The Wisdom Jesus: Transforming Heart and Mind-A New Perspective on Christ and His Message

A new view of Jesus as a Buddha-like wisdom teacher who taught the transformation of consciousness--includes traditional meditative practices you can do yourself

If you put aside what you think you know about Jesus and approach the Gospels as though for the first time, something remarkable happens: Jesus emerges as a teacher of the transformation of consciousness.

The Wisdom Jesus provides a new perspective on Christ and an expansive interpretation of His message. Cynthia Bourgeault creates a masterful guide to Jesus's vision and the traditional contemplative practices you can use to experience the heart of his teachings for yourself.
