Audio Book Description:
Who is Jesus Christ? In TheThird Jesus, bestselling author and spiritual Deepak Chopra provides an answer to thisquestion that is both a challange tocurrent systems of belief and afresh perspective on what Jesus can teach us all, regardlessof our religious background. There is not one Jesus,Copra explains, but three. First, there is the historical Jesus,the man who lived more than two thousandyears ago and whose teachings are thefoundation of Christian theology and thought. Next there is Jesus the Son of God, who has come to embody an institutional religion with specificdogma, a preisthood, and devout believers. And finally,there is the third Jesus, the cosmic Jesus, the spiritual guide whose teaching embracesall humanity, not just the church built in his name. He speaks to the individualwho wants to find God as a personal experience. When we take Jesus literally, we are faced with the impossible. How can we truely "love thy neighbor as thyself?" But when we see the exhortations ofJesus as invitations to join him on a higher spiritual plane,his words suddenly make more sense. In this way Jesus can be seen for the univeralteacher he truely is - someone whose teachings can embrace and be embraced byall of us.
