Reflections of the Christ Mind Hardcover – June 20, 2000

Reflections of the Christ Mind presents the most important teachings the author has received through his spiritual awakening.

Repudiating religious hypocrisy, intolerance, and spiritual pride, Ferrini rejects the dogmatic position of the Church, offering instead words of hope and healing that form the new gospel for today.

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com Review
Rather than channeling, Ferrini explains that he connects with the "Christ mind" and writes what comes to him--a form of communion that anyone is capable of. The first-person tone of the teachings is intimate and inviting. Each reflection is about a paragraph or two long, so it can be relished in small bites. This collection of previously published material reads like a greatest hits album, with Ferrini offering his all-time favorite Christ mind reflections. --Gail Hudson

About the Author

The Source of This Information
With all of the fanfare about channeling, it seems important to be clear that this is not a channeled book. The information in this book does not come from some entity or personality apart from the mind of the listener. Indeed, this book is the result of one listener's joining with the Christ Mind, of which he and you are essential parts.
To think of me as being outside of and independent of your mind is to miss the point. For it is in your mind that I address you. I am your most intimate friend speaking to you, sometimes in words, often beyond words. Your communication and communion with me are essential to your practice of my teaching. (LWOC)
The Second Coming
A teaching lives only to the extent that people understand it and live it. It is like a musical composition. It doesn't come alive until someone performs it.
When you understand my teaching and practice it in your daily life, you become a beacon for others. Through you, my teaching comes alive. Through your life, I live.
This is my Second Coming. I will not come again in a physical body. I will come through your heart/mind and your life as you attune to me, just as I have always done.
There was a time when I had twelve apostles. Now I have thousands.
Every time a person turns to me in complete surrender, he becomes my instrument. Through his hands and heart I work to spread love in the world. (MOL)
I Am Not the Only Child of God
It is nearly 2,000 years since my birth and my teaching--which was once like a raging stream--has shrunk to barely a trickle of water. You have rationalized me and put me in my place: an exalted place perhaps, but a distant one. You have placed me above you where I will not challenge you. By making me a deity, an only Son of God, you excuse yourself from having to live up to my example. Yet my example is the heart of my teaching. If you do not try to emulate me, what is the meaning of your belief in me? (RTG)
Crucifixion and Resurrection (1)
You think I am special because I was crucified. Yet you are nailed to the cross every day. And when you are not being nailed, you are doing the nailing. There is nothing special about being crucified.
Some of you believe that I alone was resurrected. Yet you are raised from death by the power of love every time you remember who you are or who your brother is. Every time love is given or received, death is vanquished. For everything dies, except love. Only the love you have given or received lives forever.
You may think that by believing in me you are guaranteed some special place in the afterlife. That is not true, unless your belief in me has inspired you to give love or receive it. If you have not opened to love in your life, your belief in me or in anyone else means very little. (MOL)
Crucifixion and Resurrection (2)
You think your hurtful actions condemn you for all time. You think that God is vengeful and will punish you for your mistakes. But that is not the God I know. That is the God created out of human fear and guilt.
You think that I died for your sins. That is a misunderstanding of my life and my teaching. I came to teach that no sin is unforgivable, that every being deserves love, including those who strike out against others in their fear and their pain.
I did not die to save you from your sins, nor did I die to condemn you for crucifying me. I died, quite simply, because you could not recognize me in yourself.
You think you are attending my crucifixion when in truth you are attending your own. But remember, like me, you too will be resurrected from the prison of pain. My Passion play is just a metaphor for your own. (RTG)
Do Not Think That I Alone Am Christ
Do not think that I alone am Christ or you will miss the entire point of my teaching. Every one of you is the anointed one. Every one of you is chosen.
But to be chosen is not enough. Some of my Jewish brothers and sisters were chosen, yet they chose to worship idols nonetheless. Some of my Christian brothers and sisters were chosen, yet they chose to make idols of me and mother Mary. You see, it is not enough to be chosen. You too must choose.
I made my choice and so must you. Choosing to put God first does not mean that you are perfect or mistake free. I was not perfect, although you believe me to be. That, of course, is the problem.
If you believe that I was perfect, then how can you measure up to me? My friends, you are not talking about Jesus here. You are talking about some abstract idol, an intellectual concept to which you will nail yourself as though it were a cross. The story of the crucifixion is not over. You keep it alive through your perfectionism and relentless self-judgment.
Knowing that I was an imperfect human being like you, you can muster a bit of hope for yourself. Salvation is not for those who are mistake free, but for those who make mistakes and desire to atone for them. (MOL)
I Did Not Die for Your Sins
If I died for your sins, then there is nothing left for you to do. Why then not ascend to heaven on the strength of your belief in me?
I will tell you why. Because, in spite of your belief, you are not happy. You are not at peace.
Take me down from the pedestal, my brother or sister, and place me at your side, where I belong. I am your absolute, unconditional equal. What I have done, you too will do. You will not be saved by my thoughts and actions, but by your own. Except you become the Christ, peace will not come to the world. If you would see me as king, then king must you yourself be.
Do not put distance between us, for I am no different from you. Whatever you are--a beggar or thief, a holy man or a king--that I am too.
There is no pedestal I have not been lifted upon, nor any gutter I have not lain in. It is only because I have touched the heart of both joy and pain that I can walk through the doors of compassion. (MOL)

- Reviewed in the United States on December 20, 2008This book is one of the most treasured books I have. I originally bought it for a gift, but upon receiving it, I still have it. Paul Ferrini is a beautiful writer, and even if you would just pick up the book and open to any page, it always speaks to me with exactly what I need at that time. It follows closely with A Course in Miracles, which I have studied for many years, and so I find it very helpful with my ongoing studies. I thank God for blessing us with such wonderful authors such as Paul Ferrini.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 15, 2010This book has been on my bookshelf for years and it is a "go-to" book for me when I need or want comfort or guidance. This copy was purchased for my sister. It is made up of short passages from Mr. Ferrini's other publications..making it easy to pick up and read a page or two. I always learn something no matter where I open the book!
- Reviewed in the United States on July 7, 2013Ferrini's book is quite inspiring to individual seekers trying uncover their own true inner identity & relationship with their creator. I love the clarity of this book's vernacular in the ancient, or pre-biblical teachings that the Krishna-Christ-Buddha mind/spirit abides within each human soul & but only must be self-revealed.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 8, 2014I'm not sure there is anything else I've ever read that had more wisdom per page than this book. There was for me beauty and comfort and inspiration that has brought me back to read this again and again. I was originally given this book as a present and have in turn bought this as a present for friends multiple times. Thank you, Paul Ferrini, for opening my heart and my mind.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 10, 2019Wonderful, powerful insights.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 22, 2024This book is not about the biblical Christ of Nazareth. It’s about a new age Jesus. I read this ten years ago and it deceived me. It is absolutely channeled, demonic, esoteric psychobabble. It’s for those who don’t want the Jesus of the gospel. It’s really odd how every critical review is deleted. Christ isn’t here to make you feel good, He’s here to call you to a higher standard.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 10, 2014I purchased mt first copy almost 20 years ago and have given away at least a dozen copies to friends. This one is given away, too. Probably will buy more!
- Reviewed in the United States on October 27, 2013A powerful book that makes me look closer to my spiritual side with warmth and truth, by taking a closer look at each and every one of us on this planet including myself.
