…him this way, another comes that way, and there's also the majesty of the destiny of the one who is the killer of the other. Jesus and judas, they were built that way that's the way the world works in the way of the coming and going of the pairs of…
…and each finding his own way. There are plenty of guides around, but none should be permitted to say: I'm it now when Jesus and Krishna, in the text that you've just read say: all come only through me. What they're saying really is that they themselves…
…of jesus, for he does not return. What does that passage mean to you in the context of what we've been talking about? Jesus represents the inspiration to life I mean the life of the spirit, the life not simply of physical conditions, but the thing that…
…the finger for the moon and that the doctrine must not be mistaken and concretized and say: this is exactly it it's not Jesus who's speaking but jesus Christ. The Christ is the second person of the blessed trinity which is the knower of god the father…
…Ramakrishna had a little company of disciples and one gets to know them as one's reading the gospel through Ramakrishna. Just as Jesus had disciples, just as the buddha had disciples, just as almost any teacher will have a special little group of disciples…
…are going to get through but you mustn't eat this and you mustn't eat that and you got to all this kind of thing. Jesus comes out of that ambience. In fact, at least in many of the passages of the gospels, Christ is predicting this very thing and…
…it struck me very hard. The very last discourse of the gospel according to Thomas, the disciples said: when will the kingdom come? Jesus said: the kingdom will not come by expectation. The kingdom of the father is spread over the earth and men do not…
…of jesus, for he does not return. What does that passage mean to you in the context of what we've been talking about? Jesus represents the inspiration to life I mean the life of the spirit, the life not simply of physical conditions but the thing that…
…within you if you can't say it's within me, then who's in heaven and I and the father are one? Well all of that. Jesus was crucified because he said I and the father are one. I'm speaking with Joseph Campbell, a mythologist and author of the. We'll…
…regeneration of society as a whole. Tribal or local heroes commit their boons to a single folk Universal Heroes. Muhammad Jesus, Gautama Buddha bring a message for the entire world. Heaven, hell, the mythological age, Olympus and all the other habitations…
…snared and slowed the sun to give his mother time to cook her meals. Abraham arrived at the knowledge of the one god. Jesus confounded the wise men the baby buddha had been left one day beneath the shade of a tree. His nurses suddenly noted that…
…full of import to be treasured and contemplated. Such a moment was that of the transfiguration of the Christ. From Matthew, Jesus taketh Peter, James and John his brother and bringeth them into an high mountain apart and was transfigured before them, and…
…it's in philippians 2, 5 to 8. You will recognize it I'm sure. Have this mind among yourselves then, which you have in Christ Jesus who, though he was in the form of god, did not count equality with god a thing to be held to, but emptied himself.…
…Tradition there's a very decisive problem in distinguishing between the sense of the term Christ and the sense of the term jesus. Jesus is a reference to a historical character. Christ is a reference to an eternal principle, the son of god the second…
…ultimate mystery is: these two are one and anyone in our official context who says I and the father are one has blasphemed. Jesus said it he was killed for that that's what he was crucified for: for blasphemy. Nine hundred years later the Great Sufi…
…and I am he. I am the all. The all came forth from me. Split the stick, I am there. Lift the stone, I am there. Jesus is there speaking as the Christ, not as the historical person, but as the incarnation, and each of us must know himself to be an…
…going to live with these goats? You better not let them know you better not let them know that you found your tiger Face. When Jesus said I and my father are one they crucified him. When halaj said I am I beloved I want they crucified him. I think…
…are wrong and these people are right. So any bunch of bishops sitting around would really know just because they all voted, that Jesus was really the son of god, that that's why he was well that's a funny way of thinking that people, let's say used…
…You cannot be saved by another's sacrifice. What does that do to the sacrifice of the cross? It's out. Each must save himself. Jesus may be taken as a model for your own you know imitatio christi, own imitation of Christ but what is the imitation of…
…you here is to introduce us to our tiger Face. Now however we have a problem. We're tigers. How do we live as goats? Jesus said: don't throw your pearls before swine, lest trampling them underfoot. They turn on you, and he found out about that, and so…
…your synoptics, phrases that you've heard and read for decades. It's just a little twist. Let me tell you one of them: mark 13. Jesus is supposed to have told us about the end of the world, which was about to come, and he said: this will occur before…
…now in that sense and the radiance of the presence of the divine is known to me through you, through me you sure a journalist. Jesus also says in this text: he who drinks from my mouth will become as I am and I shall be he. He's talking from the…
…that's it. I when mean when Peter drew his sword and sword and cut off the servant's ear there in the gethsemane affair. And Jesus says: put up your sword, Peter and put the ear back on. Peter has been drawing his sword ever since, and one can speak…
…death is required for new, fresh life and so on and the individual isn't quite an individual, he is a member of a plant. Jesus uses the term you know where he says: I am the vine and you are the branches. That vineyard idea is a totally different…
…sublimation of what originally was a very solid vegetal image. He is on holy root, the tree. He is himself the fruit of the tree. Jesus is the fruit of eternal life which was on the second tree in the Garden of Eden. When man had eaten of the fruit…
…the sacrifice of the cross. That's what this priest was witnessing. But then you have it also in the acts of John: Jesus, before going to crucify, did jesus dance? That's one of the most beautiful passages in the Christian Tradition. In the Matthew, Mark,…
…there and he undergoes three temptations. The economic temptation where the devil says: you hungry young man, change the stones to bread. Jesus said, man lives not by bread alone but every word from the mouth of god. Next we have the political temptation.…
…you. In all of these journeys of mythology there's a place everyone wishes to find. What is it? The Buddhists talk of nirvana. Jesus talks of peace. There's a place of REST and repose. Is that typical of a hero's journey, that there's a place to find?…
