from Jesus:
The entire situation around
my crucifixion is a very complex and profound topic, and at some point
I will release further details. However, for now let me focus on your
question.
Did I physically survive the crucifixion? The short answer to that question
is a no. My physical body did indeed die on the cross. If my body had
been brought to a modern hospital, the doctors would have pronounced
it dead.
This leaves the question of how I could appear after my crucifixion
in a body that people perceived to be a normal physical body. To answer
that question, I need to give you a bit of background information.
If you are a scientific materialist, you must reason that human thoughts,
feelings, individuality and personality are all the products of chemical
processes in the physical brain. Therefore, there is no possibility
that any of it can survive the death of the physical body. Obviously,
such a person must reject the idea of my resurrection and my appearance
after the crucifixion.
Strangely, many orthodox or literal Christians also seem to have a restricted
view of the soul and its survival after death. Although many Christians
believe in the existence of a soul, orthodox Christianity finds it difficult
to explain what the soul is and what happens to the soul after death.
I am aware that many Christians are somewhat attached to the orthodox
view of the soul. Yet, I must tell you that there is much to know about
the soul, which is not currently part of orthodox Christianity. If you
have a somewhat open mind, I would advise you to study some of the many
near-death experiences that have been published over the last decades.
So many people have had such experiences and these experiences have
so many similarities that any person living in a rational age, be they
Christians or scientific materialists, should be able to see that near-death
experiences reveal something important about life after death.
Having said this, let me state clearly that the soul is a spiritual
being that only resides in the physical body for a season. What happens
to the soul after death depends very much on the individual person.
The deciding factor is the person’s state of consciousness and
the person’s attainment (or lack of it) on the spiritual path
that leads back to God.
As I explained in the answer to another question,
when a soul violates the laws of God, it incurs a debt to life. This
debt must be paid back before a soul can permanently ascend into the
spiritual realm. If a person dies before paying back its debt, the soul
must return to Earth. The soul is given an opportunity, even many opportunities
if required, to pay back its debt to life by taking on another physical
body.
What happens to a soul after death, if that soul is not ready to permanently
ascend to heaven? The soul leaves the body behind, never to return to
that particular body. The body is simply dissolved into its basic matter
components, and it will never be used again by that or any other soul.
The soul moves into a different level of God’s creation, where
it resides for a time until it can receive another opportunity to descend
into a physical body. The destination of the disembodied soul is determined
by the soul’s state of consciousness before death. This is accurately
described by many near-death experiences.
Mind over body
When a soul is ready to permanently ascend into the spiritual realm,
the situation is different. In many cases, an ascending soul does indeed
leave the physical body behind, and that body is dissolved. The soul
ascends in a spiritual or light body, and it uses this body in the spiritual
realm. In some cases, a soul can go through a physical ascension through
which the body is raised in vibration until it reaches the vibration
of the spiritual realm and therefore, literally, disappears from the
material universe.
You need to understand what I have explained elsewhere
on this website, namely that the entire material universe is made from
spiritual energy that has been lowered in vibration. Spiritual energy
is literally a manifestation of the consciousness of God. Therefore,
as modern scientists will discover and prove within the next few decades,
everything in the material universe is literally created from subtle
energies which are a form of consciousness.
Because everything in the material universe is created from consciousness,
the mind of a conscious being has the capacity to influence matter.
The old idea of mind over matter is true, and one day science will prove
this beyond any reasonable doubt. In fact, science has already proven
this for people with an open mind.
As you grow on the spiritual path and begin to put on your personal
Christhood, that Christhood will allow your conscious mind to recognize
and accept that everything in the material universe is created from
God’s consciousness. As you begin to unite with the Christ consciousness,
you also begin to realize that your mind has the capacity to control
matter.
A materialistic scientist will automatically reject the miracles that
I performed, such as turning the water into wine, healing the sick,
raising the dead or walking on water. Even many Christians reject these
events as literal or actual events. However, as you begin to put on
your personal Christhood, you will gradually realize that these events
were not actually miracles. I simply used certain divine laws, namely
the spiritual laws that are above the material laws used to create this
universe. When you attain an awareness of the spiritual laws, you can
use them to override the material laws that seem so absolute to people
in a lower state of consciousness.
What I am trying to explain here is that as you put on your personal
Christhood, you naturally attain some mastery over matter. This empowers
you to produce some of the miracles that I produced. That is why I said
that people who believe on me shall do the works that I did.
When a soul has attained personal Christhood, that soul is fully aware
that it will not die with the physical body. The soul realizes that
the physical body is simply a manifestation of consciousness. Such a
soul does not have to go through the death of the physical body. In
my case, I chose to go through the crucifixion and the death of the
physical body for several reasons. One of these reasons was to demonstrate
that the mind, the Christ mind, has mastery over matter.
The appearances of Jesus
After the death of my physical body, my soul, at first, left the body
behind. However, I then raised the vibrations of the physical body until
it disappeared from the material universe, and that is why the tomb
was found empty. I then descended to Hell in an attempt to awaken the
souls that were stuck at that level of consciousness. After that, I
started appearing to my disciples. For 40 days I appeared daily to a
small group of disciples, and I helped them develop a vision for the
emergence of Christianity. However, I appeared infrequently to people
for over 50 years after my crucifixion.
It is not incorrect to call my appearances for apparitions. Some of
them were indeed apparitions in the sense that I did not appear in a
physical body that human beings could touch. The exact nature of a given
appearance was determined by the purpose for that appearance, which
was dependent upon the consciousness of the people to whom I appeared.
Some of my disciples had attained a level of consciousness in which
they could see me in my light body. Therefore, I could contact these
disciples without manifesting a physical body.
As the scriptures record, other disciples had not attained that level
of consciousness. Therefore, I did indeed appear in a physical body
to some disciples. Although this body seemed identical to my discarded
physical body, even with the signs of the crucifixion, it was a body
that was manifested for that particular appearance. However, it was
a physical body that could eat food and be touched by human beings.
I am not the only Ascended being in history who has manifested such
a physical body. I might indeed do so again, although, as explained
elsewhere, it will not be the second
coming envisioned by many Christians.
If you want to go into technicalities, you could say that the body in
which I appeared was not a human body, because it had not been born
of a woman and grown to adult age. Furthermore, the body would not age
or go through physical death. It would simply be raised to a higher
vibration, when it was no longer needed. The body was manifested from
spiritual energies that were temporarily lowered in vibration.
If a person would use this fact to argue that I did not appear in a
normal physical body, then so be it. However, I would remind such a
person that the entire material universe is made from spiritual energy
that has only temporarily been lowered in vibration. Therefore, what
human beings think of as a “normal” physical body is much
more than meets the eye.
The purpose of the resurrection
This leaves the question of what was the purpose for demonstrating the
process of the resurrection of the body. To explain this, let me refer
to a discovery made by modern science, namely the second law of thermodynamics.
This law states that in a closed system, entropy, meaning disorder,
will increase. On might say that if a system becomes closed to outside
influences, it will inevitably self-destruct.
This law can be applied to the entire material universe. I have said
that this universe is simply one part of a larger whole, and that there
are spiritual realms beyond this world. If the entire material universe
was cut off from any connection to the spiritual realm, then it would
inevitably self-destruct.
Throughout this website I have stated that the basic law of this universe
is the Law of Free Will. An individual human being can use this law
to shut off his or her connection to the spiritual world and the person’s
spiritual self. However, if you do shut off this connection, you will
inevitably descend into a lower state of consciousness than the Christ
consciousness. When you sink into this lower state of consciousness,
you will become subject to the material laws that govern this universe.
One of these laws is the second law of thermodynamics.
What the second law really says is that everything in the material universe
will inevitably return to its most basic components, unless it is sustained
by an impulse that comes from outside the material universe. That impulse
is the spiritual energy of God, and that energy can only enter this
universe through the consciousness of a spiritual being, including,
but not limited to, a human being in physical embodiment.
What I am saying here is that if a person shuts off the connection to
the spiritual self, that person becomes subject to the material laws.
Therefore, the person’s physical body will inevitably age, and
it will eventually die and be dissolved. The soul will not die with
the body, but in order to once again appear in the material universe,
the soul must go through the entire process of being born in a new physical
body and then grow to adult age.
What happens if a large number of people in a particular civilization
sink into a lower state of consciousness and lose the connection to
the spiritual realm? In that case, the entire civilization becomes subject
to the material laws, including the second law of thermodynamics. If
this condition is allowed to continue, the civilization will begin to
decay, and it might eventually self-destruct.
This has indeed happened to many civilizations in the past. The Bible
records some of these civilizations, and so does modern science. However,
I can tell you that there are many lost civilizations that human beings
currently do not know about. I can also prophesy that within the next
few decades, some of these lost civilizations will indeed be discovered
by modern science. This will necessitate a complete rethinking of the
history of humankind.
Let me return to my original question about the purpose of the resurrection.
I went through the crucifixion and the resurrection in order to demonstrate
that every human being has the potential to rise above the material
laws of this universe. Every human being has the potential to rise above
the decay and death of the physical body. When a person attains Christ
consciousness, that person can indeed raise the vibration of the physical
body so that the body is no longer subject to the material laws that
cause the body to age and die.
This was indeed one of the major purposes of my incarnation as Jesus
Christ. I came to demonstrate a path that all human beings have the
potential to follow. As explained elsewhere on this website,
that original purpose is not generally known or accepted by Christians
today. It is precisely to change this fact that I have sponsored this
website. Let those who have ears, hear my words.
