Did the Immortal Jesus Really Die on the Cross? Book ReviewThis is the book cover of a different book by author Michael Morgan, called the Emerald Covenant. I’m posting it because fits well with Cracking Open Cosmic Egg theme. Author told me he changed this cover because it was too scary for a lot of people….:) Book Review by Michael Winn Pontius Pilate and his Gospel of Jesus: A Tale of the Christ by Michael E. Morgan. 249 pages. Available on Amazon. I met Michael Morgan 34 years ago at Mantak Chia’s first Greater Kan & Li retreat in 1983. He made his living as a scientist, was a serious practitioner of several esoteric paths, who by accident later became the best full trance channel I’ve ever met. His Healing Tao training may have helped open him up to receive teachings from a Western Immortal from the time of Atlantis, 50,000 years ago. I interviewed this Immortal over a 6 year period and plan to publish that book of interviews after I publish my Primordial Tai Chi series (really!). I have drawings done for it by Juan Li. Michael shifted away from channelling and now uses his considerable psychic skill to read what is popularly known as the “akashic record”. This is the aspect of the Life Force that holds total memory of everything that has ever happened in any dimension of this Cosmos. Michael supplemented this with extensive historical research as well. Naturally, there are a variety of perspectives recorded in the Akasha, so Michael’s history also involves his subjective editing. But I consider his skill sufficiently good to move this Easter tale far beyond the realm of an “imagined” historical novel, and know that his Atlantean guide previously confirmed many of these details of the life of Jesus when asked. This story is about the last three years of Jesus’s life. It is told from the perspective of Pontius Pilate, the brutal Roman governor of Judea, who tracked Jesus closely as part of his job to maintain order amongst the rebellious Jewish population. Pilate employs Paul (formerly Saul of Tarsus) as a spy, who penetrates jesus’s inner circle and sends him reports. Pilate becomes intrigued by Jesus’s obvious powers, as a military man who respects any display of power. He meets with Jesus several times, and secretly becomes an admirer of his teachings. But historical forces – Roman law, an angry King Herod, and Jewish jealots who dislike Jesus’s breaking of their temple taboos – all combine to force Pilate to condemn Jesus to death by crucifiction. But Pilate plots to save Jesus’ life by partly faking the crucifiction. Jesus is given an Essene drug that induces a coma for three days when he is given a sip of vinegar while nailed to the cross. He is left for dead, but is later revived and taken away by Joseph of Arithemea. Pilate arranges for Jesus to be hidden in Egypt’s Luxor Temple, where he continues his ministry (mostly by astral projection) for another 40 years. The story is plenty gory; the dark forces at the time were very strong. All of Jesus’ disciples are portrayed as fairly spineless whimps who end up being brutally murdered by the Romans. Mary Magadalene, Jesus’ pregnant wife, is sent off to southern France. There both her children and her sister Martha are murdered by Roman agents; she much later dies, broken-hearted and alone. By curious twist only the brutal Pilate lives out to his natural old age, perhaps redeemed by his saving Jesus. So why did God allow Jesus to go through so much suffering, even if he did NOT in fact “die for our sins”? In this telling, God (an oversoul aspect of Source) overshadows Jesus for three years only, to demonstrate the potency of the Life Force when applied compassionately. Then God withdraws the empowerment, and leaves Jesus to fend for himself, in order to more deeply experience his own vulnerability and develop true compassion for those who suffer. It also allows for the expression of free will (as love) by Pilate and others involved in the drama. The church founded by Paul – confirmed in this telling as homosexual, phobic, and treacherously selfish – later becomes the Roman Catholic church, and has little to do with Jesus’ original ministry focused on divine love rather than martyrdom, death, and suffering. From my own investigation, I believe that Jesus spent much of his “missing” 18 years being trained in the alchemical arts by the Egyptian priesthood at Karnak, then the major center of learning. Karnak was unfortunaely corrupted by dark forces. Part of Jesus’ work was to challenge that darkness and attempt to prepare the energy body of planet earth for ascension. He failed, as the contraction of the dark side was too strong at the time. The era we modern people live in is witness to the liberation of the planet, due to the spiritual work of many on Earth in the 2000 years since Jesus’s vain effort. Christianity, like many religions, has had two millennia to become an accumulation of both light and dark human thought-forms in the astral mid-plane. Historians have documented that the Romans used Christianity to replace a hodgepodge of other cults of the time, most prominently Mithraism. In both religions the power underlying the Christ is the Solar Logos or Solar Deity at the heart of life in this solar system, and reflected in every human heart. Mithraism’s mythos also included a divine child and redeemer. I follow the Taoist alchemical path beause it removes all the dogma and confusing layers of mid-plane religious thought forms and myths, and goes directly to empower the adept’s human virtues with that of the natural deities of the sun, moon, earth, and stars. I accept that Jesus was a highly achieved Western immortal serving the whole as best he could in the difficult circumstances of his day. I have given a thumbnail sketch of Michael Morgan’s book, but suggest you read it to get his skillfully woven details and authentic feel for the dynamic events of that time. For those uncomfortable with the meaning implied by the term “God”, I suggest replacing it with the Taoist notion of the Original Oneness (Tai Yi). This a 3-in-1 Trinity that alchemically would be defined as Original Spirit, Original Breath, and Original Essence (yuan shen, qi, and jing).
