24 AD, Persia
After a three-hour intermission, the Father and the host were once again assembled at the Hall of Duf, in the courtyard of the Kingdom of Heaven.
From his lengthy prayer, the Father of all things had received much strength from the Source. He had been able to pray and meditate at a very deep level. It would be from within that he found the answer he had been looking for. The Father was about to receive assistance. And in a rather large way. He smiled at the genius of the Creator, knowing that all wisdom stems from its source.
Once he received the knowledge given to him from the Source of all things, he informed his Archangels of what was to come. And then headed back to the courtyard, to continue his story to the awaiting heavenly host.
The Father began, “My son Jesus learned much from his visit with those that follow Zoroaster. For instance, they protected nature. Worshipping it in all its forms. They protected the four parts of the physical world, water, earth, fire, and air. After all, when one wants to commune with the divine spirits, one only need to look at the beauty of nature. And the Persians knew this.”
“Those from Persia also believed that a cosmic change would occur on the planet, and time will cease from existing. This change would be brought about by a savior figure. A Messiah whom would lead the world into a higher dimension. Little did the Persians know that the forerunner to the Messiah was in their midst. Little did they know that the bloodline of Jesus would bring about the Messiah, otherwise known as the Holy Grail.
“After three years in Persia, at the age of 24, Jesus moved further east to India. It would be here that Jesus would be introduced to the traditions and beliefs of Hinduism, and the Brahmans.”
“It would be here that the term, “the way” would be incorporated into Jesus’ vocabulary. For Hinduism is a way of life, more than it is a religion. The “eternal way,” as the Hindus called it.
“Jesus learned that Hinduism is a mix of various cultures and traditions of India, with no founder or source that began it. It wasn’t like Judaism, or the beliefs of the Arabs, who both shared a common origin. My son found this quite fascinating, and gave him a wonderful idea that he would bring back to Israel, when the time came.
“Many philosophies were discussed during his three year long stay in India. Cosmology, theology, philosophy, mythology, yoga, and temple building, among others. Scriptures studied included the Vedas, the Bhagavad Gita, and the Agamas. Many of the Hindus eternal truths were found within these pages. Yet, the Hindus also believed that they were not an end-all for their religion. That they must always go within to seek more eternal truths.
“Many themes were shared between Jesus and his hosts of India. These were ethics, duties, goals, desires, salvation, and freedom. The Laws of freewill, karma, balance, and reincarnation were also discussed.
“Jesus learned that Hinduism was a mixture of many different belief systems. It seemed to be all inclusive to him.”
“He traveled the entire region of India.” The large viewing screen appeared to show many images and areas of the sub-continent India. It showed the beautiful grasslands, and well as the green, luscious jungle regions. The landscape was magnificent, and the heavenly host warmed to the beautiful images that were being shown to them.
The viewer showed the many different temples of India. Showing its various cultures. But then it showed something very different that was occurring in India at that time, which continues to this present day. It showed a massive underclass. People who were extremely poor, known as the ‘untouchables.” The viewer then froze on the image of this desperate sea of humanity.
The Father studied the image for a moment, and then pressed onward in his story, “During his travels, Jesus ran into this lowest class of Indian society. When he did so, he had compassion on them. He felt their misery, and it ran through his entire being.”
“Therefore, when he returned to the Hindu masters, he brought the subject of their misery to them. He was met by indifference. An attitude which greatly troubled the Son of Man. So much so, that he had to leave his Indian hosts, and head east to the mountains of Tibet. It was time for Jesus to visit the Buddhist monks located at Lhasa, or Rasa as it was called at the time.”
The viewer appeared to show the holy city of Lhasa. A temple complex just as impressive then, as it is now. Shown in the complex were hundreds of Tibetan Buddhist monks. Many of them were in the sitting position, eyes closed, inward in deep meditation.
The Father of all things continued, “It would be at Lhasa that Jesus would master the fine art of meditation, contemplation, detachment, and prayer. He would also learn of the spiritual master known as the Buddha.”
“Jesus would experience Nirvana while at Lhasa. He did briefly on several occasions, which ultimately led to his unification with Christ consciousness.”
“He would learn what it meant to follow the ‘middle way.’ That if he were in a boat, it is far easier to guide it down the river following the middle path of the river. Thus avoiding the pitfalls, and the extremes of the left and right river banks.
“From the Buddhists, Jesus incorporated into his beliefs concepts such as oneness, nothingness, and emptiness. What is seen and unseen, and how to look through the veil of the illusion. He learned of the ascetic life that so many spiritual masters seem to live by. Meditating for days on the suffering of humanity, and how to overcome the obstacles that suffering brings.
“And when I speak of suffering, I’m not talking so much in the literal sense, but more so of the temporary state of the human being. Of its unsatisfactory nature as flesh, instead of the permanent state of the spirit.”
The Father looked into the eyes of his entire heavenly host and said, “You as a spiritual race of beings have never had to leave your wonderful selves. You’ve never had to leave the spirit to become flesh for an extended period. This is what these human beings have had to face. And let me tell you, it is not an easy task that we speak of. And therefore, the Buddha called it suffering. For in comparison, that is exactly what it is. To leave the highest frequency of existence, and enter into the lowest.”
“From the Buddhist monks, Jesus was able to liberate his mind from any expectations whatsoever. This form of detachment would serve him well in the future, especially when he was in frustration at the sad state of affairs of the human race. Later in life, Jesus would become extremely frustrated with his friends and followers because they were not achieving Christ consciousness. It would be during this period that he would rely upon his Buddhist teachings of detachment.”
At the mention of the word ‘frustration,’ the Ancient of Days felt a tinge of guilt at his impatience toward humanity. But he fought off this feeling, and let it pass for the moment. He would tend to that emotion soon. But it wasn’t time yet to face it head on. He therefore continued his presentation, “Jesus studied the life of the Buddha, and incorporated many of his teachings into his own. In a sense, Buddha was a forerunner to my beloved son.”
“After three years in Tibet, it was time for Jesus to return home to the Galilee region. It had been twelve years since he left home at the age of eighteen. He had spent nearly half his life traveling to the east, and visiting with the different masters of those areas.
“He spent three years each with the Arabians, Persians, Indians, and the Tibetans. Sharing spiritual knowledge with each of these four peoples. It would be this mixture of ideas that would help shape the views of Jesus of Nazareth. It would be this wide diversity of beliefs, along with his Jewish roots, that would help change the world on a massive scale. Creating a new religion that over 2.5 billion people of the planet currently follow.”
“Like Abraham before him, Jesus created massive change with enormous, and far reaching consequences.”
The Father once again looked out over his heavenly host. The millions of pairs of eyes glued to his own. The millions of pairs of ears hanging upon the Father’s every word. The attention of the angels was absolute. They were fascinated by this wonderful story, waiting for the next surprise to come along.
The angels of the host had been shocked numerous times by the words of their Creator. They wondered to themselves what lay around the next corner of this tale. They held their breaths and waited in rapt anticipation.
