The real issue was monotheism?

There is ample evidence indicating a General Doctrine of Reimbodiment existed. In examining this issue it is found that Philo Judaeus and Flavius Josephus as well as Jesus believed in a form of reimbodiment. There is existing a comprehensive Doctrine of Reimbodiment. This is what got discarded. Yet, I have always seen mention made of the desire to instill monotheistic teachings.

If we trace Neo-Platonic, Neo-Pythagorean teachings which the Gnostic sects pretty much followed, it would lead us to the Indus River Valley. Buddhistic and Brahmanic teachings are innocent of causing distortion of this doctrine in relation to most others. I'm not condemning other teachings in giving high praise to those two mentioned above, I'm only being brief for the most part, as others have not really done so bad, and I prefer not to make a long list of others worthy of praise.

As angels actually went through their time of necessity at living lives as humans, this means they are actually intermediate gods between humanity and the BOUNDLESS. They were not some creation that has never known incarnations as humans, but as they are now above humanity in that they are gods, they have been worshipped to the exclusion of the pinnacle of PERFECTION. So, stating that monotheism was the goal, a misleading and inaccurate declaration is made when the Jewish aim was stated to be establishment of monotheism.

The loss of this comprehensive Doctrine of Reimbodiment and collateral teachings has had an immense impact on humanity that most people have no inkling.

I would like to simply go on with this subject to give as full and complete a picture that I can give with my limitations, but I am only a student and I always feel constrained to go on at length, as I never like to be a burden.

Yes, your exactly correct about the value and obscuration of this important topic. When people get away from group-think and sense the basics of life, they would live differently
