The Great Master Jesus teaches direct connection to source.
By being the example of Love and forgiveness one is self empowered to do great works.

 

"I AM THE LIGHT, I AM THE WAY": To me means not to follow "The Path", but to be the Light on your own path.

   From the outside looking in, I see a man just like me who knows that he is not of flesh and blood but a full blown extension of love.
 Pure positive energy drawn from the source.
  The Brother teaches us today how to maintain that connection to source energy by seeing that we are nothing more then the purified form of each others intention reflected back.
  What we do to each other in this physical existence, we do to ourselves.

   It all boils down to Consciousness or resistance to that consciousness.

 There is nothing more, for the incarnated Spiritual Being to concern themselves.

    There is only that which exists in the present moment, as you receive back ONLY WHAT YOU OFFER, only six times more powerful, as manifested into physical form.

   Are your projecting Love or are you offering something else?
  What are you receiving? 

    Trust me. These two are relevant.

  My ego is continuously resistant to that which disproves its very existance. It is best that I  allow it to disolve as best I can for this moment and many more to follow.

  Love is the expression of consciousness that can not be tolerated if it is your ego's sole intention to be right.

    As I was from the beginning and will always be "A holy loving child of God.

 

  Namaste

This is simply another over-blown post containing the customary, but needless, crass assumptions.

We can agree that love is a vital emotion without adding all the baroque nonsense that gives the impression that love requires cosmic or divine justification to be considered important.

And, by the way, as the New Testament informs us, Jesus did not always personify or exemplify either love or forgiveness. In fact, it shows him as decidely flawed.

I wouldn't say that envisioning an eternity of 'wailing and gnashing of teeth' in 'a furnace of fire', 'everlasting fire, 'fire (that) is not quenched', 'where the worm dieth not' for one's enemies portrays what you claim above about "The Great Master Jesus" at all.

Of course he was portrayed as being flawed.  That is a valuable part of the lesson being presented.

  You are obviously well read and aware of the Mans work.

  Tell me,dear Brother.  

   How you see him, as being different from You?

 

How do I see Jesus as being different from me?

In a number of ways, but then, we all differ one from another, don't we?

But I don't see Jesus' portrayal as flawed as part of any "lesson". I'm sure there was no intention on the part of the Gospel writers to convey Jesus as flawed. Given the nature of the God they worshipped, Jesus' petulance and vindictiveness on occasions would have simply been part of his godliness as far as they were concerned.

In what sense?

  You seem above all of this, actually.

     Why are you Here?

I always answer direct questions with direct answers.

Your question, however, is anything but direct. In what sense do you want me to compare myself with the legendary Jesus? 

Make that clear, if you can, and I'll do my best to respond to it.

"I always answer direct questions with direct answers." 

    Your faltering only serves for you to to think that I will forget the context for which the question was asked.  Lets try again.

Why are you Here?

I'm not faltering at all.

You asked me how I compared myself to Jesus, and I simply responded by asking you in what comparative "sense" were you expecting a reply?

How am I supposed to compare myself with a person who lived in an utterly different and almost alien culture, who lived within and out of a completely different world-view, and two-thousand years ago!? To make any attempt at comparison even worse, we actually know very little about the historical Jesus. All that we know about him is largely mythical and legendary. How does one compare oneself with such a character? 

Perhaps it is you that is faltering because you now realise how daft a question it actually is.
