Did you ever listen to Jordan Maxwel's "
chief cornerstone"?
This is a concept of Jesus which makes sense to me.
In a nutshell: Jesus is said to be the chief cornerstone, which means the top of the pyramid.
The concept of the pyramid is that you start at the bottom when life begins and that you make your way to the top of the pyramid until you finally reach the chief cornerstone which is spiritual and intellectual elightenment. The final concept of Jesus is one's own enlightenment.
Our religions tell us that it was all “god” who created the universe and us.
Maybe the big confusion, when we discuss theses subjects, is that God and Jesus were made into something “external” (Corinthians, 1, 3.16: “Don’t you know that you yourselves are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit lives in you”)?
Those people I met, who found God inside, no matter what believes they have, are deeply religious, and a lot of them are fully aware about being connected to the creator and the universe.
Didn’t just this external displacement make us irresponsible concerning our creations and even towards our higher self? Was Jesus not buried in Golgotha, the “place of the skull” (maybe our own head) just because of that? Is it that we don’t find our spirituality because we look outside? (excuse my english)
“You’ve been told many times before Messiah pointed to the door but no one has the guts to leave the temple” The Who, Tommy, Rock Opera
Most of the time people say “my soul”, and by saying “my”, they refer to something external. Apparently this is so meaningless to some, that they sell it at Ebay because they don’t have any use for it.
When we look for God at the outside, then we can also push all the responsibility on him and we can fight wars in his name. What if we would have to take the responsibility for that ourselves?
Do we create this external god to escape our own responsibility?
I find people who do things "in the name of god" most frightening.
