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, we often find it difficult to comprehend. Yet, we can acquire an understanding by grasping
the concept called “God’s Magnificent Garden.”
Here is an explanation:
Many varieties of plant-life can
reproduce through "total regeneration." For example, when small cuttings are taken
from common flora and placed 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.
We are God’s children, and He reproduces through "total regeneration." As His offspring, we are indeed Divine Cells,
removed by our Father, and transplanted into soil (called the physical
universe). In this soil, we are expected
to grow and develop, and become mature, adult descendants of the divine –
perfect offspring of our parent – God.
Our souls require many incarnations in
the soil of physicality before we can achieve this. Each of us will eventually exhibit full human
growth and maturity – like Jesus (and like Miriam, his lesser known female collaborator). Every human being is destined to eventually
gain the ability to instantly cure disease (or injury) with mental power, and
discover how to conquer death.
Immortality is everyone’s destiny!
The human race has reached a major milestone. Vast numbers of people are now
prepared to learn how to attain maturity of soul. Thus, the harvest time of God’s Magnificent
Garden draws near.
The Aquarian Gospel explains how we can
blossom, and exhibit significant progress toward full human maturity. However, many are unprepared. Judgment Day
will separate those who are prepared to bloom from those who are not. That Day is very close.
The Divine Cell whom we call Jesus was released into the soil of physicality
long before we.
He had already lived countless incarnations before this Earth was even
formed. Thus, when he incarnated here,
over 2,000 years ago, he was a very ancient soul, who had previously acquired
immense wisdom, understanding and maturity.
As a mature child of God, Jesus became identical to our Father – living
an incarnate life. He came to Earth as
our elder brother.
Our Lord was sent here to teach us –
youthful souls. He brought a message
from our Father. The message Jesus
brought clearly states that every one of us will eventually achieve his level of
maturity (and become exactly like him, and like Miriam), and they came to show
us the way. Their lives are our example
of what all men and women are capable of becoming (and will become). We have no place else to go!
Indeed, we have no place else to grow.
Souls that grow in any other direction
(through selfishness) experience sadness, stress and pain, and the intensity of
the misery is always directly proportional to the amount of deviant
growth. For ages, we (youthful souls)
have been unaware that selfishness and self-indulgence are the cause of
unhappiness (and irregular development), and so we have continued in our ways,
and our souls continue growing abnormally.
This is “sin,” which always brings discomfort, incapacity and sorrow,
and leads to death.
This deviant development of soul is
distasteful us, and to God – our Father, and so, between incarnations, He
mercifully grants us opportunity to recover.
He accomplishes this by scorching away all wayward growth. This purification process is unpleasant, and
the duration and intensity of this painful procedure is also directly
proportional to the degree of deviation.
Sometimes a person wanders extremely far
astray, resulting in extreme distress and misery, and this soul’s unsightly,
errant growth becomes utterly ugly in God’s eyes. If He deems such a soul to be irredeemable,
he or she must linger in the purifying fires until nothing remains except the
original Divine Cell; and then, this indestructible, eternal sacred seed must
begin anew.
Devout, earnest and prayerful souls are
blessed, for they experience a pruning process during their incarnate
lives. 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 learn to continuously grow in the “right” direction, and thus avoid
the need for either pruning or purification.
He teaches us how to overcome selfishness.
Few souls (at a time) achieve this, yet
eventually everyone does, and after one has achieved this, sadness and pain no
longer exist. Life is full of
tranquility and peace; and there is no
death!
God selects His greatest prophets (and
some other holy teachers) from among such men and women.
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 numerous occurrences of pain, misery and gloom,
as well as grief and death.
Mature (unselfish) souls know that death
is merely an illusion, and they know how to overcome it. A 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 selfishness – 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
selfishness, and thus attain perpetual tranquility and Eternal Life.
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 of a fully mature soul. The return of Messiah is near!
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 all forms of selfishness and self indulgence, and
thus, we will experience no more misery.
We will forever 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 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 dawning of
that new age. We now experience the “end
times.”
There will be a day of transition,
marked by a momentous event – a Messianic announcement, which will bring world peace – followed by a sorting of
souls, and Judgment Day. A close inspection
of every human soul on that Day will determine who can attend the coming new
age – an age of peace, and an age of magnificent, advanced spiritual learning.
Guided by the wisdom of Christ, we will
re-establish clear telepathic communication, not only among ourselves, but also
between us and the animals; and we will thereby re-establish dominion over all
earthly creatures (great and small). We
will guide them, and convince them to abandon aggression – to adopt love,
gentleness and peace – and finally, “the lion will lay down with the
lamb,” as the meek receive their inheritance!
That wonderful time is not far
away. The day of transition is
near. Yet, “none can tell the hour nor
the day when man shall be revealed.”
We possessed telepathic abilities and
dominion over the animals prior to “the fall of man.” However, like an infant who could not
maintain a grasp, we lost our precious abilities (many ages ago) because of
selfishness. Judgment Day will separate
those of us who are finally prepared to maintain a grip on our inherited
God-given abilities, from those who are not.
Jesus’ instructions are now presented to
us, in Levi’s marvelous transcript of Messiah’s life and teachings. His transcription is published as The Aquarian
Gospel of Jesus the Christ – a new book of scripture that has only
recently been 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 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 to overcome the carnal
self too soon, 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!
Conversely, the Lord explained, when we travel in
the opposite direction, by flagrantly and habitually indulging in sensuous
pleasures, selfishness and egocentric desires, we are (knowingly or
unknowingly) violating God’s Law of Righteousness and we are busy sowing the
wind, because we cultivate illusions! When we foolishly do this (by
perusing status, affluence and sensual gratification) we eventually experience
many awful consequences, which bring restlessness, wretchedness and grief, as
we reap what we have sown.
Unenlightened souls are unaware that when
devastation comes, like disease and poverty (and all types of misery), we have
brought these upon ourselves. We become victims of our own
self-indulgence. When we live sensual
and selfish lives (with little self restraint), we soon suffer shocking
repercussions, because we have chosen to reside “where there is weeping and the
gnashing of teeth.”
When we choose to reside there (by allowing carnal,
selfish impulses to predominate) we soon experience (by law of nature) the pain
and misery of accidents and injuries, as well as physical and mental diseases,
misunderstandings, disputes, scarcity and wars, and all kinds of social
upheavals, and many kinds of “natural” disasters; and if we fail to reform
(fail to conquer our carnal passions and desires) we eventually experience the
most unpleasant repercussion of all – the illusion called death.
The story of Sodom and Zeboim
(Gomorrah) is the chronicle of a natural disaster that was brought about by one
culture’s frequent, flagrant violations of the Law of Righteousness. Many other cities and “lost” civilizations
disappeared due to similar repercussions.
(And now, during these end-times, we daily witness the awful sufferings
of individuals and groups – cities, businesses and states – who
pay the awful price for living selfish, indulgent lives.)
The severity of a person’s (or a civilization’s)
death-experience is directly proportional to the intensity of the
self-indulgent practices. A
self-indulgent nation’s demise arrives either by some “natural” disaster(s) or
at the hands of another culture’s superior weaponry or simply by mass migration
or government corruption, or by a combination of these. (Much of ancient Jewish Scripture describes
these kinds of events.) And, of course,
the axiom, “whoever wields the sword shall perish by the sword,” is always a factor.
My own cherished nation (and culture) is in danger
of perishing. If we do not soon turn
away from selfish, indulgent, wicked ways, we will quickly become nothing but a
memory – a mere paragraph in other nations’ history books. Wake up America! All nations, wake
up! Devastation and destruction are
knocking upon our very door. Learn how
to reform by studying Messiah’s Book!
The Aquarian
Gospel of Jesus the Christ
Messiah taught that self-indulgence
of any kind is sin; and “he who sins is slave to sin.” Furthermore, the person who understands this Truth,
and adjusts his life accordingly, by winning The Victory, is no longer slave,
but is free. The Truth has set him
free. (He has recovered from the fall of man.)
And he who attains this freedom is truly free, even from death. He (or she) will simply exit the physical
body at the proper time, without experiencing that awful trauma we call death.
Not even execution by crucifixion (or some other
gruesome torture) can change this, because the person who has obtained this
Liberty does not experience the pain that selfish, evil men
(in jealous rage) may attempt to inflict.
Furthermore, a master soul who willingly endures such abuse (with
forgiveness in his heart) has the power to self-resurrect – because he (or she)
has become a fully mature child of God, and is therefore given full access to
Divine Power.
The Lord advised the apostles that he would demonstrate this. Furthermore, most of them would soon follow
him, by forgiving their ignorant, brutal murderers (and many other disciples
would also follow this holy but difficult path).
Jesus (the Christ) revealed
these simple hidden truths to multitudes.
He explained these “secrets of the masters” to anyone (and to all) who
were humble enough (and willing) to sit at his feet and listen. Many bowed their heads, sat at this
carpenter’s son’s feet, and listened.
Many were saved – set free by the Truth.
They sat near Messiah around
campfires, and in synagogues, and they sat on grassy places and on floors in
farmers’ and shepherds’ homes. Those who
understood (and believed) followed him. They
strove to overcome the carnal self – because they knew they had found the
awesome “treasure hidden a field!” They
listened. They followed. They were blessed; and those who persevered
became free.
Scores of Jesus’ disciples accomplished
what is necessary to buy the precious field of “buried treasure” – they won The
Victory. They overcame all the passions and desires of the carnal self, and by winning this vital
struggle, they traveled the return path to Eden! They experienced no poverty or sickness (or
any other misery), for they had re-entered the Kingdom, from which we all were expelled (when
the fall of man occurred – many ages ago).
These Victorious followers of the Lord taught
others, and they, in turn, taught still others; and indeed, to this very day,
new believers continue to learn The Way, and win The Victory (a few at a
time). Thus, the mighty vine of Christ
has been continuously growing for 20 centuries, and many people (all who are
willing to listen) even now, become new disciples, and choose the straight
and narrow path. They follow the
Lord by overcoming the selfish self.
They return to Eden!
During a period of time (the years between winning
The Victory and the time of passing on) these victorious souls reside
simultaneously in two domains – in the 4-dimensional world we all know, and in
a peaceful, serene realm (of dimensions beyond) called Paradise. Jesus found this place of eternal peace and
joy while yet a boy, and he spent the remainder of his earthly life teaching
others to follow – as Messiah always does.
All triumphant followers of the Lord have entered
the joyous realm. These blessed men and
women do not experience poverty, accidents, disease or disasters (nor even death!).
When earthly work is done, they easily and painlessly discard the human
physical body (casting it off, like a worn out jacket).
Then, they continue residing in a serene and
peaceful region of the great beyond, called Eden – The Garden of Paradise. This is a tranquil transition. There, peace
and joy are magnified; and they go on, to learn greater lessons.
This is “Eternal Life,” which belongs to all who
faithfully follow Messiah. (And we
follow him by following his example of love and forgiveness, and by following
his advice to overcome the strong human tendency of self-indulgence.)
Those who have attained Eternal Life are given
important, sacred duties. After a period
of learning in the realm beyond, these victorious souls re-enter the physical
world (by re-incarnating), and their assigned responsibilities include teaching
others: guiding “lost souls” to the sacred walkway – the return path to Eden –
the trail blazed by our Savior. These
teachers are “the laborers in the field,” and there are always a few of them
among us. (“The harvest is great, but
the laborers are few.”)
These gifted teachers eventually pass on, yet they
return to earthly life again, and again, always teaching; and this cyclical
process continues for numerous incarnations, until each triumphant soul becomes
a very skilled and proficient servant of the human race, and a superior
teacher, and is recognized as a sage and master, and sometimes, as a prophet
(or prophetess). For example, Jesus
declared that Elijah (also known as Elias) reincarnated on Earth, and he was
Messiah’s harbinger – called John the Baptist.
Finally, each master-soul goes on… to several incarnations of highly advanced
learning – to eventually become a perfect teacher (with extensive access to
divine power), like Jesus, and like Miriam.
Yes, this is true.
Every child of God eventually becomes just like our Father, and attains
access to all the powers of God – because God and Man are One (just as seedlings and
cutting-sprouts are one with the parent-plant).
Jesus and Miriam are examples of what we – all –
will eventually become!
When a Messiah comes to Earth, God (our Father)
sends him to us, to demonstrate (to all who are willing to take notice) the
oneness of God and Man. He sends a
Messiah (a unified pair of fully mature souls) periodically – at the
commencement of every age. An age
consists of about 2,010
to 2,050 years. Thus, a
new age is very near. This truly is “the
dawning of the Age of Aquarius.”
Messiah is about to return! And Judgment Day looms.
Jesus explained to his disciples that both he and
Miriam were (and still are) examples of everything all of us will eventually
become, because they are our elder brother and sister, and they achieved
perfection – showing us The Way. And
this is how all men and women eventually become One with God (and this is the Christ – our destiny).
Furthermore, everyone who has succeeded, and is
living the holy life (the life of Christ) eventually (after many blessed
incarnations) incarnates into a world (selected by God, our Father), and
becomes not only a Christ, but also Messiah – a public demonstration of
Christ; and Messiah can demonstrate man’s ability to conquer death.
When this is accomplished, ”It is Finished.” A Perfect Man stands
before God, and no more incarnations are required. Immortality is achieved.
Notice that there is a difference between Eternal Life and Immortality. After Eternal Life is achieved, Immortality becomes the goal.
Whenever a superior master-soul has reached the
stage where he is prepared to become a Messiah, God (our Father) can always
find a world for him (in unbounded space) that is due to receive Imannuel; and there, he (and she – his female complement)
incarnate. Together, they live “the
perfect life,” and achieve Immortality. (Every couple’s destiny!)
God selected this world (2,000 years ago) for Jesus and
Miriam – two superior master-souls – spiritually bound together, as one.
This is the plan of Salvation! (Now revealed, during these
times of Revelations – Reveal-ations.) And this revelation of our Father’s plan
(described in the little book – the Aquarian Gospel) is indeed sweet as honey
in the mouth, but bitter to digest – just as the book of Revelation
describes.
By this awesome plan, all of God’s Children
eventually attain immortality. What else
can become of God’s offspring, other than to eventually attain full maturity,
and become exactly like our Father (as Jesus did, and as Miriam did)? Full maturity, perfection and immortality are
the goal of every one of our Father’s descendants – the destiny
of every human being!
Even the most selfish, depraved and vicious
criminals (convicted or not), after experiencing death, soon incarnate again,
and gradually learn better ways. After
many arduous and difficult incarnations (reaping what they have sown), they
eventually learn to live virtuously and become blessed and holy, and follow the
path of Christ, because God, our Father, never abandons a single one of His children (and He owns
Eternity).
Each earthly life is brief, and is much like a day –
in the long life of a human soul. And if
we diligently make good use of our talents every “day,” we make steady progress
on the souls’ long, arduous trek to perfection.
The life-story of Jesus and
Miriam is a pattern and example, for us youthful souls to emulate. They are elders, who have attained full human
maturity. And, to this day, they (and
other mature souls) continually watch over us, guiding us (their younger
brothers and sisters) to the ways of true human adulthood (the Way home, to God
– our Father).
Furthermore, once in a great while,
all people (who have achieved a certain level of soul-maturity) are invited to
attend a magnificent, sacred school – an era of accelerated spiritual learning
– in a heavenly, joyous environment, right here (in the earthly realm). The coming Age of Aquarius is that school; and
Judgment Day will determine who can attend.
Jesus’ mission
was to reveal these truths (and much more) to all who would listen.
He clearly stated:
“He who
believes this Gospel of the Son of man shall never die.”
Through the Aquarian Gospel,
the still, small voice has spoken – a mighty trumpet has sounded a mighty
blast, silent.
Who have ears to hear, let them hear:
Judgment Day is truly Near.
It’s coming fast,
It’s imminent.
How soon is imminent? None of us can know. We must always do our best to be
prepared. The unprepared will suffer the
grief of banishment from Heaven (the Aquarian Age). How prepared must one be? Jesus advised: “To whom much has been given, much is required;
and to whom a little has been given, a little only is
required.” Each must do his best.
However, winning The Victory is extremely difficult,
requiring extraordinary dedication and perseverance, and thus our Lord said,
“take stock of yourself before you start to follow me….and don’t look back,…remember Lot’s wife.”
He also advised:
"None can know the hour nor the day…keep watch at every season of the
year,... let not your hearts be overcharged with sensuous things, nor with the
cares of life, lest that day come and find you unprepared...and pray (each day)
that you may meet the Lord with joy, and not with grief." (ch. 112 vs. 16, and ch. 157 vs.
38, 39)

includes “signs” that Messiah’s return is near.)
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.
