On ancient knowledge, I think that God gave the humankind the ability and physical means to acquire it (human brain has endless capabilities and we only use a tiny part of it and the elites want to keep it that way by turning us away from the spiritual world, numbing our spirits and trapping it into the material world). I understand that no one is necessarily eager to find more about this said knowledge, and that's ok, but to me, it's important as it helps me seeing through the veil of things and realising that this world is counterfeit. Most of the respectable figures were occultists such as philosophers, scientists etc and we own them everything we know about the world, if it weren't that way, our ways of life would be stuck in the Dark Ages (I am not talking about satanists ofc)
As for women, no I don't believe in any of it. The Bible made this story up to ensure that the children belonged to their husbands and for other sinister spiritual reasons. No one is born to help and serve men, women are their own person and they are definitely not subservient. Most men are incapable to run the earth and they are full of deviance (wars, r*pes, entitlement, sexism, greed etc etc) It's a huge subject but I wouldn't want to digress.
In other respects, I totally agree with you, life should have been more simple, now people live only to work and we have lost any contact with the universe and the earth in general. Yes I know that feeling, my country's religion consider people who question it's practices as atheists, and brainwash us into believing that the contact with God can be only achieved through church. Also they are so hypocrites, they go around preaching about love and simplicity of life while driving the most luxurious cars and wearing fancy attires at church, when Jesus himself only had 2 robes in his possession. I have to admit that I admire the peace of mind you managed to get, I hope I could achieve that someday too as my mind tend to be so active.
