“some random guy says the same thing that hippy spiritualists have been saying for a couple thousand years”

Even if that’s true, it doesn’t make Christianity any less ridiculously fictional.

Well duh lol
It’s almost if we had systems of understanding about who we really are that have been totally discounted by a short sighted and foolish society that is dead set in worshiping its own self-image then growing into something beyond its own reflection.
Almost like there’s a book that told us that’s exactly what we’d do….
“Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images of mortal man and birds and animals and reptiles **t**herefore God gave them over in the desires of their hearts to impurity for the dishonoring of their bodies with one another.” Romans 1:23
An image is a representation of something else. It isn’t the subject itself and can never be but it is captured likeness of whatever it is representing. Mankind is the captured likeness of the creator himself, and we have traded our birthright away to define ourselves by our own standard and against nature which are only reflections themselves of higher spiritual realities.
Nothing in this world is what it seems.
The Martial world itself is symbolic of the spiritual world.
EVERYTHING here is symbolic.
We communicate with symbols. Numbers, Letters, Words, Sounds… all symbolic for thoughts and ideas inside of us that represent what we feel and think but arnt those feelings and thoughts themselves.
Symbols that we then use to shape the symbolic world around us.
People focus on the flesh, focus on the world, focus on themselves.
When they should be looking past the representation of the truth….
…..FOR THE TRUTH HIMSELF.
May you all keep searching for the truth with an open heart because I KNOW that if you do, he will find you too and you will see things beyond what they represent for what they truly are.

Why do you think Nicodemus has such a hard time when Jesus told him that he must be born again?
“How can someone be born when they are old?” Nicodemus asked. “Surely they cannot enter a second time into their mother’s womb to be born!”
**^(“)**Jesus answered, “Very truly I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Spirit. **^(6)** Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit^([)[^(b)](https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John%203%3A1-21&version=NIV#fen-NIV-26127b)^(]) gives birth to spirit. **^(7)** You should not be surprised at my saying, ‘You^([)[^(c)](https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John%203%3A1-21&version=NIV#fen-NIV-26128c)^(]) must be born again.’ **^(8)** The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit.” ^(John 3:4-8)

This is the way it’s always been.
People focus on the flesh, focus on the world, focus on themselves.

…..FOR THE TRUTH HIMSELF.
May you all keep searching for the truth with an open heart because I KNOW that if you do, he will find you too and you will see things beyond what they represent for what they truly are.
Godbless & Godspeed.
