Conveying thoughts and feelings, of course.

There is a belief among some people that Jesus was someone that had become enlightened in a past life, obviously sometime before the year 1 AD, and came back to share all that he had learned in order for the rest of us to become enlightened too. It's a fun theory to explore, and you can find it by googling.

You'll also find a lot of stuff on how his original teachings were very similar to reincarnation, and not what they teach in modern christian denominations. In fact, some people think that he and buddha shared the same soul, perhaps his time as buddha was when he became enlightened?

There are many theories about this, including the idea that Jesus (the incarnated individual) was an Initiate who was overshadowed by the Christ (the Divine Consciousness). In other words, Jesus was the vehicle for a much higher Being.

And the Buddha came to teach Divine Wisdom while Jesus came to teach Divine Love.

And reincarnation was part of some early Christian teachings until it was declared anathema at some Council in 553. It all comes down to control. If people believe that they face an eternity in heaven or an eternity in hell then they need the church and the priests to improve their chances of getting to heaven. But if souls reincarnate then there is no eternal reward or punishment, and the church becomes a bit irrelevant.

Peace.

The manomaya kosha communicates through the intermediary of speech and non-verbal body gestures at the level of this gross, material plane we all exist upon.

You may then say that 'this isn't true communication' - however, the relativistic context in this case, ensures this an accurate transcription.
