    Jesus was symbolized as a fish. If he does ‘return’ it’s easy to imagine the way he does.

    Take any body, name it correctly, and then you can have it travel back in time just like skyrim represents. Literature. Time almost warps to humans when we apply meaning. It is why the bible enthralls people. The body cannot return, but the mind can.

    Great things to be unburied, but it is quagmire. Hence, the constant vitriol spilled forth.

        Not much of it is untrue though.

        Gilgamesh, the oldest story explores the fight of man versus death. Disullusionment of immortality and acceptance of passing. So we deeply understand the psyche of Gilgamesh’s journey, venture, and emotion. Hence we know him beyond his time. We traversed back through preservation.

        A more personal example is how the mind constantly pulls itself back into the depths of their misery. Entrapped in a moment, a time, a memory that no longer exists. The same way we can see the possibilities of futures.

        As for the body - think cyberpunk. Soulkiller, extracts the mind and kills the body. If the mind can be extracted, then it can be injected. Also known as avatar culture as seen in hindu and some east asian cultures. Raise them with the philosophy, logic, and culture. How do you extract the mind? Write it down.
