Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Strange rumors reached the ears of the people of Jerusalem and the surrounding country. It was reported that a new prophet had appeared in the valley of the lower Jordan, and in the wilderness of Northern Judea, preaching startling doctrines. His teachings resembled those of the prophets of old, and his cry of "Repent! Repent ye! for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand," awakened strange memories of the ancient teachers of the race, and caused the common people to gaze wonderingly at each other, and the ruling classes to frown and look serious, when the name of the new prophet was mentioned.The man whom the common people called a prophet, and whom the exalted ones styled an impostor, was known as John the Baptist, and dwelt in the wilderness away from the accustomed haunts of men. He was clad in the rude garments of the roaming ascetics, his rough robe of camel's skin being held around his form by a coarse girdle of leather. His diet was frugal and elemental, consisting of the edible locust of the region, together with the wild honey stored by the bees of the wilderness.In appearance John, whom men called "the Baptist," was tall, wiry, and rugged. His skin was tanned a dark brown by the winds and sun which beat upon it unheeded. His long black hair hung loosely around his shoulders, and was tossed like the mane of a lion when he spoke. His beard was rough and untrimmed. His eyes gleamed like glowing coals, and seemed to burn into the very soul of his hearers. His was the face of the religious enthusiastic with a Message for the world.This wild prophet was most strenuous, and his teachings were couched in the most vigorous words. There was no tact, policy, or persuasion in his message. He hurled his verbal thunderbolts right into his crowd, the very force and earnestness emanating from him serving to charge his words with a vitality and magnetism which dashed itself into the crowd like a spark of electricity, knocking men from off their feet, and driving the Truth into them as if by a charge of a powerful explosive. He told them that the spiritual grain was to be gathered into the garners, while the chaff was to be consumed as if by a fiery furnace; that the axe was to be laid to the root of the trees which brought not forth good fruit. Verily, the "Day of Jehovah," long promised by the prophets, was near to hand to his hearers and followers.John soon gathered to himself a following, the people flocking to him from all parts of the country, even from Galilee. His followers began to talk among themselves, asking whether indeed this man were not the long promised Masterthe Messiah for whom all Israel had waited for centuries. This talk coming to the ears of the prophet, caused him to answer the question in his discourses, saying: "There cometh one mightier than I, after me, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to stoop down and unloose; he that cometh after me is mightier than I." And thus it became gradually known to his following, and the strangers attending his meetings, that this John the Baptist, mighty preacher though he be, was but the herald of one much greater than he, who should followthat he was the forerunner of the Master, according to the Oriental imagery which pictured the forerunner of the great dignitaries, running ahead of the chariot of his master, crying aloud to all people gathered on the road that they must make way for the approaching great man, shouting constantly, "Make ye a way! make ye a way for the Lord!" And accordingly there was a new wave of excitement among John's following, which spread rapidly to the surrounding country, at this promise of the coming of the Lordthe Masterperhaps even the Messiah of the Jews. And many more came unto John, and with him waited for the Coming of the Master.

Generations of students have found the study of the Ramacharaka texts and the practice of his teachings to be a valuable step in the attainment of wisdom, awareness, and improved health of mind, body and spirit. This collector-quality edition includes the complete text of this enduring classic in a freshly edited and newly typeset edition. With a generous 6"x9" page size, this Summit Classic edition is printed on heavyweight bright white paper with a fully laminated cover featuring an original full color design. Also included is an original detailed biographical sketch discussing the life and work of the secretive author. Mystic Christianity is a comprehensive study of the influence and impact of the beliefs, concepts, principles and philosophy of ancient Judaic and eastern mysticism and the Kabbalah on the religion of Christianity. Presented in a straightforward manner in plain language, the text guides the reader through a study of the ancient mystic and occult doctrines which form the basis of much of the Christian Doctrine as presented in the New Testament of the Christian Bible. Drawing on both ancient and more modern sources, the text sheds light on many of the most confusing, mysterious and paradoxical episodes in the life, teaching, and philosophy of Jesus Christ, revealing Him not as the creator of an entirely new belief system, but as the master and teacher of an ancient system of knowledge and beliefs comprising the "Inner Teachings" previously known only to a handful of initiates. Whether as an introduction for beginners or a self-study guide for more advanced readers, the systematic, straightforward style of the work makes the often abstract and mysterious concepts accessible to all readers, as it explores the role of ancient wisdom and knowledge in the teachings of Jesus, and the later entry, through various means, of concepts which distorted and confused the original message of the Master, a message of the "oneness" of the universe, and the place of man — collectively and individually — in that universe, a universe where there are universal laws at work and universal truths at the heart of existence. Like much of the author's work, the text teaches that the discovery and understanding of these universal laws and truths can be applied to improve the life of the individual, and that humankind's growth and development is an ongoing process which should be directed at the discovery and application of these principles. But the message is also directed to each individual, for each individual is capable of understanding some part of the universal truth, and the application of that part which is within the grasp of the individual will further the mental and spiritual growth and development of that individual. This book is most emphatically NOT an overt rejection of Jesus or his teachings, or the central message of Christianity. But it strips away layers of misleading information added to that message in the ensuing years by often well-meaning disciples and believers who confused and obscured the real teachings of Jesus, teachings grounded in an ancient and mysterious wisdom.

Book excerpt: Running throughout nearly all of the teachings and messages of Jesus, is to be found the constant Mystic Message regarding the existence of the Spirit within the soul of each individual—that Something Within to which all can turn in time of pain and trouble—that Guide and Monitor which stands ever ready to counsel, advise and direct if one opens himself to the Voice. "Seek ye first the Kingdom, and all things shall be added unto you." And, again, as if to explain: "The Kingdom of Heaven is within you." This is the Mystic Message which gives one a key to the Mysteries of the Inner Teachings. There is but one real Occult Philosophy, and we find it in evidence everywhere—once the Truth is grasped, it is found to be the Master Key with which to unlock the various doors leading to the esoteric phase of any and all religions or philosophies. The Yogi Fathers, centuries and centuries ago, solved the Riddle of the Universe, and the highest efforts of the human mind since that time have but corroborated, proven and exemplified the original Truth as voiced by these Venerable Sages. Let us read the words of Jesus in the light of this Ancient Wisdom.

Book excerpt: "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."

Download or read book Yeshua Mystic Christianity and the Path to Christ Consciousness written by William Walker Atkinson and published by . This book was released on 2012-11 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Yeshua is the real name of Jesus... so what does Yeshua mean? We call Yeshua Jesus due to Greek translations and an replacement of Y with J. Yeshua is the original Hebrew name of Jesus Christ who originally taught that mystic christianity is the way to Christ Consciousness Yeshua is the more common spelling of Yehoshuah which means God is Salvation. Aramaic was the language spoken by the original Jews and Jesus the Christ was a title meaning the anointed. More importantly, Jesus taught that Christ Consciousness was a mystic path to Truth attainable by all when he stated "The Kingdom Of God Is Within You " This book, inspired by William Walker Atkinson, begs the question: "Will the REAL Jesus Please Stand Up?" Most know Jesus Christ's true name is Yeshua and no historical figure has been more studied, scrutinized and examined. Yet most of what we have learned has been told strictly through the written works of the Bible. Many Christians today take this book to be the written word of God. However, anyone who has truly studied history and the Bible know that much has been altered and misinterpreted over time through language translations and the intentional "revisions" of church priests, Caesars and councilmen with less than best intentions. This book about Jesus is an effort to tell the most accurate depiction possible from an eastern mystic point of view. Unfortunately, the Orthodox church has attempted to make sense of and elaborate on metaphysical matters they hardly understood. Some call this occultism, gnosticism or secret esoteric doctrine but the yogis state this is ancient wisdom that has always been available to the sincere Truth Seeker This work was written in an honest effort to expound on the mystical interpretation of Jesus' teachings. To remain as authentic as possible we've made an effort to present Jesus in a way that is most likely accurate to the culture and climate of his times. Firstly, we've decided to address Jesus by his Aramaic birth name of Yesoshuah in which the more common alternative spelling is Yeshua. Yeshua of course means "God is Salvation." Yeshua known as the Son of God proclaimed ""not to throw pearls before swine"" because those that don't understand and appreciate the True meaning will merely "trample" on the message. He often spoke in parable and this presentation will seek to shine the Light on the Eternal Truth of man's spiritual Being ""Many rivers... One Ocean; many branches... One Tree; many paths... One Destination; many stories... One Truth "" 1 S.O.U.L. Publishing"

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Edition perfect as a gift. "The ministry of Jesus went on in about the same channels. Wandering here and there throughout the country, preaching and teaching in this town and that village, gathering around Him new followers, Jesus continued His work. He adapted Himself to His audience, giving to each what it needed, and not making the mistake of speaking over the heads of the people. He gave the general public the broad general teachings that they required, but He reserved the Inner Teachings for the Inner Circle of His followers whom He knew to be fit to receive the same. In this He showed a deep knowledge of men, and a strict accordance with the established custom of the mystics, who never make the mistake of giving the higher spiritual mathematics to the students who are learning the addition, subtraction and division rules of the occult. He cautioned His apostles regarding this point of teaching, even going so far as warning them positively and strongly against "casting pearls before swine.""

Book excerpt: "Mystic Christianity - The Inner Teachings of the Master" is a book authored by William Walker Atkinson, a prolific writer and influential figure in the New Thought movement of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Published in 1908, this book explores the esoteric and spiritual aspects of Christianity, delving into the hidden or inner teachings attributed to Jesus Christ. Atkinson's work seeks to uncover the deeper spiritual truths embedded within the Christian tradition, drawing upon a variety of sources including biblical scripture, ancient wisdom traditions, and metaphysical principles. He presents a reinterpretation of Christian doctrine and theology from a mystical perspective, emphasizing the importance of personal spiritual experience and inner transformation. In "Mystic Christianity," Atkinson explores concepts such as the nature of God, the divinity of Christ, the power of prayer and meditation, the reality of the soul, and the eternal life of the spirit. He discusses the significance of spiritual symbolism found within the Bible and other sacred texts, interpreting them as allegories for deeper metaphysical truths. One of the central themes of the book is the idea of the "Christ consciousness" or the "divine spark" within each individual, which Atkinson suggests is the key to spiritual enlightenment and union with God. He advocates for a direct, personal relationship with the divine, emphasizing the power of love, faith, and inner illumination as the means to achieve spiritual awakening and salvation. "Mystic Christianity" is regarded as a pioneering work in the field of mystical Christianity and has influenced countless individuals seeking to reconcile their spiritual aspirations with the teachings of the Christian faith. Atkinson's synthesis of esoteric wisdom and Christian theology continues to resonate with seekers of spiritual truth and enlightenment.
