See also the theological notion of apocotastasis, "in which [Origen's] eschatology, indeed his whole theological system, culminates, and which postulates that the conclusion of the vast cosmic evolution will be identical with its beginning….successive cycles of worlds, with the infinity of rational creatures passing through different phases of existence, higher and lower, according as from time to time they choose good or evil."
