I am very grateful to have discovered the thoroughly researched paper, The True Story Behind “The Aquarian Gospel” from which I feel it is necessary to paraphrase in the next few paragraphs.

When I came to Pac University for my Theology degree four years ago, I purely thought this is a theological institution.
