Temptation?

Chachynga: "There is only one way to the Father God - Christ. You know the drill.

That's the bottom line. All else fails. You can hate me for my views, but the bible clearly says."

What exactlly is the drill sir? and no I can't hate you.

I too have spent much thought on the temptations Jesus went through and here are my thoughts:

I think that first that the temptations were thoughts that Jesus had after realizing his true Self. The first temptation is to believe that we could add something to that which God has already created. The second temptation is to believe that there is a power outside of God. And the third temptation is to believe that something other than God could fulfill the emptiness we feel inside.

Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj says I am nothing, I have nothing and I can do nothing....now that's being humbled : )

Inward or outward temptation?

They're the same.

Temptation is temptation. As simple as that. Keep it simple.

Spiritual ego is the last thing to fall, and it's the high souls--high but quite Realized--who really have to beware of this, as they are the ones with the high attainment.
