Mystical Christianity Questions lesson #2 from Robert Koenig

Mystical Christianity

Questions For the Heart and Mind

1. Imagine a Christianity without the influence of original sin and the fall. If we remove "fall/redemption theology" from Christianity, what is left and what can be put in its place?

Something where we see the world as the true 'Garden" and place kindness on the planet we live on, not tear it apart.  When man and woman work together as equals, and not feel that because of the 'fall' women have to be subject to the wiles of a man, but rather seen as equal, will we begin to see the garden once again. We can then strive to see God in us, and work together with our creator...rather than see we are "poor and miserable" and that women are responsible for this.

2. Explain the connection between the traditional understanding of the Genesis narratives and our ecological concerns for Mother Earth. Why are the two connected?

Genesis, and the human expulsion of the garden of Eden, show our uncaringness of the planet. We strive to return to the garden, yet we are living on it, just not in unity and certainly not  harmony. If men and women could find unity, perhaps we could learn to live on our planet better, find God in ourselves, and enjoy some peace. Mother Earth is waiting, and dying in our denial.

3. How do you react to the possibility, as theorized by Gregg Braden, that you carry the message "God Eternal within the body" in your genetic code?

It is not a new theory. Gnostics and Santeria religions feel the ideals of this. Perhaps Hare Krishnas, Buddhists too.  The Chakras in the body, similar in energy and power to the seven Orishas of Santeria.  Meditating is in a way, seeking your inner self. So if we all are related to Gods energy, why wouldn't some be inside us?  Eric's ideas are very comforting.

4. If this "God Code" is common to all humanity, how does it affect your understanding of current issues of world peace and justice?

As Patriarchal nations, we are like children saying what is mine is mine and yours is yours...or sometimes yours is mine! Money is the material God.. If we all could see we are here under the eyes of the all..God and Goddess..our creators, we could find unity somehow. It is our nature as nations to not. adding religion and having different ideals only separates us more.

5. Become the storyteller of your life and create your own creation mythology. What would your creation story feel, look and sound like?

The Divine Masculine and Feminine  created the Earth, and all of the Galaxy, creating male and female, they made them in their likeness. the union of both can lead to creation, giving the humans a power similar to their makers. a plentiful earth was made, and humans have the ability to make things grow and prosper...plenty for everyone.  We learn to share, appreciate and love everyone under our creator's sun and Moon, and learn to appreciate differences as well as similarities.
