The New Religion
Around two thousand years ago, the wisdom of the highest levels of life decided that the time was right for the emergence of a new religion for our world. And so God and the Angels provided some of the scribes of that time with ideas for one based on a person who is half human and half God by the name of Jesus *. He is presented as a very holy man who at quite an early age is accused of a crime of which he could never be guilty. As punishment the Romans are nailing him to a cross where he bleeds to death. Yet, before he dies this man promises that for anyone who believes in him he will reappear one fine day. He will then rescue them from their sad earthly existence and remove the yoke of their suffering by shouldering their sins and through this redeem them.
The above information came to me from my inner guidance, the living God or wise one within. This is the only reliable source of truthful spiritual knowledge in the whole of Creation. Jesus is one of the many symbols of this part of humankind’s nature; others names are God and Allah, Jehovah and Lord Krishna, plus whatever else. ‘Call Me by any name and I shall be there!’ Come to think of it, every human being’s inner guidance could therefore also be considered to be their own Jesus, so to speak. * And it’s my Jesus who is writing these words to you. How is yours reacting to them?
Back to the new religions of our world. As the centuries passed by, independent of how much misery and suffering had to be endured on the Earth plane, and there has always been plenty of that physically and mentally, emotionally and spiritual. It made no difference how much people called for and prayed to Jesus, he never came to fulfil his promise. Is there anybody around in this day and age who deep down seriously believes this strange tale? Even the slowest and most gullible ones in our midst must eventually come to the conclusion that God has to be something else.
When the majority of earthlings were still unaware of the higher purpose and meaning of their existence and that in truth there is only one God, in particular during the days when Christianity was still an influential and powerful presence in our world, wars were constantly raging somewhere. Priests on both sides busily and obligingly blessed the weapons of their side and prayed for its victory. Some of them no doubt are doing this kind of thing to this day somewhere. And how about the inquisition and the witch hunts that went on for centuries? In view of these things the Christian statement that its God is the God of love did not contain an ounce of credibility. A God who allows us to destroy each other by the millions and does not heed the call of those who are suffering *, who does nothing to save and redeem anyone, can that really be a God?
If He were, this God must be witnessing the suffering of His people, but no matter how hard they pray He comes to no-ones rescue. He refuses to intervene irrespective of how cruel and sadistic people behave towards each other, and how much and with what intensity they plead with Him to come, because He is a Divinity without compassion and mercy. He appears to hear and see nothing of what happens to His children of the Earth and do nothing to help them. What kind of a God * would that be? Reflections of this nature are bound to lead thinking and feeling human beings to the conclusion that God has to be something different from what we were made to believe during the six thousand years of patriarchy with its all-male Godhead. Is it any wonder that my parents and many others with them lost their belief in the Christian God during World War II *?
Each one of the religions of our world likes to think of itself as being in possession of the truth and declares itself to be the only holy-making one that, without fail, has the power of leading its followers up the spiritual mountain of life into the loving arms of God. In truth, every belief system has been and to this day is one of the many pathways that lead up this mountain. For thousands of years, this kind of false belief has been providing religious zealots with ever more excuses for troublemaking and warfare.
Those who have grown wise by now are aware that every religious conviction our world has ever known contains some golden nuggets of God’s sacred wisdom and truth, but never the whole truth. Such treasures are not easy to find because God and the Angels have usually hidden them from public view and knowledge in the form of symbolisms and metaphors behind the surface words of the sacred texts with which they have been providing us and our world. In this manner new ones were given from time to time. All of them together have been purposely designed so that eventually their teachings should be joined like pieces of a giant jigsaw puzzle. Only when every piece has found its rightful place, only then a picture * of God’s true nature and our own that makes a great deal of sense should at last emerge.
Now that Christianity has made such a splendid job of fulfilling its predestined task of teaching humankind the value of truth – through successfully suppressing and withholding it with every available means –might the time for this religion have come to open a new chapter in the acting our of its role? Or are its leaders meant to keep on avoiding the necessary changes, so that as a result the number of its followers continues to quietly shrivel away until this belief system has gone from our world completely, the way many others did in the course of humankind’s long evolutionary journey?
From the moment the Jesus legend came into being, God and the Angels in their infinite wisdom and kindness laid the finest tool imaginable, for the changes that in due course would have to be made, into Christianity’s hands. And that is the esoteric higher meaning that has always been hiding behind the surface words of Jesus legend. It’s there if they want it and no other religion has anything as potent as this to offer.
For many earthlings, with the passing of time, my jottings have become a handbook for a constantly improving understanding of the higher purpose and meaning of our existence as well as the principles and issues of the Aquarian Age. If there was going to be a New Christianity, what could be better suited for serving them and that without costing anyone a penny or a cent? But as usual, there is none so blind as those who do not wish to see. Any horse can only be led to the water, trying to push its head into it is never advisable and I would not dream of it.
