So the other day I made a post about me discovering the significance of archetypes at 33 years old, and I was thinking.. Maybe that's kind of what the story of Jesus is more suppose to be.. Not necessarily a literal real story of what happened, but a metaphor or allegory for the process of gaining wisdom, and certain kinds of wisdom like the wisdom of "all that is all" and "I am that, I am".. It's kinda like.. The heroes story, or just the.. Self awareness story in relation to the Jesus/savior story is kind of.. Something that happens as you discover that you are a part of "everything" and that your consciousness is like the same consciousness as all other consciousness give or take the limitations of whatever kind of brain you happen to be in. But still that base "observer" kind of thing.. I think when you realize this, you have no choice but to sort of crucify your old self and kill it. And you are reborn or resurrected like a Phoenix as the spirit of everything.
And.. On some level, the old self is still there.. You can't interact with reality without some kind of ego, everything would just blur together if you didn't have your individual thoughts and meat machines.. But, in a sense that old version of you is dead now, it's no longer the same when you realize that is just an individual mask or costume among the who knows how many masks and costumes that litter this existence. And.. There's a great wisdom here if you don't get totally lost in it and consumed by it.. When you realize you're sort of "everything" and your individual self as well.. You can probably never go back to looking at the world in quite the same way again.. Thus your old self dying.. But, when you ressurect as this new consciosness.. It's pretty fascinating, and I don't think I would want to go back..
It's almost like having superpowers but we all have this power if we want it, you can almost read peoples minds, cause.. You realize you are them as well. So.. It's not so difficult to read someone elses mind when you realize that you are them. Heh. But.. These are just sort of my initial realizations.. I'm sure I'll learn even more in the coming years and decades assuming I live that long. Life is always changing, we never stop learning, and if we did.. Might as well be dead already, cause.. Life should be a never ending learning process, there is no top.. No matter how wise or enlightened you think you are, it's probably impossible to truly reach some kind of enlightenment in just one lifetime.
Maybe.. God is not a fixed thing like many things, maybe God is evolving right along side us depending on how we live.. Some people believe this, I think some Jews believe this.. They think that we are kind of the living representation of God and we can choose how good or evil things are by how we live, that we are literally the expression of God itself like individual brain cells in it's giant brain.. And.. It's up to us whether God and life continues to be super fucked up and dark and evil, or more compassionate and understanding and loving.. I kinda like that idea.. I like the idea that God is also evolving right along side of us.. It's not fixed, it's not set in stone.. It's happening right now. And with that sentiment.. I'm going to shush for a while.. I've said enough today. Peace until next time. <3
PS If you experient with this mindset I caution you to not lose total sight of yourself and who you are.. I think the elite of the world want to condition that into us, so we are all like "one giant battery" for them to use, it's important you keep your ego and who you are, but also realize that you are a part of everything else and the fabric of reality itself. ._.
Cool post. I like looking for the metaphors in religions, and the crucixtion/resurrection thing is something I'd never thought about before. Cool thought.
Really like the idea of god evolving too. It makes a lot of sense. It kind of changes god to something that's more peer-to-peer, which in some ways clashes with what you think of as "god", but really it's the most practical way to learn everything and have all the knowledge.. so god probably "should" work like that. We're a part of the process rather than just, like, statically reflecting god for no purpose.
Its kind of like you can have some idea or belief that serves you positively. It's good to take guidance from this (it's "god" in a sense), but at the same time you're constantly questioning and willing to adapt that belief. So what you take guidance from is also what you form and vice versa.

Glad you appreciated the post. Thanks for your thoughtful response. I agree with most of what you said and enjoyed reading it, especially the last part! This part..
This sorta gave me the, looking into an infinite mirror effect.. I can't really put it into words well, but.. I'ma think about it more, and maybe I'll be able to put it into words better in the future. ._.
Thanks for sharing.

I like to remind myself and others when it comes up that Jesus transliterated really basically means God among us -- in the name for Him as Immanuel.
