Spiritual Psychology - Walter - Bog

In today's world there is a New Science and there is an Old Science. There is an Old Traditional form of Religion and there is a New form of Spirituality. There is Quantum Physics (the New Science), Epigenetics (the New Biology), an Old Psychology and a New Psychology (Spiritual or Transpersonal Psychology). Each of these New forms tell us of a world very different from that in which we have presumed to live. There are realms of reality and impacts on our genes, bodies, and behaviors never before understood. The messages that emerge in the Old and in the New are very different.
There is an Old Traditional Jesus that is tied to dogma, rules, rituals, notions of separation, and exoteric practices that neglect and distort the true message of Jesus. There is a New Jesus who is the Original Jesus that you find in his esoteric (inner) messages, like the Jesus you find in A Course In Miracles. This is a Jesus whose focus is on the heart and the psychology of human nature, the human mind, and on human behavior. His true message was on what is within, and it is one of transformation, and awakening to our Transcendent Self, our true inner nature.
People who have Spiritually Transformative Experiences discover that their bodies or their personalities are not who they are. They discover the essence of what it was that Jesus was teaching. Some of his teachings about our true inner nature or Transcendent Self include the following:
Our Source is a Loving Essence.
You are a powerful spiritual being living in a physical body.
You and your Consciousness are immortal and eternal.
There is a realm of reality beyond the material universe.
All that is visible comes from that which is invisible.
