The real message from Jesus?
Updated: Jan 3, 2022
Jesus said, "I will give you what no eye has seen, what no ear has heard, what no hand has touched, what has not arisen in the human heart." (the Gospel of Thomas)
There is so much controversy regarding life and teachings of Jesus. Some people are even wondering, did he truly exist. Are all his teachings included in the bible? How is it that there are only four gospels in the bible, because it is a known fact that many other gospels exist. Last such discovered were Nag Hammadi documents found in Egipt in 1940. In those gospels Jesus is clearly stating that the Kingdom of heaven is within you....:
3 Jesus said, "If your leaders say to you, 'Look, the (Father's) imperial rule is in the sky,' then the birds of the sky will precede you. 2 If they say to you, 'It is in the sea,' then the fish will precede you. 3 Rather, the (Father's) imperial rule is inside you and outside you. 4 When you know yourselves, then you will be known, and you will understand that you are children of the living Father. 5 But if you do not know yourselves, then you live in poverty, and you are the poverty."
How is this statement connected to the fact that those gospels were deliberately omitted from the bible? I leave this to the reader to contemplate and think about...
But what is the Kigdom of heaven? What is Jesus giving us, that has not arisen it the human heart? In order to find this, just stop. Do not follow your thoughts. Let everything become very still....then sink deep within yourself. It will be very scary, I promise you that. And you will have to face lots of darkness and despair. But when you sink all the way to the bottom you will discover something. Something that is not a "thing". That which does not come and go and is always here.....it is so simple and obvious, that is why it is overlooked. It is not separate form you....
I am that I AM sums it all....Not only Christianity, all religions are speaking about THAT at their core. Hinduism, Islam, Buddhism, Taoism, Advaida Vedanta... Look deep into any religion and you will find this message. Jesus was not a christian and Buddha was not a buddhist. They were just human beings like you, but they realised who they are at their core.....they were pointing to THAT. And people, instead of looking within to find THAT, they started following them and so created modern religion. However, I feel gratitude and appreciation for that, because this message was preserved in this way and the Truth is lying just beneath the surface....of lying:)....we only have to look within. And then we will see that there is no difference between within and without, between me an you...
What remains, when all our ideas collapse?
