Jesus and Buddha Consciousness - Joseph Campbell & Bill Moyers

[@mbrowshan]

Campbell my eternal and infinite hero!

[@ryanp6870]

Dreams are “manifestations in image form of the energies of the body in conflict with each other”. Damn.

[@brucegelman9671]

If people understood this statement the world as we know it would cease to exist and something more beautiful would emerge.What that is I fear we may never know

[@drdvrdvrdvr]

I would not say 'in conflict with' but 'interacting with'

[@Aonexia]

There is a very famous saying of the past that explains this reality so that even a child can understand. It's a children's nursery rhyme and it goes like this: "Row, row, row your boat gently down the stream; merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily life is but a Dream."Life is but a Dream...

[@Thutmosis7]

@@bassdvant you need go to the Gnostic texts. Plus literally they have never been a Jesus. Your third eye would of to open up to understand it. It’s a lot more deeper

[@bassdvant]

@@AL_THOMAS_777 But the context of that story is that he was addressing the judges of the day, who were the authority in charge of spiritual laws as well as the community laws, hence they were "little gods". it didn't mean they were literal gods, they were God's representatives.

[@bassdvant]

@@Thutmosis7 I understand the metaphorical arguments on the bible. And historically, yes, there was a Jesus. Paul wrote about the Gnostics, and they were heretics.

[@g.slothouwer998]

Campbell quotes Gospel of Thomas, logion 108. It resembles the Hindu saying 'tat tvam asi', 'That is you'.

[@simplytruth9729]

I don't think so perhaps. I'm not sure most individuals want to be open to enlightenment. It is too fearful, too complex and it may alienate them from their companions.

Buddha would not be Buddha if Buddha knew Buddha was Buddha

[@Lord-of-D]

In addition to the reference from the Thomas gospel is the breaking of bread and supping of wine in observance of he which came before us. This we do in all things. To do otherwise is to court annihilation. Consider yourself in His eyes, but do not put yourself before Him. Or any other for that matter.

[@TheAzerbijian]

Amazing how we can hear the words of another (Campbell’s) then just turn right around and hear our own instead. 😝

[@ValleyData]

Amen.

[@goodfellabeats]

What he said about Jesus makes a lot of sense IF you ignore all of the other things Jesus says and the context. If you read all the things Jesus says it very different the Buddha Consciousness. Sorry, Joseph Campbell is great you can't cut and paste 2 different philosophies to make them say the same thing.

[@Thutmosis7]

Jesus never exists in the first place. Its just energy period.

[@goodfellabeats]

Ok.

[@jamesharrison658]

Jesus did exist, he was definitely killed by pontius pilate order after being brought forward by jewish authorities for blasphemy. The debated part is if Jesus was the son of God.

[@jamesharrison658]

If everyone is inbred, that explains why you made a dumb comment. My point was that Jesus was a real man who became the figurehead of Christianity after his harsh punishment by the authorities, like Rosa Parks for the civil rights movement, or Anita Sarkeesian for the feminist movement.

[@drummerboy737]

@bv4n He explained why he did, the Pharisees had seen he was the Son of God and had blasphemed the Holy Spirit.

You just heard the keys to your bliss.Now what are you going to do about it pilgrim?

[@bassdvant]

I think he got this one wrong in my opinion, he left out any explanation of the phrase " drinks from my mouth". I thought about this and came up with "what comes from Jesus' mouth" ....his word, he is the Logos. Therefore, if we drink of his mouth, we are being nourished by his word. Therefore, you're not automatically of him or like him, until you drink of his word and let it change you. You aren't automatically God.

[@bassdvant]

@@PhilipPedro2112 not really, I believe we are not God, but made in his image.

[@PhilipPedro2112]

@@bassdvant I believe the only valid definition of God is "all that exists". In the Hindu scriptures that are referenced here, Brahma can be represented by the individual human consciousness from birth to death. He opens his eyes and a world comes into being, closed his eyes and the world dissolves. The scriptures of both Hindu and Abrahamic religion are myth and to be correctly interpreted as metaphor, not as literal reality. In truth, no gods or supernatural entities exist, never have and never will.

[@bassdvant]

@@PhilipPedro2112 how do you know nothing supernatural exists?

[@drummerboy737]

If it was all a dream why die for nothing at all? Why be tortured and then nailed to a cross? He could have just went about His business

[@christopherneal3138]

drummerboy737 Good question

[@fargo9995]

You haven’t been doing your reading.

[@drummerboy737]

@@fargo9995 correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm concerned it would objectively proceed as an argument from ignorance without further clarification or argument. We should probably argue positions that are helpful to those who haven't read but want to know the truth, wouldn't you agree? that seems a position helpful to the bhuddist doctrine of dharma I think

[@fargo9995]

drummerboy737 Well before Christ showed up, people were living like a bunch of wild beasts. And then there he was, arms stretched on a crucifix covered in blood. That image have spoken to a lot of people and is still audible that we humans can live beyond our selfish interests, for our hearts to recognize its capacity fo love and compassion.

[@fargo9995]

drummerboy737 Thats the whole point of dying for sins. I think the message is, even if it all is a dream we don’t necessarily have to live in a nightmare.

His Buddhism is totally wrong. It might match later day Mahayana but not what the Buddha himself taught.

[@johnshee07]

I agree. It's a western interpretation... but that doesn't mean it's of no value

[@thuscomeguerriero]

Fox You right. I'm no scholar but I think he might be conflating Pantheism with Buddhism. Certainly Theraveda Buddhism has nothing to do with what Campbell is saying here.

[@lnbartstudio2713]

Buddha himself discouraged just the kind of idolatry you favor here. A little ancient understanding about your sure footed fundamentalist religion for you there Fox: " To know what is right and wrong in god-centered religions, all that is needed is to do as you are told. But in a human-centered religion like Buddhism, to know what is right or wrong, you have to develop a deep self-awareness and self-understanding. And ethics based on understanding are always stronger than those that are a response to a command. So to know what is right and wrong, the Buddhist looks at three things - the intention, the effect the act will have upon oneself and the effect it will have upon others. If the intention is good (rooted in giving, love and wisdom), if it helps myself (helps me to be more giving, more loving and wiser) and help others (helps them to be more giving, more loving and wiser), then my deeds and actions are wholesome, good and moral." Ven Dhammika
