Actual Christianity

I recall my upbringing in a devout household, the concepts of the Holy Spirit and the true nature of God were not adequately explained. Proper explanation of these ideas during youth would have lead to prayers yielding actual results, fostering greater belief and fewer skeptics or atheists. The trinity is also a declaration of non duality being truth. Our absolute oneness with the universe.

In this context:

• The Father equates to the Universe, encompassing all existence. The terms ‘God’ and ‘Universe’ are interchangeable, signifying our inherent unity with all that exists.
• “The Son” in traditional Christianity refers to Jesus, who followed a predetermined path to teach us how to reconnect with the Universe through the Holy Spirit. Jesus never made any demands to be worshiped; instead, he taught that we are all ‘children’ of God, metaphorically describing himself as a product of the Universe rather than the exclusive or sole offspring of God our father. A more accurate definition of “The Son” in the context of the Holy Trinity, would be that it is describing all of us, collectively.

Regrettably, churches often overlook the fact that Jesus did not claim to be the exclusive Son of God and that he did not teach others to worship him. He affirmed that we all share in the divine connection with the Universe. He taught that we are all our Father’s children.

Jesus emphasized our shared identity as children of God, contradicting the misconception that he alone was God’s son for two millennia. This misinterpretation stems from Jesus’ metaphorical language, wherein terms like Father and Son symbolize our inseparable unity with the Universe, emphasizing equality and unity over separation, contrary to the illusions of ego.

While modern interpretations may deem it blasphemous to assert that we are all children of God, Jesus explicitly taught this inherent equality. Embracing this truth is not an act of ego but a recognition of our unity with the divine, a concept Jesus underscored in his teachings (John 10:34).

Furthermore, Jesus prayed before his crucifixion, expressing his mission to impart the knowledge necessary for all to attain the same higher consciousness he embodied (John 17:22). His statement that we are made in the image of God reinforces our divine connection and oneness, challenging ego-driven perceptions of individuality and separation.

Ultimately, acknowledging ourselves as children of God affirms our unity with the Universe, echoing Jesus’ teachings and guiding us towards spiritual enlightenment.”

“We’re all God in disguise. Jesus found that out, and they crucified him for saying so”
-Alan Watts

Maintaining an attachment to our individuality and the belief in separation directly contradicts the teachings of Jesus, which emphasize our inherent unity with all existence, including God/the universe and our fellow human beings, with whom we are fundamentally interconnected.

For those who might view this perspective as controversial, it is important to clarify that recognizing our unity with the universe does not diminish Jesus’ significance in history. He unequivocally followed a path predetermined by the Universe/God, serving as a conduit to guide humanity towards awakening to our true reality and connection to all that exists. Each individual has a unique purpose and path once they willingly surrender to the universe and the Holy Spirit.

Jesus lived a life ordained by God/The Universe. By surrendering control to the Holy Spirit, he remained aligned with the higher purpose set forth by the divine intelligence of God/The Holy Spirit. Jesus fulfilled the Universe’s intent by teaching us how to transcend our ego-driven consciousness through alignment with the Holy Spirit. It is reasonable to assert that the conclusion of his life was purposeful and predetermined, serving to amplify and disseminate his message. Yet, without fully comprehending or practicing his teachings—particularly the imperative of yielding to the Holy Spirit—people risk misunderstanding his true message. While acknowledging and appreciating his sacrifice is crucial, spiritual development hinges on prioritizing the Holy Spirit in meditation and prayer, as Jesus instructed, rather than prayer towards himself.

Moreover, Jesus did not establish organized religions or churches, as such structures would have fostered division contrary to his teachings of unity among humanity. While communal gatherings are beneficial, the creation of organized religions would have contradicted his emphasis on unity.

The term ‘Holy Spirit,’ coined by Jesus, denotes another aspect of the universe—akin to ‘the spirit of God’ or ‘the spirit of the universe.’ In contemporary terms, it could be viewed as the pervasive energy field that unifies and permeates all existence, binding us together as one. This universal energy not only surrounds us but also resides within each of us. It embodies the pure love of the universe, accessible to anyone who relinquishes ego consciousness and invites the spirit of the universe to guide their lives.

For those with a scientific mindset, it is unnecessary to rely solely on spiritual assertions about tapping into a pervasive universal force. One can experiment with and verify its existence through personal practice. Directing prayers and meditations towards the spirit of God/universe aligns one’s intention with the energy or force confirmed by future scientific discoveries. This understanding resonates with the concept described in Hinduism as ‘paramatma,’ the Supersoul present within all living beings, witnessing and embodying knowledge, remembrance, and forgetfulness.

In due course, science may validate the existence of this ‘Holy Spirit’ or ‘Quantum Field,’ affirming the foresight of Jesus and other spiritual leaders millennia ago. Jesus referred to this sentient energy or universal presence as essential to connecting and guiding us through life, once we surrender our egoic control.

Jesus’ parable of the prodigal son illustrates that we are never completely disconnected from the quantum field, which he termed the Holy Spirit. Regardless of denial, attachment to ego, or inflated sense of self-importance, access to this Holy Spirit remains constant. During times of neglect or ignorance, we can always return to rely on it instead of our egos. It pervades all of us, connecting us through its essence as the quantum field of the universe.

Using symbolism, Jesus described our bodies as temples to the Holy Spirit, signifying the continuous presence of the spirit of the Universe/God within each of us. Affirming and acknowledging this reality in prayers and meditations enables us to access the spirit of God within us, impacting our lives whether we consciously acknowledge it or not. This inner connection with the spirit of the universe represents the metaphorical ‘gateway’ to ‘Heaven’ or Christ consciousness, achievable in the present rather than awaiting a future afterlife.

In essence, the universe embodies pure love, and each of us manifests as human incarnations of that love. The quantum field surrounding us represents another facet of the universe—a field imperceptible to our physical senses yet ever-present. Those who doubt its existence are encouraged to explore and experience it firsthand.
