Entry 386 - The Story of the Devil

-

12/3/20

When you see the devil and hell similar to how you see Santa and the North Pole—a fictional character attached to a holiday—it actually becomes quite comical that you once believed in a devil. It’s like when you hit that age where you finally realize that Santa and his elves are just fiction and all those presents sent from Santa were really just from your parents.

Similarly, all those moments sent from the devil were really just your own moments sent from your higher self. The Jews don’t even believe in a devil. Instead, they believe there is an angel of God named Lucifer who works under and for God.

The concept of the devil was used by men in religion around 4,000 years ago to turn society from a matriarchal society to a patriarchal society by men, such as in the Medo-Persia areas within religions like Zoroastrianism, which Christianity is extremely similar to.

Women centuries ago had more power over men (which was obviously still an imbalance and not beneficial for society), and so religions formed around enlightened beings that became distorted in order to fit the agenda of whoever wanted something. In this case, men wanted power back, so they used the devil as a tool within religions like Zoroastrianism to get it back.

Christianity is extremely similar to what happened to Zoroastrianism—it’s actually shocking. I believe Jesus came with the desire to fix any distortions found within Jewish society, such as the patriarchal elements that created pain for women, alongside other intentions to help the Jewish people. 

After Jesus returned to the Father, men took Jesus, created a religion around Him, and then distorted His precepts to sustain the power of men over women and to keep people submitting to their oligarchy within their churches.

It’s a very common cyclical pattern of duality that happens. Women gain power for centuries, it becomes a little more equal, then men gain power for centuries, and around and around we go. Religion, in my opinion, is not the answer. It actually adds more questions by creating unnecessary abstractions to physical reality. Equality, balance, and loving everyone equally is the answer, which was Jesus’ message.

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 ...
