By Leave a Comment
Alexandra-Solnado-Headshot-1

Alexandra Solnado's path as a spiritual healer began in a moment, when her daughter stopped breathing. Alexandra thought she had died. In that fleeting second, Alexandra met with something she had never encountered before to this magnitude -- powerlessness. A woman who had previously maintained maximum control over her life, Alexandra looked up to heaven and said: "I give in." Meaning, "I cannot save my daughter. I deliver this to heaven." With those words, Alexandra knew that her life had … [Read more...]

Alexandra-Solnado-Headshot-2

Alexandra Solnado, a bestselling author in Portugal, is receiving worldwide praise for her new book, The Book of Light. Like the ancient I Ching, readers come to The Book of Light with a question. They select two letters from the ancient Aramaic language used by Jesus, and the combination of the letters points the reader to a select message from Jesus, transcribed by Alexandra. On March 28, 2002, Jesus appeared to Alexandra for the first time. Jesus immediately began to dictate to Alexandra … [Read more...]

The Forbidden Jesus

By 2 Comments

"Seek not to become a Christian. Seek to become a Christ." - Gospel of Phillip Is it faith or fear that drives a Christian to believe in a one-dimensional definition of Jesus? The fundamental belief is this: Jesus was born to die for our sins. If we don't believe He is our only lord and savior, we are going to burn in hell for all eternity. Coupled with the one path to God theory (through Jesus) there is only one "Word of God," the canonical Bible. Anything outside the Bible is forbidden if … [Read more...]

No Jesus, Just Rub

By 1 Comment
boy

A coaching client told me that every night she gives her 3-year-old son Owen a massage before he goes to sleep. Then the two pray to Jesus. Eventually the boy figured out that when mom starts praying, the massage is over and it's time to go to sleep. One night as mom sat at the edge of Owen's bed, he took her hand and placed it on his tummy. He told her, "No Jesus tonight, Mom. Just rub." Owen's request may be symbolic of a dynamic you and I might employ if we truly wish to bring relief to … [Read more...]

An Easter Message: Passionately against ‘The Passion’

By 1 Comment
garin

The Passion, a gruesome, violent account of Jesus' death, is about to become the focal point of most Christian churches. Although traditional Christianity is solely focused on the belief that Jesus died for our sins, the graphic portrayal of his death is not always in the forefront. Easter ignites the fervor within all "good" Christians to remember we are sinners. Easter is the time we must remember he suffered and died in order to save our souls from eternal damnation. Christians have been … [Read more...]

The Jesus Clause: The Kingdom of God is Within

Illustration on the classic texts, The Life and Teachings of the Masters of the Far East (DeVorss & Co.)

More than 30 years ago, I cracked open volume one of a forbidden book about the life and teachings of Jesus Christ. By the time I read through volume two, my entire relationship with Jesus, the man, was changed, and my relationship with Christ, the Consciousness, began. Those five little volumes, The Life and Teachings of the Masters of the Far East, by Baird T. Spalding, written around 1900, were forbidden by the Orthodox Christian church because their content was blasphemous. Was it … [Read more...]

Reclaiming Jesus from the Christians

By 7 Comments
jesus

“All great truths begin as blasphemy” – George Bernard Shaw In 325 AD, a band of power-hungry Christians wrote into law one of the biggest lies in history: that Jesus died for our sins. Twisted into that lie was the “holy order” that all Christians must be absolved from the shame of being responsible for his gruesome and painful crucifixion or perish in the “eternal flames of hell.” An army of Christian soldiers was dispatched to destroy the sacred teachings of the mystical … [Read more...]

Jesus

An excerpt from the HarperCollins book, from part one: Seeker A horse!" the temple lad cried as he ran in panting for breath. "Quick, come and see.""Why?" I asked without looking up. I was in the middle of writing, which I did every morning. My scribbles never reached anyone outside this dim, falling-down hut, but that's of no matter."Because he's huge. Hurry, or somebody might steal him.""Before you do, you mean?"The boy was so excited that he kept … [Read more...]

A Christmas Message

By Leave a Comment

At this time of year many people remember the birth and life of Jesus. Was the world he was born into really that much different from our own? Was there not the same need for peace and stability then as now? What does Jesus's life truly represent to the world today? What if Jesus wanted his followers - and us - to reach the same unity with God that he had reached? By following the young seeker from Nazareth on his path to Christhood, I've laid out a map of enlightenment. It wasn't necessary to … [Read more...]
