David, it would certainly be interesting to me to find out a little more about the Jesus/Jeshua you first saw in Toronto. But regarding a discussion, or rather a book review on Jesus' autobiography, would not be considered appropriate here, since it involves the channeling of spirits.
It is rather an interesting statement that you made, this one. ""
I MUST distinguish between the Jesus you accredit, based upon normal sources, and mine, who is active, free and busy trying to re-present his teaching, his original teaching, his current teachings - because they are worlds apart, one being actual and one a myth of variant descriptions and priorities. But, since his own major book, ACIMiracles does not impress you, I will retire from trying to introduce to you "my" current" Jesus/Jeshua." The interest I would have is mainly in what I have made
bold in your statement above.
And to just get an idea of what you consider
actual and what is
myth, I suppose the following parable, which comes from the normal sources, the Gospel of Matthew, you would consider as being a
myth, and something that your active Jesus would be attempting to re-present? And how would an active Jesus re-present it? Editing the parable to re-present the implied meaning perhaps? Or, perhaps Jesus would just cross it out entirely?
There was a landowner who planted a vineyard. He put a wall around it, dug a winepress in it and built a watchtower. Then he rented the vineyard to some farmers and moved to another place. When the harvest time approached, he sent his servants to the tenants to collect his fruit. But when the tenants saw the son, they said to each other, ‘This is the heir. Come, let’s kill him and take his inheritance.’ So they took him and threw him out of the vineyard and killed him.“The tenants seized his servants; they beat one, killed another, and stoned a third. Then he sent other servants to them, more than the first time, and the tenants treated them the same way. Last of all, he sent his son to them. ‘They will respect my son,’ he said. Therefore, when the owner of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those tenants?” “He will bring those wretches to a wretched end,” they replied, “and he will rent the vineyard to other tenants, who will give him his share of the crop at harvest time.”
But perhaps this parable, as well as all the other parables mentioned in the traditional 4 New Testament Gospels, are re-presented in Jesus' autobiography written by Ms. Spalding, since I have not read the autobiography in full?
But then again, we have the Gnostic Gospels found in Egypt in 1945, were these the works of Jesus' earlier attempt to re-present His teachings?
I do recall, if I'm not mistaken, and I may be, that Dr. Stevenson, an expert in the field of reincarnation associated with children's memories of previous lives, frowned on psychic channeling and kept it entirely out from his scientific research and published studies. I also tend to discount nearly all psychics who claim to be channeling other worldly spirits, especially if claiming to be channeling Jesus. Most likely all those spirits have actually reincarnated already, and are perhaps you and I, or some other person living among us. Jesus is entirely another story, if anyone claims that He too is said to have reincarnated several times, and we need to discuss Edgar Cayce on that. And I'm 99% certain that, if Jesus wanted to set the record straight about Himself, He would not have waited so long, as to only be getting it straight in recent times. It would be logical that JC would have channeled directly with Matthew, Luke, Mark, and John, demanding they edit their Gospels to reflect some of what Ms. Spalding is getting through the grapevine only now? JC would not have let things get out of hand for so long. And it would have been better, as Judah Iscariot sings to us, if Jesus had come today, since Israel had no mass communication back then.
Don't get me wrong, as I too only want to know the truth!
Peace and love is always closer to truth.
