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.

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.

The following diagram refers to various states. Click on the image to make it larger:

There are other things about me that are referenced in The Bible and The Quran:

1. "In my distress I groan aloud ..." (Psalm 102:5, NIV)

A Hero Always Faces A Nemesis

Updated June 16, 2015

A hero always faces a nemesis/villain:

• Adam and Eve faced the serpent
• Moses faced Pharaoh
• King David faced Goliath
• Muhammad faced the leaders of the Quraysh
• The First Jesus faced the Pharisees and the Sadducees
• The Second Jesus will face the anti-christ
• The One will face the anti-one

Keep in mind that all of these people are states/qualities within us:

• The nemesis/villain - is our growing ego, selfishness.
• The hero - is a desire that wants to overcome the ego (nemesis/villain), to change from selfishness to bestowal - from seeking to benefit oneself to seeking to benefit others and Nature, to change from personal selfishness to mutual bestowal.

The ego (nemesis/villain) serves a purpose in that by overcoming that state, one draws closer to The Creator.

Do not be afraid. God is with us.

The First Jesus, The Second Jesus And The One

Edited:  April 8, 2014

WORK IN PROGRESS:
This post is a work in progress and is subject to changes, revisions, edits and deletions. I've presented it here to give you an idea of a general concept; however, I'm not sure I've done a very good job explaining it. Please bear with me as I continue to work through this. One example is that I don't know how the Book Of Revelation is interconnected.

The First Jesus is exactly the same as The Second Jesus, yet they are different. The First Jesus is Jesus Himself, whereas The Second Jesus is a part of The One.

Through fractals [1] we can understand the connection between The Old Testament, The First Jesus, The Second Jesus, The New Testament, The Quran and The One:

• "I am the Alpha and the Omega ... who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty." (Revelation 1:8, NIV)
• "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. (Hebrews 13:8, NIV)
• We can also understand the reference to Adam:
• "Indeed, the example of Jesus to Allah is like that of Adam. (Quran 3:59, Sahih)
• ""The first man Adam became a living being"; the last Adam, a life-giving spirit." (1 Corinthians 15:45, NIV)

Let's take a look at the differences and similarities between The First Jesus and The Second Jesus:

1. FROM WHERE:
• The First Jesus: Is from Israel.
• The Second Jesus: Is from the Nations of The World.
2. FOR WHO:
• The First Jesus: Is for The Nation of Israel. Jesus said, "I was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel." (Matthew 15:24, NIV)
• The Second Jesus: The Second Jesus is also for Israel, but is a part of The One, who is for the entire world. ""... they will all know me, from the least of them to the greatest," declares the LORD."(Jeremiah 31:34, NIV)
3. GENDER:
• The First Jesus: The person is male.
• The Second Jesus: The person is female because The Second Jesus is a part of The One who is female.
4. SCRIPTURE:
• The First Jesus: The Gospel writes about The First Jesus. 
• The Second Jesus: The Quran writes about The Second Jesus.
5. FRACTAL[1]:
• The First Jesus: The First Jesus is a fractal of The Old Testament. "In the beginning was The Word ..." (John 1:1, NIV) "The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us." (John 1:14, NIV) Jesus said, "Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. (Matthew 5:17, NIV)
• The Second Jesus: The Second Jesus is a fractal of The Old Testament. "O Mary, indeed Allah gives you good tidings of a word from Him, whose name will be the Messiah, Jesus, the son of Mary ..." (Quran 3:45, Sahih) "Jesus, the son of Mary, said, "O children of Israel, indeed I am the messenger of Allah to you confirming what came before me of the Torah and bringing good tidings of a messenger to come after me, whose name is Ahmad." (Quran 61:6, Sahih)
• The One: The One is a fractal of The Old Testament, The New Testament and The Quran.
6. TITLE:
• The First Jesus: Refers to himself as The Son of Man. "From now on you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Mighty One and coming on the clouds of heaven." (Matthew 26:64, NIV)
• The Second Jesus: The Second Jesus is a part of The One, a state within The One. As such, he refers to himself as a prophet. "Indeed, I am the servant of Allah. He has given me the Scripture and made me a prophet." (Quran 19:30, Sahih) The Quran makes no distinction between any of the prophets. (Quran 3:84, Sahih) Also, it is written, "The LORD used a prophet to bring Israel up from Egypt, by a prophet he cared for him." (Hosea 12:13, NIV)
• Initially, it seems like a contradiction that The Quran says that Jesus was a prophet while the Bible doesn't, but now we can understand this discrepancy.
7. CRUCIFIXTION:
• The First Jesus: Was crucified. (Matthew 27:32-44, NIV)
• The Second Jesus: Will not be crucified, but will probably have the stigmata to make it look like she was. "... they did not kill him, nor did they crucify him; but [another] was made to resemble him to them." (Quran 4:157, Sahih)
• Initially, it seems like a contradiction that The Bible says Jesus was crucified while The Quran says he wasn't, but now we can understand how both are true.
8. EAST AND WEST:
• The First Jesus: Of his return, Jesus said, "For as lightning that comes from the east is visible even in the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. (Matthew 24:27, NIV)
• The Second Jesus: Will likely make a journey from east to west. "And to Allah belongs the east and the west. So wherever you [might] turn, there is the Face of Allah." (Quran 2:115, Sahih)
9. DOES GOD HAVE A SON?
• The First Jesus: Is often referred to as the Son of God. "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. (John 3:16, NIV) This verse is layered in meaning. One meaning is that it is a state of attainment that is considered childhood, therefore God has a son. Also, based on perception of reality, you perceive that you're young in the quality of bestowal.
• The Second Jesus: The Quran says that "Allah has not taken any son ..." (Quran 23:91, Sahih) This verse is layered in meaning. One meaning is that The One is not a son because she's female. Also, while the Quran says that Jesus is the son of Mary, this is an internal state within The One. Even the adult state of attainment starts off as a little child and eventually grows to adulthood, " ... a little child will lead them." (Isaiah 11:6, NIV) Therefore God doesn't have a son or any children because these states of attainment have grown up, they're in complete adhesion with The Creator. Also, based on perception of reality, you perceive that you were always in bestowal.
• Initially, it seems like a contradiction that Jesus is often referred to as The Son of God while The Quran says that God doesn't have a son, but now we can understand how both are true.
10. TRINITY:
• The First Jesus: Jesus said, "Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit ..." (Matthew 28:19, NIV). This is a state of attainment where a person is still growing, developing.
• The Second Jesus: It is written, "And do not say, "Three"; desist - it is better for you. Indeed, Allah is but one God. Exalted is He above having a son." (Quran 4:171, Sahih) This is a state of attainment where a person is in complete adhesion with The Creator.
• Initially, it seems like a contradiction that The Bible speaks of three, while The Quran tells us not to speak of three, but now we can understand how both are true.

Here are some questions about the Torah, the Writings and the Prophets:

1. Is there language in the Torah, the Writings and the Prophets that speaks about both The First Jesus and The Second Jesus?
2. Is there language in the Torah, the Writings and the Prophets that speaks only about The First Jesus?
3. Is there language in the Torah, the Writings and the Prophets that speaks only about The Second Jesus?
4. Is there language in the Torah, the Writings and the Prophets that speaks about The One?
