Entry 455 - Jesus Always Taught True Oneness

4/9/21

Some Christians don’t believe in free will, while others do.

Believing is tied to some future choice, but even the future is now. The only true reality we have is right now. Any idea projected into the future is an illusion because, again, all we truly have is now. To believe that you must believe in something linearly in the future or from the past, and that your salvation is dependent on a belief, is to believe that linear time is eternal. That would mean duality is eternal, and we’re all screwed. That would mean Satan was always Satan, and the battle will never end because it never began—it always was.

Belief is tied up in an idea. Ideas come and go. They have a beginning and an end, just like your body has a beginning and an end. To believe that an idea about something can save you, such as who God is or isn’t, is to identify not only your life with an idea that is temporary and doesn’t truly exist but to tie your eternal existence to a temporal idea that will cease to exist. Logically, that doesn’t make sense.

When Jesus said, “Believe in me, and you shall live,” you have to understand he was trying to use the language, interpretations, and ideas of that time to convey the higher truths he was trying to show them. Jesus was trying to bring the Jews beyond religion, not back into it. Jesus was trying to move people beyond a realm of limitations, not back into them. He constantly challenged religion rather than submitting to it. Jesus never said we weren’t like him; rather, he said we were like him multiple times.

When people accused Jesus of claiming to be God, Jesus pointed back to their scripture that said, “Ye are gods.” Jesus never said he was better than them; he even said, “The works I do, you will do even greater.” Jesus demonstrated true humility, that all were like him, and he was like them. How? Because we are all one with the Creator. 


To say one is better than the other or closer to the Creator when all is really one would make no sense. That’s like saying ice cubes are better than melted ice because of the form they take. They are still both water! Just because one form is Jesus and the other form is Bob doesn’t mean one form is better than the other. They are still both one with God! If you can accept it: Oneness creates no distinction between one form or another; in their very essence, they are God.
 

Entry 456 - Poker Game Called Life

4/9/21

Beliefs are like cards in a poker game, and the poker game is like Life, while you are the person playing the game. Beliefs are temporary; they could potentially help you get money, but they don’t guarantee any value. However, they can get you value if you believe they can. The true person who determines whether you experience life or death is the person behind the cards, who is manipulating the game in order to win (you). The cards are only objects you endow with meaning to make the game more interesting.

People who are playing poker don’t want your cards (your beliefs); they want your chips (money, attention, time). Why would I tell you what my beliefs are when they’re relatively useless in the grand scheme for you? If I told you right away, it would be beneficial for you at the moment because then you could try to play a better hand than me, beliefs versus beliefs, and we would be playing a game.

I want to get out of the game and show you from my vantage point of reality that life is more than temporary beliefs. You don’t need them in order to function or live, nor do you need to be worried about them because, in the end, just like cards, they will be replaced however many times you want. Beliefs constantly change based on your perspective. To believe that salvation is based on "believing correctly" is to limit yourself based on a single perspective. Expand your perspective to see beyond beliefs, and then tell me what happens. What are you beyond your current system of beliefs? What happens to you when you release the bonds of limitations brought forth by certain beliefs? What does it feel like?

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 ...
