ESTABLISHING THE PATH

             Many years ago I had a Realization in Christ
which made no sense to me.
      I knew it was the ultimate Realization, the one
we search for all over the earth. Whether we have
the realization in terms of Buddha or Christ, in Hindu
terms or in terms of Islam, the characteristics and content
of the Realization remain the same.
        The Realization is what takes the timeless out of time,
and in that place of timelessness, which also can be
called the eternal present, or the dream time.
It is in this eternal present, when grounded in it, that our minds can travel to that secret place within us, which is
a shrine. This place is where completion exists. And in completion, we can overcome the problems of desire, desire which has been called the enemy of the soul.

        Two thousand years after the death of Christ, these new
gospels are found, gospels which rip away the veil
of secrecy and deceit.
         2,000 years after the death of our Master,
Christ Consciousness arises again with the discovery
of the most ancient of gospels at Nag Hammadi, Egypt,
in 1945.
         I see no coincidence in this. This is what was
meant to be, as was promised us. Two thousand years
after His death, the Mind of Christ arises again
in the ultimate truth which is clearly expressed in
the Gospel of Thomas.

         When I had that Realization in Christ, I had no
idea what it meant. We are just not prepared
for ultimate Realization in the Americas, because we 
don't know it exists.
          As a result we don't search this experience
of the Grail, because we don't know it exists.
In our religious history, there is no preparation for the
discovery of such an experience, except in the most
oblique sense.
          The path to ultimate Realization has been
obscured, hence we don't seek for it.
We don't know such an experience of the True One of
the universe exists. 
           So when someone makes the discovery, he
does not rejoice as he ought to - rather he is confused.
           This situation of obscurity we must change:
so that a young  person who is on the path does not feel
he is going through a nervous breakdown when he makes
the ultimate discovery and has the experience
which will change everything in his life,
including his identity.
           It's our job to put signposts along the way, the way
which we did not know existed until the Second Coming
which began in 1945, when the early gospels
were found in Egypt.
           Our work is just beginning now, for now is the
time of the new heaven and earth which has been
promised us.
                          I had to go to a Buddhist temple in order to
understand what had happened to me in Christ. Do we
want our young people to have to go through
such an indirect journey? I think not.
