Book Review: The Mystic Christ
Summary: 5 Stars
A timely book not only for the Christian world, but for all to read, assimilate, and apply in one's daily life. Simply because, as Mr. Walker meticulously points out from his extensive research, Jesus teachings and His life was an exquisitely beautiful example of unconditional Love and Compassion fully manifested in a human form. Love and Compassion are Universal. These Truths are "Self evident" and are found in every religious and mystical texts throughout every culture from time immemorial. And as Mr. Walker clearly articulates throughout this book, its that Love and Compassion we as humanity urgently need. A mentor of mine once said: Peace on Earth will be powerful, when power on Earth will be Peaceful. Presently, as in the past, the "power" that grips this planet is the power of the Ego. In this juggernaut of a book, Mr. Walker clearly makes the case that its the Ego and its ugly, ruthless manifestations of pride, fear, greed, lust, jealously, and fundamentalist thinking, (to name a few) that we as individuals and humanity as a whole need to eliminate if we truly want to grow and evolve. As Mr. Walker's mentor, who is quoted upon throughout this book - the Holy Mother "Ammachi", is fond of saying: Come quickly darling children, you who are of the Divine Essence of OM, come grow to be adorable. Jesus taught us to be innocent as a little child. As I read this book I sensed an undeniable beauty and grace flowing from its pages and as I finished I finally understood what Jesus meant by being innocent as a child. My sincere gratitude to the author for the creation of this book. May it inspire, give hope, and heal all those fortunate enough to read and cherish and live its message of Divine Love and Compassion. Here's an idea....with the Christmas season approaching, this book could make an ideal Christmas gift.
Summary of The Mystic Christ
The Mystic Christ is an ancient tale of mystic union, salvation, and enlightenment. It is the careful uncovering of a lost treasure of immeasurable value, long buried in the suffocating darkness of conventional orthodoxy on one side, and blind fundamentalist extremism on the other. From the viewpoint of the world s mystical religious traditions, the brilliant light of the Master s way is revealed as a penetrating radical non-duality unifying all people and all of life. His path to this all-embracing unity is the spiritual practice of pure selfless love. Love God intensely, love our neighbor as our own Self, bless those that curse us, and pray for those that mistreat us. Love has been lost, becoming nothing more than a word in the dictionary and, yet, it remains the foundation of Jesus message.The Mystic Christ is also a compelling story of the ego, the personification of ignorance, and how it has distorted and subverted the sublime sayings of the Master, twisting reality into unreality and light into darkness. The ego is the Antichrist in this ancient drama that has gripped every culture for all time in its talons of self-centered perception. The ego is anti-love.
Adam and Eve were not the first people, the nature of man is good, scripture is not infallible, Jesus is one of the ways, all religions are paths to God, reincarnation is in the Bible, the resurrection as a personal spiritual awakening, and the error of eternal damnation are all carefully and lovingly revealed in the life and sayings of Jesus.
The Mystic Christ is thoroughly punctuated with quotes from Buddha, Krishna, Lao Tzu and other masters of the mystical traditions. But, most importantly, over 230 scriptural references from the Old and New Testament are used to illustrate the harmony that exists between the life and teachings of Jesus and the world s great religions.
The Mystic Christ removes 2000 years of ego-centered bindings that have hidden the brilliant light of the Master from the world. The Mystic Christ is at once profoundly fascinating, deeply historic and electric with the vibration of the mystical experience.
