Summary
In this almost two-hour discussion, guest Hitesh joins me to consider the true purpose of this realm, what created it, and why. He presents an overview on the Gnostic creation story and his take on it. Along the way we reflect upon such subjects as: the food chain and the cruelty of the “natural” world; why human physiology was designed the way it is when so many better options were available; how this reality seems to be “coded” to facilitate evil and punish good; the gaslighting and excuses made by religions and New Age spiritual teachings to give a pass to “God” and the hellworld it placed us in. Crucially, we end on a positive note, considering cosmic escape routes. This is one of the most candid and in-depth conversations of this nature yet. Hitesh welcomes feedback and can be contacted on the following e-mail address: [email protected]
