|
The noble idea of the Christian Kabbalah is not so much the worship of Jesus Christ, but rather a conscious evolution toward a divine or super-humanity. In this regard, Christian Kabbalah is quite different from its Jewish roots, and Gnostic Christianity is very different from orthodox Christianity. Both are about experiencing God and evolving toward God, rather than just studying theology.
This groundbreaking work is the first to present the Christian Gnosis of the Kabbalah in a practical and deeply esoteric way. It takes the reader from the basic ideas of the Kabbalah to in-depth explorations of the Tree of Life. Gnostic legends and myths of the Holy Mother, St. Lazarus, St. Mary Magdalene, and Jesus are woven into the study of the Holy Sefirot as well as commentaries on the Ten Commandments and The Beatitudes of the Sermon on the Mount. |

This book is excellent, and I would highly recommend it. It can sometimes be a little hard to follow if you are not familiar with Gnostic terminology, but it is well worth learning it for the benefits of this book.

This is one of those rare books that starts bridging the gap between seemingly different worlds.
Kabbalah (with Tantra) is probably one of the most important concepts forgotton by modern man. It is an ancient wisdom that could open so many doors to our inner selves. Gnosis of the Cosmic Christ - although a difficult read at some stages - is an important book, as it brings Kabbalah, Gnosticism and Christianity togeteher, as it should be. Highly recommended.

I was looking forward to "Gnosis of the Cosmic Christ," thinking I would be introduced to new ideas to free myself from the rigiditiy of Christianity, that is something closer to Christ's teaching, but what I got was a whole new religion with it's own strange belief system. I should have known, I guess, from the word "Kabbalah" in the title. If you're into the Kabbalah, then I give it 5 stars for you.

This book is quite remarkable. I learned a great deal about many areas of Christianity and Kabbalah that I had previously only wondered about, because a reliable source of information containing the answers I sought had eluded me for years. Even the word, Gnostic, used to cause me concern, but no longer. Whether one agree's with what is presented or not, one is never asked to sacrifice one's own belief system in order to appreciate the valuable content of Tau Malachi's book. His inspired perceptions and wisdom flow through his words on so many levels that there is truth enough for anyone, regardless of one's personal orientations and beliefs. The Names of God are respectfully addressed. Chants are suggested at appropriate intervals to guide one is whatever way they are seeking to advance spiritually. Meditations, visualizations, all in all....5 star reading!
