Jesus here talks about his family life, revealing what the Holy Grail is, in an interview for An Hour with an Angel, 2013.
“Jesus: You are Love. It is All You Have Ever Been,” channeled by Linda Dillon, December 18, 2013, at https://goldenageofgaia.com/2013/12/jesus-you-are-love-it-is-all-you-have-ever-been/.
Jesus: More and more has come to light, thank goodness, about my life and my family. Let me begin by saying this. I loved, I adored my family. It was arranged, as you all know. It was a culture and a time where there was adherence and understanding in a different way to prophecy and to lineage. I was born into what you can think of in your terminology [as] a favored or even a privileged position, what many would think of as a privileged family.
But even what you would think of, today, as a privileged family was not necessarily the way that we lived. Because there was also agreement. But I lived in — as a child and in teaching — a very extended family setting.
You know about my mother and father — an aspect of the Mother and an aspect of Archangel Jophiel, but in human form. And I wish to emphasize that. My life was not sublime. My life was not a human, physical journey of ecstasy.
Now, was I — well, more than fortunate — [not] blessed, in the truest sense of the word about how I came and who I was parented by? And even my grandparents. Anna, my grandmother, I loved her dearly.
I had seven siblings. Everybody gets confused on this issue of virgin birth — again, understanding and misunderstanding of what purity truly means and what impurity means.
We could spend many hours discussing this, could we not? There could never be any question about the purity of my mother. But following my birth, there were many children. And that was powerful, and that was right, because from a very early age — I was not always singled out as the special one.
I had to learn to behave, to adhere to what you would think of as family structure, and strictures, and behaviors and customs — yes, there was a great deal of study, but there always was in families of our nature. Did I receive a great deal of instruction? Yes, I did, particularly with the Wise Ones.
So my… my schooling, as you would think of it, was not simply restricted to Judaism. It was very broad. And I also tell you that Joseph taught me how to be a young man, and then a man. It was Joseph, my father, who taught me patience and silence.
My nature, particularly as an adolescent and a young man, even a child, I always wanted to tell everybody what I perceived, what I already knew. So he taught me this balance and the importance of balance. Because I could not have healed, I could not have taught, I could not have stayed the path if I had not used and learned and remembered and embodied the divine qualities my parents taught me and my siblings reinforced.
Who you think of as Mary Magdalene, the Magdalena, my beloved wife, was in so many ways my other half — you know, because you have all been working on divine partnership with your sacred other. The Bible contains many stories of my life, but you also know that it has been severely edited.
There were two strains of thought: One that wanted to simply maintain power and exclude women. That has been a theme throughout human history, has it not? And those who wanted to keep me in the divine realm and not to show me as a man, a prophet, and a teacher as well.
It would have gone contrary, significantly contrary to custom for me not to marry. But I was completely — your expression would be, madly — in love with my Magdalena. From the very first moment I saw her, we both knew. And we both knew of our mission and purpose together, and we both knew the path that lay ahead. But that did not stop us from having our life together in great joy and passion and love. …
Part of what we were doing is the paradigm for sacred partnership. The Magdalena had her own training, which was extensive, particularly with the Essenes. She was the one who brought ritual. She was a channel long before she met me. And she continued to do that and to perform ritual and sacred ceremony. That is what she brought to our partnership.
But what she also brought was joy and the creation of family. We had two children — a little boy, Samuel Thomas James, sometimes called David. You know we had many names in those days. Everybody had need to be included and honored.
Our son died when he was three. He was the brightest light. He was the gift that we had been given. In many ways he was our hope and the continuity, because we also knew that my life would not be long.
We had a daughter, very much like her mother, our beloved Sara. Did she become our lineage, our vessel, our hope? Bright and beautiful? When we knew that my time was coming to conclusion, my Mary wanted in many ways to simply come with me. It is often this way, when you are truly in sacred partnership. You even see it now, how people will die close to one another.
But our promise was that she would live to teach, to protect, and to bring Sara forward. And that is why — even though there were many political reasons and many who would like to have wiped all of us out — but why Magdalena was brought to a place of safety.
And so what we began in love, in sacred union, continued on, and still does to this day.
Steve Beckow: Lord, could I intervene for a moment here, please?
J: Yes. Of course.
SB: Did you, or did those who survived you, call Sara the Holy Grail in order to keep her identity secret?
J: Yes.
SB: All right. And is there anything more you want to say about Sara? Is she still playing the role?
J: Oh, yes. She is on the planet, and she is still the Holy Grail, and she is still secret.
