Why is his early life carefully airbrushed out...was there something shameful about it?

There is no mention of Christ's early years in the Bible, there is only one (now considered fake) piece later added about him being found in the temple. There are a lot of people in asylums who believe they have a mission to fulfil.

Some say He travelled to India for instruction, and even had
an initiation in a secret chamber under the Sphinx in
Egypt.

No, when He was 12, it was mentioned about Him questioning the Sanhedrin. After that, it says that He grew in stature and wisdom.
Now, being the son of a carpenter, it is safe to assume that during those times, He too learned the trade of carpentry, and didn't do much anything else remarkable.
I mean, if I was going to give an account of my life, I'd probably leave out from 5th grade to 11th grade, only resuming again mentioning my leaving high school, my marriage, the birth of my sons... and then ignoring the next decade or so, resuming again when I did something worth mentioning again... simply for the sake that those years are not spectacular, and have little relevance to who I am as a whole.

That's because what is written about Jesus was written decades after he died, if he existed at all. It wasn't a full chronology. The authors were only interested in writing the parts of the story necessary to coincide with the old prophecies. Because of this, there isn't really much we know about Jesus, including whether he really existed. The stories told borrowed from many of the legends of the time and were typical of those told in those days. Back then, people were even more superstitious than they are today. They just didn't know much about the world and much of it was spooky to them. So, someone professing to be a prophet was common in those days. Such a person wouldn't be considered crazy.

Better read your Bible again. We see Him in the temple at age
12. Between 12 and 30 He probably worked as a carpenter with
His father Joseph. He might have even taken a trip or two.
The idea that there was a mental asylum in Israel shows your ignorance of history.

First, you insult the Son of God to us and you don't expect someone to get upset and not make "personal attacks"? What do you think calling Jesus a mental patient is?
But to answer your question, it is widely believed that He spent much of His learning years at Qumran, which is next to the caves where they later found the Dead Sea Scrolls. The reasoning for this is that He used the same water baptism ritual they did (although they did it every day), and some of their manuscripts found use similar parables as He did in His teachings.

He came to fulfill a misssion, therefore His mission started when He was already 12 when He was in the temple disputing with the scribes and pharisees about the Word of God. His life was totally dedicated to the Word of God. Why dont you read the Bible and find out for yourself?

They had mental asylums back then? This is one of the reason why the bible needs needs to be studied careful. It is a true book, but many things have purposefully omitted or changed. unfortunately we have no idea what happen during his 3 year growing up period.

Poor, angry little man. The Lord will help your broken heart and lead you into a peaceful state of being if you ask him into your life. By the way, remember that you are talking to humans when you are writing your questions. Jesus is not offended by your comments. When you are Lord of all you don't have to be offended by what a mere human says or thinks. He does not want anyone to be lost though and is waiting and willing to have you come to him.

EarthAngel, what a name for a person to ask a question like that! If
you really want to know the answer about Jesus' life, Study the new Testament starting with MATTHEW,
it will tell you all about him!
I would hate to meet my maker after
asking a question like that! Even if you ask God for forgivness, you will
still be held accountable for that question!!!!
I'LL PRAY FOR YOU! God lets us know what he wants us to know!

Luke 1
39And when they had performed all things according to the law of the Lord, they returned into Galilee, to their own city Nazareth.
40And the child (Jesus) grew, and waxed strong in spirit, filled with wisdom: and the grace of God was upon him.
