Who or what is Jesus? I am not going to give all the answers or even my answer. I had a friend who thought a lot about Jesus, and so I will give one of his answers.
Bob was (is) an Episcopalian and a one time deacon in the Liberal Catholic Church. He had studied all kinds of psychology and spirituality. He could write volumes on what Jesus might or might not have been. He told me that every church had a Jesus. A thoughtform or egregore that answered the prayers of the church members as best it could. He told me that he could see these thoughtforms. Like the one he saw at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine in NYC. Bob said it appeared in the form of a giant white dove that hovered over the congregation during a Christmas celebration.
He also told me that these local thoughtforms were part of larger thoughtforms. A parish thoughtform was part of a diocese thoughtform, which was part of a denominational thoughtform which was part of a unversal thoughtform for everything labeled Christianity. Like a very confusing federal form of governance.
I think there something to what Bob told me. There is a scripture that says we live, move and have our being in Jesus. So why not? Many layers, but still simply Jesus.

The Illuminati
Supposedly this is the group of people that controls the world. The trilateral commission. The Bilderberg group. The Council on Foreign Relations. I happen to think there is something to this. As to how much control the secret rulers exert over the world is any one's guess.
But if these or this group(s) want to dispel the rumors of worldwide domination, simple, just hold open meetings. Publish the transcripts. Or leave us to wonder.

Faith Healers Great and Small
I think faith healers have a gift of healing. I don't think it is as large as people want it to be and I don't dismiss it like some skeptics do.
I liked Oral Roberts. I would have never sent him a dime. But I appreciated his ministry. The problem comes when he claims or is pushed into healings he can't accomplish. Let's say I can heal colds. One touch from me and your child's cold vanishes. The family down the street brings their child and expects me to heal it from cancer. So we put on a show and pretend that the cancer is in remission. This works for awhile. Then the child dies. This we do not publicize. That would just bring people down, beside I can still heal colds and we all have bills to pay. So the legend continues.
I guess my real problem with faith healers is that they don't know or deny they are practicing energy healing. They would have to redefine Christianity and allow that other religions are just as valid as it is.
So it is up to us to put all the pieces of the puzzle together. Individual people sorting things out for themselves. So yes I believe in faith healing. I believe in a lot more. I believe in your ability to think for yourselves.

Guru
I like my gurus dead. They are a lot easier to deal with that way.
Live gurus tend to contradict themselves. They tend to have that human characteristic of making mistakes. A dead guru you can deify. You can reinterpret their seeming contradictions for a new time and generation. You can talk to their spirits and ask for clarifications. Dead gurus give you time to think and react. Dead gurus allow you to grow out of their shadows. And when you stand in your own light, you can put the guru back on the shelf for safe keeping. Yes, dead gurus are the best.

Findhorn Community
Findhorn is or was a miracle place. Rocky soil in a cold climate where nothing was supposed to grow. And yet it did. Why?
The answer is in the title isn't it? Community. Not just people. But animals, fairies, nature spirits, and other spirits all working to make the seeming impossible happen. Harmony among the interested parties seems to make things happen. Even in a crap environment.
So what is the lesson? If you are in a crappy place start building a harmonious community. Allow living people to join if they are in agreement with your goals. If not, then know that there are tons of help and support from many other realms. That is how the seemingly impossible gets accomplished.

ESP
Extrasensory perception is hard to prove to someone who has never experienced it, and even harder to dislodge from someone who has. I am someone who has.
I was at a bookstore in Atlanta when something told me I needed to leave. Instinctively, I argued with the something. After all, I had only gone through a couple of the sections I normally go through. The something persisted and so I left. When I got home I flipped on the radio and heard about a major car accident that occurred in an intersection that I had driven across about a half hour before. I am not saying that I would have been in the accident, but I am saying that I avoided a long delay that would've ensued had I stayed in the bookstore longer than I did.
Another time, I was driving home after a night at a club. (I was sober). I had no where to go the next day. So I was driving slow in the slow lane. Once again something told me to speed up and get into one of the fast lanes. (I85 had at that time four northbound lanes) Once again I argued. Not in a hurry, no where to be. The something persisted and I speed up and got into lane number 4. Sure enough, I topped a hill and there was a stranded motorist in the slow lane with a wrecker guy frantically trying to hook the car up and get it off the freeway.
So yes I believe in ESP. It works for me. I don't exactly understand. But then again I don't have to understand the internal combustion engine to start my car. It just starts. So I will not waste my time trying to convince anyone. I will spend my time trying to develop my ESP skills. And if you believe, then we have something to talk about don't we.?

Divination
Divination is the so called art-science of foretelling the future. The Greeks believed that the future already exits and that it is coming toward us. I think many possible futures exits and only one of them can come toward us at a time.
So what makes one future appear as opposed to another? The law of attraction, the law of karma, the law of grace, all of the above and other factors not yet acknowledged? So we can see why divination is a difficult proposition to begin with.
Let's say I cast the runes for you and tell you not to take the freeway on Monday morning because there will be a horrific accident. As it turns out, you are sick on Monday morning and so you don't go anywhere. You call me Tuesday and tell me that I am a crackpot, there was no accident at all. Of course not because you stayed home. When the guy swerved to miss a skunk you weren't there to hit. So I guess I could make predictions and not tell anyone until after the fact. Then I would have to prove that the prediction was before the event it predicted. Doing such would render divination pointless.
If I told you that I knew about your accident before it happened and that I didn't want to tell you about it. Well you can see how that would destroy friendships. So divination has to be a tool to tell someone what the most likely future is and that they can change it. So what if you look like a crackpot. Your friend avoided the accident and is alive. What more can you ask for?
