So you stated you did some homework and found what?
The knowledge of what the Tree Of Life is.
I agree with you that Christian religion in many cases does more damage than good,
It has much to answer for. It is in demise though.
but then I believe that the Christian faith through Jesus is the most precious thing in life.
Yes it's a tempting prospect isn't it. Just believe X, Y , Z and magically you're saved and will go to some future utopia. it's a comfort blanket which you've believed because there are holes in your life.
The reality is that you can't die. You can only change form as you have already done countless times before being a human.
So you've bought into the psychological scaremongering of the doctrine.
You've created a need pout of nothing and you've been literally frightened into believing a lie.
That's why I said earlier that it takes great humility to ever escape from that trap. It's hard, even impossible for some to contemplate that what they have now chosen to believe is a nonsense and a deception.
Does it matter? Christians quite often come up with the statement:
"Well if I'm wrong and there is no God or Heaven then what have I lost? I've lived a good wholesome life anyway"
Unfortunately this couldn't be more wrong.
What you've done by believing the lies, is stopped thinking, stopped searching, become lazy and placed yourself on a conveyor belt to early death.
You've basically absolved yourself of all studying and searching for real truth having been spoon-fed the oh so tasty religious doctrineand satisfied yourself that there's nothing left to do. You just need to keep believing and magically everything will come good after you die.
This is in fact perilous.
It is NOT without reason that the Bible speaks of people living 900+ years. THAT IS a normal humna life span, if not even longer.
Why then are you satisfied to live just 70-90 yrs !! Who told you that such a tiny life span was normal? Why did you believe and accept it?!!
It's a lie
However, in order to live that normal life span of 900+ years you need access to the White and Red stones of alchemy. The stones that Jesus had and gave to his disciples. (Note that they are not actual stones like rocks, they are substances, powders, oils etc).
Jesus gave you the starkest warning you could hope for here:
John 6:53
"Jesus said to them, “Very truly I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. 54 Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day. 55 For my flesh is real food and my blood is real drink."
Now you're an intelligent guy. So I know that you don't think Jesus was being literal here. Jesus was not a cannibal. He's not suggesting we need to start nibbling his arms and legs to eat his flesh !! But neither is he talking about some airf fairy figurative mumbo jumbo, nor is he talking about eating paper or drinking wine.
He's is as always, using allegorical terms and he is referring to the White Stone and the Red Stone of alchemy. He is saying that unless you eat the White Stone and drink the Red Stone, then ther eis literally no life in you and I'm afraid you're going to die. That's his stark warning.
This isn't some kind of farcical goodbye plea asking his disciples to remember him by lighting a candle on his birthday after he's gone. This is a real life warning telling people that the true source of life, the real Tree Of Life, is the White and Red Stone of alchemy. The Stones that provide the life energy your body need to thrive and flourish and live 900+ years. Or even to live indefinitely. As matter of point though, if you look into alchemy you will find that it suggests that the more Stone you ingest the more this transforms your body and mind to the point where you will eventually become a new kind of being. Your faculties will be opened so much that you'll use all your brain's capacity, and all your innate abilities will be realised. You will ultimately transform into a "light being" and will "ascend" as the trappings of physical human existance here on Earth will seem pointless and boring and limiting. You'll become true spirit/soul and willingly shake off your limiiting physical body and go travelling around the galaxy or through different planes of existence.
But that's all far down the line. Right now, the stark warning from Jesus is that we're going to die very very early if we don't "eat the flesh" and "drink the blood" which refers to the products of alchemy. Those Stones will, on the one hand, give you health and longevity whilst at the same time providing the ability to transmute base metals into gold and silver (and thus gain much wealth) although the latter is these days shunned as a benefit since health and long life is far far superiour to the acquisition of monetary wealth.
Here's the greatest Bible passage that is talking about the alchemy stones (though it allegorically talks about "wisdom" to conceal the secret):
Proverbs 3:13-20:
Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding. For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold. She is more precious than rubies: and all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her. Length of days is in her right hand; and in her left hand riches and honour. Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace. She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her: and happy is every one that retaineth her. The LORD by wisdom hath founded the earth; by understanding hath he established the heavens. By his knowledge the depths are broken up, and the clouds drop down the dew.
Do you see it? Length of days, i.e. longevity, long life is one benefit and "riches and honour" i.e. wealth is another benefit.
Note how the passage finishes with the same allegorical references to the alchemy processes that we also see in Genesis and elsewhere. The "heavens", "Earth", "Rain", "dew" etc etc. This is to absolutely underline the fact that we are not talking about "wisdom" per say but about the White and Red Stones.
Song of Solomon 5:10-16:
My beloved is white and ruddy, the chiefest among ten thousand. His head is as the most fine gold,
White and Red again.
Deuteronomy 32:2
"My doctrine shall drop as the rain, my speech shall distil as the dew, as the small rain upon the tender herb,
and as the showers upon the grass:
Let me tell you another truth. This same message of the Stone and the alchemical process that uses glass flasks and sees a microcosm weather like system taking place within it, mist rising, condensing as dew, falling back down as rain etc, is found in every major religious work, hidden there equally in plain sight and using the same allegorical terminolgy. It's in the Quran, the Bhagavad Gita, in Taoism and so on.
One message, spread out to all civilisations and cultures of humanity.
Stand back. Be humble. Accept the truth of what Jesus was saying not the lies that religion has fed you.
