[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]God reveals herself in very evidential ways in every moment.  Most people are not open enough to perceive these things.  Once you decide to raise your own vibration to meet the vibration of the spiritual world, you’ll see all kinds of amazing things.  Everyone gets there eventually.  It often takes several lifetimes.  Jesus was able to do the things he did because he was able to walk the earth yet remain connected to spirit.  He said “these things you can do, and greater”.  Spend time in meditation.  Ask for signs.  Pay attention to what is happening around you.  Slow down and notice.  You’ll start seeing all kinds of magic. [/quote]

Several lifetimes? Don’t Christians believe in Heaven (or Hell) not reincarnation?

Taking several lifetimes to get to the point of elevating your mind to higher vibrations is very Hindu Dharma like where reincarnation until the point of Moksha is the belief.

God is God of everyone - not just Christians.[/quote]

Yes, that’s also a very Hindu belief. Christians and Abrahamic religions in general have the belief that there are false gods and a true god. That’s why they have to proselytize and convert people.

I don’t think most Christians believe in reincarnation or that their God is the same as God in Hindu Dharma.

To the OP: Here’s what is said in the Bhagavad Gita

BG 4.8
paritrāṇāya sādhūnāṁ vināśhāya cha duṣhkṛitām
dharma-sansthāpanārthāya sambhavāmi yuge yuge

“To protect the righteous, to annihilate the wicked, and to reestablish the principles of dharma I appear on this earth, age after age.”

This is why we have the 10 avatars and why we have certain established ‘holy’ people that have attained enlightenment while here on earth that continue to teach the dharma. [/quote]

PP here — do you mind explaining more about avatars?
My child watches The Legenda of Korra where there is an avatar trained to bend light/wind/earth/fire. Is it like that?[/quote]

No, thought the concepts of avatar, chakra, words like Bhumi, Naga, things like the third eye, the sun temple and sun warriors and such from shows like Avatar and Legend of Korra are all very influenced from Hinduism.

In Sanskrit, avatar means to 'descend. It is when Brahman (The higher power which we do not believe has any form, known as God) takes a form and descends to earth when needed.  The 10 forms pretty much follow an evolutionary view of the world. Scattered in between the 10 Avatars are enlightened teachers.[/quote]

Thank you for explaining this! That concept makes sense to me. It sounds like this is something that could also be reflected in the concept of “prophets”. Enlightened souls that experience the wisdom and enlightenment  of a formless higher power, which is then shared with others through “testimony” or “teaching”.

Thank you![/quote]
