      Selected Essays

      Yoga Meditation Philosophy Esoteric Mysticism

      Book III in the Series

      Lindsay Traynor

      The primary focus of this selection is the experience of Cosmic Consciousness.

      Seek the real instead of the apparent the base of All is One.

      Collated and Edited by the Author

      … and the Truth shall Make You Free

      I wish to make clear from the outset that I do not wish or expect anyone to believe a word I say; the imperative of realising Truth is based on personal endeavour – Truth is earned.

      I hope you all maintain your discriminating faculties and apply this principle to all – including theologians and other representatives of various religions, who would all expect that you believe them.

      Regarding the status of Jesus as a man, which offends many ‘Christians’ who maintain their belief in the supernatural as proof of divinity. I would respond that I too believe in the divinity of Jesus and Buddha and You.

      John 14:20 At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.

      Luke 17:21 Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.

      Matthew 24:25 Behold, I have told you before. 26 Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not.

      Pigs do not fly and neither do men though everyone is at liberty to try and verify fact.

      Belief in great men/Sages such as Jesus and Buddha should not be based on fantasy or the supernatural as these men set examples for all to follow. So I offer the following interpretation of the account of Jesus ‘levitating’ or walking on water.

      In philosophical and theological discourse turbulent waters are indicative of unruly emotions. The reader would note that Jesus ‘walked’ on turbulent stormy waters (not calm.) He admonished his disciples for being fearful and then invited Peter to join him on the water. Please note that Peter was chosen intentionally, and what characteristics did Peter have? Impetuousness, short temper, cowardice, fear, violence etc., in short, Peter was a slave to his unruly emotions – this is why he began to ‘sink.’ The message of the great teacher here is obvious. We must rise above the ‘turbulent waters’ of our emotions in order to free ourselves from the slavery of negative behaviour patterns and to become immune to the attempts of others who would use emotional tactics of fear and other negative aspects of the emotions to enslave us, so common in advertising and the political propaganda of today.

      Now, do you find the above interpretation useful and instructive, or would you prefer the Walt Disney version, which would not require you to improve yourself? The question is rhetorical as I am all too familiar with the current disposition of the enslaved, media nose-ringed, masses of today that expect to be provided for; improving oneself is almost beyond conception for these types.

      Now to the case of Magdalene, which quite a few puritanical hypocrites would view with disdain.

      I will say this to you prior to interpreting the casting out of ‘devils’ in order to make her 'acceptable' to Christ. Your views (whore) reveal much to the perceptive eye. Undoubtedly most of you are men; I empathise with your wives and children, I know you abuse them and you no doubt subscribe to the deplorable views (T.U.L.I.P) of Calvinism and the Evangelical political right. It would serve you well to remember Jesus stating, you will have your reward.

      Luke 8:2 ..Mary called Magdalene, out of whom went seven devils,

      Firstly, Jesus loved this woman above his other disciples – at least it appeared as such – why? In fact he loved all equally, but his behaviour with Magdalene was more intimate according to early Christian texts. Do you find this relationship unusual? He was a man and she a woman, a perfectly natural response, especially when we consider the torment she would have suffered at the hands of the compulsive-obsessive, door-knob-wiping values of Judaism at the time, which relegated her to outcast status. Jesus accepted her before he cast out her ‘devils.’ He saw her pain and torment and her (our) need for Love, which he offered her unconditionally without regard for the priest class or the opinion of the next-door neighbours.

      Now dear reader, what do
