Beryl Pogson quote

I don't want to pick on Beryl Pogson, not having read her books to a sufficient degree, but a quote by her is at the front of the Eureka Editions 'Simple Explanation of Work Ideas' by Maurice Nicoll which is very new age (shallow):

"The Teaching is to prepare people for the Aquarian Age where all religions can be united - united by the fundamental truths contained in every religion." - 'More Work Talks 1966' pg. 93, Beryl Pogson


This way of thinking can put other religions at the same level of Christianity when Jesus is merely seen as a teacher or great Master, and not as Saviour and Lord. To see the latter you need to see things like original sin, your situation under the curse of the law, your inability to save yourself, etc... - C.

Beryl Pogson's The True Myth is among the best Fourth Way books available. She has a real knack for relating the cosmological and the practical. This and Cynthia Bourgeault's The Wisdom Jesus make great companions for anyone trying to get deeper into it.
