I appreciate the reply, that is a very interesting view point. Nice to see another who has experienced some of the things I have. I do feel that the original teachings have been lost in translation today. I am a progressive person by nature but I wish I could find a close to the original text I can to compare it to today's teachings. So many off shoots of various religions have claimed to know the true faith but they all fall short due to their own greed(its a business) and the personality defaults of most of their congregations.
