About Unity, Communism, and Self-Annullment

Who has the authority to lead and to preach? Does it come from a religion, a teacher, an institution, lineage, etc.? It is a good question. Did Jesus have the permission from humans to teach and to lead? Not at all, as the New Testament is telling us. But from where can we really see that a teacher or prophet is sent by God? 

The right wisdom and leadership will bring about good fruits in a community. The community is only as strong as its head. Often it is not always ideal to support a system of politics that may be in alignment with our ideas when the leadership of it fails. Jesus told his disciples that they should listen to the words of the Pharisees but should not act as they do. They sit in the seats of Moses, they speak the right words of wisdom, but they're busy with preaching water while secretly pouring wine for each other. And when they have finished the education of their disciples, they have cared for, they will deserve hell twice as much as them (Matthew 23:15).

When the fish smells from the head, the entire body will be flawed. Entire Christianity was led into corruption because its wisdom was spread to parts of the world where they were too far away to have right-leading personas to keep their disciples on the right track. And so Christianity has turned into a pagan religion of idol worship, which in its darkest times led to the killing of millions. 

The earliest Christian communities were a role model of an ideal communist society. Everyone shared everything with each other. This becomes very ironic when we see how most Christians today are busy with supporting a narcissist as a political leader. Qualities of the heart will express themselves through words and actions. We always must ask ourselves, is a leader bringing good fruits from his lips and hands? Of course, sometimes even Jesus offended the scribes in the most cruel manner. But this is only out of love. When the world would accept someone like Jesus as its leader, world peace would have already happened. But the world cannot accept someone who is coming from this other world. Because everything that comes from beyond is an outrage for our egoism. Jesus was pure awareness—pure consciousness, and as long as he was among us, "eat and drink from my pure being" (John 6:54).

The Apostle Paul said to his disciples that you're not yet ready for the meat that I want to share with you, but only for the milk. Because you're all foolish in your own ways. Instead of being one body of Christ, there's only quarrel and conflict among you. Instead of coming together to honor the body of the Messiah, you use such events for gluttony and drunkenness. That's why I have come not with deep wisdom to you, but only with the message of the death of the Messiah (1 Corinthians 2:2). You're giving your bodies to the urges of your old sinful nature that you should have already overcome. Instead of acting as one body in unity, there are power plays among you, caused by envy and jealousy.

Whoever wants to be the greatest among you should seek to serve you (Matthew 20:26). Whoever wants to be leader, let him be servant (Matthew 20:27). You cannot become a master before you have learned to be a student. You have only one master, and it is the Messiah (Matthew 23:10), but all of you are brothers (Matthew 23:8). The Messiah will be the one who is turning the world upside down; if anyone else were to succeed in this way, we wouldn't need the Messiah.
