The soul is on the path of God-realization, re-membering who and what we are in the school of living on earth. Life
has a way of showing us first-hand what are the important things. Things will either ring true for us, or we find inevitable voids in the self-delusion of walking through life to someone else’s drummer.
Dogmas, rituals and rules pontificated by various heirarchies do not find a home in the heart of earnest seekers of Truth. Jesus was crucified for the humanly understood crime of blasphemy, because heirarchies could not comprehend that the Christ could live WITHIN HIM. Still today, the heirarchies, clinging with their death-grip of particular doctrines of subserviance, mandated obedience, and obeisance, instist that the dead doctrines and empty promises they promote remain void of the same Truth, that the same Christ also dwells WITHIN You and Me. It is not outside of us.
Once you begin to allow yourself to read and discover what was unceremoniously stripped out of sacred scriptures and church cannons, the puzzle pieces of life, of cause and effect, why things in your life have turned out the way they have, suddenly you see the creation of a spectacular mosaic, made by your own decisions.
Do you give yourself permission to read what someone else has censored from you?
This is how religious domination over your right to think, your right to live your own life, and your right to determine your own destiny gets usurped. This is done by the misuse of your free will. No one is ever able to take your free will away from you. This happens when you freely give away your free will. No matter what has happened to you, in every single circumstance, even in dire situations, it is always your choice to stand up for yourself or not to stand up for yourself, when you give away your personal freedom, your God-given free will. You do not get free will from your parents, your government, nor your belief system. Free will came along with you as a result of your being born. It is part of the spark that keeps you alive, your true essence, your human nature, and part of your spirit/soul.
Once we re-member ourselves back to God, realizing that Christ is inside of us, we can move mountains. This can be a slow process when we argue with ourselves or with our spiritual leaders about the things that are “wrong” with our religions, and how the religions need to progress with the times, or update their statutes. But once we re-member that Christ, as told to us by Jesus, is WITHIN US, it becomes a very fast process, in the blink of an eye.
Reincarnation is one of the things Jesus taught. Many of today’s heirarchies do not want you to know that, because they will lose their grip on your mind. Keep in mind this is YOUR mind. You will keep making numerous appearances on earth until you finally understand this.
The religious euphoria in some circles is not the way to decipher the Christ WITHIN YOU. That is deception and diversion. Read the Truth of Jesus, who he REALY is, not the candy-coated version pontificated by those who need to dress in costumes as signs of importance, or those fueling the flames of fear.
Did you know where Jesus went and what he studied in those supposedly missing eighteen years of his life, from his ages 12-30?
Why not?
Don’t you want to know what Jesus did and said in the time of his life covering more years than the fifteen years written about in current bibles?
There is a reason heirarchies do not want you to know about those eighteen years of the life of Jesus. Human men, not Jesus, decided at the Council of Laodicea, 400 years following the life, death and resurrection of Jesus, to limit what you can know and believe about what Jesus did and said. There is so much more for you to know.
After his life as part of the Essene community, as were the apostles and some of his cousins, Jesus remained on earth much longer after his resurrection than modern bibles portray. He went on to India and Tibet along with his apostle Thomas, where they learned the traditional teachings of the rishis of India that even today comprise Sanatana Dharma, the Eternal Dharma that goes far beyond religion into realization.
The Essenes taught that “Moses had ceated them as a secret fraternity within Judahism, with Aaron and his discendants at their head. The prophet Jeremiah was a master of the Essenes, then changing them from a secret society to a public entity. From that time many of the Essenes began living in communities. Isaiah and the Saint John the Baptist were also masters of the Essenes.” taken from The CHRIST of INDIA, The Story of Original Christianity,” by Abbot George Burke (Swami Nirmalananda Giri)
Jesus and Thomas thrived in India for centuries before the coming of the European colonialists. There are numerous accounts of Jesus in the Far East. It is helpful to continue learning what more Jesus had to say beyond what we know so far.
