Jesus’s Resurrection: A Beautiful Parable

I received a vision or deep insight 1 year ago that radically changed me

In deep meditation I suddenly was transported to a desert in the middle east. The Buddha and I meditating while watching Jesus dying on the cross. I could feel the sun and wind as if I was literally there 2000 years ago. Buddha asked me a simple question, what can you learn from this? I open my eyes and see Jesus die and resurrect. A deep insight touched my consciousness as healing tears roll down my face.

The more I surrender to God’s infinite source of love, the more I’m resurrected in the image of Jesus

The story we are told by most Christians is that Jesus died for our sins and that he literally resurrected. I’m not here to uplift this tightly held belief but to add a more deep and healing interpretation of those events. Even if I don’t believe what they believe, I will give them grace and love.

To be a follower of Christ we don’t need to believe in creationism, literally resurrection, or any dogma from the church. All we need is to look within our heart and open it to unconditional love, then you will know Christ deeply. Still your mind through the breath and open your heart to love.

This is not my opinion or belief but of my personal spiritual experience.

Not an act of faith but the ultimate dimension behind the suffering of the world.

So to surrender to God is just to let go of all self centeredness like greed, hatred, and fear.

To allow this infinite source of love transform us.

Jesus spoke in parables and God speaks to me in parables, so could Jesus’s resurrection be a parable as well? A beautiful parable that is practical, logical but able to heal people right here and now on this planet.

Meditate on this and let the infinite source of unconditional love heal you from the inside.

The way out is within you. 🙏🏻

With love,

Prayer of Emptiness

May I empty myself to you God

So you can fill me with your divine love

May I empty myself of all self centered ideas

So you can fill me with your divine grace and humility

May I empty myself of all hatred, fear and greed

So you fill me with your infinite compassion

I empty myself to you God

I surrender to your unconditional love

Letting Go of Old Identities

Today I fully let go of my old identity

I stand today liberated from any attachments to who I once was

I am reborn today

I am not a gambler

I am not a party boy

I am not a ladies man

God has granted me a new identity

A path of love

A path of compassion and forgiveness

My new identity is of a peaceful warrior

I am a poet

I am an adventurer into the unknown

I am a mystic

A follower of God’s unconditional love

Thank you, thank you 🙏

With love,

Johnny

Within Your Heart

Burn down all churches, temples and mosques

Burn down all holy books

But don’t burn down the human heart!

That’s where God is

The seed of true unconditional love is within us

This seed is patiently waiting to be watered but we must still our minds first

In stillness the holy spirit can transform us

But only if our heart is open to unconditional love

The Revolutionary Message of Jesus

Jesus was a revolutionary
A revolutionary of unconditional love
Of radical peace
Anyone who speaks his name through the lens of fear, hatred or greed does not know his way

Jesus’s way is of the peaceful warrior
He knew that only unconditional love can bring peace to the world

Fear and violence will only continue our own suffering
Only unconditional love can save us
It can liberate us from all self-centeredness
His way can free us from the shackles of greed, hatred and fear
Resurrection is possible if we surrender as he did on the cross

We can be reborn each moment if we follow his way

We don’t need to be a Christian to follow Jesus’s message of unconditional love for all living beings

We only need to have an open mind and a compassionate heart

With love,

Question Everything

Question this blog post, leaders, religion, philosophy etc

Question everything and everyone

Question not with hatred

Question not to prove others wrong or you right

Question everything with a childlike curiosity

Is this true to you in our daily life?

Is it practical or possible?

Will this bring peace and love to ourselves and all living beings?

Let go of all bias and dogmas

Question everything with curiosity to find out the truth for yourself in your day to day lives

Most importantly, question yourself

Question your own beliefs and behaviors in the world and where they stem from

Are they serving you and others around you?

You might find out that most of your beliefs and opinions are from your parents, culture or government

They might be outdated or not helpful to you anymore

With love,

Keep Your Eyes on God

On the spiritual path there are many obstacles diverting us off towards pleasure, money, or fame

Each time our eyes divert from God we must return them

If we can keep our eyes on our family, friends, coworkers, jobs, bank account, shopping, food, or pets we will be diverted off the path towards God.

We will be lost and afraid in the woods

Not knowing which way to go and suffer tremendously

It takes tremendous conviction to keep going on this path

But the rewards of inner peace, serenity and complete liberation are more precious than diamonds

The path towards God is liberation from all greed, hatred and fear

God brings many the gift of unconditional love which liberates us from all self-centeredness and fear

If we keep our eyes on God we have nothing to fear and our days will be filled more and more with love, joy, and inner peace

With love,

The Religion of Unconditional Love

My religion is brother and sister hood of all  beings

Our philosophy is unconditional love

Our goal is to bring peace within and around us through our actions each moment

We do not convert or force our views

We just keep our eyes on unconditional love

This is the philosophy of Jesus or Buddha without religious dogma or complex beliefs

We seek to build bridges instead of barriers to enter the Kingdom of God (unconditional love)

Anyone can join

Your brother,

Johnny Hoffman
