The Secret Second Coming - Doyle, Patricia

. .

Résumé :
What if we had writings directly from Jesus? The Secret Second Coming is a journey into the discovery of one of the most incredible events of our time. A little-known event that, according to Jesus himself, represents his second coming. In the early part of the twentieth century, writings claiming to be by Jesus were received through psicografica (Brazilian for spirit-to-mortal written communications). The mortal was James Padgett, a Washington D.C. attorney and Methodist Sunday school teacher, in his senior years. These messages are introduced in The Secret Second Coming and their authority is thoroughly examined, especially in relation to the authority of the New Testament. How do we know whether or not these messages from Jesus are real? What makes them different from other channeled material? What are the criteria for judging and who decides? What are the origins of Biblical resistance to communication with deceased spirits?Where does true spiritual authority come from and how do you recognize it? In addition to answering these questions, The Secret Second Coming reveals:*convincing evidence of life after death by scientists and lawyers,*that profound knowledge can come from paranormal states of consciousness,*that we can communicate with our loved ones who have passed, and*that we can establish a personal relationship with a loving God. In The Secret Second Coming, the author combines extensive academic research with personal stories of the four events which uniquely qualify her to write this book: an NDE that converted her agnosticism into non-religious, unshakable faith in God, and three profound encounters with Jesus inviting her to participate in the revealing of his second coming. It is beyond doubt that spirits and mortals communicate, and that spirits know just what mortals are doing on earth and how to influence them in their loves and actions. -Jesus, III:83...

Biographie:
Patricia Doyle has been studying consciousness and the afterlife since the early 1960s after a manifestation at a s?ance led her to pursue spiritual truth with cautious enthusiasm. She was agnostic in 1974 when she had an NDE and was enveloped in God's Love and Presence. In 1976, she had a transformative experience with Jesus, and was astonished when invited to participate in the revealing of his second coming. Six years later, when introduced to the messages through Padgett, Jesus visited her again to verify them. Two years later, she was appointed president of the Foundation dedicated to these profound messages. Patricia's NDE was published in Searchlight in 2012 by the Academy for Spiritual and Consciousness Studies. In 2013, her essay, Encounter with God: Prophecy, Spiritualism and the Old Testament, appeared in the Journal for Spiritual and Consciousness Studies. She retired from the University of Puget Sound as Coordinator of the Physics Department and Dual-Degree Engineering Program.
