What Is Jesus

What Is Jesus? (Not Who You Think)

In this conversation, we explore a deeper question than “Who was Jesus?” — we ask “What is Jesus?” Not as a historical figure from 2,000 years ago, but as a living presence of wisdom and love that can come alive in our own hearts and minds.

Using a powerful personal story, we look at how a sudden shift from attack to kindness reveals what Jesus really represents: a new mind and a new heart. This isn’t about religion or theology — it’s about an inner transformation where wisdom, compassion, and clarity replace fear, hatred, and guilt.

We unpack what A Course in Miracles calls the root problem of human suffering: the belief that we are separate from God. From that belief come loneliness, self-hatred, fear, and the constant attempt to fix our lives by controlling external circumstances — a game we can never win.

Rather than trying to change the world or other people, this talk shows how forgiveness is a shift in perception. When we stop blaming the outside world and ask for help seeing differently, we invite the wisdom of Jesus — the truth within us — to guide us home.

Key themes include:

Jesus as living wisdom and compassion, not a character in history

Why fixing external problems never brings peace

The “unholy trinity” of separation, guilt, and fear — and how it dissolves

Forgiveness as seeing the problem is in perception, not circumstances

How peace, kindness, and clarity naturally arise when we join with truth

This discussion points to a simple but radical idea: when we are not at peace, we are not seeing clearly — and seeing clearly is what sets us free.

If you’ve ever wondered how Jesus relates to your actual inner life, this conversation offers a gentle but profound re-framing.
