John 12:34 Christ abideth for ever

³⁴ The people answered him, We have heard out of the law that Christ abideth for ever... -John 12:34 Bible, King James Version

The Christ or our Higher Self is Eternal. By becoming one with our Higher Self we become Eternal.

John 12:32 Jesus will draw all men unto Him

                                                 Jesus' Ascension

³² And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me. -John 12:32 Bible, King James Version

Jesus teaches us what He meant by these words: When I said: "If I be lifted up, I will draw all men unto Me," I meant, if that which were Greater than Myself, would reach Its Flame down and connect with My Life Flame, and raise My Life to Its Higher Power, I too would reach down to the rest of mankind; and draw the energy of their Life up into My Perfection; and I have been doing just That thru the centuries! (The Voice of the I AM, 1948 March p8) The Essence of God and Heaven is Divine Love which is represented by Fire or Flame.

                                               

John 10:32-36 Ye are gods

                                   Ye Are gods! « Walking in the Shadows

 

³² Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shewed you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me? ³³ The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God. ³⁴ Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods? ³⁵ If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken; ³⁶ Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God? -John 10:32-36 Bible, King James Version

 

Jesus claimed to be a Son of God which the Jews knew meant He was claiming to be a god. They objected to such a claim so Jesus pointed out that their own scriptures teach we are all gods. The Christ or Higher Selves of all mankind are gods.  

John 10:30 I and my Father are one

                                           Higher Self

³⁰ I and my Father are one. -John 10:30 Bible, King James Version

When Jesus referred to His Father in Heaven He was referring to His Higher Self. By becoming one with His Higher Self on the inner He became Christ Conscious which is a higher state of consciousness than what mankind normally enjoys. While Mary, the mother of Jesus, and Elizabeth are in Zoan, Egypt with their young boys the Master Elihu teaches them about the two selves:

The Aquarian Gospel of Jesus the Christ
by Levi H. Dowling

(Transcribed From the Book of God’s Remembrances, Known as the Akashic Records)

CHAPTER 8.

⁵There are two selfs; the higher and the lower self.

⁶The higher self is human spirit clothed with soul, made in the form of God.

⁷The lower self, the carnal self, the body of desires, is a reflexion of the higher self, distorted by the murky ethers of the flesh.

⁸The lower self is an illusion, and will pass away; the higher self is God in man, and will not pass away...

¹⁴If you would ask me what to study I would say, yourselfs; and when you well had studied them, and then would ask me what to study next, I would reply, your­selfs.

¹⁵He who knows well his lower self, knows the illusions of the world, knows of the things that pass away; and he who knows his higher self, knows God; knows well the things that cannot pass away...

²¹The only devil from which men must be redeemed is self, the lower self. If man would find his devil he must look within; his name is self.

²²If man would find his savior he must look within; and when the demon self has been dethroned the savior, Love, will be exalted to the throne of power.

                                                                             

John 10:20 Many thought Jesus was mad

²⁰ And many of them said, He hath a devil, and is mad; why hear ye him? -John 10:20 Bible, King James Version

Just as many of the Jews thought Jesus was mad because of His teachings in that day and age so too will many today in this day and age think the Ascended Masters including Jesus are mad because Their Teachings contradict what they believe or have been taught by their priests.

John 10:16 Jesus visited other countries

¹⁶ And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd. -John 10:16 Bible, King James Version

The Bible gives us an historical account of Jesus’ life and teachings in Jerusalem during his three year mission from about the age of thirty to thirty-three. It also includes a few brief references indicating that Jesus spent part of His early life in Egypt and that He was teaching in the Temple of Jerusalem at age twelve. (Luke 2:42 & Matthew 2:13-15) Apart from this there is no account of Jesus’ life and teachings between the ages of twelve and thirty. There is only a veiled reference to his disciples in other lands when He teaches the Jews: Other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: [in Jerusalem] them also I must bring, and they shall here my voice. (John 10:16)  To find out about this period in Jesus’ life we must look beyond the Bible.

                                             NICOLAS NOTOVITCH

Frank J. Muccie, Jr. points out that; Jesus’ visits and stays in foreign lands is an absolute certainty, as many ancient Essene. documents verify this. One account was discovered in Tibet by Nicolas Notovitch. He had two manuscripts read to him by the lama of the Hemis Convent which were translated from scrolls belonging to the Lhasa Library. The Hemis monastery is a Tibetan Buddhist monastery located in Hemis, Ladakh within the Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir. These were placed in a Convent standing on Mount Marbour, near Lhasa. This version of Jesus’ life and teachings was originally recorded within three or four years after the death of Jesus Who it refers to as Issa. Isa means Lord over everything. Jesus is also referred to as Isa in the Qur’an, or Koran, the Muslim’s Holy Book. From this account we learn that when Issa had attained the age of thirteen, when an Israelite should take a wife, it was then that Issa secretly left his father’s house, went out of Jerusalem, and in the company of some merchants, travelled toward Sindh. Sindhi is one of the provinces of Pakistan. In the course of His fourteenth year, young Issa visited Juggernaut where He received a joyous welcome from the white priests of Brahma. He spent six years in Juggernaut, [which is in the Puri town, Orissa state, India. The life of the town centers around the cult of Juggernaut, a form of the Krishna incarnation of Vishnu.]  Rajagriha, [Rajgar, ancient Rajagriha, is a city in Nalanda district in the Indian state of Bihar] Benares, [in India] and other holy cities. The white priests and the warriors becoming aware of the discourse addressed by Issa to the Soudras, the lowest division in the Hindu caste system, resolved upon His death and sent their servants for this purpose. But Issa, warned of this danger by the Soudras, fled in the night from Juggernaut, gained the mountains, and took refuge in the Gothamide Country. The Gothamide Country is apparently the birthplace of the Great Buddha Cakya-Mouni which is the Tibetan name for Siddharta Buddha the founder of Buddhism who was born in Lumbini which was originally in Northern India but is now in Nepal. Six years later Issa left Nepal and the Himalaya Mountains and went westward. The Divine Issa taught the people. When He reached Persia the priests were terrified and forbade the inhabitants to listen to him. Issa was twenty-nine years of age when He arrived in the land of Israel. (See The Unknown Life of Jesus Christ by Nicolas Notovitch.

There have been others who have visited the Hemis monastery confirming the existence of the Issa manuscript. In his book Journey into Kashmir and Tibet, Swami Abhedananda of the Ramakrishna Society travelled to Hemis after he had read Nicolas Notovitch’s book to see the manuscript for himself. He was shown a manuscript which was a translation into Tibetan of the original manuscript which was in a monastery at Marbour near Lhasa. He made a translation himself which apparently closely matched that of Nicolas Notovitch’s version.

                                                   Hemis Festival - Hemis Monastery

Nicholas Roerich also visited the Hemis monastery in 1925. He published an account of this in his books Altai-Himalaya-A Travel Diary and Heart of Asia-Memoirs from the Himalayas. This is also supported by Murdo MacDonald Bayne’s book Beyond the Himalayas in which Geshi Tung La points out: The Master Jesus.  We have records of him here. [in Tibet] According to C. W. Leadbeater, in his book The Masters and the Path  we read: In Tibet… a narrow door… leads to a system of vast subterranean halls containing an occult [or secret] museum of which the Master Kuthumi is the Guardian on behalf of the Great White Brotherhood. …Original manuscripts of incredible antiquity… are here to be seen- a manuscript for example… written by the Lord Christ during his birth in Palestine.

              Levi H. Dowling

Another account of Jesus’ life and teachings in Egypt, India, Persia, Greece, Tibet and Jerusalem is recorded in a book entitled The Aquarian Gospel of Jesus the Christ by Levi H. Dowling. Early in life Levi had a vision in which he was told that he was to; build a white city. This vision was repeated three times with years intervening. The building of the white city was The Aquarian Gospel of Jesus the Christ. The contents of his book were transcribed from the Akashic Records. These are records in the atmosphere or on a higher Plane in the Spirit World. In this account while Mary, Joseph and Elizabeth with their sons Jesus and John were in Zoan Egypt they were taught for three years by the Masters Elihu and Salome before they returned back home. Jesus spends a year living in the Jerusalem Temple. Some time after the age of twelve He travels with Ravanna, a royal prince of Orissa in India, where He becomes a pupil in the temple Jagannath and here He learned the Vedas. Jesus with his friend Lamaas went through all the regions of Orissa and the valley of the Ganges. In Benares of the Ganges Jesus learnt the Hindu art of healing. For four years Jesus abode in the temple Jagannath. In the cities of Orissa Jesus taught. At Katak, by the river side, He taught and thousands of the people followed him. At Behar, on the sacred river of the Brahms, He taught for many days. The Brahmic priests are enraged because of Jesus’ teachings and so they resolve to drive Him from India. They find a murderer by trade and sent him out by night to slay Jesus so he left Benares and journeyed to the city of Kapivastu in the Himalayas. Jesus spends time in Lhasa, Tibet, then He travels to Lahore with a caravan of merchantmen who were journeying through the Kashmir vale as Jesus passed that way. They had seen His mighty works in Leh. Leh was the capital of the Himalayan Kingdom of Ladakh in the state of Jammu and Kashmir, India. He was twenty-four years of age when He entered Persia. The priests forbade Him from teaching or healing the sick but He regarded not their angry threats. In time He reached Persepolis, the city of the learned Magi, Hor, Lun and Mer, the three wise men. When Jesus’ work in Persia was done He resumed His journey to Chaldea. In Ur He tarried for a time before travelling home to Nazareth. Jesus longed to study with the Masters in the schools of Greece so He left Nazareth, crossed the Carmel hills, and took a ship to the Grecian capital where He teaches the Greek Masters. Next He sails to Egypt and travels to Zoan where His mother was taught twenty-five years before. At age thirty Jesus begins His Mission in Jerusalem. Following His Resurrection Jesus appears in Jerusalem, India, Persia, Greece, near Rome, Egypt and finally He Ascends to Heaven on the Mount of Olives. According to the Mormon Church’s Book of Mormon Jesus also visited the people in ancient America after His resurrection.

                  His Holiness Sri Shankaracharya Bharati Krishna Tirthaji Maharaj

We read in Levi Dowling’s account that Jesus was accepted as a pupil in the temple Jagannath. (See p40 The Aquarian Gospel Jesus the Christ.) In 1959 the Shankaracharya of Puri, India, His Holiness Sri Bharati Krishna Titha was interviewed by Sri Daya Mata who was the President of the Self-Realization Fellowship. She commented that she had been told that Jesus spent some of his life in India in association with her illumined sages. His Holiness replied; That is true. I have studied ancient records in the Puri Jagannath Temple archives confirming those facts. He was known as Isha and during part of his time in India he stayed in the Jagannath Temple. When he returned to his part of the world he expounded the teachings known today as Christianity.

Jagannatha Temple, Puri, Orissa

Godfre and Lotus Ray King from the Saint Germain Foundation in 1940 claimed that Jesus the Christ stood in their home many times in His Visible Tangible Ascended Master Body, held them in His Arms and they kissed His Hands. (See The Voice of the I AM 1940 p39) In 1941 Jesus revealed to them that He visited some places in India before his Ministry in Judea began. With regards to the limited amount of information concerning the life and teachings of Jesus as recorded in the Bible Saint John admits; there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen. (John 21:25)

John 9:1-3 The past life sins of the blind man

 Reincarnation

¹And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man which was blind from his birth. ²And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind. ³Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him. -John 9:1-3 Bible, King James Version

                                                   

 

 Here Jesus' disciples appear to be asking Him whether or not the blind man's past life sins had led to his being born blind in this life. Jesus indicates to them that it was not his past life sins which in this case had led to his blindness. The Aquarian Gospel of Jesus the Christ gives a different version of Jesus' response to this question about the past life sins of the blind man:

The Aquarian Gospel of Jesus the Christ

by Levi H. Dowling (1844-1911)

(Transcribed from the Akashic Records)

CHAPTER 138.

¹The Lord with Peter, James and John were in Jerusalem; it was the Sabbath day.

²And as they walked along the way they saw a man who could not see; he had been blind from birth.

³And Peter said, Lord, if dis­ease and imperfections all are caused by sin, who was the sinner in this case? the parents or the man him­self?

⁴And Jesus said, Afflictions all are partial payments on a debt, or debts, that have been made.

⁵There is a law of recompense that never fails, and it is summar­ized in that true rule of life:

⁶Whatsoever man shall do to any other man some other man will do to him.

⁷In this we find the meaning of the Jewish law, expressed con­cisely in the words, Tooth for a tooth; life for a life.

⁸He who shall injure any one in thought, or word, or deed, is judged a debtor to the law, and some one else shall, likewise, injure him in thought, or word or deed.

⁹And he who sheds the blood of any man will come upon the time when his blood shall be shed by man.

¹⁰Affliction is a prison cell in which a man must stay until he pays his debts unless a master sets him free that he may have a better chance to pay his debts.

¹¹Affliction is a certain sign that one has debts to pay.

¹²Behold this man! Once in another life he was a cruel man, and in a cruel way destroyed the eyes of one, a fellow man.

¹³The parents of this man once turned their faces on a blind and helpless man, and drove him from their door.
