    Did Jesus physically rise from the dead?

    Thank you. Life and death are inextricably tied together. There is no path from death to life: they are the same path of duality going round and round forever: life implies death, and death implies life. The answer we seek lies in a state of being transcendent of both. Yeshua expressed this...

    Did Jesus physically rise from the dead?

    The Nazarene were a sect of the Essenes. The mythical concoction of Paul called 'Jesus' may not have been an Essene, but Yeshua was. "The Nazarenes originated as a sect of first-century Judaism. The first use of the term "sect of the Nazarenes" is in the Book of Acts in the New Testament...

    Did Jesus physically rise from the dead?

    However, there is no such 'proof' of any 'resurrection' from the dead. For one thing, Jesus, or rather Yeshua, was a Nazarene, a sect of the Essenes, which did not believe in bodily resurrection, nor in blood sacrifice. These doctrines came from pagan Mithraism. If you are concerned with...

    Did Jesus physically rise from the dead?

    Science does not deal with the supernatural or miracles. But the question for me is: why is there a necessity for a resurrection at all? Isn't The Crucifixion, which is the shedding of divine blood for the redemption of sin enough? The addition of The Resurrection is just a way of 'proof'...

    Did Jesus physically rise from the dead?

    Ya, he survived the Crucifixion and got spirited away by his close friends and relatives to the Buddhist monastery at Hemis in Ladakh in the Himalayas where the Buddhist monks knew him as 'our beloved St. Issa' during his 18 'missing years'. 'Issa' means 'savior'. Jesus's, or rather Yeshua's...

    Racial Integration in the US: Is it an ever-receding dream....

    Not always the case. Ghandi singlehandedly drove the British from India without having fired a single shot.

    I believe he really is just that to many people, along with Trump and his supporters., like the Koch brothers.

    Racial Integration in the US: Is it an ever-receding dream....

    No. I don't see a Hitler type regime coming into power. That paradigm has passed. But the conditions that spawned it are a similar nutrient rich source. What has the possibility to emerge will be far more sinister, considering in part the far higher degree of technology the power grabbers...

    Rush Limbaugh does a pretty good job of trashing the left as crazy people every single day on public radio.

    Racial Integration in the US: Is it an ever-receding dream....

    Really? Then why is Trump in power and has the support of over 94% of the Evangelicals? I mean, Hitler's Brown Shirts were a minority that cleverly exploited people's paranoia just as Trump exploited American's paranoia and hysteria. No, I am not equating the one to the other, but only the...

    Racial Integration in the US: Is it an ever-receding dream....

    Perhaps so, but those in power have many convinced that the media is 'fake news' and even the 'enemy of the people', and that there really is such a thing as 'alternative facts'. This is the beginning of a justification for the shutdown of the free press, and it won't take much to do it, even...

    Racial Integration in the US: Is it an ever-receding dream....

    But isn't it the Right that has the economic clout to publish, execute, and perpetuate their propaganda and outright lies, including the all important practice of demonizing/dehumanizing the left as crazy unauthorized people in general, and not to be listened to, as per slobs like Rush Limbaugh...

    Racial Integration in the US: Is it an ever-receding dream....

    There IS a difference between the 'blissfully [deliberately?] ignorant' living in a fool's paradise, and the genuinely 'happy'. Truly happy people automatically want others to be happy as well, so they look beyond their closed societies, which is what all the fuss is about. They refuse to...

    Racial Integration in the US: Is it an ever-receding dream....

    A racist president in office, for one. Or the banning of ethnic study books in Arizona public schools, and Texas allegedly actually re-writing black and chicano history to sanitize them? The murders of young black men by the police?

    Racial Integration in the US: Is it an ever-receding dream....

    So maybe this ultimately points to the development of our powers of social interaction on a universal scale for the good of the planet. After all, we all are human at our base. Ensuring the survival, security, and happiness of others is to ensure that of our own. Ostracizing others on the...

    Racial Integration in the US: Is it an ever-receding dream....

    Many of what are now of the 'poor white' class used to be a step or two above the economic/race class of those they considered below them. They had nothing to worry about in terms of competition. But due to primarily economic changes and perhaps demographics, they now find themselves on the...

    Racial Integration in the US: Is it an ever-receding dream....

    Oh, racism does not mean we still don't USE people of color to do our work for us, especially when it comes to fighting our wars against other people of color to support the ill-conceived notion of white supremacy, as well as for domestic menial labor, like picking your crops, motel and hotel...

    Did Jesus physically rise from the dead?

    First of all, Yeshua, the real man, was a Nazarene, which is a Jewish mystical cult. Yeshua did not teach bodily resurrection; only spiritual resurrection. Nor did he teach blood sacrifice. Those teachings were overwritten onto those of Yeshua by Paul as a clever device to convert tens of...

    Racial Integration in the US: Is it an ever-receding dream....

    Is race alone the trigger for attraction, or is it culture attached to race? Social behavior within a race is inbred, and so, easy; to go outside of one's race in order to establish communication with another requires a shift of consciousness and mode. This is sometimes referred to as...
