5.0 out of 5 stars For open minded thinkers!, October 22, 2002

This review is from: The Vision of the Nazarene (Paperback)

One of the best books of it's kind in print. Cyril Scott lays out in lament easy to understand terminolgy the philosphy of the way christianity should be viewed and taught, and not traditionally believed. Gives plain and simple explanations on how scriptures can be misrepresented, and how wrong thought process can discourage the novice christian believer.

Jesus the master is seen from a most wonderful, realistic, down to earth point of view. The writer paints a Jesus or Nazerene that is for the most part real and beliveable.

This review is from: The Vision of the Nazarene (Paperback)

This book was first published in the year of my birth, 1933. Its vision is not only that of the Master Jesus and the truth he taught long ago, but of the need of our time to return to and live according to these wise and ancient teachings. This humanity has never truly attempted. When we begin to live these teachings we shall truly see the birth a new world, a new civilization on Earth. It is for such a time the world is NOW preparing.

In part two of this beautiful book by Cyril Scott (all of his books should be read by anyone seeking deeper spiritual understanding), prophecies of what lies ahead are made. For example:

In the New Testament we find this saying: "There is nothing hidden that will not be revealed, and there is nothing secret that will not become known and come to light." (Luke 8:17) In The Vision of the Nazarine, we are told that scientific instruments will be built of such great sensitivity "that Nature will be compelled to lay bare yet more of her secrets before the eyes of even the most skeptical." We're told these instruments will enable us to "see the unseen and hear the unheard" -- that the secret lives of all men will be unveiled and that those who seek to exploit humanity for their own selfish/destructive ends will be known by all humanity for what they are. Then will the human family rise up and overthrow its enemies and begin to see the glorious future it deserves -- one of love and truth and freedom -- start to be fulfilled.

In another work by Alice Bailey, we're told, "He for Whom all men wait is on His way back to ordinary visibility." We are are on the verge of the most remarkable evolutionary leap forward the human race has ever known. A better world awaits us if we have the courage to make it happen, but it will not come about with our help.

Though written in 1933 and frequently republished, this is a book every true spiritually minded person regardless of religion or faith should take time to read...and live. These truths are not uniquely Christian; they are simple yet profound teachings each and every human being should seek to make fundamental to their lives.
