This book is quite remarkable. I learned a great deal about many areas of Christianity and Kabbalah that I had previously only wondered about, because a reliable source of information containing the answers I sought had eluded me for years. Even the word, Gnostic, used to cause me concern, but no longer. Whether one agree's with what is presented or not, one is never asked to sacrifice one's own belief system in order to appreciate the valuable content of Tau Malachi's book. His inspired perceptions and wisdom flow through his words on so many levels that there is truth enough for anyone, regardless of one's personal orientations and beliefs. The Names of God are respectfully addressed. Chants are suggested at appropriate intervals to guide one is whatever way they are seeking to advance spiritually. Meditations, visualizations, all in all....5 star reading!
Always looking. Always hoping. In this book, I've found the brilliant referential background to follow on after the powerful lessons, as well as powerful reading, I found in Ki Longfellow's "The Secret Magdalene." Tau Malachi's work is monumental in scope and understanding. It seems to me that with people now writing (Longfellow, Malachi, Freke & Gandy, Pagels, others of course) such inspiring new myth and new Gnosis, that we're experiencing not only a turning back to what has been hidden for so long in favor of the madness of Literalist religion, but a turning towards a new world of Consciousness that might bring us through these dark days of Bush and his insane belief that the world ends soon, and he might as well be the one to end it. (I've always thought of the Catholic Church as the antiChrist insofar as they are anti-Gnosis, which _is_ The Christ. But now I just wonder if Bush isn't our boy.) If you're looking for Christ, as He always hoped you would, look inside. Christ is in you. Gnosis is not a teaching, but an experience of Christ Consciousness. In the East, you would call it the GodHead or Buddha. It's the same experience. Reading the books I've mentioned here will get you started looking. The rest is up to you.
