Book name:

Nine Faces of Christ: Quest of the True Initiate by Eugene Whitworth

 

 

This is a customer review:

 

This is a fascinating book for anyone who is an earnest seeker of enlightenment

and has a fascination with Jesus Christ but is not into fundamentalist christian

ideas and instead views Christ as a great spiritual master whose true teachings

only come to us in fragments through the New Testament.

 

The main character of our story is one Jeshua Joseph-bar-Joseph. The author

takes us through a story that pretty much unfolds exactly the way it does in the

New Testament gospels, however in this version the author has put a lot of

emphasis on the back story of how Jeshua has become a Christ. It isn't just a

man born a " divine perfected being " , Jeshua has to earn his Christhood through

much training and many, many challenges. We get to see HOW he came upon all this

great wisdom and ability.

 

We get to see all the great trials Jeshua went through before he went out to

deliver his message to the masses. Basically, we get to see a kind of Christ

training process. One great thing is we see Jeshua challenged all along the way.

Even after he has achieved great heights of exalted consciousness, he still

continues to grow and be challenged.

 

It has a very human quality to it that we can all identify with. It's not just

" one day while praying he saw the Light and from then on he was the perfected

Christ " . No, this book has Jeshua really challenged at times while in the

process. His core is always very strong and resiliant, but in this story we are

shown some " growing pains " . Enough to make this story quite inspirational

because of how we all can identify with Jeshua trials and tribulations, how we

all need to stay focused on staying strong during those challenging times that

bring us those break-throughs,it is a story that resonates with our own process

of growth. It makes one realize that Enlightenment is more than just having

blissful meditations.

 

Christ consciousness only comes from really pushing past your comfort zones

spiritually! So many things in the New Testament make so much more sense after

reading this or at least can be viewed in a new light.......One of the most

interesting books I've ever read of the " New Age " Christ works.
