This is a wonderful book that helps one to understand the true meaning of Jesus's teachings. It explains how we got to where we are today and how we can use these principals to deeping our spiritual life. Jesus meant for the principals to be available to everyone and so they are at whatever level of understanding you are at in your life.

While this book took me a little longer to read, work and personal projects got in the way. I found it to be a very good read and I finally read something that went to my own belief system. It has several rituals, commentary, articles and history that makes the book a real good read for one who wants to go from being a religious person to a spiritual person. This bring in writings from several sources, just not the bible but the other gospels such as the gnostic text.
But this is not for everyone and some who do not have a open mind will not like this book and may even attack it.
This is a very good book and one will learn allot from it. While there was a few things I disagree with him, I still enjoyed the book and found 90% of the material extremely good.

This book is a lot to digest. It could be because there is a lot going on with me healthwise. I generally love Ted Andrews writings, but this may appeal more to those who have been raised in structured biblical churches.I find it a bit overwhelming and heavy especially for those of us who may feel their time is very limited on this earth. It gave me more worry than peace at heart. Surely it is not meant to do so. I prefer the Native American spirituality ways, but thought Ted would be able to pull the two together. This is written in simple form to a degree and yet not. I am a believer in the Divine and have had the experience of the mystical messages from the Holy Bible. I just think that this book will touch some tremedously while possibly not so much for others. And maybe that is the MYSTICAL found in the Occult Christ.

This is a great book for those that want to appreciate Christianity, yet have trouble with all the dogma. I use this book when teaching esoteric Christianity and it's easy to understand language makes it a best bet for even a beginner. You will not regret the time spent reading The Occult Christ. It will allow another view into Christianity that fits with many spiritual teachings.

If gentle readers can overlook the fact that this book could have used one more edit before publishing it, they may find it to be as valuable as I have. There is a much more esoteric book on the same subject by Corinne Helene, "Star Gates". I view "The Occult Christ" by Ted Andrews to deal more with application rather than etheric rumination, or pontification. I find that making voice recordings of the quarterly meditations and then using them daily during the appropriate seasonal periods is an extremely approachable way to understand the power of the Solstices and Equinoxes from within. Let spirit teach you, rather than teachers, if you are able. The learnings are profound and lasting.

its a combination of many beliefs. the book tells u another story of how to live your life to the fullish.
