really, deeply madly deeply, Jesus IS you. yes you. THIS is the really good news. not some more literalist rant that makes no sense whatsoever. so what do i mean?

Don't know if many of you are familiar with the current theories that show paganistic influence for the formation of the Chritian myth. there is much on offer if you care to look

Bascially, Jesus is the Hellenistic-Judaic version of the pagan god-man who was the ever-living ever-dying ever-regenerating god-man, Son/Lover of the Goddess

This god-man was to be eaten.drunk. i mean you know of the central ritual of the Christian myth don't you? The eating of the flesh and blood of Jesus. Well, that is precisely the pagan ritual of eating the sacred god-man-plant/hallucinogen

What happens is that this plant/mushroom is taken up an pulled apart (the meaning of "crucifixion"), ingested and hence is sacrificed

When the god-man then dies, simltaneously he is resurrected. Further, and this is where you come in. Your egoic boundary dis-solving, IS the resurrection. they happen simultaneously.

what egoic boundary dissolving means is that your rigid mindset becomes ever so more flexible, and open to the flow of things. Song, dance, sensuality, sexuality, awareness of Nature in all its deepnesses. This is spirituality in its essence.

so what happened? why did Jesus become an historical figure? what do you think?
