Jesus is a synonym for mana, if you were to anthropomorphize it.
Judas and his people were a "cult" of the sacred mushroom. They knew how to find and consume it to obtain spiritual heights and revelations. Their "cult deity" or idol, was this Jesus character. Think of it similar to Hercules, every culture back then had these deities, these man-shaped "gods" (usually statues) who embodied a culture's identity and way of life.
When Judas "betrayed Jesus", he was handing over the secret of their cult - the mushrooms - to the court per their demands. That means Judas was being honest. Even so, the court must have decided this was paganism/blasphemy, and likely punished Judas for it, while making the mushroom against the law or their established religious order. That was the proverbial "death of Jesus", the taking away of the spiritual medicine (mana) and ending of their deity.
But as they say, Jesus rises from the dead. So do the mushrooms rise from the decay of organic matter. That is the majesty of mana, for it always returns to be found again, rising from the dead.
It might make more sense if you study the Mystery Schools. Kykeon was a special drink that was used by the Romans. The Romans around this time, lived during the era of Jesus.
They say there is "manna" in the Ark of the Covenant...
The same stuff they ate off the ground in the Bible when they had spiritual visions, which looked like mushrooms...
Mana is synonymous to Ambrosia and Soma. It was the old world understanding of spiritual medicine, which they exalted as "King" or "cream of the crop". Stuff so powerful, you might start believing in God.
In sweetest and most gladdening stream flow pure, O Soma, on thy way, Pressed out for Indra, for his drink.
This knowledge of spiritual medicine was world wide. In some cultures, creating and consuming it was the height of righteousness. Jesus, resembling mana, and the messiah, and Hare Krishna, and Yaweh (Jewish means Yaweh-ish or Jehova-ish) is like the accumulation of all this sacred knowledge into a single symbol, or icon. And it has happened several times over throughout history, throughout cultures. In Egypt, it was Ra. In Phoenicia, it was Ba'al. And for the Proto-Indo-Europeans (Irans/Aryans), it was Mithra. But they all had the same secret. They knew how to harness spiritual medicine and understand the mind of God. From that we got civilization and human consciousness.
There's another type of spiritual drink that is supposed to flow from your brain if you get your circuits right.
That's what Jesus was talking about: living water.
It's from meditation. Certain types.
While botanical or herbal Somas did exist and are mentioned in Vedic texts, it is clear from a detailed examination of the Vedic teachings, that the main Soma is an internal Soma, which can flow from a higher consciousness and affect the brain and nervous system, brought about through Yoga practices of pranayama, mantra and meditation. There are higher Somas beyond the body and beyond the mind.
Mana is like spiritual excitement or divine inspiration. It can be tapped by the adept any time, and is drawn from an infinite well, the place where all excitement, inspiration and creativity springs from.
Here is one take which could possibly be true.
