It's been a joy to pursue self-actualisation and I am grateful for the wisdom of many including Leo and a particular Swami (non dual advaita-vedanta). All up I have done my best to contemplate and grow with over 300 podcasts and counting over 4 years. I am a 58 year old who was inducted into the Christian world view/paradigm, and I have done much to deconstruct and realise both the wisdom and shortcomings contained within the bible and I can now see that all world views are relative.
Both Leo and my favourite Swami sometimes use the life and teachings of Jesus as a positive example with regard selflessness/enlightenment etc but little is said about his reported miracles/resurrection. I would be deeply grateful if Leo could share any views he has as I have not heard my Swami's view on this. I would also love the views of other forum users and please be assured I have nothing to defend here- I am simply after non church related opinion to provide more balance to my perspectives and help in my growth.
On one hand some of the reported biblical events including the resurrection seem almost impossible, but on the other hand Leo has often said that the universe can do anything it wants as it is infinite. I have heard another commentator (Richard Rohr) a forward thinking catholic mystic opine that the resurrection refers to human ability to transform and be re reborn in the sense of enlightenment whilst living- not after the body dies.
I read your guidelines and appreciate you do not want any religious debates and I seriously don't wish to start one, but I can't stop thinking about this issue. This is my first time ever posting anything in any forum so I hope I am putting it in the right area and that the moderators are gracious enough to publish it.
