Next, the Christian asked the Sage...
Is it possible I might accept the Formless and cease worshipping Jesus altogether? I don't want to lose him.
If you can find him, good; if you can't find him, good. Either way, you can't lose him.

where is Jesus where not
in the Gospel of Thomas... lift the rock, I'm there
is this only Jesus is not Christ more
that Christ is more does not mean Jesus is less
where more and less are in the Harmony
One does not make two less than One
two is two too
the rock is a rock and not less
meaning the rock is a buddha not less
look deeply enough into the Heart of Jesus and you see lovers everywhere
look deeply enough into the Smile of the Buddha you see a world of buddhas
holding up the Mirror what seen this-and-that and Everything-Wow!
