Suffering is a flavor of energy given off and fed on by a variety of vampires/parasites/demons/etc. The more one gives off, the more it can be fed upon. Was Jesus' beatings, flagellation, scourging, and overall misery prior to his end, necessary as an offering or cost of/to some power that allowed him to do what he claimed? I think of the Jewish tradition of Kapparot, beating a chicken while reciting sins in order to transfer personal sins to the animal. Those sins must be paid for, as all equilibrium returns in on itself. Above/Below Within/Without Spiritual/Physical Earthly/Heavenly. The chicken could just have its head cut off bit the ritual is always preformed with the swinging over the head and a painful death.Pagans similarly with the slaughtering of animals as offerings to the Gods. Though in this case other types of offerings could be brought forth, so it wasn't as strict as other systems may be in the despair/pain aspect. Though I will double back to the Old Testament God (Yahweh/Yaldaboaoth/Whatever) who had, between Cain and Abel's offerings, chosen Abel's as honourable for it was meat harvested from the animals of the earth, thus a transfer of pain/sacrifice/life/loosh, over Cain's wheat which did not offer loosh as a result of a lack of suffering. Returning to Jesus, perhaps in his final acts to ensure all could be done as it had to be as he saw, that payment had to be made. Now one could say that He is/was as the Father and thus by that infinite source he could do anything without limitation.To which I would argue not as he, as flesh, would still be bound to our rules, even if he was Divinely Awakened. He was superhuman to be sure, but he forced himself to suffer in the desert without food and water, he accepted that he must suffer the wrath of the Pharisees at the hands of the Romans, before his death. It seems to me suffering is the offering. Giving up Loosh via suffering has a tremendous effect, but ti can come at the highest of costs
>>42158335Sin in the Greek means missing the mark. It is an archery term. The only notion of sin for the Grecco-Aryan is lack of skill (arete). The whole bad conscience thing is totally conjured by a wizard. You wouldn't feel guilty for missing a bull's eye. That's the Greek notion of sin, there is no other. On these terms Jesus is in utter sin because he is unskillful, and this is the parallel notion of Immorality in Buddhism (unskillfulness equates to sin in the Mahayana)
