No I conflate them all as having the same spiritual root; at the bottom of each lies a pantheistic, solipsistic view of each man fancying himself as his own God on his own throne. Yes there are window dressing differences between the various eastern movements, but in the end there is only one central conflict and one choice that all men face. Christ or Hell!

You can disagree with such a notion if you wish and I did find dozens of sources relating to the opinions I offered. Yet the greatest path to “enlightenment” is the the one which a man takes to discover just how much like God he is NOT! The irony is that the more a man embraces the person he really is, the more like a son of God he becomes. For we are all prodigals and we must all come to a place where we discover ourselves spiritually in the gutter and hungry without resouces and spiritually empty...only then can we turn to Heaven and say...You are my God and you have created me, create in me a clean heart and take not your Spirit from me!

You are entitled to any opinion you wish to hold. In your case, however, when you air them they demonstrate your profound, almost unbelievable ignorance of the topics you choose to discuss. There is also more than a touch of paranoia in your words, INMO.

But as I said, you are entitled to such misery.
