“Our cultures have become so toxic and insipid that any encounter with anything actually resembling ourselves has been relegated to the domain of ‘near-death’. Thus, in reality, what we are calling ‘near-death’ experiences are more accurately understood as introductions to the culture to which we truly belong. Apparently, we are so confused that we may require the alarm bell of crisis to merely begin to understand who and what we are.

The universal culture here in evidence is not a human or metaphysical culture. It does not fit within our models or descriptions and it perennially refuses to be named, sold, or co-opted by them. So when you see this kind of material on offer, you should be suspicious — it has been hijacked, its wings have been removed, and you are being sold models of its skeletal remains. Do not comply.”
