"history repeats it self" we have heard this before,, is it just a sayin based on examples available through out the history or is there some thing more complex and mystic about it.is it possible that the universe follows a rule of cyclicity not only in the case of time but every thing possible.
human nature, biological transformations, climatic change, world economies...take any possible example allowed by your intellectual capacity, and I am sure that there exists a pattern of cyclicity in that. for an early exercise try to figure out the similarities between an toddler and a senior citizen. Climatic changes are cyclical we knw between to successive ice ages, economics teach us the cyclicity of recessionary phases every 8 years. Even human behavior is cyclical in terms of their gender specific behavior as the ratio of testosterone and progesterone changes with the age. what we are saying that if its a universal laws still to be assessed by science then the theory of birth and rebirth also acquires volume.
