David Robert Ord has, for 20 years, spoken and taught to traditional congregations about Jesus Christ. He has now broken with conventional images of Jesus. This book explains Ord’s concept; that the man called Jesus is a mirror of the true essence of each of us.

Stories from the bible (the New King James version) are used to illustrate how Jesus focused on the essential goodness of the individual, whereas the religious institutions tended to rub people’s noses in their failures. The following passage, taken from this book, explains Ord’s message in more depth.

‘Seeing how often people veered from being true to their essential goodness, the priests imagined that folk needed to be washed down before their goodness could again shine through. They engaged in an elaborate system of ceremonial washings and sacrifices to make things right. Jesus antagonised these priests by pointing out that these rituals intended to restore a sense of goodness, backfired. These sacrifices and washings made people feel inferior, not clean. People imagined that their mistakes rendered them worthless.’

Ord is adamant that we all have the same potential to be the loving, joyful, peaceful person that Jesus was reported to be. To spread light, as he did, is a potential part of our true nature. Your Forgotten Self explains how to better understand ourselves, to celebrate our possibilities.
