| After years of searching, learning and growing | | | | was teaching in many ways on the law of attraction |
| spiritually I came to a realization one day when reading | | | | and other new age concepts! Until recently there was |
| the bible on a hunch that I had. I had this hunch after | | | | not a lot of mainstream literature on the law of |
| developing my school of thought based on the law of | | | | attraction and other new age concepts like |
| attraction and that all things in the universe are | | | | reincarnation, channeling and our multi-dimensional |
| connected. I asked myself the question, what if we | | | | existence. Channeling was not something Jesus did |
| really misunderstood what Jesus was teaching? My | | | | spoke on specifically but the bible is full of references |
| hunch was confirmed when I started looking in depth | | | | to channeled information. See Moses and the burning |
| at the gospels. I realized that Jesus was the first new | | | | bush as one example of channeling your higher self. I |
| age guru! I was a person that grew up in a family that | | | | have no doubt that Jesus and his teachings were the |
| was deeply religious. Many in my extended family | | | | tip of the iceberg as far as what we consider new |
| believed that the bible and its teachings were the word | | | | age thought in this day and age. He was |
| of God. | | | | misunderstood often by the people of his times. Even |
| They believed that the bible was whole, without error | | | | his disciples did not always understand what Jesus |
| and the ultimate dissertation on salvation. I know that | | | | was trying to teach. This was because in many |
| the people in my family were just like many in your | | | | instances Jesus was teaching his lesson in parables. |
| family and many families around the world when it | | | | He would oftentimes speak figuratively. I will reference |
| came to Christian beliefs and what it meant to be a | | | | the New International Version bible because for me it is |
| Christian. When I was young I believed as I was taught | | | | easy to understand and in today's English. I swear my |
| by my family. I did not learn what it meant to be | | | | family thought the King James version of the bible was |
| Christian for me. As I grew older a number of things | | | | the holiest translation because of the word "thou". I |
| about how I was taught just did not sit well with me. I | | | | think it was because Charleton Hesston used it so cool |
| turned away from Christianity and religion in general. | | | | in the movie "The Ten Commandments". |
| Religious dogma is destructive to humanity. No religious | | | | In the New International Version bible John 16:25 Jesus |
| dogma has encompassed all of mankind. | | | | says to his disciples, "Though I have been speaking |
| Every religion had many things that were similar, but of | | | | figuratively, a time is coming when I will no longer use |
| course the differences were highlighted and if you did | | | | this kind of language but will tell you plainly about my |
| not subscribe to the belief you were an outsider and | | | | father." My premise is that Jesus has been |
| therefore condemned in some fashion. I know this to | | | | misunderstood. Until lately we did not have any other |
| be true specifically of Christianity because that is what | | | | teaching in the mainstream literature to analyze what |
| I grew up being taught and what ultimately destroyed | | | | Jesus was teaching. Jesus had many instances when |
| familial bonds. People were passionate about their | | | | he spoke about the law of attraction in a figurative |
| Jesus in my family. it got so bad in my family that you | | | | sense. In Matthew 12:35 Jesus says, "The good man |
| could get excommunicated for as little as eating a | | | | brings good things out of the good stored up in him, |
| snickers (at the right time eating one can be a spiritual | | | | and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored |
| revelation) on Sunday! We weren't even catholic! Ok, | | | | up in him." In other words what you put out is what you |
| I'm kidding about that, but it was pretty bad. We could | | | | get back. Classic law of attraction! Once you look at |
| not have a family picnic without somebody arguing | | | | things from the view of what is described at new age |
| over how the food was blessed. Me and the other | | | | teachings you can unlock the codes of Jesus. I will be |
| kids just wanted to eat! Knowing "MY JESUS" was a | | | | expounding on many of these teachings and others in |
| serious thing in my family. | | | | my forthcoming blog. I hope that you will visit and |
| With that said I have reread the gospels and the | | | | expound on your take of the new age and the original |
| professed teachings of Jesus and realized that Jesus | | | | guru, Jesus of Nazareth. |
