How hard would you work to become Jesus

If your talking about the monk-up-a-mountain type of enlightenment involving special teas and lots of meditation you can save yourself a lot of time.

NLP self-hypnosis and magic mushrooms.

Well, just to clarify things yet again, the Jesus part of this is not meant to be taken so literally (I should have known better). This statement was meant to imply a self-realized individual. What makes this situation more complicated is that I cannot with any certainty KNOW if this person is truly "self-realized", enlightened, or merely just a person who has found a technique that happens to work for him and makes him feel pretty good about life.

The amount of time and practice it would (or will) take for me to determine this for myself is daunting. Let's imagine you had to play thousands and thousands of hands of poker before you'd know if you were any good and then you still might not know...oh, i forgot, that's exactly how it is.
