Return to the Light Jesus in his time The Law of Sacrifice July 30, 1975 Bubba Free John Beezone edit 6/09 TERRY: How much can we believe about the message of
Jesus? BUBBA: It’s clear if you examine the evidence relative to
Jesus, most of it is not true. It doesn’t have much to do at
all with Jesus himself and the way he worked. Most of what
we have today is simply an expression of a theological and
mystical tradition that appeared in the early Christian
religion among the Semites and other followers in the Middle
East.. It’s an expression of that whole movement of
conventional seeking that has appeared in that part of the
world. Its basic message was the God or The Truth was to be
found in the return (remembering) realm of Light. Jesus himself was a particular kind of individual, a
Siddha. He worked with people in a very special kind of way
that’s not very well reflected in Western tradition. If you
examine all of the evidence, all of the fragments of reports
that have been dug up out of the ground lately and in
history in general you can gather how Jesus worked with
people. He would apparently select people personally or those
close to him, his disciples. His disciples would select
people who responded to their rap, or responded to his rap
and he would invite them to spend some time him his intimate
company. He would keep them in his house or whatever, close
by him, and he would concentrate upon them and generate
mystical experiences in them. While he was doing this he
would tell them what the experiences were about. He would
lead them to a certain perception of what they were
experiencing. He would lead them to relate to it in a
certain way, a certain conventional way. Well, basically it belonged to that whole realm of Middle
Eastern kind of mythology in which the game is this. At some
point beings fell out of the Pure Light dimension of
consciousness and descended or fell into this material
plane, fell out of the realm of Light. Having fallen out of
the Realm of Light the point was to return to it by either
work, belief, prayer and faith. Those who had these mystical experiences in Jesus’
presence were convinced by their experiences and his
arguments. And during the time they were having these
experiences they understood the Truth was in the realm of
Light and that they would return to the realm of Light, and
Jesus was from that realm. The realm of Light was Truth or
God and that the earth was a fallen domain. The earth and
various subltle and astral planes were utimately places
perhaps of a great wars between evil and good forces, the
force of Light and the forces of Darkness. These places were
ultimately to be rectified and judged by Divine Law. All of
those who had become sympathetic with the Light of Truth
would be drawn up into the subtle or astral world. Basically
that’s the mythology in which Jesus’ work appeared in the
Christian religion, the lands in which all of the Semitic
religions of Christianity, Judaism and Islam basically
appeared. In those traditions there is a distinction, an absolute
distinction, between the Divine and all beings, all souls.
Souls can be sympathetic with Darkness or with Light.
Depending on which you sympathize with, you enjoy or suffer
a destiny in the future based upon your actions and Divine
Providence. Well, this view of the world, however, is very childish
and very primitive. It doesn’t really have anything whatever
to do with this time. It’s not our experience basically in
this time. It’s an old story held on to by tradition. Today
we have other means for examining the nature of the material
and subtle worlds. We don’t have to divide it in such terms
and view the role of darkness in various ways, and see it in
it dualistically that way, see it as warfare and so forth,
none of that has anything to do with us. Jesus’ function
today is in the form of old mind forms and in the mythology
of the old archetypes for people today. People
psychologically are prone to it because they are
frightened. The great teachers have always communicated the necessity
of sacrifice in various ways. In the case of Jesus it was
the sacrifice of self, the sacrifice of one’s being in the
form of love and sacrificial acts toward others, toward the
Divine. In these terms he represented a communication of a
radical dharma in his time, the law is sacrifice. Also see: The
