Will the real Jesus please stand up?
11. April 2005
Format:Taschenbuch
Encounters with the paranormal or supernatural are self-validating for those who experience them, but raise many questions for those of us who hear about them secondhand. This book is no exception.
First of all, in most of these encounters, the being identified as "Jesus" does not explicitly claim to be Jesus. Rather, the entity is assumed to be Jesus on the basis of his physical appearance, on the basis of statements which imply that he is Jesus or call to mind the words of Jesus, or - most often - because of the profound sense of love, peace, and acceptance which the being bestows.
"Jesus" appears in many forms, or even without a form: sometimes his presence is merely felt and not seen; sometimes a voice is heard, but nothing is seen; sometimes a voice emerges from a brilliant light; sometimes a vague human shape is seen in the midst of a brilliant light; and sometimes Jesus appears as an apparently flesh-and-blood human being.
Skeptics will note that a large percentage of these encounters occur in dreams, raising the possibility of a subjective origin. Nonetheless, a number of the experiences do occur in ordinary reality, and their life-changing nature suggest that they are more than momentary psychological abberations.
Traditional Christians, while open to the reality of the supernatural, may suspect that some of these encounters with "Jesus" are in fact experiences of angelic or even demonic entities. We encounter multiple Jesuses, some of which are bizarre or disturbing, e.g., a Jesus accompanied by a flying saucer; a Jesus who claims to be identical to the Buddha; a Jesus who morphs into an East Indian sage; a Jesus who counsels a woman to divorce her husband; and - strangest of all - a bald-headed, beardless Jesus, wearing a pin-striped business suit as he speaks to a crowd in a circus tent.
So this is indeed a Jesus with New Age overtones, and that fact will make him more - or less - attractive depending on the religious beliefs of the reader. For me, the book has value as a chronicle of the paranormal, not necessarily as a conveyor of messages from the real Jesus.

A New Age Encounter with a "Jesus" spirit...?
18. April 2009
Format:Taschenbuch
Who knew? According to these "encounters with Jesus" (more likely with evil spirits deceiving the people describing them into thinking they were seeing our Lord Jesus Christ), Jesus is a nebulous spirit that is what anyone wants it to be and become. This is the most bizarre book I have ever read about encountering Jesus. I was expecting to read about real experiences with seeing or experiencing Jesus and His presence in our lives during times of sorrow or loss but instead some of the stories in this book seem to be taking ANY experience and saying it was "Jesus". The author goes on to psycho-analyze the experiences and launches into some of the most ridiculous explanations of why these experiences happen and how if Jesus does appear to anyone, it's only because their own mind makes it out of nothing because that is what they need at that time. This is a very uninspiring book. If you're going to write about pop psychology, stick to that subject. Leave Jesus out of it.
