In many traditions?Actually, there are resurrections in many traditions. Of course they will be deemed myths by christianists. Well, yes, that is the point. A myth points to an experience one might have for themselves.
The most recent actual resurrection account that I have read is in a near contemporary account in *Autobiography of a Yogi *by Parmahansa Yogananda.
Veritas, I completely respect your study of “facts,” yet facts are contents. I am speaking of experience in a modality of knowing studiously ignored by the Church, christianists in general, and people who have not experienced that for themselves. In thes regard, perhaps you have disregarded certain statements I made I previous post, or you are reading them selectively?
In any case, it matters not. It seems you are satisfied with your position. No one of us changes unless that is experientially challenged. Conversation on here is just that, and is, it seems to me, too often used for self verification.
About your quote, from the first time I read it, I understood it to mean that facing the Truth implies the internal process of re-ordering the world on the basis of new data. That was my experience. My world died and was re-born in an instant of perception. It took years to sort it out. Not the fundametal fact of it, but how to speak it. People who that happens to are either instantly re-wired, and/or go through some perieod of re-adjuistment. You see, thay are dealing with an experiential actuality, not book learning or transmitted tradition. Therefore, science (organized thinking from a known, experiential premise) or suffering (discovery of the premise by inadequacy over time of the false premises) In any case, death is the great leveler, and reports from the edge of that, despite semantic distortion, tend to support something more fundamental that Catholicism. In the mean time Catholicism is perfectly adequate for the unquestioning, or those who have concluded on insufficient data. The Church, nevertheless, has all this knowledge, but in such cryptic form, I’d personally go somewhere else, where it is simpler and up front.
P.S. Phantasm; calm down. Shouting entrenches your opponent. Poor tactic.
I know of Mythra, but then again his followers fell off, being that ;
- They had no proof of any Resurrection.
- No Holy Spirit to carry them thru persecutions
- He didn’t fulfill any of the three hundred prophecies.
Now truly, there were obviously many who claimed prior to Christ [including Mythra] to be the Messiah, but they all died in ways that didnt fulfil the intricacies of scriptures.
So therefore, who cares about them.
Added - they didnt teach like Christ did. They were more ‘in it’ for power.
