According to the ‘Aquarian Gospel of
Jesus the Christ’ which was transcribed directly from
the Akashic Records by
Levi, just as our Earth revolves around the sun, the whole solar system itself
revolves around a much larger and central star-sun which is millions of miles
distant. This orbit takes about 26,000 Earth years and is divided into twelve
signs of the Zodiac, each age (sign) lasting about 2,100 years.

His will is done on Earth and in Heaven. |
The start of the Age of Aries coincided with the appearance of
Abraham whose central message was the certain existence of the One God of all.
The Age of Pisces brought Jesus, who clarified and upgraded the Mosaic and
Jewish laws and provided us with true insights pertaining to Heaven from whence
he came and to which he returned. And now in the Age of Aquarius, it is widely
believed that Christ will come again to continue our spiritual education. Every
new age brings with it its own progressive teachings.
200-year preparations
Already, in preparation for the coming of the New
Age, modern scientific discoveries in just the last two hundred years have very
drastically changed the way we live. The electric light has turned night into
day and electric gadgets and appliances have freed us from the routine drudgery
of daily living affording us more time to engage in more important work and
recreation. The radio, telegraph, telephone and satellite communications have
made possible the instant exchange of information and technology with any
receiver or terminal anywhere in the world. The development of the printing
press has produced additional millions of volumes of books, newspapers and
magazines for easy and efficient dissemination of all kinds of knowledge.
Automobiles, ships and airplanes have speeded up travel and commerce. What
before took months can now be accomplished in less than a day.
From the camera to the Akashic Records
The invention of the camera led to the development of
motion pictures. Today, the Book of Life is rendered obsolete. In its place, we
can now appreciate the existence of the Akashic Records where pictures, sound
and even our most intimate, secret thoughts and feelings can be captured in 3D
and retrieved.
The inter-active global community
Computers have made the most complicated series of
operations performed in record speed almost automatically or activated by a
well thought out computer program. Probes and androids are replacing humans in
the workplace. Computers and telecommunications combining, the Internet has
turned different races and peoples in far-flung countries into one inter-active
global community.
Our space brothers are coming
Submarines and submersibles have explored the ocean
bottoms. Our space probes have mapped the outer planets. Our astronauts have
walked on the moon. And now, many claim to have ongoing encounters with
extra-terrestrials. Evidently, we are not alone.
All men are brothers regardless of their
differences
At the cost of many lives from Lincoln and the sex
slaves from the Orient to Black workers from Africa, slavery has been abolished
in most places. Through the successes of Sidney Poitier, Muhammad Ali, Michael
Jackson, Michael Jordan, Oprah Winfrey and others in every field of endeavor,
Blacks now are no longer regarded as inferior to Whites. With role models like
Golda Meier, Margaret Thatcher, Cory Aquino, Mother Teresa and Princess Di,
women are attaining equal status with men. Gay and lesbian rights are likewise being
recognized. All these are simply meant to teach us on a grand scale that all
men, regardless of their sex, color, creed or whatever difference, are
brothers, equally loved by God. So also are we to love one another and love
everyone as we love ourselves.
Sex in moderation
To provide an effective counterbalance to the
puritanical and socially acceptable but repressive and often absurd teachings
on sex, Hugh Hefner and Larry Flynt publicly lived out their alternative
lifestyles. The Hippie Movement from America, the Free Love Revolution from
Europe and the epidemic addiction to drugs together awakened us to the harmful
possibilities of too much freedom enjoyed too soon. Later, the high incidence
of AIDS would accentuate the need for everyone to get back to sanity and
moderation. The best is not in embracing the extremes but in opting for
somewhere in between within reason.
The world is one
Russia converted back to Christianity. To his credit, Mikhail Gorbachev pushed
for reforms that resulted in the oppressive Communist regime relinquishing much
of its power and territory and the end of the Cold War. The murders at
Tiananmen Square awakened the Chinese conscience. Without the active support of
the leader nations, Communism and the threat of Communist aggression have
waned. Soon, even the War on Terrorism will be won. And world peace will
be nearer our grasp.
Worldwide problems of the environment involving nuclear fallout and waste
disposal, environmental pollution and global warming caused by hothouse gases
depleting the ozone layer have made real to most countries their
interdependence and the need for them to mount a concerted action to resolve
the threats to Mother Earth.
The mass migrations, inter-racial marriages and the
global expansion of multinational business concerns have provided great
opportunities for cultural exchange and deeper understanding among the nations.
Soon, we will come to a greater realization that all of us inhabit just one
solitary spaceship, the Earth. All things that harm it also adversely impact
every living being on the planet. We need to be more responsible and avoid
doing harm, and we need to do it together.
Geologic changes are also predicted to occur.
Earthquakes and volcanic eruptions are expected to continue. Some old and
contemporary psychics and seers insist that the California coastline and many
parts of Japan will be reclaimed by the sea, while other lands will rise.
Whether true or not, we need to be better prepared for any and all such
eventualities. What affects any part of the world affects the whole, as
well.
The spiritual component of the New Age
The old Eastern teachings have resurfaced affording
us another opportunity to understand them better. Yoga physical disciplines
hone the body and make it more easily responsive to the will of the spirit.
Yoga practices relating to doing the right thing and serving our brothers
directly develop our spirituality. Meditation, like praying the rosary, clears
and focuses the mind and opens it to divine inspiration. Reincarnation, the
doctrine of successive lives, and Karma, the law of cause and effect, sowing
and reaping, are the twin principles the operations of which guarantee our
continued evolution and spiritual perfection through individual merit.
Questions and objections regarding Papal
infallibility, celibacy, veneration of images, saintly interventions, birth
control, abortion, euthanasia and others are being disputed by Catholics and
Protestants, even among their own ranks. Eventually, all that are false will be
discarded and only those that are true will remain.
Theosophy and Lobsang Rampa
Miracles, supernatural healings and apparitions amaze
everyone and new explanations are offered. At about 1850, to call our attention
to the more spiritual aspects of our being and commence the necessary
preparations for the coming new age, two important major movements drawing
extensively from supernatural sources were initiated, one by the Great White Brotherhood, the
other by the Spirits of Truth. Eastern and Western, they constitute two
seemingly different approaches, but each complements the other and both are
working for the same goals. There is only One God and one Truth.
By 1875, the great libraries had all been razed to
the ground or ravaged by war and almost all of the old sacred books and records
were destroyed. To reintroduce the Wisdom Teachings of the ancients, the Great
White Brotherhood commissioned the services of their “chela,” Madame Helena P.
Blavatsky. With the use of her spiritual faculties highly developed from past
incarnations, she clairvoyantly accessed the lost information from the Akashic
Records and compiled them all in ‘The Secret Doctrine.’ She
also founded the Theosophical Society to oversee the dissemination of these
ancient teachings and prepare candidates for “chelahood,” a state where
candidates have qualified for acceptance as a student of the Masters, henceforth
meriting direct and personalized guidance and instruction. Theosophical studies
cover the origin and development of the cosmos and human development in all the
planes of being from its beginning to its end.
Following in this tradition a century later, the
Tibetan lama, Lobsang Rampa, was
tasked to further simplify, clarify and upgrade the Eastern teachings. Adept at
soul travelling, highly clairvoyant and telepathic, he recounts his experiences
and provides us with startling revelations relating to the Unseen World. Highly
evolved himself, he understands the divine teachings more completely and he
teaches and explains them in his books which became bestsellers.
Guidance by the Holy Spirits
As early as 1850, the Spirits of Truth with the
spirit guides and guardian angels had already initiated their own work in the
Christian context. Their primary objective then was to provide proofs of the
survival of the spirit. Countless Spiritualist mediums in Europe and America
now began to manifest all sorts of magical and highly entertaining phenomena.
Tables rapped messages, so did Ouija boards convey information from beyond.
Ghosts and apparitions regaled and frightened. Objects flying all over the
place appeared and disappeared from view. Much of these manifestations were
subsequently proven to be false, but enough of the genuine articles convinced
those with open minds that there is a greater reality, another world beyond
ours.
After the more thoughtful among the people got over
their fascination and wonder, they began to question why all the fuss, what
does it all mean. This time, the Spirits chose a Frenchman,
Leon-Denizarth-Hippolyte Rivail, a member of several learned societies and a
scientist-researcher well known in scientific circles to disseminate their
explanations and teachings. Through various mediums and countless séances, a
special team of Spirit teachers, among them the Apostle John and St. Augustine,
communicated to Rivail the beginning basis of the promised revelations, the All
Truth referred to by Jesus, the many things kept hidden since the foundation of
the world, which in Jesus’ time, the people would not have been able to
understand.
Rivail included all these revelations in his books, ‘The
Spirits’ Book’ and others under the penname of Allan
Kardec, according to the instructions of the Guides. They later formed the
underlying teachings of Spiritism,
which term simply means guidance by the Holy Spirit. In the Philippines and in
Brazil in the mid-1900s, psychic surgeons belonging to this school performed
their barehanded and painless operations and attracted large followings. In the
United States today, Channeling has taken over from Spiritualism. Each addition
to the series brings new insights and reveals deeper aspects of the same
eternal Truths.
To provide Scriptural support to the New Teachings,
the Spirits of Truth allowed an American, Levi (Levi H. Dowling), to transcribe
directly from the Akashic Records. The fifth gospel account, ‘The Aquarian
Gospel of Jesus the Christ,’ provides us with a fuller account of the life and
teachings of the Lord, which includes reincarnation and contains a complete
record of the lost eighteen years so strangely silent in the New
Testament.
Edgar Cayce and reincarnation
In the early 1900s under the control of the same
Spirits of Truth, one of America’s greatest prophets, the sleeping Edgar Cayce, revealed useful information
during his sleep. Initially, the readings addressed physical complaints and
ailments and detailed unorthodox and unknown cures which proved very effective.
Soon after, the life readings which over time numbered some 2,500 turned to
more important spiritual concerns with reincarnation as their central theme.
From the details of past lives bearing on the present situations, invaluable
guidance was provided and the increased understanding enabled many to resolve
their most difficult and pressing problems.
The contributions of the Christian
churches
The Catholic Church has its own important
contributions to the coming New Age. At Lourdes, Fatima, Garabandal, Akita,
Medjugorje, in Egypt and Africa, Mary asked for prayers and enjoined the people
to live holy lives. Padre Pio and many lesser-known saints and healers effected
miraculous healings. Cursillos, life in the spirit seminars, couples for Christ
outreaches, youth mobilizations and mass prayer rallies continue to sustain the
interest and devotion of the faithful. To revitalize and prepare the Church for
the advent of the Third Millennium and reverse the trend of Protestant
conversions, a New Catechism was just recently promulgated.
Revival has erupted everywhere. Protestant preachers
and televangelists, the likes of Billy Graham, Benny Hinn and Pat Robertson,
with his unique long distance healing by “word of knowledge” over the airwaves,
are actively targeting all the nations of the world for evangelization. The
lame walk, the deaf hear and the blind now see. And the old Gospel message is
preached to all nations.
Peripheral and hugely popular New Age
studies
New Age schools are raising the consciousness of
many. Thoughts are things and thought creates. We are what we think we are. It
is possible if we think that it is possible. What we can visualize, we can
materialize into being. Therefore, we should concentrate only on what is good
and think positive.
Psychic development courses are well attended. They
being our natural and inherent properties, we can if we so choose begin to
develop our faculties of clairvoyance, psychometry, astral traveling,
telekinesis and healing. They will afford us true insights and personal,
undeniable proofs of spiritual realities. In the Age of Aquarius, we are no
longer to be limited to our five physical senses. Alternative healing classes
teach vegetarianism and proper dieting, stress control, herbal medicine,
pyramid and crystal powers, and magnetic and pranic healing.
Scientific evidences
For the scientific minded, more recent researches
done by Dr. Raymond Moody on persons who suffered near death experiences tend
to prove survival. Dr. Ian Stevenson’s 2,000 researched cases and the hypnotic
regressions conducted by Dr. Helen Wambach support reincarnation.
But all these did not come easily. There were massive
opposition every step of the way and they are not expected to dissipate
anytime, soon. After all, we really need to ferret out mistakes and weed out
false concepts before we can arrive at the correct conclusions. Hence,
opposition to new ideas should be considered healthy and necessary, and to be
expected.
The Truth marches on
In addition, the upgrading of previous instruction is
ever continuing. To spirits, there is infinite progress and no end to learning.
Therefore, any new knowledge is not to be feared. Instead, this should be
scrutinized, analyzed and tested with our minds open. How else can we go
forward? So let us be more courageous. Let us venture out into uncharted
territories and learn new things. Further down the road, our trust in God will
ensure that the Truth will triumph in the end.

teachings of Jesus Christ clarified and made plain
A little history
This article first appeared just before the turn of the Millennium in the Inner Quest Website 1999-2010. Since its writing, developments have proceeded on every front.
Today, the principles and ideals of the New Age permeate most all sectors of human society with the deeper and more profound aspects of the divine teachings still to be revealed.
A black African-American, the first non-white, now sits as president of the United States while a lady-candidate for the same position waits to possibly assume the position he will vacate, the first woman to attain the position. Most of the mentioned events and developments have progressed in order that the corresponding spiritual lessons may be better appreciated and more fully understood.
In recognition of the massive influence and contributions of the New Age, many religious, Catholic and Protestant, have come out with their own contrary statements to stem the tide of conversions, preserve their power, position and way of life - Slightly aware but not yet completely able to comprehend the new truths and the inevitability of the coming great changes.
Serious students wanting to learn more can profit by studying the differing positions relating to New Age. One of the typical “Christian” view of New Age is found here - https://carm.org/new-age-movement/what-is-the-new-age-movement/. The Vatican reflection is here - http://www.vatican.va/roman_curia/pontifical_councils/interelg/documents/rc_pc_interelg_doc_20030203_new-age_en.html. And the Inner Quest response to the Vatican stand is here - https://innerquest1.blogspot.com/2006/09/spirits-response-to-vatican-on-new-age.html.
Everyone should conduct his own independent study before he can come to his own well-considered conclusions.
Those who feel that the New Age Movement has come and is now long gone are mistaken and are in for a huge surprise.
What the world has witnessed in the past represent just the tip of the iceberg, so to speak. The rebels and innovators, scientists and researchers, psychics, seers, mediums, healers and revealers are the scouts of the New Age Movement. Pitted against the disbelieving world, they took on the flak but introduced the beginning bases of the new teachings and prepared the way for more.
The main force of the New Age Movement is following closely behind, with Christ leading the charge. The real movement is coming at you, sooner than you expect.
