The claim at the center of this film is that Jesus survived his early years by training in India, where he learned meditation and the doctrine of reincarnation before eventually returning there to die. The film builds its case around the Gospel of Thomas, arguing that its sayings encode esoteric teachings lifted from the Vedas rather than originating in a purely Jewish or Greco-Roman context. Historical claims and anecdotal accounts are laid out side by side to support the India connection, treating the Gospel of Thomas as physical evidence of a hidden transmission between Eastern and Western religious thought. The film is the second installment in a trilogy on science and consciousness, following on from an earlier film and continuing its argument that Christianity's origins are entangled with older Eastern practices. Viewers looking for a conventional account of early Christianity will find this arguing the opposite: that its founding figure was shaped as much by Indian philosophy as by anything in Judea.
