Welcome to
Return
Path to Eden
A message from the Sounds of Silence
The great
mystery known as
Recovery from The Fall of Man
is revealed. Humanity’s Salvation is
By Michael F. O’Keeffe
The information presented
here is more valuable than a goldmine, and if you comprehend,
you are blessed, for you possess precious wisdom Most of the world is oblivious to this
knowledge,
and does not care to know. Who was
Jesus? He was a man, a child of God (as
are we), and he had reached maturity.
He had grown, to become just
like our Father – all wise, all loving and all powerful (after many
incarnations of learning).
He said we all are capable of
becoming just like him (and he is our elder brother). First, we must learn to follow him.
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.”
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)!
The Review
Prologue
God’s
Magnificent Garden
And the Day of Transition
The Aquarian Gospel reveals many of the mysteries of
God and our relationship to Him. Our
association with our Father is simple, yet profound, and as youthful offspring,
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:
Many varieties of plant-life can reproduce through
"total regeneration." For
example, when small cuttings are taken from common flora and inserted into
moist soil, they sprout roots and grow, and become perfect reproductions of the
parent plant. Some plants, under lab conditions, can totally regenerate by the
removal and transplantation of individual cells.
God is Spirit, and we are God’s children, and He reproduces through "total
regeneration." As His offspring, we
are 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
(every one of us) will eventually attain full human 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 discover how to conquer death itself. Immortality is everyone’s destiny!
The divine descendant who incarnated on Earth over 2,000 years ago (known as
Jesus, the Christ) was initially inserted into the soil of physicality during
very ancient times (many ages before our
original transplantation).
Therefore, when he incarnated here, he was a very ancient soul, who had
previously experienced countless incarnations (before this Earth was even
formed); 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
– so that we may become 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 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!
And
so, now, during these decisive times, we can finally know what it means to be
God’s offspring. 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 in
the wrong direction”), 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 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 thus, his soul
continuously grew toward kindness and love – toward Godliness.
Souls
that grow in selfish directions become sick (mentally and spiritually), 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) life, never experienced sickness, injury or
pain; and, after allowing selfish, evil men to kill his mortal flesh, he
demonstrated his power over death – he resurrected; and he showed his risen
self to many who followed him (and to the rulers who had orchestrated his
execution).
His
mission was to teach us how to conquer death.
He taught that we must learn to think like our Father, as he had
learned. He taught that thinking
selfishly is sin, and that the person who thinks selfishly soon behaves
selfishly, because thought is the power of creation. 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 to follow 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 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, we are
always learning. As our incarnations
pass by, we eventually realize that harboring selfish thoughts produces the
following unpleasant consequences: pain, incapacity, sorrow, irregular soul
development and death. These are the
wages of sin.
And
sin is selfish thinking.
Furthermore, human groups (such as cities, nations,
religious associations and commercial enterprises), which encourage a culture
of selfishness, greed and excessive carnal gratification, experience these same
dreadful consequences, and they become sick in spirit, and if they do not
reform, eventually, they fail and pass away.
Our Divine Father’s plan calls upon us to learn how
to conduct our lives in a way that promotes perfect, healthy growth of
soul. He 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 decide to engage in The Struggle
– the struggle to attain a sinless, unselfish life (by following The Way).
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 so, gradually, we
learn to live less selfishly (less sinfully) as our incarnations pass by… one
after another. This is how our souls
slowly attain the required threshold of maturity and understanding.
Furthermore, because the unpleasant consequences of
deviant soul-development are so very distasteful us (and so unsightly to 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 also directly proportional to the degree of
deviation. Our subconscious memories
include recollection of these unpleasant cleansing experiences. (Many childish nightmares are flashbacks.)
After human souls are cleansed of delinquent,
unwholesome growth and development (between incarnations), 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).
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.
Sometimes a person wanders extremely far astray
(deep into selfish and sensuous ways and dreadful crimes), resulting in extreme
distress and misery, and this soul’s colossal, unsightly, errant growth becomes
utterly ugly in God’s eyes. If He deems
such a soul to be irredeemable, this unwise person, after passing on, must
linger in the purifying fires until nothing remains except the original Divine
Cell; and then, this indestructible, eternal sacred seed must begin anew. Thus, 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 having originated from a divine cell,
which 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, and
their existence between incarnations (in the realm of souls) is pleasant and
rewarding.
In the Aquarian Gospel, Jesus explains how we can achieve
the life of Christ, by learning to continuously grow in the “right” direction –
traveling the path of unselfishness and self-sacrifice – the path that is
totally free of the awful snares and pitfalls (known as disease, injury,
poverty, stress, grief and death).
Our Lord’s life-story demonstrates The Way – the way
of life that fosters perfect soul-development, and thus precludes the need for
both pruning and purification – the way of life that leads to perpetual
tranquility and eternal life. He explains
that anyone can follow this Way – by conquering the strong human tendency to
revere sensuality and live selfishly.
Thus, the Lord teaches us how to overcome all the voluminous and various forms of
selfishness – a very difficult
accomplishment. Few souls (at a
time) achieve this, yet eventually everyone does, and after one has finally
achieved this, sadness and pain no longer exist. Life is full of tranquility and peace; and
there is no death!
Our Father selects His greatest prophets (and other
holy teachers) from those who have achieved this – from men and women who have
won The
Victory – the victory over the carnal self.
We are eternal spirit-beings, and we have been
growing for many ages, yet most of us are still immature and selfish, and thus,
we still experience incidents of pain, misery, sadness and gloom, as well as
death. Mature (unselfish) souls never
experience these. They know that death
is merely an illusion, and they know how to overcome it.
Messiah’s strongest desire is to teach us (his
younger brothers and sisters) so we may learn to conquer the source of human
sadness and demise. He works diligently
to convince us to give up 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) 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 wealth, power, lofty social status and fame; and in quest of these
goals, they often exploit the weaknesses of others.
This lifestyle is also utter foolishness, and these
exploiters soon suffer fearsome consequences, because God’s Law of
Righteousness requires that his offspring utilize their talents to promote
love, 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, many media 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”.
Thus, many 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 this fearsome label. They
have fallen victim to Evil’s primary weapon – deception.
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 and re-transplantation of souls – into broader, more fertile
fields (for those who are prepared).
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 grip on our inherited
God-given abilities, from those who are not.
Jesus’ instructions are now presented to
us, in Levi’s marvelous transcript of Messiah’s life and teachings. His transcription is published as The Aquarian Gospel of Jesus the Christ – a new book of
scripture (only recently given to us) to help us prepare. This book is the most
precious publication in History!
Here is my review of The Aquarian
Gospel.
Be advised that if you comprehend (and sincerely strive to
live the holy life Jesus describes),
you
must prepare yourself to be regarded, at best, as strange (or even insane) and
worse, you may be spurned (by friends and family alike),
considered a fool, a failure, and even a criminal. Yet this isolation
will not cause loneliness, for you will hear the still, small voice.
And you will see the face of God.
“Behold, a man
found in a certain field the croppings of a wondrous
mine of gold,
and he went forth
and sold his home and all he had and bought the field; then he rejoiced in
wealth.”
The Review
Part I
The
Victory – The Pearl of Greatest Price
In this astounding sacred text, Jesus reveals that death
is simply an illusion. He
teaches that we, as God’s children, are eternal spirit-beings, and we never really
die. We are always alive. However, each of us periodically “wears”
a physical body, which is prone to injury, disease and aging, and must soon
pass away.
Our bodies (the physical forms in which we
temporarily reside) are filled with many selfish and sensuous desires (and
egocentric impulses), and we must overcome every one of them. No one ever
enters Heaven (a state of mind) until he or she has won this Victory. It’s so simple: anyone, who overcomes all the
physical appetites, passions and desires (and does not look back), experiences
a life filled with peace and joy, followed by greater happiness hereafter.
Conquering all our carnal cravings is a monumental
task, and we must always do our best.
Yet, the Lord advised caution; one may attempt complete victory over the carnal self
prematurely, or too strenuously. (One
who decides to climb the tallest mountain must prepare carefully.) Thus, he said, “take stock of yourself before
you start to follow me… and don’t look back.
Remember Lot’s wife.”
Now we know why Messiah said, “the
Kingdom is at hand.” Each person
controls his own fate, and anyone who faithfully follows Christ (by completely
vanquishing the selfish self) begins to experience a serene and cheerful state of
consciousness (called Paradise!). All sadness and grief
gradually disappear.
And if one steadfastly adheres to this precious path
(without EVER looking back), the joyous serenity grows strong and pervasive
(filling one’s life), because he or she has won The Victory. He or she has acquired “the Pearl of Greatest
Price.”
The Lord also described winning The Victory as being 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. This is the life of Christ.
This life of Christ is “Eternal Life,” which belongs
to all who faithfully follow Messiah.
And we follow him by following his example of love and forgiveness, and
by following his advice to overcome the strong human tendency of
self-indulgence. 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)
