Download or read book New Teachings of The Way A Study Guide for Christ Consciousness written by Penelope Genter and published by . This book was released on 2019-09-16 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the time we shared there was not a religion called Christianity. To those who I touched with my message, I was frequently known as the Teacher of Righteousness. The message of Love and Forgiveness I shared became known as "The Way" and represented not only the parables that were word pictures easily grasped by those without the sophistication of literacy, but my teachings as well. It was my intention to bring together truths from the great religions of the world and to synthesize these in a roadmap people could follow in order to find a pathway home to God. While your world may look different from the one I lived, at the core of all the teachings is the vibration of Loving awareness that shines the Light of Christ on all existenceI wish to give equal representation to my beloved partner in the process, Mary, known as the Magdalene, or the feminine expression of the Christ. It is in the balance of masculine and feminine that the whole story will be told and received. It is our intention as a couple to reflect both the masculine and feminine aspects of a truth so that it may be more readily understood and appreciated. We will be doing this in the vernacular of your times so that there will be little doubt of the meaning and the consequences of actions and reactions.That given, I suggest that you remove all judgements and allow the words of both the masculine and feminine aspects of the Christ Light to shine forth and guide you on the Homeward journey.

Download or read book Path of the Soul written by Al Florey and published by Balboa Press. This book was released on 2018-09-29 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Path of the Soul is an inspiring story of the spiritual unfoldment of Jesus as a man, a soul, and a spirit. In vivid detail, it reveals how Jesus was able to experience God as love, perform miracles, attain Christ consciousness, and ascend into the realm of pure light, wisdom, and love. Before Jesus became the way shower and messenger for the teachings of the Piscean Age, He was first and foremost a seeker of truth. Path of the Soul is a story of encouragement for all who are on a quest for universal truth and wisdom. It reveals how people progress from step to step and from one initiation to a higher initiation, regardless of their religion, nationality, ethnicity, or gender. In great detail, it explains how people can use the energies and forces streaming through the seven planes of earth to unfold, develop, and master successively higher states of mind and realization. You too can attain Christ Consciousness or buddhic Enlightenment. For you are a god-in-the-making with the potential to attain perfection and the inherent ability to serve as an agent of divine love, will, and purpose. This is the message of the way shower during these early days of the Age of Aquarius.

Download or read book Christ Consciousness written by Danielle Van Dijk and published by Temple Lodge Publishing. This book was released on 2010-04 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We live in a world characterized by intolerance, war, environmental degradation, and economic collapse. By contrast, is it possible to build a society in which tolerance, love, and peace are the abiding principles? In this positive and inspiring book, van Dijk shows how, beginning with our personal development, we can contribute to such a new and transformed world. She describes how we can develop a universal spiritual consciousness--what she calls "Christ Consciousness." The author emphasizes that the Christian mysteries took place on the physical plane, distinguishing with great clarity between Jesus as a human being, the incarnation of Christ on Earth, and the Cosmic Christ. She builds bridges between the spiritual research of Rudolf Steiner, the Nag Hammadi writings, and the gospels of Mary Magdalene and Judas, culminating in a comprehensive and wide-ranging picture of the Christ. By gaining insight into the nature of Christ's being and undertaking practical exercises described here, each of us can achieve the new Christ Consciousness. In ancient times, selected individuals underwent rites of initiation in secret mystery schools. Any student who made public the knowledge obtained there was put to death. In our time, however, the spiritual mysteries have become open and available to all. Initiation, van Dijk tells us, involves "walking the inner path to all-embracing love, which is known in Gnostic and esoteric lore as Christ, the highest divine Being," leading to sublime, cosmic-orientated consciousness that comes into existence when the higher self exists wholly within the individual human being.

Download or read book The Jesus Way Study Guide written by Eugene H. Peterson and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2007-06-11 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The third book in Eugene Peterson's momentous five-volume conversation on spiritual theology,The Jesus Way considers the "way of the Lord" that became incarnate and complete in Jesus. Arguing that the way Jesus leads and the way we follow are symbiotic, Peterson challenges the ways of the contemporary American church, showing how they often obliterate what is unique in the Jesus way. This helpful study guide is designed to enable small groups in schools or churches -- or even individuals -- to delve deeper into the timely wisdom of The Jesus Way. Peterson's discussion is broken up here into eleven "sessions," each of which contains a summary, a list of key adjectives, quotations to consider, and questions for interaction, ending with a select prayer from one of several "traveling companions on the Jesus way.".

Download or read book The Universal Christ written by Richard Rohr and published by Convergent Books. This book was released on 2019-03-05 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From one of the world’s most influential spiritual thinkers, a long-awaited book exploring what it means that Jesus was called “Christ,” and how this forgotten truth can restore hope and meaning to our lives. “Anyone who strives to put their faith into action will find encouragement and inspiration in the pages of this book.”—Melinda Gates In his decades as a globally recognized teacher, Richard Rohr has helped millions realize what is at stake in matters of faith and spirituality. Yet Rohr has never written on the most perennially talked about topic in Christianity: Jesus. Most know who Jesus was, but who was Christ? Is the word simply Jesus’s last name? Too often, Rohr writes, our understandings have been limited by culture, religious debate, and the human tendency to put ourselves at the center. Drawing on scripture, history, and spiritual practice, Rohr articulates a transformative view of Jesus Christ as a portrait of God’s constant, unfolding work in the world. “God loves things by becoming them,” he writes, and Jesus’s life was meant to declare that humanity has never been separate from God—except by its own negative choice. When we recover this fundamental truth, faith becomes less about proving Jesus was God, and more about learning to recognize the Creator’s presence all around us, and in everyone we meet. Thought-provoking, practical, and full of deep hope and vision, The Universal Christ is a landmark book from one of our most beloved spiritual writers, and an invitation to contemplate how God liberates and loves all that is.

Download or read book How to Become a Christ written by Master LaValley and published by . This book was released on 2016-04-06 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a practical, how-to book to learn to let go of limitations and come into the True Self of your being--the Christ Self. There are 100 Conversations Master LaValley had throughout the years with various Spiritual Seekers, often with startling information about what it means to be a Christ, and how to come into that level of energy. Each Conversation has Practices--one at the Beginner's Level and one at the Advanced Energy Being's Level. Doing the Practices will take you into energy levels where Oneness is clear, obvious and felt. The book has many ties to A Course In Miracles, Eastern teachings and the practices of non-duality. It is not a "study" book, however, and makes it very clear that this is about doing the Practices to learn to live in and as the Christ Consciousness on a permanent basis. Master LaValley had a Revelation of Jesus Christ. He realized that, with the help of the Christ, he could release the limitations of being human and become the Divine Self that he was in truth. Jesus told him he would show him all that He learned and all that He did to become the Christ Himself, and then to become the Oneness of God. The Conversations lay out these ideas and concepts, as well as many examples of what happens when the personal consciousness expands and lets go of the limitations it has imposed upon its Self. There is a Bibliography of Suggested Reading and a Clarification of Terms, as well as an email address for folks looking to connect with others who are reading and doing the Practices from How To Become A Christ.

The Sacred Pathways video study will help you learn: How you naturally express yourself in your relationship with God How to develop new ways of drawing near to him Key biblical figures who share your spiritual temperament How to understand others who connect with the Creator differently As believers in Christ, many of us today fall into the trap of thinking we have to approach God in a certain way.

The intended readership will be those training for ministry in English speaking churches, so the studyguide will concentrate on those aspects of this subject of most relevance to this group. This means there will be greater attention to developments in the West than in the East, especially in later centuries, and to topics such as the nature of ministry, the sacraments, places of worship, authority in the church and mission. These will be examined at each period of church history, in each chapter, to provide reference points of comparison throughout the book. Each chapter will also contain a specific case study, presenting extracts of some key documents with notes, commentary and questions for discussion, to allow readers to develop skills in historical research. General discussion questions and reading lists will be provided at the end of each chapter. The final chapter will provide guidance for the study of the history of the student’s own church and community.

Restoration Road Individual Study Guide — Volume 2 will help you learn:WEEK 1 – UNDERSTANDING WHERE WE CAME FROM Pain from the past, if not healed, will carry forward and direct how we live and view life. Dragging around excess baggage is not productive to living a healthy life. Understanding the sins of our ancestors can help us see what we are repeating from those that lived before us. WEEK 2 – GOD'S DESIGN FOR FAMILY – PART 1Understanding God's design for the family helps us to see where our family of origin went wrong and what they did right. God is both separate and belonging at the same time. While man is more separate and woman more belonging, when they come together, God is best reflected. WEEK 3 – GOD'S DESIGN FOR FAMILY – PART 2The best picture of the image of God is reflected in covenant of marriage. This week we will look at the differences between the sexes. There are primary needs created in each sex that is determined by the hormones God gave to each gender. When we learn to become emotionally healthy ourselves, we can then pick a healthy mate. WEEK 4 – GOD'S DESIGN FOR FAMILY – PART 3This week we will look more closely at the dynamic of a healthy home. Family health is not something that you discover, it is something that must be developed. We will also learn how a parent should model appropriately for the same sex child and what happens when wrong modeling happens. WEEK 5 – PATHOLOGY OF THE DYSFUNCTIONAL FAMILYLots of pathology takes place in a dysfunctional family. Attention gets focused on the emotionally needy person. Limits get placed on expression of feelings and talk about family secrets or problems is discouraged. Identifying dysfunction in your family will allow you to get more in touch with your feelings and overcome the loss of your childhood.WEEK 6 – HEALING PAINFUL MEMORIESThe passing of time doesn't mean healing will happen. In-fact a painful memory left un-dealt with can cause the pain to increase. The weight of painful memories can take a toll on you emotionally and physically. WEEK 7 – BATTLEFIELD OF THE MINDTo overcome any unwanted behavior, your greatest battle will be fought in your thinking. The mind retains its memories with the original emotions attached until rewiring takes place. The messages we decide to believe can become our core beliefs. Core beliefs are thoughts that have been so hard wired into us that we live our life by them. WEEK 8 – LIES WE BELIEVE ABOUT OURSELVESThere are some specific lies that we believe about ourselves that are common to many. Most of the emotional struggles, relationship difficulties, and spiritual setbacks are caused by the lies we tell ourselves.WEEK 9 – LIES WE BELIEVE ABOUT GODEverything in our spiritual life depends upon the sort of God we worship. If we have wrong thinking about God, we will have wrong thinking about everything else.WEEK 10 – LIES THAT COME FROM THE WORLD AROUND USMost messages we hear on a daily basis are not productive and add no value to our life. Some messages in fact are destructive.WEEK 11 – FINDING YOUR IDENTITY AND VALUEYour identity isn't in your name or in what you do. To have lasting self-worth, you must put your identity in Jesus Christ and not in other things. WEEK 12 – FORGIVENESS AND RESTITUTIONForgiveness is not for the other person, it is to bring you freedom from the weight it brings. Asking others for forgiveness and making restitution is part of God's path in restoration.

Book excerpt: Have you ever wondered what Jesus would teach today or what he would share about his life two thousand years ago?

The answers to these questions and others are here, in these pages. Jesus exists and has always existed to serve humanity, and one way he is doing this today is through this channel, Gina Lake, and others.

Too many were and still are living according to false beliefs instead of the truth. I came to earth to try to change that, to be a voice in a vast desert of misunderstandings, and I continue to be a voice for truth to the extent that I can from this dimension. I never really left you. I have never ceased being in service to humanity and your beautiful planet." -Jesus
