Buddha and Jesus as Brothers

WHAT IF BUDDHA AND JESUS WERE BROTHERS, I HAVE HEARD THAT. JESUS WENT MISSING FOR 3 YEARS, WHAT IF HE AND SIDDARTHA WERE OUT WANDERING ABOUT DISCUSSING SPIRITUALITY AND THEY SAW THAT ALL RELIGION, TRUE SPIRITUALITY WAS THE SAME. THEY MADE A PACT TO TEACH THE SAME THING AND BE POOR AND HUMBLE AND NOT BE ATTACHED TO THE HUMAN FORM BUT HAVE NO FEAR OF TELLING MORTALS THAT THE SPIRIT IS ALL THE SAME AND THE GREAT MAGICIAN CHANGED THE WATER TO WINE AND THE GREAT BUDDHA WOULD NOT DECOMPOSE. THESE ARE MIRACLES AND THEY BOTH WERE ADEPT AT THEM. WHAT IF THEY WERE BROTHERS. HOW WOULD THAT MAKE YOU FEEL. FOOLISH? FOR THINKING OF ALL THOSE NON CHRISTIANS IN HELL OR WOULD YOU NOW THINK THERE WAS NO HEAVEN, WE JUST COME BACK UNTIL WE GET IT RIGHT. WHAT WOULD YOU FEEL? ASK YOURSELF. I HAVE BEEN ALL NIGHT. THE PROBLEM I CAME UP WITH IS WHO ARE THE PARENTS?

Really great, Miguel!

Artist Reply: Armando, I have always thought that art stemmed from, in it's beginnings the feelings of the Gods and the Cathedrals and the paintings and the printing of the Bible. I have always thought that is was the God's objectivity for us to create, in a smaller way than he did and sometimes suffer for the effort. As he must have when he had to Give his son and newi it upon the birthing and before. To know your child will suffer so at his end, a great sacrificial love and this is what we do as artists if you are true to it. You sacrifice of yourself for the happiness of others. A much smaller scale but notherless. Sacraficial. My friend the amor of a hermano to you. Miguel

Ooooooh I could go on and on about this, as a matter of fact we should! LOL, I'd like to take that one step further and say they were the same person, or at least as an incarnate....wit hthe same mission both Christs....have you ever noticed the similarities? Anyway....it's not a truth of mine, but I could philosophise all day long on it. Great work.

Artist Reply: Lara, thank you for your brief discourse on the subject, it would please me for you to go on and on. And illuminate me to your thoughts. So when you are ready to speak about your thoughts, I am relly ready to listen, miguel

Excellent concept Michael .... God & BUddha I belive are in us all ...

Artist Reply: See the concept last night late was where was Jesus those 3 years or so when he was unheard from, I beleive he was in Asia, with the Oriental faction because the new testament takes a left right around the book of Paul, where the love fest started. So I am just putting the question out there to see if I am getting similiar feelings. So far most answers are we are all one. This I love. So my answer is great and I am great feeling.

Well Michael, this is a very thought provoking, beautiful work. I think we are all here on the earth to learn to love each other, whatever means we use to arrive at that is what counts. We are all brothers!

Artist Reply: Christi, I find that most of us have the same ideology, that is the point of the discussion or the provocation. I want to know how people feel about their sacred parts. It is important to me to know about others, so that we may become one. Miguel
