Well, according to the Scriptures, there is only one Jesus, and all these things describe Him. The negative aspects which Chopra brings out are the things which God has said are not naturally conformable. They are not a product of hate.

This is a very, very interesting video. I plan to purchase this book, as I would really like to study it further. I've read some of his books on health, and they are excellent!

... mere humans who presume to speak for God are guided by the flawed understanding of many humans through the ages and from this source comes the small thinking which leads to harsh judgement, condemnation, and narrow-minded rigidness which we call fundamentalism.

Such "followers" stiffle the broad expanse of love and understanding which the Scriptures convey of Jesus the Christ. It is time now to discuss this openly, to think and to meditate, but no longer follow blindly this path professed by men to be the straight and narrow way to God.

I am reading his book and agree with much of what Chopra writes about in his book. The Unity church to which I belong also takes this position about Jesus.

Yes, only one supreme being. Jesus was a man. He had a life before the Scriptures. Those were the last 7 years of his total of 33 on this Earth. There are 26 years un-accounted for. Hence, the first Jesus, or first part of his life as documented by the Roman records. The Second Jesus, the one used, 'high-jacked' by religions is each of their stories. The Fundamentalists are too into the Old Testament, B.C., the God of Fire and Brimstone the vengeful God, the Judeo-Christian God of Abraham. The third Jesus is what the world should now aspire to, the God consciousness within every atom in the Universe.

Georgiana -

I believe that religion (all religion including Christianity) is man's search for God and Jesus Christ is God's Grace for man (woman). Everyone's spiritual journey is unique and a lonely path. One needs to understand the effect of sin on our lives - sickness, aging and death. Chopra is a master of self-contradicting mumbo jumbo pseudo-intellectual adept at selling a lot of books to naive people in search of God and meaning of life - I don't think that it would make anyone any wiser after reading his latest book.

I can find what I need to nourish my soul by reading the Bible all of it in the proper context.

Religions have caused just about every war since the dawn of time. whether it was one cave worshpping the suna nd the other the moon, it seems to be a contest of whose God is a better God. We wouldn't have this trouble in Iraq, but the Sunni's and Shiites are factions of one religion and they are both against Christians, the Crusades didn't help. If you feel the Bible is you thing, go for it, but I take offence at people trying to push religion , their religion, down my throat. I know about it, it doesn't have to control my life and my intelligence.

I get Chopra's idea, but through my experience of the second Jesus, I want nothing further to do with Christianity in any form. Father Matthew Fox called the fundamentalist Christians "christolators" and I find his assessment accurate. Jesus is used as a cover for all kinds of hatred and evil. The gospels say we'll know them by their fruit. Their fruit is certainly rotten.

Great post. Thanks.

Deepak, Rick, but whose counting! Yes, there is another video by someone called geronami, he goes through all the Jesus' figures even in Hindu, Buddah and Islam teachings. He is somewhat opposed to deepaks teachings, it is right there on You tube for all to see.
I never liked organized religion, I don't go for cults no matter how tried and true. Cults attract fanatics. personal, private religion is what you should seek, even if you are a congregator, the understanding of oneself which is, of course the God-head.

I didn't get to watch the video because I am on the dinosaur for the weekend, so Hubby can have the laptop to play poker. But I did enjoy reading the different views here. Jesus said many would come in his name - he didn't say there will be one or two idiots like Jimmy Jones - he said MANY....... which he leads me to believe that he knew people would misrepresent him. Christianity today isn't what he had in mind: "You've heard it said, an eye for an eye, but I telll you to LOVE those who would harm you, and do good to those who persecute you....." How does war accomplish that? How does being judgmental of the beliefs of others accomplish that? I think we have had many peaceful teachers come to us, and it's about time we started listening.

hear hear Rose. Get hubby to take a break and look at this, and some of other of Chopras videos. I rented the lectures from Netflix, but a portion of them are on You Tube.
You are so right, Jesus preached love, and the people to wanted to live in that respect followed him and learned his teachings, the church took it all and twisted it to suit their needs and those who didn't follow them, the churches, were reviled and wars would, and still do, erupt. The eye for an eye is the old testament and except for the Jews and the Fundamentalists (who are no better than terrorists. Not the Jews) run with this shit!

I pray ....and the prayers have been answered....
I don't dig much further than..... " I believe because I've witnessed his miracles and I have asked and I have received." Thank-you Jesus....

I didn't read all these comments (apologies where due) but there might only be one 'actual' or 'objective' Jesus, but perhaps he means three ways of viewing Jesus, imagining him, three ways we think of him. I haven't see the video yet. I will. :)

Ylanne, It is like we had our persona a children, adults and what we will be later in life. What people forget, first and foremost, is that Jesus was a man.
He had needs, wants and desires, he was Spiritual and perhaps had deep meditational experiences where he spoke to his higher power. The Father, he called him, as the respect for ones father in his times was tantamount. Today, as then, he would be treated as a fanciful 'nut-job'. Not everyone was going for his new age thoughts in his own time, today we call them mystical. He pulled his world out of the old Orthodoxy of Judaism, tried to rid the people of their fear of authority. Always question authority, challenge it even!
