For me, such an inspirational post surreptitious!!
Your comments dovetail nicely with thoughts that passed between my ears a few hours before reading your comments and thoughts that passed between my ears a few hours after reading your comments.
I settled on sharing the following thought(s).
First some context:
-
Both the OT and NT are peppered with ancient Egypt events … culture … religion. For example, the exodus myth and the desert fathers story(s).
-
Some Biblical scholars believe the OT Genesis story was written by a woman … likely an Egyptian woman.
-
Some people believe the NT Lazarus story … as in death and resurrection … is an echo of Egyptian mystery school teaching, rituals, dogma. The essence of the message being … one must voluntarily submit to death … figuratively as in ritual or literally … not sure.
The human collective consciousness has all the pieces of the puzzle … but more cogitation within the collective consciousness is required … more pieces of the puzzle fall into place … before the “picture” becomes clear. I say “fall” because human(s) are not the creator … designer of the puzzle … we are simply actors on the stage.
Yet it’s becoming increasingly clear the author(s) of the puzzle want us to know/understand it. Fortunately, not all of the pieces of the puzzle need to be in place before we can ‘see’ the message. Like the children’s connect the dots puzzle … at some point … sometimes long before all dots are connected the child knows the answer.
The pieces that have yet to ‘fall’ in place deal with death. When humans have spent a very tiny fraction of the time and effort they spent on how to live a good life … on how to prepare for a good death … how to not only not fear death … embrace it as simply a single step along a very long journey.
surreptitious … you are obviously in the vanguard of this movement … I hope you will take your responsibility seriously … ergo … help build a critical mass of humanity achieve what you have already achieved.
