Myself, I do not see it as hard to recognise that what I have posted is perfectly on-topic and relevant.
I'm sorry if others cannot see such relevance.

To spell it out. Some are seeking to turn that which belongs to the mythic dimension into actual human history. This will only bring confusion and endless debate.
But please continue. Forget I spoke. It's easy enough.

The first account I can think of in the Torah. (Book of revealing Light)
A little read on the meaning of Torah.
https://www.aish.com/atr/What-is-Torah.html
"Let there be Light" which is to me The Christ since he said "I am the Light of the world".  |

I believe this is the No. 1 enigmatic verse in the Bible...'our'.
Cuz, really? Why would anyone think God was saying this 'to' Jesus?
Wanna start a thread on this verse, BJ? Cuz it is a mystery to many!
How can we ever truly know what was meant?

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.

Hey, that's a good one. I have never heard anyone approach it this way. Something to consider.

Mystery upon mystery!
P.S. I might start a thread over on the Buddhist section on Dogen's fine phrase:- "nothing throughout the entire universe is concealed” (henkai-fuzōzō).

Good, many people never go to that section, tho.
More go to, say, Spiritual Development.
Great quote!!!!!!

Because it was Jesus. Colossians 1:15-17; John 1:3; 17:5 |

As I have said, I don't particularly like the word "spiritual" And "development" seems a bit of a "oh, look how I'm making progress"
