@UnbornTao  Thank you. It looks interesting, I will definetely read it

@Yimpa  Yup.

Christianity understands Offense to be the root of all evil, which is the impediment of the most Selfless Will (either yours or the others).

Ask yourself, when are my desires frustrated? When do I frustrate other's desires? There you will find Pain and Hurt.

Forgive, then, and correct your conduct to be God-like.

Yes. Only for a mind though. All awakenings spoken at this forum are mental appearances, unshare-able and limited. God-realization meanwhile is one and done and for all. I and the Father are now one. This is the work Jesus ably demonstrated for those with ears and eyes. Other paths may be applicable.

It's harder for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven than for a camel to go through the eye of a needle. If you want to get through, you must leave absolutely everything behind. You must drop your most precious possession: your mind.

An awakened Christian sees and hears things that others do not, he has mystical insights not accessible to the majority. He will be called insane.

Well, Christ may be refering to worldly prestige.

As René Girard said

Quote

“Jesus would not be astonished that his teaching is not recognized. He has no illusion about the way in which his message will be received. To the glory that comes from God, invisible in this world, the majority prefer the glory that comes from humankind, a glory that multiplies scandal as it makes its way. It consists in gaining victory in mimetic rivalries often organized by the powers of this world, rivalries that are political, economic, athletic, sexual, artistic, intellectual . . . and even religious.”

That's the superficial interpretation, but you can reading the Bible as a real guide to enlightenment, much more direct than any other religious book. It's shocking. Other religions are more abstract. Christianity is very direct, it goes to the core, but you have to know how to interpret it, since it seems exactly the opposite of what it is. It seems like a guide to conduct that if you follow it, you'll be rewarded in another life, when in reality, it's clues to open your eyes to the absolute now

Admitting this is way too painful

Morality is very powerful. If You adjust your conduct You Will see God Now.

Agree, some behavior prevents the realization of the absolute, but there's no standard good behavior, like not being rich or not getting horny with your friend's girlfriend. It depends on each case; you have to be authentic, but morality varies, you have to feel what is yours, At a certain point, you realize that certain attitudes alienate you and closes you, so you avoid them completely.
