Two Paths

[QUOTING]

This is a moment of cosmic choice for the people of Earth. We have been given the power to build new worlds, or to destroy our own world. We stand at the threshold of Universal Humanity...or at the brink of Armageddon.

We see beyond us the New Jerusalem, the vision of ourselves in the future, which Christ came to Earth to reveal. We also see the abyss between here and there.

The New Jerusalem is the next stage of evolution. It is a community of natural Christs, co-operating with each other and God, endowed with the capacity to overcome hunger, planet-boundedness, death and separation from the universal community of life in the many mansions of this infinite Creation.

[The common, exoteric interpretation of] The Revelation to John described the violent path to the New Jerusalem. It is the way of a planet whose inhabitants refuse to give up their selfish life.

In this text, we discover a loving path to the New Jerusalem. It is a path for a planet whose people choose to use their power, in all its splendor, for the transformation of the whole body of humankind. 

The choice is given to our generation. There are alternatives to the Tribulations. There are graceful births towards universal life. This text...is written for those who seek to work together for the Planetary Birth, a peaceful Second Coming of the Christ within and beyond -- the birth of Universal Humanity.

From "The Revelation - A Message Of Hope For The New Millenium" - Barbara Marx Hubbard (1993)
