Why I carry the cross of not suffering, but of harmony and Love of God.
In November 2024, I bought an old gold 5 cm high cross necklace at a pawn shop, even though I am not a Christian. I wear it with great joy and consider it my ornament, talisman and protective mystical object. To that end, I would like to explain how I feel about the symbol of the cross. I disagree with its misuse by some misguided Christians, especially Catholics, who cling to the cross, in their ignorance, because of suffering. By means of great auto-suggestive telepathic power they invoke suffering, misery and illness into their lives from the astral plane. For God grants them what they unconsciously desire and focus on spiritually. Auto-suggestion is a great force that can materialize. My Master Paramhans Swami Maheshwarananda, who is of absolute clairvoyance as far as the astral is concerned, warned us to take Jesus off the cross and to no longer let Him suffer. This suffering of Jesus is evoked and wished to be evoked by many monks of the Catholic Church. They say they proclaim Jesus crucified and his cross, and then they are always struggling with something, suffering in some way, to the point of stigmatization for those most advanced on the Journey of Suffering. This is how it works. I refuse to follow this, because it is completely unnecessary. Yet, after many years of rejection, I chose the cross as my symbol in this Christian, or supposedly Christian, country. For it is a divine, universally intelligible and valid sign that I belong to God. I cannot explain why I chose this gold cross to wear with my cowl. It really should not be abused at all, though. My golden cross is the symbol of Victory over this world and its temptations. It is “death” to this world of resentment, hatred, anger, slander, etc. My visibly worn cross is also a mockery to all apostates from the faith in God. I believe that truly faithful Christians will be pleased with this symbol on my orange Hindu vestment. It is therefore a cross of inter-religious tolerance. I am still close to Jesus in my heart, it has been so since I was a child. And I still consider myself his disciple, although I have never considered myself a Christian by divine providence. I hope you will understand me, because I still adhere to Jesus in this way, especially to the mystical Jesus. In the past, my love for Him was somewhat suppressed and blocked when I became a Hindu and a yogi. That is what I want to rectify now, which is why I wear the cross on a silver chain, which is not of suffering, but of the higher Love, Harmony and Mercy. But do not imitate me if you do not have the inner prerequisites that I have, obtained, for example, from a long study of the Bible and a true commitment according to St. Francis of Assisi. You could really hurt yourself otherwise. In love and respect for all Christians who, in a non-fanatical and tolerant way, worship Jesus as their personal Saviour, Master and Lord.
