I wonder whem belief in the afterlife could have started
on another note, have you explored the Monroe Institute's gateway experience? many pop commentators love calling it spooky CIA methods, but Robert Monroe started it far before the Feds were ever interested
First I've heard of Monroe, have you explored it at all? I've done very little meditation, tbh. Should probably do more than dip my toes in!
Ritualized burial is pretty good evidence of some notion of an afterlife, though I think in the very beginning "life" was experienced far differently as the gravity well of a self-referential "I" was faulty and not fully evolved.
I'm far in the process, but I've decided to keep where I am for now and will go further once I feel like it
The Mickey Skalzo YT channel has all the publicly available tapes, but I suggest starting with the Monroe Institute channel's free guided meditation (I actually felt my mind unlock doing that)
burials which began 50kya
start of recursion again

What do you mean "my mind unlock"? How close is this to the traditional buddhist path where there is a certain order of fetters?
it's more Daoist (and Aristotelian [in the Joe Sachs translation]) than it is Buddhist
by "mind unlock", I guess it's similar to the Daoist- Aristotelian way of insight and inner power by equanimity
but it's really something beyond words - the gateway experience is about exploring consciousness so I thought you'd really like it
XianyangCB has a good piece "The Base Layer" as a primer for Daoism if you're interested
Reminds me a bit of this book review which talks about how to integrate more mythic meaning into kids education:
