Eternal Return is also talked about by Eliade in a different context, who Laura has quoted in several places: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternal_Return_(Eliade)
The Spoon said:Off topic but I didn't think it was worth starting a new thread for this quick observation. I just put on Peter Pan (1953) for my two young'uns, and it surprised me by starting with the line "All of this has happened before, and all of this will happen again" which threw me for six because it's straight out of Battlestar Galactica, or more correctly, the central theme of Battlestar Galactica is straight out of Disney's Peter Pan.
I found the reference here: __http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternal_return
I then did a search for "Disney Esoteric" and found this which...I don't know...it's a lot to get through. In his favour, the author at least cites a bibliography.

For comparison, the book begins thusly:
All children, except one, grow up. They soon know that they will grow up, and the way Wendy knew was this. One day when she was two years old she was playing in a garden, and she plucked another flower and ran with it to her mother. I suppose she must have looked rather delightful, for Mrs. Darling put her hand to her heart and cried, "Oh, why can't you remain like this for ever!" This was all that passed between them on the subject, but henceforth Wendy knew that she must grow up. You always know after you are two. Two is the beginning of the end.
