Yay, I finally got time to listen to the whole thing. (A reason I like transcripts is that it's a *lot* faster to read than to listen, but I understand they do take time and effort to produce.)
I have to say I think Bev comes across very well. I get the sense she is simply reporting what she says (her responses when asked about aliens and reincarnation: 'I don't know, I don't rule it out, but I didn't personally receive any information about that' rings true to me)
I think it's quite possible that the 'Jesus' she met is the 'real' one. As in, I think Jesus of Nazareth is a real person and that he's quite active out there on the etheric internets or whatever those higher levels of thought-consciousness are made of. I think he is also increasingly active in recent decades.
People who report encountering him often talk about not just a sense of ultimate *love* but also a strong sense of *authority* - not quite fear, perhaps, but, something similar: a sense that he is not messing around and when he says 'you have a choice to alter your life for the better' he means it - change is our responsibility but just being told that we *can* change can be very intimidating. He also has a habit of *not being afraid of anything* and *not being especially attached to material possessions* and both those attitudes can be frightening (it means he walks into dark places and can take you with him to observe). If Jesus talks about the near planetary future and the need for social/spiritual change, he can also be a little scary, because our future right now *is* scary and the real Jesus doesn't always sugarcoat the things he says, although he always brings hope and not just grimness.
I think Mary, historically, also falls into this category. Marian apparitions often occur before disasters. Like Jesus, when she says to do something, *it is in your very best interests to pay attention*, because there might be a war or natural disaster about to break out and perhaps it can actually be stopped.
(Also I think there was a slight misunderstanding midway in the interview: Alex asked Bev 'how do you see Jesus relating to the darkness' and she said 'absolutely petrified of him'... I think she was not saying *she* was petrified but referring to *how dark spirits/ghosts see Jesus*, as she describes an encounter like that in her blog. Jesus has a kind of aura that scares the darkness. But... there's still a slight edge to Jesus, imo. Not that he's scary but that he's *good* and pure goodness is actually more freaky to experience than we like to think.)
On the other hand: I also think there are a bunch of spirits that, like fundamentalist preachers on the Earth plane, like to impersonate Jesus because they're on a power kick. Those ones can feel scary but don't so much have the love. One of the ways of telling the difference is: does the 'Jesus' try to control you, or give you a sense of freedom? Another is: does he point you toward others, toward compassion and forgiveness and giving, or do you feel isolated and as if everything only depends on you?
Also - and this isn't always reported but some of the Jesus encounters that to me have the highest sense of validity show this - I think the real Jesus is a pretty good *teacher*, with a real gift for expressing complex ideas very simply. (Three examples that have this quality for me: Julian of Norwich's Revelations of Divine Love; Helen Schuchman's A Course in Miracles; and Glenda Green's Love Without End.) He can describe concepts on basic or advanced levels, depending on the audience. (But the apparently 'basic' teachings can actually often be the more profound. Eg 'God is love' seems oversimplified but really isn't.)
I would love to look at Bev's book to see if any of the material she brought back connects with any of these other ancient or modern 'Jesus encounters'. Or, eg, with the Stephen material, as I'd expect Jesus' disciples to think a bit like him.
