RE: Heavenly dance
Dear Sunanda
Interesting that Hinduism and Buddhism embrace this word 'ignorance' when in modern day the supreme love of GOD asks us to 'replace the word ignorance with innocence.'
This is just one example of the difference of the old beliefs that keep people in separation and the new unity consciousness that many are now participating in. I include you in the unity and appreciate that you are sharing literal beliefs from a different culture and state of being. 😉
I love comparative religion but I also love the positivity of what GOD shows us now.
Love beyond measure

Hi Kim,
Well if you recall that thread with the test - "Which religion are you?" - I scored 97% Hinduism. ;)So I'd see it personally as containing more in it for the future than the authoritarian religions ("Believe this book and this preacher or else".) But it also has its aspects of some superstition. All the present religions seem to.
But take karma and reincarnation - IMHO any religion not including these has no place in the future... They give a rational basis for morality and explain a lot.

You said:

but I think we have to accept that 'ignorance' is just a word with many definitions. In this case I've always taken it in the context of 'not knowing who we truly are' ie that we are God. I think it's a reference to the fact that people believe that they are separate and are ignorant of the fact that they (we) are not.
Love

I scored the same earlier in the year 😀 LOL!
Yes I agree in fact scholars tell me that Christianity did include this before it was removed from the first two bibles of Marcion and Origen. That's why I like the Jesus Sutra's they are more true to the original.

Yes I appreciate that. However, it is very apparent that it is GOD's will for us to understand and appreciate the impact certain words have on our biology shown to us by Professor Bruce Lipton, Dr Emoto etc. Maybe our consciousness is at the level to be able to understand the science of words and their impact now in our 21st century consciousness. I feel that this is something that Jesus also tried to teach us with 'no judgement' and 'the measure you give will be the measure you receive'.
We have the choice to select positive, negative or neutral words IMHE. We can replace fear with love and ignorance with innocence. As Jesus said 'the last will be first and the first will be last to enter the Kingdom of Heaven' To have the innocence of a child is the way through the eye of the needle.
Does GOD mind if people are innocent? I feel not. 😉 As long as we are happy! Hence why the Gospel of Thomas concentrates on Happiness.
Is there an equivalent scripture on Happiness in Hinduism?
