In the East, Jesus would simply have been called a Boddhisatva, one amongst many Boddhisatvas in ages past.
No small feat for sure, they’re the wayshowers who are widely venerated to this day.
Jesus apparently had quite the sense of humour according to the Confederation channelings, so he probably would have enjoyed the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster. 
And Monty Python’s Life of Brian.
This scene is my favorite…
Or perhaps this, this is a very good depiction of what an anti-christ will look like.

Interesting how this mirrors the Taoist and Buddhist writings.
“ten thousand functions, ten thousand things, one suchness” - Tathātā
Maybe Jesus slipped Thomas his copy of the Tao Te Ching he picked up in Kashmir…
I just read this chapter again this morning, and thought it has a place in this conversation.

I do realise the word “impersonal” - as per the title of that book - has almost a negative association in our culture, but if you look at the origin of the word person, the word “person” comes from the Latin “persona” (from the Greek “prosopon” ), meaning “mask”, as in the mask worn by actors in Greco-Roman stage dramas through which the sound travels.
Per (through which) sona (the sound comes from).
The prefix “im” before the word “impersonal” meaning “not” or “no”, therefore “no mask” or “no disguise”…the One expressing through many “roles played/expressions”…ultimately revealed as the Self.
“Impersonal” from the Latin roots in- or im-, “not,” and personalis, “of a person.”
So [not of] the temporary and fleeting “human surface level personality” transfixed and mesmerised by the illusion/stage play.
I’ve been wondering why Jesus did not write his own “gospel book” and I just realized a pattern, it seems there’s a consistent pattern throughout centuries of STS group leveraging ‘mass media’ as tools of mind control.
From the format of “Stone Tablet”, “Scrolls”, “Letters”, “Books” up to TV/Newspaper and Social Media of today, the apparent characteristic is STS group will claim that (their media) as the “Only Authority of Truth”.
Everyone should abide/honor and those who dare to question or much worse, dare to disbelieve, will have harsh punishment / torture await them (#FEAR), whether during the incarnation (performed by authority) or after the incarnation (Eternal Hell after death).
In contrast, Quo always begin with:
“We would, as always, remind you that we are NOT what you would call ultimate authorities. Therefore, we beg of you that you use your own personal discrimination in assessing the value of our words and thoughts.”
It is indeed so. Also I’m proposing to look on it from the point of view of Man-in-the-middle attack. Someone can say that only through him you can access to the source and you cannot do it directly. Only he can interpret. Only he can forgive. Such persons or organizations try to substitute the access to the source (which is as we know is infinite). It happens because they want to control, in both negative or positive sense. It’s not only related to religion but almost to everything. State/government builds in the chain of access to the Earth resources. Tool of exchange as money should be done through single point of control, that’s why blockchain or hewala goes along with “terrorism financing” in wikipedia. Examples of it are so numerous so it seems to be it’s the single technology of control. Looking on the modern IT products it reminds me a competition of way how to hide the very nature of something deeper starting from hiding file extension ending to trying to take away possibilities of scrolling video. And that’s so ridiculous because trying to control e-mail entered, hiding the address and displaying the name instead of it leads to that user has no idea where he sends e-mails. From this point of view Q’uo say they are not the single source of truth but everyone is. We have a built-in mechanism of access to the infinite intelligence so it’s our problem if we’re not using it.
Oh absolutely, this was the modus operandi of the Catholic church for centuries and centuries. Control, censure and fear is the name of the game.
I was pondering exactly things along these lines for the last few days while thinking of the discovery of the Nag Hammdi scrolls in 1945, or the Dead Sea scrolls for that matter. Someone (or a small group) felt it necessary to hide these writings, because a threat was perceived. Whether they intended (or hoped) for its rediscovery in future, we’ll never know.
If you’re a Westerner, you would undoubtedly by now have heard of the destruction of the library in Alexandria, Egypt, but so few Westerners know about an equally calamitous event in the Far East, the destruction of India’s Nalanda university by Muslim invaders. What was lost there is incalculable. Or the destruction/decline of the university of ancient Taxila (no-one knows for sure what happened there, many theories).
Do you know about the Cave of the Thousand Buddhas, discovered in 1899 by a Taoist monk named Wang Yuan, who took refuge in the caves while fleeing the famine in a nearby province. The story goes that he was clearing out a cave when part of a wall collapsed. Thinking the wall to be hollow, he broke part of the way through, where he discovered a secret door.
The Diamond Sutra was one of 40 000 scrolls and documents hidden in the cave, a secret library sealed up around the year 1 000 when the area was threatened by a neighboring kingdom.
So once again, a threat was perceived, and someone (or a small group) felt it necessary to hide/safeguard these writings. It is also possible that someone hid it there for safekeeping, and then lost their life, in which case the secret would have gone with them to their grave. This is a possibility for the Nag Hammadi and Dead Sea scrolls as well.
But just think for a moment how recent all these discoveries are! Consider the Shōbōgenzō by Dōgen Zenji, which today is considered by Western zen practitioners as the “holy grail” of zen teachings, only translated into English from 1975 to 1983. Alan Watts died in 1973, and he REALLY wanted to get his hands on this book, because he couldn’t understand the ancient Japanese the book was written in.
This is what he said in one of his lectures:
And this in the same lecture:
Think of the writings of Meister Eckhart, who was tried as a heretic by pope John XXII. He fortunately seems to have died before his verdict was received. His works were gathering dust on a shelf somewhere for centuries, until it received renewed attention in the 19th century.
Or Rumi, whose works began to be translated into English during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
What I’m getting at, pointing out the recentness of these events, is that something’s happening, to my eye. It’s like an avalance, and of course it goes without saying that it’s exiting. The Ra contact coincided with these other events, and now this perrenial philosophy is spreading, and gaining traction.
To my knowledge, Buddha also didn’t write anything down. Think of the literal meaning of the word Upanishads - “sitting near a teacher”.
Consider what Saint Thomas Aquinas in his last days said to his secretary who was still urging him to continue his writing: “Reginald, I can do no more; such things have been revealed to me what all the writings I have produced seem to me like a straw.”
When you comprehended something you have difficulty to squeeze it correctly in consideration of recipient’s and language limitations. To do it you need to master it, to understand it looking it from any side, and it might take thousands or millions years - I have no idea how long. So it’s avoiding of imperfection, knowing how perfect can be those who can. Not saying about free will limitations.
And within Jesus context, that was also the modus operandi of those whom officialize the “Tanakh”? a.k.a “Old Testament” as it’s known by some today.
Yet it works as a ‘very effective’ catalyst for Jesus (and perhaps many others) to start on their respective spiritual journey.
Subsequently the “books about Jesus” and it’s propagating organizations which contain substantial doze of “Fear” also work as a ‘very effective’ catalyst for many, yours truly included.
Thus the STS pattern or should I say “STS Standard Operating Procedure” are:
- Render the act of any STO agents ineffective (through lies, false accusation and various other manipulative methods)
- If step #1 doesn’t work, take control of the narrative and turn the popular image of STO agent as an ‘icon’ to instead spread STS catalyst and idea. (#fear, #calamity, #hatred, #pride etc…)
- Banish, murder and eradicate any opposing views ensuring that “our narrative” is the only “true/original/official/legalized/authorized narrative”. (#blasphemy, #heretics, #pagan etc…)
It also happened to Ra with similar pattern during Ancient Egypt period.
And I will not be surprised if the above SOP is also being applied to Ra/Quo material of today.
Having said that I also noticed that the “conflict” between the view of “God is far away” vs “God is within each of us” has been happening since ancient times. The church has always been labelling those who think that “everyone / everything is God” as pagan belief.

And yet, and yet…as I sit here and think of any seekers out there searching for the truth, I know they will find it, and that brings a smile to my face.
The cat, as they say, is out of the bag! 
I thank each and everyone of them quite often, from Jesus to our very own Don. They paid quite the price.
As for the neggies, even they will get there in the end, so all is well.
Never label events as good/bad, advantageous/disadvantageous, positive/negative, gain/loss.
A zen story just for you:
This was Joel Goldsmith’s discovery which he speaks of in his book The Thunder of Silence. He reached non-dualaity through meditation.
We use “label” to refer towards a specific “concept”.
Nonetheless the objective of 3rd density is to realize / recognize the concept.
As such; for every “concept” there is the “polar opposite of such concept”.
The “Yin” and the “Yang”, the “Is” and the “Is Not”.
By understanding STS one will realize / recognize STO as it’s opposite.
The “contrast” are told in this tale from Zen tradition:
A village was warned that a warlord and his soldiers were coming to the town, so all the villager fled.
All except an old monk, who stayed meditating in the temple.
When the warlord came and saw him, he become angry, drew his sword and said;
“You stupid monk! Don’t you know who I am? I can run you through without batting an eye?!”
The old monk calmly replied,
“And don’t you know that I can be run through without batting an eye?”
Don’t get me started on zen, we’re gonna be here for a while! 
Wasn’t this conversation about Jesus?..oh yes I remember, he was a zen master!
