The Way of Transformation, a collection of Jeshua's teachings, faithfully transcribed from the original audio recordings. It forms the fourth volume of the five essential 'Way of Mastery' texts. Jeshua shares: "The Way of Transformation... is that pathway that begins with a commitment to healing and awakening, and is founded on the premise that you are perfectly free at all times. And everything that is experienced has been by your choice. And at no time has there been any other cause." His invitation to us is to wake up from every illusion that we have ever been separate from God, and to remember the deepest Truth of who we are: Christ. This is the only authorized version, precisely it was first given and including the original question and answer sections. Nothing has been added in the transition from audio to text: no chapter titles appear, nor themes given to sub-sections - for He gave none.
