The more I read about Jesus and his teaching of Oneness and is proclamation that he is the great “I Am” … God, the Infinite Everything, I am certain that he is simply teaching the Oneness of Advaita Vedanta.
He must have been Hindu.
He was a Great Yogi, teaching the ultimate Yoga.
As he says “ My Yoga is Easy my work is Light “
העול שלי קל ועבודתי קלה
Etymology:
The Sanskrit noun योग yoga is derived from the Sanskrit root yuj (युज्) "to attach, join, harness, yoke".
The word yoga is cognate with English "yoke". According to Burley, the first use of the root of the word "yoga" is in hymn 5.81.1 of the Rig Veda, a dedication to the rising Sun-god in the morning (Savitri), where it has been interpreted as "yoke"

Advaita Vedānta (/ʌðˈvaɪtə vɛˈðɑːntə/; Sanskrit: अद्वैत वेदान्त, IAST: Advaita Vedānta) is a school of Hindu philosophy and "spiritual experience.”
The term Advaita (literally, "non-duality") refers to the idea that Brahman alone, pure consciousness, is ultimately real, while the transient phenomenal world is an illusory appearance (maya) of Brahman, and the true self, atman, which is self-luminous pure awareness, is identical with Brahman. (Infinite Everything)
You yourself are Infinite and Everything.
There is a legend that says he went to India after his crusifiction and rising and is buried there in a remote temple. His teaching was very buddhist too, Hinduism maybe not so much as they worship deities which he would not agree with.
Advaita Vedanta teaches that everything is God.
if
God = everything
and
everything = God
then
everything = everything.
You've said nothing. It's a tautology.
It only feels like something if one still has a god-shaped network in the mind.
One step away from atheism.
Buddhism has many practices in common with its Hindu roots, but this is the point at which it diverges. I can call it the void and hence avoid any mention of some God-thing.
The experience is far more important than the metaphysics.
Indeed, Advaita Vendanta is not so far from Dzogchen. ;-)
It’s not one step from atheism. It is Atheism.
Or Pantheism.
This is precisely why Spinoza is labelled an Atheist and censured.
This is why Jesus is labelled a Heretic and a Sorcerer in the Talmud and Toledot Yeshu.
When Jesus says “I am / God and the Torah says you are All God (Elohim)” … then Everything is God… he is saying “there is nothing else except God”. Ein od Milvado.
Everything is Everything. That’s all that exists. Ommmmmmmmmm
They did not understand him so they killed him.
This is also why Buddhism is often considered atheist - at least from the Catholic POV.
Stretching one belief over another belief still leaves the old belief underneath - largely why I have little time for any of the monotheisms. No need to carry the boat onto shore... unless one thinks it might be needed again.
But it does sound as if you're having an interesting journey!
One book I once sketched out was a history of esoteric teachings in relation to their exoteric orthodoxy. very often, the mystical sects and individuals were driven away from their authoritarian doctrines.
"priests v mystics" is a long battle.
indoctrination v knowledge
Yeah… I study the mystics. Even the Catholic ones… like Meister Eckhart…. They all eventually get to the same place. Everything is Everything …. I have no issues with the word “God” … it’s just a word that means Infinite / everything… I ask a Catholic “Do you believe that God is Infinite ? “ … when they say yes…. Then I say … well then, Everything is God…. I am either called a Heretic or a light bulb goes on.
Yes. This is absolutely true.
This is precisely why Spinoza was labelled an Atheist and censured.
This is why Jesus was labelled a Blasphemer and a Sorcerer.
Lots of legends about Jesus. I know his disciple Thomas… doubting Thomas, also called the Twin, ended up in Kerala India and wrote the Gospel of Thomas that records the earliest teachings of Jesus.
It is also very Pantheistic… Everything is God (non dualist) teaching…

Jesus Christ PBUH , Never said that anyone should worship him but still people worship him.
He was a son of God that's how people quote and and worship him but so was Adam , moses and many other prophets they were also referred as son of god and that means son of god was used to tell that they were all the prophet of god.
Hinduism that is followed today is far away from the real Hinduism. In the Vedas idol worship is prohibited but most of the hindu today practice idol worship.
