Fascinating read. I both agree with, and disagree with you on this one.

Yes, we were warned. Yes, discarding our divine-union for profit and short term pleasure is bonkers stupid. And yes, timescales vary widely depending on one's perspective.

But no - in many ways, this life IS it. What a fucking miracle to be alive in physical bodies on a physical planet in the first place. These ideas that we were always meant to transcend to "higher realms" are, imho, at the heart of the detour that took us into destroying interdependence in the first place.

Life IS sacred. We ARE sacred. And it is only because we've forgotten these things that the cathedral-ego'd have come to "rule" things in the first place.

What might happen if we went all Robert Heinlein, and remembered that you and I are both GOD and GODDESS, and all that groks is also divine, for now and for all of eternity?
