If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved - Romans 10:9
Until now, the dominant teaching has been that Christ sits at the right hand of the Father. The right side is the side of order. It’s the side that says, “Judge not, lest ye be judged”, and warns against eating the forbidden fruit of duality and taking full ownership over discernment. Simplicity has benefits but too much order results in blindness.
Who sits at the left of the Father then? It is unoccupied. The reason why it is unoccupied is because Christ moves back and forth from each side. The left side is the side of eros and gnosis - the side of intuition. The danger of excess left sidedness is madness.
Much of the left side teaching has been hidden or suppressed since it is associated with increased chaos and we bias toward order. Jesus himself was careful with it, often burying it in parables and metaphor. Two thousand years ago it was too dangerous to reveal it fully. Presently, it is too dangerous for it to remain hidden.
For someone to move Christ to the other side, they have to first reject the side he is currently on for them. The idea that if we believe in and follow Christ, then we will be saved - it is true. For those people, there will be a “Second Coming”. However, this requires brutal honesty about what it means and what is required to follow Christ.
