Happy Easter, everyone! 💓
Amidst this most auspicious celebration of Jesus’s triumph over Death, I would like to share with you a theory.
The theory is this:
Jesus Christ wasn’t inviting people to join him in Heaven after dying.
He was actually teaching people how to achieve immortality — so that they never die in the first place.
Before we get into why I think this, let’s get on the same page about Immortality.
I introduced the topic of Immortality in my post Questioning Death.
In that post, I asserted that to become Immortal, one must first conceive of the possibility of Immortality. This entails relinquishing one’s resistance to Life (which manifests as the impulse to call Immortality evil, stupid, wrong, elitist, etc.)
Life is our default setting.
Since writing that post, I’ve dived more deeply on the topic — not only through personal practices, but also by reading materials written by people who have awakened the Immortal current within themselves, and/or lived in the presence of Immortals.
And I notice that all Immortalists say these key things:
The body must be treated as a temple of the Holy Spirit — with the utmost reverence and respect! God dwells in your body, so act like it!
Parasites and Rot must be removed from the Temple that is your body. This can be done through fasting and enemas (and if you’re really in your power, by mere authoritative command). Parasite Consciousness is the blueprint of Death, and thus, is incompatible with Life.
We do not “need” food, we do not “need” water, we do not “need” to sleep. This is because Humans are bioelectric divine Sovereign beings — and as such, we can self-sustain Life and regenerate indefinitely, like the Sun.
“Ineedto take life from others to sustain my own life”is a parasitic belief (hence the removal of parasites being necessary to Immortality)Once the “need” for “outside” sources of Life is removed, the Immortal is able to generate Lifeforce from within the body.
This self-generated spiritual sustenance has been called Amrita (the nectar of Immortality), Ambrosia (food of the Gods), Manna (bread from Heaven), and other things across spiritual traditions. It’s sometimes described as a sweet liquid that descends from the higher chakras down into the mouth, satisfying all hunger and thirst.
The proclamations of Immortalists are identical across cultures and creeds.
This is bigger than religion.
This is Truth.
So!
Christians, right?
They generally believe that, as a reward for believing Jesus Christ is their Savior, they’ll be allowed into Heaven in the “afterlife.”
Here lies our first challenge:
When did Jesus say that his believers will get to live forever after dying?
…
He didn’t.
In fact, He said the opposite:
John 10:27-28 KJV
27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:
28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.
“Never perish” means “never die,” my dude. 👀
He repeats this sentiment again in a later verse:
John 11:25-26 KJV
Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: and whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?
The use of the word “believe” is interesting, because it challenges the widely-accepted notion that “believing in Jesus” means believing he’s the Savior.
What if “believing in Jesus” just meant “believing in what he’s saying about never-dying?”
Not many people believe that everlasting Life (without dying) is even possible.
Hence,
Matthew 7:13-14 NIV
Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to Life, and there are few who find it.
Now let’s take a look at this hint that Jesus may have been eating Amrita/Manna/self-generated spiritual food:
John 4 31-32 NIV
Meanwhile his disciples urged him, “Rabbi, eat something.”
But he said to them, “I have food to eat that you know nothing about.”
The disciples went onto speculate about whether he’d eaten previously, suggesting that they couldn’t see the food Jesus was talking about.
Invisible food, eh?
Sounds like Amrita to me!
He also says:
Matthew 4:1-11
At that time Jesus was led by the Spirit into the desert to be tempted by the devil. He fasted for forty days and forty nights and afterwards was hungry.
The tempter approached and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, command that these stones become loaves of bread.”
He said in reply, “It is written: One does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes forth from the mouth of God.”
An Immortalist would say that God’s power satisifes better than earthly food does.
So that tracks.
And let’s not forget Jesus’s repeated promise to nourish his believers with metaphysical food:
John 6:3-5
Jesus said unto them, “I am the bread of Life: he that cometh to me shall not hunger, and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.”
John 6:27
“Do not work for food that spoils, but for food that endures to eternal Life, which the Son of Man will give you. For on him God the Father has placed his seal of approval.”

There’s also the matter of The Essene Gospel of Peace.
If you’re not familiar with the “Jesus was an Essene monk” theory, I highly recommend this Bill Donahue lecture:
^ Bill makes his compelling case that Jesus was an Essene using Biblical evidence.
This paves the way for the extra-Biblical part of my “Jesus was an Immortalist” theory:
Knowing that the Bible was edited and translated multiple times, it's within the realm of possibility that key aspects of Jesus's teachings got “lost” along the way.
Enter the Essene Gospel of Peace.
https://essene.com/GospelOfPeace/
A controversial book, to say the least. It was allegedly discovered in the highly secretive Vatican library.
The reason I consider it legitimate, is because its contents align with the tenets of Immortalism outlined above. Where there's consistency, there's something worth investigating.
For example, in this lost gospel, Jesus explains that the cause of many ailments — indeed, of death itself — is the existence of rot and parasites in the bowels.
He then provides instructions for how to perform a water enema in combination with fasting. This, he says, casts out parasites and allows the body to regenerate and heal from all pain and disease.
Which is exactly what Immortalists say.
I'll wrap up there, because just a re-minder: I don't claim to know the absolute Truth of who Jesus was. I merely wish to introduce a new way of looking at his message.
To anyone who might be thinking that I'm being blasphemous, consider the fact that I'm literally just quoting Jesus. Not adding or subtracting from his words.
A lot of what passes as “Jesus's teachings” in the Church, are distortions and hearsay that result from not actually reading his literal words.
Thus, Christians who believe that everlasting life is experienced in some afterlife-Heaven clearly missed the part where Jesus said Heaven is among us.
Here and now.
Good point that eternal life begins now, and we are already in it. When we leave this world and leave our body we don't "die". Our conscious being - our soul or spirit, astral body or etheric body - whatever you call the conscious being who is "me" - lives on. We remain conscious during the transition. If you have a "near death experience" where you leave your body and go close to or into the Light, then leave that place and return into your body here on Earth, you are "reborn in spirit". You now know that you are essentially a conscious spiritual being, with or without a physical body. That knowing changes everything.
I wanted to comment on this observation you made, "What if “believing in Jesus” just meant “believing in what he’s saying about never-dying?”
Without getting into the all the details, I'll say Jesus didn't want anybody to worship his person. He wanted people to believe what he said, because he was telling the Truth, and he knew ("gnosis") he was telling the truth. He promised after he left he would send "the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of Truth, who will guide you into all truth." Jesus wanted people to believe the truth, to know it, to be transformed by it. You wrote how faith is a function. Faith is what transforms believing into knowing, and to living accordingly. It "is" true. You can't prove that. But you can know it. And as you explain about psychic and other spiritual abilities, you can't do it unless you already believe/know you can do it.
Jesus didn't come to start a new Church. From what he told the Samaritan woman at the well it is clear he believed he was ushering in the New Covenant promised (about 600 years earlier) at Jeremiah 31:31-34 where God says we will no longer need a priesthood telling us what God says because God "will put his law in their minds and write it on their hearts. Each of them will know me, from the least of them to the greatest."
As Jesus said, God's law - the Kingdom of Heaven - will be "within and among you." God lives in our heart and mind, not on a mountain (as the Samaritans believed) or in the Temple in Jerusalem (as mainstream Hebrews believed). "God wants worshippers who worship in spirit and in truth," not people who puff air out of their mouths claiming to be "Christian" while thinking, feeling and behaving according to the ways of this spirit-denying material world.
Nietzsche - a theologian who was intimately familiar with the Bible - knew this. In his little Madman story the madman rushes into the marketplace and exclaims, "God is dead! We have killed him, you and I!" Because 'Godless Europeans" had made no place for God to live in their hearts and minds, they had 'killed God" - at least they had killed God's power in their own materialist anti-spiritual lives.
We "Be" Christians, in our heart, mind and life. We be lovers and seekers of Truth. We let ourselves be guided by Love and Light, the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of Truth. We know we are spiritual beings, and we make material sacrifices when required to serve the spiritual values of truth and love.
As you said in your talk with Mickey Z, whatever truth you follow to its end, you find God. Truth is the "narrow gate" that leads into all Truth. All kinds of externally enacted deceptions and self-induced delusions are the wide way that leads nowhere. We become spirits of truth, spirits of light, the kind of beings who enjoy eternal life discovering evermore of the magnificent Truth of this awesome Creation and eventually - when we are wise enough in the ways of Love and Truth - we can participate in creating it.
Jesus was teaching us how to "become" a spirit of light, how to "be" a lover of truth guided by love. Jesus didn't want us to worship him for already being that. He was teaching us how to accept the free gift of eternal life that is available to anybody who truly wants it with their heart, mind and life.
In spirit there is only one currency of payment: our life, our being. To know some truths, you have to be willing to pay with your life, let go, let yourself be taken without reservation or clinging to this world. We ask, seek, knock with our life, or we don't do it at all. There is no cheating, faking it, deception in spirit. There is what you are, what you have made of your self. When we 'die' and our soul/spirit/conscious being leaves our body, there is only the clear light of truth and we cannot not know exactly what we are and what we are not.
I don't mean to sound preachy or Biblical (and sorry for being long-winded), but many years ago when I looked for answers I found Jesus explaining so many of the profound spiritual experiences I had in my younger life, and clearly your understanding of your own experiences also finds deep resonance in the truths taught by Jesus. Truth is not where you look, or where you want to look, or where you want it to be. It is where you find it.
I love the work you do, by the way. You are a delightful light shining on the ascending path of Truth and Love and Life.
This is just my opinion your soul and spirit is immortal. Your higher self resides in the 12th dimension, an immortal energy being.
Miracles do happen, particularly if you've connection to the Devine Feminine and Masculine, which leads to connection of your higher self.
Channeling can help with healing, using the Devine Feminine and Masculine can heal, also regenerate. If you know how... That is the food of the Gods.
You know in the original Bible there was a wheel of reincarnation which was taken out of it in 3rd century, by Emperor Augustine I think?
