Christ Second Coming II
What if HE is already here?
I think that MAYBE… New Agers are to Christians what Christians were to Jews. Jews weren’t prepared for a message of God coming from a dude who made SO many miracles and behaved in such an arrogant way (I know Jesus was modest, but he came saying he was the Son of God and giving himself a lot of importance, something that had never occurred in Judaism) that they just couldn’t accept that THAT was a message from God. Besides, rules changed, this guy didn’t say “you can’t eat pig meat” or “eye for an eye”; instead, he said “what’s bad is what comes out of your mouth, not what gets in” and “if you are slapped in one side, offer the other one”.
Humans from year 1500BC (Moises’s time) were not the same as from year 0; not only that: humanity was not the same. At the time of Jesus, the Western World was so much more united than 1500 years before that a religion for all humanity was something possible, and so Christianity could easily spread worldwide.
Now, an important data: Christianity was not officially accepted until fourth century when Rome “accepted” it. That is, there was no religious book, nor an officially and legal Church; so, in a sense, there was no Christianity, or at least it was “not spread enough”…
Christianity appeared in the same country as its older brother Judaism and then it spread to the known world.
And what is Christianity? In a few words, is like Judaism: love, unite people, trust and follow the Ultimate God. But, it adds freedom. Christians are no longer chained to a lot of useless rules like Jews, they don’t need to restrict their foods, nor do they have to cut their prepuce, nor do they confine their religion to one country; and the chains of ego, of the existence of “me” are also levered.
Now, let’s take a look at recent history.
Renaissance made a new kind of human… Let’s take DaVinci as an example: smart, strong, cultivated, without sexual taboos, with artistic skills, wise, with a lot of knowledge, doing a lot of things all at the same time, with engineering skills, caring about philosophy and religion (or spirituality, if you prefer) as well as flying and diving machines and math, etc. Along with DaVinci, a lot of other people had similar qualities. In a few words, Renaissance is the same as Christianity: it shows and spreads love through paintings and sculptures, it worships God by respecting the divine proportion, and it unites people by teaching all the values and ways of Renaissance’s thinking throughout Europe. Still, the most distinct quality I see is: freedom. Renaissance freed people from Catholicism, from Christianity. Martin Luther created “new Christianities”. People didn’t listen to the Pope any longer. The Earth was not flat anymore. Modern science started to grow…
And where did all of this happen? In Italy! The same country where the most wide spread Christianity has its Holy Place! It’s like Renaissance were some kind of younger brother of Christianity!
And about 300 years later or so (a similar amount of time as to that of “Christianity’s ascension”), a movement emerges: Theosophical Society, which tries to unite people across the world and free everyone from their closed point of view which defends a certain doctrine. Theosophists were people who tried to do a lot of stuff at the same time and were influenced by an inner strength similar to that of Renaissance. No one knows where it came from, not the one from Renaissance, nor the one from Theosophists. So, in a certain manner, Theosophists created an “official” Renaissance because it had “statements” and an “organization”. An as time passed, Theosophists evolved into New Age. In a few words, New Agers: bring love to the world, try to unite everyone, worship God and teach about liberation, liberation of our closed-mind points of view, whether is because of religion or science or culture.
Where was this Theosophical Society founded? In New York. United States is like the new Rome (as well as the new Babylon, but that’s another story :). United States has the same role in conquering the world and uniting cultures and imposing ONE way than that of his older brother Rome.
Don’t you see the patterns?
Christ came about 500 years ago! And now he is “institutionalizing”! Of course, most Christians won’t notice, as Jews didn’t. They are expecting for Christ to come the same way he did about 2000 years ago. They’ve always followed a book, and some rules which seem to be carved in stone (a similar position as that of Jews!). And they are expecting one man to make miracles and follow him, not a big group of humans who are “miraculous” just by rebelling against society and being more human, doing a lot of stuff at the same time, being rebels, trying to unite humanity in one belief which doesn’t care about individual religions or philosophies… Christians don’t seem prepared to “a different way of manifestation of Christ”.
People are different! A lot of time has passed since Christ came the first time! Rules are different! Humanity is older! Why would we have to be the same way as Christ said 2000 years ago? Why would he reveal in the same manner?
Finally, my idea is…
Until the coming of Renaissance-Theosophy-New Age, Christianity was the healthiest religion on Earth. It taught about love, freedom and God. What else does a religion needs to spread? Still, it tends to make us dependent on God, it doesn’t realize that God is all around us and we can learn from it directly and that WE can be divine, and it chains us to a superior being and puts us against other religions. New Agers teach about love, freedom and God. BUT, they free us COMPLETELY (mind, body, spirit, soul, conscience, etc.[in case there is “something else”]), open the doors to UNLIMITED love (not strained by love to Christ or love to a single “women/man of your life”, and some New Agers even tell you to love a stone :), show us who REALLY is God: EVERYTHING; that is, science, religions, the Universe with all its laws (gravity as well as cause-effect and phi ;), conscience, the human being as a unity, humanity as a whole, planet Earth, the Sun with its effects on us, past, present, future, love, etc.; and tell us that we can TOUCH God, we can be like him, we only have to CONNECT with it, to breath “him”, to understand “him”, to control “him”…
That being said, I think New Age has space for everyone. Non-believers can find proofs in “miraculous” healings and telepathic communication. Christians can find similarities between New Agers and Christ. Other religions might deduce that New Age is a better religion for them, since it doesn’t spread aggressiveness or imposition, and it opens the doors to Divine Knowledge (that should be more than enough! For a reasonable person…). Along with New Age comes REAL God, ULTIMATE freedom and UNLIMITED love; and that translates into world peace, tolerance, development, evolution, health, understanding, knowledge, cooperation, happiness, wisdom, technology, self-control, joy, pleasure, smiles, hugs, life, connection with the Universe, deeper connection with humans, new human skills, advanced known skills, and much more!
