I, Yeshua: Awakener

By Lars J. Gimstedt

I have been a student of A Course in Miracles since 1986. The Course changed the direction of my life so completely that I retrained from quantum physicist to psychosynthesis therapist. It also gave me a question I could not stop carrying: who was Yeshua, before Paul named him saviour and the evangelists built the Gospels around him? Not the theological figure. The person.
I, Yeshua: Awakener is my attempt to answer that question. It is a fictional autobiography written in the first person, grounded in what modern historical research points to and soaked in the teachings of the Course. Yeshua uses his own name. His mother is Miryam. His brother is Hakob. The language of the King James Bible is gone on purpose, because the King James Bible was not his language.
This book is a proposal, not a doctrine. It is up to you to decide what you accept and what you must reject. But it was written by someone who has spent forty years in the same question you may be carrying, and it will give you a Yeshua who sounds like the elder brother the Course describes: not a figure to be worshipped from a distance, but a man who finished ahead of us on the same return journey we are all on.
For students of A Course in Miracles, readers of historical Jesus scholarship, and anyone who has ever wondered what his gospel would have sounded like if he had written it himself.

===================

"An interesting book about Jesus, or Yeshua, has just been published by Lars Gimstedt. The book is written as a self-biography by Yeshua, and covers his lifespan from childhood till the very last meeting with his disciples after the resurrection.The author has done an impressive background study regarding Aramaic and Hebrew names, which are used throughout in the book. It made it easier for me to read the book as an independent story, and not directly synchronize it with the Bible all the time.It is a book easy to read, the chapters are relatively short, coherent and to the point. Students of A Course in Miracles will detect many references, and especially the main focus, that we are all one with our Creator.It is refreshing to read a more everyday description of the human life of Yeshua. That his life was not very different from our own in many aspects, so easy to forget. That we are all on the same 'voyage', the return trip to Heaven and the Oneness. He just 'finished' ahead of us.In the author's foreword in the beginning it is made clear that the story is a fictitious one, but based on some of the available material in the Bible and also A Course in Miracles. Nevertheless it stimulates my own perception and understanding of the human Jesus, which in many ways have been regarded as so special that we 'ordinary' humans could never reach a spiritual advanced state such as he did.I can recommend the book as worthwhile reading for anyone who is working with, or interested in the spiritual side of life. With its many novel interpretations it can lead to a better understanding of what this is about, for those who dare to think 'outside the box'.
