"i am" the resurrection
easter
the resurrection or the re-surrection ?
what's a 'surrection' anyway?
i know what an insurrection is
i think i know what resurrection is
but ... just what is a surrection .... source, that's what it is.
"surgere" is what exactly? more research needed!
so, april SUCKS!
so much death it is CRAZY!
iraq is off the hook ...
people are just killing one another left and right ... why?
why do i care? because i may not wake up tomorrow ... and if i don't ....
my baby girl has to see all this darkness have hope ... here's my hope:
that she is as bright and happy as possible ... now, today. (...and if mommy's happy, everyone's happy!)
what about tomorrow, its a nice thought, but today is manifest what you see is what you create. (perhaps the source my new affinity for the WYSIWYG programs!)
ask yourself, constantly, 'how can it get any better than this?' and start answering that question and making the changes to make it so.
the jesus idol ... his is not the way, "i am" is the way.
jesus is not the truth, "i am" is the truth.
jesus is not the life, "i am" is the life.
live "i am" and death comes and goes quickly and quietly like a thief in the night ... changing you to live more like "i am" ... waking up to a new day that is our's to create.
how can it get any better than this? ... my prayer, mr. bush is inspired by a man who's name used to be 'saul' this easter season.
peace & harmony,

The resurection means that God, is the God of love. It is the only way that those of us who believe in God can know that God isn't just playing dice with the world. Without the resurection everything we believe about Christianity fails, it isn't real. God, in Jesus, showed us that he loved us by allowing us to murder him and then coming back to save us from our own helpless folly.
I find your blog interesting.
anton ...
thank you. still researching the resurrection ...
glad to know god is still love.
i don't think 'we murdered jesus' though ... a politician/judge made a decision based on prejudice of weak people ... he died. it happened. he didn't have to even go down that road ... jesus had already ascended -- he was no longer bound to this earth and its physical reality. he made choice to do what he did in that regard, just like we all make choices that may get us killed. (like signing up for the marines these days!)
my folly is never helpless ... usually, just stubbornly disconnected from love and support that is available all the time.
peace & harmony,

I agree with Anton that your blog is quite interesting... I'm enjoying reading your thoughts on faith and the like. And I'm going to have to back him up on the murder thing. Christ actually had not yet ascended when we murdered him (Yes... I believe it was murder... pre-meditated on His part yes, but murder all the same). That's what makes the sacrifice so beautiful... He was still fully human and experiencing human pain when he was crucified. This has gotten way too long, so I'll end on this... I heard this once and it resounds in my head...
"Christ married a whore [us]. She cheated on Him... and then He died for her anyway."
martha,
thank you ...
i was referring to the transfiguration, which is an interdimensional journey, when jesus was joined by others who had done it before him and remained in the higher dimension and witnessed by those who probably just wished they could get there some day.
prior to his death ... his road was made known to him, he made his choice ... do you honestly think that he thought "i'm doing this for all of humanity" ... they can't survive if i don't do this. that would be the most egotistical human on the planet.
he just did his part, the thing he came to do. i think all this save the world stuff was crafted by a very clever emperor and those that knew how to orchestrate the power of the mass consciousness.
he, undoubtedly was an enlightened human who embodied the christ consciousness ... but 'greater things than this will you do ...' so, there's my challenge ...

Hey Elaine,
What a great dialogue we're all having here! Let me share a little bit of my personal experience with you. I didn't believe in Jesus for most of my life. Not only did I not believe that Jesus was anything special, I didn't even believe that the person in the stories ever existed. I do believe in Jesus now, and it is not because of those stories (though I'm glad now that I have them). I believe in Christ because I personally had an experience in which God changed my heart. I'd love to tell you more about it, and I'm actually going to publish the entire story soon on my blog. What is important is to realize that Jesus Christ is God, inseparably, that idea that humanity has been pursuing throughout the ages was and is in Christ Jesus and only in Him.
Thanks for reading my blog and I'm looking forward to reading more of your stuff.
anton,
i too believe jesus christ is god ... but i also believe that every human being ever born on the planet is god as well ... unless, of course, jesus was given as an example of who we can't be ... which is what most christians believe. i happen to have believed in jesus since i can remember ... and because of that, i have to believe that i am able to follow him because we are perhaps different individuals, but the same type of being. if that is not the case, there's no point or reason for me to even try to follow him ... because such would be impossible.
i also do not confuse 'christ' with 'jesus' ... they called him 'jesus christ' which is a name like when the pope got his new name.
peace & harmony,

this is a dialog that popped up on another one of my blogs ... i thought the comment most appropriately belonged here ...
St. Simon ...
i just wanted to reply to you (but no email was given) ... i've posted your comment more appropriately to my 'jesus idol' blog (http://jesusidol.blogspot.com) under my blog entitled, 'i am' the resurrection ... "located at http://jesusidol.blogspot.com/2006/04/i-am-resurrection.html"...
thanks for commenting though ... i appreciate your thoughts although i have some fundamental differences in my opinion than you, i am still learning and growing ...
here is my response to your comment below ...
whilst the bible says jesus said 'i am the way... ' he used the term 'i am' which has an esoteric meaning that does not mean 'i, this man you call jesus, is the way' ... but rather 'i am' or 'the god within us all' is the way (and, i am afraid, that is still an inadequate way to describe that very powerful concept).
jesus lived in his own unique 'i am' to fulfill his destiny ... that is our way to god ... our own unique 'i am' that will lead us to god.
i disagree that the good news is a relationship with god in jesus ... the good news is that everyone can have the relationship with god that jesus had ... that is power, that is love, that is truth ... jesus was a man like you and me. if not, god is cruel and the bible makes no sense whatsoever. if i am not a child of god too, what am i?
the bible was designed to make sure that most people do not understand that we are children of god like jesus was; that we too have the power of god that we can call on and use; that we can choose to embody the christ consciousness at any moment in time ... jesus wasn't trying to teach dependency on him for our relationship with god, but rather independence and freedom.
as for paul ... i was referring to all the text referenced in the post as being authored by paul ... did he condone killing and murdering people after his conversion? i do not recall any, but there are a lot of christians here in america who use his words (and that of the other new testament writers) to justify just that. the bible was constructed by constantine for the maximization of control of the people. it has been used and re-translated to that end ever since.
the bible is NOT the word of god, but, as paul wrote, it is a scripture that is inspired by god that is profitable for several things ... man designed it to be profitable for their own agenda. there is no other evidence that the bible constructed by constantine is anything more than a 'scripture' like many others, and its weight should be accepted accordingly.

I just spotted a comment you left on the supposed President Ahmedinajad blog. Whilst concurring about the "madness of 'king' George", I have to take issue with two pints in your comment.
First, "Jesus was the teacher, not the apostles". Whereas Buddha says don't follow me follow my teaching, Jesus says "follow me". He does not say "I will show you the way, the truth and the life", he says "I am the way, the tructh and the life". The Gospel is not about Jesus and his teaching, the Gospel IS Jesus. Jesus IS the Gospel. He does not bring a message of love from God - he IS a message of love from God. Christianity is not a doctrine or a code of ethics, its the re-establishment of a relationship with God in Jesus. (The ethics flow naturally from this).
Secondly, where does Paul justify killing people for their faith after his conversion?
