Overman, Affirmation, Incorporation

As Nietzsche characterizes it in #211 of Beyond Good and Evil, "to overcome the entire past" is to prepare for creativity.  Correspondingly, in 'Of the Three Metamorphoses', in Thus Spoke Zarathustra, that past is "in" the lion, the symbol of the second metamorphosis.  Thus, Nietzsche equates 'overcoming' and 'incorporation'.  Now, the final of those metamorphoses is symbolized by the Yes-saying "child", the image in the context for the Overman.  Thus, entailed in the affirmation of Eternal Recurrence, by which Man is transformed into the Overman, is the incorporation of the former in the latter.
