    • This is not meant to be a conclusive, in depth analysis of this spiritual movement, it is only to act as an awareness paper.

    • “We need to understand here that heaven is not a location but refers to the inner realm of consciousness.” (Rev. 4:1)

From "A New Earth"

  1. "If you believe only your religion is the Truth, you are using it in the service of the ego. Used in such a way, religion becomes ideology and creates an illusory sense of superiority as well as division and conflict between people.” (Proverbs 14:12)
  2. “Once you realize and accept that all structures (forms) are unstable, even the seemingly solid material ones, peace arises within you. This is because the recognition of the impermanence of all forms awakens you to the dimension of the formless within yourself, that which is beyond death. Jesus called it ‘eternal life’.” (John 17:2-3)
  3. “Don’t seek happiness. If you seek it, you won’t find it, because seeking is the antithesis of happiness. Happiness is ever elusive, but freedom from unhappiness is attainable now, by facing what is rather than making up stories about it. Unhappiness covers up your natural state of well-being and inner peace, the source of true happiness.” (Romans 3:23)
  4. “The fact that you temporarily know more or that you are bigger does not mean the child is not your equal.” (Eph. 6:4, Prov. 13:24)
  5. “The man on the cross is an archetypal image. He is every man and every Woman.” (John 1:1)
  6. “Does this mean that people are not responsible for what they do when possessed by the pain-body? My answer is How can they be? How can you be responsible when you are unconscious, when you don’t know what you are doing?” (Romans 6:1-2)
  7. “Bad turns into good through the power of nonresistance.” (Romans 6:23)
  8. If you find this book incomprehensible or meaningless, it has not yet happened to you. If something within you responds to it, however, if you somehow recognize the truth in it, it means the process of wakening has begun. Once it has done so, it cannot be reversed, although it can be delayed by the ego.”
  9. “It is the Source, the unmanifested one Life. It is the timeless intelligence that manifests as a universe unfolding in time.”
