The teacher readers meet in these pages is both compassionate and open-minded-he is the Jesus Christians know in their hearts.
Here at last is a gospel devoted solely to Jesus' teachings of love, healing, and forgiveness. Reflections of the Christ Mind presents the most important teachings the author has received through his spiritual awakening. Once Ferrini reached this reconciliation, powerful words of spiritual truth began to flow through him. Responding to the inner voice did not mean merely acknowledging Jesus as some great teacher who lived in the past, but also meant that he was opening himself up to a living presence within his own awareness. In time, however, he came to realize that it was not Jesus he was rejecting but the untruths that had become attached to Christian teaching. So when Ferrini felt Jesus' voice inside him saying, "I want you to acknowledge me," he resisted.
Instead of embodying the truth of Jesus' teaching, Christianity seemed to harbor the fearful thoughts and actions of people who were more committed to self-interest than to unconditional love. For Paul Ferrini, there was a time when the very thought of Jesus left him cold.
