Jesus is ...

There is a great difference between the Truth and the fiction we are forced to accept in our everyday "reality." There is everything that this world is telling you, and there is what you are hearing, within. If all you hear inside you is a parroting of the outer world, then you are not listening.

If all you perceive is what the world pretends to be, then you do not see. Either you find the inner Light or you are lost in this dark world without a beacon.

As you may realize, those who are invested in trying to control you, and every facet of your life — the powers-that-be, the controllers, the educators, the Church and State — would rather put out your Light, your ability to find your own way, and your capacity for knowing the Truth. If you cannot see what is wrong, you cannot see what is right. This is why they are invested in making sure you cannot see what is wrong, with them. If they are always right, if they are infallible, then why would you turn anywhere else for what is truly right?

Why would you listen for the Truth within you? Why would you seek the Truth, the Light, the Way, and the Life of God and Christ, within?

People everywhere are misled and oppressed by false authority

Do you have undue regard, respect, fear or awe for people in authority, in governmental or religious organizations? You must know, they are not somehow better than everyone else, no matter how much spurious authority they assert, no matter how cunning, self-centered, self-assured, egotistical, arrogant, and deluded they may be. And, they surely are. They are often agents of Darkness, Satan. Or do you find our leaders to be all pure, noble, good, and selfless.

To question evil, oppressive, deceptive, false authority is to be condemned as a heretic, disloyal, irresponsible, or unpatriotic. Just listen to the pope or president; they claim absolute authority, deny all wrong, insist on deceiving and controlling us, and demand obedience to their will. The will of men, not God.

Those who have enacted and enforced an agenda of evil in this world, throughout history — via fear, torture, death, and total lies — have demanded blind obeisance, unthinking, unquestioning, unaware, and unsuspecting "followers." And, no matter how benign or loving or benevolent they or their institutions might appear, they always rule by fear. Countless people have feared mortal punishment or damnation of their soul by the church; yet church dogma has no ultimate validity. The Church has no role in your spiritual fate, or your "getting into heaven."

Laws today are enforced by fear, like the mine-field they have become, because they lack any true authority. The government does not even bother to write laws to agree with the Constitution any more. And, no one could accuse the Church of following the spiritual guidelines or morality of its own Bible.

Jesus came to save us from all of this, the corrupt religionists and statists. To remind us to find and follow God in our hearts. And to see and hear the difference between darkness and Light. The darkness of the world, and the light of God, Christ, Jesus.

Who really is listening to Jesus — and not just the Church?

Jesus really did go into the churches of his times, and throw out the money-lenders and the hypocrites who piously recited all the right words with the wrong heart and spirit, without conscience, truth, or true love of God. And, he would do no less in many of the churches of the present time. The organized church is, in many ways, a deceiver and denier of Truth. It is like a hospital in the Twilight Zone: you are admitted when you feel spiritually weak or "sick," but you never get to leave. The Church never says, "Okay, now you are spiritually well. Leave."

Ideologies are a trap, whether political or religious in nature. They are made for the "true believers," the ones who will fight for the Lie because they are unable to or unwilling to think for themselves. Ideology is a closed door for a closed mind.

Ideologies are a means by which the powers-that-be terrorize a society by subjugation to an idea — which is more often than not, wrong or misguided. How often have the Church and State themselves been wrong-minded, wrong-spirited, self-righteous, heartless, or even mercilessly evil? Ideologies are most often a means for excusing and justifying the worst inhumanity. The problem is not solely in the Church and State, or those we allow to lead us. The problem is inherent in our refusal to be responsible for or think for ourselves.

You should know, that just because someone holds a Bible in their hand does not make them right, good, or true. No matter how popular the church, even if it has a billion members.

Jesus does not care what words fall from your lips, he cares what is written in your heart. He did not make you a sheep to be sheared, or to be part of a flock ruled by fear. Today, members of the Roman Catholic Church are told that if they miss any one small step — even one weekly confession — when they die they will go to Hell. Jesus would say, Satan and his demons are in charge of the Church today. And the more things change, the more they stay the same.

Find Jesus in your heart. And be free from the darkness.
