    Hello Nathan,
    I thank you for taking the time and energy to write your comments.

    To me "belief" in God is perhaps a step along the path. But as the ancient Kahuna of Hawaii discovered --- belief is only required for that which is not real.

    I do not believe in God. I do not believe in Jesus. I do not believe in the bible either.

    I invite you to take a really good look at what the man we now call Jesus Christ ACTUALLY had to say. Read the bible with an open mind. BUT also read other texts like the Dead Sea Scrolls and the work of the Essenes and the Emerald Tablets of Thoth, and the Gospel of St Thomas.
    There I think you will find that the man we now call Jesus was in fact no different from you or I. He was not a Christian. He was not someone that mindlessly "believed" in what religions in his day were trying to put across to humankind as "Truth".

    I invite you to explore within yourself what it is to be a Christ as opposed to a Christian --- what it means to be a Buddha as opposed to a Buddhist. This is what these great teachers were showing as they way toward. Not to follow them as some sort of saviour but rather to be like them --- bring about our own Salvation and the Salvation of the world we each live in.

    "Baptism in the NAME of JESUS for the remission of sins" is all very well but to me this does little or nothing if the person going through with it doesn't eventually realise that they are their own Salvation. "Believing in Jesus" is not, in my view, a path that will result in becoming a Christ. Rather, to me, it is about discerning and applying the Path this man we call Jesus actually applied in his own life. That is what makes a person into a Christ as opposed to a Christian.

    Feel free to comment further.

    With love and blessings,
