"Jesus was an adept of the ancient Judaic mysteries who strove to free his people from the dead hand of the ritualists. He was trained in a dissident Jewish brotherhood which sought to bring back practices outlawed by the Jerusalem temple. At their heart was a yogic-based practice known in the apocrypha as the Gnosis of the Heart, which espoused the union of both sexes in a secret initiatic teaching. This book reinterprets Jesus’s key teachings in light of this rite of sacred consortship. 448 pp."
