Are We a New Age Religion?
By Reva Christ
Wikipedia says that New Age religions and spiritual movements are based on five beliefs: God is in everything, all is one, man is god, mind creates reality and one’s own experience validates the truth.
Here are the 5 beliefs again with our response.
1. God is in everything.
That depends on what you mean by everything. I see everything broadly, not narrowly. And when I consider a statement or a question, I consider it with deep contemplation; I pick at it.
Is God in the things we genetically engineer? The things we genetically engineer are a part of everything.
The Holy Spirit tells me these things are artificially engineered by man. They are corruptions of God’s materials.
God is also not in man-made pollution, man’s industries, man’s wars or his holocaust of the animal kingdom, God is not in rape, murder, theft, adultery, prostitution, pornography, war or anything else that is defaming to the holiness of the spirit.
So God is not in everything.
2. All is One .
What do you mean by all and what do you mean by one?
If God is ONE and if genetic engineering, man-made pollution, man’s industries, man’s wars or his holocaust of the animal kingdom, rape, murder, theft, adultery, prostitution, pornography, or anything else that is defaming to the holiness of the spirit is a part of ALL then All is NOT one.
If All natural life comes from God then all Natural life is also one with God, because All of life was made with pieces of God.
I have combined God is in everything and All is one, under one topic: God created the universe.
Where did creation start? With God’s thoughts and God’s energy. Where did every natural thing come from? God’s thoughts and God’s energy. So is God in everything? God is in every natural creation. The earth, the universe, her environment and ecosystems, her animal, bird, reptile, insect, plant and vegetation kingdoms. Every natural thing that is created by God is also made of God so every natural thing is ONE with God.
What is being ONE with God?
I say being ONE with God is being united in God. No natural creation, made by God, made of God works in opposition to God…Except man.
Man separates himself from God because he gives himself an identity. Man has a self.
No other creation of God has a self. No other creation of God thinks like man does. All other creations act in accordance with their intended purpose. All support the natural web of existence.
Man creates an identity for himself and he also creates a purpose for himself and both his identity and his purpose are at odds with natural law.
Through man’s ideas of self, he separates himself from God so he is not ONE with God, but his body was still created by God.
The third belief in a new age religion is Man is God.
Again, Man is created from God particles, but Man is not God. Man is a creation of flesh and blood and his flesh and blood were created by God. But man gives himself an identity and a purpose which makes him separate from God.
IMPORTANT! (Man alters and corrupts his biochemistry by polluting his body with synthetic and artificial foods and substances that he invents as food, cigarettes, vapes, synthetic drugs, alcohol and multiple poisons that are released into the air, soil and water.)
Man may believe man is God, but the Age of Light ministry does not believe man is God and the Age of Light Ministry does not accept or acknowledge man as God nor is man accepted as God under Edenic Law or Edenic Philosophy.
If I bought a can of play dough and made a man out of it, that man wouldn’t be Reva Christ, it would be a play dough man.
Unlike play dough, however, God material has the potential, note the potential, to reach divinity. Especially in man because of his mind, but it would take many evolutions, as he would have to evolve out of his human mind set. He would have to give up and surrender all thoughts of self and all thoughts of personal purpose.
God is the intelligence of the universe. God does not have an identity, God does not have a “self” and God does not possess human mental proclivities for self-justification, self-interest, or personal survival or personal purpose. God is not a person so He is not personal and in order to reach divination and become a God, man would have to lose these inclinations as well as all human attributes. Because God has no human attributes.
This can be confusing for those who believe that God made man in His image. But man was not made in the image of God, man was made in the image of the vessel that God deemed best suited to house his human family so they could live upon the earth and care for the kingdom he created.
4. Mind creates reality
Number 4 and number 5, Ones own experience validates the truth, actually work together.
Your reality is created based on your beliefs. Your beliefs are formed through your judgments and opinions which come from your perception, experiences and perspective. All these things are in your mind. If your mind believes what I’m saying, then your reality is that what I’m saying is true. If your mind doesn’t believe what I’m saying, then your reality is that what I’m saying is not true.
This is how mind creates reality. It’s not really mind that creates your reality, it’s your opinions, perceptions, perspectives and judgments that creates your ideas of reality and in turn, it is your belief in your own ideas that makes you believe your ideas of reality are true.
You don’t have to take my word for this you can check this out for yourself, put your hand over an open flame, does it hurt?
Okay, the fact that the flame hurt you validates your reality that you shouldn’t put your hand over an open flame.
The other side of mind creating reality is that everything we think is real. If we imagine we are eating ice cream, ice cream will appear. And this is not possible and not true.
If we could create reality merely by thinking of what we want, we would all be immediate lottery winners but even lottery winners will tell you they did not win immediately.
The fifth point, One’s own experience validates the truth is much like mind creates reality. If you experience that lemons are sour and you don’t like lemons, then your experience tasting a lemon will validate that you don’t like sour foods.
Why don’t you like sour foods?
Oh I had a lemon once and it was sour.
Your bad experience eating a lemon validates your reason for not liking sour foods.
So at our current, limited level of evolution, the opinions and judgments we hold in our mind creates our perception of reality and our belief in our perceptions validates what we think is true.
Do you experience the feelings of love when you look at your child? Then your experience validates the truth that you love your child. The only reason you KNOW you love your child is because of the feelings you experience with your child, watching him or her, caring for him or her and experiencing the feeling of love.
Now there are other experiences we have that are solely individual. There are some people who have had the experience of being abducted by aliens. Their experiences validate their belief that yes, aliens did abduct them. And they can recount these tales in vivid detail. Not everyone shares this experience. Do YOU believe they were abducted? Your answer will shape your reality.
I say I am receiving messages from the Holy Spirit. Does my experience validate that I am actually receiving messages from the Holy Spirit?
Sometimes I have to check things out. How do you know the Holy Spirit is talking to you? Well I had to read the bible and see if the tone or messages were in line with the New Testament and I believe they are. Every single message of love spoken by Christ fits the demeanor and the messages that I receive.
But I will also tell you that there is some of the Old Testament that also fits in with the messages I receive in the tone and the content.
I think the major difference between the new age movement of spirituality and the Age of Light Ministry is that God is actually removed from the new age theology. He’s mentioned sometimes, but he’s in a passive role and the emphasis is on making humans God’s. In fact I think some spiritual movements say that God encourages humans to be God.
But this isn’t what the Holy Spirit tells me.
The Holy Spirit tells me that man hasn’t even proved he can handle being human, never mind showing his potential for godhood.
The Age of Light ministry does not see man as God. The Age of Light Ministry sees man as the servant of God and he was created to serve God’s kingdom which includes the planet, the environment, the ecosystems that support life on the planet and all the life kingdoms of the planet.
As the intelligent creative force of the universe, God understood the principles of creation because he watched creation happen.
God is the intelligence of the universe, I repeat this because it’s important. God is the intelligent energy of the universe, this is also important. God’s intelligence and his energy is the highest in the universe. This is very important.
In order to create anything, God had to create from himself, or with waves and particles of His own energy.
In order to utilize His own energy to create, He had to change energy waves. He had to lower their vibration.
Mass has a heavier vibration then oxygen or water, or dirt. And when you think of these things, oxygen, water and dirt, you can pretty much rationalize yourself, that the energy wave is different in all three materials.
So now you can think of the grass, the plants, the trees, the birds, the reptiles the animals the fish and marine life and you can see the wave changes in each thing.
And now you see man.
Everything made of matter carries a lower vibration than anything without material form.
God has no material form. He is pure thought; pure intelligence.
Now the human body isn’t the only material thing that carries a lower vibration than God’s pure intelligence. The human mind also carries a lower vibration than God’s intelligence.
God’s intelligence is universal. It is not contained, where the mind of man is contained in a spiritual field that carries a lower vibration then God’s field.
So what does this tell us?
Man is made by God, but his composition is not operating at the level of God’s, so his composition is not that of a God but that of a creation of God’s. Just like the play dough man would not be superior to me, the play dough man would be below me on the evolutionary scale.
Free Will and the Edenic Laws.
The blessing of free will that men are born with, entitles men to think and act for themselves. This is necessary because to take free will away and make man mimics of God would not be of any benefit to the spirit. The spirit would not learn and therefore it would not grow. It is the spirit that God made the body of man for, He did not create the body of man for man, nor did he create the body of man for the identity that man gives himself. The body of man, which men falsely believes is the image of God, was not made for man’s benefit, but was made for the benefit of the spirit. The human body is the vessel that the spirit occupies so it can be in the physical world and interact with God’s creations and serve those creations.
The spirit is not human.
The only time you are spirit is in the womb and in infancy, then you are innocent and have no knowledge of your identity.
You have to learn a human identity from your human parents who give you a name and a doctrine to live by. As the human grows, it gives itself an identity and seeks to serve its human self, forsaking the spirit. But the human body was created for the spirit, NOT the human identity.
The spirit is passive.
Once the human identity overrides the spirit, the human body is under the control of the human identity which serves the made-up human self. The self is the creation of the human, not the spirit.
With the human in control and not the spirit, there is no God anymore. God has been forsaken.
This is why Jesus says, you must become like little children.
Matthew 18:3 and he said: "Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.” Jesus says this because only in infancy are we spirit because we have not yet been programmed with a human identity.
1 Corinthians 14:20 “Brothers and sisters, stop thinking like children. In regard to evil, be infants, but in your thinking be adults.”
Jesus is telling us that infants do not know of evil; but humans do, the human self makes judgments where the spirit does not. He is also telling us to be wise, because as the spirit matures, it gains wisdom. So in your thinking be wise adults so the spirit will learn wisdom.
Now I started speaking of New Age movements belief that men are God’s. So let’s go on this idea.
You have already heard me relay information from the Holy Spirit that God had to lower energy particles to create mass to produce the human body, and the human mind also was created with lower energy than God’s mind. So man by virtue of his energy reading alone, is not a God and his human identity further separates him from God.
But IF man could return to his spirit self, while in human form, COULD he POTENTIALLY become a god and operate as a God on earth, creating anything his mind thought of?
Well, he IS creating his own genetically engineered foods and he is genetically engineering animals already and he IS engineering the destruction of the eco-system, but he’s doing all these things mortally.
And these things aren’t the work of a God, they’re the antithesis of God. And that’s a big indicator right there that man is NOT a God, he is acting as God’s opposite.
The biggest problem man has with being God is the physical world operates by physical law, not spirit law. God, by virtue of not being physical, operates by spirit and mental law. God IS spirit and mind in its absolute purest sense.
Man isn’t anywhere near this.
There’s a big difference. But man has always wanted to BE a god. This is not something recent with the new age movement. All throughout man’s history he has dominated, enslaved and destroyed all for the sake of raising himself above all other life on earth.
Being a human conqueror is the closest man can come to God. He is utilizing everything at his disposal to live his dream as a God, every weapon, every technology, every industry and every resource the planet can provide and man's machinery can produce.
Everything that man does is done to benefit man’s great dream of showing his supreme authority over God.
He destroys all that God creates, and this is his way of showing God that he doesn't need him; he can make it on his own.
Why is it so important for man to be God?
I personally think it’s a desire of his ego. But I also think it stems from pain.
Life is very hard when you can’t control it. It doesn’t obey your whims, it doesn’t answer your calls. It doesn’t turn in your favor and to get anything done at all, you have to work SO HARD for it. Unless it’s handed to you, your born wealthy or your born lucky.
Life is frustrating. It’s also painful and dismally disappointing. Being a God at least boosts your ego, if nothing else, and it puts your mind on something that tastes deliciously primal. It’s very dog-eat dog.
Now wrap the Become a God, product in New Age Wrappings add a few scientific phrases like the Quantum Field and Manifestation and people think it’s real intellectual food.
But the new age product only looks good because the millionaires tout it. For the rest of us who are middle and lower class in the economic scale, the new age product isn’t doing much to make us millionaires.
The concept makes sense, use the mind to create reality, but in the physical world, there’s more to mental creativity than thought. If you truly want to create you cannot use your own mind, you must tap into the mind of God; and if you have turned away from God, you’ll need to come back to God to do it. The question is Will God accept you?
God is focused on what benefits heaven, not what benefits you. So in order to use God’s mind, you first must understand heaven and to understand heaven, you have to become acquainted with the spirit you renounced when you chose to serve the flesh.
So let’s see what it would look like if man COULD become a God.
The Age of Light Ministry doesn’t take tithes. All our information is free. We don’t hold costly seminars. We share all information that is generated from the Holy Spirit and we do so without cost to you. So here is our class called:
So You Want To Be A God.
Step One.
First you have to surrender your human identity and get to know your spirit. To do this, you have to go back to innocence and forget the dog eat dog human programming which tells you to serve money and join the 1% that run the world.
You have to surrender all your ideas, thoughts and beliefs which serve the human condition and you must cultivate thoughts, ideas and beliefs which serve the God condition. Not the God condition of destruction and conquering, but the God condition of pure spirit; the God condition of peace and stillness; the God condition of pacifism.
You have to get into the zone where you are pure thought and energy and nothing else. You have no body and nothing is personal to you.
This level can be hard to understand never mind reach because it is a mental level of stillness where the mind is actually thoughtless, but the energy vibration felt throughout the body is high. This feeling is much like being purely inspired by something amazingly positive.
To experience this, you will need to practice clearing your mind and being mentally still.
Step Two
The spirit needs food just as the human body needs food. The spirit needs holy food, which is virtuous food, which is found in all things that are virtuous; virtuous thoughts, virtuous deeds and virtuous intentions and proclivities as well as virtuous feelings.
So in order to get in touch with your spirit, first find something virtuous that you connect with: love, compassion, mercy, tolerance, forgiveness, patience, kindness, benevolence, generosity, selflessness, honor, integrity, innocence; any or all of these qualities will do for a start. Connecting with your inner child is a great way to go back to innocence. You don’t want to personalize these feelings. You want to only experience the purity in them.
So if you connect with your inner child, do not focus on it being a little you, focus only on the innocence and wonder.
If you focus on love, do not personalize love, focus only on the feeling of love. The intention is to experience these things purely, without a self. This will feed the spirit.
Step Three
The third step is to spend time in nature as a passive observer. Be mindful of where you step, be watchful for your feelings and thoughts. Breathe deep the scent of the woods, the flora, the mountain air and just listen quietly to the sounds of natural life. See it and know it, for it is all Spirit and it is all a part of God and when you are silently observing these things and breathing them in, you are a part of the web of existence whereas when you are driving in your car, you are not. When you are at your job, you are not. When you are doing anything involving the human world, when you are doing anything that serves the human world, you are not connected to the web of existence; you are connected to the human world.
God’s world is the Spirit. It does not begin and end with humans and their world.
Step Four
The vessel that houses man, the human body, when fed properly, ingests virtuous foods, which are the natural foods of the earth that carry a higher vibration. These foods are the fruits and vegetables of the earth. Even grains are not praised for their high energy content as are fruits and vegetables. Who praises these things? God.
Genesis 1:29 “I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food.”
Give yourself a week on a spirit diet, and if you need to raise your protein level, choose vegan and vegetarian meat free protein sources or protein shakes that do not contain animal products.
Give yourself a week on a spirit diet that exclusively feeds the spirit and see the difference in your energy level, in your thoughts, in your perceptions, in your feelings and your awareness. But commit to the diet in combination with the other three practices.
Do all these things and see the difference between being spirit, serving Spirit, and being man and serving man.
If you find you are more invigorated being spirit; you have the potential to be God, and you are closer to your goal then you were when you were human serving human.
But we have only scratched the surface here, because to truly become God, you must embody holiness and that path is one of extreme discipline and sacrifice.
But for now, if you can apply these four practices, a return to innocence; feeding the spirit virtue, feeding the body high energy spirit food and the still-observation practice in nature, you are on your way.
The human ideas of God are not accurate or realistic. God is not a being of absolute power who destroys absolutely.
The true nature of God is the nature of intelligence and peace. In a word, God is the highest perfection. And this is why man is not God.
Man has not only accepted he is not perfect, he falls back on imperfection as a saving grace believing he doesn’t have to even try because being fallible is being lovable.
But some faults aren’t lovable, like destroying the environment and participating in the animal holocaust. These things are just destructive all the way around.
The highest condition of a God is the condition of peace.
I asked the Holy Spirit: “There are people who claim they are at peace with killing.”
The Holy Spirit answered: “In tens of thousands of years I have not met a soul who was at peace with the death he caused. But I have heard the cries of many who were tormented by killing. The killing force in a man is not a force of peace; it is a relentless energy that cannot be satiated. The appetite cannot be quenched. It is a restless call to shed blood that never sleeps and the man that houses such a spirit will also know no sleep. The man who says he is at peace with killing is at peace with enjoying the work of killing; he does not know peace but the ecstasy of blood lust and the thrill of the hunt. These things are not peace, they are active. Peace is restful, it is the opposite of action, peace is inaction. The man who claims he is at peace with killing deceives himself as well as you. He is on an endless journey of death; he will know no peace.”
I asked, "You say make peace with life and death and you say peace is inactive. Can you explain then making peace with life when life is active?"
The Holy Spirit answered: “Be at peace with life, whatever conditions you face, whatever situations you endure. Forgive. Make amends for all harm you cause and forgive all harm perpetrated on you. Be still in the mind; do not harbor ill thoughts, do not hold grudges, do not hold on to bitterness, resentment or anger, but hold an inactive mind and a calm heart, free from hate. This is how you make peace with life and death.”
This is advice on how to be a God from the actual source: from God Himself.
Is perfection too high to reach?
Only you can decide.
At the beginning of this lecture I asked, is The Age of Light a new age religion?
Because I was called to ministry through the Holy Spirit, I’m going to let his message be my answer.
“The new age is fast approaching, yea it is upon you. If you do not see it, rub the darkness from your eyes. How long can man go on in his destructive ways before he annihilates his very species? The past is gone and with it shall go all darkness. The light is the new age. The new age is the new world which is fast approaching as the old world dies. You do not have to accept it, yea, you do not have to be a part of it, it will come with or without your consent. Each must make up his own mind as to the truth. As it was in the beginning and shall be in the end, what will prevail will be the highest good. This will not be the good that serves any one of you, but the good that serves all of creation. For all of creation is also all of heaven. Those who have ears that hear what is holy, let them hear this. All things born of heaven will survive in the new age. All else will fall away.”
When I read this message to my sister, she directed me to scripture in the book Isaiah in the New Testament. The scripture is Isaiah 43:18-19: “Remember not the former things nor consider the things of old. Behold, I am doing a new thing, now it springs forth. Do you not perceive it? It will make a way in the wilderness, rivers and in the desert. The wild animals honor me, the jackals and the owls because I provide water in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.”
The Age of Light Ministry was formed to serve the Holy Spirit and we continue in His service.
Thank you and God Bless.
