Homeless Yeshua - manniz - 04-13-2014
This is actually a really nice idea. Thank God, where I grew up, Jesus was displayed in paintings and statues as this really nice, gentle guy, instead of all the scary, materialistic, tragedy-porn versions displayed in many churches in America these days. So, even when I found out how hollow so much of the Christianity actually was, I retained a good image of Jesus, and with research did come to see him as an admirable man with unbounded love.
Though, I have noticed some Ra material people see him as a superstar, but once you look at the folk-tales, and spiritual histories of other places, you find out that many Yeshuas walked the Earth, and quite a number of them spread love even at the pain of torture and death, without getting historical publicity.
That could actually have been nice, If Carla and co. had asked Ra, or later Quo about interesting figures, and ideas from around the world. It could have spread interest in Ra-Quo material more diversely around the world. We can do it next time Quo shows up, though I highly doubt they will.
and they know it.But hey, there is no hurry, we got enough time in the infinity. Anyways what a nice concept behind the statues, and ofcourse the expected response to it.

Well, that's the first statue I can't look at without getting all misty-eyed. I used to sing to 'Jesus' as a child, but I didn't have any kind of religious upbringing. So, my family thought it was a bit odd. Oh well, I like to think of him the same way you do manniz. Though perhaps also a bit silly.

Melissa, even though philosophically, I do not have that much interest, but instinctively Jesus actually gives me really good vibes. No matter how mature, advanced we may think of ourselves, right before going to sleep, there is a part of ourselves that is like a little child to this existence. The child within us that will probably stay even beyond seventh density. That child in me really likes figures like Jesus.
I bet Jesus was a bit silly. Most pure love beings are. It is their silliness that makes their love so intense. We all need that. In contrast, Buddha can seem to be too serious. He left for jungles to explore spirituality, when he had a young wife. If Buddha had not been so serious, he could have had a little leisure time. Buddha was actually a prince too. So, in his footsteps, I would have postponed spirituality to my future incarnations. We have got all the time we need in this creation.
But yeah, Jesus is such a love filled figure that it makes me sad, how so many of the Christians these days, especially the rapture-obsessed always talk about hell, suffering etc.

yeah Jesus to me has been the symbolic representation of the perfection of man for a while now. This was pleasant to see, thanks for sharing.

Yeah, not just folk tales and the like though, also down town at the local bakery and that old man who sells oranges.

Exactly, I wonder, if in some other incarnations, Jesus did sell oranges. I have been lucky to see Jesus kind of love and strength in few people, but it all depends on your circumstances what you are going to do with it. Most Yeshuas are going to serve without being noticed by history.

Now that I think about this, we do need a certain kind of stubbornness, crankiness to resist the consensus thinking.

All things are Yehsua's, every person you meet every rock and every animal. It's the becoming conscious of this fact that is the trick.
