Talk - THE ELECTRIC JESUS: The Healing Journey of a Contemporary Gnostic, by Jonathan Talat Phillips

Sept. 13, 2012 - PRLog -- Join Evolver co-founder JONATHAN TALAT PHILLIPS for a talk and signing of his bestseller THE ELECTRIC JESUS: The Healing Journey of a Contemporary Gnostic, a chronicle of the rise of an international movement that is trailblazing visionary ways to address our current planetary crisis through raised consciousness.

“A modern Odyssey of awakening, Jonathan Talat Phillips's journey into Gnosticism deeply resonates with the eccentric moment. The Electric Jesus, a spiritual autobiography, reveals a life lived in the light of transformation, searching for the mystic core of a planetary civilization.” —ALEX GREY, co-founder of the Chapel of Sacred Mirrors, author of The Mission of Art

“A fresh, vigorous, and often startling account of a man's introduction to higher planes of reality. If you've ever wondered what the new consciousness movement is about, read this book and find out.” —RICHARD SMOLEY, author of Inner Christianity and The Dice Game of Shiva: How Consciousness Creates the Universe

When the author experienced a devastating loss as a countercultural media activist,
he unwittingly embarked on a mystical journey marked by underground ayahuasca rites, kundalini awakenings, prankster spirit guides, shapeshifting extraterrestrials at the Burning Man festival, and miraculous energy healings that reshaped his skeptical worldview. In THE ELECTRIC JESUS, TALAT delves into his own Christian background, discovering the lost rites of the mystery schools and their secret “electric” messages concerning personal transformation and a potential evolutionary shift for our world.

The evening will open with a chakra activation, followed by a reading, and
an open discussion about The Evolver Network and a rising consciousness culture flowering across the planet. Afterparty to follow.

JONATHAN TALAT PHILLIPS co-founded the cutting edge web-magazine Reality Sandwich and The Evolver Network, coordinating the Spores program with 40+ regional chapters transforming their communities. He is a religion blogger for the Huffington Post, an initiate of the International Sufi Order, founder of the NYC Gnostics, creator of “The Ayahuasca Monologues: Tales of the Spirit Vine”, a Reiki Master and a Bioenergetic Healer.
