“Speech extract from "Jesus: His Religion" by Alan Watts, courtesy of https://alanwatts.org”
This summarised lecture by Alan Watts is from the Alan Watts Library at https://alanwatts.org.

The image of Jesus is owned by the church traditions and authorities. He has been moulded to fit the interests of the church patriarchs for centuries, so much so that the prevailing image of Jesus is now so far removed from what he truly represented.
Namely an energy from the future who came to earth to bring illumination and knowledge to humanity.

The reason why the Jesus/Jeshua personality came to earth was to create an opening or doorway to a different state of consciousness.
He wanted to set an example of the possibilities that are available to each human being. He wanted to hold up a mirror to human beings and remind them of their own divine origin and the dormant potentials they carried within.
The potentials for peace, freedom and mastership over oneself.

Most Christians don’t learn anything about the earliest Christian history.
Those who do, typically learn a canned narrative telling you how the church of popes and martyrs won out against external enemies (called “pagans”) and internal enemies (called “heretics”).

It’s time to stop ignoring the creators of early Christianity. It’s time to stop
marginalizing figures whose life and thought is so helpful for developing an authentic and philosophically-informed spirituality today. It’s time to embrace the heretics as the true fathers and mothers of a spiritual assembly. If Jesus spoke to the poor and the outcast, he spoke to heretics.

What united these figures? One simple thing: gnosis. Gnosis is not
information, it is deep knowledge, redeeming knowledge, transformative
learning. Christians who preached secret knowledge were called gnostics. In some cases, they called themselves gnostics. In others, they were called gnostics by their enemies.

A gnostic is a knower—a person who takes faith and transmutes it into spiritual knowledge. They stated reasons for their faith, and spoke in terms that transcended normal rationality. They were not afraid to speak against the majority, or to be countercultural. In being disruptive and radical, they followed the pattern set by Jesus himself.

In this episode, Megan and Bart discuss the "origin of the canon," meaning: who chose the books that made it into the Bible, and why did they choose these 27?" They address related issues, such as:

-books, letters, and gospels that were considered authoritative by some early Christians, but were ultimately rejected on one basis or another

-early New Testament manuscripts that actually DO contain some rejected texts

-criteria that were used to determine which texts to include

-proto-orthodox church fathers and their influence

-what information early church fathers did--and did not--have to base their decisions on

If you're wondering why I didn't mention the New Testament events in Acts, after the Ascension, it's because I've covered it in my Church history video. For a sequel to this, watch my "History of the entire Church, i guess" video:
