by Michael F. O’Keeffe
What is The Aquarian Gospel?
The full title of the book, as published, is “The
Aquarian Gospel of Jesus The Christ,” * transcribed by Levi. (The transcriber’s full name is Levi H.
Dowling.)
Below is a selection from chapter 7, which well
explains the source of Levi’s transcription.
The scene below opens as Elihu and Salome, master teachers, are helping
their two students comprehend the mission of their sons. Elihu concludes the lesson with a most remarkable reference, which indicates the origin
and function of The Aquarian Gospel.
6) Now, Mary and Elizabeth were
marveling much because of their deliverance (from the carnage in
7) Elihu said,
It is not strange; there are no (random)
happenings; law governs all events.
8)
From olden times it was ordained that you should be with us, and in this sacred
school be taught.
9) Elihu and Salome took Mary
and Elizabeth out to the sacred grove nearby where they were wont to teach.
10) Elihu said to Mary and
Elizabeth,
You may esteem yourselves thrice blest, for you are
chosen mothers of long promised sons,
11) Who are ordained to lay in solid rock a sure foundation stone on which the
temple of the perfect man shall rest – a temple that shall never be destroyed.
12) We measure time by cycle ages, and the gate to every age we deem a
milestone in the journey of the (human) race.
13) An age has passed; the gate unto another age flies open at the touch of
time. This is the preparation age of soul, the kingdom of Immanuel, of God in
man;
14) And these, your sons, will be the first to tell the news, and preach the
gospel of good will to men, and peace on earth.
15) A mighty work is theirs; for carnal men want not the light, they love the
dark, and when the light shines in the dark they comprehend it not.
16) We call these sons, Revealers of the Light; but they must have the light
before they can reveal the light.
17) And you must teach your sons, and set their souls on fire with love and
holy zeal, and make them conscious of their missions to the sons of men.
18) Teach them that God and man are one; but that through carnal thoughts and
words and deeds, man tore himself away from God; debased himself.
19) Teach that the Holy Breath would make them one again, restoring harmony and
peace;
20) That naught can make them one but Love; that God so loved the world that he
has clothed his son in flesh that man may comprehend.
21) The only Savior of the world is love, and Jesus, son of Mary, comes to manifest
that love to men.
22) Now, love cannot manifest until its way has been prepared, and naught can
rend the rocks and bring down lofty hills and fill the valleys up, and thus
prepare the way, but purity.
23) But purity in life, men do not comprehend; and so, it too, must come in
flesh.
24) And you, Elizabeth, are blest because your son is purity made flesh, and he
shall pave the way for love.
25) This age will comprehend but little of the works of Purity
and Love; but not a word is lost, for in the Book of God's Remembrance a
registry is made of every thought, and word, and deed;
26) And when the world is ready to receive, lo, God will send a messenger to
open up the book and copy from its sacred pages all the messages of Purity and
Love.
27) Then every man of earth will read the words of life in language of his
native land, and men will see the light, walk in the light and be the light.
28) And man again will be at one with God.
Levi, the man who transcribed The Aquarian Gospel, copied it from “the
sacred pages of the Book of God’s Remembrance,” mentioned above. The messages of Purity and Love are now
available. The book of Christ is here! This book teaches us how to clothe ourselves
in robes of righteousness, so that we may be prepared; prepared for the long
awaited, coming glorious event – the return of Christ, the Messiah; and the
judgment day!
(The
Aquarian Gospel is the greatest self-help book ever written; and warm hearts
can understand.)
