What did Jesus really teach—and how much of his original message may have changed as Christianity evolved into an organized religion?
On Episode #267 of World Awakenings, Karl Gruber welcomes Rogier van Vlissingen, author of Recovering Jesus: Help Is Here Now and a longtime student and teacher of non-dual spirituality, biblical studies and A Course in Miracles.
In this unusually deep conversation, Rogier explores his interpretation of the distinction between the teachings of Jesus and the Christianity that developed after him. We discuss the Apostle Paul, the Gospel of Thomas, the Council of Nicaea, dualism and non-dualism, the development of Christian doctrine, and how A Course in Miracles fits into Rogier's understanding of Jesus as a teacher of spiritual awakening.
Rogier also shares his own spiritual journey, his work translating Gary Renard's The Disappearance of the Universe into Dutch, and the ideas behind his books Closing the Circle and Recovering Jesus.
Whether you're a student of A Course in Miracles, interested in the historical Jesus and early Christianity, or simply curious about the difference between Jesus' teachings and the religion built around him, this episode offers plenty to contemplate.
