There is a school of thought, that Buddha, Jesus and others are a manifestation of the same energy, but uniquely suited to the time of incarnation. The same energy, guiding the collective along a path towards a goal, over millennia.

Reincarnation implies a persistence of identity & also a seperation. One would wonders if Jesus or Buddha considered themselves in such a limited way. Would they not just be eminations of that same energy? The breath of Sophia, a spark of the divine? Perhaps they were special or maybe they were just created differently in the physical. Maybe they were here to give us a nudge, which is why they remembered more of who they are? This implies that the experience of remembering itself amongst such a vast plane of illusion has value.

Jesus and Buddha likely ate animal fat for brain function and vitality.

Because of their focus on the here and now I've found stoicism and Zen far more useful than Christianity.
