Maybe you should follow him, He's metaphysics to the max. Or does new age fill your soul enough?

who are you talking to?
I think it was a side arrow side-shot aimed at me, even though I always defer to the master and never make any claims for myself, since to be honest,
I don't have an original idea of my own and everything I've learned I learned from him in much the same way he learned from his father who sent him.
"And as my father hath sent me, even so send I you."
P.S. Edit: What is most interesting about Jesus' philsophy and metaphysics, is that in his view there was apparently no distinction between Truth,
Love and The Good, and he seemed to have an intimate felt experience of this Absolute Ideal as something alive and informative in all creation as a
type of "spirit of the universe" ie: see his exchange with the woman at the well where he reframes God as being neither in the Temple or on the
Mountain, but as spirit and truth. For him "God" was a living principal as a first/last cause, fully informed and self aware in eternity, a POV
synonymous with the "Brilliance" of the "Akasha" of the Hindus, and the Tao of the Eastern Mystics.
Jesus was a lover of Quality above all else, of Excellence, expressed as the very meaning of human life and existence; and as a standard relative to
which no compromise ought to be made. As such, for him, Quality it would appear (the Good) was the creative regenerative principal of life meeting
life in eternity, incorruptible, and imperishable. "Heaven and earth will pass away, but my word will never pass away." This is a statement about
rhetoric (artful persuasion), and of the neccessity of leadership, whereby one among us must teach and be the Good Shepherd who can be trusted never
to be a wolf and to guard and protect from the wolf who only kills and eats.
His is a way of thinking so foreign to modern man, that even to this day, people don't seem to understand what Jesus was driving at.
We even see in the Lord's prayer, the hermeneutical conception of "as above, so below", and the very same standard of forgiveness which he came to
embody willingly on the cross as a perfect and neccessary act of love, of uncompromising Quality and Excellence bar none.
To then mock Jesus and Christian's one and all, without the faintest clue about the sheer magnificence of the thinking and the philosphy, is not only
ignorant, but profane.
The truth at the heart of the Jesus story, is highly informative, and is only offensive to the self willed pride of man, who although he thinks he
knows, doesn't have the first clue. Ironically, these are the very lost be came to inform!
