John is talking of finding Divine Love inthe committed relationship to a life partner, a theme to be reiteratedin the tape we later listen to. The Church disseminates its teachingsthrough audio tapes of Rev. Keith Milton Rhinehart acting as a medium fora higher intelligence. Rhinehart goes into trance and allows an AscendantMaster to talk through him. They have various names, but the oneon the tape today identifies himself only as The Unknown Master. Mediumship and psychic phenomena are at thecenter of the Aquarian Foundation, and there is plenty of material verifyingthe authenticity of Rev. Rhinehart's abilities.
Church members lookto the medium's instrumentality to find truth, comfort and healing.
Philosophically, the Foundation aligns itself with the Theosophy, Rosicrucianand Spiritualist movements started last century, and with the earlier Transcendentalistschool in America. It also recognizes the importance of yoga andembraces members of other religious faiths. It does not place importancein beliefs as much as in an ongoing acquisition of knowledge. Eventuallythis search for knowledge is to lead to universal self-realization forall mankind. The tape starts.
