You object to the formula "God in flesh", but how is that different from saying Jesus is the one Consciousness in flesh?
OK, I'll answer this. There was someone famous who said "we humans are a species with amnesia,". I just can't recall who at this moment. Jesus became the Christ, but Christ consciousness existed before Jesus and remains available after Jesus. He didn't come as the only son of God. He came as the eldest brother, showing all souls they too are children of God. "I and the Father are one,". Wasn't a claim of exclusive divinity, but a demonstration of inclusive divinity. Every soul is destined to make this same claim to achieve this same recognition. The church teaches Jesus was uniquely divine, different in kind from humanity. The Christ consciousness he achieved is your and my destiny, too. I was told in the past "This sounds like you're saying we can become God.". No, not become God. Remember, you are God. Jesus didn't become divine. He remembered his divinity while maintaining humanity. This is the pattern. This is the path. This is why he came. Not to start a new religion. Not to be worshipped as the exception but followed as the example. He clearly told us we are the Monad in flesh. The Gospel of John proves it in plain Greek. Now, do you see the difference with your statement "Consciousness in flesh", which is the how the Church puts it as well "God became flesh. That is the meaning of Incarnation.".
You object to "Obey Jesus", but how could there be any disobedience to him?
I think this is a misunderstanding. I object to the Church saying "obey Jesus", because the church replaced his commands/instructions/teachings with dogma. Everything Jesus taught was in the form of instructions (commands if you will), you need to be born again, feeding on truth, forgiveness, unconditional love and merging with the Father... all these were instructions for the same process available to every chosen one. That includes me so I gladly obey Jesus. The church tried to erase this. They failed. When it comes to the Gospel of John, the truth was written in a language they couldn't destroy and encoded in a text too popular to ban. All the Church could do was lie about what it means, and make Jesus an idol to be worshipped and obeyed.
What Jesus revealed to Peter the night before the crucifixion wasn't about salvation or sin. It was practical instruction, a precise method for accessing what he called the pathway beyond the veil. Peter's fragmentary accounts buried in texts the early church deemed too dangerous described specific techniques for breaking through what Jesus identified as deliberate barriers blocking human consciousness from its source. Jesus was teaching technology, consciousness technology that the archons had systematically obscured. Within decades of his death, these practical instructions were stripped from Christian teaching, replaced with abstract concepts about faith and belief, dogma. The question is, why was this specific knowledge so threatening that it had to be completely erased? The church can't erase it anymore because chosen ones are reading it now without the filter.
And there's something else. A lot of Jesus's teachings go against Jewish religious authority. Remember, Jesus is living in Judea, which is a Roman province, but the day-to-day administration is run by Jewish priests. And these Jewish priests teach people to follow the law, to follow the Sabbath, meaning do not work on Saturdays, to obey the law of Moses, to keep all the customs and traditions of the Jewish faith. But according to the Bible, Jesus says, "No, what's important is not following the letter of the law, but following the spirit of God. What matters is the condition of your heart, not whether you perform the correct rituals.". And this creates a conflict because Jesus is essentially rebelling against the authority of the Jewish priests. That's why he had to die. So, the Christian Church has turned "obey the law of Moses" into "obey Jesus", this is what I object to.
never inferior, but subject to Jesus in the same way Jesus is to the source. The teaching and meaning of the bride is pretty important, is that problematic to you? I wouldn't call this "inferiority"
Many in the past have called Sophia the eternal bride, the soul of the world. She lived on in symbols, the dove, the rose, the chalice, quietly waiting for humanity to remember what was lost. Now Sophia was rebranded by the Church as temptation, error, or silence. And the "believers in Jesus" became the bride. There is no concept of bride in Gnosticism. Jesus came to show humans how to transcend the Demiurge and connect directly with the primordial source, the Monad. That is why the church burned the Gnostic texts. The Gospel of Judas explicitly mentions that Jesus laughed at the disciples for praying to the Demiurge. The Apocryphon of John describes the Demiurge as ignorant of the true God above him. The Gospel of Thomas teaches direct knowledge of the divine without intermediaries. But here's where the story becomes dangerous and why it was silenced. The Gnostics did not teach blind faith. They didn't preach obedience to external authority. They taught direct revelation. They claimed that within every person burns a fragment of the divine source, what they called the divine spark. To awaken that spark is to dissolve the archon's influence.
As a man, Jesus always did what man is capable of doing
IMO, Jesus has always been a man. Jesus was different only in degree of awareness and awakening to the rest of us. He simply remembered what everyone else forgot. That separation from God is impossible. That human and divine can coexist. That heaven is a state of consciousness, not a distant location. This is why Jesus said, "Greater things than these shall you do,", have you ever thought why did he said that? Jesus didn't mean it metaphorically, he meant it literally. We think we're here trying to achieve these three things: immortality, reincarnation, and godhood. And the secret is love powering our imagination. IMO, we're here to imagine things. So this is the great secret of the universe. This is the secret that Gnostics have been trying to share with everybody, and which schools, science, government, religious institutions all the powers that be try to suppress because is a direct threat to this reality. This reality is false, it's just a simulation. But they want to make it real because they derive power from it.
