The Jesus Trilogy: Choice and Will / Love and Surrender / Beliefs, Emotions, and the Creation of Reality
In this trilogy by Jesus, are three jewels, each shining in its own way and illuminating the same truth: You are not only human but divine, and you are meant to flourish and love one another. In words that are for today, Jesus speaks intimately and directly to the reader of the secrets to peace, love, and happiness. He explains the deepest of all mysteries: who you are and how you can live as he taught long ago. The three books in The Jesus Trilogy were dictated to Gina Lake by Jesus and include Choice and Will, Love and Surrender, and Beliefs, Emotions, and the Creation of Reality.
Choice and Will explores the complex, mysterious, and important question of who or what chooses. The question is important because our choices shape our reality and determine our experience of it.
Love and Surrender explains the role that surrender plays in releasing us from bondage to our conditioning. Surrender is the “miracle” that occurs when we are finally able to let go and let things be as they are.
Beliefs, Emotions, and the Creation of Reality explores the exciting arena of creation. It explains how beliefs determine our internal reality and, consequently, our external reality and how to move beyond limiting beliefs.
Note from the author: I receive the books from Jesus in the same way that Helen Schucman received A Course in Miracles¸ which is also said to be dictated by Jesus, and which many others have received their writings, including St. Teresa of Avila, St. Hildegard of Bingen, Richard Bach, and Neale Donald Walsch. This method of receiving information is also called conscious channeling, but it is not mediumship in which the channel is unconscious and her body is used by an entity. Conscious channeling, or taking dictation, is a process of hearing words mentally and writing them down as they are heard, without any thought on my part. I can receive this communication anywhere. I don’t need to be in a meditative or trance state. All that is necessary is that I don’t think! When I’m receiving this dictation, it is as if Jesus is sitting in a chair next to me dictating the words, except that those words are heard mentally. I can ask questions during this dictation and receive answers, but the process works best when my own mind is completely set aside. Then the flow happens smoothly and rapidly and without interruption until a particular stopping place is reached.
The three books in this trilogy are also available individually and can be read in any order.
From the Introduction: “Choice and will are what make it possible to move out of the negative and limiting beliefs of the false self, which prevent or curtail the possibility of living a fuller, happier, and more loving life. Love and surrender are what are necessary to be in the Heart—in one’s divine Essence—and to live from there rather than from a more contracted ego-bound state of consciousness. Surrender is the mysterious thing that happens when one lets go of, or gives up, the perspective and beliefs of the false self for the true self. It is the miracle I have spoken of in other works of mine.” –Jesus

Review of The Jesus Trilogy by Gina Lake
Review by Dwight Zavitz
Let me begin this review by saying that I had a bias against this book before I read it. As a Christian pastor I tend to be skeptical of modern books that purport to be dictated by Jesus. However, some years ago I read and reread A Course in Miracles and had to admit that whatever my bias, it contained great and powerful truths. And I would certainly say the same of this trilogy scribed by Gina Lake. In fact, I found this book to be an amazing synthesis of eastern and western spirituality and profound psychological insight.
The great philosopher and psychologist Carl Jung has written that Christ is still the living archetype at the heart of the western psyche. He also wrote that the “Christian myth” needed to be expanded and adapted from its ancient form into forms that speak to modern people. Gina Lake’s Jesus does this in a wonderful way. The trilogies’ insights into the sources of suffering and the way to happiness seem to me to be right on target. And the chapter on relationships is the best thing on how to improve our love relationships that I have ever read.
When I read a book that deeply affects me, I take notes on the insights it yields. I did this as I read The Jesus Trilogy on my Kindle. I found myself underlining and bookmarking nearly every page! No joke! And I took nearly 30 pages of notes on “key” insights. This is an amazing book of deep wisdom. Now I would like to share all of those insights with you, but time and space prevent that. Let me just list a few that spoke most powerfully to me:
The key to sanity and happiness in life is following Thy Will (God’s will, the Tao, the Flow) and not my will (the ego).
The ego imprisons us in desires and suffering.
3. Surrendering our ego (my will) and aligning with the Higher Power (Thy Will, God, the Tao) is paradoxically what sets us free to experience joy and peace and happiness in life. (Note: perhaps this parallels the self-emptying of kenosis in the Christian tradition, no-self in Buddhism, and Atman knowing itself as Brahman in Hindu thought.)
4. When we experience the letting go of ego noted above, we realize our oneness with the Divine as children of God. This is the purpose of life!
5. Life is perfect just as it is and we are perfect just as we are. All of us. All the time. Things are unfolding just as they should be. Even our sins and mistakes are ways that we learn though suffering.
6. We have free will and thus to power to change our lives and our destiny as we choose and attract love and peace into our lives and reject the poor choices of our ego desires that attract fear and suffering.
7. We become what we choose — either loving and peaceful, or fearful and suffering. We co-create our world as either a place of love and peace or a place of fear and suffering. (Note: This parallels the insights of A Course in Miracles and the work of writers like Gerald Jampolsky.)
8. Powerful tools for transformation from my will to Thy Will include meditation and self-inquiry because they quiet the go and allow the True Self to emerge and take control.
9. Our ego conditioning from childhood and the pressures of social conformity are the creators of our ego and they drive us to continue to make choices that cause us to suffer.
10. By choosing Thy Will and our true self over my will and the ego, we can gradually jettison our conditioning and attain freedom and peace of mind.
11. We can do this by meditation and self-inquiry and by making the unconscious conditioning conscious so that we can examine it and allow our true self to reprogram us.
12. By the above process we can conquer our suffering, sad “stories,” and relationship and family dramas, and find peace and joy in life. Thus we don’t have to remain prisoners of the past or of our future fears. We can rejoice in freedom in the present.
Well I could to on and on, but let me stop here and suggest that The Jesus Trilogy is, in my opinion, a valuable source of insight as we participate, willingly or not, in what historian Arnold Toynbee called the great moment in human history as the wisdom of the east and the wisdom of the west merge in the grand synthesis that is now in process. Information like that contained in this book is capable of helping to create the transformation of consciousness that must happen if we and our species are to survive and live lives of peace, joy, and wisdom in the decades to come. Only a few brave souls in the western Christian tradition have been willing to speak out about the importance of this great synthesis. One great example is theologian Paul Knitter (Without Buddha I Could Not a Christian, and The Myth of Religious Superiority.). But such voices are few and far between in the modern wilderness of both Christian and Islamic fundamentalism.
In conclusion, I would simply say that whatever the source of the material contained in The Jesus Trilogy, it is certainly profoundly insightful and potentially life-changing. And since we are all ultimately “one in Christ,” I am willing to say that if the Christ Spirit is still speaking to us now, I believe He would say things very much like the teachings contained in this trilogy that bears his name. Bravo! And many thanks to Gina Like!

A wonderful book for your spiritual journey
I often wanted an easier to read version of A Course In Miracles and further explanations of many topics. This author and this book fills that need with clear and detailed exposition of complicated topics in a way making them easy to absorb and process. I loved reading this book and plan on reading many more by this writer.

This isn’t a book. This is an owners manual for being human and navigating this life. Yes, I finished reading this. So now what? I start again. Chapter 1. And when I’ve read it a second time, I will start again. And then again, and again, and again …….
Thank you JC!! And Gina, thank you for always being such a clear channel for us to receive these beautiful teachings.

Gina Lake says that these books were dictated to her by Jesus, so the speaker in the books is Jesus. The books contain truths drawn from Eastern and Western spirituality that can help you live a fuller life by accepting yourself and living in love to others.
