The Teaching of the Ages

The teaching of the ages will transform the individual. Great religions will fall, and of course many will see this fall as the end of the world, and from the outside looking in, it will seem so. All great transformation, whether on a personal scale, or global, causes upheaval.

The individual will see (all this is very gradual, though it may not feel gradual) at first a connectedness to and with all things. There will grow a great awareness of mind; science will at last have to accept that mind forms what we call matter.

The individual will go beyond the idea of "oneness" as it is presently taught; oneness will be understood as not simply everyone being connected yet separate, but as one whole Self. The first thought that comes is: "We will lose ourselves! Our individuality. I don't want to be absorbed into some impersonal mass of one mind..." Consider that nothing is lost. It is not necessary to understand everything. How does the eternally found become lost?

As the individual changes, there will be a deeper sense of love for the other. Not the old warm and fuzzy demonstrative love, in which we tended to hide ourselves, but love as love is. I believe it will begin (or has begun) in concert with a "new" awareness that we are non-physical beings, and that we invented the physical, we made it up, as a child makes up an imaginary world. Our clinging to physicality while we profess our deep spirituality...this will fade away as we come to recognize that there are no opposites...no divisions to Self.

We made up the physical world to hide in. We became afraid for an instant, and these images came into our perfect Mind. They lasted but an instant and were gone. What we now think we experience is but the memory, or more clearly, our repeating, replaying, of that memory. The world was over long ago, in our terms of linear time. We remain as created.

Now we are talking about changing, transforming, but we are not really transforming at all. It is but our perception. We already are everything. All that is "changing" is our awareness, and our choice. There are two choices, yet in truth, there is only one choice, as the other is false, born of fear, a tiny crazy instant wherein we thought we lost our Creator, angered our Creator. But our Creator is perfect Love. Thus, we are perfect Love.

Old long-entrenched ways of being and doing the world's business, are dying out. The old ways no longer work, if they ever really did. There will be violent opposition, as there always has been when great transformation occurs. For those that cling to the old ways will surely see that their world is coming to an end.

It will be proven by science that we have not only a physical body, but an ethereal body, or astral body. This idea will no longer be seen as esoteric, but as scientific fact. When the world begins to see what freedom it has, the individual witnessing and practicing the power of this freedom, there will be no more nations, nothing to kill for. Nothing to die for (death will be seen as false, too).

We will see that the old idea of "we cannot know 'good' without knowing 'bad'", is also false. But the false will drop away on its own. We need not do anything to it. When I choose to see clearly, the scales drop off. When I choose to stop seeing clearly, the scales come back. But the scales remain illusion. My (our) sight however, is very real, and eternal.

There is one teaching, and all teachings teach it.
