<<The Bloodline of Jesus
- Does it Exist Today?
By Anders Linder, translation Lucie Minne
We live in a time of change. New circumstances put the old values on their head. To keep the balance, some people search in our past to find explanations of the events of our time and to get ideas for the future. The interest in history is constantly growing and life role plays and medieval festivals raise questions about our history and our old myths.
<Picture>have along with others only a mild interest in religion but I am curious about new ways of thinking about culture Thus it was that at the beginning of the 1980s I found myself absorbed in a book entitled 'Holy Blood Holy Grail.' The authors Michael Baigent, Richard Leigh and Harry Lincoln present in this book some ideas that, to start with, seem very peculiar. Ideas concerning, amongst others, Jesus, Mary Magdalene, the Cathars, the Knights Templar and the myth of the Holy Grail which we find in the medieval tales about King Arthur. In these tales, the Grail is described as a chalice, or as a stone, that can present unlimited amounts of food, light and power to the person who asks the right questions.
In 'Holy Blood, Holy Grail' we find the following thoughts and assumptions: The Holy Grail in French 'san greal', might well be, if we move the 'g', 'sang real', which means 'royal blood', and indicate a bloodline which originated from Jesus. The assumption is made that he was married to Mary Magdalene, who gave birth to his son. When Magdalene fled to France after the crucifixion, the child was with her. From this child a family would have emanated that brought the bloodline through the French royal family 'the Merovingians' and other families to our time. Presumably a purpose of these descendants would have been to reinstate a one of their number on the royal throne of Jerusalem, a position that Jesus himself by right should have had. This was successful in 1099 as we will see later.
Behind all this there is a secret order, most commonly known as 'Prieuré de Sion'. Their all encompassing purpose is to reinstate the dynasty of the Merovingians, decending from Jesus, onto the thrones of France and of Europe. This secret order, still active today, founded the Knights Templar and has been behind all the attempts through the centuries to bring the bloodline of Jesus to royal power in Europe. Attempts that, to a certain extent, have succeded as in the case with the royal house of Hapsburg. Through time, we find as leaders in this secret order personalities such as Leonardo da Vinci, Sandro Botticelli, Isaac Newton and Victor Hugo, to mention the most renowned. These people are not claimed to have been part of the family of Jesus. But they are said to have participated in the alternative cultural movement that had to go underground in the 13th and 14th century after the obliteration of the Cathars and the Knights Templar. As a result of this we could state that a not insignificant part of the sources of inspiration in the West would be derived from underground movements. In France during the Second World War it would form the core of the anti nazi resistance movement.
To be able to understand this alternative view of history, we need to go back to the time of the origin of Christianity and try to see with new eyes on what actually happened. (Cont.)>>
