Mosaic of Christ Christianity

Sages in India discovered that a Great Soul was about to be born in what for them was the West–in the land of Israel. Journeying there, they found the Child Jesus and paid him homage, returning to India after establishing ties of communication with him. After some years, having proven that the Essene teachers had nothing they could teach him, the young Jesus travelled to India and lived with those Masters. When his age had more than doubled, he returned to Israel to teach the wisdom he had gained both inwardly and outwardly. The response to his teaching was threefold: indifference, miscomprehension, and hostility. After three years the political and religious authorities conspired to kill him and he was sentenced to death. Consciously leaving his crucified body, in two days he returned to it and appeared alive before many hundreds before departing for India, the home of his spirit. His teachings lived on and, like those of Buddha in the East, came to dominate the West and from there have also spread through the world. Usually presented in a garbled form and misunderstood interpretation, they yet remain a monument to the triumph of spirit over matter and life over death.
