 89. Jesus or Christ |
An individual has the possibility of vanquishing death and rising to the highest realms of being through the attraction of the Yang energy (pure consciousness) from the source of universal life. In order to accomplish this, he must dissolve his Yin energy (psychological egoic mentality) into the luminous substance from which his subtle essence has descended. In this realm of "being" he is permanently out of danger of relapsing into the cycle of rebirth. In this realm (enlightenment, the heaven within) it is no longer important to have the sense of an individual soul (ego) or spirits (moving energies ascending and descending) as the substance of one's life. For one's life is pure nature itself (universal consciousness, universal self, etc.). The constancy of the universe. It is essential to understand that an individual cannot remain who he is but must dissolve the form in which he has shaped himself during the course of living in the world, when the metamorphosis is complete. He may emerge into a new realm of being in which he is one with Tao (God). This is the culmination of his evolution into the realm of absolute and eternal freedom.
-Hua Hu Ching #70
Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see (understand) the kingdom of God.
-Jesus, John 3:3
That which is born of the flesh is flesh (the psychological ego) and that which is born of spirit is spirit (God-self-realization).
-Jesus, John 3:6
Do not marvel that I said to you, "You must be born again."
-Jesus, John 3:7
Most assuredly, I say to you, we speak what we know and testify what we have seen, and you do not receive "our witness" (have not received, or attained self-realization).
-Jesus, John 3:11
Worldly religion has social meaning when one is living in the world. When one moves one step out of the human sphere, all religious practices become useless. Religions (man-made) merely use hypnosis combined with psychological techniques to manipulate people's minds. When one leaves the human world and is set free from religious control, they may find that there has been no spiritual evolution.
-Hua Hu Ching, Chap. 78
But woe to you scribes and pharisees, hypocrites, for you shut up the kingdom of heaven against men (inner enlightenment, self realization) for you neither go "in" into yourselves (for the kingdom is within) nor do you allow those who are entering to go in (just about to learn the right method but lead them astray with exterior rules).
-Jesus, Matthew 23:13 and 14 to 39
My dear teacher, you have taught us that the primordial ancestors of the human race were one with Tao (God, and were self realized, in the form of self awareness prior to and inner witness to the outer body – mind, thoughts.) And that all of their activities were in harmony with the highest subtle law. Now, however, the worldly way and the spiritual way are no longer one. What is considered normal today was not the normalcy of the "integral beings" who lived in the very ancient times. As one grows in self awareness (actuality "returns" to SELF awareness) one's being evolves from the gross to the subtle, from heavy to light. The "mysterious discipline" (referred to as mysteries or eleusinian mysteries by the Greeks) of subtle energy refinement (meditation-cultivation) is the boundless treasure of the immortal beings. These mystical gems shall be shown to the one's who have completely dissolved the umbilical cord which binds theme to the "realm of duality." (The subject: object mentality when one is identified with the physical body-brain.)
