The New Way
The disciple of Jesus Christ will do well to ponder deeply on the true significance and the probabilities of his learning. When your mind is centered in Christ consciousness you have come to realize that all your suffering is illusionary brought about by spiritual confusion due to false beliefs about the “afterlife”. There is no afterlife because there is no “death”.
You see what you believe and you “believe it to see it”. Death is a concept believed as real. The false vision lies not in the concept, but in your belief in it. If you could die then God could die. Jesus proved death to be an illusion, but you MUST practice what He teaches to first understand the power of your own mind, and then use it to heal your world from the inside out, not visa versa. You will then experience the second coming of Jesus as the resurrected Christ within you!
Jesus Christ proves His spiritual resurrection within the Kingdom of God to any sincere disciple. The resurrection is spiritual. This understanding comes via spirit and in truth, not belief; truth. Truth is understanding based on experience. This experience is the acceptance of the Atonement. Faith without works is dead religion, but faith with works (unconditional 70X7 forgiveness) is salvation! Salvation is the experience of forgiveness perfected. Ultimately all healing is realized by your willingness to love everyone. Forgiveness restores the intellectual mind by bringing peace. Peace is the prerequisite to knowledge. After this knowledge is acquired comes salvation.
You have to know what is going to happen before it can happen. When you ask Christ to take over your life He does. However, your ability to See His hand in your life requires you to love your enemies; thus you see why so few “Christians” have received Christ’s Atonement although His consciousness has been waiting to restore their minds.
It is in the mind, the consciousness, the “thinker-within” where we must begin to look for heaven. This world is temporary at best. We have looked for permanence in the transitory. Everything changes in this world. We must seek for permanence within. We are intelligence. The Intelligence that created us wants us to know Him.
Jesus did not teach of a vengeful god. He taught of a benign Father. Dispersing His gifts to everyone who asks. Jesus Christ made it clear to His listening audiences that if they would get to know their Father, He would give to them the desires of their heart.
In this final section of RADICAL SEEKER we will explore a very famous quote attributed to the Blessed Lord Jesus. He taught them to “ask and you shall receive, seek and you will find, knock and the door to the treasures of the Father Himself will be opened unto you”.
He told them further. If you will believe that the thing prayed for is already yours you will receive it. This is the ONLY Time Jesus asks His disciples to “believe” Anything. All His teachings are practiced and acquired by faith.
“Ask, Believe, Receive!” A very powerful inference is being applied here. He is telling you that your mind is superhuman. He is telling His listeners “you are gods” but you grope around in the dark because of your false after death beliefs about God and the Kingdom of Heaven.
Jesus Christ was crucified for teaching them they did not need their bible which was the Torah, and that He had arrived as the physical manifestation of the Holy Spirit, incarnated. He was the Messenger or Messiah prophesized in their bible the Torah.
The common people, the homeless, the lonely, and the broken hearted were applying and putting into practical application His “Love Your Enemies” command and receiving His miraculous salvation. But the learned “Pharisees and Sadducees”, the “Sanhedrin”, did not practice His unconditional forgiveness to experience the salvation of eternal life. They judged Him as mad, crazy and blasphemous. They must have thought, “forgiveness?? as a way of obtaining and experiencing a peace of mind beyond all intellectual concepts”?? It was unbelievable.
Therefore, those who did not try and love thy enemies saw Jesus Christ as insane. Thus they did not use the power of mind constructively. You are here to create as your Father creates. You were created in His likeness and image.
Our image of God is frightening. To fear God is to fear death. Life is all there is, and eternal life is offered by the Lord Jesus Christ to all who would put into practical application His practical teachings. Forgive everyone all the time for everything, no matter the offense, 70X7.
He was not teaching His disciples to overlook the offence. He was telling His disciples what they see is not real and based in a judgmental thought. We discussed this earlier in RADICAL SEEKER; the disciple is drawn to the Christ in another by forgiving them, no matter what! Forgive until the perceived offence no longer causes you any distress. All you need is a willingness to forgive, the Holy Spirit of Christ Jesus does the work.
Ultimately the mind sees not the eyes.
There is a way of experiencing life that is not of this world, but to know this you must seek for the other. The other world, or Kingdom of God is within your current consciousness now. We access that Kingdom by releasing this one.
When we read the word foolishness in “religious texts” the proper translation is: Unbelievable. Unbelievable is unimaginable. Meaning, when you begin to understand the teachings of Jesus Christ through their practical application, you begin to realize via experience that the results are staggering. Implausible is another word for foolishness.
We must understand that what Jesus Christ taught His disciples was how to access another dimension of experience where as nothing ever “goes wrong”. Imagine a world where no one gets sick and dies, now try and conceptualize that in your mind. You can now begin to understand the word foolishness. The pastors of Jesus day did not have time to love their enemies. They were to concerned with public opinion to try and forgive everyone all the time for everything.
Who really wants to love their enemies? No one. Jesus knew that. He also realized that if you did forgive and love everyone your mind would be renewed by His Holy Spirit. This renewal is to be Born Again. The Synagogues of Jesus time were teaching life after a physical death; Jesus Christ was telling them life was eternal and there is no physical death. Very few experience the resurrected Christ within their consciousness because they do not practice unconditional forgiveness 70X7 in an attempt to love their enemies.
The bible states that even the elect will be deceived in the last days. The reason for this deception is the fear of God brought about by believing falsely about our Father for generations. When we are afraid of God we are afraid of the Father. Our Father is Jesus’ Father. Jesus Christ came to tell us that we are free. This freedom comes with a price. We must give up this world for the other, not by physical death but through a conscious transformation brought about by love. Eternal life is first the intellectual understanding that you cannot die. This intellectual understanding is brought about by reason attained by practicing unconditional forgiveness. Unconditional forgiveness gives you a Vision beyond the body.
The mind is the seer. These eyes cannot and will not see without changing your mind. The mind works in conjunction with the body although they are ‘”separate” because the body is a fabrication of the mind. When this is even dimly grasped it is life transforming. You come to realize that it is a thought that produces the body feelings that we do not like, a “fiery dart of the enemy” if you will. Body discomfort is aroused to show your need to surrender that thought to the Holy Spirit for correction. This is done by forgiving yourself for hurting yourself through your Higher Consciousness the Holy Spirit. Reminder: It is an inside transformation.
As you unconditionally forgive everyone more and more often in an attempt to experience the Kingdom of Heaven, at first by faith, you come to realize that their is an Intelligence that is Intelligent that is watching over you. Body discomfort is the personalized ego or conceptualize self trying to keep you in bondage or darkness. We react instead of BE, and this reaction is at first due to thought, then directed by emotion or feeling to the desired body outcome. This need not be. If we realized that by attacking our body by thought it was keeping us from the salvation of Christ or enlightenment we would pay no attention to harmful, scary or undesired thoughts. Especially when we have a Great Comforter in the Holy Spirit. He, the Holy Spirit, will remove all discomforting thoughts by our willingness to forgive ourselves first and then every-“body” else. If we refuse to forgive our self for past guilt, shame or any “wrong-doing” we are not accepting the salvation of Christ and being dishonest with ourselves.
This is spiritual pride or “blasphemy of the Holy Spirit”. Because the Holy Spirit CANNOT help us where we have used our free will to block His knowledge. Our will without the knowledge of the Holy Spirit is not good at best.
In conclusion when the mind is healed by love the Kingdom of Heaven is restored to that mind. And that mind is not separate from its Father’s Mind.
If you can mold it in your mind you will hold it in time When we come to realize just what Jesus Christ teaches we come to realize that we are in no way separate from God. He is accessible within our consciousness now. God wants us to know Him now, not after we “die”. Jesus Christ told us that if we will ask the Father for ANYTHING He will deliver, for that is the nature of a Loving Father to His Children.
