Christianity and Eastern philosophy/spirituality?

I thought "Om" was used as a way of getting to know the God within each of us? Jesus said the kingdom of God is within each of us, did he not? I could be wrong about the definition of "om" though. I guess I probably can't have my cake and eat it too if you know what I mean...hmm...

 

Then again, what if Jesus DID in fact study Eastern spirituality. It's possible the scriptures got altered over the course of the last 2000 years...I have a lot of thinking to do.

 

Om is a sanskrit syllable meaning supreme being. The word amen is a indo european variant of the word aum.

 

I see. Thanks for that and to everyone who replied. I guess I'll experiment and see what feels right for my path. Peace.

 

I'll also add that I dont know how anyone with a genuine interest in spirituality can pick only one path to follow, I'm in way over my head here...they ALL have aspects I agree with. Maybe its because Im still pretty young and want to explore as much as I can, i dont know...I guess Ill find that for which I was destined one day...

 

Find the lowest common denominator.

 

I've read contrary.

 

As far as the relationship between aum and amen? Perhaps you heard that amen means so be it. It is so, supreme being, is-ness.
