Son of Man: The Mystical Path to Christ

Description

Son of Man is a celebration of the mystical Christ & a practical guide to contacting Christ & experiencing what Paul called "the glorious liberty of the children of God." Andrew Harvey has been called one of the true prophets & mystics of our time. In Son of Man, hi new book, he begins by explaining that Christ came to help release humanity from all bonds of false authority & to reveal to people their own divine identity, thereby awakening all to the freedom, dignity & joy within them. He then presents an anthology of texts that have shaped his radical vision of Christ-consciousness: the Gospels, recently discovered Gnostic gospels, & the writings of Macarius the Great, St John of the Cross, Rimbaud, Oscar Wilde, Dostoyevsky, Emily Dickinson etc. In the final section, he offers transformative ways of realizing the power of Christ. These practices are drawn from early Christian traditions of mantra, medieval mystic devotions, the vision of prayer of Teresa of Avila & from his own experiences of the meditation & visualization practices of Hinduism, Sufism & Tibetan Buddhism. A beautiful volume of text & photos, Son of Man will help us enter into a union with Christ as he becomes the "source & principle of divine life" (Th Merton) within us. ISBN:9780874779127
