Apparently, this is about reincarnation – and wanting to be released from it. And the solar eclipse has some kind of cause and effect connection to this chain.  It seems to me  it would have been a lot simpler to break the supposed chain of life and death by giving up your belief  in reincarnation – and you don’t have to wait for a solar eclipse to just ditch that kind of metaphysical bamboozle – but clearly there is more to it than that.

These kinds of traditional and otherwise unsubstantiated beliefs are the mental opium of many generations, rendering their adherents vulnerable to mass manipulation by the proponents of institutionalized religion, including the pretenders to the throne of  Christ, or false prophets by any other name.

The only notion of salvation that would make sense in the current context  is to get clear of this pathetic streak of breathtaking gullibility running through the human race; a debilitating if not fatal flaw by any other name,  but seemingly so deeply embedded in our DNA that I’m not sure how we will ever get rid of it. Likely, it will require an upgrade of our evolutionary path in the gray matter department, and until such time we’ll have to just keep limping along. Pity!
