Thought provoking to put it mildly, yes... Its a great take on all the great easter philosophies put into western philosophy's words and understanding. Beautiful. But... the troubling part for me is:where do we go from here? With all of this laid out for us, if we choose to embrace these lines of thinking, what does it do for us? Whats the result? It can be frustrating. So, yes, thought provoking, and frustrating...

I think it serves the planet and the species in that, if we study, compare, contrast, and then reconcile we might be able to alter the world view/culture which at present has us on the brink of self destruction. If we can see how much hindu ideas are mirrored in christianity maybe we can mature out of all the socio-political bs that is so rampant in both. But we can only be responsible for ourselves and our example and bein a personal matter its going to mean different things to different people

2:35 Truly astonishing I fully agree!

This understanding gives new meaning to loving thy neighbor as thyself. Because we are each other, so it makes no sense to treat each other badly.

You could perhaps imagine when you die you wake up as someone else, and this one self that feels like it's an "I" travels from body to body and experiences each and every one of us in turn. Wouldn't that make us want to make the world as great as possible for every one so each time we take on a new role it's a good time?

At least it is thought provoking
