Guest guest Posted March 19, 2007 Report Share Posted March 19, 2007 I will briefly tell of some of the ideas that have been discussed in the Esoteric Christianity course. The course here is two weeks. The first week was Esoteric Christianity: The hidden wisdom of the Bible: explores hidden meanings and mysteries of the Bible, reveals Christianity's esoteric emphasis on the awakening the spirit within, as well as ancient origins of this hidden wisdom. Explores esoteric Christianity's inner practices to build mystical awareness. There was an introduction to the old testament and we discussed some of the exoteric and esoteric meanings. We discussed some contemporary approaches and also false concepts (ex.The Left Behind series). We also got into the water and fire mysteries and how being conscious of the different energies throughout the year can enhance our lives. The dean, Carol E. Parrish-Hara, taught many, but not all the sections. The week ended with the four fold mystery of Christ. If you are at all interested in any one piece, I could do my best to explain in more depth what was discussed. The second week is esoteric Christianity: mystical path of transformation:examines mystieries of Christinaity for a deeper understanding of the Self- within. We learn to see the life of Jesus Christ as the pattern of initiation that we each seek to follow. Explores new information concerning early Christianity, especially concepts regarding the development of the Christ Within-the Hope of Glory. Some of the sections include introduction to Gnostics, Sitchin's research, step of initiation, sacraments, ChristoSophia, The Mysteries of the Rosary, and an emerging new world view. As you can tell, there is a ton of material covered in the two weeks. It has certainly been a fascinating journey thus far! I was raised catholic and knew as a child that there had to be more to it than what I was being told. I feel like this class can helped to explore some of that " more " . The website for the school is www.sanctasophia.org if you want to give it a look. *Lots Of Vital Energy* Jessica , " sarceto " <sarceto wrote: > > It is amazing how we do leaps forward and we don't even realize it > until someone else mention it to us. > I must say your post intrigued me Jessica and would love to hear more > about the teachings (if and when you have time) > > Light,Love and Power > A. > > > , " Jessica " > <jdehne88@> wrote: > > > > It has been some time since my last post.

Guest guest Posted March 19, 2007 Report Share Posted March 19, 2007 Dear Jessica, thank you for your time. To keep the list happy I am only tempted to ask you more on the following: " The hidden wisdom of the Bible:explores hidden meanings and mysteries of the Bible, reveals Christianity's esoteric emphasis on the awakening the spirit within,as well as ancient origins of this hidden wisdom. " Especially " the awakening the spirit within " . The rest is even more interesting but I am not sure if the list's purpose will be matched with it Thank you Jessica!
