What is to be taken literally?

Well, we are each unique individuals and yet all human beings, aren't we?lfen

What?? Like driving through the Holland tunnel?Jesus is like a wormhole that we dive into and exit this universe to arrive in the heaven that we haven't observed in our universe?lfen

I'm obnoxiously asking a real question. I can't figure out how literally you are making your statements.What do you think it means to look on God's face or back?I'm thinking of the story of Vivekananda asking Ramakrishna to show him reality, and then he was overwelmed by the vastness and pleaded to return to ordinary ego consciousness. I would say that to behold God the ego must die but that isn't a bad thing.I've mostly heard from Trinitarian Christians on this site, and I'm trying to understand your take on Christianity.lfen

Angel,In reading this it sounds to me that you are identifying a person as their body? This of course is how we experience each other in life. Yet I don't think I am identical to my body.I know that people can experience such severe brain trauma that they forget who they are. They have to relearn walking, talking, etc. After they have done this although their body is recognizable to their family they not only don't remember their family but they don't remember who they were and are a different personality, with different tastes, moods, styles of expression etc.I asking you seriously who or what do you think you are?lfen
