(Reup after a glitch) Mark Vernon is a former priest turned psychotherapist and writer, and he’s written a book, “A Secret History of Christianity,” that reveals wisdom crucial for understanding what Christ’s message truly is. Neither a conspiracy book or an alternate esoteric history, Vernon shows how understanding the shifts and changes in human and societal consciousness over the course of human history is one key to understanding ourselves and the divine. And how mysticism, art, creativity, and mythical imagnination are needed right here and now to heal the world.
