He says "Ascended Masters" are well meaning and sometimes associated with Eastern religious, but are unaware that they are deficient--and incapable of "going to heaven"--owing to their ignorance of Jesus Christ. No justification is given for the Christian supremacy ideology. I guess you're just supposed to know about that.
What you make of it is up to you. Personally, I suspect its a trap, a way to help people feel comfortable in their fear. But I could be wrong about that.
The idea that one must believe that Christ died for our sins (whether or not the individual known as Christ believed it) and one can only be saved through him (Christ) in order to "go to heaven" is, to me, certainly fear-based.
I do think each individual finds their own way, and walks their own path. But organized religions have hijacked human consciousness for millennia. I would hope controlling myths (my term) such as redemption through Christ will fade as humanity becomes more aware of the fear and separation that is based on. And that a desire to seek unity, even if it is less cozy and takes more courage to face the unknown, will surface and supersede the hold religions continue to have over Earth's population.
