But for the sake of honesty and to prevent lost loosh, everyone knows Christ has nothing to do with that. He was a tradesman for one.
Marxism has little to do with that either. Marx was a selfish loafer who provided nothing in return but came up with his intellectualized parasitism from the perspective of his friend's couch.
That friend by the way was allowing him to freeload as he made his profits from business. Marx subsisted off the work and enterprise of others without being honest about the bigger picture - typical Jew behavior.
JewMarx was simply seeking a lazier/more efficient way than capitalism to reap the material decadence of Mammon without sacrificing his own lifeblood or providing something of value. At the least a clever salesman, a wielder of word magic.

There is a difference between Jesus the man and Christ the higher consciousness that became active in him, and can become active in us. The end goal of his legacy was for each of us to do likewise, and that is the basis of Gnostic belief.

Christian Mystic here. I want to tell you something that churchianity does not understand to this day. The ekklesia of the Christ was a Mystery Cult in the classic sense of the term. The Lord spoke to Aaron and Miriam, saying: When there is a prophet among you, I, the Lord, reveal myself to them in visions, I speak to them in dreams.
But this is not true of my servant Moses; he is faithful in all my house.
With him I speak face to face, clearly and not in riddles; he sees the form of the Lord.
In other words, the Creator conceals when He communicates. Riddles and symbols are the measures that He uses to communicate.
When the Christ came, and said: Very truly I tell you, the Son can do nothing by himself; he can do only what he sees his Father doing, because whatever the Father does the Son also does. The Christ would openly teach, but in a veiled manner. The Father speaks in riddles, so the Christ would do no different.
And later, to underscore the point, the Christ says: This is why I speak to them in parables: "Though seeing, they do not see; though hearing, they do not hear or understand.
However, Churchianity believes that they have the whole thing figured out. And in their blind pride, you will see no power revealed nor wisdom told, for they have forgotten the way to the source. But they will speak to you ad nauseam that they have the keys of life…yet cannot manifest a single miracle. They will tell you that the entire bible is true, and it has life in it, and it is, but not in the way that they handle it.
The Christ Himself said: You study the Scriptures diligently because you think that in them you have eternal life. These are the very Scriptures that testify about me, yet you refuse to come to me to have life.
TL,DR
The blind will always lead the blind.

>All this is solar bull worship and it is not spiritual, spirituality is individual, internal and not external.No one is arguing that Judeo-Christianity (what most people refer to Christianity as) is just pure material, external Saturnianism.
The merging of the Jewbook (old testament/torah) with a propagandistic retelling of the story of an enlightened man who traveled to India and studied and achieved self-mastery (new testament/letters of Saul) while conveniently obscuring or leaving all the important stuff out is the perfect way for a failing empire to yoke a diverse number of people together to create a new empire and a new paradigm that can be used to the advantage of the tribe of the hexagon triangle thing. It looks like this was very deliberate and calculated.
No one is arguing against this.
What we *are* arguing against is the idea that Yeshua and what remains of his actual story and teachings should be rejected entirely on the basis that some angry Pharisees hated him and appropriated his story to destroy what remained of his disciplehood, leading to the watered down "christianity" we have today. That's a little like rejecting the cultures and practices of the sunwheel solely on the basis that a certain German political party used it.
For Yeshua's teachings you don't even have to get them from "the bible." There are the apocrypha, dead sea scrolls and the Nag Hammadi library and there are some very interesting things in there.
When we aren't quite free of our ignorance or at least aware of it, we succumb to it. It's used to the advantage of a certain group in order to keep us clinging to dogma and ideology, especially those they created or appropriated for their own ends.
For the longest time I didn't look at Buddha because Nietzsche said Buddhism was weak, and looking at all the mundane hipsters who bandied cute Buddha quotes everywhere I could sorta see where he was coming from, but what Nietzsche was looking at was Buddhism through a poorly-translated Western lens, and not looking at the actual teachings of Buddha.
Later I read Evola's take on the teachings of Buddha as a non-esoteric warrior philosophy (The Doctrine of Awakening), and my life got flip turned upside down. There was something to Buddha's teachings after all.
My point is there are plenty of masters to choose from if you find one's teachings resonate with you more than others. It doesn't have to be Yeshua(Jesus) or Buddha, nor should it only be them.

Even common sense has more teachings in life.

Christian mysticism is uh, well, about as weird as Luciferianism (if you know that the bad guy is bad and will lose, why side with him?). Nowhere, I repeat, nowhere in the whole Bible, is mysticism endorsed. Rather, sorcery is condemned.
I've heard of a few guys who apparently think that "mysticism" is just visualizing things through a spiritual scope (somebody said that she sees the smoke of the incense rising up as prayers going to God), but that's just being spiritual/idealistic/romantic. True mysticism would at least (to me) involve something about Platonic Dualism, which is as unbiblical as it gets, because the Bible asserts that matter is not evil, and some form of contemplation. Ultimately, it's all self-seeking, self-pleasing, introverted, and generally incompatible with the pre-Hellenistic Jewish worldview, which is one of the foundations of our faith. That's why some of us hate Harry Potter books.

Recently I've been reading into the Cathars. They seem to line up with a lot of beliefs of people here. When you go through their purification ritual to escape the physical world on death and return to the spiritual world of the true god you're supposed to be celibate and vegetarian until death.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catharism
>The idea of two gods or principles, one being good the other evil, was central to Cathar beliefs. The good god was the God of the New Testament and the creator of the spiritual realm, as opposed to the bad god, whom many Cathars identified as Satan, creator of the physical world of the Old Testament. All visible matter, including the human body, was created by Satan; it was therefore tainted with sin. This was the antithesis to the monotheistic Catholic Church, whose fundamental principle was that there was only one God who created all things visible and invisible. Cathars thought human spirits were the genderless spirits of angels trapped within the physical creation of Satan, cursed to be reincarnated until the Cathar faithful achieved salvation through a ritual called the consolamentum.[9]Obviously they were persecuted.

"mysticism" is far more than just visualizing things through a spiritual scope. To put it into better terms, mysticism is receiving visuals (or other sensory input) to build the I AM's kingdom, which is peace, love, and righteousness, often accompanied by miracles, signs, and wonders.
Speaking from personal experiences, no sorcery was involved, only prayer and fasting each and every time I ministered healing with G-D, or spoke precognitively about events that later happened as I spoke about them in advanced.
>>Ultimately, it's all self-seeking, self-pleasing, introverted, and generally incompatible with the pre-Hellenistic Jewish worldview, which is one of the foundations of our faith. That depends on the hearts of those you've previously encountered. I only do what I see the Father doing. It's the only way the miracle happens. It's the only way that the prophecy will take place. If I were to build my kingdom, it would be finite, and short lived. However, when I position my heart to only build G-Ds kingdom, it always was and always will be eternal.
The hallmarks of that kingdom are healing the sick, casting out demons, and setting people free from bondage.

Let us go back to the first part of the story. The woman of Samaria is the three-dimensional you, and Jesus at the well is the fourth-dimensional you. The argument starts between what you want to be, and what reason tells you that you are. The greater you tells you that if you would dare assume you are already what you want to be, you would become it.
The lesser you, with its limited focus, tells you, "Why you haven't a bucket, you haven't a rope and the well is deep. How could you ever reach the depth of this state without the means to that end?"
You answer and say, "If you only knew who asks of you to drink you would ask of him." If you only knew what in yourself is urging upon you the embodiment of the state you now seek, you would suspend your little sight and let him do it for you.
Then he tells you that you have five husbands, and you deny it. But he knows far better than you that your five senses impregnate you morning, noon, and night with their limitations . They tell you what children you will bear tonight, tomorrow, and the days to come. For your five senses act like five husbands who constantly impregnate your consciousness, which is the great womb of GOD; and morning, noon, and night they suggest to you, and dictate to you that which you must accept as true.
He tells you the one you would like to have for your husband is not your husband. In other words the sixth has not yet impregnated you. What you would like to be is denied by these five, and they hold the power, they dictate what you will accept as true. What you would like to accept has not yet penetrated your mind and impregnated your mind with its reality. He whom you call husband is really not your husband. You are not bearing his likeness. To bear his likeness is proof that you are his wife, at least you have known him intimately. You are not bearing the likeness of the sixth; you are only bearing the likeness of the five.
Then one turns to me and tells me all that I have ever known. I go back in my mind's eye and reason tells me that all through my life I have always accepted the limitations of my senses, I have always looked upon them as fact; and morning, noon, and night I have born witness to this acceptance.
Reason tells me I have only known these five from the time I was born. Now I would like to step outside the limitation of my senses but I have not yet found within myself the courage to assume I am what these five would deny that I am. So here I remain, conscious of my task, but without the courage to step beyond the limitations of my senses, and that which my reason denies.
He tells these, "I have meat ye know not of. I am the bread that droppeth down from heaven. I am the wine." I know what I want to be, and because I am that bread I feast upon it. I assume that I am, and instead of feasting upon the fact that I am in this room talking to you and you are listening to me, and that I am in Los Angeles, I feast upon the fact that I am elsewhere and I walk here as though I were elsewhere. And gradually I become what I feast upon.
