“The difference between Christ and the other prophets is threefold”

Constantin Brunner (1862–1937) German philosopher

Source: Our Christ : The Revolt of the Mystical Genius (1921), pp. 165-166 <br class="br">Context: The difference between Christ and the other prophets is threefold:<br>1. Unlike the other prophets, he has no connection with politics and is not a people&#x27;s tribune. In the Gospels, we find temporal circumstances only as background, Christ having no relationship to them at all. He kept his thoughts unmuddled by the world — &quot;Get thee behind me, Satan!&quot; — he was and remained truly free of the world.<br>2. He preaches no religious superficialities whatsoever, nothing at all of worship, nothing of God; he is truly godless.<br>3. Neither for earth nor heaven does he preach any coming kingdom. &quot;But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you&quot; ( Mt. 6:33 http://bible.cc/matthew/6-33.htm). The kingdom, however, is nothing that is to come; it is here, it is within you ( Lk. 17:21 http://bible.cc/luke/17-21.htm). It is the Spirit of innerness as it is alive in him, the truly blessed man; it is the essence, ever being and never changing. It is also the essence of this our life, not merely an appendix granted it by some other essence, for which we would have to fulfill certain conditions.

“The difference between an author and a writer is similar to that of the prophet and the messenger. Simply, because every messenger is not a prophet, but every prophet has a message and prophecies to convey to the people.”

“There are seven types of entities in the human body. These are connected to different celestial spheres. They are connected to different heavens and are further connected with different functions within the human body. If these entities are strengthened with light they then resemble the person they are in and travel to many places at the same time. They can travel to the gatherings of Saints and Prophets and even talk to God and see God.”

Riaz Ahmed Gohar Shahi (1941–2001) Pakistani Sufi spiritual leader, poet, author

“The Avatar is always one and the same, because God is always One and the Same, the Eternal, Indivisible, Infinite One, who manifests Himself in the form of man as the Avatar, as the Messiah, as the Prophet, as the Ancient One — the Highest of the High. This Eternally One and the Same Avatar repeats His manifestation from time to time, in different cycles, adopting different human forms and different names, in different places, to reveal Truth in different garbs and different languages, in order to raise humanity from the pit of ignorance and help free it from the bondage of delusions.”
