Christ Sutras is a rare and unique work that masterfully weaves all the sayings we have of Jesus Christ into forty-two powerful, poetic topical sermons. Containing only the words of Jesus, Christ Sutras illuminates the deeper meaning of the sayings of Jesus found in the Bible, and also brings to light the secret sayings of Jesus found in twenty gospels that were left out of the New Testament. The words of Jesus found in these ancient, little-known gospels, including those discovered at Nag Hammadi in 1945, have been suppressed and hidden over the millennia, yet turn out to be the gospels that speak most directly to Jesus’ invitation to follow me. 
Contained within theses pages are some of the most profound pointers to Truth ever voiced. Never before have the sayings of Jesus been presented in such an intimate, immediate, and revelatory way.
It is an extraordinary journey to arrive at a place you have known all your life and see it for the first time. This is the experience of reading Christ Sutras—ancient words you have heard since childhood expand and resonate with fresh, overpowering meaning, touching the deepest part of who you are. There is nothing new in this book, and yet it will change your life.

The first edition of The Perennial Way included Yoga Sutras, Dhammapada, Ashtavakra Gita, Tao Te Ching, Heart Sutra, and Faith Mind Sutra, which and are considered by many to be the essential statements of Yoga, Buddhism, Advaita, Taoism, and Zen. It is to these traditions that serious seekers of enlightenment are generally drawn because they comprise a core methodology for Awakening that, to borrow from Huxley, might be called the Perennial Way. This new expanded edition adds four more spiritual classics: Avadhuta Gita, Atma Shatakam, Three Books of the Absolute, and Book of Yeshua—the inner teachings of Jesus Christ. In these timeless works, Patanjali, Buddha, Jesus, Lao Tsu, and other great masters of the Way speak with resonant authority on man’s deepest questions, and offer explicit instructions for how an earnest seeker of Truth should conduct his or her search and life. These insightful new versions by Bart Marshall are presented without commentary. Clear and poetic, yet intensely faithful to the language and nuance of the originals, they invite direct communion with the masters, and vibrate with a revelatory self-evidence that resonates in the mind and heart long after reading. “Bart Marshall is a remarkable confluence of awakened soul and poet. He has an ability to convey the truth of ancient writings with a profound spiritual immediacy. His translations not only interpret ancient mystical writings, but transmit their essential power to utterly alter and redefine our lives.” -- Bruce Joel Rubin, spiritual teacher and Oscar-winning screenwriter (Ghost, Jacob’s Ladder, My Life)

The Conquest of Illusion

Leeuw, J.J. van der

Alfred Pulyan (1896-1966) was considered an American Zen master, but not Zen in the formal Japanese tradition. Rather, Zen in the sense of going directly to the heart of the matter without regard for scriptures or traditions. Pulyan was one of those rare spiritual masters who could transmit to others, and his method of transmission came not only through personal contact, but through an exchange of letters with his students. In fact, he worked primarily by mail and had notable success triggering enlightenment in serious students through the confrontation and rapport of his letters. A fortunate side-effect of his method is that it is written down, and thus potentially available to others-providing one can find any of his letters. Those collected here are from correspondence with Richard Rose in 1960 and 1961, and provide an invaluable look under the covers as a Zen master goes about his thankless work.

This is a book about spiritual enlightenment-what it is, how it happened for me, and how you might live in such a way that it could happen for you. Few undertakings are more pretentious than writing about Absolute Truth and the "path" to it. For starters, positioning oneself as an authority on the subject is obscenely audacious, and takes a lot of chutzpah. Second, words cannot touch it, so no matter how well you might be able to choose and order yours, the end result will fall so far short of the mark it may as well be an outright lie. And yet, to have something informed to say about Truth and not speak it is almost impossible. To have True Nature reveal Itself to Itself in "your" presence is the greatest gift anyone could ever receive, and leaves you wishing that gift be given to everyone. In the memoir portion of this book, I've tried to focus on stories and life passages I feel in some way may have contributed to my Realization, or to my perspective now, sixteen years later. The last chapters are pretty much straight up "teachings" aimed at helping seekers on their own paths to Realization, and are the raison d'etre for this book at all. The memoir portion mainly serves as a way to get to know who you're listening to if you make it to the latter part, but hopefully it also provides an entertaining read.The things I say about spiritual matters are not intended to inform your mind and bring understanding. They are Trojan horses aimed at destroying all that. I'm not interested in saying things satisfying to the intellect. I'm interested in saying things that might weaken your fascination with a false reality, that might put your mind on shaky ground, that might make you vulnerable to Grace.My actual purpose is to arrange my words in such a way as to cause your mind to collapse in on itself, and there are numerous phrases and passages within this book capable of doing that. Your life, too, is filled with myriad invitations to "Know Thyself." When you are ready-when you have the capacity to receive-the thought that stops the mind will happen and transmission will occur. This is my deepest wish for you, but only if you wish it for yourself.
