Maybe you look questionable? I had a stop over in the states on my way from Mexico to Canada a couple of years ago and got waved through as soon as they saw my canadian passport.
Hmm, then again, US gov't probably has more to worry about from it's own citizens than from canadians:)
I should add that even without the help and research of translation experts it is fairly simple to grasp what Jesus is saying if you don't view it through the interpretation of the church or society. I had the good fortune of avoiding both by starting to read it around 6.
Being the way has a long tradition in both india and china. Jesus was essentially following the script of a bhakti guru. The easiest route for the ignorant masses. Everyone says it. Some evidence of a jew in india named isis learning yoga.
As for having the true meaning, dude it's a translation, this is what the translation experts say. Hey, it's your call, you want to believe the translation experts or you want to believe the catholic church?
Jesus founded his church, Paul corrupted that and founded the catholic church.
English translations have jesus calling himself continuosly the son of man and saying we are all son of man(adam), we are all brothers and sisters etc... The trinity lie was in part based on using this as a messianistic title to seperate Jesus from other humans. However, in the language of the time he was basically just saying "listen, i'm just an ordinary joe like you, just another human". Perhaps a more accurate translation (this one I have no objective proof for but others hold it as well) would be what is possible when man attains perfection. Perfection in this case is entrance into the kingdom of heaven, which Jesus kept wisely mentionning is 'in you'. Or translated as a part of you.
The church controlled by controlling access to the bibles and simply providing interpretations. Later on, sure you had your bible, but it had sanitized translations.
Humans have two brains each perceives and interacts with the world differently. Equanimity is the shared compromise and support of our duality. As within so without.
Simulations only exist within time. Humans, trapped by time, have forked reality into personal sims. Step out of time and step into awareness.
Walk the paths and you'll see....except scientology, everybody knows that isn't a real religion.
Seriously though, even read a wiki on hindu cosmology. The point is regardless which path you take to the top, once there you can see all the paths that lead up.
Of course, it isn't spelled out so simply. You don't teach a child integrals before addition.
Even the corrupted definition of the attribution of omnipresence of the christian god is from the teaching that god is everything. Unfortunately, paul corrupted the church in it's formation, laying the groundwork for doublespeak that would chain the masses in ignorance. One can only wonder at the manipulation needed to still include Jesus saying we are god/part of god in the bible and yet convince the masses that only Jesus is God.
I think everybody should read the bible at least once. It is an eye-opener to just how much ignorance there is on both sides as to what the true foundations of christianity are.
Depends on how you define leader. The greatest destroyer does not a great leader make. Leading has many dimensions.
Sadly, the worst leaders, those unable to follow and compromise, are usually the greater number in terms of historical impact. The big difference, is that the great leaders still have people to this day trying to follow their example.
I used to literally sleep through my classes. Fellow students complained. I still got all A's. Even without applying oneself, a genius should be able to grasp something that's so simple that it bores him, so no excuse for bad grades....unless we're talking highschool with petty tyrants like my math teacher who would take 50% off homework for not showing work.
Truth be told, I didn't get A's in languages, it was only last year that I grasped what a syllable was.
Depends on your definitions. Are men really 'creating' when most of what they do is stack things? Sadly, In all my travels, i've encountered very few truly creative men. Both men and women consume, frequently though, it is the women who will regurgitate what they consumed into a more complete usable form.
Also do not forget, that it is frequenlty women who stoke the fires of creativity in man. Is man really smarter when woman has got him to accomplish everything around her without lifting a finger? We are inseperable.
Form and function are intertwined. It is simple science. Machines made with different ratios and different lengths are going to operate differently. Did you not learn about fulcrums and lever lengths? If you can't see the postural and physiological similarities of top athletes in their respective sports and how they appear different from other sports then you are just plain blind. If you don't understand that thousands of years of human adaptation to different diets and different climates has produced populations with forms adapted to those conditions(don't try to be a pedant asshole with this, all populations can contain all postures, which posture is dominant varies between cultures).
As for learning, do you not understand that regardless of all the similarities between male and female, the biggest difference is that all of our cells, including brain cells, are floating in a chemical soup that is greatly different between the two sexes. If you don't understand the effect of environment on gene expression...
Don't allow the collective stupid belief of sexual equality to stifle any logical thought. Use science, not your pissant societal indoctrination.
Men good at discovering/creating patterns. Right. Positive.
Women good at learning/implementing patterns. Left. Negative.
A person in balance will have both aspects, but always each sex can reach greater heights in it's own field. The societal pendulum swung the other way the past century so you'll a lot more right sided women and left sided men.
The best leaders are always the best followers and vice-versa.
I don't know if I would use the term 'rule followers', but definitely women seem to have more flexible postures. Although the pendulum made a swing to the other side with the whole 'feminism' movement. You have a lot more bull headed manly posture women running over people to get what they want and a lot more spineless, submissive males, geeks anyone?
Really smart/intelligent people usually end up as lackeys for other people, but hey, lots of men now a days like to have clueless bosses ruling their lives. So if that's your sort of thing...
Your problem is that you are using a naive layperson perspective for your definition of God, equally grievous as using a naive religious description.
What if 'God' is simply the sum total of everything. Are we not created in his image? We, as 'individual' humans are composed of hundreds of different systems, with different purposes, all somehow working together as a functioning whole.
God, put simply, is the set of all sets. Absolutely no problem in science studying that.
The placebo effect is your internal link to the subjective debugger. Fortunately, or unfortunately, you can't connect to the big server until you've learned to control your client.
This is just due to some young whippersnapper convincing management that switching part of the simulation from Lisp to C/C++ would speed up calculations.

It seems you don't know the definition of arbitrary.
The discovery was made by looking at his model. He was probably the first to see it. Whether he understood what he was seeing...
Wow, modded insightful for guessing.
You would have spent less time reading the article, and thereby obviating the need to type what you did, than you did typing out your moronicity.

Which is probably why I said unless we're talking about high school, no?

It is the unknowning masses who created the stupid definition that gets railed against by ignorant science fanbois.

Then again, I'm guessing most 7 yr olds don't have a meditation practice.
Too funny, all those requests for citations and your retorts are exactly the same, devoid of any proof but your belief.
B's? I see they're dropping the bar for genius.
Great, that's all we need, more womanly men who don't know how to lead.
