The Christ is Not a Person: The Evolution of Consciousness and the Destiny of Man

TUSCON, Ariz. — For thousands of years, enlightened Masters have pointed to a realization in greater conscious awareness as the means by which the deeply rooted problems of mankind can be solved, yet the true meaning and message of their teachings has, for the most part, been misinterpreted and therefore misunderstood. In his new book The Christ is Not a Person: The Evolution of Consciousness and the Destiny of Man (published by iUniverse), author J.C. Tefft not only demystifies ancient legends and myths, but also probes into deeper meanings of ancient teachings that go well beyond a literal interpretation of the words. He re-examines what ancient scripture might really have to say regarding mankind's true purpose in life, absent the legends and myths that have clouded the message for so long.

For thousands of years humanity has been buried in an avalanche of superstitions, legends and myths concerning God, Creation, life and the universe to the extent that this mythological mindset of antiquity is still with us today. As a result, enlightenment has not generally been forthcoming within mankind. We have for the most part become so encumbered with the weight of antiquated behavior and thinking that we only prolong until tomorrow and tomorrow what is at hand today. In The Christ is Not a Person, Tefft takes a different approach and thereby another look at the teachings of enlightened Masters in search of a more meaningful message than has customarily been put forward over the past few thousand years.

The Christ is Not a Person maintains that if one is able to rightly understand the profound teachings of ancient scripture, then such teachings can be a useful tool for enlightenment. To be enlightened is to discover, with Jesus, that we, too, can "come, ye blessed of my Father [and] inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.' This "kingdom" Jesus spoke of is not discovered in a life hereafter, but is discovered in this life, now.

Tefft understands that the value of reading ancient scripture is not in the literal interpretation of the words, but in the word's ability to inspire us to discover the living Truth in the sanctuary of our Being. If the teachings of enlightened Masters inspire us to better understand ourselves, then they have value. Only then are they worth attending to at all.
