Humanity – Prologue
Humanity: You have become so accostumed to your way of life in your world; that the existing evil, manifested in diverse forms, seems to be so familiar that you no longer stop to reflect on the causes of its origin.
The cause of so much pain and bitterness in the world, is due to your having made bad use of your free will, and you have broken the harmony that should exist between man and the laws dictated by the Author of life. Everything has been profaned by man, therefore, it mus be restored to its proper course.
Oh, humanity saddened, shadowed by pain and bitterness! How much evil I contemplate in your world! Children are already acquainted with bitterness and their heart quickly hardens. Flowers wilt while still in full bloom, gray hairs begin to shine prematurely. Discord has invaded the most intimate part in the life of men; very bitter has been the fruits produced by the lack of harmony amongst humanity. The world is agitated in the midst of a storm and has forgotten its spirit in the profoundness of its being. There is hunger in the heart of men, there exist spiritual decline and the need to live. I see you contemplate the course of this world with indifference.
Religions disregard one another and pull apart among themselves and vices gather strength within men. Attempt is made against life, which is sacred. My spirit contemplates humanity´s orphanhood, the emptiness that each carries in his heart, I see how they search for ways to satisfy it with pleasures and yet cannot find the means to calm their thirst, even within the spirit; I see it agitate in chaos, harboring war in the heart and even in the spirit; taking the homicidal weapon and giving loose rein to the tongue as a veritable two edge sword. Some attack, others defend themselves. Some sow death, while others cling on to life. Sin has multiplied and the enviroment is contaminated, confusing the mind and the heart.
Millions of people who are ill, inhabit the earth; children wandering throughout the world abandoned to their own fate, with no set path to follow; multitudes of elderly people without comfort; helpless widows and women who ignore the pleasures of that warmth in a true home.
Humanity, have you not become weary of struggling uselessly, unable to find the purpose of your existence? You present to Me a life without ideals because you have not found the joy in love, in charity and in benevolence.
Humanity raises the following questions to God: The pain that afflicts this world, will it be prolongued forever? When shall we be able to live within morality and virtue? When shall we see that mutual respect between parents and children and between spouses? When shall we see again the innocence in children, purity in maiden, righteousness in males, dignity in the elderly, justice in the judges, magnanimity in the rulers, in one word, love amongst men? I say to you, humanity, pain will disappear when there is respect, and charity between one another, when you recognize that you shall not dispose the life of another fellow-being or of your own. When you learn to see beyond yourselves; when you learn how to love and forgive; when hatred and selfishness disappear from your lives, and when you penetrate within yourselves and meditate on the origin of evil.
Up until now, even though the world is small, you have not learned to live as one family. In how many confusions you have fallen humanity! In spite of this, here before you is the one who has never become tired of waiting for you and who comes near your heart to fill its inmense emptiness with My love. Trust, and have hope; your days or expiation have been great; but soon you will contemplate a more limpid path and you shall have that peace you have longed for.
Beloved humanity, whom I have come to visit in exile and to comfort within its prision, feel My presence and you will lack nothing! I can only tell you that what is mine I will not let it become lost. I love you even before you existed, and I shall love you eternally.
I leave you this lesson, so that through it, you can look into the past, seeking your beginning, examine the present and look towards the future. Behold that the earth now seems so small to contain so much human pain. This world which should be the home of just one family, is the apple of discord and cause of absurd ambitions, treason and wars, allowing its heart to become poisoned with rebelliousness, bitterness, materialism and incomformity. Meditate in all this, and do not give judgement so I do not have to repeat to you: “He who is free of sin, cast the first stone”.
Let it Roll
– Do you know when, why and by whom the necktie was invented?
– Do you know why men do not thread the lower button in their blazers?
-Do you know why number 13 is considered bad news in Anglosaxon culture?
– Do you know the reason for Christmas’ trees in that season?
– Do you know where the interchange of gifts in December started?
-Do you know why women use buttons in the right side of their blouses and vests?
– Do you know why men use them in the left side?
Chances are that the answers for these simple questions -and many more of that nature- are out of boundaries for the average human being. After all, even in elementary schools you’ll find that teachers and mentors lead their pupils to obey and therefore, continue that long line of unexplained behaviors.
So then, why do men and women, children and elder, regardless of nation and race, creed or color, follow traditions so closely?
Why do they obey, as if it were divine commandments, rituals and traditions, when they ignore where or why those rituals and traditions started in the first place?
Why do they let it roll?
Speaking from a spiritual point of view, are traditions good for us? I know, I know, right at this moment you’ll probably could give me the proper…and traditional answer: Traditions are the foundation for family values…and for my country’s cultural roots (whatever nation it is the one in which you were born or you live in).
But, are they that necessary or good for man?
Let’s see…
Christ, our Lord, said: “Thus have ye made the commandment of God of none effect by your tradition.”
Jesus was not a blind observer of traditions, as seen in Mark 7, where He had a strong opposed point of view, that was, to say the least, unusual in that time. Verses 8 and 9 describe the opinion of Jesus towards traditions. “For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups; and many other such like things ye do”.
Hmm…many other things! And the words of Jesus kept slashing the observance of those futile customs and usages: “And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition”.
Alas! It is not argument then that the tradition is our own…it doesn’t matter who’s tradition it is, it is still not a good one!
And what is there to say about the strongest tradition of them all, the Sabbath, which was (and still is) so dear for our Jewish brothers? In Mark 2:27 He clearly states that tradition is not that relevant at all: “The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath”.
And in this era, the Holy Spirit communicated with men thru and gave us an even more wide explanation of things:
(All excerpts from the Third Testament)
“I have seen that the Law and Doctrines that I bequeathed to humanity in past eras, are kept hidden and have been substituted by rituals, exterior cults, and traditions.””It is the fear of taking a step toward the evolution; one step forward, accustomed to following the traditions that his ancestors bequeathed him.”
“Man fears to think and believe for himself, and he prefers to submit himself to the opinion of others, thus depriving himself of his freedom to know Me. For that reason, he has lived behind the times.”
“The time of enlightenment has come for humanity and with which man acquires his own free will.”
“How transparent and simple is the truth! How clear and simple is spirituality! However, how difficult it is to understand by one who is obstinate in the darkness of his fanaticism and of his traditions. His mind cannot conceive that there may be more than what he knows. His heart resists to renounce that which has been his god and his law: The tradition and the ritual.”
“Traditions stall man to advance in the precious path of the progress of the spirit”
Life After Life
What will we find at the other side of the tunnel? What do we know about the “beyond”? What does man know about what exists after this life?
There are so many theories about life after this life, and so much has been dogmatized about it that when the spirit after disencarnating expects to find exactly the place that it had imagined, depending on his current of thought or beliefs, it becomes confused when it does not find what in his concept should have been heaven, or the place of eternal rest. In the teachings which our Father has come to give us in this third epoch, He reveals that those spirits which have become confused due to their erroneous concept of the spiritual valley, upon not finding what they expected, and upon missing support of their accustomed matter, and without the sufficient preparation and spiritual elevation to leave the material valley, have created for themselves, without being aware, a world which is neither human nor profoundly spiritual in which they will remain until slowly, through meditation and pain will be able to comprehend that such is not the destined place for the evolution of their spirit. Then they will hear the voice of their conscience, and before it judge their past deeds, and surge within them the desire to repair their errors. It shall then be the beginnig of a return journey to the spiritual valley.
“Heaven is not a place, or a region, or a mansion; the heaven
of a spirit is its elevation and perfection, it is its state
of purity.” Third Testament. T 146:68
To those who believe that upon disencarnating their spirit will arrive to the valley of eternal rest, we have the obligation to tell them that in the spiritual valley is where the activity really begins, because inactivity is like death to the spirit. The “rest” which awaits the spirit is activity, growth through good deeds, not wasting one instant. When the spirit is working, it finds the true manner to rest, because by doing good things it unloads pain and remorse ; in other words, the spirit’s rest is the love for his Father and brethren.
Our Father says:
“In truth I tell you that if I would make your spirit remain inactive in order to rest, according to how you conceive rest on earth, the darkness of despair and anguish would possess him, because life and light of the spirit, as well as its major delight, are work, struggle and the unceasing activity.” The Third Testament. T 317:13
Let us then not expect to find a “beyond” different from that which really exists. Our spirit could swiftly arrive to it, if we understand it, and if we prepare ourselves so that when the moment of disencarnation arrives, our spirit can find itself enlightened to make its return journey to its real or true home.
“When death detains your heart beat and the light from your pupils are turned out, you will go to awaken to a marvelous world due to its harmony, order and justice.
“Your conscience which is above your being will not remain on earth, but it will come with the spirit to show itself before him as if a book of profound and wise lessons that will be studied by the spirit. There your spiritual eyes will open to the truth, and in an instant you will know how to interpret what in a whole life time you could not understand; there you will understand the value of all that you had possessed, you will experience the weight and repentment for all the committed errors, for the lost time, and within you will be born the most beautiful purposes of amendment and reparation.
“Comply with all My laws on earth, and you need not fear your arrival to the hereafter; In the same manner that you have seen the light of the world upon arriving, and as you have felt the presence of your parents, you will feel the presence of your Lord in that valley that awaits your return.” Third Testament T 170:47; 62:5; 125:59
Many Spiritual Gifts Within
How Many Gifts Are There?
I have given to My chosen ones, great spiritual gifts; one of them which is that of healing, the balsam, so that with that gift you may be able to fulfill one of the most beautiful missions among Humanity, since your planet is a valley of tears where pain is always found.
That balsam is not in your hands, but rather overflows from your compassionate glances of comfort, of understanding; it goes through your thoughts and is converted into sound counsel, into words of light.
The gift of healing has no limit. Don’t you ever forget that you are saturated with it, and if pain would take hold of you because you are subject to a trial, and if you are unable to remove it with that balsam, remember My teachings, forget your own suffering and think of the others in which sorrow is greater, and then you will see miracles in yourself and in your brethren.
Go always in search of those who suffer, and leave behind you the best fruits of your love as a trace of your passing.
You must not expect any retribution in this world, but if you wish to obtain any reward, let it be the one of satisfaction; the joy of making smile, the one who was weeping, having resurrected the dead to My truth, and having given comfort to the sad.
A long time ago, I chose you for this mission, and what I have done during this period, while inscribing a mark upon your forehead, has only been a confirmation of the destiny and gifts that you received from Me since the origin of your being.
Peace, strength, everlasting light, power over confused spirits; the gift of healing, of speech, the spiritual prayer and so many faculties which enrich your spirit, are the weapons with which you can work for the peace of this nation which will be a fruitful land of prophets, emissaries, teachers, and apostles of righteousness.
When all these prophecies are fulfilled, and men seek in the Scriptures some signs of them, they will be surprised to find, at each step, a clear indication of what your eyes beheld during this period and those that are to come. Then, humanity will say: Truly, this is the Third Era, the new coming of the Lord.
For some it will appear that these people enjoy some privilege, but later, all mankind will feel that the Spirit of the Lord is poured upon all his universal family, without distinction.
Sensitivity, presentiment, revelation, prophecy, inspiration, spiritual vision, healing, gift of speech, all of that, and other additional gifts will emerge from the spirit, and, through them, men will confirm that a new era has been unfolded before humanity.
Today you doubt the existence of those gifts, for there are some who conceal them from the world, fearing their judgment; tomorrow it will be the most natural and beautiful thing to possess them.
I come to you during this Third Era, for you are sick of the body and the spirit. The healthy one has no need of the doctor, nor does the just one require purification.
I taught you the greatest virtue, which is compassion. I inspired your heart and sensitized your sentiments. Now I come to reveal to you all the gifts with which your spirit is endowed, so that you can develop and apply them by practicing charity among your fellowmen.
In the same way as in all the eras, the life of man has been divided into eras or ages, and each of them has stood out for something; be it for its discoveries, for the divine revelations it has received, of for its science; likewise, the era just begun; the era that now looms ahead like a new dawn, will be noted for the development of the gifts of the spirit, the part you should have cultivated to avoid so many wrongdoings, and which you always left for later.
Materialism, the cause for the destruction of civilizations
How humanity has descended and fallen because of its materialism! How humanity grieves because of its indifference to truth, purity and elevated thoughts.
You now live in a time of confusion, where evil is considered good, where darkness is perceived as light, and where needless things are viewed as essential.
This tragedy has occurred because of the materialism that humanity has fallen into. This tragedy was the result of humanity placing the spirit last, giving preference to the passions of the matter and the ideas of death. If the matter is selfish, what other fruit could you expect from it, other than the wars that exist and complete moral deterioration?
I taught you to give to Caesar those things that are of Caesar and to God those things that are of God. But only Caesar exists for men of today; they offer nothing to their Lord. If, at the very least, you would offer to the world what is just and good, your sorrows would be lessened. However, the Caesar that guides your lives dictates foolish laws, converting you into slaves and depriving you of your lives without offering you anything in return.
When man falls into materialism, his deeds become destructive rather than creative. He becomes similar to a multitude of worms eating away at a corpse instead of, through his creative labor, being able to resemble bees constructing their honeycomb in perfect harmony. The work of the bees consists of making honey in order to later offer its sweetness to those who desire it. And you: When will you discover the true flavor of life and practice it with one another?
I speak to you in this manner because, more than anyone, I know the evolution of your spirit. I know that humanity, in spite of its great materialism, its love for wordly possessions and its sinful passions, lives, in appearances only, attached to the flesh and the material life. When its spirit begins to feel the tenderness of my love, it will quickly come to me to remove its burden and will follow me through the path of truth. This is the path for which humanity yearns, although it does not realize it.
Since the beginning of times, I have seen man take the life of another because of envy, materialism and ambition of power.
Love for the world, greediness for material things, lust for the flesh, the pleasure of all lowly desires, egotism, love for oneself, and pride, have been the force with which you have created a life according to your intelligence and human free will.
Behold humanity falling into vices, perversity and crime. Behold men dedicating themselves to a life of materialism and selfishness. Women have become familiar with sin that prevails everywhere, thus losing the virtue and delicacy. The home, man´s temple, is profaned because of its lack or warmth, light and peace.
The pleasure and satisfactions that man receives from his deeds is artificial. Hidden behind his smiling mask, he bears within his heart the pain, the anxiety and the disillusionment.
It is useless for man to seek total satisfaction only in materialism. Everything is sad and empty.
Are you aware of your firm hold to the pleasures and splendor of this world? But the moment will come when you will ardently desire to absent yourself from it.
Merciful Veil of Oblivion – Why can’t we remember past lives
|
“Who knows what he sowed in past eras? Who knows of his deeds in past lives?”
“Your spirit has lived long, but your flesh does not know it. If your body has forgotten the first years of your infancy, how can it recognize the evolution of your spirit along the lengthy journey?”
“What do you know about your past, and how far back is your origin? What do you know about where you came from, where have you been, and where are you heading?”
“I hold in My hands the book of your past existences, in which there are truly many blemishes, but there are also clean pages of your future life and of your transformation. I see it all and I know it all.”
“I conceal from you that book of your past, for if you were to contemplate its pages, you would weep of sorrow and sicken with sadness. And in many, the bitterness and horror would be of such magnitude that they would consider themselves unworthy of forgiveness and redemption.”
“Think upon how many times, in this life that you now have, there have been days when you have prayed at dusk to forget all about what you went through since daybreak. Imagine of the heavy burden that men would have to carry if they were to remember each and every one of their past wrongdoings, mistakes and even crimes of all their past existences. It is my divine compassion the one that protects you with the merciful veil of oblivion.” |
Why Men Don’t Remember Their Past Lives
A great spiritual teaching is required so that man can walk in accordance with the voice of his conscience, because the flesh, surrounding him in the world, in spite of everything being saturated with Divine love, wisely devised for the good and the happiness of man, constitutes a test for the spirit, from the instant he comes to inhabit a world to which he does not belong, united to a body whose nature is different than his own.
There you will find the reason why the spirit forgets his past.
From the instant he incarnates in an unconscious newborn body, and merges with it, he begins a life with that being. In the spirit, only two attributes remain present: the conscience and intuition, but the personality, the deeds performed, and the past, remains temporarily concealed. That is how it has been disposed by the Father.
What would become of the spirit who has come from the light of an elevated realm to dwell among the miseries of this world, if he were to remember his past? And how much vanity would be among men on being revealed to them the greatness that, in another life, existed in their spirit!
It is necessary for you to know that the spirit, before incarnating, has had a vast preparation, since he is to remain subjected to a long and sometimes arduous test. However, thanks to that preparation, he is not disturbed on penetrating into this life. He closes his eyes to the past, in order to open them to a new existence, and in that manner, from the first instant, he adapts himself to the world to which he has arrived.
During this period, I do not come to reveal to man the past of his spirit, but to assure him that his spirit has lived; that he has come to carry out an elevated mission to Earth, and that he must return to his mansion, not only without any blemish, not even with the same light he brought, but rather with a greater light.
The time will come when the human heart and mind, purified and tested in spirituality, will be able to receive, through intuition, the voice of their own spirit, when they will know how to receive with clarity and purity all the revelations that the spirit will transmit to the flesh.
At this time you still cannot contemplate the past of your spirit through your human life; nevertheless, the Father comes to say to you: How very long has your journey been! How very much has your spirit struggled to hold himself up along the way! How very much has he been hurt by the thorns of life and how many stretches along your path have been marked by the blood of your footsteps!
Your spiritual past is unknown to your physical body. I leave it imprinted in your spirit, so that it will be like an open book and be revealed to you by your conscience and your intuition. That is My justice, that before sentencing you, I give you the opportunity to correct your fault or mend your error. If the past was erased from your spirit, you would have to again retrace the roads traveled yesterday and hasten past ordeals again; but if you heed the voice of your experience and allow yourselves to be illuminated by that light, you will behold your pathway clearer and the horizon more brilliant.
Truly I say to you, that there is not a single spirit among humanity who has not known all the enjoyments and eaten all fruits. Today your spirit came to enjoy the liberty to love Me and not be a slave of the world again, or of the gold, or of lewdness or the idolatry.
I, the Master, come to inspire you with the memories of your spiritual past that your heart does not know because they pertain to the spirit, when he lived his true existence, when your dwelling was elsewhere, and you had not as yet dwelled in this body you now have, which is a crucible, adversary, and a lesson for the spirit.
I bring you memories of the spiritual life, hidden behind the veil of your materiality, to tell you that that life waits for you again, so that you may come and enjoy it fully after your pilgrimage, your experience, and your evolution.
When you have returned to the infinite realm and feel the joy of dwelling in it, you will not tire of blessing this world of tears, where you came to learn and appreciate the happiness, the peace, the light.
You already have the certainty in this period, that you have come to dwell on Earth in multiple occasions, because you believe in the reincarnation of the spirit. But this revelation, as I have delivered it to you, will shake the world; it will cause a revolution among Mankind, and because of it, they will understand the explanation of many mysteries and the fortitude for their spirit, because it is a law of love, and My light is within it.
You still do not know, Oh beloved people, how many times you have come to dwell on Earth through different physical bodies; and even when the flesh scrutinizes itself and interrogates its own spirit, you are unable to contemplate your past, your previous lives, because I, as the Father, have prohibited this knowledge. I have not allowed your spirit to uncover its previous lives through this human existence, this being still a prohibition by the Holy Spirit who is among you.
However, you are preparing the future generations, those who will come possessing spirits of great spiritual elevation, and who are still inhabiting in the Hereafter, where they are purifying and elevating themselves to come to this planet. To them will be given, by the Holy Spirit, the faculty of recalling their previous lives, to learn of their past, because that will be beneficial to their own spirit.
If I have not granted it to you, it is because I still find weakness in your spirit, and even more in the flesh, and I comprehend that you would be unnerved contemplating your past. He who has sinned much and offended his Father, would not have the strength to resist the repentance and the outcry of his conscience; and he who had been great would be filled with vanity; he who had been unimportant, would feel humiliated, and in his heart would be born a yearning for vengeance. It is for that reason that your Father, who is perfect wisdom, has not yet wanted to reveal through your material body, the past of your spirit.
That grace is reserved for the future generations; to those whose knowledge of the past will not cause any harm, and you will be, for them, like an open book before their eyes. Those spirits will be the revealers of many mysteries; those who will come to clarify the life of the spirit through their own material lives; those who will speak to this world of other worlds and of that long journey which is the spiritual path.
Prepare yourselves, My people, so that you may pass on that heritage to those who are to emerge from you, and so that this grace can exist in your descendants, so that the bodies that you engender and conceive, may be obedient instruments toward the spirits of the future generations, because I am now preparing, through you yourselves, a new world for this Humanity. You are the seed which I am cultivating during this period, and irrigating it with the clear waters of My teachings.
Ordeals and Suffering. Pain and sorrow as spirit’s teachers
To you who live tormented by the ordeals, the struggles, by doubts and uncertainties, by sadness and grief: pacify your heart and clear your mind so you can comprehend what I am about to tell you, young novices in life. When you feel the pain penetrate in your heart again, isolate yourselves a few moments from all that surrounds you and seclude yourselves. There, in the intimacy of your home, converse with your spirit; take hold of your ordeal and examine it, as you would do with some object you took in your hand to study. Examine your sorrow the same way, figure out from where it originates, and why it came about. Listen to the voice or your conscience and truly I say to you that from that meditation, you will extract a treasure of enlightnment and peace for your heart.
This life is a continuos ordeal for man, all the way from from his birth until he ceases to exist.
I admonish you, thus so that you may not become confused when you see wars unleashed and a multitude of beings dying day after day in differents accidents right before your eyes. When you cannot find the reason for those trials that make your heart quiver, keep in mind that each spirit has come to Earth to restore for himself what he had previously refused, and that there are beings so letargic that only a trial like that could awaken them.
You are like the shrubs that at times have such dry and sickly branches, that they need the painful pruning in order to turn away your ills and allow you to recover your health. My justice of love, on plucking away from the human tree the infested branches that eat away at heart, elevates it. When a limb of a man´s body is about to be cut off, he groans, trembles and quails, even when he knows that is must be done to remove what ails him. That which is dead threatens what is still able to survive. The roses also suffer at the time of pruning, they pour their sap like tears of pain; but later, they will be covered with more beautiful flowers.
Today many revile suffering, but tomorrow they will bless it as a teacher who taught them elevated and beautiful lessons.
I wish it were always the love of the Master that would show you the way and the finality of life, but you have preferred that the pain do the teaching.
From that bitter teacher you will pass on to receive lessons from Him who teaches you with sweetness.
The ordeals come in such a subtle way that many times you are not even aware when they terminate. What would happen to you if I were to announce the date, the day, and the hour, so that you will wait for them?
Today you are still covered by a veil of ignorance, which in your earthly materialism and in your religious fanaticism, filled with false fears and prejudices, you have not dared to tear down. That is why when a trial comes into your life and you cannot find some clear cause, you cry out saying: “But, what have I done to deserve this punishment?” without being aware that My justice sometimes takes centuries, and even eras to reach a spirit. My justice always comes, and even though apparently it arrives late or out of time, the fact is that is that it always manifests itself in a wise manner. To those who have stopped to ask Me why is it that you have been tested, I say to you: By chance are you aware of your debt to me? Do you know how must I cleanse your spirit so that he will return to Me as pure as he emerged from Me? That is why I say to you: Merely accept with patience and preparation the trials that I send to you each day, for My strength is always with you.
Not always will it be necessary for you to drink to the depths of the chalice of bitterness, because it will be enough for Me to observe your faith, your obedience, your purpose and intention in obeying My mandate for me to absolve you from reaching the hardest moment of your ordeal.
Man is the one who sets up barriers against his own spiritual progress. God does not punish, nor is he an executioner. God is Powerful, and is Strength, Light, Life and Love. Since God is wisdom, understanding, and universal peace, how can you believe that loving you as He does and having endowed man with so many blessings and Divine gifts, and preparing him for an eternal spiritual life, He would punish him?
You attribute to My justice all your suffering, and you are not aware that you are responsible for your downfalls.
There are trials that My justice send to you, but you are sowing the majority of them with your weakness; however in both cases, My love fortifies and asists so that you may continue until the end of the road.
There are no ordeals that are useless. All have a purpose, which is to perfect your spirit.
The big trials are always for the greater spirits, that is why, when you see a whirlwind coming towards you threatening to destroy your tranquility, do not fear, go forth to meet it; conquer it with the power that I have given you. Wait for the time needed and do not weaken in your struggle, do not try to conjure it away at the moment it appears before you. Remain praying and watchful, I am not speaking of Nature´s elements but those that can be a useful crucible to the spirit, and when used advantageously, will aid him to ascend and discover new paths before him. That will make him understand and awaken feelings which have remained dormant and that for him were necessary to help him evolve.
Man alone is incapable of accepting My word and modify his customs, tendencies, ambitions and ideals. That is why I have permited pain to touch him for a time. But when their cup becomes more and more bitter, and they recognize their error before the judge of the conscience, they will invoke My name and they will seek Me.
When the affliction becomes very intense, then man, however indifferent and cold he has become toward My doctrine, he remembers God. He turns his eyes towards Me, in search for My charity, and in his despair he elevates this prayer: “Lord, why do you not grant me that which I ask for you so much? If you do not heed my plea, then shorten my days on Earth, since there is no object in my being here only to suffer”. What ignorance you display speaking in that manner to your Father who is all love towards his children!
You may be certain that those who suffer the most during this time, is because before that, they drank to their depths their cup of pleasures, satisfactions and the glory of the world, and with that they strayed from his spiritual path, and left.
If you wish to dwelve more profoundly into the reason for your ordeals, remember that you are in the period of restitution of all your past faults. When you finally have faith in what I am explaining to you, a pleasing conformity, an infinite peace will invade your being, pondering that I am the only One who knows your past, and can judge it with love.
Man suffers in this times because he has departed from his fulfillment of the Divine Laws, both spiritual and natural, and he seeks the remedy in what is ficticious in this world. He is not aware that the origin of his malady is within his spirit.
Ah! If you would understand the affliction that touches the body is balsam and a relief for the spirit! Because while the flesh maintained its good health and well-being, many times the spirit was dragged toward the depths, or felt imprisoned within a life filled with pleasures and unleashed passions, but void of light for the spirit. Finally the suffering came, like a force more powerful than human passions, to stop man in his blind course, allowing the spirit to become liberated, blessing his affliction and recognizing that there exists no wiser justice than God´s.
Some reach this understanding sooner, thus avoiding much suffering. Others are obstinate and tardy to understand to the point of complaining and blaspheming, thus increasing with that their cup of bitterness.
You ask Me if there is nothing I can do for you? Ah! My little ones! Before you ask Me, I have deposited all that you need upon your hand! But being occupied in the struggle and carrying on without light or faith, you do not know how to feel My presence nor discern what I entrusted to your spirit, nor the light of the next day which only waits for your awakening so that you can see its brilliance at its plenitude.
I am the God of hope and the provider of all the licit desires of My children. When suffering penetrates within you allow it to fulfill its mission, but think that in order to ascend the ladder of perfection, of spiritual evolution, you should not be satisfied just being strong and resigned to your ordeals and to your suffering. You must likewise think about the afflictions of your fellowmen.
Be aware that I do not limit Myself to feel your afflictions but instead, I come to remedy them but in addition to knowing this, it is necessary for you to love and have faith in my Law; that you know how to ask, pray and have patience in your ordeals.
Certainly I test you, touch you and judge you, but at the same time I nourish you, forgive you and uplift you. Never will a spirit part defrauded from My presence, injustice has no place within Me.
The trials you encounter along your way have not come to you by chance. I have sent them to you in order for you to earn merits. The leaf of the tree moves not without the will of the Father. Be vigilant and pray so you will understand what is the fruit you should gather from each ordeal, so that your expiation may be shortened. Pick up your cross with love, and I will make it possible that you bear your restitution with patience.
Original Sin
Original sin
Contrary to popular belief, original sin is not a divine doctrine as Christian religions teach, but a human theory instead.
As scandalous as it may sound to many good-hearted people nurtured with the belief that such idea comes from divine source, truth is that there is no word in the Bible to support that.
Modern Christians sincerely think and believe these theories come from the Bible, since many priests, theologians and preachers use to teach them as divine doctrines directly taken from the Bible, while they try to give them appearance of credibility by quoting a couple of versicles, completely out of context.
Nevertheless, these theories are not biblical doctrines and Jesus’ first followers never knew about them. Jesus himself never mentioned a word about it. They simply do not exist in the Gospels.
The theory of original sin, or at least part of it, was initially sustained by Augustine, Hypo’s bishop, in two books written against Pelagius and Celestius, as late as year 418 of the Christian era.
Later three different versions of this doctrine emerged, each one rejecting as false all the others, denying them any validity. But basic principle in all of them were that humankind, starting on Adam and Eve, has a depraved nature, and all of us, as their descendants, come to birth within a sin.
Sex, Original sin?
For some strange reason, people’s imagery (and many ancient Bible “scholars”, among all) detract the real reason of the so called “original sin” or “fall of man”, to drove it away from disobedience to divine commands and into something more material and mundane: sex.
Without noticing such profanation so far, many people still attibute to pleasures of the flesh the fall of human race.
That’s completely wrong. A careful reading on the parable about the Garden of Eden and the human gender’s fall from grace –found in chapters 2 and 3 of the Bible, reveals something quite important: during all that time, both Adam and his female companion were virgins!
They knew nothing about sex until chapter 4, when Adam “knew” (Bible euphemism for intercourse) with the woman, and it was not until after that very moment that she is mentioned as Eve (mother, in ancient Hebrew).
Yes, indeed. Since her creation up to the ousting from Eden, she is simply called “woman”. Therefore, is not accurate to state that God created Adam… and Eve. The only name called is Adam, not a name given to someone in particular, for it means “man”, but to the human race as a whole. In chapter 5 of Genesis (1,2), the same concept is reaffirmed.
The Scriptures
The “original sin” idea is not based on the Scriptures. If you take your Bible and read not only prophet Ezekiel but the book of Deuteronomy as well, you’ll find the opposite: Each man (remember, “man” here refers both to the human male and female) is responsible for his acts, so there is no original sin transferred from generation to generation.
Deuteronomy 24:16 says:
“The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, neither shall the children be put to death for the fathers; every man shall be put to death for his own sin.”
At Ezekiel 18:20 you can read:
“…The son shall note bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him.”
In 2 Kings 14:6 and Jeremiah 31:30 you will find also that a person will not suffer because an ancestor’s wrongdoing. The evidence against the original sin is overwhelming.
Furthermore, the fact that man is created in the image of God, is clearly shown in the Scriptures, not only in chapter 1 of Genesis but in chapter 5, after the ousting. If man (understood as human race) is created in the image and likeness of God, how can he or she be born depraved, due to his or her own nature?
Divine teachings of the Third Time clearly explain this:
“Original sin comes not from the mating of man and woman. I, the Creator, established such union by saying both of them: Grow and multiply. That was the first Law. Sin resides in the abuse of free-will gift”.
“You know that God said to men: Grow and be fruitful and fill the earth. Such was the primary law given to you, oh people. Later on, the Father did not ask men just to multiply so the species keep growing, but to rise their feelings so their spirits start an open growth and development”.
“But if the first law was to spread the human race, how can you imagine the Father Himself would punish you for obeying and accomplish His command? Is it possible, people, that in your God can exist such contradiction?”
“Behold how material interpretation men gave to a parable that speaks only about the awakening of the spirit in man. Therefore, do analyse my teaching and do not ever say that you are paying a debt the first settlers acquired due to their disobedience with your Father. Do have a higher conception of divine justice”.
“For I have said that up to the last stain shall be cleaned from man’s heart, I also say that each one shall wash his own stains”.
Paranormal experiences: Spiritual Gifts or just mind games?
How beautiful your world will be when men discover in their spirit, the blessed treasure with which the Creator endowed them with at the precise moment of his formation.
My messages will give way to discussions. Some declaring that it is a truth, others trying to prove it false. Some giving testimony of their own spiritual experiences and others denying the existence of such manifestations. But the truth will prevail, because this is the Era in which the dormant gifts and faculties within the spirit will be freed and manifest themselves through man, because in this Era he has reached the evolution and the necessary sensitivity to communicate with the spiritual realm.
Children, even old people, and through youths, all shall have manifestations that in the beginning might seem strange because for a long time mankind has departed away from the spiritual, but they will later consider this to be absolutely natural in the superior life of man. This will be when the children will talk of very profound teachings; when men and woman will have spiritual visions and prophetic dreams and when the gift of healing will spread throughout the Earth.
In the same manner as in other times, man’s life has been divided into eras or ages, and each one has been distinguished in some way. It may be for its discoveries, for the Divine revelations that within that life that man has received for his development in the sense of beauty which you call art, or for its science, I say to you that this Era will be significant for the development of the gifts of the spirit, that part of your being which you should have begun cultivating to avoid so many evils and mistakes.
I have come to reveal to you the spiritual gifts that you possess and to teach you the use you must give them, so that you will never employ them for deeds that are not within My Law, because if you do, instead of imparting light you would sow darkness and confusion.
You have within yourselves the gifts of spiritual visions, prophetic dreams, inspiration, intuition, gift of speech, revelation and spiritual communication.
Could you tell me the shape or volume of the conscience? Could you tell me what form love or the intelligence has? No, you respond. Well, in the same way that conscience, intelligence and love have no form, you cannot compare the worldly things with those of the spiritual life. Nevertheless, there is nothing more beautiful than the attributes of the spirit, which is the whole of gifts and virtues that do not require a given shape in order to exist.
From generation to generation the gifts of the spirit will be manifested greater and clearer, emerging even from the most skeptical and incredulous.
Past lives: Reincarnation Explained
…Since the beginning of mankind, the reincarnation of the spirit exists as a law of love and justice, and as one of the ways through which the Father has shown His infinite clemency … |
This is the Time of Light
Reincarnation is not only of this period, but for all eras; and do not think that it is only now that this mystery has been revealed to you. Ever since the first eras, there existed in man the intuition of the reincarnation of the spirit.
The Doctrine of the Holy Spirit, which is true Spiritualism in this Era, comes to clarify the mystery of the law of reincarnation of the spirits; law of justice and of love, clearly explaining the why of its existence, the why of its justice; a law that could not be lacking among the divine laws, because if this were so, the Divine Spirit would cease to be perfect and just.
The Lord did not reveal this law amply in past times because the evolution of your spirit did not allow it. It was not yet the time for those things to be revealed; nevertheless, there were some signs of it in past times.
And the spirit of man had, since the first eras, a deep, intimate intuition that the incarnation of the spirit existed.
In how many spirits, ever since the first periods of Humanity, harbored the idea of returning to this Earth after death! Some, for not being satisfied with their experiences in life; others, because they had left undone a chore to which they had dedicated all their life and their effort; and for that, the spirit felt the need, the immense desire to return, to revive, to reincarnate and finish the work they had begun.
Thus, many spirits harbored an intuition that the law existed.
When you dwell in the flesh, your spirit comes to purify blemishes of past lives, and it becomes necessary to reveal all this, so that you may bear your suffering on Earth with patience.
Ancient Debts
There is an ancient debt that you have contracted with your Father, and with your brethren of the different nations of the earth. Who knows what he sowed in past eras? Who knows of his deeds in past lives?
Each time a spirit comes to Earth to incarnate, he brings a knowledge of past lives, and the light he receives in the Spiritual Realm is experience; it is a beacon that illuminates his path of evolution.
The knowledge of life is the true science; it is the eternal light of the spirit, and all that accumulated experience is science you are acquiring.
In the end, the only treasure preserved by the spirit, will be the knowledge acquired in the struggle. That is why I say to you, that light, which is your inheritance, you should not squander in superfluous deeds, only in what is good, elevated, and noble. An example of what I am saying you can find in the money of the world which, when it is well applied, is a blessing and, on the other hand, when it is squandered, brings only headaches.
The world will learn the truth about the resurrection of the flesh, which is the reincarnation of the spirit.
To reincarnate: Return to the material world to be born anew; the spirit to emerge within a human body to continue a mission. That is the truth about the resurrection of the flesh which your elders have spoken to you about, giving it such distorted as well as absurd interpretations.
The reincarnation is a gift which God has granted your spirit, so that he can never be limited to the smallness of the flesh, and to its fleeting existence on Earth with its natural weaknesses, but rather, coming from a superior nature, the spirit can take on as many physical bodies as he will need for the fulfillment of his great missions in the world.
Through this gift, the spirit demonstrates his immense superiority over the flesh, over death, and over everything terrestrial, surviving a body, then another and as many as will be entrusted to him; conqueror of time, of difficulties, and of temptations.
Life as a Open Book
I have prepared life itself so that it may be for you like an open book of elevated wisdom; the number of its pages is countless; its contents are profound and one life is not enough to be able to know it totally and even less to comprehend it. Its volume is big; it has been written by the Perfect Being, by the Author of Life and all Creation; but that book, filled by so much wisdom, is written with simplicity, with clarity, as are all the works of God.
The first lesson – in other words, the first page – is the most simple, but if it is not understood despite its simplicity, the second comes to explain the contents of the first and so on, up to the end of this great Book of the Life, which I have placed before man, opened to its sixth chapter, so that he knows the Father and comes to learn about his life and his destiny; that he understands his past, his present and, to the extent of My Will, his future.
