#intimate christ

[chicagognosis]

The Master Jesus, more than just embodying a figure to worship or to follow, represents something very deep within our consciousness. This is why in our Gnostic studies we explain the physical personages of the past, from diverse religious traditions, came to represent principles. They lived in their flesh and bone a state of being that we need to cultivate. Therefore, Christ as the human individual represents in us the principle of the inner Christ, our inner divinity, that light which can shine within the depths of our very heart, to illumine the mistakes of our past and the state of our suffering.

Our focus today is to learn how to develop that principle in us, to understand what it means psychologically, and to know how to apply methods to develop greater insight in our daily life, especially in terms of how we approach problems, how we cultivate virtue, and also how we conquer vice.

We will learn how to awaken, develop, sustain, and expand the intelligence of the heart, the wisdom of the heart, the ability to understand, very deeply, how to negotiate and navigate the great crises that are afflicting our contemporary humanity.

We will also learn that the heart must learn to balance the mind if what we really seek is genuine peace.

hey guys, if you ever think about looking at porn or checking out other women and girls, this is what’s happening behind the scenes. Those poor girls and women are more than just bodies. Matthew 5:28. Also, check my older posts or see below on how to combat lust! Let me know if you need anything! God loves you and I love you! God bless!

This is coming from a formerly bi person (19 M when I write this)

How to combat lust: Triggers

“Trace it, face it, erase it, replace it.”

TRACE the triggers, FACE it with God’s help (you can’t do it on your own. Trust me), ERASE all triggers, and REPLACE it (put a different activity in its place. Remember how the house was cleaned, but then seven more demons showed up and trashed the place? Luke 11:26)

The fact that you’re trying is good. After all, “For the righteous man falls seven times and rises again.” (Prov 24:16)

“Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled.” Matthew 5:6

“Where is God when I need Him?”

How temptation really works

Make sure to cleanse your mind. Don’t think about certain things, don’t check out girls (Or check out guys, if you’re a girl). Keep your eyes on their faces. Even then, just straight up don’t look at them if it’s possible.

Watch out for the music you listen to (dirty words. That is a trigger. Trust me. I know.) 

Try some ACTUALLY GOOD Christian music (see below)

Check these out for 

Metal: some skillet, theocracy, divinefire, golden resurrection, REFORMED

Rock: dcTalk, red, skillet, ashes remain, old Tobymac, Kevin max (from dcTalk), thousand foot krutch, jars of clay, switchfoot

Also, watch out for The shows, memes, etc. you watch. Those are triggers as well. (Dirty jokes and whatnot)

Get the correct amount of sleep. Your hormones will be thrown off.

Don’t look at men or women in a certain way. 

In the words of Stan Lee, “that man sitting next to you, that’s your brother. That woman sitting over there-that’s your sister.”

Besides, some of those people are taken. How would you like it if someone gave your boyfriend/husband or girlfriend/wife a certain look? 

Also, the people you see in those videos are people who are being trafficked and rap3d. It’s NOT what you think it is. Imagine if that happened to your girlfriend, wife, sister, friend, mother, grandmother, aunt, etc. them begging for their life inside while ACTING as if it’s okay? They’re called “ACTORS” for a reason.

My friend, don’t do this. These men and women are just trying to get by. They don’t need anyone looking at them in a certain way. They just want to be loved, Not lusted after. Not looked at and used like a s3x toy and put away when not needed. They might be low on money, they could have been traumatized, they could be su!cidal, they could be selling their bodies unwillingly so they can get cash. Please. You don’t know what theyre going through. 

protect and look after everyone as if they were your children. Care for them as you would your own spouse or closest/only friend. Love and look at them as if you had one hour left to be with them.

Ayo, i don’t mean to force anything on anyone, but we have various types of evidence for biblical events, if anyone is interested. I also found ways to combat lust, if anyone is interested. (I’m talking archaeological evidence, miracles caught live, arguments against evolution, divine revelation, science, cosmology, fulfilled prophecy, evidence for the Bible outside of the Bible, God’s work in people’s lives, etc.)

Watching Minnesotan republicans hold ticketed events and phone in town halls so they can control who gets to be a part of the events, accepting mainly the elderly and charging per a plate at some events then closing the doors with the expectation that they would be able to claim that they had something like a town hall without incident

And then they're all surprised when each and every one of these shitty events turns out bad for them.

Like, I've served the friday night fish fries. I've sold pie slices during the county fairs. I've done penance walking out the breakfast bakes during the lutheran ladies eastern bruncheons. Obviously these republicans have not because you do not LOCK YOURSELF IN A ROOM WITH MIDWESTERN ELDERLY AND GIVE THEM FOOD. YOU DO NOT HANG UP ON THEM WHEN THEY ASK QUESTIONS, BECAUSE THEY WILL CALL BACK. AGAIN AND AGAIN-- AND EVENTUALLY SHOW UP.

HOW. STUPID. ARE. THESE. PEOPLE?

Ever since the very first time I read Still in Dark, the detail of Zayne being covered in scars from fighting wanderers/abominations has sat so heavy on my heart. Because you know that poor man hasn't been getting any professional medical help. Much like Xavier, he's just riding those injuries out, only unlike Xav, he's not blessed with a body that heals itself with relative ease.

This particular 'moment' is from a fic I'm still formatting in my head, that will hopefully see the light of day soon. His expression is a reflection of your own when you realize just how much he's been through. Our poor little meow meow 😩

My desire to bring this man into my arms and shield him from everything overwhelms me sometimes, and today I sat consumed with the desire to do just that, so instead of doing all my other obligations I did... this. Lol.

Mastery is not the end of spiritual development, for while an individual can acquire, cultivate, and express their soul in this physical world, such a laudable achievement does not signify perfection in mastery. While many masters exist in Nirvana, heaven, or bliss, few are willing to renounce their happiness, return to this physical world, and guide humanity out of suffering. However, this is the essential requirement for incarnating Christ, the divine forces of boundless, enlightened compassion represented in many religions. Discover superior stages of initiation symbolized by Christ’s mystical life in the Gospels, or how a developed human being enters a true inner revolution against their own psychological defects, thereby performing a tremendous humanitarian mission.

Y’ever go so nuts over a fic it’s literally all you can think about

You need to shut up you fucking gay faggot. Fuck god, fuck Jesus. Fuck you in general. Stay the fuck off the posts because they will not listen to you. Rot in hell because your God does not love gay or bi sexual people. He created man and woman. Not man and man or woman and woman. Anybody who identifies as gay or bi will not go into heaven. They will go to the fire pits of hell. That's where you are going when you die. not heaven. We are here to cause sins and have sex with each other and there is nothing you can do to stop us. We are all stronger than your weak ass. So again fuck you

God loves us all. But is He pleased with us?

look at it this way: your love your spouse or friend, but he or she hurts you in some way. The love is still there, but are you happy with that person? Probably not. But you’re willing to reconcile, aren’t you? That’s exactly how God works. That’s what marriage is about—a reflection of the relationship between God and man. Intimate, deep, nothing hidden.

It's one thing to be TEMPTED, another to ACT.

Lots of people have actually thanked me for calling them out. And I’m not trying to put anyone down. I don’t want you to suffer as I have. You are going down the same road I have and I want you to be better than me. We’re here to love God and love people. Not have sex. To serve others and bring them to God. That’s all, my friend. Be better than me. I know you can.

“you wanna know what’s on the other side? Ask someone who’s coming back.” So ask me and many others who are willing to kill themselves over their past mistakes.

“a wise man learns from his mistakes. A smart man from others’ mistakes.”

you curse me, I will bless you. I love you, sir. More than you know. I’d die for you in a heartbeat. But I guess no dying is coming for now, so… just take my advice, pretty please

The Nativity is a cosmic event of tremendous import, not merely in terms of literal history, but psychological and spiritual development. It reveals a universal phenomenon: how a properly prepared individual can give birth to and realize their own divine being upon the initiatic path, thereby providing profound benefit to humanity. Discover the hidden symbolism behind Christmas: Santa and his reindeer, kissing under the mistletoe, the Christmas tree, the Three Magi, the Immaculate Conception, gift-giving, and more.
