The Composite Figure Known As Jesus Christ
First of all, you have to realize that Jesus was a composite of different individuals and the name was chosen several hundred years later at the Council of Nicea, when king Constantine ordered the various religious sects to come together and create a single religion for Rome; a Universal religion that incorporated all of the aspects of the various religions, so that all could accept and subscribe to it. It was then that the name Jesus Christ was chosen. Earlier there were various types of Messianic leaders or persons whose stories were later put into that composite. There was Apollonius of Tyana around whom most of the events attributed to Jesus were experienced.
Apollonius of Tyana is the central figure of a certain religious order that was prevalent at that time in Rome. His life was incorporated into the Holy Roman religion or Catholic version of the Christian epic which became the official Roman religion in approximately 325 AD. As this energy of Apollonius was incorporated, there were also energies of several other spiritual leaders of Roman religious sects whose stories were also brought in as were those spiritual personalities or deities from other Roman religious orders whose histories or religious myths came from other cultures. Krishna for example, of India, was one of the religious cults and groups in Rome, and his story was merged with that of Apollonius of Tyana. The story of Krishna as one who was born of a virgin and who attempted to save people from error and sin, but who was hanged for his efforts. This was incorporated in the story of Jesus and the Apollonius story was also part of this story, and there were also those whose religion was that of sun worshipping, with the sun and the 12 houses or signs, and these sun worshippers had their story or religion incorporated as the part of the story of Jesus in which the sun god had 12 disciples and these 12 disciples of course reflected the 12 signs of the sun worshipers in Rome. This was of course an astrological religion. The combination of the many different Roman religious orders or organizations, the different religious sects, formed a composite in which the central heroic character was the Son of God, having 12 disciples, being born from a virgin, whose intent and purpose was to help save mankind, and for his efforts, he was slain and put upon a cross. He also had certain miraculous powers, including that of healing by touch, or raising from the dead or moving into states of suspended animation, such as some of the masters of India have demonstrated in various times throughout history.
The Catholic Church Tried to Destroy Jesus and His Family
Thus, one aspect of this composite known as Jesus moved east into India, and into Kashmir, and was recorded as having been known as Jesus, and lived there to a ripe old age. Another aspect of this composite moved westward along with the Holy Family, and bore a child through Mary Magdalene. This was known as the Holy Family, which the Catholic Church made every effort to eradicate and destroy and remove any trace of the information surrounding this, but which the Templars made every effort to preserve and to promote and carry on that Holy Bloodline, even to the point of some several hundred years later, taking the Holy Family, the descendants of the Holy Family into the New World, through Newfoundland and into what was later to be called the United States. The individual that contributed to the composite known as Jesus went westward, while another entity who contributed to the composite known as Jesus went eastward. There were of course, still others. Any attempt to discuss the story of Jesus in a traditional way opens a Pandora's box of discrepancies when you approach or seek the truth of the matter, because the Jesus of the Bible, being a composite of several different individuals, is not the true story. It was a creation of a myth for the people of Rome to center on, much as is now being created by the efforts of the New World Order to establish a new religious order, a One World religion that all people can use as a kind of compromise, whereby in time, the individual known as Christ in the Christian mythology, and the individual known as Mohammed and the individuals of Eastern religions, from Buddha, to Confucius, to the various religious leaders of different religions of the world will all be partially represented in a new composite. Whether this will be the culmination of a being known as the Antichrist for some, or the New Messiah for others, is still to be determined, but it is much like that action of trying to bring all religions together. What occurred in Rome was a political effort by Constantine to gather the energies of conflicting religious groups and to bring them together to stop the warring and fighting between these groups that was tearing Rome apart. It was an expediency necessary at the time, much as what might occur through an effort by the UN in Bosnia and Yugoslavia and Croatia between these fighting groups to cause them to come together in some kind of compromise that does not leave any of their positions pure, but takes a little from each and puts it into a composite that they can live with, wherein they can see their culture preserved in a kind of distorted view, but at least it is there. Constantine informed those religious leaders of the various warring sects in Rome that if they did not come together and join in some kind of compromise religion, their religion would not be recognized or legal in Rome, thus, most of those came and put their best effort into giving their particular religious dogma and values and their deity into the composite that was formed which became the Holy Roman Catholic religion, Catholic meaning "universal." No one was completely satisfied, but each had contributed part of their religion and they could feel secure that their religion would be preserved, buried in the Christian religion. The name Jesus was chosen as the name of the hero, or centerpiece of the religion because it meant "Neither He nor She. It was a neutral word.
There were those who had proposed the name Zeus, but many objected because Zeus was a Greek god and the Romans wanted nothing to do with Greek gods. Therefore, they sought to find a Roman name, or a name that was neutral, which Rome could use as its own god, and the name that came eventually to the forefront was the name Jesus, or Hesus (pronounced heysoos) and it was a Hebrew term that meant "Neither He nor She." It was neutral. The further name of Christ was originally Christos. Hesus Christos and Christos meant the Clear One, or enlightened one. It was a title such as "George the Enlightened One, or Jesus the Enlightened One." The Christed entity had been traditionally recognized long before this time. The Greeks had a character whose name was Krestus, and Krestus or Krest meant the height or the top. There were various other types of Christs. There were Many "Christs" prior to Jesus. There was a black Christ or Christed One in certain cultures and other cultures had their version of the Christed One. In India it was known as Krishna. Krishna is the Indian version of a Christed being or christened being. There were many different Christs prior to Jesus. The term was used even as far back as Atlantis, and therefore, when they sought for a further defining term to call their new composite in the new religion of Rome, the concept of Hesus Christos, Jesus the Christ was the result and most people could accept that because they had no hostility toward either term. It was not so much that they all favored it, as their favorite name, but that they had nothing against it, and they settled on using that name. When speaking of this composite religion that was created in Rome through the efforts of Constantine's directives and the leaders of the various religious sects, we must recognize that if they are speaking historically, it is not the same as when they speak of the myth of Christianity.
The value of the myth is absolutely totally real, and its effect on people is absolutely totally real, but the historic aspects have been distorted so that when people speak of shroud that covered Jesus, even if it were genuine shroud, it might actually have been a shroud that covered someone else; Hesus of Nazareth perhaps, or some other individual who died upon a cross in the company of thousands of others who died upon the cross during that time. There was of course an individual whose name was Hesus and this individual came from Nazareth, lived in the area of Nazareth, and therefore, there was an individual called Jesus of Nazareth who was one of the various individuals in the composite; but much of the information attributed to the composite was information relating to other individuals: Apollonius of Tyana for one, Krishna for another, and the Sun God of the Roman sun worshipers, Hellos as another. This is extremely confusing to many people.
The story of the water in the well and washing the feet, and healing the blind man can be found in earlier religious writings from other sources, other cultures previous to the Christian story. These are documented in earlier cultural writings from other areas of the world, and were included in the Christian story as part of the total composite of a mythical creation that could serve as a religion for the Roman people.
The importance of a religion for a people is that it binds them together and gives them a value, a set of values by which they can agree and follow, in order to have a common set of morals and beliefs, and this creates a civilization that is more cohesive than one which has conflicting beliefs and conflicting values as you might see today in the United States, for wherein there are many different religions that are at odds with each other, there will also be values that are clashing and these clashings of values and beliefs and morals will lead to violence and conflict within a society, and the people of Rome, the leaders of Rome understood this much better than the leaders today; or perhaps the leaders today understand it and want to have the conflict so that they can churn up the people to a point to where they will ask for the leaders to do something to bring about peace, even if it means giving up their religions or compromising their beliefs and morals in order to find something that will be able to harmonize society.
Myths are not simply false stories for entertainment or for programming people haphazardly or to make fools of them. Myths are programming forces that bind a group of people together in a more cohesive and harmonious flux so that they get along because of common beliefs and bonds, the bonds that tie them together in a belief system, in a value system or in an official program with rules and laws that people can point to and say: "You are in violation of these morals, of these rules, of these laws. Get in line if you are going to exist in our society.
And in so doing, there is greater control over the masses. The masses either comply willingly, or they comply because the majority forces their compliance, or there has to be a body of rules and laws, and before there can be a body of rules and laws, there has to be some kind of reason behind those rules and laws, and a common mythology or common belief system is the way that has been chosen by cultures of the past to make people comply and to give reason for creation of laws. Constantine, recognizing Rome was being torn apart by religious wars and conflicts, saw it necessary to create a myth made up of all the composites of the various warring factions. It does not mean that these factions who were fighting each other had mythical characters. These characters were real, in some cases, but the realness of a character when put into a composite along with other characters actually created a mythical character, one whose realness stemmed from actual beings, perhaps, at least in part, but in total was something else.
Many of the stories of Krishna, for example, were incorporated in the Christian story. This race not being of what would be termed the lighter skin, but being rather of the brown skin of Indian origin. To think of Jesus as a light-skinned blond is totally erroneous. Even the composite was not thought of in this manner, and the Romans did not have blond hair as a general rule, and therefore, they did not think of their composite as a blond. It is only the influence of the Nordics who think of Jesus as being a blond, fair-haired being, and this has only occurred in recent years. Of course it is natural for people to think of their God as being somewhat akin to their own features. If the Orientals embraced Christianity, you would notice artists drawing their version of Christ with quite likely a kind of change in facial features, having darker hair of course, black hair, somewhat slanted eyes and cheekbones that match more closely that of the culture of the artist. If the person is Oriental, the Jesus would look more Oriental. If this were to be drawn in Europe, in the Northern part of Europe, the Jesus would be more likely to have blue eyes and blond hair. If drawn in a Latin country it could be more close to the probable looks recognized by the Roman skin, they would see Jesus as dark-haired since those people have dark hair and are relatively light skinned. lf drawn by people in Africa or India, the features would match more closely those of these respective countries.
There is a book you should study if you are further interested in this. It is titled The World's 16 Crucified Saviors Before Christ. It tells of the various parallels to the Christian story from earlier writings of other cultures, wherein the hero of those earlier cultures and writings experienced or acted out the same kind of activities as did the later Jesus Christ in the Christian religion, these down to details, such as the washing of the feet, healing the blind, and raising of the dead, and similar teachings to that of Jesus and also the Virgin Birth and being hanged or otherwise killed for his effort.
The Krishna parallel is the one which contains the most similar experiences, but there are also a number of others, a total of 16 saviors in all, whose lives paralleled Jesus, even in some of the exact situations.
How Jesus Survived the Crucifixion
It appears that Heysoos of Nazareth had a following and was the one who was crucified on the cross, that the individual Heysoos of Nazareth in his sojourns had learned much from studying with Indian teachers. This person had learned, for example, the art of moving into suspended animation and when this individual was crucified, he gave the appearance of being dead, by moving into a state of suspended animation. Once it was assumed that he was dead, he was removed and placed into the tomb, and later resurrected. This is the one who went with Mary Magdelene in the direction of France and England. The one from Tyana went eastward toward India and many of his experiences later were attributed to, were associated with and were reflections of the story of Christ, and therefore it was presumed that he was the Christ. In understanding that these individuals were each contributors to the story of Jesus the Christ, one can see how there could be many different forms of evidence of the Christ story continuing in different directions. It would also be possible for interested parties to trace Krishna through certain forms of evidence, to suggest that Krishna had moved into the time known as the Christian era, and had reincarnated and was indeed the entity Jesus the Christ. The argument would be as such: There is a great similarity between Krishna and Christ, therefore, because of these and these and these events, it would imply that Krishna reincarnated and carried on his work in the Holy Land during the time of early Rome. This would appear to be some kind of evidence that some people would accept and further the belief that Krishna was an earlier incarnation of Jesus the Christ, that is, unless it was understood that the story of Jesus is a composite which included information that came from the story of Krishna, information that came from the story of Jesus of Nazareth, information that came from the life of Apollonius of Tyana and other great teachers that had been studied by those who put together the Christian doctrine.
