Thought Dump Part 35

 
October 22nd

Many Christians make up this statement that morality is not relative by using the phrases, old and new covenant, as a way to work around morality being relative to the culture, society and traditions of the people throughout the centuries. I understand that these were phrases used in the New Testament, be we also have to consider how we have no verifiable evidence that most of the books written in the New Testament were actually written by those supposedly said to have written them. 

We also have to consider how hundreds of years later, the church decided on what gospels and epistles to include in as the official canon of the established and then, wealthy church. We also have to consider how bishops and priests not only got in fist fights over which of these books would be permitted to be official canon, but they actually murdered those who didn't allow their preferred books.

That is always helpful to remember when one brings up the age old argument, "But they were directed by the Holy Spirit which ones were "infallible" and "true." So in your case, the guy who murdered a bishop over having his preferred epistles in the Bible was "in the right" because his epistles made it into the Bible? Interesting logic. Reminds me how some use God as an excuse to murder others and take their land because they were being "unrighteous" and God told them to do so.

And if you say, "No that wasn't okay for the Catholics to do so because it wasn't in the Bible," I would argue, "Is not the Bible a collection of a select peoples history with supposedly the Creator of the universe? Did not the Christian churches have a history with the Creator of the universe? Did they not also use the Old Testament commands given by supposedly the Creator to kill?


Just like the Jews had their prophets and mouthpieces for God, did not Christianity supposedly have their own who also commanded the people as a collective to kill? I highly recommend exploring these questions more in depth and seeing where they lead you. Who knows, you may be someone who uncovers an uncanny similarity that no one up until this point truly saw the depths of.

But going forward, many from the Catholic and fundamental branches of Christianity say Jesus did away with the Old Covenant rather than acknowledging the fact that blood sacrifices was a cultural phenomenon at that time, built on a particular belief system that became outdated once it was seen as no longer beneficial. Not all Jews at that time who followed God believed that they needed to slaughter animals to have a relationship or to be in the presence of God.

The Essene's were a perfect example of some. As stout vegetarians/vegans and those who went deep within to discover the mysteries, they were seen in direct contrast to the pharisees and zealots who believed blood sacrifices were essential in order to have a steady relationship with the Creator.

I was worried about losing my ability to accomplish things the more I become aware of my true nature, but actually the exact opposite happened. I accomplished probably more in two days than I did in two whole months.

Meditating, inquiring, self-realization and waking up have all enhanced my present awareness and concentration almost one hundred fold. Why was I so afraid? If this is losing the grip the ego has over me, why was I so afraid of the freedom?

At an elementary root of being, relationship still implies separation because it still splits the two into one.

There's some Christian's Instagram post about how those who know the Bible shouldn't be shocked about the state the world is in and I would say, I'm not shocked by the amount of paranoia over science, the government, and of the world because of how people interpret the Bible.

What is going to happen to the Christian narrative that only God can create sentient entities when we develop sentient robots? How does that fit into their narrative? The Christians who have been for regressive laws being signed into office that deny some equal rights will definitely be the first to deny rights to and oppress robots once they become sentient as we are.

The hunger for oppression will continue to be a lust in the dogmatically inclined heart until they take the time to lay their weapons down. Until they take that time to introspectively change their morality to truly be one that reflects love and acceptance, they will continue to use their Bibles as a weapon for continued oppression, regardless of if it's a sentient human or a sentient robot (A robot that gains self-awareness).

One of my actual goals is to defeat death. In other words, my goal is to overcome the default physical experience of death.

Dying in the sense where your spirit is dejected from your body is the majority route. The smaller route is manually leaving your body right before dying or dejection. The even smaller route is transmuting your body to a faster frequency (shorter wavelengths) so that you never have to die.

What I mean by that is to bypass the separation of the spirit from the body and rather, to have my body vibrating at such a fast frequency that I can transform all of it at will, to another form without dejecting from it. I know it might sound crazy to most who believe that one experience of death must be experienced by all, but we're also floating on a huge rock in the middle of a galaxy and no one knows where we truly came from or where we're going to.

So with that in consideration, does it really sound that far out there that I want to increase the frequency of that which my body vibrates at to overcome the limits of a slower frequency that eventually results in the death of the body and dejection of the spirit?

Why would I need boundaries when I’m boundless by essence? Unless, I wanted to know myself through being supposedly trapped in them and also eventually expanding beyond them. Unless I wanted to experience the contrast that boundaries afford myself to experience.

Tip: when a transphobically inclined person due to ignorance tries to ask questions for a further reason to judge and condemn you, don't answer. Then that'll force them to do the much needed research. Then by doing their research, it could lead them to a scientific article helping them understand the biological evidence of gender incongruence.

And if you're even luckier, it will help them realize gender incongruence is just as valid of a diagnosis than any other medically recognized diagnosis. And if you're even luckier, they will realize their judgement was very much due to ignorance, not from knowledge. Then from that point on, hopefully they will choose a better response to that which they do not yet understand.

The problem or red flag with so many fundamental Christians is that their idea of love is so far skewed from the actual definition of what it means to give unconditional love that it isn’t even the same thing anymore. I genuinely think Jesus would feel ashamed of what they're doing in his name. There’s a saying out there that goes like this: “There’s no hate like Christian love” and I'm pretty sure that was not Jesus' intention of how his followers would be perceived by others.

Unfortunately a majority of fundamental Christians are trained by their version of Christianity to believe judgement is truly showing love to those who don’t believe exactly as they do. Then the good news of Jesus is somehow mutated into the horrible news that you were on default going to hell and you didn’t even know about it until I told you, and now you need to do as I say, believe as I do, and follow our ways, or else you'll burn forever.

They are so convinced that judgement is an act of love that they cannot understand why non-Christians and even Christians are tired and done with these types of fundamental Christians. There’s a reason why these particular denominations are losing followers by the day. There's a reason why people are waking up to the illogical doctrines and dogmas of fundamental branches of Christianity. There’s a reason why people are turning away from oppressive denominations bent on using fear rather than love to convert and gain followers and it's so obvious that at times we all want to scream the obvious, "You're doing the opposite of drawing people nearer to Jesus."

They take Jesus’ message of oneness and inclusion and somehow mutate his words and parables into exclusion and separation. Jesus said the shepherd comes to save the one lost sheep and instead of translating that as, "See, God does save everyone." They translate that to “Only Jesus saves those who believe in him.” They create separation anywhere they can because that is how they’ve been trained by their denomination. A majority of Jews have no fear in eternal hell because they were never taught that was a thing. And those that were, oftentimes can find that location and the sect of Judaism that contributed to that minority view of the afterlife.

But even if that were the case, Jews have never been as narrow-minded and dogmatic as Fundamental Christians over Olam Haba (The world to come) and salvation in particular. When these Fundamental Christians proclaimed loudly that all are by default going to hell for eternity, the Orthodox Jews held the majority belief that you don't even need to become a Jew to be saved, you just had to follow the 7 Noahide laws and you were good.

And even if you didn't, the place of soul washing was never eternal, but temporary and meant to prepare you to be in the presence of a holy Creator. The Jews fortunately believed God was unconditionally merciful, unlike those who purport God is only conditionally merciful since his mercy is based within a certain time frame, hence making it 'conditional' mercy.

These fundamental Christians say if you don’t repent within the time frame of your life on earth, God’s mercy does not extend to you after that. The leaders of these fundamental churches try to persuade you into believing God’s mercy is conditional because if they can do that, they have more power over you. Then you DO have something to be afraid of because the time is ticking. To them, linear time is not an illusion (even though Einstein proved scientifically that it was).

What if you die in your sins? What if you don’t say the altar call prayer just right? What if you still haven’t asked for your sins to be forgiven? It’s great fertile ground for reasons as to why you need to return to the church because they make hell always just around your corner and forever burning somewhere in the distance. All the time, there it is… If it won’t engulf you now, it will engulf everyone you know who doesn’t believe how you believe and that is one hell of a toxic belief.

As I’m filling out my URTA Audition application, I feel very much aligned with my purpose again. It feels like I almost woke up for a second time to my purpose in this incarnation to be a professional working actor.

Is there a difference between telling it as it is, for what it is versus judging it for what you think it is based off of your limited perception?

Is there a way to explain something without judgement? If so what would that look like versus judging something according to one’s perception?

Example: There were strong winds today vs The wind was horrible. It was blowing me around and I was freezing to death!

Example: This woman accused us of stealing her stuff when we did not vs This crazy woman was mentally insane and accused us of stealing when we didn’t.

Example: I had to take a computer science exam and I did not score well vs They gave us a horrible exam and all of us failed and it's because the teacher hates our guts.

Just like many in spirituality demonize the ego, many within spirituality also demonize the idea of control.

They conjecture if we have freedom or not, and our idea of freedom as less rather than whole. It’s another form of fragmentation that is very subtle and almost hard to notice if you aren’t looking out for it.

There is nothing bad about control and there is nothing bad about surrendering control. I think in life in all ways, we are all seeking a balance. A balance between up and down, left and right, control and surrender, in politics, in economics, and so forth.
