Reply #57: My belief is that Jesus was a real being

[LaurenG]

He was born of a virgin, Mary is believed to have been born (according to the Catholics and others) September 8, the sign of Virgo, therefore a virgin. The entire bible has been mis handled since the beginning. We were not taught or given the correct interpretation according to the faith of the day. People relied on astrology, the three wise men used astrology. The verse saying "follow the man with the water jug, there I will meet you" may very well mean when the age of Aquarius comes about all will have opportunity to become Christed (as Jesus was Christed)To be Christed is to transcend limits. We are meant to do and be much more than we are at present. Many people here "know" this, feel this but cannot communicate it by means other than the knowledge and words that they have.

Christ said of his works, "these and more things shall ye do also". So what is Christianity really about? Obviously not what the fanatics are teaching. In fact I believe the Catholic Church has information and relics and proof that they have kept secret that would change everything. I think we have been fooled. Not just Christians, but everyone. I would not be surprised in the least if information to this affect comes trickling out very shortly. Religion has been used to control the masses. I believe the time has come to look through the lens of spirituality instead. Even atheists are spiritual beings. (spirit:the essential nature of a person or group)

There in lies our "salvation". Work together, honor each other and the gifts of the planet and lead by example is the best we can hope for at this time. What we need to know is available in many forms. In the end I believe that ALL paths lead home.
