from Jesus:
If you use the precession
of the equinoxes, as do most Western astronomers and astrologers, the
age of Pisces is coming to an end and the earth is entering the next
2000 year cycle of Aquarius. I am not thereby saying that there is anything
wrong with using the Vedas. One of the most important realizations that
any spiritual seeker can come to is that there are many valid ways to
seek to explain the universal truth of God.
You see, the living truth of God is truly beyond the words and images
that human beings can fathom and accept, given their current level of
consciousness. As people continue to progress towards more advanced
stages of consciousness, it will be possible for the Ascended Host to
release a higher and more universal understanding of the mysteries of
God. However, it will never be possible to bring forth a complete and
accurate understanding of God. Such an understanding simply cannot be
brought into the material universe.
We of the Ascended Host are the spiritual teachers of humankind. We
are not concerned about bringing forth some kind of absolute religion
or absolute belief system. Our concern is to bring forth a philosophical,
religious or scientific theory that will help people rise to a higher
level of understanding. When people rise to that higher level, we can
then bring forth a higher and more advanced teaching, and this can go
on for a very long time. I can assure you that it will take thousands
of years before this planet will rise to a point where we can release
the highest possible truth.
Therefore, you must understand that any system existing on this planet
is only an approximation of truth. Unfortunately, immature souls, meaning
souls who still identify with the relativity and duality of the carnal
mind (see the Teachings
section), have a very strong desire to find an ultimate or absolute
system. That is why so many people believe their religion is the only
true religion and that all other religions are false. This is also the
reason why so many people believe that science is the only way to find
truth and that religion and spirituality are inherently subjective and
unreliable.
As a soul matures, it will gradually begin to understand that truth
simply cannot be confined to any religious doctrine or scientific theory.
As the soul gains deeper intuitive experiences, the soul begins to understand
that the only way to know truth is to look beyond the material world.
This does not mean that the soul should then abandon any kind of religious
or scientific system. You see, any system can be valuable in terms of
giving the soul a platform or frame of reference for the soul’s
inquiry into the deeper mysteries.
The important point here is that the soul must realize that the deeper
mysteries of God cannot be confined to the system. Therefore, ultimate
truth is not found within the system itself. The system should be used
only as a springboard that will help the soul gain intuitive insights.
Only through these intuitive insights will the soul be able to know
the deeper truth of God.
It is important to always keep in mind that no system is ever complete
and no system is ever final. As I have explained elsewhere on this
site, there is an ongoing need for progressive revelation. You must
understand that we of the Ascended Host are constantly looking for individuals
who have reached a certain level of maturity so they can serve as our
messengers in some capacity. As explained elsewhere,
there are many ways to serve as a messenger for the Ascended Host. For
example, when a soul has studied a particular system, be it in the field
of religion, spirituality or science, the soul has then acquired the
outer knowledge that allows the soul to grasp a deeper understanding
through an intuitive experience.
We of the Ascended Host are ever ready to give such intuitive experiences
to sensitive souls. As a soul matures, it will no longer be concerned
about competing with other people about who has the best system. Instead,
the soul will direct its attention towards gaining deeper intuitive
insights that will allow the soul to be the instrument for bringing
forth a higher understanding of some aspect of life.
The new age
Concerning the passing of the ages, you must understand that it is virtually
meaningless to set a specific date as the dividing line between the
age of Pisces and the age of Aquarius. An immature soul, looking for
an absolute system, will seek such a precise date, and a bit of research
will reveal to you that there are numerous claims concerning the exact
time for the beginning of the age of Aquarius. In reality, there is
no clearly defined dividing line between one age and the next, because
the ages always overlap.
What truly brings in a new age is the release of spiritual energies
from the Ascended Host. We do not simply release these energies at a
specific time or because certain stars line up. We base the release
of energies on the current state of consciousness of humankind. In other
words, if people reach a certain level of consciousness we can release
the energies of the new age sooner than if people hang on to the ways
and the beliefs of the old age.
During the 1890’s, we of the Ascended Host released a measure
of spiritual energy that started the process of bringing in the Age
of Aquarius. At the same time, it was also determined that certain spiritual
teachings would be made available to the general public for the first
time in many millennia. Over the past century, many people have opened
their minds and hearts to a deeper spiritual understanding of life.
This openness has contributed to the release of more spiritual energy
which has hastened the dawn of the new age. However, so many people
are still holding on to the beliefs of the Age of Pisces that we still
cannot fully release the energies of Aquarius. Therefore, you cannot
say that the Age of Aquarius has fully arrived or that the Age of Pisces
has completely ended.
In reality, a few people have been in the Aquarian consciousness since
the 1890’s while many people are still firmly entrenched in the
consciousness of Pisces. In fact, millions of people are still stuck
in the consciousness of Aries and some are even stuck in the more primitive
consciousness of previous ages.
The important point
is not so much exactly when the Age of Aquarius begins. The important
point is that all spiritual seekers embrace the consciousness of the
new age so that they can serve as anchor points or open doors for the
descent of the energies of Aquarius.
When will the age of Aquarius have fully arrived? I cannot answer that
question, because it depends on the consciousness of the people and
their response to the spiritual energies and the spiritual teachings
that we of the Ascended Host are continually releasing.
Use your intuition
As I have stated elsewhere on this
site, the true goal of life is that you attain deeper contact with
your higher self, what I call your Christ self. By using that contact
to look beyond the doctrines or systems found on this planet, you will
attain a deeper understanding of life.
The Vedas represent an old system. I am not saying that the Vedas are
no longer valid or relevant. I am simply saying that you would do well
to contemplate the fact that the Vedas are old. If you will use your
intuition and seek answers from your higher self, you might realize
the need for progressive revelation and a progressively higher understanding
of the platform that was given in the Vedas. If you openly seek answers
from within, your higher self will give you this understanding.
Let me conclude by giving you one thought to contemplate. Some modern
scientists believe that the universe is expanding at an accelerated
rate. What is actually happening is that the vibratory rate of the entire
universe is being raised. This is part of God’s plan for bringing
his kingdom into the material universe.
Modern scientists realize that time is affected by the speed of movement.
Therefore, if the universe is expanding at an accelerated rate, it would
follow that time will be shortened. Contemplate what that means for
astrology, be it Eastern or Western, and for that matter even for astronomy.
You see, human beings have a great desire to find something constant
and invariable. In reality, nothing in this universe is constant, not
even time.
