I was brought up in an atheistic culture. No god, no Jesus Christ. Only Sir Charles Darwin and his infamous thesis On the Origin of Species. Survival of the fittest. In addition, there were philosophers of materialism, and of course the Science. Science as an opposite to Religion.
Among all this absurdity, accepting it as the means of fitting in seemed the only solution, and fit I tried for many years. Only to see this system of belief crush one day when realization that the God exists came down as a shock wave.
When the dust settled, sense of not belonging came in. After all, one has to believe in something, right? If the atheism system failed, then the opposite should be true. Religion must the safe heaven for a lonely soul.
Serving one true God in the hope of salvation. Putting this God above all other gods. The rules were tough but what did you expect, an easy life? Trying to fit in, again and again, facing the old absurdity wear a new mask. Hitting the wall of limitations. Thou Shalt Not…
When the Religion system crushed too, it went easier. With each subsequent dissolution of belief, more freedom was coming in. When looking back I realized the best moments of my life were those when belief systems crushed leaving what seemed like vacuum behind – but maybe it wasn’t a vacuum? Maybe it was a not yet recognized simple joy of being?
Why not live in this state forever? What drives us to adopt belief systems instead?
I know the day will come when our mind breaks free from limitations of structured beliefs. That day is when we finally awaken from the Matrix.

Just like in Egypt of old, lightness of heart is still an issue today, and even more so considering constant stress and race for survival. Life is a lot crazier these days and heart is heavier than in those, simpler times.
What if we lived in a land of abundance where soil is rich and crops are plenty, where there are no wars and sheep rests next to a lion? I bet our hearts would be lighter than now.
Let’s then wait till better future arrives… or maybe just give up? I think, neither. Let’s manifest a better life. We all are sparks of Divinity with full power to create what we want.
Book a session for help in manifesting your desires. We’ll work on it together!

Thou shalt not kill, thou shalt not steal, thou shalt not commit adultery – just to name a few.
Ever since birth, we are bombarded with rules, teachings, and opinions suggesting we are so far away from perfection we must better ourselves or be damned. What “better” means is determined by the mind, because it’s through the mind that all the “values” land in our consciousness.
Little children don’t yet perceive all complexities of life but their minds are ready to be shaped. Should we shape them in our image and likeness? Or should we look at ourselves critically and ponder on whether our own upbringing is worth being replicated, over and over again?
What if all people were created perfect, and this perfection was meant to be uncovered through the inner knowledge of the Heart? Doesn’t all imposed dogma drive this inner knowledge to the background and rewire our minds to think we are inherently sinful?
The key is in connecting with our true nature which is Divinity, and Divinity is perfect. Only through Divine help can we move up the ladder of spiritual evolution, and encourage our children to follow.
]]>These events take place 550 day after the Crucifixion, where Christ returns while the apostles write down what they remember of his earlier teachings.
Apparently disappointed at his disciples’ lack of understanding, Jesus singles out James and Peter, in the hope of “filling them” with Knowledge.
James is receptive, however Peter isn’t.
James is in line with a mystical Gnostic tradition recognizing that no intermediary is needed to achieve salvation. Peter represents the views of the emerging Church.
Interestingly, it was Peter along with Paul, who later became the most significant figures in what we now know as Christianity.
James lead the Church in Jerusalem until his death.
Although James, Peter, and Paul are considered the three pillars of Christianity, the Church later changed direction, recognizing and eventually becoming an intermediary between God and Man, thus opposing the original message of Jesus.
Why didn’t Gnosticism become a basis of today’s worship?
What kind of world would we have if Jesus’s genuine teachings took root, and there was no intermediary between God and Man?
