Everything, at one point or another, will repeat; thus, the cycle continues. What we perceive as beginnings and endings are just transitions - phases in an ever-flowing sequence. The idea of time "beginning" at a specific point already assumes time exists to mark that beginning, which creates a paradox. Instead, it's more likely that time has no true origin or end, only changes in form and context.

This leads to the notion of a cyclical universe, where events, patterns, even entire histories may repeat in some way. Civilizations rise and fall, stars are born and die, yet the fabric of time continues undisturbed. In this view, the universe isn’t progressing toward an ultimate goal or endpoint. It’s breathing, pulsating, expanding, collapsing, and starting over in endless recurrence.

So no, we haven’t been “here” forever in the same form - but existence, in some expression, always has been and always will be. Time isn’t a straight line. It’s a loop, a spiral, maybe even a dance - without a true beginning, without a final end.
