The Lost Art of Resurrection: Initiation, secret chambers and the quest for the Otherworld

"Those who say they will die first and then rise are in error," states the once banned Gospel of Philip. For centuries, every esoteric and Gnostic sect was aware that the literal interpretation of the resurrection of Christ promoted by the Church was a fraud. And with good reason: thousands of years before Jesus, initiates from Egypt and China to Celtic Britain and North America practiced a mystical ritual, and its adepts — from Zoroaster to Plato -regarded the experience as the pinnacle of spiritual development: a life-altering awakening that disclosed insights into the nature of reality and the self. But more importantly, as outlined on the walls of a secret chamber beneath one Egyptian pyramid, the experience of resurrection was not meant for the dead, but for the living.

Its initiates were referred to as' risen from the dead'.

Blending ancient traditions, science and first-hand accounts, this book offers a unique insight into living resurrection; the purpose of initiation; the cultures and societies who practiced it; the revelation of Jesus as a reenactment of the resurrection of Osiris; why initiates protected its secrets with their lives; and why the Church preferred you didn't know about this.
