However, by looking within, searching for guidance, we will find the peace each individual is searching for within ourselves thereby connecting with each other as well as connecting with the Collective, i.e. God that is always with us.
a. The Hermetica: the Mind of God as the Oneness which unites everything.
b. The Bible states that Jesus is/was the Son of God and since God is our Father as well as the Father to Jesus, Jesus is/was our Brother. The Bible also states that God is within each of us and therefore, we are part of God/Collective.
c. The Tao (The Way)
I would agree with your statement. That men have searched and searched for god, even if that is not exactly what they thought.
I find many, many congruencies from TLOO and The Bible. As all things are, the bible has had changes from each generation believing and interacting with it. Even if the alteration, was merely a distortion away from what The Bible was trying to metaphorically imply.
Then there's kings and priests and all sorts of people that have augmented The Bible and every other form of religion on the planet, to fit there agenda.
I believe one of the best ways to study religions like this, is through cross examination of many sources. Is it not awfully funny how almost all major religions, at the heart of the message, reflect one another.
This is also coming from someone who at one time worshipped the bible, then fought tooth and nail against the bible, only to see it come full circle. Were my own paradigm of understanding finds reflection in many of the bibles teachings.
