One passage from "Jesus Said... The I Am;" defines the book's form and function: The dazzling presence of this Christ-Light was witnessed in the luminance of Moses, "When Moses came down from Mount Sinai with the two tablets of testimony in hand... Moses wist not that the skin of his face shone." (Exodus 34:29) McClintock writes with the wide-eyed wonder and shining faith of the illuminated. He speaks with authority and documentation to the one-ness, the commonality of the soul. He uses long passages from theosophists and lines from popular music to present his revelation in language both stately and familiar. He uses the story of an apple to illustrate ascension and rejuvenation. He rips hidebound religious mores that interceded between the soul and the divine. Using historical, scholarly, and homespun arguments, McClintock offers a loving yet skeptical look at our place in this Great Soul of a Universe. In a world that is too much with us, C.S. McClintock offers a gentle and well-informed alternative. Turn away from the fables of original sin, break the shackles of organized religion and institutional cant to find your universe, your connectivity with the God-consciousness, that lies within. McClintock's series of provocative essays are buttressed by readings in the great theosophical tradition. He illuminates the great I AM that awaits all who are willing to make a journey of faith.
