Entry 406 - Christianity vs Jesus' Message

-
12/23/20

Do you really believe in Jesus, or do you just believe in what Christianity believes Jesus’ message was?

To believe in ideas about Jesus is different than believing beyond ideas.

One comes from religion, the other comes from the heart.

If you truly believed in Jesus, you would believe in yourself.

Jesus’ message wasn’t to submit to a new religion called Christianity and believe in the ideas about him or go to hell.

Jesus’ message was about taking your power back from oppressive, patriarchal, oligarchic societies and religions.  

Jesus’ message was about being your truest and most authentic expression.

Jesus’ message was about love and equality for all. He did not advocate for imbalanced systems like patriarchy or matriarchy, but was for an egalitarian way of life appreciating both sexes equally.

Jesus’ message wasn’t about blood being a price to pay, but a message that we are more than our bodies and we truly cannot die.

Jesus led the way to self-realization, not into another oppressive religion whose message is to convert people to their way of thinking about God or go to hell.

Christianity teaches duality, forcing salvation to seem as if it lies in their hand of doctrines and teachings and no one else’s.

Jesus taught transcending duality bent on fear and control by realizing the oneness that is, was, and always will be.

Do you really want to know the difference between Christianity and the spirituality taught by Jesus?  

Christianity's version is like putting a goldfish in a tiny tank in the ocean. Jesus' version of spirituality is the goldfish in the entire ocean.

Christianity is “I see God through a limited lens,” spirituality is “I see God beyond all lenses.”

Christianity is “form your ideas of God through our scriptures,” spirituality is “spend time with God and go beyond ideas and scriptures.”

Christianity is “believe in other people’s experience of God,” spirituality is “knowing God through my own experience with Him.”

Christianity says “you must interpret God through our doctrines, traditions, and beliefs or else you worship a false god,” spirituality doesn’t limit God to words on a piece of paper or an idea in the head.

Christianity says “your relationship with God is only legitimate within our religion,” spirituality says “your relationship with God is legitimate regardless of if you’re inside a religion or outside of one.”

Christianity says “you will go to hell if you do not obey and follow our doctrine,” spirituality says “the only hell there is, is the one you create within your own mind.”

Christianity controls you by using guilt, shame, and fear. Spirituality is freedom from guilt, shame, and fear.

Christianity will call you damned if you don’t convert, spirituality will affirm your perfection and oneness with all that is in every situation.

Christianity is based on clearly divided lines that separate them from other religions. Spirituality says, “let all come to the feast and enjoy what the Father has prepared for His Sons.”

Christianity equates salvation with thinking like the group. Spirituality knows in its inherent salvation, having experienced firsthand the oneness that unites all.

Entry 1,630 - January 15th 2023 There’s a difference between spiritualizing life by moralizing and immoralizing daily matters and living life in such a way that uproots preconceived notions of what is considered bad and good by the religious. One intends to force morality into life inorganically according to the groupthink of the religious group, and the other intends to live life more freely and harm-free according to universal principles of life. The latter does not mean you live life without morality but rather that you live beyond the cut-and-dry staples of what each religious group considers moral and immoral. The latter means you go to the essence of what true morality points to—whether someone’s actions cause harm or healing. It does not seek to go beyond that universal essence of morality. It does not puff up the essence with unnecessary doctrines and concepts that clutter and confuse the mind. It does not go beyond the essence to instill unnecessary fear, guilt, and shame. It ...

Entry 45 - Lesson on Compliments

7/28/19 The old self is attracted to negative thoughts and the new self, the real you, is attracted to positive thoughts. The old self embodies all the negative so it wants what it is, and the new self embodies all things positive, so it seeks to be reinforced with what it already is. That's why I believe it is so important to speak truth into people, to reinforce who they truly are because it awakens the real self and keeps them consciously focused on who they really are. There was an experiment done where they insulted a plant and then for another plant, they only spoke nice words, and the results were shocking. The words carried weight on the actual growth or decay of those plants. So if plants don't speak English, then what could possibly be the reason behind one plant living its best life due to the positive words spoken to it and the other plant withering and dying due to negative words being spoken to it in the same controlled situation? Everything, and I mean everyth...

Entry #21 - Lesson on Problems

-
I was contemplating how small I am compared to the universe, and then I considered how much smaller my problems are compared to the universe, to the mountains, and even to me. I considered what even is a problem? And I realized that problems are problems because they affect us in some way that we wish we weren't affected by. However, we have the potential to determine if something is actually a problem or if it can be seen in a new light.  We can focus on how something is negatively affecting us, or we can focus from another point of view and see the positive lessons we can learn it. Truly, a positive perception on this could definitely help retrain ourselves to think much more positively and contribute to a better overall way of thinking when they come our way. So I'm going to propose looking at "problems" in a new light. So I said a problem normally is considered a problem because it affects us in some way, shape or form; but if we choose to change our perception ...
