The possibility of Jesus (and maybe some disciples after his death…I’ll get to that later) reaching India / Tibet / elsewhere is quite an intriguing idea to me, because the possibility then exists that he awakened in the Far East during his “missing years”, and then returned to his homeland subsequently to start his ministry.
Quo specifically mentioned a specific place in India/Pakistan (depending on your today’s political view
Gradually, as he began to mature into an adult person, it came to him that he must travel and so he began to walk upon a path that was as varied as his sense of each day’s shape. He set off upon a pilgrimage, although the one known as Jesus certainly did not think in terms of such but rather simply that he was called to the road. And guided by spirit and silence, he walked through parts of Africa and parts of India. (We have difficulty using place names with this instrument as she has no familiarity with those regions.)
Braving hunger and extremes of weather, the one known as Jesus walked many a weary mile and visited the campfires and the caves and the holy places of those who thought along the same lines as those he was taught and those who did not, learning always, accumulating wisdom, and sifting it, winnowing it, and gradually coming into a fuller and fuller sense of who he was, not as the one who had learned these things but as the one who the witness of the process of that learning and its tumbling about and settling into those patterns of thought that he found truly helpful.
It was during this phase that the one known as Jesus gradually became more and more aware of the shape of his future ministry. We give this instrument the image of mountains and sweet water and the name Kashmir , as the furthest that this entity walked before he began the journey, not precisely home, but the journey towards what this very dedicated entity felt was his future and his chosen ministry.
While this entity had been traveling, one of this entity’s relatives, the one [known] to this instrument as John the Baptist, had begun his own ministry. Feeling under a real compulsion to purify himself and to allow to fall from himself all things that were not holy, the one known as John began to attract followers to himself with a very simple and direct message, the message of prophets from time immemorial: return to the Creator, cease from error, and serve only the highest and best.
This week, in the spirit of the season that we are entering, we would like some information on the entity that we know of as Jesus the Christ, Jesus of Nazareth. We would appreciate any information about this entity or his incarnation very much.
There has been some ‘possibilities’ that Jesus returned to the same area after the ordeal in Judea, and somehow John (the disciples not the baptist) knew this and also went there as you’ve mentioned.
So yes, Jesus learned from many sources / tradition too, similar to Siddhartha during his seeking journey.
To me this make the case of ‘one original church’ became more and more irrelevant.
as the final embarkation point before Jesus embark on his ministry.
