What if life, as we experience it, was just some compressed file that, when unzipped, could expand beyond our comprehension? A little Indian pointing to an entire file?
Hmmm. I wonder what qualities of life would be a determining factor of the extent of unzipping in death? Would it be how much good you do, directly or systemically? How self aware you become? How much terror you evoke?
Or possibly what your relationship was with the creator? My beliefs are based on truth, the Bible, a book of proven history and the existence of a God who came to earth and walked as a man and who was crucified so I might receive forgiveness for my sins. If you don't want to have your "file unzipped" and find yourself on the losing end of things, get out of the psychedelic world and jump back into reality and truth and get to know Jesus Christ. He isn't just a fairy tale!! TWW
Edgar Allan Poe, Mesmeric Revelation, look for the part where he says "we are as worms on this earth, and what we eat is our experiences of the contrast between pleasure and pain, when we die we metamorphosis as butterflies in Heaven." Bro, "Thou shalt not cast what is holy before dogs, and do not cast your pearls before swine." He also says, "Let your light so shine before men that they may glorify your Father in Heaven." "If you're eye is light then so is your body, if the light of your body is darkness, how great is that darkness!" Do you not know that to carry your cross and to follow after Christ is the exact point of Christianity? Do you not know that He came to bring not peace, but a sword? "Be ye as wise as serpents and harmless as doves." "I did not come into this world to condemn the world, but to save, but this is the condemnation, that the light has entered the world, and men loved darkness instead of the light." "Let the world love itself." "Be unspotted from the world." You know how hard it is to be a Christian nowadays? I don't even bother anymore, I lost my faith, but I still try to perform well before the sight of God. But I am not capable or willing to give up everything I have to die a martyr that will probably just be forgotten. "Be ye perfect, as I am perfect." Christ is a martyr! Even in the old testament, Solomon says not to be overly righteous or overly wicked. He says,"Don't be overly righteous, why should you destroy yourself? Don't be overly wicked, why should you die before your time?" But to follow after Christ, is to set yourself with strength, to glorify God in the line of fire, without committing at all to the flesh. If you're going to practice truth, you have to understand the spiritual terms of wisdom, discretion, and discernment. And especially, patience. Don't cast your pearls before swine! Peace!
That's assuming that unzipping puts you on the losing side of things. I like the idea that it would put you closer to your creator. It's funny you mention my getting out of the psychedelic life. I used to live in that realm but now it's pretty much the straight and narrow. I just come here to explore thoughts.
