New Thought Teachings Won’t Lead People to God

 

In this mediated message, Jesus shows how the New Thought teachings, while true in part, will not lead people to finding God. The understanding of the New Birth through the Divine Love transforming the soul is needed.

 

 

Jesus Adds to Luke’s Comments on New Thought, and Stresses the Importance of Mankind Knowing the Truth of the New Birth

 

I AM HERE. Jesus.

Let me write just a line, for I desire to tell you that I was with you tonight at the convention of the New Thought people, and saw the impression made upon you by the discourses; and I am pleased that what they said only confirmed your faith in our teachings. They are sincere in their efforts to obtain a knowledge of the Truth, but the difficulty is that, while they are free from many of the orthodox teachings of the church, yet, they have only the natural love and perceptions of the intellect, and, to some extent, of the awakened soul in its natural condition.

They know nothing of the Divine Love or the Way to the Kingdom, and are depending entirely upon the spiritual feelings that come to them with the consciousness of an awakened soul in its conflict with the things that prevent its purification and development into the perfect man.

These people are to be encouraged in their efforts and teachings, so far as they disclose the true, natural condition of man and the possibility of their becoming in harmony with the Will of the Father in their natural love. To that extent, they are progressing beyond the old orthodox ideas of what the real man is, and what is incumbent upon him in order to get into the condition of happiness that comes with a purification of his love, and a longing in harmony with the Laws of God governing that purification.

It is to be wished that these men will proceed in their teachings and thus give a knowledge to mankind of what man really is, and the possibilities that lie before him when he exercises the inherent powers that exist within. FOR, CONCERNING SIN AND INHARMONY, UNTIL THE GREAT TRUTHS OF THE NEW BIRTH AND THE TRANSFORMATION OF THE SOUL AND THE WONDERFUL KINGDOM OF THE CELESTIAL SPHERES ARE MADE KNOWN TO MEN THROUGH OUR TEACHINGS OF THESE THINGS, THESE GREATER TRUTHS WHICH LIE BEYOND THE KNOWLEDGE OF MEN AT THIS TIME WILL NOT BE THEIRS.

In their search for God, they are on the wrong track. They will never find Him if they pursue the search in the way indicated by their discourses. God is not within men, nor do they live and move and have their being in Him; nor is He everywhere, waiting to be developed by men as they grow better and purer. No, they are mistaken in their thought as to God and His Habitation. When they come into a knowledge of the Truth, they will learn God is not in man or in everything that surrounds him, but is separate from him and from the environments in which he lives and moves, and that He has His Locality in the Highest Heavens where He works out His Purposes, and makes Himself and the evidence of His Existence known to men by the Energies that control the universe in which men exist. He can only be “seen” by the soul perceptions of a soul that has been transformed into the divine angel. To men in every other particular, He is unseen and unknown, except as His Laws, and the effect of their operations, discloses His Being.

Well, I merely wanted to write this short message, and I am glad that you can receive it. Good night.

Your brother and friend, JESUS.
