Jesus, from my memory (believe it or not) was a very eccentric student of yogic Buddhism. There was no other superlative teaching on Earth at his time. Then he went back to the deluded Middle East and taught. What he taught he taught in the language of the times. He taught many things to many people, but not all things to all people. Can you dig the difference? Also, what we have of him in remains are some pithy out of context quotes and a teaching devoid of realized teachers. Like in everything.
Of math professors only one tenth of one percent has realized math on a personal level and can explain even high equations as such so that others can really dig them. Other math teachers just expound the mathematics in a bone-dry fashion. Some mathematicians are so brilliant they can make math come alive in the lab, but sadly, most math professors are merely theoretical and teach what was taught to them verbatim without feeling or understanding. This is the teachings of Jesus.
He taught something he learned for many years (a truth I cannot tell-because nobody can), through hardship. He taught something he gleaned off the Silk Road, most likely around Nepal or Afghanistan, then called Swat, which was a land considered full of wise women, probably the last of the matriarchal wise societies of Earth, in the Indu-Saraswati valley (Harappa - place yet earlier of -The Flood-). Jesus learned a superlative teaching. Something of value to the war-leary old world. He was a visionary. What he learned set him on fire and he felt the intractable need to teach in spite of his own better judgement.
He was a sign of visionaries of truth to come. Most people are satisfied with the status quo. But not Jesus. Not most seekers of truth. Those who hold truth as their nectar cannot sell it nor live it down, they must follow to where it leads even unto death. And that's not really such a high price to pay considering it's what we all have to pay anyway. In fact, to follow your truth is to pay less upon death which is really a great thing.
So Jesus was merely an honest and devout truth finder who felt the need to teach what he knew amongst the hugely corrupt and decadent people of the ancient world (alot like the people now). He did what he believed and he payed the relative price for it. That is, with his life (as many do).
Such persons will never be believed or followed by the Materialists who think life is based on a scale of comfort , power, and influence.
On the other hand, Jesus was not an only begotten of God. The sole divinity of Jesus was not even taught until it was a usable notion of the Empire of Constantine. Rather, what Jesus taught was that we all are perfectly divine as is, and that noone is higher or lower on the totem. What you are is what you are. that's what he taught. There is no escaping ultimate reality. There is no escaping the mirror of oneself against ones own essential quietude.
