level headed and sensible approach from mr grape
its good when they dismiss the mechanics of the archaic eternal return, (the where or how this takes place is unimportant), stepping into simultaneous time is still possible for anyone unfortunate enough to grow up after the writing of the first book.
it could be in the sense of enchantment that they talk about through tolkein.
you have it all the time with any aesthetic experiences, any aquired taste, when an access point can produce an alteration to the world, a new perceptual apparatus, eg maybe you didnt like house but then you saw green velvet.
something akin to that kind of simultaneous archaic time are those sorts of temporal leaps you get when listening to something you used to love or hate which suddenly have the inverse effect
or just the sudden feeling that you are being given an experience shared by many others before and after you.
thats why i dont think museums or the prestige of an authentic original artefact are a complete waste of time that should be burned down, on a very simple level that strong sense you could get being 6 inches in front of the mona lisa that you have embodied this mythical set of coordinates 6 inches relative to the painting is an indicator of stepping into simultaneity outside the slow death of the art exhibition.
or like i dont know about bloomer but with literary influence being like a the moment stanley ipkiss puts on the mask
one thing that hadnt occured to me which he gets across is that each day of lockdown has become a mythical eternal return embodying the exact archetypal gestures of the previous day, eg making a lentil chili, doing some stretches while listening to bbc london etc
even for instance i was reading the grapey yesterday at the the exact same time as i was this afternoon when on both occasions my housemate told me to go sit in the garden with them, mindblowing stuff!!
