For me as a Christian, I want to follow the Christ
He is someone who existed, he's a historical character
Someone with whom I have a relationship
So he is like the good friend
Who is going to tell me "Hey listen"
"What you do and say is not that great..."
But if you have a realtionship with him, he is not historical anymore
He transcends history
So he's a at the same time historical and transhistorical
That's the whole idea of the spiritual which is not in time or space
Present everywhere and always
Yes but I choose to follow someone
Who existed historically
He is Christ and God, for me
in Buddhist scripture it is said that inside every person there is the Buddha
so you start to think... if you really believe
all these things then this really is the greatest gift
the greatest... it doesn't matter if you are currently laden with grief
or whether you are very happy
that moment is an appropriate
reflection of the state of affairs of your life at that time
so it becomes a lot like a mirror
reflecting the current state of affairs of you at the time
you could say that it is shapeless, I don't really have a defined shape
