The revealed religions are of special importance to us. Those religions, that trace back to one human being, that told other human beings, he or she had been bestowed upon a revelation by God, and who asks others mostly by threatening with eternal perdition to believe this very revelation. The revealed religions are quasi the top of the religions of the I, the ‘ego’.
Not only the God, who is said to have given a revelation, is an ‘I’, an ‘ego’. Also the revelator speaks as an ‘I’, that asks others to submit their ‘I’ to his. If we consider the matter impartially we notice the revelator to be only talking of himself und that the belief he is asking is the belief in him, the revelator.
Thus he also suggests at the very same time, God will under no circumstances bestow a similar revelation upon anyone else, that everybody else is excluded from a similar revelation and that God him/herself will abide by this revelation for all times to come. The revelator raises thus not only above his followers but also above the God revealed by him. That is why particularly the revealed religions require enlightenment and purgation.

Me and Master Jesus: Throughout my childhood I had a very intense relationship to Master Jesus and I never doubted his existence, for I was aware of his presence permanently. He was my one and true best friend and when I lay down to sleep, I used to talk to him and tell him all my troubles. And sometimes I actually felt him sitting down and listening or - when I was very sad or lonely - he lay down with me and comforted me. I was a boy and I loved my Jesus with all my heart, with all my soul, and with all my strength. If anyone then had told me: "Listen, he lived a long, long time ago, 2.000 years, and we have no traces of him, so we cannot really proof he existed…" I would have been very satisfied. No further questions asked. This would definitely not have interfered with my relationship to Master Jesus. But instead everybody (parents, teachers, preachers) talked of him as a certain historical person and those who knew (teachers, preachers) kept quiet from me, that there was more than reasonable doubt about his existence. Thus my trust was completely destroyed, shattered. I left the church (which in Germany you are allowed to do at the age of 14 because of the Canonic Law) Since than, 36 years have passed and still: there is not the least trace of a guy called Jesus in that region and time, or rather, there are too many as for one ‘Jesus (Jehoshua)’ was a very common name at that time, and second it seems that almost everybody then was standing on a barrel preaching… But: it is different for me now. That there is no proof of his existence does not proof his non-existence. He may have. Or not. Undoubtedly something strong happened there and is happening until today. Personally I am convinced one of the Great Masters of HUmanity lived then and there and may have been called Jesus and when you want to contact him: do not seek him in religion. He is right now in your heart. Once you find him there, you will know and still you can’t proof.
