Dylan Morrison
Dylan Morrison is an Irish spiritual author and out of the box Yeshua thinker, now resident in the beautiful cathedral city of Lincoln, England.
A high school mathematics teacher in a previous incarnation he unexpectedly became an author after two mystical experiences gate crashed his humdrum life back in June 2004.
Dylan writes from an inspiring stream of consciousness, particularly for those damaged by or just curious about the psycho-spiritual religious world.
His aim is to remove the religious packaging from around the Jewish prophet-teacher, Yeshua bar Yosef, by inviting his readers into a practical experience of the Nazarene's radical, but inclusive spirituality.
Dylan's first book 'The Prodigal Prophet', a 'Wizard of Oz' meets Bunyan's 'Pilgrim's Progress', details his roller coaster journey in search of the Divine in the often whacky yet deeply tragic world of Irish Charismatic religion.
Dylan's second book 'Bolts From The Blue', an inspirational daily reader on the mystical search for meaning is now available in paperback and Kindle editions.
'Way Beyond The Blue' is Dylan's third book, a book for both mind and heart. Rooted in the often neglected practice of Christian mysticism, Irish contemplative, Dylan leads us into an exploratory roller-coaster tour of our inner and outer psychological landscapes.
Recently published, 'Matrix Messiah' is possibly Dylan's most controversial book to date, examine as it does the human predicament and the Nazarene, Yeshua bar Yosef, from the perspective of mimetic theory and transpersonal psychology. The hidden message of history's leading religious icon sheds new light on our most human of problems; rivalry and its resulting violence.
Dylan's wife Zan is glad that he writes - it gives her a few hours each day to enjoy the resulting peace and quiet that his literary endeavours require.
“Surely God loves to get out of church buildings and go visit people where they hunger for reality.”
“In retrospect, I now believe this expected donation of ten percent of income to the Fellowship was based on bad exegesis of an old Jewish taxation law that Jesus Himself seemed to completely ignore.”
“The message of the Nazarene had been turned into a weapon in some religious power game. 'Look how they love one another' just didn't seem an apt description of the bizarre religious theatre I'd just witnessed.”
“When I look back on my life I come to one simple conclusion: there exists an intelligent, loving Presence in the Cosmos that will ultimately have its desire for relationship with us fulfilled; even our arrogant dismissal of its existence will not stop it in its tracks. The Enlightenment's god, the great idol of free will, lies smashed in pieces in its wake. The jealous Presence patiently draws us homeward like some gigantic electromagnetic beam. The Death Star in reverse. This divinity is, I believe, the 'Abba' of Jesus, a transcendence that will not be boxed in by religious misrepresentation...”
