Let Profound Women Outdo Jesus. EpilogueSome things are almost too strange to tell. But the Bible contains some of them all the same. First, man and women were made for paradisal union so well that God was pleased. Some garden trees have something paradisal about them too. Second, calling on the Lord came into being only long afterwards, after man and woman hade been driven out of Paradise and Cain had killed Abel [Genesis 4:26]. And what does this suggest? Nothing to some. However, "When God created man male and female, he made him in the likeness of God and blessed them." [Gen 5:1-2] It plainly says a woman is not to be ridiculed, for one thing, and calling on the Lord is something secondary in such a perspective. When someone says "Profound women outdo Jesus," ask for evidence. There are many sorts of evidence. First-hand evidence may be find, statistical evidence may be even better, and secondary sources may serve somewhat too. Bible sayings are secondary evidence at best, and that is what you get here. Ask, "How can a woman outdo Jesus?" One answer is, "She has the power to do so." The gospels contains clear statements that support that idea, such as: 1. She has it in her to make her man put right with God by having sex with him, says Paul. It means saving sex [1 Chorinthians 7:13-14]. 2. Jesus has empowered her to do greater deeds than he did, in the proper Spirit. [John 14:12] 3. Jesus also told such things as imply she should pray for things and they would be done, without limit. That is what "anything" means in some passages. "If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer." [Matthew 21:22]" - "If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, "Move from here to there" and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you." [Matthew 17:21] "Whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. [Mark 11:24]." Seeing is believing . . . Ask God to create a stone so big and heavy that he cannot lift it. Can he do it? Do you believe that? Wooly talk of faith may look good, but what happened after Jesus prayed to his Father one day, ""My Father, if it is not possible for this cup to be taken away unless I drink it, may your will be done. [Matthew 26:42]." Why didn't his Papa take two goats to do "do the trick", as instituted in the Law? and thereby and spare Jesus? You don't know that, do you? [Leviticus 16] Anything should be possible for the woman with much faith, for a praying woman (and man), and so on, Jesus well implied. Does all this mean that when the halting plea of Jesus went unanswered, a good woman's plea or prayer and saving sex will not? No, if she is called to outdo Jesus on his word [John 14:12] it should not mean that - and there you have it. ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ Now, this collection's first page goes into "liquour and women" as part of the best man can do, according to king Solomon and others - and Solomon is backed up by Jesus as the wisest there was. We have touched on the subject of Biblical saving sex, and that "Trusting too much to others is the ruin of many." There is good reason to assess that playful children can become good guys, they have it in them. Those who get half- hypnotised or indoctrinated, on the other hand, may seem more or less doomed to collective gloom already, for example in a cult. On the second page nudity, verse-making and yoga are briefly told of, and that you do not have to believe in a guru to practice yoga, on the word of Gautama Buddha. The third page mentions sex and death - and that King David committed adultery and had killed the husband of the wife he got to. And "Norwegian traditions" of drowning are briefly explained. You may come to wonder what King David and the Nixie have in common. Musicality is one main thing. Said killings is another. Page four goes briefly into "women and souls", and come up with some conformity gist from a writer, Sandemose. Gross conformity is not always a hindrance in the way of soul development, but there is reason to be truly oneself too, in between at least. You are informed that as a modern Christian you do not have to know one saying of Jesus, and still be taken to be a Christian, if you keep still about it and insist on the Gentile deal of Acts 15. It definitely holds that eating blood sausage and blood pudding is about as bad as adultery, and that is where matters stand. Since anyone who calls himself or herself is called to outdo Jesus, there is no need to become one of his martyrs either. Good to know. You are also let in on that I recommend proper conduct and wisdom and well adapted meditation for nearly anyone. Page five has as its hidden basis the fact that some - Christians and monks and others - get called to forgo the easy life, ignoring that they may do greater deeds than Jesus. For a follower the easy, pleasant life may be just the thing, and most who call themselves Christians go for it too. Therefore, do not get fooled by "topdog barking" and the like that wants you to renounce so that others can profit. Try to stand up for your rights, the ones you have. The sixth page covers some sides to "folly Yoga" of oddball worship and infantile "naughty baby crying for God Mom". It breaks with ground rules of proficient meditation, for one thing. You also get a glimpse into ancient Mother figures with exaggerated breasts and genitalia to compare with. Page seven goes into aging and how to combat biological aging neatly. It is done by Transcendental Meditation, TM, research shows. You should also go for healthy libido flows, for according to psychodynamic theory, your health depends on the zest (libido) outlets you have. The page also mentions some guru words that did not come to pass, despite the guru Yogananda's proselytic hailing of his guru as one whose words obliged the cosmos, and similar big words. To sect followers such tidings may be too terrible to tell. Page eight exposes further, strange Yogananda teachings. Why not check to what degree a cloister is a good place, before you are taken in about it and want to become one of Yogananda's monks? Page nine launches a little egg of Columbus in its way. The expression refers to a popular story: Columbus was dining with many Spanish nobles when one of them said: "Sir Christopher, even if your lordship had not discovered the Indies, there would have been, here in Spain . . . one who would have started a similar adventure with the same result." Columbus did not respond to these words but asked for a whole egg to be brought to him. He placed it on the table and said: "My lords, I will lay a wager with any of you that you are unable to make this egg stand on its end like I will do without any kind of help or aid." They all tried without success and when the egg returned to Columbus, he tapped it gently on the table breaking it slightly. And with this, the egg stood on its end. All those present were confounded and understood what he meant: that once the feat has been done, anyone knows how to do it. In this case the egg is a giant needle's eye, to allow rich people to pass easily into heaven on the word of Jesus. It is good to have back-up, isn't it? The second half of the page is about the New Age communities that Yogananda dictated. Page ten is about the kind of astrological bangles of gold, silver and copper that Yogananda made followers wear for "protection from the stars". On the eleventh page is presented all the evidence we have got that could be taken to mean Krishna is real. On page twelve some heavy bashing is found, but also tips on Kabbalah and Advaita Vedanta, along with Solomon's often repeated "Eat, drink and be merry". On the thirteenth page the US president Calvin Cooledge is introduced, the president that the imposing (encroaching?) Yogananda told, unasked for, how to eat and work! |
