The Buddha And Jesus Legends
Reflections On Our World’s Legends – Part Five
‘The Great Father/Mother cannot be separated from each other. They are equal partners who complement and complete each other and who work together harmoniously and peacefully. They are one and one cannot be without the other. In the creative process they lovingly respond to each other. The Father provides the ideas and the Mother’s wisdom decides which ones are worthy of becoming manifest, where and when. There is no struggle for one dominating the other. Each one does their share of the job in hand. In their case it consists of creating new worlds and their inhabitants. They also de-create and remove the ones that have outlived their usefulness and are therefore ready to disappear, to be recycled by being created into something new.
‘Everything in the whole of Creation is well planned; there is no chaos anywhere. Whatever happens anywhere is in keeping with God’s great plan of life and it contains billions of smaller plans. There is one for every world and each one of these plans has countless even smaller plans within it. The Angels and Masters around the throne of God, the Christ Circle, with its helpers on all other levels of the spirit realm, carry out the Great Father/Mother’s will and wishes.
‘As sparks of the Divine, each one of you is androgynous like your Creator. You do not need other people to make you whole, because you already are. Your inner and outer selves also are one. If you are at present experiencing earthly life in a woman’s physical body, your inner being is a man. The most important men in your life, for example your father, husband or partner are outer manifestations of this man, and vice versa. And for a well balanced education you spend some of your lifetimes as either a woman or a man. If, during your times of playing the role of a man, you treat the women around you with the love and respect they deserve, you will be handled that way by the men in your life when you appear as a woman. This is how the law of Karma affects every one of you in many different and often unobtrusive ways.
‘Therefore, nobody in your world is all woman or man, the same as nobody is either all good or all bad. Every one of you is a mixture of the very best and the worst that human beings are capable of. In the process of gradually bringing forth ever more of that which is good, right and beautiful in your nature, slowly but surely you are shedding that which is dark, ugly and evil. Because both have to be experienced first hand, it cannot be any other way.
‘The emaciated man on Christianity’s cross, who is bleeding to death from his wounds, is a symbolism of this initiation in which every human being, at a predestined point of their earthly education, takes part. And the cross is the oldest symbol known to humankind for its earthly existence. When you leave the drives and urges of your lower nature behind, so your God or Christ nature can ever more take over your whole being, you are nailing that part of yourself to the cross of earthly life. This enables your higher nature to rise from the tomb in which it has been slumbering for this event. The Jesus legend’s three days points to a time span of unknown length. You yourself, or rather you lower self is Jesus. He was nailed to the cross not by Roman soldiers but your very own higher nature.
‘The Abrahamic religions of Judaism, Christianity and Islam form one of the great cycles of humankind’s development. The Buddha and Jesus legends complement each other, while Islam completes them. The word Islam means surrender to God and that is the process during which humankind’s individual and collective lower nature, freely and willingly, surrenders itself to its higher God or Christ nature. Instead of endlessly continuing religious confrontations and warmongering by those who do not yet understand their religion’s true meaning, that is the only thing that can and will eventually bring true and lasting peace to humankind and its world. With the Aquarian age’s understanding that there is only one God and that is the God of love, and only one religion, the religion of love, and so forth, Judaism’s teachings that there is only one God closes the cycle it once started.
‘Ever more of you are by now becoming aware that God is in everything and everything is of and part of God. The ultimate purpose of humankind’s earthly education is bringing forth, each from deep within their own being, that which is good, right and beautiful and through this leaving behind, once and for all, that which is dark, ugly and evil in everybody’s own nature and all aspects of your world. And that is a natural evolutionary process in which every human spark, from the moment of its creation, is constantly taking part. The spiritual knowledge every one of them gains along the pathway of their earthly existence are the rays of light that God and the Angels have always been shining through those who were ready to receive it. Every bit of it is another effort at reducing the darkness of ignorance that to this day is the cause of all suffering that exists in your world. And that’s what the legends of your world have always been about.
The Buddha is a symbolism for the Great Father/Mother’s compassionate nature, because they are by no means indifferent to what their beloved children of the Earth for such a long time have been inflicting upon each other. That’s why the Buddha and Jesus legends were given to your world. For wise higher educational reasons that have been explained sufficiently in other parts of the Aquarian writings, these tales were designed to be first understood literally, as if their leading figures really had once walked the Earth.
‘But the deeper you penetrate into the age of truth, the more of you will be ready to discover the higher esoteric meanings that have always been hiding behind the surface words of the legends God and the Angels gave to your world. They were lovingly and carefully designed in a way that would eventually show God’s children of the Earth the true nature of their Creator and also their own, as well as the high and holy destiny that is in store for every human being. At the right time, the Buddha and Jesus legends together would provide each of them with a powerful instrument for ending not only their own suffering but also that of the whole of humankind and its world. This is the meaning of the Buddha legend’s ‘latter days of the law’ and Christianity’s ‘second coming’. We shall return to that theme.
