Crucifixion in the bible is just a metaphor for ego death and enlightenment right?

I figured, I Just never seen anything in depth about how the crucifixion itself is a metaphor for shedding of ego. Its almost put in a way as to where it is fabricated to help whoevers learning about it to subconsciously apply it in their own lives. It seems more like an instruction manual for like a real time awakening or some shit lol. 

Adyashanti has a book called "Resurrecting Jesus", and he says exactly what you've been thinking here - that it can be interpreted as the final ego death. "Why have you forsaken me" is Jesus' ego talking, and it feels abandoned and afraid. Of course it does.

Great insights. 

Biblically speaking, the devil is an angel which refuses to be parallel with mankind, and therein lies the fear and misunderstanding, inherently within or of, ‘being the devil’. (Angels, are us, mankind, which aren’t being, the devil.) ‘Jesus already died for your sins is an ultra polite way of saying you’re being the devil (but you don’t have to be). 

When that (arrogance, pride, self image, judgement, manipulation, etc) is no longer the case, the ‘holy trinity’ is actually realized, as in literally seen (yet by no one), like a car, cloud, or tree, and was never (intended as) conceptual or metaphoric in the first place. 

@Adodd

There aren’t any Christians. That’s the mind untwisted, so to speak. “Let that shit go”. 

@Yarco

Canon = theory. That there is canon, is the theory that there is canon. A theory doesn’t have to be belief and conjecture. 

So @Nahm what are u actually saying mate? All I ever get from you is riddles! Do you think Jesus was a living human being or not?

@Dazgwny

lol. Not holding beliefs is the opposite of riddlerish. There’s no such thing as living human beings.
