MARCUS JUNIUS BRUTUS
WHAT DOES HISTORY SAY?
Marcus Junius Brutus is most known in history for being held responsible for the assassination of Julius Caesar.
According to historical records, the father of Brutus was Marcus Junius Brutus Maior, and his mother was Servilia Caepionis. Pompeius Magnus killed his father Marcus Junius Brutus Maior. And his mother Servilia Caepionis was mistress to Julius Caesar. There is speculation that perhaps Brutus was Julius Caesar's son even though Caesar was 15 years when Brutus was born. Brutus was adopted by his uncle, Quintus Servilius Caepio.
Brutus worked in politics in Rome. He married Claudia Pulchra. A dispute between Julius Caesar and Pompeius Magnus brought Rome into civil war, and in this time Brutus sided with Pompeius, which meant that he had chosen to be against Caesar. Caesar gave orders that Brutus should be arrested if he surrendered voluntarily, but that he should be left alone and unharmed if he continued to resist capture. Brutus wrote to Caesar to apologise and Caesar forgave him. Caesar took Brutus into his inner circle and made Brutus governor of Gaul. Caesar nominated Brutus for urban praetor.
Brutus divorced his wife Claudia Pulchra without giving any other reason than that he wished to marry someone else, and this was scandalous. Brutus married his second wife, who was his first cousin, Porcia Catonis. Brutus' mother disapproved of his new marriage.
Julius Caesar was gaining too much power in Roman politics and he was making enemies within Roman politics. Brutus was one of many who resented how Julius Caesar behaved as if he was king of Rome. I have also read in other sources that Caesar was resented for behaving like a divine priest in Roman politics. Roman senators recruited Brutus into a conspiracy against Julius Caesar.
The assassination of Caesar had been planned, but Caesar may have been warned by his wife who had told him not to go to the senate. The attack on Caesar was being called off, yet Brutus chose to stay and wait for him as planned. Caesar arrived at the senate delayed and was attacked. When Caesar saw Brutus in the crowd of attackers, he is said to have covered his face in his clothes and surrendered to his death. Brutus is said to have been one of the many who were also wounded during the violent attack on Caesar. Brutus would have been wounded on his hand and legs. Caesar was stabbed to death during this attack. Brutus and the others behind the attack left Rome because of an uproar in the population. He lived in Crete for two years.
New consul of Rome, Octavian, declared those who had caused the death of Caesar as murderers and enemies of the state. At this time, Octavian was warring with Mark Antony because Mark Antony was claiming ownership of Gaul. Brutus heard that neither of Octavian and Mark Antony had an army big enough to protect Rome, so Brutus gathered his own troops of 17 legions and headed for Rome. Octavian found out and made peace with Mark Antony, Mark Antony and Octavian merged armies against Brutus. Brutus won one battle, but lost the second. Brutus fled with his last remaining four legions to the hills. Rather than be captured, Brutus committed suicide by running into his own sword held by two of his own men. Some of his last words: "By all means must we fly; not with our feet, however, but with our hands", he also spoke a curse against Mark Antony. Mark Antony paid respect to Brutus by having Brutus' dead body wrapped in Antony's most expensive purple mantle. Brutus was cremated and his ashes were sent to his mother Servilia Caepionis. His wife Porcia was reported to have committed suicide when she heard of her husband's death although there is some uncertainty if that is true, perhaps there was a letter which meant that Porcia died before Brutus did.

WHAT DID I EXPECT TO HEAR?
I decided to channel the spirit of Marcus Junius Brutus because he was a part of the interesting family history of Hortensia and Quintus Hortensius Hortalus. Hortensia and her father Hortensius speak in great length in channeling about the curse of god Mercury on their family which made them sonless. Brutus was adopted by Hortensia's husband into the family, and Hortensius told me in channeling that this was because Brutus was divine as he was with the Julius, and by adopting Brutus into his family perhaps the curse could be broken and the family could have sons. So I wanted to hear more of this from Brutus himself.
When I channeled Brutus, I knew very little about him in advance from history literature. I knew that he is the boy who is blamed in history for being the planner or responsible for the assassination of Julius Caesar, I also knew from before, that history suspects that perhaps Julius Caesar was his father outside of marriage. Only after the channeling of Brutus, have I read his Wikipedia page thoroughly and learned about the two women that he married, and about his political and military careers, and about his legendary death by suicide and his last words.
What did I expect to run into when I was about to channel Brutus? Since he is known for being an assassin of famed Julius Caesar, I could only expect to run into a man who was brave, masculine, brutal, and cruel. Someone who would idealize murder. Someone with a determined frown on his face. Strong and sturdy. Someone who must have been in military perhaps, so that he would have had experience with killing and to even think of planning an assassination of a man, Caesar. I expected him to be part of Roman upper class families, since he was supposedly son of Caesar. And I expected him to talk in length about military or about the plot against Caesar, of course. Those were my expectations.
WHAT DID THE SPIRIT OF BRUTUS SAY?
When I channeled the spirit of Marcus Junius Brutus, I found the type of boy that we all have one in our schoolyard, the one who plays alone in the corner and is afraid of the big boys who play rough sports. The one who is picked on by bigger boys and gets beaten up for being weak and gentle and quiet. Brutus told me how he could not stand to see violence, not even when he was taken by Julius Caesar to watch the fights in the arena which were played before the gods.
Brutus tells that he and his biological mother and younger brother were slaves. His biological father he thinks was the slave owner who had raped his mother. At one time, he and his brother and mother were slaves owned, and working for, an oyster fisherman in the port town of Caleppo. There, he and his younger brother were raped by this man who was the oyster fisherman.
Before Brutus began to speak to me however, I wrote my very first comments on meeting his spirit. I wrote how he came across as exceptionally handsome and sensual. He is a remarkably sexually appealing boy, an unusually attractive man. And Romans with power did not fail to notice what I too held as my first impressions of him. Brutus says he was adopted by the family of Marcus Junius Brutus Maior and Servilia Caepionis, who history think are his biological parents. Brutus was treated like a son, but he was still asked to work for the family. He had been separated from his mother and brother, whom he would never see again, though he continued to look for them throughout his entire life.
Brutus was not strong enough to join the military, so he was made to be a brick layer. But during that work he broke his ankle, which he says meant that the gods had better plans for him! He talks in length about how he was raped and bullied by Roman soldiers. One Roman soldier liked to slowly bend his fingers backward, which hurts. This was like a manhood test. Brutus was not strong or masculine enough and the Roman soldiers heckled him for that. Brutus was called a woman, and constantly raped.
Julius Caesar picked the most attractive young women and men of Rome and brought them up to the volcano to offer them to the god Zeus who was sleeping in the volcano, so that the god might be appeased and not cause earthquakes that threatened to destroy Rome. The women and men were dressed in white and were lined up, men and women separately, and the god could choose whomever he likes. Brutus was one of these most handsome young men whom Caesar had selected for the god of the volcano. The earthquakes stopped, and Brutus was seen as the reason. Brutus was then called "the son of Jupiter".
Brutus tells of how Caesar took him into his home and had sex with Brutus. Brutus detested being raped by Caesar and by Roman soldiers, he resented Caesar. Brutus dreamt of finding a wife and having a son of his own. Brutus ran away from Caesar twice, but was brought back. He had wanted to return to his mother, but never saw her again. Caesar made Brutus serve wine again since he had tried to escape, Caesar insisted that Brutus stayed since he was chosen by the god of the volcano, but perhaps also since Caesar held him as his lover.
Brutus had some influence and esteem now that he was chosen by Jupiter. He had the Roman soldiers who had raped him, exiled and sent away on ships without being allowed to take their families with them. But, Brutus was not a violent person, so he did not punish them worse than that.
Throughout the channeling I saw Brutus clearly. Two distinguishing features of his face are his gentle eyes, and that the upper parts of his ears are folded outward. I had only seen this image which I have copied on this page. After the channeling I looked carefully on other busts of Brutus, and saw that in all of them he has those same gentle eyes, and indeed the ears that fold outward on only the top parts of the ears.
This unique feature that the top of his ears fold outward can not be seen on this one picture I had seen of him, and I had to look at other busts of him that are photographed from other angles, to see that indeed his ears do that. Brutus is the first and only person I have seen whose ears fold outward only on the top of the ears. I was myself born with ears that stand out a lot from the head, in fact when I was 18 and could sign my own papers I had a cosmetic surgery to have my ears "pinned" backward against the head to remedy this. My ears stood out but the entire ears did, and I have never seen, nor could I have expected to see, any person whose ears fold outward only on the top of the ears. Yet that is precisely what I describe over and over again in the channeling of Brutus, of his appearance. And it turned out to be true, but as you can see when you inspect this one picture (on this page) that I had seen of Brutus prior to channeling him, this is not evident on this picture of Brutus' ears.
Most of the channelings I make with Ancient Romans, agree rather well with what history thinks of them. Marcus Junius Brutus is the one that deviates the most from historical records. Brutus himself tells me that they could not write into the records that he was a slave, because that would not have honored the gods, especially since he had been chosen by the gods. When I channeled Julius Caesar to ask him about Brutus, he gives me the same story as Brutus did, about Brutus, and Caesar says about Brutus being adopted by Servilia and then by Servilius, that pretty boys were always passed around.
Is my channeling of Brutus real? Could Brutus have been a slave, a boy who was so handsome that the fine families of Rome could not resist taking him in, and was he even kept as a lover by Julius Caesar? Was Brutus part of Julius Caesar's religious cult? Within the next few days, you will be able to read the channeled conversation with Marcus Junius Brutus and see what you think. This text will strictly only be allowed for adults to read, it is severely pornographic and brutal and also tragic. I cried when I listened to Brutus, by the way he insists that I call him Junius, and I will never forget the sound of his voice when he laughed, because there was such pain in his laughter. I cry if I only think of him.
COMMENT
An interesting comment from the channeling of the spirit of Marcus Junius Brutus. Whenever I channel men of important Roman families, such as Lucius Cornelius Sulla, Julius Caesar, or Quintus Hortensius Hortalus, they are calling me a "harbor slut" and yell at me and ask me who my father was or if my father was important. But when I channel Pompeius Magnus, who by the way claims to come from a family of miners (I think he means that they were slaves, but he won't use that word about his own family), Pompeius was not brought up like that and he displays a great respect toward women. I note here that Marcus Junius Brutus does not talk to me as if he were a Roman noble man, he speaks respectfully to me much like Pompeius does. I am able to have long conversations with Brutus without him interrupting me with calling me "harbor slut", like the Roman noble men do. This also makes me suspect that probably Brutus did belong to a, let's say "humble" family and not Roman upper elite.
