Please do not read this if you are not open minded to exploring more than what we have been taught!
One of the greatest teachers recorded in history had a lot to say about who we are, what we are capable of and what ideals to aspire to. Yet, the main message retained and preached is that he died for our sins. It is a burden we feel we deserved, especially when we are reminded by the crucifixion and how someone with such love, truth and healing for humanity could be treated like an enemy.

My intention here is to string together key teachings by the Christ and draw parallels with what we experience today. In addition, I will challenge the contradictions that are allowed to co-exist between what Jesus taught and what is interpreted in this day in age amongst many Christian based religions.

A debate amongst Christian based religions in their quest to reinforce their identity and uniqueness is about whether Jesus was the Son of God or in actual fact, God himself. What is quite amazing is how distracted people can become with arguing their point of view without trying to understand why there is confusion in the first place.

The challenge begins with the assumption that God is a person with a family. If we observe the function of a human family, we notice that it is a phenomenon that brings the opposite sexes together for the biological mechanism for reproduction. A moral and social fabric also bonds the parents to improve the chances for survival through teamwork synergy and providing food, shelter, clothing and education to the offspring. All this falls under the notion of love, an instinctual propensity to connect to each other as a community to promote life.

The driving forces that underpin the forming of a family are survival, protection and promoting their DNA. The ideals of love, generosity and honour seem to draw our efforts beyond the fear of hellish pain and into the realms of heavenly pleasure.

The question is, what purpose does God have for needing a family? Does God have the instincts of humans? God’s survival is not threatened by anyone, including the concept of evil. Therefore, if we lived forever like God, we would all co-exist from the beginning and have no end. The purpose for reproduction would not have existed, nor the need for a family.

So is Jesus the Son or God? Given the impressive life and eternal traits Jesus exhibited on Earth and by his resurrection and resisting the temptation to humanise God, we can safely surmise under the familiar phrase of “I am one with the Father”, that human rules do not apply in heaven. and that to be eternal and unlimited means Jesus and God are no longer separated by the desire to conquer the insecurity of not being special and unique and needing to have separate identities.

If man is made in the image of God, then what separates man from God? We know God represents the ideals for love, truth, the divine and eternal being, yet, how do we truly see God? If we are insecure, then is the image of God corrupted by our inability to grasp God’s unbounded power and unconditional love?

God may see the eternal and divine creation within all of us because that is what God is and does. But that is not what we are and do? So why do we not see that divine creation within each other? Firstly, using 10% of our brain would not help. The fact that key to what we see, is our brain’s ability to interpret data with what we know. Now isn’t that interesting – we can only see what we are able to conceive.

Lets follow the logic here. If we do not know much about life, how we got here and what lies beyond Earth and our future, how much is there to see that we currently do not see? Are ghosts only ghosts because we do not understand them? Would they be people who live here and ‘elsewhere’ simultaneously? If we took the time to understand quantum physics and the concept of time travel and parallel lifetimes, would we be tapping into the other 90% of our brain that can connect us to additional facets of the unlimited God? More on this later.

The cliché, ‘knowledge is power’ begins to dawn on us as we look beyond what little we know and contemplate what it means to quantumplate – this could be the new word to encapsulate the pondering of life outside of what we know. The ultimate challenge; thinking of potential possibilities that currently sit outside your ability to think, grasp and conceive them.

Do you want power? Do you have the maturity for great power? These answers must sit outside your ability to conceive them. How else do you explain why you do not exercise great power or truly understand the responsibilities required. It is exactly like giving a child a loaded handgun with a hairline trigger. In relative terms, the limited awareness of a 2 year old from the point of view of a 40 year old is a small fraction in difference when comparing a 40 year old’s awareness to God.

How do you tap into what you do not know? It would seem logical that to make room for something new, you would need to finish with the old. To create a space for a new guest thought to be welcomed, you would need to farewell a few of the old thoughts that have lingered for a while. For a child to learn something new, it would need to focus long enough on something it does not understand. Then the magic moment of realisation can happen and a child learns the difference between hot and cold, the virtual of television versus reality and crawling, walking and falling.

When we have at least 60,000 thoughts per day, that is a lot of thought-folks over at your place. Since these thoughts are neither new nor profound, we can safely assume they are the same folks that take turns in being heard by you. So what are they saying? Pay the bills, pick up the kids, I need to have a hair cut, does she like me, did I do a good job, what do I need from the shops, need to mow the grass, have to call my mum, what’s on TV tonight and so on.

So what does this have to do with Jesus? It has everything to do with Jesus because our ability to be greater than our human conditioning is exactly what Jesus came here to show is possible. The 40 days in the desert being tempted by the ‘Devil’ is a powerful example of how we struggle to conquer our negative and taunting thoughts. The will of Jesus to choose living without hormonal temptations and the fear of death is the very struggle we go through every day.

There is only one way to accomplish this task. It is to acquire enough knowledge of humanity and God relative to self so that you can understand what moves you hormonally, emotionally and spiritually. In other words, if you are moved into a natural set of reactions everyday, perhaps its time to understand the strings that move the puppet.

Jesus knew what moved him and he knew he chose the puppeteer. Is it going to be the preoccupation with survival, fearing death and the lack of love, or the divine focus on the eternal and unconditionally loving force that would give you everything you ever dreamt of? Jesus was teaching us about choice and responsibility and the key to eternal life. Not by being good and being rewarded after death. It was by walking the path of God by living in God’s image, not humanity’s image.

Was Jesus always God? Yes. But did he always know he was? No.
What was the point of becoming a man, without experiencing life within the limits of the flesh? Jesus was about showing us the path to God, not by pretending to be man, but by actually being man in every sense of the definition. He was born into a human body that needed all the things we needed; food, clothing, shelter, nurturing and education for sustenance, warmth, protection and learning about life and how to make the most of it.

So what was the difference between Jesus and humanity? Very quickly, a lot began to distinguish Jesus from the rest of us. Firstly, he had a passion for God and wanting to teach people that we were all God’s children. His disappearance from the heavily edited and summarised version of the Bible between the ages of 12 and 33 would explain very well why he rose to the Son of God status.

The missing years were about knowledge and its application. Jesus understood that there was much to learn outside of humanity’s awareness if one was to be reunited with the Father. Knowledge was to become his power and the development of his maturity to use it wisely. All this to reunite with the Father because it is the grandest prize of all. Lets not take this prize for granted. It is worth our while to explore why the passion of Christ ignited and focused like a laser onto the kingdom of heaven.

Christmas emulates God

Christmas seems to emulate the magic of heaven for its love, the joy of giving, the adventure and surprises that come from the abundance of gifts. The excitement that comes from the ideal that wishes are granted, beginning with the dream in the mind and materialising into reality to be embraced with our senses.
All of a sudden, people express their love and emulate the Father by planting mystical gifts for loved ones that have yearned for their dreams to come true. Conversely, we put out our wishes to Father Christmas with the hope that they will manifest.

In this state of mind that gives with love, receives with love, lives in joy and creates miracles by materialising their dreams, we are definitely emulating the being that Jesus became as one with the Father. On a mass scale, people choose to live the example of Christ by being as he was. The joy of Christ being expressed in all of us gives the meaning of Christ – in – mass; Christmas.

If the world chose to live the ideals of Christ in mass every day, what would happen to the world today? Would we need to celebrate Christmas once a year, or would we have finally realised that it was about living the example in every moment? For Jesus to be born as a symbol of what is within all of us is a blessing. After all, it did come from outside our realm of comprehension, so there must have been a lot of earnest quiet moments for many who wanted more than the mortal life they were told they deserved for living in sin.

For Jesus to die in order to show the eternal gift that ordains a mind resigned to love and truth is divine icing on a heavenly cake indeed. This resurrection was for Jesus to show what he and we could do when our passion for being the son and daughter of God outweighed our passion for being the son and daughter of Man.

If you read this far, you must strongly agree or disagree! ☺

Breath of fresh air. I have been studying quite a bit of quantum theory over the past couple of weeks.

Nothing that I have witnessed so far as actually taken to task applying the physical, earthly life of Jesus Christ into the realm of the quantum.

I have started to see many things that Jesus said as recorded in scriptures as having an understanding of the visible/invisible interaction — the temporal interacting with the eternal.

I will certainly read more.

I appreciate your thoughts.

You mention 60,000 thoughts per day. Would you please provide the references for this? Thanks!

Google it! it is a common assumption based on one thought per second.

You know that this knowledge is really about The Secret and What The Bleep Do We Know? according to Jesus Christ…
