What do you take to be true? And why do you take it to be true? On what basis have you decided that it is true?
If you look very closely you will find that almost everything that you take to be true in your life is not. And when you start to look at that question; what is true? What are my beliefs and how I got those beliefs? Only then will you begin to open up to how Life has been created for you, but not by you.
You, my dear friend are all very powerful Creators, who have been persuaded that you are not. And I am here to awaken you to the Truth of whom and what you really are. You are very powerful Creators and in order to re-awaken those abilities, you need to begin to pick apart the beliefs that you hold to be so true about yourself and Life and the World.
Most often people who hold closely to a set of beliefs have not done their homework. They've just taken what's been told to them and accepted it as being so. The Bible is a good example.
There are many people in the World who take the Bible as being absolute truth and most of these people have not investigated the history of these documents. I am not speaking only about the Bible, but about any of the religious texts that are used in the world today. They are taken as being the "Gospel Truth"; where as the hand of Humanity has been at work in every one of them.
None of them reflect their original origins, whatever those origins may be. Many take the Bible as being the "Word of God"; the truth of things. I can assure you that it is a long, long way from that.
Some are you are aware that the text that make up the New Testament were selected at Council of Nicacea in the Forth Century and there are many, many texts that didn't make it into what you call the Bible, yet were written by early Christians. In fact, the books that make up the New Testament or the primary elements of the New Testament were not written by those whose names they bear. They were written by individuals who came many years after, at least 100 years after and so those that wrote those texts were not the witnesses they claimed to be.
Many of the text that more closely reflected the experiences of those who were present are not included in the Bible. They were weeded out because they contained content that those who were fashioning the Bible for their own purposes did not wish to bring forth because they contained the mystical, the metaphysical, the truly powerfur aspects of what Jeshua was teaching, and even in that time frame the Church was about control over the people and wished to fashion themselves as being the door way to God, whereas in truth what Jeshua taught was the only Temple that you need is the Human body and such a notion was completely at odds with what the so-called Fathers of the Church wanted to come forth.
Many of the these texts are now readily available in the World, contained in such documents as the Gnostic Bible and other documents Though this material has come forth, most people that believe in the Bible have not considered examining what they might contain.
If you examine such fixed beliefs, you begin to realize that at their basis is great fear, fear that if this is not held to and be held to be the truth, the World will fall apart for that individual and perhaps for everyone. This inflexibility has fear at its base and so I suggest you contemplate this notion; and I mention this because you will see in these coming times the Truths that underlie much that has happened come forth and if you are holding fixedly to these uniformed beliefs then you will find this coming time very difficult.
I'm not saying that there is not great value in the Bible. There is great value and it has provided great value to many. But it is not the "Word of God" as many world take it to be. It is far from it, very far from it.
I encourage you to begin to examine your beliefs, not just your beliefs about the Bible, but your beliefs in general.
