This is the kind of thing I mean. "Great souls", "earth plane". Like all words they have connotations, but what do they actually mean? Is God and Jesus more bankrupt intellectually than "great soul"? There's a tendency to assume some terms reflect the nature of reality more than others, but on what authority are those based? Why sink into political correctness over terminology? It just holds up the debate and allows someone to let off steam at the expense of the topic.
You said people assume that some terms reflect the nature of reality more than others. You keep defending and defending Christ, which is fabulous, but doesn't that mean that you are assuming that Christianity reflects the nature of the reality better than other modes of understanding?
Someone who is greatly self-realized who claims to see nature devas or be able to interact with ascended masters is not "psi". It is someone having a mystical experience much like those listed in the Christian bible.
The question is: Is their experience somehow to be considered less reflective of the true nature of reality because it doesn't involve Christ or God?
