    Understandable. Reminds me of a quote from Whitley Streiber:

    “Learn to live at a high level of uncertainty. Only by doing this will we begin to gain the rigorously clear and objective outlook we need to perceive what is happening correctly.” – Whitley Streiber, quoted in Jim DeKorne, ‘Psychedelic Shamanism’, p.55

    how do you cope with that?

    I recognise when I have expectations and don’t invest in them.

    What would be the worst that could happen for you? I would guess it might be something like: you go your whole life never seeing any photo that represents what you saw, nobody believes you, nobody cares, you never have any movement forward in your understanding of your experience, you die just as confused as the day after your experience. Is that really a problem? You’re still going to (presumably) have food to eat, a roof over your head, etc. So don’t worry about your lack of understanding. Expect nothing.

    It’s just a joke, right?

    No, it’s not just a joke. It’s a Christian joke.

    No one’s promoting Christianity here.

    I would suggest that telling Christian jokes, like telling Christian stories or giving Christian gifts, is tacit promotion of Christianity.
