This originally was sparked by a comment I made on a Facebook post regarding a story about a pastor and two members of a Corona church pleading guilty to torturing a young boy, including driving the boy into the desert where he was forced to dig his own grave. I will spare you the gruesome details as to what was done to this young man.
My reply was something like this:
"Events like these are what separated me from the traditional teaching of modern day "literal" Christianity. I have no doubts that this young man "called on the name of Jesus" to save him from this horrible suffering and yet ... no Jesus to be found. No God to be found ... because WE ARE GOD ... just as it said in the Bible. "Ye are little gods" ... means that we ... collectively - all of us ... are the representative of all that is holy here in this realm.
It is OUR thoughts and actions that can bring about the end of suffering for all creatures. Not the intervention of someone's deity up in the clouds somewhere. Modern day literal Christianity remains ignorant by selling and believing that Jesus died for the sins of mankind ... LITERALLY. Because if we are to believe that, then either he failed ... or there is a deeper message. Because the world is just as sinful (wrong thinking) now as it ever was. SIN is missing the mark ... the mark of Truth and right-thinking.
If these men committed this atrocity, it is because they made a choice to serve their self-desire ego driven actions. There will be a price to pay. Here, and in the afterworld. It is US who make a difference here in this material world. It is US who choose right from wrong. It is US who are commissioned to transmute chaos into order ... darkness into light ... abuse into love. If WE dont do it ... GOD WILL NOT EITHER. Plain, harsh, and simple. As Paul wrote ... WE are the body of Christ. Christ is not just Jesus ... but the righteous and holy essence of God that lies within each and every human being on this planet ... if they awaken and recognize it.
When Jesus said to Peter "get behind thee satan" ... the allegorical Truth was to let Christ LEAD, and ego to FOLLOW. The world today is LEAD by ego ... completely in reverse and this is why all creatures suffer so much. Self serving ego, rather than other serving Spirit. It is the lies and false doctrines of a literalized Christianity, Islam, and Judaic population that have destroyed life and set us back 2,000 years."
And so to continue what I would've added to this if I had the time at the moment of posting was this:
Well, I guess it's time to lose some friends, Facebook and otherwise; due to my big mouth ... but here goes something I believe very strongly about. While post after post continued to scroll the main FB Timeline yesterday about soccer and the World Cup ... I ask that you ALSO keep in mind that there are other very important events taking place in the world. Events that will eventually effect our country, our children, our families, our friends, our economy, our lifestyle, and our leisure.
If this offends you, I am sincerely sorry because that is not the intent. Unless each and every one of us begins to wake up from our slumber, and stop buying into the "Bread & Circus" tactics of keeping us occupied with entertainment and what not ... we will continue to see things on the decline.
We are suppose to be an educated society ... no longer trapped in ignorance due to lack of education and unknowing oppression. We are schooled, informed, aware, and connected ... yet humanity is in the emergency room waiting to be seen.
In case you're interested ... below were some current news headlines from around the world at the hour I wrote this. Have your sports, and happy hour, and leisure, and movies, and parties ... but remember ... it is up to US to bring about change in the world. Positive change. Divine change. WE are responsible. Our ancestors did not leave us this planet ... we are borrowing it from our children's future.
Do not think some supernatural force is going to waltz in and wake a magic wand and make it better. That's not how it works. These are not the ways of a God who has issued free-will and universal Law to the earths inhabitants. This is OUR job. NOT deity. We spilled the milk. This is our cause and effect ... OUR collective group/race karma. WE have to fix it. And only WE can.
I really do post this with care and compassion. Call me a quack ... unfriend me ... tell me I'm taking this way too serious ... but at least take notice. At least ignite compassion within you for the atrocities being committed BY mankind, AGAINST mankind. People are dying from war, famine, disease, terrorism, domestic violence, and a myriad of other UN-natural causes. WE can STOP IT. But not by ignoring it thinking it may go away on its own.
If you've made it this far, thanks. f you agree ... then let's join together to affect REAL change. Worldwide change. Life-changing change. I pray and meditate daily for the end of suffering for all creatures. It has become overwhelming.
