Are any of us walking on water, multiplying loaves?

Not yet right.

Well the reality is that all of us have some truth and some untruth.

Some of the things each one of us believes to be true are not true. We're wrong about some of the things we believe.

Each person that we read their posts etc. also most likely has some understanding about something in this world that is more true than our current understanding of that thing.

Each one of us has pieces of the puzzle of truth and the puzzle of untruth.

So the key I believe is a) not to be attached to all of our pieces, some of them are false! b) Always be willing to come up higher. c) don't judge others beliefs, because while they are certainly wrong on some things, so are we. d) seek more than anything to be a Living example of what we believe more than a pusher of our mental beliefs.

For me, I have no doubt personally that Jesus Christ is an Ascended Master, and a part of the team that is working behind the scenes to raise up planet Earth.

I have no doubt that Jesus was born of Joseph and Mary and that Mary was PURE (which was later mistranslated to mean "virgin" because of the masochistic society we live in ~ if a woman is Pure then she's a virgin right? B.S. macho man).

I have no doubt that the churches have turned Jesus message, (which I suggest was the SAME kind of message as Gautama Buddha and many other mystics in our written histories, just told to a different culture at a different time), into worshiping the golden calf.

However, I know that virtually no one here will agree with all of my beliefs, and I also know that I don't have the full truth and that each person here has an understanding about at least one thing that I don't have... we each have pieces of the puzzle...

So I suggest we strive more than anything to BE Living examples of unconditional Love and understanding above all.

To me that indeed means challenging illusions when we see them, because that gives us all choice to come up higher, but it also means never labeling people as below us or good or bad based on their beliefs. Attacking people is truly attacking ourselves and contradicts most spiritual teachings we may be trying to follow.

We are all One, we are all children of the most high.

Some of us in this world are just more trapped in the illusion of separation than others (like the powers that be).

The Pure in Heart shall inherit the Earth, not those who chose the right mental belief system.

The greatest among us are the greatest servants of all, not because they are slaves to all, but because they awaken the greatness, the Divinity within All.

14 Chakras, I'm sorry if I come across as confrontational. I would never assume my self better (ie. more worthy) than others and do admire your posts/threads in general.
I really agree with most everything you've said, except where I've specified...
I do have a brisk manner of speaking/typing though, it seems. I't's just because I'm trying to cut to the point /facts of a matter, yet don't intend anything personal (actually I'm currently at my parents house for holidays and am surrounded by Jesus paraphernalia on every wall, fridge, calendar, ornament and other objects... so it's been in my face a bit lately... )
