The you you think you are is just an appearance but the appearance is changing, the seer and knower of the appearance never changes and is eternal. Find the seer within.

Your idea began with Homer and was later refined by Plato...
...but the older Judeo/Christian view is that man is body, soul and spirit.
The body is the physical entity we bath, feed and move around in.
The soul is the conscious, thinking, emotional being.
The spirit is that part that was designed to be in union with the divine.
At the resurrection the three parts of man are recombined as a new transphysical being.

The Christian religion is not going to help you find the way home. Religion has been adapted to keep you a slave, whereas Jesus came to free the slaves.

I was answering this because it seemed to me that you were saying Christians know what is what. Religion is not Jesus Christ, Jesus was not a Christian.
Christians are trying to copy Jesus, they worship the man!!! Instead they should find out about consciousness which is what Jesus was pointing to.

You have never been separate from God, you just believe you are.

There is nothing separate to anything. It is one and it is all God.
Only your belief in you in time creates the illusion that there other than this. This right here and right now is all there is and you cannot separate yourself from this.

No God did not make man outside himself. Man just believes this which results in man being delusional and when delusional life hurts. Only the truth shall set you free.
There is no man really, all is God, but God likes to play hide and seek, it's his game.

If you believe it is 'your life' it is heavy.
Come to this moment and lose yourself and be eternally light.

"this is how humans were meant to be in the beginning but the union was lost through sin."
The only sin man made was to believe he was separate from God, he believes this because of his knowledge of time and other, there is no time and there is no other.
One not two.
'This' - there is only 'this. What 'this' is we cannot say, it is non conceptual (some call it God).
There is nothing outside of 'this'.edit on 9-7-2012 by Itisnowagain because: (no reason given)
