Jesus Christ: The World's Most Original Beatnick Takes Spirituality To A Higher Level

Before the wild haired poetic tradition of the Elizabethan era as exemplified by Shakespeare, the romantic poetry of the enlightenment, or the surreal bohemianism of the early twentieth century; there was another long haired artist who traveled with a similar message of anti-authoritarianism and individuality. Many of his ideas have been passed down throughout the generations; often proving to be the basis for criteria in the realms of rhetorical discussion and academic debate. He often led a vagabond lifestyle seeking solace in nature, while wandering in the desert for days at a time. His practice of deep meditations, fasting, and wise sayings were highly respected in soe of the highest intellectual circles of his day; yet he often chose the company of the poor or outcasts of society in his personal associations.

Except for a few brief passages in Luke (2:41-52), there appears to be little recollection of his early childhood. (1) The missing 14 years of Jesus still remain as one of the great unsolved mysteries of all time.

After years of living in obscure annonimity, Jesus would make a sudden appearance as a young adult in front of John The Baptist, where he would be baptised, later becoming a healer, prophet, and a teacher.(2) (Mark: 1:2-28) By his mid 30's, Jesus had begun his path on a short but extroidinary career that would last briefly for one year.
