Jesus In India Those Lost 18 Years Ages 12-30


The picture of Jesus meditating in the Himalayan forest surrounded by wild beasts shows that they were all tamed by his very presence.

Have you ever wondered why the entire New Testament only relies on the first twelve years of Jesus’ life and his last three years, while discounting the greater portion eighteen years that he lived?

If only discrediting the work of Nicholas Notovitch, a traveler from Russia in 1887, stood the test of time. It does not, according to my studies. Countless others have followed the path of Notovitch to India in search of evidence that Jesus Christ was there.

“An ancient Chinese text on the history of religions and their doctrines, known as The Glass Mirror, had this to say about Lord Isha (some say Issa or Yesu) and His teachings: ‘Yesu, the teacher and founder of the religion, was born miraculously…. His doctrines did not spread extensively, but survived only in Asia.'” from the book The Christ of India, subtitled The Story of Original Christianity by Abbot George Burke (Swami Nirmalananda Giri)

Had Notovitch been the only one to write about Jesus in India, and got discredited as he did, that would be one thing to consider. But now there are others who have visited the Himis monastery, such as Swami Abhedananda and Swami Trigunatitananda, both direct disciples of Sri Ramakrishna and preachers of Vendata in America, who journeyed to Ladakh on separate visits. They both verified the existence of ancient Buddhist texts recording the life of Jesus. Swami Trigunatitananda was also shown two painting of Jesus by the Buddhist monks, and had a copy of one made from his memory when he was living in America as a Vedanta missionary, shown in the picture above.

According to The Christ of India, “Robert Ravicz, a former professor of anthropology at California State University at Northridge, visited Himis in 1975. A Ladakh physician he met there spoke of Jesus having been there during his ‘lost years.’

“In the late 1970s Edward Noack, author of Amidst Ice and Nomads in High Asia, and his wife visited the Himis monastery. A monk there told him: ‘There are manuscripts in our library that describe the journey of Jesus to the East.'”

These are not the only travelers to check out for themselves the fact that Jesus spent these years in India and the Himalayian Mountains in Tibet. The question is, why have most religions consciously chosen to omit 18 years of the life of Jesus from their teaching and preaching?

The Vatican is said to have sixty-three manuscripts of Jesus in India and Tibet, but opted to only promote their own teachings which keep them in power through guilt and oblation. Jesus taught other things. Some of the records of Jesus also say that he survived the crucifixion and have records of him in their sacred writings. If this is the case, then there is even more of the life of Jesus we have to discover, that is if we can move past fear to learn something new.

What if what you have learned all your life by other organized religions was wrong, through their own self-promotion?

It seems Jesus was known as Isha Nath, a great teacher of the order of Nath Yogis. His life is recorded in one of their own sacred books, Nathanamavali. It was the life they knew as Jesus the Christ. According to the tradition of the Nath Yogis, Sri Pal said, “It is also their conjecture that Jesus Christ and this Isha Nath are one and the same person.”

The following is from the Nathanamavali, “Isha Natha came to India at age of fourteen. After this he returned to his own country and began preaching. Soon after, his brutish and materialistic countrymen conspired against him and had him crucified. After crucifixion, or perhaps even before it, Isha Nath entered samadi by means of yoga. (Yogis often leave their bodies in samadi, so it is not amiss to say that Jesus did indeed ‘die’ on the cross.)”

It is not your nor my opinion that makes a fact a fact. What actually happened is what happened.

Continuing from the Nathanamavali, “Seeing him thus, the Jews presumed he was dead, and buried him in a tomb. At that very moment however, one of his gurus, the great Chetan Natha, happened to be in profound meditation in the lower reaches of the Himalayas, and he saw in a vision the tortures which Isha Natha was undergoing. He therefore made his body lighter than air and passed over to the land of Israel.

“The day of his arrival was marked by thunder and lightening, for the gods were angry with the Jews, and the whole world trembled. When Chetan Natha arrived, he took the body of Isha Natha from the tomb, woke him from samadhi, and later led him off to the sacred land of the Aryans. Isha Natha then established an ashram in the lower regions of the Himalayas and he established the cult of the linga there.” (“The cult of the linga) refers to the Shaivite branch of Hinduism.)

Are you aware that there are two relics found in Kashmir? The first is the staff of Jesus, which is kept in the monastery of Aish-Muqan and is made accessible to the public in times of public catastrophe such as floods or epidemics. The second is the Stone of Moses – a Shiva linga that had belonged to Moses and which Jesus brought to Kashmir and is now kept in the Shiva temple at Bijbehara in Kashmir.

The amazing thing about this Stone of Moses, which is one hundred and eight pounds, is that if eleven people put one finger on the stone and recite the bija mantra “Ka” over and over, it will rise three feet or so into the air and remain suspended as long as the recitation continues.

According to the book, The Christ of India, “Shiva” means one who is auspicious and gives blessings and happiness. “In ancient Sanskrit the word ka means to please and to satisfy-that which Shiva does for His worshippers.

Abbot George Burke (Swami Nirmalananda Giri) said, “I have met two people who have ‘raised the Stone of Moses.’ One of them said that the number required to raise the stone relates to their spiritual development, and that he had raised it with only three others.”

One thing I know for sure, there is more to Jesus Christ than the 15 years that have been told to you.

Courage is not the absence of fear. Courage is feeling fear and doing what is necessary to get to the bottom of discovering all that Jesus Christ taught, not only what religious control systems portray as the one and only truth.

Adolf Hitler Led A Failed Coup ~ Was Treated Leniently ~ We Must Not Imitate The Worst Disaster In The History Of The Civilized World


History is one of the best tells on human behavior. History repeats itself when we do not pay attention. History matters.

Auschwitz, Germany

Our thoughts, words and actions have consequences.

Denial, lies, and conspiracies can never stand in the light of truth. Truth is the only saving power in the face of malevolent forces with self-serving and greedy agendas. Thank God for those who see and stand up for truth in the midst of unpopular opinions seeded by denial, lies, and conspiracies. Hopefully honesty and integrity are stronger motivating forces than self-dealing and killing our democracy for which was so hard fought. May others not cave to the embarrassment of realizing they have been lied to, and recognize truth over fiction and delusion.

Democracy matters. It is possible to lose our precious democracy. It is beginning to happen from within. We need to make better choices if we do not which to repeat the sins of the past.

It starts by twisting the truth, ignoring the truth, and trampling on the truth, all of which erode democracy.

You matter. Each one of us matters. This is not a sports team where we pick a side and stick with it no matter if they win or lose. What if people started saying that Kansas City Chiefs quarterback, Patrick Mahomes played much better than Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback, Tom Brady, and therefore the Chiefs won the 2021 Super Bowl last week? It would be a lie, as much as Kansas City wishes it were not. But to say the Buccaneers won over the Chiefs would be a denial of the facts, much the same with the 2020 Presidential Election being stolen. It simply did not happen. Truth matters.

It is good to remind ourselves that we can back the wrong side of democracy through ignorance, while listening to the lies many promote. How do we tell if we are on the right side of the law? Some say they stand for law and order, but law and order is not the same thing as treason, sedition, coup, terrorism, nor fascism.

Close-up shot of the Liberty Bell with Independence Hall in the background at dusk. Located in downtown Philadelphia, this monument to liberty continues to draw crowds on a daily basis.

Liberty matters. We stand for liberty of all people, not just white people. Unless you were born as an American Indian, we are all descendants of imigrants.

Trying to suppress the vote of anyone for any reason is not democratic. All votes count, even if they are from black and brown people, students, the elderly, and women. Only wanting votes of white men to count is a white supremist agenda. Claims of voter fraud are attempts to thwart the fact that every vote counts, even mail in votes, which our military and many politicans use.

Voting is also not about red states and blue states. There are Democrats, Republicans, and Independents in all states. By the way, Jesus was not a Republican, nor a Democrat, as you well know. He taught the Golden Rule, but he also kicked the money changers out of the Temple.

Each one of us matters. We are more alike than the differences we profess.

The Genome Project, a scientific study done by National Geographic in New York City, using DNA from saliva, shows that all humans come from two individuals, Scientific Adam and Scientific Eve. We are all one, no matter where we migrated to after that. To say you are prejudiced against anyone because of their ethnic background, or skin color, is to say you are prejudiced against your very own ancestors.

It is up to you and me to stand tall for democracy. Pray for your country. Check out the news stations and the reasons why people are saying that President Joe Biden won in a free and fair election. Allow yourself to hear something other than the lies from those who possibly have told them to you. People make mistakes. There is a reason so many people have believed in the lies and conspiracies as if they were real news. Do not stand with the haters. If you are surrounded by people who hate as the glue that holds them together, find a new group of people, based on love.

Learn the truth. Stand for truth. Truth Matters. Democracy Matters.

The Boy Who Cried “Wolf!” ~ How To Stop Teaching Ignorance


There once was a boy who cried, “Wolf!” Everything he thought, he got, though there was never enough of the stuff to fill him up, no matter how much he tried. There was a hollow place inside him that nothing could fill.  It confused him greatly until the day when he learned how easy it was to manipulate others, as if they could fill this ego gap. But the gap was a trap. His ideas, how grand, swirled around in his head. Sure, trouble always followed, but there were those who bailed him out of every jam, every time. He was learning.

This was all he knew. It was an imaginary world where he would be king, played out in real time. What he did not know was how to be honest and true, neither to himself, nor others. Truth was what he made it out to be. He lived in a pretend world of his own making. He learned fast how others would follow his lead in any direction he wanted to go. If he beckoned to anyone, they would come running, since there was always a reward. The problem those around him soon discovered, was that there was also a punishment for not jumping at his every command. He was learning.

He just had to create a façade, something contrived yet plausibly believable. It was ingenious how this plan worked for him, time and again. He tested it often, crying out, “Wolf!” to see who would come running. But come running they all did. He was learning.

What he did not know was what he was doing to himself, to his mind, to his body, to his spirit, to his very soul. He was changing from an innocent boy into a caricature of the human puppet he wished to be. He was like Pinocchio in reverse, a real boy turning into a puppet performing for others on the world’s stage. Something was being born in him he did not recognize, but it was fun for him to think that he could pull the strings of others. Some called it narcissism, perversion, and some even called it malevolent, the birth of a sociopath, so deep was his disassociation from reality. He was learning.

In his world, somehow different from the world everyone else lived in, his reality was what he made it. He garnered a flock of admiring pigeons around him, eating from the crumbs that fell to the floor. They loved it, gobbling up every seed that was sown. He was learning.

He noticed that more and more pigeons came to his beck and call. He thought himself popular. After all, no one else had as many pigeons as he had. He even learned from the pigeons, how they could strut and puff up their own feathers. He was learning.

But the seed was expensive, so he went back to feeding them crumbs from his leftovers. He decided that, since they were believing everything that he was telling them, that he would just tell them, that the crumbs were better for them. Obviously, crumbs were cheaper since they were free. He figured out it was easier to lie than to be bothered with all the problems of him telling the truth. After all, they were only pigeons. He was learning.

Interestingly, the pigeons bought the lie and started telling other birds of all kinds that the crumbs from the boy were the best, tastiest, healthiest morsels they had ever tasted. Other birds believed the pigeons. They traded their high-quality seeds for the crumbs of the boy. The pigeons did not want to be without food. Fear grabbed their bird brains, the pigeons and many of the other birds, and they all willingly dumbed down to the point where they believed the lie was the truth. Now all the pigeons and other birds passed this knowledge on to their children. The plan was working great. The boy was learning.

Then the day arrived when the owls came to see what all the fuss was about, crumbs over seeds. The owls listened and tasted the crumbs. While it did fill them up, the crumbs did not taste as good as the seed did. The owls tried to tell the pigeons the truth of the matter. The pigeons refused to listen. They reasoned, “What did the owls know anyway?” The owls never met the boy, nor heard these words from his mouth. They did. The boy continued to learn.

Season after season the lies were handed down as truth, fiction replacing fact. Slowly the pigeons began dying. The baby pigeons were dying too. They blamed their fate on the owls who showed up rather than on the truth of the matter, that there was no nutrition in the crumbs from the boy, only more lies. Some of the pigeons came to their senses and realized that they felt so much better with the good seed they used to eat. It took time to convert the other bird brains into changing their belief that the seed would make them healthy again. Slowly, one by one, more pigeons gradually came over to the seed side of healthy bird life. The boy learned and became sacred.

How in the world was he going to control the pigeons and all the other birds now that the truth was uncovered? Failure was not an option. He stopped feeding crumbs to the pigeons who changed allegiances. That would teach them a lesson. If they died, that was no concern to him. That was their decision. His narcissism and sociopathy grew with his every breath. He had no feeling for the pigeons that died. He had no feelings at all, except those that fed the bottomless pit of his monstrous ego. He stopped learning.

The pigeons and owls began to flourish, even when he said they would not. The bird brains learned they had to think for themselves. They corrected the errors they had passed onto their children, in order that they could also live better and longer. In time, all the pigeons and owls valued fact over fiction, and good seed over crumbs. They continued learning.

The boy’s mind started playing tricks on him. He had lost control of his ego, which now dominated his every thought, word, and action. When things did not go his way, he knew no way out. He screamed at the pigeons and the owls. He had temper tantrums. How sad it was to see him refuse to grow up when all the time he could choose to recognize that he could be better. He could apologize to the pigeons and owls but somehow that seemed impossible. He did not want to take personal responsibility for the death of all those pigeons. Forgiveness, one way or the other, escaped his understanding. He cried, “Wolf!” one last time, but no one came running. He stopped learning.

The moral of the story is: Truth always comes out in the end. Better to stand by yourself in the truth than in a flock of pigeons who choose ignorance over intelligent knowledge. Decide not to be anyone’s puppet ever again. Forgiveness is always possible, for yourself and others.

Why We Should Not Go By Appearances ~ The Father of Fake News


The Fairness Doctrine made the important distinction between broadcast and cable news. Now the FCC says it is OK for the media to lie to us and pretend they are telling the truth. How do you like being duped?

Appearances and momentum capture the attention so easily that we sometimes confuse what we see, hear and think to be the truth of what we are seeing, hearing and thinking. Magicians know this and use this when they trick their audiences about what they are seeing and hearing, ultimately affecting their thinking.

No, this is not a comical bit from a Friends TV episode. The reality is, sometimes we delude ourselves into thinking that what we are seeing and hearing is real because we literally saw someone doing something, and heard them say it. No one would ever lie to us, right?

We need to be smarter humans. Whether the subject is religion, finance, or politics, it is never advisable to listen to only one side before we make important decisions. Look past the drama, the popular mantra of the group, the wishful thinking and look clearly at the facts, the real and accurate facts.

Many of us have allowed others to confuse our thinking. At these times, we are choosing to step out of our own personal power by listening to others because they seem to be louder, more sure of themselves, or seem to be in the know. If they are pontificating erroneous fictions as if they were facts, how is anyone to know without personal investigation?

Television, radio and social media does not serve the public like it used to do before the days of President Reagan when he vetoed the regulation that the news media had to profess the truth in what they reported. How many of us know that the television news media and some of its counterparts are more interested in the advertising dollars they attain over telling the actual truth which they have consciously decided not to tell?

Keep in mind that it is the conservative entities (not liberals), usually Republicans (not Democrats) who own most of the media who are pushing hardline, rightwing spin to appease the huge corporations and conglomerates who pay for the advertising that makes the TV, radio and print media possible. No one ought to lose their jobs for telling the truth.

We do not help ourselves nor our country when we focus on the fictional reality, such as Fox News with its many hosts, and quote the deception they promote as if that was real. Anyone with a grammar school education, who can read, is able to get to the bottom of the truth of the matter. We do not need to take someone else’s view point, then say, “There are so many confusing viewpoints out there. I do not know what to believe.”

Stop watching fictional news. Go to reputable sources. How do you know the difference?

Go to mainstream news outlets: Reuters, AP, NPR, New York Times, Washington Post, BBC, Wall Street Journal, The New Yorker, Bloomberg News, The Atlantic, and Politico. All these news outlets tell the truth based on facts of actual events and history without spin of a particular political party.

Don’t choose ignorance and confusion over accurate facts. We know fact and fiction are different things, but when people in high profile places tell us something, and we have something to gain by listening to them, we can easily fool ourselves into believing what we want to believe over what is true and factual.

It is better for us all, and for our country, to base all our decisions on real and true facts. Facts do not have opinions, they just are what they are.

It is time to move past choosing sides, as if we are ordering our favorite Kentucky Fried Chicken meal, or picking our favorite sports team. Facts are not interchangeable with fiction.

This is a critical moment in our history, between the Presidential Election of 2020 and the Inauguration of President-elect Joe Biden and Vice-President-elect Kamala Harris, who won in a free and fair election. No one stole the election. Voters in every state as well as the electoral college have certified on this President-elect. These are provable facts.

On January 5, Democratic Senator Candidate Jon Ossoff is challenging incumbent Senator David Perdue earlier in the day in the first runoff election, followed by a second runoff election between Democratic Senator Candidate Raphael Warnock and incumbent Senator Kelly Loeffler.

Georgia voters will be the ones to decide which political party controls the U.S. Senate, since the protracted vote count in the previous election did not result in winners in either race.

Democrats need to flip both Senate seats to have unified control of the White House and Congress. Again, every vote in these elections matters.

Stagnation and the inability or unwillingness to work together works against the democracy this country has long fought for. Perhaps it is time to step out of the molasses and take a new breath sweeping through our land at this time.

Since we are a country of law and order, now is time for us to be lawful and orderly and do what all government officials and everyone in the military have sworn their oath to do, which is to serve and protect the Constitution of the United States of America, not any particular person.

Remember, the Constitution of the United States of America was written because of the abuses of King George III of Great Britain usurping the rights of the people of the 13 colonies. Our Forefathers, representing all citizens then and now, shunned an autocratic king ruling over the USA.

Recognize that this past Presidential Election was run as all previous elections have run, with in-person, and absentee ballots. Absentee ballots include provisional and mail-in as our military have always used and been counted after the election, since they voted on Election Day, often out-of-state or out of the country and required being mailed in to be counted after that day. This is nothing new.

Absolutely no one stole the 2020 Presidential Election. It’s called counting all the ballots because every vote counts. As mentioned above, there were no illegal votes/ballots. This has also been documented by Republican appointees of Homeland Security.

When it comes to counting ballots, ballots that have been cast for one side or the other are not illegal ballots, nor are absentee ballots illegal. This is perhaps the biggest lie being touted today, as if only Republican or in-person votes are legal. That assumption is false no matter who says it. Facts are facts, and history is history.

However, if we do not align ourselves with democracy we will be aligning ourselves with non-democracy, with a ruler who is an autocrat, a tyrant, a dictator, a king and the like.

Saying the economy is great because the stock market is doing well, while ignoring the rest of the 90 percent of the citizens who are lining up in countless food lines, losing their jobs, their homes, their very lives, is not the real test of how “great” the economy is.

Now is the time to stand on accurate facts while we can. It is possible to lose democracy. I believe most of us do not want to do that.

Ignore “Spin” and Hysteria ~ Address Facts With Calm Intelligence


Never address “spin,” the alternate reality of lies, as if it is truth. Notice how, in order to make people swallow “spin-tales,” people become louder and belligerent, with insults abounding. Do not respond in similar fashion. Rather, shine a light on truth, provable facts, calmly and intelligently.

When emotions rise like the crest of a wave, swelling with the intensity of the hurricane-force winds, fear grabs hold. That is the intended response “spin” and hysteria seeks. It is so unfortunate that the arrogant public who pontificate the fiction they tout are exactly the ones who will be hurt by the ignorant words they proclaim. These ones are being used as pawns in a devious political strategy to subvert them.

When irrational emotions replace fact with fiction, we begin the downward spiral into the very “reality” we seek to avoid. By replacing fact with fiction, we willingly delude ourselves into calling subserviance freedom.

Remain calm in the face of hysteria, belligerence and outrageous insults. Nothing pulls the rug out from under the mental and verbal feet of a speaker more than provable facts. Stay the course. It is not as if public awareness is not present. It is, as is video and audio recordings.

When people arrogantly and loudly deny that financial cuts to Medicare, Social Security and the Affordable Care Act, which currently includes care for pre-existing conditions will take place, show them the spot in the Republican budget or the Supreme Court docket that suggests these exact things. Calm intelligence works every time.

Know that the Affordable Care Act (ACA) is a law, not an insurance company by that name. Presently people covered by any insurance company has this coverage because of what the ACA provides, which by this Affordable Care Act law, provides coverage to the public. Without the ACA, insurance companies can drop covering pre-existing conditions, and set unrealistic conditions which benefit their pocketbooks, as opposed to providing better healthcare to the public. Presently there is nothing to replace the currrent Affordable Care Act. Once it is gone, present insurance companies rule by their own whims.

Do you live on Social Security alone? The Republican budget calls for drastic cuts to Social Security expected to take place around February 2021. So when you are told “tax cuts” will take place one month after the Inauguration, know that these same “tax cuts” are cuts to your Social Security.

There is a big push now on the “right to work,” that everyone has a “right to work.” Translated in Republican speak, this can be taken to mean you have the right to work until you die, since your Social Security was cut, requiring you to literally work to death.

People do not like being lied to. Truth matters. We need to take care of each other. Love and kindness matter. Intelligence and honesty matter. Continue learning, because there is so much more to know that what has been told. Democracy is on the line. We can lose Democracy through choosing to remain ignorant of what is taking place before our eyes. Democracy matters.

Recognize all of the situations, even the unspoken ones, that will affect all people personally. We will have to live with the results of our thoughts, words and actions in the next four years. We cannot say we had nothing to do with it, if we chose to remain ignorant of the very things meant to sabotage our very selves.

Unless you are part of the top one percent of wealth earners in this country, or the top ten percent of those making over $500,000 per year, you and I can find ouselves bailing out these ones as we did before by obscene tax cuts for the ultra-rich, in order that they can keep reaping in the profits on the backs of the shrinking middle class. Unfortunately, the trickle down theory has never worked in reality.

Understand that when you hear that taxes are going to go up, realize that what is not being told, is that the taxes that will be going up ONLY for those people making $400,000 and more per year.

The United States of America was founded on the principles of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness for all, not just for the wealthiest among us.
