A key part of our assignment from the LORD is that we achieve transcendence. Scripture tells us how this is done.
If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples. As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love. If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father’s commandments, and abide in his love. These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full.This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you. Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you. Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you.
Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.
These things I command you, that ye love one another.
If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you. If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.
(John 15:7-19) At the start of the New Age, the people received a clear vision of the potential for transcendence of the human condition. This clear vision was embodied in the person of Jesus of Nazareth, the Christ. However, the vision is not limited to the time of the start of the New Age; during the time of the unfolding of the Old Testament, the vision was there, too. At that time, the vision was being pressed forward by the people of God, as they progressed through time to join with the waiting New Testament, in a time that had not come yet. Jesus Christ witnessed to this spanning, Old to New, of the potential for transcendence in mankind.
