A Vision of the Future, Painted in 1930
Simple Christianity
Real spirituality is about Oneness, non-ego, enlightenment, known in the Bible as "entering the Kingdom of Heaven", this is the real goal of Christianity, a goal that is available to ALL, a goal that is the "Brass Ring" of life on earth.
The REAL God is not a person or "being" of any kind. The REAL God has no religion, no chosen land or people. Persons, beings, are created things - God is the infinite, invisible, eternal creator, the ORIGIN, of ALL created things. Every created thing is "God" transformed. Everything is ONE. The first line of the Tao Te Ching says: "The Tao (God) which is named is not the real Tao (God)". This means there are no words which can describe the real God. Not now, not ever.
A REAL Messiah is a TEACHER who has reached the highest goal of this world - enlightenment, a goal that is available to ALL. "Messiah" means "anointed one", which in spiritual context, means anointed by God, i.e. "enlightened". A Messiah is someone who knows, who has seen with his own eyes, that everything is ONE, and that "the Kingdom of Heaven" / Oneness is here on earth for all to enter. A REAL Messiah is a teacher of a practical way we ALL can enter the Kingdom, and make this world into the Garden of Eden again. A real Messiah is a teacher of enlightenment, Oneness.
ORIGINAL CHRISTIANITY, in the Words of the Founder
You can deny the Father,
You can deny the Son,
But you can't deny the Holy Ghost (Spirit).
Translated to modern English:
"You can deny the Father": You can deny the existence of God, and suffer no consequences.
"You can deny the Son": This is NOT about Jesus! It means you can deny that YOU, are the creation, the "Son" or "Daughter", of God, and still be OK.
"But you can't deny the Holy Ghost (Spirit)": But you can't deny/ignore the invisible LAWS and natural order that created this world, and govern your life. If you do, you will suffer, sooner or later, as Jesus explains below:
Jesus said:
"For I tell you truly, evils and dangers innumerable lie in wait for the Sons of Men. Beelzebub, the prince of all devils, the source of every evil, lies in wait in the body of all the Sons of Men. He is death, the lord of every plague, and taking upon him a pleasing raiment, he tempts and entices the Sons of Men. Riches does he promise, and power, and splendid palaces, and garments of gold and silver, and a multitude of servants, all these; he promises renown and glory, fornication and lustfulness, gluttony and wine-bibbing, riotous living, and slothfulness and idle days. And he entices every one by that to which their heart is most inclined. And in the day that the Sons of Men have already become the slaves of all these vanities and abominations, then in payment thereof he snatches from the Sons of Men all those things which the Earthly Mother gave them so abundantly. He takes from them their breath, their blood, their bone, their flesh, their bowels, their eyes and their ears. And the breath of the Son of Man becomes short and stifled, full of pain and evil-smelling, like the breath of unclean beasts. And his blood becomes thick and evil-smelling, like the water of the swamps; it clots and blackens, like the night of death. And his bone becomes hard and knotted; it melts away within and breaks asunder, as a stone falling down upon a rock. And his flesh waxes fat and watery; it rots and putrefies, with scabs and boils that are an abomination. And his bowels become full with abominable filthiness, with oozing streams of decay; and multitudes of abominable worms have their habitation there. And his eyes grow dim, till dark night enshrouds them, and his ears become stopped, like the silence of the grave. And last of all shall the erring Son of Man lose life. For he kept not the laws of his Mother, and added sin to sin. Therefore, are taken from him all the gifts of the Earthly Mother: breath, blood, bone, flesh, bowels, eyes and ears, and after all else, life, with which the Earthly Mother crowned his body. "But if the erring Son of Man be sorry for his sins and undo them, and return again to his Earthly Mother; and if he do his Earthly Mother's laws and free himself from Satan's clutches, resisting his temptations, then does the Earthly Mother receive again her erring Son with love and sends him her angels that they may serve him. I tell you truly, when the Son of Man resists the Satan that dwells in him and does not his will, in the same hour are found the Mother's angels there, that they may serve him with all their power and free utterly the Son of Man from the power of Satan." -The Essene Gospel of Peace.
Those who are wise, know that this is the real truth, the simple truth. They know that real health, wisdom and spirituality are about making yourself clean and empty: "If you will that the living God's word and his power may enter you, defile not your body and your spirit; for the body is the temple of the spirit, and the spirit is the temple of God. Purify, therefore, the temple, that the Lord of the temple may dwell therein and occupy a place that is worthy of him."
From baptism to "entering the Kingdom", Christianity is about purifying the body, by living in harmony with the Laws of nature, and so making yourself a worthy receiver for the "Holy Spirit". The human brain, in optimum condition, is a very sensitive receiver. It can tune into the infinite world, and enable you to "see" the Holy Spirit in all things, and know beyond doubt that you are always within the Kingdom of Heaven.
