Jesus was following earlier traditions

Jesus first name Etymology

Jason (Ιασων), from ιαομαι the verb.
Take the Ionian form of that verb, ιηομαι, make it Aorist or future tense, and you have the ιησ- root.

Ιησούς can certainly be explained by this etymology.
The verb is "to heal"

The mystery is a performance. There are titles to uphold. Ιασων gets christed just like our χριστος.
Embodying the drug itself

• see also Jesus first name comes from Iaso goddess of Healing

Christ was a title, not a last name

Just like "Bob the Builder" is a character that builds things, Jesus is a character who "Christs" (it's a term similar to anoint, but much much older going back to 800BCE Homeric writings. Christ is the original term while anoint was a theological reframing during/after the GNT writers. To contrast: to "Christ" is rooted in pharmakon reality - to apply visionary salves, while the later "anoint" is more supernatural / ceremonial.

We use "christ" instead of anoint, since it's more accurate, and reminds us of the context Jesus was operating in, and the long history of christers before him.

• see Jesus - Last Name comes from a medical term for applying visionary drug salves
• see long history of christers before Jesus

Jesus appears to be performing his own christing rituals using similar mechanics to those who came before. [pull references needed here]

Jason Jesus Mary Medea

Seemingly

• Jesus == Joshua == Jason
• Mary == Maria == Media

Upholding the Jason and Media pairing, and title structure.

The Magi funded his education

JEsus's mother Mary was a temple priestess. Her abortifaceant drugs supplied by the temple failed, and this parthenos (virgin) became pregnant. The priesthood support their own, and the Magi brought 3 gifts to the new born baby: Frankenscense, Mhyrr, and Gold.

The first two were for fumigation purposes, and the Gold was for education.

The purple merchant seems to be involved

Paul knew Lydia the murex purple dye merchant.

We know the purple was involved in the much earlier Oracular / Echidnaic rites as one of the components in the compound drugs used to move the Initiate's mind to the right place.

Jesus's group seems to be also using the same drugs as earlier traditions.

• see Lydia

Evidence of competition with earlier priesthood

John the Baptist was killed by the Echidna Priesthood (head cut off) for practicing the rites [reference needed]. While destroying their sacred groves, clearly moving to erase previous traditions to gain power & influence.

Stealing like a Lestes

Jesus was defensive when arrested in Garden of Gethsemenie saying "why are you coming at me like Im a Lestes?", and then hung between 2 Lestes.

This was said right after a gumnos neaniskos (naked youth) is seen running away, leaving his sindon (medical grade linen bandage) behind, as the guards close in on Jesus.

We know from a few sources what a Lestes is:

• see an entire book on Lestes
• Julius Caesar was kidnapped by traffickers, and his punishment for the traffickers was Crucifixion. Crucifixion appears to be reserved for the worst criminals, those who kidnap people or children.
• see Lestes - more general breakdown on the term
