Yeah, Jung figured out a lot of good stuff including one of the most core teachings: the Hieros Gamos or Alchemical union of opposites. He covered it in The Mysterium Coniunctionis. Every tradition has this concept whether it's God/Holy Spirit/Christ, Osiris/Isis/Horus, Chi/Rho/Phi, or, as is often the case, the third spot is left blank as it is in the cases of Fu Xi and Nu Gua, Damballa and Ayida Weddo, Yin and Yang, Alpha and Omega and many others. I call it "the Perennial Holy Trinity": the Divine Feminine unites with the Divine Masculine within a person. This is essentially a self-birthing of the Divine Child or enlightened being.
He also figured out that archetypes are important and that we each use one another as mirrors. Everyone is a guide, but people tend to be mixed bags of attractive guidance and repellant guidance.
Humans are very similar to each other in many ways. When we get sick, we often have the same symptoms: runny nose, fever, coughing, sore throat. Religious experience is similar. It’s not a big deal if a lot of humans hallucinate in similar ways.
That's it, right there. That last snarky sentence is why you will reincarnate and suffer through more lives before you reach what you would understand to be "heaven".
By choosing to regard your fellow humans as though they have nothing of substance to offer, you are walling yourself off from truths. You are the rich man who will not enter the city because you won't take the saddlebags off your camel so it can fit through the narrow opening known as the eye of the needle. You are the professor full of your own speculations and assumptions who will be unable to learn Zen because you cannot empty your cup.
When you figure out the Golden Rule doesn't mean trashing every other tradition, you'll be on the right path. When you figure out that the Golden Rule means learning every tradition with a receptive mind that is also guarded by robust discernment, you'll be ready to start walking that path. Until then, you are a part of the problem that my work will cure on a long enough time line.
Dogmatists like you will dwindle in numbers until you are no bigger than the KKK is today.
The golden rule is shit and retarded. “Treat others the way you want to be treated.” Pretty dumb. A hormonal teenage girl can dismantle the golden rule by just talking to you about love languages 🤣
Some like receiving gifts. Others like words of affirmation. If you follow the golden rule, then you’ll give gifts to people who want verbal reassurance simply because you like receiving gifts. Not a great recipe for satisfying relationships.
Consider a better rule like the silver rule. Be the type of person you’d like to associate with. A more practical rule to follow that leads to more harmony and satisfying relationships. But religion says…. Yea yea enjoy your altered and corrupted thousand year old books
Well they all have a version of the Golden Rule and for good reason.
You have a lot of assumptions baked into your perspective which is ultimately rooted in willful ignorance.
You don’t know my past nor do you know what I have focused upon in my studies.
Because you think you know me, you won’t actually know me.
Likewise, because you think you know what all of these religions are about, you will not know what they are about.
Have fun suffering through your next life. You won’t be as wealthy in the next one.
You don’t know my past either but I don’t claim to know yours or claim to know all the religions. You don’t know all the religions either. You can spend your entire life studying all these religions and you’ll run out of time before you learn them all.
But what’s the point of all that? You’re chasing your own tail. Where is the evidence that any of these religions are anything but manmade? There is none. If there is show me. If there isn’t, then I have no reason to waste my time studying.
Right, you’re prejudiced, ignorant, and lazy. You also have made up your mind. You’re a waste of time.
You should consider incorporating the Hermetic principles which are exoterically coded into many of the mainstream religious texts, particularly the new testament.
Agreed. I have copies of the Corpus Hermeticum, the Kybalion, and the Hermetica.
Also, there's a very good chance that my research includes the core that ties Egypt to both chemistry and alchemy. I am pretty sure I've figured out the science and legitimate origin of the baptism ritual. I shared this research on Once Bitten episode 562. TLDR the Egyptians were capable of synthesizing various chemicals using their buildings, including hydrochloric and sulfuric acids which are what would be necessary to convert basalt into magnesium sulfate used in sensory deprivation. Sarcophagi were sensory deprivation tanks. Sensory deprivation induces theta neural oscillations which are key to multiple altered states of consciousness including kundalini awakenings up to and including full enlightenment.
Where are you planning to publish your religious synthesis work? I'd be interested in reading it.
I have done a lot of work but I have a lot of work left to do as well.
Right now, I'm rewriting/revising/editing through the first 40-50 pages of my presentation notes which are about 160-170 pages in length as of right now. About 75% of that is a fresh rewrite, although I'm going to have to revise and edit that too eventually.
I also have a head start on the book. So far it's mostly backstory and personal context which is necessary to understand how I got to this point. I need to streamline chapter 5 as it contains a lot of redundancy. I probably ought to revise and edit the first 4 chapters too.
I'm getting close to the point where I'm running out of major topics to cover but I have at least one or two more that, for sure, warrant coverage before I call it a finished work ready to be submitted to a publishing house for review.
That said, my hope is to have this published before the end of 2026. As a first time author, however, I have no idea how long I should expect the publishing process to take. I'm kind of thinking that I could have my manuscript finished by early spring which leaves half a year for professional editing, printing, etc. to happen.
