Beg to differ with you Jennell, Tony O'Clery is correct. Jeshua was from the blood line of David, as was his mother Mary, and Joseph. They were all Essenes. Jeshua was raised in the Essene way and tutored by the Essenes.
Should you wish to read more of the life of Jeshua, please consider reading the Gnostic Gospels. There are several books available in your local book store. The Gnostic Gospels by Elaine Pagels is an easier read. Pagels chose to follow the translations offered in The Nag Hammadi Library. As many readers know, the Dead Sea Scrolls were written in Coptic Greek, and as such - had to be translated. These scrolls were discovered in 1945 near Naj Hammadi in upper Egypt. The area is honeycombed with more than 150 caves and it was within these caves the scrolls were discovered. In these translations you will find many of the lost Gospels of Phillip, Thomas, Paul, Peter, and others, and may shed more light onto the discussion, which btw, should not be a discussion on the Kundalini list.
