I am still/or back with the three temptions LOL After reading in I AM That something that Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj said, I thought it would be worthwhile to create a separate thread from the Jesus teachings thread.

From the Bible we know that Jesus fasted for 40 days and then was tempted three times "by the devil". I think this part of the bible is metaphorical: 1) Who wrote this? 2) If Jesus was alone in the desert, who witnessed it to tell it? 3) If Jesus told it, why was it not capture as a conversation between Jesus and someone?

In I am that I read that Maharaj of himself says:" I am nothing, I have nothing and can do nothing".

Are the temptations :
To believe I am "something" (false Identification), To believe I have "something" (attachment) and to believe I can do "something" (add or subtract to that which IS)?
