THE TAO
Within the three fishes you will see the tao symbol that replaced the earlier one. The original ancient Tao symbol was two fishes; one male and one female swimming head to tail in a sphere in harmony with creation; no duality, no dark and light just oneness together in equality. One can find this symbol of the two fishes following each other in a floor mosaic of remains of the oldest church in Israel.
ANCIENT SCROLLS
"In 1907, in a remote region of China, explorers discovered a vast treasure trove of ancient scrolls. Dating from the 5th to 11th centuries AD, they recounted a Taoist Christian interpretation of Jesus' life and teachings. These texts offer a gentler, more Eastern, spiritual Christianity, and provide and important message. The book 'Jesus Sutra's by Martin Palmer explores the story of the first Christian missions to China; how the Church of the East blended Eastern and Western spiritual principles and how Jesus was depicted as a Buddha-type Christ. The contents of each of the sutra's include their hopeful vision of life on earth, original goodness and their teaching that Jesus had broken the wheel of karma."
The 'Jesus Sutra's, Rediscovering the lost religion of Taoist Christianity is one that you like to keep close to your heart. The discussions between Jesus and Simon are heartwarming. Jesus talks about escaping from the realm of desire of the physical world and arriving in a place of purity and clarity. He expounds on how people can break the wheel of karma and transcend rebirth. He mentions past lives and how to find happiness. The Gospel of Thomas also talks about happiness more than any other gospel. Jesus knew that true happiness can only be found within and that is why he told people that the Kingdom of God is within YOU.
Abba said "Many think they have found the Kingdom of God but they have only found the first heaven of the happiness within".
JESUS SUTRA'S
Jesus said "What your ancestors have done bears fruit in you, their karma finds its outcome in you" 3:18,20-21). This teaching can also be found in Exodus chapter 34; here we find a quote that states that the actions of the parents will impact on the children for three to four generations’. One can think of it in terms of transgenerational disease or inherited genetics, although it can manifest on many different levels of consciousness.
Simon spoke up and said "We didn't know the truth-and we need salvation." The Messiah replied: "So good. Everything that exists needs the True Law, and every kind of person can find what's just below the surface - buried deeper than our eyes. The truth is like looking at the white of the moon in water. If the water is cloudy you cannot see it clearly. Its like burning straw in a fire. If the straw is wet, the fire cannot burn brightly. Spiritual life can be hidden and dampened like this." How does the straw become wet? Water is symbolic of emotion and it is emotion that makes the straw become wet; that is why Jesus was teaching people to walk on water, he was teaching them to walk upon the ocean of emotion in the same way that all good spiritual teachers do. It is part of self-mastery and overcoming the earthly realm.
This teaching can also be found in Plato that preceded the time of Jesus.
HEART SUTRA
When a person has come to completion of truth within themselves they come to know that truth of creation and the Spiritual law is universal. The first principles of cause and effect are part of our being although many orthodox literal mindsets do not understand it because it takes an enlightened mind to become one with it.
When you share this with orthodox Christians they shout "Jesus did not teach enlightenment". Our response is read your bibles and understand what is written therein on a spiritual level. Jesus taught people how to walk the sacred path of healing home to God. Unfortunately, many Christians were not taught about this and the inner layers of his true teachings. The teachings of Jesus were spiritual not religious and he was bringing forth what had existed since the foundation of creation. Remember this the word religion does not exist in biblical hebrew now ask yourselves the reason why?
I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better. I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, and his incomparably great power. Ephesians 1:17-19
How many have become angelic and taught their souls to fly beyond earthly realities? How many Christians know how to attain Sainthood?
It is impossible for those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, who have shared in the Holy Spirit, who have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the coming age, if they fall away, to be brought back to repentance, because to their loss they are crucifying the Son of God all over again and subjecting him to public disgrace.Hebrews 6:3-6
Many Christians have fallen away from the sacred although they are not aware of it. Most lead an earthly religious life instead of the spiritual one that Jesus was so passionate about. Most Christians cannot live up to the standards and moral compass of Jesus Christ because they have not taken the step onto the spiritual pathway. Some say all paths lead to God. However, I am witnessing more and more religious people being led nowhere but to unbelief in God and the same is true of some spiritual people as well. Why is that? Some paths take people into a cul-de sac and then people have no choice but to go backwards.
The right spiritual path takes a person upwards; you rise up through self purification and healing to become one with God. In mystical Judaism it is called the 'Ascent of the Tree of Life" and many spiritual people talk about ascension. Many have walked the spiritual path all of their lives yet very few break the wheel of karma due to not having integrated ABC before learning XYZ and this contributes to people stumbling. Those that seek truth from outside of the self cease to find it within. When a person finds the truth within they can then find confirmation of their experiences everywhere.
Jesus was a Buddha and there is a lovely saying from the Buddhist monk Thich Nhat Hanh "When you are a truly happy Christian, you are also a Buddhist. And vice versa." This monk views both Buddha and Jesus as his spiritual ancestors. [2] How many Christians have the flexibility to do the same?
There are many rooms in my Father's house and each room holds the spirituality of a different culture. The most beautiful thing of all is that you will find healing in all of them. Even Buddha was called the Medicine Buddha due to his ability to heal and this is the divine birth right of all humanity. God sent many Messengers, Prophets and Spiritual teachers down the ages to help humanity. How many people actually appreciate the help that God sends to help you all? If humanity were on track God would not have any requirement to send helpers.
How can Christians continue to ignore these signs from God? How many more crop circles before they get the message? Can Christians think outside of the box that they allowed religion to put them in?
As Jesus said 'Religion buries men in boxes". In other words he is talking about the spiritually dead.
"Even the stork in the sky knows her appointed seasons, and the dove, the swift and the thrush observe the time of their migration. But my people do not know the requirements of the LORD."Jeremiah 8:7
UPDATE
Insight = The Tao of the Trinity of the Three fishes also indicate the Past, Present and Future. So as much as some people would like to leave the Trinity behind; they cannot because all is part of creation and from the source of creation.
