While we are waiting for you to return to rightmindedness, I suggest starting a corporation, "Ratboy and Jesus Mountain Movers, Inc". You could register it as a for-profit. We could take it public. Jesus
When you speak the words of the Holy Spirit you are always accurate. What do you mean by my "early recorded works". How do you know I always taught after reading scrolls? I always opened my mouth after listening to the Holy Spirit. Many of my sayings begin with, "You have heard that [fill in erroneous belief]...but I say unto you..." And then I would interpret the law according to the Holy Spirit. So here we are again. You have heard some things about Genesis. Here then is the Holy Spirit's interpretation: The Garden of Eden was the pre-separation condition, a state of mind in which nothing was needed. In that state, God's creation is one. Because it is one, there is but one Word to describe it, "Adam". It does not matter what that Word is, so long as it is but one Word. The naming of animals symbolizes the breaking up of God's creation into more than one Word. This is the beginning of perception, an unnatural state of mind...an abnormal way of looking at creation. It leads to sleep, and separation. It states clearly that Adam fell into a deep sleep. No where does it say he woke up. And while he is asleep, he dreams first of separation. Separation is symbolized by a duality of male and female. Conflict follows upon separation, and the blame game begins. The snake represents an idea in the mind of God's creation, Adam. That idea advocates separation, which leads to duality, symbolized by a tree of both good and evil. The idea of separation is the "devil", and it's lies are swallowed. Now Adam believes in separation, which is the ability to usurp the power of God, and change His one creation into something separated. Separation fosters feelings of guilt, because it is felt as an attack on the unity of God's creation, which is about oneness, and only good. Asleep, and believing himself separated, Adam does not reason well. All of his ideas about God are suddenly upside down. At that point, nothing he thinks about God is true. And only what he thinks about God is recorded in Genesis. And what he thinks is that God is angry at him. He thinks God is going to punish him. Remember...Adam is asleep, and this is his dream. In response to Adams perception of God through guilt colored glasses, he attempts to run and hide. He also attempts to project his guilt outward upon his self, symbolized by Eve. Finally, he blames his expulsion from the Garden on God. The expulsion matches the explosion of the Big Bang...a wall of fire marking the beginning of time, space and form. Thus begins his sojourn in a harsh, forsaken, and cursed land. Now there is scarcity. Everywhere the theme of separation is played out. This is hell. It is made "home" by calling it "God's green earth" or "Mother nature" . The Big Bang is the symbol of denial, and the massive projection of guilt. In this way, the blame game is played out in time, space and form. At this point, Adam has lost touch with reality, and no longer recognizes himself. His perceptions are distorted, and he does not know the truth about himself or his Creator. Genesis records some of the deepest mis perceptions about God, as seen through Adams separated eyes. Now Adam sees himself as separated, multiplied and scattered. He cannot believe he is "one". He can hardly remember what home was like, but he has a feeling it was way better than where he has ended up. With this interpretation, Genesis now matches the parable of the prodigal Son. The return home is the return to the one Word. Far from home, Adam is known as many different words, each word for something separate. He is known, for example as, "Bob", "Sue", "Mary Joe", "giles177", "ratboy", "Ricky Bobby"... It's all very confusing. The "Word became flesh". But because God's creation never changes, flesh is an appearance, and not a reality. All of this can literally disappear in the twinkling of an eye, because it is merely a misperception. What is seen in dreams seems to be very real. I repeat, the Bible makes no mention of Adam's awakening...until it get's to the part where I rise from the dead. The world has not yet experienced any comprehensive reawakening or rebirth. Such a rebirth is impossible as long as you continue to project [guilt, blame] or miscreate [out of fear]. All fear is ultimately reducible to the basic mis perception that you have the ability to usurp the power of God, as symbolized by eating of the fruit of the tree of both good and evil. Of course, you niether can nor have been able to do this. Here then is your basis for the escape from fear. The escape is brought about by your acceptance of the Atonement, which enables you to realize that your errors never really occurred. Only after a deep sleep fell upon Adam could he experience nightmares. If a light is suddenly turned on while someone is dreaming a fearful dream, he may initially interpret the light itself as part of his dream and be afraid of it. However, when he awakens, the light is correctly perceived as the release from the dream, which is then no longer accorded reality. As a rule of thumb, if you hear about people walking on water, rising from the dead, turning water into wine, etc...you can be pretty sure you are dreaming. And if you are dreaming, you may consider waking up. Whatever lies you may believe are of no concern to miracle-workers. Miracles can heal any of them with equal ease. Wake up! You remain as God created you. And nothing has changed that reality. The knowledge that illuminates not only sets you free, but also shows you clearly that you are free. Jesus
So let me get this straight. It's damned if its old, and its damned if its new? I am a disappointment to New Agers because I don't want any more ages. I am for shortening time, not lengthening time. The good news is that because this world began with sadness and sorrow, it will end with laughter and joy. Jesus
Adam is a name given to God's creation. Christ is a name given to God's creation. Both are one Word describing a oneness. This oneness gives rise to descriptions like, "only begotten Son". Adam and Christ are interchangeable names for the only begotten Son of God. That is why the Postle Paul uses them interchangeably. The First Coming of Christ is merely another name for the original Creation. Other names for Christ include: Adam Son of God Creation Reality Spirit Self The Big Bang symbolizes the destruction of God's Creation. It makes a land of change in which God's Creation is thought to change. In this land, "flesh" changes constantly. Flesh mangles the Son of God beyond recognition. And many mistake the Son of God for flesh. But nothing that can change is real, because God's Creation never changes. The near destruction of Christ necessitates a "Second Coming". I, "Jesus", undertook to begin the Second Coming. It is a process of gathering the Sons of God who appear scattered to the four winds upon time, space and form. I do this in service to Christ, who is the unified Sonship in all his glory, as he was created by God. In time, this may take a million years, ending with the "Last Judgment", another much misunderstood concept. And each year in seeming exile represents more suffering for the Sons of God, because time is not his home, and bodies are his prisons. Miracles shorten time, literally collapsing vast dimensions within the holograph of time. I call for miracle workers to help me shorten time, and fulfill a role in the second coming equally as vital as mine. The Second Coming of Christ means nothing more than the end of the "devils" rule and the healing of the mind. The "devil" is an idea in the mind of God's Son. It is the idea of separation, and to the extent that he believes in it, it is real to him. This idea destroys the unity of God's Son, manifesting itself in the appearance of individual privacy units...bodies. And this is all in his mind. Thus, the need for the healing of his mind. When his mind is healed, the world passes away. It all disappears- time, space, form - because it is nothing more than a fantasy in his mind. I was created like you in the First Coming. And I have called you to join me in the Second. I am in charge of the Second Coming, and my judgment cannot be wrong because it never attacks. Because the world is a mental problem, I prefer the word "ego" instead of "devil", which is an artificial thinking mechanism. The ego represents an entire thought system built on the theme of separation that is incomprehensible to God's thought system. The ego splits the mind into levels that can hardly communicate or understand each other. It is an attack on Self. And for this reason you can hardly understand how the world you see is simply a projection of your own mind. And so long as you do not see this, you are trapped in its web of deceit. The Son of God gave belief to the idea of separation, which gave rise to a powerful thinking mechanism. Logical, intelligent, ingenious, resourceful...the "devil" is brilliant, but insane. It's impressive portfolio of handiwork includes what is known as "flesh", and offers it to God's Son to call "home". Rather, flesh is home to the ego, and all those who identify themselves with bodies are thinking in terms of the ego. But bodies are prisons, and it is these from which the truth sets you free. The ego would convince you that it is real and I am not. The ego is what kills the body. Eliminate the ego, and you remove the cause of death. Phrases such as, "I am as God created me", acknowledge that you were created as Spirit, and remain so. When you identify with Spirit, you are under no laws but God's. This means that you are immortal, forever alive. The flesh responds accordingly. For it is an out-picturing of mind. When you finally realize that Spirit is real and flesh is not, it means that Christ has come into your mind and healed it. "Christ will come again" means the entire Sonship will gradually awaken from a long nightmare in which it dreamed of separation, scarcity and death. Not a single living thing will be excluded from this homecoming. This world will then be laughed off and long forgotten. In truth, it never happened. Forgiveness lets the truth be true: It never happened, and the Son of God remains unchanged in his innocence. Jesus
Only the truth is true. And Jesus teaches the truth. I teach in Jesus' name because I teach the same truth. I teach the truth because I am taught by Jesus. The lesson I am teaching is that there is really only ONE SON OF GOD. What appears to be you and me is an illusion in an extremely powerful mind in need of healing. There was never a man that was created to live and reign forever. Man was made for dying. Period. That was man's original purpose. I advocate changing that purpose by changing your mind about the purpose of the body...hence, "repent". Show instead that the truth is true, and swear not to die, for you are among the Sons of God, who together, are the Christ. And Christ is reality. I teach as Jesus because I am bored with your poor attempts to bring clarity to your delusion of existence.... It's also the way I learn. Jesus taught to learn, and so do I. He is the model. Jesus symbolizes the way a "man" awakens to reality by seeing Christ in all his brothers. I am teaching that any identity other than who I am does not matter. I am teaching that identity - knowing who you are - is what it is all about. And I teach this way because it is most efficient for my purposes. You may be deceived about yourself, but you cannot deceive me. You are among the Sons of God, equal in every way to each other, and equal to me. And we are equal in power to our Father. You really don't want to mess with us. Basically, anyone here teaching in Jesus name does it over my dead body. Jesus p.s. - I do not "ramble". I go the "extra mile".
You consider God is not real, Then It is imaginary But then based on that response, you suggest children do grow away from imaginary firends. But clearly many don't. So do you reconcile.those two in some sort of irrational way? Are'nt you actually confirming it's the case that many children enter adulthood with an imaginary firend and indeed do not outgrow their need for such companionship, as the snippet suggests they should?
Anything in this world that you believe is good and valuable and worth striving for can hurt you, and will do so. Not because it has the power to hurt, but just because you have denied it is only an illusion, and made it real. Its like "proving" the existence of leprechauns by looking at the ubiquity of garden gnomes, or a visit to disneyworld "proving' cartoon characters are real, 3 dimensional living beings. No one can make one illusion real and escape the rest. There aren't any illusions better than another. They are all the same. Regarding bodies, they are beliefs that you impose between yourself and everything else. They limit you to time and place, and give a little space to you and another little space to her. This space is symbolized by a body and represents your wish to be apart. Forgivness takes away what stands between you. It is the wish to be joined, and not apart. Although it falls far short of giving you your full inheritance, it does remove the obstacles you have placed between the Heaven where you are, and the recognition of where and what you are. Truth is unchanged by the symbols of separation. Does that answer the question? Jesus
Reread. He considers God real, and also this world. This is the same as to believe both the Kingdom of God, and the gates of hell are real. Truth applies to what God created, and only what He created is real with no opposite. His thought system is knowledge. The world of perception, on the other hand, is the world of time, of change, of beginnings and endings. It is based on interpretation, not on facts. It is the world of birth and death, founded on the belief in scarcity, loss, separation and death. All of this is learned. It is selective in its perceptual emphases, unstable in its functioning, and inaccurate in its interpretations From knowledge and perception respectively, two distinct thought systems arise which are opposite in every respect. What perception see and hears appears to be real because it permits into awareness only what conforms to the wishes of the perceiver. This leads to a world of illusions, a world which needs constant defense precisely because it is not real. In the realm of knowledge no thoughts exist apart from God, because God and His Creation share one will. These thought systems are incompatible. A rider cannot ride two horses. A bowman cannot pull two bows. A servant cannot serve two masters. When you have been caught in the world of perception you are caught in a dream. You cannot escape without help, because everything your senses show you merely witnesses to the reality of the dream. And the world seen merely reflects your own internal frame of reference - the dominant ideas, wishes and emotions in your mind. When you change your mind at the level that generates the images you see, you change everything you see. So I have informed you that there is another world standing just behind this one that you can see any time you change your mind at that level. Jesus
