The business of sun bathing and the evaporating effects of the sun, damascus 50 BC

Damascus is (not well known) to be the oldest continuously inhabited city in the world. It is thought to have been first inhabitated between 8,000 and 10,000 BC however it is not well documented as an important city. Anyway, Sovereignty over Damascus passed from the Assyrians to the Chaldaeans (Neo-Babylonians) under King Nebuchadnezzar in 572 BC. Then to Alexander the great, to the Seleucid empire, then to the Ptolemaic empire after 332 BC. Damascus soon become a popular city with trade routes between Arabia, Petra and Palmyra around 222 BC. Damascus's importance as a caravan city was evident with these trade routes and being near the river Barada which the towns walls are enclosed by.

Ok, so onto 64 BC where St. Paul (of the old testament) is passing through and has a vision. He is struck blind immediately and soon converts to Christianity. Because of his calling or vision as it were he decideds to stay, setting up a small camp near Barada where he lives and makes his living as a prophet. Because he is blind and Damascus is hot, he invents sunbathing. Partially due to his incessant passion about the sun but also because it is hot and laying near the flowing river is cooling and soothing to him. Passers-bye on route to Petra and Arabia hot and tired see St. Paul sunbathing with a growing number of sunbathers following his actions, taking in the sun and quietly murmuring hymns of grace. Because Damascus is so hot followers would (after hours of in the sun) turn to the water to cool down. They would bathe in the waters and soon return to continue sunbathing. Each person would take turns cooling off and return to their spot where others would watch the water evaporate from their skin and wait in anticipation for their turn. It was mystifying. As time went on St. Paul took donations for being able to sunbathe in his small commune of Christians where he lectured and spoke the word. Soon others who claimed land decided to charge as well to sunbathe and be able to watch the water evaporate from their bodies. It was deemed a cleansing effect that should be payed for. The holy water returning to the heavens where God would cleanse you and make you clean again. This lasted approximately 37 years until the Romans conquered Damascus and claimed it as their own, putting an end to the business of sunbathing. I love you.

The inners and outers of circular involvement in regards to consciousness acceptance with breath being the god engine

In a DMT test last night I was able to exhale and step into my own breath vortex which was a split second creation of an entire galaxy complete as our own. My breath was a bubble just as when you blow bubbles as a kid, except I was able to step into it as I produced it. I became smaller and entered this whole other world where everything was small. The beings I met inside were small like children but old and wise. They tumbled and tossed and talked to me without words. Inside we exhaled and created more new galaxies which we explored together. We danced and sang and the wise ones explained this phenomenon to me. "This is how all life is formed" they said at once, because it wasn't a single voice I heard, it was a total voice. The voice of all creation. "Without you and your breath", they said, "We don't exist". And "without us, you and your breath don't exist". To keep everything balanced we must inhale and take in what we have created. So we as bodies become the new galaxies. Bubbles of life and realities that grow inside us infinetely. It happens every second we breath and we can choose to either explore outwards or inwards. We all laughed and sang again and I exhaled some more. Watching my breath form new galaxies for me to explore.
