Well Talmudic rabbis think you have a lower soul than a cow. Soul is spirit, it is the potential goodness in everyone had they followed Christ or in my opinion the Father's teachingsof love.

Most people don't read the new testament but if they did and thought about it all on a spiritual revolutionary perspective they might think differently about Christianity and what Jesus really wanted, which is lacking entirely in all religions. If you were to mix the action of Christ with the self-renouncement (minus the gold shrines of Buddhism and hinduism) of ego in Buddhism, then your following "The Way." Which means to be a disciple to truth in the present moment, always and to never, ever worry.

I don't care what rabbis think, nor about souls or spirits.

A mind may be temperamental and psychology a new science, but that's the better way to approach people who may or may not exude "goodness".

Love is too extreme and drives Christian people into hypocrisy because they just can't.

Zen Buddhism, which is basically existentialism with some Tao (a basic fundamental philosophy) and dogma on top, doesn't demand that you love everyone, even the unlovable. It simply asks for compassion (understanding, sympathy, fairness, justice). To me that's FAAAAR more realistic.

" Which means to be a disciple to truth in the present moment, always and to never, ever worry. "

I do my best, but often wonder if it's enough, and I'm perpetually haunted by regrets.
