Christianity 2.0 is a new take on Christianity with some innovative approaches to spirituality. The result is a religion that attempts to remove perceived flaws from traditional Christian beliefs and replace them with love and positivity. As a basis for the arguments in Dorsey’s book, the powerful research of Dr. David Hawkins is repeatedly and reverentially considered, especially the Map of Consciousness. This fascinating tool is used to assign a numeric value to everything from social trends to biblical figures, offering a tangible scale that can quantify emotional values and a person’s integrity. Beyond thought-provoking integrity scores, this book offers several tools to guide individuals on their personal spiritual journey. Dorsey touts these methods with lyrical passion, even if audiences might find some of them controversial. For instance, the use of psychedelics as a means to stretch toward enlightenment is not a new concept, but in this case, Iboga is extolled, though the experience is not necessarily achievable or legal. Readers who sense their spiritual hunger will appreciate the vitally important section that helps with challenges to and questions of faith in a straightforward manner. Current trends are evaluated, scriptures are considered, and difficult topics are not ignored. However, certain issues lack authoritative sources or evidence to back the claims. As an example, the author specifies that people are automatically assigned one or more guardian angels depending on their level of consciousness number, but where that information was obtained remains unclear to curious-minded people. Throughout the book, John Dorsey maintains an enthusiasm for these beliefs and writes with a persuasive and upbeat voice. A particularly moving testimonial section, A Story of Salvation, shows many of the book’s primary ideas put into practice.
Any way to spread truths, positivity, and love is refreshing in today’s challenging world, and that is exactly what Christianity 2.0 concentrates on. Negativity can be like a prison and this book provides advice on breaking free by clearing out the less-obvious impediments to clarity and contentment. For those unfamiliar with David Hawkins or the science associated with muscle testing, this book doesn’t dive deep enough into these complex concepts, making it unapproachable to most as a stand-alone volume. However, industrious readers willing to put forth extra effort researching the ideas are rewarded with a unique perspective and are urged toward a new denomination. An ardent advertisement for Dorsey’s faith, Christianity 2.0 offers a fresh way to look at ourselves and the direction we are heading.
