There have been so many exchanges about the nature of this teaching and in particular how it does or does not line up with the teachings of Jesus. The New Age began with the dawning of the Age of Aquarius, some astrologers believe this occurred in 1962. The symbol for this sign is a man pouring forth water, he's referred to as the water bearer. In Luke 22:10 the disciples ask Jesus where they should prepare the Passover Feast, he tells them to look for the man carrying a water pot, he will show you to the room where the last supper will take place (I'm paraphrasing). The first act Jesus performs in the upper room, is to take that water and wash their feet.
I would like to suggest that we have now entered into an Age where the water bearer is pouring forth, and a new wave of consciousness is sweeping the earth. Jesus, is standing in the upper room waiting to wash the feet of anyone who is willing to come to the table. Those who are being awakened by the teachings in this book, are finding themselves at the Passover Feast, a passover from an old way of doing religion to a new, more vibrant truth. Jesus then takes us to the cross and shows us what it means to crucify the ego, the flesh, the part of us that wants to keep us so divided against one another; he prays that we all might be one, that we might know our oneness with the author of creation as well as with each other.
This is what is meant by the new covenant, a new way of relating, of loving, of breaking bread, drinking wine and remembering the path He prepared for us to follow.......The New Earth!
Bless you Lord for your faithfulness.
