Last night I started reading online a long dissertation as to why a certain person might be ‘the anti-Christ,’ the well-meaning author citing voluminous sources, from within both the ‘Old Testament’ and the so-called New Testament and from later on historically by various ‘Church fathers’. And I gave up.
It really is time for some clear thinking on this subject. The subject of Christianity, in general, and in certain aspects of it in particular.
Stop and think, folks. Your parents did not create your soul. They ‘created’ - brought together the pieces for - the physical vessel through which your soul could operate in this realm. As we change our roles in The Drama, for its educative value. And there goes the idea that a holy man two thousand years ago ‘died for your sins’.
Who is ‘you’? Certainly not your present incarnation. As the Psychosynthesis school of ‘personal development’ teaches:
‘You have a body. But you are not your body.’
You are so much more. Including being a god in the making.
Going to school. For that purpose. Here. And later on, elsewhere.
And not so far ‘later on’ as one might think. Given the degree of identity solely with one’s daily self as so many humans have so obviously now fallen into.
As in a trap.
More later. I just needed to get this off my chest.
‘This.’ My concern, as to what Christians - for all their good intentions, and excellent works in the world, and standing for the dignity of the individual as opposed to the oppression of the state - might lead the world into.
In the way of self-fulfilling prophecy.
Bottom line:
You need to ‘save’ yourself.
No one is going to do it for you.
That’s why you
are
You.
