russ_waters' proof might be that since jesus didn't go to the moon, that he didn't know what the hell he was talking about. i wonder if I'm right...
the way i see it, there are many different levels of consciousness:
10. Heaven Consciousness. Potentially, but not necessarily, uncontrollable, absolute bliss.
9. Near-Heaven Consciousness. Potentially, but not necessarily, uncontrollable, exceptional bliss.
8. Very High Consciousness. A very high degree of bliss and ecstasy.
7. Higher Consciousness. A high degree of bliss and very high degree of ecstasy.
6. Love Consciousness. Bliss and potentially, but not necessarily, uncontrollable, exceptional Love-state.
5. Absolute Peace Consciousness.
4. Burden Consciousness. Mild degree of encumbrance and disturbance of
Peace.
3. Dysteria Consciousness. Depression and potentially, but not necessarily, uncontrollable, disturbance of Peace.
2. Major Depression Consciousness. Major Depression and potentially, but not
necessarily, uncontrollable, high degree of disturbance of Peace.
1. Extreme Depression Consciousness. Extreme Depression and potentially, but
not necessarily, uncontrollable, extreme degree of disturbance of Peace.
0. Hell Consciousness. Absolute Depression and potentially, but
not necessarily, uncontrollable, absolute of disturbance of Peace.
and my hypothesis is that jesus knew them all too well (for his own damn good, i might add)! :P
and even though he didn't go to the moon, he did go to everyplace within himself to search for the kingdom of God.
whether he's the son of God i don't know for sure. i don't even know if i believe in jesus; i never met him face to face. that would prove that to me; that is the where the bar is in my book on that issue. the bar is arbitraily set by us.
may your journey be graceful
