Buddhas Intent
It was not Shakyamuni Buddha’s intent to be worshiped like a God or become deified. He wanted to teach others to become enlightened and to teach others to do the same. We see statues of Buddha everywhere, but it takes a little study of Buddha’s coaching of the LS to learn that everyone can become enlightened like him, just as you are. Jesus Christ was a teacher, and according to Gnostic traditions, Jesus taught that people should have an individual relationship with God. There was no need for priests; all people were “the children of God.” We are all humans, and everyone has

their own unique connection to God, with no need for an intermediary or priest to come between us and God. If you replace the Judeo-Christian idea of a supernatural God and with the mystic law of cause and effect, the LS, it makes sense. Christians say God is everywhere, and law of C&E is also everywhere and permeates everything. God works in mysterious ways; the mystic law is mystic. I ask Christian friends, “Where did God, something so powerful, come from?” They say, “He just came into being.” Oh, he just sprang into existence, supremely powerful? If a super-powerful being can spring into the universe just to create the universe, why can’t the universe just spring into existence and cut out the part about a superbeing existing first, then creating everything? As Buddhists, we seek the truth and look for proof. We may never know everything about the universe, but we shouldn’t accept things every teacher says; we should look for proof in the teachings.
Page 50 flaws in the big three religions.
“Without the resurrection and ascension to Heaven, there is no Christianity as we know it. With no ascension for Muhammad, no Islam. The fundamentals of these major religions are supernatural and most likely embellished. To think that they are fake is to not have faith, which makes you a heretic, and you could be punished or killed for it during the Inquisition era. Seeking truth against the current beliefs can be a dangerous thing. Buddhism allows you to think for yourself; you are free to make and live with your choices. With the “Big Three” monotheistic religions, you cannot question any part of their canon, but some parts just don’t make sense with the proof that’s out there, so getting to the gist of it isn’t wrong. In the Gnostic traditions, you can live and act as Jesus, and that is living like a Buddha; you don’t need anyone else for your salvation because you can save yourself. Scholars are still making discoveries that the Torah, Bible, and Koran aren’t the entire story. Buddha elegantly explains enlightenment and the key to happiness in the LS. The LS gets to the most fundamental part of your being, what your mind is thinking, and allows you to change your Karma from now unto infinity as you constantly get reborn here on Earth. Through the Ten Worlds we believe heaven and hell exist here on Earth, and this is the time to experience them. In Buddhism, when you exist is the time to change your Karma; it doesn’t matter where you are. Adam and Eve experienced shame and fear in Eden. If hell can manifest for them in Eden, heaven can appear for you here. The Big Three religions try to help people become happy, but at their heart they are flawed because they put your salvation into the hands of someone else, like a priest or savior.
Now is your opportunity to find your direction. What do you have to lose? Just the risk of returning to Earth in the same situation, repeating the same lifetime over and over. We might live in different time periods, but we have the same types of problems with the same types of people— your king, your boss, your queen, your wife. When it comes to living life, you get to a baseline level, a foundation of you, your life condition. If there is an afterlife or you get reborn into a better life, wouldn’t you rather it be better than worse? If there is no afterlife, you lived a good life for nothing. If there is a chance of being reborn or an afterlife, then if you have been evil, you are fucked. You are better off making good causes. I fully believe in rebirth and good Karma. I don’t see any detriment to changing your Karma for good.”
