I lament because Jesus was indeed a realized master...totally enlightened, however Christianity has become a 'dark religion' and the original teachings have become ignored. This seems to happen...the master gets disciples, a few benefit, but then after a few centuries the original shakti (energy) of the master dissipates. Such is the challenge before us. Regards, Keith
My favorite art was the ancient Roman and the Botticelli's in the Sistine Chapel.
One painting of a bunch of monks being hung was unbelievably disturbing and the guide would not tell me what the story behind it was. Some heresy I suspect.

ReplyDelete1) Yep. Apart from the inherent flaws of Christianity, it has been overgrown with spiritual fungus, as well. Nice-looking fungus, admittedly.
ReplyDelete2) On that note, I NEED to visit Rome some day. Ah. The only good things to come out of religion: the music and the art.

That was a great video, and it made a lot of sense, at least to me.
ReplyDeleteMaybe the Vatican could cash in some those relics and help the poor of the world. But I guess that would be un-godly.
