Dear Banana, When was it written down? Exodus was still being reworked in the fifth Century BC. wasn't it? I'm sure you'd find similar lines in the teachings of Zarathustra. Hillel had some fine teachings too- but that was later. But where is the compassion for all beings? Where is the...

Yes the Jewish teachings prepared the way for an understanding as did the Greek Wisdom. How would have Mankind understood the Event without the proper preparation? You said, "then again we must acknowledge that Love and Compassion are Universal in the world's Spiritual Traditions." Just where...

Book of Kells - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia I would also gently remind that the early Celts did not translate the verse the way it stands today: Your Br.Bruce

You are quite correct Impqueen. If they were invading, where did they come from? Christianity is a Middle Eastern religion, but it didn't spread from the Middle East to Europe. Christianity came to Europe via Ireland and the Irish missionaries. Places like Iona hold special significance. I...

This is the most comprehensive research I have found on the matter: H-S CONNECTION Written by a member of the Rosicrucian Fellowship (Charles Weber); it seems to have got him into a lot of hot water! Here is the quote from the Fifth Gospel: New Age streams of various kinds.... "A man from...

Yes, Christians must be careful of this. I would term it a Luciferic temptation - ego death. On the other extreme is egotism. As a remedy for this I have found "The Imitation of Christ" written down by A Kempis, to be invaluable. As always, it's all about balance. Godspeed, Br.Bruce

Dear Vajradhara, That "grasping ego" is only a lower condition of ego- really unrefined kama. Who is this 'I' that is trying to be more altruistic? Does it seek peace & bliss? From your your posts I sense a well developed healthy obstinacy. Where does that comes from? I have posted before...

Yes Cliff, As Christians we understand humility and selflessness, but we do not seek to deny our "I am". Let me present a definition for this "I am" from a Lodge of Christian Teachers: God Bless, Br.Bruce
