The One

Updated Jul 2, 2015

WORK IN PROGRESS:

This post is a work in progress and is subject to changes, revisions, edits and deletions.

Here are some notes about Jesus and The One, people from scripture and The One, and the different religions and The One:

1. Jesus And The One
• Jesus said he would be seated at the right hand of the power of God. (Luke 22:69, Interlinear)
• Jesus is one state and "the power of God" is another state. Both states exist within one person, that person being The One.
• Muslims believe that in the end times, Isa (Jesus) will return to help The Mahdi ("guided one"). This is consistent with Luke 22:69 above.
• Isa (Jesus) is one state and The Mahdi is another state. Both states exist within one person, that person being The One.
• Jesus (the state of Jesus) will unite Israel, as Jesus himself said, "I was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel." (Matthew 15:24, NIV)
• The One (the state of The One) will unite the whole world into One, as it is written, "... they will all know me, from the least of them to the greatest ..." (Jeremiah 31:34, NIV) 
2. People From Scripture And The One:
• In the end times, Elijah is expected to return, as it is written, "See, I will send the prophet Elijah to you before that great and dreadful day of the LORD comes." (Malachi 4:5, NIV)
• In fact, everyone will return - from Adam and Eve, to Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, King David, the prophets, Jesus, the prophet Muhammad and all others mentioned in Scripture. Scripture is the story of our attainment and adhesion with The Creator, and The One will attain all these different states. All these different states are attained by one person, that person being The One.
3. Different Religions And The One:
• Different religions are expecting someone to return in the end times:
• Jews are expecting the mashiach (The Messiah, "anointed one"). [2]
• Christians are expecting the second coming of Jesus. [3]
• Muslims are expecting The Mahdi and Isa (Jesus). [1]
• Other different religions are also expecting someone too.
• That person is The One. The different religions will coalesce, come together in one person, that person being The One.

Jesus is a state within The One, all people mentioned in Scripture will return as different states within The One, and the person the different religions are expecting to return in the end times is in fact one person, that person being The One.

In everything we do, we should seek to benefit others instead of ourselves.

Jesus, Love, and The Pharisees and Sadducees

Jesus taught about love, yet he openly criticized the Pharisees and Sadducees, even calling them a 'brood of vipers' (Matthew 3:7, NIV).

The question is - isn't this a contradiction? Shouldn't someone who teaches about love, love everyone equally?

The answer is - it's not a contradiction because you can't assume that Jesus' attitude towards the Pharisees and Sadducees wasn't coming from a place of love:

1. He may have known that they were going to kill him and knowingly set them up to hate him, putting events in motion that would ultimately lead to his death.
2. He may have been using them as an example, to teach people what NOT to be and how NOT to behave.
3. Just as a parent disciplines a child who misbehaves, he may have been reprimanding them for their bad behaviour, because they were leading people astray.
4. There may have been other reasons as well.

Love comes in many shapes and forms, but that doesn't mean we can do whatever we want, not at all. In everything we do, we should seek to benefit others instead of ourselves.

This example is given for teaching purposes only. Remember, Scripture talks only about our internal qualities.

We Become Servants To Great People

If we think a person is great, we treat them very well. They bring out the best in us and we become servants to them, doing anything to make them happy.

Of course this is rooted in selfishness because we expect a reward - fame by association, the prestige of being seen with an important person, potential personal profit and gain, honor etc.

We should get to a point where we think everyone is as great as the greatest person we know, and we should treat them as well as we'd treat the greatest person we know.

If we become benevolent servants to others, we shouldn't expect anything in return, we shouldn't expect a personal reward. The only thing we should expect is to bring contentment to The Creator by seeking to benefit others instead of ourselves.

• Christians:
• Treat others as you would treat Jesus.
• If Jesus were a homeless beggar, how would you treat him?
• Jesus said, "... whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me." (Matthew 25:40, NIV)
• Muslims:
• Treat others as you would treat Muhammad.
• If Muhammad were a homeless beggar, how would you treat him?
• Jews:
• Treat others as you would treat Abraham.
• If Abraham were a homeless beggar, how would you treat him?
• Hindus:
• Treat others as you would treat Krishna.
• If Krishna were a homeless beggar, how would you treat him?
• Buddhists:
• Treat others as you would treat Buddha.
• If Buddha were a homeless beggar, how would you treat him?

We're all one family and we have to start treating each other as one family. We're different and we have different roles to play, but we're all equal.

In everything we do, we should seek to benefit others instead of ourselves.
We should treat others as well as we'd treat the greatest person we know.

Great People

Let's say you met Jesus, or Muhammad, or Buddha, or Krishna. How would you treat them? You'd probably treat them very well because you think they're great.

Jesus said, "...whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me." (Matthew 25:40, NIV)

We should get to a point where others are great in our eyes and we should treat them the same way we'd treat Jesus, or Muhammad, or Buddha, or Krishna, or someone we think is great.

In everything we do, we should seek to benefit others instead of ourselves.

We Should All Be Servants

Should we be masters or servants? We should be servants and here's why:

1. Masters:
• This is associated with the quality of selfishness.
• Today, we're all immersed in personal selfishness, seeking to benefit ourselves with no regard for others. We want to be better than, greater than and more important than others.
• We want to use others for our own personal profit and gain, and we want them to serve us, which is a bad thing because it leads to inequality, isolation, loneliness and unhappiness.
2. Servants:
• This is associated with the quality of bestowal.
• We have to change from personal selfishness to mutual bestowal, and seek to benefit others instead of ourselves. If we adopt other people's desires as our own and seek to benefit them instead of ourselves, then we serve their desires, we serve them.
• If we serve each other, then we'll connect in mutual bestowal, which is a good thing because it leads to connection, unity, equality and happiness.
• Jesus explained this when he said, "... the greatest among you should be like the youngest, and the one who rules like the one who serves ... I am among you as one who serves." (Luke 22:26-27, NIV)
• Jesus demonstrated his servitude when he washed his disciples feet. (John 13:1-17, NIV)

We're different and we have different roles to play, but we're all equal and we're all one family. In everything we do, we should seek to benefit others instead of ourselves. We should serve each other.

A Little Child Will Lead Them

If Jesus didn't start his ministry until he was about 30 years old, who is the little child that will lead them spoken of in Isaiah?

There's a difference between The First Jesus, The Second Jesus and The One:

1. The First Jesus:
• "Jesus himself was about thirty years old when he began his ministry." (Luke 3:23, NIV)
2. The Second Jesus:
• When Jesus was 12 years old, his parents found him in the temple courts listening to the teachers and asking them questions. (Luke 2:41-52, NIV)
• "Jesus grew in wisdom", meaning he wasn't born with Godly knowledge, he learned it over time.
• "... you spoke to the people in the cradle and in maturity ..." (Quran 5:110, Sahih)
• The Second Jesus is a part of The One, as it is written, "... you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Mighty One ... (Matthew 26:64, NIV)
3. The One:
• "... a little child will lead them." (Isaiah 11:6, NIV)

In everything we do, we should seek to benefit others instead of ourselves.

Broken Bones - The First And Second Jesus

When it comes to broken bones, there's a difference between what happens to The First and Second Jesus:

1. The First Jesus Doesn't Break Any Bones:
• "...he protects all his bones, not one of them will be broken." (Psalm 34:20, NIV)
• "... but when they came to Jesus and found that he was already dead, they did not break his legs." (John 19:33, NIV)
2. The Second Jesus Breaks Bones:
• Broken Bones:
• "... he broke all my bones ..." (Isaiah 38:13, NIV)
• "... and has broken my bones." (Lamentations 3:4, NIV)
• "... let the bones you have crushed rejoice." (Psalm 51:8, NIV)
• Dislocated Joints:
• "... all my bones are out of joint." (Psalm 22:14, NIV)
• Broken Teeth:
• "... he has broken my teeth with gravel ..." (Lamentations 3:16, NIV)
• Disfigured Face:
• "... his appearance was so disfigured beyond that of any human being and his form marred beyond human likeness ..." (Isaiah 52:14, NIV)

Do not be afraid. God is with us.

What Does Jesus Mean By "This Generation"?

When Jesus was talking about the sign of the end times, he said, "Truly I tell you, this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened." (Matthew 24, NIV)

What does he mean by this generation? He means the quality of selfishness, meaning the quality of selfishness will not disappear until all these things have happened.

This generation and this world are connected with the quality of selfishness (when we seek to benefit ourselves with no regard for others). By contrast, the next generation and next world are connected with the quality of bestowal (when we seek to benefit others instead of ourselves).

Here are a few more examples:

• Jesus said, "You are of this world; I am not of this world." (John 8:23, NIV) Meaning, "You are of the quality of selfishness, I am not of the quality of selfishness, I'm of the quality of bestowal."
• Jesus said, "Anyone who loves their life with lose it, while anyone who hates their life in this world will keep it for eternal life." (John 12:25, NIV) Meaning, "...anyone who hates the quality of selfishness will enter into the quality of bestowal for eternity."
• Jesus said, "Now is the time for judgment on this world; now the prince of this world will be driven out." (John 12:31, NIV) Meaning, "Now is the time for judgement on the quality of selfishness, the quality of selfishness will be driven out and replaced with the quality of bestowal."
• Jesus said, "My kingdom is not of this world. (John 18:36, NIV) Meaning, "My kingdom is not of the quality of selfishness, it's of the quality of bestowal."

In everything we do, we should seek to benefit others instead of ourselves.

The Mental Health Of Jesus, Muhammad And Others

Mental health should be taken and treated seriously. If you're hurting in any way shape or form, reach out to your family, friends, doctor, psychiatrist, psychologist, faith leader and/or local community support groups. There are many people who can help. If you know someone who's hurting, reach out to them. We're all in this together.

I'd like to make a few notes without disrespecting people who are suffering from mental health, and without suggesting that people have free license to do whatever they want - not at all. In everything we do, we should seek to benefit others instead of ourselves.

Here are my notes:

1. Noah And The Ark:
• God told Noah to build an ark, which he did. (Genesis 6:9-22, NIV)
• Today, he'd be taken to see a psychiatrist who may think he was psychotic.
2. Abraham And Isaac:
• God told Abraham to sacrifice his son Isaac, which he was going to do, but at the last minute he found a ram instead. (Genesis 22:1-19, NIV)
• Today, he'd be arrested for child abuse and endangerment.
• A psychiatrist may find him delusional and psychotic, with an intention to harm others.
3. Isaiah:
• God told Isaiah to walk around naked for 3 years (Isaiah 20, NIV)
• Today, he'd be arrested for public indecency.
• A psychiatrist may find him delusional and psychotic, with a reckless attitude about his safety and well-being.
4. Jesus:
• They accused Jesus of being demon possessed. (Matthew 12:24, NIV)
• Jesus also said things that upset the local authorities, the Pharisees. They eventually had him arrested and killed. (Matthew 12:14, NIV)
• Today, Jesus would say things that would upset people with power, authority and money. They would likely plot to discredit him in any way, and would potentially seek to have him killed.
• A psychiatrist may find Jesus delusional, psychotic, with multiple personality disorder, illusions of grandeur, and an intention to put himself in harm's way.
5. Muhammad:
• They accused Muhammad of being mad (Quran 15:6, Sahih)
• Today, a psychiatrist may find him psychotic.
6. My Experiences:
• I started to get sick in 2008 and by 2009 I was so sick I had to move home. I went through every test imaginable: blood work, echo cardiogram, cat scan etc. While I present symptoms (chronic pain and chronic fatigue), medically, there's nothing wrong with me.
• In 2011, as part of the medical investigation, I was sent to see a psychiatrist. Mentally/psychologically, there's nothing with me, though he did give me medication to help me sleep and to help with the pain. I'm not a pill person and I couldn't wait to get off the medication.
• In 2013, after I'd moved out of my mother's home, and with the weight of all creations on my shoulders, I had difficulty coping with everyday tasks, such as doing chores, grocery shopping, laundry, managing bills etc. I was sent to see a counsellor who calmed me down and helped me cope, which was very helpful.
• In Sept 2014, I saw a psychiatrist at the request of 'the powers that be' on account of the Judgements section of this blog, which are perceived to be a threat.

The point I'm trying to make is that God's thoughts are not our thoughts and that God's ways are not our ways. (Isaiah 55:8-9, NIV)

Today, we're so far removed from God, and so reliant on science, that we wouldn't recognize something that came from God. It would seem foreign and out of place in our world today.

It is finished. Change is upon us. We have to change from personal selfishness to mutual bestowal. In everything we do, we should seek to benefit others instead of ourselves.

We're all in this together and God uses us to help each other. If you need help, don't be afraid to ask for it or seek it out. There are many people who can help.

First Take The Plank Out Of Your Own Eye

It's easy for us to be critical of others because we're immersed in selfishness. We want to be right, we want to be on top, we want to win, we want to be better than others, and we want to be perfect while pointing out the flaws in others.

Of this Jesus said, "1 Do not judge, or you too will be judged. 2 For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. 3 Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? 4 How can you say to your brother, 'Let me take the speck out of your eye,' when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? 5 You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye."
(Matthew 7:1-5, NIV)

In everything we do, we should seek to benefit others instead of ourselves.

Stop Trying To Be Righteous And Just Love

Jesus loved social outcasts. So much so, that people wondered about him: A son of God? Hanging out with lowly destitutes? It doesn't make any sense.

If Jesus were alive today, who do you think he'd be hanging out with? Probably the very people we ostracize and condemn.

Stop trying to be righteous and just love. In everything we do, we should seek to benefit others instead of ourselves.

Complying With The Golden Rule

Edited Aug 31, 2014

Jesus said, "... do to others what you would have them do to you ..." (Matthew 7:12, NIV) This is known as The Golden Rule [1].

How can we comply with The Golden Rule if we're all different, if we all have different tastes, likes and dislikes? The answer is that it depends on whether we focus The Golden Rule on ourselves or on others.

If we focus The Golden Rule on ourselves, then one person gains and the other person loses. However, if we focus The Golden Rule on others, understanding it to mean seek to benefit others as you would have them seek to benefit you, then we'd connect in mutual bestowal and everybody would gain.

Here's an example: If I like sour things and not sweet things, and if you like sweet things and not sour things, then what should I give you?

1. If I Make The Golden Rule About Benefiting Myself:
• And I Give You Something Sweet:
• Then you'd like it because you like sweet things.
• However, I like sour things, I wouldn't want you to give me something sweet. I wouldn't be complying with The Golden Rule because I'd be doing to you what I wouldn't have you do to me. I'd be giving you something sweet when I'd want you to give me something sour. But you'd be happy.
• If I Give You Something Sour:
• Then you wouldn't like it because you don't like sour things.
• However, I like sour things and I'd want you to give me something sour. I'd be complying with The Golden Rule because I'd be doing to you what I'd have you do to me. I'd be giving you something sour when I'd want you to give me something sour. But you wouldn't be happy.
2. If I Make The Golden Rule About Benefiting Others:
• And I Give You Something Sweet: 
• Then I'd be seeking to benefit you. I'd be giving you something sweet knowing that you like sweet things. I'd be complying with The Golden Rule because I'd be doing to you what I'd have you do to me. I'd want you to seek to benefit me by giving me something sour knowing that I like sour things. In this way, we'd both be complying with The Golden Rule.
• If I Give You Something Sour:
• I wouldn't be seeking to benefit you. I wouldn't be complying with The Golden Rule. To that end, I wouldn't give you something sour.

In everything we do, we should seek to benefit others instead of ourselves. If we did this, we'd always comply with The Golden Rule.

There's No Such Thing As A Miracle

There's no such thing as a miracle, there's simply the laws of Nature. Whether or not something's a miracle, depends on one's perspective. Here are a few scenarios:

1. If you met a person who lived on a remote island, and you showed them a cell phone - the ability to teletalk, talk to somebody at a distance - they'd think it was a miracle. To us, it's technology.
2. If an alien from another world came and started doing some strange things, we'd think it was a miracle. To them, it would be 'technology'.
3. Jesus performed many miracles [1]. To us, they're miracles. To Jesus, they're simply the laws of Nature defined by his relationship with God, specifically the law of equivalence of form with The Creator.

There's no such thing as a miracle. There's simply the laws of Nature.

Stealing As A Good Thing

Edited Aug 17, 2014.

There's the language Jesus used to describe himself as a thief, then there's my story:

Jesus Will Come Like A Thief:

" ... I will come like a thief ..." (Revelations 3:3, NIV)

This means stealing from the quality of selfishness (for oneself) in order to be in the quality of bestowal (for others), which is a good thing.

Once you're in the quality of bestowal, "You shall not steal" (Deuteronomy 5:19, NIV), meaning don't steal from the quality of bestowal and fall back into selfishness.

Here's My Story:

When I was in high school I took about three bracelets without paying for them.

This doesn't mean that people have free license to do whatever they want. Not at all. In everything we do, we should seek to benefit others instead of ourselves.

In The Company Of Animals

People who have pets or work closely with animals know that animals can be very loving and caring. Many animals, such as dogs, cats, horses, elephants etc., are empathic, they sense emotions in others. We've lost this ability and we need to find it again.

We need to begin to sense and 'feel' each other. We need to connect with each other in mutual bestowal and seek to benefit others instead of ourselves.

Even Jesus spent time with animals, as it is written, "He was with the wild animals, and angels attended him." (Mark 1:12-13, NIV)

Don't Ask Me Who I Am

Updated Nov 10, 2015

Don't ask me who I am because even if I told you, you wouldn't believe me.

Scripture states that, "A matter must be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses." (Deuteronomy 19:15, NIV) If I tell you who I am, how would I comply with this requirement? Jesus was asked the same thing.

God Himself and I are two witnesses, but because you can't see this relationship, you'll be given four witness to tell you who I am: God will send someone to tell you who I am, my works tell you who I am, Scripture tells you who I am, and the world and the history of the world tells you who I am.

Here's an explanation:

1. God Himself and I Are Two Witnesses:
• There are two of us, me and God Himself. So when I speak or write, there are two witnesses - me and God Himself.
• Of this, Jesus said, "... if I testify on my own behalf, my testimony is valid ... I am not alone. I stand with the Father, who sent me. In your own Law it is written that the testimony of two witnesses is true. I am one who testifies for myself; my other witness is the Father, who sent me." (John 8:14-18, NIV)
• Jesus seems to contradict himself because he also says, "If I testify about myself, my testimony is not true." (John 5:31, NIV) Meaning, if he testifies about himself without being connected to God, his testimony is not true. So, if I testify about myself, without being connected to God Himself, my testimony is not true. There always has to be two of us, me and God Himself.
• The problem is that you can't see the relationship that I have with God. You can only see me. So, even though my testimony is valid, you wouldn't believe me. Therefore, in order to comply with the two witness requirement, you'll be given four witnesses to tell you who I am:
2. Four Witnesses:
• First, God Himself will testify about me by sending someone to tell you who I am.
• The person God sends won't speak of his own accord, he will say only what God tells him to say. God Himself will speak through him. As such, God Himself will testify to you about who I am. This hasn't happened yet, but it will.
• Of this, Jesus said, "... the Father who sent me has himself testified concerning me ..." through "... the one he sent." (John 5:37, NIV) Jesus was talking about John the Baptist, whom God sent to tell the people who Jesus was.
• Remember, I am both the quality of reception (the wolf) and the quality of bestowal (the lamb), as it is written, "The wolf will live with the lamb ..." (Isaiah 11:6, NIV) The person God sends to tell you who I am will reveal this in what he says.
• Second, my works testify about me:
• My works are a direct reflection of who I am. Instead of telling you who I am, look at my works because they tell you who I am.
• Of this, Jesus said, "For the works that the Father has given me to finish - the very works that I am doing - testify that The Father has sent me." (John 5:36, NIV)
• God Himself and I both testify: God Himself testifies through someone else and I testify through my works.
• Third, Scripture testifies about me:
• My life and the events of my life are reflected in Scripture.
• Of this, Jesus said, "These are the very Scriptures that testify about me ..." (John 5:39, NIV)
• Fourth, the entire world and the history of the world testifies about me:
• Due to "The Mirror Effect", the entire world and the history of the world are a reflection of who I am. What's on the outside is a reflection of who I am on the inside. So if you want to know who I am, look at the world and the history of the world.

Here's a list of some of the signs that tell you who I am. They've been published under a separate post on this blog titled, "Signs That Tell You Who I am".

So don't ask me who I am because even if I told you, you wouldn't believe me. You'll be given four witnesses to tell you who I am: God Himself will send someone to tell you who I am, my works tell you who I am, Scripture tells you who I am, and the entire world and the history of the world tells you who I am.

3. "... a man of suffering and familiar with pain." (Isaiah 53:3, NIV)
4. Lay worn out and exhausted (Daniel 8:27, NIV)
5. Bad breath (Job 19:17, NIV) Someone once told me my breath was bad enough to gag a maggot. I also have bad body odour.
6. A thorn in the flesh (2 Corinthians 12:1-10, NIV)
7. No angels can be seen with me (Quran 6:8, Sahih) (Just because you can't see any angels with me doesn't mean there are no angels with me.)
8. Not rich, no treasure (Quran 11:12, Sahih)
9. No sign (Quran 6:37, Sahih)
10. Revelations are gradual, not all at once (Quran 25:32, Sahih)
11. I'm not a great man from one of the two cities (Quran 43:31, Sahih)
12. Did not know the Book or the faith (Quran 42:52, Sahih) (I read the Quran for the first time in 2012)
13. There are other things as well.

The First Jesus And The Second Jesus

When Jesus was 12 years old, his parents found him in the temple courts listening to the teachers and asking them questions (Luke 2:41-52, NIV), which means he was learning, he wasn't born with Godly knowledge. In verse 52 it says that 'Jesus grew in wisdom', meaning he wasn't born with Godly wisdom, he learned it over time. This applies to both The First Jesus and The Second Jesus.

We also know that Jesus was about 30 years old when he began his ministry. (Luke 3:23, NIV). This applies to both The First Jesus and The Second Jesus.

Isaiah says that "a little child will lead them" (Isaiah 11:6, NIV), which applies to The One, who The Second Jesus is a part of. The Quran says that Jesus spoke to 'people in the cradle and in maturity'. (Quran 5:110, Sahih) This applies only to The Second Jesus.

All Of Creation Is Telling A Story

All of creation is interconnected and contributes to the telling of an arc-story and it's sub-stories. Here are examples from all of nature:

1. The Still Level: A star signaled the birth of Jesus. (Matthew 2:1-2, NIV)
2. The Vegetative Level: Jesus pointed out that a fig tree with tender shoots and new leaves signals that summer is near. (Matthew 24:32, NIV)
3. The Animate Level: Jesus told Peter that a rooster would crow, which would signal that he had disowned Jesus. (Matthew 26:34, NIV)

Jesus explained in great detail the sign of the end times, which includes wars, famine, earthquakes, false messiahs and false prophets who perform great signs and wonders etc. (Matthew 24:1-35, NIV)

There are some people who can 'read' the signs in nature, and some can even predict events and outcomes based on their ability to interpret these signs. Some people are very sensitive to changes in their environment and they can understand what those changes mean.

We all need to get to a point where we understand that all of Nature is interconnected and interdependent and that all of nature contributes to the telling of an arc-story and it's sub-stories.

Why Did Jesus Withdraw To Lonely Places?

"But Jesus often withdrew to lonely places and prayed." (Luke 5:16, NIV)  
The reason Jesus withdrew to lonely places is because:

1. He was seeking an uninterrupted connection with God, where He could focus on his internality, instead of being distracted by the externality of this world.
2. He needed a break from the games and plays that take place in this world.
3. He needed a break from being micromanaged by those who orchestrate the games and plays of this world.
4. There may be other reasons as well.
