Product Description
What if Jesus were not a supernatural being conceived by a virgin, but a real human being who had experienced the awakening of consciousness known as “enlightenment” in the East? This extraordinary line-by-line commentary on some of the best-known Gospels from the New Testament tests the hypothesis that Jesus was a mystic, not a miracle worker. And convincingly makes the case that the stories of his life were never meant to be a factual record of history, but rather are teaching parables designed to provide ongoing spiritual guidance for generations to come. “I will speak on Christ, but not on Christianity. Christianity has nothing to do with Christ. Christianity is anti-Christ…just as Buddhism is anti-Buddha and Jainism anti-Mahavir. Christ has something in him, which cannot be organized. The very nature of it is rebellion and a rebellion cannot be organized. The moment you organize it, you kill it. Then the corpse remains. You can worship it, but you cannot be transformed by it. You can carry the load for centuries and centuries, but it will only burden you, it will not liberate you. That’s why, from the beginning, let it be absolutely clear: I am all for Christ, but not even a small part of me is for Christianity. If you want Christ, you have to go beyond Christianity. If you cling too much to Christianity, you will not be able to understand Christ. Christ is beyond all churches.”
