Jesus was symbolized as a fish. If he does 'return' it's easy to imagine the way he does.

Take any body, name it correctly, and then you can have it travel back in time just like skyrim represents. Literature. Time almost warps to humans when we apply meaning. It is why the bible enthralls people. The body cannot return, but the mind can.

Great things to be unburied, but it is quagmire. Hence, the constant vitriol spilled forth.

Don't Bogart the joint. It's puff puff pass, man.

Not much of it is untrue though.

Gilgamesh, the oldest story explores the fight of man versus death. Disullusionment of immortality and acceptance of passing. So we deeply understand the psyche of Gilgamesh's journey, venture, and emotion. Hence we know him beyond his time. We traversed back through preservation.

A more personal example is how the mind constantly pulls itself back into the depths of their misery. Entrapped in a moment, a time, a memory that no longer exists. The same way we can see the possibilities of futures.

As for the body - think cyberpunk. Soulkiller, extracts the mind and kills the body. If the mind can be extracted, then it can be injected. Also known as avatar culture as seen in hindu and some east asian cultures. Raise them with the philosophy, logic, and culture. How do you extract the mind? Write it down.

There will come a time when the distribution of 4D salmon will take the universe to equilibrium of mass. That is what will cause the universe to collapse into a big bang. The roe will cause uneven distribution pushing gravity to create stellar structures until equilibrium is once again reached. This is not a series of season but a continuum of spawning. We can only have faith in the now. Our purpose is null. In our insignificance we can choose our values. We can also not choose because whatever we are or were is not always true. The self is fleeting. Only the 4D salmon are true in theirselves.

Are you built like a cult leader? How would you like a job.

[–] nyctre@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

I thought the beard was the only important part. What does built like a cult leader mean?

It just needs a story. What stories have salmon?

Grizzly eats a salmon. Maybe that's the basis of our creation myth. Is the grizzly bear an antagonist?

No, it's an impersonal force. Our mythos rejects dualism; we have a time travel fish. The bear represents something else, like circumstance or cupidity.
