Here follows twenty statements to clarify the orientation of the Advanced Testament on the primary topics of meaning and value.

1) We approach God through relationships based on love as expressed through our development of consciousness. The quality of 'my' personal objectivity as aligned with God's original relationship with his children, expresses my degree of consciousness.

2) God is not the type of being or relationship we can capture within our words ( this statement is our only negation). God states, "I am who I am"  and thereby is the original source of identity beyond everything else.

3) Through an unconditional desire for relationships God created everything from his parental heart of affirmation, "Let there be...", is his nature.

4) From that original affirmation the 'Big Bang' expressed the energy and purpose which forms the spiritual and physical basis of all reality and substance.

5) Infused through the spiritual and physical existence of reality and substance is an ineffable quality of participation, which we call Life.

6) Our earth-based experiences occur between the opening and closing of the gates of Birth and Death. Yet the matter of Life which infuses vitality into our very existence and consciousness, remains eternally beyond our grasp - it is God's gift to creation - and we are originally the quality part of creation destined for eternal relationships.

7) Human beings are God's affirmation of relationship and we are endowed with the original nature of heart, intellect and will for our functioning. Connected with God's purpose through the Three Blessings (see Bible,Genesis 2) of personal growth, social relationships and constructive creativity, we are free to elaborate and develop our relationships and identify with God's being.

8) The prototype first generation humans, Adam and Eve partially succeeded in fulfilling their responsibilities and relationships with God - but they found failure with an angel and through negation, entered a world of dualistic reality.

9) The dualistic world, parasitically dependent on God;s original model has mulitplied geometrically across time and generations, to produce a world of impossible schizophrenic symptomology.

10) God has followed his lost children seeking to guide them out of their self-perpetuating confusion. He conditionally recognizes his original relationships and commences inspiring any individual whose identity remains firmly connected within their original consciousness.

11) Through a series of relationships starting from the lowest conditions of human existence, God has steadily developed the strength of his connection with the lost and confused children. Steadily improvements have come - despite our misbehavior and demon-possessed malevolence.

12) In seeking to restore the original prototypes of Adam and then Eve, God has had to work through the labyrinthe of human history and conditions. His investment step by step assists representative humans to reconstruct their original identity.

13) Many people have contributed in incremental ways to this progression - Noah, Abraham, Jacob and Esau, the prophets and dedicated or faithful persons (e.g. Plato, Buddha, Confucius). The culmination of this historical process was Jesus of Nazareth, who for all time is established in that original fulfilled relationship, first meant for Adam as God's true son. We are all meant to become like Jesus by growing to fulfil our original relationship with God.

14) Despite God's and Jesus' victory in re-establishing and fulfilling in the original relationship of love and consciousness, humans have remained confused and trapped in error. We killed Jesus instead of following and learning from him - so God has mercifully assisted us to make Christianity our offering, salvaged from the wreckage of the opportunity originally given through Jesus.

15) Over the past 2,000 years the confusion and mayhem has persisted and multiplied as humans have striven to maintain their cultures of folly and confusion while absenting themselves from the opportunity to enter an authentic relationship with God in love and consciousness. Making Jesus into a god has further compounded the confusion and delayed the process.

16) Finally the true state of human affairs is surfacing because all and every dualistic possibility for human misbehavior has become exhausted in this schizophrenic world. The original relationship of love and consciousness, as rediscovered and completed by Jesus as God's true son, the second and completed Adam is now clearly revealed.

17) Personal, familial, societal, world and universal relationship on the original basis with the God of Love, Life, Ideal and Consciousness is attainable for all humans, through the re-orientation of our hearts, minds, will and being. These are to be re-established in the original relationships.

18) This process of rediscovery, reclaiming our true and original relationship, reconnecting through the original purpose and heart is now attainable. It is found in the Counter-revolution to ALL the world's cultures which have functioned to hold us in check, while nurturing us with a mix of good and evil - with health and sickness, with purity and toxins.

19) To return to the original relationship and consciousness with the God of Life is to resolutely turn our back on the status quo world of tragic schizophrenic history - the old 'normal'. The way to sanity to health, to love, consciousness and the structures of the original ideal is now clearly defined.

20) There is a stepped or stage by stage process to progress from where we find our individual self - to firstly maintain our balance and then to steadily enter the process of restoration and return to our original selves. The purpose is to fulfil our lives along the prototype path of Adam and Eve before their failure and then to continue under the guidance of Jesus to develop our love and consciousness in relationship to become God's Trees of Life in his Eternal Garden.

Through the teaching of the Advanced Testament all the details of the above progression from despair to hope to determination and realization are clearly set out. The substantiation of 'my' original identity in relationship with the God of Life is now a matter pf personal responsibility, joy and renewed purpose.
