John Brand adds:
Hi, Richard. Its good to see your joining in the discussion. I think
that a conceptual connection between atman and Christ can be argued
if Christ is taken to be ho logos and atman is akin to the Greek
Logos. What do you think, Richard?

In any event, Jeffrey is correct in negating the direct linguistic
connection of Christos/Mashiach and Atman. It would be more accurate
to connect Mashiach with Maitreya through the Aramaic meshia.
