It is something people have to do for themselves. There is no correct belief system.
Straight up, everything Jesus says is true. It's right there in the open for all to see. But nobody recognizes it. Jesus wasn't trying to give a
belief system, he was trying to give people understanding. You don't need to believe 1+1=2 if you understand math, then you know and understand it
for yourself.
Nothing is hidden. That was something that absolutely blew my mind. Nothing is hidden, it's all out in the open. But nobody see's or notices
it. It is absolutely brilliant how it is. It is there for anyone who seeks, anyone who looks for it. But people must actually seek for
themselves. I can't give it to you, if I could I would have already. No other man can give it to us either.
I use to be like everyone else. Just accepted what I was told and made my choices based on what I had accepted. My entire perspective on the world
changed almost over night. I could suddenly "see the truth". I can today "see through" people, but yet my eyes show me the exact same things
they did before that day. What changed was my understanding and what I looked at and paid attention too.
My experience is explained in the bible. It is what Jesus refers to as being "born again", or "born of the spirit". Of course, the majority of
people really don't know what that means or have understanding of it.
John 3
2The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou
doest, except God be with him.
3Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
4Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born?
5Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
6That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
7Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.
New agers do not get this. They believe creation and all things to be all one and "god". Not the case. There is the thinker(spirit/father/god)
and there is the thought(creation/universe).
Everyone must go through the experience of being born again and born of spirit. What does that mean exactly though? Well, that process is
described in John 14.
John 14
20At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.
That is what I knew for a fact after being born again. It was the very first words out of my mouth. Although I didn't know the bible at all, so
I expressed it as "I am god, and I am arguing with myself(you)". Meaning, I recognized the father that is within me and others for the first
time. That verse I read later and is what got me to look at the bible. I was in shock that Jesus said that, and yet I never knew it.
The event is followed by teachings and understandings are given. And this is nothing something that is reserved for Christians or any specific
belief system. It is open to all those who seek. I was so far away from religion when it happened, I hated religion and thought it was stupid.
Still do in many ways.
John 14
24He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me.
25These things have I spoken unto you, being yet present with you.
26But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your
remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
So what exactly is being said here?
People must seek and realize who they are. There is a difference between consciousness and soul, and the creation/universe. People in this day
and age have no clue about this. They see themselves as being flesh and not spirit. They think consciousness/soul is a part of creation. But
it's not.
Creation/universe works off logic. It is based on action and reaction. Science is great for this side of things, because it is repeatable in a
lab and so forth. It has no understanding, it has no free will and it has no choice. It is unable to
reason
Consciousness/soul is the part within us that allows us to observe, to reason, to understand and so forth. Thus why it is said that without the
father there is no understanding and such. Because without that, we would be just like robots. That consciousness and what is actually "you" is
the father within you.
This is the basis for all my understanding. It was this 1 and simple understanding that changed my life and my perspective. Death? Not real.
And it is near impossible to understand what is being said without this. Thus, we must all be "born again" if we hope to see the truth. When
you realize this, and you realize that you are your soul and not the physical then you will understand that you are born of the father/god. AKA, you
are born again even at an early age.
The "belief system" of christianity confuses the crap outta that. Never once was it explained to me in such a way. Born again to them just means
"being devout". Not even close. But they do not understand and they have just accepted what sounds good etc.
Christianity doesn't provide that understanding. And if you were to just accept this as truth because I say it, then it provides you no
understanding either. If you accept it, then it just becomes a belief, and a belief system.
Thus in my experience is was made known to me - do not make yourself into an authority. I was shown that it doesn't do any good if people just
accept what is said. Jesus also says do not make yourself into authority figures, which completely invalidates the church and the belief system it
carries. Paul comes in after and changes all that though.
Now then, it is said that - because you are not of this world you are hated. What does that mean? What does it really mean to sell your soul?
As I mentioned earlier, this world works on action and reaction. Your soul provides free will/choice and makes you not work on action and reaction.
Take a look at a rocket. We introduce the correct actions, and the rocket reacts the way we want. This gives us control over the rockets. You
are hated because you are not easily controlled in this manner, and "they" and the entire game on this planet is to turn you into a being that is
just like that rocket. To sell your free will and be under their control. Someone who sells their soul is just a puppet.
We can see evidence of this in society. Certain actions are introduced into society, aka 9/11 for example. In order to get the reactions wanted
from the people. Look at how people jumped on the war bandwagon(myself included at that time). Thus, completely bypassing the soul/free
will/choice.
No belief system will do. People must understand these things. The father never tells people to accept anything, acceptance is how the world
gives. The father gives in understanding. He does not take your will, you can not give your will to the father. Instead, he will give you
understanding and wisdom so that you can follow and do his will on your own.
I am a big fan of Jesus, no doubt. But yet that is not the important thing here. The understanding and what he says is. I was shown not to focus
on the idol/messengers, but the messages and understandings they bring instead. I am certainly not saying go worship Jesus, I am certainly not
saying go to church. Christianity is a belief system, it is the anti-Christ religion and it rejects the understanding. Imagine what Christians
would do to Jesus these days. Pretty much sums it up IMO.
Time is honestly irrelevant. For example, I do not have to be here. Things are just going to keep getting more in your face until you understand.
Just like if you put your finger on stove eye, it's going to burn you more and more until you correct the situation. You are not forgotten or
uncared for, nobody is. The "end times" are simply a time of revealing. Apocalypse and revelation both literally translate to "revealing".
As it gets more in peoples face, they will start to question. And when they question, they will start to "wake up".
It's just a school/prision/ride however you want to see it. Death is not real, don't fear such things. Find yourself and you will find the
father, find the father and you will be born again. Once born again, you won't need me or any other man to tell you the truth(aka belief system),
you will know and understand for yourself. No belief system will give that.
The best I or anyone else can really do is point out things that makes one question things. To try and uphold an honest and higher level of
thinking. Pointing out actions over "who", pointing out understanding over acceptance and so on.
One day we will wake up and everyone will simply understand. It's not really up to "men" or "the powers that be". Can't stop things that
come from within a person, they can only control what they see "out there". We are just people who look early.
