Because it implies something huge:
It was a demonstration of what humans could become.
A Shocking Claim: The Mind as ‘Spiritual Gravity’
Then comes the detail that reads like a psychological bomb.
In these Ethiopian-style teachings, the mind isn’t just a place thoughts happen.
It’s a force.
A rudder.
Jesus allegedly explains that what weighs you down after death is not a demon with chains — it’s your attachment to the world.
Your fear. Your anger. Your greed. Your obsession.
The texts frame it almost like gravity:
Dense souls can’t rise.
That’s not how most people picture Heaven and Hell.
That’s not a courtroom.
That’s physics.
That’s cause and effect.
Jesus reportedly tells them the teachings before his death were “milk,” but now, after the Resurrection, he’s giving them “solid food” — deeper instruction meant for those who can handle it.

And suddenly you realize why such a teaching would be dangerous.
Because if people believed salvation wasn’t just “obey the institution,” but “unlock the light within,” then the entire power structure changes.

In the Western tradition, afterlife imagery is often simple: Heaven, Hell, judgment, angels.
But in the version you shared — framed through Ethiopian apocryphal imagination — the afterlife is described like a vast layered territory, with multiple “stations” the soul must move through.
Not one gate.
A sequence.
A journey.
A kind of cosmic highway, each level guarded by “Keepers” — not cute angels, but intimidating intelligences that challenge the soul’s readiness.
These beings are described less like moral judges and more like filters.
If you’re still vibrating in fear, you cannot pass.
If you’re trapped in anger, you cannot pass.
It’s not punishment.
It’s incompatibility — like trying to enter a higher frequency while carrying lower weight.
A philosopher of religion might say:
