The Wedding at Cana was likely syncretized into the Christian church from Dionysian stories. Inside of Christian tradition, the story of Jesus' first miracle makes no sense at all, but the idea of Dionysius turning water into wine makes perfect sense. I love the idea of Jesus using divine powers to get out of making a beer run. We've all been there, but it stands out as inconsistent in Pauline Christianity.

Truth is brought into this world again and again, from the very beginning of time. That's why people think that various events are plagiarized. They are not. They are REPEATED. And... If you want immortality, there is only one thing you can "drink" in order to get it: Absolute Truth. See "The Book of God" at A Course in Truth. It takes less than 10 minutes to read. But it will take the rest of your life to fully absorb.

@@tomrhodes1629 I grew up Baptist. I already know all the "truths" you do. I've just grown up and realized that they aren't true.

Good to see this topic here! the esoteric nature also leads to the opposite end of the spectrum, such as the conscious resistance network that appears to have points in common with Qanon. Looks like we are heading the right direction….

This world IS a "conscious resistance network." In a word, this world is FEAR (made manifest). And...

Immorality? Immortally? Immortality? One way in the title, another in the paragraph above, another in the audio.

A clarification: "Jesus" (Yeshua) is the man. Christ is the Spirit of GOD in the man. In EVERY man. You can't kill Christ. You can only kill the man. And: "Spirit gives life, the flesh counts for nothing." And as for the TRUE Holy Grail, it is FOUND, as my book makes quite clear. And to seek a physical object is a waste of time. You really think they have the real Spear of Longinus? No. People also claim to have pieces of the real cross, the nails, the crown of thorns....and yet many people think the Shroud of Turin is a fake. It is not. And THERE is a real physical treasure for you, because a picture is worth 1000 words. God's prophet speaks truth to an insane world. And in this insane world YOU are a wise gem, Thom.
