This is a wonderful piece, a rhizome, very good indeed, NFP has come up with a `good` piece after a long long time. A rivalry between Platonic pure `Forms` and Nietzsche`s eternal recurrence.
This is beautiful line:
``There is only one God, who simultaneously permeates all creation and exists beyond it, being both immanent and transcendent.``
But as we go along the story rejects transcendence in favor of Spinozian pure imminence and the recognition of eternal recurrence of everything.
``Must not whatever can run its course of all things, have already run along that lane? Must not whatever can happen of all things have already happened, resulted, and gone by?``
``I will come back, with this sun, with this earth, with this eagle, with this serpent- not for a new life or a better life, but to to the same life I am now leading. I will come back unto this same old life, in the greatest things and in the smallest, in order to teach once more eternal recurrence of all things.``
= But the story has so much more, like I said its a rhizome....but all I think of now is in terms of Plato and Nietzsche. May be a second read will shed some more darkness.
