The Third Jesus

Tue, 27 May 2008 06:47:08 -0400

Book Title:
The Third Jesus: The Christ We Cannot Ignore

Author Last Name:
Chopra

Author First Name:
Deepak

Publisher:
Harmony Books

Year Published:
2008

ISBN:
9780307338310

Book Review:

In The Third Jesus: The Christ We Cannot Ignore, spiritual author and teacher, Deepak Chopra, sets forth an evocative notion that in addition to the “historical” Jesus and “the one appropriated by Christianity,” there is a third Jesus, “who taught his followers how to reach God-consciousness.” This focus on Consciousness will likely be a new way for Christians to think about Jesus, and Chopra provides a wonderful context for thinking about Jesus in a new light. Chopra explores Jesus’s vision for human existence via eight areas, including nature, society, relationships, psychology, emotions, behavior, biology, and metaphysics, and contrasts it with how the reality of existence in these areas was actually experienced.

Even after a century in which over 100 million people have died from it, why does society turn to war as a viable way to resolve conflict?

Year Published:

ISBN:
0712606580

Book Review:

An expert on Western Buddhism, author Jack Kornfield makes a surprising statement: Enlightenment does exist. However, while it is possible to awaken to a state of timeless grace—and he maintains that these experiences are more common than one might think—they do not last. While transformative, these spiritual realizations pass in the light of everyday living—for after the honeymoon follows the marriage.

The Silent Pulse

Book Title:
The Silent Pulse

Author Last Name:
Leonard

Author First Name:
George

Publisher:
EP Dutton

Year Published:
1978

ISBN:
0525481990

Book Review:

George Leonard was ahead of his time. Applying the principles of quantum physics, he was early to suggest a connection between consciousness and the environment, extending each of us to all of the particles in the universe. The Silent Pulse’s central premise is each of us has an individual identity expressed as a distinctive inner pulse, which comes into rhythm with each other and the rest of the universe. When all is right with the world, we’re in the zone—we realize a perfect rhythm when we’re in synch with nature and our experience. While familiar to many, these themes were quite new in the late 70’s. Leonard’s rhythm premise shows up in Malcolm Gladwell’s book The Tipping Point, published in 2000, in which super salesmen and even you and I can learn to engage in a physiological harmony of even the smallest micro movements. Think of it as synchronicity, and Leonard was in synch with quantum physics, intention, and remote viewing before anyone else. In The Silent Pulse, you’ll learn:

The World’s Religions

The World’s Religions: Our Great Wisdom Traditions

Smith

Huston

Publisher:
HarperSanFrancisco

Year Published:

ISBN:
0062508113

Book Review:

Required reading in introductory religion classes for decades, Huston Smith’s well written The World’s Religions goes beyond descriptions of seven major religions and reveals the wisdom behind them. Smith sees all the religions revealed by the same god over time, connected, yet different as appropriate for that time in human history. A personal achievement was the inclusion of an eighth category of religion: The Primal Religions, since it was through personal study that he came to see native religions as valid counterparts to the other seven religions; Smith’s own teachers were dismissive of anything but the seven main religions. In The World’s Religions, you’ll learn:

Sacred Contracts

Book Title:
Sacred Contracts: Awakening Your Divine Potential

Author Last Name:
Myss

Author First Name:
Caroline

Publisher:
Harmony Books

Year Published:
2002

ISBN:
0517703920

Book Review:

In Sacred Contracts, Caroline Myss, a medical intuitive (one who uses intuition to diagnose illness and its potential source), provides a visionary and practical tool for self-discovery and spiritual growth. Through years of intuitive readings, Myss has found individuals often don’t understand their purpose in life. This lack of understanding has led to a spiritual malaise of epidemic proportions—a metaphysical disease (the cause being of nonphysical, subtle origins), which leads, in turn, to depression, anxiety, fatigue, and eventually physical illness. Through a new theory of archetypes, Myss builds on the works of Jung, Plato, and contemporary thinkers. Sacred Contracts presents a unique process of self-discovery and spiritual archaeology, which will help you connect to your Divine purpose. Through this brilliant work of spiritual wisdom, you’ll:

The Four Agreements

Author Last Name:
Miguel Ruiz

Author First Name:
Don

Publisher:
Amber-Allen Publishing

Year Published:
1997

ISBN:
1878424319

Book Review:

This is one of those rare books that is destined to be a perennial best-seller. In The Four Agreements, Don Miguel Ruiz reveals the source of self-limiting agreements that rob people of joy and create needless suffering. Based on ancient Toltec wisdom (the ancient wisdom tradition of Mexico and a way of life based on the unity of science and spirit), this extraordinary book offers a powerful code of conduct that can rapidly transform anyone’s life to a new experience of freedom, true happiness, and love. These agreements are deceptively simple: Be impeccable with your word (speak with integrity; say only what you mean); Don’t take anything personally (nothing others do is because of you); Don’t make assumptions (find the courage to ask questions and express what you really want); Always do your best (and you will avoid self-judgment, self-abuse, and regret). A brilliant recipe for living with freedom.

Book Review:

What we once believed of our past is about to change. Beyond any reasonable doubt, we each share the ancient name of God in our bodies in the most intimate way imaginable. What would it mean to discover an ancient language—a literal message—hidden within the DNA of life itself? A coded message has been found within the molecules of life, deep within the DNA in each cell of our bodies. Through a remarkable discovery linking Biblical alphabets to our genetic code, the “language of life” may now be read as the ancient letters of a timeless message. Regardless of race, religion, heritage, or lifestyle, the message is the same in each cell of every woman, child, and man, past and present.

Power vs. Force: The Hidden Determinants of Human Behavior

Author Last Name:
R. Hawkins

Publisher:

Year Published:
2002

ISBN:
1561709336

Book Review:

The culmination of twenty years' research, Power vs. Force details how anyone may resolve the most crucial of all human dilemmas: how to instantly determine the truth or falsehood of any statement or supposed fact. Dr. David Hawkins, who worked as a “healing psychiatrist” during his long and distinguished career, uses theoretical concepts from particle physics, nonlinear dynamics, and chaos theory to support his study of human behavior. He brilliantly describes and demonstrates kinesiological calibration as a tool for assessing value and motive, revealing the hidden determinants of human behavior—and establishing a Map of Consciousness that illuminates the spiritual ladder we must follow as a race and as individuals. This astonishing book is also a fascinating narrative of the author's own journey from atheism to spiritual enlightenment.
