You've probably already found this, but there's a good collection online here: <a href="http://www.earlychristianwritings.com/" rel="nofollow">Early Christian Writings</a> Also, I really like this site: <a href="http://www.near-death.com/" rel="nofollow">Near Death</a>. Lots of interesting stuff in the Research Conclusion index section. Agree about the Christ/Buddha Mind.

Christ Consciousness and Buddha Mind are two versions of the same thing, in my view. Avatars assume appropriate context. The message is about ultimate human potential. Pageantry and sentimentalism get in the way, sometimes. It's pragmatic, if mystical at times.

Very interesting about the anointing oils, and I love this sort of stuff that gives possible new meanings to ancient writings like the Gospels. There was a <a href="http://godisnotanasshole.blogspot.com/2006/01/jesus-and-cannabis.html#c113668349464877003" rel="nofollow">comment by twit</a> on your site that I really liked, because I've suspected it myself: <blockquote>As for Jesus, i personally believe he's probably been greatly misunderstood &/or wrongly interpreted anyway. I tend to believe that he was trying to tell us, that we are ALL, the sons (& daughters) of God. The only thing that made him special was his acute awareness of that fact.</blockquote> Especially after reading the Gospel of Thomas, rereading the Gospels from the perspective that Jesus is saying that we're all the sons (& daughters) of God does make better sense to me, at least.
