    22:14 I just read “The immortality key” by Brian Muraresku (watch JRE #1543) and this is what he talks about: dying before you die (via psychedelics ego death; similar to near death experiences) gives that eternal moment: when religion talks about resurrection and eternity and being born again: this is what it really used to talk about; not some eternal life in the great beyond - but about eternity in the here and now; but that message got all watered down and replaced with a placebo.
    (The book really is about the “pagan continuity hypothesis with a psychedelic twist”: how Christianity and its sacrament evolved out of the Greek Mysteries and their psychedelic spiked wine and spiked (graveyard) beer / drink, and how the church was conducting the first “war on drugs”, removing the psychedelic ingredients from the Eucharist; cracking down on the gnostics, killing the witches / the women with the traditional knowledge about those plants; declaring every plant a poison that has psychoactive properties).

Do nothing live on a desert Island and live off the land fish and enjoy humble things.All our imaginations have chosen those routes.. The world is what it is, the way of living in it is up to us..We are no more important than the bee that flies around or the dog that barks or the cow that moos... we all live we all die and that is it.. There is nothing more nothing less.. God is a figment of our imagination. there are around a 1000 of them.. most only believe in one... be like me and believe in none ....
