Siddhartha's Catalytic Crisis

If the CLT is correct, Mark and the other Gospels are Buddhist texts translated directly into Greek with Old Testament passages.

I was saying earlier that crisis is a catalyst for critical action. Crises are where we make major changes and take major turns in our lives. The bigger the crisis, the bigger the adjustment. This is telling us something. Then I noticed Nebuchadnasser's relationship to the Season of Grace. He so emphatically believed that he deserved the world that God actually gave it--the whole world--to him. Do you see the connection? Nebuchadnasser believed without a crisis the way we believe with a crisis. If we can achieve the confidence and assurance Nebby had (that God has?), then the any part of the world may be given to us.

Below is a short story from Buddha's life where he fell into a crisis and made a major discovery and took a major turn in his life. THE turn. From here within days he became THE Buddha. By the way, have you ever wondered how he and his associates had the desire to become buddhas before he ever became a buddha? What was their model? Noah. The mental state of Noah is buddha. That mental state is what all of this is about. The way to Noah, of course, is through the Antediluvian Patriarchs, who were not people but preparatory states which lead up to the state of Noah, as I have written.

"Siddhartha and a group of five companions led by Kaundinya are then said to have set out to take their austerities even further. They tried to find enlightenment through deprivation of worldly goods, including food, practising self-mortification. After nearly starving himself to death by restricting his food intake to around a leaf or nut per day, he collapsed in a river while bathing and almost drowned. A village girl named Sujata gave him some madhupayasa (a rice pudding now also known as kheer) after which Siddhartha got back some energy. Siddhartha began to reconsider his path. Then, he remembered a moment in childhood in which he had been watching his father start the season's ploughing. He attained a concentrated and focused state that was blissful and refreshing, the jhāna."

Siddhartha was in a crisis, but safe with his rice pudding, and perceived through it all effortlessly the blissful state he desired. A kind of odd package deal. Then he waited until it--the understanding--came to him.

Christianity is refined Buddhism and refined Judaism. Mark saw their core connection and synthesized them per the Theraputtic and therapeutic point of view, returning Judaism to its Buddhist heart. Christianity has nothing to do with believing in some man who walked in Israel two thousand years ago. It has to do with BEING the anointed, a Christ, THE Christ. Being called a Christian was not a purgative but an acclamation. These were people who were healing, casting out demons, raising the dead. They turned the worldviews of the people upside down: this is not a physical based world, but a consciousness, and God's Consciousness is the only reality.

"Christians" were awakened ones, buddhas. Buddhahood is not that unreachable, but it takes more than believing that a God separate from us was born as a man and died in our stead, and that we can be joined to him by faith and his forgiveness. Not that that is not a good start. It goes on into eliminating the separations and divisions between Him and us, to achieving the realization that He is become us and that we are Him. And learning to think as he thinks and do as he does and believe as he believes--to be awake and aware of BEING Him doing as we are doing. For all the Godhood is one . . . in Buddhahood.
