The Aquarian Gospel of Jesus the Christ, originally published in December 1908 by Levi H Dowling is an account of Jesus' life purportedly transcribed from the Akashic Records. The Aquarian Gospel documents the 18 years of Jesus' life missing from the Bible where he travels to the wisdom centers of India, Tibet, Persia, Assyria, Greece, and Egypt. In each city, he is mentored by their respective religious leaders and then is tested and teaches them, essentially proving he is 'God's chosen one'. The Aquarian Gospel uses 'Christ' to exemplify the seemingly perfect human being and illustrates how Jesus was not born as The Christ, rather, through effort, devotion and desire, he enables himself to be fit to become the vessel of Christ and further show the way back to God via his lifestyle and teachings as the example we must model our own lives after if we seek salvation.
