John and Jesus...in the Aquarian Gospel Sect.II Chapter 2..

[Guest guest]

Dear All,

 

Appended is the story of the Angel Gabriel visiting Elizabeth and Mary and

telling them that John and Jesus were to be born. John... it is said... was

called John from the beginning of the Age and his name means the " the mercy of

the Lord " . John is also filled with the Holy Spirit (Holy Breath) from birth. In

Sahaj terminology he was " born-realised " :

 

" From the beginning of the Age your son has borne the name of John, the mercy of

the Lord; his name is John. He will be honoured in the sight of God, and he will

drink no wine, and from his birth he will be filled with Holy Breath. "

 

It is interesting that a person who is " filled with Holy Breath " will " drink no

wine " . This is something that Sahaja Yogis ( " born of the Spirit) persons have

found out too. Once the kundalini energy is awakened in them and flowing through

their bodies, two things generally happen which are:

 

1. They generally lose their desire for alcohol (and other substances)... and i

seem to recall that Shri Mataji taught that connecton to the Divine brought the

seratonin levels flowing in the brain which could account for this on the

body-mind level, because it seemed that a lot of persons were able to quit these

substances quite quickly and with considerable ease... practically overnight!

This is because the awakened kundalini energy just changes everything completely

in the whole body.

 

2. After self-realisation, people generally find that they have a heightened

sensitivity to for example, alcohol. Even a few sips can bring a reaction in the

body very quickly because the kundalini energy after all... is the clearing

energy... and it works straight away to start clearing the poison of the

alcohol. So... " kundalini awakened " people generally feel that it goes against

their system and thus avoid it. It just makes sense. One cannot seem to stay in

the " collectively conscious " state if the other is there.

 

So... Shri Mataji has taught that it is good to avoid it. i know that there was

one individual who told Shri Mataji that he really felt desire to drink. She

told that if he really desired it, then he must have the drink... otherwise he

would only be torturing himself with that. That surprised Sahaja Yogis because

Shri Mataji really advised us strongly against alcohol... for our wellbeing.

 

Shri Mataji taught that a lot of people in today's society drink alcohol to dull

their thoughts... to dull their brain, so that they can relax. She also taught

that people in today's societies unfortunately get so caught up in thinking too

much and find that their thoughts go 'round and 'round and drive them crazy

because they find they can't stop their thoughts. That is why the alcohol helps

them... to stop this vicious circle!

 

The thing is... having one's self-realisation and meditating gives the lasting

inner joy that alcohol does not. It stops the thoughts, too. The pleasure i get

from being 'drunk with the Holy Spirit' (meaning the high spiritual feeling i

get from connection with the Divine Within)... is much greater than any feeling

i ever got from drinking wine. There is just no artificial substance that can

simulate the joy of the Spirit, which " is the real thing! " The spiritual

connection gives the real thing, which is an inner love, joy and peace within.

 

In relation to such things, we must always be loving, understanding and

non-judgmental. Realised person will realise what they must do. We cannot tell

others how to lead their lives. The Spirit within will reveal what is right to

them... and so will their body too...:)When a person is born again, all the

energy centres (chakras) are awakened and they will soon let you know if you

have ingested anything that goes against their energy flow.

 

Shri Mataji... who advised us not to drink alcohol... once confided to us that

at this particular function which She attended with Her husband (and She

attended many of these functions)... people were pressing the social drink on to

Her. She refused and refused but one day She accepted a drink... just to please

them for once. She told us this. Again... we were surprised since She was so

much against us drinking alcohol. i guess it shows a kind of... that whatever it

is... we cannot be fanatical. We are not Puritans... we cannot be completely

rigid in every situation... is i think what She conveyed (well to me... anyway!)

 

Shri Jesus and Shri Mataji save people from their sins... from their karmas.

" Sins " means " karmas " . You might ask: What is sin? Sin is anything that

separates us from the Divine... from God Almighty. 'That is what is sin'.

Through Shri Mataji's Pure Knowledge of the Spirit and the Awakening of the Holy

Spirit within us, She has helped us overcome our separation from God... from the

Divine. We are again connected to the Kingdom of God within ourselves.

 

" Immanuel " which means " God With Us " ... is Jesus's name. He gave people who

would listen... the knowledge to obtain their salvation... their moksha. He told

that we have to " go within " to the " temple within " . He was the Day Star from on

high who visited mankind in the Last Age and he was the Great Light that shone

in the spiritual darkness in the Last Age of Pisces... showing the ways of

peace. He said that:

 

" These things I have spoken to you, while abiding with you. But the Helper, the

Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, S/He will teach you all

things, and bring to your remembrance all that I said to you. " (John 14:25-26)

 

Shri Mataji is the Avatar for this Age, which is the Age of the Outpouring of

the Holy Spirit (the Age of Aquarius). It is fitting that at this Age of the

Outpouring of the Spirit of God that the Avatar or Incarnation of the Holy

Spirit has come. The two are actually very connected. Jesus, the Christ told

that the Comforter would come, and She has come. It is the Incarnation of the

Holy Spirit/Comforter that has opened up the Kingdom of God within human beings

(in their Sahasrara) and this is the same Kingdom of God Within that Jesus, the

Christ prophesied about... that was to come on Earth.

The Aquarian Gospel

Section II - Birth and Infancy of John the Harbinger, and of Jesus…

 

Chapter 2 – (Zacharias and Elizabeth. Prophetic messages of Gabriel to

Zacharias, Elizabeth and Mary. Birth of John. Prophecy of Zacharius)

 

Near Hebron in the hills of Judah, Zacharias and Elizabeth abode. They were

devout and just, and every day they read the Law, the Prophets and the Psalms

which told of one to come, strong to redeem; and they were waiting for the king.

 

Now, Zacharias was a priest, and in his turn he led the temple service in

Jerusalem. It came to pass as Zacharias stood before the Lord and burned the

incense in the Holy Place, that Gabriel came and stood before his face. And

Zacharias was afraid; he thought that some great evil was about to come upon the

Jews.

 

But Gabriel said, O man of God, fear not; I bring to you, and all the world, a

message of good will, and peace on Earth. Behold the Prince of Peace, the king

you seek, will quickly come. Your wife will bear to you a son, a holy son, of

whom the prophet wrote, Behold, I send Elijah unto you again before the coming

of the Lord; and he will level down the hills and fill the valleys up and pave

the way for him who shall redeem. From the beginning of the Age your son has

borne the name of John… the mercy of the Lord; his name is John. He will be

honoured in the sight of God, and he will drink no wine, and from his birth he

will be filled with Holy Breath.

 

And Gabriel stood before Elizabeth as she was in the silence of her home, and

told her all the words that he had said to Zachariah in Jerusalem. When he had

done the service of his course, the priest went home, and with Elizabeth

rejoiced.

 

Five months passed by and Gabriel came to Mary in her home in Nazareth and said,

Hail Mary, hail! Once blessed in the name of God; twice blessed in the name of

Holy Breath; thrice blessed in the name of Christ; for you are worthy, and will

bear a son who shall be called Immanuel.

 

His name is Jesus, for he saves his people from their sins.

 

When Joseph's daily task was done he came, and Mary told him all the words that

Gabriel spoke to her, and they rejoiced; for they believed that he, the man of

God, had spoken words of truth. And Mary went with haste to tell Elizabeth about

the promises of Gabriel; together they rejoiced. And in the home of Zacharias

and Elizabeth did Mary tarry ninety days; then she returned to Nazareth.

 

To Zacharias and Elizabeth a son was born, and Zacharias said: Most blessed be

the name of God, for he has opened up the fount of blessings for his people,

Israel.

 

His promises are verified; for he has brought to pass the words which holy

prophets spoke in olden times. And Zacharias looked upon the infant John, and

said: You will be called the prophet of the Holy One; and you will go before his

face, and will prepare his way. And you will give a knowledge of salvation unto

Israel; and you will preach the gospel of repentance and the blotting out of

sins.

 

Behold for soon the Day Star from on high will visit us, to light the way for

those who sit within the darkness of the shadow-land, and guide our feet unto

the ways of peace.

It focuses on what " Man " really is. Many people think man is his

body, however, man is much more than that. Even the Hebrew Psalmist,

David asked the question: " What is man that thou art mindful of him,

or the son of man that thou visiteth him? " Well... in these beautiful

words below... the answer is truly given, and this is that we are

" the Spirit " !

> " What is man that thou art mindful of him, or the son of man that

thou visiteth him? " This was the earnest question of David, the

Hebrew Psalmist, and the 8th Psalm is given wholly to the

contemplation of man – the crowning work of manifest creation. Among

the many great lessons, that Levi has been permitted to gather from

the Akashic Records, or the Universal Mind, we find one on Man in

which his descent into physical matter and his final ascent into an

eternal oneness with God is so graphically described that it

certainly merits a place in this Introduction, and we give it in full:
