i think maybe 10, 20, or 30 years from now on most people from our generation will have more things in common, but right now there are a lot of disagreements

Life is a test

God tests us

Jesus tested his disciples

Its all in accordance with the law of correspondence

No religion spites jesus

Jesus is the greatest example of how to live in the modern era

Is he just the avatar of a higher god? Is he god himself? Is he just a very wise person? None of this matters. What matters is having the wisdom to act as he did and the intellect to understand his actions

Ignorance and desire are one in the same. We are in a dark age of material and worldly pursuit. Perhaps not within our lifetime but eventually things will progress to a better place

if someone mentions jesus, they're going to have to appreciate lao tzu and buddha who came before him. all three were great teachers.

I have to assume youre correct here because im not familiar with either of their works too much

I tried reading the dhammapada but i need to revisit it

I started my path with books like the kyballion, the emerald tablets and the upanishads. I always considered these to be the highest works of esoteric knowledge so i never bothered to investigate much else

I think my problem with women is they see me as a man when in reality im a spirit in the form of a man

I dont have the same patterns of behavior as someone who chases desire

Or not so much that i dont chase desire, rather that its not my only motivation

you know about the four noble truths and noble eightfold path? that's just the basics for buddhism. you don't need much else. you have to be committed to following them as a guide. maybe taoism isn't for you, but if it is, wu wei just means don't force anything and that's all you basically need. it's hard to balance taoism and buddhism because they're different, but i've managed to do it.

Ill take a look into it it sounds interesting. Im not familiar with those concepts but i definitely like the idea of not forcing things

yeah, along with simplicity and humility
