Earth is hardcore....Jesus is not hardcore.

Earth is incredibly hardcore. Don't ask me to explain, use your senses. I am willing to bet you that Hindus and Nirvana and Self Realisation are hardcore too.
Jesus is NOT hardcore. I am with Him.

Is it 'Hardcore' to understanding that 'Self Realization' Is realizing that God resides within, while also being in, 'all that is'.....

I and my Father are one.
The Kingdom of Heaven is within and without.
I am That I Am.

What I worry about is the type of God one finds within. Particularly without Jesus being the path to find that God. Self realisation seems to be so indifferent, particularly to the plight of others. It is a DIY sort of thing. In my opinion, non-hardcore God is way ABOVE us...where we fell from. The God within us is just our spark of life.

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

honza i think this is the beauty of God being attributed with a personality
self-realisation is one aspect, that is tied to the realisation of a personality beyond our own

self-realisation can be taken to imply that there is no personality beyond our own, but whatever it takes we have the chance to encounter

self-realisation is a cocoon that is safe from corruption, yet when we realise that we want more than that, it leads to realisation of what is beyond our self?

So those who don't follow Jesus cannot find God ?

Re-Spark of life.... Spiritual life, imo.

In truth I don't know the answer to that. Many Christians believe that to be true. My own opinion is that is might be true.

That reminds me of this passage:

Matthew 11:28-30
New International Version
28 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”

That is brilliant, thank you.
