Was he the son of God? I've gradually come to believe that he wasn't someone who truthfully claimed any kind of exclusivity for himself whatsoever, and in fact actually told people not to worship him. He wanted to help people develop and reach their own potential, and I believe he also expressed that any time someone takes any other master, it slows down their own development.
Absolutely. I believe Jesus was a man, who through his own spiritual practices was able to attain a very high spiritual level, 'almost' G-d like, but not absolutely G-d like. Working of miracles, which I believe were more ikely working of energies (casting out 'devils', healing lepers, imo. were actually him working with energies and casting the energies by assigning them as demons. I also believe he was a great occultist, in fact, I believe that he was perhaps one of the most most high level practitioner of magick, in the world, possibly ever.
In all, he was good man, with a very good set of morals and ethics, who was able to attain a very high spiritual level, and wanted to help people out without any selfishness. good man in general. Although as a Jew I do not believe he was the messiah per 'say, but a good man in general.
