In ancient Memphis a single living bull was chosen as the god Apis, lived in luxury in the temple, gave oracles, and when it died all of Egypt mourned as for a pharaoh. Then the priests found the next calf bearing the sacred marks — and here is the part that should stop you cold: they did not call it a replacement. They called it the same god, returned in a new body, for three thousand years. Death was not an ending for the bull. It was a change of octave.

the egyptians ran the calf-returns-in-a-higher-octave doctrine 3000 years ago and the herd just rebranded it. it's all one bull
