Son of Man is a celebration of the mystical Christ and a practical guidebook to contacting Christ and experiencing what St. Paul called "the glorious liberty of the children of God." Andrew Harvey has been called one of the true prophets and mystics of our time. In Son of Man, Harvey"s long-awaited and stunning new book, he begins by explaining that Christ came to help release humanity from all bonds of false authority and to reveal to people their own divine identity, thereby awakening all to the freedom, dignity, and joy that were within them. Harvey then presents an anthology of texts that have shaped his radical vision of Christ-consciousness: the Gospels, recently discovered Gnostic gospels, and the writings of Macarius the Great, St. John of the Cross, Rimbaud, Oscar Wilde, Dostoyevsky, Emily Dickinson, and others. In the final section, Harvey offers transformative ways of realizing the power of Christ. These practices are drawn from early Christian traditions of mantra, medieval mystic devotions, the vision of prayer of Teresa of Avila, and from the author"s own experiences of the meditation and visualization practices of Hinduism, Sufism, and Tibetan Buddhism. A beautiful volume of text and photographs, Son of Man will help us enter into a union with Christ as he becomes the "source and principle of divine life" (Thomas Merton) within us.
