3 1 While he was going from there with his father Joseph, a child running tore into his shoulder. And Jesus said to him, “You shall no longer go our way.” And instantly he died. At once the people, seeing that he was dead, cried out and said, “Where was this boy born that his word becomes a deed?”
Is this from the supposed lost text of the Bible that describes the incident? I had always read the Ra passage to mean that Jesus physically assaulted a playmate out of frustration and accidentally killed him somehow (like a freak accident), but recently took note to Ra's words that Jesus "first discovered his ability to penetrate intelligent infinity" through this incident...then I wondered if it were something more like what is described here. Thanks for sharing this.
Quote:I can't help but to ask, if Jesus was a man who actually existed, and if these stories are historically accurate, what sort of person would Jesus have been? When I was a child I wouldn't have hurt anyone, even to say something mean. We also instinctively know our powers.
Would a Wanderer with a natural affinity to contact intelligent infinity and have his "word become deed" understand this power at a young age? Do you suppose that, if this account is factual, Jesus instinctually knew that his emotion and focused intention might harm the other child? I would doubt this. I also remember throwing violent tantrums as a child as a result of frustration, becoming violent and bitter, despite the fact that I was normally a very docile, calm, quiet, and gentle kid. All energy centers are awaiting to be activated in entities new to incarnation...no one is automatically balanced, and some may have some issues activating in balance despite their preincarnational disposition.
Quote:I can see the efficacy of Ra talking about how to get off the wheel of karma using Jesus as an example. As I have no emotional attachment to Jesus at all, I don't care whether it's a metaphor or a true story. The substance of the story is the way to get off the wheel of karma.
I don't have any attachment to the idea of Jesus being real either, and the fact that Carla has such a strong belief in the matter makes me question the legitimacy of any Christian or Jesus related talk within the Ra material and any other channeling she does. I was mainly asking zodekai out of curiosity. I've got no problem with arbitrarily picking and choosing what one may consider a metaphor, but it does "muddy up" discussion a bit in certain situations.
