Resurrecting Jesus: Embodying The Spirit Of A Revolutionary Mystic [Paperback]

For almost two millennia, the story of Jesus has shaped the lives of countless people. Yet today, even though the majority of us grew up in a culture suffused by the mythos of Jesus, many of us feel disconnected from the essence of his teachings. WithResurrecting Jesus,Adyashanti invites us to rediscover the life and words of Jesus as a direct path to the most radical of transformations: spiritual awakening.

Jesus crossed all of the boundaries that separated the people of his time because he viewed the world from the perspective of what unites us, not what divides us. InResurrecting Jesus, Adya embarks on a fascinating reconsideration of the man known as Jesus, examining his life from birth to Resurrection to reveal a timeless model of awakening and enlightened engagement with the world. Through close consideration of the archetypal figures and events of the Gospels, Adya issues a call to live the Christ in a way that is unique to each of us.

When the eternal and the human meet, writes Adya, thatswhere love is bornnot through escaping our humanity or trying to disappear into transcendence, but through finding that place where they come into union. Resurrecting Jesusis a book for realizing this union in your own life, with heart and mind wide open to the mystery inside us all.

With an all-new foreword by Episcopalian priest and scholar Cynthia Bourgeault.
