The noble idea of the Christian Kabbalah is not so much the worship of Jesus Christ, but rather a conscious evolution toward a divine or super-humanity. In this regard, Christian Kabbalah is quite different from its Jewish roots, and Gnostic Christianity is very different from orthodox Christianity. Both are about experiencing God and evolving toward God, rather than just studying theology. This groundbreaking work is the first to present the Christian Gnosis of the Kabbalah in a practical and deeply esoteric way.

Gnosis of the Cosmic Christ - although a difficult read at some stages - is an important book, as it brings Kabbalah, Gnosticism and Christianity togeteher, as it should be. Highly recommended.
Phenomenal Book, Wonderfully Written:
Finding myself - like so many others - not completely satisfied with contemporary Christian teachings, and left with a feeling that "there must be something more", I recently began undertaking a study of mystical traditions, including Kabbalah. When I first began reading "Gnosis..." I found the material very heavy and a bit much to absorb, but even then there were passages that stood out to me and resonated with a deep, emphatic 'YES!'. I explored a number of similarly-themed books, but none left... more info
