Da man, when I walk thru!
I brought this thread here because I dont wan't the typical Christian answers my question.
I've always found this interesting that Jesus was labeled the morning star and the light, while lucifer literally means the light bringer, and has been defined as the morning star. Even when I was young and still caught up in Christian Dogma I found this interesting.
My theory is that Jesus was the total opposite of how he is portrayed in modern Christianity. As I read in the black flame thread in this DIR, many ancient terms used varous phrasings of Satan/evil/devil etc etc simply to denote beliefs that were in opposition to their own. Wouldn't this correspond perfectly to the view of Jesus beliefs in all aspects of the early Roman empire?
I don't contend that Jesus was a strict adherent of the westernized philosophy of the LHP as I don't think he focused soley on self gratification, but I do also he delved in practices that modern Christianity would consider "abominations" such as drinking alchoholic beverages, smoking marijuana, and using other mind altering substances. I think thats part of what made him so popular was after he gave a sermon there would be a huge party lol.
I also believe he practiced LHP techniques such as tantra (I mean come on, Mary Magdelene was probably a prostitute lol), Taoist Alchemy, and various other "black magic" practices (raising lazerus from the dead = necromancy in my opinion).
The interesting thing I believe about Jesus, was that he used all of these LHP practices to promote more RHP beliefs although in a unique way. He opposed authority to promote better treatment of the lower classes, taught equality of all peoples regardless of race or religion, promoted self realization and self empowerment to overthrow the oppressive authority, and not simply to show off ones power over others. It needed to be directed towards those that oppressed the common people.
Basically, I believe Jesus used the left hand to give power to himself, and then used the right hand to give that power to the people. Although I still believe he kept a lot of power for himself, as I don't think he was an adherent to the selfless sacrifice ideal that has been attributed to him by modern Christianity.
I believe Jesus was a true balance of the of the left and right hands, as the left hand takes and the right hand gives. In this light would have been persecuted by both the Jewish and Roman authorities as he would have been giving power to the people.
It is also my belief that Roman authorities adopted Christianity because of it's popularity, morphed it into a religion that suited their needs, and that is what we see now.
What do ya'll think?
