Nicolas Notovitch, the translator of Hemis monastery Buddhist scrolls Nicolas Notovitch (1858-?) was a Russian aristocrat and journalist known for his contention that during the years of Jesus Christ's life[1][2][3][4] missing from the Bible, he followed travelling merchants abroad into India and the Hemis Monastery in Ladakh[5], Nepal, where he studied Buddhism. Notovitch's writings were immediately controversial and after the German orientalist Max Mueller corresponded with the Hemis monastery Notovitch claimed to have visited, and Archibald Douglas visited Hemis Monastery, and both found no evidence that Notovich (much less Jesus) had even been there himself, his claims were widely rejected. The head of the Hemis community signed a document that denounced Notovitch as an outright liar. However, the claims were taken up by Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, the founder of the Ahmadiyya sect, and one member of this sect, the modern scholar Fida Hassnain claims the visit to be real and there are others who claim to have seen the same manuscripts. Issa can be taken as the name of Jesus since Jesus was not his name, in Pakistan and India christians call Jesus as "Yassu Masih" in jewish "Joshua" which when turned into arabic or irani Yosua since many times j becomes y and among the arabs it is a notable fact that many hebrew words which have sh becomes s. A translation of the text that Notovitch claimed to find can be found here. This Hemis Tibetan monastery was along the silk route, when Ladakh was formerly part of Tibet, before India became a nation, and to this day, monks who live here claim that "Issa" was a former student. In the Notovich translation, the section regarding Pontius Pilate is of particular note; in this version of the events around the death of Jesus, the Sanhedrin go to Pilate and argue to save the life of Jesus, and they are the ones who 'wash their hands' of his death, instead of the Roman Pilate.

Epigenesis (creative intelligences)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia For other uses of the word epigenesis, see Epigenesis. Epigenesis is the philosophical/theological/esoteric idea that since the mind was given to the human being, it is the original creative impulse, epigenesis, which has been the cause of all of mankind's development. According to spiritual evolution, humans build upon that which has already been created, but add new elements because of the activity of the spirit. Humans have the capacity, therefore, to become creative intelligencescreators. For a human to fulfill this promise, his training should allow for the exercise of originality, which distinguishes creation from imitation. When epigenesis becomes inactive, in the individual or even in a race, evolution ceases and degeneration commences. This concept is based on the Rosicrucian view of the world as a training school, which posits that while mistakes are made in life, humans often learn more from mistakes than successes. Suffering is considered as merely the result of error, and the impact of suffering on the consciousness causes humans to be active along other lines which are found to be good, in harmony with nature. Humans are seen as spirits attending the school of life for the purpose of unfolding latent spiritual power, developing themselves from impotence to omnipotence (related also to development from innocence into virtue), reaching the stage of creative gods at the end of mankind's present evolution: Great Day of Manifestation.
