Did Jesus

remember a past life when he stated....



" And now, Father, glorify me in your own presence with the glory that I had with you before this world existed. "



He seems to be speaking of having preexisted in heaven before coming into this world.

Of course. Because that's all there is. We exist in the physical as conscious beings, and afterwards we return to the One Consciousness of Spirit.

And consciousness has no beginning or end....

I am trying to understand what Jesus ( or whoever wrote the verse) was pointing to. If heaven is a state of mind which I personally feel it is then the verse makes sense but I am a bit confused Had Jesus reached Nirvana but not Parinirvana when he stated this? Help.... please. It's in my head but it's coming out scrambled, I can't make sense of my own thoughts lol.

Why on earth are you two so determined to fit Jesus into a Hindu explanation? Can't you leave Christianity alone?

Nothing to do with Hinduism as far as I know but we must remember that Jesus did teach both Esoteric and Exoterically.

You can add your personal interpretation rather than being negative
