  4. Hello

    Hi Mich. Welcome to the forum.

    @Daniel Saw this picture in a post by Giles https://www.thedaobums.com/topic/950-everyone-post-some-favorite-quotes/?do=findComment&comment=1036864 The Heart chakra's symbol is a 6 pointed star. 2 triangles, one pointing up and the other down to represent balance. It is our center, with 3 chakras above and 3 below. @Nungali another one with “these 'three planes of existence' in religion.”

  7. Yoga in Christianity

    Seems so yes: Technically yes, but not in intend I think. Christianity too, often links in with local religious beliefs and sometimes gets those beliefs totally wrong.

    (my highlight) This ‘if’ is moot - the quote didn’t say that. What the quote actually said is definitely not Christian. It gives the impression Jesus and Babaji: - are equals; whereas God has no equals. - “planned” together; whereas Christians try to do God’s will.

    Yes. I think Christianity kept that the same. Reminds me of Philippians 2:7 https://biblehub.com/interlinear/philippians/2-7.htm Yes. Definitely Christianity kept that the same. Reminds me of https://biblehub.com/text/2_corinthians/4-7.htm

    It does not even exist within Christianity, ‘Christ Consciousness’ is not a Christian concept.

    In conclusion, old3bob got it spot on: Exactly.
  13. Yoga in Christianity

    The statement he quotes from the book is entirely false (see my posts above); his OP has been answered.
  14. Yoga in Christianity

    It’s entirely unrelated to “bliss”. Saint Paul was referring to being proud (καύχησιν) of the Corinthians (he founded that community). https://biblehub.com/text/1_corinthians/15-31.htm
  15. Yoga in Christianity

    Exactly. 1 Corinthians 15:31 And what it refers to (persecution) is clear from the preceding line: 30 And as for us, why do we endanger ourselves every hour? 31 I face death every day …

  19. Stories vs. facts

    Duh everybody knows that, it’s why e.g. Jesus often spoke in parables. Try putting it in a little story.
  20. Yoga in Christianity

    Is that ‘Autobiography of a Yogi’ by Paramhansa Yogananda? Saint Paul (Saul of Tarsus, 1st century) did not levitate. ‘Saint Paul of the cross’ (18thcentury) did levitate. Levitation is not unusual in Christianity e.g. Saint Francis of Assisi and Saint Teresa of Avila both did. No, they have their own Christianity system. No, it’s not a secret. No, it’s open to all.

  22. Enlightenment - what is it?

    Are you willing to pay the price for ‘enlightenment’ i.e. the destruction of relationships. In my experience IRL, people will first blame and attack; keep tracking and they’ll start to ‘idolise’.
