from Jesus:
It is a wonderful
book, and Thomas a Kempis was truly one of my messengers. There is so
much timeless teaching in the book that it is highly relevant even today.
One of the main topics in the book is that everyone can commune directly
with God. This is the exact same message that I am trying to present
on this website. Obviously, this is no coincidence. We of the Ascended
Host have been trying to get people to understand that same message
for thousands of years.
In the Age of Aquarius, it is more important than ever that people understand
this message, because in the new age people have a greater opportunity
to commune directly with God than ever before.
When reading the imitation of Christ, keep in mind that the book was
written six centuries ago. It was written in and for a predominantly
Catholic culture. Therefore, there were many things that could not be
said in the book, because they would go too far beyond church doctrine.
At the time, this would have led to persecution of the author and have
caused many people to be afraid to read the book. In fact, back then
some people considered the book to be far too radical. Some people still
do.
Also keep in mind that the book was written during the so-called Dark
Ages. It was a time when life was much harder than it is for most people
in today’s Western world. Therefore, the book tends to focus more
on suffering and on life’s hardships than is relevant for today.
Nevertheless, the book is a wonderful example of how one person can
raise his or her consciousness and serve as a messenger for the Ascended
Host. It is a wonderful source of inspiration that can help anyone commune
with God.
