Christianity (somewhat) Explained

1 post in this topic

To start off, I raised a non-denomenational Christian and only 3 years ago moved away from it after psychedelics (feels wayyyy longer). I'm only 20 years old and have been doing serious, consistent inner work for that time, so I've developed quite a bit compared to where I was. Now that I've gotten to this point, I've started analyzing Christianity from an outside perspective and trying to find a new approach to using it for this work. Going to do this with other religions as well, but this is the one I know the most well. As a note to others who were raised with any religion or belief system: personally I have found that part of my mind interprets reality somewhat from a Christian perspective at times. Still use words like sin; "He" instead of "It" for God, etc. I think the fix to this is to integrate those ideas up into the work we do here. That might be something to look into if you're like me. If you're wondering what the trinity represents for whatever reason, here ya go. 

Basically, the trinity is an allegorical and metaphysical representation of body (experience itself without thoughts or feelings), mind (ego), and spirit (unconscious mind/feelings/intuition).

These aspects (interpretations) of God work in their own ways but also inform each other as they are completely and totally unified. The father is the body, Christ is the mind, and the Holy Spirit is the spirit (obviously lol). 

The reason why Christians pray to Jesus Christ is because, within the belief system, he is the ego-mind of God that thinks and reasons. It is said in the Bible that Jesus Christ passed on the Holy Spirit to the church. This is actually true. The Holy Spirit, in this context, is the unconscious mind after it has been oriented towards Christianity from accepting Christ as God. The unconscious mind has a tendency to only act on truth, so if it has been oriented on some sort of goal or symbolic representation of reality, it will unequivocally bring you to wisdom from that lens or way of thinking when inner work is done. 

In the Bible, it is said the Holy Spirit was the Christ's betrothement gift for the times leading up to the marriage-ceromony in the end of everything. I had a little trouble unpacking this, but I've got a pretty good idea of what this is now. If you do inner-work with conscious attentiveness to the unconscious mind, which guides you to truth, eventually you will be lead to the Absolute Truth or enlightenment. What's funny is the last book of the Bible is literally called "Revelations". That right there should clue you in that this is not really talking about some weird end of the world, apocalypse shit. The entire book is an allegory for the non-dual awakening of the church or Christians. It is Christianity in its final-form. 

At the time the Bible was written, marriage was meant to represent unification, so the marriage between the church and the Christ is the realization of yourself as the Christ, which is the realization of yourself as God. After that, it is said that a new heaven, hell, and Earth is created by God. This is an allegory for the recontextualization of reality as you see it after enlightenment. And that closes off everything. Sin (devilry) has been "eliminated", and all that is left is Love. There's way more to this stuff, but this is a good start. 

Honestly, after analyzing Christianity from this lens, I have a much deeper appreciation for Jesus. The dude was insanely conscious. He knew that in his time he couldn't just go around saying, "Everything is God! You're God! I'm God! Love is the answer!" Lol. No one would have accepted that, and his message would have never gotten out. He set it up so that people could collectively develop towards that eventually with a head start. Not only did he set it up on a collective level, it was constructed so that there could be a direct interaction between him and those that believed in him as a result of the Holy Spirit. Pretty cool stuff. Add more if you want, and let me know what y'all think.
