Yeshua The Cosmic Mystic

The experiential and transformational teachings brought to each human being by Jesus of Nazareth transcending religious beliefs, creeds, cultures, and time. The essence of the teachings of Jesus called the Anointed One is the awakening of the spiritual depths of human beings in a way that utterly transforms their understanding of themselves and of their relationship with life. Our world desperately needs such a unifying vision and a sense of common ground among people and cultures. It is the mystic first and foremost who reveals the spiritual home that we all share and the wondrous purpose of our presence in the universe. One of the highly respected personalities in the religious world of our time, the Benedictine Monk Bede Griffith, made this radical and prophetic statement late in his life: "If Christianity cannot recover its mystical tradition and teach it, it should just fold up and go out of business." The Anointed One put it another way: "Why do you call Me, Lord, Lord and do not practice what I tell you?" (Luke 6:46)

Stunning revelations about the mysteries of creation, the soul, and God The noble idea of the Christian Kabbalah is not so much the worship of Jesus Christ, but rather a conscious evolution toward a divine or super-humanity. In this regard, Christian Kabbalah is quite different from its Jewish roots, and Gnostic Christianity is very different from orthodox Christianity. Both are about experiencing God and evolving toward God, rather than just studying theology. This groundbreaking work is the first to present the Christian Gnosis of the Kabbalah in a practical and deeply esoteric way. It takes the reader from the basic ideas of the Kabbalah to in-depth explorations of the Tree of Life. Gnostic legends and myths of the Holy Mother, St. Lazarus, St. Mary Magdalene, and Jesus are woven into the study of the Holy Sefirot as well as commentaries on the Ten Commandments and The Beatitudes of the Sermon on the Mount.

The Mystical Teachings of Jesus will illuminate the mind with a deeper understanding of the teachings of the Bible and A Course in Miracles (ACIM). The chapters in this book contain Bible verses, side-by-side with ACIM quotes, providing a dialogue of clarity, and directly answering questions from the heart, such as: “Jesus, what is my relationship to you? What is a miracle?” and, “How will the world end?”

Reinterpreting the Lord's Prayer and the Beatitudes from the vantage of Middle Eastern mysticism, Douglas–Klotz offers a radical new translation of the words of Jesus Christ that reveals a mystical, feminist, cosmic Christ.

You're beholding a new world. Aside from an array of brand new compelling facts in spiritual history, there is also an abundance of aha moments right here before your eyes and heart. Did you know, for example, the Latin word-name Jesus only became popular, about 400 years after the crucifixion of he who was truly known as Yeshua. His actual name in Israel, Palestine, Samaria, Capernaum and Jerusalem, was Yeshua. Yeshua became so famous the Greeks called him Iesous, and in Aramaic (his 2nd language) he was called Isa. When the Bible was published in Latin (in 405 AD) Jesus was used as the name for the first time, but only in written material. Through stunning archeological revelations in recently discovered 'codices and scrolls' we've realized something pivotal. As passed down through millennia, a world-transforming story was, in fact, incomplete and flawed. What if the greatest story ever told was consistently modified? Has humanity digested a poorly informed recitation of the past? Unfortunately, it has. The most crucial word in scripture was never translated to English. To this day it remains a foreign word. Bringing that key-word into English changes the whole meaning and full implication of scripture. That one foreign word fully alters Yeshua's real message. However, when it is properly translated into English, an exhilarating life-transforming message is there for us. Now you'll know what has been kept from you, and all of us, until now. Yeshua's brother, apostle Thomas, wrote a gospel conveying Yeshua's spoken quotations. It was unearthed in 1945 after World War II, in the ancient sands of Egypt; and it was held safe in an earthenware jar under the sand for near 2000 years. It is now right here in your hand. It has withstood tests of evaluation and scholarship, in many linquistic verifications. Scholars from all over are now extolling this ancient document. You'll find perhaps your heart's true desire in the pages of this book, because it has the ancient original message of Yeshua which heals and refines life today. We now have the full story, interwoven with the most advanced science of quantum physics (known as the science of God) as it reveals the nature of mind, spirit and energy. Welcome to the actual original message of Christ.

This work presents insights from a great variety of teachers from various traditions, including Gurdjieff, Durckheim and Christian mystics. It also details the author's search for meaning that led him across the continents, into an esoteric school, religious institutions, and culminated with a new synthesis of these ideas and experiences.

In this highly accessible discussion, Bart Ehrman examines the most recent textual and archaeological sources for the life of Jesus, along with the history of first-century Palestine, drawing a fascinating portrait of the man and his teachings. Ehrman shows us what historians have long known about the Gospels and the man who stands behind them. Through a careful evaluation of the New Testament (and other surviving sources, including the more recently discovered Gospels of Thomas and Peter), Ehrman proposes that Jesus can be best understood as an apocalyptic prophet--a man convinced that the world would end dramatically within the lifetime of his apostles and that a new kingdom would be created on earth. According to Ehrman, Jesus' belief in a coming apocalypse and his expectation of an utter reversal in the world's social organization not only underscores the radicalism of his teachings but also sheds light on both the appeal of his message to society's outcasts and the threat he posed to Jerusalem's established leadership.

This fascinating, non-sectarian treatment of the unknown life of Jesus is based on records preserved in the archives of ancient monasteries of the Essenes and the Rosicrucian Order. It is a full account of the birth, youth, early manhood, and later periods of Jesus' life, containing the story of his activities in the times not mentioned in the Gospel accounts. The facts relating to the immaculate conception, the birth, crucifixion, resurrection, and ascension will astound and inspire you.
