Jesus was a man who realized God.

No Jesus was God just like you are but Jesus knew he was God.
Jesus tried to tell everyone to look to the source of themselves because the source (the father) is the source of all.

All comes from the same source. Find the source of yourself. Know thyself.

The seer and knower that is always present is God.
From here he watches mind tell stories about the world and the ten thousand things.

If you want to know "The Father" , then you must know the Law. If you want to know the Law then you must know "The Father". Without law there is no "Father", without "The Father" there is no faith in law. When law exists faith in His Laws exists. If you are faithful to the law then you were cultured to have faith in "The Father" If you dont believe in law then you have no faith in "The Father" or in law.

You are seeing now, you are hearing now and it is always now in your experience. If the mind stops speaking for a moment you are pure aware presence without any ideas, concepts - all seeing, all knowing and everpresent is what you essentially are. Non conceptual awareness, non dual aware presence. Without the seer and knower there can be nothing named - mind/thought names and labels and the world is made of mind. To see existence without words is to see and hear - like Jesus teaching the blind to see.
Humans are blinded by the thoughts they have about the world, in fact the world is no more that a bunch of ideas, Jesus overcame the world by realizing there is no world, just ideas.
What is present now at this moment is all there is, and the mind imagines (makes images) the rest.
How easy life would be if you stayed with what is real insted of imaginary. Staying here and now with what is present is too easy for humans they like to imagine a whole world filled with horror.

To me it is clearly obvious, i watch it in action.
I am aware that i am here and i am aware of thoughts arising.
I am the presence in which the thought appear, i watch them pass. I am here and everything passes.edit on 22-7-2012 by Itisnowagain because: (no reason given)

You are aware that you are here, but are you aware that you come from another place?
Jesus was there even before I in the beginning. Jesus was there before man was just a mere thought. He was spirit first, before he came to be a man, for man. He would have never had to realize Father down here, because he was always with Father.
How is it that you know this, and did you know it from the beginning

The rapture comes and Homer goes to heaven, but despite all that heaven has to offer, Homer needs his family.
I totally disagree.
Contemplating the future, as even college kids do while they are considering what to do with their lives and the path they want to follow to become an adult, isn't any different than us older kids contemplating our future either. It's natural to do so. God made us to think so we would contemplate such things.
You think this keeps us from living in the moment?
I'll have you know that I exited this thread yesterday to spend the evening celebrating my wedding anniversary with the man of my dreams over an exquisite dinner of mushroom strudel and a braised duck in a ginger teriyaki/peanut/sesame glaze spread over a bed of rice noodles and then followed it up with a play at a live theater with 30 of our friends from the local Lion's Club while laughing until I almost cried.
Nope. I'm not missing anything.
