People used to think our brain's "plasticity," or its ability to learn by growing neural pathways, became fixed in our youth. Researchers of the human brain have proved this information is false. Our brains are capable of unlimited learning and growth. Similarly, the ancient Christian Church taught that the story of Jesus's resurrection was fixed--that there was only one correct way to believe.

More DescriptionPeople used to think our brain's "plasticity," or its ability to learn by growing neural pathways, became fixed in our youth. Researchers of the human brain have proved this information is false. Our brains are capable of unlimited learning and growth. Similarly, the ancient Christian Church taught that the story of Jesus's resurrection was fixed--that there was only one correct way to believe. The 1945 discovery of the Gnostic Gospels changed this way of understanding the risen Jesus and provided a different way to grow as his disciples. Over seven decades have passed since that mind-blowing discovery, and yet the Christian Church's doctrine of the resurrection remains virtually unchanged-it is bodily resurrection or bust. Why is the Christian Church so fixated on a physical afterlife? What does our growing knowledge of consciousness have to teach us? Why are the mystical arts considered so taboo? In his most thought-provoking book yet, Keith Long reveals how and why an open-minded, skeptical believer and ordained pastor like him decided to ditch the doctrine of a bodily resurrection for good. Stepping into what some Christians might consider heretical territory, Long discerns doors of perceived danger and personal truth in a disarmingly honest fashion, and boldly opens them for the sake of learning. If a growth mindset is as important to you, then join him for some curious expansion, careful examination, and courageous experimentation in Growing Spirit Wise: A Heretic's Guide to Resurrection and Eternal Life.
