 A must read February 23, 2008
86 out of 90 found this review helpful
The Third Jesus... as Deepak Chopra so beautifully writes, is the Jesus whose teachings we have somehow failed to heed. It is the Jesus who tells us the "Kingdom of Heaven is within" and to "Be Still and know that I am God" which are messages directing us back to ourselves so that we might contemplatively experience God. Jesus tells of the need for unconditional love, non judgment and embodying the innocence of a child to enter into this awareness. One need only read a newspaper to realize how we have failed to understand. Yet throughout history we learn of Saints and Sages who have understood. It is the responsibility of each of us individually to seek that awareness and realize our true potential. Deepak Chopra is simply reminding us.

"Third Jesus" is a masterpiece of spiritual revelation.
This insightful book transcends the centuries of Dogma that has
obscured the original teachings of Jesus and gives us a beautiful glimpse of
what's possible for all Humanity....infinite peace and love in our own lives
and a clear pathway to "Heaven on Earth" or as Deepak so eloquently
describes as GOD-Consciousness.

For someone like me who grew up without any religious background at all, I find The Third Jesus to be an inspiring blueprint for how to become an evolved person! The book has given me a way that is comfortable and undemanding to begin to learn about Jesus's spiritual lessons in their own right, independent of church dogma. What may be the long-lasting legacy of this book, in fact, is how profoundly it shifts the focus from who Deepak calls the second Jesus, the one developed for Christians, to Jesus as a spiritual teacher, a teacher who can help you evolve your consciousness. The gift of Jesus's lessons are offered, regardless of one's religious affiliation. I especially love the exercises, which take Jesus's teachings, such as "As you sow, so shall you reap," one by one, and offer a way to understand them from your own inner, spiritual perspective.

THE THIRD JESUS reminds us of the core teachings of Jesus Christ and ways we can apply them in our lives. Chopra's scriptural knowledge and the way he draws on other spiritual traditions to describe Christ Consciousness is impressive.
The 15 steps at the close of the book are especially helpful and are like nothing I've read before. Chopra identifies key Christian doctrine -- "the kingdom of heaven is within you," "ask and you shall receive," "you are the light of the world" -- then applies the teaching, and gives wonderful excercises to help readers bring the teaching into their lives.
All in all, the book has inspired me to see Jesus's teachings in a way that makes them immediate and quite powerful.

Hmm--a book about Jesus from a man who charges $200-300K for condominiums at his luxury resorts. It's a little like reading a book about business ethics by Ken Lay. As a progressive Christian, I like the premise of the book, yet the whole thing smacks of a personal triumphalism, a Jesus for those who have the time, money and therefore consciousness to encounter him. What about the thousands who have died of starvation in the time it's taken to read this sentence, the very ones who were the initial focus of Jesus' message? How do you encounter the mystical Jesus when you're evicted from your home because your neighborhood has been gentrified, making way for luxury condos? Where is the third Jesus when you're sifting through garbage at the dump for your next meal? Where is that Jesus in this book? Sorry--I'm not convinced that this is the transformative work that it purports itself to be. For transformation, see Walter Wink's "Jesus and Nonviolence: A Third Way".
