Christians need to know that he who came to give an example was not of a different nature to them, and so they too can reach the same level of development as he did.

Part 4 of 7 – The man Jesus and the Cosmic Principle of the Christ

By his words and example, Jesus came to help humans become conscious of their divine filiation. But how does the Church expect them to draw inspiration from this example, when it has created an immeasurable distance between them and him, by teaching that he is God? Its task was to clarify Jesus’ teaching, by showing that human beings exist only because they are inhabited by the divine and that their vocation is to draw ever closer to the divinity within. But by fabricating all sorts of fantastic stories about Jesus himself, not only has it failed to clarify the teaching, it has made it increasingly difficult to understand.

Instead of going to so much trouble to prove and endlessly repeat how Jesus was nothing other than the Christ, it would have been more useful if it had explained to humans what they themselves were. Yes, the key to religion is for man to learn, first and foremost, who he himself is. Only then can he undertake any work in depth. Until then, he can only plaster all sorts of theories and beliefs onto something of which he knows nothing: his own self. This erroneous claim concerning Jesus’ divinity has given rise to deplorable consequences, the most serious of which is the unbridgeable distance created between humans and Jesus.

In order to be saved, they (Christians) need to know that he who came to give an example was not of a different nature to them, and so they too can reach the same level of development as he did. The belief that God wished to manifest his love for humans two thousand years ago by sending His only son to earth has perhaps, for a certain time, helped some of them to evolve, but now we must abandon such an enormous error, for it is a misrepresentation of the love of God, which is immense, inexhaustible and infinite. God has had many sons… and daughters. He has many already and there will be still many more. For millions of years He has been sending exceptional beings to earth to enlighten their brothers and sisters, and He will continue to send even more.
