I finally “got” Jesus’ relationship to Sananda today and it led me as well to an interesting – and familiar – quandary.
I’d gotten his relationship intellectually already, but I now got it deeper.
You know how you keep reading accounts until the penny drops? It dropped for me in this passage from (St.) Matthew Ward:
“I shall tell you from whence Jesus came. The soul that eons later embodied as Jesus originated in the Christed realm, the cosmic realm closest to Creator, where the first souls, the archangels, came into being. At some point, they made the next angelic realm and the highest gods and goddesses.
“These souls were given the choice to remain as the pure love-light energy essence of Creator—that was the choice of the Supreme Being of this universe that many call God—or to incarnate. One of the souls that chose the latter is known in this universe as Sananda. This soul has had lifetimes in civilizations throughout the cosmos and is the ‘parent,’ or more properly, the cumulative soul of the person you know as Jesus.” (1)
OK, I get it now. Jesus is like the hand and Sananda is the body. Sananda is like the father of many children and Jesus is one of them. Something inside now clicked.
But, at the same time, reading what Matthew said re-awakened a decades-long quandary for me of trying to locate the things he describes on a conceptual map – trying to fashion new maps of heaven. And it’s really that unpredicted consequence I’d like to discuss.
There doesn’t seem to be a uniform terminology we can use so that all of us are on the same page – or map – when it comes to mapping the heavens. Let me illustrate.
“Jesus originated in the Christed realm.” The realm of Christ Consciousness is the Seventh Dimension but that’s not “the cosmic realm closest to Creator.” I found this duplication of terms initially confusing and I think others may as well.
I haven’t actually heard of the “Christed realm” before. So I don’t know what makes it a realm or anything else about it. Which is not an unusual position to be in, in “spiritual cartography.”
I don’t mean to say “the Christed realm” doesn’t exist. I’m sure it does. I’m pointing to the difficulty of knowing how and where to place it on our new map of heaven. Do we place it in the Transcendental? The Absolute? Neither?
If there is a “cosmic realm closest to Creator,” then there must be one or more cosmic realms a little less close. That means that there are levels even beyond the Twelve Dimensions of physicality.
It means that the Transcendental probably does have gradients. Eeek! How do I think of them? What words will I find to describe them?
The top of my head will explode if the Company of Heaven tells me there are gradients in the Absolute. I’m going to need a bigger basket to toss my obsolete theories in.
See where all this leads? It opens up whole new terrain, for sure. But do you see how we can’t really anchor to any old or new concept because our knowledge will probably either expand or explode as time progresses. It shows us how fast and far our conceptual horizons are expanding and promises that there’ll be much more.
I’d better stop here before I blow my own circuits. I’d do that if I went on to ask: Where are the angelic realms located in all this? Tilt.
Michael used to chide me for wanting to map the heavens. There’s probably a higher-dimensional way of knowing these things without reducing them to “maps.” When that comes along, I’ll happily surrender and archive what will have become primitive conceptual tools.
