His Legacy

“Jesus is not a redeemer. He is pointing to the redemption, to the power of the Holy Spirit, which is not a Spirit that visits people periodically. It is the power and presence that lives within everyone at this moment, waiting to be discovered.

This was his greatest contribution to humanity—this and the emphasis on God’s Love for Creation—to repair and to replace the Old Testaments that spoke of an angry, vengeful God, who rewarded those who believed and punished those who did not.”

A Relationship, Not An Individual

Relationships of Higher Purpose Book

"When you think of Jesus, think of an individual married to his Spiritual Family. Christ is relationship; Christ is not an individual. People make the Christ an individual because they can identify with an individual more easily than they can with a greater relationship. They relate to separation more than to union. It would be accurate to say that Christ does not mean the anointed one. It means the united relationship."

"When Jesus found he had disciples, he needed only to call them and they joined him. This represented relationships of the great nature that we are speaking of. They did not join him because he was magnificent or because he had unusual abilities or because he was beautiful or sweet. Indeed, he was going to take them all into dangerous situations and challenge them continuously. So what enabled them to drop what they were doing and to leave their lives and follow him? It was Knowledge."

In Harmony With The New Message

"You can be assured that Jesus, Buddha and Muhammad and all the great Spiritual Emissaries, both known and unknown, are in complete harmony with what is being presented here. They too had to face dissension and conflict, rejection and ridicule. They understand, for this is the nature of delivering A New Message from God, into this world or into any other world in the physical universe."

His Life On Earth

"When Jesus was taught of his ministry, he had to be informed of what would happen to him personally. That is the price of complete exposure. That is why true teachers must give up all personal ambition, for that is counter-productive to their true mission and well-being."

"Do not think that Jesus Christ was not marveling at his own work!"

"Christmas represents the emergence of Knowledge in the individual. This is exemplified in the life of Jesus, who beyond his own understanding even, a Greater Power emerged within him and overtook his life uniting him with the Unseen Ones, who guided him and led to the expression of his great and significant ministry."

The Second Coming

"If Jesus returned to the world, people would fight over whether they believed in him or not. He would bring war and destruction to the world, and that is not what God wills."

"God works behind the scenes, uniting people at the level of Knowledge, fostering greater cooperation, greater selflessness and greater service to others. If the real Jesus returned, he would be destroyed by those who do not believe in him, and he would set in train great conflict between the believers and the non-believers. He would not bring peace, and he knows this. If the Maitreya Buddha returns, the Christian world would oppose him. If the 12th Imam returns, the vast majority of the world would oppose him. Would this bring peace? Would this bring equanimity? Would this bring justice? Or would only one group, one nation, one small part of the human family, be fulfilled in their expectations?"

"The Intervention can create wonderful spiritual scenarios to activate those individuals who are most prone to be their messengers. It is not difficult for the Intervention to do. They simply stage a drama and put someone in the middle of it, and this person cannot tell the difference. People do not know what a Greater Community presence is. To them, it is all coming from somewhere else, not at their level, but from a higher place. So, in one scenario, an image of Jesus is projected to a zealous person, and the zealous person says, “Jesus has come to me." And the Jesus says, "You must gather my true followers and you must denounce all others!" And the zealous follower says, "Yes, Master, yes, Master!""
