Rhetorical Question #2

On May 9th on Facebook --  and here, under "Rhetorical Question #1", I made a post where I posed a completely rhetorical question (simply for consideration and pondering).

You might want to scroll down on my timeline, and read the entire original question, or just read the summary here:

"** WHAT IF ** many things that you had been taught all your life about the Bible, God, Jesus, Jesus' life, Jesus crucifixion and life after the crucifixion were wrong?  --  What would you think?  How would you respond?"

That was the rhetorical question then....

Here, again, I'd like to pose yet another completely rhetorical question, for folks to just simply consider and ponder....

** WHAT IF **...

... Jesus had a "normal birth"?
... Jesus, while in Egypt as a young child, joined the group called the Essenes?
... Jesus, from ages 12 through 30, traveled to India, Tibet and the Himalayas (via the Old Silk Route), where he learned from the Yogis, and in-turn taught them?
... Jesus, while in India, had the local "spiritual authorities" try to kill him there because He was too disruptive?
... Jesus, really, really, really tried to teach us how to "improve" - but His teachings have been corrupted over the centuries?
... Jesus had a relationship with Mary Magdalene?
... Jesus, did not really die on the cross?
... Jesus, was revived from the crucifixion by His Essene brethren?
... Jesus, after the crucifixion, returned to India and the East to continue His teachings there?
... Jesus continued His life with Mary Magdalene in India and elsewhere?
... Jesus "physically died" in AD109 and His physical grave is in India ?
... Jesus' mother Mary's "physical grave" is in Pakistan (through which they had traveled after the crucifixion)?
... Jesus has been "appearing" to various sincere seeking people, most especially Yogis in India, since his "physical death" in order to continue to help humanity?
... and
... what if all of this is documented?

How would you react...
What would you think...
How would you feel...
How would you respond...
What would you do...

Rhetorical Question #1

On May 9th, on Facebook, I had posed this completely rhetorical question.

(( Please note that the following question is meant simply as a rhetorical question...  meant to nudge folks into thinking, pondering, mulling, cogitating and ruminating... ))

How would you react...
What would you think...
How would you feel...
How would you respond...
What would you do...

*****  IF  *****

Much (but not necessarily completely _all_) that you had been taught all your life, and most of what you currently believed, about :::

...  the Bible ...
...  the Old Testament ...
...  the New Testament ...
...  Jesus ...
...  Jesus' childhood ...
...  Jesus' life ...
...  Jesus' crucifixion ...
...  Jesus' life after crucifixion ...
...  life after death ...
...  heaven ...
...  hell ...
...  the universe ...
...  man-made fake religion ...

***  WHAT IF most of what you had been taught -- is wrong ?  ***

How would you react ?
What would you do next ?

((  I will talk more about all this later... ))


Would you take the Red Pill?  Or would you take the Blue Pill, and go back to your unaware, sleeping slumber?

I took the Red Pill.

Resources to enable seeing that "The Emperor Has No Clothes" (to facilitate your Awakening)

These are the books that I have read since Feb 6, 2013 many of which were listed in the credits of the movie/documentary "ZEITGEIST".

Many folks are intimidated by "peer pressure" into believing what "the group" thinks. Especially in the "christian church", where the epitome of "peer pressure" exists -- in other words...  "You must believe this - because we said so - because if you don't - you will burn in hell for all eternity". 


Everyone wants to be "accepted".

This list of resources -- if you read them -- should help "raise the veil" and help you "see" that many of the things in the Bible (especially what is written about Jesus) have been changed and are not true.

I am *not* saying that the entirety of the Bible is wrong. I am simply saying that many things are wrong. There are a lot of worthy principles and teachings in the Bible (just as in other "religions") -- which I will be expanding upon here in the extremely near future.

But for now... here is that list of resources (remember that the pre-requisite is to have watched that movie/documentary named ZEITGEIST) ::

Welcome to my new blog!  This was born out of necessity due to some unfortunate circumstances and features occurring on Facebook.  Here - I will do my utmost to help raise people's awareness, help raise people's consciousness, help people realize "The Truth"; and to be of service to humankind, God, and to Jesus who is the Christ.
