The New Spirituality

Quoting JJ from a previous message, a student wrote:

"Now we are entering the Aquarian Age and a new work will be attempted for those who are ready. It will be as different from the Christian church as a leaf is different from a branch. Even so, both are essential parts of the whole."

The student then asks:

"You speak of 'a new work' -- and how 'it will be as different from the Christian Church as a leaf is different from a branch.'

"Are you speaking of; or did you intend to speak of religion as a whole, or just 'the Christian Church'?"

JJ:

I was speaking of the new spirituality, which will evolve among humanity as a whole. In the coming age different branches of Christianity and Islam will still be around just as the pre Piscean religions of Judaism, Buddhism and Hinduism are still around.

But the evolving new religion which will prefer to not identify itself as religion, but spiritual, will develop through the mass consciousness of those who are Aquarian thinkers. They, as a group, will not be any organized religion (though there will be organizations within it), but will, as a whole, recognize certain ascertained truths of unity. Just as people of all religions, even atheists, celebrate Christmas, even so will the people of the new spirituality see the value of uniting under various celebrations, holidays, teachings, ceremonies, etc.

I'm not talking about the Molecular Relationship here as this, and many other things, will evolve out of the new spirituality.

Student:

"You also state that 'a new work will be attempted for those who are ready...' Is this 'new work' that you speak of something different and/or in addition to what is being attempted here with the teachings given here? Or are you referring to some other 'new' teachings that have yet to be revealed and/or taught?"

JJ:

The new work includes many of the things I teach as well as many other things that will evolve through the new spirituality.

Student:

"I think that it would be equally important to note that why or how is it that if the highest of masters do not fully understand 'The Plan,' and when we consider all the 'greats of greats' who have incarnated and brought down or with them their perception of The Plan -- and were unable to get it to work (or take root) -- at least to the extent that it was 'self sustaining' -- and why is it that 'we' now think that 'we' have perceived (or do perceive) enough of it, or perceived it correctly enough to make a difference?"

JJ:

Of course, none of the past masters and teachers were able to get the whole plan working for the whole plan is not yet here. The successful ones were able to produce additional growth toward the sunlight (son-light). Many teachers have got enough of their portion of the Plan working to produce growth and that is to be counted as success.

We can look back on the ancient Israelites and see their animal sacrifices and wars of extermination as primitive but they had success according to the growth that was needed at that point in development.

The Founders [of The USA] did not eliminate slavery, but they planted the seeds of growth that took us out of it.

Only the generation (and a few of the wise in the present) that experiences the growth of the times can understand correctly.

Early in the womb we looked like tadpoles and had tails. Whatever we did with those tails had meaning then, but not much now.

Quoting JJ another student wrote:

"Even so, each prophet, seer and master teacher will teach differently. Each will also have their consciousness centered on a different part of the growth, but all will have their attention on growth. They may not understand exactly where that growth will lead, but know this: Growth is where they know they must proceed with all their strength.

"For those of you seeking to establish soul contact the above paragraph is a major hint."

Dan:

"I guess I don't understand the way you are using the word 'hint' or why. Why 'hint'? Why not just say whatever 'it' (what you are hinting at) is outright?"

JJ:

The above is like a seed thought. All the benefits of a seed thought cannot be explained in black-and-white, but contemplation upon them will bring intuitive flashes.

Dan:

"They not only 'may not understand exactly where growth will lead' but they may not even know how to distinguish between growth and simple change. So, now that I know that growth is where I must 'proceed with all my strength,' how do I distinguish between that which is a simple change and that change which results in positive growth? Or is it a simple matter of evaluate as much as you can but ultimately you must just 'try it and see'?"

JJ:

Ultimately it comes down to judgement. Fortunately, we have within us the sense as to whether we are just going through mindless change or real growth. All we have to do is pay attention to our sense of it. Just as one does not need any special ability to recognize whether he is rising up or sitting down he can sense his inner growth. As long as the person always goes with the growth he will eventually arrive at soul contact that he can understand.
