As requested, I present the following excerpts from The Aquarian Gospel. Words of Jesus are in RED.
Aquarian Gospel (AG) Chapter 22, verses 19 - 31
19) Again Lamaas asked, Of understanding what have you to say? 20) And Jesus said, It is the rock on which man builds himself; it is the gnosis of the aught and of the naught, of falsehood and of truth. 21) It is the knowledge of the lower self; the sensing of the powers of man himself. 22) Again Lamaas asked, Of wisdom what have you to say? 23) And Jesus said, It is the consciousness that man is aught; that God and man are one; 24) That naught is naught; that power is but illusion; that heaven and earth and hell are not above, around, below, but in; which in the light of aught becomes the naught, and God is all. 25) Lamaas asked, Pray, what is faith? 26) And Jesus said, Faith is the surety of the omnipotence of God and man; the certainty that man will reach the deific life. 27) Salvation is a ladder reaching from the heart of man to heart of God. 28) It has three steps; Belief is first, and this is what man thinks, perhaps, is truth. 29) And faith is next, and this is what man knows is truth. 30) Fruition is the last, and this is man himself, the truth. 31) Belief is lost in faith; and in fruition is lost; and man is saved when he has reached deific life; when he and God are one.

CHAPTER 26
Jesus at Katak. The car of Jagannath. Jesus reveals to the people the emptiness of Brahmic rites,and how to see God in man. Teaches them the divine law of sacrifice.
IN all the cities of Orissa Jesus taught. At Katak, by the river side, he taught, and thousands of the people followed him. 2) One day a car of Jagannath was hauled along by scores of frenzied men, and Jesus said, 3) Behold, a form without a spirit passes by; a body with no soul; a temple with no altar fires. 4) This car of Krishna is an empty thing, for Krishna is not there. 5) This car is but an idol of a people drunk on wine of carnal things. 6) God lives not in the noise of tongues; there is no way to him from any idol shrine. 7) God's meeting place with man is in the heart, and in a still small voice he speaks; and he who hears is still. 8) And all the people said, Teach us to know the Holy One who speaks within the heart, God of the still small voice. 9) And Jesus said, The Holy Breath cannot be seen with mortal eyes; nor can men see the Spirits of the Holy; 10) But in their image man was made, and he who looks into the face of man, looks at the image of the God who speaks within. 11) And when man honors man he honors God, and what man does for man, he does for God. 12) And you must bear in mind that when man harms in thought, or word or deed another man, he does a wrong to God. 13) If you would serve the God who speaks within the heart, just serve your near of kin, and those that are no kin, the stranger at your gates, the foe who seeks to do you harm; 14) Assist the poor, and help the weak; do harm to none, and covet not what is not yours; 15) Then, with your tongue the Holy One will speak; and he will smile behind your tears, will light your countenance with joy, and fill your hearts with peace. 16) And then the people asked, To whom shall we bring gifts? Where shall we offer sacrifice? 17) And Jesus said, Our Father-God asks not for needless waste of plant, of grain, of dove, of lamb. 18) That which you burn on any shrine you throw away. No blessings can attend the one who takes the food from hungry mouths to be destroyed by fire. 19) When you would offer sacrifice unto our God, just take your gift of grain, or meat and lay it on the table of the poor. 20) From it an incense will arise to heaven, which will return to you with blessedness. 21) Tear down your idols; they can hear you not; turn all your sacrificial altars into fuel for the flames. 22) Make human hearts your altars, and burn your sacrifices with the fire of love. 23) And all the people were entranced, and would have worshiped Jesus as a God; but Jesus said, 24) I am your brother man just come to show the way to God; you shall not worship man; praise God, the Holy One.
AG Chapter 28, verses 20 - 26
20) When men become afraid of God, and take him for a foe, they dress up other men in fancy garbs and call them priests. 21) And charge them to restrain the wrath of God by prayers; and when they fail to win his favor by their prayers, to buy him off with sacrifice of animal, or bird. 22) When man sees God as one with him, as Father-God, he needs no middle man, no priest to intercede; 23) He goes straight up to him and says, My Father-God! and then he lays his hand in God's own hand, and all is well. 24) And this is God. You are, each one, a priest, just for yourself; and sacrifice of blood God does not want. 25) Just give your life in sacrificial service to the all of life, and God is pleased. 26) When Jesus had thus said he stood aside; the people were amazed, but strove among themselves.
