 Yeah, I think you could say that the essence of love we would call Christ, and then Christianity is a religion that was developed as a defense against the Christ. That's like one of those quotable quotes that goes in a book. Christianity was a religion developed as a defense against the Christ. So it's just a word. It's the ego's world. You think it's, if a beam of light comes and says your pure love, you're innocent, you're sinless, and you're perfect, you think it's gonna just take that laying down? No, it's too clever. It's too clever and ingenious to simply go, oh you got me. It's like, oh no, this is my world, and I will make up a defense against the Christ. And it's the same with, to some extent you could say that we're not just poking fun at Christianity, but Buddhism, the Buddha nature is just pure oneness. Have you ever noticed that Buddhism has a lot of rituals? You go to a Buddhist retreat, you better be ready for some rituals, because there's a lot of them. We can say that about all the religions, Islam, Muhammad, and the prophets, but I've never heard of it. I guess they haven't done that, like Allah, there's not something called Allahism. I'm an Allahismist, or I'm a goddess. You know, the ego picks on something in form, so Muhammad was a prophet, a man, so Muhammadism or Islam, you see how it takes something in form and it twisted around and turns it into something linear, into some kind of organized linear thing. It's the same thing with Christ, Christianity, Buddha. I'm a Christ. I think you've probably gone up and said, I am the Christ. But in the end, so what can we say about this? Well, all it takes is a tweak in the mind where you tweak this thought about religion from linear theology into an experience. So I've got no problem with the word religion, it's just in my experience now it's been reinterpreted to be peace of mind. What religion are you? I don't understand the question, if peace of mind doesn't take on specific forms, it's just a state of mind. So the question is kind of like, what is the marital status of the number five? What is your religion? I am peace. Okay, yeah, but what is your religion? I am peace. It's like who's on first, what's on second? I don't know, it's on third. You know, the old comedies get, you could go back and forth with, but what is your religion? Is that the question you get answered? No, usually it's beyond that now. They just assume I am whatever they think I am. And I don't defend that. I don't even begin to go there. Well imagine if you're out traveling and you're sparkling and shining and someone comes up and you have this great rapport and you're chatting and they feel the love and the connection and then they just say whatever works. You know, you're a Christian aren't you? Or you're a Buddhist aren't you? Or you're such and such. It could even be something more extreme like you are so happy. You don't believe in God do you? You don't even have to defend that one because God is not to be believed in or not believed in, but to be known, it's an experience. So the Holy Spirit will use all the words and the symbols just to nurture that joining, not to throw up a concept. As soon as you throw up a concept then it can seem to be attacked and defended very easily because that's what happens with concepts. You have more division. The Spirit is not a concept. We're back to that unlearning. We're here to just unlearn all of the concepts and to not be identified with any of them. You see how freeing that is. If you're not identified as a man or a woman then how could this construct of sexism bother you? In fact, you can even go deeper. Let's get beyond like man and woman or male or female. How about masculine and feminine? You see how this is still part of the ego's dualistic concepts and if you get identified with one of those qualities over the other then you can get defensive. If you're identified with masculine qualities and tendencies and someone walks up to you and says, Oh, you're so feminine or you're identified with the feminine qualities and someone comes up and says, You are really masculine. You see? Scotty, shields up. We need power. You're going to get the defense shields up right away because they're saying something that doesn't relate to the way that you perceive yourself. So in anthropology, I think it was they came up with this concept called androgyny which I kind of resonated with because androgyny is the sense that you are neither male or female, masculine or feminine, you are none of those qualities. You are beyond the qualities but there is one that can use the qualities in the most helpful way and that is the presence of God. So androgyny is just simply calling upon qualities that serve the whole. In any specific instance, whatever qualities would serve the whole, they're used. It's kind of a cool idea, you know, when you think of it. You know, it's like when Dale was talking about your relationship last night and you said, I am tired of feeling like the man, playing the man role. And then, you know, you can say, okay then, I don't have to identify with that. And you can do that with anything. If somebody says to you, you are too intellectual, you can just go back inside and go, okay, so I'm not going to identify my beingness with being intellectual or with being too this or too that. People will ask me, they'll say, which is it? Is the path to God rational or emotional? And I'd say, rational or emotional, it's both. But you see how in this world, those two seem to be opposites. Jesus says there's only two emotions, love and fear. And Jesus also says that his curriculum is rational because it's based on the premise of the Holy Spirit. So it's loving and rational. It's emotional and rational. See how this pops all those things. The head is often associated with the intellect, the heart is associated with the emotions. And if you go around and you talk to the ones that say, we are the touchy-feely people and we have one message for you, get out of your head and get into your heart. Then you go to the scientists, the philosophers, the ones that have a great appreciation for Socrates, Plato, rationality and everything. And they're like saying, would you get over this feeling crap and get into something that is cognitively meaningful? You see, it's two different experiences at the same thing. Everyone's going through an awakening, but it's just these different semantics just get in the way. So that's what we're here for. We're here for that.
