(HEAR this message in a short video.)
Jesus said, "You are the light of the world." Religion said, "You are full of darkness."
Jesus said, "The kingdom of heaven is within you." Religion said, "The kingdom is far above you."
Jesus said, "You are all gods." Religion said, "You are lost sinners."
Jesus said, "These things that I do, you shall do also." Religion said, "These things that you do are tainted with original sin."
Jesus said, "Love your enemy... put away your sword." Religion said, "Onward Christian soldiers, marching as to war."
When I abandon the absurdities of religious doctrine, I am free to meet Jesus, to experience Jesus. I discover that Jesus is not a myth, but a living personal energy, just as Amita-Buddha and Lord Krishna are living personal energies, reaching their arms forth from the one Radiance, as avatars and sons of the Goddess, She whose Shakti spices all creation, making creatures hot with divine beauty.
Religion dies on the cross of its contradictions, and Christ-Consciousness rises from the dead. Then the Second Coming: the awakening of Christ in you.
Don't believe any of this! Just gaze into an apple blossom, where it is all so obvious.
