If one wishes to be greater than me, all they have to do is show how they are greater.
Jesus, the Jews and I all believe in a Divine Council and the supremacy of man over the Gods.
I am a Gnostic Christian, but our beliefs are not what Christianity says they are. We lost the God wars and they distorted our belief system. The lies have been known since the findings of our scriptures and myths at Nag Hammadi.

Gnostic Christianity is a teaching system from Jesus but not the one the church ever dares to teach. It frees us from religion and that is of course not what religions want. They never want the student to graduate as they might lose revenue and people.
Here is a bit of history as well as a nutshell version of how that freedom is gained.
Gnostic Christians are perpetual seekers after God. God here I define as the best laws and rules to live life with.
We believe that those laws and rules, as Jesus said, are found in our minds/hearts. I use the following to try to illustrate this notion. A bit of history and then a mindset and method to do what I promote.

The thinking shown below is the Gnostic Christian’s goal as taught by Jesus but know that any belief can be internalized to activate your higher mind.

This method and mind set is how you become I am and brethren to Jesus, in the esoteric sense.

When you can name your God, I am, and mean yourself, you will begin to know the only God you will ever find. Becoming a God is to become more fully human and a brethren to Jesus.

I appreciate your honesty, and the links. I will read them.
I get what you are saying about religion , so many out there have used religion in a self righteous way or for their own
purposes and gain. They have turned people away from God as they feel if this is what a christian is ...forget it...
I understand where you are. Look at these jerks in politics trying to gain votes...pisses me off a lot..
This is not at all what a spiritual relationship with Jesus is..not at all.
Religion has been used since the beginning of time in wars, ect. to gain, money and power.
In our generation alone we will see the people using scripture for their own hatred, like Jerry Farwell saying 9/11 happened because of gays.. What a loser!
In 1992 Pat Robertson ( owner of the 700 club) started a christian ( name only) movement . He is a very political man who blinded so many with lies to sway them to vote a certain way . He uses his TV station to spread his agenda.
This movement opened the door to hatred of gays, drunks, well you know. Twisting the scriptures to fit their agenda.
So many are still blinded ...Hatred of satan runs out of their hearts, to gain money and power.
A personal relationship with Christ is nothing about that..It is called Personal because it is only between you and God.
The Holy spirit guiding your heart to love , we show others by our hearts, not with words of judgement . The bible is a guide to live by , not to hold it up in the air to judge others and make up their man made rules.
All you have to do is ask God to show you the truth and He will.
.
Thanks for this.
When you follow the links I gave you, google to the Vatican's painting of creation painted by Michelangelo. Note the background God sits in and see that it looks exactly like the right hemisphere of your brain. That is where God resides. While at the Vatican, note that the largest sculpture they own is of the pineal gland that is said to activate our third eye. Jesus uses the term single eye.
Now apply that to these quotes.
Matthew 6:22 The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.
John 14:23 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.
Luke 17:21 Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.
Romans 8:29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.
I hope all this work does not discourage you.
Let me know what you think.

The 1st time I read it, I was like..What??
And then I read it again, and let me know if I am right.
When the light of God touches our soul, a third eye opens up in our brain to the truth into the spiritual realm, lighting our spirit to see the miracle of Jesus, and it all makes sense, a whole new existence .
Where as when the eye is closed, so is our soul, and do stupid things using religion.
BTW: it is true how the eyes are the gate to the inner soul.
.
Not quite.
You, by seeking God, are the one who is activating your pineal gland and it activate your third eye. That can be seen as bringing your right hemisphere more in tune with the left hemisphere and then enlightenment takes place. You end in using your whole mind instead of just the one side. Both side are always in use but the activation of the pineal gland intensifies, if I can use that term, your thinking.
Your God, is not some outside force. Note how Michelangelo showed him. He is just your higher self waiting for you.
Look up the Father Complex that Jung and Freud wrote about. That father and what we are calling God here is the same entity.
There is no other unless you want to fall into supernatural belief and as the quotes I gave you of Jesus' sayings indicate, there is no such supernatural entity.
This is more of an Eastern Jesus and not the Roman ass kisser that Constantine created.
Jesus asked. Have ye forgotten that ye are Gods?--- in scripture.
Most of us have.

Ok I was seeing your point until you got to
He is just your higher self waiting for you. nah
I am an addiction counselor and have seen for years, if a person doesn't have a higher power..( for me God) and they put themselves as the higher power, or a door knob...They do not make it.
The addiction is also in the brain, into our unconscious once the brain has changed.
Keeping the conscious focused on recovery calms the obsession in time. It takes time because the dopamines are basically burnt out because of the drug use.
God grant me the serenity to except the things I can not change.. <<<<-----
So you would paint us all with the same brush as you use for burned out brain.
Ok.
Then you deny what Jesus himself taught and do a disservice to your charges by making them dependent on outside sources for recovery instead of their own minds which is where healing starts.
You are the last one I think I would ever seek treatment from.
