I must commend the Ancient ppl and the way they tried to interpret the Cosmological, Astrological, Astronomical, etc...stories by externalizing the skies to represent ppl, so other ppl could understand our realm, as well as our souls evolutionary journey. It truly is "As above, so below" in many many ways. Just like the Bible, Popol Vuh and other Ancient petroglyphs heiroglyphs, geoglyphs, etc...

The lotus flower is indeed a mystical plant. I had a religious experience back in 2015-2016 with it. I was “shown” my purpose in life, and experienced divine oneness with the cosmos. This body is indeed a vessel for the soul, as we evolve in consciousness to move from this realm to the next.

[@KeepItReal1]

@mandalahigherplanes Agreed! I experienced the electrical Khundalini Snake inside my spine to the top of my cranium in 2016, which knocked out my entire breath for what felt like forever but was told it was for about one minute. When I came to, I gained a KNOWING and couldn't explain where all the info was coming from, and it's been happening since. I KNOW before things happen.

These lectures would suit any audience in their entirety. Going by Mr Campbell's suits isn't too tricky, but sequencing them is. Just a thought.
