After a long dark night of the soul and reaching out to God more than I had my entire life, I recently had a spiritual awakening. Up until that point, I had been meditating and talking to God on a daily basis for months. When I had my awakening, I didn't understand what was going on. I called my mother in law, who is a Christian. She explained to me that I had been delivered and born of the holy spirit. I began being "delivered" again while on the phone with her. She began to pray over me and taught me how to rebuke. It went away and I was filled with this indescribable feeling of energy and love. This lasted for weeks before I balanced back out to my "normal" state. I was not a christian up until that point, but after having that experience I picked up the Bible for the first time in my life and started going to church. Now Im just trying to understand what exactly I need to do to be closer to God and what path I need to follow. Is Christianity false? Is the bible false? If we believe in God and Jesus, aren't we "Christian?" I get so confused hearing different perspectives but am open to it all if it leads to the truth. Just trying to find that truth is a bit confusing. Sorry for the long post, just interested to hear your perspective on my situation 😊 Thank you

[@Rahmeanthony]

man it's great content. Coupling Buddhism, Hinduism, Tao philosophy, and Jesus's philosophy is amazing way to open up. Opening up takes you to the place of Yoga (or Unity with the divine) Keep the good work, peace

Thanks for this comment, friend! It's a beautiful thing when one comes to see / experience the Golden Thread that ties all Wisdom together. As a minister, I hope to be help serve folks on their path to salvation / enlightenment; Especially those in the West who are so familiar and accustomed to the avatar of Jesus many have missed out on so much of his teaching due to our hyper-religious Christian culture. The Way of Jesus is Union - as you so accurately pointed out! Thanks again!

[@LukeBricker]

YES! Love that you brought this out. There's so much in this passage, I had to try to just stick to one point - glad you added this here!

[@bluwng]

Was this something that came to you or something that was learned?

[@VirginMostPowerfull]

NO, the first Christians rejected this opinion. It was universally accepted that baptism was what Jesus taught there. Enlightenment is found in the Church founded by Jesus himself, the Catholic Church. It's a spiritual path, or rather The spiritual path par excellence. Jesus Christ taught us this and said the Holy Spirit would lead us into all truth.

This is on point. Thanks for taking the time to share this.

Thanks so much for you endorsement! It's mu joy to help people reimagine the Way.

Thank you for this video, was super helpful. Could you share your perspective on what “just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up” means?

Hey my man. Who is this teacher you keep mentioning?

Hey there! Master Yeshua (Jesus).

[@tookie36]

Agree with the importance of a spiritual rebirth but I do think we miss something without understanding the importance of the cross. Yes we need to re order and let go. But what does that look like in the world? Once that re order happens the awakened one carries their cross and sacrifices themselves fully to the father even to death on the cross ❤

[@cameronbutler2960]

What's your take on heaven? The afterlife? Do you think we just die?

[@LukeBricker]

There is only Life - no “after” life. Eternal Life is happening without beginning or end in divine order and “toggling” on and off (as we perceive it) - we call this conscious and unconscious. The shortest way I can answer is the body is finite, the soul is infinite. The infinite breath of life animates the finite body, the infinite breath (God within) can not be destroyed but shift forms.

[@cameronbutler2960]

@@LukeBricker so will we be individually aware as we are now but in a spiritual realm? Or when we die do we lose consciousness? I'm trying to understand what you believe happens to us after physical death

[@LukeBricker]

@@cameronbutler2960 honestly, Mann I don’t spend too much time giving a ton of consideration to the details of that, I just trust that the creator is benevolent, and trust it will be much better than I ever anticipated. This may be another helpful analogy: Disciple: Rabbi, what happens to us when we die? Rabbi: I’m not sure, you’re asking a living Rabbi, not a dead one. 😁

[@cameronbutler2960]

I understand what you're saying. Sounds like you believe that we mantain our consciousness if you're saying it's better than we can imagine. Or else we wouldn't know if it was better..

[@LukeBricker]

@@cameronbutler2960 somewhat, I don’t believe in “our consciousness” as a separate thing we possess from the whole. Even now, what we think is “us” or “our” thoughts aren’t ours. It’s God expressing Godself. Our Work is to realize we are one with God, dissolving the illusion of separation.

Spiritually speaking (gender aside), matriarchy can also begin with an understanding of the cyclical nature of reality (God). Represented by the snake in many creation myths, the living cycle has a trinity of a beginning (head), a middle and end (tail). As above so below, the sexes were created in the image of God's cyclical nature where Mother is the head and opening to all beginnings and Father holds the tail to all endings (through which the sowing of seeds allow for the next great matriarchal rebirth).The joining of the two (symbolized by the Ouroborus or the marriage ring) is the sacred union needed in assuring the creation and continuation of new life cycles. To speak of the present day God as "Our Father" is simply an admission to our collective positioning within the bigger cycle. As all mothers have direct experience with the creator quality of birthing, so is the direct experience of rebirthing the divinity within (baptism) belong to that which is spiritually matriarchal. (John 3, verse 3-8). Sekhmet statues (ancient Egyptian) carry most of their weight in symbolic memory of what was a mother culture dedicated to the direct experience of baptism. As the leg shaped hairlocks extend from maternal breasts to the womb of rebirth, the lioness's head proportions are such that they highlight the bust of a second animal figure. The Lioness's ears as eyes and eyes as nose (nostrils) brings to life the figure of a reptile. 'Neath the halo headress of the solar egg, the lioness's egg fertilization process being internal (Set) and the reptile's egg fertilization process being external (Setting), such being key components to the safety of entering the trans-egoic or "born again" state. The life threatening fear associated with the predatory nature of a lion and/or crocodile encounter are reflective of the intense ego death experiences associated with the transpersonal awakening process. In spiritually matriarchal times, illumination could be seen as wearing the false beard (ancient Egyptian funerary "ego" death mask) as the high state of cyclical self knowing; high awareness of both our upper matriarchal half and our lower (later) patriarchal half (compared with a mini lower body replica, an "as above so below" tail end beard extension); in full recognition of her civilizational Underworld; her inevitable cyclical destiny. The male pharaoh wears his beard tapered in reverse, indicating a pointing upwards towards the patriarchal head, divine representative of God's tail end cycle. Mary's anointing and wiping of Jesus's feet with her hair can then be seen as "Head to tail" (toe) imagery as she descends her matriarchal head to his patriarchal feet, thus reenacting the high understanding of the divine cyclical process. (John 12, verse 3) To carry the Ankh (now the female symbol ♀️) was perhaps to symbolically carry that upper and lower understanding. As the upper matriarchal womb symbolised the fertile birthing of civilization, below, the now Christian cross is carried to place emphasis on the lower (later) "End Times" Father principle of the great cycle. Lord Ganesha, the elephant headed Hindu diety, displays a cyclical head to trunk symbolism and points to the Mother head of his matriarchal elephant society. Ganesha (like the elephant) wears God's cyclical nature on his face. A whole temple was dedicated to Hathor (ancient Egyptian diety), who is the matriarchal "Uterus" personified. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gGHQYa2AiKp5gZI "See all women as mothers, serve them as your mother. when you see the entire world as the mother, the ego falls away. See everything as Mother and you will know God." - Neem Karoli Baba "My son, keep thy father's commandment and forsake not the law of thy mother" - Proverbs 6 : 20

Buffet belief system

[@LukeBricker]

Just following in the Christian tradition! Pick up all you learn across cultures and assimilate it into the overarching narrative of reconciliation. Enjoy your upcoming Christmas holiday - a buffet of pagan rituals adapted to fit the virgin birth narrative. Cheers, friend.

[@Washedintheblood1988]

I don't celebrate holidays but thank you for the sentiment

[@SonnyWane]

@@LukeBricker How do you maintain this attitude of radical openness, yet condemn the next man (presumptuously) for incorporating what you deem "pagan rituals"? The hypocrisy is palpable.
