 All spiritual figureheads preach the same message

Jesus, Buddha, etc.
What's the difference how you receive it? It's all the same thing. Same song played with a different instrument.

Jesus= afterlife
Buddha= nothingness
mohammed= jesus was a prophet!
Jesus= no, I'm god.
Hilarity ensues.

Wal Mart has a sale on aluminum foil, 50% off if you buy 10 cases, maybe that's a scam and the foil is impregnated with MKULTRA chemicals though, OMG NOOOO!

Here is something I have been thinking about lately
From American Heritage Dictionary
Quote:
Essence:
1. The intrinsic or indispensable properties that serve to characterize or identify something. 2. The most important ingredient; the crucial element. 3. The inherent, unchanging nature of a thing or class of things. 4a. An extract that has the fundamental properties of a substance in concentrated form. b. Such an extract in a solution of alcohol. c. A perfume or scent. 5. One that has or shows an abundance of a quality as if highly concentrated: a neighbor who is the essence of hospitality. 6. Something that exists, especially a spiritual or incorporeal entity.
Quote:
Substance: 1a. That which has mass and occupies space; matter. b. A material of a particular kind or constitution. 2a. Essential nature; essence. b. Gist; heart. 3. That which is solid and practical in character, quality, or importance: a plan without substance. 4. Density; body: Air has little substance. 5. Material possessions; goods; wealth: a person of substance.
Eastern - Essential, yet insubstantial reality - (Tao)
Western - Substantial, and subsequently essential reality - (God)
