Heaven Within: Living in Oneness and Love According to the Wisdom of Jesus

Heaven Within: Living in Oneness and Love According to the Wisdom of Jesus


Living in and from the "world" means residing in a realm of others that you deny as yourself. Who you believe you are becomes the center of this YOU-niverse. The term "heaven" can be experienced here and now while still "in the world." It involves living from a deep place within you, the truth of your being, where there are no others because all "others" are your Self.



This embodies the message and life of Jesus, which he aimed to share. A verse states, "He that is joined to the Lord is One Spirit," and this One Spirit is LOVE, often referred to as "our father who art in heaven." This explains how Jesus could say, "If you've seen me, you've seen the father," yet acknowledge, "My father is greater than I," pertaining to the physical form.


Living from this inner place makes every person your image, not just the one reflected in the mirror, which you might consider your "only begotten image." Taking up your cross to this "only begotten image" by discovering the holy of holies within leads to a "resurrection" of Spirit, an awakening of the eternal Love within you.


May these challenging times prompt you to dig deep and find that place of perfect peace, where all is well regardless of the surrounding chaos. It is only through individual inward journeys that we gain the ability to see our Self face to face in each other, where Love is the paramount concern. If that isn't heaven, I don't know what is.

A Thought-Provoking Reflection: Contrasting Notions of Judgment, Worship, and Forgiveness

A Thought-Provoking Reflection: Contrasting Notions of Judgment, Worship, and Forgiveness


The contemplation of an individual who embodies the attributes of judgment, a desire for exclusive worship, and the proclamation of eternal torment for non-believers raises profound questions about the essence of compassion, forgiveness, and the inherent human capacity for understanding and empathy.



The notion of an individual who passes judgment on all others and seeks to be exalted above all, invoking the concept of exclusive worship, poses a striking contrast to the fundamental principles of empathy and understanding that underpin human relationships. The inherent desire for recognition and veneration above all others stands in stark contrast to the principles of humility and mutual respect that form the cornerstone of harmonious coexistence.

Furthermore, the proclamation of eternal torment for those who do not adhere to a specific belief system raises profound ethical and moral questions. The concept of eternal punishment for "non-believers" challenges the very essence of compassion and empathy that form the bedrock of human relationships and societal harmony. The notion of eternal torment for non-believers stands in stark contrast to the principles of understanding, empathy, and the inherent capacity for forgiveness that define the human experience.

In juxtaposition to the concept of eternal torment for "non-believers", the call for unconditional love towards one's enemies and the practice of forgiveness seventy times seven highlights the profound capacity for empathy and understanding inherent within the human spirit. The call to love one's enemies and extend forgiveness embodies the essence of compassion and empathy, fostering a profound sense of interconnectedness and understanding that transcends the boundaries of individual belief systems.


The contemplation of contrasting attributes—judgment, the desire for exclusive worship, and the proclamation of eternal torment, juxtaposed with the call for unconditional love and forgiveness—serves as a thought-provoking reflection on the fundamental principles that underpin human relationships and societal harmony. It beckons individuals to contemplate the inherent capacity for empathy, understanding, and forgiveness, transcending the limitations of judgment and exclusivity.

The Paradox of Freedom and Belief

In conclusion, the contemplation of contrasting notions of judgment, worship, and forgiveness serves as a thought-provoking reflection on the fundamental principles that underpin human relationships and societal harmony. It becomes a clarion call to embrace the profound capacity for empathy, understanding, and forgiveness, transcending the limitations of judgment and exclusivity, and fostering a profound sense of interconnectedness and compassion that defines the essence of the human experience.

The Power of Perception: Rethinking Sickness, Poverty, and Institutional Religion

The Power of Perception: Rethinking Sickness, Poverty, and Institutional Religion

Introduction:

The perception of sickness, lack, and poverty as artificial constructs and the influence of institutional religion in shaping these beliefs have profound implications for individuals worldwide. This article seeks to challenge conventional notions of maladies and societal narratives perpetuated by institutional religion. By exploring the artificial nature of perceived afflictions and the role of religion as a placebo, it aims to reframe the understanding of sickness, lack, and poverty and their impact on individuals' well-being.


AGAPIAN DECONSTRUCTION DAILY DEVOTIONAL

Reframing Perceived Maladies:

The prevailing belief in sickness, lack, and poverty as externally imposed afflictions has been deeply ingrained in societal narratives. However, a paradigm shift invites individuals to recognize these maladies as products of the mind, brought into temporal manifestation. By acknowledging the artificial nature of perceived afflictions, individuals can transcend the limitations imposed by externalized narratives of victimization.

Unveiling Spiritual and Linguistic

Religious Conditioning and Healing:

Institutional religion has played a significant role in perpetuating the belief that individuals are victimized by divine forces and require additional treatment, often in the form of prescribed "church activities" such as healing and anointing services. However, this approach may be likened to a sugar pill or a placebo, offering the illusion of addressing non-existent problems through the power of suggestion. The promise of truth in religious narratives may instead deliver invented "truth" in the form of dogma, ritual, or prohibition, perpetuating a cycle of perceived affliction and externalized solutions.


The Power of the Mind:

Central to reevaluating the understanding of sickness, lack, and poverty is the recognition of the power of the mind. By acknowledging that the only real sickness resides in the mind, individuals can liberate themselves from the confines of externalized narratives and religious conditioning. Embracing the transformative potential of the mind offers a pathway to redefining experiences of maladies, transcending the limitations imposed by institutionalized beliefs.

Redefining Well-being and Abundance:

A critical reevaluation of the role of institutional religion in addressing perceptions of maladies is essential in fostering a more profound understanding of well-being and abundance. By transcending the reliance on externalized remedies and embracing the transformative power of the mind, individuals can redefine their experiences of healing, abundance, and well-being. This departure from externalized narratives invites individuals to reclaim agency over their perceptions and experiences, acknowledging the intrinsic power to shape their reality.


Embracing Personal Empowerment:

The liberation from the artificial constructs of maladies necessitates a paradigm shift towards personal empowerment and the recognition of the mind's transformative potential. By reframing the understanding of perceived afflictions as products of the mind and embracing the power of perception, individuals can transcend the limitations imposed by institutionalized narratives and reclaim agency over their well-being.

Beyond Religion Embracing Truth Within

Conclusion:

The pervasive influence of perception, the artificial nature of sickness, lack, and poverty, and the impact of institutional religion on healing and well-being necessitate a critical reevaluation of established beliefs. By acknowledging the power of the mind to shape experiences and transcending the externalized narratives of victimization, individuals can embark on a transformative journey towards personal empowerment and authentic well-being. It is through this redefinition of perceived maladies, healing, and the influence of religious dogma that individuals can reclaim agency over their perceptions and experiences, fostering a renewed sense of empowerment and liberation.

Awakening the Christ Within: Transcending Religious Constructs for Self-Realization

Awakening the Christ Within: Transcending Religious Constructs for Self-Realization


Introduction:

The profound realization of Christ consciousness, as exemplified by Jesus, unveils the ultimate truth of one's being. Yet, in contemporary society, the pervasive identification with the mind and body perpetuates a sense of separation, overshadowing the innate realization of the Christ within. This article endeavors to challenge the conventional notions of self-identification and religious adherence, inviting individuals to transcend the confines of religious dogma and embrace their intrinsic manifestation of the Christ consciousness.



Understanding the Essence of Christ Consciousness:

Jesus' profound realization of the Christ within signifies a fundamental understanding of his true essence. This realization transcends the conventional perception of identity confined to the mind and body, illuminating the intrinsic unity with the divine. However, the prevailing societal tendency to identify with the mind and body perpetuates a sense of separation, hindering individuals from recognizing their innate manifestation of the Christ consciousness.


Transcending Religious Adherence:

While many individuals profess to follow the teachings of Jesus, their adherence often aligns with the constructs of organized religion rather than the authentic realization of the Christ within. The pervasive influence of religious dogma may inadvertently lead individuals to prioritize externalized practices and adherence over the profound realization of their intrinsic unity with the divine. This dichotomy raises critical questions about the alignment of religious adherence with the authentic embodiment of Christ consciousness.


Reclaiming the Manifestation of Christ Consciousness:

The inherent manifestation of the Christ consciousness within each individual transcends the confines of religious institutions and dogmatic teachings. It calls for a departure from the conventional narratives propagated within church buildings and religious gatherings, encouraging individuals to seek a deeper understanding of their intrinsic unity with the divine. Embracing the essence of Christ consciousness necessitates a shift from the externalized study of God in a classroom setting to an introspective journey of self-realization and spiritual awakening.


Embracing Self-Realization and Spiritual Awakening:

The recognition of the innate manifestation of the Christ consciousness within each individual invites a profound journey of self-realization and spiritual awakening. This departure from religious adherence and dogmatic teachings fosters a renewed sense of empowerment, enabling individuals to transcend the limitations of externalized identity and embrace their intrinsic unity with the divine. It is through this transformative journey that individuals can reclaim the authentic embodiment of the Christ consciousness, transcending the confines of religious constructs and embracing the profound realization of their true essence.

Conclusion:

The essence of Christ consciousness, as exemplified by Jesus, transcends the confines of religious dogma and institutionalized teachings. It calls for a profound shift in the understanding of self-identification and the realization of intrinsic unity with the divine. By embarking on a transformative journey of self-realization and spiritual awakening, individuals can transcend the pervasive identification with the mind and body, embracing the profound manifestation of the Christ consciousness within. It is through this departure from religious adherence and dogmatic narratives that individuals can reclaim their authentic embodiment of the Christ consciousness, fostering a renewed sense of empowerment and spiritual liberation.

Beyond Religion: Embracing the Truth Within

Beyond Religion: Embracing the Truth Within

The profound exploration of truth and self-realization transcends the conventional boundaries of religious dogma and doctrine. The quest for understanding the essence of one's being and the nature of truth unfolds in a realm that defies traditional constructs and invites individuals to embark on a transformative journey of self-discovery and inner awakening. The problem with religion often lies in its portrayal of truth as something separate and external, perpetuating the notion that it must be obtained or attained. However, this portrayal, while true in one sense, is fundamentally false in another. It gives rise to a distorted perception of the self, creating an illusion of separateness and perpetuating the belief that truth and eternal life are external pursuits.



The concept of the "self" as perceived by religion is, in a sense, a "lie," as it falsely perceives itself as separate and apart from the interconnectedness of all existence. This illusory self is temporal, driven by the desire to seek truth and attain a state of eternal being. It is the self that is entrenched in the material world, aspiring to control and dominate its surroundings. However, the truth, as expounded in spiritual writings, reveals a profound understanding that transcends the limitations of this illusory self. It distinguishes between the self that seeks truth and the self that embodies truth.


Some religious teachings often allude to the kingdom of heaven being within oneself, yet the attempt to "reach" this inner divine realm is met with resistance and condemnation. This paradox creates confusion for those seeking their spiritual homecoming. The verse from Christianity, "greater is he who is in you than he that is in the world," encapsulates the dichotomy between the temporal self and the eternal truth. However, the conventional interpretation of this verse ascribing the "greater" to God and the "he that is in the world" to the devil overlooks the profound revelation that both are inherent aspects of the self and one's identity.


The recognition that both the divine and the worldly aspects are integral to one's being becomes a pivotal moment of clarity in the journey of self-realization. It is the shift from perceiving these aspects as external entities to embracing them as inherent components of the self that leads to transformative understanding. The replacement of the concept of a separate "God" with the eternal spirit of love, inherent to one's being, becomes the catalyst for experiencing the union depicted as the marriage feast in Christianity— the union of heaven and earth, the temporal and eternal, where the duality converges into Oneness.


The profound message embedded within these spiritual teachings urges individuals to delve beyond the surface interpretations presented by religious institutions. It invites a deeper understanding that resonates with the core of one's being, transcending the confines of external validation and dogmatic interpretations. The litmus test for the authenticity of these teachings lies in their ability to evoke love, peace, joy, and a sense of interconnectedness within oneself and with the world. If they facilitate the expansion of one's heart to embrace all as oneself and foster a sense of inner tranquility, then they illuminate the path to self-realization and truth.


In a world where religious doctrines and interpretations may perpetuate a sense of inadequacy and perpetuate separation, it becomes imperative to liberate oneself from the confines of dogma and embrace the profound truth that resides within. The journey toward self-liberation involves shedding the illusions of separateness and embracing the inherent unity that encompasses all existence. It is a journey of self-empowerment, guided by the light of self-realization and the profound understanding that truth, love, and the eternal essence are not external pursuits but inherent components of one's being.


In conclusion, the exploration of truth and self-realization transcends the conventional boundaries of religious constructs, inviting individuals to embark on a transformative journey of self-discovery and inner awakening. It calls for a reevaluation of the self and a profound understanding that truth, love, and eternal essence are not external pursuits but inherent components of one's being. It beckons individuals to liberate themselves from the confines of dogma and embrace the profound truth that resides within, fostering a sense of interconnectedness and inner tranquility that illuminates the path to self-realization and Oneness.

Embracing Oneness: Navigating the Path to Inner Harmony and Love

Embracing Oneness: Navigating the Path to Inner Harmony and Love


The concept of living in the world while transcending its limitations serves as a profound invitation to explore the depths of one's being and to embrace the essence of unity and interconnectedness. It beckons individuals to transcend the illusions of separateness and to recognize that the realm of "others" is an extension of the self. This embodies the timeless message and life of Jesus, who sought to impart the essence of unity and love, encapsulated in the profound truth that "He that is joined to the Lord is One Spirit," and this One Spirit is LOVE.



The essence of heaven, as expounded in the message, becomes a profound revelation—that it can be experienced here and now while still "in the world." It involves living from a deep place within, embracing the truth of one's being, and recognizing the inherent unity that underpins all of existence. This revelation serves as a poignant reminder that the ultimate truth of being transcends physical form, and in this recognition, the profound statement "My father is greater than I" takes on a deeper meaning, pertaining to the essence of the divine that transcends the limitations of the physical realm.


Living from this inner place becomes a transformative journey, where every person becomes a reflection of the self. The act of taking up one's cross to the "only begotten image" becomes a metaphor for delving into the depths of one's being, leading to a "resurrection" of Spirit and an awakening of the eternal Love within. It becomes a testament to the transformative power of self-discovery and inner harmony, fostering a deep sense of interconnectedness and unity.


In the midst of the current challenges that permeate the world, the message serves as a beacon of hope and introspection. It prompts individuals to embark on an inward journey, delving deep to find that place of perfect peace, where the chaos of the external world is transcended by the profound understanding that all is well within. It becomes an invitation to cultivate a deep sense of compassion and empathy, recognizing the divine essence in each other and making love the paramount concern.


In conclusion, the message encapsulates a profound understanding of oneness, love, and the transformative power of inner harmony. It serves as a timeless reminder that the path to heaven lies in recognizing the inherent unity of all beings and embracing the transformative journey of self-discovery. It becomes a testament to the profound truth that when individuals gain the ability to see themselves face to face in each other, where Love becomes the paramount concern, they embody the essence of heaven itself.

Trusting the Inner Voice: A Reflection on the Authority of Self

Trusting the Inner Voice: A Reflection on the Authority of Self

In a world where information bombards us from all directions, it's easy to fall into the trap of relying on external sources for guidance. From a young age, we are conditioned to seek answers outside of ourselves, placing authority in the hands of others rather than trusting our own intuition. This inclination to defer to external authority can be attributed to the prevalence of an authority-based mindset deeply embedded in our beliefs and societal structures.




The idea that individuals often respond to what they are told rather than what is self-evident speaks to the power of external influence in shaping our thoughts and actions. This phenomenon is not limited to any specific culture or belief system but is rather a universal tendency ingrained in human psychology. We are taught to distrust our inner wisdom and instead look to authority figures, whether they be religious leaders, political figures, or experts in various fields, for guidance and validation.

However, the question arises: if we cannot trust what lies within ourselves, why should we place our trust in the guidance of others? This contemplation leads us to the profound insight offered by Jesus, who encouraged people to place their trust in the source of their being – Love. This concept invites us to reevaluate the locus of authority and to recognize the inherent wisdom that resides within each of us.

The teachings of Jesus, often interpreted through the lens of organized religion, shed light on the struggle faced by many of his closest followers in embracing this concept. Rather than embracing the essence of Jesus' message, some became overly attached to his personality, thereby missing the deeper truth he sought to impart. Jesus emphasized his departure not to create a void, but to encourage people to shift their reliance from his personhood to the universal principle he embodied – Love, which also resides within each individual.

Despite this profound insight, organized Christianity in many circles continues to memorialize and worship Jesus' personality, a practice that Jesus himself disapproved of. This discrepancy between the core message of Jesus and the institutionalized expressions of his teachings highlights the enduring challenge of embracing the authority of self and recognizing the divine essence within each individual.

The reality, as illuminated by Jesus and echoed in various spiritual traditions, lies within each individual. It calls for a shift in consciousness, inviting us to reclaim our inner authority and to recognize the innate wisdom and love that permeate our being. This inner knowing transcends the limitations of external influence and invites us to embark on a journey of self-discovery and self-trust.

The profound insight that individuals often respond to external authority rather than what is self-evident exposes a fundamental aspect of human psychology. However, the wisdom imparted by spiritual figures such as Jesus invites us to reconsider the locus of authority and to recognize the inherent wisdom and love that reside within each of us. Embracing the authority of self entails a transformative shift in consciousness, empowering individuals to trust their inner guidance and to embody the universal principles of love and wisdom that transcend external influences.

This shift in consciousness invites us to move beyond the confines of external authority and to embrace the profound truth that the essence of wisdom and love resides within us. It challenges us to reevaluate the sources of guidance we rely on and to recognize the infinite wellspring of wisdom that flows from our own being.

Trusting the inner voice involves cultivating a deep sense of self-awareness and attunement to the subtle whispers of intuition that arise from within. It requires a willingness to quiet the cacophony of external voices and to listen attentively to the guidance that emanates from the depths of our being. This inner guidance, often obscured by the noise of modern life, beckons us to reawaken to our innate wisdom and to honor the truth that resides within us.

The journey of trusting the inner voice is not without its challenges. In a world where external validation and approval hold significant sway, venturing into the realm of self-trust can feel like a radical departure from the norm. However, the rewards of reclaiming our inner authority are immeasurable. By honoring the wisdom that emanates from within, we align ourselves with the universal principles of love, compassion, and understanding that transcend the limitations of external authority.

The teachings of Jesus, as well as those of other spiritual luminaries, remind us of the transformative power that lies within each individual. By shifting our reliance from external sources to the wellspring of wisdom and love within, we embark on a journey of self-empowerment and self-realization. This journey invites us to transcend the confines of conditioned belief systems and to embrace the boundless potential that resides within us.

In a world where the clamor of external influence often drowns out the quiet wisdom of the inner voice, the call to trust oneself becomes ever more poignant. It beckons us to awaken to the truth that the authority of self is not a renunciation of external guidance, but a harmonious integration of inner wisdom and external knowledge. It is a recognition of the sacred sovereignty that resides within each individual and a celebration of the unique gifts and insights that each person brings to the tapestry of human experience.

AGAPIAN DECONSTRUCTION 366 Daily Devotional

In conclusion, the journey of trusting the inner voice is a profound odyssey that invites us to embrace the authority of self and to honor the wisdom and love that flow from the depths of our being. It calls for a reevaluation of the sources of guidance we rely on and a reclamation of the innate wisdom that resides within each of us.
