I am not using faith healing as you have described it. I am going for a childlike faith in the Lord Jesus. Just simply asking Him to heal you. And I think it'd be fitting for you to be healed before me. I understand science and medicine has not found a cure for schizophrenia. I am simply believing for your healing anyway. i see that the you have taken seriously the forum rules, guidelines, criteria for being a member of the forum, & strict rules around proselytizing, & have taken seriously my own feelings & thoughts / beliefs around religions, the Bible & Christianity.

What makes you think that you can cure long term severe schizophrenia over the internet with a religious belief when you are yourself suffering severe mental illness? i really would suggest trying to sort yourself out first. Heal / cure yourself first of all your own issues, then go out into the local community & work with local homeless with have serious mental / physical illness & drug & alcohol addiction with the power of Christ - then get back to me. Thanks. i'm sorry but all this is total nonsense.

Yes, I am praying left and right for you and other people to be healed of all kinds of things. What manner of Christian healing are you speaking of? Im taught its not a matter of knowledge or something to be obtained mentally, but of child-like faith coming from the heart. Im not aware of any forseeable dangers from that. i also don't think that you should interfere with other people's lives / energies without their permission. Do you want me to do some magick on you without asking?

The serpent is true to the principle of wisdom, for it tempts man to the knowledge of himself…the serpent is the symbol of prototype of the Universal Savior, who redeems the worlds by giving creation the knowledge of itself and the realization of good and evil. If this be not so, why did Moses raise a brazen serpent upon a cross in the wilderness that all who looked upon it might be saved from the sting of lesser snakes? Was not the brazen serpent a prophecy of the crucified Man to come: If the serpent be only a thing of evil, why did Christ instruct His disciples to be as wise as serpents?

Re: Hidden Esotericism in the Bible "Why did Christian teaching not bear any obvious information relating to esoteric knowledge, including reincarnation?... the Bible is full of esoteric wisdom. But it may take some insight to discover it. It seems to be the case, especially in the past, that esoteric information, when embodied in literature made available to the public, was veiled beneath exoteric or more obvious interpretations. For if the deep symbolic meanings in biblical literature had been made obvious, on the surface, it is questionable whether the Bible could have survived, especially through the dark ages. "It probably would have been discarded as irrelevant. It seems to be an indication of genius on the part of many writers, whose works later were gathered together to make up the Bible, that they produced material which could be interpreted on at least three different levels. The first level is of course a quite literal one. The second is a bit more sophisticated but still subject to interpretation by the concrete mind of the orthodox religionist. The third carries an esoteric meaning. <>Howard Ray Carey: Hidden esotericism in the Bible en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Howard_Ray_Carey"In Hindustan, as in England, there are doctrines for the learned, and dogmas for the unlearned; strong meat for men & milk for babes; facts for the few, & fictions for the many, realities for the wise, and romances for the simple; esoteric truth for the philosopher, & exoteric fable for the fool. <><Hurrychund Chintamon, quoted by H.

“All creation is governed by law,” Sri Yukteswar concluded. “The ones which manifest in the outer universe, discoverable by scientists, are called natural laws. But there are subtler laws ruling the realms of consciousness which can be known only through the inner science of yoga. The hidden spiritual planes also have their natural and lawful principles of operation. It is not the physical scientist but the fully self−realized master who comprehends the true nature of matter. Thus Christ was able to restore the servant's ear after it had been severed by one of the disciples.”
- Paramahansa Yogananda

"in my studies today: krishna said: worship me, honor me, pray to me: me, me, me, which is thine own self...
when the buddhist reaches the highest state of consciousness it is said he becomes a buddha...
when god was asked by moses his name god responds: "i am" god is i am, i am god...i mean: how much more straight forward can it be?!!!

Weren’t the Christians Up Against a Gnostic Religion? G.R.S. Mead at the Dawn of the Modern Study of Gnosticism www.academia.edu/39691523/Weren_t_the_Christians_Up_Against_a_Gnostic_Religion_G_R_S_Mead_at_the_Dawn_of_the_Modern_Study_of_Gnosticism_A discussion of how G.R.S. Mead shaped 20th-century Anglophone discourse about Gnosticism decades prior to the Nag Hammadi discovery, through his interpretation of the Askew and Bruce Codices, and his popularization of the work of Berlin Coptologist Carl Schmidt. Thanks in part to Mead, the reception-history of the Askew and Bruce Codices goes straight through histories of esotericism, occultism, and magic in the twentieth century.

Which Christianity indeed. There were various Christian cults during the first three centuries CE. Eusibius, apologist, advisor and biographer to Constantine, wrote in his Ecclesiastical Historica in 324 CE that there were more than 60 known heresies (non-orthodox versions of Christianity). Constantine called the Council of Nicaea in 325 CE to establish the approved version. The bishops voted. Those voting against became instant heretics. We know of the Ebionites, Marcionites and Gnostics, but have no record of the other versions. The heretics were sought, killed and their sacred texts destroyed. In 1945 near the Egyptian town of Nag Hammadi, Gnostic and other early Christian texts were found in jars buried in the desert. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nag_Hammadi_library

The Christed Mystic
Within the last century several books have been published to supplement the meager descriptions in the Gospels of Jesus and His ministry. In some instances these narratives claim to be founded upon early manuscripts recently discovered; in others, upon direct spiritual revelation. Some of these writings are highly plausible, while others are incredible. There are persistent rumors that Jesus visited and studied in both Greece and India, and that a coin struck in His honor in India during the first century has been discovered. Early Christian records are known to exist in Tibet, and the monks of a Buddhist monastery in Ceylon still preserve a record which indicates that Jesus sojourned with them and became conversant with their philosophy.
Although early Christianity shows every evidence of Oriental influence, this is a subject the modern church declines to discuss. If it is ever established beyond question that Jesus was an initiate of the pagan Greek or Asiatic Mysteries, the effect upon the more conservative members of the Christian faith is likely to be cataclysmic. If Jesus was God incarnate, as the solemn councils of the church discovered, why is He referred to in the New Testament as "called of God an high prim after the order of Melchizedek"? The words "after the order" make Jesus one of a line or order of which there must have been others of equal or even superior dignity.
If the "Melchizedeks" were the divine or priestly rulers of the nations of the earth before the inauguration of the system of temporal rulers, then the statements attributed to St. Paul would indicate that Jesus either was one of these "philosophic elect" or was attempting to reestablish their system of government. It will be remembered that Melchizedek also performed the same ceremony of the drinking of wine and the breaking of bread as did Jesus at the Last Supper.
George Faber declares the original name of Jesus was Jescua Hammassiah. Godfrey Higgins has discovered two references, one in the Midrashjoholeth and the other in the Abodazara (early Jewish commentaries on the Scriptures), to the effect that the surname of Joseph's family was Panther, for in both of these works it is stated that a man was healed "in the name of Jesus ben Panther." The name Panther establishes a direct connection between Jesus and Bacchus--who was nursed by panthers and is sometimes depicted riding either on one of these animals or in a chariot drawn by them. The skin of the panther was also sacred in certain of the Egyptian initiatory ceremonials.
The monogram IHS, now interpreted to mean Iesus Hominum Salvator (Jesus Savior of Men), is another direct link between the Christian and the Bacchic rites. IHS is derived from the Greek ΥΗΣ, which, as its numerical value (608) signifies, is emblematic of the sun and constituted the sacred and concealed name of Bacchus. (See The Celtic Druids by Godfrey Higgins.) The question arises, Was early Roman Christianity confused with the worship of Bacchus because of the numerous parallelisms in the two faiths? If the affirmative can be proved, many hitherto incomprehensible enigmas of the New Testament will be solved.
It is by no means improbable that Jesus Himself originally propounded as allegories the cosmic activities which were later con fused with His own life. That the Χριστός, Christos, represents the solar power reverenced by every nation of antiquity cannot be controverted. If Jesus revealed the nature and purpose of this solar power under the name and personality of Christos, thereby giving to this abstract power the attributes of a god-man, He but followed a precedent set by all previous World-Teachers. This god-man, thus endowed with all the qualities of Deity, signifies the latent divinity in every man. Mortal man achieves deification only through at-one-ment with this divine Self. Union with the immortal Self constitutes immortality, and he who finds his true Self is therefore "saved." This Christos, or divine man in man, is man's real hope of salvation--the living Mediator between abstract Deity and mortal humankind. As Atys, Adonis, Bacchus, and Orpheus in all likelihood were originally illumined men who later were confused with the symbolic personages whom they created as personifications of this divine power, so Jesus has been confused with the Christos, or god-man, whose wonders He preached. Since the Christos was the god-man imprisoned in every creature, it was the first duty of the initiate to liberate, or "resurrect, " this Eternal One within himself. He who attained reunion with his Christos was consequently termed a Christian, or Christened, man.

Jesus is misunderstood in the world. Jesus was a Dharmi, not an Abrahamist. Here is the proof that most Christians follow Paul, the church, and the old testament, and not the actual teachings of Jesus himself, and also proof that Muslims don't follow Jesus. Muslims and some Christians say God cannot be seen. Jesus said, "blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God." Matthew 5:8 Muslims believe God has no sons and Christians believe Jesus is the only son of God. Jesus said, "Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God." Some Christians say, "Jesus died for our sins, therefore it's okay to keep on sinning." Jesus said, "Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching. My Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them." John 14:23 Christians say, "If you don't convert to Christianity you will go to hell for eternity." but Jesus never said that! Jesus said, "seek and you will find." Matthew 7:7 Jesus said, "The kingdom of God is within you." only an enlightened Dharma master would say that and not an Abrahamist.
