I Am Judas Poor Judas. Despised as the betrayer of Jesus, he gets no sympathy. On the fateful day when he sold out Jesus, Judas likely felt defrauded, deceived and angry. His creature comforts were left wanting, and he was fed up waiting for a place of importance in a kingdom that would never come. His lived experience deviated so far from his mental expectation of how life “should be” for a follower of Jesus, that his primary needs for control, security and approval were painfully frustrated.
Hello, Katie! I've been reprimanded before for bringing up my research when people are trying to get into the Easter spirit but ...
Judas the Sicariot (Iscariot transposed) was the leader of the zealot rebellion against the Roman Empire, who fought for the freedom of all the colonized and enslaved. He was also called the Nazarene, the Healer, the Galilean and the Christ. His partner was Zadok the Pharisee, also spelled Saduc, as in Sadducees, who rejected the rule of the priestly class who were the tax collectors for the empire.
The story of 'Jesus' was written under the Roman Empire after Jerusalem had been betrayed back into their hands. That traitor was Josephus, who was also the author of the gospels as shown by Joe Atwill in word order analysis and style comparisons that couldn't happen by chance.
The reason this is important isn't because we're believing the wrong story, it's because we're missing the right one. Judas's story defeated an empire. 'Jesus's' story says the empire will always win, because God is on the empire's side.
Those of us of an integral level of consciousness celebrate all that you so skillfully put into words here sistah!!!
There seem to be so many in our world who are still of “The Judas consciousness” where they feel “trapped in a hellish dream, surrounded by mental images of persecution, terror and poverty” and those people will wage war with themselves and the proverbial “other” until they evolve to see the truth of the “Oneness” and transcend dualistic thinking …each in there own time as we all are drops of God in the Ocean of God remembering just that and all evolving to the same Unity consciousness eventually …
