The Upanishads

It struck me that the 5th sentance referes to the Lord. I believe that this comes from the translator. If this book was written between 8000-5000 BCE then did the original writer call this higher power Lord?
This piece of The Upanishads brings to mind the Hymn that we sing in church about "Eye has not seen, Ear has not heard...". The similarities of baseline teachings is amazing. I wonder if the writers of the Bible (Christian) studied all of the religions they could and found a way to merge those ideas into one new text. Of course the names have changed and the stories are different but they all have the same feeling. This reading teaches me to trust in my inner moral code, "Don't be a slave to the senses." How does this feel? Does it feel good and pure? I am trying to teach this to my children and the concept of it is just not getting to them yet.
I believe that there is a group of papers written by Jesus. I believe that these writings say the exact idea as the last paragraph of this reading. God is within you and when that is truley realized one can be free.
My friend Desi always tells me to let go of my carnality and live in the spirit. She is so wise. I wonder what it would be like for all of humanity to live a greater portion of their life in the spirit. Would we have a better outcome or would we be like the Lemurians before they were stuck to the earth. These spirit beings were selfish because they didn't need any other for anything. What an interesting problem.
