The Teacher and Healer from Galilee: Grand Shaman or Son of God



Jesus the Teacher from Galilee, as he was known in his own time, scorned doctors but healed many. He told the physician “Physician, Heal thyself!” in answer to the growing arrogance of doctors. Medicine emerged in Greece about the year 600 BC. The Greek doctors believed that the organs floated round in a mass of fluid, rheum! 

Jesus also cautioned that it is not someone who is healthy who needs a doctor.

Jesus is described by pantheist Freemasons and neo-Nazis as A Grand Shaman, a witch doctor or healer. A healer he certainly was. Jesus in his parables pointed to the healing qualities of eucalyptus leaves and he talked positively of yeast which is essential to the healthy growth of children and good adult nutrition.

Jesus healed the woman who had been bleeding constantly for twelve years. The New Testament records, “She had spent all her money on doctors.”

However, Jesus’ qualities as the Son of God go much further. In what Freud and his type  would doubtless have described as the ego tripping of “a paranoid  schizophrenic” or lunatic, he cast out  devils from  those not at peace with themselves including from Mob who was possessed with two thousand demons. It is a well known apposite that “unclean spirits” infest some people- we all come across them-and usually they are shunned. Who then could have healed them other than the Son of God who conferred powers on his disciples to do likewise?

And further we go still..  Jesus raises Lazarus from the dead. He brings back to life the little girl who is the daughter of the Temple official and heals the  dead servant  of the Roman Centurion without even meeting him. He did so because of the faith of his foreign master.

He applies spittle to the ears that are blocked up and makes a poultice from spittle to cure blindness. The blind see and the deaf hear- not just two thousand years ago, but now to those who invoke his intercession but as Isaiah states,"Who knows the mind of God?"


A shaman indeed!

Some shaman- he who brought  the dead back to life. Which shaman has ever done that? 

The miracles of feeding the hungry?

He fed the hungry and gave sight to the blind.
