Christianity Is REALLY Now DEAD In spite of all of the massive widespread outer appearances, Christianity is really DEAD ! Christianity was ORIGINALLY a valid Path of The Vairagi Masters. Jesus was a Vairagi Master, although He had some major FLAWS that led to His FAILURE. (The word "Vairag" means "mental DETACHMENT".) Christianity was BRUTALLY HIJACKED by the Romans, and GROSSLY DISTORTED and PERVERTED by the Nicene Council of the early Roman Catholic Church. This includes the DELETION of the Teaching of REincarnation, and the ADDITION of THREATS of ETERNAL DAMNATION IN HELL. Christianity is now a LIE, a FRAUD, and a SCAM. Every Christian priest and preacher in the world is like convicted former televangelist Jim Bakker [remember him?], taking people's money while UNABLE to deliver what they promise, in this case "salvation". Christians and their churches have now TOTALLY LOST CONTACT with the "Holy Spirit", in spite of all of the lip service about it. They don't even know what it IS, otherwise they would use the more descriptive names for it. One name for it is "The WORD", as described in John 1:1-5 KJV. The Word of God is NOT the text of any book, NOR is it the mouthings of any priest or preacher. Other names for it include "Bani" and "Shabda" or "Shabda Dhun". There is a type of yoga called "Shabda Yoga". The most descriptive names for it are "AUDIBLE LIFE STREAM" and "SOUND CURRENT". "Shabda Yoga" is simply LISTENING TO and PAYING ATTENTION TO, the "SOUND CURRENT". But in order to HEAR the Sound Current, a person must first be TUNED INTO IT. And this can ONLY be done by a PHYSICALLY-LIVING Vairagi Master, and Christianity now has NONE. A basic little-known LAW of the universes says, "A disciple in the human body MUST have a Master IN THE HUMAN BODY.", in order to receive Salvation. And Salvation REALLY means getting OFF the endless cycles of REincarnation between the physical and psychic planes, and going PERMANENTLY to at least the Soul Plane or higher, the TRUE Heavens. My best source of information about all of this is the GREATEST Book in the world, which is NOT the Bible, but "The Path of The Masters", by Dr. Julian P. Johnson, 1939, published by the Sant Mat organization, Radha Soami Satsang Beas, 458 pages, hardcover, ONLY $3.00 PPD, available from Science of the Soul Study Center, 4115 Gillespie St., Fayetteville, NC 28306; or 2415 E. Washington St., Petaluma, CA 94954, whichever address is closer to you. See also http://www.thewayoftruth.org (NEW Master!)
