Re: Jesus as a bodhisattva/role model without the divinity
It is perhaps unfortunate that the many myths about Jesus tend to obscure his message. If everyone practiced "Do unto others as you would have it done unto you" (which wasn't even original with him, anyway, although it is probably the most important thing he said, the world would be healed over night.
For readings, I strongly suggest "The Perennial Philosophy" by Aldous Huxley. More recent stuff would include "Power, Freedom, and Grace" by Deepak Chopra, and "This Season's People" by Stephen Gaskin.
