 65. Patricia Pearce - A Newfound Mystic & Former Presbyterian Minister, Who Wrote Beyond Jesus Explains How Misunderstanding His Message of Self Empowerment Has Stopped Our Own Spiritual Growth Host: Enoe A. Brown, Mar 6, 2025

 

Listen to Patricia Pearce , who was born into a Christian religion, and who later became a presbyterian minister, leading her own ministry at Tabernacle United in Philadelphia. Until a close friend died, she was led through several synchronicities into a new understanding about her spiritual beliefs about Jesus and her work as a minister and her own work in the church. She resigned from her position and now leads a life with a new understanding about what Jesus 's life and teachings are really supposed to do. She says she downloads information from spirit and is told his work had to do with helping us understand what our own abilities were about, and how far we take them, not about how to make him into a far off spiritual icon, that we can't relate to, and abandon our own spiritual development. We will speak about her encounters with other spiritual masters of today, and how our views of spirituality are changing and expanding, so that even science is coming to understand spirituality through quantum physics, and much more.
