There are many, many, schools of thought enveloped in the term Christianity. There are many who admire this concept and there are many who despise this concept. I think both sides are confused in that they misunderstand it. And my view will probably upset every single one of them, which it is supposed to, because if I can successfully articulate my understanding, we’ll see that this desire or aversion to being upset is a feature, not a bug.
To begin to see what I see, we have to first understand the identity. In my eyes the identity is a container. In the infinite of what is God, we limit ourselves into an identity. The identity is the highest preference, that’s why I keep saying the greatest desire is the desire for separation. I say this because it is. There is no greater desire.
We create this container through attachments and aversions, which are two sides of the same coin. We can think fear and desire. The fear fuels the desire and the desire fuels the fear. You can’t have one without the other. They may seem separate, but they are not. Yin and Yang, each side containing the seed to generate its opposite.
Most versions of Christianity start with this idea of the fall. I assume everyone knows the story, we had the garden, a limitation was introduced, don’t eat the fruit of knowledge of good and evil. The serpent comes in, they partake.
Everyone assumes this is bad, that something really bad happened. The thing is this is happening all the time. It didn’t happen back then, it happens continuously.
We all assume the serpent was the bad guy, the bad actor. No, but that idea is necessary for the purposes of the container. You can see the serpent as the good guy or the bad guy, it would still serve the same purpose. Aversion fuels the Attachment, Attachment fuels the Aversion. Either perspective still fulfills the desire for separation.
When did separation take place, this idea of the fall. In my eyes, the fall didn’t take place from eating the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil, but at the self consciousness of the two, Adam and Eve. They were concerned about being naked, of being judged. This is when the fall took place. They experienced an energy, and resisted it.
In my eyes, none of this actually happened. It could have happened, I’m sure it’s possible, but it’s not relevant. It’s describing something that is always happening, and it doesn’t have to be God, though it could be. But we experience life, and something happens. We say the wrong thing, we make a mistake, we get caught doing something that we are not supposed to do, aka, eating the fruit. We then experience self judgment, we criticize ourselves, we worry, we step into separation.
This is ultimately a resistance to an energy, this then manufactures the container, aka the identity.
The rise and fall is happening all the time. It’s not a one time thing because the greatest desire is the desire for separation. We can’t help ourselves, it’s the highest preference.
All the instructions in Christianity, that being what Yeshua, aka Jesus or Jesus Christ said was for the purposes of opening this container. The container is held together by a resistance to an energy, not the physical act.
Love the Lord Your God, Love your neighbor as yourself. These are concepts that people can comprehend to pierce through the veil.
Luke 14:26-27 that radical speech about hating your family and hating yourself, again just instruction for piercing through the container. Remember there are two sides. Not to literally hate your family and yourself, though in some cases, if the push and pull is strong enough, that might be a symptom, might come off that way. But it has to do with manipulation, what we could see as the adversary. These attachments prevent the penetration through the energy.
Then the whole cross thing, willingly and voluntarily ascending the cross. Again, penetrating through the energy. Then the whole thing about the veil being torn, in my eyes, opening up the spectrum.
We make up all these ideas, the word of god, god said, this is right and this is wrong, we like these people, we don’t like these people. None of this is bad, none of this is wrong. It’s all for the purposes of forming a container, so we can play the game of separation and experience the friction of existence.
Suffering is not a bug in the system, it’s a feature.
So is the story of Jesus Christ important? It could be… We’re stuck in a container, whether that’s desirable or undesirable is another question. But there are energies, and with those energies there are also thoughts. Might be thoughts of the human race turning into zombies and eating one alive like a bed of ants. Might be of being sawed in half vertically. It’s a lot of ideas floating around in the infinity, inside the imagination.
So that said, thinking about the Logos, our logic and reasoning for how the world works and creation and all that. We have to have a way to rationalize and justify a way out of the container.
In this, the idea of Jesus Christ might be 100% necessary. Whether it happened or not, simply the idea of it. How else can you think your way out of all the massive fears and limitations held within the collective unconscious? Then there is the thought that it was done vs it was shown how for it to be done. I guess at the end of the day, that’s a personal preference, again, a means to contain.
Whether you view Christ as the one who accomplished the task or as the template showing how it’s done, it remains a tool of the mind. In the end, every perspective we hold is either a wall that maintains the container or a key that lets us step outside the game.
