"But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him." - 1st Corinthians ch2 v9.

We won't get to experience real creativity until we get to heaven. God has some amazing things in store for us, but not in this lifetime. Prepare for eternity, not this temporary home.

That's not my theology. There's plenty of creative stuff to do on earth. Besides, what music/tv/arts can we consume in this lifetime that isn't tainted? It's possible.

The bible isn't your theology?

Okay.

The New Age movement as we know it is certainly misguided, and I suspect has been largely led by Luciferians. Their followers are the people who want to have spirituality without ethics (or sometimes even basic hygiene). They think all belief systems are the same because they've actually studied none of them, especially never having compared a Bible to a Quran. They think Allah is just another name for the Christian God, that evil and good are the same and so on. They have God complexes and therefore feel no need to be good people or to undertake any actual spiritual work beyond Yoga class.

However the ancient teachings on non-duality/non-separation, based on Vedanta (Hindu) or Zen Buddhism are not that different than you could gather from reading the story of Christ as a metaphorical roadmap for your personal awakening. I think there is something there which has been hidden from us.

I work with Christianity and the Bible as my primary way of looking at things, but not the way that the child rapists at the Vatican teach it. We are not sinners forever. If we take this stuff seriously there is an invitation for us to rise into the likeness of Christ - not that we are perfect but that we can work towards it, and that there is work to be done here that God will delegate to us if we choose to accept it.

Check out Alan Watts "The Book" or Adyashanti's "Resurrecting Jesus" if you wish to explore this way of looking at things. Also you may wish to look into the Book of Enoch and new testament apocrypha.

I skimmed the apocrypha books and it does get weird and not really like the rest of the bible. I think I should reexamine them again since I've now been red pilled and my mind is more open to the weird and I know that God is going to have some weirdness if he is infinite.

Isn't a lie basically a convoluted truth? There's some saying about that. I think the other religions have similar elements but the big question is always about Jesus. Anything less than Jesus as savior of the world and son of God is a lie.

I agree, but then who is Jesus? Is he a man who lived 2000 years ago, or is he a metaphor for someone that lives in us, in the "eternal now"?

What if we encounter a person or spirit who can't talk? What about people who haven't heard of Christ, or who lived before the New Testament? If they can't confess Christ then how do we know if they are OK?

I think there is a knowing inside that wants to guide us, but we can't access it fully because our hearts are closed and our minds are brainwashed and our pineal glands have been damaged by chemicals.

"Disinformation is necessary" -- Q.

Sometimes we have to be fooled before we can wake up. Deeper truths had to be hidden in parables and coded messages. We have to dig and think for ourselves to get there.

When we are personally in a good place, embodying self-love, then we can not be fooled by tricksters. But it can help to look at ideas we disagree with just to see, why is this upsetting me? Why does this cause me to feel the sting of judgement? This is not to say that the idea is true or good, just that it gives us an opportunity for introspection.

I don't know where all of this is headed, but what an amazing time to be alive!
