Part of the process discovering the Gnostic Jesus, The Christ Within, is also unlearning all the chimeras of the Angelic Mafia. That includes the fable of the biblical Jesus. Remembering our divine heritage entails forgetting our mortal falsehoods. So we deconstruct the Jesus of The Bible and recognize that most of what we've been taken for granted about the historical Jesus has been a gross misrepresentation. We also put forth evidence that the teachings themselves of the Canonical Gospels might have derived from the Essenes of Qumran. Special Guest: Dr. James Gardner, author of 'Jesus Who? Myth versus Reality in the search for the Historical Jesus' and editor of http://www.jesuspolice.com/. Topics Discussed: --We comb through the Canonical Gospels and Epistles, Palestine history, apocrypha, Church tradition in order to slice away at the layers of the Jesus Christ we have come to known. --The probability that Jesus wasn't from Nazareth and wasn't born in Bethlehem. --Why didn't the Gospel of Mark, the earliest Gospel, deal with a birth narrative? --The myth of the virgin birth. -- The misconception that Jesus was a handsome Semite with long, flowing hair and a beard (quite the opposite actually-- more Wallace Shawn and less James Caviezel). --The prospect that the Orthodox Jesus came from a wealthy, slave-owning family and was never a carpenter. --How the discovery of the Gospel of Thomas was the tipping point in the dismantling of the Orthodox Jesus Christ. --Why his name wasn't even Jesus or Christ. --Could the Jesus of the Canonicals actually have been a rebel magician a hundred years before his alleged birth? --The possibility that the Orthodox Jesus is but a composite character of the many Messiahs that caused havoc in the first century Palestine (what have those Romans ever done for us?) --How the teachings and behavior of the Jesus in the Canonicals point to an Essene theology. And much more! If you're on the cusp of believing in a historical Jesus, this might be the breaking point you've been dreading or hoping for your entire life. And the gnosis you will need to live a new and real life without borders, limitations, and the religious laws that strangle imagination and reason.
