i don't have a negative experience of Paul. But, I do have a lot of questions. And, IMO, there are many contradictions in the Bible when it comes to Paul... if you read carefully. To me Paul is nothing more than an intelligence asset working on behalf of Roman imperial interests to neutralize the most dangerous threat the empire had ever faced, Jewish fanaticism.
Let me give you an example, Paul decides to go to Damascus to destroy the Jesus movement there. But on the road to Damascus, something extraordinary happens. He sees a blinding light. He hears the voice of Jesus saying, "Paul, Paul, why are you persecuting me and my people?" And at this moment, Paul has what we now call a Damascus moment, a sudden conversion, a complete reversal of belief. And Paul at this point becomes a fanatical follower of Jesus, even though he never met Jesus in life and never met any of Jesus's original disciples. This is extremely weird, but he becomes convinced that he understands Jesus's message better than anyone. And he decides he's going to spread this message to everyone throughout the Roman Empire. So what does Paul do? He starts going to synagogues around the empire telling Jews that Jesus is the Messiah. And he begins to build the structure and organization that will become Christianity. Now, at this point, they're not called Christians. They're still Jews. And the Jesus movement is considered a branch of Judaism. But Paul introduces several radical innovations. Everything I just described to you to me seems like taken right out of a CIA or Mossad manual. None of it makes any sense to me.
I'm all for primitive, original Christianity, and can sound very gnostic
I don't sound Gnostic to me, you sound like someone who has one foot in the OT and the other in the NT. Someone who believes Jesus was sent by Yahweh to save a world which doesn't want to be saved.
Why start there? Why not evangelize your message of how you hope to defeat the matrix and the rules of reincarnation?
Attacking a story because it sounds contradictory (though there may be a number of omitted factors, like the 14 years Paul was silent as per Gal. 2:1) is usually not a firm place to begin. It sounds confrontational.
I don't sound Gnostic to me
Jesus taught that everyone has the divine spark within them and through right action through cultivating that spark you achieve enlightenment, salvation, liberation.
What words did Jesus use that you think should be defined as "divine spark"? How about "right action"? How about "enlightenment" and "liberation"? How can we determine what Jesus taught if we paraphrase all his words? He said "Thy faith hath saved thee." He said to the thief on the cross "Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise." Thanks for your understanding.
Here's the link again to where I asked you previously (and still would love to know), "Do you want to live forever this time, or cease to exist? Why or why not?":
OK. I could give you an answer to this question, but I'm not sure you will understand. If you believe Jesus's death was the substitution/sacrifice for our sins, and salvation is by grace alone through faith in Jesus alone, as the Church teaches... then you will have a hard time grasping what I'm about to say.
I believe Jesus was the prototype for a special mission. He wasn't a sacrifice to an angry god, Yahweh. He was a messenger sent into hostile territory to plant a virus of truth into the matrix code. And some of us are the sleeper cells he left behind. If I haven't lost you by now then it's a miracle: "If the flesh came into being because of spirit, it is a wonder. But if spirit came into being because of the body, it is a wonder of wonders.".
So how do you distinguish between a mental fantasy and a genuine spiritual mandate? How do you know if you are truly a volunteer or just someone with a vivid imagination? The Monad provides hints. If you are truly called, you will possess these three non-negotiable signatures:
the glass wall: you have felt a distinct separation from the rest of the world your entire life. It wasn't just shyness. It was a cognitive distance. You look at other people, even your own biological family, and you think, "I am not like them. I am observing them.". You have spent your life studying human behavior.
matrix lag (synchronicity). The lag time between your internal thought and external reality is collapsing. You think of a specific concept and a stranger says that exact word seconds later. You have a question in your mind and the radio answers it literally. This isn't coincidence. It is rendering speed. Your frequency is rising so high that the matrix is struggling to buffer your reality. You know before it happens.
Gnosis (Greeks called it gnosis for “knowledge” or “insight”). This is observed through direct experience. Your body is a lie detector. When you hear undeniable truth, your biology reacts before your brain does. You get truth chills. That sudden rush of electricity down your spine or a sudden heat in your chest. An unexplained urge to weep from the sheer relief of recognition. It's like your soul's encryption key matching the signal. Your mind might have doubts, but deep inside of you there is the knowledge.
However, the moment you accept the mission and begin to raise your frequency, the matrix will notice. The simulation is designed to keep energy low, stable, and predictable. A state of homeostasis. When the spark inside of you starts to glow the system treats you like a virus, a foreign object that threatens the stability of the illusion. I'll call this the matrix immune response for a lack of a better term. The system will try to drag you back down. It might be subtle, a sudden wave of unexplained fatigue hits you. Or it might be more direct, Agent Smith logic. Then you know you are awake.
Do you want to live forever this time, or cease to exist? Why or why not?
Neither. It's all about raising your frequency level. That's what I want.
Thank you so much, Dot! That's very positive. I was just recently exposed to the same list of markers, glass wall, matrix lag, gnosis, but I've talked to enough people that I forget who said it. I don't have a direct problem with that as it aligns with Christian mystics, for example Jeanne Guyon.
So you want to raise frequency level in the short term. I'm a bit confused because I understood that you wanted this human life to be the "last" as if this life continues forever as a human life (or else is annihilated). That would imply you have some plans about death, which is what I was implicitly asking about. Since I plan my life to continue forever as a human life despite human death, by God's grace, I don't have a problem with certainty about it being the "last time". But I'm not sure what better plan you can propose than trusting Jesus alone, both the uniqueness of who he is and the example of what he did.
I was just recently exposed to the same list of markers
Amazing, as I was writing about the three non-negotiable signatures or markers, I knew you were going to say this.
I understood that you wanted this human life to be the "last" as if this life continues forever
I can understand why you are a bit confused. Let me attempt to bring some clarity, thou it is a very complex issue. IMO, our souls live forever, in the universe death doesn't exist because after you die your soul goes up to the astral plane to the divine, the Pleroma. Which is where it came from in the first place. So you your soul can never die. All you have to do is recognize that you are the divine spark. And as we imagine, we participate in the universe, we change the universe. And we focus on a certain reality, that reality becomes manifest. It becomes reality itself. And by living in the memories of others, we become immortal like Jesus. And by constructing our lives in a way that allows for Jesus to return, we can resurrect Jesus in ourselves. I hope this makes sense. This is a secret, the secret of the universe. The secret to immortality, reincarnation, and godhood. The secret that religions have passed on through thousands of years of human history and which schools, science, government, all the powers that be (TPTB) try to suppress because is a direct threat to this reality.
But, like I said before this reality is false. TPTB want to make it real because they derive power from this reality. Everything that we've been taught in school, everything that we've learned in science class, it is complete and utter nonsense. This is what's true. You must abandon this material reality that is false. Abandon money, power, sex, fame and focus on connecting to the spark inside of you. And when you do that, the universe comes into you. Christians want to be possessed by Jesus. They want Jesus to enter them and resurrect Jesus, create the Christ consciousness in them. In the Gospel of Thomas Jesus says, "Whoever finds the meaning of these words will not taste death.". It's a simple but revolutionary statement. What Jesus proposes here is not salvation through blind faith but through inner understanding. Immortality according to him is not in the body but in the awareness that recognizes its divine origin. In another passage he says the kingdom of God is not in the sky nor in the sea. The kingdom is within you and outside of you. When you come to know yourselves you will be known and you will understand that you are the children of the living God. This teaching is deeply philosophical and very different from later Christianity.
That would imply you have some plans about death
I do. But, this is a deep rabbit hole. I probably should create a separate reply just for this. IMO, what we've been told about death isn't the full truth. Behind all the comforting stories of the afterlife, I believe lies a truth far more profound than anything we've been led to believe. Again not by accident, but by design. I don't believe death frees you, but instead recycles you. Most people, not only Christians, believe when they die they are walking into freedom, when in reality, they may be stepping into the oldest trap in the universe. If you are to believe what I just said, if the afterlife is a trap, then what happens to you when you die? And more importantly, how do you escape it? this is the question many are asking. And this is not something you find out in the Sunday church, and it's not the love and light story of the New Age movement. This is the knowledge that was suppressed, buried, and branded as heresy for a very long time. So much to say here, looks like it's best I create a separate reply and send it later.
If you want to make your "frequency" as high as possible then repent, believe in Jesus, be Saved, follow God. It's good to be baptized too for 'more hertz'. Fight your desires to commit lust, idolatry, envy, etc. Sin 'lowers your vibe'.
Really? let me tell you a story about baptism. But, I don't think you will agree with the ending. You know that Jesus had a teacher, his teacher was John the Baptist. And John the Baptist was what we call an apocalyptic preacher, meaning he preached about the end times, about the apocalypse, about the day when God would return to earth and establish his kingdom. Pretty much as many Christian groups preach today. John's message was essentially this. I will reveal the future to you. And the future is that God is coming and God will destroy the evil people in the world. So right now is your opportunity to redeem yourself from your sins, to start a new life, to repent and be baptized because God is coming and we must prepare for the return of God. That was John the Baptist's message and Jesus was one of his students, one of his disciples.
But, shortly after the baptism of Jesus, this is when things started to go awfully wrong with John's movement. So, his student stopped believing in his teachings and broke away. This student, Jesus started to create his own following, which suggests that Jesus was preaching a message that was different from John the Baptist. He wasn't repeating what his teacher said. He was developing his own interpretation, his own vision, his own understanding of what was coming and what people needed to do to prepare. His message was different and people paid attention to it. And we know this from historical and archaeological findings. It is one of the things we found confirming the historical Jesus.
i don't have a negative experience of Paul. But, I do have a lot of questions. And, IMO, there are many contradictions in the Bible when it comes to Paul... if you read carefully. To me Paul is nothing more than an intelligence asset working on behalf of Roman imperial interests to neutralize the most dangerous threat the empire had ever faced, Jewish fanaticism.
