Dennis Rogers shares his Christian message with me. And I want to share it with all of you.

• I saw a show called Stan Lee's superhumans. In the show, there was a man named Dennis Rogers who was so strong that he could bend wrenches and do various other feats of strength. I had read in a book by Maitreya that super strength is a sign of a buddha that arises from having connected others with Samadhi. Since my other yoga teachers wouldn't teach me samadhi, I wanted to ask Dennis Rogers directly to teach me samadhi, because his strength made me believe that he connects others with samadhi.  My correspondence with him so far has included two messages back from him. I wanted to share what he wrote with me with you and what I wrote so that you know the context of what he wrote.  So below is my conversation with him.  I feel amazed and blessed to have heard back from famous people, like Noam Chomsky, and now Dennis Rogers.

  I read in Buddha Nature by Maitreya, that the buddha has super strength. In Buddha nature it said, from having established others in the practice of samadhi, he has the strength of Narayana. I want to learn Samadhi. I think since you have superhuman strength, you must have established others in Samadhi. Will you Please PLEASE PLEASE teach me how to attain samadhi!

  Hi Liam, I am a Christian and I was truly born with the gift of strength. Much like a singer who could already sing well or an artist who naturally could draw, I had a significant level of natural strength from the get go.
  Concerning my strength: others can achieve it as well. I am currently working on revitalizing some old programs as well as creating new courses to teach what I do. Keep an eye out on my website next month.
  God Bless,
  Dennis

  I am not interested in being as strong as you (unless it doesn't take away from my sensitivity). I am interested in attaining samadhi, attaining union with God. I saw your strength as a sign that you connected people with samadhi. I believe there is spiritual truth and there is spiritual truth in all religion. I think Jesus Christ was someone who mastered many samadhis. So, what you said doesn't contradict that you might be someone who connects people with samadhi. From my understanding samadhi is perfect concentration. One can attain samadhi on love, on compassion, on equanimity on Jesus's heart, on buddha. There are samadhis in sutras with funny names, maybe like the samadhi of the appearances of the profound. I forget. I don't have money for courses or money to travel to your courses. I am not your neighbor in terms of living next door to you, so I don't know if you love me. I know Jesus commanded us to love our neighbor. But, your strength from even a Christian perspective seems like a miracle. My prayer if you can love me, is that I am protected from hell. I am afraid of going to hell. I invite your spiritual strength to protect me (as opposed to muscular strength) from hell. I have not been able to talk to Jesus yet. He won't talk to me. I haven't been assured by anyone that I'm never going to hell. So, I pray that if you are willing you make sure that I am protected from hell. I try to do what is right and good. I try to not harm anyone. I try to be kind to everyone. I have felt blessings from Christianity and Buddhism both. I read in a book, Dharma Bums by Jack Kareouac, that Jesus Christ was Maitreya, a disciple of Buddha and a bodhisattva. So maybe Buddhism and Christianity are ultimately congruent and noncontradictory. I am so grateful I found out about you watching Stan Lee's Superhumans, because miracles like your strength give me faith.

  Hi Liam-
  First let me say that I have not needed to practice any super-concentration methods. I can naturally focus on what I need to focus on. Focus increases as you practice anything. As you practice, you will increase focus.
  Secondly, I do love you. Christ teaches us to love everyone. And because I love you I will tell you how to know without a shadow of a doubt that you will go to Heaven, not hell. There is only one way. The way the bible says. Give you heart to Jesus Christ ALONE (no other gods), believe in Him and you will have everlasting life with Him in heaven.
  Jesus is not just a teacher, He is the Son of God and equally God with His Father. But you have to believe. And I do believe He is talking to you. I believe His Holy Spirit lead you to contact me.
  Just get on you knees and pray this prayer, and believe it with all your heart and I promise, you will go to Heaven:
  Dear Lord Jesus, I understand that you died on the cross for the sins of the world, for my sins, so I ask you now to forgive me, and I thank you for what you did for me. And I promise you Lord that from this day forward I will seek guidance from only you, the True God, and that I will not seek guidance from other gods so that I am not mislead. Thanking Lord for saving me from the pits of hell and allowing me to be part of your family in Heaven.
  Liam, The bible says that if you pray and ask for forgiveness of your sins and make Jesus Lord of your life, you are saved. So if you prayed that prayer and meant it with all your heart and soul you are saved!
  Next you need to get a bible and study God's truth. Don't mix his truths with the confusion of others. Only study God's true word- the Bible. If you do this and pray to him daily, I promise that God will guide you and direct you thru his Holy Spirit. Also, look for a Christian church where you live, so that you will have fellowship with other Christians who know His Truth.
  Remember, I am telling you this because I do love you and I want to see all people go to Heaven.
  God Bless,
  Dennis

  Thank you! I am reading this at the library, I got on my knees at the library and prayed it in front of the computer, whispering, but saying it out loud inside myself. Honestly!: It will be difficult to not follow any other teachers. I have not met any other Gods. What I like about Buddhism and Hinduism for example is they teach us to not harm any animals. Christians hurt animals like the pigs, cows, and chickens that they eat. Jesus, I have read, wanted his students to be vegetarian but in the bible when he drives out demons pigs run off a cliff and drown and die and he eats fish. But I did not do any better than him this life in terms of not eating meat. I feel a holy spirit more when I read books other than the bible. I felt a holy spirit reading the mahabharata, the Bhagavad Gita, The Upanishads, and even philosophers like Kant, and Sartre. I felt a holy spirit reading a book called, The Fourfold Path to Healing. Maybe it is the same Holy Spirit of Jesus, in which case he rewards me for reading books other than the bible. I like your prayer, and I have to modify it for myself that, I will try to not follow any Gods that contradict and interfere with the teachings of Jesus. But sometimes other philosophers and other religions seem complementary to me. So the part about not seeking guidance from other gods... I cannot promise that. Sometimes I think God is one, and the other religions are talking about the same God.
  I thank you so much!! It is true we can only have one master, because if we had two and they disagreed, we would have to break up with one of them. I want to follow the best path that leads to heaven. I want to love everyone, and love the people around me as I love myself. I will try to pray your prayer on my knees every day for many days, except say 'I will try to not follow any other gods' rather than promise it. Because I cannot promise it right now.
