Journal Discourse Part 47

 January 10th 2022

I believe Jesus knew that the idea of God, Being, Creator, The I Am, or whatever you want to call it, stretched beyond the feeble boundaries of Judaism. However, I also believe Jesus was very much aware of his mission to reach as many Jews as possible. That is why I believe he used the language and words pertinent and largely known within Judaism to be able to reach them and then try his best to take them beyond any limits found within religion.

So by me saying, “Jesus had to use what they were used to or capable of grasping” I quite literally mean that. Our brains can process a certain amount of bits per second, but if you are inclined to see Judaism as true and anything else as less true or not true, your brain will try very hard for you to discard and to forget that information altogether because your brain follows in your suit and deems it as unimportant.

Think of it in this way: Would it make sense that Jesus would try to talk to the Jews outside of what they knew, outside of their religious words that hold significant meaning in their lives, and then bring them to a place even farther outside of the bubble of reality that they believe in to be true? Doesn’t seem like that is what he would try to do.

Before Abraham made his blood covenant in the wilderness, the Jewish people were far from monotheistic. Many worshiped Asherah, a female deity, alongside the Creator and other deities. But when Judaism took off due to Abraham's blood covenant with the entity claiming to be the Creator, the worship had to be to “The Father only.” But how do you know who you're worshiping if you cannot see it? There are many gods who claim to be "the Father" or "the Creator", so what marks the spot for the correct God?

After Abraham's blood contract with this supposed Creator, to the Jews, the Creator was seen in the male form, changing the trajectory of societies for centuries. Before when there were largely female deities alongside male deities and more matriarchal societies to counterbalance patriarchal societies, it was more accepted to see God in both female and male ways. Eventually however, archeology hints on how the matriarchal societies went almost extinct, as did the popularity of the worship of female gods.

Therefore with the popularity of a deeply, dominant patriarchal society found within Judaism, that was why Jesus most likely had to refer to God with male pronouns even though he most likely knew that God was beyond gender.

If Jesus had referred to God with female pronouns, there would probably be a slim chance that he would have been able to reach as many people as he did, or have been able to teach in all the synagogues that he taught in. If Jesus was actually as balanced as he was, as enlightened as he was, then I personally believe he would know that God/Source/Creator cannot be limited by one gender.

Even when he did use the language that they were familiar with, many still accused him of straying so far as to being demon possessed, which shows you how much of a tough crowd he was ministering to. Even though he was out there freeing people from “demon possession”, they saw him as demon possessed for being so far out there with his own beliefs.

When Jesus spoke on oneness, many pharisees and sadducees interpreted his words in lieu of division. When Jesus used their terminology to explain connections, they interpreted Jesus as saying he was closer to God. People interpret largely from the place that they know, and if they are ignorant, then they weren’t giving Jesus a lot to work from. And I’m not talking about ignorance in knowing their scripture, but ignorance in knowing themselves.

Because if they truly knew themselves, they would know God. That’s what Jesus was trying to explain. He was constantly trying to draw parallels between their scripture and his words to show that he was not trying to destroy Judaism, but expand the people within it to new heights of perception. New levels of love. New moments of freshness and vigor.

Be so open that no one can find the fear in your beliefs
Be so free that no one can group you into a closed off mentality
The journey of remembering what we forgot
The biggest mystery of the universe is ‘I Am’
If you don’t believe so, just ask yourself one question:
“Who am I?” Then enjoy where it takes you. 🌌

When will you stop answering that question or when did you even begin asking it?
Perhaps the more you ponder the question, the more you realize the depth of those three words.
If you are, then what are you not?
If you always existed, then how could you have been created?
If you create your life, then what do you not create?
Is there truly such thing as a closed system when energy is all there is?
Enjoy exploring.

Some people call them prophets.
Others call them psychics.
Scientists call them aware
Regardless of your label, there are people who seem to be able to see things beyond the present moment.
I am one of many who have realized that capability.
And once I see, I’m never the same.
Some things I see are events I feel grateful to have escaped.
Just like when the prophets would tell the people their future would be bleak unless they changed their ways.
Other things I see have in themselves, changed me for life.
Questions I’ve been asking for years are finally realized and I’ll never be the same.
These moments of “remembering” always represent big milestones in my life.
I regard them as sacred as giving birth, marriage ceremonies, or the death of a loved one.
I just had another milestone moment that will forever change my life to a question I didn’t even know I had until I started meditating.
Sometimes answers come in the form of pictures.
Other times it comes as instant knowing.
Other times they come through experience.
But regardless, I say all this for encouragement because anyone can truly experience this.
Anyone can go within and escape the illusion of linear time.
Anyone can explore the depths of their limitless being.
It merely requires a willing heart to do so.
Behold, the ability to explore beyond boundaries is accessible right now in this present moment.
You don’t need a building to get you there.
You don’t need a $500 course.
You don’t even need that pastor or his book.
All that you are is enough.
Enjoy the ride.

Within our perceived linear time frame and spatial framework, everything is relative to everything in some respect. You are relative to space and time.

Where you are is somewhere that can be plotted in a longitude and latitude with a time stamp. The events that happened are relative to space and time.Events on earth happen at a certain place at a certain time

Example: The sack of Constantinople happened at a certain place at a certain time in history.

Morality is relative to space and time. With the Jews, it was considered morally upright to sell their daughters to men for money. In history, major religions from Judaism to Paganism considered blood sacrifices as holy and necessary in order to win wars and find favor in the sight of their respective gods.

History is relative to space and time. Predominant and minority beliefs were relative to space and time. Even that which was considered “facts” were relative to space and time. Your words are relative to space and time and the context and meaning those words were spoken.

My life is my Bible
My church is the Earth
The Kingdom of God is within
Only the kid can enter
Because the kid never left

So many people point fingers and say, "Look big pharma is making billions off of our sickness so they're bad!" I would like to say a few things about that. First off, if we were to use that “belief”, then technically everything capitalizes off of our sickness or incompleteness in who we are.

The clothing industry capitalizes off of new fashion trends and if we don’t fit them then we feel less or incomplete. The fast food industry capitalizes off of our weakness of not being able to find time to cook and so it’s easier to just get a burger. Any person selling anything capitalizes off of us. The first thing though is that they have to convince you that you need their product, regardless of what it is, but that’s life on earth right now.

We’ve entered a place where money is essential to survive. Money that wouldn’t hold any inherent value until we collectively decided it would. And even that perceived value fluctuates with other peoples perceived value of money from their other countries! Our idea of what we need, how much it is worth, is volatile and continually fluctuates.

Instead of focusing on all the negatives that we collectively entered into, which I believe was with free will because I believe in total free will, how about we focus on how we would like to collectively change it to better reflect a healthier society?

For example, medicine has already moved into the field of preventive medicine which now encourages people to get vaccinated and have a strong immunity rather than the medical fields benefitting and getting paid solely from peoples' sicknesses. This should be seen as a serious positive win because medicine is making money off of helping our immunity before we get sick, not after. Why are we complaining so much that they are making money off of us as if not every single industry or corporation medicine or not, are all trying to make money off of us?

That’s life! Get over it! If you truly have complete free will, then you decided to be here, so stop complaining about it and start visualizing the best future you want to become a part of. Appreciate where we are at and move from there. No one wants to be around a debbie downer. They drain your energy and the negativity is only manageable until you break free from that debilitating mindset. Don’t be a Debbie downer. Be a Happy Holly.

I wonder how mainstream Christians will change their doctrines when someone asks them “Why is their evil in the world?” And they realize in the Bible it says there is evil because of God.

It will most definitely shatter some concepts. There is a nice, pretty divide in Christianity where the devil is supposed to be responsible for the evil and God is supposed to be responsible for the good, almost exactly the same as Zoroastrianism, a religion that predates Judaism.

But then, there’s that one verse in the Old Testament of the Bible that doesn’t mesh well with that doctrine from Christianity and it’s this one:

“I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.” Isaiah 45:7

Of course it will be explained away and justified, as do all major religions justify the blood sacrifices of animals, the genocide of innocent babies, and other crude acts justified in God’s name. But now you know. The doctrine of mainstream Christianity doesn’t really symbiotically work with the doctrine in Judaism.

In my personal experience, mainstream Christianity fueled the inner critic dialogue through the “I’m a sinner on my way by default to hell.”

Even when you repent and give your life to Christ, you are still expected to see yourself as a sinner in need of Jesus constantly. And if you don’t spend enough time with him, even though you cannot trust yourself while you're alone because you've been taught the you are by default evil, that will lead to bad behavior. That state of mind is most definitely toxic and I'm glad I rid myself of it's poison.

Jesus came to show you your inherent oneness and power, not to strip it away from you nor to make you codependent on him for it. If that were the case, then that would have been an extremely narcissistic thing for Jesus to have done. To have gone all the way to Earth just to make people codependent on him in order to be saved... Super big red flag. But oftentimes people who can't identify narcisstic tendencies within themselves also cannot identify it within religious ideologies and doctrines.

Even the Christians who say, "Well he's God and he wants a relationship with you." I would say yeah, there is nothing wrong with that. But the belief where codependency is written in and you are expected to be seen as nothing, causes deep problems within the pysche because you are essentially agreeing that you will never be good enough for God.

Imagine constantly viewing yourself as less, as inherently evil and never good enough so you need to be codependent on Jesus to give you value and to make you worth saving. There's a difference between having a healthy relationship with Jesus and a codependent relationship with Jesus foundationally sourced in fear. The latter does not sound like Jesus' teachings, but it 100% does sound like mainstream Christianity's.

We oftentimes analyze things to understand things or we analyze things to help others understand our position.

Analysis can be used as a tool to grow as a person is one thing. But the difficult part is when that analysis turns into judgement.

For example, Christians who believe LGBTQ are sinning believe that through their judgement they are helping them see that their behavior is harmful (even though they have no evidence that it is harmful).

Then from the other end, the LGBTQ Christians who are judging the fundamental mainstream Christians for saying they are sinning for being LGBTQ are trying to help them see why applying morality to sexual orientation not only doesn’t make sense, but is harmful.

Most often than not, nothing gets accomplished when one side judges the other. We need to discover new ways to educate, inform, and unify or else we will continue to pick a side and throw our pickles of dissent.

If someone can’t consider that your peace is just as important as theirs, then it’s their problem, not yours. You’re not a bad person for being true to who you are.

Trying to mold yourself into fitting other people’s expectations of what they think you should look like might make them happy, but it’s not worth losing your own happiness and authenticity. Trust your gut. Be yourself.

When people try to use the Bible as a biology book, then I get it’s a desperate attempt to explain things they don’t understand using something that gives them comfort. Similar to how when someone is going through a tough time they like to cry and eat a tub of ice cream.

They would get so much more out of biology if they actually cracked open a real biology book, or even better, got a degree in the subject.

Reproduction in the animal kingdom has never been just binary. Sex in the animal kingdom has never been just heterosexual. In fact, some of the first life forms were androgynous and intersex.

Why would the Creator make it a sin with the humans but not with every other life form that inhabits the Earth? Even from a religious perspective that isn't fair and it does not make sense. If God is perfect, he wouldn't be unfair. If God is perfect, he wouldn't make laws that contradict himself.

100 days in Europe felt like 100 years. Each day I was alone it went by so slowly, each week even slower, and each month even slower.

Maybe that’s why I looked forward to the friends I made, because it created some foundation in space and time.

I know that sounds weird, but it is because it was. I felt ageless but then human. I felt invisible but then visible. If I wanted to disappear on the streets, I could. I would watch and notice that rarely anyone paid attention to me on the streets.

I also know if I wanted to, I could’ve done something outrageous and no one would know who I was, but fortunately now I don’t like to make people feel uncomfortable so I didn’t.

Perhaps that’s what it feels like to die and exist between levels of reality. There’s a readjustment I needed to go through when I came back home. I’ll have to write up a whole blog on it. All I know is that I’m not the same man as I was after embarking on that journey to Europe alone.

The only thing I can relate it to how I felt after travelling to Europe is the fact that if one were to stand on the edge of a black hole for 1 minute, around 700 years would have passed on Earth because of the differences in the strength of the gravitational fields native to the black hole and to the earth.

--

Maybe traveling alone helped me to experience in a new way that we are al-one… Al-One as in All One.

We’ve been taught in Christianity to hate demons and the devil because in many denominations they are seen as nonredeemable, messed up beyond repair, no option for salvation.

But was Jesus’ message not completely radical? Did he not tell us to “love our enemies”? Would that not include all the demons and the devil that many so ardently believe into?

I’m not just talking about the ones we’ve projected to see outside of us, but the trauma within that we label as demons. The inner suffering we label “temptation” which is really just a resistance to love that we label as the devil.

All ideas of what is a “sin” can be narrowed down to help or harm. Or even more so, it can be narrowed down to love or fear. Then what is love without forgiveness? Or what is fear without suffering?

So how could it be a sin to love and forgive our inner demons? Or do you think fear and hate will integrate and heal you?

What would happen if we practiced what Jesus practiced: radical love?

“Birjus Chip will throw all into hell by default for not being a bird unless they say the bird prayer and repent for not being a bird” - bird Bible 33:3

Amusingly, this type of doctrine is closer to what fundamental Christians believe than what Jesus and the other Jews believed in.

Why does it seem so much more ridiculous when I switched out “Jesus” with “bird”? Perhaps because we've been conditioned through religion to take serious some words over others even though the strange idea behind them both are the same.

Easter egg hunt: Can you find what year in history this doctrine went from being the minority belief on salvation to the majority belief?
