The New Approach

Douglas asks:
Several times John mentioned previous attempts that have failed. Did you ever get any further details about these attempts?

JJ:
There seems to be a lot of people curious about this for I have been asked this question numerous times. Unfortunately, this is one of the few questions not to be answered at present. I anticipate giving the full answer at some time in the future, but will not promise any time frame.

The other thing I do not answer is what is fact and what is fiction in the story line. I have, however, periodically elaborated on some of the true parts to the group as well as given various hints. Also all my teachings to the Keys are true as far as I have ability to elucidate it.

At the cusp of each age the Brotherhood has to reassess their approach to humanity. Each age demands a different approach and since the coming age is particularly significant the approach is likely to be altered more than in the past.

Why is the coming age of such significance? Because we are not only entering a lesser Aquarian cycle of around 2160 years but also a greater Aquarian cycle of over 25,000 years. This is a rare occurrence and is the reason that so many changes are taking place, especially in the area of the mind, air and space which is governed by Aquarian energies.

Just as human scientists must experiment to find that which works and that which does not, even so must the spiritual scientists in the Hierarchy experiment with humanity, especially in dealing with the changes of a new age. The higher lives are not perfect as many suppose, but their judgment and decisions are on a higher level than ours.

During the Piscean age certain approaches to humanity became dependable and the results predictable. But with the tremendous inflow of the of the Aquarian energies from both a greater and lesser cycle even the Masters of Wisdom are tested to the max in doing their part to step down the energies and light so it will be wisely used for the next couple hundred years as we adjust to the new cycle.

Along these lines it is of interest to note that the Piscean Age did not begin with the date given for the coming of Christ. At 4 BC the Piscean Age was already a couple hundred years old. There were several great teachers before the coming of Christ of which only a scant reference is made by history. Even so, the turning point of the Aquarian age was the end of the Great War in 1945 and it is most likely that we will have a trinity of significant teachers that will have been recognized within a couple hundred years from now. In addition there will be numerous supporting teachers.

The thing to register is that because the approach of the Brotherhood to humanity is unique to the times that it may take some time before the teachers are recognized by the mainstream for a different note and tone will be sounded by the various lights.

The Brotherhood, of course, have worked on more than two projects or endeavors, but a particular two that failed were mentioned in the book. Actually there is no such thing as failure to one who learns from mistakes and moves ahead and even the great lives must learn from that which does not work.

In the past all that was needed was a few miracles, a vision and some new teachings and the teacher was assured to draw a significant following who would listen to his every word.

But now at this juncture there are so many claiming miracles that the intelligent often ignore them. There are so many claiming visions and supernatural contact that one more seems meaningless to an Aquarian mind. Then there are so many claiming new teachings from the brotherhood or ascended masters or God himself that a true teacher may seem like one more crackpot and get lost in the shuffle.

Because of these changing times and energies several attempts by the Brotherhood received little recognition and got smothered in the multitude of competitive astral teachings that had more emotional appeal. Therefore, certain attempts had to be withdrawn and a fresh approach taken.

The Immortal is a part of this experimental new approach where the teachings are presented with a little enhanced entertainment to a world that demands much more than a black and white presentation. So far progress has been far from spectacular, but we have been successful in drawing some excellent seed disciples. This work of which I am a part is just experiencing its true beginning, for remember the Immortal project will consist of twelve books altogether. When the twelve are completed I believe we will all see that the presentation has adjusted to the times and will indeed succeed. Eventually many millions of copies of the books will be sold.

But timing is something that even the greatest lives have difficulty predicting so I will not set a time frame for success - except to say that it will happen. And if I should fail another will come.

And yes, there are numerous disciples with numerous missions, but each is unique and one does not compete with the other.

"How would I feel were my wish realized?" is the feeling which should monopolize and immobilize your attention as you relax into sleep. Neville
