I am reading my Bible this morning,  like I do often and there is a message to me on the first page I turn to. 

Hebrews 13:8-9 NLT
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. [9] So do not be attracted by strange, new ideas.

Keep following that path. So hard you pass the inflection point of theism. You will find the answer then. :)

Yo guys...Jesus was right...Buddha was right...Mohammed was right...they all point towards non-duality

 

"Even this view, which is so pure and so clear, if you cling to it, if you fondle it, if you treasure it and are attached to it, then you do not understand that the teaching is like a raft, it is for getting across but not for holding onto"

- Buddha

 

In the same way Jesus' teachings are meant to be a tool for finding truth for yourself but the teaching itself cannot be truth because it is just words and words are only partial.

That's a good movie. I was thinking about it this morning actually. I forgot the name until you mentioned it. And I completely forgot about the top. 

 

in this dream within a dream we are in we can make a movie about a dream within a dream within a dream. When in reality there IS a reality and the ultimate illusion is that reality is an illusion.

Time is running out

look at the way society is configured. It’s a hierarchy. Who’s at the top? Why has it been set up this way? Did you see it being set up or did you read it somewhere? What do you really know about the forces which formed your reality?

why are certain messages and memes being trickled down in plain sight? Why is maximum profit the root goal of every company on earth when survival could be achieved at day 1? 

why is greed, lust, temptation, and violence investigated by art and media? Why is it a topic of conversation if it’s supposed to be so ‘normal’ to this reality? 

What are you seeing and why are you seeing it?

What is a teacher? What does he teach? What is a preacher? What does he preach? What is the difference? Something exists beyond your view and it’s the living God, implied wherever you look

the non dual state is a dead end and offers no relief

@calibrate  I am already burning as you can see from my profile picture.


You see, the reason you want to be better, is the reason why you aren’t. Shall I put it like that?

We aren't better, because we want to be.

20 And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation:

21 Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.

 

 

 

no pearly gates for you my friend?

Better ask the people who profit from Catholicism.

as for smaller churches though, think of it like this - why does actualized.org exist if all the work is done yourself? Because no man is an island

20 “My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, 21 that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. 22 I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one— 23 I in them and you in me—so that they may be brought to complete unity. Then the world will know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me.

John 17:20-23

 

24 Very truly I tell you, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds. 25 Anyone who loves their life will lose it, while anyone who hates their life in this world will keep it for eternal life.

John 12:24-25

You're being deceived

@calibrate Well then how do you interpret the verses which I quoted? The dude in the YouTube videos don't mention those verses.

And also he seems to quote many verses from the Old Testament, the New Testament replaced the Old Testament so NT is the way to go.

 

The NT did not replace the OT. It did supercede any "laws" per se, but not the OT scriptures themselves. One must know the OT to fully understand the NT. 

 

When Jesus is talking about unity he is talking about his disciples (and the "church") as a unified body. When he is talking about the seed dying and producing more seeds he is talking about his death on the cross. When he says that we should not love this life he is talking about not loving carnal (fleshly, worldly) things. Dying to the world and experiencing a spiritual rebirth where the focus is on Jesus, and realizing that this world and material things are temporal. But when you are born again through Christ you will have eternal life. 

 

Colossians 3:1-2 KJV
If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. [2] Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.

@Nondescript Ok.

"Now the full number of those who believed were of one heart and soul, and no one said that any of the things that belonged to him was his own, but they had everything in common."

Acts 4:32 ESV
 

Yes, the believers were spiritually united. As a church we are a corporate body. 

Acts 2:1-4 KJV
And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. [2] And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. [3] And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. [4] And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

 

The above is a turning point in the world. This is when the Holy Spirit first filled people other than the Old Testament prophets. Jesus said that it was imperative that he go (the ascension) so that he could send the great Comforter, which is the Holy spirit).

@Nondescript But "were of one heart and soul"..

this is getting ridiculous. you know nothing of the message of the bible yet cling to your idea of the meaning of 'one' and 'soul' as youve been taught to do
