Another great Atkinson work that explains so much that you must know about early Christianity and Jesus. You can find the best edition here: https://www.amazon.com/Mystic-Christi...

William Atkinson è uno degli esponenti più interessanti della Teosofia, un movimento filosofico e spirituale di fine ‘800. Avvocato, ricercatore, grande studioso della filosofia orientale e delle pratiche esoteriche connesse.
Il suo pseudonimo più famoso fu Yogi Ramacharaka che utilizzò dal 1900 al 1912 per pubblicare testi sul pensiero e le scienze orientali ancora oggi di grande attualità e importanza.
Cristianesimo Mistico è forse una delle sue opere più importanti e porta uno sguardo “nuovo” sulla vita e l’insegnamento di Gesù.
Non è un libro sulla religione, poiché la religione è nata dopo di lui, ma è un libro sulla spiritualità dei suoi insegnamenti che vengono riletti alla luce delle antiche conoscenze rimaste “occulte”, ovvero disponibili solo a pochi iniziati.
Il grande valore della Teosofia è stato proprio questo, rendere disponibili a tutti gli "studiosi dello Spirito" questi antichi insegnamenti per avere delle chiavi di lettura che portano ad una comprensione nuova e più profonda.
Yogi Ramacharaka è un autore di grande spessore e conduce con delicatezza in profondità.
In questo testo guida il lettore all’interno dell’aspetto esoterico del cristianesimo, con tante citazioni e rimandi anche al cristianesimo delle origini.
Un testo bellissimo da leggere e meditare con calma.

A decent book. nothing new here though makes references to "the unknown life of Christ" and other books about ST Issa in India aka Jesus the Nazarene . i was hoping for more insight into the hidden mysteries of christinaity but its only tid bits and crumbs , which is good. the point of gnosis is for you to do the work. anyway for example in the chapter "the secret doctrine" he quotes early church fathers about the hidden christian Gnostic mysteries than says we go into this more in our book advanced course in yogi philosophy and 14 lessons in yogi philosophy etc. it seems yogi ramacharaka peppered the hidden knowledge in all his works its up to the reader to put the pieces together like a jig saw puzzle. i would recommend buying his complete works to get a full picture. i just bought most of ramacharaka/Atkinson work ( Atkinson met and worked with ramacharkas student Baba Bharata and they both wrote under ramacharaka's name in honor of him and to distribute his wisdom) And i plan to read them all to get a complete picture. there is a whole slew of works on Jesus in India some from the late 1880s to modem writers still publishing books about it. I suggest you look more into it this work peaks your interest

While I disagree with a lot of the theology (most of it), the spirit of this book holds strong throughout religion and should be considered. By this, I mean the desire to be Christ Like and not legalistic. I am Roman Catholic, and I he speaks out against the legalistic traditions of orthodox Christianity. The lesson I took away from this book is to go beyond the legalism, the rules, and develop the desire for Christ. If you're strong in your Faith and not threatened by some "bad" theology, ironically enough this book will bring you closer to Christ and a better understanding of living a Catholic life.

Not for the faint of heart. It really helps to have a good working knowledge of Bible history and church doctrine. Yogi Ramacharaka asserts that by ignoring the mystical teachings of the Orient, todays Christians are missing out on the true essence of the teachings of Jesus. An interesting read, but come with an open mind.

Good Theosophy can put such an interesting, agreeable spin on Christianity. It almost makes me want to be a Christian.

I thought this book would have some supporting documentation. Nope. Just someone brainstorming tangent thoughts. I gave up finishing the book.

This book was certainly entertaining. I dived into it after downloading for free on Amazon. It was interesting to read a different interpretation of Jesus life than I have read before.

However, I finally stopped at the point where the author begins talking about reincarnation. I have read enough of the Bible to know there is nothing that resembles a teaching of reincarnation in it, and I wanted to find out more about the author and the mysterious source material in the Dead Sea Scrolls he frequently cites. I didn’t find anything. At that point I lost the desire to continue further. There is too much literature out there by other authors who at least try to back up their claims for religion, for me to spend time reading some flight of fancy.

"The God within you is like the fabled Hindu god who descended into the body of a pig and then forgot Himself. It is to bring you to a realization that you are a god and not a pig, that Jesus, the Master, is working within your soul as the Christ Principle.

Have you never heard His voice, crying from within your soul, 'Come out—come out of your pig-nature and realize the god that you verily are!' It is this 'recognition, realization and manifestation of the god within you' that constitutes 'salvation' and 'redemption.'"

Life altering book for sure.

Disappointed

I have studied mysticism for many years and I find this book to be vague and in many cases the author misses the true insight of Jesus's teaching or could have elaborated in much more detail.

Wonderful read

These gems come when you're ready and open to the message. If you find yourself called to read this book be ready to have prior knowledge confirmed and your soul touched and ready to dive deeper into understanding 'SELF' peace and blessings

[Christopher Miller · Rating 4 out of 5]

Seems like I left this book from a past life to be read in the present. Much of it is echoed in my own manuscript "The Star of Bethlehem". Well worth a read, if you want to see how Universal Jesus' life and teaching were/are.

[William Sanderson · Rating 5 out of 5]

I highly recommend this book to those who seek the path to understand the unedited teachings of Jesus, the early Church and what St Clement, Origen, Plato, etc. were talking about.

Profound.

Interesting takes on scripture. I found it interesting but it also seemed to restate itself like many books of theology do.

DNF. Garbage.

Grāmata ir ļoti laba. Pieļauju domu, ka nedaudz ķecerīga attiecībā pret baznīcu tādu, kāda tā bija viduslaikos un vēl ir mūsdienās, bet sarakstīts ļoti patiesi.
Jābrīdina, ka ir jādomā līdzi, jo ir lietas, kurām nevajadzētu akli ticēt, taču padomāt par tām vajag :)

I am in awe of this book. It explains questions I have had for a long time in a straightforward and matter-of-fact way. It is called Mystic Christianity, which probably deters people. I thoroughly enjoyed this. Get it free on Kindle!

This book is blowing my mind... maybe I am finally starting to understand Jesus???

Written in 1908, it is available as a FREE download from Kindle........
