Simple Wisdom: Jesus is the example of what we can become
Jesus was placed upon the earth as an example of what mankind can be, what mankind will be. He is an example of what we are evolving towards.
His love and his energy is perfect and pure. By opening our hearts, we too are capable of becoming perfect and pure with love for one another and for the other species of the earth that is without limits or conditions. It is what we work towards. When we speak of “perfect ourselves for God” we are speaking of feeling love for all without conditions. This involves the total surrender of the ego. How could it not?
With the ego in place, we perceive attack. We feel that those whose behavior is a bother to us are acting such to cause us pain, irritation, and bother. This is most often not the actual case though. This is only our perception of the case. We are conditioned to believe that we are number one, the center of everything, the most important object in our own universe. When we accept oneness, wholeness, we glimpse how much this is not true. We discover how our actions affect others. We become mindful.
Likewise, we discover that the bothersome acts of others are not geared towards or directed at us. They are simply the reaction of our ego trying so hard to maintain a status quo. We invent ourselves in such and such a way. We tell ourselves that we are only truly true, only truly authentic when certain conditions are in place. Then these conditions are upset, disrupted, so we view those doing the disrupting as a problem. But this is false. We still are who we are. We are now only reacting to this other situation.
Go inside and hold tight to that core you within, and no outside influences will affect you. We are only affected by our reactions. Our reactions are from the mind. Our mind will tell us this and that about a situation. But this is only our mind. In our heart and our spirit, we know something different to be true.
But as long as we give our mind control, we will be at its mercy. Remember, our thoughts create our reality. As long as our thoughts create a reality of attack and of battle, we will live an existence of attack and battle. If we shift to an attitude of harmony and balance, our thoughts will create a reality of harmony and balance. If we have trouble with this, if it is hard for us to do, we need only ask for help, we need only pray and then silence our mind to hear the guidance we are being provided.
This is to appreciate Jesus beyond the narrow constraints of religious dogma. This is to appreciate Jesus in your own way, on your own terms without any expectations being placed on you by any forces that be. This is the true Jesus. This is Christ Consciousness. This is to be the best you can be through the example set by Jesus.
