The Secret Knowledge of Jesus

Sometimes what we already know is the greatest obstacle to learning. Christian spirituality is a perfect example of this. The gospels do not just tell the story of Jesus. They are masterful works designed to be read on many levels. Perhaps, the most important level is what St. Paul called the "spiritual." Hidden in plain sight within the gospels and other early Christian writings are clear instructions for attaining spiritual power. The Secret Knowledge of Jesus by Andreas lifts the veil from our eyes by approaching Jesus' teachings from a new and different perspective. This perspective, however, is only new and different to us, because we have disregarded the practical aspects of our tradition, transmitted through the apostles as secret knowledge. The secret knowledge, known as gnosis to the ancient Christians, was the real emphasis of Jesus' teachings, reserved for those who could understand it. Now, it is available to those who practice.
