The Aquarian Gospel of Jesus the Christ: The Philosophic And Practical Basis Of The Religion Of The Aquarian Age Of The World And Of The Church Universal

A classic of New Age spirituality.

Full title: The Aquarian Gospel of Jesus the Christ: The Philosophic and Practical Basis of the Religion of the Aquarian Age of the World and of the Church Universal.

The Aquarian Gospel is an interpretation of the 'lost' eighteen years of Jesus Christ (from roughly the ages of twelve to thirty) not mentioned in the four Gospel accounts. Levi H. Dowling documents these 18 years as a time when Jesus travels to the centers of wisdom in western India, Tibet, Persia, Assyria, Greece, and Egypt. In each of these capital cities, he is educated, tested, and teaches the religious leaders. Jesus inevitably proves that he is 'God's chosen one' (the Christ) in these locales and brings back this multi-cultural wisdom and confidence to Galilee and Judea.

This book profoundly impacted the development of alternative spirituality in the early twentieth century. In summation, this unusual book is a must-read classic for all students of enlightenment-both novices and seasoned scholars alike.
