in which we discover a Beatles record from an alternate dimension recorded after Let It Be

Among his effects, the two stevedores find an album by the Beatles that they have never seen before. It is described as such:

"The cover was elementally simple: just a black field, with a single word rendered in a white typewriter font in the lower left hand corner.

"God."

The album itself was published by Apple Records, but had no dates or track listings on it. For all intents and purposes, it seemed to be something that shouldn't exist: The Beatles' twelfth album, when both the proponents of the story know that they only produced eleven. They do what just about everyone would do: ( They played it. )

so i just relistened to this tall tale of McKenna's. it came to him while "meditating in [his] usual fashion". it's spoken of in a language both science fictional and mythological, and the idea is kind of neat: the lack of Christ in a timestream obliterated all intellectual traditions of Christianity. therefore the Empire lasted longer, advanced more scientifically, and developed a hermetic shamanic technology after cultural contact and exchange with the Maya. luckily, someone has transcribed the entire thing for us. an excerpt:

So everything about these two worlds was the same, except in one of them the Immaculate Conception or the Resurrection had not taken place. Now, because Christ had no children, in the world in which he was absent, it was not a genetic line that was missing, it was an ideological line which never received expression. And consequently, as time passed, first decades, and then centuries, the absence of this particular intellectual influence in the world changed the world radically, in the following way: Greek science did not suffer the suppression that occurred with the conversion of Constantine; the Academies were not closed; the Hermetic knowledge was not repressed. Conversely, the Empire was stronger, and was able to repel the barbarian invasions of the 2nd to the 5th century, and mathematics, which had halted in our world at Diophantus, proceed through his disciple Hypatia to develop a calculus by AD 370. So that the millennium of Christian stasis that occurred in our world did not occur in that world.

As time passed, and engineering advances occurred, by around 850 they had ships that were able to cross the Atlantic Ocean. And they encountered the Mayan civilization reaching its fullest flower in Guatemala and in the Yucatan peninsula. In fact, in this vision I saw the Roman Emperor Cosmodorus the Fifth make a pilgrimage to Tikal in 920 to be present at the coronation of a king at the end of Baktun 8. Anyway, this Greco-Roman imperial culture immediately recognized the genius of the Mayans in mathematics and astronomy, and Europe was...transformed, into an amalgamation, a Greco-Mayan civilization, and this civilization continued to develop.

Now one of the influences which the Mayans brought into Europe around the year 950 was their extremely sophisticated psychopharmacopeia, and shamanism. And this mated with Neoplatonism and Hermeticism, so that rather than science developing as it developed in our world, a kind of magical, psychopharmacolytic technology of thought and understanding was what was developed over the centuries. And in later centuries, centuries before it happened in our world, they contacted the Orient, and the dynastic influence of the Sung poured itself into the creation of a global civilization. Such that, by around 1200 AD they were able to land on the moon, and create a cybernetic global civilization similar to the kind we have now.
