Product Description
Product Description
"The Aquarian Gospel" was revealed to the highly gifted spiritual and psychic medium, the Rev. Dr Levi H. Dowling (1844-1911). He was in a state of heightened spiritual awareness - a trance-like state - and the words came into his mind unbidden. His testimony has been accepted as authentic by many Christian sects. According to the Rev. Dowling, the young Jesus was keen to prepare for his great Mission and wished to learn about the ancient religions of Hinduism and Buddhism. Taking the widely-travelled Silk Route he journeyed to India and Tibet, returning via Persia, Assyria, Greece and Egypt. He underwent many trials and adventures, all vividly described in "The Aquarian Gospel". Jesus' journey has been generally accepted in Tibet, Nepal, northern India and Kashmir for over 2,000 years. There, not only does scriptural and archaeological evidence survive, but the legend is so firmly rooted in popular folk memory that it is regarded as certain fact. This volume presents those selected chapters from the much longer "Aquarian Gospel of Jesus the Christ" that describe the 'Missing Years'. It is an enthralling book and one that every serious student of modern religion or spirituality should read.

Considering Possibilities
22 Aug 2010
Format:Hardcover
Personally I found this work to be more plausible than much of what's in the New Testament. The contradictions, omissions and variations contained within the Gospels read more like listening to an old person tell a story much of which they had forgotten.
What we consider modern Christianity only came into being after the 6th century. It has been evolving ever since. The book speaks of Jesus traveling to countries such as Egypt and India. Those trips were said to be for the purpose of both teaching and personal education. The modern Christian is led to believe that pretty much Jesus stuck around his home town working as a carpenter till age 30. While I don't dispute this as possible I would think for a man like Jesus he'd be out there learning more about the human condition in various parts of the world. We are not taught that there were teachers like him in his home area. However already by the time of Jesus and long before there were sages in other parts of the world that had many of the same understandings as he..
If the new testament would have spoken about Jesus taking such trips the early fathers probably felt it would diminish his Godliness. Mingling with and learning from pagans simply wouldn't do.
Within the introduction there is a treatise on Man. What is stated there is a shared understanding by many metaphysicians. If you are not familiar with basic metaphysical thought some of the concepts no doubt will startle you. This book will introduce the reader to many things.

Top Ten of the Most Important Books of All Time!

Waited a long time to get my hands on this book, paid a lot of money for it and I was not disappointed!
From the very beginning, the first page, I knew this was life changing lessons from Higher Ground.
This is one of those few books, that should be in Every home on the planet.
