Christianity is not about blind belief.
Christianity is about Direct Personal Experience of the Divine.
In this lecture we explore the secret teachings of Christian mysticism by investigating some of the non-dual teaching of the greatest Non-Dual Master of all time: Yeshua the Christ!
There are many misconceptions about what Christianity is and isn't. Tonight, we try to cut through the dogma and noise of the "brood of vipers" to penetrate into the vital, living Heart of this most powerful spiritual tradition.
May this be an offering to all the saints!
