Revelation 22: “And …
Revelation 22: “And the Spirit and the Bride saith…”, which mean’s the Bride is the Physical body, the Spirit the Joy of that Physical body. Freke don’t talk shit, he can see through shit!
People who don’t …
People who don’t want to see the truth, or agree with this, are people who feel the most alone, or are afraid of being 1 all by themselves the most. Those who accept, “hey, I’m always going to be alone, at least on Earth I have some company” they are the ones who will get the most out of life, not those who expect something greater after death!
Everyone is just …
Everyone is just trying to get by… but if you can understand that you are God, the one mind, dreaming, you will be better for it =)
I very much doubt …
I very much doubt his message says to neglect the bills.
OK, his point is …
OK, his point is lighten up, be happy, and feel love. Thats it?? After all that BS?
His philosophy, if you can call it that, still has nothing to do with the problems of the temporal world. You stillneed to pay your electric bill at the end of the day. Am I just supposed to space out, get giddy on love, and laugh when the bills are due?? This guy makes serious money telling people that at conferences??
Misuse of the word …
Misuse of the word ego is common among the ignorant. Ego means conscious or logical mind. The word you seek is ID. This by strict definition means the subconscious, primitive basis of INSTINCTIVE behavior.The understanding of this, represents enlightenment
“Enlightenment has …
“Enlightenment has nothing to do with the self – it’s the end of self.”
Enlightenment has everything to do with the self – it’s the beginning of self.
As opposed to …
As opposed to nothing… I make no claims of enlightenment and if my comments are ego-based and predictable, then they are ego-based and predictable… I wonder against what standard though?
Wake yourself up is me aping Freke’s faux-enlightenment psycho-babble and would only be a contradiction depending on the definition of the word enlightenment, you favour – I see you’re absolutely certain of your own – how very enlightened of you…
As oppose to your …
As oppose to your oh-so enlightened and authentic voice of posting three, rather predictable, ego based comments about his earnings.
Waking yourself-up, btw, is a contradiction in terms. Enlightenment has nothing to do with the self – it’s the end of self.
Wake yourself up – …
Wake yourself up – Freke will only send you into yet another dream – HIS dream of his own self-importance and personal wealth!
And how much is …
And how much is your book Mr Freke? Can I buy 2 just to give you more money, then I’d feel really spiritual Mr Freke…
I’d rather burn the cash, personally, than give it to any of these faux-gurus. If you are human, and possess a mind then you have your tools.
Freke is exactly …
Freke is exactly what the world doesn’t need – yet another career guru.
Good luck to him though… All you people that dig him should give him as much cash as he wants.
went to see this …
went to see this guy tonight… awesome openness. such as cool guy.
But it’ll take a lot for people to break down their long-endured paradigms of life
people willingly …
people willingly die all the time for what they think is true. You yourself probably believe muslims martyrs are dying for a lie.
also the first church fathers (bishops) claimed they alone where the representatives of a line of apostolic succession stretching back to the 12 disciples. do you believe that?
For centuries the catholic church prevented anyone other than priests from readin the new testament for themselves. Why?
Yeshu was a …
Yeshu was a extremely common name. which in greek is Jesus.
Josephus metions at least 10 yeshus, some translations of Jesephus only translate the passages that they want the reader to identify with Jesus Christ using the greek version of the name. while leaving the names of all the other jesuses in untranslated Hebrew. Josephus did not believe in any jewish messiah figure. he was a pro-roman jew
you should read the book by Dr. Eisler called THE MESSIAH JESUS AND JOHN THE BAPTIST.
Gnostic means one …
Gnostic means one who knows.
not knowledge in terms most people think, its the same knowledge in Buddhism called Prajna.
its direct experience and knowledge of the divine, which intellect can’t grasp.
The insights …
The insights offered here are right on the money and may well have been those that Jesus the teacher offered. The reason I suggest that he did exist is because Barara Thiering has found a way of deciphering early Christian documents to give an almost day by day account of the life of Jesus. The story that emerges is very different from the standard view but while historical details may be important, the core teaching is really what it’s about.
I know that they …
I know that they seek spiritual enlightenment through spiritual exercises like meditation. However I am not sure of their belief system I know some belief Judas(the betrayer) to be a hero
Why would the …
Why would the apostles willingly suffer brutal deaths for refusing to stop preaching the Jesus of the Bible if it is was all a myth? People dont willingly die for what they know to be a lie! And how about Josephus he wrote of a historical Jesus. And how about the early church fathers in the 1st century, did they worship a Jesus who never really existed?
