Alright Dude, I guess i now see better where you are coming from. I'm not so sure that so much of the nativity story is so false. I'm not a bible literalist by any means, and realize that its been both purposely edited for manipulative, control reasons, and also just errors due to re translations and multiple copying. However, like Albert, i've gotten both inner guidance, and have come upon good outer sources which seem to affirm that the N.T. is largely correct in its basic story format, including much of the birth, teaching, death, and resurrection parts.
I'm a bit surprised by some of what you said in the above, especially about you resonating more with the biblical death version than Seth's stuff. I remember it wasn't all that long ago when you were strongly arguing that Jesus probably didn't even ever exist as a physical person, and that peoples nonphysical experiences only occurred because Christianity has become a powerful thoughtform. I remember things like that. When it comes to the subject of Yeshua and his life, you seem to have been very extreme.
It seems like you have quite changed your mind since these times.
Me personally, i don't think Seth's version of Christ's life towards the end, is such a little deal and i don't so casually gloss it over. He states that Jesus and/or his disciples had another would be Messiah drugged to take his place to be crucified and that this did happen.
This makes Yeshua seem rather umm unethical to say the least. Also, with no crucifixion, there is no Resurrection, and i happen to believe that was the main point of Yeshua's whole life and message beyond the general PUL aspect. In any case, the Resurrection grew out of PUL, PUL is life, God is love, God is life, love and life energy are also synonymous, all this in all dimensions. Live that which is truly life, love, and Godly enough and the body physical even stays revivified.
Even if that is the only thing that Seth possibly states in error, well to me is it a big enough one to question the entire thing, because again I don't have any way to verify independently that Seth has material world verifications in connection with same. I'm not just willing to take Robert Butts word for it. Most of what i have read of Seth, is very general and philosophical in nature. And actually, much of that general info i more or less agree with. When i was reading it, most of it wasn't anything really "new" or revelatory to me, much of the stuff i had either read in other places, or had already had intuitions about.
If Seth is truly a nonphysical and spiritually mature consciousness, and Jane Roberts hooked up to him in a clearer way, then why would Seth via Roberts make such a erroneous and clearly diminishing statement about one of the most important aspects of Yeshua's life and example? His whole life was about PUL, and the highest kind of PUL oft requires self sacrifice from the little self for the greater good of the Whole. Do you think it was easy, even for him, to go to his torture and death for a humanity who little appreciated him then, and still really doesn't even today? Most people hated and despised him then, and many still do.
Don't you think, as a man, as someone with still some human remnants in him, that there was some challenge in all this? In the transcending of his last self attachments, and saying YES in the garden, i will do it, for it is the will of the Creative Forces because it is for the highest good for all, in that came the Resurrection experience and Consciousness. When the bible says, "he died for our sins", it doesn't mean literally, but symbolically. He came to rectify certain false beliefs about humanity and the whole process we go through, and to do that, there was self sacrifice involved otherwise in the garden he would not have asked that there might possibly be some other way.
From evidence on the Shroud, we can tell that the man did experience pain and physical weakness, for there are indications that at some point his knee buckled and got banged up in that. It was no walk in the park, and yet once he made his decision in the garden, he went to this fate joyously because he knew that it would help humanity. Cayce said he even joked on the way to Calvary, and that is what most infuriated the authorities then.
As much as i dislike orthodox Christianity, and the whole religious thing, in the past i've asked guidance and have wondered what would have happened if none of it ever happened. I got the impression that we would have experienced even much darker times than we did with the Church. The Church and its influence, though corrupt and self serving in many ways, came on the heels of the likes of Vikings and such groups, who had NO morality whatsoever.
It's quite likely that if Christianity didn't arise, even in its skewed form as it did, that such barbaric peoples would have overrun the world and it would be a very different place than it is. Personally i wish that Christianity had survived in its pure form, as Yeshua had taught it, but i've been told that it just wasn't possible for the times and current developement of humanity as a whole..
And why couldn't have Yeshua been "virgin born"?
