Jesus and the Lost Goddess: The Secret Teachings of the Original Christians 52 reviews
Timothy Freke, Peter Gandy
Three Rivers Press, 2002
Enlightening
I loved this book. It clearly shows how religion has developed into its authoritarian nature from what should be a spiritual path. It for the first time in my understanding of Christianity show a truly spiritual side to what has become an unfortunately Hierchical authority driven religion. I believe it shows (indirectly) the reason why more and more westerners are becoming more interested in ...

Timothy Freke
Godsfield Press Ltd, 2000
If you're at all curious about Zen . . .
. . . get this book and card set! The book is attractive, short, very clear and -- most importantly -- approachable. It includes a short history on Zen, a summary of its concepts, and possible interpretations and things to think about for each koan. The koan cards will help you expand your mind, and use it in ways other than cognitively. And no peeking in the book until you've given each koan ...

The Hermetica: The Lost Wisdom of the Pharaohs19 reviews
Timothy Freke, Peter Gandy
Tarcher, 1999
Very good
Those who tend to disparage the value of this book are doing a disservice to those of us who want to know more about hermeticism and the hermetic tradition and are new comers to this area. Mr. Freke in his introduction clearly states how influential these writings have been. Yes this was written in late antiquity but it incorporates many teachings that would have come from the Mind of Thoth. This ...

The Jesus Mysteries: Was the "Original Jesus" a Pagan God?205 reviews
Timothy Freke, Peter Gandy
Three Rivers Press, 2001
A Must Read - A Must Have
I came across this book during my study of the Quran, in Chapter 9 verse 30, where it is mentioned that `The Jews say, "Ezra is the son of God and the Christians say, "The Messiah is the son of god." Such are the baseless things they utter with their tongues, following in the footsteps of the former unbelievers.' This led to my research on the `former' prevailing religion at the time which was ...

The Laughing Jesus: Religious Lies and Gnostic Wisdom38 reviews
Timothy Freke, Peter Gandy
Harmony, 2005
A must-read book!
I won't provide a summary of the book's content and key messages, as other reviewers have done that very well. This book is essential reading for anyone with an interest in religion and/or the mystery of life. If you read this book with an open mind (i.e. not as a stout religious person) you'll likely conclude that the literalist religions are a dreadful lie.

The Gospel of the Second Coming16 reviews
Timothy Freke; Peter Gandy
Hay House, 2007
A favourite book
What I particularly like about this book is the clear explanation of the symbolism in the Jesus story. I kept thinking "Why didn't I see that before?"
Gnosis, however, is harder to attain than the authors like to make out - so I have found.

Shamanic Wisdomkeepers: Shamanism in the Modern World5 reviews
Timothy Freke
Sterling, 2000
Shamanic Wisdomkeepers; Shamanism in the Modern World
This is a gem of a book on learning about Shamanism in the modern world. One gets tired of reading about new age spirituality with a guru bent. This book is clear sighted. Shamanism at its most non-commercial. Shamans who talk the talk and walk the walk. Photographs to immerse one in the big blue marble earth. Gaia is the key to understanding the way of the Shamans. We are truely an ecosystem ...

The Heart of Islam: Inspirational Book and Card Set2 reviews
Timothy Freke
Barron's Educational Series, 2002
Eye opening view of Islam - God for Everyone!
Guide book gives a brief uncluttered history of Islam and it's philosophy. Cards are great for spiritual exercise and discussion. A wonderful introduction for someone new to the concept of Islam (surrender) or a nice learning tool for someone seeking spiritual guidence. Learn about the REAL Jihad that everyone struggles with. This is the Islam of God, Compassion and Love, not 911.

The Wisdom of the Hindu Gurus (Wisdom of the World)1 review
Godsfield Press Ltd, 1999
Portable wisdom snippets
The book is well organized for having only 61 pages. Most pages containing two to three saying chosen from well know writings as the Upanishads or extrapolations by a know writer.
Such as:
"Meditate and realize that this world is full of the presence of God."
Shvetashvatara Upanishad
Many of the sayings cover the same subject from a different angle. I am very fond of the "Hindu ...

Taoist Wisdom: Daily Teachings from the Taoist Sages 3 reviews
Timothy Freke
Sterling Publishing, 1999
Well chosen, brief Taoist excerpts
This is one of my favourite ways to center after a long, nasty day. I can spend hours flipping through these pages. The excerpts from various Eastern works all have the basic Tao theme to them, even if they are not all lifted directly from the Tao Te Ching or the Ways of Chuang-Tzu, which was a gripe from another customer. The text for each day is generally brief enough that I can retain it in ...
