The Review
Prologue
God’s
Magnificent Garden
And the Day of Transition
The Aquarian Gospel reveals many of the mysteries of God and our relationship to Him. Our association with our Father is simple, yet profound, and as youthful offspring, we often find it difficult to comprehend. Yet, we can acquire an understanding by grasping the concept called “God’s Magnificent Garden.”
Here is an explanation:
Many varieties of plant-life can reproduce through "total regeneration." For example, when small cuttings are taken from common flora and inserted into moist soil, they sprout roots and grow, and become perfect reproductions of the parent plant. Some plants, under lab conditions, can totally regenerate by the removal and transplantation of individual cells.
God is Spirit, and we are God’s children, and He reproduces through "total
regeneration." As His offspring, we
are indeed Divine Spirit Cells, removed by our Father, and inserted into soil
(called the physical universe). In this
soil, we are expected to grow and develop, and eventually become mature, adult
descendants of the divine – perfect offspring of our parent – God.
Our souls require many incarnations in the soil of physicality before we can achieve this. Thus, each reincarnation is like a new transplantation. After many lifetimes of learning, all human beings (every one of us) will eventually attain full human growth and maturity – like Jesus (and like Miriam, his lesser known female collaborator). Thus, each of us is destined to eventually develop the ability to instantly cure disease or injury with mental power, and furthermore, we will finally discover how to conquer death itself. Immortality is everyone’s destiny!
The Divine descendant who incarnated on Earth over 2,000 years ago (known as
Jesus, the Christ) was initially inserted into the soil of physicality during
very ancient times (many ages before our
original transplantation).
Therefore, when he incarnated here, he was a very ancient soul, who had
already experienced countless incarnations before this Earth was even formed;
and thus, he had previously acquired immense wisdom, understanding and
maturity. As a mature child of God,
Jesus had become identical to our Father – living an incarnate life. He came to Earth as our elder brother – much
elder.
Our Lord was sent here to teach us–youthful souls. He brought a message from our Father. The message Jesus brought clearly states that
every one of us will eventually achieve his level of maturity and become
exactly like him (and like Miriam), and they came to show us the way. Their lives are our example of what all men
and women are capable of becoming (and
will become).
What other destiny could exist for God’s Children, other than to
eventually attain maturity, and acquire all the wisdom and power of God – and
become just like our Father? Jesus and
Miriam are our example two souls who finally attained maturity, and became
identical to our parent – God. This is
the ultimate destiny of every human being.
We have no place else to go!
Indeed, we have no place else to grow.
Souls that grow in any other direction (through selfishness) become
sick, and the physical body (in which the soul temporarily resides) experience
sadness, stress, ailments and pain, and the intensity of this misery is always
directly proportional to the extent of the selfishness (and deviant
soul-growth). For ages, we (youthful
souls) have been unaware that self-indulgence is the cause of unhappiness (and
irregular soul-development), and so we have continued in our ways (during each
incarnation) and our souls have continued to experience wayward growth (during
each incarnation). Imperfect, unhealthy
growth of soul always brings these unpleasant consequences: pain, incapacity,
sorrow, and death. These are the wages
of sin.
Furthermore, human groups (such as cities, nations, religious associations and commercial enterprises), which encourage a culture of selfishness and excessive carnal gratification, experience these same dreadful consequences, and they become sick in spirit, and if they do not reform, eventually, they fail and pass away.
Our Divine Father’s plan calls upon us to learn how to conduct our lives in a way that promotes perfect, healthy growth of soul. He wants us to learn how to live a sinless life (the life of Christ), as Jesus and Miriam demonstrated. However, human souls must achieve a certain threshold of maturity before they can comprehend Christ’s message, and follow The Way. In order to attain this required level of maturity, our souls undergo a gradual process of learning.
For example, during each lifetime in the physical realm, we carry subconscious memories of our past lives, including memories of unpleasant, fearsome consequences we have suffered due to selfish living; and therefore, we experience a sense of trepidation when faced with opportunities to repeat previous modes of selfishness, sensuality and transgression. And so, gradually, we learn to live less selfishly (less sinfully), as our incarnations pass by… one after another. This is how our souls slowly attain the required threshold of maturity.
Furthermore, the unpleasant consequences of deviant soul-development are very distasteful us (and unsightly to God) and so, between incarnations, He mercifully grants us opportunities to recover. He accomplishes this by burning away all wayward growth. This purification process is not pleasant, and the duration and intensity of this procedure is also directly proportional to the degree of deviation. Our subconscious memories include recollection of these unpleasant experiences. (Many childish nightmares are flashbacks.)
After human souls are cleansed of delinquent, unwholesome development, each one moves on – to one’s next incarnation, and then, on to the next (each re-incarnation being like a day in the long life of a soul); and by divine plan, we eventually re-experience every situation in which we had previously chosen selfish paths. In this way, we are given opportunities to choose differently – to make unselfish (sinless) choices, which promote suitable, healthy growth of soul. (We often need to re-experience a situation many times before we “get it right,” and thus we are sometimes strangely aware that we have previously faced certain situations, and we call this peculiar awareness déjà vu.)
God’s plan calls upon all his children to eventually
attain perfect and complete maturity of soul, by finally achieving a totally
sinless incarnate life – as Jesus demonstrated.
Indeed, our Father requires this of us.
Because He requires this (and because He owns Eternity) the sinless life
of Christ is everyone’s eventual destiny.
We truly have no place else to
go.
Sometimes a person wanders extremely far astray (deep into selfish and sensuous ways and dreadful crimes), resulting in extreme distress and misery, and this soul’s colossal, unsightly, errant growth becomes utterly ugly in God’s eyes. If He deems such a soul to be irredeemable, this unwise person, after passing on, must linger in the purifying fires until nothing remains except the original Divine Cell; and then, this indestructible, eternal sacred seed must begin anew. (Thus, a person may lose his or her soul, yet there is a part of every person that can never be destroyed, because we are God’s offspring.) (This “worst nightmare” is so fearsome and unpleasant; prophets and masters have called it “the second death.”)
Fortunate (more mature) souls gradually awaken to the fact that God truly is our Father, and He requires that we become mature (sinless) descendants. Souls who are aware of this (who have ears to hear) become devout, earnest and prayerful; and consequently, they receive a great blessing: they experience a pruning process during their incarnate lives. That is, they are given learning experiences, which impel them to give up selfishness. They have advanced beyond the maturity threshold, and can recognize (and follow) The Way. Thus, they avoid the purifying fires, and their existence between incarnations (in the realm of souls) is pleasant and rewarding.
In the Aquarian Gospel, Jesus explains how we can achieve the life of Christ, by learning to continuously grow in the “right” direction – by traveling the path of unselfishness and self-sacrifice – the path that is totally free of the awful snares and pitfalls (known as disease, injury, poverty, stress, grief and death). Our Lord’s life-story demonstrates The Way – the way of life that fosters perfect soul-development, and thus precludes the need for both pruning and purification – the way of life that leads to perpetual tranquility and eternal life. He explains that anyone can follow this Way – by conquering the strong human tendency to revere sensuality and live selfishly.
Thus, the Lord teaches us how to overcome all the voluminous and various forms of selfishness – a very difficult accomplishment. Few souls (at a time) achieve this, yet eventually everyone does, and after one has finally achieved this, sadness and pain no longer exist. Life is full of tranquility and peace; and there is no death! Our Father selects His greatest prophets (and other holy teachers) from those who have achieved this – from men and women who have won The Victory – the victory over the carnal self.
We are eternal spirit-beings, and we have been growing for many ages, yet most of us are still immature and selfish, and thus, we still experience incidents of pain, misery, sadness and gloom, as well as death. Mature (unselfish) souls never experience these. They know that death is merely an illusion, and they know how to overcome it.
Messiah’s strongest desire is to teach us – his younger brothers and sisters – so we may learn to conquer the source of human sadness and demise. He works diligently to convince us to give up carnal gratification and indulgence – the cause of all human melancholy, and the cause of mortality! When a Messiah comes to Earth, he teaches by word and by example. He leads the way, and we must follow.
God sends us a fully mature soul very rarely – at the beginning of every age, and an age consists a little more than 2,000 years. When he comes, he is an elder who can be called Christ or Messiah. He instructs all (who are willing to listen) how to put away selfish tendencies, and thus attain a peaceful, heavenly state of mind. Any person who achieves this never lacks for anything, because he or she has found (and acquired) a field of buried treasure! (Many less mature souls, who are unaware of this, constantly indulge in sensual and selfish ways, and thus, these unenlightened brethren often experience shortages of the necessities of life, and their lives include countless episodes of strife, intrigue, sadness, sickness, and misery.)
Another way of stating the situation is this: Men and women who engage in a life of self-indulgence (the party lifestyle) experience some fun and enjoyment (for a time), but this is foolishness, and if they persist (without reforming and developing a more mature, responsible way of life), they soon experience devastation (wretchedness and want) through ailments, poverty, gloom, anxiety and death.
Some people (wise enough to refrain from the party lifestyle) utilize their superior vitality and intellect to engage in a different kind of selfishness. They seek psychological self-indulgence; and thus, they pursue wealth, power and fame, and often exploit the weaknesses of others. This lifestyle is also utter foolishness, and these exploiters soon suffer fearsome consequences, because God’s Law of Righteousness requires that his offspring utilize their talents to promote love, kindness and peace – in service to Mankind. (And so, by our Father’s law of karma, the exploiters soon become the exploited.)
Christ came to convince us to live a noble, forgiving and self-disciplined life, and thereby follow him in The Way of life that brings us tranquility instead of wretchedness and anxiety, yet the essence of his precious message was somehow lost, and is missing from official Christian Scripture. The Aquarian Gospel of Jesus has only recently been given to us – to restore the essence of Messiah’s message, and help us prepare for his return.
Unfortunately, most of the messages (we see and hear in modern media) promote self indulgence and excessive gratification, and the party lifestyle. These messages (along with many “entertainment” shows) deceive us, and they attempt to convince us to live “the foolish life” of immature souls. These messages glorify violence, dishonesty and hypocrisy. They are the complete opposite of Christ’s message. They can rightfully be called “anti-Christ.” Many of these communications pretend to promote products, but in reality, they subtly encourage us to accept and revere foolish attitudes and lifestyles. Beware of anti-Christ messages.
Deception is the primary tool of the evil one. Ridicule is his secondary tool; ignorance is his third, and fear is his fourth. Thus, Evil does everything in his power to convince us to venerate carnal gratification and irresponsible lifestyles, and he steers people away from precious Truth by heaping ridicule upon those who know, understand (and teach) the essence of Christ’s message, and he works tirelessly to ensure that common people are unaware of the Lord’s precious book (by convincing religious leaders to ignore the Aquarian Gospel) – labeling it as “occult”.
The Aquarian Gospel contains Jesus’ instructions, and this sacred book has been given to us to help us prepare for that extremely rare event – the appearance, on Earth, of a fully mature soul – the return of Messiah!
All who diligently follow our Lord’s instructions will make the transition from immaturity of soul, past adolescence, to young adulthood; and after we have made this transition, we will have learned to abandon most forms of selfishness and self indulgence, and thus, our days of experiencing severe episodes of sadness, disputes, grief and misery will come to an end. We will have learned to put aside all our petty differences. Each of us will finally understand that all other human beings are part of one’s self.
We will comprehend universal oneness, and we will no longer quarrel. There will be no more war on Earth! These marvelous, promised times are not far away. They will occur soon after the Age of Aquarius commences.
Prophecy clearly indicates that current world violence and turmoil and massive disasters, and mysterious, perplexing occurrences in the skies and on the earth (along with an abundance of self-appointed, deluded prophets) – all, signal the conclusion of the current age, and the impending commencement of that new age. We now experience the “end times.”
There will be a day of transition, marked by a momentous event – a Messianic announcement, which will bring world peace – followed by a sorting of souls, and Judgment Day. A close inspection of every human soul on that Day will determine who can attend the coming new age – an age of peace, and an age of magnificent, advanced spiritual learning.
Guided by the wisdom of Christ, we will re-establish clear telepathic communication, not only among ourselves, but also between us and the animals; and we will thereby re-establish dominion over all earthly creatures (great and small). We will guide them, and convince them to abandon aggression – to adopt love, gentleness and peace – and finally, “the lion will lay down with the lamb,” as the meek receive their inheritance!
That wonderful time is not far away. The day of transition is near. Yet, “none can tell the hour nor the day when
man shall be revealed.”
We possessed telepathic abilities and dominion over the animals prior to “the fall of man.” However, like an infant who could not maintain a grasp, we lost our precious abilities (many ages ago) because of selfishness. Judgment Day will separate those of us who are finally prepared to maintain a grip on our inherited God-given abilities, from those who are not.
Jesus’ instructions are now presented to us, in Levi’s
marvelous transcript of Messiah’s life and teachings. His transcription is published as The Aquarian
Gospel of Jesus the Christ – a new book of scripture (only recently given to us)
to help us prepare. This book is the most precious
publication
in History!
Here is my review of The Aquarian Gospel.
Be advised that if you comprehend (and sincerely
strive to live the holy life Jesus describes),
you must
prepare yourself to be regarded, at best, as strange (or even insane) and
worse, you may be spurned (by friends and family alike),
considered
a fool, a failure, and even a criminal. Yet this
isolation will not cause loneliness, for you will hear the still, small voice.
And you will see the face of God.
“Behold, a man found in a
certain field the croppings of a wondrous mine of
gold, and he went forth and sold his home and all he had and bought the field;
then he rejoiced in wealth.”
The
Review
Part I
The Victory – The Pearl of
Greatest Price
In this astounding sacred text, Jesus reveals that death is simply an illusion. He teaches that we, as God’s children, are eternal spirit-beings, and we never really die. We are always alive. However, each of us periodically “wears” a physical body, which is prone to injury, disease and aging, and must soon pass away.
Our bodies (the physical forms in which we temporarily reside) are filled with many selfish and sensuous desires (and egocentric impulses), and we must overcome every one of them. No one ever enters Heaven (a state of mind) until he or she has won this Victory. It’s so simple: anyone, who overcomes all the physical appetites, passions and desires (and does not look back), experiences a life filled with peace and joy, followed by greater happiness hereafter.
Conquering all our carnal cravings is a monumental task, and we must always do our best. Yet, the Lord advised caution; one may attempt complete victory over the carnal self prematurely, or too strenuously. (One who decides to climb the tallest mountain must prepare carefully.) Thus, he said, “take stock of yourself before you start to follow me… and don’t look back. Remember Lot’s wife.”
Now we know why Messiah said, “the
Kingdom is at hand.” Each person
controls his own fate, and anyone who faithfully follows Christ (by completely
vanquishing the selfish self) begins to experience a serene and cheerful state of consciousness
(called Paradise!). All
sadness and grief gradually disappear.
And if one steadfastly adheres to this precious path (without EVER looking back), the joyous serenity grows strong and pervasive (filling one’s life), because he or she has won The Victory. He or she has acquired “the Pearl of Greatest Price.”
The Lord also described winning The Victory as “a wondrous mine of gold.” And it is indeed a treasure, which belongs to all
who (by exercising will power) become strong enough to take possession of it !
Conversely, the Lord explained, when we travel in the opposite direction, by flagrantly and habitually indulging in sensuous pleasures, selfishness and egocentric desires, we are (knowingly or unknowingly) violating God’s Law of Righteousness and we are busy sowing the wind, because we cultivate illusions! When we foolishly do this (by perusing status, affluence and sensual gratification) we eventually experience many awful consequences, which bring restlessness, wretchedness and grief, as we reap what we have sown.
Unenlightened souls are unaware that when devastation comes, like disease and poverty (and all types of misery), we have brought these upon ourselves. We become victims of our own self-indulgence. When we live sensual and selfish lives (with little self restraint), we soon suffer shocking repercussions, because we have chosen to reside “where there is weeping and the gnashing of teeth.”
When we choose to reside there (by allowing carnal, selfish impulses to predominate) we soon experience (by law of nature) the pain and misery of accidents and injuries, as well as physical and mental diseases, misunderstandings, disputes, scarcity and wars, and all kinds of social upheavals, and many kinds of “natural” disasters; and if we fail to reform (fail to conquer our carnal passions and desires) we eventually experience the most unpleasant repercussion of all – the illusion called death.
The story of Sodom and Zeboim (Gomorrah) is the chronicle of a natural disaster that was brought about by one culture’s frequent, flagrant violations of the Law of Righteousness. Many other cities and “lost” civilizations disappeared due to similar repercussions. (And now, during these end-times, we daily witness the awful sufferings of individuals and groups – cities, businesses and states – who pay the awful price for living selfish, indulgent lives.)
The severity of a person’s (or a civilization’s) death-experience is directly proportional to the intensity of the self-indulgent practices. A self-indulgent nation’s demise arrives either by some “natural” disaster(s) or at the hands of another culture’s superior weaponry or simply by mass migration or government corruption, or by a combination of these. (Much of ancient Jewish Scripture describes these kinds of events.) And, of course, the axiom, “whoever wields the sword shall perish by the sword,” is always a factor.
My own cherished nation (and culture) is in danger of perishing. If we do not soon turn away from selfish, indulgent, wicked ways, we will quickly become nothing but a memory – a mere paragraph in other nations’ history books. Wake up America! Devastation and destruction are knocking upon our very door. All nations, wake up! Learn how to reform by studying Messiah’s Book!
The Aquarian Gospel of Jesus the Christ
Messiah taught that self-indulgence of any kind is sin; and “he who sins is slave to sin.” Furthermore, the person who understands this Truth, and adjusts his life accordingly, by winning The Victory, is no longer slave, but is free. The Truth has set him free. (He has recovered from the fall of man.) And he who attains this freedom is truly free, even from death. He (or she) will simply exit the physical body at the proper time, without experiencing that awful trauma we call death.
Not even execution by crucifixion (or some other gruesome torture) can change this, because the person who has obtained this Liberty does not experience the pain that selfish, evil men (in jealous rage) may attempt to inflict. Furthermore, a master soul who willingly endures such abuse (with forgiveness in his heart) has the power to self-resurrect – because he (or she) has become a fully mature child of God, and is therefore given full access to Divine Power.
The Lord advised the apostles that he would demonstrate this. Furthermore, most of them would soon follow him, by forgiving their ignorant, brutal murderers (and many other disciples would also follow this holy but difficult path).
Jesus (the Christ) revealed these simple hidden truths to multitudes. He explained these “secrets of the masters” to anyone (and to all) who were humble enough (and willing) to sit at his feet and listen. Many bowed their heads, sat at this carpenter’s son’s feet, and listened. Many were saved – set free by the Truth.
They sat near Messiah around campfires, and in synagogues, and they sat on grassy places and on floors in farmers’ and shepherds’ homes. Those who understood (and believed) followed him. They strove to overcome the carnal self – because they knew they had found the awesome “treasure hidden a field!” They listened. They followed. They were blessed; and those who persevered became free.
Scores of Jesus’ disciples accomplished what is necessary to buy the precious field of “buried treasure” – they won The Victory. They overcame all the passions and desires of the carnal self, and by winning this vital struggle, they traveled the return path to Eden! They experienced no poverty or sickness (or any other misery), for they had re-entered the Kingdom, from which we all were expelled (when the fall of man occurred – many ages ago).
These Victorious followers of the Lord taught others, and they, in turn, taught still others; and indeed, to this very day, new believers continue to learn The Way, and win The Victory (a few at a time). Thus, the mighty vine of Christ has been continuously growing for 20 centuries, and many people (all who are willing to listen) even now, become new disciples, and choose the straight and narrow path. They follow the Lord by overcoming the selfish self. They return to Eden!
During a period of time (the years between winning The Victory and the time of passing on) these victorious souls reside simultaneously in two domains – in the 4-dimensional world we all know, and in a peaceful, serene realm (of dimensions beyond) called Paradise. Jesus found this place of eternal peace and joy while yet a boy, and he spent the remainder of his earthly life teaching others to follow – as Messiah always does.
All triumphant followers of the Lord have entered the joyous realm. These blessed men and women do not experience poverty, accidents, disease or disasters (nor even death!). When earthly work is done, they easily and painlessly discard the human physical body (casting it off, like a worn out jacket).
Then, they continue residing in a serene and peaceful region of the great beyond, called Eden – The Garden of Paradise. This is a tranquil transition. There, peace and joy are magnified; and they go on, to learn greater lessons.
Souls who have returned to Eden no longer require their roots to be embedded in the soil of physicality.
They are able to obtain perpetual nourishment directly from the mystic energies of God.
This is “Eternal Life,” which belongs to all who faithfully follow Messiah. (And we follow him by following his example of love and forgiveness, and by following his advice to overcome the strong human tendency of self-indulgence.)
Those who have attained Eternal Life are given important, sacred duties. After a period of learning in the realm beyond, these victorious souls re-enter the physical world (by re-incarnating), and their assigned responsibilities include teaching others: guiding “lost souls” to the sacred walkway – the return path to Eden – the trail blazed by our Savior. These teachers are “the laborers in the field,” and there are always a few of them among us. (“The harvest is great, but the laborers are few.”)
These gifted teachers eventually pass on, yet they return to earthly life again, and again, always teaching; and this cyclical process continues for numerous incarnations, until each triumphant soul becomes a very skilled and proficient servant of the human race, and a superior teacher, and is recognized as a sage and master, and sometimes, as a prophet (or prophetess). For example, Jesus declared that Elijah (also known as Elias) reincarnated on Earth, and he was Messiah’s harbinger – called John the Baptist.
Finally, each master-soul goes on… to several incarnations of highly advanced learning – to eventually become a perfect teacher (with extensive access to divine power), like Jesus, and like Miriam.
Yes, this is true. Every child of God eventually becomes just like our Father, and attains access to all the powers of God – because God and Man are One (just as seedlings and cutting-sprouts are one with the parent-plant).
Jesus and Miriam are examples of what we – all – will eventually become!
When a Messiah comes to Earth, God (our Father) sends him to us, to demonstrate (to all who are willing to take notice) the oneness of God and Man. He sends a Messiah (a unified pair of fully mature souls) periodically – at the commencement of every age. An age consists of about 2,010 to 2,050 years. Thus, a new age is very near. This truly is “the dawning of the Age of Aquarius.”
Messiah is about to return! And Judgment Day looms.
Jesus explained to his disciples that both he and Miriam were (and still are) examples of everything all of us will eventually become, because they are our elder brother and sister, and they achieved perfection – showing us The Way. And this is how all men and women eventually become One with God (and this is the Christ – our destiny).
Furthermore, everyone who has succeeded, and is living the holy life (the life of Christ) eventually (after many blessed incarnations) incarnates into a world (selected by God, our Father), and becomes not only a Christ, but also Messiah – a public demonstration of Christ; and Messiah can demonstrate man’s ability to conquer death.
When this is accomplished, ”It is Finished.” A Perfect Man stands before God, and no more incarnations are required. Immortality is achieved.
Notice that there is a difference between Eternal Life and
Immortality. After Eternal Life is
achieved, Immortality becomes the goal.
Whenever a superior master-soul has reached the stage where he is prepared to become a Messiah, God (our Father) can always find a world for him (in unbounded space) that is due to receive Imannuel; and there, he (and she – his female complement) incarnate. Together, they live “the perfect life,” and achieve Immortality. (Every couple’s destiny!)
God selected this world (2,000 years ago) for Jesus and Miriam – two superior master-souls – spiritually bound together, as one.
This is the plan of Salvation! (Now revealed, during these times of Revelations – Reveal-ations.) And this revelation of our Father’s plan (described in the little book – the Aquarian Gospel) is indeed sweet as honey in the mouth, but bitter to digest – just as the book of Revelation describes.
By this awesome plan, all of God’s Children eventually
attain immortality. What else can become
of God’s offspring, other than to eventually attain full maturity, and become
exactly like our Father (as Jesus did, and as Miriam did)? Full maturity, perfection and immortality are
the goal of every one of our Father’s descendants – the destiny
of every human being!
Even the most selfish, depraved and vicious criminals
(convicted or not), after experiencing death, soon incarnate again, and
gradually learn better ways. After many
arduous and difficult incarnations (reaping what they have sown), they
eventually learn to live virtuously and become blessed and holy, and follow the
path of Christ, because
God, our Father, never abandons a single one of His children (and He owns
Eternity).
Each earthly life is brief, and is much like a day – in the long life of a human soul. And if we diligently make good use of our talents every “day,” we make steady progress on the souls’ long, arduous trek to perfection.
The life-story of Jesus and Miriam is a pattern and example, for us youthful souls to emulate. They are elders, who have attained full human maturity. And, to this day, they (and other mature souls) continually watch over us, guiding us (their younger brothers and sisters) to the ways of true human adulthood (the Way home, to God – our Father).
Furthermore, once in a great while, all
people (who have achieved a certain level of soul-maturity) are invited to
attend a magnificent, sacred school – an era of accelerated spiritual learning
– in a heavenly, joyous environment, right here (in the earthly realm). The coming Age of Aquarius is that school; and Judgment Day will
determine who can attend.
Jesus’ mission
was to reveal these truths (and much more) to all who would listen.
He clearly stated:
“He who believes this Gospel of the Son of man shall never die.”
Through the
Aquarian Gospel, the still, small voice has spoken – a mighty trumpet has
sounded a mighty blast, silent.
Who have ears to hear,
let them hear:
Judgment Day is truly Near.
It’s coming fast,
It’s imminent.
How soon is imminent?
None of us can know. We must
always do our best to be prepared. The
unprepared will suffer the grief of banishment from Heaven (the Aquarian
Age). How prepared must one be? Jesus advised: “To whom much has been given, much is
required; and to whom a little has been given, a
little only is required.” Each must do
his best.
However, winning The Victory is extremely difficult,
requiring extraordinary dedication and perseverance, and thus our Lord said,
“take stock of yourself before you start to follow me….and don’t look back,…remember Lot’s wife.”
He also advised:
"None can know the hour nor the day…keep watch at every season of the
year,... let not your hearts be overcharged with sensuous things, nor with the
cares of life, lest that day come and find you unprepared...and pray (each day)
that you may meet the Lord with joy, and not with grief." (ch. 112 vs. 16, and ch. 157 vs.
38, 39)

The Review
Part II
Recovery from The Fall of Man
This
section is a summary of
The Aquarian Gospel message, based on
The Magnetism Analogy
Attention: All
who wish to understand “the mystery” – all who long to know the sacred truth!
Every human being is required (by God, our Father)
to recover from “the fall of man.” Every
one of us fell, and each of us must recover from the fall. Messiah is one who has recovered, and he
comes to show us the way. Salvation is
the plan by which each person is given the opportunity to follow Christ – to
recover from the fall – to return to our natural residence.
We fell because we succumbed to temptation, and
recovery is achieved only by retracing our steps.
The fall of man can be described by using the
analogy of magnetism. Consider a
powerful bar magnet. If iron filings
come “too close,” they come under the influence of the magnetic field, and they
“fall” onto the magnet’s surface; and there, they are stuck.
Adam and Eve (and all of Humanity) once resided in a
heavenly realm – called Eden. From this
delightful domain, we could see the physical realm, but our Father advised us
not to approach the entrance to the corporeal region, for if we did, He said,
we would be expelled from our heavenly home, where there is eternal peace and
joy, and where there is no death.
Furthermore, He said, we would not know how to return to our pleasant
natural dwelling.
However, as inexperienced, immature souls, we liked
what we saw in the physical realm. We
were attracted to all the pleasures we saw in the four-dimensional
universe. We saw physical beings there,
enjoying “the fruits” of that terrain – like luscious food and beverages, cool
lakes and streams; partying, dancing, drunkenness, and gaming; the accumulation
of personal wealth and lavishness; and we were captivated by the enjoyment of
carnal love. We (youthful children of
the divine) gravitated toward the physical.
We were mesmerized, and we soon forgot the advice of our Father – God.
Thus, we craved an
opportunity to taste the pleasures of physicality, and we decided to bite into
“the apple.” By our own choice, we
approached the entrance to the physical domain.
We reached forth for “the forbidden fruit.”
We fell through the aperture. We fell through the tunnel-like vortex that
connects the spirit world to the physical realm. A powerful force of nature quickly took hold
of us and drew us to the place we desired to investigate. We were like iron filings that came too close
to a magnet.
For many ages we have been stuck here – on the
surface of this, the four-dimensional physical locale. Yet, all the pleasures (that appeared to be
here) have turned out to be temporary, illusionary and disappointing.
Here, in the corporal world, when we explore the
abundant meadows of carnal pleasure and sensuality, we experience just a few
fleeting moments of enjoyment; then the gratification quickly disappears, and
we are left feeling unfulfilled, unhappy, dissatisfied – alone and afraid.
Furthermore, we pay another awful price – there are many
unpleasant and painful consequences of our frequent forays into fields of
physical gratification. We know them
well. They are disease, accidents,
injuries, catastrophes, arduous childbirth, forgetfulness, ignorance,
enslavement, misunderstandings, mistakes, deception, depression, disputes,
resentments, scarcity, war and death (the complete opposite of Eden!).
Ever since we fell, we have longed for a better
existence. Yet, we cannot remember Eden;
nor can we recall our fall. We have no
idea how to escape the unpleasant physical dominion – laden with frequent
disappointments, frustrations, sadness and violence. The “iron filings” are held fast to the
surface of the magnet, confused and in frequent pain and turmoil – and in
darkness – unaware of the fall (that happened so long ago).
In desperation, we sometimes cry out to God. Our Father hears our calls.
Every person (who strives to be kind and sincere,
and cries out) is eventually reminded of the fall, and the place where we once
resided. These fortunate ones (who have
ears to hear) are taught how to overcome the persistent power that binds us
fast to the cold, brutal steel surface of physicality – “where there is weeping
and the gnashing of teeth,” and every type of grief.
God, our merciful Father, sends us a soul who knows
how to free himself.
He sends us a Savior – one who has escaped before. This magnificent mature soul reincarnates,
fully armed with the knowledge of how to liberate himself
from the force that holds us in bondage.
Soon after his birth into the physical realm, he
recalls his precious wisdom and understanding, and he escapes again (yet he can
simultaneously remain here for a while).
He spends the rest of his stay on Earth showing us (all who are willing
to listen) how to free ourselves – by diligently adhering to a certain way of
life.
This mighty master-soul (filled with power, wisdom
and love) is called Christ, the Messiah, and Immanuel. A Christ comes to Earth at the beginning of
every age.
The Age of Aquarius is about to commence; and we can
prepare for Messiah’s return (and Judgment Day) by studying his previous
visitation.
Let’s take a look at Christ’s previous visitation:
Our Father’s plan allows a person to return to Eden
(a state of mind), while simultaneously living here – on Earth. Therefore, our Lord (Jesus) re-entered the
heavenly realm (while still a boy) and he steadfastly remained there, as he
simultaneously continued dwelling here, teaching many disciples how to follow –
how to return to Paradise. Thus he said,
“The kingdom is at hand.”
Anyone who earnestly listens and pays heed to
Messiah’s instructions (by adhering to “the holy Way of Life”) discovers many
astonishing benefits, because he (or she) has acquired “the field of buried
treasure.” Furthermore, he (or she)
returns to the heavenly consciousness, and re-discovers eternal life.
The teachings of Jesus (Christ, the Messiah) are now
available to anyone who wishes to read and pay heed. His book, The Aquarian
Gospel of Jesus the Christ, tells us how to escape the strong force that
binds us to the physical realm. His book
clearly explains what we must do.
He taught that we can overcome the force that
binds us – by conquering our addiction to physical pleasures. We must depart, and leave behind, the
crumbling walls of self-indulgence and carnal gratification. We must abandon these two sins (symbolized by
the two cities of the plains in ancient Jewish Scripture) and we must not look back. This is how anyone (who has ears to hear) may
travel the Return Path to Eden.
Traveling the path to Victory requires great will
power and perseverance. Refraining from
“looking back” requires even more. It’s
not easy to overcome the magnetic-like force that drew us here.
The wonderful (yet difficult) pathway to Paradise is
the trail Jesus blazed for us (shortly after he incarnated here). He never wavered from the straight and narrow
path. Indeed, our Lord adhered so
perfectly to the holy walkway, he became synonymous
with the return path to Eden. Thus, he
said, “I am The Way,”…and “you may follow me.”
Anyone who successfully follows him has acquired
“the pearl of greatest price.” Only a few
(at a time) find enough strength and perseverance. Yet, in eternity, everyone eventually does, … and we must
always do our best!
Every human soul (after winning The Victory) is sent
on a long, marvelous, joyous journey, encompassing numerous blessed incarnations
(of intense spiritual learning), and then each one is finally given the task of
incarnating into a world (somewhere in unbounded space) and becoming a Savior
of that world. This is the destiny of
every man! – the destiny of every woman!
Jesus and Miriam experienced many incarnations of
advanced spiritual learning before they incarnated here 2,000 years ago. Their life-story is a preview of the life
each of us is destined to eventually live (in far distant times, in far distant
places). What other destiny could exist for God’s Children? – His offspring! –
His own descendants!
Each of us will eventually become exactly like our
Father-Mother–God!… as did our elders, Jesus and
Miriam.
We have no place else to go.
Messiah taught us how to pray. He indicated we should use God’s own language
– that is, we should pray in Silence, speaking telepathically to our
Father. And this is what we ought to
say:
Our Father-God
who art in heaven; holy is thy name.
Thy kingdom come; thy will be done on earth as it is done in heaven.
Give us this day our needed bread;
Help us forget the debts that other people owe to us, that all our debts may be
discharged.
And shield us from the tempter's snares that are too great for us to bear;
And when they come, give us the
strength to overcome.
