| THE QUESTION: Christians as well as other historians often like to suppose that you alone are responsible for the greatest of changes to man's spirituality in these past two millennia. What is your take on this? |

THE ANSWER: That's an interesting question! Having little or no ego back then and even today as we speak, it would be totally insincere of me to even suggest that I am at all flattered by being credited with “you alone are responsible for the greatest changes to man's spirituality in these past two millennia.” The simple truth of the matter is that the entire credit, as well as a responsibility for any of the often-terrible outcomes, belongs solely to the Catholic Church and most particularly to those early, mostly Hebrew clerics who prostituted themselves and dared to rewrite church documents in order to fit Greco-Roman mythologies. As it has turned out to being such a tragic nightmare for the countless numbers of innocent bystanders, many of whom paid or made that ultimate sacrifice. This very, not so complementary accolade, that has been attached to and is associated with my name, Jesus, is just another profound and revealing reason for me to have never lived. In fact, this whole idea is an absolute abomination to the very simple and most modest ministry that I had only intended for my own Hebrew people some two thousand years ago. I think I'll like a more modern expression of just how I feel at the moment, “No way José!” Considering that I lived a most modest and uneventful life for some twenty-eight years beyond that almost tragic crucifixion that I suffered for daring to oppose, not only Roman rule, but the very oppressive nature of my own Hebrew religion, this whole idea has absolutely no basis in reality. I wish that Western culture history could be rewritten to reflect the actual truth; that what has so tragically taken place in my name is a total mockery to everything that I once stood for. I almost paid that ultimate sacrifice some two thousand years ago, and in many ways I am now having to painfully re-live and experience of that excruciating trauma of that awful crucifixion once again for just learning of this most divine travesty that followed my life and good ministry in Judea. I'm not sure if this interview will ever be shared with anyone beyond the confines of Lamah’s beautiful San Damiano, but I wish that the whole world could be exposed to the truth whether through me or other countless sources that all have access to the same realities. The actual credit for this question belongs to a dear friend of Lamah, Robin, and I wish that he be thanked personally for giving me the opportunity to correct just one more dreadful and appalling fallacy of this whole Christian chaos of spiritual realities. Just for the record, and most certainly addressed to the very nature of this poetic contrast, I am more than willing to take full responsibility and credit for the contents of this entire interview, and for this golden and rare opportunity, I wish to thank and give credit to Lamah; as for taking any credit whatsoever for the bigger picture, NO THANKS! |
