What is that reality? Well on thing that is not real , is the idea of going to "Hell" , which is the biggest lie of all . Why would Jesus lie like that , since he was God and omniscient? No-one in their right minds would conceive of such magnificient intelligence as "God" and think that he would trouble himself/herself to create a such a wonderous Universe with a Hell in it ...that stuff is for superstitious ancient primitive puritans and stubborn people that think very little on what surrounds them. "The Son of man [Jesus himself] shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity; And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth." (Matthew 13:41-42) "And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched." (Mark 9:43) "If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth . . . and men gather them into the fire, and they are burned." So what dope do you think Jesus was taking ? Hopefully not too much wine .... Back to reality ...it has been commonly more and more a universal revelation throughout the entire thinking world of man & educated nations , that the original resplendent & eldest visions out of the eastern mode of thought , and the originators of the first monistic view of the world . It is commonly glossed over and ignored by Christians , Jews and Islamists , all thinking that they are the great monistic religions , but that is and always has been false . In the east , the original view of the world encompasses the All in One , and the One in All ; That one Substance manifests itself as the seeming many elements of the material world -and this is of Hindu origin, and has been gradually winning its way into the thought of the western world for two hundred years. It is the foundation of all the Oriental philosophies, and of those of Descartes, Spinoza, Leibnitz, Schopenhauer, Hegel, and Emerson. I could suggest you read Hegel or Emerson for yourself for a start , but be advised this is very "real" stuff , so I wouldn;t want you to stumble and hurt yourself . After all this time believing in theological fantasy and religious propaganda . All this concern over the "New Age" beliefs , and lo and behold they are 1000 of yrs older than your mythological hero --->Moses himself.<G> God is mysterious isn't he ? And you are standing right now right in the middle of the beginning of the great revelation and second coming , and final enlightenment of man ....but you would rather see at least some be damned and sent to Hell wouldn't you Mr Elect ? Oh well....tough cookies for you. ;-) PS: You have to remember that at the turn of the last century it was the commonly held belief among the Catholics , that Buddhism would disappear in the next hundred years . Such is faith , but that is not reality. It is they who are having problems finding priests now .
