Thou art That
One of the core doctrines of Christianity is the redemption of sin via the shedding of the divine blood of Jesus through his Crucifixion and Death:
'Take this, all of you, and drink from it: for this is the chalice of my blood, the blood of the new and eternal covenant.which will be poured out for you and for many for the forgiveness of sins.'
If faith is required anywhere in the teachings, it is here, since no one knows exactly how this is accomplished. One must only have unquestioning faith that it does.
Therefore, a scapegoat was required as the host upon whose back both sin and guilt were transferred and carried, this being reflected in the Jewish image of the scape-goat that is sent into the wilderness to perish. (Leviticus), the prefigurement of Jesus as scapegoat 'bearing the sins of the world', and as the sacrificial 'Lamb of God'.
Many of the ancients believed that the blood carried the life-force. If a warrior was slain on the battlefield, it was practice to drink his blood while still warm as a means of acquiring his warrior powers.
The Jewish practice of sin redemption via animal sacrifice seems to be the forerunner of the Christian belief.
In Mithraism, the bull is slaughtered and its flesh and blood were literally eaten and drunk as Eucharist.
In the East, however, it was the breath that was considered the life-force, a vital pathway to achieving Enlightenment. This was not based on belief, but on direct practice and the experience of spiritual transformation. This, too, was the practice of Yeshu the Essene, before his teachings were corrupted and/or destroyed by Rome, overwritten with those of St. Paul's 'Jesus', whose myth is the same as that of Mithra.
Therefore, the retention of the doctrine of sin redemption via blood sacrifice within Christianity is a pagan ritual, based purely on superstition, having no basis in fact or via direct experience, as in meditation and spiritual transformation of consciousness. It's efficacy is purely a product of the belief that it is so, with virtually no understanding as to how it is achieved. In this sense, we are talking about something called 'white magic', culminating in the ritual of the Mass, wherein wine and bread are believed to be literally transformed into the flesh and blood of Jesus Christ (ie; 'transubstantiation'). The process of sin redemption is two-fold: contrition, repentance and confession, and then the partaking of the Eucharist as a means of entering into the state of grace.
Yeshu's original teachings did not include blood sacrifice. In fact, Yeshu would have been a vegetarian as a practitioner in the Nazarene Essene community. Removing the layers of overwritten Roman doctrines is akin to removing the layers painted over Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel frescoes to reveal their true beauty hidden underneath.
It should be noted that, according to Essene teachings, which are said to be three-tiered, the first tier is for the initiates, while the second and third are of the inner Mysteries, of which the initiates would not have understood. It was the members of this first tier of initiates who broke with the Essenes and became the first Christians, their focus being primarily evangelistic, rather than mystical in nature. Therefore, doctrine and belief become the primary focus amongst orthodox Christians, rather than direct access to, and experience of the inner living source within, sometimes referred to as Gnosis, Namaste, the Kingdom of God, Big Mind, etc.
