Guest guest Posted November 3, 2007 Report Share Posted November 3, 2007 Johan, I would not make this connection. Christ, in these terms, would be an avatara of an individual, and there is no direct evidence to associate him with Krsna. In ancient egypt, there is a symbol for Savior. It looks very much like a cross. Coincidence? Probably. Why? In japanese, there is a symbol for 10. It looks like a cross. It is pronounced " Jew " . We cannot make the connection of Krsna and Christ with out making the connections of savior, cross, and jew. In ancient times of moses, he formed the israelites into the formation of a giant cross, - if you look at how the meetings vs. family sizes were set up, that's the shape it would make. If you look at the scene of old testament where the serpent was lifted up, it is interesting to note that Queztal of the americas was seen as a savior god. Does any of this have meaning? Maybe, maybe not. Instead, look at the meaning of Isha. Isha means Lord, like Supreme Lord. Yshua is one way of writing YHVH. YHVH means something like " Lord " . Coincidence? When a person looks at the meaning of YHVH and the meaning of Atmaan, they may find the two definitions being identical. Coincendence? As for incarnations: some sects say Siva is the ultimate, others Brahman, others Visnu, others Krsna, others Narayana. some say they are all the same, others that there are subordinates, others that they are merely concepts anthropomorphized. In jewish mythos, death is an angelic personality with 70 appearances (or 72... cant recall at the moment), but to humans, death is what happens to a cockroach when stepped on with a boot. In christian mythos, the holy ghost and spirit of god are defined various ways, sometimes all pervading or multidimensional, other times as a shapeshifter, possessor, or anthropomorphic. In the vedas, we can find stories of beings we think of as immortal being killed, and other beings which represent solid immortality. In egyptian mythos, There as of yet appears to be no evidence that any of the deities were considered truly immortal, only long lived. The death of osirus, for example, and the temple rites mentioned in the book of the dead. Oddly, we can look at two examples: mortality of godlike beings in the mahabharata, and mortality of godlike beings in book of the dead. Compare to: longevity of antediluvians in old testament, and longevity of antediluvians in epic of gilgamesh. notation: deep time speaks in terms of millions of billions of years of sequence. Great floods are mentioned in various ancient texts and descriptions of people living in those times seem to overlap. What does not correlate appears to be the years. if the time lines of antediluvians are adjusted according to the calendars of deep time (floods, ice age, dinosaurs, etc.) we may find the years look surprisingly similar. Factoring out these quasi immortals with deities (as anything which is not truly permanent is not truth) allows us to ponder more accurately as to which character in history may be the incarnation of another. Note that anything temporary (has a beginning or end) is delusion... like your mortal body. but mortality is delusion because it is temporary...
