I wouldn't say that but I would say that the "ba" contained within BAptism, kabBAlah, and merkaBAh are all the same "ba" and all of these areas do relate to one another. I Imagine that before an initiate was baptized, they were probably educated on Egyptian mystery teachings such as Kabbalah or the Merkabah symbol.

What I'm saying is that there is a scientifically measurable and verifiable brain oscillation that can be induced in a person under the right circumstances and the modern practice ain't it.

The ancient practice, just like the modern one, takes place in a "sacred building" with other people who have already been "initiated" or are to be initiated.

The ancient practice, just like the modern one, entails a human being being immersed in a stone basin of fluid.

The ancient practice, unlike the modern one, produced specific, targeted, measurable brain oscillations in the initiate being baptized. Certain ranges of brain oscillations can produce very interesting results like the ability to explore past life memories or even enlightenment.

Baptism was an enlightenment technology/ritual back in the day.

Now it's just a way of selling useless services to people based on fear and traumatizing babies.
