Christos has nothing to do with Jesus



While sitting in a quiet moment I had a fearful experience. A feeling welled up inside and then without hearing any words I knew that "I am Christos". The hallucination was very clear, not Jesus but Christos. The experience was not simply a non-auditory, non-visual hallucination, for it came with deep feelings for which words cannot do justice, but sustaining, dynamic, and immensely intelligent love is the best I can conjure. However wonderful the feelings were, a little later I found my mind debating and deciding that this experience was upsetting and fearful. I identified with society's condemnation of crazies who preach about Jesus being within and I dreaded being turned into some type of wild-eyed preacher you encounter in main streets of cities promising eternal salvation.

But the feelings continued, so I googled the spelling of the word Christos and it came back as a Greek title given to a "good man". And google also gave a link to a site which strongly stated that Christos had nothing to do with Jesus Christ. And the feeling returned over the weeks. I even told a close friend and she agreed that I was going crazy.  But then, a few weeks later, doing something entirely unrelated, I stumbled onto John Lash's website at www.metahistory.org.

Lash documents the Nag Hammadhi scrolls, fragments of ancient Coptic/Greek texts, a tiny sliver of the amalgamation of gnostic stories from the hallucinations and visions of many shaman over many thousands of years. The stories mentioned that the Aeon Christos had given assistance to the Aeon that resides as earth (Sophia) to help her with technical details of creating the life on this planet (an Aeon being an unimaginable resident of the galactic core). This just blew my mind. My whole body was electrified as I read this story. The feeling within that had called me Christos danced with joy inside. My mental mind was sceptical, but my heart "knew" the truth. However, my mind was not entirely without discernment, for the story of Sophia and Christos was so much more vast, grand, and in alignment with the complexity that I observe in nature. This story has to be an oversimplifcation of reality, but it felt to be a truthful simplification. The main point was that Christos was part of all life on this planet. There was no need to feel self-important about the feeling of being Christos, for it was in every part of life on this world. And the story of Sophia is so moving, with tragedy and substance, and the vision of Christos lending a helping hand to the wonders that Sophia was living and growing through her brought a deep appreciation not often felt in the distracting activities of this world.

Lash's website would have been enough but I dug a little deeper, and quickly found another source that provided confirmation of my own experiences.  AE (George William Russell) in Candle of Vision, 1918, pp. 172-173 poetically states:
“We have so passed away from vital contact with divine powers that they have become for most names for the veriest abstractions. and those who read do not know that the Mighty Mother is that Earth on which they tread and whose holy substance they call common clay; or that the Paraclete is the strength of our being, the power which binds atom to atom and Earth to Heaven: or that the Christos is the Magician of the Beautiful and that it is not only the Architect of the God-world but is that in us which sees beauty, creates beauty, and it is verily wisdom in us and is our deepest self; or that the Father is the fountain of substance and power and wisdom, and that we could not lift an eyelash but that we have our being in Him.”

AE used the exact same name and described with great beauty the architect Christos as being our deepest self, identical to what my experience was attempting to communicate.

These accounts of direct experiences were a confirmation of my own experiences, a vital antidote in this world of forced fake beliefs, fake rituals, and fake authority. I realized why the Empire has obliterated every fragment of gnostic teaching, and the lifestyle of those who have a mystical connection to nature, AND in its stead promoted the world over, a tricksy deceptive alternative story, that of Jesus Christ. The beyond-epic story of the Christos intervention which lives in us today, the second most dramatic episode of Gnostic history (after Sophia mistakenly leaving the galactic core), is diverted into a story about ONE man, who was the sun (sic) of an external God, who came down to save us from our innate sinful nature. But I did not experience anything about an innate sinful nature, but rather the opposite: a wonderful growing love. The imagineless authorities knew that people would experience the living Christos and therefore pushed a perverted and twisted story. People experiencing their Christos within, would be diverted and tricked into misinterpreting their experiences, and their error would drive them into the arms of a hierarchical religion, (whereas Christos is the opposite of hierarchy). This knowledge accessible to all (from nature) was transformed into a story of self-sacrifice to the empire, and worse, the self-destruction of nature and mankind; for those destructive outcomes occur as a result of the necessary mind-set and distorted thinking for individuals to submit to an external authority.

Fear of (Hallucinatory) Direct Knowing Emanated from the New Religion of Science

Fear generated from directly knowing anything with a religious connation is also produced by the new religion of science. While the religious institutions that take credit for and interpret your experience for you, the material world of corporate science loudly proclaims that these experiences are a malfunctioning brain chemistry. So the alternative interpretation, among the two bad choices, is that you must ignore this experience and bury it or else risk insanity and pharmaceutical drugs, the chemical lobotomies of our time. Take your pick! In either case, carefully designed and purposefully implanted interpretations, are performing their designed function. Anything that takes us away from the flow, from a relationship with our conscience and its higher functions, any imagined fear or story, however irrational, is enough to derail the natural process. The mis-leaders care most of all to lead us from the path, but what if they have designed an alternative pathway that leads into pre-designed traps? This would make sense, for the deceivers have had centuries to design such mechanisms. Religion is important because it is where questions of self-experience with alternative worlds apparently have answers. But even if religion is entirely ignored, as say by a scientist, the hammer of science will fall to frighten the individual to ignore the experience. In either case, the mis-leaders have achieved success, for non-belief and active ignorance will be a powerful force against the direct personal encounters of the spiritual kind.


The Temptation of Self Importance and Self Sacrifice by Christianity

A second purpose of religious machinery when interpreting spiritual experiences is to induce self-importance, which will be the downfall of any who give into the self-importance temptation. Jesus Christ was obviously a good man, but he is a pale imitation of Christos. The prime deception is to transform the unimaginable Aeon Christos into a man. Worse, he is one man that “saved” the world. To have direct connection with this most important man, exalted above all, is yourself to be exalted. At least that is how the religious authorities will tempt you. But beware, the other part of the Jesus story is pure sickness; the absolutely disgusting supposed redemption by Jesus via torture and suffering inflicted by the Empire/Authority. As if the suffering itself was the greatest vision we can hold. As Lash says, only those within the Empire doing the torturing and inflicting suffering would have written the story in that way.

What I learned was that so called “divine experiences” are no big deal, one I am thankful that it exists, but is a common component of human beings. Christos is not even exclusive to human beings but lives in all of nature. The experiences are humbling as much as they are uplifting. But how depressing is it to realize that most of humanity invests all their energy in distractions designed to avoid any revelation from direct knowing using our connection with nature. Most people spend most of their lives trying to frantically avoid any contact with a higher self, by distractions which refuse to get quiet. Even if you are not religious, analyse your television and entertainment; movies and tv are infused with the mistaken ideals taken from the story of Jesus, that work to serve the Empire.

Empire deals with an encounter with Christos very cleverly, There is a self-importance trap to either: fall into and become a crazy religious nut; or, to reject outright and become a hollow machine man. And like the political parties there are only two bad choices to choose from, or so Empire wants you to believe.


The True Purpose of Christos for Man is Error Correction or Wisdom

The first error that Christos revealed is that there is no innate sin or evil in man, instead there is an infinite well of love that nature will provide. This error correction was achieved by the Christos linking its energy to the part of Christos within my own consciousness. This communication is the very pulse of life one vaguely feels may or may not be supporting existence. However, other error corrections are less uplifting, for the conscience is tip of the Christos infinite monolith, and Christos will show us our mistakes; uncomfortable truths that distractions will only temporarily hide. But we are not evil, merely fallible. So there is a subtle but very important distinction: error is not the same as an innate evil; therefore, there is no Jesus or any other man that can redeem or save us, for there is no innate state from which we need to be saved from.

Of course, if we do not correct our mistakes then the suffering of ourselves and others will multiply with each error piled on error. But we can correct our errors, we are not alone but have nature and Christos on our side. Is it really difficult to lose self-importance to confront the reality of our mistakes? It is easier to let it go of self-importance for it is a cessation of struggle, but we find excuses, we can find a way to go along with Empire. Meanwhile, Empire is commandeered by those who believe only in their self-importance and who have made so many dreadful errors that they approach the definition of evil. Their house of cards is piled so high, the distorted perception so coloured, that they do not want reality to tell them the truth that they are wrong, and that the world's suffering is due to their power hungry errors.

It is healthy for man to admit that CHRISTOS IS WITHIN, with full understanding that it is nothing special, given to all life, part of the divine world in which we live. In other words, as long as I follow the conscience within and have faith in my innate goodness, and as long as I throw away the tricksy lies of the Bible and external Gods, or limitations proclaimed by men of corporate science or any Authority, I am the opposite of crazy to know that CHRISTOS lives within, for I sense it directly, and so do you.
