Decodes the Deepest, Most Secret Meaning in the Gospels

''The seed is the word of God'' (Luke 8:15)--or is it? For Christian mystic Pekka Ervast, orthodox religion failed to explain the real meaning of life. Then the great Russian author Leo Tolstoy gave him an esoteric view, opening new worlds. Ervast saw humans as reincarnating souls journeying through the school of this world to learn and evolve. He interprets the words of the Schoolmaster Jesus through the way of the truth-seeker, illuminating his parables, lessons, and practical advice for living honestly.

Ervast's aim is to free us from intellectual bondage so that the divine seed within can germinate and grow. Then, he says, ''We connect with the living Christ Consciousness, with God as Love, and also with others living in that Consciousness. This powerful collective touches the soul pregnant with the Holy Spirit and so gives birth to the same consciousness. Within us, Christ is born.''

''Pekka Ervast demonstrates the great emphasis Jesus as teacher placed on indepence and honesty. If as disciples of Jesus we accept any doctrines or theories, we must first understand why we accept them, and secondly we must know from our own experience what we believe in.''
-- Jordan Stratford, Gnostic priest and author of Living Gnosticism: An Ancient Way of Knowing
