Legacy
The Aquarian Christine Church Universal, Inc. (ACCU) is a denomination founded on the teachings found in The Aquarian Gospel and other writings by Levi H. Dowling. These include Self-culture and Biopneuma: The Science of the Holy Breath. The church also incorporates other New Age teachings. It is similar to the "I AM Movement" and the Ascended Master Teachings.
Through exhaustive archival research, ACCU founder, Rev. Dr. J. L. Watson discovered that in a letter to Levi Dowling's brother-in-law, Isaac Newton Demmon (1842-1920), he relates his being appointed divisional chaplain and topographical engineer serving on Gen. Egan's staff in the 3rd Provisional Division and him giving a eulogy to Union troops in Illinois at a memorial service in honor of President Abraham Lincoln. No prior biographer of Levi Dowling had ever mentioned this fact.http://bentley.umich.edu/research/guides/civilwar/civilwar_search.php?nameid=292 In a biographical sketch included in the original publication of "Self-culture," Levi is said to have taught and lectured medical students in the use of electricity in medicine, and thus had an early influence on modern medicine. The Aquarian Christine Church considers Dowling an Ascended Master.
