Christ is there for all humanity.\" (from the book)\u003cp\u003eIn the old mystery cultures, individuals experienced themselves as \"children\" of the gods, or even as their instruments.

But who is this \"I\"?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVirginia Sease and Manfred Schmidt-Brabant maintain that true self-knowledge is intimately related to knowledge of the central being of world evolution--Christ, the \"I AM.\" Focusing on the being of Christ and on Christianity, the authors present a series of engaging lectures on the development of mystery wisdom today.
