TRANSFORMATION

"If it is a sign of intelligence to be able to hold two opposite thoughts or opinions in your head, then it is a mark of a successful marriage to be able to truly see the other person's point of view. This is also the mark of a successful society."

(read: John 8:1-11)

This exercise requires the development of an individual to the highest levels of being. The impeccability required is, disturbingly so, outside of the Christian curriculum. Jesus was impeccable. How he became impeccable, and was able to transcend the role of Teacher to Saviour to Messiah was work not a magic trip. The review and study of what Jesus studied, and whom his teachers were is the real stuff of energy work. Merely looking at and studying his few recorded words, and the re-telling of his life by people many years after his death cannot, by any stretch of the will, fathom the depth of our calling as Humans in this lifetime, or being to plummet into the depth and breath of his spiritual work!


Transformation is the requirement of the times we live in, and the traditional superficial spiritual work acclaimed by millions of Christian, Muslim, and Jewish people has lost its potency, and is no longer, in my estimation, the antidote for what ails the world. Living as deep as I have since birth has kept alive the deep sense of the mystery of being alive in a mystery and has helped me survive the dogmas that taught me that we were born into sin. The very notion of being born into sin is contemptuous of Life, and the gift of Life from the Creator. Its philosophical and practical offspring has engineered so much tragedy, given rise to Judgment, and the dichotomies Judgment produced in the souls of people and nations is killing everything magical about simply being ourselves.


Trying to see other’s points of view can be learned intellectually, but ‘seeing’ is another dimension of spirituality. Seeing the depth of views from whence cometh an action, a thought, a sense of self, or the source of pain in relation to fear, and suffering, or the depth of love for a lover who holds contempt for your very presence ventures into an arena that danced behind Jesus’ words, “Go and sin no more.”


Jesus was sitting drawing in the dirt, the storyteller said, when a group of men dragged a woman in front of them. She had been caught having sex either with a married man or she was the married woman with an unmarried man. Either way they were spying and probably waited until the man came, and was done, and dressed before they dragged her out of bed. They argued a point of Law with Jesus who continued to draw in the dirt.


When he was ready Jesus said, “He who is without sin let him cast the first stone.”


He went back to his drawing. One by one each man dropped his stone. Instead of stoning her, which Mosaic Law required, the stones, one by one, fell to the ground, and the men walked away. When the last of the men had evaluated his life, and left, Jesus, still drawing in the dirt, asked the woman, “Where are your accusers?


If she were a ghetto chick she would have said, “Deh gone!” If she were a country girl she might have said, “Dun no. De up n lef.”


Jesus said, “Woman, where are those your accusers? Has no man condemned you?”


She must have been studying him deeply the way women do after giving themselves, in bed, to a man, and suddenly finding themselves facing condemnation, and their death. Jesus looked up from his writing with the deep set, and penetrating eyes famous for seeing beyond the norm into the valance barely masking souls, truths, knowledge and powers, and said simply to her response, ‘No man, Lord’, and said to her, “Neither do I condemn you. Go, and sin no more.”


After this the storyteller, John, said Jesus turned to the Pharisees, and spoke the language of an initiated man above their understandings of Law, Truth, and Self. It is a deep teaching, and an insight without parallel into the levels of existence Jesus’ initiations can plunge us into. Beyond giving one’s life to Jesus, and baptism, and the pouring of the Holy Spirit there is work, and that work can lead to impeccability, if we knew who taught Jesus, what he studied, where he laid his seed, and what ceremonies he practised.
