The Secret
Doctrines of Jesus
W
ritten after years of travel and research
during the 1920’s and 1930’s by a past Imperator of AMORC,
this book fearlessly discloses what the author believes to be the true
esoteric teachings of the master Jesus.
With a wealth of information provided by decades of analysis
of the Dead Sea Scrolls writings, it is clear that the teachings of Jesus
were not fully portrayed in the gospels. There is for example, very little
evidence of where this great master obtained his teachings during his
formative years, but it is almost certain that they were based on a corpus
of esoteric wisdom which existed well before his time. The gospels
indeed relate some of his “sayings”, but that is all they are, namely, a
few scattered sayings, from a much wider body of wisdom that Jesus
must have passed on to select individuals amongst his disciples.
This absorbing book speaks of Jesus’ teachings in the form
of a centuries-old tradition which greatly augments what we already
know of his teachings through the gospels. Whatever your views and
whatever your religious beliefs, with an open mind, this book truly is
a worthwhile read.
The Mystical
Life of Jesus
Here is a fascinating revelation of the unknown
life of Jesus, based upon traditions passed down through the centuries
in monasteries and esoteric Orders. Over nearly two millennia, numerous
stories have arisen about the birth, early life and education of the young
master Jesus, and there are several stories too about his later life and death.
Admittedly, most of these stories are probably wrong, but a few carry the ring
of truth, and it is these stories that Dr Lewis recounts after many years of
intensive research into their authenticity.
In this book you will find an account of the birth, youth, early manhood
and later periods of Jesus’ life, revealing the story of his activities in the time
not mentioned in the Gospel accounts. Although controversial, this subject
matter was published seventeen years before the discovery of the Dead Sea
scrolls. Yet in many respects it echoes the full flavour of the mystery tradition
which existed during the period of their creation.
