If above all else, truth is what is most important to a person, then being wrong should be inviting. Even though we think we have become aware of something profound, we will walk through another, and yet another doorway until the christ is not only in us, but we become the christ. If we try not to make an idol of profoundness itself, we will not stand in our own way of the next evolution of our thought process and mental maturity. When we can make jesus disappear is when we will know him best. This means that the language of the christ will have become our own because we experience the truth behind our words. The words will no longer be babble and remain idle where they lay, the breath of life will be forever in them. It is said that when we meet the Buddha, we kill the Buddha. This is a profound parable. If this doesn’t make sense, challenge yourself to first make the things I say here true in your mind, then decide for yourself, armed with more then a single perception. Forcing ourselves to not just hear, but understand someone elses perspective takes us out of our conditioned prison.
Perception makes projection.
The parables of jesus are to walk us through mental processes that eventually lead to our freedom and peace of mind, but until we observe our own thoughts and manifested behavior, we wont know we are in the prison of our own mind. We wont see it because it is us who constructed it and our ego will not want to see it as being wrong. If we walk in the footsteps of christ, he will bear the sins of our brothers and of us through a stage. When we walk “as” the christ, the way jesus is teaching us to do, we will no longer see sin and sinners, we will see innocent unawareness. We will know what is behind our intentions. We will forgive “us” our trespasses “as” we forgive those who trespass against us. In other words jesus teaches us awareness to see projection. When we observe our behavior and notice that each time we have made a mistake, it was because we didnt know the better, healthier mental choice to make. We were innocent and always have been and so is our brothers. At the very same time we see our innocence, and we stop projecting guilt onto the world. We see ourselves as equils. We do onto others as we would have them do to us. This allows us to see that others are merely projecting just as we have. If we had the experiences and thoughts of a murderer, we would murder. Jesus begs us to not disclude anyone or situation from our forgiveness. Paul wanted nothing more than the death of christ. When Paul changed his way of thinking it was because his way of thinking had never been challenged before until then. He lost his sight and regained another. He was forced to see reality from a different perspective. He humbled himself and prostrated to the christ in seeing a new truth. He needed to see reality differently.
The ancient word sin was used in archery and was meant to denote missing the target or mark. When we miss the mark we are not seeing the truth of things. We are “sinning.” We have come quite a distance in maturing our minds through the teachings of the christ, along with other giants who’s shoulders we stand, many of whom teach that each being has within them the kingdom of heaven, not a place to arrive at, but a decision to come to. When peace flows from us, peace flows back to us. To the pure “All” things are pure. Let your light shine before men.
