The Non Dual Jesus
We who call ourselves Christians are supposed to be modeling the one who went by the name JESUS and who became the CHRIST. And it is within those two names that we become immediately confused, thinking those are His first and last names when in reality they speak of His two natures. He was not the son of Joseph & Mary Christ!
The church hs some interesting concepts of SALVATION. I need not go there, but write the following.
Some of the Nicean Creed got it right. Jesus, the Christ was fully human and fully divine. But, let us go on with the paradigm. Jesus was also the archetype of what fully human and fully divine means. He was the umbilical cord holding together heaven and earth. He had a male body with a female soul. He was the Son of God and the Son of Adam. He was the fullness of consciousness.
And hello! So too be we Brutus! :-)
I and you are sons and daughters of both God and earth, of divinity and of flesh, and of spirit and of material. The church has tried to have us kill the flesh, kill the earthiness, the humanity that we are. Why would want want to kill that which God gave us? What we need to do is to bring them together as one. I like the way Richard Rohr put it.......
"Our goal ought to be a spirituality connected to this world in every aspect, seeing he divine light through the mundane, the physical, the material, the entire cosmos- and not only in the churchy, the correct and the pure, which keeps the world split and contentious. Jesus is the icon of what salvation means. When the two can happily coexist within us, one might say that we are SAVED."
I know that will turn some heads and put a bad taste in the mouth of some, which is why we stay forever addicted to our dualistic paradigms: God hating Esau, so we are free to hate also. God killing and so we can. And we never ever get well- healed. If we're going to call ourselves Christians and follows of Jesus, maybe we should model our lives like Him as well.
Jesus (fully human), the Christ-os (fully divine).
Whatcha think? Too radical? Did you not know that Jesus was a RADICAL, and subversive teacher, a reformer, and a pain in the butt for the church? Tell me you knew that! Come on, be honest. You knew that, right!
Then tell yourself that you're going to FOLLOW HIM, by being non-dualistic!
