That I'd agree with. From my perspective we are one with the Prime cause and true point of origin as that is consciousness which is gifted to us, in our personal resonance, to manifest via the flesh as human. The rest is layers of deception placed around this gnosis which is, to me, Self evident hence my perspective that this is a huge Game.
Now we are getting somewhere.

We can be one with that which you call Prime cause, but we are not in our sin - Look into "theosis". It can be called the true purpose of human existence.

The reason that Christ is the way is that He was the model, that which transcended Man to God. Because to be fully a human being is to be like God. We are made in His image, afterall.

We are Christ, from my perspective, if you dig past the encoding. Check:

"The alcoholic preachers friend tuned in as I said:


"Jesus was crucified on a hill with two thieves on either side of him. One of them was cool, the other was a prick. Whats the deeper meaning? What have you decoded from this whilst Doing the Knowledge? Let me tell you what I picked up from the wavelength. Golgotha means skull in Latin. The hemispheres of your brain are the smooth criminals that Adulterate your christ consciousness that should, rightfully, sit in the mid at the pineal hence you see the Pope walking around with pinecones and the rest whilst they tell you fluoride is amazing and pump it into the water you drink in order to keep you locked in to the Mind Made Prison as they laugh at your ignorance and profit from your suffering. The left hemisphere is masculine and handles logic and communication and this thief will, to your last breath, deny what it steals as it doesn't create but modulates consciousness at the rate of around seven bits of information per second. This is why its easier to remember digits if you break them down into a rhyme or segments as this activates the right hemi (the good thief) who is humble enough to admit that what they're stealing and profiting from actually originates within your chest which is the true seat of awareness aka the Inner Sense you've heard me mention in previous missives. Basically, the Warriors entire script is getting back to this prime state of being and thus they enter the Kingdom and become, once again, as little children"."




In many ways this realm is akin to playing hide and seek with the deception of the flesh being the first hurdle and main obstacle that must be transcended in order to comprehend your true resonance. There are various other blips that are also worthy of attention and amusing and much potential to develop but 8/10 are content to be plugged in to the lowest possible resonance as they place the same amount of effort in and, now and then, that chafes a man of culture such as my Self.

Also I think you'd like this article:


Especially the part about the test after death and its meaning.

I was where you are about 18 months ago, friend, so I know exactly what you are saying. But just like you, I was trying to come at it from the mind

The Truth is in the heart.

The thing is, why Christianity? If anything, I find myself more drawn to Buddhism or Shinto. It seems pure happenstance that I was born into the religion of Christianity.

Buddhism has you completely reject attachment to the material world as if its completely illusory when Christianity encourages one to live through the material world. You get to know God through learning of the material world and all the other worlds of His creation.

It was also not "pure happenstance" that you were born into Christianity. You were born as you were because your parents were Christians and because of that you owe you life to non ironically. If you were born of another religion your consciousness would be alterred from its current state.

All tradititional spiritualities will be be under trial in the modern world. Christianity was the first to venture into modernity because its a Truth seeking religion. Modernity will change Christianity for the better and I see it as a big filter. Atheists who deconvert from Christianity are essentially doomed in terms of their spiritual lineage. They will see their numbers decline and birthrates plummet. Pure Buddhists do not have high birthrates and the religion doesnt encourage having families as that is a form of attachment. Christianity encourages suffering/sacrifice on behalf of others which is essential for producing stable families.

Modernity will hit Islam like a Truck. Islam requires a strong theocratic state to protect themselves from modernity. It is working for the time being but its only evitable that Islam will be destroyed by modernity. Islam is by far one of the least attractive religions and it professes a doctrine of submission of the self. Islam's usefulness is in how it convinces men that their desires will be met in heaven. It is a religion which ignores women completely which is incompatible with the trials of modernity. Christianity teaches that in heaven you will not be controlled by your desires rather by the Will of Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ's will is available to everyone not a special selected group... this is a directly compatibility with the trials of Modernity that Islam/Judaism doesnt have.

I highly recommend reading "A secular age" by Charles Taylor. The key to understanding the supposed decline in Christianity is to understand the spiritual ramifications of the Prodestant Reformation and how those reforms impacted the Boomer Generation. The theory being that the Boomers started worhshipping false gods... specifically the "Moralistic Theraputic Deity". You can see this false worship in how some Boomers prioritize their feelings and how they feel towards particular morals and worship those thoughts instead of worshiping Christ. This transformation occurred because of the Counter Cultural movement, and mass television. The Children of these boomers who worshipped the false god correctly stopped believing in it. The God of Abramham is only which is completely in line with reality, worshipping God has one accept reality for what it is (Truth) and to live a righteous life regardless of the trial presented.

Here is what I recommend.

1) Start a meditation practise

2) Think about sin, how you divorce yourself from God via willfull introduction of sedation/illusions/unTruths into your life.

3) Start meditating while reading the Bible. While reading get a professional interpretation of the chapter that you have read. The Catholics imo have the best interpretations, but just pick a denomination that is confessional for your interpretations. (While I am not against prodestants, they believe in individual interpretations which has Truth to it, but it makes us a all experts which isnt true). While meditating on the Bible you will see the Word relate to your life/experiences.

4) Read as much Truth as possible. Learn new things. Learn about creation. This is one way to worship God, is to first get to know Him.

We are Christ, from my perspective.
I think its Dangerous to deify the self. Its more accurate to say that Christ is with us, but we are not the Christ. We can manifest the Will of Christ in the material world, but that only makes us "Christ-like" or "Saintly" it doesnt make us a god.

Luke 23:39-43 (NIV)
39 One of the criminals who hung there hurled insults at him: "Aren't you the Messiah? Save yourself and us!"
40 But the other criminal rebuked him. "Don't you fear God," he said, "since you are under the same sentence? 41 We are punished justly, for we are getting what our deeds deserve. But this man has done nothing wrong."
42 Then he said, "Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.[d]"
43 Jesus answered him, "Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in paradise."

And here is a Catholic Interpretation of the Thieves during the Crucifixion of Christ.

From Catechism 1030 "All who die in God's grace and friendship, but still imperfectly purified, are indeed assured of their eternal salvation; but after death they undergo purification, so as to achieve the holiness necessary to enter the joy of heaven."

Here is a message from the Pope Benedict XVI (https://www.vatican.va/content/benedict-xvi/en/audiences/2012/documents/hf_ben-xvi_aud_20120215.html):
The second word spoken by Jesus on the Cross recorded by St Luke is a word of hope, it is his answer to the prayer of one of the two men crucified with him. The good thief comes to his senses before Jesus and repents, he realizes he is facing the Son of God who makes the very Face of God visible, and begs him; "Jesus, remember me when you come in your kingly power" (v. 42). The Lord's answer to this prayer goes far beyond the request: in fact he says: "Truly, I say to you, today you will be with me in Paradise" (v. 43). Jesus knows that he is entering into direct communion with the Father and reopening to man the way to God's paradise. Thus, with this response, he gives the firm hope that God's goodness can also touch us, even at the very last moment of life, and that sincere prayer, even after a wrong life, encounters the open arms of the good Father who awaits the return of his son.
Dear brothers and sisters, the words of Jesus on the Cross at the last moments of his earthly life offer us demanding instructions for our prayers, but they also open us to serene trust and firm hope. Jesus, who asks the Father to forgive those who are crucifying him, invites us to take the difficult step of also praying for those who wrong us, who have injured us, ever able to forgive, so that God's light may illuminate their hearts; and he invites us to live in our prayers the same attitude of mercy and love with which God treats us; "forgive us our trespasses and forgive those who trespass against us", we say every day in the Lord's prayer.
At the same time, Jesus, who at the supreme moment of death entrusts himself totally to the hands of God the Father, communicates to us the certainty that, however harsh the trial, however difficult the problems, however acute the suffering may be, we shall never fall from God's hands, those hands that created us, that sustain us and that accompany us on our way through life, because they are guided by an infinite and faithful love.

The Catholic Interpretation of the Crucifixion is one of Hope and Forgiveness. To see that it represents the false deification of the Self, is most likely a projection. Like I was mentioning before, this is a big problem with the protestants who are non-confessional, it allows for disastrous interpretations of the Bible to come afloat with minimal means to refute... because I mean who are you to interpret the Word? At least the confessional Priests have had to prove knowledge of the Bible and of their sect's beliefs. This is why having a person like the Pope is critical in a religion. We have learned through the Protestants that theocracy is not a good form of government, but when it comes to the interpretation of the Word, the hierarchical structure is important to maintain the sanity of the Faith.

But here's an important take away. You cannot avoid the purification process, and it seems to me you are looking for a way to avoid it.

Precisely, the Orthodox tenet of "theosis" is that which you describe. To become one with God in His energies but not His essence. To deify oneself is the beginning of the fall and leads to death.

People who allow things from outside to define their inner realms are the most lost from my lens because its an area so rife with manipulation and corrupted interests.

If you can scare people to death about what happens next you can very easily influence their steps and its not like the track record of persons with power yells of ethics and mans best interests now, does it? Seeing as you rep Christians why not mention the "good men" (as they were called by those who knew them) aka the Gnostics whose visions were almost scrubbed from the record and paint a totally different pic than those waiting for someone else to come and save them, from one generation to the next, as they fill collection plates for a team thats already rich.

Aside from this my perspective is my own, built, designed and constantly refined after reality testing and thus a constant work in progress that is mine and mine alone whereas a lot of folk are content with the off the peg fit they inherited (usually) from their parents. How many of you have actually looked into other religions with depth and an open mind that is not biased with "I'm saved, they're going to hell. Yep!" thinking and various biases? Ever had intense conversations with those who know their deets, inside out? If you did you may draw some surprising conclusions and spot common links as well as the true points of origin of what became current practices.

I always find it interesting that the church demonized astrology and said its mad, bad and wicked but then the whole tale of Jesus can be seen through that lens and it makes a load of sense as the whole "walking on water", death and resurrection where the sun stands still in the winter solstice as well as the 12 disciples aka signs of the zodiac and so much more like born of Virgin, two loaves of bread and the sign of the fish being Virgo and Pisces, respectively, which are opposite as well as the cryptic hint about "writing my name on the new kid who rolls up with the water pitcher" aka Aquarius.

What won't you allow your Self to think?

Me? I don't have that problem...

Me? I don't have that problem...
The only one with your best interests is God. I know that I don't even have my own best interests because I sin all the time, falling short of my actual potential (in Christ).

The issue with the New Age is precisely what you just did - it says absolutely nothing while claiming to be the next step in human consciousness.

We have all done psychedelics before my man. The thing that happens when it is "all your perspective, all your own, built, designed..." is that you then become your own God, and that is where the fall comes, because you then will do whatever it is that benefits you. Because you think that you did it all yourself. But then you realize that the meal you just ate was nothing of your own creation, it was hundreds if not thousands of people that grew, killed, and transported the food to your plate. We are made in the image of God, thus have the ability to create - but we didn't create the life we were given - He did.

The Bible is not some secret document with hidden meaning as the New Agers would have one believe - it is very straight forward: Love God and love thy neighbor as yourself. Forget organized religion here for a moment - we are not talking about "religion". We are talking about Christ. If you are honest in your pursuit of Truth, you will come to Christ, because you are on the doorstep. I was exactly where you were, but I wanted Truth more than I wanted to live, more than I wanted happiness, or anything else - and that is when it happened.

I will leave you with this: I thought life was all about living up to MY potential, MY success is what mattered, MY will, MY own perspective. What if God had way higher plans for you than you could ever conceive of?

God bless.
