The Aquarian Gospel of Jesus the Christ
by Levi H. Dowling
First published in 1908, The Aquarian Gospel of Jesus the Christ is one of the most influential esoteric texts of the modern era. Written by Levi H. Dowling, a minister, physician, and mystic, the book claims to reveal the "lost years" of Jesus, drawing from visionary inspiration and ancient wisdom traditions.
Unlike the canonical gospels, Dowling's work places Jesus within a broader spiritual landscape: he travels through India, Egypt, Tibet, Greece, and beyond, studying with sages and masters of the world's religions. The narrative seeks to harmonize Christianity with Eastern philosophies, presenting a universal Christ who teaches love, unity, and spiritual evolution. For readers interested in mysticism, comparative religion, and the search for hidden truths, The Aquarian Gospel remains a fascinating and inspiring text. It is both a spiritual classic and a cornerstone of New Thought, Theosophy, and metaphysical Christianity.
