One of the reasons I began writing Tiger Lilies was to bridge the old thought of our ancient religions with the fresh late-breaking new age quantum spirituality that's being revealed almost everywhere, now.
I found so much of the new buried in the old and wanted to build bridges connecting the ancient with what really isn't new at all, only new to us on this side of the ice age. My goal was to offer those of us who grew up in the old religions a way to embrace the new, and authenticate and make relevant some of the old that too many intellectual scientific-minded people have discarded contemptuously. As we are evolving our consciousness and spirituality, so is our understanding of what the great ones before us tried to teach us. Then, we simply did not have ears to hear. Now, many of us, do. We have synergized the orthodoxy of mainline and Catholic Christianity with the newfound Gnostics, Yoga, Sufi, and Jewish Kabbalah, Hindu and Buddhism. As we mix and stir, we find a radiant something new - a bit of the old and yet something that speaks to all us, ringing deep through all the layers of our collective humanity.
There is no question that these days are that long promised second coming. There is no doubt to me that since we are ready, our teacher has come, returned. There is no doubt that Christ is speaking to whomever will listen and he is calling us all into a deeper and more honest relationship with the divinity that is within each and all of us, which stems from our Creator, the Source of Creation. Over the last couple of years, I've found these Christ Letters powerfully inspiring. This one, I thought I'd share with you, since it shows Christ's penchant for breaking open the coffins of thought in which we've buried ourselves. His oft reported radical nature still shines, even through these two millenia.
Thank you for being a part of the Tiger Lilies community and joining me, and all of us, on this journey of discovery. Feel free to share your thoughts.
Dear Readers of Christ's Letters,
In this excerpt taken from Letter 6 page 277 of 'Christ Returns Reveals Startling Truth', Christ discusses the origins of a belief in a 'Super Individual Godhead'.
Therefore, we will begin with a description of the origins of a belief in ‘God’, a name which has meant many different things to mankind. This belief began when the ancient Hebrews walked the desert plains and questioned the origins of creation. It was imagined that in some way the SOURCE of CREATION must surely be a ‘superhuman man-god’ invisible and far transcendent to earth and human kind. Some of the ancient prophets were mystically aware that theSource of Creation was diffuse and present – in some way – throughout creation and was also sited in the eternal dimension but this mysticism was not available to the average human mind.
You must also understand that, despite the present ‘seeming reality’ (in your minds) of such a ‘God’ from your readings in the Bible, no one has ever glimpsed such a ‘superhuman man-god’ in any form whatsoever, except, perhaps, Moses who claimed he saw Him in a ‘burning bush’ and described Himself as ‘I am that I am’.
All that people have known of such a super-human ‘god’ has been derived from reading the colourful descriptions of ‘God’ given by prophets during their sojourn on earth. It is a hallmark of how illusory are religious beliefs that religionists return only to the ancients for their ‘truth’ since they cannot believe that ‘God’ is truly real, eternal and equally able to speak to people in your day and age.
Your ministers are terrified of any beliefs which do not meld into the old ones. They never consider – or are afraid to consider – that perhaps spiritual knowledge within the earthly dimension – is evolutionary!
I want you to ‘see’ that a ‘fabric of belief’, a mixture of rationalisations and beliefs has been concocted to make a web of mental/emotional security with which to enmesh and trap the minds and hearts of people. All that people are taught in the Christian faith is emotionally-based and emanates from ‘hearsay’, derived from early reports of my life and death on earth. Yet these are believed fanatically.
Christians are taught that: ‘God is Love – and God is aware of your sin and punishes, disciplines, rewards the doers of good and sends misfortunes to the evil-doers’. This is an exact description of human activity and consciousness!
- Christ Returns, Letter 6
Comments from the Recorder:
There are several passages in different Letters, stating that no spiritual progress is achieved by retaining old beliefs along with the new truth contained in the Letters. Whilst sympathetically acknowledging that old beliefs are like concrete in the mind, Christ also urges people to do their best to get rid of old concepts and mental images depicting their image of God.
In these passages above, Christ tries to help people to dissolve such images by pointing out the illogicality of such beliefs.
However, Christ has also said that he knows how people have been conditioned by Churches to fear damnation if they entertain any doubts concerning Biblical pronouncements. This fear acts as a strong barrier against a practicing Christian's conversion to Christ's Letters.
But Christ's arguments are seen to be so logical and persuasive if one studies them sincerely, that it is only the most obtuse of thinkers who can remain true to Christian dogma. Such people will probably have to remain in their ignorance until they reincarnate into an enlightened thinking family.
With all love and joy in Christ,
Recorder
