[Mystics line] **** W A R N I N G **** The following idea is speculation. Please do not believe that it is truth, or conversely believe that it is false. It is not intended to cause offence to anyone, just to prod a little. There would seem to be a gap in the life story of Jesus, as told in the Bible. What did he do between childhood and starting to teach? The following theory attempts to explain the resurrection based on speculation about this interval. Suppose that Jesus spent some time in India with teachers of Yoga. Since he was very developed spiritually, he could have learned advanced mind and body control. It has been demonstrated that people can survive being crucified and being buried alive for long periods using the Yogic training methods. Also, the stone could have been moved using the power of mantra to set up strong vibrations in it (ie:- resonance). This would seem to provide a plausible explanation of the events documented in the Bible. I can offer no proof for this speculation, which is not original. Chris Isbell.
