The New Age Movement isn’t just a fantastical term. It is a reality. It has been sought out for over 200 years with connections back to the beginning. It is essentially a longing for a new and better truth. This truth is personified in an influential world figure. Just as Jesus Christ changed the world and the way humans think about this world, so to will this new figure change things. The NAM believes that Jesus is just one of many “spiritual avatars.” That is, he was a great philosophical and religious thinker that moved us to higher truth. The same could be said of Buddha or Muhammad. History is cyclical in that it will repeat itself, so earth will receive another great thinker. Yet history is progressive, also, in the sense that it’s moving toward an ultimate high point. So the world is at a point where we need a new thinker to come onto the scene. We’re eagerly anticipating the arrival of this figure to enlighten us. We need him/her to progress through the evolutionary rut that we’re stuck in. Old teachings held back the people and figures such as Buddha and Christ freed people from heavy bonds. Cultures could progress in various ways through their teachings. Humanity has to prepare the way for this new figure. The “energy of love” [Christ] and the “energy of illumination” [Buddha] are ready to be revamped. These were the fruit of human experience of their time. They teach that you, the individual, can be like Christ. “The divinity you need is within you.”
This above post is the teaching of The Lucis Trust speech by Inner Sight Broadcast: "Two Brothers: The Buddha and Christ" (1st week of May, 2007). Later, we'll find out who exactly this Lucis Trust is.
