Thirty Pieces of Silver: Trust, Betrayal & Transformation

This book is a transpersonal study of Judas, Jesus and Simon Peter as it applies to the understanding of our human-divine nature. Judas, Jesus and Simon Peter are symbolic of the universal human experience of trust-betrayal-transformation. The Judas experience is cyclical in that it moves from naïve unconscious trust into reactive tragic betrayal and cynical controlled repetition or into transformation. The critical choice then becomes whether the individual victim or betrayer becomes a cynic and a repeater of the cycle, or whether he or she sees the transpersonal choice of the Jesus’ experience of transformation, which is displayed in Simon Peter. The hidden purpose of the Judas (ego) experience of naïve trust and tragic betrayal is the divine transformation found in Simon Peter.
