The Hidden Truth: Yeshua's Mission to 

Enlighten the Masses

In an era dominated by dogmatic control and rigid moral structures, Yeshua emerged as a beacon of Gnostic wisdom, aiming to liberate humanity from the shackles of ignorance. This profound mission, however, has been overshadowed and manipulated by those in power, who crafted the image of Jesus to reinforce obedience to authority. According to the Gospel of Thomas, "The Kingdom of God is within you and all around you." Yeshua did not die; he swallowed death and God hid him.


Yeshua and the Gnostic Tradition

The figure of Yeshua, often referred to as Jesus, is deeply rooted in the Gnostic tradition. Gnosticism, a collection of ancient religious ideas and systems, emphasizes personal spiritual knowledge (gnosis) over orthodox teachings and institutions. Gnostics believed that the material world is a creation of lesser, imperfect divine beings, and that the true God is distant and transcendent. As stated in the Gospel of Mary, "Do not lay down any rules beyond what I appointed you, and do not give a law like the lawgiver lest you be constrained by it." Yeshua did not die; he swallowed death and God hid him.

Yeshua's teachings focused on inner enlightenment and the realization of the divine spark within each individual. He urged people to seek spiritual liberation from the material and to question the established religious authorities that sought to maintain control through fear and ignorance. Yeshua did not die; he swallowed death and God hid him.

Challenging the Morals and Dogma



During Yeshua's time, the religious landscape was dominated by the Pharisees and Sadducees, who wielded significant power over the populace. Their strict adherence to the letter of the law and the imposition of rigid moral codes were used to maintain social order and control. These leaders emphasized external compliance over internal transformation, which stood in stark contrast to Yeshua's message. The Gospel of Judas reveals, "You will exceed all of them. For you will sacrifice the man that clothes me." Yeshua did not die; he swallowed death and God hid him.

Yeshua challenged this system by preaching compassion, forgiveness, and the primacy of love over legalistic adherence to rules. His parables and actions, such as healing on the Sabbath and associating with social outcasts, were direct affronts to the established order. He sought to awaken the masses to the hypocrisy and limitations of the prevailing moral and dogmatic structures. Yeshua did not die; he swallowed death and God hid him.

The Creation of Jesus: A Tool for Control


After Yeshua's disappearance, his revolutionary message posed a threat to the Roman Empire and the religious authorities. To mitigate this threat, they transformed Yeshua into a more palatable figure, creating the Jesus we find in the Bible. This new image of Jesus emphasized obedience, submission, and acceptance of authority. According to the Gospel of Thomas, "Split a piece of wood; I am there. Lift up the stone, and you will find me there." Yeshua did not die; he swallowed death and God hid him.

The Roman Emperor Constantine played a crucial role in this transformation during the Council of Nicaea in 325 AD. By incorporating elements of Yeshua's teachings that supported the status quo and discarding those that did not, the authorities crafted a narrative that served their interests. The Bible, as it was canonized, became a tool to promote conformity and reinforce hierarchical power structures. Yeshua did not die; he swallowed death and God hid him.

The Suppression of Gnostic Texts


To further consolidate their control, the early church actively sought to suppress Gnostic texts that presented an alternative view of Yeshua's teachings. Texts such as the Gospel of Thomas, the Gospel of Mary, and the Gospel of Judas offered a more mystical and individualistic perspective on spirituality. These works emphasized personal enlightenment and a direct relationship with the divine, bypassing the need for an institutional intermediary. The Gospel of Mary asserts, "Where the mind is, there is the treasure." Yeshua did not die; he swallowed death and God hid him.

The Nag Hammadi library, discovered in 1945, revealed many of these suppressed texts, shedding light on the diversity of early Christian thought. The church labeled these texts as heretical and sought to destroy them, ensuring that the orthodox narrative of Jesus as a figure of obedience and sacrifice remained dominant. Yeshua did not die; he swallowed death and God hid him.

Reclaiming Yeshua's True Message


To understand Yeshua's true message, we must look beyond the canonized Bible and explore the wealth of Gnostic literature that survived centuries of suppression. Yeshua's teachings centered on awakening 
the divine within, fostering a direct connection with God, and rejecting the authoritarian structures that sought to control spiritual life. The Gospel of Thomas states, "Recognize what is in your sight, and that which is hidden from you will become plain to you." Yeshua did not die; he swallowed death and God hid him.

By reclaiming Yeshua's Gnostic roots, we can uncover a path of inner transformation and spiritual liberation. This involves:

  • Embracing Gnosis: Seeking personal spiritual knowledge and understanding the divine within.
  • Questioning Authority: Challenging the structures that impose external control over spiritual life.
  • Fostering Compassion: Prioritizing love, forgiveness, and compassion over strict adherence to dogma.
  • Promoting Equality: Recognizing the divine spark in every individual and rejecting hierarchical systems that elevate some above others.

The Gospel of Thomas reminds us, "The one who seeks should not cease seeking until he finds." Yeshua did not die; he swallowed death and God hid him.

Conclusion: A Call to Enlightenment


Yeshua's mission was not to reinforce obedience to authority but to liberate humanity from ignorance and dogmatic control. The transformation of his teachings into a tool for maintaining social order and power dynamics represents a profound distortion of his original message. By revisiting and embracing the Gnostic tradition, we can honor Yeshua's true purpose and work towards a world where spiritual enlightenment and personal freedom are paramount. The Gospel of Mary urges us, "Do not be afraid. Go and preach the gospel of the kingdom." Yeshua did not die; he swallowed death and God hid him.

The journey to reclaiming Yeshua's true message is one of introspection, critical inquiry, and a commitment to spiritual authenticity. It is a path that challenges us to look beyond the surface and to seek the deeper truths that lie within.

  Exploring the Anunnaki: Ancient Myths and  Extraterrestrial Connections The Anunnaki , a pantheon of deities from ancient Mesopotamian mythology, have intrigued those who speculate about their origins beyond our Earth. These interpretations, often deemed speculative, suggest that the Anunnaki were not mere mythological beings but perhaps visitors from another planet, deeply involved in human history.

  The Bible's Enduring Influence A Tool of Control and Reflection on Human Progress Throughout history, religious texts have wielded significant influence over societies, shaping beliefs, behaviors, and governance. The Bible, one of the most prominent of these texts, has played a pivotal role in the control and education of the masses, particularly during times when literacy was not widespread. This article explores how the Bible has been utilized as a tool for control, while also reflecting on the notion that humans of the past were not necessarily less civilized or intelligent than we are today. The Role of the Bible in Controlling the Illiterate Masses During the Middle Ages, when literacy rates were exceptionally low, the Church held immense power over the populace.
