Yeah, but I believe everyone is God. Someone like Jesus, well, I think he had reached the point where he was consciously God, and almost nobody does that, because they're too caught up in their little personality. But that's what an Avatar is, I think, someone who has come into the full consciousness of the indwelling presence of God. He (or she) then acts, in effect, as God, not merely in an unconscious or an unaware manner as many people often do when they demonstrate love or truth in a powerful way, but with full awareness of what he or she is doing ALL the time.

There's a long tradition of such Avatars in Asia, for instance, and most of the Asian teachers now recognize that Jesus was one such Avatar, as were others in his region of the world in even more ancient times.

But I'm merely saying what I think about it. Do I know? How could I know? I simply have an opinion...or what I'd call my "best guess". Can I assume anyone that else knows for sure? Why would I assume that? On what basis? And why would I assume that a specific religious text from any specific ancient culture is the final word on the matter? I think further inspired texts are probably being written right now by someone, but they might not be heard about generally for some time...or not at all.

If Jesus or someone like him was walking the Earth right NOW, and speaking the WHOLE TRUTH most people now wouldn't even know about it. He'd be ignored by most people. They wouldn't even be interested. They don't want the TRUTH, they want security, money, a lover, a husband, a new car, a new house, children, a career, etc... We might hear about it much later, long after he was gone. We might not.

Be that as it may, Slag, if your way works for you then that's fine with me. (as I think you know)
