"If it is only a dream, why is pain so real?" "A dream head struck against a dream wall causes dream pain. A dreamer is not cognizant of the hallucinatory fabric of a dream until he awakens. Similarly, man does not understand the delusory nature of the cosmic dream of creation until he awakens in God." Paramahansa Yogananda

"Hanuman and Jesus are the Same"

When I was young on the spiritual path I had the delightful experiences of seeing Ram Dass speak several times. I even had a funny experience running into him at the hairdressers. I loved his book Miracle of Love, about his experiences and learnings with his guru Baba Neem Karoli. This morning I was perusing blogs and I happened upon this video of Krishna Das speaking about Baba Neem Karoli advising a devotee to 'meditate like Jesus'. There has been a magic, of course, to this blog. Finding this video was perfect to what I wanted to address. Last night I was thinking about my post yesterday. When Jesus gets mentioned, Christians think of course you are a Christian and non- Christians often get nervous thinking the same thing. Jesus was an enlightened being, a great master. I have spent much time studying his teachings. I am not a religious person in the sense of being involved in organized religion, yet my life is completely devoted to my spirituality. Understanding the teachings of Jesus is an eternal journey into a vast pool of Love and Light. There are many paths, many masters, to the same place.
