“SOMEBODY ought to tell the truth about the Bible. The preachers dare not, because they would be driven from their pulpits. Professors in colleges dare not, because they would lose their salaries. Politicians dare not. They would be defeated. Editors dare not. They would lose subscribers. Merchants dare not, because they might lose customers. Men of fashion dare not, fearing that they would lose caste. Even clerks dare not, because they might be discharged. And so I thought I would do it myself.

There are many millions of people who believe the Bible to be the inspired word of God—millions who think that this book is staff and guide, counselor and consoler; that it fills the present with peace and the future with hope—millions who believe that it is the fountain of law, justice and mercy, and that to its wise and benign teachings the world is indebted for its liberty, wealth and civilization—millions who imagine that this book is a revelation from the wisdom and love of God to the brain and heart of man—millions who regard this book as a torch that conquers the darkness of death, and pours its radiance on another world—a world without a tear.

They forget its ignorance and savagery, its hatred of liberty, its religious persecution; they remember heaven, but they forget the dungeon of eternal pain.

They forget that it imprisons the brain and corrupts the heart. They forget that it is the enemy of intellectual freedom. Liberty is my religion. Liberty of hand and brain—of thought and labor.

Liberty is a word hated by kings—loathed by popes. It is a word that shatters thrones and altars—that leaves the crowned without subjects, and the outstretched hand of superstition without alms. Liberty is the blossom and fruit of justice—the perfume of mercy. Liberty is the seed and soil, the air and light, the dew and rain of progress, love and joy.”

To be set free from the Literalist Christian chains constricting one to the Bible as a prison is one of the first steps to authenticity.. To really innerstanding who we are. The Bible is CODE.
On many levels.
We are One.
The Bible characters are allegories representing what we can be. And ascended masters in the past. And that we are all capable. But we must do the work.
And the Religious Institution Buildings (RIBs for short lol) direct us towards FALSE WORKS that do not help us.
When we EACH know how to do the physical , mental and spiritual work we will be limitless.
And Love, Truth, Light and Unity will abound.

The Word of God can come to you at any time through any Brother or Sister. It can come through Nature, and through Joy. It also comes through sorrow and pain. Through the profound and the profane.
It comes through your body and your intuition. It comes through synchronicity and miracles.

You are immersed in it. Understand this and you will begin to feel it in every moment of your day.

The very air you breathe is the Breath of God and wherever you place your feet is Holy Ground.

You are the word of God made flesh.

You are the Universe having an encounter.

You are stardust...which is also crystalized light.

That's is what you are.

WHO you are....

"I AM" is a whole other story. Literally and conceptually and spectacularly.

I’m going to try to articulate something that occurred to me today. I may not do it very well but it feels important and I think it needs to go out as is. I will tweak it more later. Here goes…

You cannot truly LIVE until you learn to LOVE yourSelf.

It’s no coincidence that you need an “I” to turn LOVE into LIVE. You need to Love the “I”, the Being that is You, in order to be capable of Loving anything outside of You because you cannot offer outwardly what you do not actually possess inwardly. You can’t offer what you don’t have.

The “O” is the all encompassing energy of Unity. The “I” can be described as the Self and the input of 1 (one). I think of “1” as being the “ON” signal. Think binary code. Ones and zeroes.
1 is the activation code for an energy. 0 is the potential energy that exists. It’s not nothing, it just hasn’t been channeled into a specific use yet.

In the Tarot deck, 1 is The Magician - the number of new beginnings and creation. He is the connection between spiritual and material realms. In essence, he is YOU — the connection point between Heaven and Earth.
The transducer of energy.

In numerology, 1 is the number of creation because all else stems from it. Without 1, nothing else can follow.
And without “I” or “1” in my life, nothing else can be created because I AM the center of my own universe. Without me, there is nothing for me to experience and hence, nothing exists. I am the activation code for my LIFE.

Let’s look at the O too, shall we? The circle is the symbol of the All. If we do the same as we did with 1 here and look at the letter as a number, “O” would be 0. Zero represents infinite possibility. In numerology it points to God, and specifically God as an infinite force that is nowhere and everywhere simultaneously. THE ALL. Infinite Potential.

So back to the “coincidence” of the letters in LOVE and LIVE. I must Love the “I” in order to Love The All or O. The 1 is needed to activate the 0.

So, you absolutely must learn to LOVE yourself UNCONDITIONALLY before you will be able to activate and to offer that frequency to anyone else.
That requires introspection.
That requires true Forgiveness.
That requires a deep understanding of who and what you are at your core.

You are a fractal of God (Infinite Potential) living out a life down here through a specific filter or persona. Once you see things that way, does it not become a bit easier to LOVE yourSelf? Do you see then, that Loving yourSelf IS Loving God?
(And, likewise, hating or condemning yourSelf is an AntiChrist aka Evil energy?)

Deuteronomy 6:5 KJVS
And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.

If I learn to Love myself, I apply the activation code of 1 to Love and I graduate into being able to LOVE and I therefore learn to LIVE— here, on Earth in this experience.

But here’s another “coincidence”…

If I do not learn to do this. If I do not Love mySelf, my “I”, with all my Heart, Soul and might…
Am I not then living an inverted life? Am I not then blaspheming against Creation and becoming the inversion of LIVE?

LIVE <—> EVIL

Evil is the act of NOT Living and of denying the Divinity within the Self and others.

THIS is what has been stolen from humanity: the knowledge of self. The understanding of what we are is essential to being able to fully activate ourselves.

It is key to accessing the activation code - perhaps this is where the Golden Number or phi, Φ comes from. The overlay of O and I, of 0 and 1.
The convergence of the ALL and the Individual.
Not separate.
Never were.
We just thought we were.

And then there’s this little tidbit (emphasis added):

It may be that phi originated as the letter qoppa (Ϙ, ϙ), and initially represented the sound /kʷʰ/ before shifting to Classical Greek [pʰ].[2] In traditional Greek numerals, phi has a value of 500 (φʹ) or 500,000 (͵φ). The Cyrillic letter Ef (Ф, ф) descends from phi.

“Gods are mortal men, and men are immortal gods” — Heraclitus

The Gnostics taught that although we appear to be mortal human beings, we are actually immortal gods, or heavenly angels. On the circumference of the circle of Self we appear to be human beings, but at the centre we are gods or angels.

The ancients compared our essential godlike nature to an eternal star, ever luminous in the heavens.

Plato writes: “When the Creator had compounded the whole He divided it into as many souls as there are stars and allotted each soul a star. And the one who lives his appointed time well will travel again to this state and live a blessed life according to his true nature.” Plotinus, likewise, teaches that we are all ‘eternal stars,’ explaining: “A star is the representative generated by each soul when it enters the cosmos.”

Jesus’ mission is to remind us of our true angelic or godlike nature, symbolized by an eternal star, to guide us to the safety of our true home in the Kingdom of Heaven.

“No world savior was ever sent into the world to save men from the task of saving themselves.”

-Alvin Boyd Kuhn

The whole fucking point of being here is to Remember what you are and to realize that you and only you have the power to save yourself.

If somebody came to do it for you, there would be no reason to come here.

However…you could be told a story and given some teachings about the Divinity of Man and that might help you get your head out of your ass a little faster 😂😂😂

In Love,

Doesn’t it seem a little weird that the premise of Christianity is to sit back and be grateful that somebody else came to save your ass?

It’s almost like somebody wanted to make sure that people would never look for deeper answers 😂
