Resurrecting Jesus

Embodying the Spirit of a Revolutionary Mystic

By: Adyashanti, Cynthia Bourgeault

Narrated by: Adyashanti

The life of Jesus offers each one of us a map to the direct realization of our eternal and divine nature. On Resurrecting Jesus, Adyashanti excavates the deep, mythic underpinnings of the Gospels to show how we can all find in the story of Jesus the spark for our own spiritual unfolding. Jesus crossed all of the boundary lines that separated the people of his time because he viewed the world from the perspective of what unites us, not what divides us. In these intimate sessions, Adya invites us to consider the man known as Jesus as a model of enlightened engagement with the world. He examines the story of Jesus from his birth to the Resurrection to reveal how the central events in Jesus' life parallel the stages of spiritual awakening that we may be called to experience ourselves. Adya concludes by illuminating five central archetypes of the Jesus story - Peter, John, Mary Magdalene, Judas, and Pontius Pilate - and the key insights they hold about the way we might relate to the spiritual impulse within. "Jesus symbolizes the spiritual mystery of each one of us," explains Adya, "and points us toward the radiance available right now - the grace through which we realize that we are each sons and daughters of a living God." Resurrecting Jesus will inspire you to pour yourself fully into "the transmission of infinite love" that he represents - to discover how that love revolutionizes our lives and our world.

Excellent. Great coverage with zen balance.

Great depth of coverage and balance with zen perspective. Really great interpretation with emphasis on spirituality and mythology /archetypes without religion specific dogma or elitist exclusionism. Home run! Really went to the core of the teachings n makes them accessible to all. Will listen repeatedly for deeper absorption. He gets it.

Breath of fresh air

Brings a life to Christ that is often missing in mainstream Christianity.
If you've become disenchanted with the church and it's presentation of the life of Christ, then this is a must read or listen.

It's an enlightening book in its it's real sense.

Made me understand religion a lot better. Made me see the deeper purpose of religion, beyond the moral moderation of the ego, to the actual transmission of the deepest truth. Made me get in touch with the Jesus inside me, which is that place of peace, stillness and serenity, in the midst of outer or even inner turbulence. Made me realize that I can be at peace regardless of anything, just like Jesus was at deep peace, love and serenity even in the midst of the pain he felt on the cross, and the hate from his fellow humans. A book worth reading/listening.

Amazing

Hearing Adyashanti share his perspective on the teachings/sayings of Jesus invoked a heartfelt response within me.

"The kingdom of heaven is spread upon the earth, but men do not see it"...

" the seeker should seek until he finds. When he finds, he will be disturbed..."

I believe that when you listen to this book, true wisdom will resonate in your mind and heart from millennia ago.

Thank you, Adya, for carrying the torch as you have. It has made a significant difference to me. The possibilities in life seem to multiply day by day.
