Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord
Thou shalt not speak of Jesus
First thing to clarify is that we don’t really know much about this man that lived some 2000 years ago.
What has come to us are stories, myths and legends modified and edited one way or the other to please a doctrine and dogma. A lot of words and theories which most likely did not come from Jesus directly, but are coming instead from the politics and power plays of the lesser people which came after him.
Sure enough there might be ways to attain more or less direct accounts of the life of Jesus by means of akashic records (which are however classified and not accessible to the average soul), or through very rare past life regression opportunities.
Generally speaking, the True life and facts about Jesus are shrouded in mystery, it is therefore a sin of hubris, to use the name of this great man to push through personal opinions or agendas.
Fully aware of the risks we just discussed, we shall take our chances and express some concepts or opinions that might have fit the character.
This information, not coming from reliable historical sources (none being de facto available), is in ultimately a collage of different tales and legends, mostly apocryphal ones, intended to inspire the reader.
Lesson 1: Karma
First possible probable lesson from Jesus that is hidden in the gospels behind a plethora of miracles and other razzle dazzle techniques is the plain law of karma in his neutral form:
What you do to the others will be done unto you.
It is not like you are not supposed to ambush and pillage your neighbors, friends or frienemies. It is just plain statistic that sooner or later people around you will take notice and eventually defend themselves from your aggressions, potentially put you in your place for good where you cannot cause trouble anymore.
Likewise if you are good at helping and cooperating with people around you, chances are you will be elevated within the social ladder and your efforts and attitude recognized.
Sure the Devil brough Time into this dimension, to create a delay between an action and its consequence, so that humans might be confused why some do good but still get back luck and the other way round, but alas, this is another story.
Lesson 2: The dark night of the Soul
Few concepts that might have been explored between Jesus and his closest followers is the Gnosis and A-Gnosis.
Gnosis being the belief that a hidden knowledge might be available to elevate men into a God like state of bliss and serendipity, and become a Super Man and King among all creatures that roam the Earth!
On the opposite side of the boxing ring we have agnosticism and the doubt that there might not be any such thing as God after all.
Sure enough there are cases of regressed memories and past lives that might suggest as a minimum the existence of a genetic level memory mechanism, or even a specie level Jung collective Subconscious memory field of some sort but the skeptic remains that we might just die and dissolve into nothing.
If this is indeed the case then all these thoughts of spirituality and God and divine justice might not be anything else but some ingrained genetic belief mechanisms required to protect and repair the mind of people when they undergo traumas such as famine, disasters, losses, etc.
These genetic origin mental beliefs are meant to repair and restore the human mind back to a functional state, to prevent it from spiraling into despair, depression, etc, thus allowing for the possibility of such “repaired” person to eventually find a mate and get to breed and pass on this useful genetic imprinting onward onto the specie.
Because of said genetic imprinting in our brains, all impinging a certain “character” upon our personality and behaviors, we now have a full set of archetypes or actors that wish to live and express themselves in our real lives.
Could it be that Jesus himself had been “possessed” for lack of better terms, by a new type of archetype (or maybe just a very ancient one)?
Regardless of what the answer to this might be, it left an indelible mark upon the subconscious of mankind and his image and life example is now part of our collective mind, often used to self inspire ourselves during periods of hardship, overcome our limits and survive through the Dark Night of the Soul like Jesus did when he knew and then accepted is fate and path to the cross.
In this case the lesson is:
Embrace your archetype, let him free to express through you.
Lesson 3: Happy wife, happy life
Could it have been that Jesus was in fact a married man and also had biological children?
Could it be that Jesus himself had brothers from Mary, his biological mother?
This is a long blasphemous alternative story of Jesus life, since one of the pillars of the Church (made by men, not by Jesus, nor by God), is that sex and the “wet things” in general are bad, something to stay away as much as possible.
The possibility that the Son of God himself might have entertained genetically ingrained breeding behaviors is blasphemous, or at least this is the official position of Christianity.
A possibility is that Saul/Paulus, the founding father of the Catholic Church, was in fact nothing more than a man caught in a power play to try make a name for himself by riding the wave of the miraculous Jesus, which he never even met in the flesh.
There is also the suspect that Paulus might have been homosexual and desperately trying to conceal and repress this aspect of his persona.
After all we must not forget that civilizations of the Mediterranean basin of those times were not nearly as liberal as modern Canada, nor as libertine as ancient Sodom! It might have been imperative back then to conceal such “deviant” sexual traits with subsequent fragmentation and neurosis that might ensue from such emotional stall.
If we dare to guess Jesus thoughts and opinions on such things, we might just say this:
Honor your body.
The Soul learns by being and living in this dimension, it is therefore quite important to maintain the fleshy container in optimal state of maintenance and sustenance, and this is goes for the mind too!
Besides the human body is the sum of all the genetic lessons imprinted from the lives that came before ours, and we therefore must find a way to work along with the instincts that work within the human body and mind.
Beware that embracing our instincts doesn’t mean it is a free bar where everything goes (remember lesson 1!), but there is much more latitude for enjoying life and also the bodily pleasures without too many paranoias, whilst still striving to correct the more unruly emotions and traits which might cause harm to the people around us.
