Divine Descents and Jivanmuktas

[Guest guest]

Namaste All,

 

So many to respond to that I will respond generally, so people don't

take it personally and have need to respond, and upset themselves.

 

I do not know for sure who is a Jivanmukta for I am not one. I can

only take the list of even Divine Descents from the opinion of

others. If they are Saints or Muktas then it is relevant.

E.G.

 

'He spoke of various of them as having come with the Lord before, in

His previous incarnations as Rama, Krishna, Jesus Christ;' p89. 'The

Visions of Sri Ramakrishna---Sri Ramakrishna Math.

 

As per the translations of the Thomas Gospel, I have looked at

three different versions by Coptic and Greek scholars, and there is

much agreement so I used this version;-

> John Abrowus.

 

THE GOSPEL OF THOMAS

 

 

Translations by: Thomas O. Lambdin (Coptic version)

B.P Grenfell & A.S. Hunt (Greek Fragments)

Bentley Layton (Greek Fragments)

And Craig Schenk…

 

 

IA: Editorial Symbols

 

I have followed the Nag Hammadi Library standard for

typographical symbols in this file. Text contained within [square

brackets] indicates a damaged portion of the manuscript where the

translators have attempted a reconstruction. Text within

(parentheses) indicates comments or text added by the translator

for clarification purposes. Text within <pointed brackets>

indicates a scribal error (spelling, grammatical, etc) in the

original, where the translator has made a correction. Text within

{funky brackets} indicates superfluous text added by the scribe.

 

I am happy that people think my purports are innocent and I hope I

can keep it that way, aphorisms are more important than essays. It

is just my opinion from what I have imbibed in 20 years of Eastern

Studies. It is Prasad and is not compulsory reading. For those that

like them, I have written them in a way that my simple uneducated

mind can understand. Don't feel I am insulting anyone by my simple

innocence on them, that is the state of my mind it seems. However I

can take refuge in the fact that simple or not, it doesn't really

exist..............ONS...Tony.

:-)

For those who insist on not really existing, maybe they could

consider not to appear as though they do or...the way they seem to

do...
