Thanks Dan SF - (hu)man?
Did you do Eckankar? None of my business, so...
Love those people involved.

Prepare yourself for the coming astral journey of death by daily riding in the balloon of God-perception.
Through delusion you are perceiving yourself as a bundle of flesh and bones, which at best is a nest of troubles.
Meditate unceasingly, that you may quickly behold yourself as the Infinite Essence, free from every form of misery. ~Paramahansa's Guru's Guru

God has always been Love
Sure , we change and evolve because that is the nature of Love and compassion and empathy. There’s always more room to expand with every situation.

We get that from our Creator, our Source. The Bible says God never changes but God is always changing. Not God’s Mind, but God is along the ride with us. Meaning God is the author of a play and knows the whole story. But a part of him is also the director , and he wants to watch the play unfold in real time and guide it and experience it with the actors (meaning us ). So sometimes it looks like he’s changinf but what’s really happening is, God is so patient and open minded he was even willing to deal with humanity’s ignorance during those tribal periods of brutality and horrific violence. But God was ever so directing and influencing humanity for eons to go in the direction of Love.

The Old Testament is also taken out of context most of the time. Yes a lot of people murder and kill in the Bible. But God has never willed anyone’s death by bloodshed.

By the time the history of the Israelites came to a crossroad with the Roman Empire and occupation, the previous prophets elevated the collective consciousness of their people to a place where it could welcome someone as Pure and perfect as Jesus who reflected the true nature and character of God than the past prophets and oracles before him.

Life is about evolution, both in Spirit and in the physical. It’s a Law of the universe.

A parent deals with infants differently than our he or she deals with a teenager or a full grown adult.

If most of Exodus was the teenage years for the Chosen People , where emotions and hormones run amok and parent and child are constantly at odds, you too would think looking back at your teenage years your parents were too harsh or nasty but really they were only getting you to the right direction. But by the time we get to the arrival of Jesus in the Bible, God is at a different relationship with his chosen People. It’s a more loving, giving and receiving. Jesus isn’t just some child or servant of God. He’s called his “Son” for a specific reason outside the later Theological conclusions about him that were conducted 100s of years after he was alive. He’s the “Son” because he’s on God’s level. And just like any child , we grow into maturity and adulthood and are at the same level of our Parents. The only way to be at that level is to look at the example of our bigger Sibling, our older brother (Jesus), the son of God. He shows what the right relationship is with God and reflects the true nature of our Parent. And that is love and kindness and all embracing acceptance. To Love doesn’t just mean cuddles and warmth and such. It’s acceptig everyone and everything to Be, as it is. That’s why you don’t have to Like everyone. You can’t like someone who is evil. And you can’t love them as being evil. But instead of stamping them out or seeking revenge or hate or wishing they were dead, you must accept them just as they are, to let them just Be, to accept them , don’t judge them but pray for them to change their ways because who are we to say we aren’t like them. You may be harboring some viral negative “sinful” qualities yourself which have never sprouted. And you never know if you were born in their circumstances if you woulda ended up like them. None of us are behind the 8ball on planet earth. We are all here to Learn and evolve as transform. That is the salvation God gives everyone.

When i first wrote the text, i'v written only "man", but didn't wanted to limit it to male human only, so hu became added, to denote whatever the reader understand best.

Well ill answer it anyway, because there are at least 2 coincidences which i noticed, while reading the wiki about them.

No, but who really knows of all of the influences. I'v been watching Mooji, Eckard, Landria, Abraham and few other spiritual videos on Youtube.
Something must have been adapted in my thinking, for sure.

Beside of it, English is, actually, my 2nd/3rd most used language and i'm still learning it, so my choice of words is based on what i have learned so far
