COSMIC AWARENESS:

"This Awareness indicates that for those who need proof of their beliefs, the story of the shroud can give them a feeling that proof has been supplied. In reality, this shroud was not that of the entity Jesus but was from another, that there were thousands of entities who were crucified during those times and that the crucifixion of the entity Jesus went unnoticed by most until the Roman empire, 300 and some years later, made the Christian religion its official religion.

For those who need a security blanket for one's beliefs let them have this. That there is no reason to dispute or become concerned about the authenticity of this for there are other issues in this universe, in this world, which are of much greater impact:

This Awareness refers to hunger, to starvation needs, to war and violence, and to the great urgencies which face this planet. ...This Awareness refers you to the great urgency of assisting those who are being misled so that they may learn Who, In Fact, They Really Are, and may become One with their Divine Creator rather than simply searching for a piece of cloth to bow to as a mediator between their God who is a mediator between another God.

This Awareness wishes you to assist others in discovering the basic need for relating directly to the Spirit which is within each entity, the Kingdom of Heaven which is within yourself.

This Awareness suggests that those who need this shroud are those who need the crutch. That you may have this crutch so long as you need this but this Awareness asks you to put away your crutch, to lift yourself up and to stand in your Divine Body...."

: From reader anon: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
: I am absolutely stunned to see this article's subject,
: namely, the Jewish researcher's picture.

: As a person Jewish by birth but early in life, taking Jesus
: Christ into my heart and later baptized, I grew up in
: Reform Judaism. I have had some exposure to Orthodox,
: Conservative, Jewish Renewal branches of Judaism. I have
: attended and been member at a handful of different
: churches, over many years. I am a generally literate and
: well-read, modern individual.

: I have never, I mean, never, NEVER, seen a Jewish man with the
: peaceful, serene face of this researcher. I am truly
: stunned upon seeing this new, brand new, and different face
: and attitude on this Jewish man.

: No haughtiness, no arrogance, no superior attitude.

: Complete openness. Peacefulness. Joy.

: These may be rare traits in general. But I have seen such here
: and there in my life.

: But not ever, EVER, on a Jewish person's face.

: A stunning article and picture. A testament to the truth of
: the Turin Shroud. And to Jesus Christ.

: P.S. His website https://www.shroud.com is factual, very
: complete, and inspiring through the highly documented
: facts. No pictures of Mr. Schwortz at all. Modest. Very
: sincere and impressive.
: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

: From reader C.: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
: It doesnt really matter if it is real or not. And its
: probably not possible to prove either way. The teachings
: are the only thing that are important. And those truths are
: hidden. Better to focus on that. The past and future are
: illusions that dont exist. You can only experience them
: with a train of thought. Living in the past and future
: keeps us locked in this matrix of illusion. The shround is
: a diversion.
: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

: MrF responds: I see your point, but there are those do not
: even believe Jesus existed, or even that there is a God.
: Anything that can make them reconsider their position is
: more than a diversion. That is why I post things like this
: and stories of inexplicable miracles, near death
: experiences, etc.

: From reader L.: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
: Hi Mr. F.
: Love the sentiment of this lady. Cobra's last interview
: addresses this and he says 13th or 14th century. He says,
: and who can argue this, every church, community, political
: figure, etc. wanted relics of Christianity. I don't know
: but that does make sense. Sure would love the Shroud to be
: true though.
: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

: MrF responds: I certainly don't take what Cobra says as gospel
: (and certainly not Gospel). I sometimes read Cobra, but
: most of what he says has to be handled very carefully, in
: my opinion. And, consider his chosen sobriquet. How far is
: "cobra" from "serpent"? I imagine he
: has a benign explanation for using this name, but it is
: what it is.
