Thanks fren. Keep meditating and breathing and more truth will come as it does for us all. The fact remains that we choose aspects of our afterlife now and Jesus seems more spiritually connected than anyone and so I want to be with him in whatever is his afterlife, out of all my options. Wanting to be like him means me putting up with some pretty dogmatic people but they too come into more truth and are free to accept or reject it. As you grow you come to find that most of the ancient messages, including the Bible, aren't as ugly as detractors make them out to be, and there are good historicocultural reasons for their framework, and each aspect of them informs our lives now. The skeptical atheist creates the repulsion, but the one who constantly seeks more truth, knowledge, and experience of the divine will find it and will realize that the old ways had hints of the same too.
