Meditations for a Christian fundamentalist

Become friends with people who aren't your age.  Hang out with people whose first language isn't the same as yours.  Get to know someone who doesn't share your social or religious upbringing.  This is how you see the world.  This is one way you grow.

You can safely assume you have created a god in your own image when it turns out God hates all the same people you do.

We do not see things as they are, we see things as we are.

Meditations for a Christian fundamentalist

"The goal of the secret teachings of Jesus was to rewire and liberate our consciousness so that we could see past the illusions of Earth life and connect with the God Head, the means by which is already hidden within us.  According to Gnostic teaching, the purpose of mortal existence is to reclaim the skin of light, re-enter the gate of Eden and dwell in the Garden of Life.  All else is death.  Find that gate and we shall live forever in bliss.  Concerning the Garden, the Gnostics taught that in the Garden stands the holy Tree of Life.  High in its branches sings a bird.  Listen for the voice of the bird, for when you are properly aligned with Heaven and Earth, she will tell you all things.

The bird (usually a dove) is a symbol for Sophia, the Holy Spirit, or the Wisdom.  When this Wisdom comes, she will lead one into all Truth.

The reason why modern Christians may not have heard of this Way is because, like the Cathars who attempted to revive the pure teachings of Jesus in the 13th century, its teachers were brutally murdered or driven into exile.  Its books were condemned, destroyed or vanished from sight.  Simply, appallingly, as a result of a cover-up of the actual teachings of Jesus begun more than seventeen hundred years ago the real Jesus is considered the greatest heretic to modern Christians.  We must also recognize that today's dictionaries and accepted translations of Greek words, and even thesauruses, also reflect the impostor Judaeo-Christian worldview, which is a product of the same council.  As history shows, if the meanings of words (such as the word Christ) are changed a people can be conquered, enslaved." - William Henry

Meditations for a Christian fundamentalist

“Similarly, it does not matter what the mind is doing once you identify it as a fool. If there is somebody very stupid around you who goes on blabbering, do you not learn to simply ignore him and carry on with your work? That is all you need to do.” - Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudevuru

Meditations for a Christian fundamentalist

"In Rabbinic Judaism, there is no developed doctrine of eternal torment.  Which raises the question: Why is it that when the "good news" is announced by Jesus, hell comes with it?  How is that "good?"  Perhaps we should call it the "mixed news" of Christ?  Or the "good, the bad and the ugly news."  But not simply the "good news." - Matthew Distefano
