Jesus' Spiritual Prophecy of True Realness Resurrection?

 "Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; and that he was buried, 

and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures," (1 Corinthians 15:3-4).

This post continues the theme of: Jesus' Crucifixion Story of Crucified Falsehood? As I continue to explain why I think the words of Jesus' story were not meant to be read and believed? But perceived as a spiritual diagnosis of all humanity, and a story of crucified falsehood? Which I understand as the Ego-crucifying realization, about the false sense of realness, within reality-labeling words. Which is why I believe that Jesus' transfiguration, crucifixion, resurrection, and ascension stories, are not meant to be read literally, but "allegorically." 

If we want to understand the "hidden spiritual meaning that transcends the literal sense of a sacred text." By realizing how and why the "word-as-metaphor" meaning of the word spiritual is "breath," and the metaphorical meaning of the word "sin," is "to miss the mark" of reality? Which I believe is the spiritual truth of Jesus' comment: "Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand," (Matthew 13:13).

So what could be the hidden spiritual meaning and false realness within the written words of 1 Corinthians 15:3-4 above? Widely regarded as the earliest "textual-evidence" of the realness of Jesus' resurrection, which developed into what Christians call the Apostles' Creed. As a trinitarian belief in a God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit, faith in the reason why; "Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; and that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures." When we read Jesus' crucifixion & resurrection story, as allegories of the Ego-death that happens with the conscious realization of the false realness of words?

I mean has a 2000 year old faith in the words of scripture, actually missed the mark of Jesus' own faith, that his original-sin resolution story, would become experientially understood throughout the whole world? When he said: "And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come," (Matthew 24:14). An original-sin resolution end, that comes with the realization, of how we miss the mark of the "realness of reality," with reality-labeling words?

And miss the mark of Jesus' spiritual message about the daily experience of being human, and the daily importance of second awakening? As a realization that we miss the mark of reality, with the psychological-projection of our reality-labeling words? As we label the surface impressions of reality, received by the biological reality of our eyes? Committing a sin against the "realness" Mark of Reality?

Missing the Mark of Reality? With Reality-Labeling Words?

"Jesus began to preach, saying, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand',” (Matthew 4:17)

Jesus' Crucifixion Story of Crucified Falsehood?

 

"About the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, “Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?” 

that is to say, “My God, My God, why hast Thou forsaken Me?” (Matthew 27:46)

This post continues the idea that Jesus' story is about belief & truth on trial, as explored in: The Belief on Trial Truth of Jesus' Story? As I continue to explain why I think the words of Jesus' story were not meant to be read and believed? But perceived as a spiritual diagnosis of all humanity, and a story of crucified falsehood, also known as an experience of Ego-death? Which is what I intuitively see when looking at the iconic image of Jesus' cross-of-crucifixion. As I continue to explain why I believe that major storytelling tropes, like Jesus' transfiguration, crucifixion, resurrection, and ascension, are not meant to be read literally, but "allegorically." If we want to understand the "hidden spiritual meaning that transcends the literal sense of a sacred text." 

Like the "riddle-me-this" spiritual meaning of Jesus' famous cry from the cross; “My God, My God, why hast Thou forsaken Me?” Pointing out the simple spiritual truth, that God's reality, like every other form of reality is not a Word! Which I believe is the key to spiritual awakening. And I believe paradoxical statements like this one are examples of the allegorical nature of ancient storytelling, about our linguistic misconceptions of the true nature of reality. I mean; "is the true nature of your reality; WORDS?" And while Christians believe that without Jesus' resurrection there would be no Christianity. 

This post suggests that without Jesus' crucifixion story, there is no developing a "Christ-mind-awareness" of how true reality hides in plain sight? Because our commonsense vocabulary is not true reality? Commonsense vocabulary is created by the reified-reality nature of language, and language creates a false sense of self and reality. Which I believe is why we read Jesus' spiritually diagnostic statement about human common-sense: "Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand," (Matthew 13:13).

And I suggest that Jesus' crucifixion story is about a need to truly understand our linguistic sense of reality. And our need to develop the balanced form of consciousness, symbolized by Jesus' cross-of-crucifixion. While as an "allegorical-interpretation" of Jesus' crucifixion, this post explores the crucifixion as a radical spiritual truth about the falsehood of our "vocabulary-is-reality" dichotomy. 

Or how we confuse the communication purpose of words, with reality comprehension? As we conflate —mix together—the truth of the "sounds & symbols," nature of language, with the true nature of reality? Metaphorically crucifying the true nature of reality, because the feeling that we are defining the nature of reality with words, is an undeniable falsehood? Because truth be told, thought, spoken, and written words, are essentially metaphors. Please consider:

(Spoken and written words are essentially metaphors because they use arbitrary physical sounds or visual symbols to stand in for invisible thoughts, feelings, and objects. [1]

Why Words Are Metaphors

Symbolic mapping: A word is not the actual thing it represents. The word "tree" is a collection of sounds or letters that acts as a stand-in for a physical plant, much like a metaphor maps one idea onto another. [1, 2]
Abstract to concrete: Humans take abstract concepts (like time, justice, or love) and use language to treat them as if they were physical, graspable things. For instance, saying "I am grasping an idea" uses a physical action to describe a mental one. [1]
Cognitive foundations: Cognitive linguists like George Lakoff and Mark Johnson argue that human thought itself is fundamentally metaphorical. We understand new or intangible experiences by mapping them onto older, physical ones we already know. [1, 2]

Dead Metaphors in Daily Language

Lost imagery: Many everyday words started as vivid visual comparisons but became "dead metaphors" because people use them without thinking about the original image. [1, 2]
Historical examples: The word daisy comes from "day's eye" because the flower opens with the sun. The phrase time flies treats time as if it had wings. [1]) A Google AI Overview

The Belief on Trial Truth of Jesus' Story?

"And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world

 as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come," (Matthew 24:14).

This post continues with the notion of Jesus as a natural philosopher, and the "riddle-me-this" nature of "allegorical-storytelling." As I explore the "belief-on-trial" truth of Jesus' spiritual diagnosis of humanity's system's of belief. And why I believe the quotation above is a prophecy about the end of "perceptual-confusion" created by the linguistic nature of belief. When the story is read with an awareness of the way words describe & disguise reality and why the root meaning of the word, "Spirit is Breath." A personal awareness that helps to make natural sense of Jesus' story. In the context of the allegorical―having hidden spiritual meaning that transcends the literal sense of a sacred text―nature of the storytelling tropes. And why belief in a "two-worlds" mythology of existence, was most likely the historical reason for Jesus' teaching people how to "spiritually-diagnose" the nature of belief? Please consider:

The phrase "two worlds" in mythology usually refers to the universal dualistic concept dividing existence into a mortal physical realm and a supernatural spiritual or divine realm (often called the Otherworld). It can also describe specific creation myths featuring two opposing elemental realms.

And please contemplate the possibility that Jesus' trial is the crux―the most important part of a problem, issue, or argument―of the belief on trial truth of Jesus' story? As a story that allegorically questioned the truth of belief in a two worlds mythology of Gods and mortals? And that there is a spiritually diagnostic method within the dialectical ―method of questioning established thought―nature of the words describing Jesus' trial? That can be understood as an allegory of the "mind-torturing nature of truth," that will undoubtedly happen when you put our own belief on trial. 

As I ask you to contemplate whether the dialogue of Jesus' trial, demonstrates the kind of play on words, that belongs to the tradition of allegorical storytelling, like Plato's Allegory of the cave? And like me, you could ask your favorite AI; "could the story of Jesus be allegorical like Plato's cave?" And compare it to this introduction to footnote 1, which I hope you will also take the time to read:

Yes, the story of Jesus can absolutely be viewed as an allegory, and scholars, theologians, and philosophers have long noted the profound structural and spiritual parallels between the narratives of Jesus and Plato’s Allegory of the Cave.

Jesus' Trial? An Allegory of Our Words of Belief! Put on Trial?

About Jesus & the Storytelling Trope of Transfiguration?

 

This post continues the theme of this 2026 series, on understanding the historical purpose of the Jesus' story, and our speaking-species love of storytelling. And after the post: Jesus' Spiritual Rebirth Method? Within the Lord's Prayer? This post returns to the promise I made about understanding the "experiential-knowledge" purpose of subconscious storytelling tropes in: Jesus' Experiential Knowledge Methods & Teachings? Wherein I wrote:

In the context of the historical purpose of Jesus' story, please consider this historical philosophy of mind comment: "There is only one good, knowledge, and one evil, ignorance," ― Socrates. Compared to Jesus' words about our Father and evil, in his world famous Sermon on the Mount?

What are you feeling & thinking? About Socrates definition of good & evil? And the possibility that Jesus was a natural philosopher who taught people the experiential knowledge practices of an ancient wisdom tradition? A tradition that was already millennia old by the time of his birth? 

And what do you think of the idea, that the sworn to secrecy command of ancient mystery schools, explains the cryptic nature of biblical sayings and storytelling? While in the context of the previous post about the historical purpose of Jesus' story? 

Is it possible that the whole story is meant to be read and practiced, to gain experiential knowledge? Not just believed within the mind, but felt within the whole body? By physically experiencing the cryptically disguised method, within the storytelling tropes of transfiguration, crucifixion, resurrection, and ascension? So, in the context of "how" we can physically experience the "life-changing" subconscious intentions of historically famous storytelling tropes, like Jesus' transfiguration? First of all, please consider:

Jesus' Spiritual Rebirth Method? Within the Lord's Prayer?

 

"You shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free," (John 8:32)

This post continues the theme of: Jesus' Experiential Knowledge Methods & Teachings? And my simple truth about language that frees me from perceptual confusion, as promised in Jesus' historical prophecy: "And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come," (Matthew 24:14). And following the previous post's confession that: "for decades now, I have felt that Jesus' words; "Our Father which art in heaven" and "I and the Father are one," simply signify the reality of the Sun. And that Jesus was not actually a supernatural being, but arguably the most brilliant philosopher of mind, in human history."

This post explains how I personally experience the spiritual rebirth method within the Lord's prayer. As one of the "riddle-me-this" simple truth versions of Jesus' experiential knowledge methods & teachings. And how I experience an embodied sense of the notion that Jesus was a brilliant natural philosopher, trained in the ancient mystery school art of gaining experiential knowledge? 

As I try to convey the possibility that you too, can experience the "reality-reorienting" spiritual rebirth intention within the Lord's prayer. And come to know the simple truth that shall make you free, to paraphrase Jesus. Not freed from the behavioral nature of human immorality, that religiously minded people tend to believe i

s the obvious reason for Jesus' Sermon on the mount.

But free from the misconceptions of reality inherent in language, if you practice "thinking" the words below while feeling the warmth of the Sun, with your body. Will you come to feel the freedom from perceptual confusion, intention of Jesus' teaching of the Lord's prayer? Please consider with your intellect and body-wise contemplation, the "psycho-spiritual-rebirth" intention of these particular words:

"Our Father which art in heaven," (Luke 11:2-4).

Jesus' Experiential Knowledge Methods & Teachings?

Our Father which art in heaven . . . lead us not into temptation;

 but deliver us from evil," (Luke 11:2-4)

This post continues the theme of: The Historical Purpose of Jesus' Story? And my late-life efforts to understand the purpose and philosophy of mind, behind the story that was taught to me as literal history when I was a child. Because the older I get (74) the more I feel the generational nature of humanity's self-inflicted problems, and the "riddle-me-this" nature of ancient wisdom sayings and stories. 

And I still remember my father's phrase about the self-inflicted nature of problems in this life: "you're your own worst enemy, you are!" With the exclamation mark (!) meant to signify the anger toned nature of his voice, and the implicit―suggested but not communicated directly―meaning of "lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil?"

Because for decades now, I have felt that Jesus' words; "Our Father which art in heaven" and "I and the Father are one," simply signify the reality of the Sun. And that Jesus was not actually a supernatural being, but arguably the most brilliant philosopher of mind, in human history. And a philosopher of mind who was likely aware of the via-negative form of cognitive behavioral therapy, known as the Socratic method? 

And I feel he was most a likely graduate of an ancient mystery school system of teaching and practicing the embodied wisdom of experiential knowledge? And sworn to secrecy about the actual methods used within many ancient mystery schools. Please consider this intro to footnote 1:

Ancient mystery schools were private religious and philosophical institutions in the ancient Mediterranean and Near East where initiates underwent secret rituals to learn esoteric cosmic truths, experience spiritual rebirth, and secure personal salvation. The most prominent examples include the Eleusinian Mysteries of Greece, the Egyptian temple priesthoods, and the Mithraic Mysteries of the Roman world. A Google AI Overview

The Historical Purpose of Jesus' Story?

"And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world

as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come," (Matthew 24:14)

Like all the posts in this 2026 series of my personal efforts to make lived-experience sense of the story I raised with. This one continues the theme of The Jesus K.I.S.S. Truth That Sets You Free?  By exploring what history understands about the historical purpose of Jesus' story, and what the quotation above actually means. Because for a storytelling species like ours. I doubt whether even the most ardent Atheist would disagree with the notion, that the Jesus' story is the most intriguing story in human history. What do you think? True or false?

A question I ask because I was an ardent Atheist during my early adulthood, right up to age 28 when I experienced a profound sense of rebirth. Which cemented a felt-sense of curiosity and intrigue about the historical purpose of the Jesus' story. Because my experience of sensory rebirth touched the inborn nature of my intuition, and I've never been able to shake this off. Despite an obvious need to go along and get along with the "consensus-reality" beliefs of my character shaping culture. Please consider:

"Consensus reality is the generally agreed-upon set of beliefs, norms, and shared assumptions that a community or society accepts as real. It is a social construct rather than objective truth, dictating practical everyday agreements like the value of money, the measurement of time, and basic behavioral rules. 

While it acts as a pragmatic guide for social organization, it is highly dynamic. Individual perceptions and societal shifts constantly influence, and are influenced by, this overarching shared framework. Ultimately, this collective agreement is what holds communities together." A Google AI Overview

The Jesus K.I.S.S. Truth That Sets You Free?

 

"Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free," (John 8:32)

Like all the posts in this 2026 series of my personal efforts to make lived-experience sense of the story I raised with. This one continues the theme of Jesus Second Coming Allegory of the Perceptive Mind? Using the K.I.S.S. (keep it simple stupid) principle to circle back to the existential questions, asked in the first post in this series. About the personal development of: The Christ-Mind Awareness of a Simple Truth? A primal truth about human languages that arguably hides in plain sight? And an unseen truth about human behavior that arguably underpins the historical development of the Jesus story?

As I continue my efforts to understand and articulate the undeniable truths of the story, especially the universally applicable meaning of the word Christ. Which for me personally, after decades of exploring the light of 21st-century science revelations, so to speak. Has convinced me that the "anointed one" meaning of the word Christ, is universally applicable to the biologically anointed mind of we biologically conceived homo sapiens. 

And that the K.I.S.S nature of truth that sets each and every individual human being free is twofold. 1. A simple truth about the nature of language. 2. A simple truth about the subconsciously orchestrated and functionally automatic nature of human behavior. A simple truth about the reality of language and how it covers-up the primal nature of truth, we both see and don't see, to paraphrase Jesus. And a simple truth about human behavior that explains the historical development of the Jesus' story and the pragmatic reason for teaching people parables of awakening.

This is why I speak to them in parables: “Though seeing, they do not see; though hearing, they do not hear or understand, (Matthew 13:13).

So this post is about the pragmatic truth of why Jesus' taught parables, and the universally applicable meaning of the word Christ. Filtered through the K.I.S.S. Principle of keep it simple stupid, as the universal way we human beings derive our sense of truth and falsehood? With my increasingly firm belief that a twofold truth about being human underpins the story of Jesus. And a simple-truth that literally hides in plain sight, is one reason for the cryptic nature of Biblical verses. 

Jesus Second Coming Allegory of the Perceptive Mind?

"This Good News of the Kingdom will be preached in the whole world

for a testimony to all the nations, and then the end will come," (Matthew 24:14).

"And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and

the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea," (Revelation 21:1).

This post continues the theme of: Jesus Spiritual Diagnosis of Our Subconscious Reactivity? By asking the question, can the Christian idea of Jesus' second coming, be understood as a storytelling allegory of the perceptive mind? A second coming of the mind, all human beings can experience? If we realize the core reason for Jesus' teaching parables of awakening, and the twin purpose of the whole Jesus story? As a reality-wise oriented story about "how" the "sounds-like" nature of language, shapes our human politics of experience & perceptions of reality? 

Specifically; the universal way language makes human beings feel like we are more conscious of reality, than we actually are. And that this simple truth lies at the heart of his parables of awakening teachings, and his prophecy of an eventual end to our species perceptual confusion. As alluded to in the "good news" and the "new heaven and a new earth" quotations above, demonstrating the twin purpose of the Jesus' story? As 1. The politics of human experience? 2. The perception experience of being human?

The Historical Purpose of the Jesus Story?

This subheading section seeks to differentiate the public relations and personal experience aspects of the Jesus story, and its historical purpose as prophecy. As a "reality-wise" prophecy about our personal experience of perception, and our interpersonal politics of experience. Which in my experience has involved differentiating the biologically "receptive" and psychologically "projective" qualities of my human form of consciousness. And noticing how this process aligns with ancient reality-wise sayings and stories about being human, regardless of place or race. Which I firmly believe is clearly demonstrated in the biblical quotations above, when we understand the "sounds-like" nature of language.

Jesus Spiritual Diagnosis of Our Subconscious Reactivity?

This post continues the theme of: Jesus Spiritual Diagnosis of Our Semiconscious Reality? Which continued the existential theme of: Jesus Unpalatable Truth About Our Human Behavior? And involves the simple proposition that the recursive nature of human languages makes we humans feel like we are more conscious of reality, than we actually are. That this simple truth is the key to understanding the Jesus' story's understanding of the universal nature of our human predicament, and its practical advice for experiencing self-transcendence and a second coming of your mind. Especially the universally applicable advice: “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me," (Luke 9:23). And its cryptic, yet practical advice to self-cross-examine, the reality of our personal experience of being human, in my experience developed opinion.

After so many years of following the story told advice, (as this blog demonstrates) to notice the nature of cosmic truth, 3 times every day before the cock crows, so to speak. In my effort to self-transcend the rationalizing-reality nature of my experience conditioned mind, and its consensus-reality fallacy, of linguistic reification. Please consider with your intellect & body-wise contemplation, this intro to footnote 1 and read the footnote if you feel inclined:

Linguistic reification is the process of using language to treat an abstract concept—such as "justice," "society," or "fear"—as if it were a tangible, physical entity. It occurs when we turn dynamic, fluid processes into static "things" by giving them concrete nouns. Language naturally inclines toward reification, but it spans several different disciplines and contexts.

While in the context of Jesus spiritual diagnosis of our subconscious reactivity, please do the same with this intro to footnote 2:

Jesus offers a profound diagnosis of subconscious reactivity in Matthew 15:18-19, stating that "out of the heart come evil intentions". He teaches that our knee-jerk, unconscious reactions—like sudden anger, jealousy, or anxiety—are not random. Instead, they are the overflow of unhealed wounds and hidden motives stored in the inner life.

And please contemplate the possibility that subconscious reactivity is the universal nature of our human predicament? Beneath the experience conditioned nature of our reality-rationalizing minds? As you contemplate the truth or otherwise, of what Jesus is reported to have said about our subconscious reactivity:
