I think the tomb was found about 10 years ago.  Even if Hollywood is involved, it's an interesting story.  It looks like Christianity "may" have been wrong for a long time.

As a personal belief, I think that Christianity lost the majority of its Wisdom few decades after Jesus death.  For me, Jesus was an incarnation of a very developed consciousness that was in touch in every moment with his higher self (his father).  He had control over subtle energies and matter.  He was there only to show us what love (PUL) is.  He was there to show us how to become a human+, just like him.  

I think it would be a nice thing to go in focus 27 and investigate on his life.  I would do it, if my skill and consciousness was developed enough.  

scuse me phantasyMan, I do like your pic too. sometimes I look like this with the eyes when I astral travel..heheheh

I haven't heard or seen this; so thanks Spooky I'll look out for it.

Seeing how we generally push and shove, tug and pull one another in life; I think the above statement is pretty full-on.
Also, the power of His love is magnificent being the Son of God. Awesome.

I don't tend to watch much movies but watched Narnia the other night (besides reading the books when I was younger) and was struck at the resemblance of the Spiritual history. Especially the Lion; sacrificing his life for Edmond (the traitor) to the winter Witch, whom has a spell on the whole land to keep it in winter and frozen. She kills the Lion amongst the most ugly creatures her slaves.  After a few hours, or days, the Lion comes back to life and kills the Witch and the land is freed from her wicked spell. Cool.

Greetings,

Could you or anyone explain that further?  I'm very interested in how Love with God and Love between man and woman inter-relate, if that is what you are inferring.
Everywhere around us, it seems, love within family is getting attention. This is hard for us who had to leave blood family to re-find the meaning of love and cause to love.

Straight from CNNs website:

JERUSALEM (AP) -- Filmmakers and researchers on Monday unveiled two ancient stone boxes they said may have once contained the remains of Jesus and Mary Magdalene, but several scholars derided the claims made in a new documentary as unfounded and contradictory to basic Christian beliefs.

"The Lost Tomb of Jesus," produced by Oscar-winning director James Cameron and scheduled to air March 4 on the Discovery Channel, argues that 10 small caskets discovered in 1980 in a Jerusalem suburb may have held the bones of Jesus and his family.

One of the caskets even bears the title, "Judah, son of Jesus," hinting that Jesus may have had a son, according to the film. (Watch why it could be any Mary, Jesus and Joseph in those boxes )

"There's a definite sense that you have to pinch yourself," Cameron said Monday at a news conference. He told NBC'S "Today" show earlier that statisticians found "in the range of a couple of million to one" in favor of the documentary's conclusions about the caskets, or ossuaries. (Watch Cameron talk about his involvement in the documentary )

Simcha Jacobovici, the Toronto filmmaker who directed the film, said that a name on one of the ossuaries -- "Mariamene" -- offers evidence that the tomb is that of Jesus and his family. In early Christian texts, "Mariamene" is the name of Mary Magdalene, he said.

The very fact that Jesus had an ossuary would contradict the Christian belief that he was resurrected and ascended to heaven.

Most Christians believe Jesus' body spent three days at the site of the Church of the Holy Sepulcher in Jerusalem's Old City. The burial site identified in Cameron's documentary is in a southern Jerusalem neighborhood nowhere near the church.

In 1996, when the British Broadcasting Corp. aired a short documentary on the same subject, archaeologists challenged the claims. Amos Kloner, the first archaeologist to examine the site, said the idea fails to hold up by archaeological standards but makes for profitable television.

"They just want to get money for it," Kloner said.

Shimon Gibson, one of three archaeologists who first discovered the tomb in 1980, said Monday of the film's claims: "I'm skeptical, but that's the way I am. I'm willing to accept the possibility."

The film's claims, however, have raised the ire of Christian leaders in the Holy Land.

Stephen Pfann, a biblical scholar at the University of the Holy Land in Jerusalem who was interviewed in the documentary, said the film's hypothesis holds little weight.

"I don't think that Christians are going to buy into this," Pfann said. "But skeptics, in general, would like to see something that pokes holes into the story that so many people hold dear."

"How possible is it?" Pfann said. "On a scale of one through 10 -- 10 being completely possible -- it's probably a one, maybe a one and a half."

Pfann is even unsure that the name "Jesus" on the caskets was read correctly. He thinks it's more likely the name "Hanun." Ancient Semitic script is notoriously difficult to decipher.

Kloner also said the filmmakers' assertions are false. "The names on the caskets are the most common names found among Jews at the time," he said.

William Dever, an expert on near eastern archaeology and anthropology, who has worked with Israeli archeologists for five decades, said specialists have known about the ossuaries for years.

"The fact that it's been ignored tells you something," said Dever, professor emeritus at the University of Arizona. "It would be amusing if it didn't mislead so many people."

Osnat Goaz, a spokeswoman for the Israeli government agency responsible for archaeology, said the Antiquities Authority agreed to send two ossuaries to New York, but they did not contain human remains. "We agreed to send the ossuaries, but it doesn't mean that we agree with" the filmmakers, she said.

Bets,

A new day, a new beginning of refinement.  As it is expressed: Separation is a key. Without separation, there is no growth, no experiencing on this particular plane of existence. The idea of God is the idea of no separation.

The idea is that we arrive, separate in sense from the whole, and work toward removing said separation. This idea is manifested in relationships: We can love unconditionally at first, though it is often masked as lust. The idea is that you are not seeking separation, but companionship, unity or a union.

This is the smaller version of what I am currently exploring. Love, though an emotional reaction, a chemical byproduct, nevertheless has origins beyond the physical. Otherwise, those reporting feeling "love" like they never felt before during NDEs offer that idea. Nevertheless, in relationships there is a continuum: unconditional, conditional, unconditional (expanded).

Now, though it seems simple, the beginning is the idea, the conditions (everything nerve-wracking, what the heck was I thinking,  I could have done better) moment lends itself to the separation. There are expressions of discounting the self, of unworthiness, etc. Thus, the  thus is that if we work through the conditional back to the unity, stronger in the end than in the beginning. Here is an example: last night, during a retrieval, the entity that I encountered was very frightened and it manifested itself as such. Feelings take on a certain density and weight to me in my explorations whereas they appear as forms and entities to others. This entity that I encountered simply said that they didn't know what to do and was afraid. I felt the fear, but I surprised myself. I told this entity that there was no reason to be afraid and that I could help. I am aware that I manifested a healing energy for the entity, and told him that I would get him to a place where he could finish healing. The idea here is that I saw myself separate from this entity, but we existed as a similar form. Our forms were simliar -- energy -- but our individuality gave us separate identities.

Happily, I know this true for me: I can conceive of unconditional love (PUL). I have touched upon it briefly. We know what it would be for each of us and we can perceive it and send it out.


    E.

Ricktimet a wonderful post.  You know, talking about the body of Jesus is so sacred. If I may add my reply to the topic, I do so in humbleness and with love to you all.

Jesus Christ, the Son of God, was born into Earth, lived in Earth, and died in Earth.  He is a man with flesh and bones manifesting the image of God.

This statement deserves hours of contemplation for “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God”.

The Word is Christ, the Logos.  Christ is God’s action; For the Godhead, the Divine Trinity, is Silence.  Out of the silence comes God’s act in Christ.

When Jesus Christ was crucified on the Cross He gave up His Holy Ghost into our universe and his blood spilt into the Earth.  This day, Friday the 13th, a solar eclipse occurred which lasted for three hours.  When Jesus gave up his Holy Ghost the curtain hanging in Solomon’s Temple was torn from top to bottom.  The Earth shook and rocks split apart, graves broke open, and many of God’s people who had died were raised to life.  They left the graves after Jesus rose from death, they went into the Holy City where many people saw them.

Joseph of Arimathea asked Pilate for the body of Jesus and wrapped it in a new linen sheet.  Joseph of Arimathea and St. Mark cared for the body of Jesus and this sacred part of esoteric Christian history may be read in Adrian Gilbert’s ‘New Jersusalem’ for those who are sincere in Christian knowledge.

Just before the crucifixion of Jesus Christ people mocked Him ‘this is Jesus, King of the Jews’ and placed a crown of thorns upon His head saying ‘save yourself if you are God’s Son, come on down from the Cross’.  When Jesus died and gave up His Holy Ghost the people experienced the solar eclipse and the earthquake and the people risen from the dead and they were terrified and said ‘He really was the Son of God’.

And Mary the Mother of Jesus was fainting and Anna and the two other Mary’s were weeping and lamenting although they knew the prophecy from the beginning.  For they were the Women in the Essene Brotherhood in Mt. Carmel, the Order of preparation and dedication of those chosen to make the path straight so the Christ might enter Earth.

‘The Word was with God and the Word was God’.

Edgar Cayce:  He came, the Master, in flesh and blood, even as thou didst come in flesh and blood.  Yet as He then proclaimed to thee, there is a cleansing of the body, of flesh, of blood, in such measure that it may become illumined with power from on high; that is within thine own body to will: ‘Thy Will O God; not mine, but Thine, be done in me, through me”.

And we listen to Jan van Ruysbroeck, a great Flemish Christian mystic:

The Father dwells in the Son, and the Son in the Father, and all creatures dwell in Both.  And this eternal life and being, which we have and are in the eternal Wisdom of God, is like unto God.  For it has an eternal immanence in the Divine Essence, without distinction; and through the birth of the Son it has an eternal outflowing in a distinction and otherness, according to the Eternal Idea.  

For we know well that the bosom of the Father is our ground and origin, in which we begin our being and life.  And from our proper ground, that is from the Father and from all that lives in Him there shines forth an eternal brightness, that is, in the Son, the Father knows himself and all that lives in Him; for all that He has, and all that He is, He gives to the Son save only the property of Fatherhood, which abides in Himself.

And this is why all that lives in the Father, unmanifested in the unity, is also in the Son actively poured forth into manifestation; and the simple ground of our waylessness, but the brightness without limit which streams forth from it, this reveals and brings forth with the Conditioned the hiddeness of God.  

And all those men who are raised up above their created being into God-seeing life are one with this Divine brightness.

And the great Christian mystic Meister Eckhart:
The eye by which I see God is the same as the eye by which God sees me.  My eye and God’s eye are one and the same.

If I have anything, anything at all I give it to you, Gloria.
