The True Meaning of Christ's Teaching

Rate this book
The whole of Christ’s teaching is summed up in the prayer he gave us: the Lord’s Prayer. In this book Omraam Mikhaël Aïvanhov demonstrates and explains this. ‘An Initiate,’ he says; ‘follows the methods of Nature. A tree with its roots and trunk, branches, leaves, blossoms and fruit, begins life as a minute seed but if you plant it, water it and expose it to the warmth of the sun, it becomes a tree of majestic proportions. Nature, in her own wonderful way has condensed a tree’s entire potential into one tiny seed. Jesus did the same. He took his Teaching, the new Science he was bringing mankind, and condensed it into a prayer to his Father, in the hope that this seed would take root in men’s souls, be nurtured by them and grow into its full potential: the massive fruitful tree of Initiatic Science, the true Teaching of Christ.’

This is a simple yet esoteric way of understanding the meaning of Christ's teachings. Omraam delves deep into the expressions of Jesus such as "turn the other cheek." But does that mean we roll over to our enemies and become doormats? No! Omraam uses the sun as a symbol of how we all must be-vigilant, fiery but sure and steady. God does not want us to roll over; rather to use the power of light to dispel darkness; for one does not fight an enemy on its own level. One must rise higher. He delves into the deeper meanings behind such famous quotes such as, "Father forgive them" and "Watch and Pray." When one begins to understand the depth of Initiatic Science, one understands fully the deeper meanings of Christ's teachings, and the reminder that he too experienced anger over hypocrisy, greed, phoniness and the all too familiar aspects of the brutishness and ignorance of humanity, that still apply today!

J'ai lu ce livre en roumain. Je suis tres impressionnee. M. Aivanhov est une personne tres intelligente qui a une veritable culture et de l'experience en ce qui concerne Jesu Christ et l'Evangile. J'ai beaucoup aimee ce livre, parce que je comprend mieux la volonte de Dieux.
