CHAPTER SIX - JESUS CHRIST, "THE MAN"

For a reason I may be sure of, of all the Four Messengers of God I
communicate the most with Jesus Christ. I feel that I can identify with him
more than I can with the others. Perhaps it is because both of us were very
much influenced by our mothers or because we both were so very sensitive. The Christ and I have had many conversations together, and I feel that I really know him, both as a man and as a “savior.”

There is not much written about the childhood of Yeshua, the name he was given at the time of his birth in Bethlehem. He was born in a cave, which at that time had stables for animals. At the time of the Christ’s birth, aliens from many planets were watching the third of God’s Messengers arrive. To all of them Jesus represented “pure love,“ and that is one emotion all aliens lack, and hence even though they may regard man as inferior, there is jealousy because they want to know and experience this emotion called “love.“

Yeshua is Aramaic. Anglicized, it is Jesus. He did have an ordinary childhood, dominated by his mother. Did he know he was immaculately conceived? At an early age in his childhood, Jesus had much knowledge.

He was very different from other children his age. Born of the Jewish faith, he was circumcised and did attend a yeshiva to learn about his faith. He did question much of his teachers, for he felt that some of what he was learning was not true. He never argued with his elders, but retained all the information he learned. His going to yeshiva was ended when he was about the age of 8. His mother, Mary, brought him to the Essenes community, for she knew that the knowledge he would gain there would fulfill his destiny as the Messiah. His cousin, John (later to be known as John the Baptist) was taken by his mother, Elizabeth, who was a cousin of Mary, to study also with the Essenes. The ancestors of the Essenes were from Atlantis, and their powers were handed down. Aliens from Andromeda often made visits to the Essenes.

Jesus had strange thoughts, but he was never sure what they meant. He spend his childhood always questioning and thinking and learning from the Essenes. Although not only were they cousins, but Jesus and John were great friends, but they were of different personalities. John was the outspoken one and Jesus was very quiet. But they did love each other.

Mary did not stay with Jesus, for she had 9 other children to take care of, since Jesus had 6 brothers and 3 sisters. John was an only child. So, John lived with the Essenes too. These two boys studied until they both were almost 13 years old, and then returned home to celebrate their bar mitzvahs, their coming of men. They did return to the Essene community to continue their studies. Jesus was wise enough to understand that the powers he learned he had were given to him by God, but that all men were born with the same powers. It was only cultivating them, which he did while he studied with the Essenes. Many of the “miracles” that Jesus performed in his life were based on what he learned as a student in the Essene community. Jesus saw his future, and he knew that he would be crucified for the sins of the world. His cousin, John, was made aware that he would be the one to “introduce” Jesus to the world.

The Essenes had great powers. They were able to communicate with "angels" and knew what God wanted of all of us. Their mission was to found Christianity, but they did not limit themselves to one religion, for they felt that each religion was a “different stage of a single revelation.”

Many of the questions the Christ had based on the teachings of Judaic rabbis were answered by the Essenes. I know that the Essenes were in contact not only with aliens from our civilizations in different planets of this Universe, but also in contact with people of the future. They were very well aware of the mission for Jesus, and knew him to be a Messenger of God. John learned the art of baptism while studying with Jesus in that community.

It was after Jesus finished his studies with the Essenes that he returned to the temple, and it was there that trouble brewed. The rabbis were unwilling to listen to the Christ. No one before Jesus was ever a threat to their power, and they began to become fearful of him. The rabbis felt that in teaching the laws of Judaism there was no room for interpretation. Arguments arose between them and Jesus. That was the main reason why Jesus left the temple, became a teacher and spread what he knew was the truth. Also, the rabbis not only loved their power but also their wealth. They were unwilling to help the poor, the sick. They passed judgment, and even God does not do that. Jesus knew that what the rabbis were teaching was not what God wanted. The Christ had no choice but to leave. He felt let down by the rabbis, for Jesus was above the emotion of anger. Only once did he become angry and that was at the time he saw the money lenders in from of the synagogue.

What did Jesus look like? He was a slender man, bearded with long, dark reddish hair. The greatest physical feature was the color of his eyes. No one since Jesus has the same color blue that his eyes were. They were, in fact, hypnotic to one looking directly into them. When Jesus watched, through my eyes, films about his life he would laugh. Why? He said “Why do people think I was so handsome?” My response was that they would think that because he was a Messenger from God. He considered himself to be ordinary looking - neither ugly nor handsome.

When he talked, people listened. He had great charisma. Was Jesus selective in talking with people separately. Yes, he was. When he started to talk to someone, he knew whether he should spend more time in conversation. In other words, he knew those who would believe and those who would scoff.

Did he cure the sick? Yes, he did, but only if the sick one believed with all his or heart that he could. Their faith had to be that strong. Did he raise Lazarus from the dead? Yes, he did. Did Jesus weep? Yes, he did, and he is still weeping. He is very disappointed in us, as is God. He cannot understand why a new religion was created because of his existence. He came to Earth to unite us and for us to believe that we all “One with God;” yet we now have another label to add to all the other labels: that of Christian. He knew that each of us is equal in the “sight” of God, so why label us? After the Shift, religion will be a thing of the past. Our religion then will be God.

Jesus, with his uncle, known as Joseph of Aramathea, traveled great distances. They were in India, and even went as far as Great Britain. This was before the appearance of the disciples. Joseph was not protecting Jesus, since he knew that was not necessary. Jesus wanted to travel with his uncle for he wanted to have as many experiences in his life as he could. The Christ, even at a young age, was well aware of the “circle of life.” Even though this was his first physical existence on Earth, being well aware of the teachings of Lord Buddha, all other inhabitants of this planet were a part of the process known as “reincarnation.”

Many speak of the Second Coming. Yes, Jesus Christ will appear again and make his presence known at the time of “The Shift.” In fact, his soul (not spirit, which dwells on “the other side,” lives now in the body of a 12 year-old boy who lives in the United States. I know this boy; the first time I met him I knew there was something very special about him. In all the times I have been with him I have not mentioned anything about the Christ. He is still too young to understand. If Jesus dwells in “the Heavens” how can he also be in the body of this child? It is only right that spirit stays on the “other side” but soul dwells within the human form. The soul of Christ is in this child and the spirit of Christ is on “the other side.”

Why did Judas Escariot report the whereabouts of the Christ so that the Roman soldiers can capture him? Judas was selected by Jesus to fulfill this mission. Jesus loved Judas more than he did any other disciple, and that is the reason he chose Judas. Judas, of course, did not want to do this, but he knew that the Christ had to die to help all of mankind. To believe that Judas was offered 30 pieces of silver to betray the Christ is preposterous. But that explanation was created so that the truth of the relationship between these two men had to be hidden. Why would Judas accept anything to betray the Savior? For people to use the name “Judas” to identify a betrayer is one of the most unfair accusations anyone could do.

Understand that at that time the heads of the Jewish synagogue were very jealous of Jesus, for his following was increasing daily and they feared that their power over the people was dissipating. The head rabbis actually paid people who were in the crowd to yell loudly the name “Barrabas,” so that Barrabas could be saved and Jesus would be crucified.

This writer cannot understand why throughout history every statue of the Christ portrays him wearing a crown of thorns. There was no such crown. A recent visit to a service at a Greek Orthodox Church, I saw one statue of the Christ without a crown of thorns, and I wondered why the difference in the way he is portrayed in a Roman Catholic Church. Was Jesus beaten? Yes, he was beaten by the Roman soldiers, but not the way portrayed in Mel Gibson’s film, “The Passion of Christ.” No human could survive the beating we saw in that film, and Jesus was a man. I asked the Christ whether he was in pain when nailed to the cross. He answered “My father took the physical pain away. The only pain I felt was seeing my mother at the foot of the cross watching her son die.” The most awful of all for a mother is to experience the death of her child. And what was the reason for his death? Jesus had a blood disorder in which his blood did not coagulate. He actually bled to death. After his death, a Roman soldier pierced Jesus in his side to make sure Jesus was dead. The mother of Jesus saw her son standing next to him after his death. This was his spirit. Joseph of Aramathea claimed the body.

Who actually was Mary Magdalene and what role did she play in the life of Jesus Christ. Yes, Mary was intimate with many men, and yes Jesus did save her life from being stoned to death. But Mary really was not a prostitute by definition. She was a very lonely woman, and each time a man said “I love you,” she was taken advantage of sexually and allowed it, hoping that a man would marry her. Unfortunately, Mary grew to love Jesus as a man, and though at first she tried to lure him into being intimate with her, Jesus resisted all advances. Jesus was never intimate with any person - whether it be man or woman. But, being a man, Jesus did have physical attraction to people - particularly men. And of all the disciples, Jesus loved Judas the most and chose Judas to “betray” him. He knew that to lay in bed with anyone would be a “sin” in the “eyes” of his Master, so he never did anything about his desires.

Jesus knew that the path he was to follow he had to follow alone. What then about his disciples? The Christ never considered them to be his friends for when they looked at him they saw only a “savior” and not a man. Sure, he was their teacher, and they did learn from him, but there was only one who yearned to know him as a man, as a friend, not just a savior or a teacher. The one who saw Jesus in a different light was Judas Iscariot.

When Jesus arrived at the location where he was to be crucified, he was not placed in the center of the other two men who were nailed to a cross. His cross did not bear a sign which said “IN RE” (King of the Jews). He was not to be treated differently from any other man who was crucified. The head rabbis of the synagogues would never have allowed Pontius Pilate to differentiate the Christ from others, since they treated him as just a man and not as a “savior” of mankind. We tend to forget that Jesus was a man, a Jewish man, and most people regard him as a savior and not as a man. Jesus never professed to be God. He knew that he was a Messenger, and he also knew that he shared this “title” with Lord Buddha and Moses. Muhammad was born after Christ has died, and God came to Earth as a man after all four of his Messengers tried the best they could to change the thinking of people to believe that each of us has powers given at birth. It is to cultivate those powers which most people cannot do.

Jesus treated every man, woman and child the same, for he knew that God wanted it that way. There was no distinction between anyone; mankind created the differences between each of us. This was not the work of either the Christ or God.

Joseph of Aramathea played a very important role, not only while Jesus was in human form, but more importantly after the Resurrection of the Christ. It was the crypt that Joseph had intended to use for his own body when he passed on that he used to house the body of Jesus. The time after Jesus died in human form that there was much trouble for those who were very close to him, like his mother and his disciples. It is important to note that Joseph was probably the richest man in Jerusalem and was the uncle to Jesus’s mother. He owned several houses, one in Jerusalem, one outside the city and another in Aramathea, which is between Jerusalem and Nazareth. He became the legal guardian of Jesus’s family after the death of Joseph, the “father” of the Christ.

The main source of the wealth of Joseph of Aramathea was tin, which he got in Britain, and often Jesus would travel with his uncle to Britain. Sometimes, the “Virgin Mary” would also accompany them. Her voyages took place when Jesus was quite young. Jesus’s mind was like a sponge, taking in everything he saw and learned, and he did study in Britain.
Joseph of Aramathea did his best to care for and protect the disciples. Because the disciples were becoming well-known and famous, the Romans devised a way to get rid of all those who they felt would cause much trouble to the Roman Empire. They set them adrift in a boat without any means to steer. Those on the boat included Joseph and his entire family, both Marys (the mother of Jesus and Mary Magdalene), the disciples and others. Naturally, God was protecting them all the time the boat was asea, and they landed on the French coast.

It was in France that Lazarus, Mary Magdalene and some others settled. In fact, the first church in France was built at that time. All the others who were on the boat continued to Britain. It was in Glastonbury that Joseph created the first Christian church. At first, it was not called “Christian” for at the time the religion was called “The Way.” It was a few hundred years after Christ that the word “Christianity” was introduced. This was done to honor the Savior.

The disciples of Jesus did travel throughout Britain, France and even Spain, preaching the teachings of Jesus. But, only 60% of what they taught was from the Savior. Each added 40% from their own thoughts. So, every disciple taught something a bit different. The most important teachings did come from Jesus Christ. Joseph of Aramathea, Jesus’s mother and all the disciples died in Britain and were buried there.

One of the many teachings of Jesus was that each of us is born with the same powers - powers that he has shown. It is just working on bringing them out. Every so often the Christ will meet one who has brought out some of his or her powers. In this situation, that person had the ability to see auras of colors around people. In the case of the Christ, these “gifted” people had the ability to see Jesus engulfed in a bright, white light. It surrounded his entire being. For those fortunate enough to see that white light they knew how elevated to God Jesus was. And when they were engulfed in that light it as as if their souls left their bodies. That experience would change these people forever.

The Christ is the “most popular man” who ever existed. So many books were written about him. So many films were made about his life. There is much controversy regarding this famous man. Supposedly, his ossuary was discovered, along with one for Mary Magdalene and their son, Joshua. Why can’t people just accept Jesus as not only a Messenger of God but also a man of purity, kindness and dedicated to help everyone who sought help from him? Yes, I am Buddhist but I accept Jesus as a man who gave his life for us, and he knows that I love him with all my heart.
