The new spirituality is that it will produce an experience in human encounters in which we become a living demonstration of the basic spiritual teaching 'We are all one.'
I think that things happen individually first, and then collectively. It's not the other way around.
I was told to challenge every spiritual teacher, every world leader to utter the one sentence that no religion, no political party, and no nation on the face of the earth will dare utter: 'Ours is not a better way, ours is merely another way.
As told in Friendship with God, if we simply decided to believe and act as if first, we're all one, and second, life is eternal, it would render virtually everything we've done all our lives pointless.
We've seen in the last half century an incredible shift. This is just an extraordinary time to be alive.
The new spirituality will also base itself on a third very large spiritual understanding, which is that life is eternal. Most religious people claim to believe that, but very few people actually live as if that were true.
The new spirituality will bring about what I'm calling the 'end of better.' And that is in fact what is called for in the next of the series of books that I've been writing.
They may not use the word better. But they certainly believe that they'll go to heaven and Jews will not.
And because we are, somehow, better than they, we get to go to heaven and they don't. Christians will tell you outright that they believe that.
As we move into the 21st century, there's what the Bible calls a 'quickening of the spirit.'
It'll become obvious that we've really been working against ourselves.
I think that's a result of just a general increase in speed of the vibration of life itself.
The sad part about our past is that religions, ironically enough, are responsible for creating the most destructive idea that has ever been visited upon the human race: the idea that there is such a thing as 'better.'
Beyond the Catholic exclusionary paradigm is a larger one which is the Christian one. Christians claim that if you don't believe in Christ, you can't get to heaven. Well that eliminates two thirds of the world's population!
And in which we say that life is eternal but continue to struggle to survive.
Because our choices are largely based on survival. But if life is eternal, life is not a question.
I'm calling my book series the 'with God series.' And this next 'with God' book is Friendship with God, which comes out in November. This books challenges us to bring about the end of 'better' on this planet.
It's a very small and select slice of all the people who have ever been born. I believe we've come back during this time, those of us who are here now, specifically to experience it. And to cause a 'quickening of the spirit.'
