I have been in world religion class all semester and have done my own personal interpretation of the bible (and other scripture). I attended Catholic school for four years and saw how skewed everyone is in their orthodox and linear interpretation of ancient ideologies. Arguing over rhetoric and word instead of meshing ideas like it should be. Here are a few of my interpretations.

First of all the garden of Eden was planet earth when humanity was still a very simple and communal clan. All was good, the earth was plentiful and we lived in harmony with nature. Somewhere along the lines, alluding to McKenna here, we were introduced to entheogens which was the "apple." The knowledge that we lacked was willingly given to us as a choice. Once we established a sense of self realized that we are one while being individual. Adam = the atom, points of infinity which all of us are. Everyone had a godly consciousness, everyone was enlightened to the fullest extent, but with the introduction of self awareness came the slow decay of the ego and corruption of selfishness. That is the price conscious beings face when they desire knowledge over simplicity. Slowly we strayed away from our origins of pure Christ consciousness.

Many religions were inspired since that original awakening, the first being of course Shamanism, through Hinduism, Buddhism, Daoism etc. All variations of the same single scattered thought process that was lost in the fray of ego. All incarnations of Gods speaking the wisdom of our lost unwritten prehistory.

Jesus was the final piece to the puzzle, whether he was real or not, the final chapter in humanities self destruction was put into the bible through the suffering of one through many.

Jesus is the model for a lost and suffering humanity, we suffer because of ignorance. Even Jesus integrated his shadow in the desert, he was tempted not by a separate entity known as Satan but by his own flawed consciousness. Even Jesus had human flaws, but he recognized, interpreted and integrated them. All symbolic of our struggle with ego which Jesus successfully overcame. We all suffer because we all allow ourselves to like Buddha said, we desire and therefore cannot be truly content because of desire.

now, with the reintroduction of the original religion, shamanism we are coming full circle again. We needed to experience all of the suffering after we chose to be enlightened over ignorant bliss. Incredibly we are accelerating towards a more singular consciousness like it was in the garden, when we realized that we are all atoms, single points of infinity.

Revelations is now, we are experiencing it, even if you believe it was written about Nero, you must also admit that history repeats itself. The symbolism of revelations are ambiguous to any time of immense oppression. Today we live in a world ruled by the anti-christ consciousness. Money, corrupt governments, corrupt religion, war, famine, biologically engineered diseases etc. Fun fact, the exchange rate for the Federal reserve is 66.6 cents to one dollar. I'll let that speak for itself. Christ has already began the spreading of truth among us, through us. It is not Jesus we should idolize, but the idea of Christ. Krishna was Christ, Buddha was Christ, we are Christ. We are all experiencing what all those Christlike figures did before us, this time it is on a global scale, so instead of one man suffering and reaching a stabilized point of enlightenment, it will occur en mass.

I had more to add but have lost my focus because of forces beyond my control.

I like that you noted the full circle in dominant religious doctrine. Good stuff. Also, great fun fact about the fed. Could you provide a link for that, I want to post that everywhere. :)
