Actual Christianity

In this article you’ll find a crash course on some of the most important points and teachings of this blog with links to their respective articles.

• Believeth in Him (Jesus) meaning. There has been an oversimplification and misinterpretation of Jesus’ teachings and the directions he imparted due to the language and the meaning of words changing over time. In modern times, saying you ‘believe in someone’ implies you believe they are real or worship them. However, when this was written, ‘believe in someone’ only meant emulating them. This means a pre-requisite to enlightenment/spiritual awakening was not to worship Jesus, just actually following very easy benevolent instructions. So, yes, the people who hate members of the LGBT community or members of another political party are not “believing” in Jesus, knowing full well he taught to love thy neighbor and not to judge others. “Believe” has been a terrible word with awful implications that is partially responsible for misleading people in following the instructions to achieve a spiritual awakening.
• Once we experience a spiritual awakening and achieve self awareness, we are on a path guided by a greater will of the universe. Knowing Jesus had accomplished his, it’s completely fine to acknowledge Jesus surrendered to predetermined path to serve a purpose of teaching people how to surrender to the will of the universe and tap into the Holy Spirit. However, acknowledging he was his assigned purpose and successfully achieved this (he died for us) is not a step towards a spiritual awakening and salvation from our lower egoic consciousness, like many mainstream Christians believe. At no point, did he instruct anyone to believe he died for your sins, or any other statements. Rather, his directions and guidelines on how to live your life and tap into the Holy Spirit and loving others, treating them as your brothers instead of treating them as others in addition to all his other benevolent, peaceful and selfless teachings was the most critical and important part of his message.
• When tapping into the Holy Spirit, and declaring to our source and father “let thy will be done” in the Lord’s Prayer, it’s important to mean it when saying it. It’s not a statement that should be passively declared without meaning it 100% You are declaring that you are accepting the will of our father and whatever his purpose for is us, instead of our ego’s free will and desire for constant control of every aspect of our lives. This aspect of the prayer is not given enough attention when it’s taught in churches. You are asking the Holy Spirit for assistance as you yield to the will of our father. The Holy Spirit is our higher guide in life above our egos and free will.
• Far too many churches focus on declarative statements saying we need accept that Jesus died for us, which is not what Jesus taught his followers as a step towards a spiritual awakening, and not enough time is spent by pastors teaching us to follow the framework and roadmap on how to live our lives and pray. The focus is on instructions he never gave, but not on the actual instructions on leading an altruistic, benevolent and selfless life. It’s remarkable that such unfiltered and restrained hatred is possible by Christians in modern Christianity. I can only imagine that no focus is spent teaching people to love thy neighbor by ministers and pastors. In many cases it’s spent judging people on their lifestyles or missteps they’ve made in life. This is despite the teaching to not judge others.
• “God” tends to be a loaded/heavy word that turns off prospective followers of spirituality for understandable reasons. the word has been tainted by zealots, a better word to use is our (figurative) father or more literally and accurately, our source, the universe. It’s the ultimate greater universe that we are all part of and reflections of. For anyone who denies the existence of our greater father and source, you simply need to look up and around. it’s literally everything. The proof is available by opening your eyes.
