Dear RK et al.,

What do you mean by "us", our egos? 
>For, Jesus is the Lord of Space, the firstborn of elements 
>Through Him alone, the Creator can be accessed, 
>who is the abode of Bliss 
 
 
Do you mean Jesus the man or what?  Yogananda makes a distiction between  
Jesus the man, and Christ consciousness, which is a spiritual state of mind,  
the realization that "I and the Father are one" -- the higher Self -- beyond  
duality. 
>>the kingdom of heaven is in the I AM 
 
 
>I AM is beyond all duality 
 
 
Then why this talk about only coming to God thru Jesus, who occupies a  
unique position as the firstborn?  Isn't this multiplying entities  
needlyessly?  There is the ego world of duality, and the Self that is common  
to us all.  Jesus realized that, so he spoke directly from spirit, with the  
voice of the undivided, eternal Self.  Firstborn of God sounds like a  
metaphor for the One becomeing Self-conscious.  I don't understand where  
you're coming from with these concepts of "us" (ego), God (Self), and then  
this "Firstborn", who is Jesus.
