The Genuine Jesus: A Channeled Autobiography

By Alan Ross

Never before has there been a book with the power to dispel the archaic superstitions of the Bible and replace them with truth, logic and natural law from the Master himself. Received through the mediumship of the Washington, DC lawyer, James E. Padgett by automatic writing this engaging story is now being revealed for every thinking person who has to questions the creeds and doctrines of the Christian churches.

Jesus states he was not born of a virgin, but in the normal way. Nor is he the second part of a supposed trinity or a God to be worshipped. His death on the cross was not to pay a price for sin, but was because of sin – the sin that was in the hearts of the rulers and in some of the people. Jesus is astonished by the absurdity of the doctrine of the vicarious atonement. If it were true that God's plan for the redemption of sin was Jesus’s shed blood and death, then why is it, that those who made the payment of this alleged ransom possible - Judas who betrayed him, the Jews who clamored for his death and Pilate who pronounced sentence - not considered saviors as well even if only in a secondary sense, instead of being thought of as traitors and villains.

“These spirit-inspired scripts offer a fascinating and intriguing alternative view of the life and teachings of Jesus. No one can doubt their sincerity” - Tony Ortzen editor Two Worlds Magazine

PREFACE

The Genuine Jesus is a unique work in that it is the channelled story of the life of Jesus told in the first person, as it was received from him by the two American mediums, James E. Padgett and Daniel G. Samuels.

The original writings used for this story were given to the mediums over a period of many years and not in any particular order. Therefore, the material for this book has been organized to follow the events of his life as recorded in the New Testament of the Bible. In this book his life is traced from his birth and youth to his ministry, death and resurrection. The majority of the material originated from Jesus, except for some portions that came from other spirits who were present as mortals at the time the events of this story took place.

There are two hundred Bible references, that have been verified using the King James version. Some of these passages are not exact biblical quotes, but refer to Bible passages that the reader can use for reference when comparing this story with that of the New Testament.

In The Genuine Jesus there are concepts about his life and teachings that, to my knowledge, are not to be found elsewhere. The reader is asked to keep an open mind to things not found in the Bible or in any other spiritual literature.

INTRODUCTION

Since his appearance in Palestine over two thousand years ago the story of the man from Galilee has spread to all corners of the world. His life has inspired artists and musicians to reach new heights. Great houses of worship have been erected to his glory, and all in adoration for him having lived a perfect life.

Who, then, was this man? Was he the result of a virgin birth? Is he God incarnate to be worshipped? Did he come to die on a cross for sin? Jesus states in his writings that these things are all wrong. He was not born of a virgin, but in the normal way. He is not God and does not want to be worshipped nor did he come to die to pay a price for sin. Instead, he died because of sin – the sin that was in the hearts of the rulers and in some of the people. His mission was to announce that God’s love was now available and to show the way to obtain it, and that he was the first to obtain through prayer an immortal soul filled with the essence of God – divine love. It was in this way that Jesus became the Christ, the promised Messiah and the first true son of God.

Jesus did sacrifice himself, but in a way that was never relayed or understood by the Gospel writers. He gave up the opportunity to have a home and family of his own and lead the quiet pursuits of a Nazarene carpenter. Instead, he endured the hatred and opposition of those who did not understand him and were threatened by him. He lived a life of constant travel, often without having a place to lay his head. He states, that the doctrine of his blood sacrifice is just one of many that are pure speculation on the part of the church fathers and cannot be satisfactorily explained. Their followers are told to accept this doctrine on faith alone, but, for many, faith was not enough of an explanation. These people, myself included, have sought answers outside the Bible and the established churches.

In 1982, my search for understanding led me to a small group of Spiritualists where I was living in Santa Cruz, California. Their faith was based on a spiritual event that had taken place at the height of Spiritualism’s popularity in the form of extraordinary channeled writings originating from Jesus and his disciples, but have gone unnoticed. In an early message, Jesus states, The work I am now engaged in represents a new and important revelation from the world of spirits. Once again, Jesus had come to the earth, only this time in spirit form from high up in the heavens to be close to the lawyer James Padgett, who he used to record his thoughts by the means of automatic writing.

James Edward Padgett had been a practical lawyer in Washington, D.C., for thirty five years prior to the development of his mediumship. Padgett was not a Spiritualist, but a Methodist. His mediumship began in 1914 shortly after his wife Helen’s passing. Padgett loved Helen dearly, and her loss left a void in his life. A friend who knew of his loneliness urged him to attend a spiritualist meeting in the hope of making contact with her. Although reluctant, having been raised Protestant, he eventually agreed to attend the meeting held at the home of a Mrs. Maltby.

There the medium described Helen perfectly and told Padgett that she wanted to contact him from the spirit world, and that she recognized he had the ability to receive his wife’s thoughts and to write them down. In the evenings that followed, Padgett sat patiently at his desk with pencil in hand thinking of Helen and longing to make contact with her. Many nights passed with no results, until one evening his hand moved and he produced scroll-like characters that he called fish hooks and hangers. With practice he was able to write a short note signed Helen, in which, she encouraged her husband to continue his efforts to receive her thoughts and to believe that it was really she.

Of course Padgett was skeptical that the communications were actually from his deceased wife, and being a lawyer asked her for proof. Helen responded by sending facts about their life together that Padgett recognized only the two of them had shared. At first he thought the information could be coming from his own mind or subconscious, but he soon dispelled that thought, for many of the things written he had forgotten long ago, and only Helen would have remembered them.

Padgett began reading books on psychic phenomenon and attending meetings where he was advised to continue taking messages while learning more about spirit communication. Just prior to the writing sessions Padgett expressed that he could feel his wife’s presence intensely, which brought him great comfort. In time he was compelled to accept the evidence of his writings as proof that was as compelling as any he had heard in a court of law. He was now convinced that his wife was alive and well, living in another dimension, and that she was able to send her thoughts to him and he was able to write them down.

Helen’s letters then took a turn from the personal to the spiritual. She informed her husband that his ability to write messages from spirits was known in the higher realms of the spirit world and that Jesus and his disciples wanted to use him to bring spiritual knowledge to the world. Soon after, Padgett wrote a message from Jesus stating, that he had been trying for centuries to find a mortal instrument who he could use to record his thoughts to correct errors that had been recorded in the New Testament about his life and mission.

Padgett had not been selected because he was more spiritually evolved compared to other men, for there were many others who were more advanced than he. But it was because he possessed a natural psychic gift that could be developed. Most importantly he had the rare ability to make his mind completely passive for the spirit’s thoughts to pass through his brain and take dictation without imposing his own thoughts along with those of the communicating spirits. In conjuction the spirits moved his hand by spirit overshadowing to write their messages accurately. Padgett was instructed through his writings to pray often for God’s love to enter his soul to increase his psychic power, which would give his mediumship a higher quality of receptivity. His devotion to this work enabled him to create the optimum conditions by purifying his mind of material thoughts in order for him to receive every nature of moral, intellectual, and spiritual knowledge.

After Jesus completed his great messages, his disciples and ordinary spirits were allowed to take advantage of Padgett’s talent. In one such message from John, the apostle, he describes the physical appearance of Jesus.

John states, "I have never heard of any portrait having been painted of Jesus while he lived on earth. The oldest portraits in existence of him were not made until years after his death and by men who could not have gotten a description of him from anyone who had seen him.

Nevertheless, as were the rest of us who were his disciples, the Master was a Jew, although, he was not typical, for he had a condition of soul that, to a large extent, determined and fashioned his appearance. His eyes were not dark or brown, but a violet blue. His hair was light and inclined to be auburn, he wore it parted in the middle and it reached to his shoulders and was somewhat wavy, a beautiful head of hair that seemed to be full of life.

His nose was straight and prominent, his beard was the color of his hair. His forehead was not very high or broad, but was well shaped and somewhat effeminate. Surprisingly, this was an indication that he did not have as much mental development as one might suppose, but his knowledge was not of the brain but of the heart and soul."

Jesus traveled the roads and footpaths of Palestine as the living example of the new covenant that God had promised many centuries before through the Hebrew prophets. The divine love as perceived through the spiritual vision of Hosea, Jeremiah, Isaiah and Ezekiel had now become a reality in the human heart and was exemplified in all its divine beauty and splendor in Jesus. He loved all mankind with a love that showed itself in kindness, in the service of others, in the healing of wounds and sickness, in elevating sorrow and in giving sympathy and comfort. He brought hope and taught redemption to thousands.

Unfortunately for Spiritualism and the world Padgett chose to confide in only his most trusted spiritualist friends. His decision was influenced because his savings were depleted due to Helen’s long illness and he had to continue to work to live. He surely realized that if he revealed his mediumship, it could jeopardize his reputation and law career, so he kept his writing private for the remainder of his life.

With his passing in 1923, his writings could now be made public. Dr. Leslie Stone his closest friend was given the job of publishing his works. Dr. Stone was born in Aldershot, Hampshire, in 1876 and emigrated to Toronto, Canada, in 1903, where he was introduced to Spiritualism. In the fall of 1914 he relocated to Washington, D.C., and became acquainted with James Padgett. Dr. Stone was often present during the writing sessions and observed that the spirits thoughts came in such rapid sweeps of interconnected words that Padgett had no time for thought. In fact, he insisted that he had no clear idea of what his pencil had written until he read it afterwards.
