One text, however, did predict that Jesus would be born between 6BC and 3AD, by utilizing OT prophesies. Not bad, considering Jesus was born 3BC. To assert that Jesus was not an historical figure requires that all extrabiblical texts about Christ be ignored. Evrn the atheist scholars refuse to do this. They KNOW He was a real person. They simply debate Jesus' divinity. |

He’s not the only one who believed Jesus was a spirit and never existed in the flesh. I prefer to think of Jesus is the spirit wasn’t crucified by his father as a blood sacrifice for the forgiveness of sins. It’s nonsense story doesn’t make any sense whatsoever. None. |

I prefer to think of Jesus is the spirit wasn’t crucified by his father as a blood sacrifice for the forgiveness of sins. It’s nonsense story doesn’t make any sense whatsoever. None. Agree... It didn't happen, at least not in the way it was described... They used real life references to describe the spiritual inner workings of man and illustrate a narrative that gives insight into the relationship between the universe and man. As above so below... Or, on earth as it is in heaven. Jesus is basically a representation of what a holy man would experience when coming out and declaring his own divinity. It represents the path that one travels during the awakening process. Jesus could have been a real man, and embodies the principles that were then written down into a narrative to describe the lifecycle of everyone. Jesus said he is out brother, meaning he is just like us, but the Christ that lives in him, also dwells in us, when we become born again. Its a story of reawakening to the divinity within, and he is our guide to follow |

The serpent energy (related to cerebral spinal fluid)... That energy can be good or bad depending on how it's directed. The Christ is a stable resonant frequency that comes into being when the pinael gland is activated. It resets and reorients the brain chemistry and synapsis. Basically the god center of the brain becomes more active and then one begins to experience the supernatural. When that energy activates the brain in that way, there becomes a stable diffusion of energy and when one enters Into that mindset, above thought, then they enter in and become the Christ and a Christ... One with the all and one with the self... A wheel within a wheel or a Christ within a Christ... As above, so below, on earth as it is in heaven... The two become one because they now resonate in harmony... Magic mushrooms also activate the god center of rhe brain and cause bounderies to dissolve Its a story of reawakening to the divinity within, and he is our guide to follow |

How could the limited ever explain or comprehend the unlimited? Yet fools try. It's another example of 'reductionism' to reduce religion to mushrooms, or to crazy people. Likewise it's reductionism to reduce infinity to finite parts. Eg. like we reduce time to hours, hours to minutes, minutes to seconds, seconds to micro-seconds, micro-seconds to Planck-time, or Chronons, or Zepto-seconds or idk what all. Reality is a whole. (holy) Our ego-consciousness however needs to experience it in parts. We call it mundane life. But if infinite-reality is 'whole', then the infinite is in the parts too. The mushrooms are symbolic of this in that they each resemble the whole; the individual and the whole (species). Jesus said, "I and my Father are One." |

If we are "made in the image of God", then mushrooms symbolize this in that each individual mushroom is an image of the whole species itself. In Genesis God creates the heavens and the Earth. Then in Gen. 3 there is a fall of man. The fall of man allegory represents separation from God, or the breaking apart from wholeness into individuality. Breaking down is also known as corruption. The German word 'Zerfall' means decay. (like how atoms decay into more stable elements over time.) In the communion service the priest breaks the bread. The bread is a round loaf which is separated and distributed to the faithful. The breaking of the bread and the eating of it bring us back to wholeness with Christ. The chalice contains the blood of Christ. Each sip of the content wine = a fraction of the whole content. The whole isn't permanently fractured since all the fractions = the whole. The original is still there in the parts. |

And many of them also read the OT prophecies in some regard and calculated the time. |

Jenkins called the Sacred Mushroom and the Cross "possibly the single most ludicrous book on Jesus scholarship by a qualified academic".[32] Based on the reactions to the book, Allegro's publisher later apologized for issuing the book and Allegro was forced to resign his academic post.[25][30] [link to en.wikipedia.org (secure)] MOFA - Make Orwell Fiction Again |
