A WATERSHED WORK: J.C. Tefft has written the most comprehensive, insightful book I've ever read concerning the deeper truths of profound ancient scripture. I have never been drawn to orthodox religious beliefs and practices, but at the same time I've always found ancient scripture difficult to navigate. J.C. changed all that. His writing style and organization are eminently readable and understandable. In the past, I had completely missed many of the metaphysical meanings that are expressed in scripture, but not any more. While J.C. demystifies ancient legend and myth, he simultaneously shines an abundance of light on the true meaning of ancient, spiritual teachings that are often overlooked and/or misunderstood. I genuinely believe this book will prove to be a watershed work for mankind. I can't recommend it enough. Nancy K. Atkinson - Felllow Spiritual Seeker A PROFOUND WORK: This book is a must read for anyone seeking to better understand the underlying purpose of creation, life, and the evolution of the universe. J.C. presents a comprehensive, in-depth look into the evolution of consciousness from the beginning of time to today. In the process, he reconciles ancient spiritual teachings, as seen through the lens of the ancient mind, with contemporary spiritual teachings. What emerges is an insightful, holistic vision of an integrated universe that is constantly evolving; a vision that is just now coming to light through greater conscious awareness within mankind. I highly recommend this work. Mick Quinn - Spiritual Teacher and author of "The Uncommon Path: Awakening Authentic Joy" A MUST READ: This book is a must read for anyone interested in New Thought interpretation of the Bible. I have taken quite a few classes on the Bible over the years and I found this book to be well written, informative, and in line with the New Thought movement. Not written like a textbook, it is very reader friendly. It can be as easily read by a novice as by someone with more advanced studies. J.C. does an excellent job of not only explaining Biblical scripture, but also showing how closely aligned it is with other scriptures from other belief systems around the world. "The Christ is NOT a Person" will not disappoint. Cherie Fisher - Unity Church Spiritual Leader AN INCREDIBLE WORK: This is such an incredible book I hardly know where to begin. I've always sensed that there was more to the Bible than what is customarily taught from the Christian piont of view, and this book opened my mind and heart to what that "more" truly is. Breathing new life into ancient teachings, the author makes them once again relevant in our own lives today. After seperating the wheat from the chaff, he reveals with great clarity how consciousness is the motivating force behind all creation, and how the process of evolution is leading us, as human beings, into a cosmic awareness of who we truly are and why we are here. He points out how all profound spiritual teachings are at their core, one and the same. Much like enlightened masters of antiquity who spoke truthy in their time, his words speak truth in our time, and that truth speaks directly to the spirit within. Truly a remarkable work, I highly recommend it to any and all, regardless of religious background or traditional system of belief. Cherie Gustafson - Fellow Spiritual Seeker

About the Book
Why are we born? For what purpose are we here?
The longer we remain unaware of what is taking place within us of what drives us and what can liberate us from the bonds of egocentric behavior the longer we allow what the Buddha called the sorrow of life to hold sway. The sorrow of life is the sum and consequence of our total identification with the world that is created by self.
The word Consciousness means something more than what the mind of self thinks, imagines, or conceives. Awareness in Pure Consciousness is an awareness that is other than self and beyond thought. Contrary to traditional thinking, the so-called unseen, unknown world is nothing more than Consciousness of which we are unaware. Unawareness in Consciousness has been evolving into Awareness in Consciousness since before time began.
The author of this work comprehensively sets forth a meaning of ancient scripture that likely has not been advanced to you before. He demystifies ancient legends and myths so the essential truth of ancient teachings shines through. Using ancient scripture as a guide, he insightfully explores a growing conscious awareness that has been emerging within mankind over the last few thousand years.
A must read for anyone looking to discover the deeper meaning of ancient scripture beyond a literal interpretation of the words.
