Hi Rob,
I've a little experience with pendulums, and know someone who has more experience.
I know from both of these perspectives that questions for such things, need to be VERY specific.
So, if you don't mind, could you and your friend ask another question?
Something like, "Were Jesus and Mary M. lovers in a physical, sexual sense?"
You might be surprised, because sometimes guides are quite literal, or like to use a situation to show us something.

Quote:I don't believe that Jesus would lose his holiness even if he was involved with a woman.
Neither do i, but there are a few reasons why i believe this wasn't the case, besides Cayce saying it wasn't.
There is an interesting concept in the Cayce readings which i have experienced in life as well.
A woman asked Cayce how one could lose their sex drive if they wanted too.
He said that when and if during meditation the Kundalini energy consistently reaches the Pituitary gland--which corresponds to the Crown Chakra, then the drive is automatically lost.
This Crown stimulation is akin to the White Light experience, and often the seeing of the White Light is an indication that the energy has fully flowed through all the Chakras.
During the periods when i meditated very deeply and consistently, i noticed i didn't have any drive at all, it wasn't something i was trying to achieve or anything, it just happened.
During these various times, i was in my early 20's and have had quite a drive since puberty, though i practiced moderation in this aspect of my life (partly because of excesses in other lives in this regard, which created mucho karma).
But my meditation wasn't always consistent, or very deep, and after those periods, it would eventually and invaribly come back to more 'normal' again.
Now it seems like Yeshua was oft in meditation and prayer, you could perhaps say that his life was one long constant meditation and prayer to a very deep and pure degree.
I really don't doubt that he had a full circle of energy flowing from his Base to his Crown, in fact this is one of the things which happens when someone becomes Enlightened, there is a continual circuit created between all the glands and Chakras and the aura becomes pure White Light.
So if any of the above is true, and in my experience the Cayce readings are correct on this aspect of energy, then perhaps he just didn't have a sex drive at all after a certain point?
And if didn't have a sex drive, then why have a lover?
It would be pretty pointless, especially since he came specifically to teach, preach, and be an example of completely impersonal love to all--to the point where he even eschewed his own family.
Having a lover would somewhat interfere with this message, because lovers are of a personal love. I'm not saying that spiritual people can't have lovers, not at all, but rather if you came to the Earth for one thing and one thing only, to be an example of Universal and impersonal love, THEN it wouldn't make much sense. Remember that even at age 12 he gently lectured his mother that he came for God's work, and wasn't here for family or personal love.
Besides, i believe Don brings up some rather logical points on this aspect as well.
