1 Secrets of the kingdom: The All Truth of the Holy Spirits

 

"Oh, there is so much more I want to tell you, but you cannot understand it now. When the Spirit of Holiness and Truth comes, he will guide you into all truth."

Go back with me to the time of Jesus. Then, life was very different. The people were young, inexperienced, morally deficient and intellectually inferior. Electricity had not yet been discovered: there were no telephones, no radios and no television sets; and at night, just to keep warm, people had to keep an open fire. There were no motor vehicles. Most people walked while the more affluent rode on the backs of animals. There were no trains or buses, airplanes or spaceships. No cameras, no computers, microscopes or telescopes, microwaves, air conditioning or refrigerators. No high-rise buildings or inter-island bridges. Water had to be brought up the mountain in pails.

Science was in its infancy. Ignorance was pervasive and superstition was the law. There was a very high illiteracy rate. Reading, writing and the beginnings of a formal education were accessible only to members of the nobility and the monastic scholars. Books were a rarity and there were no newspapers. People believed that the world was flat, that the sun was God and that the earth was the center of the Universe.

It is no wonder that Jesus referred to the people as sheep, lovable in their innocence, gentle and meek unless provoked, but incapable of deep rational thinking. And so, the divine teachings and instructions were simplified and coached in parables.

Learning and instruction are progressive. First the simple, followed by continued amplification and upgrading. So Jesus admitted, he did not reveal everything he knew. The Holy Spirit would see to the rest.

Who is the Holy Spirit? How does he guide us? What new things will he be teaching us? 'Secrets of the kingdom' reveals the answers to most all of our compelling questions about life, even the secrets kept hidden since the foundation of the world.

4. Bonding time, snacks (optional)

 Additional helpful information: 

Spiritist training session:

“Where two or three of you gather in my name, there will I be in the midst of you. ”

The evening training session can run for three or four hours extending up to past midnight. The activities participated in by all the members in turn can include among others: meditation, or tuning in to the Divine, evangelization with emphasis on Biblical teachings, clairvoyance, or seeing non-physical objects and Spirits, automatic writing and trance mediumship to obtain a direct communication with the Guides, astral traveling, and healing arts, including the blessing of oil and water.

A competent Spiritualist or Spiritist medium, if available, can provide useful insights and information based on his/her expertise and experience.

The ‘Inner Quest Guide to developing our mediumship’ can be found in ‘Secrets of the kingdom (Inner Quest Studies, Book 2)’.

Provided that the participants are genuinely motivated for good and desire to learn and advance, spiritually, the Guides will provide all the protection and guidance that will be needed.

As an added precaution, should anything untoward occur, the training session may be terminated at any time by those in-charge and resumed only after all the issues have been satisfactorily resolved.

Theosophical study session:

The weekly study sessions and discussions are moderated by the designated officer and take-up various subjects or lessons which are of special interest to the members in attendance. In theory, and also in practice, most of the time depending on who moderates, there is no single authority in regard to the teachings, but each student is to contribute his own understanding so that the whole group may view all aspects and levels of the Teachings. 

The leader’s role then is to encourage the active participation of every student and draw him in to the discussions. This affords everyone more opportunities to learn and likewise enable the students to develop their communication and teaching skills.

In regard to practical applications, the participants are enjoined to henceforth live their life in accordance with the divine principles they are learning.

51 The end, the new beginning

Dear Graduates,

We've now come to the close of our study. Now it's your turn to share your thoughts. How did you find the advanced course? Was it informative enough for you? Were the teachings and concepts clearly and adequately explained? Are the principles reasonable and useful to you? How were you helped, if at all?

Email us your thoughts and suggestions to enable us to better serve the next batch of students.

If you feel inclined, you can help us in other ways. If you were benefited by your study, perhaps you would want to encourage others to also take up the Course. You can also help by spreading the word to your friends whom you feel might be interested in initiating their own quest for Higher Truth. Enjoin them to buy this book or better yet, gift them with their own copy by sending them the link where they can download a free copy. Or else, invite them to browse our websites or join our social platforms.

Congratulations on your completion! You will never come to regret it if you will apply all that you have learned in your daily life, from hereon in. This is your new beginning. Have a good life!

Take time to reflect on what you have learned, go back to what you skipped and review what you weren’t able to fully understand. Analyze, test and question all the divine principles. Be thorough and meticulous. You need to be clear regarding them before you may be sufficiently enabled to comprehend the true teachings of Jesus and the “all truth” of the Spirits of Truth.

50 Planting seeds of Truth

  

Today, there is no reason for anyone to remain in the dark, ignorant concerning life, not knowing what it is about. Simply choose the Light. Open your eyes. Begin to see more clearly. You too can begin to understand. 

Under the guidance of the Archangel Michael, INNER QUEST was founded in 1987 to help in the preparations for the coming New Age of Enlightenment. Tasked by the Holy Spirits to help disseminate their New Teachings, INNER QUEST then is a school or a center for spiritual learning.

INNER QUEST is a wellspring, a source of divine guidance and knowledge, a vehicle or medium through which the Spirits of Truth can administer their divine guidance and instruction. It flows rivers of living water from which anyone may draw as much as he requires or wants, as much as he is ready to drink — that water that once you drink, you will never thirst again.

However, INNER QUEST is only a link in the chain that is the New Age Movement. We continue the work of the Masters and the Spirits of Truth, while attempting to unite as one all that have come before. There is only One God and one Truth, after all. It is merely a matter of being able to access the entire Big Picture.

Therefore, we at INNER QUEST are not against any religion, sect or school. We support them, in fact; hopefully adding to their store of divine knowledge should they be receptive to the Spirits’ leading. Every religion and school, without exception, is limited to the extent that they only address certain aspects and levels of the Teachings and not all. But we fully recognize their good intentions. And all who work for good are working for God, too.

In the sense that we teach concerning God, INNER QUEST may be considered as a religion. However, INNER QUEST is not a religion because we do not demand the blind acceptance of what we teach. Moreover, we do not seek converts, nor do we require that our students convert from their religion even after they complete their studies. We merely introduce for the students’ consideration certain new ideas and higher concepts, which we know to be true, that can gradually, but inevitably, displace all half-truths and false teachings. And after having learned and equipped themselves more fully, they can then serve where the Holy Spirit leads them to serve, according to their own perceiving.

INNER QUEST teaches only those principles that can be verified by everyone through his own direct personal experiences. Experience alone can validate a proposed theory or teaching, hence it will be forthcoming depending on our need. Consequently, we readily accept that which we have already experienced to be true. Otherwise, we will just have to wait for the necessary validation. But provided a student persists, in time, he will be able to find all the proofs he needs.

Through the development of his mediumship or by availing of the mediumship of others, anyone can obtain valuable insights and incontrovertible proofs. Mediumship is the facility that allows us to bridge the barrier between our world and the next. And it involves the employment of the faculties of clairvoyance, clairaudience, clairsentience, astral travel, telepathy, automatic writing, trance mediumship, healing and others.

Still more than these, many earnest students experience intuitive remembrances and past life recollections that serve as their undeniable confirmation of the spiritual teachings.

We believe in the saying that if you give a man fish, he will be able to eat for a day. However, if you teach him to fish, then he will be able to eat every day. Similarly at INNER QUEST, we teach the principles of life. Those who abide by the principles ensure their future success. In following the divine laws, we gain everything our heart desires.

Over the years, so much of the New Teachings have been entrusted to us, not for our benefit alone, but for others, as well. It is our pleasure then to share them with you, today.

Finally, it is important to realize that INNER QUEST can only plant the seeds of Truth. The student alone has the power to accept or reject what the Holy Spirit offers him. He must first open up his mind and heart to the New Teachings. He himself must exert the necessary efforts. He must overcome every obstacle that comes his way and pass his necessary trials. He must avail of the opportunities that present themselves to him and apply what he is learning in his daily life. Only then can he nurture the seed. Only then can the seed germinate, grow and bear much fruit in this life and in his future incarnations.

 

49 The Truth, plain and simple

 

The Truth can be complicated and deep. But it can also be plain and simple. In fact, Jesus told us: "Today, I speak to you in parables, but the time is coming when I will be speaking to you plainly." 

So let's do that. Allow me to tell it to you like it is and in the process, you will be able to get past all the lies, half-truths and false teachings that have kept you in the dark for so long. 

Who are we and what is our true nature? What is the meaning of life? What is the purpose of life on Earth? Who are the Holy Spirits? And what is the true Path?

The answers can be really simple. Let us first take up these simple basics before we delve any deeper into more advanced and complex spirit matters. If you can focus on these plain truths, understanding the rest will become a whole lot easier.

We are spirits, children of the One God, in His image. In the beginning, we were created innocent and ignorant, destined to attain to our spiritual perfection through our own exertions. As our Father-God is, so will we become - at-one with Him.

The whole of the Cosmos is our school, the Earth, just one of many classrooms where we take up certain specialized subjects. Here on Earth, as revealed in the Book of Genesis, we take up what is right and what is wrong, learn all about good and evil from direct personal experience, and the things of character, building and refining them to perfection. Being born into this world is like people going to school. One lifetime is just as one day in class.

Love and service to our fellowmen is the Path. Reincarnation is the process. Karma is the governing rule.

There are many different levels or orders of spirits. The Holy Spirit is simply a spirit that is already holy. Those of us who are here studying are still developing spirits, under their instruction and guidance. But after we complete our studies over a series of many incarnations, we will graduate and become holy spirits, ourselves.

Somewhat different from all that you have been taught by your religion. You may be a little confused and unbelieving.

That is perfectly alright. But "Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all things will simply be added on to you," even the knowledge of the Truth.

For now, keep open and stay focused on the plain and simple. Stay away if you feel you should. And when you are ready, come back and continue on to the next pages, the higher stages of your development.

This Website takes up the Teachings of Jesus and the All Truth of the Holy Spirits. Prepare to discover new and wonderful things.
