The Spiritual Purpose of the Material World: Jeshua, Christ Consciousness, and the Path of Awakening
A Clear and Coherent Explanation of Jeshua’s Mystical Teachings
The Material World: A Classroom, Not a Prison
The material world was never meant to be rejected or abandoned. Instead, it serves as a classroom where souls can learn to express divine love in practical, tangible ways. The physical realm is not a prison to escape, but an environment designed for spiritual growth and transformation.
Reincarnation: Many Lifetimes for Spiritual Growth
Jeshua taught his disciples that the soul returns to earth multiple times in order to learn and progress spiritually. Each lifetime offers a unique opportunity to grow closer to embodying perfect love. According to ancient readings, this teaching of reincarnation was an essential part of Jeshua’s message, later removed from mainstream Christian doctrine by early church councils. Jeshua saw reincarnation as God’s gift—unlimited chances for the soul to develop and perfect itself.
The Healing Power of Divine Love
Jeshua understood that illness is rooted in spiritual imbalance, and that true healing occurs when we align our consciousness with divine love. By restoring this inner harmony, we experience healing on all levels—body, mind, and spirit.
Jeshua’s Spiritual Preparation and Past Lives
Before his birth as Jeshua, his soul had already reached a high level of spiritual development. Jeshua’s soul had lived many previous lifetimes, each one preparing him for his final mission as the Christ. He had learned to access altered states of consciousness—similar to what we might call deep meditation or trance today. During his forty days in the wilderness, Jeshua was not simply fasting and praying; he was accessing the Akashic records, the accumulated wisdom of all souls, giving him spiritual authority to teach, perform miracles, and transcend natural law.
Jeshua’s Eternal Soul and Biblical Figures
When Jeshua said, “Before Abraham was, I am,” he was not just claiming divinity. He was expressing an awareness of his soul’s eternal journey through many lifetimes. Jeshua remembered previous incarnations, including lives as Adam and Enoch, suggesting that the entire biblical narrative follows one soul’s journey toward becoming the perfect expression of divine love. Every major spiritual figure in the Old Testament was, in this view, a step in preparing for Jeshua’s ultimate incarnation as the Christ.
The Missing Years: Eastern Teachings and Initiations
During the so-called “missing years” not covered in the Bible, Jeshua is believed to have traveled to India, where he studied with spiritual masters who taught about karma, reincarnation, and the unity of all souls. There, he learned that every person has the potential to achieve “Christ consciousness”—the awareness of our divine nature. In Egypt, Jeshua studied in the Great Pyramid, which was a temple of initiation. There he experienced symbolic death and resurrection, preparing him for his literal death and resurrection in Jerusalem. These ancient teachings revealed to him that death is just a transition, not an end, and that consciousness survives beyond physical life.
The Kingdom of Heaven: A State of Consciousness
Jeshua taught that the kingdom of heaven is not a distant place to reach after death, but a state of consciousness we can achieve on earth. When we realize we are eternal souls having a human experience, we begin to see life through the eyes of Christ.
The Parables: Encoded Spiritual Lessons
The parables Jeshua shared were not just stories with moral lessons; they were encoded instructions for achieving higher states of consciousness. For example, the parable of the prodigal son illustrates the soul’s journey away from and back to divine consciousness over many lifetimes.
Prayer: Attuning to the Divine Within
Jeshua did not pray to an external God in the sky. Instead, his prayers were attunements to the divine presence within himself and all creation. When he taught his disciples to pray, “Our Father who art in heaven,” he was recognizing the divine presence within everyone. By saying, “Not my will, but thine be done,” he demonstrated the surrender of his personal ego to his divine soul—allowing Christ consciousness to guide his actions. This surrender was the secret to his spiritual power.
Christ Consciousness: Available to All
Christ is not simply the name of one person; it represents a level of consciousness that any soul can attain. Jeshua became the Christ by perfectly expressing divine love in human form, and his mission was to show all humanity how to achieve the same. He came not to be worshiped, but to be followed—as a way-shower, not an object of worship. His message was not “believe in me and be saved,” but rather, “learn what I learned, do what I do, and become what I have become.”
Being Born Again: An Ongoing Process
To be “born again” is not a one-time religious event, but an ongoing process of awakening to your divine nature and learning to express Christ consciousness in daily life. When Jeshua said, “follow me,” he was inviting people to walk the same spiritual path he did, not to worship him as the only Son of God.
Greater Works and a Spiritual Renaissance
Jeshua said, “Greater works than these shall you do,” knowing that once humanity understood the spiritual principles he demonstrated, we would be able to heal, transform, and evolve in ways we can hardly imagine. He foresaw a time when millions would achieve Christ consciousness, creating a spiritual renaissance that would transform civilization. In this coming age, the knowledge Jeshua taught in secret will become common understanding—reincarnation, spiritual healing, telepathy, and direct communion with the divine will be seen as natural, not supernatural.
The True Core of Jeshua’s Teaching
The central message was not about believing in Jeshua as a savior, but about awakening to your own divine nature. Jeshua came to remind humanity that we are all children of God, capable of expressing divine love and destined to return to conscious unity with our Creator.
The Shift Away from Mystical Teachings
The early Christian church gradually moved away from these mystical teachings, as they threatened the authority of organized religion. It was easier to control people by making them dependent on external authority than by teaching them how to access their own divine connection. As a result, many of Jeshua’s original teachings about reincarnation, meditation, and personal spiritual development were hidden or removed from the canonical Bible.
The Holy Spirit: The Christ Consciousness Within
The Holy Spirit is not a separate divine being, but the Christ consciousness that Jeshua attained—present within us all, helping every soul awaken to its divine nature.
Practicing Christ Consciousness Today
We do not have to wait until after death to experience the kingdom of heaven, nor do we need to depend on external authorities to connect with God. You can begin developing Christ consciousness now by following the spiritual disciplines Jeshua mastered:
- Meditation and Prayer: Practice daily meditation and prayer, not as requests to an external deity, but as attunement to the divine presence within you. Sit quietly, focus on your breath, and repeat “God is love” until you feel the presence awaken in your heart.
- Dream Study: Pay attention to your dreams, as God often communicates through dream consciousness. Jeshua received guidance this way during his preparation years.
- Unconditional Love: Practice unconditional love in all your relationships.
The Christ Consciousness Grid
Jeshua established a “Christ consciousness grid” around the earth—a spiritual network that any sincere seeker can access through prayer and meditation. When you pray in the name of Jeshua, you are connecting with this living Christ consciousness, which continues to guide humanity’s spiritual evolution.
Jeshua as the Way-Shower
Jeshua is not just a historical figure to be worshiped, but a way-shower demonstrating the potential within every soul. His greatest desire is not to be worshiped, but to see every soul awaken to its divine nature and realize its unity with the Creator.
