Informatie over de retraite in het Nederlands
Experience the Gnosis and know the Christ within.
The Deep Awakening has evolved from The Mystery Experience Retreat. The content will include everything that was offered before and much more.
What makes this a special Deep Awakening is that I will be focusing on Christian Gnostic philosophy to guide you to the deep awake state, which will give our journey together a different flavour to my other retreats and connect us back to the depths of the western esoteric tradition.
THE JESUS MYTH AND THE EXPERIENCE OF GNOSIS
Is the Jesus story actually a myth based on previous Pagan myths of a dying and resurrecting Son of God? What were the secret teachings of the Gnostic Christians about the Goddess Sophia? What is the realization of Gnosis and how can we experience it today?
During this retreat Tim will focus on the Gnostic philosophy he first explored in his international bestseller The Jesus Mysteries, written with Peter Gandy. He will
-
explore his revolutionary ideas about the Pagan origins of Christianity.
-
decode the allegorical myths of Jesus and Sophia as spiritual teaching stories.
-
share his 21st century Gnostic philosophy which brings these ancient teachings alive today.
-
guide you directly to the realization of gnosis and the discovery of the 'Christ within'.
-
lead powerful practices so you can experience agape or 'big love', which forms the sacred heart of Gnostic Christianity.
