A message from the Sounds of Silence
Translated by
Michael F. O’Keeffe
Traditional Christian doctrine
teaches that Jesus was God Himself, incarnate, as a man. The Aquarian Gospel reveals that Jesus was simply an
extraordinary man who was so dedicated to love, kindness, personal
responsibility and humility, that his soul merged with
the Divine. He became virtually indistinguishable from God. His mind and his will became fully
synchronized with God’s mind and will, and he was therefore given all the
powers of God. This is soul-maturity,
and all human beings are capable of this.
Furthermore, Jesus taught that every person, after experiencing many
incarnations, is destined to achieve this.
As God’s own Children, what else could be our destiny?
One can achieve soul-maturity by following
the path Jesus walked, and if you comprehend this, you may be ready to walk the
Return
Path to Eden

The information presented
here is more valuable than a vast goldmine, and if you comprehend, you are
blessed, for you
possess precious wisdom. Most (of the world) are
oblivious to this priceless knowledge, and most do not care to know.
Who was Jesus Christ? He was a man, a child of God (as are we), and
he had reached maturity (adulthood of soul).
He had grown, to become like
our Father – all wise, all loving and all powerful (after many incarnations of
learning).
Our Lord said he is simply
our elder brother, and by following him, we too are capable of attaining deific
maturity.
Leading the way, Jesus (our
Lord and Savior) showed us how we may save ourselves (by overcoming).
We must conquer our addiction
to all carnal pleasures and sensuality (as he overcame).
By winning this important
victory, we set good example, and thus, we travel
the straight and narrow path,
following the Lord.
Anyone who begins walking
this mystic trail
soon comes upon a secluded field
and discovers hidden croppings
of a wondrous mine of gold,
and he quickly goes
and sells all he has
and buys
the field.
Acquisition of this awesome
meadow symbolizes
perseverance (adhering to the straight
and narrow path).
Perseverance is essential to
attaining the victory; and thus,
perseverance is the price of profound,
unlimited, hidden treasure.
And this is how we recover from The Fall of Man; each individual must
redeem himself. Christ is a man
who, long ago,
redeemed himself, and his task (during his final incarnation) was to show us
The Way.
Announcement
A
Silent Trumpet Has Sounded A Thunderous Silent Blast.
God has given us a new book of Scripture:
“The Aquarian Gospel of
Jesus the Christ.”
Transcribed by Levi H. Dowling
The complete, uncensored, unabridged story of The Life of
Christ
“He who
believes this Gospel of the Son of man shall never die,”
and eventually, he or she will inherit
all the powers of our Father.
Jesus and other mystics explain how every person can recover
from The Fall of Man.
This Newest Testament is given to us to help us prepare.
It is God’s solution to the dreadful problem of
History-revisionism.
Here is a book
review, based on a 24-year study.
This review is
a summary of the book that re-unifies
Judaism and
Christianity; and unites all cultures and
traditions, which cherish truth, kindness,
peace,
decency and liberty; and clearly explains why
all human beings are God’s Children.
The
Aquarian Gospel tells us how to prepare
for the coming terrible turbulent times,
and Judgment Day.
This book tells us how to overcome.
This precious book is nothing less than
“The
Little Book” – described in Revelation 10.
Levi’s
sacred transcript discloses many mystical mysteries,
and these disclosures are sweet to consume, but bitter
to digest (during these times of Revelations)!
A Review of the Aquarian
Gospel
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,
most of us find it difficult to comprehend.
Yet, we can acquire an understanding by grasping the concept called
“God’s Magnificent Garden.”
Here is an explanation:
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. Many
types of vegetation can replicate this way, and Scientists call this kind of
reproduction “total regeneration.” Some
plants, under lab conditions, can totally regenerate simply 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 Divine Spirit Cells, removed by our Father, and inserted into fertile soil
(called the physical universe). In this
soil, we are expected to learn, grow and develop, and eventually become mature,
adult descendants of the divine – perfect offspring of our parent – God.
We require many incarnations in the soil of
physicality before we can achieve this.
As we learn and grow, our souls periodically call for new containers and
refreshment of soil. Thus, each
reincarnation is like a new transplantation.
After many lifetimes of learning, all human souls
eventually attain full growth and maturity – like Jesus (and like Miriam, his
lesser known female co-laborer). Each of
us is destined to eventually develop the ability to instantly heal disease and
injury with mental power, and furthermore, we will finally learn how to conquer
death itself. The Aquarian Gospel (Jesus’ own book) shows us The Way!
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, many ages
before our original transplantation).
Therefore, when he incarnated here, he was an extremely ancient soul,
who had previously experienced countless incarnations; and thus, his soul had
already attained maturity.
As a mature soul, Jesus was granted his inheritance
– divine power, divine wisdom, and divine love – the trinity-bequest. And so, as
an adult child of God, Jesus had become identical to our Father. He had become a full-fledged Son of God –
living an incarnate life. Therefore, he
came to Earth as our elder brother – much elder. His mission (his assigned task) was to live a
perfect incarnate life, while guiding less mature souls – (teaching us to
follow him) – so that we may take giant steps forward,
becoming like him. (This would be his
final incarnation.)
Thus,
our Lord was sent here to teach us – his
youthful brothers and sisters. And,
by so doing, he delivered a message to the whole world (to all human souls
mature enough, and willing, to listen and comprehend). The message Jesus brought clearly states that
every one of us is destined to 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). We have no place else to go.!!
What
other destiny could exist for God’s own children, other than to eventually
attain full maturity, and acquire all the wisdom and power of our Father, and
become exactly like Him? (As Jesus did,
and as Miriam did.) Jesus and Miriam are
our example of two human souls who finally attained full maturity, and became
identical to our Father – God – the ultimate destiny of every human being!
Make
no mistake: our maturation process is a very long indeed. Most of those who are totally oblivious to
the knowledge described herein are destined to endure many, many incarnations
before they are prepared to accept and comprehend these profound truths. Furthermore, those of us who now accept and
comprehend are not far ahead of the ignorant ones. We too have much learning to achieve,
requiring multiple incarnations. And
during each earth-life we must strive to walk the straight and narrow path more
perfectly, until finally, each of us lives a perfect incarnate life (as Jesus
demonstrated). But beware: sometimes an
enlightened person takes a giant step backwards – like Judas.
And
so, now, during these decisive times, we can finally know what it means to be
God’s children. We are learning how to become like our
Father!! We certainly have no
place else to go! Indeed, our souls have
no place else to grow. Growth in
any other direction always leads to misery, sadness and death.
As
God’s offspring, we have the power to direct our souls’ growth. By choosing to harbor certain kinds of
thoughts, a soul grows in certain directions.
The person who cultivates thoughts of selfishness (envy, hatred,
dishonesty and sensuality) causes his soul (and personality) to grow in that
direction, and if he ignores natural warning signs (that he is “headed for
trouble – going the wrong way”), he will continue this wayward growth, and thus
will become increasingly selfish and dishonest, and eventually, he will find
himself (or herself) living an evil life.
This is how God’s own offspring are capable of becoming criminals and
hypocrites of the worst kind.
Christ,
who said, “Follow me,” harbored only noble, unselfish, honest thoughts. Whenever selfish, envious or dishonest
thoughts occurred, he chose not to harbor them.
He gave them no energy; he simply refused to cultivate them, and he
proactively filled his mind with thoughts of blessedness, kindness, helpfulness
and love. In this way, he was always
vigilant – on guard against all selfishness and evil, and he combined this way
of life with daily fasting and prayer; and thus, his soul continuously grew
toward kindness and love – toward Godliness; and this is how he eventually
achieved the pinnacle of deific maturity.
Souls
that grow in selfish directions become sick (mentally, spiritually and
psychologically), and soon 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).
Jesus,
who lived a perfect, selfish-free (sinless) life, never experienced sickness,
injury, poverty or pain; and after allowing selfish, evil (jealously enraged)
men to kill his mortal flesh, he demonstrated his power over death – he resurrected; and he triumphantly
showed his risen self to many who had followed him (and also to the foolish,
jealous rulers who had orchestrated his execution).
His
mission was to teach us, so that we may learn to conquer death. Thus, he taught that we must learn to think like our Father!!,
as he had learned (because thought is the power of creation). He taught that thinking selfishly is sin, and
that the person who thinks selfishly soon behaves selfishly, because behavior
is the child of thought. He taught that
banishing all selfish thoughts from one’s mind is a monumental task, and the
only way one can learn to accomplish this is by following the instructions of one who has learned; and his book, The Aquarian Gospel, shows us the way.
Thus, he said, “You may follow me.”
For
ages, we (youthful souls) have been unaware that the cultivation of selfish
thoughts is the source of all 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); yet all of
our ignorant foolishness has helped us learn – because we are always learning, especially by our mistakes. As our incarnations pass by, we eventually
realize that harboring selfish thoughts creates selfish (sinful) behavior, and
produces the following unpleasant consequences: pain, incapacity, sorrow,
irregular soul development and finally, death.
These are the wages of sin.
Thus,
sin is simply selfish thinking (and the behavior that selfish thinking
creates). And selfish thinking,
unchecked, begets more selfish thinking and soon this wayward path leads to
monstrous sins and inequities.
Furthermore, human groups (such as cities, nations,
religious associations and commercial enterprises), which encourage a culture
of selfish thinking, soon degenerate into all kinds of self indulgence and
sin. Their awful crimes eventually become
exposed, 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 requires that we to learn how
to live a sinless, unselfish life (the life of Christ), as Jesus and Miriam
demonstrated. However, we (human souls)
must achieve a certain level of maturity before we can understand (and accept)
this requirement. Only then are we prepared
to make the decision to engage in The
Struggle – the struggle to attain a sinless, unselfish, holy life (by
following The Way…the way of the Lord).
In order to achieve the required threshold of
maturity (and develop understanding, and become willing to pursue this vital
struggle) our souls undergo a very long, 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 fear and trepidation when faced with
opportunities to repeat previous modes of selfishness, sensuality and
transgression, and we gradually learn to make better choices, And thus, 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 consciousness, maturity and understanding that is
required. (We finally become aware that
we must engage in The Struggle.)
Furthermore, because the distasteful consequences of
deviant soul-development are so unpleasant for us (and so unsightly unto God),
He mercifully grants us opportunities to recover. He accomplishes this by burning away all
wayward soul-growth (between incarnations).
This purification process is not pleasant, and the duration and
intensity of this procedure is proportional to the degree of deviant growth. Our subconscious memories include
recollection of these unpleasant cleansing experiences. (Many childish nightmares are flashbacks.)
After human souls are cleansed of delinquent,
unwholesome growth, 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, each person eventually re-experiences every situation in
which he or she had previously chosen selfish paths (so that we may have
opportunities to properly re-create ourselves, by making better choices – by
choosing to think like our Father).
Thus, 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 finally decide to make the
right choice, and 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 full, wholesome and complete perfection (maturity of soul) – by finally
achieving a totally sinless incarnate life – as Jesus demonstrated. Indeed, our Father requires this of every one
of us. Because He requires this, and
because he burns away deviant soul-growth between incarnations (and because He
owns Eternity), the sinless life of Christ is everyone’s eventual destiny. We truly have no place else to go.
When a person wanders extremely far astray (deep
into selfish, sensuous ways and dreadful crimes, resulting in extreme distress
and misery), 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, the soul, like a bush cut back to its
root, sprouts again.
And so, a person may lose his or her soul, yet deep
within the root of every soul there is a part that can never be destroyed,
because we are God’s offspring. (Each soul’s original divine cell is
eternal). Loss of soul (our “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 that He requires us to 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 between
incarnations. Their time in the realm of
souls (between incarnations) is pleasant and rewarding. (This is heaven.)
In the Aquarian Gospel, Jesus explains how we can
achieve the life of Christ, by learning to continuously grow in the “right”
direction – 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, warfare, 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 all 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 (often including warfare and various forms of violent
death).
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 much more mature,
responsible way of life), they soon experience many devastating consequences,
such as ailments, poverty, gloom, rage, anxiety and death.
Some people (while wise enough to refrain from the
party lifestyle) often make a different kind of dreadful mistake: they
utilizing their superior vitality and intellect to engage in a different kind
of selfishness. They pursue
psychological gratification. That is,
they seek to attain worldly wealth, power, lofty social status and fame; and in
quest of these goals, they often exploit the weaknesses of others, and trample
on their rights.
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, unselfishness, 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,
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 this
precious message was somehow lost, and is almost entirely missing from official
Christian Scripture. The Aquarian Gospel (only recently given to us)
restores the essence of Messiah’s message, and enables us to 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 encourage us to remain weak. Thus, most media shows and messages glorify
indulgence, deception, stupidity, aggression and hypocrisy.
These messages are the complete opposite of Christ’s
message; and they can therefore rightfully be called “anti-Christ.” Many of these communications pretend to
promote products, but in reality, they subtly (and sometimes unashamedly)
encourage malevolent attitudes – by portraying foolish, sinful lifestyles as
acceptable, normal and preferable.
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 sensuality 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 making it seem fearful – labeling it
as “occult”. (And by
ignoring it.)
Thus, most religious leaders and modern media have
been convinced to ignore (or denounce) Messiah’s publication; and many
spiritually inquisitive people have opted not to examine this sacred book,
because of the fearsome “occult” label.
They have fallen victim to Evil’s four primary
weapons – deception, ridicule, ignorance and fear.
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, greed 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.
Thus, Judgment Day will be like a major
rearrangement of souls – many (those who are prepared) will be guided into
broader, more fertile fields. Souls
displaying significant selfish growth will be uprooted.*
Then, 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.”
In summary, we are God’s seeds, planted in a soil of
His own design, and whenever we incarnate in the physical realm, we have been given
opportunity to grow and develop into mature children of the divine. However, when we chose to live selfish,
scandalous lives, we are merely utilizing the divine powers within us to grow
awkwardly – to send shoots in ungainly, gnarled directions; and thus we become
more deeply embedded in the soil, instead of growing tall and straight,
reaching heights well above the surface.
Those who keep the Ten Commandments naturally tend
to grow strong, straight and tall – into
the light of understanding, knowledge and wisdom; and after many incarnations
(developing within this nurturing radiance) these blessed ones eventually
achieve divine maturity (like Jesus).
Every God-seed finally achieves this.
None are lost in eternity.
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 grasp 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!
This concludes the prologue of my review
of the Aquarian Gospel. Here is the review.
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 total victory 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 like discovering “a
wondrous mine of gold.”
Conquering one’s carnal self 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 thus 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 bought the precious field, and 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.
Yet, God requires these holy
ones to sometimes return to the physical realm, to
teach others (lost souls) to follow
them. These are great prophets.
And, as an age commences,
one is called Christ, the Messiah.
The life of Christ brings “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. And when a holy one
finally lives the life of Christ perfectly (from his first breath, til his last), he is called a Messiah, and he can conquer
death – can self resurrect. Once this is
accomplished, Immortality has been achieved.
No more incarnations are required!
Here is a brief review of how Eternal Life leads to
Immortality:
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.
Our Father-God loves to hear from us. He always listens to the telepathic
frequency, which we, his children, share with Him. Anyone who diligently and frequently
transmits holy thoughts to God (like the prayer above) eventually develops the
ability to hear His replies.
(In the Silence.)
Jesus showed us The Way!
Christ, a fully mature soul, lives a
perfect life, and thus his soul grows perfectly. We all must learn to achieve this. And after one finally achieves this, no more
incarnations are required.
Here is
Wisdom:
Whenever a person recovers from “The
Fall of Man,” he (or she) becomes aware that The Fall was actually a mental
condition – a trip of the mind – a kind of insanity. In our “fallen state,” we thought physicality
was reality, but it was not. It was only
an illusion of our minds, brought about by our disregard of our Father’s advice
– not to taste “the forbidden fruit,” – not to consume food from “the
tree of knowledge of good and evil.”
Our Father knew we would disregard His
advice, for as “free spirits,” we had to find out for ourselves. Thus, when He deposited us in the soil of
physicality, He actually let us initiate the
transplantation process (by our decision to bite into “the apple”).
This essay was inspired by two decades of studying
the Aquarian Gospel.
P.S.
Our Savior explained to many
disciples that: The Son of Man is a Son of God!
Because God and Man are One!

A Review of the
Aquarian Gospel
The Review
Part III
Return of Messiah and
Judgment Day
Our Lord clearly indicated that, as Judgment Day
approaches, many huge catastrophes and extensive appalling violence and warfare
would pervade the earth, and many would brawl and kill without reason –
just for the sake of shedding blood. “And pestilence will follow close upon the sword.” Strange sights and sounds would occur on
Earth, and in the sun and moon and stars.
Are we not now witnessing numerous massive disasters
and meaningless, ghastly incidents and horrible conflicts? …as
well as frightening outbreaks of infection and disease? …and mysterious
sights and sounds on land, sea and in the skies?
The current prevailing devastation and appalling,
violent confrontations are the wages of sin – consequences of a nameless
worldwide belief system that honors moral degradation and self-indulgence. This malevolent philosophy promotes
faithlessness, ignorance, gratification, deceit and selfishness, and disregard
of spirit-law, and fosters the worship of materialism, greed, financial and
physical prowess, and all kinds of moral deviation and sensual depravity. (Much like the days of Noah, and the time of
Lot.)
Furthermore, indulgence in alcoholic beverages (and
other intoxicants) is often promoted and revered as a time-honored way of temporarily
escaping from one’s troubles, duties and burdens. Nothing could be further from the Truth. This is
part of The Big Lie of pop culture, and this tradition is a favorite tool of
the evil one.
The mass media of these end times promote numerous
immoral and self-destructive customs.
Through many obvious (and subtle) messages contained in advertising and
entertainment shows, selfish, malevolent practices are elevated, honored and
revered. Thus, many people are duped, as
they are subtly (and effectively) invited to adopt foolish attitudes and wicked
ways.
Even infanticide is sometimes portrayed as a noble
deed and a civic duty, as media “experts” devise clever ways to package and
present this very worst of crimes with euphemisms. Thus, we have in our culture, the term,
“partial birth abortion,” which is simply a sugarcoated way of describing the
killing of a newborn.
However, people who have carefully studied Scripture
understand God’s ever-present laws of repercussion and recompense. They know that each of us (His children) must
reap the harvest from seeds each has sown, and that no one is exempt. Thus, it’s no wonder we now witness many
horrific incidents of rage, brutal attacks and confrontations, and horrible
wars, along with devastating mega-storms and many other “natural” disasters.
Through media deception (and by other means), the
evil one tempts us during these “hi tech” times, and we can see the results of
his success. Furthermore, publications
like The Da Vinci Code sow seeds of doubt among
people who might otherwise seek wisdom and Truth in Judeo-Christian
Scripture.
Our attention has been diverted from precious wisdom
and sacred Truth. Few (now) seek the
messages of God, given to us in the Psalms of David, the words of Solomon, the
Four Gospels, and now beautifully presented in the Aquarian Gospel.
Due to malevolent, catastrophic cultural values
(spread primarily by mass media), proud nations have become mired in foolish
conflicts, and our youthful men and women, who have been cajoled into adopting
reckless lifestyles and self-destructive attitudes, are at the forefront of
these gruesome campaigns, as they delve deeper into the dismal abyss, sometimes
giving in to one of the evilest temptations of all – to commit murderous
atrocities.
And hypocrisy runs rampant, as the very same
media-entertainment industries, which work tirelessly to promote degenerate
moral standards, react to these massacres with an air of self-serving moral
indignation – as they denounce unenlightened leaders who have sent morally
unprepared youth to confront insane practitioners of terror.
Behold the hideous, awful stew!!
– created by materialism, self-indulgence and creeds of hatred. (And media-entertainment companies continuously
stir the pot.)
However, there is good reason for hope, for Jesus
clearly stated that, even though the prevailing catastrophes, wars and violence
(of these end-times) will continue to escalate, seemingly
beyond human endurance, Christ (the Prince of Peace) will finally intervene by
making an announcement. Everyone on
Earth will hear… He will say again, “Peace, Peace on Earth, Good
Will to Men!”
Every person (without exception) will know who has
spoken, and immediately, all the appalling viciousness and turmoil will cease
(as all weapons are instantly abandoned), and Messiah will command the terrible
storms, pestilences and rumblings of the earth to quit, and he will expel the
evil one.
Judgment Day will occur, as the Age of Aquarius
commences; and peace will reign, marking the end of warfare on Earth; and
finally, “the lion will lay down with the lamb,” as the meek receive their
inheritance.
None can know the hour nor the day.
“As the days of Noah were,
so shall the coming of the Son of man be.”
Now we can understand the true meaning of “the New
Age,” a term that has often been misunderstood, and often
ridiculed, due largely to false publications and media deception.

The Review
Part IV
Consequences and
Repercussions
Messiah made it crystal clear
that:
Self-indulgence is the root cause of all
accidents, catastrophes, injuries and disease, and is the source of all
mistakes, misunderstandings and disputes, as well as every type of grief. Furthermore, certain types of self-indulgence
are so flagrant, the grief may last for several incarnations – such as when one
willfully and treacherously inflicts serious injury upon another, or takes one's life.
In addition, anyone who persistently
indulges in deceit (and does not reform) brings an awful punishment upon
himself: he renders himself incapable of recognizing Sacred Truth – the Word
of God; and he (or she) develops into a hypocrite – unaware.
Hypocrites are often
shrewd and crafty and seem wise, but they are foolish. Blinded by their own deceitful and indulgent
ways, they regard a man of God as evil, deranged and criminal; yet, they are
incapable of realizing that they are criminals, as they seek to punish Messiah (or any
holy person); and they would even take his life. (Can anyone be more foolish?
…or more criminal?)
Consider the repercussions of taking the
life of a holy person: those who murder a prophet or prophetess (or any servant
of God) have committed an enormous sin; so tragic that their excruciating grief
can persist for dozens of incarnations, as they wander the earth as outcasts
(nation-less and scorned); and their physical lives are often brutally taken…by
men who truly are deranged.
Furthermore, they are completely “in
the dark” concerning why they must suffer so. They have no conscious memory of their evil
deeds, and they are unaware of the law of karma; all because anyone who rejects
Christ has also rejected enlightenment – the wisdom and understanding of
Christ.
Thus they live many lives believing that
revenge is justice; and consequently, they experience a self-made hell, filled
with violence, hatred and retaliation – concluding with extreme bitterness,
accompanied by a tragic death (not just once, but many times).
These are the awful repercussions
garnered by those who viciously maltreat and slay God’s servants. (These
consequences are an awful harvest – grown from awful seeds sown.) Such dreadful karma must come to such murderers,
because karmic law
(God’s perfect law of justice) never fails.
(Can anyone be more foolish?!)
Jesus gazed forward in time (through
centuries that were yet to come) and saw all the ghastly consequential suffering
that would be endured by many of his fellow countrymen and kin, who were about
to take his life (and later, the lives of many disciples); and this is why,
five days prior to his arrest and swift execution, he paused and wept
over Jerusalem.
Messiah deeply loved Israel and all the
people of Jerusalem (including those who sought his life). He viewed the
treacherous and wicked ones the same way God, our Father, views hypocrites and
murderers – as foolish children (immature souls) at play – unaware of
karma and awful consequences (that can persist for dozens of
incarnations).
Yet neither God, nor Christ (a Son of
God), ever removes free will from any person or group, even if they are
determined to commit a sin, so huge and horrific, that natural repercussions
will bring them many incarnations of ghastly pain and suffering (in darkness).
(Certain leaders and a murderous mob in
Jerusalem were so determined to commit the horrific execution of Messiah that
they even chose to release a serial killer, rather than cancel the crucifixion of
Christ.)
Thus, Jesus did not weep for
himself. He had overcome fear of death,
and he had conquered dread of appalling cruelty (and he reaffirmed these
victories in Gethsemane). Christ knows death is an illusion; and, in
addition to his ability to heal the sick and raise the dead, he can dispel pain
(including his own). Thus, he shed
tears, not for himself, but for ignorant, foolish brethren who had rendered
themselves incapable of comprehending enlightenment and the word of God – and
incapable of recognizing Messiah. The
Lord often stated that,
“none but the pure in heart can recognize the King.”
He knew the wicked ones were about to
learn a hard and bitter lesson,…a lesson they would not fully comprehend until
many centuries later, when, on the Day of Reckoning, they would look back
through time and see how they perpetrated, upon themselves, generations
of horrible suffering.
Our Lord revealed to a few disciples that
“the
anti-Jewish times” would not conclude until Messiah’s return is
imminent – and Judgment Day looms.
By cultivating
either valiant or selfish motivations
(behind all that we
say and do),
we create our own heaven, or hell, or a mixture of the two.
The wise man or
woman always speaks and acts
from a heart filled with honorable intentions.
Filling one’s
heart with such inspirations
consists of arduous tasks,
requiring frequent, strenuous prayer and
meditations.

Here’s an active
Christine Church Congregation – founded by Minister, Jacob Israel
Part
I
Before Jesus began his
ministry in Palestine over 2,000 years ago, his harbinger, John, prepared the
people to meet the King of kings. He prepared
the people of Judea, Samaria and Galilee – all (in those
regions) who were willing to listen.
Now that the Lord’s return is very near, another harbinger has already
come and gone. However, he left a book
for us (to read and study) – all (on Earth) who are willing to listen (so
that we may know how to prepare).
This most precious book is commonly known as “The Aquarian Gospel.” (It has been translated into many languages.)
This Newest Testament is
for people who wonder about profound things.
Some people wonder and some do not.
Do you often wonder about things like: What is the true mystery of
life? Is there really a God? If He truly exists, why does He allow us to
experience pain and suffering?…especially the
children?, and What happens after death?
If you often wonder about such things, the Aquarian Gospel may be for
you, because anyone who carefully reads this book (with a sincere attitude and
an open mind) will find clear answers to all these questions (and more).
If you have a strong desire to know the answers to
these questions, Ye have sought the truth, and Ye have found it! The Aquarian Gospel is the most precious
document ever recorded. Indeed, it is
certainly the most important book ever written, and the greatest story
ever told.
However, this awesome book is not for everyone. It’s only for those who truly want to
know. This astonishing sacred text is
simple, yet profound, and one must read carefully. The Aquarian Gospel has been available for
nearly 100 years, yet many readers during the past century failed to read
carefully (or approached with a prejudicial attitude), and thus, failed to
comprehend.
Part II
Genuine Priests and Ministers
(Why most modern Christian Churches have ignored the Aquarian
Gospel)
Christian believers who feel devastated by numerous
reports of degenerate crimes and depraved lifestyles of many
priests and ministers can now take comfort, for God has given us this new
book of Scripture. In this amazing
sacred book, The Aquarian
Gospel of Jesus the Christ, Jesus clearly states that an official priesthood
and elaborate ceremonies are useless and unnecessary, because each person can
simply go into “the closet of his (or her) soul,” and talk to God – and learn
how to listen – in the Silence. No one
needs a priest as intermediary, because anyone can establish a personal
relationship with God (our Father) and be “priest unto himself.”
Indeed, Jesus stated unequivocally that many priests
and ministers (ordained by institutional religions) are not genuine priests and
ministers (in the eyes of God). He
clearly stated that a genuine priest or minister simply lives a kind and loving
life (in a quiet way) and does not need special clothing (or a certificate) to
designate him (or her) as a priest or minister.
He taught that no one needs to dress up in fancy,
priestly clothing or in ceremonial garb, or chant pious chants, in order to be
a priest. The measure of whether or not
one is a priest-genuine is based on how one conducts one’s life. If one is sincerely kind and loving to all
other human beings (and other forms of life), and sets good example (by being
self disciplined and by keeping the Ten Commandments) then he or she is a
priest, and his (or her) good example is ministry to all.
Thus, a genuine priest or minister… “is like a light upon a lamp stand.” Our Lord invited all men and women to become
genuine priests and ministers.
And so, it’s easy to understand how Jesus’ teachings
angered (even enraged) many ordained, certified priests of his time, and
furthermore, it’s easy to comprehend why most modern Christian churches simply
ignore (or denounce) the Aquarian Gospel, and why many have tried to label it
as “occult.”
Jewish faithful who are skeptical need only to
read. Jesus’ deep roots in Jewish
culture, tradition and religion are clearly established in the first few
chapters; and the careful reader cannot fail to recognize that the record of
Jesus’ entire life and ministry (now revealed in this sacred book) establishes
him as the spiritual leader of the world, and the greatest prophet who ever
lived.
Furthermore, those who have studied the Book of
Revelation are aware that, in that mysterious final book of the Christian
Bible, Jesus implores believers to “overcome” (several times).
The Aquarian Gospel reveals exactly what Messiah meant by this.
My review of the Aquarian Gospel
is an editorial summary of Levi H. Dowling’s precious transcript. It is based on more than 2 decades of study,
and it touches on a few of the most profound Revelations disclosed in this
amazing “end times” publication.
This review includes a description of the final days – the days
preceding Judgment Day – very
near.
This review is, at times, repetitive, for emphasis
and clarification.
Part
III
The Aquarian Gospel is, in fact, a totally
accurate and remarkably comprehensive transcript of Jesus' life. The
writer (called "the transcriber") succeeded in viewing Jesus’
entire life (by opening the Book of God’s Remembrance) and he carefully
recorded our Lord’s astonishing epic on paper. This marvelous sacred
Gospel does not contradict Christian Scripture – it illuminates and
authenticates both Christian and Jewish Scripture.
In recent times, some authentic psychics and remote
viewers have clearly demonstrated that they can help solve crimes, or locate
and view distant objects and events (geographically distant and distant in
time). Levi viewed 2000-year-old events,
which occurred nearly half way ‘round the world. He can certainly be called the greatest
remote viewer (or greatest psychic) of all time (except, of course, for Messiah
himself).
However, Levi had help. He developed his abilities through decades of
practicing meditation, prayer and fasting.
Furthermore, he was sent to us, in order to give us this Newest
Testament. He is a messenger from God.
Levi’s book is God’s solution to the corrupt work of
History-revisionists. Ancient (and
recent) Scriptural editors have so twisted, polluted and diluted the story of
Christ, that only a small portion of Messiah’s original message remains within
modern editions of Christian books.
However, Truth is strong and vibrant.
No matter how well it is covered or buried by deception and lies, Truth
always breaks through whatever pavement men have used to conceal it.
Thus, the Aquarian Gospel is simply the latest in a
series of books of Scripture that God has given us, in order to restore the
Truth and Wisdom that evil minds attempted to banish from the world. It is indeed “The Newest Testament.” Remember: the Book of Revelation tells us of
someone who would be strong enough to open a book, and it describes a little
book that is sweet as honey in the mouth, but bitter in the belly.
If you have serious doubts about my assertion that
the Aquarian Gospel is a new book of Scripture (“the little book” that was foretold),
just read this Newest Testament (carefully and completely) and you will
know. Any astute, sincere person who
carefully reads this sacred text will realize it is authentic and genuine – a
true, accurate and comprehensive account of Jesus’ life (and therefore, the
most precious document of Human History).
Furthermore, the careful, sincere reader will experience the sweetness,
as well as the bitterness.
The Aquarian Gospel is, in a way, “the Holy
Grail.” Anyone who reads and comprehends
(and succeeds in living the life Jesus describes within) drinks from this
precious cup, and has attained Eternal Life.
The authenticity of the Aquarian Gospel is certified
in a unique way. This sacred Gospel
simply vouches for itself (in a way that no other holy book ever has). Anyone who reads and comprehends simply knows
it is authentic. Its authenticity is self-evident.
Yet, not everyone recognizes this. The authenticity of the Aquarian Gospel becomes
obvious only to those who sincerely invest the time and effort required – to
carefully and comprehensively read Messiah’s story (which can rightfully be
called his autobiography). Yes, I say
“autobiography,” because our Lord wrote his own story (by living it), and he
knew a perfect transcript would eventually be published.
Levi H. Dowling (1844-1911) learned how to gain
access to "the Akashic Records," also known
as "the Book of God's Remembrance." He “opened” this mystical
recording and peered back in time, and witnessed the entire life of Christ; and
he carefully documented every pertinent event (because much of the human race is now mature
enough to comprehend). He spent many months
transcribing. His transcript is the most
important document (and the most precious book) ever written.
One very interesting statement in the Aquarian
Gospel is Jesus’ reference to a nation that, at that time, did not yet exist,
and his hint of what this unnamed
nation will eventually become, after its peoples and its leaders realize
the Aquarian Gospel is what it is – a new book of Scripture, and
clearly, the most important publication in History.
Jesus described the return path to Eden:
11) There is a way that leads unto the perfect life; few find it
at a time.
12) It is a narrow way; it lies among the rocks and pitfalls of the carnal
life; but in the way there are no pitfalls and no rocks.
13) There is a way that leads to wretchedness and want. It is a spacious way
and many walk therein. It lies among the pleasure groves of carnal life.
14) Beware, for many claim to walk the way of life who
walk the way of death.
Some Biblical references to
reincarnation – American Standard Version 1901
Jeremiah 1:5
5Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee, and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee; I have
appointed thee a prophet unto the nations.
Matthew 11:12-15
11Verily I say unto you, Among them that
are born of women there hath not arisen a greater than John the Baptist: yet he
that is but little in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he. 12And
from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and men of violence take it by force. 13For
all the prophets and the law prophesied until John. 14And if ye are
willing to receive [it,] this is Elijah, that is to
come. 15He that hath ears to hear, let him
hear.
Daniel 12:13
13But go thou thy way till the end be; for
thou shalt rest, and shalt
stand in thy lot, at the end of the days.
Matthew 16:13-16
13Now when Jesus came into the parts of Caesarea
Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Who do men
say that the Son of man is? 14And they said, Some
[say] John the Baptist; some, Elijah; and others, Jeremiah, or one of the
prophets. 15He saith unto them, But who
say ye that I am? 16And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.
Matthew 17:10-13
10And his disciples asked him, saying, Why
then say the scribes that Elijah must first come? 11And he answered
and said, Elijah indeed cometh, and shall restore all things: 12but
I say into you, that Elijah is come already, and they knew him not, but did
unto him whatsoever they would. Even so shall the Son of man also suffer of them. 13Then understood the disciples that he spake unto them of John the Baptist.
John 8:56-58
56Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day; and he
saw it, and was glad. 57The Jews therefore said unto him, Thou art
not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham? 58Jesus said
unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was born, I am.
John 9:1-3
1And as he passed by, he saw a man blind from his birth. 2And
his disciples asked him, saying, Rabbi, who sinned, this man, or his parents,
that he should be born blind? 3 Jesus answered,
Neither did this man sin, nor his parents: but that the works of God
should be made manifest in him.
Vs. 3 above is an example of attempts to delete references to reincarnation from the Bible.
The Aquarian Gospel now reveals to us (during these times of Revelations)
exactly what Jesus actually said in response the question: Jesus
responds - AG 138:4-13
Here are three references to the prophet, Elijah.

2 Kings
2:11
11 And it came to pass, as they still went
on, and talked, that, behold, [there appeared] a chariot of fire, and horses of
fire, which parted them both asunder; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into
heaven.
Malachi 4:5
5Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the great and
terrible day of Jehovah come.
Luke 9:7-8
7Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was done: and he was
much perplexed, because that it was said by some, that John was risen from the dead; 8and by some, that Elijah
had appeared; and by others, that one of the old prophets was risen again.

Proverbs 8:22-31
22Jehovah possessed me in the beginning of his way, Before his works of old. 23I was set up from
everlasting, from the beginning, Before the earth was.
24When there were no depths, I was brought forth, When
there were no fountains abounding with water. 25Before the mountains
were settled, Before the hills was I brought forth; 26While
as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields, Nor the beginning of the dust
of the world. 27When he established the heavens, I was there: When he
set a circle upon the face of the deep, 28When he made firm the
skies above, When the fountains of the deep became strong, 29When he
gave to the sea its bound, That the waters should not transgress his
commandment, When he marked out the foundations of the earth; 30Then
I was by him, [as] a master workman; And I was daily [his] delight, Rejoicing
always before him, 31Rejoicing in his habitable earth; And my
delight was with the sons of men.
Jesus attained full human maturity during countless
incarnations. He did not bury his
talents in the ground, but rather, he used what he had, and gained (as our
Father requires). Through faith, prayer,
diligence and exercise of self-control, he overcame; and this is maturity. After he attained maturity, God (our Father)
sent him back to this earth, for one final incarnation – to live the life of
Christ, and achieve Immortality.
Likewise, each one of us will one day attain human
maturity, and be sent back (into a world selected by God) to live a life of
Christ (a Messiah), and achieve Immortality.
“The Mystery” has been revealed! (during
these times of Revelations).
The Aquarian Gospel (the life-story of Jesus and
Miriam) clearly demonstrates how each man and each woman will eventually
achieve this destiny. What other destiny
could possibly exist God’s Children?
Isaiah 40:29,31 (American Standard Version 1901)
29He giveth power to the
faint; and to him that hath no might he increaseth
strength. …31but they that wait for Jehovah shall renew their
strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be
weary; they shall walk, and not faint.
Revelation: Chapter 10 – American Standard
Version 1901
1And I saw another strong angel coming down out of
heaven, arrayed with a cloud; and the rainbow was upon his head, and his face
was as the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire; 2and he had in
his hand a little book open: and he set his right foot upon the sea,
and his left upon the earth; 3and he cried with a great voice, as a
lion roareth: and when he cried, the seven thunders
uttered their voices. 4And when the seven thunders uttered [their
voices], I was about to write: and I heard a voice from heaven saying, Seal up
the things which the seven thunders uttered, and write them not. 5And
the angel that I saw standing upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his
right hand to heaven, 6and sware by him
that liveth for ever and
ever, who created the heaven and the things that are therein, and the earth and
the things that are therein, and the sea and the things that are therein, that
there shall be delay no longer: 7but in the days of the voice of the
seventh angel, when he is about to sound, then is finished the mystery of God,
according to the good tidings which he declared to his servants the prophets. 8And
the voice which I heard from heaven, [I heard it] again speaking with me, and saying, Go, take the book which is open in the hand
of the angel that standeth upon the sea and upon the
earth. 9And I went unto the angel, saying unto him that he should
give me the little book. And he saith unto me, Take it,
and eat it up; and it shall make thy belly bitter, but in thy mouth it shall be
sweet as honey. 10And I took the little book out of the angel's
hand, and ate it up; and it was in my mouth sweet as honey: and when I had
eaten it, my belly was made bitter.
11And they say unto me, Thou must prophesy again over many peoples
and nations and tongues and kings.
“The
Little Book,”
The book that reveals God to the world.
(Why is it
sweet and yet bitter?)
God has indeed given us a new book of scripture, because
these are the times of Revelations; and many mystical mysteries are revealed in
this sacred book. The relationship
between God and Man is no longer a mystery.
Now we can understand that, as His offspring, we all will eventually
mature and be granted all the powers of our Father (like Jesus); because we are
eternal spirit-beings, and this is our inheritance. This revelation is the sweetness.
The bitterness is the realization that winning The
Victory is extremely difficult. This
prize is known as “the pearl of greatest price” for good reason. We have a very long and arduous trek ahead of
us. There are many difficult obstacles
along The Way, yet we indeed have “no place else to go” (as Peter said to
Jesus).
Many believers (especially those of Judeo-Christian
traditions) find the information revealed in the Aquarian Gospel to be
disappointing (as it digests). We had
“pinned our hopes” on God doing most of the work for us. We had become comfortable with the notion
that all we had to do was to live one good earthly life, and if we did
our best to obey the commandments, then God would take over, and welcome us
into eternal Heaven.
The Aquarian Gospel tells us that we must do all
the work! And it tells us that we
must experience many more incarnations before we achieve immortality. Each individual child of God, through much
hard work, learning and dedication, must achieve Salvation. God simply shows us the way. Through his superior, more advanced and
mature children (the prophets and Christ), He lights up “the Way;” but we must
travel each step along this lengthy and difficult path. THIS is the bitterness. We want our Lord to do the work for us,
because we are Lazy.
Many Christians have long held dear the belief that
when Christ died for us, he atoned for all believers’ sins, and the gift of his
sacrifice on the cross has freed us from guilt.
However, the Aquarian Gospel tells us that Jesus spent his life showing
us how to forgive ourselves. He traveled
the way of the cross as a demonstration of what every one of us must eventually
do: atone for ourselves, by giving our lives in sacrifice – demonstrating to
others what he demonstrated to us – the life of Christ. This Truth sets us free, and is food for our
souls, but this Truth is bitter to digest.
Levi’s transcript was first published in 1908. It is most commonly published as
“The
Aquarian Gospel of Jesus the Christ.”
More about sweetness and
bitterness
This “little book” contains the life story of Jesus
(as well as that of Miriam) and their story is indeed sweet, awesome and
beautiful. As very mature souls, they
performed wondrous deeds, far beyond what we consider “normal human
potential.” Furthermore, their story includes
the revelation that we all are eternal spirit-beings, Children of God, destined
to attain maturity of soul, and thus become just like Jesus and His soul mate –
capable of instantly healing sickness and injury by the power of thought (and
much, much more).
This revelation truly is sweet and pleasant “in the
mouth,” as we realize that, as God’s children, all of us will (like Jesus)
eventually be given all the powers of God.
However, as the awareness of our divine lineage begins to “digest,” the
sweetness turns to bitterness, as we realize that we are immature souls who
have a long, long way to go before we can become mature souls; and as we also
realize that the trek each human soul must travel is not only extremely long,
but is also arduous and difficult, and our Father requires a great deal of us
as we make the lengthy journey; yet we have no place else to go.
The bitterness is deepened by the realization that
The Victory (over our carnal desires, which each of us is required to attain)
is extraordinarily elusive and difficult to accomplish.
However, there is cause for rejoicing, because the
Age of Aquarius is poised to commence.
The first day of the new age will be the Judgment
Day. All who are found worthy on that
day will be admitted to a school of learning, where we will learn how to walk
the straight and narrow way (the Return Path to Eden) which leads to major
advancements in soul-maturity, and to considerable
progress in human awareness of our oneness with God.
On that first day (the great day of the Lord) the
meek will receive their inheritance.
This glorious time of deific learning, the Aquarian
Age, has also been called, “Heaven” (in some scripture).
Jesus prophesied that the world will experience a period
of extreme faithlessness, selfishness and greed, and widespread horrible
violence – just prior to the first day of the New Age, the Judgment Day; and in
many areas, the earth will be baptized with human blood. There will be many false and deluded prophets
during these terrible times, and some will be very convincing, and they will
deceive many.
But then the new age will commence. This coming age will be an era of world peace
and tranquility, and a wondrous period of spiritual learning. During this remarkable, peaceful age we will
be taught much about what is required of us (as God’s Children) so that we may
learn how to grow and attain maturity – to eventually become just like our
Father (as did two of our brethren, Jesus and Miriam).
The marvelous New Age (The Age of Aquarius), in
ancient scripture, has been referred to as “Heaven,” because during this
impending epoch, all the peoples and nations of Earth will reside in Heaven – a
state of mind; and all will comprehend The Most Sacred Truth, that God and Man
are one!
Jesus explains all this (and much more) very clearly
in the Aquarian Gospel.
More Revelations
(based on a
2-decade study of The Aquarian Gospel)
The Aquarian Gospel explains
the following additional Truths:
(during these times of Revelations)
God’s universal domain is ever expanding. His realm always grows. Thus, He periodically draws out a copious
supply of God-seeds from within Himself (an infinite, eternal store) and He
lavishly sows these seeds throughout vast expanses of His ever-expanding
Universe. We are those seeds –
transplanted from God Himself, many ages ago.
Thus, we are God’s Children.
Furthermore, the stars (the suns, planets and
galaxies) of this universe are physical manifests of the seven creative spirits
of God, and Man resides on Earth-like worlds throughout the physical universe
(along with Animal Kingdoms). This world
on which we live is therefore a living, divine creature – a manifest of God,
and our sun (also a living creature) displays the power of God.
When we live according to Our Father’s teachings and
commandments, the Earth and the Sun gladly harmonize their great natural powers
to serve us. When we deviate from Our
Father’s commandments and teachings, we cause catastrophes and “natural”
disasters. (This is why, when Jesus was
nailed to the cross, the sun refused
to shine.) By our own misguided
actions and thoughts, we misdirect and mis-use the
powers of nature; because we are in control.
Yet, we are out of control.
The Biblical stories of Sodom and Gomorrah, and
Noah’s flood, are stories of how Mankind causes his own disasters. However, in olden days, we were not mature
enough to comprehend that we cause our own natural disasters, as well as
personal tragedies. Thus, we were told (in
ancient books of scripture) that God did it, which was not untrue,
because we (as His Children) are part of God, and we are subject to Our
Father’s natural laws of repercussion.
Human maturity is awareness of this, and wisdom is
thinking and behaving accordingly.
We require many incarnations (during numerous ages of
learning) before we are capable of comprehending that we are God’s children
(deity-offspring), and finally realize we need to get control
……..(of ourselves). Meanwhile, most of
us remain out of control, and we therefore experience accidents, disease, misunderstandings,
and every type of grief and unpleasantness.
After Judgment Day, all who are found worthy will be
taught how to gain control, and as a result, we will (with help from
Master-teachers) transform Earth into a peaceful paradise, and a school of
spiritual learning.
Only those who have striven to be sincere, kind,
decent, just, and forgiving will be judged worthy – and be allowed to
participate in the coming heavenly Age.
Masters will open The Book of God’s Remembrance on that critical day,
and no one will be able to lie.
Judgment Day is near.
As God’s Children, all men and women are destined
(after countless incarnations) to learn all our lessons, to reach full
maturity, and to take up residence with our Father (as gods) in His ever-increasing,
ever-expanding Universe.
Jesus, a fully mature soul, came here, to our Earth,
to show us The Way. He came to
demonstrate to us what full human maturity look like. He showed us the kind of life a mature child
of God lives, when he incarnates into a physical world. The incarnation of a fully mature child of
God is called Christ – a full-fledged Son of God – a Messiah. (Miriam, Jesus’ spiritual partner, gave us a
rare glimpse of the female side of Christ.)
Until we achieve advanced maturity (and learn all
our lessons) we youthful gods make many mistakes, which often bring pain,
suffering and sorrow into our lives, including the awful illusion called
“death,” which we experience over and over again – until we become as mature as
our Lord. It takes many ages for us to
learn all our lessons.
Through His elder and wiser children (the prophets),
our Father always urges us on, so that we may learn our numerous lessons,
including how to defeat all the causes of sadness, misery and death
itself.
Jesus is the eldest and wisest prophet ever to have
graced our Earth. His mission was to
teach us many lessons, including victory over death. He taught by word, and He taught by example.
Soon He will teach us more. The return of Christ, the Messiah (along with
the Judgment Day) is very near. We must
prepare.
Hypocrites often are criminals-concealed,
for they are willing to use any kind of treachery or deceit to achieve selfish,
evil goals. They often appear to be pillars of communities, occupying positions
as public servants, business leaders, or ministers and priests. This is the “sheep’s clothing.” Their treachery and deceit is the wolf behind
the cloak.
Yet, these deceivers are incapable of
maintaining their fleece-coverings indefinitely, and eventually, their hidden
selves are revealed (especially during these times of Revelations). Thus, “by their fruits, we come to know
them.” This is why we often hear
shocking reports of public servants and religious figures who
are caught living depraved, dishonest and even murderous lifestyles.
Sometimes, when “sheep’s clothing” does
not exist, evil finds a way to fabricate it, by convincing large masses of
people that depravity is noble; and many ”wolves” hide behind this falsehood.
Thus, we have witnessed the exaltation of homosexuality and other deviant
practices; and certain sectors of our culture no longer simply ask us to
tolerate these unnatural lifestyles (as we have been willing), but now they
demand that we elevate and revere them.
And some even go so far as to heap shame and ridicule upon those of us
who decline to adopt their ways.
Furthermore, be aware that if someone
makes a great show of promoting some “noble cause,” he (or she) is using the
issue to hide some deep, dark secret (or some evil motivation) – lurking behind
the fleece.
People who honestly and sincerely promote
noble causes do their work quietly, and without fanfare.
Return to
Preliminary Comments
Return to The Review
There are powers in the
world that do not want people to learn about the sacred truths contained in the
Aquarian Gospel. Deceit (through lies
and disinformation) is the primary weapon of evil. Ridicule is the weapon of second choice.
Only once during
each “rolling of the ages.”
Thus, the soldier who concludes that he must no longer
wield any weapon (and steadfastly refuses to harm anyone) has overcome a major
obstacle – on the long trek to soul-maturity.
How can the life of Christ (and Paradise) be the
destiny of every human being?
Since the foundation of the world, God determined
that all those who overcome shall enter Paradise, and reside with Him
forevermore. After Judgment Day, those
who have not overcome, but were judged worthy because they strove to live
righteously and sincerely, will be shown how to overcome, and they will enter
the Kingdom (where there is no death and no grief).
The rest must wait for new opportunities – In far
distant times and places – when there will eventually be another Judgment
Day. But God’s eternal creation cycles
are enormously long, and Judgment Days are extremely rare. Thus, in Eternity,
everyone’s destiny is to finally overcome, and reside with our Father in His
heavenly kingdom.
The times intervening between God’s harvests of
human souls (Judgment Days) is so enormously long, that ancient teachers often
referred to these durations as eternity.
And since all people, who have not entered Paradise, reside “where there
is weeping and the gnashing of teeth” (frequent grief), these same teachers
sometimes referred to “the eternal suffering” of those judged unworthy.
We reside where there is “eternal suffering,” the
place that is forever fraught with grief and disappointment, but during these
times of Revelations, we have been given the knowledge of who we are, where we
are, and how to escape. The ticket to
eternal peace and tranquility belongs to anyone who overcomes,
anyone who acquires the Pearl of Greatest Price, by winning The Victory.
the truth is, in Eternity, all those, who failed to
live honest, righteous lives (and are judged unworthy), are given new opportunities
to incarnate again and again and again, until they eventually, finally learn
to live righteously, and finally walk the return Path to Eden, and finally
enter Paradise. (All because, in Eternity, God never abandons any of
His lost
Explanation of "a Perfect Man:" Every Man is composed to
two people, a man and a woman. When a Perfect
Man stands before God, the man’s female counterpart stands with him – equally;
for every man is only half a person and when a man becomes Perfect, his other
half becomes Perfect along side of him – because they are ONE. Therefore, Miriam (who stood at the foot of
the cross and forgave the executioners) also became perfect, and she stands Perfect before God – beside her other half, Jesus.
16) Death does not mean the end of life.
The grave is not the goal of men, no more than is the earth the goal of seeds.
17) Life is the consequence of death. The seed may seem to die, but from its
grave the tree arises into life.
18) So man may seem to die, but he lives on, and from the grave he springs up
into life.
19) If you could comprehend the word that Moses spoke about the burning bush
that burned and still was not consumed, then you would know that death cannot
destroy the life.
20) And Moses said that God is God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Israel.
21) God is not God of dead men's bones, but the living man.
22) I tell you, men, man goes down to the grave, but he will rise again and
manifest the life;
23) For every life is hid with Christ in God, and man shall live while God shall
live.
6) God lives not in the noise of
tongues; there is no way to him from any idol shrine.
7) God’s meeting place with man is in the heart, and in a still small voice he
speaks; and he who hears is still.
8) And all the people said,
Teach us to know the Holy One who speaks within the
heart, God of the still small voice.
9) And Jesus said,
The Holy Breath cannot be seen with mortal eyes;
nor can men see the Spirits of the Holy One;
10) But in their image man was made, and he who looks into the face of man,
looks at the image of the God who speaks within.
11) And when man honors man he honors God, and what man does for man, he does
for God.
12) And you must bear in mind that when man harms in thought, or word or deed
another man, he does a wrong to God.
13) If you would serve the God who speaks within the heart, just serve your
near of kin, and those that are no kin, the stranger at your gates, the foe who
seeks to do you harm;
14) Assist the poor, and help the weak; do harm to none, and covet not what is
not yours;
15) Then, with your tongue the Holy One will speak; and he will smile behind your
tears, will light your countenance with joy, and fill your hearts with peace.
Spoken by Jesus, Ch. 26:6-15
3) And Jesus said,
The prophets all have told about this kingdom of
the God, and it is just at hand; but men can never see it come.
4) It never can be seen with carnal eyes; it is within.
5) Lo, I have said, and now I say again, None but the
pure in heart can see the king, and all the pure in heart are subjects of the
king.
6) Reform, and turn away form sin; prepare you, O
prepare! the kingdom is at hand.
7) And then he spoke to his disciples and he said,
The seasons of the son of man are past.
8) The time will come when you will wish above all else to see again one of
these days; but you can see it not.
9) And many men will say, Lo, here is Christ; lo,
there is Christ. Be not deceived; go not into their ways.
10) For when the son of man will come again no man need point the way; for as
the lightning lights the heavens, so will the son of man light up the heavens
and earth.
11) But, lo, I say, that many generations will have come and gone before the
son of man shall come in power; but when he comes no one will say, Lo, here is Christ; lo, there.
12) But as it was before the flood in Noah's day, so shall it be. The people
ate, they drank, were filled with merriment and sang for joy,
13) And did not know their doom until the ark was done
and Noah entered in; but then the flood came on and swept them all away.
14) So, also, in the days of Lot; the people ate and drank; they bought, they
sold, they planted and they reaped, they went their ways in sin, and they cared
not;
15) But when the righteous Lot went from their city's gates the earth beneath
the city shook, and brimstone fires fell from heaven;
16) The gapping jaws of earth flew wide, and swallowed up their homes, their
wealth, and they went down to rise no more.
17) So shall it be when comes the son of man in power.
18) I charge you men, as I will charge men then, Seek not to save your wealth,
or you will lose your lives. Go forth, and look not back upon the crumbling
walls of sin. Do not forget Lot's wife.
19) Whoever tries to save his life will lose his life; whoever freely gives his
life in serving life will save his life.
20) Then comes the sifting time. Two men will be in bed; one will be called,
the other left; two women will be working side by side; one will be snatched
away, the other left.
every one may have
this Christ dwell in his soul, as Christ dwells in my soul.
8) The body is the temple of the king, and men may call a holy man a king.
9) He who will cleanse his mortal form and make it pure, so pure that love and
righteousness may dwell unsullied side by side within its walls, is king.
10) The kings of earth are clothed in royal robes, and sit in state that men
may stand in awe of them.
11) A king of heaven may wear a fisher's garb; may sit in mart of trade; may
till the soil, or be a gleaner in the field; may be a slave in mortal chains;
12) May be adjudged a criminal by men; may languish in a prison cell; may die
upon a cross.
13) Men seldom see what others truly are. The human senses sense what seems to
be, and that which seems to be and that which is, may be diverse in every way.
14) The carnal man beholds the outer man, which is the temple of the king, and
worships at his shrine.
15) The man of God is pure in heart; he sees the king; he sees with eyes of
soul:
16) And when he rises to the plane of Christine
consciousness, he knows that he himself is king, is love, is Christ, and so is
son of God.
17) You men of Galilee, prepare to meet your king. Ch
71
……Men never know what other men have done, this life is such a seeming life.
4) One man may seem to do a mighty work, and be adjudged by men as worthy of a
great reward.
5) Another man may seem to be a failure in the harvest fields of life, and be
dishonored in the face of men.
6) Men do not know the hearts of men; God only knows the hearts of men, and
when the day is done he may reward with life the man who fell beneath the
burdens of the day, and turn away the man who was the idol of the hearts of
men.
Yes, one must read carefully, and one may read with
skepticism. However, there is often a fine line between honest skepticism and prejudice. If you approach this book with prejudice, you
will not comprehend it’s precious message; if you read
with an honest skepticism (and read carefully), you will comprehend.
the time will come when all the world will rise, like gladiators in
a ring, and fight just for the sake of shedding blood.
22) And men will reason not; they will not see, nor care to see a cause for
carnage, desolation, thefts; for they will war with friend or foe.
23) The very air will seem surcharged with smoke of death; and pestilence will
follow close upon the sword.
24) And signs that men have never seen will appear in heaven and earth; in sun,
and moon, and stars.
25) The seas will roar, and sounds will come from heaven that men can never
comprehend, and these will bring distress of nations with perplexity.
26) Hearts of the strongest men will faint in fear, in expectation of the
coming of more frightful things upon the earth.
27) But while the conflicts rage on land and sea, the Prince of Peace will
stand above the clouds of heaven and say again:
28) Peace, peace on earth; good will to men; and every man will throw away his
sword, and nations will learn war no more.
29) And then the man who bears the pitcher will walk forth across an arc of
heaven; the sign and signet of the son of man will stand forth in the eastern
sky.
30) The wise will then lift up their heads and know that the redemption of the
earth is near.
31) Before these days shall come, behold, false Christs
and poor deluded prophets will arise in many lands.
32) And they will show forth signs, and do a multitude of mighty works; and
they will lead astray the many who are not wise; and many of the wise will be
deceived.
33) And now I tell you once again, When men shall say, The Christ is in the
wilderness, go you not forth.
34) And if they say, The Christ is in the secret place, believe it not; for
when he comes the world will know that he has come.
35) For as the morning light comes from the east and shines unto the west; so
shall be the coming of the age and son of man.
36) The wicked of the earth will weep when they shall see the son of man come
down upon the clouds of heaven, in power.
37) Take heed you, O take heed, for you know not the hour nor
the day when comes the son of man.
38) Let not your hearts be overcharged with sensuous
things, nor with the cares of life, lest that day come and find you unprepared.
39) Keep watch at every season of the year; and pray that you may meet the Lord
with joy and not with grief.
40) Before these days shall come our Father-God will send his messengers
abroad, yea, to the corners of the earth, and they will say.
41) Prepare you, O prepare; the Prince of Peace shall come, and now is coming
on the clouds of heaven.
42) When Jesus had thus said, he went with his disciples back to Bethany.
Preparing your mind
to learn
A child sees the
stars in the sky and wonders what they are.
In this scientific age, he (or she) soon learns that our sun is a star,
and that the stars are very distant suns.
Then he learns that many points of light in the nocturnal sky are
actually very distant groups of stars called galaxies, and each galaxy contains
hundreds of millions of stars; and that Science has not discerned where the
universe “ends,” or if it has no end and is infinite.
The child who has
learned this much about the universe has a very different perspective regarding
the nighttime sky than when she (or he) first viewed the stars, and wondered
about them.
Religious
traditions tell us of a “Plan of Salvation.”
When one hears of this plan, he or she is like the child who first takes
notice of the stars in the night sky. As
youthful “children of God,” most of us have only a fuzzy idea of God’s Plan,
and many even doubt that it exists.
Prepare your mind
to learn something new. After you have
read (and absorbed) the information in this publication (and the Aquarian
Gospel) you will have a new perspective on the Plan of Salvation. Like a child’s developmental comprehension of
the physical Universe, you will learn that the Plan of Salvation is far greater
and far more extensive than you may have previously imagined. Prepare Your Mind.

Evangelio Acuariano de Jesus, El Cristo de La Era de Piscis (Paperback)
by Levi
H. Dowling (Author)
Yes, Jesus taught that even hatred is simply
an indulgence in base desires, and indeed every sin is a form of
self-indulgence. He grew up in an Essene household.
Master teachers of this sect taught that, in order to find one’s spirit
self (the part that is also a part of God), one must distance one’s self from
all carnal indulgences (both physical and psychological).
Thus, Essene
faithful seldom feasted, and when they did, they used careful moderation, and
they practiced frequent fasting as well as long periods of sexual
abstinence. They practiced meditation
daily, and furthermore, they avoided all actions or words that would tend to
enhance one’s social esteem, as they recognized that pride and ambition are
psychological indulgences.
All of us have always been one with God, “at the core,” but not “through and through.” He who conquers all indulgence-tendencies (overcomes the carnal self) has become one with God through and through, and all of us are required to achieve this. He who is always moving closer to this achievement experiences a peaceful, rewarding life; whereas, he (or she) who deviates from the path of our requirement experiences many types of grief and misery.
On our
national day of Thanksgiving (and every day) we pray, Father: Thank you for our
success, and for this abundance and this feast, and for the company of friends
and family. Help us to enjoy this celebration
with cautious moderation of our appetites.
And thank you for the feast that is life itself; and protect us, oh
Lord, from temptations to adopt pop culture’s reckless abandonment of moral
standards and self-restraint – important values which your faithful servants
taught us through sacred Scripture. And
help us, oh Lord, to prepare for the coming day of
Judgment. Amen.
26) And when the chief men of the town poured out the
sparkling wine and offered John a cup, he took it, held it high in air, and
said,
27) Wine makes glad the carnal heart, and it makes
sad the human soul; it plunges deep in bitterness and gall the deathless spirit
of the man.
28) I took the vow of Nazar when a child,
and not a drop has ever passed my lips.
29) And if you would make glad the coming king, then shun the cup as you would
shun a deadly thing.
30) And then he threw the sparking wine out in
the street……
….And (Jesus said) when
life's heavy load is pressing hard, it is far better to go out and seek a quiet
place to pray and meditate.
The Review
Part V
Into the Light
Shortly after the day of reckoning (and during the
new age), master-teachers will help us look back on our own history, and see
how we caused all our own tragedies and disasters – through carelessness,
ignorance and self indulgence; because, as Descendants of God, we have always
had, at our disposal, powers much greater than we knew, and we were like
infants and toddlers in possession of dangerous, powerful tools. We will finally understand why World History
was filled with violence, suffering and an endless series of conflicts, wars
and tragedies.
We will also learn that our suffering could have
been much worse, because our Father-God has (throughout History) severely
restricted our access to our inherent divine powers; and therefore, our ability
to inflict pain and suffering upon ourselves (by misusing them) has always been
mercifully limited. Furthermore, the Ten
Commandments, given to us long ago, served humanity well, by minimizing the
self-inflicted suffering (of those who observed and kept them).
All who attend the coming Age of Aquarius (a sacred
school), will eventually be given full access to
intrinsic human powers, along with knowledge, wisdom and understanding. Thus, we will no longer harm ourselves by
misusing our natural powers; and we will be well prepared to teach others.
In due time, we will be sent (by incarnation) to
worlds filled with less mature souls, and we will lead them (a few at a time)
out of the darkness of ignorance, into the Light of understanding – just as
many elder human brothers and sisters are now leading us (a few at a time) out
of darkness (away from the shadow of the grave), into the Light!
(And Jesus is the chief
teacher – leading us to illumination.)
Our Lord, the Messiah, was a very advanced human
soul, who had already spent many incarnations bringing the Light of
understanding to despondent, lost souls – that they
may learn to tread the way of joy and happiness, instead of trudging along the
path of sadness and misery.
By thus serving mankind, he had acquired the
strength to display our oneness with God.
He received the Divine Inheritance, which our Father
patiently waits to give to each and every one of us; because we are His
descendants – we are His offspring – we are His
Children!
What is the Divine Inheritance? It is unfettered access to divine
power. This most precious legacy is
granted only to souls mature enough to employ heavenly powers wisely (like
Jesus).
Our Lord, Jesus, made it emphatically clear that he
is not God, but simply, a man (a child of God) who had matured, and had
therefore received his inheritance: he had become just like our Father –
indistinguishable from God, the Father of all beings.
Through faith, prayer and diligence, our Lord
conquered his carnal nature (not just once, but many times – during many
incarnations); and he thereby became a full-fledged Son of God, and he invites
all who hear him to do the same – to follow his brilliant, shining
example, and thereby become just like him (as he became just like our
Father).
We are not expected to become totally like Messiah
during one incarnation, but whenever the life of Christ is revealed to any
human being, he (or she) is required to honestly and sincerely emulate the
Lord. And within Eternity, there is
no limit to the number of incarnations God can give us, enabling us to emulate
His Son – in pursuit of our destiny. (And
we must always do our best.)
Jesus spoke and acted (in every earthly situation)
as our Father Himself would speak and act.
He truly became indistinguishable from God. Through Jesus, God the Father revealed
Himself!
And this is Christ, the Messiah – Immanuel. And this is an Avatar – a Son of God. And this is the ultimate destiny of every
human being! What other destiny could
exist for God’s
descendants? What other destiny could exist for beings
that, God Himself said, are His children?
The Review
Part VI
The Beacon Light
God sends a Messianic Christ to Earth very rarely –
at the beginning of each age. (An age lasts a little longer than 2,000 years --
and so, the Age of Aquarius is about to commence.)
Furthermore, Jesus indicated, as Judgment Day
approaches, men and women will be compelled to follow the Christ – to walk The
Return Path to Eden. And this is how The
Kingdom is now coming upon the clouds of heaven. Silently, and unnoticed, the Kingdom
arrives! Yet, only a few at a time enter
Paradise. (The last are first, and the
first, last.)
Meanwhile, ignorant, less mature souls continue
sowing (and harvesting) fields of grief – experiencing self-made disasters,
tragedies and tribulations – during these end-times. (And they, unknowingly, wait for elder and
wiser brothers and sisters to lead them to the Light.)
Jesus, our elder brother, came to show us The
Way.¹ His life is our example – freely given to us
– a beacon light in the night. His life
(and Miriam’s) is proof that all men and women can recover from “the fall of Man,” and become free. Indeed, he taught that God, our Father,
requires this of every one of us.
And He demands that we always do our best (or
experience grievous consequences). He
(and His angels, and many master-souls, and other holy spirits) go to great
lengths, and employ intense divine labor, to provide us with the space-time dimensions,
where we may incarnate and learn countless important lessons. We must not be wasteful of these gifts. Wasting our time (and God’s) is serious sin,
and sin always brings grief.
Furthermore, Christ taught that those who do not
listen to his words, and pay heed, can never enter Paradise – until they
finally do open their ears, and pay heed (in this, or in some future
incarnation). Everyone eventually opens
his ears, pays heed, and follows Christ to Paradise.
However, it is possible to lose one’s
soul along the lengthy journey we travel.
The person who loses his or her soul is then required to begin the long,
long voyage anew (because there is a part of every human being, deep within
each soul, that can never be destroyed – the part that is also part of God, and
makes us His descendants.)
He created us by transplanting tiny pieces of
Himself, and nourishing and watering the soil; just as a gardener can
transplant small pieces of certain flowers or vegetables, “creating” new plants
– identical to the original.
Loss of soul is the most fearsome and grievous
punishment that can occur. It is
excruciatingly painful, as the process is a long, slow disintegration of soul –
called the second death. People who are
persistently (and defiantly) deceitful, proud, dishonest and insincere, or
extraordinarily selfish (without repentance and remorse), experience this most
fearsome tragedy.
The Review
Part VII
The Way
The fall of Man occurred when we (along with Adam
and Eve) decided to bite into “the apple of carnal pleasure” (a long, long time
ago) and became addicted; and, in order to return to Paradise, we must spit out
the apple and retrace our steps; and we do so by conquering our addiction – by
winning The Victory.
This is the only way to return to Eden. Thus, Jesus, who walked the way unwaveringly,
said, “I am The Way.” And, he also
revealed, “Every man will eventually do and say everything I have said and
done.” (We have no place else to go.)
And during the glorious age (the coming age of Aquarius) men and women will acquire the learning
foundation that will enable us to one day go forth, and do and say everything
he said and did (and everything Miriam said and did).
However, Our Lord made it unambiguously clear that
those who do not prevail over all our carnal appetites and cravings, experience
the illusion called death; and those who waste precious opportunities,
persistently pursuing (instead of overcoming) the physical and psychological
desires of the selfish self, experience tragic, frightening and painful
repercussions (including a difficult death).
Thus, they who have sown seeds of responsibility,
kindness and exceptional self-restraint, experience stability, tranquility and
an enjoyable life (here and hereafter); while selfish, deceitful, and indulgent
souls reap fields of desolation, disease, misery and grief (both here and
hereafter), even if their indulgence was secretive, and regardless of the fact
that they may have been regarded, by the world, as a laudable
public servant, a celebrated hero, a magnificent artist or performer, a priest,
preacher, rabbi, cardinal, minister, a famous evangelist, or a living saint.
Worldly reputation and conventional public opinion
are often far removed from God’s view of a man or
woman.
The Review
Part VIII
The Life of Christ
Jesus taught that those who make an honest effort to
subjugate the desires of the selfish self, and achieve steady, measurable
progress, experience a satisfying, peaceful life, and after a merciful death,
they are given a pleasant rest period, followed by new opportunities to defeat
incarnate impulses.
Furthermore, during each generation,
a few succeed in completely vanquishing all the carnal passions and flesh
desires; and by so doing, they have found the treasure hidden in a field, and
have “gone and sold all they had, and purchased the field.” In different words, they have acquired the
pearl of greatest price (and during their Earthly stay, they reap the
blessings of Isaiah 40:29 & 31). They attain eternal life.
These Victorious souls simply discard the physical
body at the appropriate time – without experiencing death; and in due time,
they go on, to incarnate into worlds (selected by God, our Father) where they
serve as sages, seers and prophets (many times) until they finally achieve
oneness with God – by living the life of Christ – and Jesus is our
example.
(Note: Most of us, youthful
souls, usually reincarnate into the same world many times.)
Our Lord came here, to our world; he incarnated here
and achieved oneness! He lived the life
of Christ, which is everyone’s ultimate destiny. Thus, he said, “You may follow me.” His life story truly is our beacon-light in the
night.
Anyone who wins the Victory over self, in
the same magnificent manner that Jesus did, achieves not only eternal
life, but also immortality! (which means, no more
incarnations are required), and immortality belongs to everyone; because
everyone eventually overcomes; and eventually, everyone overcomes as
magnificently as our Lord.
Jesus stated that each person, as a child of God,
has within himself, all the attributes of our Father, but our divine powers are
bridled by the flesh desires; and anyone (man or woman) who triumphs over the
carnal appetites and passions, has unbridled his divine attributes, and he or
she can (in the name of God) heal the sick, cast out evil spirits, calm violent
storms, walk on water – and even raise the dead.
Jesus also taught that he is simply our elder
brother (and his partner, Miriam, is our elder sister), and they came to
demonstrate to us how to attain Eternal Life, and gain access to divine power –
and to eventually attain Immortality. God (our Father) requires all
of us to achieve these, for this is our
inheritance. He gives each of us as many incarnations as necessary,
and He demands that we always do our best.
Any person, who breaks one of our Father’s
commandments, retreats from God, and experiences grief, the wage of sin. Anyone who obeys the ten
commands, advances on the path to Salvation, and moves closer to God. Furthermore, anyone who keeps the
commandments, and also follows the path of Christ (by defeating the carnal
self), has become a servant of God, and lives a joyful, peaceful existence, and
never suffers grief – even if hypocrites take his life!
The Review
Part IX
The Final Days
The Aquarian Gospel also reveals that Christ the Messiah comes to Earth at
the beginning of every age (to demonstrate the deific powers of Man), and an
age lasts a little longer than 2,000 years. Jehoshua
(Yeh-shoo-a)* came at the
dawning of the Age of Pisces, which is now coming to a close – as the new
age, the Age of Aquarius, dawns.
Jesus also stated that during the final days of the age, many
mystifying, remarkable signs will appear on Earth and in the heavens,
accompanied by an intense surge of appalling global strife, violence and
warfare, and huge catastrophes. “Hearts
of the strongest men will faint in
fear…” Furthermore,
false prophets and Christ-imposters will arise in many lands, and they will
deceive the unwise (and many of the wise).
Then suddenly, at the height of the pervasive violent chaos and turmoil,
Christ the Messiah will make His presence known – by making an announcement,
and all the world will hear.
No one will doubt who has spoken; and all combatants will
hastily discard their weapons – marking the end of warfare on Earth; and
Judgment Day will quickly occur.
Many strange and baffling signs
have been seen on Earth for years now, and there have been frequent reports of
mystifying sights
and sounds in the skies, worldwide.
(Although, most governments have denied that these events occur, or
explain them away as mass hysteria, or as ordinary natural phenomena misidentified.)
And need I point out that appalling violence and
wars and huge disasters abound? And
people who consider themselves “prophets” seem to be everywhere.
It’s clear we are rapidly approaching the horrible
crescendo (which our Lord said would precede the Messiah announcement). One can just feel it: the final days are very
close, and may already be “in progress.”
(Jesus describes the final days, and the event some people
call “the rapture.”)
The Review
Part X
Understanding our Lord’s
invitation, “Come, Follow Me”
Those found worthy on the forthcoming Judgment Day
will enter a sacred, higher school of learning (right here on Earth – the
inheritance of the meek). Here we will
be taught how to live the life that leads directly to the attainment of
Eternal Life.
In this sacred school (a school for future
prophets) we will learn the secret of how to recall (in future
incarnations) all that we will learn here, so that we may go forth, and visit
other worlds (by incarnation) and live the lives of prophets – many
times – just as Jesus did. Then, like
him, each of us will eventually become so advanced, that we can finally live a
perfect life – the life of Christ the Messiah – and be a Savior for a world,
and thereby become immortal – just as Jesus did!
Now we can fully understand the deeper meaning of
our Lord’s words, “come, follow me.”
The life Jesus and Miriam
lived here 2,000 years ago is the life every man and woman will one day
live. This is the destiny of every child
of God. This is full human maturity.
Those found unworthy on Judgment day will not enter
God’s higher school of learning; they will experience death, and most of these
will then reincarnate into other worlds (that are still many ages away from
their Judgment Day). There, they will
live and die, and live again (many, many times), until the next Judgment Day –
a long, long time indeed.
(Some of the unworthy will lose their souls
altogether – a tragedy called the second death. Yet, each of these unfortunate ones will
eventually acquire a new soul, and begin the Salvation process all over again –
because we are eternal beings; and God owns Eternity.)
The Aquarian Gospel tells us
how to prepare for the imminent day of reckoning (the first day of the
new age – very near), and furthermore, Jesus advised: “…none can tell
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.” ²

Part XI
The Ark of the Covenant
This concludes this brief summary of Levi’s sacred
book. They who carefully read his
precious transcript of Jesus’ life (and comprehend) have found the Holy Grail
(The Cup of Life), and nothing less; and they who
faithfully adhere to the Way of Life Jesus reveals in this hallowed text, can,
in due time, find (and open) the Ark of the Covenant – a boundless treasure
that belongs to everyone who can find it. ³
And we can be sure that Levi found, and opened
it. Otherwise, he could not have known
how to peer back in time, and present us with the most precious gift
ever given to Mankind – a comprehensive, accurate eyewitness account of Jesus’
life – The Aquarian Gospel.
This publication (Return Path to Eden)
is dedicated to helping people become aware of (and familiar with) the most
important book ever written, and The Greatest Story Ever Told:
The Aquarian Gospel of Jesus the Christ.

40
“And wicked men will seize you in the
streets, and as you kneel in prayer; will charge you with some legal crime, and
think they serve their God by putting you to death.
20) But falter not; the load will heavy be, but with the consciousness of duty
done, the peace of God will lift the load, dispel the pain and light the way.
21) And we will meet where carnal executioners come not; there we will serve
the cruel men, who in their ignorance had tortured us to death.
22) Can we prevent this outrage and this slaughter of our lives? If not we are
but creatures of the ebb and flow of carnal things. It would not be a sacrifice
of life.
23) But we are masters of the things of time. Lo, we can speak, and all the
spirits of the fire, water, earth and air will stand in our defense.
24) We can command and many legions of the angel world would come and strike
our enemies to earth.
25) But it is best that not a power of heaven or earth should come to our
relief. And it is best that even God should veil his face and seem to hear us
not.
26) As I am pattern unto you, so you are patterns for the human race. We show
by non-resistance that we give our lives in willing sacrifice for man.”
(AG 127:19-26)
“Man is the delegate of God to do his
will on earth, and man can heal the sick, control the spirits of the air, and
raise the dead.
40) Because I have the power to do these things is nothing strange. All men may
gain the power to do these things; but they must conquer all the passions of
the lower self; and they can conquer if they will… What I have done, all men will do; and what I
am, all men will be.”
(chapter 91, v. 39-40 and
chapter 176, v. 30)
You may wonder, how can I say, “there
is no death?”
This brings us to the definition of death. Death is the traumatic, difficult passing of the
soul from the body, followed by an unpleasant stay in Nature’s purifying
fires. People, who have learned to
always grow in the right direction, simply exit the physical body in a
painless, easy way (at the proper time), and then they enter a very pleasant
region of the realm of souls, where they remain until their next
incarnation. Thus, they do not
experience death (by the definition given above). Furthermore, these men and women can recall
past lives and past visits to the realm of souls. They possess memory-continuity. This is eternal life.
And so, for the person who has conquered
selfishness, passing on is like the end of a day (in the life of his or her
soul) and the passing is like going to sleep, and there are sweet dreams, and there
are valuable learning experiences – in preparation for the next
incarnation. In comparison, the person,
who has not overcome the selfish self, experiences a frightening (and
emotionally difficult passing) often accompanied by great physical discomfort, and the purifying fires are like a nightmare.
You may wonder, “what about Jesus’ death upon the
cross?…his crucifixion certainly doesn’t sound like an
easy, painless exiting of the body.” The
answer to this question is best explained in Jesus’ own words.
For the selfish person, the intensity of the
suffering during the exiting of the body is proportional to the degree of
selfishness, and the intensity of the purification process is also
proportional. Furthermore, these people
experience great difficulty remembering past lives, and their recall is (at
best) disjointed and confusing.
Furthermore, they have no desire to recall any purification experiences.
People (who have lived selfishly) may attempt to
escape the trauma of death by employing drug-induced death or by means of some
other “painless” method, however the mental anguish leading up to the moment of
passing on is excruciating for them, and their purification process (we can be
sure) is equally unpleasant.
“This leaven of truth which I have
brought to men will stir the demons up, and nations, cities,
families will be at war within themselves.
12) The five that have been dwelling in a home of peace will be divided now, and
two shall war with three;
13) The son will stand against his sire; the mother
and the daughter will contend; yea, strife will reign in every home.
14) The self and greed and doubt will rage into a fever heat, and then, because
of me, the earth will be baptized in human blood.
15) But right is king; and when the smoke is cleared away the nations will
learn war no more; the Prince of Peace will come to reign…..
(When the
time is close)……
“men will reason not;
they will not see, nor care to see a cause for carnage, desolation, thefts; for
they will war with friend or foe.
23) The very air will seem surcharged with smoke of death; and pestilence will
follow close upon the sword.
24) And signs that men have never seen will appear in heaven and earth; in sun,
and moon, and stars.
25) The seas will roar, and sounds will come from heaven that men can never
comprehend, and these will bring distress of nations with perplexity.
26) Hearts of the strongest men will faint in fear, in expectation of the coming
of more frightful things upon the earth.
27) But while the conflicts rage on land and sea, the Prince of Peace will
stand above the clouds of heaven and say again:
28) Peace, peace on earth; good will to men; and every man will throw away his
sword, and nations will learn war no more.
29) And then the man who bears the pitcher will walk forth across an arc of
heaven; the sign and signet of the son of man will stand forth in the eastern
sky.
30) The wise will then lift up their heads and know that the redemption of the
earth is near.
31) Before these days shall come (before the days of
carnage, desolation, thefts) behold, false Christs and poor
deluded prophets will arise in many lands.
32) And they will show forth signs, and do a multitude of mighty works; and
they will lead astray the many who are not wise; and many of the wise will be
deceived….
Be ready every moment of the day and
night, because when you expect him not, the Lord will come.
34) Behold, when he will come with all his messengers of light, the Book of
Life, and that of Records, shall be opened up - the books in which the thoughts
and words and deeds are written down.
35) And every one can read the records he has written for himself, and he will
know his doom before the judge shall speak, and this will be the sifting time.
36) According to their records men will find their own.
37) The judge is Righteousness, the king of all the earth, and he will separate
the multitudes as shepherds separate the sheep and goats.
38) The sheep will find their places on the right, the goats upon the left, and
every man will know his place.
39) And then the judge will say, to those upon the right, You
blessed of the Father-God, come unto your inheritance, which was prepared for
you from times of old.”
(AG 113:11-15, 157: 22-32, 158:33-39))
18) Rejoice when evil men shall drive
you from their ways and cause your name to be a hiss and by-word in the street.
19) I say, rejoice; but deal in mercy with the doers of the wrong; they are but
children at their play; they know not what they do.
20) Rejoice not over fallen foes. As you help men rise from the depth of sin,
so God will help you on to greater heights.
(Chapter 95,
vs 18-20
Sermon on the Mount)
They will be cast into the purifying fires, and in
due time, will begin new incarnation-cycles in distant worlds, and will
eventually, after many ages, face another Judgment Day. And if necessary, will face another….and so
on. These vast Judgment cycles continue
eternally; and by this divine plan, every human being (every God-seed)
eventually fulfills his or her destiny.
God’s unbounded Universe continuously expands – eternally, and new
souls are continuously created – eternally.
And every single new soul experiences a gigantic learning process,
which consists of two major components:
The Fall, followed by the Redemption. The result is an endless stream men and women
who eventually attain
soul-maturity – an ever
increasing number of perfected souls – called Christ.
