Yes, the Higher Self is synonymous with the Soul of esotericism in the Ageless Wisdom traditions. And the Soul is the vehicle for Spirit, or Monad, in the same way as persona is vehicle for Soul, with the physical body as upadhi for the Trinity, the Synthesis of these three. Otherwise, Christ's...

Nor did ol' Taijasi say anything like "I'm the only one with the answers." I merely said, that YOU don't have them. And of course, those who DO know, know THAT! :rolleyes:

Was Jesus a Buddhist? Why not ask him? Verily, those who wish to hear from the Master's lips shall even do so. Perhaps the answer comes in just such proportion as the earnest desire to hear the TRUE answer, and this, not for the satisfaction of one's idle curiosity, but that we may better...

Let's go back about 6 or 7 years and to the OP, since the current discussion has NOTHING to do with what this thread is about ... or about Jesus Christ, the real story. Yes, there may have been some sort of historical Jesus ~ as a namesake, a latterday Good guy ~ who wanted us to remember [or...

But yes, God does need us too ... and anyone who can't recognize this yet knows neither self, nor other, nor God ~ nor much. What will YOU do for God, today? Not someone else's *ideas* about God, or because of those, or despite those. But YOUR God. How will you Serve, today? Not aware...

Most of the problems arise with our *conceptions* of God, certainly not vice versa. In our human mind and experience, we rate ourselves ontologically superior to God, despite what we are taught by those who are more experienced than ourselves ... including those who have provided us with Holy...

So ... how about a link, then, to some sort of Laotian dolphin from the Pleiades? "Let none ignorant of geometry enter here. ~ Plato Jesus was hip to Plato. And he knew the S*N outside of the Cave, too. Strange, how only some of us believe him!

Perhaps, knowing it to be True, Buddha Shakyamuni taught that speculation is fruitless on something which is utterly beyond the ken of both Humans and Buddhas. This is like asking who shot the poisoned arrow, which clan he is from, where he grew up, where he obtained the poison, how he...

Yep ... a wonderful point of connection between East and West, Earth and other planets, Cosmos manifest and `the Eternal Tao.' :)

Personally, I'm very much for decriminalization ... though I believe there needs to be very careful regulation, in order to protect children and those who have a proven history of substance abuse ~ or psychological addictions which prove harmful to self or others. ;) :p

Indeed! Living Buddha, Living Christ 10th Anniversary Edition: Thich Nhat Hanh, Elaine Pagels: 9781594482397: Amazon.com: Books

And you're certain about this?

Let us say a baby is conceived [as always, via the SAME natural process] around ~ the Vernal Equinox, March 21st. Tell me, Aupmanyav, WHEN will that same baby be born ... approximately? What will be the expected DUE DATE, for DELIVERY of that child? Thank you, thank you. No autographs...

As a Christian who knows how to think outside the box ... and one who greatly deplores the dripping-red icon which Roman Catholics especially love to hang about their place as an effigy ... I see Christ Jesus the way most people of other religions in the world see Him: Like so many, I regard...

Consider: Ah, truly adepts were they in the art of self-deceiving and self-excusing, and in the fashioning of grandiloquent phrases of self-justification. Into a fraternity did these lusters after Power form themselves, ay, into a brotherhood for the destruction of brotherhood. And in that...

"There is no G*d but G*d!" ~ Thus have I heard.

A person can rationalize anything, if only the mind is put to it.

Steam, smoke ... and noxious vapors. How the Wytchfinder got off of my ignore list I do not know. Seeing the post, I'm fixing that immediately. :)

I'm pretty sure that Love and Compassion are both, well-beyond emotion ... and sentimentality. The latter comes into play when I get cutesy with my amazing feline friend here. She's an amazing creature, and I certainly love her dearly, yet much of what we cat-friends ~ and often enough...

One of the most discouraging aspects of potential Interfaith dialogue between any two or more distinct religious groups, is the tendency to scapegoat and demonize. We have seen this here, at this Interfaith/Comparative Religion discussion forum, over the years. Often enough it is Christianity...
