The True Meaning of the Crucifixion

 

I have good news and bad news for the Christian community. 

 

As Johnny Carson used to ask Ed McMahon, “Which do you want first, the good news or the bad news?  McMahon would invariably reply, “Let’s have the bad news first.” So here it is:

 

The bad new is Jesus Christ never existed. He was not an historic being.  There was never a crucifixion. The Passion of Christ is simply a misunderstanding that got out of control. 

 

For precise details and proof of this assertion read, “The Christ Conspiracy: The Greatest Story Ever Sold” by Acharya S or go to truthbeknown.com for expanded discussion. 

 

So what is the truth?

 

There is a tendency to throw out the baby with the bath water.  This article is designed to help you understand the truth about, God, you as a “soul” (read spiritual being), the universe, and how it is constructed.

 

No I am not an atheist – far from it. I think atheism is a reactionary response to the blatant hypocrisy and duplicity of the founding cadre of Christianity (in particular), which obtained the power of the sword from the Roman Emperor Constantine to create The Christ Conspiracy by coercion, murder, religiocide, genocide, assassination and general mayhem and religious cultism based on superstition, powerful personalities, and every other device human minds conjure to gain power over other beings.

 

Rational people don’t want to be fooled anymore. So they take radically reverse views: throwing out the baby with the bath water.

 

The heart of the Christian myth is the crucifixion. What is not well understood is exactly what the crucifixion represents. What it teaches. 

 

Dan Brown’s “Da Vinci Code” is historical fiction, but it has started a dialogue concerning the Catholic Church; its vicious deceits and murderous machinations over many centuries and into the modern era.

 

“The Da Vinci Code“ itself centers around an interesting premise concerning The Magdalene.

 

But who was Leonardo Da Vinci?

 

Dan Brown postulates in the “Da Vinci Code” that Leonardo Da Vinci was one of many grand masters leading a secret society of free thinkers which operates in the shadows on a worldwide scale. Another of these grand masters was Sir Isaac Newton.

 

This secret society, known today as The Iluminati, was formed from the remnants of the survivors of the Franco/Vatican purge of the Knights Templar.

 

The original knights who went to Jerusalem to look for a hidden treasure in the ruins of Solomon Temple were descendants of the massacred Cathar’s and scions of the Merovingian/Carolingian royal line. They knew what they were looking for, where to look for it and they found it.

 

What they found was knowledge not gold, including information proving Jesus Christ did not exist as an historic being; which is why all analysis of Da Vinci’s work shows a singular contempt for the Jesus figure and a particular reverence for John the Baptist.  The Crucifixion and the Passion story did not occur (and Da Vinci knew it), but, John the Baptist did exist and that he was the source of what was to become the Christian hegemony consolidated by the Roman Emperor Constantine.

 

“The Da Vinci Code” opens with a murder.  The victim Jacques Sauniere (who happens to be the present time Grand Master of the Ancient Templar Secret Society in a line from Leonardo Da Vinci) leaves a series of clues for our hero the first of which is the Vitruvian man.

 

 

I believe that Leonardo Da Vinci’s “Vitruvian” man is more than just a study of the mathematics of the Golden Mean as exemplified by the human body. Da Vinci believed the human body was a cosmografia del minor mondo (cosmography of the microcosm), that is he believed the workings of the human body to be an analogy for the workings of the universe."

 

The present state of consciousness is only capable of relating to the obvious surface representation of the Vitruvian man as a study in proportion.

 

There is a layer of reality just underlying the obvious.  If you superimpose the Vitruvian man over a cross:

 

 

…you will note something very interesting. It is not a lot different from this:

 

 

But there is more, the next layer below the surface understanding of The Vitruvian man is discovered when you superimpose the Chakral system over the whole scheme and get this:

 

 

and if you do the same with the Crucifixion icon:

 

 

These pictures are worth a thousand words. Because they reveal the next layer above the obvious, providing a more dynamic understanding of just exactly how all encompassing Da Vinci’s statement cosmografia del minor mondo (cosmography of the microcosm) really is in fact.

 

With all of the above in mind and the overwhelming evidence that there never was a Jesus Christ or a crucifixion on the scale represented in the biblical story then what is this all about?

 

Before examining this question, I’d like to share a personal experience of my own. My experience of meditation is not sitting quietly and silently doing nothing. Instead I experience major phenomena.

 

On one occasion I underwent a mild transmogrification in which my arms and legs became rigid and extended themselves in an approximation of the Crucifixion pose. The palms of my hands and the instep of my feet experienced pain as if penetrated by nails, and the lower left of my torso under my rib cage felt like it was pierced (this variation on the spear wound which traditionally was supposed to be on the right side was meant to penetrate the heart) The crown of my head experience pin prick sensations.

 

The stigmata phenomenon is well documented throughout Catholicism. It is generally more extreme than I experienced it. People exhibit actual wounds with all the attendant pain and bleeding. This has been observed by many witnesses. It is undoubtedly real.

 

In my case the experience was not that extreme, but was pronounced enough that I knew it was a variation of the stigmata.

 

I also knew this and other more savage experiences were the result of the chakras unfolding. I was also aware at that time that the whole human astral anatomy is composed of thousands of chakras but I only knew the seven primary chakras in detail (see my articles on the chakras).

 

I later learned there are chakras in both the palms of the hands and the insoles of the feet.

 

I realized then that the Crucifixion is a spiritual experience invoked by specific spiritual practices. I surmise that some ancient mystery schools understood and used these practices in their initiations. Most of these schools were peopled by inner circles of select individuals. These initiations were never meant to be broadly disseminated are taught. They were closely guarded secrets much like the Masonic Order in the modern era. They say they are not a secret organization. They say they are an organization with secrets.

 

They really are the model or are descendants of these ancient secret orders, which had rituals and initiations that marked the progress of students as they worked their way up the ladder of their organization to become adepts.

 

Since I am not a Mason I don’t know exactly what they teach at the highest levels of initiation.

 

There is also the possibility that the adepts of the secret Roman societies circa 90=300 CE, deliberately allowed the adherents of the historic Jesus with its myth of a literal crucifixion to prevail so that the true nature of the inner workings of their orders would never be penetrated by individuals outside their inner circle.

 

Fortunately for the seeker of truth, the humano-spiritual entity always has access to The powers. It is your birthright. You simply need to know how to access it. You don’t need to belong to a Secret Society are be a member of some mystery school to take possession of what is in plain view.

 

But, you do have to know how to access it. And that is the rub.

 

In sum, the crucifixion metaphor is a process of self realization in which the initiate experiences the awakening of the various chakras in a specific sequence resulting in the ultimate spiritural experience: union with God. The crown of thorns in the crucifixion scenario is the Saraswara chakra in the Yogic (Hindu esoteric self-realization) model.

 

The Passion of Christ with its Stations of the Cross typified by torture, humiliation and brutal abuse by external entities is the destruction of the ego. The ego is submitting to its own destruction and annihilation to become one with God. It can only do that by giving up personal reality.

 

Now compare this with the following classic description of yogic self-realization:

 

When the Yogi is ready to have his final union with God, he goes into some secluded environment usually a Himalayan Cave and sits in lotus. He begins a very specialize form of concentration. If you sustain concentration long enough it unfolds the more intense state of expanded consciousness called meditation. Sustaining meditation expands consciousness into the very specialized state of Contemplation. Now the action begins because sustaining Contemplation has the explosive effect of becoming the state of Super-consciousness at which point the Yogi now can command the opening of the Chakral array starting with the Muladhara which contains the sleeping Giant Soul power core called Kundalini as Kundalini awakens it send two probes Ida (female aspect) and Pingala (male aspect) read positive and negative poles in a spiral up the spinal column awakening..i.e... unfolding the lotus blossom like main Chakras to their full flower the two probes join and meet in the Third Eye and merge into one whereupon the Saraswara explodes open simultaneously Kundalini fully awake ascends in a rush up the Shushumna merging and exploding into the Saraswara activating it in such a manner that the Yogi experiences the becoming of a thousand suns… i.e… becoming one with God.

 

The similarities in principle to the Passion of Christ are astonishing.

 

It is just as likely that the story of the Buddha is a composite tale, like that of Jesus. Was there really an historical Buddha? Probably, just as there was John the Baptist a real historical character. This is not especially important, but the Buddha’s final act of awakening is as follows:

 

Siddhartha went to the site of Bodh Gaya, where he seated himself under a tree to meditate, vowing not to move until he had attained enlightenment. During his meditation he was assailed by doubts, temptations and terrifying visions sent by Mara, the personification of desire, but Siddhartha sat unmoved throughout.

Finally Mara himself appeared to taunt him, asking the Bodhisattva to produce evidence of his accumulated merit. In answer, he simply lowered his right hand to touch the earth. At his touch, the earth goddess spoke in voice like thunder, saying 'I am his witness' and defeated at last, Mara and his armies of demons retired. The dramatic moment when Siddhartha over came desire is represented in Buddhist art by the 'touching the earth' gesture, in which the Buddha seated in the meditation posture, lowers his right hand, palm inwards, so that his middle finger touches the earth.

Once again there is a startling similarity across all three traditions.

The common denominator is the resultant communion with God and/or the merger of the individual soul with the Over Soul. This is no mean feat. It is rarely done and some sources say it occurs only once in a billion lifetimes.

Up to now we are dealing with apocryphal stories. There is considerable controversy surrounding the events and there meaning.

Luckily there are a number of contemporary possibilities which give us hope that if the ancient stories are not historic events, there is an allegorical truth locked within them.

Ramakrishna is am historically verifiable figure. His story may be a matter of belief but there is ample history of his life and many of its details.

Here is his self-realization story: It is quite simple.

Ramakrishna claims to be an avatar. An avatar is a very advanced spiritual being in the hierarchy of entities. He reports that he undertook an earthly incarnation to accomplish specific course corrections necessary to keep the planet on its path toward the fulfillment of its destiny.

Apparently, even though he was an avatar, he was still subject to physical temptations and vagaries that could sidetrack him from his primary mission. It also appears that he had to work at self-realization, even if it was less difficult in his case.

It was necessary for him to take specific actions in preparation his moment of union with God.

When that time came and Ramakrishna believed he was ready to accomplish union with God, he went into the temple of which he was the presiding vicar (if I can use this word for a Hindu cleric). He took a sword and placed the business end over his heart and then made a demand of the creator he loved and longed to be united with.

Paraphrased:

‘O supreme lord of the universe, give me the vision and union with your divine Self or I have no wish to continue in mortal flesh. I will therefore plunge this sword into my heart and destroy this body. I can not live without complete union with your divine Self. At that moment and as he was about plunge the sword into his heart, the Self-realization sequence occurred and Ramakrishna became a Realized Being.

I don’t recommend doing this pro forma. It requires a special state of mind to achieve success and the act must be performed with absolute focus and dedication, a complete sincerity of desire to have no other experience than that of union with the divine self. Remember that Ramakrishna was an adult and a seasoned master of the yogas. He also took this drastic action at precisely the right moment in his life

Don’t try this at home.

If you take nothing else from this article consider this: no matter how many lies or inconsistencies you find within the religion you were raised in, do not decide to throw it away as worthless humbug, without clearly understanding the true basis of its ideas and lessons. There are treasures hidden within the dung. Finding them can be a messy business, but an eternally rewarding one.

P.S.: I believe there are varying degrees of Self-Realization and that in the West there were at least three whom I have identified who have achieved this exalted state:

Richard Wagner, Ralph Waldo Emerson and Helen Keller.

I have not been able to clearly identify Frank Lloyd Wright as a Realized Being. In his autobiography he speaks of Light in a very cryptic was which suggest he might have come close.
