People ask me this more than almost anything else. Not 'does shamanic work actually work' and not 'what do you believe'. They want to know what happens in a shamanic session. What they're walking into. Whether they'll have to say a chant, hold a rattle, wear something, or believe something before we even begin. So let me answer plainly, the way I wish someone had answered for me the first time.

The Eternal Recurrence is this: what if every moment of your life - every single one, in exact sequence, with all the same details, including the ones you would rather forget - recurs infinitely? Not as metaphor. Not as a thought experiment you can pat on the head and put down. As the actual structure of existence.
