And it tells you it's kind of in the same area where Abraham almost sacrifices Isaac. Oh. So it's interesting. Yeah. And the cross, in any artistic depiction, at the foot of the cross, underneath it is the skull. representing the skull of Adam. Huh. So it's interesting.
Yep.
Place of the skull, memory, myth, and the chapel of Adam.
Yeah. I think, isn't the Smithsonian guy all for it? I don't know. Maybe that's him. I don't know. But, yeah. There's for and against. There's always been.
But the image is like.
Yeah. It had to have been some kind of intense light.
It's like an x-ray vision. It's like an x-ray. You really see it in the negative only. Right. Right. It's like a negative. Yeah. Hey, I buy it. But that's not the only reason I buy it. I mean, I think there's other logical reasons why I believe. Yeah.
Oh, okay. Stuff that happens in your own life. The results you get from actually appealing to a power greater than yourself, you know? And, I mean, I don't think it's any secret. I am flawed in the fact that I am by nature born an alcoholic, right? I did drugs. I did alcohol. And there was nothing that could stop me. me from doing that. Nothing.
So I was really kind of on, you're on a downhill run. So I regard the fact that I was able to appeal to something greater than myself to help me and actually stop me doing that. I think that's a miracle. It is, for me it is, and for many.
Because you're suffering your spiritual malady. So it's a spiritual cure. And that's the essence, I think, of why it works. Because you can't explain it otherwise.
But I think what you're being asked to do is to think about other people and other things more than yourself because it's kind of an ego disease.
And no matter what you need, it's never going to be enough.
Right. So you actually have to appeal to something outside that you consider bigger and better than yourself, which instantly... kind of pushes you more in the direction of humility because you're not the center of the universe anymore and that you can't do it. And the first step in any of that sort of stuff is accepting that you are powerless over it.
That's the most powerful step you can do is that you're powerless. When you realize that, you're like, okay, there's fuck all I can do about this. I have to appeal to something better than me. And that to me is a miracle.
What is the purpose of everything? I mean, why am I here? What's the meaning of this? I'm looking for a purpose, and what is it we're here for? I think, you know, we have to leave some stuff, but you have to leave some good stuff. You can leave plenty of bad stuff. And we're all prone that way. I often think about the human race as a whole.
You think about guys like Stalin or Hitler or Chairman Mao. And I'm pretty sure I'm not going to be sharing a cell in the afterlife with those guys. I don't know where I'll be on the ladder. Depends on how you end up, right?
It really is. And we're allowed to make mistakes. And we do. We are so flawed. And I'm more flawed than anyone. But it's something that you, I think, and it's pretty safe to say I'm in the third act now. You're in act two, right? Gesundheit. But I'm like, I'm in the third act, man. So you have to think about the other side. You have to think about what comes next. Is there a next? Yes, there is.
I believe there is. And I think it depends on how you live now. And the beauty of believing is that Even for your transgressions, you can be forgiven. And you can be redeemed. But it's all up here.
You have to look at yourself honestly.
Absolutely honestly. You have to be able to accuse yourself. And... and understand that it's a great deal of mercy involved in the fact that I believe that God sent his son down to tell us, okay, I'm going to ransom you people from your fallen nature, and I'll give you a roadmap on how to do it. And people do it. There's even people that do it that have never even heard of it.
