Opis

Once in a while a book comes along that has the power to change our perception of ourselves, and our world. The Wild Christ is such a book, and the time is ripe for it. If you have always felt something big was missing in life, and that there should be so much more, this story could well spin you around and bring to face to face with your own radiant freedom and beauty. The major religions of the West were developed in ancient times by men who were extremely tribal and male dominant in their outlook. The result of this exclusivity and imbalance continues to profoundly affect our world today, and contributes, perhaps more than we realize, to a milieu of fear, conflicts and war. The Wild Christ presents Christ as one who stands outside of religion, a child of the Universe and master of Life, a brother of the sun and wind, sea, animals, fish and birds, whose passionate love and wonder regarding the miracle and unity of all existence infuses all that he does. The story spans Christ's entire life and is interwoven with the humor, drama, and tragedy of his family; the passion of his relationship with Mary Magdalene; and the laughter and tears of the fishermen, whores, and outcasts who were his closest friends. He fully embraces all natural aspects of life, and through his love and innocent wonder dispels the taboos regarding our sensual bodies and sex that still plague humanity with fear, guilt and shame. Throughout the story, the old patriarchal images of God are radically challenged and a wild, divine feminine beauty that pours through the Universe is glimpsed. Perhaps humanity, with all its diversity, actually is one great Life with many faces. If this is ultimate reality, as quantum physics now proclaims, then this new vision of Christ can help wake us up into a higher awareness that can transform our hearts - and thus our world. For ultimately, this story is about each one of us, and the mystery and profound beauty that can only be found in the depths of our own radiant human/divine beings. The Wild Christ is the first book in a two book duology. The second book, The Passionate Holy, follows Mary Magdalene, Jesus' family, and closest friends through years of persecution, divisions, assassinations, and the establishment of Mary's dream in Western Asia. More then this, it reveals a profound relational harmony based on expansive, all inclusive Love, and communal sustainability for their times and ours in the midst of an often violent and destructive world. READERS FEEDBACK: I have finished The Wild Christ and from beginning to end I have been enlightened lifted and healed. This is beautiful.... Truly, truly spiritual and divine... I feel like a well of living water has been dripped slowly over every inch of my being. I don't feel ashamed any more to feel sensual & sexy... to embrace my body with a gentle laughter knowing I am loved and cherished. Donna Lindsay UK The Wild Christ has become like a catalyst for something that was long coming and preparing itself for me.... I know I will not be thinking about things in the same way as I used to ever again. Anna Morraova Australia Blake Steele has managed to write a very rich book about the life of Christ - and a page-turner... I loved the parts where sexuality and spirituality come together in such sweet innocence - beautifully described and inspiring for all of us. I simply could not put the book down.
