Christ Power and Earth Wisdom

The author is best known for his carved 'cosmograms' and his work on sacred landscape. Here he describes his intuitive and scholarly search for what he calls the Fifth Gospel expressing the true Gnostic teaching of Christ beyond the harnessing of his words to create the institution of the Church. He draws not only on the canonical gospels but also on the Gospel of Thomas, describing how he senses an etheric layer to the text, and where this is interrupted. An important element of the book is messages ostensibly received from the Archangel Michael by his daughter Ana, one of which gives a powerful explanation of Love as the most direct and concentrated power equated with Life, just as Beinsa Douno also explains. The author sees the message of Christ as an important evolutionary transition, emphasising the importance of the integration of opposites described in Thomas as well as our individual responsibility within the larger scheme of things. The text is accompanied by some powerful symbolic line drawings and descriptions of significant experiences in places such as Chartres and San Marco in Venice. Our evolution is related to that of the Earth and we should seek relationships with Nature in our own localities. One chapter at the end provides an illuminating commentary on many sayings of Jesus as applied to our own spiritual development. As the title suggests, the unique feature of this book is bringing together Christ Power and Wisdom.
