The Origins of Christianity and
the Quest for the Historical Jesus Christ
by Acharya S
Introduction
”Around the world over the centuries, much has been written about religion, its meaning, its relevance and contribution to humanity. In the West particularly, sizable tomes have been composed speculating upon the nature and historical background of the main character of Western religions, Jesus Christ. Many have tried to dig into the precious few clues as to Jesus’s identity and come up with a biographical sketch that either bolsters faith or reveals a more human side of this godma ... read more The Visitation 18 y
Goddess Real-ised
Last month, (April/06)-
I was rushed to emergency because I stared bleeding internally after my 6th self administered interferon injection.
My hemoglobin was so low, i was near death. So, off I go in the ambulance.
They hooked me up to intravenous and gave me 4 units of blood, which took 24 hours. I awoke around 12 AM, puking my guts out and I went into convulsions. I hate puking, and all I wanted was somebody to touch my shoulder and tell me it was ok to do. A male night nurse came into my room and gave me two receptacles to vomit in.
He left, but he was so kind it did help a little ... read more My Hep C Update 18 y
hep c and me...
May 9/06
The doctors are monitoring my blood levels every week now. It seems that things are definitely improving for me!
Whether i am simply ’in the eye of the hurricane’ and bound for more suffering ahead, or not..........
(Perhaps the four units of blood I was given, untainted by the virus, of course, has given me a new lease on life, along with the Colloidal Silver and other supplements I am taking...)
Regardless; I have decided that I will NOT be using Interferon again. If I must die, it will be from the disease. Not from the side-effects of that awful poison that the medi ... read more The cause of human suffering and conflict 18 y
the path home
”The cause of human suffering and conflict is our commitment to the illusions we call values, morals and ethics. Values, morals and ethics do not exist outside of our cultural- existential minds. They do not exist in reality and are therefore a figment of our culturally and existentially indoctrinated imagination. We believe or think values exist when in fact they do not. This describes the schizophrenic mind. The schizophrenic mind is separated from reality and centered in unreality or what psychologists call fantasy, believing this fantasy to be real. Cultural/existential humanity ex ... read more Waking Up 18 y
the awakening process
From the Book ”How to Practice Radical Spirituality” by Dick Sutphen
”There are thousands of metaphysical, and guru-led organizations in this world, and they agree upon very little but karma and reincarnation. Radical Spirituality accepts these concepts and the human potential logic handed down from Zen to modern-day psychotherapists. You don’t need much else to guide you down a powerful path. The rest is smoke and mirrors and complicates your quest.”
”THE FOLLOWING 69 REMINDERS SUMMARIZE THE PATH.”
”1.Your earthly purpose is to intergrate your fear- based emotions. Doing so ... read more Baked Ham 18 y
Family Tradition
The young girl watched her mother prepare a baked ham for the family dinner.
She observed as her mom seasoned the meat, pre-heated the oven, and then, just before placing the ham in the roasting pan, she took a long, sharp knife and sliced off the end of the ham.
After placing it in the oven, she wiped her hands and turned to her daughter. ’There’ stated mother,’now you know how to prepare a ham the way our family has done for many generations now.’
The daughter looked puzzled. ’What is it, dear?’ Asked mother, ’is there something you don’t understand?’
’Well’ the youngster hesit ... read more Resentment 18 y
the end of war
Many women claim they resent how they have been ’controlled’ by men for so long. But they realised, long ago, how they could easily manipulate men by simple opening or closing their legs. Many men are simply terrified of women-or being rejected by them, more likely-this can easily lead to blaming women and is also a poor substitute for truth.
It was a survival need, of course, and there should be no blame placed for men and women doing whatever they could to get their needs met. Similarly, many critisise the ’christian fathers’ for usurping the Goddess and twisting people’s minds’ to be ... read more Humility 18 y
life on earth
It is a fact that there is not ONE ecosystem, not ONE life form that relies upon human existence on this planet.
If we were to lose just the earthworms or just the bees, ALL life would end on earth.
If humans disappeared, the earth would flourish, unhindered and free of our indiscretions.
If the contemplation of this does not instill humility in a human being,
they are seriously lacking in their comprehension and perhaps should
think about waking up.
A different world cannot be built by indifferent people.

awakening from the dream
We ’fall’ in love as our true selves know it is the gateway to Real Love;
The recognition of our one-ness with All beings everywhere. When we feel that, we have begun to awaken. when we have no doubt of our oneness, we have awakened.
Too many pay ’lip service’ to the concept of oneness. They like the idea and pretend to ’buy’ it, perhaps to fit in-or appear ’different’, unique- or to get attention.
Continuing to believe that you are just this body and nothing more, will keep the darkness around you.
Why does it feel so good to walk the path of Real LOVE?
Because when we return to our ... read more Facing Reality 18 y

The way of the Ancients returns!
Since embracing the Goddess energy, I have been guided to this, the Kybalion, which expresses to me the perfect and most appropriate perceptions of reality that I have yet to find. I feel ’closer to Home’ now than at any time in my life! Bless the Goddess!!
”The Universe is Mental--held in the Mind of THE ALL.” --
-The Kybalion
”THE ALL is SPIRIT! But what is Spirit? This question cannot be answered, for the reason that its definition is practically that of THE ALL, which cannot be explained or defined. Spirit is simply a name that men give to the highest conception of Infinite ... read more Meditation Alpha 18 y
meditation guide
Relax, sit upright, but comfortably. Breathe deeply through your nose, allowing the lower torso to expand first, as you inhale, the chest second. Let the entire torso relax and release as you exhale. Let go of tension in your back, stomach, chest, shoulders and face. Use the least amount of effort to maintain a comfortable, but relaxed, position and posture. Slow, soften and deepen the breath, gradually.
Look at the image below for a few minutes. No judgement, no mental calisthenics. Imagine your thoughts are like wispy clouds in the spring sky.

Excerpts
“There seem to two kinds of searchers: those who seek to make their ego something other than it is, i.e. holy, happy, unselfish (as though you could make a fish unfish), and those who understand that all such attempts are just gesticulation and play-acting, that there is only one thing that can be done, which is to disidentify themselves with the ego, by realising its unreality, and by becoming aware of their eternal identity with pure being.”

awakening from the dream
Rage’s Absence
when we silence
the raging mind’s
babbling stream-
we awaken
in wordless wonder
from the dream
the field of silence
is always here
it is we who are absent
lost in our fear
’Death’
We Exist simultaneously on ALL levels of the Multiverse.
Our Souls are present on ALL LEVELS at ALL ’TIMES’ -(there is no such thing as ’time’ in the Greater {‘Higher Vibration’} Realities)-
Here, on this level, our immersion into matter prevents us from perceiving the other levels due to the dense and heavy characteristics of matter. What we perceive as ’death’ is simpl ... read more Illusion Confusion 18 y
confusion of the illusion
Time and Space are the same (’illusion’) from our
perspective....
Time is measured by the movement of heavenly bodies
through SPACE-
The low vibration on the matter level
of the Multiverse makes gravity possible,
duality, movement, fire, atmosphere and moisture makes life rise, conditions permitting....
We say ’time is an illusion’ but, we can’t really ’know’ that until we are conscious of being on the higher levels. In the ’big’ picture, as oppossed to our human, ’small’ picture.. on the higher levels of energetics, time and space are equally non-existant, to our human perceptions, ... read more |
