Then you do not suggest that it is through Christ alone that one fins salvation?

If Christ had not died on the cross would man be able to enter 'Heaven'?

Man finds salvation only in himself. Christ serves as a light. Christ's word is immortal, but only made immortal through the epitome of selfless acts: martyrdom for human salvation. And even then, evil still turned its ugly head in the generations to come. With Jesus Christ, a new level of salvation was bought unto us, but there is one more level we must achieve to become beings of pure love, and finally enter heaven.

This is crucial so please bear with me. Did you mean to say a new level was BROUGHT unto us....?

Brought unto us by us, by our collective consciousness, through our form, man. It has happened throughout our history. The savior of the Stellar Cult, Horus, was the same spiritual concept as Christ. His wisdom brought all men into brotherhood, with the Great Pyramids serving as a testament to what man can accomplish through brotherhood. The pyramids must not be viewed as any act of vanity or monument to the greatness of the Egyptian civilization, for they were not made for the present, but for the future. That is to say, our generation.

We exist in the present, and must use the wisdom of the past to achieve the future.[/i]

Lost me at evil. The concept of the Divine holding "good" and "evil" as polarities seems spurious at best. With sociological terms, the words have meaning. Spiritually so, it doesnt hold water. Concepts like balance, alignment, perspective, and clairity are Divine.

thesonofman, please dont let me derail any response you have for shin. I too am curious in the answer.

Good and evil is the polarity of the universe. It is in this complete contradiction that the universe exists, and that we as human exist, for humans are the embodiment of the universe. The complete compilation of the wisdom of those who came before us signifies our conscious development. The conscience, however, is not an entity that exists in the physical world we perceive, that is to say, the world of material which is thereby the world of the vain.

The two components of the Universe make one. The physical, and the divine. The good, and the evil. Let it be known that only in the divine may we find happiness, as the pursuing of the material leads only to the void.
