The Lost Teachings of Jesus: Finding the God Within

Summary: Lost History
Review: History or popular fiction, what should we call it. All the teachings of Christ that we see in the bible were reported by disciples who were not as intelligent and spiritual as Christ was, so they might have written what they understood and might have left out things which they couldnt comprehend. Again, the Christian religion that we have today is greatly different from what Christ might or might not have wanted it to be. The influence of the Roman Catholic church, on the religion made Catholics belive is something, this inturn made Protestants believe in something else though both the sects are based on the same preachings. So what we have now is popular belief and not FACT. So when you read this book, read with an unbiased viewpoint and you will learn more. It is said that Christ learned and close to mastered the greatest yoga which invokes the GOD in a person. Christ's teachings are similar to the teachings in the Bhagavat Gita (spiritual Hindu text which existed much before Christ) and the teachings of Gautama Buddha(existed much before Christ). And coming to reincarnation, the proof which exists in the current day world is sufficient to enhance the belief of a believer in reincarnation. But a person who does not believe in reincarnation will remain a non believer no matter how much proof is provided.

Summary: Based on dubious private revelations
Review: The claim of Jesus trip to the Far East has been repudiated by all scholars who researched the subject. The spurious claims of Soviet journalist N. Notowitch have been checked and proofed false by Max Müller from Oxford University who at the beginning was sympathetic to the idea. There is no historical or archeological data supporting the claim, only revelations from demonic spirits pretenting to be Jesus or Mary, on which this book is based.

Summary: an inspirational book, when read with an open heart and mind
Review: This book along with the entire series of lost teachings books are truly inspiring. I read this series of books several years ago. The author Mark Prophet's profound revelations and insights are humbly cloaked in many 'down home' vignettes, proving that we can all follow the path of christhood if we apply ourselves. I now have a deeper love and profound respect toward christianity, and the master Jesus, thanks to this series of books. If you are a true seeker, and you have an inkling that there is so much more to what you have been lead to believe, you cant afford to bypass a true twentieth century 'western' mystic that was Mark Prophet.
