AMAZON REVIEW, FIVE STARS: "Much has been written of Jesus of Nazareth. His presence is felt the world over. He's loved and respected by most, but many of these same people still aren't sure what to make of him. They sense that this desert prophet's sayings are of vital importance, but cannot access them as they are cryptic and deliberately corrupted by fundamenalists of all stripes. Cut through all of the noise by purchasing this volume! What did Jesus mean when he referred to himself as the "Son of God"? Why did he teach that the Kingdom is "within"? Why did he buck established norms by proclaming "ye are gods"? This book, "Christ is All and In All," reveals the truth!" - TYLER SETH HINDS. BOOK DEVIL REVIEW: "We're all familiar with the usual scientific model of rational materialism: basically, you are a hunk of meat and an intangible byproduct of brain chemicals. Biocentrism, however, holds that consciousness is supreme and that material reality is something similar to electrons. Electrons are not particles orbiting the nucleus of an atom. Rather, they are probability fields that only coalesce into a particle state when observed. Biocentrism asserts that this is pretty much how the whole dang cosmos works. That consciousness - which existed initially as a field of raw, undifferentiated consciousness permeating the entire universe - is responsible for the collapsing of matter into a solidified state from a sort of probability field state. Biocentrism obviously challenges string theory, as well as the bulk of established scientific thought since it would dethrone materialism from its elevated throne. It seems strange to say, but since biocentrism echoes some ancient ideas spawned by mysticism - notably Hinduism and Buddhism - that actually spikes my inclination to give it credit. I've seen a few startling parallels between cutting edge science, particularly of the quantum variety, and ancient mystic thought. What this all has to do with author Seabrook's excellent, slim but heady volume of religious reassessment, "Christ Is All and In All," is the fact that while Seabrook is a Christian, he's a syncretic Christian and he's of the mystical bent. Which means that most of this book would be considered anywhere from unorthodox to heretical. He sheds new light on classic, familiar biblical passages, demonstrating how they teach that all of us are divine - possessed by the spark of godhood within. This is clearly a mythological analog to the fact that conscioussness, as per biocentrist thought (at least my take on it), is not generated from the nervous system but, rather, precedes matter and that our nervous systems are antennae, channelers, of consciousness, not generators of it. Jesus, then, was not a god-man among lower beings. Instead, he was the first of such god-men (within Christian tradition, naturally, since god-men have been around long before Christianity). He was inviting the rest of us to realize we could be just like him. We're all enlightened (or potentially so), to use Buddhist terminology. Biocentrifically (I think I made that word up), we are all participators in the consciousness that permeates all. Colonel Seabrook cites both canonical and non-canonical sacred texts, as well as analogous material in other religions, to make his case for "theosis" - the idea that we are all "god." From the breath of God inserted into Adam and Eve to the teachings of Christ, the author builds a compelling case for mystical Christianity - or, for that matter, whatever mythological symbology in which you care to place your faith. Like Seabrook, I am a syncretist, and I know that the truth is out there - everywhere. From the Bhagavad Gita through the New Testament and on to biocentrism, the concept of theosis permeates. Sort of like the "god" consciousness around which this book revolves." - KRISTOFER UPJOHN

Reseña del editor:

Mainstream Christianity today teaches that Jesus was the only divine person who ever lived. But this is not what Jesus Himself taught!

Like all of the great spiritual leaders throughout history, the Master from Galilee preached the doctrine of Theosis, God in Man, maintaining that we are literal "gods" of our own inner realm. The Apostles, especially Paul and John, the Old Testament prophets, and every single one of the early Church Fathers, also vigorously upheld the concept of Theosis: humanity's oneness with God. Due to its 2,000 year suppression by the institutionalized Church, however, most modern Christians are completely unaware of this wonderful and empowering doctrine.

But all of that has changed. Award-winning Christian author, historian, and Bible authority Colonel Lochlainn Seabrook has written Christ Is All and In All, a brief but brilliantly powerful and revealing exploration of our Divine Nature and what our Lord referred to as "the Kingdom Within." The title, taken from Paul's letter to the Jesus community at Colossae, perfectly reflects the contents of this revolutionary, life-altering work.

In it you will learn the many secrets of Theosis, carefully withheld from the Christian laity for nearly 100 generations. These include what it is that makes you divine, why God purposefully created you this way, and how you can use this amazing fact to enhance your life. Colonel Seabrook also shows you how to do what Jesus called "enter the Kingdom of Heaven," a mystical but very real spiritual domain where "with God all things are possible," such as healing disease, attaining prosperity, and finding happiness.

For academics and those interested in scriptural proof of Theosis, there are over 600 endnotes citing thousands of biblical passages, as well as copious quotes from the theosistic writings of ancient Church authorities, among them Irenaeus, Augustine, and Thomas Aquinas. An illustrated, beautifully designed, ecumenical work that can be read and understood by all Christians - whatever their personal views - Christ Is All and In All can also be enjoyed by non-Christians and even nonbelievers, for Theosis is not only a spiritual reality, it is also a scientific one. The foreword is by Dr. Jeremy Lopez, international teacher, motivational speaker, and author, whose Jesus ministry has been recognized by Christian leaders around the world.

After reading Christ Is All and In All you will never look at yourself, Jesus, or Christianity the same way again. This truly transformational, inspiring, and uplifting book about the universal Indwelling Christ, which Paul referred to as "the Son in me," and which the Apostle John called "the true Light which lighteth every man that cometh into the world," belongs in every Christian home and Church library.

Lochlainn Seabrook is the recipient of the prestigious Jefferson Davis Historical Gold Medal, and is the author of over 50 popular books for all ages that have introduced hundreds of thousands to the hidden truths about Jesus, Christianity, and the Bible. Known as the "Southern Joseph Campbell" for his many works on spirituality, mythology, and religion, he is the author of the international blockbuster, Jesus and the Law of Attraction. His other works include: Seabrook's Bible Dictionary of Traditional and Mystical Christian Doctrines; The Bible and the Law of Attraction; Jesus and the Gospel of Q; Britannia Rules: Goddess-Worship in Ancient Anglo-Celtic Society; The Goddess Dictionary of Words and Phrases; The Book of Kelle: An Introduction to Goddess-Worship and the Great Celtic Mother-Goddess Kelle; and UFOs and Aliens: The Complete Guidebook.
