They make Shiva the Snake of Eden.

Demiurge thinks he is God, but wants to make this unique.

He is with attributes, he won't shut up.

Very opinionated being.

Shiva simply shows the stream to the ocean.

The flow towards unity.

Understanding him is omniscience.

As apposed to conscience, which is confined.
 
Gnosis is of Union, Shiva.

As much as two hundred years prior to Christ, the Gnostics talked about the Messiah.

Then they decided to make one up because they got bored.

Now, this figure is made literal, and Gnostics who understood he wasn't are shunned.

Creation is a movement away from union.
Savior invites us back.

Shiva is the return, the result of repentance, the revelation.

Union.

Paradise is Shanti, bliss of union.

Prem is love of that.
 
It is also interesting that the Yogi and Zoroastrian texts have correlations.

This is especially interesting if we accept it is the environment of Abraham.

It is shown further by the "angels".

Two are sent to Sodom and Gomorrah.

Another battles with Jacob.

Devi means divine being, which fits for angels.

Yogi's are naturally wanderers.

The original is always incarnating Shiva.

They have become whole, a union.

They want to express that to benefit you.
 
It occurs to me some might not know he is called "Lord of Serpents".

Serpent is a representation of wisdom.

The Guru initiates sanyasi into wisdom.

We have these wisdom schools everywhere.

Shiva is the mystery, united can be known, but not as knowledge.

Every esoteric school is an expression of Yoga.

Scriptures are to keep the unprepared busy.

There is no point engaging, the texts can prepare, his devotion can prepare.

When the disciple is ready, the Guru is there.

Union happens as a consequence.

Om Shanti.
 
Wouldn't adopting a Hindu God automatically make them apostate?

Depends what you define as apostate.

For me, anything which isn't conducive to union is apostate.

I simply drop it, reject it.

Unnecessary imaginings.

Superstitions.
 
For me, Shiva isn't a Hindu God.

It is the principal of union, named.

That unity is the sole devotion of the Yogi.

Yoga is path towards union.

Shiva is its actualization.

Hence, the true Yogi is inseparable from Shiva.

Is Shiva, manifest.

Avatar of the unmanifest.

Existence continues out of love for shakti.

Her beauty, her radiance.

This maintains the Universe.

Without this love, life will cease.

Tryna "get my dick wet" isn't the same thing.

This is past-oriented, taking advantage gains you acceptance among male peers.

Your motive is not union, it is pleasure.

Hence, it is distorted.
 
I choose Yoga because the oldest known text contains it.

I choose Shiva because he is most inclusive.

Refusing to include yourself, you show you don't understand your preference.

If you are not God, then Jesus is not good news.

He shows you how you're incomplete.

This is not a reason for worship.

It is reason for sorrow.

Nothing is more depressing than one who cannot include himself.

That is maya, dreaming you're separate.

Every holy text is about you.

How can you exclude yourself from the whole?
 
He is called Adi Yogi, Adi Guru.
He is called Maheshvara, Mahadevi.

Brahma is the creator God, full of pride.
Hence, the Jew is the chosen people.
It is for ego, mind.

Vishnu is the savior God.
His incarnations remind man that union is possible.
Krishna is his principle savior.
Jesus is another rendition.

Shiva is the life of salvation.
Total union.

Without parts.
Without sin.
Pure.
 
According to your temperament, god is understood.

The Yogi is determined to know for himself.

Thus, he transforms into Shiva.

He becomes the union, knowing any less than unity isn't enough.

Many traditions make this something special.

In Yoga, there is no other point.
 
If you are ignorant to Yoga, the Yogi will look special.

Otherwise, he is just your potential.

It is manifest in him, he is conscious of it.
It is unmanifest in you, you are unconscious of it.

Not much difference.

It is so for both.

Just more messy through ignorance.
 
Why is it every time you speak I hear some cult leader telling everyone to drink the magic juice. And yelling "I AM THE MASTER!"

It is because you have grown up in a culture not conducive to this recognition.

It is not your fault, your religion has failed.

Is simply incompetent as far as a teaching.

Most Sufi's are uniting Yoga to Quranic verses.

The rest are accomplishing nothing.
 
Yoga has an annoying large number of divine beings... by some estimates, over 300 million.

Yet, that unity is uniformly upheld throughout.

Amazing.
 
I'm a Saivite Hindu. That should explain my view.

Not really, no.

I include things like Dattatreya's hymns.

Whether I cling to a Yogic Manifestation, I remain a yogi.

His goal is already crystallized in me.

My understanding is of that union, rather than what is said about it.
 
For me, this is the same as has caused every scripture.

A yogi has spoken and it is recorded.

His words aren't truth.

They are towards helping you realize truth.

They are attempts to arrive at union.
