We live in an unprecedented time of cross-pollination between various cultures when, after centuries of separation, science and spirituality are coming together to reevaluate what it means to be a conscious human being. We've reached a point when the subjective nature of mystical experiences is being viewed from an entirely new perspective, one which is no longer bound by superstitious beliefs and superficial interpretations. Speaking of the great traditions of the West, we can no longer view the story of Christ as an autonomous event separate from our own awakening into the essential nature of ultimate reality which is our very own Self. Here we are being encouraged to draw parallels–-to gain deeper insights into the dynamics of spiritual processes—where the mysteries of Christian Initiations can be understood through the knowledge preserved in certain perennial traditions of the East. This immersion is an invitation to re-examine the profoundly universal teaching of Christ in light of the direct realization of Christ-Consciousness within.
