Thought Dump Part 24 - Christianity Thinks For You / Questioning Religion / Our Egos Like Limits / Unconditional Love is Most Rational

 
Three problems with Christianity

1. A majority of Christianity is taught to think for you.

2. Christianity can help it make it hard for you to see the differences between a healthy relationship versus an unhealthy, codependent and emotionally abusive relationship because many denominations of Christianity utilize the latter in order to keep you coming back.

3. They don’t show you the facts or the unbiased version of history. They only show you what they think will benefit the spread of their religion, even if it's detrimental to your own life.

One of the primary reasons I have seen why people are afraid to question their religion, afraid to walk beyond the boundaries it imposes, is because they haven’t done enough research on their religion in order for it to lose it’s ability to hold someone according to irrational beliefs that cannot be validated. Or if they allowed their peasants, I mean loyal followers, to study about their religion, it was from a bias point of view that was authorized for study within a seminary or church setting.

They primarily only looked at the history, the research, the apologetics that supported its existence as valid and from God and if they ever did bring up a view not authorized by the church, it was quickly “rebuttled” in order to help the sheep keep the faith. The leaders themselves are too afraid to look at all perspectives. They are too scared to consider the connections and associations to other religions. They are too afraid to research the events in the Bible to see if we had any actual viable evidence that they happened. They are too afraid to see if any of the passages were contradictory or irrational from the basis of science.

They are too scared to look into the epistemology and understanding of words and how as centuries change, the meanings of words oftentimes do change quite extraordinarily. (In barely over 100 years the word ‘gay’ went from meaning ‘happy’ to someone who likes the same sex. Just imagine how much the meaning of ‘salvation’ and it’s connotation has changed in the same of thousands of years!) But see, so many Christians are scared when they don’t have to be. Doing research on one’s own religion from all points of view should be liberating! It should feel freeing! The more you know about what you subject and submit to, the better you will be able to see if it’s truly worth your precious time, especially if the main reason is because you are motivated by a fearful doom of being thrown into hell for eternity.

The more you learn about one’s religion from all points of view, from all areas of study, the more you realize that it was ridiculous to allow a system of thought to bend you to submission through fear. That fear is the glue they use to keep you a servant of that organized religion. Fear is the glue they use to convince you that what you’re doing is spreading the gospel rather than colonizing groups by giving them a new ideology and way of life that is foreign to them. Fear is the glue that religion’s use to make you obedient to them in the name of God.

If they can convince you that your obedience to the church is your obedience to God, then they have you wrapped around their little finger, until you choose to do the research. So please, for your own sake, do the research! Look into the infallibility arguments, the fallibility arguments, the early church history, the doctrines of the devil and eternal hell and where they first came from (hint it wasn’t from the Orthodox Jews). Look into comparative mythology, Serabis Christus, other connections to other religions. Look into the crusades, colonization in the name of God, and once again the change of doctrine and the change of words and their meanings as thousands of years went by. Don’t stop until you have a balanced view that is fair and neutral. Then see if fear has the ability to keep you glued any longer to a system of thought you have done your research on.

Associations reveal the connections people deny in order to create superiority over other belief systems.

Instead of demons from Christianity, it’s negatively oriented aliens in spirituality. Instead of angels in Christianity that assist us here on earth, it can still be angels as well as spirit guides in spirituality. Instead of praying in Christianity, it’s manifesting in spirituality. Instead of a devil outside of you in Christianity, it’s the devil within each of us in spirituality. Instead of “I got a message from God” in Christianity, it is oftentimes “I got a message from Source or this positively oriented entity” in spirituality.

Instead of holy objects such as the Bible and holy places like the church, it’s holy objects like crystals and saging the house to cleanse the energy to preserve its holiness. They both have beliefs about love and light and they both have beliefs sourced in fear, guilt and shame. Same meaning, different words. Religion and spirituality are two sides of the same coin. At the end of the day, a belief system in the invisible is still a belief system in the invisible. They are expansive or as exclusive as we choose for them to to be because we are the ones who breathe life and give meaning to our preferred earth created belief systems.

If religion needs boundaries to exist apart from other religions and you choose to limit yourself to be confined within those boundaries, you are choosing a life with more limitations which is neither good nor bad, simply an experience you wish to experience until you no longer wish to experience it.

--

We like limits. Even when we say we don’t we like them. Beliefs give us something to hope into. Beliefs give us something to have faith in. They confine this vast infinite reality into something that we can conceptualize with our brains in this present moment and we think that gives us safety. We feel like it gives us comfort. However in actuality there’s more safety and comfort in letting go; in surrendering. Non-attachment to whatever lies ahead. Surrendering to the openness, the vastness, the infinity that we are all on. It’s not to say that there isn’t anything after this life, but merely not limiting life after death to one expectation of beliefs created from our earthly perspective.

Instead of being glued or attached or expecting one streamline, one belief system of what can happen, we are rather open to an infinite amount of possibilities; just like at any moment we are open to an infinite amount of possibilities. Truly surrendering to the present moment is the sweetest, most comforting state to be in because then your mind isn’t glued on the future that has been endowed with expectations, but rather you are focused more fully on the present moment, on what you’re currently creating. You are enveloped in the sweet spot of the Now Moment. Fully here, fully aware. No where else you’d rather be, because in this moment, you simply are.

I think that there are levels of identification. For example, I can put layers of identification about who I think you are, but then there’s layers of identification about ourselves that are not true that come from our own perception.

--

I was pondering the whole idea of identification and I feel like beyond the realm of duality, “identification” is neither good nor bad, it’s merely an experience we willingly enter into at varying levels of intensity. Just like there’s varying ages of life we experience, I feel like there’s varying levels of identification we play in. Maybe when we were 5 years old we loved to play with toy cars or barbies, but now as adults we prefer to play cards against humanity.

Similarly maybe there’s some people who want to experience what it’s likely completely 100% identified and confined within one religion and that’s neither good nor bad, just something they are currently exploring. But then eventually they grow tired of it and they want to find their own identity apart from one religion, so they break free from identifying their Self with a belief system called Christianity, and then maybe they want to explore a new belief system like Islam and they explore that.

Or they find New Age and they explore that… Until eventually they notice they don’t want to identify with this earth based belief system that is relative to our perception while here and will cease to exist. That has defined borders of separation with doctrines of fear, guilt shame, so they decide on some other way to play with their identification or they start journeying inwards.

The goal is to neither be triggered nor traumatized by any part of a temporary experience. To know that we transcend all aspects of every experience we play in.

When looking at life, you can start to see it from the vantage point of everything can be in some way, a reflection of myself. This helps us learn lessons a lot faster because then we can see why we were given certain challenges. It wasn't meant to hurt us, but to help us raise our consciousness, awareness, and understanding of ourselves and others.

--

According to someone's current state of consciousness, someone will interpret the words in the Bible according to their current state of consciousness, just like people will interpret and understand daily situation according to their current level and state of consciousness. It’s the same thing with anything. They read anything they take and they will interpret it with their current status and level of consciousness.

The word "gay" used to mean “joy” as early as the 12th century but then around the 1950s, the meaning expanded to mean “frivolous” and eventually it was used to refer to “homosexuals”, depending on the cultural context and person using it in a particular sentence.

If the word “gay” morphed that dramatically in 820 years…. imagine how much the meaning and cultural context of the word “salvation” changed from Judaism to Christianity up until now.

Hint: Judaism was extremely inclusive in regards to salvation.

1. A majority of Jews don’t believe in an eternal hell
2. All Jews believe people can be saved without converting to Judaism, just as long as they follow the 7 Noachide Laws.

Christianity on the other hand, became extremely exclusive in regards to how they define salvation.

1. A majority of Christians DO believe in an eternal hell.
2. A majority of Christians do believe you need to convert to Christianity to be saved from eternal hell.

The changes are big and obvious.

Jesus not only helped reform but was revolutionary within Judaism. However I have not come to reform Christianity. I came here to be a harmonizer. Not to reform a religion from the inside out, but to help people expand beyond the limits of their respective religion such as Christianity.

So if quanta particles can pop anywhere in the world... If attention is brought to it, then it would make sense that if us as consciousness focused our attention on becoming a savant or an instantaneous genius in some area of life, then we could have those quanta or information pop into our brain because quanta can pop into our material existence anywhere.

You say God is better than other gods because he’s not a baby killer but then we show you verses where your God murders babies.

You say well God's ways are higher than our ways but the nations with their respective gods that murder babies say the same thing about their God.

How is your God better when he does the same thing as other gods with the same excuse?

You say well he’s the Creator and the other nations say there God is the true creator.

Do you not see? Both nations are either worshiping the same baby killer God who enforces laws that he doesn’t follow unless he feels like it or you both don’t worship the true balanced, equal, unconditionally loving Creator.

I hear all the time that falling in love is a irrational. However, I would make the argument that falling into unconditional love is the most rational and amazing thing anyone can do. I think people oftentimes get confused with lustful, possessive, codependent love with unconditional love. So yes, the conditional love is irrational because people are more than the conditions we limit them within. But unconditional love is the most rational, sane, and powerful thing you can ever do because it is freedom.

With the statistic of over 51% of Trans people in the US considering suicide for being Trans, maybe denying us healthcare in certain states and
considering our identity as illegitimate because of your religious beliefs should be reconsidered.

Unless these people prefer dead people in the name of their religion, their arguments against medically and scientifically documented cases of gender incongruence should be reconsidered in the light of science, not based on a religion with thousands of contradicting/competing interpretations on Trans people let alone, every theological doctrine found in Scripture.

Being in a state of neutrality doesn’t mean you don’t try to do what is best for most of mankind, it means you recognize that their are good and bad people on both sides, and instead of reinforcing the walls of separation between the two groups we create, you attempt to dissolve the boundaries by helping people see there are many people on both sides who truly want what is best for most people.

The people on one side who are doing more of the oppression don’t need you to fight them, but they desperately need your love. The people being oppressed need the oppressors to stop creating separations that are irrational and cause more people pain. A bridge of empathy needs to be built, and we need people who can bridge the gap. People who can show both are worthy of love. Both are worthy to be seen as legitimate and equal, even if their religion, politics, or so forth says otherwise. The goal is to harmonize, not add to the polarization which strengthens man-made separation.

It’s the attempt to re-humanize and un-demonize the opposing party and rather create both sides as wall-less and open the groups of communities up to healthy ways to heal. Not to direct conflict against each other, but uniquely express different ways to solve similar problems for themselves and the greater good. If we can learn and grow together and not de-moralize one group as “bad” while another is “good”, we can accomplish so much more by helping each other, rather than putting each other down.

This goes for religions, politics, traditions, cultures and so much more. A state of neutrality is a position of harmonization. You seek to harmonize both by re-humanizing them in the eyes of the opposing party until they realize deep down, we are all on the same team. We all just want to be loved and to love and anything that deters from that is a cry for help. Any act of violence against another is a cry to be loved. Any separation and discrimination on the basis of skin color, sexuality, gender expression and so forth is a cry for the person to be healed with someone’s love so they stop using separation as a reason to project their unhealed trauma. These people who act in unloving ways or support doctrines and beliefs, that are unloving and exclusive, are exposing how deep down, they don’t love themselves. Love in neutrality is the answer to a world that moralizes polarities in politics, religions, cultures, countries and more.

I like to wear my boxers where money is being burned because it makes me think of a powerful lesson….

Until you are in a place where you can burn money and not feel scared, then you still are in a state of mind that attracts lack. You will still be dependent on money to keep you safe. You will still depend on money to pay your debt. You will still depend on money to give you happiness and the worst part about being in this mindset is that you will feel like you will never have enough money, so you will keep striving after it as if it is your everything when in reality, it’s just green paper we create value out of.

See when someone is in a position where he doesn’t serve money, but money serves him, he doesn’t allow a surplus or lack of money scare him. He could have $20 in his bank or $10 million. The trick of life is it is not about how much money one makes him, it is one’s state of mind about money itself. If someone has a state of mind that is sourced in abundance that person, regardless of their paycheck, will attract abundance. The faith in things unseen is the realization that we stand at the edge of an infinite amount of possibilities every time we enter into the sacred awareness of the present moment.

When we give this moment right now our full attention, we realize nothing can stop us from living an abundant life besides ourselves. Anything outside which seems like it can is merely an archetype of something within us which has not yet been healed. The world is oftentimes a beautiful mirror either reflecting what needs to be healed or what is healed. Not a foe, but a beautiful doe here to help and to love.
