When Jesus uttered that he is the truth – he was inviting the ..
to partake of the eternal truth – and as it being eternal – how can
it be absolute for ordinary human beings (for Jesus it was, cos he
had ’’dissappeared’’ as a human form, he was emptiness), it can
only be relative to another human being’s perception, given his/her
conditioning. When Jesus uttered this – blessed are the poor in
spirit, for ….... of heaven – by that he was implying that one who
does not accumulate or becomes identified with the the past
(psychological baggage).
Clouds come and go in the sky, Jesus was asking … that one
transcend these clouds to see the ‘Truth”. Clouds are temporal
(conditioning, tradition, beliefs, religion,- psychological and
social and limiting) whereas the sky is permanent (which transcend
all religions, conditioning beleifs and even it is not transcended
one is open to the possibility of recognizing that which has always
been in one’s being and unlimiting and open to what may ….) hence
spiritual. religion is a mere spotlite – it narrows, it
concentrates and it has to exclude Spirituality is flood lite, ti
widens, it is all embracing and it is inclusive – BIG
difference. Till this is not understood or experienced one is a
squirrel in a cage
Jesus did not exclude. Do Christians include others who are not
Christians? It presuppose one who ethical as opposed to being
principled to derive at an ans. Ethics is inner, intuitive,
Principles are outer – commandments given by someone else to
follow.
Muse over this – can two emptiness(es) have a distance? What is
the distance between the two?
It would really help if you could organise your words more
intelligibly!
Anyway, your take on what Jesus meant is pretty bizarre and
involves heavy metaphorising of what Jesus taught. But then again,
that characterises much of your postings.
Yes, Jesus died for the whole world. In that sense He did not
include. All humans are called to salvation. But Jesus does exclude
also. He will separate the sheep from the goats, those who believe
in Him from those who do not.
Musing over the space between empty space? It's just a
meaningless statement. I wouldn't want to kill brain cells over it.
Might as well ask what's the name of the bachelor's wife, ya? Or
how a circular square looks like?
