| 110.) LMW: After the mighty coronavirus pandemic forced many money-making: churches, monasteries and temples to restrict attendance and even shut down—hopefully, some of their devout and well-meaning members will make the most of the next few years to: seek the ""real inner living: Lord, church or temple"" in their hearts! ●●● “For behold, the kingdom of God is within you!” (Luke 17:21) 111.) The pandemic crisis is also showing us that buildings and structures rarely have the power to protect people—after many reports of closely packed worship gatherings turning into coronavirus super spreader events! a.) Because: (i) the True Living: Lord and God is not really there! (ii) Most of these gathering places are just for exploiting and deceiving people—by misusing religion and the name of God to: ▪ get more donations, ▪ sell more books and items (or idols), ▪ build more grandiose structures for attracting more followers and members, ▪ network for business connections! |
| d.) Indeed, The New Wine (New Higher Consciousness) Deserves New Bottles (New Higher: Forms, Methods And Systems); Therefore the old bottles‡ have to be broken! (Mark 2:22 / Message No. 82 *) ( ‡ : Like the bogus, distorted and outworn practice of following and worshipping so-called religious: (i) structures like churches and temples, (ii) statues, (iii) salaried heads and figures on the payroll of wealthy and powerful establishments. ) 112.) Lord does not want us to worship Him either… a.) From Revelation 22:8-9: “And I John saw these things, and heard them. And when I had heard and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the Angel which showed me these things. Then He said to me: see that you not do that, for I am your fellow servant, and of your brethren the prophets …” b.) As Master DK explained: “… One thing which should be grasped anent all these great Lives is that what is commonly called "worship" is abhorred by Them. Worship, the power to adore and the sense of awe (which is one of the highest aspects of fear) are not desired by Them. Such attitudes are emotional in origin and based upon the sense of duality, and therefore upon feeling. “These Lives are embodiments of service and can be reached by true servers with the appeal of service. Bear this in mind. As man progresses upon the Path he forgets worship; he loses all sense of fear, and adoration fails to engross his attention. …” ** |

| b.) From Helena Roerich: “It is quite certain that the Christianity of today and the original Teaching of Christ Himself are two entirely different things. Even as the lamaism of the present time and the original Teaching of Gotama Buddha are complete opposites. One is of the spirit, the other is a creation of human ignorance and greed. “All this I am writing to you, but it is not for the narrow- minded dogmatists, with whom it is useless to argue. Many souls need little fences to protect them, just as timid horses need blinkers. “There is a proverb in the East which says, "It is good to be born in a temple, but very bad to die there." There are as many gradations of consciousness as there are degrees in Infinity; therefore, there are as many laws and aspects of truth as degrees of consciousness.” (LoHR I) |
