  THE ANSWER:  When you use the combination of terms “misgivings” and “what actually took place,” the first thing that comes to my mind is some of the specific events that were reported in the Bible.  Keep in mind that that the portion of this Bible that supposedly reports the events of my life was written and transcribed long after I had departed this earth.  The only knowledge I have of what was written is limited to what is actually remembered in the mind of Lamah and I am certainly that he, like so many other individuals, had innocently and initially read the scriptures with the preconceived idea that he was reading something that could be trusted as being the absolute truth.  It would be easy to take on this chore one item at a time, but there is a larger picture that has given me even greater distress.  Before I approach this “larger picture” I want to try and clarify some of the ambiguities that are occurring in the conscious mind of this man to whom you address.  This man has absolutely no doubt in his own rational consciousness that he has somehow encountered the very essential essence of who I am and that the man, Jesus is being clearly and truthfully represented in this interview.  He does not claim to be me in any supposed or imagined manner.  I even sense a bit of emotional and intellectual discomfort at even the attempt of supposing the reality of this very interview despite his earnest conviction and passion for the truth.  But even this rational man has seriously proposed the requisite question of why I am not speaking in my native tongue, if in fact, I am this man called Jesus.  And after some internal exploration of this whole procedure I believe we have finally come to an understanding of what is actually taking place.  I am representing myself through images and intense feelings, and these images and intense feelings are easily translated into any given language; Lamah becomes a translator of sorts with the use of his own language and vocabulary.  It is an interesting phenomenon in that we both share the same consciousness; I am fortunate to have full access to the conscious memory of this man.  But to the contrary, this man, Lamah only experiences my own consciousness of these memories, images and feelings only at the very junction of exploring specific events or a collection of ideas invoked only by any given question.  Lamah, as this man likes to be called, has no idea of the final outcome of this interview and does not have any knowledge beyond that of the specific questions asked.  And understand that I, likewise, cannot tell you about anything that I did not personally experience during my years on this earth with the exception of what is in the consciousness of Lamah, even together, we are most naturally limited by reality.   I am explaining this at this time, because in the exploration of this particular question, it gave rise to what I have referred to as that bigger picture, and Lamah was only expecting some congenial explanation of some specific event like the turning of water into wine.  It just isn't that simple!  And to make the whole thing even more confusing, I had no idea of just how totally devastated this world had become in these last 2000 years of recorded history until I shared the conscious memory of this man.  I have no doubt that what I have only now and with such great anguish discovered are vivid and true representations of reality and as such, I am personally distressed beyond any imagination.  Now, to that bigger picture: it seems so trite and even petty to be concerned as to whether I turned water into wine when it appears that the church and its believers have on so many dreadful occasions so whimsically turned life into death and love into hate.  I am appalled at the human carnage that has and is still taking place in the name of that God with whom I have been so intimately associated as well as in my own name.  I almost wish that I had never lived or even suggested the idea that man could actually love his neighbor; what a total desecration of my simple lesson on love!  It distresses me that so much hate and greed has manifested itself in those very people who with such ravishment claim to be what they now refer to themselves as Christians.  It is claimed that I had such an enormous influence on the direction of Western culture, but I am so ashamed that so much evil, hate and devastation has been wielded in the name of a religion that was never ever my intent.  In my own day I was greatly disgusted with the corrupted establishment of my own Hebrew people, particularly the clergy, and sought only the personal salvation of those who had no power to bring about changes that might have provided hope and a bit of joy in each of their otherwise miserable lives.  I can see now that my meager efforts were hopelessly in vain.
