27 THE ORIGIN OF JESUS
Many people wonder: Are Jesus, Buddha or the rest of the precursors of religions divine or extraterrestrial beings? It must be borne in mind that the fact of creating an important religion has never turned anyone into a divine being, nor should we forget that no one was born knowing and behind every great idea or every great invention there are thousands of people who previously They have contributed to the progress of humanity. They, therefore, what they have done has been to collect all that work to improve it by contributing their dedication and intelligence. The world has been evolving for thousands of years, so attributing all progress only to those who have become famous is a simplistic attitude. It is a mistake to confuse the message with the messenger, that is to say that we must consider divine only the universal values and the truths that philosophers manage to discover and not them as persons. Therefore, it is an act of moral baseness to build statues to worship religious characters as divine when they, although they have contributed to progress, are only men and what is truly great are the teachings they have transmitted to us.
It is true that there are beings more evolved than others in the spiritual plane and there are also extraterrestrial beings in the universe that are more advanced than humans on the path of evolution, it is also possible that these extraterrestrial beings have helped humanity in the passed to favor their progress, it is even possible that they have been reincarnated on earth to be guides of humanity, but that does not make them divine beings, because they are only beings from other planets who have decided to help us. Someone might ask, are they Jesus and Buddha or rather their spirits of extraterrestrial origin? That, it is impossible to know until the day comes when the aliens, who are certainly on Earth, openly manifest and confirm or deny it, but we must not forget that in terms of philosophy it does. The important thing is not the philosopher but the value of the teaching he transmits, therefore, the origin of Jesus is not important, the important thing is to analyze his teachings to find out how they can improve our lives, or if possible, find out if we We can improve those teachings, because as I have already said, there is no one in the universe who knows everything and even higher beings are sometimes wrong. Nor should we allow passion to cloud our reason, that is, we should not accept that these religious characters are divine just because religious organizations say so, because they are interested in cultivating the myth or idolatry of these characters in order to manipulate to the people and obtain benefit from it, therefore, we must value what is positive their ideas may have, but without ever losing impartial judgment. It is possible that aliens have once reincarnated on Earth to help us, but that does not mean that they have forced it into famous people, because the importance of their mission does not always have to require publicity.
It is also vulgar to attribute the performance of miracles to these prophets, because what defines a higher being is their ability to understand universal values as a consequence of the evolution of their spirit, that is the only quality that differentiates an evolved being reincarnated in the Earth of another who is not. All the progress that beings obtain through their reincarnations translates only into their spiritual enrichment, that is, in their best ability to take advantage of life to be happy, but they cannot do supernatural things with their body because it is the same as the Others, therefore, those who try to use so-called miracles as bait to attract people to their religious organizations show that they have excess greed and lack spiritual status. A prophet or a philosopher like Jesus or Buddha can be considered superior beings, but only as a consequence of their greater knowledge of universal truths and not because they can perform material miracles. They are strong on the plane of philosophy and understanding of the spiritual world, but not on the material plane. Therefore, those who try to make the spiritual appear material and build idols to worship, what they do is distort the true meaning of the divine.
Perhaps the creation of idols arose out of fear of the unknown. With idols, people believed that they could communicate their concerns to the gods, this was only a form of placebo, because believing that those idols listened to them felt calmer. But it is evident that believing in idols can only be a brake to understand the truth, because the longer these beliefs are maintained, the later the problems will be solved. Therefore, it can be assumed that the origin of these beliefs is ignorance, because if what we want is to solve a problem, then it will always be better to start by acknowledging the truth rather than living believing a lie. The worship of stone idols that was done in the past was evidently an aberrant act, but the worship of people that is done in the present is no less degenerate than that type of idolatry, because the only difference between that idolatry and the current one is that the names have been changed but the act of idolatry is the same.
Before, stone idols were built to worship the gods Zeus or Athena among others, and now plastic idols are built to gild the Virgin, Jesus or the apostles, and the religious organizations that benefit from this want us to see them as if were gods to confuse our minds and that we submit to their interests, this is, without a doubt, an act of mental manipulation similar to those used by destructive sects. But we must not be mistaken, because any act of idolatry is rejected regardless of the character or religion to which the idols refer. It is an abominable act to try to equate Jesus with God because in the universe there are thousands of beings with a knowledge of the truth equal to or greater than yours, therefore, trying to summarize the truth to what Jesus could say is like trying to put the universe in a glass of water. It is true that the teachings of Jesus or any other philosopher can be good for humanity, but we must not allow that to be used as an excuse to build idols in their name.
Human beings worship idols in their likeness out of sheer vanity, because by worshiping someone who resembles them what they do is worshiping themselves and with this it is suggested that divine beings are just like them. It is true that nature, through evolution, has tried to make man perfect and come to be in consonance with the universal values that in turn represent God. But the fact that the human body is almost perfect does not mean that for that reason human civilization is also perfect. That is why creating idols in the shape of people is as absurd as if a monkey creates idols in the shape of a monkey. It is true that man is made in his fundamental aspects in accordance with the laws of God, but that does not mean that God is a man. This can only be considered an arrogant attitude, because God is not a person but a set of universal laws and the human being has a long way to go to be in line with them.
In the same way, worshiping the mother of Jesus is like despising him, because there is no evidence to show that she thought like him, because there are many examples of people who were famous in a field of science, but whose parents Not only did they not think like them, but they strongly opposed their children's activities. It is evident that by acting like this, those in charge of the church try to equate the family of Jesus with the monarchy, as if he had been king of some country on Earth and his mother, therefore, was the queen mother, what which is a lie, because such a kingdom never existed. It is true that Jesus had a kingdom, but he was not of this world, because he was not interested in politics but in philosophy and in this field there are no royal families. Philosophy was his kingdom, but not because he is the leader of any spiritual kingdom, because in the superior worlds that have already finished evolving, all beings are equally virtuous. However, it can be considered that the spiritual world was his kingdom because philosophy was his specialty, and he tried to be an expert in it and later teach it to his disciples. The fact that his mother had lent him her genes does not make him part of their cause or responsible for his philosophy. Therefore, making it an idol only serves to resurrect the old myths of polytheism but disguised as monotheism.
In reality, the most evolved spirits on Earth or any other world, when they end a human life what they do is prepare for the next and when they reincarnate, they use their higher evolutionary level to favor the progress of all humanity. The spirits that have already managed to complete their ascension towards spiritual perfection are not going to live in a hypothetical spiritual world, but incarnate indefinitely on their own planet and contribute to the completion of technological progress. Later, when the world reaches perfection, they have children, form families, and do jobs to make society prosper, with the difference that vanity and wars have been banished forever. In reality, reincarnation is necessary even when the evolutionary process has already been completed, because only when the matter of our body is united with the energy of our spirit is the perfect balance reached to be happy. In those perfect worlds, all beings have the same or higher spiritual level that Buddha or Jesus could have, therefore, it is a mistake to try to equate them with God, because regardless of the wisdom that a man may have God, he cannot be only a part, because it can only be that which is common to all.
We should not overestimate the fact that a person has a lot of wisdom, because knowledge alone is not enough to make a person happy, because what good is wisdom if only one person has it? It is true that wisdom can help a person to be happier, but only when it is shared by all and applied in society in a practical way is it possible to obtain the best results from it. In other words, a wise man can only achieve maximum happiness when he gets those around him to understand him and share his wisdom. In reality, the dream of a sage is to live in a world of perfect beings, but if that is not possible, then he is only left with the option of dreaming of that world or trying to strive to make the present world perfect. The dream of a sage is not to be different from others, but to be surrounded by beings with the same spiritual level in order to live a normal life with them. In reality, being a prophet implies having an exciting life, but it also represents an exceptional and unstable situation, so whoever is in that situation tries to share their wisdom with the rest of society to regain lost stability with them. This is the real reason that Jesus died, because it is better to risk dying defending what is exciting, than living doing what is boring.
Nor should we get carried away by the supposed "superpowers" that are attributed to the most spiritually evolved beings, because the wisdom of philosophers is only metaphysical knowledge, but the fact that we can possess it does not imply that this knowledge allows us to handle matter at will our whim. The supposed miraculous abilities that are attributed to beings endowed with a high spiritual level are just ornaments that religious domes use to attract the ignorant masses in order to take advantage of them. In turn, the ignorant masses are not overly concerned with metaphysical teachings because they are looking for remedies for their everyday problems. In other words, they do not really place as much importance on spiritual teachings as they do with solving their material problems, which is why religious leaders turn spiritual qualities into material so that ancient philosophers appear more attractive.
The power that a philosopher can have is found in the plane of knowledge and not in that of matter, because his activity is directed mainly to the study of metaphysics. The study of matter corresponds more to scientists who deal with physics. It is true that in the past some priests managed to perform surprising phenomena during the rituals in which they invoked the gods, but in these cases it was not the priests who performed these strange phenomena, but the spirits or extraterrestrial beings with whom they communicated. . Perhaps this is the origin of magic, nowadays turned into sleight of hand. The ancient magic would then be the consequence of combining some knowledge of chemistry with the intervention of spirits or extraterrestrial beings.
There are those who say, although it is not certain, that Jesus was only a humble man who joined the sect of the Essenes because he had spiritual concerns, this sect, apparently, was trying to develop its own concept of religion with methods somewhat different from the usual ones. . When they saw fit, the leaders of this organization sent John the Baptist to try to convert a society they considered deviated from the right path. After the death of John they decided to send Jesus for the same purpose, Jesus was crucified, because his ideas were too modern for the time. Those who gain power as a consequence of following the established system see anyone who wants to change it as a threat, because for them the important thing is not social progress, but to preserve their privileges.
The excessive similarity between the life of Krishna and that of Jesus is surprising as to be coincidence, even the name Christ that is used to refer to Jesus is pronounced almost the same, the most likely explanation is because the sect of the Essenes included in their philosophical theory ideas from India, that explains why the religious of the time did not hesitate to reject it. In other words, Christianity, in its origins, was possibly the result of a fusion of Jewish beliefs with others from India. Perhaps the apostles called Jesus Christ because they considered him a reincarnation of Krishna. What is evident is that the apostles would never have tried to use the life of Krishna to fill in the unknown parts of the life of Jesus without having felt admiration for this Eastern philosophy. The great similarity between Judaism, Christianity and Hinduism is also striking, because all three religions promote spiritual good and values almost identically. The cause of this similarity is surely due to the fact that during their captivity in Babylon, the Hebrews assimilated some of the teachings of Zoroaster and integrated them into Judaism. Zoroastrianism was also brought to India by the Aryans where it favored the emergence of Hinduism, then Hinduism returned to the West to influence Judaism and from this influence arose the congregation of the Essenes that gave rise to Christianity.
In reality, the religion of the Hebrews was never something constant, because at first they were only a polytheistic people not very different from those around them, but during their passage through Egypt they met the religion that considered the sun as the most important star of the system Solar, which favored them to accept monotheism, later, gradually, the worship of the sun was replaced by the belief in a single universal god superior to any star or planet, because they understood that God can never be a part and can only represent the everything. Perhaps the contact in the desert with superior extraterrestrial or spiritual beings that instilled in them as fundamental principles the defense of monotheism and justice contributed to this. Later, during their passage through Babylon, they assimilated some aspects of the religion of Zoroaster. This religion encouraged defending good and rejecting evil to complete moral progress. These ideas were also reflected in the old testament that includes the events prior to their passage through Babylon, and they were quite common to a greater or lesser extent in ancient religions. At that time, the Hebrews only lacked one thing for their religion to be perfect and that is to recognize the existence of reincarnation, this philosophical idea was already common in India at that time and if Jesus had not died it is possible that in the Nowadays it was another element within Christianity or Judaism, this can be deduced, because although Jesus did not disclose this belief or at least he did not do it publicly, however, it can be assumed that he believed in it, due to the fact that After his death, the apostles decided to add many things about Krishna in his supposed biography.
The belief in reincarnation was not so strange in ancient times, in fact, it seems that the religion of the Druids (which was fully widespread in Europe before Roman rule) also included this belief. It was the materialism of the Egyptians that prevented this belief from being common throughout the world today, because they believed in the life of the spirit after death, but linked to the preservation of the dead body with the idea of its later resurrection, for This is why they gave so much importance to keeping the corpses intact. This is an aberrant and unnatural idea, because after death the body must return to earth and the spirit must ascend to the spiritual world, but when the Hebrews passed through Egypt they assimilated this belief that finally arrived in Europe with Christianity.
After the death of Jesus, many sects derived from Christianity arose that, although they were supposedly based on his teachings, nevertheless, had the objective of creating organizations with a clear ambition for power because they acted in a way similar to how the church later did catholic These organizations gave more importance to praising the founder of the sect than to propagating Christian philosophy. They also used the characters that appeared in the Bible to justify their sect, thus, for example, some claimed to be followers of the Virgin, others of Judas and there were even followers of Cain. They were more like today's sports clubs that celebrated their stars and rivaled their opponents more than organizations dedicated to seeking the truth. This is how the apocryphal testaments arose more derived from rumors and the imagination of their authors than from verified facts, therefore, it is a mistake to rely on them as if they were indisputable evidence if what it is about is to judge the life of Jesus. Some of its content may be true, but it is impossible to know which part is true and which part is pure fantasy.
In any case, what we know about Jesus today is a neutral and sweetened version designed in order to please all social currents and thus attract more followers, but if he existed in the present he would take concrete positions that would provoke support of some and the rejection of others, because it is not possible to be a prophet committed to social problems without provoking the adherence or rejection of the parties involved. Because what was Jesus really like? Surely, those who created the myth wanted to make a Jesus tailored to each person, capable of satisfying and adapting to the myths and interests that each one has, even if they are opposed. Surely he was partly as told, but not elsewhere, so we must move away from the myth and look for the man in order to understand how he really was.
THE CLEMENCY OF JESUS
Some say that Jesus always turned the other cheek when someone wanted to attack him, but this is absurd, because when he flogged the merchants and overturned their tables so that they would leave the temple, he showed that when circumstances made it inevitable, he was also capable of fighting. This he did because he considered it a provocation to use the temple for commercial purposes instead of using it for its religious function.
The Passover of the Jews was near and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. In the temple he found the merchants of oxen, sheep, pigeons and money changers sitting at their tables. And making a whip of ropes, he drove them all out of the temple with the sheep and oxen, then scattered the money changers' coins and overturned their tables. (John 2:13).
In reality, most of the phrases that are attributed to Jesus are symbolic, therefore, those who judge him only by those phrases that in most cases have an indirect message associated with them make a mistake. When Jesus spoke of turning the other cheek, what he was trying to indicate is that when someone provokes you to make you react and make you appear violent, then the best is to turn the other cheek to discredit the provocateur. This can also happen in an inferior situation where it is clear that you will lose if you fight.
There are also those who say that Jesus proposed to love enemies, but what sense can it have for someone to love those who hurt them? It is evident that none, so we must extract the teaching that is associated with it. In this case, what Jesus advocated is avoiding cruelty when an enemy is defeated, because the fact that someone deviates from the right path does not mean that for that reason they should receive eternal damnation. We must offer our enemies or criminals the opportunity of forgiveness, but not when they say they repent to obtain mitigating sentences for their sentences, but when the repentance is sincere and they have compensated the victims for the damage caused, because forgive a scoundrel who being a scoundrel is the same as becoming an accessory to his crimes.
We should not make the mistake of literally believing what they tell us about Jesus or other famous religious leaders, because there is no one in the universe who cannot be wrong, furthermore, to literally believe in what is written on paper is to become the puppet of those who translate, modify or interpret that role. Whoever seeks the truth must go to the source, that is, they must strive to discover the truth even if that means questioning the opinions of ancient religious leaders. Only when we are willing to go to the source and seek the truth is it possible to make the world progress.
