Essay 39 - 2024. The New Christian Church is a Spiritual Consciousness.

Feel Good in Church. Feel Lost and Empty When You Are Home.

By: Mr. George D. Patnoe!

September 28, 2024.

“CHURCH. The structure of Truth and Love; whatever rests upon and proceeds from divine Principle. The Church is that institution, which affords proof of its utility and is found elevating the race, rousing the dormant understanding from material beliefs to the apprehension of spiritual ideas and the demonstration of divine Science, thereby casting out devils, or error, and healing the sick.” (S&H. Pg. 583. 12-19.)

When you enter a church, you feel good. When you go home, you feel empty. What is up with that?

At least for some of my dear readers.

You know you are. I don’t need to know who you are because I know that you exist.

Why do I know you exist?

Because when I was a boy, whenever I entered a Catholic church or any other church when I was older, I felt good going there, and sometimes I felt good as I left the church. But eventually, that good feeling left me because I was away from the wood, stone, or brick church.

Something just didn’t make sense to me because if you knew something about God, Jesus, the Bible, the afterlife, and the supernatural, you should at least feel better if that feeling was more confusing than ever before in your life.

It is because whenever most of you emotional religious Christians go to church for your religious moral support, you believe in religious beliefs based on your emotions and not on your rational, logical, and intelligent thought.

This leads to voting with your emotions too because God forbid that you use really rational, logical, and intelligent thought to decide on who should be president of the United States of America.

Many Americans do not realize that a very big job of being the president of the United States of America is being the Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces. That is a very big job. Harris is a moron who should not be Commander in Chief for the Armed Forces of America because she cannot even solve the nation’s teeny, tiny problems and issues.

Trump sees the bigger, global, and international picture. Harris does not see it, nor does she care.

Enough of that political analysis from me at the moment.

But when that concept is applied to religion, it is the same. Most religious Christians do not see the bigger picture of the Bible, Christianity, Jesus, and even the afterlife. They see only bits and pieces with their emotional states of mind, hoping, dreaming, wishing, and believing in mentally delusional religious concepts that are not real, nor based on reality.

I am betting 99.9% of religious Christians around the globe take into consideration neither their human biological consciousness nor their mentally delusional religious consciousness which is based on 2000-year-old and ever much longer, humanly created religious beliefs about God, which were needed during the time of pagan worship.

But believe it or not, there is still pagan worship happening today. It is just not the pagan worship of melting down brass carving wood statues of animals or figures or even worshipping the sun. Instead, people worship other stuff: like sex, money, cars and trucks, sports players, guns and rifles, porn, movies, and other material stuff. Some people who are alive today even worship the material and physical sciences because the material sciences have led to knowledge, understanding, intelligence, and information about the material and physical life on planet Earth and the cosmic universe above the realm of the human brain’s normal range of sight.

Again, there is nothing wrong with normal sex, earning money, having a car and truck, playing and watching sports, and owning guns and rifles for the correct reasons. Or watching movies and studying all of the physical and material sciences. That needs to be done because the material and physical sciences have helped create a better mankind, but it has also damaged the planet in many ways.

In any case, religions and religious Christians who only possess a very limited and finite materialized state of a biological consciousness will never begin to understand, comprehend, and be conscious of higher levels of metaphysical and spiritual states of consciousness.

Even in the human realm of existence, it can be truthfully stated that what makes up a human being is not their limited biological body of skin, bones, blood, organs, or sex organs because all of those elements of the human and animal biological human body are the same for everyone, more or less.

What matters even in the human realm of existence is what an individual human being possesses as their consciousness even has their human identity. A highly educated intellectual human being possesses a completely different state of consciousness compared to an uneducated teenage pothead or a convicted ex-convict who cannot read or write about modern-day issues, or global, or international issues, problems, and events regarding political thought, religious thought, economic thought, etc.

The human consciousness of an astrophysicist who understands the realm of the cosmic space-time dimension possesses a different state of consciousness regarding space-time compared to an uneducated teenage pothead or a convicted ex-con whose only concept of time is when will he get out of prison, or how much time until he returns to prison.

A person who is stuck inside a steel bar prison cell is not going to possess the same consciousness regarding the cosmic space-time realm as a different person who is looking through a very high powerful telescope at night long for years on end after attaining a Ph.D. in astrophysics and chemistry.

A simple minded, emotional religious person who simply attains a church once a week and repeats a bunch of religious words, no matter what religion it is, is not going to possess the same consciousness as the convict who is stuck inside a prison steel bar cell, or the astrophysics who is looking through a very high powerful telescope all night long for years on end.

Those are three different states of human consciousness even though they all have to eat food, drink liquids, watch the nightly news, and wonder if a nuclear war is going to destroy the human species in a matter of nanoseconds, which is probably not long enough for it to happen because the speed of subatomic particles travels so fast that nanoseconds don’t even measure it.

There is one thing nobody can escape, and that is your state of individual consciousness. Even if you are personally are living inside a prison cell, living inside a religious church, or are on a mountain to peering through a tiny hole to view the whole cosmic universe, if you still believe independently that you a one-dimensional biological human body as a state of your human consciousness, then you are still stuck inside your human body like a criminal who is stuck inside a prison cage, except your cage is made of out skin, bones, blood, and a brain.

On the other hand, if you start to rise out of your biological prison, cage, or body by possessing a multi-dimensional state of spiritual and intellectual consciousness, you and the whole human species will slowly but surely begin to help the advancement into a higher state of human civilization and consciousness.

From all sense of observations, it seems by the evidence of the human eye and brain, everyone will escape their personal biological human body, although that may or may not be true depending on what happens to you as a human biological body, brain, and mind while you live on planet Earth and when you enter your afterlife depending what happens to you at that moment.

A lot of people think that their biological human body is their church because some people love their biological human body.

They love their biological body beyond measure. The men love their muscles. The ladies love their blond, natural or fake blond hair.

Some people worship their human biological body too. They work out with weights to make their muscles very nice looking, which is all well and good. I exercise too, almost every day.

Have you ever seen those types of people? You have seen people who don’t exercise at all.

Other people just accept their biological body because that is the biological human body that they were born with. All over the globe, people are born into the world with a biological body.

Other people do not like their biological bodies at all for lots of reasons. It does not look as perfect as other people’s bodies. It gets worn down. It gets sick or does not feel good. It is a lot of work to take of especially when you get older and when you have to drive it to a hospital or doctor for help. It costs money to take care of your biological human body. Then it turns to dust.

Or so it seems.

During cold days the body is cold. The next day the body is hot. One day the body needs a new set of clothes or shoes or a hat to be worn because you have lost your hair, or you just like to wear hats because hats protect your head from the sun’s rays, the rain, the snow, or they simply look good, like making a fashion statement or letting people know that you take pride in how you look.

Then there is all of the beauty, skin, and hair products that you need for your human biological body. You need shampoo, toothpaste, soap, towels, shaving cream and shaver, nail clippers, and different sets of matching bras and panties if you are female.

A lot of people really enjoy taking care of their human body too. They look in the mirror and they think to themselves, ‘Oh boy, look at me. Don’t I look like a beauty today? Everyone is going to look at me and think to themselves, ‘That is a good-looking gal. I wish I could date her just to impress Mom and Dad.’

The teeth need to be taken care of because people like to eat and drink foods and drinks that are bad for the teeth. That led to teeth being pulled and replaced with fake teeth. Have you ever seen people with the whitest fake teeth in the world? Better than stained teeth, like my teeth.

Sometimes I wonder to myself when I see the whitest fake teeth in the world that their teeth look better than they do. But this ok since teeth are white anyway. I just hope that people do not start coloring their teeth differently. Besides gold and silver, can you imagine red and blue teeth?

How people practice the same Christian religion in different ways just to be a little different than the other religious Christian believers who attend different types of churches.

A suit is good for very formal occasions. Sneakers are good for running, walking, or just trying to impress your teenage buddies that you have money when you are indeed probably broke.

Then there is the swimming and beach wear too. Although many females like showing off their butts by wearing a tiny string bathing suit that covers up the one patch or part of their bodies where babies popped out after nine months of carrying a living baby inside their gut for about nine months, all good-looking female butts look the same. A bunch of curvy butt muscles.

A lot of males have hanging guts, but it is not because they have a baby inside their gut. It is because they don’t care if they look like they are carrying a human baby. And because they don’t eat correctly, nor do they exercise enough to look like well-built male bodies that look good whenever they look in the bathroom mirror or when they are seen by the male or female species on the beach.

Sometimes medical students have to play around and experiment on dead bodies which probably feel like hard cold rubber. At first, they probably do not like touching a dead human body, even if they are wearing rubber gloves and they are using knives and other tools to cut open a dead human body so they can learn about the human biological body.

On YouTube, sometimes a YouTube short will pop up with a guy in a white lab coat and he is handling a dead heart, or a brain, or some other part of the human body. Is that all we are as human beings? No, it is not. More importantly, consciousness is more important, beyond measure.

Once, I was sitting at a table in a student union with the vice president of the university, along with a very smart lady. Somehow, the topic came up and he stated to me, “What is more important is not the outside of the body, like what you look like, but what is happening inside the human biological body.”

Dead stop. He stood up and left the table. He had business to attend to.

As I stood up to exit the table, I realized that I knew a lot of other stuff, like the Bible, economics, the cosmic universe, and even a little bit about quantum physics, but I did not know a lot about my human body compared to a real doctor who attained many years of higher education to become a doctor.

That statement has been stuck in my mind for some reason for decades. Maybe because I don’t know a lot about the inside of the human biological body like I do about other topics. Sure, I know that there is a brain, heart, blood, muscles, liver, lungs, etc. But all of those organs are very complex in their way. Even medical experts spend a lot of time studying them, which is the reason for so many specialties in the medical field.

I am happy that my human biological body is working fine at the moment. As many of my readers know, I was dying from stage 4 CLL cancer in January 2022. I am still taking chemo-pills for it now. I am guessing the cancer cells are mostly gone now even though I am still taking chemo for it.

I was also dying from Type 2 diabetes in 2019 because somehow, (don’t ask me) I lost all of the body muscle I once had when I was younger. Having and using muscle is very important because it takes sugar (glucose) out of the bloodstream.

My sugar level was 600 and my A1C was 14. The normal numbers are supposed to be around 70-100 and the A1C are supposed to be around, “A1C results. The following ranges are used to diagnose prediabetes and diabetes: Normal: below 5.7% Prediabetes: 5.7% to 6.4% Diabetes: 6.5% or above. (Taken off the web.)

I was told that I was going into a diabetic coma and would die at any second. As you can well guess by now, my dear readers, it looks like I seem to be an immortal idea or image in the Mind of God, Spirit.

I had already guessed I was dying, even though I had no idea what was happening when I entered the emergency room. After many tests, the ER nurse ran into my room in the ER and yelled at me, ‘You are diabetic!’

I was thinking to myself, ‘I have already guessed that young lady. The question was why.’ I had to discover what was the main problem besides my pancreas not working completely.

Before I entered the hospital’s ER department, I felt like a walking ghost. But that was nothing new to me since I have felt like a walking ghost on many occasions dying during my life; now more than ever before, after my rather long very dark mental and psychological experiences with stage 4 CLL cancer, dying, death, and returning to life again.

What type of biological and psychological darkness you may be wondering about? When you are taking so many powerful drugs to stay alive, your brain and human mind is not working at all. The only part of me that existed was the spiritual part of me that wasn’t putting up with the limited mortal suggestion that I was dying from stage 4 CLL cancer.

Taking the chemo drug during that experience for CLL cancer and other drugs for full-blown shingles when the doctors told me that I could lose an eye or both of them, I was a walking zombie. It was during this moment in my life when the teeny, tiny, nothing town’s violent teenagers were always trying to pick a fight with me because they thought that they were badass picking on a dying walking zombie.

But oh no! The dying walking zombie returned to life again and now those violent teenagers have realized that trying to pick a fight with a dying walking zombie was a dumb thing to do because I am not a dying walking zombie anymore.

And the once-dying walking zombie has a very long memory with new bones and muscles, and a better brain and human mind too.

I have expounded my experience a bit too much for this essay. But people who love to eat junk food and sugary foods should realize that their mental love for sugar and the taste of sugar is very bad for them. But it can be overcome with knowledge and information, a change in food habits, and exercise.

Now, my brain and body reject eating a lot of sugary foods.’

I like to use the phrase, ‘Simple, easy, slow, and careful exercises,’ especially for beginners.

People who do not exercise their body’s muscles should realize that they are slowly killing themselves with their very bad bodily habits when they could have longer and healthier human lives.

That university vice president and professor was correct. You may look in that bathroom mirror and think to yourselves that you have the most beautiful body in the world until the inside of that very beautiful body becomes a huge life-and-death problem that could end your earthly life.

“What is the simple definition of pancreas?

A glandular organ located in the abdomen. It makes pancreatic juices, which contain enzymes that aid in digestion, and it produces several hormones, including insulin. The pancreas is surrounded by the stomach, intestines, and other organs.” (Taken off the web.)

Americans love sugar and not exercising their muscles to get rid of that sugar out of their bloodstream is not good, neither for the human biological body, the bank accounts, nor for living because dying and death are always around the corner during your human life. That is not a very good mixture for a healthy human biological body.

Maybe I just did not exercise my upper body like I did my legs because used them more when I walked, jogged, hiked and mountain biked mountains, etc. Now, I lift weights, and my muscles are working and looking like a boxing champion.

Somehow, cancer researchers have developed a chemo-pill for my specific cancer condition after decades and lifetimes of dedicated research and development to help people overcome cancer. I don’t know how my cancer doctors her job having to deal with cancer patients all day long.

The different state of consciousness between her and the lifelong violent criminal convict is so huge as to be compared to the sun and the moon. The sun brings life to planet Earth, while the moon only partly reflects some of the sunlight, heat, and energy.

I never worshiped my human biological body. It was never that good-looking guy. Although it is not bad looking, like some of the toothpick bodies I have seen during my lifetime. I have seen druggies and poor people who cannot afford food to be so thin that one hit with a punch or kick would simply and quickly break their bones into two parts instead of one.

For example, ballet bodies are really thin, but they are also very strong as to be able to stand on their toes, dancing and prancing on stage in front of people who are watching those ballet dancers move and dance on stage, unlike other people who could never do such dancing and prancing on their toes onstage in front of viewers.

I bet that when people of all sorts around the globe see a dead human body they wonder if the real purpose and objective of living is all there is at the end of your life.

I think that many religious people like to worship the human body of Jesus too, at least in some regard, because they falsely think and believe that Jesus’s human biological body was God in the flesh.

But of course, they are completely wrong because they are thinking and reasoning on a one-dimensional biological level of existence and consciousness.

Do you think Jesus worshiped his human biological body?

Heck no. Jesus overcame the human and mortal belief that he was only a single one-dimensional biological body very early in his human career and life.

If any of those supernatural or metaphysical stories and examples are too, then Jesus overcame his limited human biological body instead of worshiping it.

He stated, “Take this temple and destroy it and I will raise it up again in three days.”

Jesus answered them, “Destroy this temple, and I will raise it again in three days.” New International Version. (John 2:19.)

What about Paul? What do you think Paul stated about the biological body in general and specifically? Look it up. Both Jesus and Paul stated flesh, and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, Spirit, in their way.

The human man named Jesus did not worship his biological body at all. He and others have stated metaphysical and spiritual phrases about the war and battle between the flesh and the spirit, meaning the war and battle between the loving and worshipping the human body where the spirit of life seems to reside in compared to the spiritual realm where the spirit of Life, Truth, Love, resides everything throughout space and time as spiritual laws and consciousness.

Instead of worshiping the human biological body, some people like to worship their sense of God in a wooden or stone church. A good guess might indicate that these sorts of religious people do not worship their human biological bodies like those good-looking people because they like to worship their sense of God instead of the human body.

Feel Good in Church. Feel Lost and Empty When You Are Home.

What is up with that notion?

Religious people wait all week for their one hour in one day to go to and visit a Christian Church so that they can feel closer to God, or their materially humanized concept of God instead of worshiping the God that is Spirit instead of matter, or in this case the biological body and the material church.

Don’t they feel like they are missing something, something very important?

If religious Christians feel only good when they enter a material wooden, stone, or brick church, and then they feel like they are missing something very important because they feel empty, not really spiritually satisfied, then; what could that missing something be?

Could it be that they are worshiping the body of Jesus and also worshiping the wooden, stone, or brick church instead of worshiping God, Spirit? ... ‘in Spirit and truth.’

People like to fool themselves all of the time.

Some people like to fool themselves that they are in love with another person, although it can be true that people fall in love with each other and spend a lifetime together, until of course things get really rough in life and someone or both of them calls it quits.

Some people fool themselves that they are the most beautiful people in the world. Some people like to think that they are very important when if fact when they are dead no one will miss them.

Some people, actually a lot of billions of people like to think that they know something about Jesus, God, evil, the afterlife, when in fact they know almost nothing about Jesus, God, evil, and the afterlife because their consciousness is so limited and stuck in a wrong mental framework that they miss out on the very important issues and topics they wrongly think they know something about.

Just look at physicists, astrophysicists, and cosmologists. Some, if not most of them, think that they are studying the ultimate realms of reality, namely the cosmic universe because the external or objective cosmic universe is out there, away from the people world, the earthly world, and even from the universe of the human consciousness.

How in the world can religious people and material and physical scientists believe anything is true if they do not take into consideration the internal, subjective, and invisible mental world of the human consciousness?

Do those physicists, astrophysicists, and cosmologists feel empty when they leave their mental realm of the cosmic universe like those religionists, of any religion but specifically of the Christian religion because many religious Christians love to attend their local churches?

Many religious Christians love to attend their buildings called churches just like those astrophysicists and cosmologists love to look through their telescopes. Religions think they know something about God, Jesus, evil, and the afterlife.

Astrophysicists and cosmologists love to believe that they think they know something about reality as our cosmic universe.

The so-called religious Christians think that God created the cosmic universe while the astrophysicists and cosmologists do not even consider any type of God that created the cosmic universe.

These are two different types of states of human consciousness, although of course, not the whole of human consciousness.

In a huge general way, those two different states of human consciousness are needed at this moment in human history because people don’t know any better, even the so-called educated people.

Yes, there sure seems to be an external, objective cosmic universe of space-time, light waves, galaxies, and even the Big Bang that appears to be our sense of reality every time we look upward at the blue or dark sky.

Yes, people go to church, and they feel a little better or worse depending on each human being. I bet a lot of people go to a religious Christian church and then they go home feeling nothing except more confused about their own personal existence and their place in the cosmic universe as human creatures with brains on planet Earth.

Jesus knew his place on Earth and in the cosmic universe because Jesus realized that his consciousness was more important than both a material building or place for worship and the cosmic universe of the sun, moon, and stars, in which Earth and all of its inhabitants are living.

You may think to yourselves my dear readers, ‘How did I arrive at that conclusion since you have never met the human man named Jesus?’

First, going to a material church to worship a materially humanized God is a state of consciousness.

Second, looking through a highly powerful telescope to discover the ultimate state of reality is also a state of human consciousness.

Third, the human consciousness specifically and generally is separate from both any materially humanized sense of God and also from the cosmic universe even if it believes in a false material humanized mental concept of God.

The human consciousness is by itself an entity or state of existence that is currently more important than any material church building or telescope.

The religious church is out there, separated from the human consciousness.

The material cosmic universe is out there, separated from any human consciousness.

The human consciousness believes in its delusional religious notion of what God and Jesus are, just like it believes that the only possibility of the cosmic universe is the most important place to find the ultimate state of reality.

But if the ultimate state of reality is not in a religious church or the cosmic universe, where is it? You might ask yourselves.

Rising higher into states of higher realms of consciousness, the ultimate state of consciousness is spiritual, metaphysically that is, especially when it comes to issues and problems of life and death.

If the ultimate state of existence and consciousness is God, Spirit, and this ultimate state of God, Spirit cannot be seen with the human eyes which cannot be seen inside any religious Christain or any religious church, then the ultimate church is completely spiritual.

And the ultimate universe is spiritual, not the cosmic universe.

But how do I know this so I can write it you may be asking yourselves?

I have entered many different religious Christian churches throughout my life, and I have not only studied the cosmic universe myself, as well as looking through my telescopes, but I have experienced the pure realm of spiritual consciousness when I was going back and forth and ‘up there’ and back down again’ during my dying stage 4 experience.

But long before I experienced a purely spiritual realm of consciousness, I had been studying, researching, thinking about, pondering, and experiencing all sorts of ‘supernatural experiences.’

I am sure that many other people, even the uneducated simple-minded people have experienced different abnormal or immaterial and even supernatural psychological experiences within their consciousness even if it was not like my supernatural psychological experiences.

The point here is that everything happens within the human consciousness. Where else is going to happen my dear readers? Is it going to happen in a material wood, stone, or brick church?

Nope!

Is it going to happen up there far away in the cosmic universe?

Nope!

Is it going to happen to your biological human body?

Nope! At least not for most of you until the moment you die, meaning when you stop breathing air or oxygen.

My human biological body has survived all sorts of suggestions called death, way too many to name all of them here. I could but that is not the point for this essay.

From the moment we are all born into this world of a human biological body, into this space-time world, into this cosmic universe with a sun, moon, planets, and galaxies, we all seem to be stuck in it.

Isn’t that true for all of you?

Don’t you all feel like you are stuck in this world? Or to put it more directly, stuck inside your human biological body. You all look in the bathroom mirror and you think to yourself that that is you. You think to yourself, ‘It is me.’

Really?

Is that all you are as a human being as your main core identity?

And your consciousness is secondly, like something that is hidden away inside your human brain waiting to get out and explore the unseen worlds and universes that exist right where you stand now, at this very moment of your human life.

I don’t know about all of the people who read my essays, but I am sure not the same person since I was born into this world. Heck, I am not the same person since my stage 4 cancer CLL experience in 2022, during my near-death, and dying experience only to find myself returning to this plane of existence once again to write these essays for anyone around the world to read.

When I stand on my front porch and I look out into the clear blue sky, or the dark void of the night sky, when I feel the wind on my skin, when I see flying birds playing their magical flights through the air, when I feed some feral cats, when I see my enemies who hate my guts because they are living on such a low life scale of human existence, when I drink a cup of coffee one time, when, well, you get the idea.

Even human life is different within a person’s consciousness when you have died as many times as I have in so many different ways. And it is all happening within my consciousness. It is not happening within a church I might attend just for fun. It is not happening up there in the cosmic realm of space-time.

I am reading a very interesting book titled, “God’s Equation. Einstein, Relativity, and the Expanding Universe. By: Amir. D. Aczel.

It is a book about how mathematics was developed before and after Albert Einstein. I am only halfway finished, so I don’t know how it will end, although I have relearned a few abstract mathematical concepts that force my human brain, mind, and consciousness to escape this plane of existence to imagine higher and different realms of space-time. I am guessing that it is not normal for less intelligent human beings to do that mental exercise. They better not try it. It might hurt.

Sometimes, when I am standing on my front porch at night, I can feel like my whole human and cosmic consciousness can feel the whole Earth moving around in space-time around the sun just as easy as I can feel a moving car or truck or airplane when I flew them on a Sunday afternoon.

Sometimes when I look into the vastness of space-time I can imagine that somewhere far away other creatures are looking at us, also realizing that they will never get to visit us unless they can leave their biological bodies by astral projection for a quick visit to Earth.

Since I have left my human hardwired brain to skip out of this earthly realm to pop into the realm of space-time to look down at a whole galaxy in one view, I have often wondered if I could do it again and visit another planet and another species.

Of course, that might not be such a good idea because maybe I would not get to return to Earth. In which case, I would be a dead human being instead of a living human being, on planet Earth that is. (LOL)

Back to the main point.

People who do not think in terms of their consciousness being important are those human beings who live only within a one-dimensional biological realm of existence and consciousness.

People who have expanded their mental models or states of consciousness in one way or another way have experienced all sorts of supernatural experiences, which are in many forms.

That being stated, even people, young people especially, also experience supernatural events.

Do all of your so-called religious Christians think that Jesus had ‘supernatural experiences’ when he was on planet Earth? Or not.

The Bible states that he not only experienced supernatural experiences, but it performed them as well. Did those events happen because he was God in the flesh?

Or did they happen because he possessed the spiritual Christ Consciousness of God, Spirit?

There are a few things Jesus knew, even as a Jew. He knew that true worship did not happen inside a temple or a church.

Jesus knew that the real worship happened within each individual state of human consciousness.

People have that decision to make, whether to worship inside a wooden, stone, or brick church or building. Those days are basically over for any true religious person.

Or to worship within your true spiritual consciousness which can only happen with a multi-dimensional state of consciousness while living as a human being on planet Earth.

If each human being out of the 7-8 human beings started to worship that way, it would change the world and the human species to ascend above being a purely one-dimensional biological creature to a new state of a biological human species with a spiritual consciousness.

Then, all human evil including war would be no more!

When you obtain a true spiritual Christ Consciousness, you don't feel lost and empty anywhere, including at home.

Essay 38 - 2024. Christianity and Consciousness.

Christianity and A Spiritual Religious Consciousness Based on God, Spirit.

By: Mr. George D. Patnoe!

September 20, 2024.

Christianity and a real religious consciousness.

The religion of Christianity and the human consciousness.

How are they related or not related?

Jesus stated that. "The kingdom of God, Spirit is within you.” (Luke 12:17)

How is consciousness related to the religion Christianity you may be asking yourselves?

Consciousness is related to everything that happens in your life and within the life of the human species.

Consciousness is also where any type of religious belief and practice takes place.

Human consciousness is that part of the hardwired human brain and the soft-wired human mind hidden from the world, because it is the unseen entity that makes up who we are as human beings, but it also makes up how we live their either simple or complex religious experiences.

When consciousness is applied to the Christian religion and all of the different religions around the globe, different people are conscious of their religious beliefs whether they are very primitive religious beliefs, or whether their consciousness of religion is more sophisticated, or at least seeming so compared to other states of religious consciousness.

Is being conscious of ancient religious beliefs going to help the current and future human species from all of the dangers it is experiencing now and into the future?

No! Humanly created religious beliefs are not going to solve any of the world's problems, especially on a global scale of existence, no matter how much people like to pray to their delusional human god whom religious people like to pretend exists.

I started to listen to a lecture series on the history of the Jewish religion, called Judaism. Just like the Christian religion, both the Jewish and the Christian religion were created a very long time ago with some people creating a way to worship their limited humanized concept of God somewhere up there in the sky.

Now, as far as anyone can tell, there is no materially humanized god up there in the sky.

Then, the creators of that so-called materially humanized concept of God thought that this so-called materially humanized concept of God wanted people to do certain things to make this so-called materially humanized concept of God happy.

Of course, the real spiritual realm of God, Spirit, is not only not human, not material, it is the pure realm of the spiritual state of existence and consciousness.

That concept applies to other religions too as you can well imagine.

The American Indians like to use the term, “The Great Spirit in the Sky.” for example. Even if they did not have high powerful telescopes to look at and study the sun, moon, and faraway stars, on Earth anyway, they felt something special still existed even if they could not see it with their human eyes and brains.

In other words, even the American Indians had a consciousness that something existed that was not a materialized humanized concept of God, but it was Spirit, at least in some sort of fashion, and less materially humanized than other religions that make a big deal out of there being a materialized human god.

“What did the Native Americans believe about the Great Spirit?
Great Spirit - From Wakan Tanka, the Great Spirit, there came a great unifying life force that flowed in and through all things – the flowers of the plains, blowing winds, rocks, trees, birds, animals – and was the same force that had been breathed into the first man.” (Wikipedia.)

My parents were weekly Catholics, especially my mother. I remember that she would not feed us certain foods on certain Catholic religious days.

“Ash Wednesday and Good Friday are obligatory days of fasting and abstinence for Catholics. In addition, Fridays during Lent are obligatory days of abstinence. For members of the Latin Catholic Church, the norms on fasting are obligatory from age 18 until age 59.” (Taken off the web.)

The above Catholic requirement is not ordered by Jesus at all, but by other people later on after he died.

“Does Jesus command us to fast?
First of all, Jesus's teaching in the Gospels, particularly in Matthew, is plain enough. In addition to his example (Matthew 4:2), and while not directly commanding his followers to fast. (Taken off the web.)

Jesus never instructed people to fast or to eat or not eat certain foods at certain times of the week, month, and year. Yet, fasting and eating and not eating certain foods are still practiced by certain Christian religions throughout some people’s lives.

Who and why some people think that it was and still is important to eat and not eat certain foods as part of the Christian religion is not the purpose of this essay, but it is obvious that someone started to think, believe, and make it a part of some Christians religions, which by the way are still very diverse.

The Jewish religion made a big deal out of Jewish believers to obey many human religious laws on a human level to make their ‘God’ happy, like not eating certain foods, or not eating certain foods on certain days.

When Jesus arrived, he did not make a big deal about what food to eat on certain days of the week, month, or year. He did not care about it at all.

Therefore, for over around 3500 years, this one religion among other religions falsely believed and still believed that eating or not eating certain foods is going to make some materially humanized God happy, as part of its requirements for the religious individual and groups of people.

“The origins of Judaism date back more than 3500 years. This religion is rooted in the ancient Near Eastern region of Canaan (which today constitutes Israel and the Palestinian territories). Judaism emerged from the beliefs and practices of the people known as “Israel”. (Taken off the web.)

That is not only a false state of religious consciousness, but also a rather silly notion that there is a material humanized God somewhere that cares about what types of food people eat whether they are Jewish, Christian, or any other religion.

This is only one example of trying to make a mentally delusional material human god happy.

Even modern-day Christians like the Catholics believe that they are not allowed to eat certain foods on certain days to fulfill their material humanized concept of God. Does anyone in their correct state of mind, or intelligence state of consciousness believe that there is a material humanized God somewhere that cares what people eat to make it happy?

In very simple terms, that is a very primitive concept of God within a very high level of spiritual state of existence and consciousness, but also in the lower and still primitive human realm of existence too.

In a mentally delusional state of religious consciousness, people think that there is a material humanized concept of God that cares about what people eat on certain days of the week for religious reasons. Of course, that is only not true, it is unreal and serves no realm divine or spiritual purpose.

Because it is a mentally delusional notion within the state of consciousness of an individual and collective state of consciousness.

Billions of people practice a mentally delusional notion that there is a material humanized God that cares what people eat to make this mentally delusional God happy.

In that case, they are not only wasting their human time believing such silly notions, but their individual and collective human religious consciousness is completely wrong no matter how much they believe otherwise.

What would happen if this mentally delusional state of religious consciousness that there is a material humanized God that cares about what people eat was changed to a true spiritual understanding that there is a realm of God, Spirit that is completely spiritual and only spiritual and its demands from the individual human beings and the collective human species was to obtain a true spiritual consciousness even while living with a biological human body?

It is amazing how there is not one word in the Gospels as far as I have read that states that Jesus ordered people to eat certain foods or to not eat certain foods at all, even on certain days of the week or year until religious people die.

Yet, before and after he died, the practice of eating and not eating certain foods became a requirement in both the Jewish and Christian religions because that belief was made up by some people before the life of Jesus and after the life of Jesus.

In other words, having a religious belief system of believing that eating or not eating certain foods during the day, week, or year will fulfill certain requirements for a humanized religious belief is not only silly, but a waste of time, and energy, nor does it lead to a true worship of God, Spirit.

In other words, not only do the Jewish and Christian religions pray to a materially humanized sense of God, Spirit, but they think that this God, Spirit cares about what people eat, on what day of the week, the month, the year. But it must make religious people feel good about doing it.

Sure, you may think to yourself, it does not harm people to not eat certain foods on religious days of the week, which may be true to a certain degree. But it does no good either, except to make people possibly hungrier.

Moreover, you might think to yourself who cares who eats or does not eat what types of foods for their religious practices? Well, if you think that you are making a materially humanized God, happy, you are not only wrong, but you are completely wrong, which makes for a wrong religious consciousness about God, Spirit, Almighty.

But if people are fooling themselves that they are obeying and fulfilling God’s commandment to not eat certain foods on certain days of the week, month, or year, they are fooling themselves.

Even more so when you realize that eating and not eating certain foods on certain days of the week is not even one of the commandants that are located in the Torah or the Bible’ Moses Ten Commandments.

More importantly than that, if it is a foolish religious belief that eating or not eating certain foods on certain days of the week, month, or year means anything to anyone, religious or not religious, it is a foolish and wrong state of religious consciousness.

In today’s modern-day world, people eat and do not eat all sorts of food for health reasons, which is completely different from eating or not eating certain foods for religious reasons. The human biological human body is a very complex living organism.

You must be careful what you eat and drink because as the saying goes, “You are what you eat.” However, I think I am more than what I eat as food because I think what a person is and has within their human consciousness is more important than food.

“Is a human being an organism?

A human being is an organism. It is composed of many microscopic parts, as we are all made of atoms, molecules, and cells. However, these are only building blocks. Humans are not made of a collection of tiny microorganisms, as microorganisms are each their own independent organism as well.” (Taken off the web.)

But a human being is more than a very complex biological body, or organism. Each human being is also a state of mind, as states of consciousness, religious or not religious.

Each human being and the whole human collective human species is a very complex state of hardwired brain consciousness and a soft-wired human mind and consciousness.

Some people might ask themselves which is more important, the human biological body or the hardwired human brain and the soft-wired human mind and consciousness?

The answer is not one-dimensional, even in the human realm of existence. All three realms of existence are needed for a human being to be a human being and as a collective human species.

The biological human body is needed. The human hardwired human brain is needed. The soft-wired human mind and consciousness is needed. All three realms make up the individual human being and the collective human species, as a collective human species. That is true.

That being stated, what matters for understanding God, Spirit is not the human biological body, nor even the human mind and consciousness. It depends on what state of consciousness is being used for understanding, thinking about, pondering, worshiping, and knowing God, Spirit.

The same applies to having a material church-building state of religious consciousness. A lot of religious people think there is a material humanized god that wants people to go and attain a material church of some kind. That is not true, even if religious people feel good about it.

It also applies to what it means to be a true Christian and a true sense of Christianity too.

What does it mean to possess a Christian state of consciousness?

Does being a true Christian mean not eating or eating certain types of food on certain days of the week, month, and year because of a religious practice and holiday? No, it does not. Why? Because a true Christian is a human being who has decided to obtain a spiritual state of consciousness because God is Spirit, not matter.

If there is a God, or Spirit that does not care about what people eat or not during the day, week, month of the year, any year, why would it care about what people eat or not eat during the day, week, month, and year for a human made up religious practice and holiday.

Surely, no priest or preacher is going to care about what people eat or not eat when they are alone at home during certain days, weeks, and months of the year. So, why would the people eating or not eating certain foods be any different in that regard?

This also applies to other external or objective religious practices of any kind in any religion.

Isn’t the consciousness of the religion termed Christianity more than external or objective humanly created religious ritual practices? There is no harm in having some sort of external or objective religious ritual practices, like Easter and Christmas. But God, Spirit does not care.

After all, some harmless external and objective religious ritual practices are part of any religion in possibly all societies around the globe. I would go as far as to state that if there were no religious ritual practices, human life might be boring for many people around the globe.

But at the end of the day, the week, the month, the year, and especially at the end of your human life, what is more important than religious ritual practices is what is happening within your consciousness.

Do you consider yourselves only a one-dimensional biological creature, or have you obtained any sense of true spirituality? Or a spiritual consciousness before you leave Earth.

Participating in daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly religious ritual practices is not going to do anything for your spiritual state of consciousness in any meaningful way, in any religion around the globe, in any society, in any culture, in any nation or country. That is the way it is, folks.

During more than 2000 years of Christianity and more than 3500 years of the Jewish religion, the external or objective religious Jewish and Christian rituals have been the main form of practicing the Jewish and Christian religion. Yet, most of them know nothing about God, Spirit.

After all, Jesus was a practicing Jew. After he died, the Jewish religion was not changed and transformed by some of the Jewish people. But other Jewish people broke away from the Jewish faith and slid into the Christian religion simply because they believed in the stories about Jesus.

The separation between the Jews and Christians happened because the Jews did not believe in Jesus while the Christians did believe in Jesus and his teachings. Even though his teachings were mainly by way of mouth until people started writing down his words and his story from at least four different angles. Then of course, a huge book titled the Bible was collected as one book.

I could explain why there are four different angles of the story of Jesus, but that is a huge metaphysical and spiritual lesson for another time, probably before the end of the year.

In any case, it should be noted that the Jewish religion believed mainly in the laws of Moses or the Ten Commandments, while the teachings of Jesus were based on more than the Ten Commandments because Jesus was teaching and preaching from a completely different standpoint than Moses even though it has been stated that Moses was the prototype of the Christ Consciousness.

Therefore, both the Jews and the Christians believed in more than their specific external or objective religious rituals and practices. At least that is the way it is believed by some people.

The Jews believed in way too many codes of conduct that were way more than the Ten Commandments which went overboard the boat of religious living. The Christians had even higher and deeper lessons that were taught by Jesus and his followers.

In essence, there was a break away from the Jewish laws and religious ritual practices when Jesus arrived to teach more metaphysically and spiritually abstract lessons about God, Spirit and the spiritual man even reaching down the human realm of existence by doing his work.

2000 years later, the primitive forms of the Jewish laws and commandments and the lessons Jesus taught have risen even further up the change of spiritual development and evolution to include the concept of consciousness as a higher metaphysical and spiritual lessons about God, Spirit, and the spiritual man which is not a one-dimensional biological state of being.

Therefore, what is the real spiritual state of a Christian Consciousness or a Christ Consciousness or in this case, a Christianity Consciousness?

Back in the time of the Jewish religion and the newly Christian religion, the word consciousness was not a big term if it even existed within their languages.

As a matter of fact, during the last 2000 years for the different stages and states of the Christian religion, people who were preaching about Jesus and the people who listened to those preachers were more concerned about simply believing in what Jesus did than anything about the term consciousness and what was within their consciousness as any sort of religious spiritual consciousness.

People back then or even now do not care about what is within their consciousness. Nor do they care about what is their human consciousness, but they should care about it, especially when dealing with the topic of religion and Christianity. Outward worship is always easier compared to dealing with a true transformation within the structure of the human hardwired brain and mind.

Why? If a religious Christian wrongly believes that their religious consciousness is based only on the very low-level state of consciousness of the Ten Commandments, what to eat or not to eat, or the different rituals and types of churches, then that is all external or objective from the real spiritual states of consciousness that should be considered as a very important area for true spiritual states of spiritual consciousness, especially for the Christian religion.

Other religions are mostly based on human-made fantasies, which in many ways so is the Christian religion. Most of the Christian religion is based on the common belief that Jesus died on the cross and rose again three days later. But it is only a religious belief, even if Jesus did rise from the dead and start breathing again.

For the common religious person, it is more important to simply believe in the death and life of Jesus than it is to obtain a true spiritual consciousness that Jesus possessed both before and after he die as a human being.

If Jesus did die on the cross and he became alive again afterward, and then people simply believe in him like he was a god, they are missing out on some very important aspects of the human man named Jesus because Jesus possessed a true understanding of God, Spirit, and he as a reflection of that God, Spirit, even if he was still living as a seemingly biological human body.

For instance, what was the consciousness that Jesus possessed while he was born, during his childhood, during the 30 years or so before he became a Jewish preacher who pissed off the Jewish religious leaders who then had him put to death on the cross?

This is a very important question for Christian believers and non-Christians alike.

In general, religious Christians simply believe in him like he was a god or even God in the flesh. But that is way too simple for any thinker, religious thinker or not.

It should be very obvious that Jesus had a hardwired human brain. And he had a soft-wired human mind and consciousness. That should be simple enough for anyone to agree to as a basic fact of being a human being.

But Jesus did not possess a simple consciousness. Nor did Jesus possess a very simple one-dimensional state of biological consciousness. Jesus possessed a multi-dimensional consciousness that the people around him could feel, but they could not understand because they possessed only a one-dimensional state of biological consciousness.

Jesus possessed what is termed the Christ Consciousness. Everyone around him did not possess the Christ Consciousness, just like today most if not all people do not possess the Christ Consciousness. But they should start to think about it, especially after my essays.

That concept of possessing a multi-dimensional consciousness can be illustrated in human terms also. Most people have a one-dimensional biological body, but they also possess different states of consciousness depending on what their area of expertise is at any given time during their human lives.

For example, some people spend their whole lives studying and practicing music, mathematics, and even astrophysics or quantum physics. Or even microbiology.

These people, and their human brains and minds, possess a different state of human consciousness regarding those different and very specific topics compared to the other people, their human brains and minds, who do not study and understand the mental realms of music, mathematics, astrophysics, or quantum physics. Or even microbiology.

It is the same idea regarding the metaphysically spiritual interpretation of the Bible. A person who is studying the Bible as a history book will never understand, know, and become conscious of the very deep, profound, and life-changing metaphysical and spiritual meanings of the Bible.

They could possess Christ Consciousness if they learned the way of seeking, (the Word) and finding, (the Christ) using, (Christianity) and being (the Spiritual Science) the multi-dimensional states of spiritual consciousness and its spiritual and metaphysical laws.

By the way, those four terms, Word, Christ, Christianity, and Science are four terms that describe the four operational modes of operation in the realm of what is termed divine Science, or that pure spiritual realm where God is operating from itself, through itself, as itself, and for itself.

For example, the divine Mind or Intelligence only knows itself from the whole of divine Mind or Intelligence, through the whole of divine Mind or Intelligence, as itself or as the whole of itself as the divine Mind or Intelligence, and for itself for the whole of itself as the divine Mind or Intelligence.

This divine Mind or Intelligence does not know any mortal mental religious delusional concepts about Jesus, Christianity, or any other religion known to the human species. It does not know an evil mind, a carnal or sexually sinful mind, or a limited human brain-mind, or ignorant mind, etc.

In the human mental realm of existence, this divine realm translates itself to the human mind as seeking God or the Word of God, finding God or becoming the Christ Consciousness, using God as a pure spiritual realm of reflection, and being God within the pure realm of spiritual consciousness.

By the way, these spiritual laws are better described in Max Kappeler’s book titled, “The Four Levels of Spiritual Consciousness.” And I advise everyone to buy it at the link below.

https://www.kappelerinstitute.org/books-2/books/

https://www.kappelerinstitute.org/kappeler-files/Books/four-levels.pdf

There were people before and after the time of Jesus who knew what the Bible or the Torah meant as purely spiritual and metaphysical books on higher levels of spiritual consciousness, not just a book about people like Moses, for example.

Why is the term and topic of consciousness having a real spiritual consciousness so important in this new age of science, of knowledge, information, and different realms of intelligence?

It is because, in this new age of intelligence, information, and knowledge, the material and physical sciences have made it very clear that what is more important than anything is understanding any area of life. Having the understanding, intelligence, information, and knowledge is way more important than money, sex, power, cars and trucks, sports, etc. etc. etc.

So why does that have to do with the religion of Christianity?

Since the very first century after the life and death of Jesus, the religion of Christianity, just like the Jewish religion, has also gone through many different changes during its Jewish history; so too has the Christian religion when it was being spread throughout the different nations and countries around the globe during the last 2000 years.

In today’s modern-day world, the word consciousness is a very big and important topic by at least some people or researchers in the field of neural science, - meaning the brain, and even in the human mind topic of psychology.

Even since the death of Jesus, the religious movement termed Christianity has been changing in many different ways for over 2000 years. Many believers have no idea what they believe in while many non-believers think that many Christian beliefs are simply crazy, stupid, ridiculous, unreal, and unreasonable too.

Therefore, if the Christian and Jewish religions have been changing for over 2000 years and 5500, respectfully, what should be the next major change for all of the 2.2 billion Christian and Jewish believers and even for the non-Christian and non-Jewish believers too, as a means for understanding the higher spiritual sense of the Christian religion on a deeper, metaphysical, and spiritual realm of existence?

There should be a complete change in how all religious people view, practice, and are aware of God, Spirit.

The next step is a true Christian consciousness termed the Christ Consciousness for every individual Christian believer and no believer alike, and the collective state of mind for the Christian religion.

What is this new state of mind or state of Christian consciousness that should be the new aim, goal, and purpose for every Christian believer and non-Christian believer alike?

The new state of a Christian consciousness should be obtaining the same spiritual Christ consciousness that Jesus had obtained during his human life, and which he obtained even more so after his human death.

Believe it or not religious folks, even after your human death, you are still learning lessons about life.

Is a spiritual consciousness of Christianity eating or not eating certain foods on certain days of the day, week, month, or year? Nope. Eating or not eating certain foods has nothing to do with a true, spiritual state of consciousness. I eat and drink whatever I want, and I still know what I know. I am still in a multi-dimensional state of consciousness, even while I walk with my human biological body. A body I don’t like anymore to tell you the truth. It has taken a lot of work to stay alive these last five years of my human life.

Is a spiritual consciousness of Christianity studying, knowing, and understanding the history of Christianity?

Is a spiritual consciousness of Christianity simply repeating the same words over and over again for the previous 2000 years and the next 2000 years?

Or should a spiritual consciousness of Christianity be something deeper, and more profound instead of simply living as a human biological creature on planet Earth, among the other human biological creatures on planet Earth?

All of the above questions and issues depend on the religion of Christianity to be exercised on looking outward from the human brain, mind, and consciousness to the everyday life of a so-called Christian.

But what happens inwardly within the mind, the consciousness, and even the brain of a person who desires to be a real Christian with a spiritual Christian state of consciousness?

Can this true spiritual Christ consciousness be grasped mentally, understood, and known by the one-dimensional biological state of consciousness?

No, the true spiritual Christ consciousness cannot be grasped mentally, understood, or known by billions of human beings simply believing that they are only a one-dimensional biological brain and body.

The true spiritual Christ consciousness can only be grasped mentally, understood, and known by first accenting the metaphysical fact that God Almighty is not the biological Jesus, but in the words of Jesus, “God is Spirit. And those who worship God, the Spirit, must worship in spirit and truth.”

That is what Jesus stated, or so it is written in the Gospel of John.

Yet, for some unknown reason, all of the 2.2 billion Christian believers and the other billions of non-believers have either ignored that statement or do not care about reading that one sentence and trying to figure out what it means.

Mary Baker Eddy stated on the page, (595. 19-21.) SPIRIT. Divine substance; Mind; divine Principle; all that is good; God; that only which is perfect, ever-lasting, omnipresent, omnipotent, infinite.

Having a spiritual Christian consciousness does not depend on, nor will ever depend on eating or not eating certain foods on certain days of the week, month, or year, until the day you die.

And Jesus never stated that false religious concept either. So why do people who consider themselves Christians wrongly and falsely believe that eating or not eating certain foods on certain days of the week or month makes them real Christians when it does not make them real spiritual Christians?

Moreover, Jesus never made a big deal out of any type of human ritual and religious outward practice and prayer because he knew as he stated, ‘The Kingdom of God is within you.’ Jesus stated that.”The kingdom of God, Spirit is within you.” (Luke 12:17)

He meant that the spiritual realm of God, Spirit is only located within your mind as spiritual understanding and consciousness. The kingdom of God is not someplace, somewhere. It is right where you are located, if you understand, know, and are conscious of the spiritual realms of existence that are not a one-dimensional biological state of consciousness and existence.

Most rational people look down on the wrong and false sense of Christian worship just the way they look down on the Jewish religion for their old, outdated, and ridiculous religious rituals and practices that the Jews have been doing for over 3000 years, give or take a few years.

Most people have to come to realize that Jesus is not going to return in the sky, plucking people out from their graves and bringing them to a place called heaven. Why haven’t the so-called Christians realized it too? How long will it take for Christians to wake up from their mentally delusional religious beliefs and start to obtain a true spiritual consciousness that Jesus possessed?

Religious rituals and practices that Jesus came to overcome because he did not give a hoot about obeying such stupid and nonsensical rituals and practices when it came to knowing, understanding, and obeying the pure spiritual realm of Spirit.

Jesus stated that.”The kingdom of God, Spirit is within you.” (Luke 12:17)

He never remarked that the kingdom of God, Spirit is out there somewhere, like in the cosmic universe, where you may think, you may travel to in your afterlife. Which may or may not happen.

I state that it may or may not happen because I have already travel out of my human biological body, more like my human brain, and I somehow exited my human brain, was stuck up there in the cosmic universe for just long to view a whole cosmic galaxy before I was thrusted back into my human brain, which was not a pleasant entry back to my human brain. Six times and more!

This has led me to think that maybe people leave their human brains when they die, and they are sent out into the cosmic universe to go somewhere besides planet Earth. But I do not know if that is a true concept so, please do not quote me on it.

Jesus hinted at the metaphysical and spiritual fact that the kingdom of God and heaven is within your spiritual consciousness. Where else is it going to be accepted within your mind, consciousness, and state of existence?

If you truly believe that you are only a one-dimensional state of a biological consciousness and you do not want to evolve and develop out of that one-dimensional state of a biological consciousness, you will never see and understand your true spiritual self-hood that is outside of your very limited biological body with its hardwired human brain which needs the five physical senses to see, hear, taste, touch, and smell.

Surely, you all must know by now that there is so much more to living and life even on planet Earth than what you experience with your very limited human eyes, ears, nose, tongue, and skin.

The material and physical sciences have demonstrated that fact in so many areas of life, biological life, cosmic life, and even within the mental realms of the brain termed neural sciences that all of you must realize that if human and biological life is very complex, so too is the realm of God, Spirit, in its deeper and more profound metaphysical and spiritual meanings.

The realm of Spirit, God, is located exactly where you are located, just like the realm of mathematics is located exactly where you are located. If you truly understand that 2=2=4, that is a mathematical idea.

Well, if you begin to understand the spiritual realm as a spiritual realm of spiritual ideas and laws that you can understand now, right where you are located, you can begin to obtain a true spiritual Christ consciousness or a pure realm of spiritual Christianity as a state of Christianity consciousness.

But that is not accomplished by either the old and outdated Jewish or Christian religious rituals and practices that serve no real purposes other than to fool either real or false religious people that they are doing something in the name of Jesus Christ before they die, so they can get to a place call heaven so they do not go to a place called hell as a state in the afterlife.

So the essay is written for this week. Some of you will laugh at or even hate this essay. Too bad for you.

But that is ok because one day a new generation of people might read it and they will change not only their one-dimensional biological consciousness to a multi-dimensional state of spiritual consciousness, but they will help change and transform the human species from the mess it is in now to a new generation of spiritual human beings on planet Earth.

Until that happens, there are still people like me to help it along.

Essay 37 - 2024. Mass School Murders and Murderers. Who has more rights, the gun owners or the children who want to live to attend school? By: Mr. George D. Patnoe. September 12, 2024.

Essay 37 - 2024. Mass School Murders and Murderers.

Who has more rights, the gun owners or the children who want to live to attend school?

By: Mr. George D. Patnoe.

September 12, 2024.


When are school shootings and murders going to stop?

Gun control or unlimited gun freedoms.

How can such an American paradoxical issue be solved when many people want to buy and own a gun to protect themselves from violent criminals, teenagers and adults alike, and at the same time, mass shootings continue to happen in American schools?

“Do not kill.” is one of the ten commandments, yet no child or teenager who is in any one of America’s schools is safe from being murdered by mentally deranged people has access to guns, a handgun or pistol or a rifle or both.

“What does the 2nd Amendment mean in simple terms?

“The Second Amendment protects an individual right to possess a firearm unconnected with service in a militia, and to use that arm for traditionally lawful purposes, such as self-defense within the home.” (Taken off the web.)

The Second Amendment to the United States Constitution protects the right to keep and bear arms. It was ratified on December 15, 1791, along with nine other articles of the Bill of Rights. (Wikipedia.)

Both the biblical commandment, “Do not kill.” and the Second Amendment of the US Constitution are very complex issues and problems, that is for sure.

How can a biblical (Bible) law and American law, ‘Do not kill,’ and the Second Amendment of the US Constitution that allows Americans to own and carry guns, rifles, etc., be reconciled when they are at both the extreme ends of American life and civilization?

“Cain murdered his brother, and he went out into the land of Nod.” Or nothingness.

Americans and people all around the globe have again witnessed another episode of a criminally violent attack by a teenager who murdered innocent, helpless, defenseless children and adults by slaughtering them with his rifle, in this case an AR-15 rifle that his dad gave to him as a gift.

I have read that soldiers used to pick up the AR-15 rifle from dead soldiers in Vietnam during the Vietnam War because it was a more dependable rifle than the rifles that the American soldiers were forced to use.

“Vietnam is a Southeast Asian country known for its beaches, rivers, Buddhist pagodas and bustling cities. Hanoi, the capital, pays homage to the nation’s iconic Communist-era leader, Ho Chi Minh, via a huge marble mausoleum. Ho Chi Minh City (formerly Saigon) has French colonial landmarks, plus Vietnamese War history museums and the C Chi tunnels, used by Viet Cong soldiers.” (Taken off the web.)

“The Vietnam War was a conflict in Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia from 1 November 1955 to the fall of Saigon on 30 April 1975. It was the second of the Indochina Wars and a major conflict of the Cold War.” (Taken off the web.)

On May 25, 2022, my mind started to change its opinion about absolute freedom and gun control when the news on Fox and CNN started to broadcast news about the 19 children and two teachers who were slaughtered like cows in a high school.

I was watching the news when “at least 19 children and two teachers were killed Tuesday when a gunman opened fire in a Texas elementary school, according to the Texas Department of Public Safety.”

Three days later it was still on the news, and I could not take it anymore. I called up Xfinity and I told them I did not want to pay over $200 for a tv box with over 200 channels that I rarely used, and when I did use it, there was still news about mass school shootings, for three days.

The 21 people killed by an 18-year male were legally adults, but not really from the viewpoint of neural (brain) science which has stated that the human brain is not an adult until about the age 24, the age long after many young people go into the military and learn to kill for their country. And learn to shoot a gun and rifle.

Now, on September 4, 2022, a 14-year-old male teenager decided to shoot, kill-murder helpless, defenseless, and innocent human beings, young and old with an AR-15-style rifle that his dad gave to him as a gift.

Wow.

What was his dad thinking at the moment he handed over an AR-15 rifle to his 14-year-old teenager?

My dad would have never handed over an AR-15 rifle to me. And he was an ex-Army guy although I don't know how many times he used a gun or a rifle in his eight years in the military.

Up until that moment in American history when the news stations were flashing the numbers 19 children and 2 adults had been murdered while the police who train with all sorts of guns and rifles and other weapons stood outside the school waiting for the shooter to kill himself, while the innocent, defenseless, and helpless children and teachers waited for help by the police.

The chicken shit cops who confess to themselves that they are the most badass people in America when they also attack defenseless, helpless, and innocent American civilians when they are on the job.

Maybe those police officers were relating to the shooter in the school on a subconscious level of psychological existence because both the shooter in the school and some cops love shooting innocent, defenseless, and helpless people in America.

I was all for gun freedom versus gun control. But now I am not so sure. There are a lot of gun laws and there are a lot of ways to carry a gun too.

In the county where I live, I looked up what it takes to get a CCW or a carry permit to carry a concealed gun. There are a lot of steps to obtaining a carry concealed gun permit. It seemed like a smart number of steps for a person who wanted to carry a concealed pistol. There was a lot to learn about it for the newbie.

I had a carry permit when I lived in New York long ago. I used it for security work that was sometimes very dangerous, and for which I got paid a lot of money too.

I never had the psychological urge to kill another human being. I never possessed one thought within my mind telling me that I should be famous for a few days by simply shooting and murdering defenseless, helpless, and innocent human beings.

I was never that psychologically deranged mentally to shoot at and murder people because my brain and mind were not psychologically deranged killers, like a lot of criminally minded teenagers and adults.

What about all of the other violent people in America, from New York City to California? Especially those people who are illegal immigrants?

As Trump has stated many times. Some of these illegal immigrants have blood in their eyes from the moment they cross the border and cross over into America to the moment they commit violent, criminal acts towards innocent, defenseless, and helpless Americans who only want to live their lives in peace and harmony.

What is the mental and psychological internal nature of violent teenagers and adults alike, in Americans, immigrants, and terrorists overseas on other lands, nations, and countries?

Is there a common mental and psychological denominator within the human brains and minds of those violent human beings who have no problem with murdering other human beings?

You bet there is. But during human history, there have been countless bloody battles where human beings have slaughtered other human beings with no sense of guilt.

How many wars during human history have been up close when the eyeballs of two soldiers could see each other as they used swords, knives, guns, and rifles to slaughter each other, usually before some of them got a chance to live a nice life as an adult?

What a way to live on Earth.

Truthfully, a lot of men and ladies too, like to kill other human beings. What is it that causes such mental and psychological urges, a sense of joy, a life purpose to kill other human beings?

I have to admit, something is very wrong in America, in the land of the free and the home of the brave, when almost anyone can obtain a handgun or a rifle and then be free to walk into a school building and slaughter helpless, defenseless, and innocent children and adults with bullets flying through the air instead of teacher’s words flying through the air.

Therefore, whether it is teenagers with extreme criminally violent mental health problems that cause enough anger and hate to become murderers in a flash by shooting helpless, defenseless, and innocent children in a school setting, or whether it is a grown-up with the same mental health problems, it has to be plainly stated that the cause is an evil-minded human being who has flipped his brain and mind over to the dark side of their personal existence.

There is not an evil thing out there like a lot of Christians like to believe for their religious purposes. But there is evil within the minds of human beings. Sure, there are a lot of psychological words to describe the different mental states and causes within the human brain and mind to allow any human being to flip off the guilty switch, or have a good conscience, to make the correct decision to not commit mass murders in a school setting.

Some, maybe most people will never let their gun freedoms go away peacefully. But that being stated, there has to be a point in America where people are not allowed to obtain guns and rifles so freely so they or other people can easily kill, murder, or slaughter helpless, defenseless, and innocent children who are attaining school to learn reading, writing, and mathematics, etc.

The problem is that who knows who is going to go off the psychological deep end and lose control of their minds?

What is more important to the people and citizens of America; having gun freedom, or having its schools safe for children to learn to read, write, and do mathematics without fear that maybe their last day in school will be their last day on planet Earth?

It is probably too late to change the current situation in America regarding guns in general because there are just way too many guns and rifles in every home, town, and city.

Plus, people like their guns and rifles, etc. Some people have valid reasons for wanting a gun, shotgun, or rifle, among the endless styles of killing weapons.

A gun or a rifle in the hands of some people makes them feel good, like holding a hammer to pound a nail into the wood for some reason, like building a house..

American history has been a land where some people believe that they would rather die with a gun in one hand, and a Bible in the other hand than be alive at all.

Of course, during American history, that is all some people had in their hands, or possession, a gun and/or a rifle and a Bible as they traveled from the East Coast to the West Coast.

But that was during a different period. Now, we are living in a different period where most people don’t need a gun and/or a rifle for the same reasons that existed before the modern-day era.

Furthermore, most people do not care about the Bible like they once did, but if they do care about the Bible, they probably do not carry it at all times like they would carry a handgun.

Some people would rather have a gun, on a side holster or in a purse. They want a gun for self-protection, both inside the home and outside the home because there are still very violent, mentally disturbed teenagers and adults alike who enjoy committing acts of violence against innocent, helpless, and defenseless American citizens.

What about comparing America’s school shooting problem with other nations?

“The United States has a gun violence epidemic, and it's not one shared by its peers. The nation that by one estimate has more guns than people has the highest rate of firearm deaths compared with other high-income countries. Mass shootings, an all-too-common occurrence in the U.S., are also exceedingly rare in peer countries -- where governments have often been quick to pass gun reform in the wake of such tragedies.

"Compared to the other peer countries, basically what we have is lots and lots of guns, particularly handguns, and we have by far the weakest gun laws. Not surprisingly, we have huge gun problems," David Hemenway, director of the Harvard Injury Control Research Center, told ABC News. "I think if we had the gun laws of any other developed country, we'd be better off."

"It's unclear if gun prevalence definitively impacts gun violence, though research by Hemenway's center has found links between a large number of guns and more firearm homicides, suicides, and accidents. The implementation of new gun restrictions has also been associated with a drop in firearm deaths, a 2016 review of 130 studies across 10 countries found."

"It's not uncommon to compare the U.S. with other developed countries, especially after yet another horrific mass shooting. There are developing countries with higher rates of firearm deaths than the U.S., though comparing gun violence among peers helps to control for other factors, Hemenway said. And while there are lessons in other nations' policy measures that could help address the problem here, because the U.S. is on such a different plane when it comes to civilian gun ownership, it will also take more research and multiple, targeted solutions to address the scope of the problem, experts said."

"Other countries do better. We should be able to figure out how to do better," Hemenway said.”

There are so many facts on the web about comparing gun violence in America and around the globe.

Just take a look at the next web site.

So, here is the question that most religious Christian people have not asked themselves lately or ever during the 2000 reign of Christianity, which by the way has taken on many different forms by various peoples depending on what nation or country where they were living in and who was the bishop during the specific period.

Christianity has also taken on many different beliefs, practices, and wordy rituals too, also depending on the specific bishops and time periods.

I started to study, read, and research the history of Christianity for many reasons, one of which is that I have a sister who once told me that she was a Christian.

My brain and mind paused for a second and I realized that she did not know what she was talking about like so many other so-called wordy Christians who know nothing about the Christian religion or the history of it, yet they consider themselves Christians to other people.

Anyway, the main question for this essay is this, ‘Are bad, violent, criminal, and murderous teenagers and adults alike made in the image and likeness of God?

Or are they simply biological human creatures with hardwired human brains and screwed up soft-wired human minds who are so poorly raised by their parents, the society that they live in, and the state and nation they live in during the specific period they are alive?

It seems that the laws of the land, the court system, the judges, and even the police do nothing at all about stopping teenagers of any age, in any nation, or society from committing crimes, especially violent crimes against helpless, defenseless, and innocent human beings.

This problem and issue are not only in a specific town or a specific state like California because it happens in whatever state where criminally violent-minded teenagers and adults are living.

This problem and issue are not only in a specific nation or country because teenage criminal violent crimes happen in other nations and countries too, but American news stations just love a good violent story of murder and the slaughter of helpless, innocent, and defenseless human beings.

Let us all watch evil murderous human beings, for fun. Heck, we watch movies that have it to watch, and we pay for it too.

For the sake of argument, we can assume that just maybe the issue and problem of teenage violent criminal crime and behavior could happen in many nations and counties because of the nature of the hardwired human brain and the soft-wired human mind and consciousness.

But not in all nations and countries. Some nations and countries have little or no violent crime like teenagers or adults going to school to murder and slaughter innocent, defenseless, and helpless children and adults.

A school should be considered a holy place, a safe place for children and the teachers who are with them all day long. Hire trained cops to be there instead of handing out parking and speeding tickets.

Oh, that is correct. Handing out parking and speeding tickets brings money into the city's bank accounts. Why waste money on protecting school children and teachers if they die, no money is wasted on them, nor will the dead people bring money into the city's bank accounts.

The underlying issue is whether the human species, including human teenagers, are made in the image and likeness of God, Spirit.

Or are they simply a biological series of very long, hundreds of millions of biological evolution and development that started with the first cell in a pond somewhere, which led up to the first fish walking on dry land, which developed up to the caveman and cavewoman, up to the moment where the human species is currently situated.

Of course, other questions need to be raised and addressed too.

Like, ‘What is American society, American parents, and even the churches doing to allow this violent criminally minded teenager to proceed with their criminal behavior or at least their anti-social behavior which could lead to teenagers murdering other teenagers with a knife, gun, are an AR-47 rifle that is meant for war.

America was built with people, even teenagers, holding a gun and a rifle for hunting and survival as they traveled from the East Coast to the West Coast.

Guns and rifles were used for hunting and self-defense, especially from wild animals like "lions, tigers, bears, oh my!" And even smaller animals that know how to bite and kill for food or out of fear.

The main point is that teenagers and adults have been taught to be able to point a gun or a rifle and pull the trigger to kill another living creature, whether for bad or good.

Overseas, in other nations and countries, teenagers are raised by their violent criminally minded parents to also point a gun or a rifle to pull the trigger to kill another living human being, more than likely an American soldier who is located in their nation or country for whatever reason.

But even in other nations and countries, teenagers are also trained to point and pull the trigger of a gun or a rifle against people who also live in their town, country, or nation.

Whether for religious, political, social, or economic reasons, guns and rifles are used by adults and teenagers in the same fashion, point the gun or rifle at another living human being, and pull the trigger.

It is a very easy thing to do. I have pulled a few triggers during my life. I am good at pointing a gun and shooting it too. I attended a gun class a very long time ago.

The gun instructor had a .357 Magnum with a scope on it. When it was my turn to shoot the .357 Magnum with a scope on it, I hit the target dead center every time I pulled the trigger.

The paper target was 75 yards away from the group. I hit it dead center every time.

The gun instructor asked me if I had ever shot a .357 gun before, and I answered his question with a no. He was an old-time gun instructor. He looked down on my face as he stated, “I have never seen anyone hit the target every time, but especially on his first time of shooting a .357 Magnum.”

He handed me the paper target which I still have in a safe.

Since then, I have talked to many military snipers, and they have told me that I would have been a good sniper. I have also talked to military guys who stated to me that not everyone can shoot a gun.

Some teenagers are good at pointing and pulling the trigger on their gaming guns, killing the creatures that are their enemies or opponents.

I knew a United States Marine who was a good gamer before he entered the Marines. He became a really good shooter and killer for the Marines. He had been shot four times by other people who were trying to kill him. He lived every time.

He returned to America to become a cop in a town with a high crime environment, probably with a lot of teenagers who are still highly violent criminals in the drug trade.

In the town that I currently live in, I once had five teenagers trying to pick a fight with me on the sidewalk in front of my house while I was dealing with stage 4 CLL cancer.

When I called the cops, they did not care about these violent criminally minded teenagers who were trying to pick a fight with a senior citizen with stage 4 cancer.

Nobody cared about the violent teenagers in the teeny, tiny town I currently live in. I bet that nobody in the middle and large towns and cities do not care about violent criminal teenagers either, especially the parents.

The dad bought an AR-15 for his son who killed 4 people, both who will probably spend the rest of their lives in a prison cell thinking what the heck did they even own an AK-15 rifle.

The dad who might ask his son why he did it while they enjoy a prison meal of the same boring, bad food that is served to criminals in prison and jail.

The son might answer his dad with this response. "Well, Dad. You and Mom were so screwed up and you did not show one ounce of concern for me and my life, nor did you show me one ounce of love for me either. So, I decided to kill some people so you might notice me."

Did this dad think that he was made in the image and likeness of God, Spirit? If he ever visited a church at any time during his life?

Did this dad think that his son was made in the image and likeness of God, Spirit, from the day he was born until the day he died?

How about the mother who has a long criminal record as is reported in the news?

How about a bigger question?

Do all gun owners in America and throughout the world think that they too, are made in the image and likeness of God, Spirit, when they are holding and shooting a gun or a rifle?

But especially if they are Christians. Do you mean they read the Bible and go to Church every Sunday morning and then they go shooting a handgun or a rifle in the afternoon? You know, just for fun. Leave that Bible book on the kitchen table. Who needs it?

Does reading the Bible and going to a church make a person a Christian?

Does holding and shooting a handgun or rifle make a person a Christian?

Does reading the Bible and going to a church make a person man in the image and likeness of God, Spirit?

If Americas who are Christians believe that they are man made in the image and likeness of God, Spirit, because they read the Bible and go to a church, they do they think that they are man made in the image and likeness of God, Spirit whenever they hold a gun or rifle and pull the trigger?

Nope, they are not made in the image and likeness of God, Spirit.

What about those other human beings overseas who hold a gun and pull the trigger of a gun or rifle to kill and murder, or slaughter other human beings?

Are they made in the image and likeness of God, Spirit whenever they hold the gun and pull the trigger to kill, or murder another human being?

If the Americans who hold a gun or rifle and pull that trigger of a gun or rifle are the same basic human beings who are also holding a gun and pulling the trigger overseas, like those extreme radical Islamic terrorists who are also biological human beings who believe that they too, are man made in the image and likeness of their teeny, tiny, imaginary delusional god within their minds, then the whole human species is in very deep trouble.

Holding and shooting handguns and rifles is not going to help the current and future survival of the human species.

Isn’t it amazing that people love violent movies? We all love the good guy beating and winning over the bad guy. Isn’t it true?

The individual and collective American mind to a certain extent loves guns, violence, and even hunting again, to a certain extent.

Moreover, I think that many people identify themselves by being gun owners just like they like to identify their human self with what type of car or truck they drive, just like they like to identify themselves as a Republican or a Democrat. It is part of being a human being, a grown-up human being.

Young people and teenagers are not adults. The young and adult human brain and mind is not the adult human brain and mind. It is really that simple.

Many children grow up fast and they realize many things about life and death. Other children never grow up and they never realize many things about life and death, until it is too late.

Most children and teenagers do not need, nor should they ever have own and use guns and rifles, unless is some cases like children and teenagers who live in the country and in the farms where the life of children, teenagers, and adults alike live a completely different lifestyle from the children, teenagers, and adults who live in the town and cities in America.

On the other hand, the children, teenagers, and adults who live in the towns, cities, and areas in America have also experienced different types of life, violence, and the usage of weapons like guns and rifles in different ways than the people who live in the faraway countryside and farmlands of America.

Nor should they be allowed access to a gun

Here is the main question or issue in my mind regarding guns, violence, and mass murders in America and the world in general, but in schools specifically.

Outwardly, or life in the objective world in America, it is what it is! At the moment anyway.

There is the Bible with the words within a biblical commandment, “Do not kill.”

Yet, it still happens. People kill other people every day in America and around the globe.

There are laws against committing murder and killing in America.

Yet, it still happens. People kill and murder other people every day in America and around the globe.

There is the common-sense notion and idea, the normal concept of not killing and murdering other people on planet Earth because, unlike in another place in the cosmic universe where other types of creatures might not believe nor kill and murder other creatures within their species, human beings still have a biological hardwired human brain and a soft-wired human mind and consciousness.

In the external or objective world, there are the normal images of people of any age, skin color, male or female, whose hardwired human brains and soft-wired human minds and different states of consciousness commit acts of killings, murders, and of course, other acts of violence.

In the town I currently live in, I have personally experienced male teenagers commit multi-types of violence and crimes against me. I realized that their parent’s brains and minds are very low on the scale of human intelligence, integrity, and education.

But the same goes for every town in America and the world.

There are 7-8 billion hardwired human brains and very different types of soft-wired human minds and states of consciousness that are walking and living on planet Earth.

All of them better learn to behave, to not be violent, nor to commit criminal acts towards other human beings. That would be a step in loving your neighbor as yourself, ... another biblical commandment.

Including the dangerous human beings, teenagers and adults alike, whose hardwired human brains and soft-wired human minds and consciousness are for short term, are mentally deranged for many different reasons and causes.

Depending on where a person lives, even within America, there are going to be different types of family, economic, social, political, and cultural aspects that will cause an individual human being to become so deranged that they flip a neural switch within their hardwired human brain and mentally decide to take the steps of preparing, planning, and then trying to commit the insane and crazy violent act of killing and murdering helpless, defenseless, and innocent children and adults.

In other parts of the world, they might be called terrorists. It is about time the word terrorists is applied to violent teenagers and adults alike in America too, not just the word criminal.

To call it evil is true. That should be no mistake. Killing and murdering innocent, defenseless, and helpless children, teenagers, and adults anywhere in the world for whatever reason is an evil act no matter what excuse is used for its justification.

Maybe it is because they have watched too much violent television, too many violent movies, too many violent news broadcasts of actual images of war, played too many violent video games, etc.

Probably too many drugs are involved to create mentally psychologically criminally violently deranged human beings.

The truth is that most violent teenagers are simply punks who are afraid of their shadows. Once, not too long ago, I was walking out of a major chain store with two bags in my hands.

As soon as I left the front doors, I turned my head around for some reason, as luck or a blessing would have it, and there were three teenage males with their hands made into fists.

In less than a second, I had flipped my whole body around to face them head-on and looked them dead in the eyes of the first male teenager with my two bags in my hand.

I stopped dead in my tracks and waited for the front guy to do something stupid. Thankfully, he and his two buddies walked around me with their hands still made into fists.

I have had that happen to me in the very teeny, tiny, nothing town I currently live in. Thin, under fed pothead teenagers trying to pick a fight with me, a grown man. Their parents never taught them any values, morals, ethics, or probably anything whatsoever, just their school system.

I have watched violent television, violent movies, and violent news broadcasts of images of war and violence, just like most people. Yet, most people like me do not go out of their homes and commit violent acts against helpless, innocent, and defenseless people.

To commit such violent actions would reflect very poorly on what was going on inside of my human brain and mind. But that does not mean many people’s hardwired human brains and soft-wired human minds are normal.

On the contrary, the hardwired brain and soft-wired human mind and consciousness are very complex entities.

That is the reason why many people want to be able to own and carry a pistol or handgun for self-protection or have one in their homes.

Would any human being blame God, Spirit, for such a crazy, insane, and mentally deranged human hardwired brain and soft-wired human mind and consciousness that exists in human society today?

Of course, they would not blame God, Spirit. Because God, Spirit is a pure realm of spiritual consciousness and not a one-dimensional biological state of existence and consciousness that can be killed, murdered, and slaughtered with a handgun or a rifle, like an AR-15.

May all of those children and teachers rest in peace!

May their killers go straight to hell!
