So, you know, perhaps, you know, this whole game is being recorded just like we do, in fact, on YouTube, you know, the most popular content other than the Joe Rogan experiences is video games content.
I remember my nephew, when he was like three years old, before he was even going to school, he would say to his father, my brother, I want to watch Star Wars.
My brother was like, you want to watch the movie?
No, I want to watch that man and that woman play the Star Wars game on YouTube.
It was like he was just watching them replay a recording of the video game on YouTube.
And so this life review thing, which is at the crux of near-death experiences, I think gives us a clue and an interesting clue, which ties back to your question to me, which is how do you live with this stuff?
And I say, well, what if all of this is being recorded and you're making choices and you're going to have to review it afterwards?
So in the Christian traditions, you have St.
You have the Book of Life, right?
Which theoretically, depending on who you ask, the recording angel has written down whether you get into heaven or not by reviewing your life.
Well, it turns out in the Islamic traditions, they get much more explicit about what that is.
They call it the Scroll of Deeds.
Now, of course, remember, 2,000 years ago, they had to call it something people would understand.
The scroll of deeds, there's two angels.
And you've probably seen, like, you know, in the movies, in the animated movies, they'll have, like, the angel and the devil.
That comes out of the Islamic traditions, right?
And so there's these two angels.
