✨Parables, Not Performances: Seeing the Healings of Jesus as Invitations to Awaken
Share on FacebookShare on Bluesky

Intro

What if the healing miracles of Jesus were never meant to be taken literally — but understood as spiritual parables for our own awakening?

Another Layer of Light

The Reflection

Jesus taught in parables. Stories layered with meaning, truth disguised in simplicity. So why do we treat his miracles — his healings — like magic tricks?

The blind man sees.
The deaf hear.
The paralyzed walks.
The dead rise.

But these are not performances — they are parables.
They are not stories of physical healing, but spiritual awakening.

The blind represent those who cannot see truth.
The deaf — those who will not hear their soul.
The lame — those paralyzed by fear, shame, or trauma.
The possessed — those tormented by inner darkness.

And Jesus? He doesn’t just fix them — he frees them.
Not just from affliction, but from illusion.

But here’s the danger:
By taking these teachings literally, we’ve opened the door to counterfeit prophets.

Men who mimic miracles for money.
Women who sell sacred oils as holy cures.
Churches built on spectacles, not Spirit.
Fake healers who cry “faith” as they empty your wallet and poison your soul.

We forgot the lesson. We focused on the act, not the meaning.
And in that forgetting, we gave power to liars in robes.


The Gnostic Protection

Gnosis protects us. It awakens us to meaning, not magic.

Jesus wasn’t here to build a brand — he was here to spark something within us.
Not just to heal bodies, but to ignite souls.
Not to make us followers — but to call us home.

He said:

“He who has ears, let him hear.”
“The Kingdom is within you.”
“Greater things than these shall you do.”

That’s not a show.
That’s an invitation.


What This Teaches Us

The miracles were never about him. They were about us.

When we realize that, we stop looking for magic hands and start using our own.
We stop buying lies and start seeking truth.
We stop idolizing power and start embodying love.

The blind can now see —
Because they finally understand.


Final Insight

False prophets need you to stay asleep.
Literalism keeps you blind.
But Gnosis… Gnosis wakes you up.

When you read the stories of Jesus not as history, but as inner mystery — you reclaim your power.
You become the healed.
You become the healer.
You become the spark.


Closing

Ask yourself:
Are you waiting to be healed…
…or are you ready to awaken?

“You carry the divine spark — let it speak.”
“Cannabis reveals, it doesn’t hide. Use it to face your truth.”
“Gnosis begins when we are honest — with ourselves and each other.”

Rev. Dr. Robert Anderson is the founder of The Cannabis Church of Science and Faith and the creator and editor-in-chief of Cave News Times—a bold platform for independent thought, critical inquiry, and spiritual and societal evolution.A doctor of divinity, veteran, retired correctional officer, devoted husband, and father of four, Rev. Anderson brings a rare and authentic voice to the intersection of faith, reason, and lived experience.His life journey has been anything but conventional:🎖️ Veteran who served his country and later worked inside the justice system as a correctional officer, only to later question the very institutions he once upheld.🧬 Spiritual rebel living with Parkinson’s and dystonia, whose vulnerability and strength shine through in every word he writes.💍 Husband to a woman who helped him rediscover the feminine spirit within himself and the sacred energy we’ve been taught to suppress.👨‍👧 Father to three sons and a daughter, all of whom shape his vision for a world that truly honors love, equality, and justice.At the heart of his work is a spark—a reminder that we are all more than what society has allowed us to be. He challenges religious hypocrisy, uplifts the radical teachings of love and liberation found in Jesus’ words, and uses cannabis not as escape, but as sacrament—a divine tool for healing, reflection, and awakening.“God may be real, but religion is man’s story about it.”Through both Cannafaith.org and CaveNewsTimes.com, Rev. Anderson invites us to question everything, seek truth boldly, and believe in a better way forward—together.🌿 Visit www.cannafaith.org to follow his weekly teachings. 🗞️ Explore bold journalism and cultural commentary at www.cavenewstimes.com 📬 Contact: rev@cannafaith.org
