I apologise if the post is not correct..
However will like to point out certain things.
[b]I am not a Buddhist. I do have contact with people from the Western mystical traditions...like Rosicrucians. In fact, I have learn alot from highly enlightened persons from this group.
Prior to this life, I was a European who was involved in Western Mysticism. Before that, I was a Tibetan monk.
I can see great similarities amongst all authentic traditions.
I think it is good not to believe in anything too easily...but maintain a rigorousness in the search for spiritual understanding.

The teachings of Jesus are full of parables and must be understood in terms of the inner dimension. It does not make sense on the mythical level. Only one who is truly awakened will understand those words of Jesus. Anyway Gnosticism is also full of mythical concepts that are parables.
