I liked Jesus, in fact I spent my whole childhood in love with him. He was the only one who liked kids according to the stories and from what I could see. I still think he was an amazing man who was fully realized and understood Oneness with the" I AM" . We are all connected as the ONE Light, call it what you want. I don't care, being in touch with our beings at the atomic level, Quantum physics, Particle physics, it doesn't matter. Of course they would kill him again and anyone else that showed you a path out of our deep conditioning and lack of awareness. Just go in public and watch fools walk into lamp posts looking at their cell phones. Awareness, is the path to awakening from our existential sleep, there is nothing but awareness NOW. We don't need a reason to exist. How about that,huh? There is no difference between inner and outer, the stars and the universe are inside and outside. Big and small are the same, it is a illusion, a very clever one created by expression of the will and intent expressed in duality.It is the only way for the One to experience itself. We are that.

You talk a lot about physics.
So where is your maths to back up what you say?
OK, I'll start you off:
E = MC^2
But it doesn't
E = [gamma - can't be arsed to look up the ascii code] MC^2
( MC^2 is for the situation where you are not moving wrt what you are looking at.)
OK, I'll have to give to equation:
E = MC^2 ( 1/squrt (1 - v^2/C^2)
Have to agree with LeighShelton here.

Haha. You squirt???!!!
@MyrnaMyrna Square root.
I think you might have gotten a bit lost there. I'm glad you're happy but I see no assurance in building shimmering castles on empty sands in bright hope they will support you.
And I'm not entirely convinced Jesus ever existed, for that matter. You might want to read Nailed, on your way over to a group that is closer to your alignment.

I am prepared to believe that there was a person in history who stared the xian religion.
He would be above SilverEyes on here. 
@El-loco That would be John the Baptist. But a historical Jesus? Maybe...but probably not.
Yes the Jesus meme has proved to be one of the most resilient, replicating, dividing, evolving and changing into a thousand Jesuses, perfectly adaptable to different cultures, personalities, and psychologies, political ideologies and historical contexts. Of course it doesn't mean any of it is really true, and in all likelihood, none of it is. In fact that is the point about a mythological figure: people take and adapt as they want to make them feel good and self satisfied. King Arthur, Robin Hood, Sherlock Holmes, etc.. powerful largely or completely mythological figures that come to represent something we want to believe in, a figure that inspires in some way. And they keep evolving and changing with the generations, just like Jesus has. But I've always been someone who clearly separates historical fact from historical fiction. Unfortunately, religious believers largely don't do this. The 'feel good' factor is too strong to give up.
As for the universe stuff in your post, I'm afraid that sort of New Age pseudo religious talk just bounces off me. Channeling ones inner Chopra Depaak.

Indeed! As a positivist and skeptic, I find such considerations to be amorphous Depaak talk, or as Michael Shermer called it, woo woo.
@pnullifidian Yeah, woo woo... I was gonna say that, but I thought I shouldn't. I saw him at a debate at Caltech a year or two ago (on youtube) in a room of 200++ men and women top of their field scientists, and the consensus of opinion was that Depaak spoke fluent woo woo. They also told him to take a few classes to learn a few facts about quantum mechanics and theoretical physics and so on. Really brought him down to size. Sam Harris was there. It was wonderful. The Mystic Pizza set, as I called New Agers, just love his kind of woo woo though.
True. I don't know if Jesus ever really existed, especially as told by the church, but if any of the teachings ascribed to him are true, many of them match quantum physics and Buddhist ideas that I agree with.

Indeed they do. Apparently there may have been an individual , a Jewish rabbi (teacher) who's name was something like Joshua the Nazarene who taught that the "Kingdom of God (Heaven) was within. Sounds very Buddhist in some ways.
