Compendium of the Teachings of the Divine Revelations
contained in the twelve volumes of the “Book of True Life,” in
which, according to His own words, our Lord brought us:
THE THIRD TESTAMENT
“My Word, My lecture today, in appearance is only for you,
but in truth, I say that it is for everyone, because its wisdom
and love embraces the whole Universe; unifies all the worlds
and all the incarnated and disincarnated spirits. Come near if
you need Me; seek Me if you feel lost.”
(Chapter 63, 30)
*
“Do you believe that all I have told you would be only for
those who have heard Me? No, beloved People, with My Word
I am speaking to those present and to those who are absent; for
today, tomorrow, and always; for those who have died, for
those who live, and for those who have yet to be born.”
(Chapter 7, 13)
Observance of the Lord:
“… with this Book which Humanity will come to recognize as The Third
Testament, you will defend My Divine Cause. Humanity recognizes only
the Law of the First Era and what is written in the First and Second
Testaments, but the Third Era shall come to unify and correct that which
men have altered for lack of spiritual preparation and understanding.”
Chapter 6, 9-10
“My Word will remain written for all time; with it you will form the book
of the Third Era, The Third Testament, the final message from the Father;
for in the Three Eras, God wielded His "Golden Scribes" to leave His
wisdom to Humanity.” Chapter 6, 37
“Form a book of My Word. Extract from it the essence, so that you may
have a true concept of the purity of My Doctrine. In the word transmitted by
the spokesmen, you may find errors, but not in its essence. My interpreters
have not always been spiritually prepared; for that reason I have told you not
to see their words superficially, but rather to penetrate in their meaning to
find their perfection. Pray and meditate so that you may understand them.”
Chapter 59, 2-3
“… and I want you to form volumes of this Word that I have given you, in
fulfillment of My prophecies; afterward you will make extracts and analysis
of it, and make it known to your brethren.” Chapter 59, 1

The contents of the verses of this book were chosen from the 12-volume
work called The Book of True Life, and have been ordered by themes,
resulting in a compendium that uses the original wording, but which offers
the reader an introduction of more manageable size to this Divine work.
The twelve volumes are made up of a total of 366 chronologically
numbered “Teachings”.
Although this book is arranged by topics, the Teachings are subdivided by
verse numbers to facilitate their identification and for easy comparison
between translations made to other languages. However, they are also
identified, either singly, or at the end of a block of verses taken whole from
the twelve volumes of The Book of True Life, by the original Teaching and
Volume numbers for those, who wish to expand their knowledge of the
work, or who wish to check the full context for citations they find to be of
special interest.
For example, a numerical citation such as: (356, 4-5) means: Teaching 356,
verses four and five, of the original. Below, is a small table showing the
Teaching numbers contained in each of the twelve volumes:
Volume 1 1 - 28 Volume 7 175 - 207
Volume 2 29 - 54 Volume 8 208 - 241
Volume 3 55 - 82 Volume 9 242 - 276
Volume 4 83 - 110 Volume 10 277 - 309
Volume 5 111 - 142 Volume 11 310 - 338

Prologue
The present book contains a selected summary of verbatim quotes from the
12 volumes of the Divine Manifestations published in Mexico between 1956
and 1962 under the title, Libro de La Vida Verdadera, or "The Book of the
True Life"*. In these Doctrines, or Teachings, declared by Him as His
"Third Testament", God revealed himself as Creator, Judge, and Father; and
Christ as His Word and the Divine Master** of the Wisdom of God, in the
Unity of The Holy Spirit with Him, declaring these revelations to be the
fulfillment of his promise to return to humanity, of his Second Coming.
It was not an easy task to find and select, from among the extensive texts of
the Teachings, those which would, in an extracted work, be the most
appropriate and necessary in content and language for each topic, and in
what one hopes to be as complete a representation as possible. Additionally,
at times it became evident that in working with a given message contained in
some one verse of the original, that it was necessary to include various
connected analogous verses. In other parts of the text it was seen as
necessary to include only a portion of a longer original verse that contained
various different themes.
The current compendium, divided thematically, attempts to serve the
interested reader, and all those persons who find themselves searching for
understanding and truth, to form for themselves an integral vision of what
the Divine Spirit has revealed throughout the numerous Manifestations
*
When the Lord mentions “The Book of Life”, or simply, “My Book”, He does not
refer to any printed work such as the present volume, but rather to all the doctrine and
teachings of this, The Third Era, which were given to mankind in Mexico, from the first
lessons in 1884, to the last teachings in 1950. Those teachings, or “book,” represent His
Third Testament as He tells us several times.
**
The original Spanish uses the word Maestro. In spite of the unfortunate connotations
of the word due to its misuse in earlier American history, it was decided to translate this
term as “Master,” following the example of the New Testament in English, which
consistently uses that term in referring to Jesus Christ.
Both as translated from the original Aramaic or Greek of the New Testament, and
from the original Spanish of this, the Third Testament, the term might better be rendered
as “Teacher,” and the reader might be advised to read the word with that meaning in
mind.
18
given in Mexico prior to the year 1950; that is to say, in the years between
1884 and 1950, as the new Message and Teaching for mankind. But, above
all, it has as its mission to facilitate and promote the exhaustive study and
immersion in the Teachings of the Spirit, of the new Spiritual Word of God.
Thanks to the methodical arrangement of the themes, it is possible, using
the index, to quickly find any of the themes and the exact text which in a
given moment are of interest to the reader, or which is needed in a
discussion with a person with differing opinions, or to present them for
comparison to our spiritual brothers and sisters.
The task of the elaboration of this compendium, and the authorization to do
it in this way and under this title, was given by Christ himself in his new
Word. The individual chapters of the book deal with one theme at a time
(with exception of chapters 61 - 63) and are comprehensible even for those
who have not read the preceding chapters. Nonetheless, for a complete
understanding of the Spiritual Doctrine, a systematic study of the work from
the first to the last chapter is recommended.
Special attention should also be given as well to the Teachings (twelve
volumes) from the publications of El Libro de la Vida Verdadera, or "The
Book of the True Life". By means of these works, the interested reader or
believer may obtain an integral vision of how the Divine Manifestations
were given, and through their reading, as well as that of this "Third
Testament", experience a deep happiness and enlightenment of the spirit and
of the heart. May this be offered to all men of good will.

Introduction
Irrespective of the confession or faith professed, the majority of Christians
will consider the title of this work, „The Third Testament” as presumptuous,
since with it, this work of recent revelation is placed upon an equal footing
with the Old and New Testaments of the Bible as known to them, and
which, regarded as Sacred Scripture and the foundation of their faith, they
consider to be completed, and not subject to any continuation or
amplification whatsoever.
Nonetheless, the true scholar of the Bible will know that this traditional
position has no basis in the classic teachings of Jesus as transmitted to us
through the Gospels of the New Testament. Quite the contrary. In His last
preachings before departing, Jesus on numerous occasions referred to His
Second Coming, and in that regard He made allusion to „The Spirit of
Truth,” to „The Comforting Spirit,” and to the „Holy Spirit,” which would
later „introduce you to the truth.” (John 14, 26)
This introduction offers the believing Christian, and to all other interested
readers of this book, a truthful understanding of its creation, in what way,
and under what exterior circumstances the promise of Jesus concerning his
Second Coming has been made real, since, in spite of the affirmations on
that subject which are found in the contents of the revelations themselves,
unanswered questions may remain and might engender doubts or false
conjectures. This introduction tries, therefore, to facilitate the understanding
of that which The Holy Spirit, in a new revelation, has bequeathed to
mankind in his Third Testament.
As each reader of this new Word of God can prove to himself, it irradiates
full authority, wisdom, and love. It is the fulfillment of the promise of Jesus
to return, „in a cloud” (Luke 21:27), which, expressed in the symbolic
language of the Spirit, means: in spiritual form. It is therefore that this Third
Testament of God, as a thematically ordered summary of the Divine
revelations made in Mexico, constitutes a true witness to The Second
Coming of Christ „in The Spirit;” it is his message and current teaching for
humanity, in the form of a compendium, selected from the original 12
volumes of His teachings.
20
This word is intended to be for man a guiding aid, and lead him to a better
and more complete understanding of God, of himself, and of the meaning of
his existence in this world; and of the events which occur in his personal
life, as well as the happenings and transformations which necessarily
accompany the beginning of the „Era of the Holy Spirit.”
It is to this time that the medieval bishop, Joaquin de Fiore, and various
others who succeeded him referred. It is the coming Reign of the Peace of
Christ on earth, which from the time of the Prophets has been promised to
mankind.
With the second spiritual coming of Christ in His Word, this Era of the
Spirit and of Spirituality for mankind has already begun, and Christ, with his
new message of love, has shown us the way that leads us to it.
Contrary to all the expectations of Christians, the principal event of the
Second Coming of Christ waits not in the future, but has already occurred.
In the period of time between 1866 and 1950, it was fulfilled in silence,
unseen and unknown to „the greater world” and the Christians. Not in the
center of western Christianity, in Rome, nor in the center of the Orthodox
faith, Mount Athos, not even, as was expected by many, in ancient Judeo -
Christian Jerusalem, or in any of the theological or philosophical centers of
Protestantism, but in a country of the so called Third World – in Mexico.
And even there, not in the midst of the pomp and circumstance of the
dominant Catholic Church, but in the impoverished and insignificant
environment of the simple, humble people of the marginal zones around the
City of Mexico, from where it irradiated, spreading around the country. Who
would have expected it?
The return of Christ was made real in the form of revelations received
spiritually in a state of ecstasy by persons chosen by Him and among these
humble people.
In the last years before 1950, a considerable part of these revelations were
recorded in shorthand, edited, and later published in twelve volumes under
the title of „Libro de la Vida Verdadera” or „The Book of the True Life.”
And during these last years, all of the prior teachings were reiterated in an
augmented and more profound form. The present book contains a selection
of texts from that work, as they apply to some of the themes addressed by it.
21
All of the teachings of Christ, as well as the subjects dealt with, were
intended by the Lord, to be his „Third Testament” for mankind. It is hoped
that with this introduction, the authenticity of this transcendental
manifestation is clarified for the reader.
The choice of Mexico as the Land destined for the second coming of Christ
in the Spirit, according to the words of the Lord, was due to the indigenous
ancestors of the current inhabitants having been martyred and
„christianized” by force in his name, by the Spanish conquistadors. For the
other part, these peoples and their current descendants, having been subdued
and humbled, have developed a spirit of brotherliness, solidarity, humility
and tolerance deeper than that of other peoples of the earth. And so it is that
many more mature spirits of the ancient and chosen „people of Israel” have
been born in current times in the bosom of the Mexican people*, being made
witnesses of the fulfillment of the promises made to „Spiritual Israel.”
Neither did the birth of Jesus, the first coming of Christ to the world, occur
in the centers of power of Rome and Greece, nor even in the Jewish cultural
center of Jerusalem, but in the backcountry, in humble circumstances, so
that the home and upbringing of Jesus was that of Galilee, much deprecated
by the Jews of Jerusalem. The scholars of that time, full of a sense of
superiority, expressed themselves on the subject as follows: „Can there any
good thing come out of Nazareth?”
The theologians of today should not make the same mistake, in thinking
about an unpretentious part of the world from an attitude of superiority:
„Can anything good and important come out of Mexico?”
What evidence points toward the spiritual revelations coming from being
genuinely of Divine origin? Above all, the revelations themselves, which are
unequivocally imbued with the Spirit and creed of Christ, and the love and
mercy of the Heavenly Father. What human heart can remain untouched by
them? Then too, the wisdom and profundity of the reflections, revelations,
warnings, and teachings constitute an eloquent testimony that points to the
Creator. What false spirit with twisted intentions could attempt even to
simulate them? And what would they consist of, since these teachings can
only be useful to the exaltation, development, and the ennobling of the
human race?
22
Also supporting the authenticity of these revelations as the New Word of
God, is the fact that they came through so many different persons and in so
many different places; and yet, in spite of this disparate origin maintain a
unity of spirit and character, clearly pointing toward one single essence and
one single source of revelation. What dark force would be able to organize a
seductive illusory game like that over the course of decades and around a
whole country, only to mock God? That idea is simply not viable, and God,
as loving Father to his human children and Supreme Conductor of earthly
events, would never allow it to happen.
Another weighty factor supporting the authenticity of these revelations as a
witness to the spiritual return of Christ in the Word, is the agreement
between the promises of Jesus concerning his return, and the „signs” which
would point toward it; and the events in Mexico during a time in which the
world experienced tumultuous and changing events, including two world
wars.
Referring to the region of the American continent, and therefore to Mexico,
in the 19th Century a significant testimony to the spiritual return of Christ
was given by the so called „Scribe of God,” Jacob Lorber, in Austria. In an
excerpt from his portentous work of revelation, Christ speaks of his spiritual
return as occurring in a nation beyond the great ocean, that is to say, the
Atlantic. For those persons who, through Lorber, believe in these
revelations, is this not motive enough to ask oneself if this prophecy has not
already been fulfilled, and for investigating whether if, in one of these
countries of the American Continent, anything has happened to redeem this
promise and justify it. The determining factor for judgment should not,
however, be only the Divine wealth revealed, but above all, the love and
wisdom which His teaching transmits to us.
Such an event has certainly occurred, and it had its beginnings in the first
years of the 1860s. A simple townsman, named Roque Rojas, on the 23 of
June, 1861, had the first experience of his calling from the archangel
Gabriel, as well as a vision in which his mission as Elijah, as an earthly
precursor of the Lord was announced. When after a new and more powerful
vision He became convinced of the authenticity of the Divine calling, He
began telling others of the messages and visions that He received in a state
of ecstasy, and gradually, through the power of his conviction and
credibility, a community of believers congregated around him. Through the
23
gift of spiritual healing which manifested itself, He became very well known
in the times that followed, and was greatly esteemed by all who came to him
in search of help and counseling.
He founded a first meeting place, where on the first day of September of
1866, Elijah spoke through him for the first time, being consecrated in the
place seven men and women, to symbolize the Seven Seals of the respective
Eras of the Sacred History, as the leaders of the communities which were to
be created. When during Holy Week of 1869, the participants in a gathering
did not show the reverence and devotion that Roque Rojas expected of them,
a holy fury overcame him, and He destroyed the Divine revelations that had
been received through Elijah up until that time. He declared the meeting
place closed, putting a premature end to his charitable work. But the good
seed that He had sown germinated and flowered in other places, and years
later, in 1884, in one of the communities of the Seven Seals, for the first
time the Lord himself spoke through Damiana Oviedo, a speaker (or
spokeswoman)* who had remained faithful to his calling. From that time
forward, the Divine revelations continued uninterrupted for the space of
generations, until the end of the year 1950. The number of communities and
believers grew steadily during that time, and in such a way that this
Christian Spiritualist Movement, designated by Christ as his Spiritual Work,
finally included several hundred communities and many hundreds of
thousands of believers around the country.
The believers gathered regularly on Sunday mornings in their austere
community halls or even in private homes, and in all those places where one
or more spokesmen for the Word were found, the Divine Spirit manifested
Himself according to the needs and receptivity of the listeners.
Once each week, the sick who came in search of physical or spiritual
healing were attended to, during which time the Spiritual World of God
manifested Himself, teaching, counseling, and healing. Numerous cures of
both body and spirit occurred, but unfortunately these were not recorded in
written form for later generations. Apparently these were not considered
unusual, or even worthy of being transcribed.
With the ending of the Divine Revelations, and of that World of the Spirits
of the Light toward the end of 1950, a final point that had long before been
announced and established by the Lord, a profound break came about in the
24
bosom of the Spiritual movement. A schism occurred between those
communities which abided by the commandment of Christ to respect the
ending of the period of revelations, and that of those communities and
leaders who did not conform to it, and who induced their spokesmen to a
trance state, and thereby opened the door to the world of ignoble and
deceiving spirits and receive the manifestations of impure entities**.
Sadly, many of the guides to these communities disobeyed, and lead the
people astray telling them that God in his Divine charity would continue to
manifest Himself in the same way. Few were the communities that remained
faithful; their members for the most part dispersed in small groups and
continued gathering to study, analyze, and practice the received Teachings.
The others continued routinely going to the gathering places, where what
now manifested itself was not truth, but deceit. Also to these places came
many innocents, who did not know that God had previously proclaimed
many times that with the year 1950 this form of manifestation would come
to an end to give way to perfect and direct communication with Him, that is
to say, Spirit to spirit. These innocents, in their spiritual and material
necessity, were attracted to these places called temples, by the human need
to receive counseling and healing. The others, which remained faithful and
true believers, read paragraphs of the Teachings, exchanged opinions,
meditated, and prayed, and pleaded for world peace and for the sick and
helpless, and tried to put into practice the doctrine of God.
In spite of these unfavorable circumstances, after 1950, a group of men and
women, the majority of them former spokesmen, began to gather the
revelations which were scattered across the city and country, with the aim of
publishing them in a single large book, so that humanity could learn of them.
In doing so, they had to base their work on copies of the typewritten scripts
that had been transcribed from the shorthand notes, by the „golden scribes”
themselves, in order to be passed on at need in the form of copies. A
considerable number of manuscripts of revelations were gathered, from
which were integrated 366 teachings, to make up the twelve volumes of the
„Libro de la Vida Verdadera” or „The Book of the True Life.”
These volumes represented only a part of the revelations, especially of
those of the last few years before 1950. In view of the great number of
revelations studied, one may begin with the premise that these 366
teachings, considered as a whole, cover the Doctrine and the themes that the
25
Divine Spirit wished to bring to humanity, and concerning which He wished
to manifest himself, so that humanity might find the road to a more
promising future.
Later, in the eighth decade of the twentieth century, in Mexico City, the
„Asociación de Estudios Espirituales,” or „Association of Spiritual Studies”
was founded, which proposed as its aim, the administration and preservation
of the written records of the revelations, and the publication and translations
of new editions of the twelve serialized volumes, of Mary the Divine
Tenderness, the counseling of the Spiritual World of Light, and of Elijah the
Forerunner, as well as the formation of extracts of its themes, and of
complementary literature. Even today the Association considers that to be its
primary purpose, rather than the central administration of a spiritual
movement; it has at its base the personal responsibility of each individual in
the light of his or her conscience.
As we open to any page of this present work, we read and feel in our spirits
the convincing, wise, and loving words and revelations of Christ, through
the human beings prepared as tools for that end. Some of them had little
education, and as a result frequently had only – of their own knowledge - a
poor command of the perfect language that flowed through their lips, much
less could they control its content: the wisdom and Divine Authority which
they emanated.
The new Word of God consists in part of affirmations and considerations
related to events and revelations from among the ancient people of Israel, as
well as from the time of the earthly life and work of Jesus; and for the other
part presents a body of new spiritual wisdom, some of which constitute
sharp corrections of the traditional Christian conception of the world. This
concerns the image of God, the Divine nature of Jesus and Mary, and that of
men, possessing a Divine spark in his or her being, and his or her eternal
development; on the concept of Heaven and Hell, the final judgment, the
teaching of salvation and the forgiveness of sin, the „resurrection of the
flesh,” and eternal life. Also, in matters related to the practice of the
Christian faith and the forms of worship, new objectives are in some cases
established, raising questions or discarding the old, affecting primarily the
rituals devoted to God and sacred structures.
26
The central message corresponds with that brought by Jesus: in place of
outwardly directed religious practices, and of publicly displayed devotion, to
say prayers in silence, permitting our acts to be guided by our conscience;
and in place of seeking a calculated spiritual and material welfare for selfish
motives, to act disinterestedly – and spontaneously in an altruistic way for
the love of God, man, and of nature and the Divine creation, in which „love”
is manifested and expressed in different ways: consideration, respect,
solidarity, affection, consolation, help, and support; instead of a blind and
comfortable faith, a living faith, based in spiritual recognition, wisdom and
humility.
In his manifestations, the Lord initially directed his words to the believers
present, to whom He referred as, „(My) people,” „disciples,” or „laborers,”
and occasionally, „(beloved) Israel” (meaning the spiritual Israel, not the
race or nation). Nonetheless, with some exceptions, in a broader sense He
addressed himself to all of Spiritual Israel, to all of the people of God in the
entire world, and to all men of all peoples, races, and creeds. But, will they
recognize and approve this new Word of God?
This should not, and must not constitute a motive for the founding of a new
religious community, church, or sect. It is the call of God to all these, for the
renovation and spiritual awakening of human beings and of all their social
and religious associations. He who scorns this, His Third Testament for
mankind, is rejecting God himself, and the Holy Spirit which is therein
revealed.
We hope that this admonition from the message of love given by God will
serve for reflection, and be treasured by each one, just as are those
admonitions contained in the parable of the „prudent and foolish virgins”
(Matthew 25:1 - 13) and of the „royal wedding” (Mathew 22:2 - 14)
Because this Word is the sacred oil for the lamps of the spirit in danger of
being extinguished, it is the bread and wine from the table of the Lord, the
eternal sustenance, and the recreation of the spirit.

The original text and its translations into other languages.
After reading this introduction you are informed about when, how and
where these Divine Revelations took place. The mentioned "Asociation" was
founded in Mexico to collect and store as many copies as possible of the
Revelations, which were communicated to the many "recintos" throughout
the Mexican State during 66 years.
First translations took place in Germany, followed by others in English and
French in Paraguay, rather far away from any english-speaking country. It
was difficult to find translators, considering that the work had to deal with
spiritualism and in a style of the Spanish language, not familiar in Mexico
nor in Paraguay, but rather a “castilian”, of centuries ago. We hope for your
understanding if you find some “weird” expressions, which might be the
result of the original wording or difficulties in our translation.
If you feel the need to compare some of the wordings with the original
Spanish version or if you wish to undertake a more modern translation, we
refer you to the originals, in the so called “Libro de la Vida Verdadera”
available through the Asociation.

Chapter 1 - Waiting for the Second Coming of Christ

29
I. The Second Coming of Christ, Third Era of Revelation
Chapter 1 - Waiting for the Second Coming of Christ
Introductory Perspective to the
Sacred Event
1. In the beginning of time the world
was without love; the first men were
far from feeling or understanding that
Divine Force, that essence of the
Spirit, the principle of all Creation.
2. They believed in God, but
attributed to Him only strength and
the power of justice. They believed
they understood the Divine language
through the elements of Nature, so
that when they saw them peaceful and
serene they believed the Lord to be
pleased with the works of men, but
when the elements were unleashed,
they believed they saw in them the
manifested anger of God.
3. In the heart of man, an image had
formed of a terrible God, capable of
anger and the desire for revenge, so
that when they believed they had
offended Him, they offered holocausts
and sacrifices in the hope of placating
Him.
4. I tell you that those offerings were
not inspired by their love of God, but
the fear of a Divine justice and fear of
punishment were what inspired those
first people to offer tribute to their
Lord.
5. The Divine Spirit they called only
God, never Father, or Teacher.
6. It was the Patriarchs and the first
prophets who began to make men
understand that God was justice, yes,
but the perfect justice; that He was
first of all Father, and that as Father,
He loved all His creatures.
7. Step by step, walking slowly on
the path of spiritual evolution,
humanity continued its pilgrimage,
passing from one Era to another and
learning a bit more of the Divine
Arcane through revelations that God
gave His children in every Era.
8. Still man did not arrive at a
complete understanding of the Divine
Love, for He did not truly love God as
a Father, nor did He feel in his heart
the love his Lord gave him at every
step.
9. It was necessary for the perfect
love to be made man, that the Word
be made flesh, and be transfigured to
a form visible and tangible to men, for
them to finally know how, and how
much, God loved them.
10. Not everyone recognized the
presence of the Father in Jesus. How
could they recognize Him, if Jesus
was humble, compassionate, and
loving even with those who offended
Him? They saw God as strong and
proud before his enemies, harsh and
terrible with those who offended Him.
11. But, just as many denied, many
also believed those words that
penetrated to the most hidden reaches
of the heart; that way of healing
incurable ills and illnesses with a
mere caress, a look of infinite
compassion, and a word of hope; and
in that teaching that was the promise
of a new world, a life of light and
Chapter 1 - Waiting for the Second Coming of Christ
30
justice that could not be erased from
the many hearts of those who
understood that Divine man to be the
truth of the Father, the Divine Love of
He whom men did not know, and
therefore could not love.
12. The seed of that supreme truth
was planted in the heart of humanity
for all time. Christ was the Planter,
and He is still raising that seed. Later
He shall come for the harvest and
enjoy it for all eternity. He shall not
have to say again, “I hunger” or “I
thirst,” for finally His children will
love Him the way He has loved them
since the beginning.
13. Who is it that speaks to you of
Christ, disciples? It is He.
14. It is I, the Word, who speaks to
you again, humanity. Recognize Me.
Do not doubt My presence because of
the humble form of My presentation.
Ostentation can be no part of Me.
15. Remember Me in My passage
through the world in those times.
Remember that I died as humbly as I
had been born and lived. (296, 4 - 16)
Hopes and Expectations
16. After My departure in the
Second Era, from generation to
generation My arrival was awaited by
those who kept faith in Me. From
Father and mother to son and
daughter, the Divine promise and My
Word were kept alive in the desire of
beholding My return.
17. Each generation believed itself to
be the fortunate one, hoping that in
their time the promise of the Lord
would be redeemed.
18. And so time passed, and so did
the generations, and My promise was
becoming more and more forgotten
from the hearts of men as prayer and
vigil were erased. (356, 4 - 5)
19. The world is subjected to trials,
the nations feel all the weight of My
justice that falls upon them. And My
light, My voice calling to you, is felt
throughout humanity.
20. Men feel My presence, shall
perceive the universal ray of light that
descends and rests upon them: they
foresee Me; without knowledge of
this Work
*
, without having heard My
Word, they raise to Me their spirit to
ask Me: Lord, in what Era shall we
meet? These trials and bitterness
which have come to mankind, what
do they mean? Can it be that you do
not hear the clamor of this world?
You said that you would return.
When, O Lord, will you come? And
in each sect and religion, the spirit of
My children raises and they seek Me,
invoke Me, ask Me, and await Me.
(222, 29)
21. Men interrogate Me and they say
to Me: "Father, if you exist, why do
you not manifest yourself among us,
*

The word and revelation of Christ
during his Second Coming, in spiritual form,
which began in 1866 in Mexico, through the
agency of the prophet, Elijah (or Elias), who
came to prepare the way for the Lord. (See
also the Introduction).
Chapter 1 - Waiting for the Second Coming of Christ
31
since in other times you have
descended to our mansion? Why do
you not come now? Is our iniquity
today so great that it prevents you
from coming to save us? You always
sought the lost, the blind, the leper, of
which the world is full today; by
chance, are we no longer inspired by
your compassion? You said to your
apostles that you would return among
men and that you would give signs of
your arrival, which we believe we are
contemplating; why do you not show
your Holy Face?" (62, 27)
22. Behold men waiting for Me
without being aware that I am among
them. I am before their eyes and they
do not see Me. I speak to them and
they do not hear My voice, and when
for an instant they have a glimpse of
Me, they deny Me.
23. "But I continue giving testimony
of Myself; and I keep on waiting for
those who have been waiting for Me".
24. "And in truth, the signs of My
manifestation during this Era have
been great; the same blood of men,
shed in torrents, saturating the earth
has marked the period of My presence
among you as the Holy Spirit". (62,
28 - 29)
25. No one should be surprised at
My presence, since through Jesus I
made known to you the events that
would announce My manifestation as
the Spirit of Truth. I also told you that
My arrival would be in spirit, so that
no one would be waiting for material
manifestations that shall never come.
26. Look upon the Jewish people
still awaiting the Messiah, who had
not come in the form that they
expected, because the true one was
already among them and they did not
recognize him.
27. Do you wish, humanity, not to
recognize My new manifestation, in
order to continue waiting for Me
according to your belief, and not
according to that which I promised
you? (99, 2)
28. Let the world not await a new
Messiah; if I promised to you that I
would return, I also made it known
that My coming would be spiritual,
but humanity has never known how to
prepare itself to receive Me.
29. In those times men doubted that
God could be hidden in Jesus, whom
they judged to be a man like other
men, and as poor as other men.
Nonetheless, later, and before the
powerful works of Christ, humanity
became convinced that in that man
who was born, grew, and died in the
world, was the Word of God. And yet,
in this time, many men will only
accept My coming if it is in human
form, as in the Second Era.
30. The evidence that I come in
Spirit to communicate with humanity
will not be accepted by all, in spite of
the testimonies, because materialism
will act as a blindfold of darkness for
the eyes of some.
31. How many would like to see
Christ suffer again in this world and
receive from Him the miracle, so that
they could believe in His presence or
Chapter 1 - Waiting for the Second Coming of Christ
32
His existence; but, truly I tell you, on
this earth there will not again be a
manger to see Me born as man, nor
another Golgotha to see Me die. Now
all those who are resuscitated into true
life shall feel My birth in their hearts,
just as those who remain in sin shall
feel Me die. (88, 27 - 29)
32. See that many people of this time
scrutinize the scriptures of past times,
meditating on the prophets, and trying
to penetrate in the promises made by
Christ, to return.
33. Listen to how they say: "The
Master is near," The Lord is here," or
"He shall soon arrive," and then add:
"The signs of His return are clear and
palpable."
34. Some seek Me and call Me,
others feel My presence, and still
others foresee My coming in the
Spirit.
35. Oh, if only that thirst for
knowing was present in all, and if all
had that longing to find the supreme
truth! (239, 68 - 71)
36. See how in all religions and sects
men scrutinize the time, life, and
events with the hope of discovering
the signs that announce My coming.
They are the innocent who do not
know that for some time I have been
manifesting Myself and that I am
about to end this form of
communication.
37. But I tell you also that many of
those who are so anxiously waiting
for Me, if they witnessed the form in
which I have come to communicate,
would not only not recognize Me, but
would flatly deny Me.
38. To them, only the testimonies
will come and by these means, they
shall believe, that I was among My
children.
39. You also awaited for Me
intimately with impatience, but I
knew that you would recognize Me,
and that you would be My laborers in
this Era. (255, 2 - 4)
Biblical Promises
40. In My manifestation through
Jesus, I announced to you the coming
of the Holy Spirit and men thought
that it pertained to a Divinity, who
being in God, was not known by
them, not realizing that while
speaking of the Holy Spirit, I was
speaking about the only God, who
was preparing the time in which He
would communicate spiritually with
men through a human faculty. (8, 4)
41. Why should anyone be surprised
at My new revelations? Truly I say to
you that the patriarchs of ancient
times already had knowledge of the
coming of this Era and seers of other
periods beheld it and the prophets
announced it. It was a Divine promise
made to men, a long time before I, as
Jesus, came to the world.
42. When I announced to My
disciples My new coming and allowed
them to foresee the way in which I
would manifest Myself to men, a long
time had passed since that promise
was made.
Chapter 1 - Waiting for the Second Coming of Christ
33
43. Here you have that period
unfolding before you, here you have
those prophecies being fulfilled. Who
would be surprised? Only those who
have slumbered in darkness
*
or the
ones who have erased My promises
from themselves. (12, 97 - 99)
44. I knew how little you would
fathom My teachings, and the errors
which you would make interpreting
My revelations, I announced to you
My return, saying that I would send
the Spirit of Truth to clarify many
Mysteries and explain to you that
which you had not understood.
45. Because, in the most profound of
My prophetic words, I led you to
understand that this time I would not
come in lightning and thunder, as in
Sinai; nor make Myself a man, putting
My love and words in human form, as
in the Second Era; but would come to
your spirit in the splendor of My
wisdom, surprising your mind with
the light of inspiration and calling at
the doors of your heart in a voice that
your spirit understands. Those
predictions and promises are those
which are now being fulfilled.
46. It is sufficient for you to prepare
yourselves a little to look upon My
light and feel the presence of My
Spirit, the same one that proclaimed
*
1,43 The word “darkness” here and in
many other verses, refers to ignorance or
confusion, whereas, conversely, “light”
symbolizes illumination and understanding.
that it would come to teach you, and
unveil to you the truth. (108, 22 - 23)
47. There are many who have not
evolved due to fear or to a lack of
study. They still practice the law of
Moses without acknowledging the
coming of the Messiah; others,
believing in Jesus, have disregarded
the arrival of the Holy Spirit as
foretold. I have come for the third
time yet many do not await Me.
48. The angels announced My
arrival and their voices were heard
throughout the heavens. Did you not
hear them? The spiritual world has
come to offer you testimony of My
presence. All the prophecies will be
fulfilled, the disasters that are now
occurring on earth will overcome the
pride and vanity of man. Once man
becomes humble, He will then seek
Me, calling Me Father. Love Me, and
thus you will acknowledge Me. A
prayer for world peace will then
emerge from your heart. I love all My
children. Once they evolve spiritually
and return to Me, I will make a
covenant with men and there will be
great joy with the Father and His
children. (179, 38 - 39)
49. So I said to you in that time:
What I have told you is not all that I
have to teach you. For you to know
all, first I must go away in order to
send to you the Spirit of Truth, to
make clear what I have said, and what
I have done. I promised to you the
Comforter in the times of trial. And
that Comforter, that Explainer, is I
Chapter 1 - Waiting for the Second Coming of Christ
34
Myself returning to illuminate you
and help you to understand the past
lessons as well as this new one that I
bring you now. (339, 26)
50. In wisdom is the balsam and
solace that your heart longs for; it is
for this I promised you at that time
that the Spirit of Truth as the
Comforting Spirit. But it is
indispensable to have faith in order
not to stop on the path, or feel fear
before the trials. (263, 10 - 11)
Predictions fulfilled
51. Few are the men who know the
signs that a new Era has begun and
that I am manifesting Myself
spiritually to humanity. The majority
dedicate their lives and efforts to
material progress and in that deaf and
sometimes bloody struggle to reach
their objective, they walk like the
blind, and lose their course, not
knowing what they are after; they do
not see the light of the coming dawn,
do not see the signs, and are very far
from having knowledge of My
revelations.
52. This humanity has believed more
in the doctrines and the words of men
than in the revelations that I have
given you throughout time. By chance
are you waiting for the Father, in His
justice, will send you greater signs
than those which you behold at every
turn, in order that you may feel and
believe that this is the foretold time of
My manifestation as the Spirit of
Truth? Oh men of little faith! Now
disciples, you understand why I
sometimes say to you that My voice
cries in the wilderness, for there is no
one who hears and truly listens.
(93,27-28)
53. So that all men on earth may
testify to the truth of this message, I
have made the signs that were
prophesized in ancient times, the signs
that speak of My new coming, be felt
through all the globe.
54. And so, when this good news
comes to the nations, men will
scrutinize and investigate all that was
said in these times, and surprised and
pleased they will find that all that was
announced and promised about My
new coming has been faithfully
fulfilled, as is fitting for He who has
one will, one word, and one law. (251,
49)
55. In the Second Era
*
I announced
to My apostles My new manifestation,
and when they asked Me what signs
would announce that period, I
announced it to them one by one, as
well as the evidence that I would give
to them.
56. "The signs have appeared up to
the last one; they announced that this
is the Era foretold by Jesus, and I ask
*
1,55 The evolution of his work of
redemption is divided by Christ into three
great epochs, Eras, or times, with the “Second
Era” being that which began with the Divine
revelations of Jesus Christ, and continued until
the time of the present revelations, which
began in the 19
th
Century (See Chapter 38).
Chapter 1 - Waiting for the Second Coming of Christ
35
you: If this manifestation that I am
giving you was not the truth, why has
Christ not appeared, in spite of the
signs? Or do you also believe that the
tempter has power over Creation and
over the elements to deceive you?"
57. "I forewarned you for a long
time so that you would not fall under
the seduction of false prophets, false
Christ and false redeemers; but now I
say to you that the incarnated spirit is
so bright because of his evolution, his
light and experience, that it is not easy
to give him darkness for light, no
matter how much artifice it may
have".
58. That is why I have told you:
Before you devote yourself with a
blind faith along this path, scrutinize
however you wish. Behold that this
word has been given to all and never
have I reserved a part of it only to
specific beings. Observe that in this
Work there are no books in which I
would pretend to conceal any
teaching.
59. However, I also said to you
during that Second Era through the
lips of John, My apostle: "If anyone
hears My voice and opens the door, I
shall enter within him, and dine with
him and He with Me". I also taught
you the parable of the virgins so that
you would keep it in mind during this
period. (63, 79 - 80)
60. All the signs that were predicted
as an announcement of My new
manifestation among you, have now
been fulfilled. Will the world wait for
new manifestations to continue
waiting for My return? Will they do
as the Jewish people, who had the
prophecies of the coming of the
Messiah, saw their fulfillment,
received the Savior in their bosom,
did not recognize Him and still
continue to wait for Him? The
experience is very great and painful
for this humanity, to still be obstinate
in their materialism. If the signs and
ordeals have been fulfilled and I have
not appeared in the synagogue, nor
appeared in any church, has the world
not perceived that in some place I
would be manifesting Myself, since I
cannot go back on My word? (81, 41)
My peace be with you !

Chapter 2 - The Dawn of the Third Era
The First Revelation
1. This is a day of commemoration;
on a day like this I consecrated My
first spokesmen to make known
through them My new
commandments and My new
revelations. The spirit of Elijah
vibrated through Roque Rojas, to
remind you the pathway that is the
Law of God.
2. The moment was solemn, the
spirits of those present were trembling
from fear and anticipation, as was the
heart of Israel, at Mount Sinai, when
the Law was promulgated. And as the
disciples were trembling on Mount
Tabor as they beheld the
transfiguration of Jesus, while Moses
and Elijah appeared in spirit to the
right and left of the Master.
3. That first day of September 1866,
was the birth of a new era, the dawn
of a new day: The Third Era, which
was opened before humanity.
4. From that moment, and without
stopping, many prophecies, and many
promises made by God to men
thousands of years ago, have been
coming true. It has come to pass in
you, men and women who inhabit this
world in this era. Who among you
was on this earth when those
prophecies were spoken, and when
those promises were made? Only I
know that, but the important thing is
that you know that I promised it to
you, and that I am fulfilling it.
5. Do you remember that cloud in
which My disciples saw Me ascend
the last time that I manifested Myself
to them? In truth, it was written that I
would come again in a cloud, and this
I have fulfilled. On the first of
September 1866, My Spirit came in a
symbolic cloud to prepare you to
receive the new lesson. Later in 1884
I began to give you My Teachings.
6. I did not arrive as a man, but
rather spiritually contained in a Ray of
Light to dwell within human
understanding. This is the means
chosen by My Will to speak to you in
this era, and I will take into account
the faith that you deposit in this word.
7. Because in this Era it will not be
Moses who guides you through the
desert in search of the Promised Land,
nor Christ made man who makes you
hear His Word of life as the pathway
to salvation and freedom; it is now the
human voice of these beings which
comes to your ears, and it is necessary
to spiritualize yourself to find the
Divine essence where I am present, it
is therefore that I tell you that there is
merit in believing in this word,
because it is given through imperfect
beings. (236, 46 - 50)
8. In 1866 the first congregation of
spiritualists, disciples of this Doctrine
was born. Under the light of My
Spirit, and oriented by Elijah those
first children began to receive the
inklings of a message which now, at
its ending, you are receiving in
abundance. (255, 10)
Chapter 2 - The Dawn of the Third Era
38
Messages and Signs All Around the
World
9. Elijah, who would come first to
prepare the pathway of the Lord,
manifested himself for the first time
through a human speaker in 1866. Do
you wish to dedicate a few moments
to investigate the signs and events that
took place in all its sequence and
coincided with the period of that
manifestation? Again, it will be the
men of science who will study the
stars, those who in ancient times were
called the wise men, those who will
testify that the Heavens have given
signs that are Divine voices. (63, 81)
10. Do not think that this location on
earth, where I am presently
manifesting Myself, is the only place
where I am presenting Myself to My
children, for verily I say to you that
My manifestation is universal in
various forms.
11. Elijah, who manifested himself
to you prior to My manifestation
through human spokesmen, did not
come only to this nation where you
live. He went from one place to
another throughout the earth
announcing the arrival of a new Era
and also informing humanity that the
Kingdom of Heaven would soon
descend upon mankind.
12. "Voices appeared from
everywhere announcing My arrival to
you. Nature, in turmoil, shook the
earth; science was amazed before new
revelations; the spiritual valley
*
descended upon men; and in spite of
that, humanity remained deaf before
those voices that announced a new
era".
13. A torrent of Divine Light
descended to save men from the
darkness, but they, selfish and
materialistic
*
, far from aspiring to the
perfection of the spirit and the moral
improvement of their lives on earth,
took that light to build thrones and
glories, material comforts and
pleasures, and when they thought
necessary, arms to destroy the lives of
their fellow men. Their eyes were
blinded in the intensity of My light,
and their vanity caused them to
become lost. Yet, I tell you, by that
same light, they shall find the truth,
find the way, and be saved.
14. Those who have known how to
truly receive this light as a Divine
message, have allowed their
conscience to guide their steps and
their deeds, for they had a
presentiment that The Lord has
returned and that He is among men.
15. The representatives of the
various sects and religions have not
*
2,12 The phrase, spiritual vale or spiritual
valley refers to the “Spirits of Light,” of the
Kingdom of God, elevated beings from The
Hereafter.
*
2,13 Meaning the opposite of
“spiritualized,” a life dedicated exclusively to
the physical and material plane.
Chapter 2 - The Dawn of the Third Era
39
wanted to receive Me. Their hearts,
their dignity, and their false grandeur
prevents them from accepting Me in
Spirit. For that reason, groups have
been formed during this Era on this
earth, which consist of brotherhood
and congregations who feel the
presence of the new era, those who
seek solitude to pray and to receive
inspirations of The Lord. (37, 76-81)
16. There are religions that are
getting prepared for My new coming,
not knowing that I am already saying
farewell.
17. I called everyone, and in truth
My call and the rumor that I am
communicating with mankind arrived
to every corner of the earth,
accompanied by testimonies and
evidence that speak of Me; redeemed
sinners, converted unbelievers,
resurrections of the dead, the
terminally ill who are healed, and the
possessed who are freed from their
bondage.
18. But I found many of them deaf,
others vain in their earthly glory, and
yet others fearful of knowing of My
manifestation as The Spirit of Truth. I
received and taught the ones who
came to Me trusting in My Love.
(239, 17 - 19)
19. People of other lands shall come
to this people, multitudes anxious to
ask you of the spiritual happenings
that you have witnessed in this era, as
well as of the revelations and
prophecies that I have given you.
20. For in many parts of the world
My messages have been received that
say that in a place in the west My
Divine Ray has descended to speak in
this Era to humanity.
21. You shall see how, when the
time comes, other people and nations
shall come looking for you. And then
men from the great religions shall be
surprised that it is not them whom I
came looking for. (276, 45)
22. How little My new manifestation
interest the world! How few are the
ones who keep vigil and are waiting
for Me, and how many are the ones
who sleep.
23. Many are waiting for My return,
yet not all perceive My true spiritual
presence during this era. Some,
because of their old belief, think I will
return as a man. Others believe that I
will return in a manner visible to the
material eye. Only a few are aware of
the true nature of My return, which is
spiritual.
24. Some ask and wonder what form
I will take, what day and time I will
arrive, or where I will appear; others,
without thinking of material forms,
times or places, say to themselves:
"The Master is already among us and
His Spiritual Enlightenment surrounds
us".
25. When this message comes to all
the hearts [of men], to some it will be
a joyful present, for it will confirm all
their presentiments and their faith; in
contrast, others will deny the truth of
My message upon not finding it in
agreement with what they thought it
Chapter 2 - The Dawn of the Third Era
40
would be, and not manifested in the
form they expected. (279, 41 - 44)
Elijah as a Forerunner of the Lord
26. I sent Elijah to return in the
Third Era
*
, as I, as the Master in that
Second Era, had announced, saying:
"I say unto you, Elijah has come
already, and they knew him not. I
shall return to the world, but truly I
tell you: Before Me, shall be Elijah."
27. And as all the words of the
Master come to pass, in the Third Era,
Elijah has come before Me to awaken
the spirits, to make them foresee that
the hour of The Holy Spirit shall open
their doors, to say to every spirit to
open his eyes, to prepare his garments
to pass the threshold from the Second
Era to the Third Era; and so that the
manifestation of Elijah would be more
tangible in this Third Era, I made him
speak through a just man: Roque
Rojas.
28. Elijah, from the Hereafter,
spiritually enlightened this man,
inspired him, strengthen him, and
guided all his steps from beginning to
end.
29. Truly I tell you: I did not come
to choose Roque Rojas from among
men. I sent him, sent his spirit,
already prepared by My charity. I
gave him the material form that I had
prepared, and you know that He was
*
2,26 On September 1, 1866, (See Chapter
38)
humble, that through his humility and
his virtue the Father manifested great
deeds.
30. He was a prophet, a speaker, a
seer, and a guide. From all of these He
left a clear example to the people. He
was mocked and ridiculed by his own
people, as was Moses in the desert;
He was persecuted, as was Elijah, the
prophet, and He had to seek out the
mountain peaks to pray for and watch
over his people.
31. He was scoffed at and judged by
priests and scribes, like his Master;
and was believed and surrounded by
very few, again like his Master; his
hands dispensed balsam, performed
miracles which raised faith in some
and confusion in others; his lips spoke
of prophetic lessons that were fulfilled
to the letter and his lips knew to
counsel and give comfort to those sick
at heart.
32. His mind
*
knew to conceive
great inspirations and to raise itself
*
2,32 The Soul: The reader may note that
the word “soul” does not appear anywhere in
this work. This absence was first noted by the
translators of this book into German, but a
check of the original Spanish copies showed
that, indeed, the Spanish word for soul,
“alma”, was never used. However, the
original Mexican editors discovered that in
certain cases, the original transcriptions on
which the book is based did, in fact, use the
word, but only to describe the entity, or
faculty, which controls the human body and
senses, and which ought not to be confused
with the spirit. For that reason, to avoid
confusion, it is believed that the early
Chapter 2 - The Dawn of the Third Era
41
with the ecstasy of the just, of the
apostles, of the prophets; his spirit
knew how to free himself from this
world and his flesh, to penetrate the
spiritual valley and humbly arrive at
the gates of the Mysteries of the Lord,
and by this elevation, the spirit of
Elijah manifested himself to the first
witnesses, before the coming of the
ray of the Master. (345, 57 - 58)
33. Roque Rojas assembled a group
of men and women of faith and good
will, and there, in the midst of his first
gatherings, Elijah manifested himself
through the faculty of the Envoy
saying: "I am Elijah, the prophet”, the
same of the transfiguration on Mount
Tabor. He gave instructions to the
first disciples, at the same time that
He proclaimed to them the Era of
Spirituality and He foretold that the
Ray of Light of the Divine Master
would communicate with His people
soon.
34. On a day when the humble
dwelling of Roque Rojas was full of
faithful followers who believed the
word of that man, Elijah descended to
illuminate the mind of his speaker,
transcribers of the original notes omitted the
word “soul”, and instead used descriptive
terminology including: “la materia, el cuerpo,
la envoltura, los sentidos, el corazón, la mente
and others; in the English edition these have
been rendered as: the material form, the body,
the shell, the senses, the heart or hearts, or the
mind.
and inspired by Me, He anointed
seven of those believers to whom He
gave the representation or symbolism
of the Seven Seals.
35. Later, when that promised
moment of My communication took
place, I observed that out of those
seven chosen, only one kept vigilance
awaiting the arrival of the Pure
Spouse and that heart was that of
Damiana Oviedo, the maiden whose
faculty was the first to receive the
light of the Divine Ray as a reward for
her perseverance and her preparation.
36. Damiana Oviedo represented the
Sixth Seal
*
. It was one more proof
that the light of the Sixth Seal
illuminates this era. (1, 6 - 9)
37. Very few indeed were able to
truly feel the presence of the Divine
envoy! Once again He was the voice
who cried out in the wilderness, and
again He prepared the heart of men
for the imminent coming of the Lord.
Thus, the Sixth Seal was opened,
allowing its contents to be
contemplated and poured like a
torrent of justice and light upon
mankind. Thus, many promises and
prophecies remained fulfilled.
*
2, 36 The text refers to the revelation of
John the Apostle, and to the second - to - last
of the Seven Seals, which define different
periods forming the Lord’s great plan for
redemption (See Chapter 38).
Chapter 2 - The Dawn of the Third Era
42
38. Elijah, like Jesus and Moses,
came to illuminate the eyes of your
spirit so that you would behold the
Father. Moses taught you to 'love your
fellowman as thyself". Jesus said to
you: 'Love one another'. Elijah
ordered you to 'have charity and more
charity toward your brethren', then He
added, 'and you will behold My
Father in all His Splendor". (81, 36 -
37)
39. When the darkness that has
covered humanity disappears and light
is manifested in the spirits, you will
feel the presence of a new era, for
Elijah has returned among men.
40. But since they have not known
how to see him, it has been necessary
that He manifest his spirit through a
human spokesman and that He
appears before those, who are able to
perceive him spiritually, as in the
some vision in which Elisha saw
Elijah riding a carriage of fire over the
clouds.
41. "Elijah has come as a forerunner
in this time to prepare mankind for
My arrival. He has come as a prophet
to announce the new Era to you with
its battles, its trials, and also with the
wisdom of his revelations. He comes
with his carriage of light to invite you
to enter it in order to lift you over the
clouds and take you to the spiritual
mansion where peace reigns. Trust in
him as in the good shepherd; follow
him spiritually as the people followed
Moses in the First Era; pray that He
will help you to fulfill your mission,
and if you want to imitate him, do so".
(31, 58 - 59)
42. Elijah, a spirit of great power
who has not been recognized by
humanity, has always been My
forerunner. Today, He has come once
again to prepare the chosen
*
, those
who have served Me as spokesmen
and to all humanity.
43. If you prepare yourselves and
study My teaching in order to come to
know My will, Elijah will come as
your support and friend.
44. Elijah is a Divine ray who
illuminates and guides all beings and
leads them to Me. Love him and
honor him as a forerunner and as your
mediator. (53, 42 - 44)
45. Elijah the prophet, the
forerunner, the envoy of the Third
Era, intercedes for his flock, prays for
those who do not know to pray, and
conceals with his mantle the blemish
of the sinner, waiting for his
regeneration. Elijah prepares his
multitudes, his legions, to combat the
darkness created by the ignorance,
sin, fanaticism and materialism of
mankind. (67, 60)
*
2,42 The “chosen” or “marked” ones, ( see
John, chapter 14, 1 - 5 ) are those elected by
God who have received from Him the sign of
the Holy Trinity on their foreheads (See also
the final paragraphs of Chapter 39).
Chapter 2 - The Dawn of the Third Era
43
46. Now it corresponds to all of you
who are prepared and awake to
announce the liberation of the world.
Remember that Elijah, the promised
one for this time, is preparing
everything to rescue the nations of the
earth, enslaved by materialism, from
the rule of Pharaoh, as in that time
when Moses did in Egypt with the
tribes of Israel.
47. Tell your brethren that Elijah has
already manifested himself through a
human spokesman, that his presence
has been in spirit, and that He shall
continue to illuminate the way to all
the people who shall come in the
future.
48. Your Shepherd has as his
mission to restore all the creatures to
their true path, whether it be spiritual,
moral, or material order; for which I
tell you how fortunate shall be the
nations that receive the call of the
Lord through Elijah, thus they shall be
united by the law of justice and love,
which shall bring them peace as the
fruit of their understanding and
brotherhood. Thus united they shall be
taken to the field of battle where they
shall struggle against evil,
materialism, and falsehood.
49. In that struggle the men of this
time will see new miracles, and they
shall understand the spiritual sense of
life, that which speaks to them of
immortality and peace. They will
cease killing one another, and
realizing that what you should be
destroying is your ignorance, your
selfishness, and your insane passions,
which have given origin to your
obstacles and miseries, both material
and spiritual. (160, 34 - 36)
50. Elijah is the ray of God, whose
light comes to dissipate the darkness
and liberate you from the slavery of
this time, which is sin, and who will
guide your spirit through the desert
until you arrive at the Promised Land
in the bosom of God. (236, 68)
My peace be with you !

Chapter 3 - The Spiritual Sun of the Second Coming of Christ
The Coming of the Lord
1. I present Myself before humanity
in a period when new revelations have
transformed the life of man.
Nevertheless, I still manifest Myself
to humanity with the same humility
that you have always known.
2. The Divine Word of God has not
come to incarnate on earth again nor
has Christ come again to be born in a
humble manger. That is no longer
necessary because man no longer
needs a material being to offer
testimony of the power of God.
Although I am manifesting Myself
through human spokesmen during this
era, man should not believe that My
presence is in a material form. It is
not, because the presence of God is
spiritual, universal and infinite.
3. My arrival during this period
would not have been necessary if
humanity had been living a life of
justice and virtue, for not all of the
deeds that humanity has presented to
Me are righteous. Man walks on the
wrong path and continues to sin and
to lead a life that is unjust and evil.
Thus, it was necessary that I come
during this Era to awaken man
spiritually and to remind him of the
spiritual responsibilities that He has
neglected. Man also needs to become
aware of his Father, who has helped
him to become all that He is and who
will help him become the true son of
God.
4. If I had attempted to communicate
with man from Spirit to spirit during
this period, man would not have
listened to Me because He is very
materialistic. Therefore, I chose to
manifest Myself through human
spokesmen to give you My teachings.
5. The reason why I "descend" to
communicate with you is this: As you
cannot ascend to communicate with
your Lord spirit to Spirit, I have had
to descend another step, that is, from
the spiritual and the Divine, where
you may not yet come, to take up your
understanding, which has its seat in
the brains of men, and translate My
Divine inspiration to human words
and material sound.
6. Man still needs to learn much
more, and it is the Lord who has come
to bring him knowledge and wisdom.
Although some may believe that My
manifestation through the human
spokesmen was not praiseworthy,
truly I tell you, that the teachings have
revealed great spiritual wisdom and
knowledge. Some would have
preferred a manifestation with more
splendor and more dignity, but any
form of grandeur which reflects
vanity lacks Divine light and spiritual
elevation.
7. I could have arrived amidst
lightning and storms to make My
power known. Man would easily have
known that the Lord had arrived!
However, this would have caused man
to become more confused and fearful.
Do you not believe that instead of
feeling love toward the Divine Father,
you would have feared His justice?
Chapter 3 - The Spiritual Sun of the Second Coming of Christ
46
Although God is all power, you must
realize that He will not impose His
will on humanity nor utilize His
power to triumph over man. The only
power God will use is Divine Love.
8. It is the Divine Spirit who is now
speaking to the Universe. It has come
to clarify all things that have confused
man in the past. This is the dawning
of a new day for mankind because the
Divine Spirit has come to eliminate
the doubts and false fears of man as
well as to help man acquire greater
spiritual wisdom and understanding,
allowing his spirit to become free.
9. I say to you that after you become
familiar with the essence of My
teachings and the justice of My laws,
you will also become aware of how
your previous belief and ideas
prevented you from knowing the
truth.
10. No longer will the fear of
punishment prevent you from
analyzing and learning about different
things. You will feel free to learn as
much as you can, however, your
conscience will tell you when it is not
to your benefit to penetrate into
knowledge that is not reserved for
man. You must learn that man is not
entitled to all knowledge. He must
acquire only the knowledge that is
reserved for him.
11. My people: If it was announced
that My arrival would be amidst wars,
unleashed elements in nature,
epidemics, and chaos on earth, it was
not I who caused these events. I came
during this period because I knew that
humanity would need Me during this
time of great ordeals.
12. Those events that were foretold
to signal My arrival, are now
occurring. During this Third Era, I
have come to earth during a period of
great suffering and turmoil to awaken
and summon a new humanity with
love. It is love that inspires man to
practice justice, brotherhood, and
peace. (296, 17 - 27)
13. The word of Christ germinated in
His disciples, as well as in the other
people who followed Him. His
teachings and the essence of those
teachings spread throughout the
world. The teachings that I have
brought today also will spread
throughout the world. They will be
welcomed by those who are prepared
to feel and comprehend them. (296,
35)
"Every Eye Shall See Me"
14. Jesus said to His disciples: " I
shall be gone from you for only a
time, I shall return." Then it was
revealed that their Master would
return in a cloud surrounded by angels
and beaming rays of light toward the
earth.
15. Here I am in the cloud,
surrounded by angels, which are the
spiritual beings that have come to
manifest themselves among you as
messengers of My Divinity, and as
your good counselors. The rays of
light are My Word that speaks to you
of new revelations that surpasses
wisdom in human understanding.
Chapter 3 - The Spiritual Sun of the Second Coming of Christ
47
16. Blessed are those who without
seeing have believed, for these are the
ones who have felt My presence.
(142, 50 - 52)
17. Man, through his spirit, shall
find the truth; all shall feel My
presence, because I have told you
since that time that every eye would
see Me when the proper time comes.
18. For this time in which you live is
precisely that announced by My word
and by My prophets of past times, so
that every man on earth would see Me
through the senses and potential of his
spirit.
19. It is not necessary that they
behold Me limited or drawn in a
human form in order to say that they
have seen Me, but it is sufficient that
their spirit feels Me and their
understanding can say with all truth
that they have seen Me.
20. Love and faith, like intelligence,
can look infinitely beyond the reach
of your eyes, it is for this reason that I
tell you that it will not be necessary to
limit My presence in the human form,
or through some symbolic figure to
get you to see Me.
21. In the Second Era, how many
saw Me or passed by My side, not
knowing who I was? In contrast, how
many who did not know when I was
born as a man, saw Me in spirit,
through My light, and enjoyed My
presence by means of their faith.
22. All of you open your eyes, and
justify your faith that you are children
of the light. All of you may see Me,
but it is indispensable to have the will
and faith to do so. (340, 45 - 51)
23. I say to you that when this
humanity is more against Me with its
irreverence, its deviation from justice
and righteousness, I shall appear
along their path full of splendor as I
appeared before Saul, and I will make
them listen to My voice.
24. Then you will behold many who
have unknowingly been persecuting
Me, will arise, transformed and
illuminated, ready to follow Me along
the path of righteousness, love and
justice.
25. I will say to them: Hold back
your footsteps, 0 travelers, and drink
from this fountain of crystalline
waters. Rest from the harsh journey in
which I have tested you, confide your
troubles to Me and allow My gaze to
penetrate deeply into your spirit,
because I want to fill you with grace
and to comfort you. (82, 46)
26. My love shall stir your most
sensitive fibers, but in harmony with
your conscience, which makes you
hear My Divine concert; and many
shall behold Me in the sweet figure of
Jesus.
27. I must warn you that the figure
of Jesus is not the perfect form in
which you shall behold Me. If I told
you in past times: "Every eye shall see
Me," I made you understand that all
of you would know the truth, yet I
must tell you that I shall limit Myself
according to the evolution of each
spirit. But, as you ascend in the ladder
of perfection you will behold Me in
all My splendor.
28. For now, do not try to imagine
Me in any form whatsoever. Meditate:
Chapter 3 - The Spiritual Sun of the Second Coming of Christ
48
If your spirit being limited is essence,
is light, what form may the Universal
Spirit of Your Lord have, who has no
beginning, and no end? Leave what is
unfathomable in the intimacy of My
Arcane. (314, 69 - 70)
29. During the Second Era I revealed
to you that I would come again among
mankind and that My Spiritual World
of Light would descend with Me.
However, humanity has not
understood nor correctly interpreted
the meaning of My Word.
30. That is why each religion awaits
for Me amidst its church and people
expect to perceive Me with their
physical eyes. Those who await Me in
that manner are the same ones who in
the past said that Jesus was not the
true Messiah. (181, 74)
31. My disciples, I now say to you:
The moment will come when you will
perceive Me in all My splendor. At
that time, the earth and its inhabitants
will have become purified, and the
grace and virtue of the spirit will have
been restored. Suffering will have
disappeared, and there will only be
joy. It will be an infinite day, a day
that will never end. Do you not wish
to perceive those miracles? Do you
not want your children to
communicate with My Spirit, to be
free of sin and to form a world of
peace? (181, 81)
32. "If mankind would have known
how to analyze the prophecies of the
First and Second Eras, they would not
be confused today about their
fulfillment; this is what happened
during the Second Era when the
Messiah was born among men, the
same thing that is happening today
when I have come in Spirit".
33. "The meaning of My teaching is
the same in the two Eras; it prepares
you to make of this existence a
pleasant dwelling, although
temporary, where men will regard and
treat each other as brethren with a
warmth of true brotherhood pouring
from one another".
34. Also, prepare the spirit to
penetrate into those worlds or
mansions that the Father has reserved
for His children after this existence.
My wish is that you do not feel like
strangers when you go there, but
rather that your spirituality and
intuition will allow you to regard
everything that you find as if you
have previously been there. Much of
the truth will be in it, if you know
how to remain in contact with the
spiritual from here by means of the
prayer. (82, 9 - 10)
35. I am the traveler who is calling at
the doors of your heart. I call, and you
do not know who it is; you open, and
do not recognize Me; like the traveler
who comes to a town where no one
knows him, or like the foreigner who
comes to a strange land and is not
understood in his own language: in
this way I present Myself to you.
When will you feel My presence? Oh,
humanity! When will you recognize
Me as Joseph was recognized in those
days by his brothers in Egypt? (90, 1)
My peace be with you !
49
Chapter 4 - Teaching through the Divine Manifestation
Origin of the Revelations
1. "The Word that has always been
in God speaks to you, the same who
was in Christ and whom today you
know as the Holy Spirit; because the
Word is an expression, a Law, a
message, a revelation and wisdom. If
you heard the Word through Christ
and now you receive it through the
inspiration of the Holy Spirit, in truth
I say, it is the voice of God that you
have heard, for only one God exists,
only one Word and only one Holy
Spirit". (13, 19)
2. Do you know the origin of that
light that exists in the Word flowing
from the lips of the spokesmen? Its
origin is in what is good, in Divine
love, in the universal light that
emanates from God. It is a ray or flash
of light from that luminous All which
gives us life. It is part of the infinite
force that moves all, and under which
all vibrates, palpitates, and turns
without ceasing. It is that which you
call Divine irradiation. It is the Divine
love that illuminates and gives life to
the spirits. (329, 42)
3. He speaks to you in this instant,
the One who has always come to save
you; Christ: the Divine promise made
human as Jesus in the Second Era, the
Divine Word made human word, the
Spirit of Love, of light, of wisdom,
limited to a ray through his
conscience touches the spirit and the
mind of man to teach him to transmit
My thoughts. (90, 33)
4. I am Christ, the one who has been
persecuted, blasphemed and converted
into a common criminal in this world.
I come to you after what you did to
Me in the Second Era through Jesus,
to give you one more time, proof that
I have forgiven you and that I love
you.
5.You took Me to the cross naked,
and thus I return, for I do not hide My
Spirit and My truth from your eyes
behind the garment of hypocrisy or
falsity. But in order for you to see Me,
you must first cleanse your hearts.
(29, 27 - 28)
6. "Today I say to you: Here is the
Master, the One whom the multitudes
named The Rabbi of Galilee. I come
to give you the same Doctrine, the
teaching of love; the banquet to which
I invite you is spiritual, as are also the
bread and the wine; but today like
yesterday and as always, I am the
Way, the Truth and the Life". (68, 33)
Places of the Revelations, and their
Recipients
7. "Remember that I am the Word of
the Father; the Divine essence which
you receive in this word is the light
from that Creator Spirit which has left
a part of My Spirit in each one of
you."
Chapter 4 - Teaching through the Divine Manifestation
50
8. Furthermore, on observing the
poverty which exists among this
multitude that listens to Me, and the
humility of this house where it has
gathered, I am asked in silence,
Master, why did you not choose for
your manifestation in this time one of
those large temples or churches where
they might have offered you rich
altars and noble ceremonies worthy of
you?
9. To those hearts who have such
thoughts of their Master, I answer,
men are not the ones who have
brought Me this poverty. It is I who
have elected for My manifestation the
humble dwelling in the poor
neighborhood of your city, thus,
having you understand that it is not
the material tribute nor the exterior
offering that I come seeking among
you. On the contrary, if I have
returned, it has been to preach
humility one more time so that
through humility you will find
spirituality. (36, 24 - 25)
10. There are those who do not
believe in My presence because they
judge the poverty and humility of
these places, and the humility of these
spokesmen through whom I
communicate, but who so doubt,
study the life of Christ, they would
see that He never sought pomp,
honors nor riches.
11. These places may be as poor and
humble as the stable and straw in
which I was born at that time. (226,
38 - 39)
12. Do not think that I chose this
nation for My new manifestation at
the last hour; all had been foreseen
throughout eternity. This soil, this
race, your spirits have been prepared
by Me, just as the time of My
presence was marked by My will.
13. I choose to begin My
manifestations among the most
humble, among those who maintained
their understanding and their spirit
pure. Later I allowed everyone to
come to Me, because at My table it
does not exist any distinctions nor
preferences. My Word, poured out
upon this people, has been simple and
humble, within your reach and your
senses, full of clarity, and has been
profound for your spirit, because I,
even though I am the Arcane, always
manifest Myself and express Myself
with simplicity and clarity. I am a
secret to no one; secret and Mystery
are children of your ignorance. (87, 11
- 12)
14. The first to listen to Me took My
Doctrine as a tree, cutting the first
branches from it to plant them in
different places. Some interpreted My
teachings well, and others took the
wrong path..
15. Small were the numbers that
came together in the shade of these
humble places, yet when these
multiplied, the multitudes grew. I
called them to unite, and that all
would know each other as disciples of
a single Master, and all would
practice the lesson in the same way,
so the seed would be sown, not by the
Chapter 4 - Teaching through the Divine Manifestation
51
free will of the laborers
*
, but by the
Divine Will.
16. Before the Spiritual Ark of the
New Covenant, the multitudes
promised submission, obedience, and
good will, but when the hurricanes
and whirlwinds blew with force, and
beat the branches of the tree, there
were those who weakened, while
others, unmoved, stayed firm, to teach
the new laborers how to cultivate the
soil.
17. There are those who, recognizing
the greatness of this revelation, have
attempted to penetrate My Arcane
beyond My wishes, with the aim of
possessing wisdom and authority that
makes them superior to others, but it
has not taken long to find themselves
before My justice.
18. Others, not knowing how to find
the greatness of this Work in its
purity, in its simplicity, have copied
from sects and religions, rites,
symbols, and ceremonies, believing
that they give solemnity to My
manifestations. (234, 27 - 30)
19. From the time that this
communication began to manifest
itself your spirit was illuminated with
My teaching, even though came the
incredulous among those who have
cultivated the mind just as the crude
and ignorant.
*
4,15 Refers to Christ’s parable concerning
the laborers in the vineyard.
20. So many arguments made to
deny this revelation! How many
attempts to destroy this Word! But
nothing has halted the course of My
message, on the contrary, the more
this Work has been opposed, the more
the faith of the multitudes has been
kindled, and the more time has
passed, the greater the numbers of
those through whom I transmit My
Word.
21. What does this mean? That
human power shall never be able to
prevent the Divine power from
carrying out its designs.
22. The People, upon congregating
in these places, have always done so
without fear of the world, always full
of confidence in My presence and My
protection, and I have proven to them
that their faith is based in the truth.
(329, 28 - 30 and 37)
23. A new apostolate arose among
those people, formed by simple and
humble hearths, full of love and of
faith to follow Me. There could not be
missing among them a new Thomas,
needing to see to believe in My
presence; a new Peter, believing in
Me and yet denying Me for fear of
humanity, and a new Judas Iscariot to
betray Me, changing My Word and
My Truth for coins and praise.
24. The multitudes that make up this
people continued increasing and
branching out throughout the cities,
regions, and towns; and from among
these people arose apostles of truth
and righteousness; selfless laborers
full of zeal for the Doctrine of the
Chapter 4 - Teaching through the Divine Manifestation
52
Lord and clean hearted prophets who
spoke the truth. (213, 72 - 73)
25. I have changed everything for
My new manifestation, both the
places and means of communication,
in order to destroy the ignorance, the
confusion, and the misinterpretation
that has been given to My previous
revelations. Just as the sun appears in
the East, and is seen at its zenith at
midday, only later to be seen as it
hides itself in the West, so the light of
My Spirit came from time to time
from East to West, so that you do not
limit My grandeur and My power to
places, to men, or to races. (110, 9)
26. Although only a few have
listened to My teachings, it is
sufficient because tomorrow they will
offer testimony to their brethren. I
know that if I were to summon
everyone, the majority would not
listen, because they are too occupied
with their daily tasks. They would
deny Me and prevent men of good
will from listening to Me.
27. In these humble places where I
manifest Myself, I am allowing the
seed of My doctrine to germinate. I
have united those with simple hearts
into groups. After they are free from
their everyday responsibilities, I speak
to them of love, of the eternal, of the
spirit, and of true human and spiritual
values. I have made them perceive life
through their conscience and not
through their physical senses.
28. I refer to these individuals as My
disciples. Since they were poor and
not acknowledged by their brethren,
they experienced great satisfaction
when I summoned them. They
resurrected to a new life and rejoiced
at My teaching. Since the Lord has
given them his revelations and has
shown them the path of love, they
strongly believe that they can help
their brethren.
29. Some will reject and ridicule
them because they call themselves
disciples of Jesus. But truly I tell you,
that in spite of that rejection and
ridicule, they will continue being My
disciples. (191, 33 - 36)
30. Humanity is waiting for Me to
summon it. Although man lacks faith,
He is waiting for Christ to tell him:
"Arise and walk".
31. "There are many on earth who
are spiritually dead, blind, ill, and
abandoned. Those who suffer
physically or spiritually are more
sensitive to My presence; therefore, I
will summon them first. Those on
earth who are materially rich,
powerful, and great believe that they
do not need Me. What can Christ give
them if they have everything? Can he,
perhaps, give them spiritual gifts or a
place in eternity? They are not
interested in those things".
32. That is why during this Era I
have chose to manifest My doctrine to
those who are suffering spiritually and
physically. I know that those
individuals are seeking Me and want
to find Me. It is natural for them to
feel My presence when I begin to
Chapter 4 - Teaching through the Divine Manifestation
53
manifest Myself to humanity during
this time. (291, 32 - 34)
The Transmission of the Divine
Manifestations
33. For He who doubts this
communication through human
understanding, it is as though He deny
his superior status among all the
creatures, as though He deny his own
spirit and does not wish to understand
the spiritual and mental level He has
reached through endless tests, bitter
moments, and struggles.
34. To deny that I communicate
through your understanding or your
spirit, is to deny your very self, and
place yourself among the lower
creatures.
35. Who does not know that man is
the child of God? Who does not know
that within He carries a spirit? Then
why do you not think that between
The Father and his children there must
be one or more means for
communication between them.
36. If I am intelligence, I seek you
through your understanding; if I am
Spirit, I seek you through your spirit.
More: How may those who deny My
communication understand and accept
this truth if they have never wished to
look upon Me and know Me in spirit.
In their hearts they have given birth to
many mistaken beliefs, such as that of
thinking that I am a Divine being in
human form, and that I must be
represented with symbols and images
in order to communicate with Me
through them.
37. Over the course of centuries
humanity has sought Me in this way,
and they have become accustomed to
the muteness of the images and forms
before which they pray and offer rites.
And it has come to be, that in their
hearts the idea has formed that none
are worthy of looking upon, hearing,
or feeling God. By saying that I am
too exalted to be approached by men,
these seek to render Me admiring
homage, but they are wrong; for He
who says that I am too great to pay
attention to something so small as
man, is a fool who is rejecting the
most beautiful of that which My Spirit
has revealed: Humility.
38. If you believe in Christ, if you
sustain that you are Christians, you
must not give sustenance to ideas as
absurd as that of believing that you
are unworthy that your Lord approach
you. Have you forgotten that precisely
this, your Christian faith, is built upon
that proof of love, that the Word of
God was made man. What more
tangible and human approach could
you ask of Me? What communication
more within reach of sinful and carnal
humanity, darkened of spirit and
closed to understanding, than that
through which I made you hear My
Divine voice translated into human
speech.
39. That was the greatest proof of
My love, of the humility and devotion
toward men which I came and sealed
with blood so that you may have
eternally before you that none is
unworthy of Me, because, truly, it was
for those most lost in the mire, in
Chapter 4 - Teaching through the Divine Manifestation
54
darkness, and in vice that I came to
make My Word human and to spill
the sap of My blood.
40. Why then, do those who believe
all this reject My presence and My
communication? Why then do they try
to maintain that this is not possible
because God is infinite and man is so
low, so small, and so unworthy? Truly
I tell you that who rejects My
communication in this time is
rejecting My presence in the world in
that Second Era, and rejects also My
love and My humility.
41. You, sinners, it is natural that in
your sin you feel distanced from Me,
but I, in turn feel that the more errors
you commit, the more you stain your
spirit, the more I need to come to you,
to give you light, to offer you My
hand, and to heal and save you.
42. I knew that when I returned to
communicate with My children many
would reject Me and since that time I
have been announcing My return, but
at the same time I made you
understand that My presence would
be in spirit; but if you should doubt,
go to the Testament of those four
disciples who in the Gospels inscribed
My Word.
43. Here you have Me, in the spirit,
and from the luminous cloud, sending
to you My Word, making it human
through these My spokesmen as a
preparatory lesson for that
communication to which all of you
must come: The communication from
My Spirit to yours. (331, 1 - 10 and
13)
44. I have manifested My Divine
thoughts through human spokesmen.
They have translated My thoughts
into human words and phrases to
create a spiritual doctrine filled with
revelations and perfect teachings.
45. "This is the promised Comforter,
this is that Spirit of Truth that was
announced as coming to tell you
everything. The preparation is about
to begin; the time is coming when you
will need guidance from those who
are spiritually strong; those beings
with noble and simple hearts will use
their wisdom and charity to guide
you". (54, 51 - 52)
46. My teaching comes to give light
to understanding, but do not be
astonished at the form of My coming
among you in this time; nor be
confused, nor treat it as common.
47. When My Divine light comes to
the understanding of the one who
serves Me as speaker, it is in the form
of vibrations that are translated to the
words of wisdom and love. How
many steps My Spirit must descend to
reach you in this form! And still I
have had to send to you My Spiritual
World so that you may be given a full
explanation of My teachings. (168,
48)
48. I communicate through the
human spokesman, because the brain
is the perfect intellect made by the
Creator, so that by it the conscience,
which is the Divine light of the spirit,
manifests itself.
Chapter 4 - Teaching through the Divine Manifestation
55
49. This intellect is an example that
you can never equal with your
science. You may take its form and
construction as a prototype for your
constructions, but you will never
reach the perfection obtained by the
works of your Father. Why do you
doubt, that I can use that which I have
formed? (262, 40 - 41)
50. In all times, My love as the
Master has depended on the lesson
that men needed, and I have always
come to them to speak as befitted
their spiritual level and their mental
development.
51. I have come to you because I
have seen that the human word and
the doctrines that you have created do
not calm the burning thirst of your
spirits: thirst for light, thirst for truth,
for eternity, and for love. It is
therefore that I have presented Myself
before you, serving Myself with men
who were humble, unlearned, and of
rough understanding, and making
them enter the ecstasy of the mind and
of the spirit so that from their mouths
might spring the message of the Third
Era.
52. And so, in order to be worthy of
receiving and transmitting My Divine
thoughts, they had to struggle against
both materialism and the temptations
of the world. Renouncing in this way
their own personality and castigating
their vanity, they have made a total
commitment of their beings during the
moments when they lend their
understanding to the Divine
inspiration, permitting their lips to
bring forth words full of wisdom,
tenderness, justice, comfort, and
peace.
53. Always there will be those who
are not able to understand how it is
that without having My Spirit descend
to these minds, by merely illuminating
them with a ray of My light, they can
express such knowledge in their
speech, and pour forth such essence
upon the spirits of the multitudes. To
which I tell you that not even the sun
needs to come to the earth to
illuminate it, being sufficient the light
that from the distance is sent to your
planet to bathe it in clarity, heat, and
life.
54. Just so, the Spirit of the Father,
like a sun of infinite power,
illuminates all and gives life by means
of the light that it sends to all its
creatures, spiritual as well as material.
55. Understand then, that where
there is My light, there too My Spirit
is present. (91, 12 - 16)
56. The human speaker receives a
spark of Divine enlightenment when I
manifest Myself to give you My
teaching. Who, among all of the
spokesmen, could receive the entire
essence of the Divine Word? No one
can. Truly I tell you that you do not
yet know the Divine Word.
57. The Divine Word is Life, Love,
and the Word of God. Although the
human speaker is only able to receive
and transmit an atom of it, you can
still discover the absolute, the infinite,
and the eternal in the essence of these
teachings.
58. To teach you about Me, I can do
it through My great deeds or through
Chapter 4 - Teaching through the Divine Manifestation
56
small and limited manifestations. All
things reflect My presence for I am
present everywhere. All things in the
universe were created perfectly, from
the smallest known creation to the
largest one. To discover that
perfection, man only needs to
carefully observe, meditate, and
study. (284, 2 - 3)
59. My Word did not come again to
be made flesh. In this time I am in the
cloud, symbol of the Beyond, from
where springs forth My Ray that
illuminates the mind of the
spokesmen.
60. It has pleased Me to
communicate with men, and My
determination is perfect. I know man
because I created him. I may serve
Myself through him, for it was for that
that He was made, and I may show
My glory through his conduct, for I
created him to be glorified in him.
61. Man! There is My image, for He
is intelligence, life, conscience, and
will; because He possesses something
of each of My attributes and his spirit
belongs to eternity.
62. Many times you are smaller than
you would have thought, and other
times you are greater than you can
imagine. (217, 15 - 18)
63. If you meditate a little, and study
the scripture, you will see how,
through all the prophets only one
essence was given to man in his
Word. They gave to mankind
admonishments, revelations, and
messages without the errors of the
materialized cult professed by the
people of those times. Teaching
obedience to the Law and to the Word
of God, they helped humanity to put
themselves in contact with the
Heavenly Father.
64. People: Do you not find a great
similarity between those prophets, and
these spokesmen through whom I am
speaking now? Also on the lips of
these do I put the essence of My Law,
and so does My inspiration come to
you through their words, and from
them vibrantly surges the teaching
that invites the multitudes to seek the
Lord by the purest means. They speak
without fear that among the
multitudes that hear them there are
scrutinizers or fanatics. They fulfill
their mission by giving themselves in
service to the Father, so that through
their conduit He speaks to humanity,
and gives them these lessons that open
new paths of light to men.
65. People: Not only is there a great
similarity between those prophets and
these spokesmen, but in fact there is a
perfect connection between them.
Those proclaimed these, and what
those predicted long ago, these
servants now behold. (162, 9 - 11)
66. Not all of My spokesmen have
known or wished to make themselves
available to serve Me, and many times
I have had to send My light over their
impure understanding occupied in the
superfluous, if not the sinful. They, in
their error, have born My justice, for
their minds have been deprived of all
inspiration and their lips of all
eloquence in expressing the Divine
message.
Chapter 4 - Teaching through the Divine Manifestation
57
67. In these cases, the multitude has
closed their ears to those poor
manifestations, but have opened their
spirits to feel My presence in it and to
receive My essence. The people
sustained themselves at that moment
with the essence that My charity sent
them. The pedestal, however, retained
a message that did not emerge from
its lips, forcing the multitude to
communicate with their Master spirit
to Spirit, when they were not yet
prepared to receive inspiration in that
form. (294, 49)
The Form of the Manifestations
68. The lesson of the Master begins
always in the same way, for it
contains the same love. It begins in
love and ends in charity, two words
within which all My teachings are
enclosed. These elevated sentiments
are those that give strength to the
spirit to reach the regions of light and
truth. (159, 26)
69. You may say that the outer form
of the language in which I spoke in
the Second Era, and that which I use
now are different, and in part you are
right, for Jesus spoke in that time in
the terms and customs of the towns in
which He lived, as today I do
according to the mentality of those
who hear My Word; but the essence
that flows from that word is the same;
it is one, and inalterable. This,
however, has been unnoticed by those
whose hearts are hardened and whose
minds are closed. (247, 56)
70. O, unbelievers! Come to hear Me
often, My Word will defeat your
doubt. If to you the form of My Word
seems not to be the same as it was in
that time, I tell you not to halt before
the form, the exterior, but rather seek
for the meaning, which is the same.
71. The essence, the sense, is always
one, for the Divine is eternal and
immutable; but the form in which the
revelation comes to you, or through
which I give you to understand one
more part of the truth, is presented
always according to the capacity or
development that you have reached.
(262, 45)
The Presence of Beings from
Beyond during the Teachings of
Christ
72. Truly I tell you, that in the
moments when My Word vibrates
through the understanding of
humankind, thousands and thousands
of disembodied beings are here
witnessing My manifestation and
hearing My voice; the number of them
is always greater than those present in
material form. Like you, they are
slowly coming out of the darkness to
enter into the Kingdom of The Light.
(213, 16)
73. This, My Word, you hear on the
earth by means of human
understanding, and on the level above
yours, other spiritual dwellers are
hearing it as well, just as on other,
higher levels the spirits that dwell
therein are listening to it as well. For
this concert, that the Father in this
Third Era holds with the spirits, is
universal.
Chapter 4 - Teaching through the Divine Manifestation
58
74. I have said to you: My ray is
Universal, My word and My essence
are also universal, and on the highest
level reached by the spirits, there I am
heard. You hear Me now in this
communication in the most imperfect
form, which is through man.
75. It is for that reason that I am
preparing you for greater
communications, and so that when
you enter in spirit, fully leaving this
earth, we may then meet upon a new
level to hear the concert that the
Father carries on with your spirit.
76. Today, you are of matter,
remaking your heart and spirit with
this Word, and those beings that
belonged to you on earth, those whom
you call still Father, husband, wife,
brother, son, relative, or friend are on
other levels hearing the same Word;
but for them the meaning, the essence,
is different, even when you
experience the same pleasure, the
same recreation, the same breath, the
same bread. (345, 81 - 82)
77. I send a ray of My light to each
world in the universe. That ray of
light reaches this world in the form of
human words, whereas it reaches
other worlds through inspiration.
78. All spirits will become united in
the light of the Divine ray. That light
will guide all spirits toward the
Kingdom that has been promised to
all who are spiritual particle of My
Divinity. (303, 13 - 14)
Time Limitation of the
Manifestations
79. My kingdom descends upon
suffering mankind and My Word is
sounded through the chosen of this
time, so that those who hear Me
become the consolation of humanity.
80. In all times I have had
intermediaries between men and My
Divinity; it has been the meek and
humble of heart who I have had to
serve Me. I am preparing the new
messengers of My teachings so that
this good news may be the awakening
to spiritual life of men.
81. How many of those who are
enabled to carry out a noble spiritual
mission are sleeping, spread
throughout the world! They shall
awaken, and their spiritual
advancement will be manifest upon
their transforming themselves into
beings useful to their fellows by the
nobility of their sentiments. They
shall be humble and never boast of
superiority. (230, 61 - 63)
82. My Doctrine needs to be pure
when it reaches humanity so that man
will arise to fulfill My Law and
embrace the cross of his salvation.
83. I will fulfill the promise that I
made to mankind for My promises are
always fulfilled. I will send humanity
these teachings through My disciples
which will help man prepare himself
to communicate joyfully with Me
from spirit to Spirit because after
1950 I will no longer manifest Myself
through human spokesmen. (291, 43 -
44)
My peace be with you !
59
Chapter 5 - The Motive for the Divine Revelation
God's Will that Humanity be
Redeemed
1. If there was no ignorance on earth,
no bloodshed, and no human misery
or suffering, then there would be no
reason for My Spirit to materialize
and make itself felt by you. However,
you need Me, I know that only My
love can save you in these moments,
and that is why I have come.
2. If I did not love you, what would
it matter [to Me] if you were lost and
in pain? But I am your Father, a
Father who feels the pain of his child,
for each child is a particle of himself,
and that is why I come to give you the
light of truth representing life for the
spirit in every one of My words and
inspirations. (178, 79 - 80)
3. Here I am among you calling to
your hearts. Do you think that My
peace is complete when I behold you
in constant wars? For this have I come
as a great warrior, to fight against
darkness and evil. With Me have
come as well the spirits of good, the
Spiritual World, to consummate My
work. How long will this fight
continue? Until all My children have
been saved. But I have not brought
pain; I wish to transform you with
love. (268, 31)
4. My word will make men
uncomfortable again, as it did in times
past, but I shall tell you the truth.
Without accusing before others, I
have called the hypocrite, the
adulterer, adulterer; and the wicked,
wicked. The truth had been
humiliated, and it was needful that it
blaze forth, just as now, when the
truth has been hidden, and must
therefore be raised again before the
eyes of men. (142, 31)
5. Not once, but many times and in
various forms I proclaimed and
promised My new coming to My
disciples; I prophesized the signs that
would proclaim My coming; signs
from nature, happenings among
humanity, world wars, and sin at its
greatest height. So that the world
would not be confused awaiting Me
again as a man, I made you know that
Christ would come in a cloud, that is
to say, in the Spirit.
6. That promise is fulfilled. Here is
the Master in Spirit, speaking to the
world. Here is the possessor of peace
and the kingdom of light, come to
build an arc of immense size, wherein
all men may find refuge and be saved,
as in the first times, when Noah built
the Arc to rescue human seed. (122,
52 - 53)
7. The form in which I have come to
manifest Myself in this time is
different from that in the Second Era,
but My purpose is the same: To save
humanity, to keep it away from that
whirlwind it has encountered in its
path, and from which it has not been
able to free itself.
Chapter 5 - The Motive for the Divine Revelation
60
8. Temptation is unleashed with all
its strength and man has fallen like a
weakened child, and has paid great
penalties, He has drained the cup of
bitterness, and in the midst of his
confusion, clamored for Me, and the
Father has been with him.
9. Still in the chalice remain the
dregs, but I shall help you to
withstand these afflictions, which are
the consequence of your dis-
obedience. Blessed are you who hear
Me, for you shall be strong. But what
shall others do when this great pain
comes to them? Will their spirits
succumb for lack of faith? The prayer
of Israel
*
must save them. (337, 38)
10. I come to seek you with infinite
love. I have endowed your spirit with
so much grace and so many gifts that I
am not willing to lose any of My
children. You are part of My Being,
of My Spirit; is it wrong to seek you
with so much eagerness and love?
11. When I descend to give you My
word, always among the multitudes
there are those who lag behind, and it
is they who in their hearts hold the
most questions. Yet I satisfy them,
responding always to their questions.
12. Today, those who lag ask the
purpose of My new coming, to which
*
5,9 In the present work, when the Lord
addresses Israel, or Spiritual Israel, He refers
not to the country of that name, or to the
Jewish people in general, but to his new
people of God (See Chapter 39).
I answer that the purpose is to enable
men to return themselves to their
original purity. (287, 19 - 20)
The Elimination of Errors and
Superficial Cults
13. The Third Era has fully arrived
to humanity. Almost two thousand
years have passed since I came to give
to you My Word; and that Doctrine, in
spite of the time passed, is still not
known to all humanity because I am
not loved by all My children; still, all
worship Me, and all seek one single
Divine Spirit, which is Mine. Yet, I do
not see unity among men, I do not see
among them the same faith, the same
elevation, or the same knowledge; and
it is for this reason that I come as the
Holy Spirit, to unify you in Me, to
perfect you with My Doctrine of truth,
with My immutable Word, and with
My Law of justice and of love. (316,
4)
14. The bewilderment of the mind,
the lack of faith, the ignorance of
truth, are darknesses of the spirit and
it is therefore that humanity today
finds itself lost. How those men who
walk without knowing or caring
where they go have multiplied!
15. I knew that to men would have to
come a time such as this: full of pain,
confusion, uncertainty and mistrust. I
promised to come to save you from
this darkness, and here you have Me: I
am the Spirit of Truth. For what
purpose do you want Me again as a
man? Do you not remember that as a
man I died and said to you that I
would wait for you in My Kingdom?
Chapter 5 - The Motive for the Divine Revelation
61
With this I made you to understand
that the spirit is eternal, and immortal.
(99, 7 - 8)
16. My Word in this time comes to
remind you of the past, to reveal the
Mysteries and to proclaim that which
is to come. It shall straighten what
men have twisted and spoiled, for I,
jealous of the truth, come with the
sword of My zeal and My justice to
throw down all that is false, to destroy
hypocrisy and the lie, to expel again
the moneychangers from the temple
of truth.
17. Understand that you do not have
to seek in the books, the counsels, or
the commandments of men, the truth
to reach your salvation.
18. All of you are to be saved. I do
not find one yet on firm ground. You
are shipwrecked in the middle of a
storMy night, in which each one
fights for himself without
remembering his brother, because his
own life is in danger.
19. And truly I tell you: I am your
only Savior, He who arrives one more
time in search of those who have been
lost because they parted from the
heading that is the Law. I come to
illuminate your course so that you
may make land, that blessed land that
awaits you, because in its breast
infinite treasures for the spirit are
guarded. (252, 37 - 40)
20. If in that time false
interpretations of the Divine Mandates
were made, in this time too My
Doctrine has been falsified, and it was
necessary that the Master come again
to help you to leave your errors, since
on your own, very few are they who
manage to free themselves of
confusions.
21. Certainly, from that time I have
promised that I would return; but also
I said to you that I did so because I
knew that a day would arrive when
humanity, believing itself to live
within the path of My teachings,
would walk far from them, and this is
the time that I proclaimed for My
coming. (264, 35 - 36)
22. In the Second Era, Christ, the
same who is speaking to you in this
instant, was made man and lived on
the earth, but now you have him in the
Spirit, fulfilling a promise made by
him to humanity, that of coming in a
new time to bring you the supreme
comfort and the light of truth,
clarifying and explaining all that had
been revealed to mankind. (91, 33)
23. Humanity is disoriented, but I
have come to lead them to the light of
the Holy Spirit, and so that they
recognize My Word for its essence.
24. Over time those scriptures left by
My disciples have been altered by
men, and for that reason are there
divisions between the religions. But I
have come to clarify all My teachings
to unify humanity in one single light,
and one single will. (361, 28 - 29)
25. Today a new Era is opening for
the world in which mankind will seek
greater freedom for his thoughts, and
in which He will struggle to break the
Chapter 5 - The Motive for the Divine Revelation
62
chains of slavery that his spirit has
been dragging behind him. It is the
time in which you will see peoples
break through the barriers of
fanaticism in search of spiritual
sustenance and true light. And I tell
you that he, who for even an instant
comes to experience the happiness of
feeling free to meditate, to scrutinize
and to practice, will never voluntarily
return to his captivity, for his eyes
will have beheld the light, and his
spirit has been in ecstasy before the
Divine revelations. (287, 51)
26. I knew that from generation to
generation men would Mystify My
Doctrine, adulterating My Law and
falsifying the truth; I knew too that
men would forget My promise to
return, and that they cease to consider
themselves as brothers in order to kill
each other with the cruelest, most
cowardly, and perverse arms.
27. But the time and day appointed
has come, and I am here. Do not judge
the form in which I have chosen to
communicate with you, for it is not
the humanity which is to judge Me,
but I who am to judge the humanity,
for this is the time of its judgment.
28. I come to establish a kingdom in
the heart of humanity, not a material
kingdom as many expect, but a
spiritual one whose strength comes
from love and justice, and not from
the powers of the world.
29. I see there are those who are
surprised to hear Me speak this way,
and I ask them: Why must you always
imagine Me robed in silk, gold, and
precious jewels? Why have you in all
times wanted My Kingdom to be of
this world, when I had revealed the
opposite to you? (279, 61 - 64)
30. I already foretold to you that the
struggle would be intense, for each
believes his own religion to be
perfect, and his compliance with it to
be perfect, yet, I tell you that if that
were true I would not have had any
reason to come speak to you in this
time.
31. I am inspiring in you a Doctrine
that is fundamentally spiritual, for I
see that paganism rules in your forms
of worship and that the bad seed of
fanaticism has poisoned you with
ignorance and hatred.
32. My sword of light is in My hand,
I am the warrior and the King who
comes to destroy all that is deplorable,
all evil that exists, and all that is false.
When My struggle is finished, and the
hearts have learned to unite to live
and pray, the gaze of your spirit will
discover My presence in the infinite
light and eternal peace. “This is My
reign, I will tell you. And I am your
King: that is why I exist, and why I
created you: to rule". (279, 72 - 74)
Clarification about the True Life
33. All men know that I am the
Father of all creation, and that the
destiny of all beings is in Me; Yet, I
have not received from them their
attention, nor their respect. They also
believe, that they too are lords, and
believe they have power over the
Chapter 5 - The Motive for the Divine Revelation
63
destinies of their fellow men; why
bow before Me?
34. In this way has man tried My
patience and defied My justice; I have
given him time to find the truth, but
He has wanted nothing from Me. I
came as Father, and was not loved;
then came as Master, and was not
understood; but, as it is necessary to
save humanity, I come now as judge. I
know that man will rebel against My
justice, for neither will He understand
Me as judge, and He will say that God
has avenged himself.
35. I would wish that all comprehend
that God cannot have feelings of
revenge, because His love is perfect;
nor can He send pain, it is you who
attract it through your sin. My Divine
justice is above your pain and even
above your death. Pain, obstacles,
failures, these are the tests that man
goes on creating; and as you shall
sow, so shall you reap. For Me it is
enough in each of these moments of
peril to make My light come unto
your spirit, so that it reaches its
salvation. (90, 5 - 7)
36. It is the Spirit of Truth that
descends to unravel Mysteries and
reveal to you the knowledge
necessary to enjoy true life; it is the
Divine comfort that is poured out
upon your pains to give you testimony
that the Divine Judgment is not
punishment, nor vengeance, but rather
a judgment of love to carry you to the
light, to peace, and to happiness. (107,
24)
37. Know that for He who comes to
understand and know something of
what is reserved for those who are
elevated, that light revealed can no
longer be parted from his spirit.
Penetrate then the unknown dwelling
places, or return again and again to
the earth, that which one day you
received as a flash of divinity, will
arise at each step from the most pure
of your own being as a presentiment,
as a sweet awakening, or as a celestial
song that will flood your heart with
pleasure, as a longing to return to the
spiritual mansion. That is what My
doctrine means to those spirits that
return to this life. The spirit appears to
forget its past, but in reality does not
lose the knowledge of My teaching.
38. To those who doubt that it is the
Divine Word that speaks to you at this
moment and in this form, I tell you
that if you do not wish to give Me that
name, do not wish to attribute this
word to the Divine Master, then take
the essence of this lesson, analyze all
of its thoughts, and if on
contemplating what you have heard
you arrive at the conclusion that it
contains light and truth for humanity,
then take it as a norm for your actions
on earth, and with it transform your
life.
39. I know that I am giving you true
wisdom. What men believe does not
change one atom of My truth, but it is
necessary for man to have certainty
about what He believes, what He
knows, and what He loves; therefore,
in My manifestations I sometimes
place Myself at the level of humanity,
Chapter 5 - The Motive for the Divine Revelation
64
so that they may know Me. (143, 54 -
56)
40. The concept that men have of
Me is very limited, their knowledge of
the spiritual, very slight, their faith,
very small.
41. The religions sleep the sleep of
centuries, without taking any step
forward, and when they awaken it is
only to shake themselves internally,
without daring to break out of the
fence that they have created with their
traditions.
42. It shall be the humble, the poor,
the simple, and the ignored who break
out of that orbit in search of light, of a
pure environment, of truth, and of
progress. It shall be they that ring the
bell and raise the cry of alarm when
they sense the arrival of the time of
My new revelations, in the Era of
Spirituality.
43. Humanity wants to discover the
Mystery of spiritual life; that
existence which unavoidably must be
entered into, and for that very reason
interests them to know.
44. Men question, plead, and ask for
light from mercy, because they sense
the need to prepare themselves, but,
every answer they get says that the
spiritual life is a Mystery and that to
try to pull back the veil that covers it
is folly and blaspheMy.
45. Truly I tell you, that those
thirsting for truth and light will not
find the fountain whose waters calm
their thirst in the world. It shall be I
who pours forth from the heavens
those waters of wisdom that the spirits
yearn to drink. I shall spill My
fountain of truth over every spirit, and
over every mind so that the Mysteries
are destroyed, for I tell you once
again, that it is not I who have
Mysteries for men, but you who
create them.
46. If you take into account that God
is infinite, and that you are only
particles, it is well that there always
exist something in your Father that
you never discover; but that you do
not know who you are in eternity, that
you yourselves must be an
impenetrable Mystery to yourselves,
and that you must wait to enter into
spiritual life to know it; that is not
ordained by Me.
47. That in past times you were not
spoken to in that form, nor were you
given a broad invitation to enter into
the light of spiritual knowledge, is
true; but it is that in those past times,
humanity did not experience the
urgent need to know that now it feels,
nor was it able spiritually or mentally
to understand. If always you were
searching and stirring, it was more
from curiosity than from a real thirst
for light.
48. So that men find the road that
leads them to that light, and to be
prepared to receive those waters from
the fountain of life and wisdom, first
they will have to leave aside all
outward worship and erase from their
hearts all fanaticism. Once you begin
to feel in your hearts the presence of
the living and all powerful God, you
shall feel escape from the innermost
part of your being, a new prayer,
unknown, full of emotion and
Chapter 5 - The Motive for the Divine Revelation
65
sincerity, wholly elevated and tender,
which will be the true prayer revealed
by the spirit.
49. That will be the beginning of
your elevation toward the light, the
first step on the road to spirituality. If
the spirit can reveal to man the true
prayer, it can also reveal to him all the
gifts that He possesses, as well as the
way to develop and channel them for
the path of love. (315, 66 - 75)
50. You may find in My
manifestation the same teachings as in
the Second Era; but in this Era I have
come with the light of My Holy Spirit,
to reveal to you the unfathomable, and
in communication from spirit to
Spirit, I will continue revealing new
and very great lessons. I shall give
you to know all the content of the
Sixth Seal in this stage of revelations,
so that you may go on preparing for
the time when I shall open the
Seventh Seal. And so you will begin
to know the unfathomable, and so you
will find that the spiritual valley is the
dwelling of all the spirits, the infinite
and marvelous mansion that awaits
you in the Beyond, where you shall
receive the reward for the works that
you have sewn with love and charity
among your brothers. (316, 16)
The Development, the Spirituality,
and the Salvation of Mankind
51. I do not deliver My teaching to
you just as a moral restraint for your
body, but with it you can attain great
elevation toward your spiritual
perfection.
52. I do not come to create a new
religion among you; this Doctrine
does not come to deny the existing
religions, when they are based on My
truth. This is a message of Divine love
for all, a call for all institutions. He,
who understands the Divine purpose
and complies with My precepts, will
feel guided toward the progress and
elevation of his spirit.
53. While man does not understand
the spirituality which He must have in
his life, peace will be very far from
being a reality in the world; on the
other hand He who complies with My
Law of love will not fear death nor the
judgment that awaits his spirit. You
should know that it will not be until
death reaches you that your Father
will judge you, but that the judgment
begins as soon as you become aware
of your deeds and feel the call of your
conscience. My judgment is always
upon you. At each step, be it in the
human existence or in your spiritual
life, you are subject to My judgment,
but here in the world, while in the
flesh, the spirit becomes insensitive
and deaf to the calls of its conscience.
(23, 12 - 13)
54. I have not come with these
revelations only to bring you the
peace of the world and make your
suffering lighter with earthly balm. I
have come with this manifestation to
give you the great lessons that speak
of your spiritual evolution, for if I had
come merely to give you the goods of
the world, truly I say to you: for that it
would have sufficed to entrust you to
Chapter 5 - The Motive for the Divine Revelation
66
the scientists, whom I would have
enlightened by intuition, revealing to
them the secrets of Nature, so that
from there you could take the balms
to heal yourselves of your bodily ills.
55. My Work comes to show you
broader horizons, beyond those of
your planet, of that infinite number of
worlds that surround you; endless
horizons that show you the road to the
eternity that belongs to you. (311, 13 -
14)
56. My spiritual Doctrine bears
various ends, or missions: One is to
comfort the spirit in its exile, making
it understand that God formed it and
waits eternally for it in his Kingdom
of Peace; another is to make him
know how many gifts and faculties He
has available to reach salvation and
elevation, or perfection.
57. This word carries the message of
spirituality that opens the eyes of
men, so that they look directly at the
reality they think they find only in
what they see, in what they touch, or
in what they can prove with their
human science, without realizing that
they are naming "reality" that which is
transitory, and are missing or denying
the "eternal" where true reality exists.
58. Let this message go from nation
to nation, from house to house,
leaving its seed of light, comfort, and
of peace, so that men stop some
moments and concede to their spirits a
truce, which is indispensable to
contemplate and remember that any
instant may be that of his return to the
spiritual valley, and that from his
works and from what He has sewn in
the world, depends the fruit that He
shall harvest upon his entry into
spiritual life. (322, 44 - 46)
My peace be with you !
67
Chapter 6 - The Third Testament and the Great Book of Life
The Book of Love, the Truth and
Wisdom of God
1. The book of My word is the book
of Divine and true love, in it you will
find the unchangeable truth. Turn to it
and you will find the wisdom that will
help you to evolve and attain peace in
eternity. He will be at fault who will
alter or modifies its essence and will
greatly infringe My Law, who should
take or add a single word which will
be in disagreement with My perfect
Doctrine.
2. "Safeguard this word with its
original purity, for it is the most
beautiful heritage that I will bequeath
to man. Record My teaching and
allow it to be known to your brethren;
keep it faithfully because you are
responsible for that heritage".
3. Tomorrow man will find in it the
essence of My revelation, which will
guide them along the path of truth
with the light of its teachings.
4. From parents to children these
writings will be passed on as a spring
of living water, whose current will
flow endlessly and will go from heart
to heart. Study in the great Book of
Life, the book of spirituality, that
which will explain the Divine
revelations which you have received
throughout the ages.
5. Did I not promise you that all
knowledge would be restored to its
original truth? Well this is the time
which was announced to you.
6. Truly I say to you that He who
meditates and analyzes the teachings
of My Book, with a true desire to
elevate his knowledge, will acquire
the light for his spirit and He will feel
Me nearer to him.
7. "The Myths of yesterday and
those of today will fall; all that is
mediocre and false will crumble, for
the moment will come in which you
will no longer be nourished by
imperfections and the spirit will arise
in search of the truth, so that this will
serve as its only sustenance".
8. "In these teachings mankind will
find the essence of My revelations,
which up to now have not been
comprehended due to your lack of
spirituality. Since ancient times I have
entrusted it to you through My
envoys, My emissaries, My
interpreters, and you have only used it
to create Myths and traditions.
Meditate and study this lesson with
respect and love if you wish to avoid
centuries of confusion and bitterness:
but remember that you will not fulfill
your mission, if you are satisfied with
possessing that book only; no, it
should awaken and teach you if you
truly desire to become My disciples.
Indoctrinate with examples, with the
love and charity that I have taught
you". (20, 1 - 8)
9. The book of My teachings has
been formed from the lessons that in
this time I have dictated to you
through human understanding; with
this Book which humanity will come
Chapter 6 - The Third Testament and the Great Book of Life
68
to recognize as the Third Testament,
you will defend My Divine cause.
10. Humanity recognizes only the
Law of the First Era and what is
written in the First and Second
Testaments, but the Third shall come
to unify and correct that which men
have altered through lack of readiness
and understanding. Humanity must
study My message so that penetrating
to the depth of each word it
encounters one single ideal, one single
truth, one single light that shall guide
them to spirituality. (348, 26)
11. I come to reveal to you that
which men of science could not teach
you, because they do not know it; they
have slept in their earthly greatness
and have not risen to Me in search of
My wisdom.
12. The hearts of the shepherds who
in different sects and religions should
be teaching the spiritual science that is
grandeur and riches for the spirit,
have been closed.
13. I have seen that the Law and
Doctrines that I gave to humanity in
past times are today found hidden and
have been substituted for by rites,
outward worship, and traditions.
14. But you, who recognize
intimately that the essence of this
word is the same that Israel received
on Mount Sinai, and that the
multitudes received from the lips of
Jesus in the Second Era, shall be those
who with your worship and your
works teach that the Divine Law
should not be forgotten, in order to
comply with foolish traditions that do
not benefit the spirit. (93, 10 - 13)
15. I have reminded you of the
names of those I have sent, through
whom you received messages
mandates, prophecies and lessons.
16. And so I have united in one
single lesson the contents of all the
lessons.
17. Spiritualism is the inheritance in
which the Three Testaments are
united in one single spiritual book.
(265, 62 - 64)
18. This Doctrine, which, because it
reveals the spiritual, is called
spiritualist, is the road traced for man,
by which He will come to know,
serve, and love his Creator. It is the
book that teaches men to love the
Father in their own fellow men.
Spiritualism is a law that dictates what
is good, pure, and perfect.
19. The duty to respect this law is for
everyone; nonetheless, none are
obliged to obey it, for each spirit
enjoys the liberty of its will, so that its
struggle and all its acts, on being
judged, can be taken into account for
their own merit.
20. See then, that this Doctrine is the
flame of Divine love that has
illuminated and given warmth to all
My children, from the first to the last.
(236, 20 - 22)
Chapter 6 - The Third Testament and the Great Book of Life
69
The Relationship between
Spiritualism and the Doctrine of
Jesus Christ
21. The Doctrine of Spirituality is
not a theory. It is a practical teaching
both for your life on earth and for
your spirits life. No other teaching
exists that is more complete and
perfect. It guided you before you
arrived on earth, it will guide you
during your journey on earth, and it
will melt with your spirit when it
returns to the spiritual world.
22. It will not be I who take the
liturgies and traditions from your
worship services. It will be the spirit
of man that, without realizing it, will
rise above his old misconceptions
motivated by the need for greater light
to illuminate his path of evolution.
Soon men will understand that the
only thing that they can present to
God is the practice of love ; and to say
love, is to say good, charity, wisdom,
and justice.
23. Spiritualism does not come to
erase any of the words preached by
Christ in that era. It could not be
called Spiritualism if it did so, for it
would then be opposing truth. How
could this word be set against that, if
it is the Master himself who speaks it?
If you truly penetrate the meaning of
this Doctrine, you will see that My
word of today is the explanation or
clarification of what I said in that era.
It is by way of them that the humanity
of today and of the future are prepared
to understand more than the
generations of the past, and therefore
to fulfill the Law in a way that is
purer, more elevated, and true.
24. If you carefully observe your
brothers during worship, you will see
how they now look coldly on what
was once the object of their adoration.
It is because the spirit is awakening
itself, and seeks what can truly give it
sustenance, and that is why I tell you
that the external form of worship of
this humanity is destined to disappear.
(283, 27 - 30)
25. In this book, which is simple and
humble, but overflowing with Divine
light, men will find the clarification of
all their doubts, and the fulfillment of
the teachings that only in part were
revealed in past times, as well as a
clear and simple form for interpreting
that which is hidden in the metaphoric
language of the older texts.
26. He who after receiving this
spiritual missive is persuaded of the
truth of its contents and rises up to
struggle against his materialism,
idolatry, and fanaticism, cleansing
these impurities from his
understanding and his heart, will free
his spirit, providing it with happiness
and peace because He finally is able
to struggle to conquer the eternity that
awaits him. But those that persist in
their material worship, who are
obstinate in loving the things of the
world and do not believe in the
development or evolution of the spirit,
I tell you truly shall stay behind and
weep when they come to understand
their own backwardness and
ignorance. (305, 4 - 5)
Chapter 6 - The Third Testament and the Great Book of Life
70
Discussions about The New Word
27. If to you My Doctrine seems
strange in so far as you think that
knowing Me, you have never heard
these words, I tell you that your
surprise is the result of your
negligence in penetrating the depths
of what I revealed to you in times
past. It is for that reason that this
Doctrine seems strange or new, when
in reality this light has been always
present in your life. (336, 36)
28. My Doctrine, in this, as in the
Second Era, shall move humanity.
The hypocrites will have to confront
sincerity. Falsity will let its mask fall
and the truth will shine forth. The
truth shall prevail over the lie that
envelops this world.
29. Man will be able to understand
and recognize all that which
encompasses reason and truth, but all
that which He was obliged to believe
without understanding, He will reject,
and therefore My Doctrine will
spread, because it gives forth the light
that men need. A great part of this
work falls to you, that of revealing to
your brothers its beginning, and its
end. (237, 28 - 29)
30. Humanity is hungry for My
Word, for My truth; men yearn and
clamor for the light to come to their
understanding, they demand justice
and await counsel. This is a decisive
time; in truth I tell you that many
ideas, theories, and even dogmas that
have been held as truths for centuries
shall fall to the earth and be
abandoned as false. Fanaticism and
idolatry will be fought against and
exterminated by those who were most
involved and faithful to it; the
teachings of God will be understood,
their light, their content, and their
essence will be comprehended and
felt.
31. The men of science, after a time
of testing, during which they will
suffer very great confusion, when in
their spirits the light shines, and they
hear the voice of their conscience,
will discover that of which they had
never dreamed.
32. Again I tell you: be vigilant, for
in the time of the struggles of creeds
and doctrines, of religions and
sciences, many men, knowing that
you do not carry books, will believe
that the knowledge given them by
their books will be the weapon by
which they can defeat My new
disciples. (150, 11 - 13)
33. I have told you, disciples, that
you shall have to look at the great
religions and the small sects directly
in the eye; but before neither should
you have fear. The truth that I have
entrusted to you is transparent, the
Word that I have taught you is clear
and simple on its surface, but
infinitely deep in its content, and they
are powerful weapons with which you
will struggle and win.
34. And yet I tell you: There shall
arise a people on the earth full of
materialism and disbelief, to deny to
you the right to call yourselves Israel,
to deny your testimony of having
Chapter 6 - The Third Testament and the Great Book of Life
71
received the new coming of the
Messiah, and these people are the
Jews. Have you not thought this?
These people await in their bosom the
arrival of their Messiah, their Savior,
from whom they will receive justice
and who will place them once again
over all the peoples of the earth.
These people know that I have always
come to them, and in this Third Era, I
shall say: Why should God come to
another people? But here are My
teachings. (332, 10)
35. This spiritualist people live
unknown. The world does not know
of your existence, and the great do not
notice you, but the struggle between
Spiritualists and Christians, between
Spiritualists and Jews approaches.
That struggle is necessary for the
establishment of My Doctrine
throughout humanity. Then shall the
Old Testament be united in one single
essence with the Second and the
Third.
36. To many this appears
impossible; to Me it is the most
natural, it is just, and perfect. (235, 63
- 64)
The Great Book of True Life
37. My Word will continue written
for all time; with it you will form the
book of the Third Era, The Third
Testament, the final message from the
Father; for in the three Eras has God
wielded his "golden scribes”
*
to leave
his wisdom to humanity.
38. Moses was the first golden
scribe, which the Father used to
inscribe in inerasable letters in a book,
the events of the First Era. Moses was
the golden scribe of Jehovah.
39. Among the apostles and
followers of the Second Era, Jesus
had "four scribes", who were:
Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.
These were the golden scribes of the
Divine Master, and when the time
arrived to unite the First Testament
with the Second with bindings of
love, recognition and spiritual
progress, then one single book was
formed.
40. Now in the Third Era, in which
you have again My Word, I have
again named the golden scribes so that
it may be written down.
41. When the time arrives, you will
form a single book, and this book, that
of the Third Era, will, when the time
is right, be united with the book of the
Second and First Eras; and then, with
the revelations, prophecies and words
of the Three Eras, the Book of Life
will be formed, for the enjoyment of
all the spirits.
42. Then you shall recognize that
from the first word to the last, all has
been fulfilled in truth and spirit, that
*
6, 37
The reference is to those witnesses to
the teachings of the Lord whose task was the
recording of the teachings in shorthand or
typewritten form.
Chapter 6 - The Third Testament and the Great Book of Life
72
all the prophecies were the "future
history" that the Father revealed to
humanity. For only God can write of
events yet to be. When the prophets
have spoken, it was not they, but God
who did so through their conduit.
43. I have prepared My new chosen
ones sufficiently, as had been Moses
and the four disciples of the Second
Era, so that My Word is recorded with
complete cleanliness, clarity, and
truth, for it is for the generations of
tomorrow, and if any would add to or
remove anything from this book
*
, I
shall see to them.
44. Now, My very beloved children:
Who shall care about this Book that
you are forming? None, in truth, but
the moment shall come in which a
humanity full of anxiety and of
curiosity asks you for your book, and
then it shall be unveiled, scrutinized,
and discussed; in that struggle of ideas
bands will arise, men of science,
theologians, philosophers; to the
nations will be carried the testimony
of your word, and the Book of
wisdom and all shall speak of My
Doctrine. That shall be the beginning
of the new battle, the war of words, of
thoughts, of ideas, and in the end,
when all have recognized in truth and
spirit that the Great Book of Life was
written by the Lord, they will share
*
6, 43 The Lord refers to the essence or
lesson and not to the different wording.
brotherhood and love each other, as is
My will.
45. Why was the word of Jehovah in
the First Time not sufficient to unite
the world, and why did Jesus not
achieve it in the Second Era? Why, in
this time, has it not been sufficient
that since 1866 I have been giving
you My Word, for nations to love one
another and live in peace? It is
necessary for the three books to form
one single book, so that this Word
illuminates the Universe. Then shall
humanity be surrounded by this light,
and the curse of Babel will be erased,
for all men will read the Great Book
of True Life, all will practice the same
Doctrine, and will love one another as
children of God, in spirit and truth.
(358, 58 - 66)
My peace be with you !
73
Chapter 7 - Influence and Significance of the Spiritual Teachings
The Effect of the Revelations
1. Here, before this word, there is no
man who does not tremble both inside
and outside his being, that is to say, in
spirit and flesh. Here, upon hearing
Me is when each one thinks of life, of
death, of Divine Justice, of eternity, of
spiritual life, and of good and evil.
2. Here is where, on hearing My
voice, each feels within himself the
presence of his spirit, and remembers
from where He comes.
3. Listening to Me, each feels for
those moments identified with all his
fellows, recognizing them in the
depths of their being as his true
brothers and sisters. Brothers and
sisters in spiritual eternity, closer still
than those who are such only in flesh,
for that is transitory upon the earth.
4. There is no man or woman who
hearing Me does not feel My eyes
upon them, and so none dare hide or
dissimulate from Me their blemishes;
and I point them out, but not publicly,
for I am the Judge who never shames
publicly.
5. I tell you that among you I have
discovered adultery, infanticide,
robbery, vices and defects that are like
leprosy on the spirit of He who has
sinned. But I do not come merely to
prove to you the truth of My Word by
demonstrating that I can uncover the
failures of your heart. I wish to show
you also the power of My lessons,
giving you the arms to defeat evil and
temptation, showing you how to
achieve regeneration, awakening in
your being a yearning for all that is
good, elevated, and pure; and an
absolute revulsion for all that is
ignoble, all that is false, and for all
that is bad for the spirit. (145, 65 - 68)
6. Today you still live the shadowed
days that precede the light;
nonetheless, that light, taking
advantage of the small clear spots in
your cloudy sky, shines through with
brief rays that reach some points on
the earth, touching hearts, and shaking
and awakening the spirits.
7. All that have been surprised by
this light have stopped in their path to
ask: Who are you? And I have
answered: "I am the light of the
world; I am the light of eternity, I am
truth, and love. I am He who
promised to return to speak to you; He
whom they said was the Word of
God."
8. Like Saul on the road to
Damascus, they have humiliated all
their haughtiness, have beaten down
their pride, and humbly bowed their
faces to say from the heart: "My
Father and Lord forgive Me, now I
understand that without knowing it, I
was persecuting you."
9. From that instant, those hearts
have become small followers, for in
this Third Era, until this moment,
there has not appeared among My
new disciples an apostle of the level
of He who so persecuted Me in My
disciples, only to later love Me with
such intensity. (279, 21 - 24)
Chapter 7 - Influence and Significance of the Spiritual Teachings
74
10. The religions sleep the sleep of
centuries of routine and stagnation,
while the truth has remained hidden.
But those that know the
commandments of Jehovah and the
words of The Divine Master shall
have to recognize in this voice that
speaks to you now, the voice of the
Spirit of Truth, promised for these
times. (92, 71)
11. I know that many will feel
scandalized when they hear this word,
but it shall be those who in their
confusion do not wish to recognize
that in man there exists, in addition to
his human nature, a part that is
spiritual; or they who, believing in the
human spirit, but welded to the
routine of their traditions and beliefs,
deny the existence of a path of infinite
evolution for the spirit. (305, 65)
12. These words I will leave written,
and they will come to My disciples in
the future, and they, upon studying
them, will find them fresh, and alive
and their spirits shall tremble with
pleasure at the feeling that their
Master speaks to them at that instant.
13. Do you believe that all I have
told you would be only for those who
have heard Me? No, beloved people,
with My Word I am speaking to those
present and to those absent; for those
of today, tomorrow, and all time; for
those who have died, for those who
live, and for those who have yet to be
born. (97, 45 - 46)
Hope and Understanding of the
New Word
14. I am the Word of Love that
comes to comfort those who suffer,
the troubled, they who weep, the
sinner, and He or she who has sought
for Me. And My Word in those hearts
is the river where they calm their
thirst and cleanse their impurities, is
also the way that leads to the eternal
dwelling of rest and peace.
15. How can you imagine that the
struggle of life, its sacrifices,
vicissitudes, and trials ends in death
without finding a just reward in
eternity? It is therefore that My Law
and My Doctrine with its revelations
and promises are for your hearts the
motivation, the caress and the balm of
this life's journey. Only when you
depart from My teachings do you feel
hungry and weak. (229, 3 - 4)
16. In My Divine love for these
human creatures, I have permitted
them to scrutinize My works and to
take from all that has been created, so
that none might have motive to say
that God is unjust because He hides
his wisdom from his children.
17. Although I formed you and gave
you the gift of free will, I have
respected it, in spite of the fact that
man, abusing that freedom, has
offended Me and profaned My Law.
18. Today I come to make you feel
the caress of My forgiveness,
illuminating your spirit with the light
of My wisdom, so that one by one My
children return to the path of truth.
Chapter 7 - Influence and Significance of the Spiritual Teachings
75
19. The Spirit of Truth, which is My
light, shines in the conscience,
because you find yourselves in the
foretold times in which every Mystery
would be explained, so that you may
comprehend that which until now has
not been interpreted as it should. (104,
9 - 10)
20. I have come to communicate on
this spot on earth, and I will leave My
Word as a gift for all men; this gift
will remove spiritual poverty from
humanity. (95, 58)
21. I will inspire in all the true form
of adoration of God as well as the way
to live according to the Divine law,
whose fulfillment is the only thing
that God will recognize in each of
you.
22. Finally, oh humanity, you will
know the content and essence of My
word. Then you will find that My
Doctrine is not only the Divine voice
which speaks to men, but also the
expression of all the spirits.
23. My word is the voice that
encourages, it is the cry of freedom,
and the anchor of salvation. (281, 13 -
15)
The Power of the Word of God
24. My Doctrine develops man in all
his aspects; it sensitizes and ennobles
his heart, awakens and deepens his
mind, and perfects and elevates his
spirit.
25. Make a profound study of My
Doctrine to permit you to understand
the right way to practice My teachings
so that your development will be
harmonious; so that you do not
develop your mind alone without
concern for the ideals of the spirit
which you should encourage.
26. All the potentials of your being
can find in My word the luminous
road on which they can grow and
perfect themselves infinitely. (176, 25
- 27)
27. My doctrine is essentially
spiritual, it is light and strength that
descends and penetrates your spirit to
make it victorious in its combat
against evil. My Word is not merely
for the amusement of the ear; it is the
light of the spirit.
28. Do you wish to hear Me with the
spirit, so that it is the spirit who is
sustained and takes advantage of the
essence of this teaching? Clean your
heart, clear your mind, and let your
conscience be your guide. You will
see then how in your being, there will
begin to be a transformation, not only
spiritual, but also moral, and of the
body. That elevation that the spirit
gains with knowledge, that cleanliness
that it reaches, is reflected in the
sentiments of the heart and the health
of the body.
29. Passions will become weaker,
vices will begin to disappear, and
fanaticism and ignorance will give
way to true faith and profound
knowledge of My Law. (284, 21 – 23)
30. This doctrine, known by a few
and unknown by humanity [in
general], will soon come as a balm
Chapter 7 - Influence and Significance of the Spiritual Teachings
76
over all who suffer, to offer comfort,
kindle faith, disperse the darkness,
and inculcate hope. It shall raise you
above sin, misery, pain and death.
31. It can be no other way, for it is I,
the Divine Doctor, the promised
Comforter, who has come to reveal it
to you. (295, 30 - 31)
32. When you have been
spiritualized, and you find yourself
with men who suffer and are
desperate because they cannot have
that which they desire in the world,
you will see how their materialism
contrasts with the elevation of My
disciples, whose conformity shall be
great, because their ambitions and
yearnings shall be noble, based in the
firm conviction that in this life all is
transitory.
33. My disciples will speak to the
world with examples of spirituality,
through a life that struggles to bring
the spirit closer to the Divinity,
instead of being chained to the false
riches of the world.
34. I know that the materialists of
future times will be scandalized upon
hearing this Doctrine, but their
conscience will tell them that My
Word speaks only truth. (275, 5 - 7)
35. On the great journey that awaits
you, I shall be your Cyrene [Simon of
Cyrene helped Jesus carry the cross
to Calvary]. My Doctrine will cause
great revolutions in the world; there
will be great transformations in
customs and ideas, and even in nature
there will be changes. All of this shall
signal the beginning of a new Era for
humanity, and the spirits who in a
short time I send to earth will speak of
these prophecies to help with the
restoration and elevation of this
world, explain My Word, and analyze
events. (216, 27)
36. This Third Era is a time of
resurrection. The spirits had seemed
dead, and the bodies their sepulchers;
but the Master has come before them,
whose word of life speaks to them,
saying: "Arise, and rise to the light, to
freedom."
37. He who upon opening his eyes to
the truth knows how to elevate his
life, his works, and his feelings in
love for his brothers, shall cease to
look at this world as a vale of tears
and atonement, for He will have
begun to feel the joy of the true peace
that comes from serenity.
38. That state of elevation in this life
shall be a reflection of the perfect
peace and light that the spirit will go
to enjoy in the better mansions where
I Myself will receive them and award
them hospitality worthy of their
merits. (286, 13)
Reaction of Theologians and
Materialists
39. Do not be disturbed when they
tell you that He who has spoken to
you during this period has been the
tempter and that it was foretold that
He would also perform miracles, with
which He would perturb and confuse
the very chosen ones. Truly I say to
you, that many who think in that way
Chapter 7 - Influence and Significance of the Spiritual Teachings
77
about My manifestation will be those
who actually are in the service of evil
and in darkness, although their lips try
to assure that they are always
spreading the truth.
40. Do not forget that the tree is
known by its fruits, and I say to you:
The fruit is this word which has come
to vibrate through the faculties of
these spokesmen, men and women of
simple heart. By the fruits and
spiritual progress of those who have
tasted it, mankind will recognize that I
am the Tree.
41. The Spiritual, Trinitarian, Marian
Doctrine will be spread, causing a real
alarm among many who believing
they studied and understood the
lessons which they had previously
received from the Father, have
become conceited with the knowledge
of their philosophies and their
sciences, unaware of the spiritual
evolution that mankind has reached.
42. "On awakening from their
lethargy they will become aware of
the manner in which the spirit of men
thinks and feels today; they will hurl
anathemas against what they call
"new ideas" and they will declare that
this movement is being provoked by
the Anti - Christ".
43. Then they will go back to the
Scriptures, to the prophecies and to
My word which I gave you during the
Second Era, to try to combat My new
manifestation, My new lessons and all
that I promised and which today I am
fulfilling.
44. Through the lips of My disciples
and by means of writings, My word
will reach even those who admit
nothing beyond what is material or
from their knowledge and concepts
which they have already accepted, and
they will call Me a false God for
bringing you this word.
45. But when you hear this, even if
your heart feels hurt, your faith will
not suffer any discouragement,
recalling with emotion that your
Master already had announced it to
you and strengthened you with His
word, to resist those tests.
46. "On the other hand I say that
even if along your way you find
falsity, hypocrisy, superstition,
religious fanaticism and idolatry, do
not judge anyone because of his
errors; instruct them with My word
and leave their cause to Me, for I am
the only One who judges you and who
knows who is the false God, the false
Christ, the unrighteous apostle, the
hypocritical Pharisee". (27, 32 - 35)
47. The war of ideas, creeds,
religions, doctrines, philosophies,
theories, and sciences, shall come, and
My Name and Doctrine shall be in
every mouth. My new coming will be
argued and judged, and from that shall
arise great believers proclaiming that
Christ has been again among men. At
those moments, from the infinite I
shall encourage those hearts and
perform prodigies where they pass to
strengthen their faith. (146, 8)
The Effect of Spiritualism
48. My light, on being spread over
the Universe, has given origin to the
Chapter 7 - Influence and Significance of the Spiritual Teachings
78
seeking of My truth in all doctrines,
and that is the reason for the
positioning of men in their different
beliefs.
49. It is the fulfillment of that which
was prophesized. Who is it that bears
truth? Who, in the clothing of a sheep,
hides a ravening wolf? Who is He that
by clean clothing ensures absolute
purity within?
50. You must practice Spiritualism
to find My truth, for humanity has
divided into as many beliefs and ideas
as evolution has had the mind of men.
51. And so sects and religions have
been formed, and it will be very
difficult for you to judge the truth that
exists in each one of them.
52. My doctrine illuminates the
thoughts and ideas of man, and little
by little will understand the basis for
perfecting his works, channeling them
through a more perfect and elevated
path.
53. The moment will come when
every sect and religion will scrutinize
itself to find that which belongs to My
Work; but to find this treasure it will
be necessary for them to elevate their
spirits and hear the voice of the
conscience. (363, 4 - 8 and 29)
54. Many religions exist on this
earth, but none of them will unite men
nor make them love one another. It
will be My spiritual Doctrine that
performs this work. In vain will the
world oppose the advance of this
light.
55. When the persecution of My
disciples is at its most intense the
elements will be unleashed, but shall
be calmed by the prayer of these
laborers so that humanity may behold
an example of the powers that I have
given them. (243, 30)
56. The world will tremble when My
word is heard in the nations, for the
spirit of humanity that is prepared for
this revelation will vibrate with
pleasure and at the same time fear;
then let he, who wishes to know the
truth, free himself of the slavery of his
materialistic ideas and recreate
himself before the luminous horizons
that will be presented to his sight. But
let those who persist in obfuscation
and the struggle against the light
remain free to do so.
57. The conversion to spirituality
will bring friendship and brotherhood
between nations, but it is necessary
that you prepare, for the contest will
be great. If men rise in wars, it is not
because this is My will, but because
they have not understood the Law of
God. (249, 47 - 48)
58. The time of Universal Judgment
has arrived, and I shall judge all
works, and all religions. From the
spirit of man a clamor will rise, for all
that is false will be uncovered, the
truth shall shine alone; the awakening
shall be among men, and it is then that
men will say to Me: "Father, give us
your support, give us a true light to
guide us." And that light and support
will be the Doctrine of the Holy
Spirit, the teaching that I have given
you, which belongs also to them, and
Chapter 7 - Influence and Significance of the Spiritual Teachings
79
to all, for I am the Father of one and
all. (347, 27)
The Importance of the New
Revelation
59. In appearance this revelation
contains nothing grand, yet you shall
see the importance it will have among
humanity.
60. Among this people are disciples
of every type; some see a glimpse of
the magnitude of this work, and
foresee the commotion that its
appearance will provoke in the world,
others are content to believe that this
is a good path, and there are others
who do not manage to perceive the
greatness of this Doctrine and doubt
its triumph and its establishment in
the hearts of men. I tell you that it is a
jewel that I have entrusted to you,
whose Divine sparks you have not
wished to see because you have not
analyzed My teaching.
61. Do not forget that already in that
time the Word of Christ was doubted,
for men stopped to judge its origin,
and the attire of Jesus; and on finding
that the son of a Nazarene carpenter
and a humble woman who would later
raise up a group of poor Galilean
fishermen to preach a Doctrine that
seemed strange to them, they could
not believe that this traveler, who
went from town to town showing the
humility of his vestments, was the
King that the Lord had promised to
the people of Israel.
62. I make these explanations to you
because men are given to seeking the
outward shininess that confuses the
senses, to believe in the greatness of
that which should be seen and felt
only with the spirit.
63. I had to spill My blood, give up
My life, and rise again so that men
would open their eyes. From what cup
do you now wish My Spirit to drink,
for you to believe Me? Humanity,
what would I not do to see you saved?
(89, 68 - 69; and 71 - 73)
64. Who comes to say that My
Doctrine is a danger to the material
progress of humanity commits thereby
a grave error; I, the Master of masters,
come to teach humanity the road to
their evolution and true progress. My
word does not speak only to the spirit,
but also to the mind, the reason, and
even to the very senses. My doctrine
does not only come to inspire you and
to show you spiritual life, but also to
give light to all science and in all
fields, for My teaching is not limited
to sending all spirits toward the
mansion beyond this existence, but
will come also to the heart of man to
inspire him to live a life that is
pleasant, worthy, and useful on this
planet. (173, 44)
65. The Third Era, that in which you
are living, is the time of clarification
of the great Mysteries. Wise men and
theologians will have to correct their
knowledge in the face of the truth that
I am revealing to you.
66. This is the time when man will
open his eyes to perceive the light of
My wisdom, for the light made
Doctrine will resurrect him spiritually
to the true life. (290, 51 - 52)
Chapter 7 - Influence and Significance of the Spiritual Teachings
80
67. Men will try to deny the truth of
My revelation, but the deeds, trials,
and events will give voice and
testimony to the truth that shall arrive
on the lips of My people, as the great
message of the Third Era. By means
also of these writings My Doctrine
will be spread over the world, for it is
a legitimate means, which since early
times I have inspired in My envoys. I
only ask that you be jealous of My
truth and that you carry it to the hearts
[of men] in the cleanest and simplest
form. (258, 6)
68. In that Second Era My coming as
a man was only believed in by a few
hearts; nonetheless, humanity later
took the birth of the Savior as the
beginning of a new era; and so too in
this time, the beginning of My
communication with you, or the
coming as the Holy Spirit, shall be
seen tomorrow as the beginning of
another era.
69. Listen to what Christ, the
manifestation of Divine love, tells
you: Peace to men of good will, to
those who love truth and spread the
seed of love. (258, 41 - 43)
My peace be with you !
81
Chapter 8 - The New Communities of Christ:
Disciples, Apostles, Divine Envoys
Light and Shadow in the
Congregations of the Revelation
1. If My Word had been given to all
nations, the majority would have
rejected it, for vanity, materialism,
and the false grandeur of men would
not have accepted a doctrine that
speaks of spirituality, humility, and
brotherhood. The world is not yet
prepared to understand love, and not
all, therefore, would have been
sensitive to My presence in this form.
2. Just as Christ, in that time sought
a hollow of rock to be born as a man,
today I found this corner of the earth
that was disposed to hear Me, and
which bears a similarity to the grotto
and manger that received the Son of
God on that blessed night. (124, 13 -
14)
3. The example of this humble
people that choose their way without
ministers to guide them and that
worship Me without ceremonies or
symbols, will be a wakeup call to
those who sleep their night of
centuries, and it shall be a stimulus for
the regeneration and purification of
many of My children. (94, 39)
4. Under the shade of My Doctrine
no throne will be built from which
exalted men can dominate the spirits
of their brothers; none will be
crowned or covered in purple robes to
try to occupy the place of the Lord,
nor shall there arise confessors to
judge, pardon, condemn, and pass
sentence on the acts of humanity.
Only I can judge a spirit from a just
and perfect bench.
5. I may send those who correct,
teach, and guide, but I shall not send
any to judge and punish. I have sent
those who have been shepherds to
humanity, but neither lords nor
Fathers. The only Father of the spirit
is I. (243, 13 - 14)
6. I will form in this time a people
who are jealous of My Law, loving of
truth, and of charity. This people will
be like a mirror in which others may
see reflected the errors into which
they have fallen. They shall not be the
judge of any, but their virtues, works,
and dutifulness will touch the spirit of
all who cross their path, and will show
the path to all who do not comply
with My Law.
7. When this people are strong and
numerous, they will attract to
themselves the attention of their
fellow men, for the cleanliness of
their works and the sincerity of their
worship must surprise humanity; then
men will ask: Who are these, who
without temples know to pray in this
way? Who has taught these multitudes
to pray, adoring their God without
feeling the need to raise altars for His
worship? From where have these
travelers and missionaries come, who
like the birds neither sow, nor reap,
nor spin, and yet subsist?
Chapter 8 - The New Communities of Christ: Disciples, Apostles, Divine Envoys
82
8. And I shall say to them: This
people, poor and humble, but jealous
of My Law, and strong against the
passions of the world have not been
prepared by any man. These
multitudes that enjoy doing good, who
are illuminated by inspiration and
know how to carry to the heart the
message of peace and the touch of
comfort, have not been taught by
teachers or ministers of any cult of
earth: For it is true what I tell you,
that in this time, there does not exist
one single man in your world who
could teach the worship of God with
true spirituality. Truth does not reside
in the splendor of rites, nor in wealth
or earthly power, but being humble,
seeks as its temple the clean, noble,
and sincere hearts who love that
which is pure. Where are these hearts?
(154, 12 - 14)
9. I have called many of My children
to be given different responsibilities,
various missions within this Work,
and I have given them according to
your gifts and advancement, and with
all of these I have formed My people,
My new apostolate.
10. To some I have given the work
of guides, and so that their work is not
arduous and distressing, I have
divided the people into congregations.
11. To others I have given the gift of
acting as spokesmen, so that they
might transmit My inspiration, made
human word, to these multitudes that
gather to receive this wonder.
12. I have given the privilege of
seeing to some, to make of them
prophets and proclaim through them
what is to come.
13. And those who have received the
mission of being the supporting pillars
are those who must help the people in
their pilgrimage, and who must be for
the guides as was the Cyrene [Simon
of Cyrene, who helped Christ], and
help to carry the cross of their
multitudes.
14. Others have been graced with the
gift of faculty and these, as
instruments of the Spiritual World
have been prepared to transmit its
messages, the analysis of My Work,
and also as possessors of the sacred
balm of healing, of comforting the
sick, so that united, they may pour
forth charity to the needy by means of
healthy spiritual emanations.
15. I have named golden scribe, He
who must print My revelations,
teachings, and prophecies of this time
in the Book that I shall leave you.
16. I have given the responsibility of
being cornerstones to those who are to
stand as examples of firmness,
stability, and strength among the
people. In these, their word, comfort,
and example will be invariable, like
rock.
17. Now that this stage of My
communication is at its end, I am
judging all the charges, and all those
chosen to receive such great missions.
I am calling them to enter into
profound study and to know the
results of their works. I accompany all
in this hour of meditation. (335, 27 -
28)
Chapter 8 - The New Communities of Christ: Disciples, Apostles, Divine Envoys
83
18. As in all times, many have been
called, but few chosen; for I choose
only those who are timely in the
fulfillment of their missions, and to
the rest I give light, so that they may
know how to await the time when
they too are chosen.
19. How many there are, who have
only been called without it being time
to choose them for a responsibility,
and who have taken part among My
laborers and disciples without their
spirits having had the evolution
indispensable to withstand the weight
of this cross, nor their understanding
the light required to permit the entry
of My inspiration. What have many of
them done, once they were within the
ranks of the chosen? They have
profaned and poisoned the
environment, contaminating others
with their evil inclinations, lying,
sowing discord, and profiting from
My Name and the gifts that I have
deposited in My disciples.
20. Do not attempt to find out who
those individuals are because you will
not succeed. Only I, the Divine Judge,
know who those individuals are and I
tell them through their conscience: Be
vigilant and pray, so that you will
repent for your mistakes before it is
too late. If you repent, I promise you
that I will sit you spiritually at My
table and there will be a festival of
reconciliation and forgiveness. (306,
53 - 55)
21. That is the truth, not all love My
work, even while it is amongst them,
nor have all arrived at understanding
it, for which reason I can tell you that
some are of My work, and others do
their own.
22. Those who come to Me
following from love, love My Word,
for they know it corrects them without
coming to wound them, and points out
their defects without shaming them.
This makes them persevere in
perfecting their practices.
23. Those who, instead of trying to
reach that perfection, pursue only
adulation, superiority, praise, or a
means of living, rather than seeking
perfection of the spirit, are not
resisting My word when it points out
their defects, so they have to create a
work distinct from mine, in which
they will be free to do their own will.
They have not understood that the
entire multitude need do in the time
that My manifestation lasts, is to hear
Me with the greatest elevation, so that
later they can analyze My message.
(140, 72 - 74)
24. I have said that the time of
confusion, of disobedience, will
arrive, in which the laborer will raise
up saying that My communication
through human understanding will not
cease; but the moment will come
when My Word is fulfilled, though
man tries to interject to My Will.
25. How many errors in the way
have been committed by many of
those in whom I have confided a
responsibility and a gift? How much
incomprehension I behold being
unleashed among My children after
the year 1950.
Chapter 8 - The New Communities of Christ: Disciples, Apostles, Divine Envoys
84
26. With the lack of understanding
and foolishness of man, they hold
back My charity, authority, and grace,
and are [therefore] outside the true
path of the Law, of harmony, and of
truth.
27. Once again, Israel will not know
itself, tribe from tribe; once again they
will tear and wish to trample the clean
and pure Law I gave into their hands;
once again Israel will seek the ancient
paths to fall into idolatry and
fanaticism; they will look to the sects
and enter into confusion, and
darkness, and will be find satisfaction
in the false and florid words given to
them by men.
28. The men of the religions and
sects, upon seeing that Israel is
divided, that Israel does not know
itself and is weakened, will seek
motives to tear away this priceless
jewel, to tear away the arc of this new
covenant and say the next day that
they are the true envoys before
humanity and the representatives of
My Divinity. (363, 47 – 49, 51 and
57)
Words of Warning to those who
hear of the Spiritualist Work
29. I wish that when My
communication has concluded, you
have a well defined idea of that which
is in this Doctrine, so that you may
duly fulfill it, for up to this moment
the true spiritualists have not arisen
among the multitudes that have heard
My Word. Until now it has not been
Spiritualism that you have practiced,
but rather a version of My Work as
you have conceived of it, but which is
very far from true spirituality.
30. You will need to arm yourselves
with the strength to accept that which
has confused you; you must rise to
amend your practices, seeking with a
will that among you the truth and
purity of My Doctrine shine forth.
31. Do not fear to change the
outward part of your practices and
worship without altering the essence
of My teachings. (252, 28 - 30)
32. Make use of the time that you
still have to hear My teaching, so that
it may fill you with light and grace, so
that you may advance firmly toward
spirituality, an advance that you have
not made because of having continued
within a cult of materialism and error.
33. Until now, you have lacked faith
to renounce your forms, your rituals,
and your symbols, to seek Me
spiritually among the infinite. You
have lacked the courage to be
spiritualists, and have conceived a
way of seeming spirituality, hiding
behind it your materialism and errors.
34. I do not wish you to be
hypocrites, but sincere lovers of the
truth; it is therefore that I speak with
great clarity, so that you may cleanse
your lives and show the world the
truth that is in this Work. Do you say
you are spiritualists? Then be so in
truth. Do not speak of My Doctrine
while you do all that is contrary to it,
for with your acts you will only
confuse humanity.
35. Above all, know that which is
My Work; what My Law means, what
Chapter 8 - The New Communities of Christ: Disciples, Apostles, Divine Envoys
85
your calling is, and how you must
carry it out, so that if you do not have
a guide worthy of marking your steps,
you may be guided by conscience and
by the knowledge of My Doctrine that
you have acquired. Thus you cannot
blame another for any misstep or
error. (271, 27 - 30)
36. From the time that My
communication by means of human
understanding began, I have wished
you to put into practice your gifts, and
that you begin your spiritual mission
so that when the day of My departure
arrives, you will have traveled part of
the road and not feel too weak to
begin the fulfillment of such a delicate
mandate.
37. Some have known how to
interpret the Divine idea and have
made efforts to bring it to fulfillment,
but there are also those, and they are
the majorities, who have
misunderstood the meaning of this
Work.
38. These are the errors that I come
to bring to the attention of this people,
for I do not wish those who have been
so long instructed, to be mocked by
humanity. (267, 65 - 67)
39. Some are only interested in the
essence of My Word, and yearn for
the progress and evolution of the
spirit, while others are pleased by My
outward worship, so that while the
former enjoyed receiving teachings
about spirituality, others were
displeased that their errors were
mentioned.
40. Only I know who will respond to
Me for all that which should have
been known through My spokesmen,
but has been withheld. (270, 8 - 9)
41. Meditate, and understand that the
unification that you need is spiritual,
and that you will attain it when you
rise above your passions and
fanaticism.
42. How can you create peace when
each goes forth proclaiming his own
teachings as the only truth while
combating that of all others as false?
43. Fanaticism is darkness,
blindness, and ignorance, and its fruits
can never be those of the light. (289, 8
- 10)
44. Truly I tell you, that if you do
not unite, as is My will, humanity will
disperse you, and will thrust you from
their breast if it is seen that your lives
are distant from that which you
preach.
45. What will happen if men
discover that in each place there exists
a different form of worship, and a
different way of practicing My
Doctrine?
46. I entrust to you the three last
years of My communication so that
you may work for the union of this
people, a unification that includes that
which is spiritual as well as the
outward, so that your labor, full of
harmony and equality, may be the
greatest proof that all of you, in
various places and different lands,
have been taught by one single
Master: God. (252, 69 - 71)
Chapter 8 - The New Communities of Christ: Disciples, Apostles, Divine Envoys
86
The True Apostolate - The New
Apostles
47. Do not attempt to put limits on
this Work, which is universal and
infinite, nor must you put limits on
your own spiritual development, for
the farther you go on the road of good
works and study, the greater the
revelations you will receive. You will
see the Divine Work arise from that
which is simplest, you will see it
manifested in all that has been
created, and you will feel it throb
within your being.
48. This is the simplicity with which
I come to teach the disciple of
spiritualism, so that He too may be
simple, like his Master. Let the
disciple persuade and convert by the
truth of his words and the power of
his works, without seeking to surprise
anyone with Mysterious powers or
extraordinary faculties.
49. The true disciple will be great
because of his simplicity. He will
understand his Master, and at the
same time make himself understood
by his brothers. (297, 15 - 17)
50. The disciple of Jesus is He who
subjugates with the persuading and
consoling word, who raises up and
resuscitates, making of the defeated
victors over themselves and over
adversity.
51. The apostle of Christ cannot
shelter selfishness in his heart,
thinking only of his own suffering and
worries, but neglects his own to
concern himself with his brothers,
with absolute confidence that nothing
is neglected; for the Father
immediately helps those who have
abandoned their own worries to assist
a child of the Lord that needs spiritual
sustenance. And He who has known
how to forget himself to bring a smile
of hope, comfort to their sadness, or a
drop of balsam for their pain, upon
returning home, shall find himself
illuminated by the light that is
benediction, joy, and peace. (293, 32 -
33)
52. "Many times have I said that you
and those are the same ones. Come to
taste the wine again and eat of the
bread at My table; eat of the Lamb,
He is the origin of life. Come, you
who hunger, thirst and are unclean; be
strengthened and eat your fill, for then
I will say to you: Pick up your cross
and follow Me. At My table of this
period an apostle will be the man as
well as the woman; I will seat your
spirit at this table".
53. "It has been the women who
during this period have raised the
spiritual banner before the multitudes;
they have been leaving along the
pathway the imprints of the apostle
zealous of the Fathers Law."
54. "In My new apostleship the
woman shall be alongside man and
there will be no age barrier in order to
serve Me; the same will it be for the
adult as well as the child or the elder;
the same for the maiden as well as the
mother; because again I say to you
that it is your spirit whom I seek, and
that He has left his infancy a long
time ago". (69, 16 - 17)
Chapter 8 - The New Communities of Christ: Disciples, Apostles, Divine Envoys
87
55. If I told you in the Second Era
that My Kingdom is not of this world,
now I tell you that neither is yours, for
this dwelling place, as you well know,
is a temporary one for mankind.
56. I come to show you the true life,
that which has never been based in
materialism. For that reason men will
once again rise up against My eternal
Doctrine, with My same teaching as
always, which is of love, wisdom, and
justice, though that will not be
immediately understood. Humanity
will once again judge Me, and once
again put Me upon the cross, yet I
know that My teaching must pass
through this to be recognized and
loved. I know that My tenacious
persecutors will later be My faithful
and unselfish sowers, for I will give
them very great proofs of My truth.
57. That Nicodemus of the Second
Era, a prince among the priests, who
sought out Jesus to converse with him
about wise and profound teachings,
shall arise again in this time, to
serenely analyze My Work and
convert himself to it.
58. That Saul, called Paul, who after
persecuting Me furiously, became one
of My great apostles, shall appear
again in My road, and from
everywhere shall come forth My new
disciples, some fervent, others
selfeffacing. The present hour is of
great importance; the time of which I
am speaking comes upon you. (173,
45 - 48)
59. The multitudes need those who
know how to be strong during ordeals,
those who are accustomed to the great
battles of the world and of the spirit.
They are the ones who will be able to
guide and lead humanity, for in their
hearts there will be no desire to
control or dominate anyone. There
will be no selfishness in their hearts,
for when they elevate themselves to
communicate with the Lord they will
feel his charity and love, so that they
might offer that same charity to their
brothers. (54, 53)
The Envoys of God in all the World,
and in All Times
60. The peoples of the earth have
never been short of spiritual light.
Truly I tell you, it is not only this
people that have had prophets and
envoys; for I have sent emissaries to
all [peoples] to awaken them.
61. You may judge their words by
the light and truth of their doctrines,
as well as by their similarity to what I
have revealed to you.
62. Some arrived before the coming
of the Messiah, and others after My
presence as a man, but all have carried
a spiritual message to men.
63. Those doctrines, like mine, have
suffered profanations, for when their
essence has not been altered, they
have been mutilated or hidden from a
mankind hungry for truth.
64. One single truth and one single
morality is what have been revealed to
men through the envoys, prophets and
servants; why do the different peoples
have different concepts of truth,
morality, and life?
Chapter 8 - The New Communities of Christ: Disciples, Apostles, Divine Envoys
88
65. That truth, adulterated through
time by humanity, will be
reestablished, and its light will shine
with such strength that it will seem to
mankind like something new, though
it is the same light that has always
illuminated the way of evolution for
the children of My Divinity.
66. Many are those who have died
for speaking the truth, many, too,
have been subjected to torments for
not wishing to still the voice that
speaks inside them.
67. Do not think that heaven has sent
only those that speak of the spirit, or
of love and morality; no, it has also
sent those who offered the fine fruits
of science, those bits of knowledge
that give light to the lives of men, that
lighten their burdens and relieve their
distress. All of them have been My
envoys.
68. There are others too, who
without bringing moral spiritual
doctrines, or scientific revelations,
bring the message that teaches one to
sense and admire the beauties of
creation, they are messengers of mine
who have the mission of bearing
delight and balm for the hearts of
those who weep.
69. All of them have drunk of the
bitterness of seeing the
incomprehension of a world that is
blind to the truth, of humanity
insensible of beauty and good.
Nonetheless, if I have told you that in
this Era all will be restored, if I have
proclaimed that all will return to its
proper path and that all My teachings
will be restored to their original
essence, you may believe that a time
of spiritual splendor in this world is
near, though you should not forget
that before that happens, all will be
judged and purified. (121, 9 - 16)
70. Each time that some revelation
was to come to men, I have sent
forerunners, or prophets, to prepare
them so that the light may be seen by
them. However, do not believe that
only those who bring messages for the
spirit are My envoys; no, disciples,
any who sows good in any of its
forms is My envoy.
71. These emissaries can be found in
every walk of your lives, in religions,
science, and among those who
govern, as well as those who provide
good teachings.
72. My true servant never departs
from the path that should be followed,
but prefers to die on that road before
turning back. His example is the seed
of light in the life of his fellows, and
his works are examples for others. Oh,
if mankind only knew how to
understand the messages that I send to
you through them. But it is not so, for
there are many men, who having
delicate missions in the world, turn
their eyes from these great examples,
and take the road that best pleases
them. (105, 13 - 15)
73. Moreover, what have you done,
humanity, with those men I have sent
to remind you of My way, the way of
faith, which is wisdom, love, and
peace?
Chapter 8 - The New Communities of Christ: Disciples, Apostles, Divine Envoys
89
74. You wished to know nothing of
their messages, combating against
them with that hypocritical faith that
you have as your theories and
religions.
75. Your eyes did not wish to behold
the light that was brought to you as a
message of love by each of My
envoys, be He called prophet, seer,
enlightened one, doctor, philosopher,
scientist, or shepherd.
76. These men have shone forth, and
you have not wished to see their light,
they have gone ahead of you, and you
have not wished to follow their steps.
77. They left for you an example of
the road of sacrifice, pain, and of
charity, and you feared to imitate
them, not knowing that the pain of
those who follow Me is a gladness of
the spirit, a road of flowers, and a
horizon full of promise.
78. They did not come to smell the
aroma of the flowers of earth, nor to
intoxicate themselves with the fleeting
pleasures of the world, because the
aspiration of their spirit was already
not toward the impure, but toward that
which is more elevated.
79. They suffered, but they did not
seek consolation, for they knew that
they had come to give it. They
expected nothing of the world, for
they were awaiting, at the end of the
struggle, the joy of beholding the
resurrection of the faith and the life of
the spirits of all those who had died to
truth.
80. Who are these beings of whom I
speak to you? I speak of all those who
have brought to you messages of
light, of love, of hope, of health, of
faith, and of salvation. The name they
used does not matter, nor does the
road where you saw them appear, nor
the title they bore on earth. (263, 18 -
24)
81. It is necessary that I tell you one
more time that this people, that is
forming around My manifestation is
not a people that the Father marks by
loving more than other people of the
earth, but rather, if the Lord has
turned his gaze upon them, it is
because He has formed them with
spirits that have been in the world
each time that a new Divine revelation
descended. They are spiritual children
of that people of Israel: a people of
prophets, envoys, seers, and
patriarchs.
82. Who better than they could
receive Me in this time, understand
My manifestation, and testify to the
fulfillment of My promises? (159, 51
- 52)
83. I have descended to the bosom of
the people of Israel, establishing the
greatest number of them in this nation
(Mexico), the others disseminated to
all the nations, sent by Me, and with
them I have communicated spiritually.
These are My chosen ones, they who
have kept faithful to Me, who have
not contaminated their hearts, and
whose spirits can perceive My
inspirations. Through their conduit I
am giving to the world a wealth of
wisdom. (269, 2)
Chapter 8 - The New Communities of Christ: Disciples, Apostles, Divine Envoys
90
84. Beloved children who have
arrived in small numbers, I tell you
truly: My perceptive gaze finds
everywhere My chosen ones, those
who feel in their spirits that now is the
time of My presence. They have not
heard My word as you have, but in
their spirits hear a voice that tells
them that I am once again amongst
humanity; that I have come spiritually
in the cloud. Some I will allow to
behold Me with the eyes of their
spirits, the others I will cause to feel
My love greatly, so that they feel the
presence of My Spirit. (346, 13)
85. Soon the intuitive, the inspired,
and the spiritually sensitive will arise,
giving testimony before the nations of
what they see, feel, hear, and receive
through their spirits. I tell you once
again that My people are not limited
to those who have heard Me through
these spokesmen; for I have sent My
servants to various parts of the earth
to prepare the way and to clean the
fields to which the sowers will come
later.
86. I strengthen and bless them, for
their labor is difficult, and their path
strewn with thorns. Ridicule and
mockery, calumny and impiety follow
them everywhere, but they, intuitive
and inspired, know they have been
sent by Me, and are willing to follow
the path to its end in fulfillment of
their mission. (284, 50 - 51)
87. I invite you to enter into My
Kingdom. I am summoning all
nations, but I know that not everyone
will listen.
88. "Humanity has extinguished its
lamp and walks in darkness. In those
places where there is confusion one of
My enlightened messengers will arise
to enlighten his surrounding; that
messenger is a spiritual guardian who
is alert and awaiting My signal to
awaken and move [humanity]."
89. Let the love of these envoys be a
fruitful seed planted in your heart. Do
not reject them if they present
themselves to you in outward poverty.
Listen to them, for they go in My
Name to offer you the perfect prayer,
to liberate you from the chains of
materialism that bind you, and to help
you attain the spiritual freedom that
elevates you to Me. (281, 33)
90. If any man should come among
you saying that He is the Christ again
made flesh, do not believe him; for
upon proclaiming to you that I would
return, I made you understand that
this would be in spirit. If any say to
you: "I am the envoy of God,"
mistrust them, for the true emissaries
will not brag nor shout of the mission
that I have entrusted to them, but will
give proof only by their works. Is it
not right that men say that a tree must
be known by its fruits?
91. I do not forbid that you try the
fruits of trees, but it is necessary that
you be prepared to distinguish the
good fruit from the bad.
92. Those who love truth I shall
place like lamps to light the path of
their brothers. (131, 5 - 7)
Chapter 8 - The New Communities of Christ: Disciples, Apostles, Divine Envoys
91
93. The times when you needed a
spiritual guide in this world have
passed, from this time forward all
who enter into this path will have no
other road but that of My Law, nor
any other guide than their conscience.
94. This does not mean that there
will cease to be men and women of
great light and strength who give aid
through their example, and with their
inspiration of the multitudes.
95. If it were not so I would have
sent to the earth spirits like Moses or
Elijah, to trace the road for you and
remind you of the Law at every step.
They help you; they watch over and
accompany you, no longer in a human
form, but from the spiritual.
96. Who sees them? None do, but if
you prepare, you will feel within your
being the presence of the great spirits
that have always been related to
humanity and had great missions to
fulfill there. (255, 40 - 41)
My peace be with you !

II. Retrospection of the First and Second Revelation
Chapter 9 - Stories and Personages of the People of Israel
The Story of Original Sin
1. The story of the first men that
inhabited earth was passed from
generation to generation until it was
written down in the Book of the First
Era. It is a living parable about those
first beings that populated the earth.
Their purity and innocence permitted
them to feel the caress of Mother
Nature, a warmth of friendship existed
between all beings, and complete
brotherhood between all creatures.
2. In a Divine parable, I inspired the
first men to begin to have knowledge
of their destiny, but the meaning of
My revelations was poorly
interpreted.
3. When you were told of the tree of
life, of the knowledge of Good and
Evil, of which man ate, I only wished
to make you understand that when
man comes to have sufficient
knowledge to distinguish between the
just and unjust, and began to be
responsible for his acts, from that time
He began to gather the fruits of his
works.
4. You know that God said to men:
"Grow, multiply, and replenish the
earth." That was the initial law that
you were given. Oh, people! Later,
the Father would not ask men only to
multiply, and that the species continue
to grow, but rather that their
sentiments are ever more elevated,
and that their spirits begin a broad
development and unfolding.
Moreover, if the first law were that of
the propagation of the human race,
how can you conceive of the Father
applying sanctions for obeying and
fulfilling His mandate? People, is it
possible that such a contradiction
could exist in your God?
5. Look at what material inter-
pretation men gave to a parable that
spoke only of the awakening of the
spirit in man; therefore, analyze My
teaching, and do not say any more that
you are paying the debt the first
inhabitants acquired for disobedience
to your Father. Have a more elevated
idea of Divine justice. (105, 45 - 46)
6. This is the time in which you can
understand Me when I tell you: Grow
and multiply, and replenish the
Universe with your good works and
elevated thoughts. I welcome all who
wish to come to Me, to all who seek
perfection. (150, 48 - 49)
Free Will and Original Sin
7. You say to Me that because of the
freedom of will you have fallen into
faults and errors. I also say that
through that gift you can infinitely
elevate yourselves beyond the point
from which you departed in the
beginning of your elevation.
8. In addition to the freedom of will I
endowed each spirit with My light in
its conscience so that no one would be
lost, but those who did not want to
Chapter 9 - Stories and Personages of the People of Israel
94
hear My voice or did not want to
penetrate into their innermost in
search of the spiritual light, were
quickly tempted by the countless
beauties of the human existence, they
lost the support of My Law for their
spirit and they had to stumble and fall.
9. Just one fault brought many
painful consequences and the fact is
that imperfection does not harmonize
with the Divine love.
10. Those who yielded and repented
returned immediately to the Father
and humbly asked Him to cleanse and
liberate them from their sins
committed, the Father received with
infinite love and charity, He
comforted their spirit, He sent them to
correct their faults and strengthened
them in their mission.
11. "Do not think that everyone
returned meek and repentant after the
first disobedience. No, many arrived
filled with arrogance or hate. Others,
with shame, realizing their guilt, tried
to justify their faults before Me, and
far from purifying themselves through
repentance and atonement, which is
proof of humility, they chose to create
for themselves a life of their own
choosing; outside of the laws which
My love dictates".
12. Then My justice manifested
itself, not to punish, but to correct
them, not to destroy, but to preserve
them eternally, providing them with
an ample opportunity to perfect
themselves.
13. How many of those first sinners,
still have not rid themselves of their
blemishes, because fall after fall, they
kept descending more and more into
the depths of an abyss, from which
only the practice of My Law can save
them. (20, 40 - 46)
The Flood
14. In the earliest times of humanity,
there was innocence and simplicity in
men, but as they multiplied, due to
their evolution and their free will,
their sins also continued to grow; and
rather than their virtues, it was their
frailty before My Law that developed
faster.
15. It was then that I prepared Noah
by communicating with him from
Spirit to spirit because I established
this type of communication with
mankind when man first came to
dwell on earth.
16. I said to Noah: "I will send a
great flood to earth to purify the spirit
of man of all his sins. Build on ark,
and tell your children, their wives, and
your grandchildren to go inside the
ark". Also place a pair of animals
from each specie on earth inside the
ark.
17. Noah was obedient to My
command, and the cataclysm arrived
in fulfillment of My word. The bad
seed was pulled up by its roots, and
the good seed conserved in My
granaries, with which I formed a new
humanity that bore within it the light
of My justice, and knew how to
comply with My Law and live
practicing good customs.
18. Perhaps do you believe that those
individuals who suffered painful
deaths perished both physically and
Chapter 9 - Stories and Personages of the People of Israel
95
spiritually? Truly I tell you, My
children, they did not. Those spirits
were saved by Me, and they awoke
before the judge of their own
conscience. They then were prepared
to return once again to the path of life
in order to progress spiritually. (302,
14 - 16)
The Unselfishness of Abraham
19. It will not always be necessary
for you to drain the cup of bitterness.
It will be enough for Me to see your
faith, your obedience, your purpose
and intentions to obey My
commandments, for Me to free you
from the most difficult moments of
your trials.
20. Remember that Abraham was
asked for the life of his son, Isaac,
who He loved much; and that the
patriarch, overcoming his pain and the
love He felt for his child, prepared
himself to sacrifice him as a proof of
obedience, faith, love, and humility
that you cannot yet understand. But
He was not permitted to consummate
the sacrifice of his son, because
already in the depths of his heart He
had proven his obedience to the
Divine Will, and that was enough. Oh,
how great was the rejoicing of
Abraham when his hand was held
back by a greater force, preventing
him from sacrificing Isaac. Oh, how
He blessed the name of his Lord and
marveled at his wisdom! (308, 11)
21. In Abraham and his son Isaac, I
gave you an image of what would be
the sacrifice of the Redeemer, when
He put the love that Abraham
professed for Me to the test, asking of
him that He sacrifice his son, his
beloved Isaac, by his own hand.
22. In that act, if you know how to
meditate upon it, you will find a
similarity to what later was the
sacrifice of My Only Son for the
salvation of the world.
23. Abraham was the representation
of God, and Isaac the image of Jesus;
at that moment the patriarch thought
that if the Lord asked him for the life
of his son, it was so that the blood of
the innocent might wash away the
failings of the people; and despite
loving deeply He who was the flesh of
his flesh, obedience to God, and
charity and love for his people were
stronger in him than the life of his
beloved son.
24. The obedient Abraham was
about to unleash the mortal blow at
his son, but at the moment when,
wracked with anguish, He raised his
arm to sacrifice him, My power
stopped him, ordering him to sacrifice
a lamb in place of his son, so that this
symbol would remain as a testimony
to love and obedience. (119, 18 - 19)
The Ladder to Heaven in Jacob's
Dream
25. Do you know what meaning is
contained in the ladder that Jacob
beheld in his dreams? That ladder
represents the life and evolution of the
spirits.
26. The body of Jacob slept at the
moment of revelation, but his spirit
was awake. He had ascended towards
Chapter 9 - Stories and Personages of the People of Israel
96
the Father, seeking prayer as the
means, and upon entering into the
regions of light, He came to receive a
celestial message that would remain
as a testament of revelations and
spiritual truths for his people, which is
all humanity, for Israel is not a
material, but a spiritual name.
27. Jacob saw the ladder with its
base on earth and its top touching the
sky; this shows that the road of
spiritual elevation that begins on earth
through the flesh, and ends up uniting
its light and essence with that of the
Father, apart from all material
influence.
28. The patriarch saw that by that
ladder angels ascended and
descended, representing the incessant
incarnation and disincarnation, the
continuous coming and going of the
spirits in search of light, or also on
their mission of restoration and
purification of themselves, to elevate
themselves a little more upon
returning to the spiritual world. It is
the road of spiritual evolution that
leads to perfection.
29. That is why Jacob beheld the
representative form of Jehovah at the
top of the ladder, indicating that God
is the goal of your perfection, of your
aspirations, and the supreme prize of
infinite joy as the compensation for
arduous struggle, prolonged suffering,
and perseverance in reaching the
bosom of the Father.
30. Amongst the vicissitudes and
trials, the spirit has always found the
opportunity to earn merit for the
ascent. There, in each trial, the Ladder
of Jacob has been always represented,
inviting you to climb one more step.
31. A great revelation, oh disciples,
was that, for in it the spiritual life was
spoken of at a time when the
awakening of the spirit to the worship
of the Divine, the elevated, the pure,
the good and true had barely begun.
32. That message could not have
been for one single family, or even for
one single people; its essence was
spiritual and therefore was universal.
For that very reason, the voice of the
Father said to Jacob: "I am the Lord
God of Abraham thy Father, and the
God of Isaac: the land whereon thou
lie, to thee I will give it, and to thy
seed; and thy seed shall be as the dust
of the earth, and thou shall spread
abroad to the west, and to the east,
and to the north, and to the south: and
in thee and in thy seed shall all the
families of the earth be blessed." (315,
45 - 50)
Joseph and his Brothers
33. Joseph, son of Jacob, had been
sold by his own brothers to some
merchants who were traveling to
Egypt. Joseph was still young but had
already given evidence of a great gift
for prophecy; envy took charge of his
brothers, who got rid of him believing
that they would never see him again;
but the Lord, who watched over his
servant, protected him and made him
important to the Pharaoh of Egypt.
34. Many years later, when the
world was stricken by drought and
hunger, Egypt, guided by the counsel
and inspirations of Joseph, had stored
Chapter 9 - Stories and Personages of the People of Israel
97
enough provisions to withstand the
trial.
35. It was then that the sons of Jacob
arrived in Egypt to search for food.
Great was their consternation when
they recognized that their brother,
Joseph, had become minister and
counselor to the Pharaoh. Upon seeing
him, they fell from their feet to their
knees, repenting of their
transgression, and recognized that the
prophecies of their brother had been
realized. He who had been given up
for dead was there before them full of
power, virtue, and wisdom. The
prophet whom they had sold, was
showing them the truth of the
prophecy that the Lord had placed on
his lips as a child. The brother they
had humiliated, selling him, was
pardoning them. Do you understand,
people? Now you know why I have
said to you this day: When will you
recognize Me as Joseph was
recognized by his brothers? (90, 2)
The People of Israels Pilgrimage
with Moses through the Desert
36. In the First Era, Moses was at the
head of Israel in guiding them through
the desert for forty years to the land of
Canaan; but from disobedience, lack
of belief, and materialism, some
blasphemed, others reneged, and yet
others rose in rebellion. Moses,
confronted with such a situation, told
them with prudence and patience not
to offend the Supreme Will, but to be
humble and obedient before that
Father who, without considering their
disobedience, had made manna fall
from the sky and water spring forth
from the rocks. (343, 53)
37. "Moses had offered sufficient
proof that the true God was with him,
but the people wanted more evidence.
The messenger, taking the multitudes
to the slopes of Mount Sinai called
upon the power of Jehovah; and the
Lord, hearing him, granted him great
proofs and miraculous things". (29,
32)
38. "The people wanted to hear and
to see the One to whom Moses
listened and the One whom He
perceived through his faith. I
manifested Myself to those people in
a cloud and had them listen to My
voice for hours and hours, but it was
so potent that men felt themselves
dying of fear; their bodies shook and
their spirits trembled before that voice
of justice. Then the people begged
Moses to plead to Jehovah not to
speak any longer to his people, for
they could no longer listen to him.
They recognized that they were still
too small to communicate directly
with the Eternal One". (29, 34)
39. Forge your spirit in the great
combats of life, just as did that people
of Israel in the desert. Do you know
how great is the desert, which with its
harsh sun and burning sands appears
to have no end? Do you know what
loneliness, and silence are, and having
to maintain vigilance because enemies
watch? Truly, I tell you, it was there
in the desert that the people knew the
Chapter 9 - Stories and Personages of the People of Israel
98
greatness it was to believe in God, and
learned to love him. What could that
people hope for from the desert?
Nonetheless, they had all: bread,
water, a home in which to rest, and an
oasis and sanctuary wherein to elevate
their grateful spirits toward the Father
and Creator. (107, 28)
The Struggle of Elijah for the True
God
40. In the First Era Elijah came to
earth and found that humanity was
practicing idolatry and did not believe
in God. The world was being
governed by kings and priests, and
both had departed from the obedience
to Divine laws and were guiding their
people along paths of confusion and
falsehood. They had erected altars to
different gods which they worshiped.
41. Elijah appeared in that time and
spoke to them with words of justice,
telling mankind: Open your eyes and
see that you have disrespected the law
of the Lord. You have forgotten the
example of his messengers and have
fallen into a worship which is
unworthy of the living and powerful
God. It is necessary that you awaken,
that you see and recognize him.
Eliminate your idolatry and lift your
eyes above every figure with which
you have represented him.
42. Elijah heard My voice which
said to him, depart from the wicked
people of that nation. Tell them that
rain will not fall for a long time, not
until you order it so in My name.
43. And Elijah said, it will not rain
until My Lord appoints the hour and
My voice orders it. And thus saying
He departed.
44. "From that day forth the land
was dry; many normally rainy seasons
passed without rain. There were no
signs of water in the sky; the fields
felt the drought; the cattle began to
perish; men unsuccessfully dug into
the earth looking for water to quench
their thirst; rivers dried up; overcome
by the rays of the red hot sun, the
grass withered; and men cried out to
their gods asking for rain to return to
them in order to sow and harvest the
seed which fed them".
45. Elijah had departed by Divine
mandate. He prayed and awaited the
will of his Lord. Men and women
began to leave their lands in search of
new places which did not lack water.
Wherever one looked there were
caravans, and all the land was dry.
46. Years went by, and one day
when Elijah elevated his spirit to the
Father, He heard His voice saying,
seek out the king, and when I give
you the sign, the waters once again
will fall over the land.
47. "Filled with obedience, Elijah
humbly went before the king of that
nation and showed his power before
the worshipers of the false gods; after
that, He spoke about the Father and of
his power; then the signs appeared;
lightning, thunder, and fire were seen
in the sky, followed by an abundance
of rain. Once again the fields became
green and the trees were filled with
fruit, and there was abundance of
many things on earth".
Chapter 9 - Stories and Personages of the People of Israel
99
48. Faced with this proof, the people
awakened and remembered their
Father who called and warned them
through Elijah. (53, 34 - 39)
The Twelve Tribes of Israel
49. Do not believe that prophets,
forerunners, and spirits of light have
existed only in the bosom of the
people of Israel; to other peoples also
I have sent some of these, but men
took them as gods, not as envoys, and
under their teachings created religions
and cults.
50. The people of Israel did not
understand the mission they had with
the other peoples, and slept in a bed of
blessings and complacency.
51. The Father had formed them as a
perfect family in which one tribe had
the mission of defending the people
and maintaining peace, another
worked the earth, and another were
fishermen and navigators. To yet
another was entrusted spiritual
worship, and so on; each one of the
twelve tribes that made up the people
carried out a different mission that
together served as an example of
harmony. And truly, I say to you, the
spiritual gifts that you possessed in
those first times, you have still. (135,
15 - 16)
The Prophets and First Kings of
Israel
52. The prophets spoke with great
truth, they came to earth almost
always in times of great confusion and
straying, admonishing the peoples,
inviting them to repentance, and to
make amends, proclaiming great trials
of justice if they did not turn back to
the good, and other times predicting
blessings for observation and
obedience to the Divine Law.
53. But, what those prophets spoke
of was an exhortation toward the
practicing of good, justice, and
respect for one another. They did not
come revealing the life of the spirit,
its destiny and evolution; not even
Moses himself, who I chose to be
made My representative and through
whose channel I gave the Law for all
time, spoke of the spiritual life.
54. The Law of the Father
encompasses wisdom and justice,
teaches men to live in peace, to love
and respect one another, and make
yourselves worthy before Me, as men;
but Moses did not show humanity that
which is beyond the threshold of
bodily death, nor what the restitution
of the disobedient spirits is, or the
prize for those that are prudent and
jealous of their mission.
55. Later, David reigned, full of gifts
and inspiration, and in his moments of
elevation, in his ecstasy He heard the
hymns and spiritual songs with which
He formed the psalms to invite the
people of Israel to pray and give the
best offerings of their hearts in tribute
to the Lord. Yet David, with all his
love and inspiration, could not reveal
to the people the marvelous existence
of the spirits, nor their evolution or
their goals.
56. And again Solomon, who
succeeded him in his reign, and who
also showed the great gifts of wisdom
Chapter 9 - Stories and Personages of the People of Israel
100
and power that had been given to him,
and for which He was loved and
admired, and whose counsel,
judgments and proverbs are still
remembered today, if his people had
approached him to ask: How is the
spiritual life? What is beyond death?
What is the spirit? Solomon, with all
his wisdom, could not have answered.
(339, 12 - 15)
My peace be with you !
101
Chapter 10 - When the Time Came
Prophecies
1. Your Father prepared everything
for the Word of God to dwell among
humanity and to show it the path of its
restitution with sublime examples of
his love.
2. First He inspired the prophets who
announced the form in which the
Messiah would come to the world,
what his work would be, and his
suffering and death as a man, so that
those who knew the prophecies would
immediately recognize Christ when
He appeared on earth.
3. Centuries before My presence
through Jesus, the Prophet Isaiah said:
“Therefore, the Lord will give you
this sign. For behold the Virgin will
conceive and give birth to a child who
will be called Immanuel, which means
God is with you.” With this prophecy,
among others, He announced My
coming.
4. Many centuries before My arrival,
David, with songs filled with pain and
prophetic meaning, sang of the
sufferings of the Messiah during the
crucifixion. In those psalms, He
speaks of one of My seven words on
the cross. He announces the contempt
with which the multitudes would lead
Me to the sacrifice, the phrases of
mockery the men would use on
hearing Me say that the Father was in
Me, the solitude which My body
would experience before human
ingratitude, all the torments to which I
would be subjected, and even the way
in which they would cast lots for My
clothing.
5. Each one of My prophets came to
announce My coming, to prepare
paths, and to give precise signs so that
no one would be confused when the
day came. (40, 1 - 5)
The Waiting of the Jewish People
for the Messiah
6. The world in this Era has not
known how to wait for Me as did the
people of Israel in that Second Era.
My great prophets had proclaimed a
Messiah, a Savior, the Son of God,
who would come to liberate the
oppressed and enlighten the world
with the light of the Word; and the
more that people suffered, the more
they wished for the arrival of the
promised one; the more they drank
from the cup of humiliation and
oppression, the more they yearned for
the presence of the Messiah, and
everywhere they searched for signs
and indications that spoke of the
imminent arrival of their Savior.
7. From generation to generation,
from parents to children they passed
on the Divine promise that for much
time made the chosen people of the
Lord watch and pray.
8. Finally, I arrived among My
people, but not all knew how to
recognize Me; for although all
awaited Me, some did so with
spirituality and others through a
materialistic interpretation.
Chapter 10 - When the Time Came
102
9. But for Me sufficed the purity and
love of those who felt My presence
and looked at the Reign of Heaven in
the light of My Word to believe in My
manifestation; I sufficed with those
who followed Me faithfully, and those
who saw in Me their spiritual savior,
for it was they who gave testimony of
My truth after I left this world.
10. Although My message was for
all the peoples of the earth, I called to
the hearts of the chosen people so
they could become thereafter the
spokesmen for My Word. However, it
was not that people alone who felt My
presence. In other nations as well men
knew how to discover the signs of My
coming, and foresaw the time of My
presence on the earth. (315, 17 - 19)
11. Elijah appears before men in
each Era and in each Divine
revelation.
12. The Messiah had not yet come to
earth. It would not be long before He
would be born as a man. Meanwhile,
the spirit of the prophet had already
been incarnated in John, later called
the Baptist, to announce the nearness
of the Kingdom of Heaven, which
would be the presence of the Divine
Word, the Messiah, among humanity.
(31, 61 - 62)
Mary, the earthly Mother of Jesus
13. From the earliest time, the
patriarchs and prophets began to
speak of the Coming of the Messiah.
However the Messiah did not come
only in Spirit, but came to make
himself flesh, to make himself man,
and take the flesh from a woman.
14. "The Divine maternal essence
had to be made flesh as well, to be
made woman, like a flower of purity,
so that from its petals the scent, the
perfume of the Word of God that was
Jesus might arise." (360, 26)
15. In Nazareth there lived a pure
and tender flower, an unwed virgin
named Mary, who was precisely the
one announced by the Prophet Isaiah
to have the fruit of the true life sprout
from her womb.
16. Unto her came the spiritual
messenger of the Lord to tell her of
the mission which she brought to
earth, saying to her: "Hail, you are
highly favored; the Lord is with you.
Blessed are you among women".
17. The hour for the revelation of the
Divine Mystery had come, and all that
had been said about the presence of
the Messiah, the Savior, the
Redeemer, was about to be fulfilled.
But how few were the hearts who
were sensitive to My presence! How
few the spirits that were prepared to
recognize the Kingdom of Heaven in
the light of My truth! (40, 6 - 7)
The Adoration of the Baby Jesus
18. Humanity is remembering on
this day that some wise men from the
East came to the manger in Bethlehem
to adore the child - God. Today some
hearts ask Me: Lord, is it true that
those wise and powerful men bowed
down to you, recognizing your
divinity?
Chapter 10 - When the Time Came
103
19. Yes, My children, it was science,
power, and wealth that arrived to
prostrate themselves before My
presence.
20. There also were shepherds, and
their wives and children, with humble,
healthy, and simple presents, with
which they received and saluted the
Redeemer of the world and Mary as
the symbol of celestial tenderness.
They represented humility, innocence,
and simplicity, but those who held in
their parchments the prophecies and
promises that spoke of the Messiah
slept deeply without so much as a
premonition of who had arrived in the
world. (146, 9 - 11)
The Bond of Love between Jesus
and Mary
21. Jesus lived his childhood and
youth beside Mary enjoying her
motherly love. Mary, the Divine
Tenderness, offered much sweetness
to the Savior in his first years of life
in the world, for the hour would come
when He was to drink much
bitterness.
22. How is it possible for anyone to
think that Mary, who conceived Jesus
and lived with the Divine Master,
could be lacking in spiritual elevation,
in purity, and holiness?
23. Whoever loves Me will have to
first love all that is mine, all that I
love. (39, 52 - 54)
The Wisdom of Jesus
24. Men say in their books that Jesus
was among the Essenes seeking their
knowledge, but He who knew all and
who was before the worlds, had
nothing to learn from men; the Divine
had nothing to learn from the human.
Wherever I went, I taught. Can there
be anyone wiser than God on the
earth? Christ came from the Father to
bring Divine wisdom to men. Did
your Master not give you proof of
this, when at twelve years of age He
left the theologians, philosophers, and
doctors of the law of that time
astonished?
25. There are those who have
attributed to Jesus the weaknesses of
all men, and enjoy throwing upon the
Divine unstained man, the mud that
they carry in their own hearts. These
do not know Me.
26. If all the marvels of this Nature
that you behold are no more than the
material form of Divine thoughts, do
you not think that the body of Christ
was the materialization of a sublime
thought of love from your Father?
Therefore Christ loves you with the
Spirit, not the flesh. My truth cannot
be counterfeited, for it contains
absolute light and force. (146, 35 - 36)
27. In the Second Era, I gave you an
example of how you should await the
right hour to fulfill the mission that
brought you to earth.
28. I waited for My body, that of
Jesus, which was beheld by men, to
come to its best age, to fulfill the
Divine mission of teaching you love
through him.
29. "When that body, that heart, and
that mind had come to their full
development, My Spirit spoke
Chapter 10 - When the Time Came
104
through his lips, My wisdom crossed
his mind, My love rested in his heart,
and the harmony between that body
and the Divine light that illuminated it
was so perfect that many times I said
to the multitudes: "Who knows the
Son, knows the Father."
30. Christ took the truth of God to
teach it to men; He did not come to
take it from the world. Not from the
Greeks, the Chaldeans, the Essenes,
nor the Phoenicians, from none did
He come to take light. They did not
know the road to heaven, and I came
to show that which was not known on
earth.
31. Jesus had consecrated his
infancy and youth to charity and
prayer while the time approached to
proclaim the Reign of Heaven, the
Law of love and justice, and the
Doctrine of light and life.
32. Seek out the essence of My
Word poured out in that time, and say
to Me if it can have come from some
human doctrine or from any science
then known.
33. Truly, I tell you, if I really could
have found wisdom in those men, I
would have sought My disciples from
among them, and not from among the
rough and uneducated men with
whom I formed My apostolate. (169,
62 - 68)
The Incomprehension of the People
of Nazareth
34. I had to seek refuge in the bosom
of a people like the Egyptians, since
the people to whom I had come did
not know how to shelter Me, but that
was not the only pain that My heart
was to feel.
35. When I returned from Egypt to
live in Nazareth, at each step I was
ridiculed and wounded by their
phrases of unbelief and envy.
36. Although I performed miracles
and manifested My power and charity
among the people of Nazareth, they
rejected Me. No one believed in Me,
including those who had closely
known My life and My deeds.
37. "Thus, when it was time for Me
to begin My ministry, I told the
people of Nazareth prior to My
departure: 'Truly I tell you that there
is no prophet who will be believed in
his own country; therefore, it is
necessary for him to go elsewhere in
order for his words to be heard." (299,
70 - 72)
My peace be with you !
105
Chapter 11 - The Work of Jesus on earth
The Baptism in the Jordan; the
Time of Preparation in the Desert
1. Sweet Jesus, the humble Nazarene
who had awaited the hour in which
his lips would issue the Divine word,
sought out John, on the banks of the
Jordan, to receive from him the waters
of baptism. Did Jesus go in search of
purification? No, people. Did He go to
follow some rite? No. Jesus knew that
the hour had arrived in which He
ceased to be ; the hour in which the
man disappeared so that the Spirit
could speak, and He wished to mark
that hour by an act that would engrave
itself upon the memory of humanity.
2. The symbolic waters did not need
to cleanse any stain, but did serve as
an example to humanity, for they took
from that body all its ties to the world,
allowing melting itself in its will with
the spirit. It was then that those who
witnessed the act heard a humanized
Divine voice say: "This is My
beloved son, in whom I am well
pleased. Listen to Him".
3. As of that moment, Christ, the
Divine Word, manifested Himself
verbally through Jesus. Men referred
to Jesus as Rabbi, Divine Master,
Messenger, Messiah, and the Son of
God. (308, 25 - 27)
4. Later I went into the desert to
meditate, to teach you to enter into
communion with the Creator and
contemplate from the silence of the
desert the work that awaited Me, and
to teach you with it that to raise
yourselves to the fulfillment of the
work that I have entrusted you, first
you must purify yourself. Then, in the
silence of your being, seek direct
communion with your Father, and
thusly prepared, clean, strengthened,
and resolved, rise with firmness to the
fulfillment of your delicate mission.
(113, 9)
The Unity of Jesus Christ with God
5. I manifested Myself verbally three
years through Jesus and My words or
thoughts were never distorted or
misrepresented. He fulfilled My will
through each of his deeds. He did that
because Jesus and Christ were truly
one, similar to how Christ is truly One
with the Divine Father. (308, 28)
6. Behold the Father in Me, for truly
I tell you that Christ is One with the
Father from eternity, even before the
worlds came to be.
7. In the Second Era that Christ, who
is One with God, incarnated on earth
in the blessed body of Jesus and in
this way He came to be the Son of
God, but only as Man, for again I say
to you that only one God exists. (9,
48)
8. If I became man in Jesus, it was
not to give you the impression that
God has a human form, but to make
Myself be seen and heard by those
who were blind and deaf to all which
is Divine.
Chapter 11 - The Work of Jesus on earth
106
9. If the body of Christ had been the
body of Jehovah, in truth I say to you,
that He would not have bled or died.
His was a perfect body but human and
sensitive so that humanity could
behold Him and through Him hear the
voice of their Heavenly Father. (3, 82)
10. "There were two natures in
Jesus, one material, human, created by
My will in the virginal bosom of
Mary, which I named the Son of Man,
and the other Divine, the Spirit, who
was named the Son of God. In this
was the Divine Word of the Father,
who spoke in Jesus; the other was
only material and visible". (21, 29)
11. Christ, the Word of God, was He
who spoke through the mouth of
Jesus, the clean and pure man.
12. Jesus the man was born, lived,
and died, but, regarding the Christ, He
was not born, nor did He grow in the
world, nor did He die; for He is the
Voice of love, the Spirit of love, the
Divine Word, and the expression of
the wisdom of the Creator, who has
been always with the Father. (91, 28 -
29)
The Rejection of Jesus as the
awaited Messiah
13. In the Second Era I was not
recognized by all. When I appeared in
the bosom of the Jewish people, who
were already expecting Me because
they had seen the signs given by the
prophets fulfilled, My presence
confused many who had not known
how to interpret the prophecies. They
expected to see their Messiah as a
powerful prince who struck down his
enemies, who humiliated kings and
their oppressors, and who conceded
possessions and earthly goods to those
who awaited Him.
14. When this people beheld Jesus
poor and barefoot, covering his body
with a humble tunic, when they saw
him born in a stable and then working
as a humble craftsman, they could not
believe that He was the envoy of the
Father. It was necessary for the
Master to perform miracles and
tangible works for them to believe and
comprehend his Divine message.
(227, 12 - 13)
15. Always it has been the humble
and the poor who discover My
presence, for their understanding is
not filled with human theories to keep
them from clear judgment.
16. It happened also in the Second
Era, that the coming of the Messiah
having been proclaimed, when He
arrived, those who sensed him were
the simple of heart, those of humble
spirit and clean understanding.
17. The theologians had the books of
the prophets in their hands, and daily
repeated the words that proclaimed
the signs, the time, and the way in
which the Messiah would come;
nonetheless, they saw Me, and did not
recognize Me, heard Me, and denied
that I was the promised Savior; saw
My works, and knew only how to be
scandalized, when in truth, all of this
had been prophesized. (l50, 21 - 23)
Chapter 11 - The Work of Jesus on earth
107
18. Today they do not doubt Jesus,
but many argue and still deny My
Divinity. Some attribute to Me great
spiritual elevation, others claim that I
too walk along the path of the
evolution of the spirit to reach the
Father; but if that were so I would not
have come to tell you: "I am the way,
the truth, and the life." (170, 7)
Jesus as the Guest of Salvation
among the Humble People
19. "Your mission is to imitate your
Divine Master during His stay on
earth; remember that when I visited
the homes, I always left in them a
message of peace, I healed the sick, I
consoled the sorrowful with the
Divine power which love possesses".
20. "Never did I fail to enter a home
because I would not be believed there;
I knew that on leaving that place, the
heart of its dwellers would still be
overflowing with joy, for
unknowingly, their spirit had
glimpsed the Kingdom of Heaven,
through My teaching".
21. "At times I went to their hearts,
in others, they searched for Me; but in
all cases My love was the bread of
eternal life, that I delivered to them in
the essence of My word". (28, 3 – 5)
Jesus the Tireless Preacher
22. On some occasions when I
retired to the solitude of a valley, only
at moments did I remain alone,
because the multitudes, eager to hear
Me approached their Master in search
of the infinite gentleness of His gaze.
I received them, pouring upon those
men, women and children, the
tenderness of My infinite charity,
knowing that in each creature there
was a spirit that I had come to seek in
the world. Then I spoke to them about
the Kingdom of Heaven, which is the
true home of the spirit, in order for
them to soothe their anxieties with My
word and be strengthened with the
hope of attaining eternal life.
23. "There were occasions when
there was someone concealed among
the multitude who harbored the
intention of shouting denials of My
truth, assuring that I was a false
prophet; but My word would surprise
him before He had a chance to open
his lips. At other times, I permitted a
blasphemer to offend Me, to prove
before the multitude that the Master
was not disturbed by offenses, thus
giving them an example of humility
and love".
24. There were some who, ashamed
before My gentleness, left
immediately, repentant for having
offended with their doubts the One
who with His deeds was preaching the
truth; and as soon as an opportunity
presented itself, they came to Me,
they followed Me along the pathways,
tearful, moved by My word, not even
daring to speak and ask forgiveness
for the insults which they had
previously inflicted upon Me. I would
call them, caress them with My word,
and granted them a certain grace. (28,
6 - 7)
25. Listen: When I was on the earth
with you, men came to Me in
caravans, men of high rank covered in
Chapter 11 - The Work of Jesus on earth
108
vanity, and rulers who secretly sought
Me out to hear Me. Some admired
Me, but from fear did not admit it,
others denied Me.
26. To Me came multitudes formed
by men, women, and children, and
they listened to Me morning,
afternoon, and night. Always they
found the Master willing to provide
them with the word of God. They
forgot themselves as they beheld the
Master neglecting himself, and they
didn't know when He ate so that his
body would not waste away or his
voice weaken, for they did not know
that Jesus took strength from his own
spirit and within himself found
sustenance. (241, 23)
The Love of Jesus for Children and
Nature
27. There were times when, being
alone, I was discovered by children
who came to watch Me to offer Me
little flowers, tell Me some little
complaint and give Me their little
kisses.
28. Their mothers were embarrassed
on finding their little ones in My arms
hearing My Word; the disciples,
believing this to be a lack of respect
for the Master, tried to chase them
away from Me, it was then that I had
to say to them: "Let the children
come unto Me, for to enter into the
Kingdom of Heaven it is necessary to
have the purity, the
straightforwardness, and the
simplicity of children."
29. I enjoyed that innocence and
candor just as one is delighted to see a
flower bud about to open. (262, 62 -
64)
30. How many times did his
disciples find Jesus conversing with
the various creatures of the Universe!
How many times was the Master
found in dialog with birds, the fields,
or the sea! But they knew that the
Master had not lost his mind. They
knew that within their Master there
vibrated the Creating Spirit of the
Father; He who had given language to
all beings, He who understood all his
children, He who received praise and
love from all He had made.
31. How many times did his
disciples or the people see Jesus
caressing a bird or a flower, and
blessing them all. In his eyes was seen
a gaze of infinite love for all
creatures. The disciples guessed the
Divine joy of that Lord upon seeing
him surrounded in such splendor, and
of the wonders springing from his
wisdom; and many times too, they
saw tears in the eyes of the Master, as
He beheld the indifference of men to
such grandeur, the insensibility and
blindness of the human creatures in
the face of such splendor. Many times
they saw the Master cry when He
beheld the leper weeping because of
his leprosy; and men and women
complaining of their fate, even while
they were being held in the lap of
perfect love! (332, 25 - 26)
The Doctrine of Jesus
32. Jesus showed you charity,
meekness, and love. He came to teach
Chapter 11 - The Work of Jesus on earth
109
you to pardon your enemies from the
heart, to say to you that you must flee
from lies, and love truth; He made
manifest to you that for the evil as
well as the good done to you, you
must return always good. He taught
you to respect each one of your
fellows, and showed you how to find
the health of body and spirit and to
honor with your life the names of
your parents, so that you in your turn
may be honored by your children.
33. Here are some of the mandates
that must be followed by all who truly
wish to be Christians. (151, 35-36)
34. When the Scribes and Pharisees
observed the acts of Jesus and found
that they differed from their own, they
said that the Doctrine that He
preached went against the Law of
Moses. They were confusing the Law
with the traditions, but I proved that I
had not come to transgress the Law
that the Father had revealed to Moses,
but to fulfill it in word and deed.
35. Truly, I did set aside many of the
traditions of that people, for the time
had come for them to disappear in
order to give birth to a new Era of
more elevated teachings. (149, 42 -
43)
36. Remember that in the first
precept of the Law that Moses gave to
humanity it said, "Thou shall not
make any graven image, or any
likeness of any thing that is in heaven
to bow down to and adore." From that
day the road was clearly traced for
humanity, and for the spirit.
37. Moses did not limit himself to
transmitting the Ten Commandments
to men; He also instituted secondary
laws for human life, rites and symbols
within the spiritual worship, all
according to the steps that the human
spirit was then taking.
38. But the promised Messiah came
and erased traditions, rites, symbols,
and sacrifices, leaving intact only the
Law, and it was for this reason that
when the Pharisees said to the people
that Jesus went against the laws of
Moses, I responded that I did not go
against the Law, but rather in
fulfillment of it. If I came erasing
traditions, it was because in following
them the people had forgotten to
observe the Law. (254, 17 - 18)
39. The Divine yearning of Jesus
was for his disciples to become the
sowers of his redeeming Doctrine;
and so it was that in the supreme
moment of his last lecture to his
disciples, which was also the last
conversation between the Father and
his children, He said in a sweet voice:
"A new commandment I give unto
you: That ye love one another,"
kindling, from the light of that maxim,
humanity's greatest hope. (254, 59)
40. My Word in this Era shall not
erase those I said to you in the
Second. Times, centuries, and Eras
will fade, but the words of Jesus shall
not. Today I come to explain and
reveal the content of that which I told
you then, and which you did not
understand. (114, 47)
Chapter 11 - The Work of Jesus on earth
110
The "Miracles" of Jesus
41. So that this teaching would
kindle faith in the hearts [of men], I
accompanied it with miracles so that
the teaching would be loved by them,
and so that those miracles would be
more tangible, I performed them in
the bodies of the sick: I healed the
blind, the deaf, the mute, the
paralyzed, the possessed, and lepers. I
even raised the dead.
42. How many miracles of love
Christ performed among men! Their
names were gathered by history as an
example to future generations. (151,
37 - 38)
43. Beings of light in the service of
the Divine Work, and others
rebellious and ignorant, came from
everywhere, and there appeared
among that humanity possessed
persons who science did not know
how to liberate and who were
repudiated by the people. Neither the
doctors of the Law, nor the physicians
were able to restore those sick to
health.
44. But I was disposed to all to teach
and give proof of love, and I granted
through Jesus the healing of these
creatures, to the astonishment of
many.
45. The skeptical, those who had
heard talk of the power of Jesus and
knew of his miracles, sought the most
difficult tests to make him vacillate an
instant and demonstrate that He was
not infallible; and the freeing of the
possessed, returning them to the state
of normal beings with only a touch or
a look, or by directing an order to
them so that those spiritual beings
abandoned their minds, and one and
all were freed from their heavy
burden, confused them.
46. Before this power, the Pharisees,
the scientists, the scribes, and
publicans had different reactions.
Some recognized the authority of
Jesus, others attributed his power to
strange influences, others could find
nothing to say, but the sick who had
been healed blessed His name.
47. Some had been possessed by
only a single spirit, others by seven,
as was Mary Magdalene, and others
by numbers so large that they
themselves said they were legion.
48. Throughout the life of the Master
spiritual manifestations occurred,
some were seen by the twelve
disciples, others by the people on the
roads or in their homes. It was the
time of prodigies, of marvels. (339, 20
- 22)
49. "The miracle, according to the
way you understand it, does not exist;
there is nothing contradictory between
the Divine and the material".
50. You attribute many miracles to
Jesus and truly I say to you, that His
deeds were the natural effect of love,
of that Divine force which although
present within each spirit, you still do
not know how to use it, because you
do not want to know the virtue of
love.
51. What existed in all the miracles
which Jesus performed, if it was not
love?
Chapter 11 - The Work of Jesus on earth
111
52. Listen, O disciples: In order for
the love of God to manifest itself to
mankind, the humility of the
instrument was necessary, and Jesus
was always humble, and as He came
to give an example to men, He said to
you on a certain occasion that without
the will of His Heavenly Father, He
could do nothing. He, who does not
penetrate in the humility of those
words, will believe that Jesus was an
ordinary man, but the truth is that He
wanted to give you a lesson of
humility.
53. He knew that humility, that unity
with the Father, made Him Almighty
before mankind.
54. O! Immense and beautiful
transfiguration that love, humility and
wisdom gives!
55. Now you realize why Jesus,
although saying that He could
accomplish nothing without the will
of His Father, in reality could master
it all, because He was obedient,
because He was humble, because He
became the servant of the Law and of
men, and because He knew how to
love.
56. Recognize then that, you
yourselves knowing some of the
virtues of the spiritual love, still do
not feel it, and that is why you cannot
understand the reason for that which
you call a miracle or Mystery, but
which are deeds made possible by the
Divine love.
57. What teachings did Jesus give
you which were not of love? What
learning, methods or Mysterious
knowledge did He employ in leaving
you His examples of power and
wisdom? Only the sweetness of love,
with which everything can be
accomplished.
58. There is nothing contradictory in
the laws of the Father, simple in their
wisdom and wise because they are
saturated with love.
59. Understand the Master, He is
your Book. (17, 11 - 21)
60. The spirit which inspired Jesus
was My very own, that of your God,
who became man to dwell among you
and allowed himself to be seen
because it was necessary that it be so.
As man, I felt all human suffering.
Men of science, who had studied
nature came to Me and found that
they knew nothing of My teaching.
The great and small, the virtuous and
sinners, the innocent and guilty
received the essence of My word, and
I made them all worthy of My
presence. And while many were
called, few were the chosen, and even
fewer were close to Me. (44, 10)
The Adulteress
61. I defended the sinners. Do you
not recall the adulteress? When she
was brought to Me, persecuted and
condemned by the multitudes, the
pharisees came and asked Me, what
should we do with her? The priests
hoped that I would say, bring her to
justice, in order that they might later
say, how could you teach love and
permit the sinner to be punished? And
had I said, let her go, they would have
answered, in the laws of Moses,
Chapter 11 - The Work of Jesus on earth
112
which you claim to be confirming,
there is a mandate which says: Every
woman who is found to be adulterous
shall be stoned to death!
62. Observing their intentions, I did
not answer their words, and leaning
over, I wrote in the dust of the earth
the sins of those who were judging
her. Again they asked Me what they
should do with that woman and I
answered them, let anyone who is free
of sin throw the first stone. Then
recognizing their errors, they left,
covering their faces. No one was pure,
and sensing that I saw into the depths
of their hearts, they no longer accused
that woman for all of them had
sinned. The woman, along with others
who had also committed adultery,
repented and did not sin again. I say
to you, that it is easier to convert a
sinner through love than through
harshness. (44, 11)
Mary Magdalene
63. Mary Magdalene, the sinner, as
the world has called her, merited My
affection and My forgiveness.
64. She achieved her redemption
quickly, which does not happen with
others that weakly ask for pardon for
their sins; while she quickly found
that which she sought, others do not
achieve it.
65. Magdalene won forgiveness for
herself without making a display of
her repentance, she had sinned as you
sin, but she loved much.
66. One who loves may have errors
in his human conduct, but love is the
affection that overflows the heart; if
you wish to be pardoned, like her,
turn your eyes to Me full of love and
trust, and you will, like her, be
absolved of all stain.
67. That women did not sin again,
the love that overflowed from her
heart she consecrated to the Doctrine
of the Master.
68. She was forgiven although she
had committed errors, but in her heart
she bore the purifying fire, and for the
forgiveness the sinner received, she
did not again leave Jesus for an
instant, sooner did My disciples leave
Me alone than that little one; Mary
did not leave Me, did not deny Me,
and did not feel shame or fear.
69. To her was granted to cry at the
foot of the cross and over My
sepulcher, her spirit was soon
redeemed for loving much.
70. In her heart, she too bore the
spirit of an apostle; her conversion
shines like the light of truth; she knew
to humble herself before My feet to
say to Me: "Lord, if you wish it, I will
be saved from sin."
71. While you, how many times
have you tried to convince Me of your
innocence covering your faults with
long prayers?
72. No, disciples, learn from her;
love your Lord truly in each one of
your brothers. Love much, and your
sins will be forgiven. Great will you
be when you make that truth flower in
your heart. (212, 68 - 75)
Chapter 11 - The Work of Jesus on earth
113
Nicodemus and the Question of
Reincarnation
73. In that time I said to Nicodemus,
who had sought Me out in good faith
to speak with Me: That which is born
of the flesh is flesh; and that which is
born of the Spirit is spirit. Marvel not
that I said to you that you must be
born again. Who understood those
words?
74. With them I wished to say to you
that one human life is not enough to
understand even one of My lessons,
and for you to come to understand the
book that this life encompasses, many
existences are necessary to you.
Therefore the flesh must serve only as
a crutch for the spirit in its journey on
earth. (151, 59)
The Transfiguration of Jesus
75. During the Second Time, Jesus
was walking one day followed by his
disciples. They had climbed a
mountain, and while the Master
astonished those men with his words,
they suddenly beheld the transfigured
body of their Lord, which floated in
space, having the spirit of Moses to its
right and that of Elijah to its left.
76. The disciples, blinded by the
Divine light, fell to the ground before
that supernatural vision, but calming
themselves quickly, they proposed
that their Master place upon his
shoulders the royal purple mantle, the
same as upon Moses and Elijah. Then
they heard a voice which descended
from the infinite and said, This is My
beloved Son in whom I am well
pleased. Listen to him.
77. Great fear invaded the disciples
when they heard that voice. Lifting
their eyes, they saw only their Master
who said to them: Do not fear nor tell
anyone about this vision until I have
resurrected from among the dead.
Then they asked the Lord, why do the
scribes say that it is necessary for
Elijah to come first? And Jesus
answered, truly, Elijah shall come
first and restore all things. But I say to
you that Elijah has already come and
they knew him not. Rather they did
with him as they pleased. Then the
disciples understood that He spoke to
them of John the Baptist.
78. "In this era, how many times
have I made the speaker through
whom I communicate disappear
before your eyes so that you might
behold Me in the human form of
Jesus, the form in which humanity
knew Me; yet, you have not knelt
before the new transfiguration". (29,
15 - 18)
Lack of Courage to Commit
Oneself
79. In those days when as man I
lived among you, it happened many
times that at night, when all slept,
there were men who came to find Me
secretly, fearing to be discovered, for
they felt regret for having yelled and
raised a scandal against Me as I spoke
to the crowd; and their regret was
more intense when it proved that in
their hearts My word had left a gift of
peace and light, and that My healing
balm had flowed over their bodies.
Chapter 11 - The Work of Jesus on earth
114
80. Heads hanging, they presented
themselves to Me, saying: Master,
pardon us; we have recognized the
truth of your word. And I answered
them: "If you have found that I speak
only truth, why do you hide? Do you
not go out to receive the rays of the
sun when it appears, and when have
you ever been ashamed of the sun? He
who loves Me truly never hides it, or
denies it, or feels shame for it.
81. I speak to you in this way,
because I see many that come to see
Me stealthily, lying as to where they
have gone, hiding what they have
heard, and sometimes denying that
they have been with Me. Of what are
you ashamed? (133, 23 - 26)
The Harassment of Jesus
82. In the Second Era I spoke to the
multitudes. My word, perfect in
essence and form, was heard by all.
My gaze, penetrating hearts, saw all
that was kept there by each one. In
some there was doubt, in others faith,
and in others an anguished voice
spoke to Me: They were the sick, who
pain had made hope for a miracle
from Me. There were some who tried
to hide their mockery when they heard
Me say that I came from the Father to
bring to men the Kingdom of Heaven,
and there were hearts wherein I found
hatred for Me, and intentions of
silencing Me or making Me disappear.
83. Those were the prideful: the
Pharisees who felt affected by My
truth. For in spite of My word being
so clear, so full of love, and so
comforting, in spite of being always
confirmed by powerful works, many
men persisted in looking for [another
supposed] truth behind My presence,
judging Me in the form of Jesus,
scrutinizing My life, concentrating on
the humility of My vestments and My
absolute poverty of material goods.
84. And not content with judging
Me, they judged My disciples,
observing them closely when they
spoke, when they followed Me on the
roads, and when they sat at the table.
How scandalized were the Pharisees
when one time My disciples sat at a
table without washing their hands.
Poor minds that confuse the washing
of the body with the purity of the
spirit! They did not realize that when
in the temple they took up the sacred
bread, they did it with clean hands but
hearts full of rot. (356, 37 - 38)
85. Mankind scrutinized Me at each
step. All of My words and deeds were
judged with evil intent. Most of the
time men were confused by My deeds
or by the evidence I offered because
their human mind was not capable of
comprehending that which only the
spirit can comprehend.
86. If I prayed, they would say, why
does He pray if He claims to be full of
power and wisdom? What can He
need or request? And if I did not pray,
they would say that I did not fulfill the
obligation of their religion.
87. If they saw that I did not nourish
Myself while My disciples ate, they
judged that I was not following the
laws instituted by God. And if they
saw Me eating, they asked
Chapter 11 - The Work of Jesus on earth
115
themselves, why does He need to eat
to live, if He says that He is life? They
did not understand that I had come to
the world to reveal to men how
humanity should live after
experiencing a prolonged purification
on earth! From that long purification a
more spiritualized generation should
emerge that is above human misery,
the demanding needs of the flesh, and
the selfish passions of the physical
senses. (40, 11 - 13)
Proclamation of His Parting
88. For three years Jesus lived with
his disciples. He was followed by
great multitudes that loved him
deeply. For those disciples, nothing
existed but to hear the Master
preaching his Divine teaching;
following in his steps they felt neither
hunger nor thirst, there was no
setback or obstacle, all was peace and
joy in the environment that
surrounded that group, but,
nonetheless, just when they were most
absorbed in the contemplation of their
beloved Jesus, He said to them: "The
times will change, I will go from you,
and you shall be as sheep amidst
wolves." The hour comes when it is
needful for Me to return from whence
I came, and for you, who for a time
shall remain alone, to bear testimony
of that which you have seen and heard
to those who hunger and thirst for
love and justice. Work in My name,
and I shall carry you with Me to the
eternal dwelling place."
89. These words saddened the
disciples, and as the hour came closer
Jesus repeated this announcement
with greater insistence; He spoke of
his parting, but at the same time
comforted the hearts of those who
heard him, saying that his Spirit
would not leave and would continue
watching over the world, and that if
they prepared themselves to carry his
word as a message of consolation and
hope to the humanity of that time, He
would speak through their mouths and
perform prodigies. (354, 26 - 27)
The Entry of Jesus into Jerusalem
90. Triumphally the multitudes
received Me upon My entry into the
city of Jerusalem. From the towns and
villages the people came in crowds,
men, women, and children to see the
Master's entry to the city. They were
those who had experienced the
prodigy and proof of the power of the
Son of God. The blind who now saw,
the mute who could now sing the
Hosanna, and the bedridden who had
left their beds to come hurrying to see
the Master in the Passover feast.
91. I knew that the triumph was
momentary; I had already warned My
disciples of what must later happen. It
was only the beginning of My
struggle, and now, at much distance
from those events, I tell you that the
light of My truth continues in the
struggle against the darkness of
ignorance, sin, and falsehood, for
which reason I must add that My
absolute triumph has not yet arrived.
92. How could you believe that the
entrance to Jerusalem meant the
triumph of My cause when few were
Chapter 11 - The Work of Jesus on earth
116
those who had been converted, and
many those who did not know who I
was?
93. And even if that humanity had
been converted to My Word, were
there not yet many generations to
come?
94. That moment of jubilation, that
fleeting, triumphal entry was only a
reflection of that triumph of light,
good, truth, love, and justice that will
come one day, and to which you are
all invited.
95. Know that if even one of My
children is still found outside New
Jerusalem, there will be no
celebration, for God will not be able
to speak of triumph, He cannot
celebrate if his power has not been
able to save even the last of his
children. (268, 17 - 21)
96. You are they who in the Second
Time sang the Hosanna when Jesus
entered Jerusalem. Now that I
manifest to you in spirit, you do not
throw your cloaks before Me; it is
your hearts that you offer for the
dwelling place of the Lord. Today
your "Hosanna" is not shouted from
your throats, this "Hosanna" springs
from your spirit as a hymn of
humility, love, and recognition of the
Father, as a hymn of faith in this
manifestation that in the Third Era
your Lord has come to offer you.
97. Then, like now, you follow Me
in My entrance to Jerusalem. The
great multitudes surrounded Me,
captivated by My words of love; men
and women, the elderly, and children,
the city trembled with their voices of
jubilee. The very Priests and
Pharisees, fearing that the people
might rebel, said to Me: "Master, if
you teach peace, why do you permit
your disciples to raise a scandal in this
manner?" And I answered them: "I
tell you that, if these should hold their
peace, the stones would cry out." For
these were moments of jubilee, the
culmination and the glorification of
the Messiah among those hungry and
thirsty for justice: of those spirits that
for a long time had awaited the
coming of the Lord in fulfillment of
the prophecies.
98. In that Jubilee and gladness My
people also celebrated their liberation
from Egypt. That commemoration of
the Passover, I wished to make
unforgettable by My people, yet truly
I tell you that I did not comply with
the simple tradition of the sacrifice of
a lamb, no, I offered Myself in Jesus,
the Sacrificial Lamb, as the road
through whom all My children must
be redeemed. (318, 57 - 59)
The Last Supper
99. When Jesus celebrated the
Passover with his disciples according
to the tradition of that people, He told
them: Something new I will reveal
unto you; drink this wine, and eat this
bread, which represent My blood and
My body, and do this in memory of
Me.
100. After the parting of the Master,
the disciples commemorated the
sacrifice of the Lord drinking wine
Chapter 11 - The Work of Jesus on earth
117
and eating the bread that symbolized
He who gave all for love of humanity.
101. As the centuries passed the
people divided into religions, and
gave different interpretations to My
words.
102. Today I come to tell you that
which was My feeling at that hour, at
that supper, where every word and act
of Jesus was a lesson from a book of
profound wisdom and infinite love. If
I took the bread and wine, it was to
make you understand that they were
like the love that is the sustenance and
life of the spirit, and if I told you: "Do
this in memory of Me," the Master
wished to tell you to love your
brothers with a love like that of Jesus,
giving yourselves as the true
sustenance of humanity.
103. Any rite that you make of these
teachings will be sterile, if in your
lives you do not carry out the practice
of My teachings and examples; in that
is the difficulty for you, but in that is
where merit lies. (151, 29 - 32 and 34)
104. Just as you are around Me now,
so too was I in the Second Era on that
last night. The sun was setting when
Jesus conversed with his apostles for
the last time during that stay. They
were the words of a Father agonizing
over his very beloved children. There
was sadness in Jesus, as well as in the
disciples who did not yet know what,
only a few hours later, awaited He
who had come to instruct them, and
who had so loved them. Their Lord
would leave them, but they did not yet
know how. Peter cried, clutching the
cup to his heart. John wet the breast of
his Master with his tears. Matthew
and Bartholomew were in ecstasy at
My teaching. Phillip and Thomas hid
their bitterness as they dined with Me.
James the lesser, as well as the
greater, Thaddeus, Andrew, and
Simon were mute from pain, though
with their hearts they said much to
Me. Judas Iscariot also bore in his
heart pain, anguish, and regret, but He
could not turn back, for darkness had
possessed him.
105. When Jesus finished saying his
last words and recommendations,
those disciples were bathed in tears,
but one of them was no longer there,
his spirit being unable to receive such
love, nor to behold such light, and
therefore He had left because of those
words that burned his heart. (94, 56 -
58)
My peace be with you !

Chapter 12 - The Passion, Death, and Resurrection
Efforts and Suffering throughout
the Life of Jesus
1. I came to live among men, making
of My life an example, a book. I knew
all the pains, the trials and the
struggles; the poverty, work, and
persecution; I knew being disowned
by relatives, and ingratitude and
betrayal; I knew of the long days of
work, hunger and thirst, mockery,
loneliness, and death. I let all the
weight of human sin fall upon Me. I
allowed man to scrutinize My Spirit in
My Word and in My pierced body,
where even the last of My bones
could be seen. Being God, I was
turned into a king of fools, into mortal
remains, having even to carry the
cross of ignominy and climb the hill
to where the thieves died. There My
human life ended, as proof that I am
not only a God in word, but also in
deed. (217, 11)
2. When the hour approached and
the dinner had been concluded, Jesus
had made his last recommendations to
his disciples. He walked to the Garden
of Olives, where He was accustomed
to pray, and speaking to the Father,
He said: "O My Father, if it be
possible, let this cup pass from Me:
but above all, thy will be done." It
was then that the one of My disciples
who was to betray Me came
accompanied by the mob that was to
apprehend Me. When they asked:
"Which is Jesus of Nazareth?" Judas
approached his Master and kissed
him. In the hearts of those men there
was fear and tumult as they beheld the
serenity of Jesus, and they asked
again: "Which is Jesus?" Then I
approached them, saying: "Here I am,
it is I." There My passion began.
3. They brought Me before high
priests, judges, and governors; they
questioned Me, judged Me, and
accused Me of breaking the law of
Moses and of wanting to form a
kingdom that would destroy that of
Cesar. (152, 6 - 7)
4. Do you not remember how many
times I showed My love, not only to
those who believed in Me, but also to
He who betrayed Me, and to those
who persecuted and judged Me? Now
you may ask Me for what reason I
came to permit all those humiliations,
and I answer you: It was necessary to
leave them complete freedom of
thought and deed so that the
appropriate circumstances would exist
in which to show Myself, and so that
all would feel the mercy and love with
which I came to teach the world.
The Betrayal by Judas
5. I did not move the heart of Judas
to My betrayal; He served as the
instrument of a wrong thought when
his heart filled with darkness; and
when faced with the faithlessness of
that disciple, I showed My
forgiveness.
6. It was not necessary that one of
My own betray Me to give you that
Chapter 12 - The Passion, Death, and Resurrection
120
display of My humility, the Master
would have shown it in any
circumstance that men might have
presented to him. To that disciple it
corresponded to be the instrument by
which the Master showed his Divine
humility to the world; and although
you may have thought that the
weakness of that man was what
caused the death of Jesus, I say to you
that you are mistaken, for I came to
give Myself to you completely; and if
it had not been in that form, you may
be sure it would have been in another.
Therefore you have no right to curse
or judge He who is your brother but
who in a moment of confusion lacked
love and the faithfulness that He owed
to the Master. If you blame him for
My death, why do you not bless him,
since you know that My blood was
spilled for the salvation of all
mankind? It would be better for you
to pray that none of you fall into
temptation, for the hypocrisy of the
scribes and Pharisees still exists in the
world. (90, 37 - 39)
7. When I was questioned by the
Pontiff Caiphas saying to Me: I adjure
you by the living God, tell us if you
are the Christ, the Messiah, the Son of
God. I answered him: You have said
so". (21, 30)
The Passion of Jesus
8. How many hearts, that days
before had admired and blessed My
works, forgetting them, turned
ungrateful and joined those who
blasphemed against Me; Yet, it was
necessary that My sacrifice be very
great, so that it would never be erased
from the hearts of humanity.
9. The world, and you in it, saw Me
blasphemed, scourged, and humiliated
to the point where no man could have
been, but I drained the cup that you
gave Me to drink. Step by step I
fulfilled My destiny of love among
men, giving all of Myself to My
children.
10. Blessed are those who in spite of
seeing their God bleeding and gasping
for breath, believed in Him.
11. However something yet greater
still awaited Me: to die nailed to a
cross between two thieves; but so it
was written, and so it had to be
fulfilled for Me to be recognized as
the true Messiah. (152, 8 - 11)
12. Concerning this teaching that I
now give you, I gave already an
example in the Second Era. Jesus
being on the cross, the Redeemer
agonized before those multitudes that
He had loved so much; each heart was
a door at which He had called. Among
the mob were the man who governed
multitudes, the prince of the church,
the publican, the Pharisee, the rich,
the poor, the depraved, and those of
simple heart. And while some, from
having seen his works and received
benefits from him, knew who it was
that died that hour, others, thirsty for
innocent blood and eager for
vengeance hurried the death of He
who they mockingly called the King
of the Jews, without knowing that He
was King of not only one people, but
Chapter 12 - The Passion, Death, and Resurrection
121
of all the peoples of the earth and of
all the worlds of the Universe. Jesus,
directing one of his last looks toward
that multitude, full of tenderness and
pity, raised his plea to the Father,
saying: "Forgive them, My Father, for
they know not what they do."
13. That look took in those who
enjoyed his torment, just as it did
those who wept for him; for the love
of the Master, which was the love of
the Father, was the same for all. (103,
26 - 27)
14. When the day arrived that the
mob, urged on by those disturbed by
the presence of Jesus, hurt and beat
him, and they saw him bleed like a
simple mortal under the affect of the
blows; and later suffer and die like
any human, the Pharisees, princes,
and priests exclaimed with
satisfaction: There is He who named
himself the Son of God, who believed
himself a king, and who passed
himself off as the Messiah.
15. It was for their sake, more than
for that of any others, that Jesus asked
his Father to forgive those who while
knowing the scriptures, denied him
and pointed him out as an imposter to
the multitudes. It was they, in reality,
who being doctors of the law, when
they judged Jesus did not know what
they were doing, even while among
the mob were hearts broken by the
pain of the injustice they were
witnessing and whose faces flooded
with tears before the sacrifice of the
righteous Man. It was the men and
women of simple hearts but of humble
and elevated spirit who knew who He
was that had been in the world, and
whom they were losing with the
departure of the Master. (150, 24 - 25)
16. He speaks to you: He who on the
cross, agonizing, abused and tortured
by the mob, raised his eyes to the
infinite, saying: "Forgive them,
Father, for they know not what they
do."
17. In that Divine pardon I included
and embraced all mankind of all
times, for I could see the past, the
present, and the future of humanity. I
can say to you in truth and spirit, that
at that time I was looking upon you
who in this time are hearing My New
Word. (268, 38 - 39)
18. When from the height of the
cross I directed My last looks to the
multitude, I beheld Mary, and
referring to John, I said: "Woman,
behold your son," and to John: "Son,
behold your mother."
19. The mob was blind, so John was
then the only one able to understand
the meaning of the phrase when I
said: "I thirst," for it was the thirst for
love that My Spirit felt.
20. And the two criminals agonized
beside Me also; and while one of
them blasphemed and sank into the
abyss, the other shone with the light
of faith, and in spite of seeing his God
nailed to the ignominious cross, and
near death, believed in his divinity,
and said to him: "Remember Me
when you come into your kingdom."
To which I responded, moved by such
Chapter 12 - The Passion, Death, and Resurrection
122
faith: Truly, I say unto you, today you
shall be with Me in Paradise.
21. None knew the tempests that
passed through the heart of Jesus in
that hour; the unchained elements
were only a weak reflection of that
which occurred inside that man, and
so great, and so real was the pain of
the Divine Spirit, that the flesh,
feeling for an instant weak,
exclaimed: My God, My God, why
have you forsaken Me?
22. If I came to teach men how to
live, I also came to teach them to die,
forgiving and blessing even the very
ones that injured and martyred Me
when I said to the Father: "Forgive
them, for they know not what they
do."
23. And when the spirit abandoned
this dwelling place, I said: "Father,
into thy hands I commend My spirit."
The perfect lesson had come to an
end; as God and man, I had spoken.
(152, 12 - 17)
24. A moment was enough for
Dimas to save himself, and that was
the last of his life; He spoke to Me
from the cross, and in spite of seeing
that Jesus, of whom it was said that
He was the Son of God, was in agony,
He sensed that He was the Messiah,
the Savior, and He committed himself
with all the repentance of his heart,
and all the humility of his spirit, and it
was for this that I promised him
Paradise on that very day.
25. I say unto you, that He who sins
unconsciously, but who at the end of
his life speaks to Me with a heart full
of humility and faith, I shall make to
feel the tenderness of My charity,
which shall raise him above the
miseries of the earth, to make him
know the pleasures of a noble and
elevated life.
26. Yes, beloved Dimas, you went
with Me to the Paradise of light and
spiritual peace, where I carried your
spirit in reward for your faith. Who
would have said to those who doubted
that in the dying and bleeding Jesus
there dwelled a God and that in the
thief who suffered on his right a spirit
of light was hidden?
27. Time passed, and when calm
came again, many of those that denied
and scourged Me penetrated the light
of My truth, and therefore their
repentance was great and their love
for following Me unshakeable. (320,
67)
28. In the Second Era I pronounced
some last words from the cross while
My physical body was in a state of
agony. Among My last phrases there
was one which was not understood
during those moments or even later:
My God, My God, why have you
forsaken Me?
29. Because of those words, many
became confused or doubtful,
thinking that it was a moment of
weakness and that I had faltered. But
they had not taken into account that
that was not the last phrase, that after
it I still pronounced others which
revealed strength and enlightenment:
Father, into your hands I commend
My Spirit, and “All is accomplished”.
Chapter 12 - The Passion, Death, and Resurrection
123
30. Now that I have returned to shed
light on your confusion and to clarify
what you have called Mysteries, I say
to you, when I was on the cross, the
agony was long and bloody. The body
of Jesus, infinitely more sensitive than
that of all men, suffered a prolonged
agony, and death would not come.
Jesus had already fulfilled his mission
in the world. He had already said the
last word and taught the last lesson.
Then that tortured body, that torn
flesh, on feeling the absence of the
spirit, painfully asked the Lord,
Father, Father why have you forsaken
Me? That was the sweet and
sorrowful complaint of the wounded
lamb to his Shepherd. It was proof
that Christ, the Word, truly became
man in Jesus and that his suffering
was real.
31. How can you attribute these
words to Christ when He is united
eternally to the Father? Now you
know that it was a painful mooning
from the body of Jesus, wounded and
tortured by the blindness of men. But
when the caress of the Lord rested
upon that tortured flesh, Jesus went on
to speak, and his words were, “Father,
into your hands I commend My Spirit.
All is accomplished”. (34, 27 - 30)
32. When Jesus was on the cross,
there was not a spirit which did not
feel shaken before the voice of love
and of justice of that one who was
dying naked, similar to what they felt
when He delivered the truth in his
word. Whoever has analyzed the life
of Jesus has recognized that neither
before nor after him has anyone
existed who could accomplish a work
like his, for it was a Divine work
which with his example will save
humanity.
33. I came meekly to the sacrifice,
for I knew that My blood would
convert you and save you. I spoke
with love and forgave you to the last
instant because I came to bring you a
sublime teaching and to trace for you
the path toward eternity with perfect
examples.
34. Humanity wanted to make Me
give up My mission with the fragility
of the flesh, but I did not give up.
Men wanted to make Me blaspheme,
but I did not blaspheme. The more the
crowds offended Me the more pity
and love I had for them. The more
they hurt My body, the more blood
flowed from it to give life to those
whose faith had died.
35. That blood is the symbol of the
love with which I traced the path for
the human spirit. I left My word of
faith and hope to those who were
hungry for justice, and the treasure of
My revelations to the spiritually
enlightened ones.
36. "After time passed, humanity
became aware of the one who had
been in the world; then the work of
Jesus was considered to be perfect and
Divine and recognized as
superhuman. There were many who
shed tears of repentance! There were
many spirits who experienced great
remorse!" (29, 37 - 41)
Chapter 12 - The Passion, Death, and Resurrection
124
37. If Jesus, who was the Way, the
Truth, and the Life, ended his mission
with that prayer of seven words,
saying in the end to his Father: "Into
your hands I commend My Spirit," do
you think that you, who are the
students and disciples of that Master,
can leave this life without offering
yourselves to the Father as a tribute of
obedience and humility, and that you
will be able to close your eyes in this
world without asking of the Lord his
protection, since you must open them
in another ?
38. All the life of Jesus was an
offering of love to the Father. The
hours that his agony on the cross
endured were a prayer of love,
intercession, and forgiveness.
39. That, humanity, is the road that I
came to show you. Live imitating
your Master and I promise to carry
you to My bosom, which is the origin
of all happiness. (94, 78 - 80)
40. I, Christ, through Jesus, the man,
manifested the glory of the Father and
his wisdom and power. The power
was used to perform prodigies in
favor of those needful of faith in the
spirit, of the light of understanding,
and of peace in their hearts. That
power, which is the very strength of
love, was poured forth upon those
who were needy, to be given entirely
to others, so much so that I did not
employ it for My own body, which
also needed it in the supreme hour.
41. I did not wish to make use of My
power to avoid the intense suffering
of My body, for upon making Myself
man, it was so that I would suffer for
you, giving you a concrete, Divine,
and humane proof of My infinite love
and pity for the small, the needy, for
the sinners.
42. All the power I manifested for
others; whether in cleansing a leper,
giving light to the blind, mobility to
the paralyzed, or converting sinners
and raising the dead; all the authority
I showed before the crowds to give
proof of My truth, by demonstrating
My power over the elements and My
authority over life and death, I did not
wish to use for Myself, allowing My
body to live that passion and feel that
pain.
43. It is true that My power could
have protected My body from all pain,
but what merit would it have then
held for you? What example,
understandable by men, would I have
given if I had made use of My power
to avoid the pain? It was necessary to
put aside My power at those
moments, to renounce the Divine
force in order to feel and live the pain
of the flesh, the sadness before
ingratitude, and loneliness, agony, and
death.
44. That is why the lips of Jesus
asked for help at the supreme hour:
because his pain was real, but it was
not only the physical pain that
wracked the feverish and exhausted
body of Jesus, it was also the spiritual
sensation of a God that through that
body was being mocked and ridiculed
by the blind, ungrateful, and arrogant
children for whom He was giving his
blood.
Chapter 12 - The Passion, Death, and Resurrection
125
45. Jesus was strong in the Spirit that
animated him, which was the Divine
Spirit, and He could have been
physically insensible to the pain, and
invincible before the trials of his
persecutors; but it was necessary that
He cry, and that He feel, that before
the eyes of the multitude He fall once
and again, the strength drained from
his fiber, and that He die when the last
drop of blood had escaped from his
body.
46. Thus My mission on earth was
fulfilled. Thus ended the existence in
the world of He whom only days
earlier the people had proclaimed
King, as He entered Jerusalem. (320,
56 - 61)
The Saving Action of Jesus in the
Worlds Beyond
47. Humanity had attained very little
spiritual evolution during the
beginning Eras. Man had no
knowledge about a spirit's destiny
after its departure from earth nor
about its existence in the spiritual
valley. Consequently, when those
spiritual beings entered the spiritual
valley, after having departed from
earth, they were in a stale of deep
spiritual sleep and confusion until
they gradually began to awaken. But
when Christ became man in Jesus to
give his teaching to all spirits, once
He had fulfilled his mission among
humanity, He sent his light to
multitudes of spiritual beings, who
from the beginning of the world
awaited his coming to be liberated
from their confusion and to be able to
rise toward the Creator.
48. Only Christ could illuminate that
darkness. Only his voice could
awaken those spirits and help them to
evolve. When Christ died as a man,
his Divine Spirit created light in the
spiritual dwellings and also in the
tombs, thus enlightening those spirits
who had dwelled in darkness, clinging
to their material bodies. Those beings
wandered that night throughout the
world, becoming visible to human
eyes as proof that the Redeemer was
life to all beings and the spirit was
immortal. (41, 5 - 6)
49. Men and women perceived the
signs and voices from Beyond; the
elderly and children as well, were
witnesses to those manifestations.
And in the days before the death of
the Redeemer, the spiritual light
entered the hearts of humanity, the
beings from the spiritual valley called
to the hearts of men, and on the day
when the Master gave his last breath
as a man, his light penetrated every
nook and cranny of both the spiritual
and material dwelling places in search
of those beings that had long been
awaiting for Him. Materialized spirits,
disturbed and ill, having lost the road,
tied by chains of remorse, and bearing
burdens of iniquity, and other spirits
that believed themselves dead but
were attached to their bodies, all arose
from their lethargy and rose to life.
50. But before abandoning this earth,
they went to those to whom they had
belonged; to give testimony of His
Chapter 12 - The Passion, Death, and Resurrection
126
resurrection, of His existence, and
with all this, the world witnessed
these manifestations on that night of
bereavement and mourning.
51. The hearts of men trembled and
children cried before those who had
died some time before, and who on
that day returned again for only a
moment to bear witness of that Master
who having descended to the earth to
sow his seed of love, at the same time
cultivated the spiritual fields inhabited
by an infinity of spirits, who are also
his children, and healed them and
freed them from their ignorance. (339,
22)
52. When I left My body, My Spirit
made its entrance to the world of the
spirits to speak to them with the word
of truth as I had to you, I spoke to
them of Divine love, for that is the
true knowledge of life.
53. Truly I tell you, the spirit of
Jesus was not for a single instant in
the tomb; it had many other works of
charity to perform in other worlds;
My infinite wisdom had for them, as it
had for you, many revelations to
manifest.
54. There are also worlds where the
spiritual beings do not know how to
love, where they dwell in darkness
and yearn for light. Today men know
that where there is selfishness and a
lack of love there is darkness; that war
and passions are the key that locks the
door to the road that leads to the
Kingdom of God.
55. Love, in turn, is the key that
opens the Kingdom of the light that is
truth.
56. Here I have communicated
through matter, there I have
communicated directly with the
elevated spirits, so that they instruct
those that are unable to receive My
inspiration directly. Those elevated
and enlightened beings are, for you,
like the spokesmen. (213, 6 - 11)
The Appearance of Jesus after the
Resurrection
57. Days after My crucifixion, when
My disciples were gathered around
Mary, I made My presence felt,
represented in a spiritual vision of a
dove. In that blessed moment, no one
dared move or say a single word.
There was true ecstasy, while they
beheld that vision and their hearts
throbbed filled with strength and faith,
realizing that the presence of the
Master, who had apparently departed,
would be with them always in Spirit.
(8, 15)
58. Why must you believe that My
coming in spirit is without purpose?
Remember that I after My death as a
man, continued to speak to My
disciples, presenting Myself in Spirit.
59. What would have become of
them without those manifestations I
awarded them, strengthening their
faith and encouraging them for its
fulfillment?
60. Sad was the picture they
presented when, after My parting, the
tears did not cease to fall down their
Chapter 12 - The Passion, Death, and Resurrection
127
cheeks and sobs to escape at every
instant from their chests. They prayed
much, and the fear and remorse wore
at them. They knew that one had sold
Me, another had denied Me, and
almost all of them had abandoned Me
in the supreme moment.
61. How could they be the witnesses
of the Master of all perfection? How
could they have the courage and
strength to confront men of diverse
creeds and ways of thinking and
living?
62. It was then that My Spirit
manifested its presence among them
to calm their pain, rekindle their faith,
and set their hearts alight with the
ideal of My Doctrine.
63. I humanized My Spirit to the
point of making it visible and tangible
to the disciples, but My presence was
spiritual, and look at the long lasting
and important influence those
manifestations had on My apostles.
(279, 47 - 52)
64. My sacrifice was consumed, but
knowing that those hearts needed Me
more than ever because in them a
storm of doubts, suffering, confusion,
and fear had been unleashed, I quickly
came to them to give them one more
proof of My infinite charity. In My
love and pity for those students of My
word, I humanized Myself, taking the
form or image of the body that I bore
in the world, and let them see and
hear Me, and with My words ignited
again the faith of those crestfallen
spirits. It was a new lesson, a new
form of communicating with those
who had accompanied Me on the
earth, and they felt strengthened,
inspired, and transfigured by the faith
and knowledge of My Truth.
65. In spite of those proofs, of which
all were witnesses, there was one who
obstinately denied My manifestations
and the proofs that I came to give
spiritually to My disciples, and it was
necessary even to permit him to touch
My spiritual presence with his
material senses, so that He might
believe.
66. However, not only among My
closest disciples did such doubts arise;
no, among the multitudes, in the
towns, cities, and villages, among
those who had received proofs of My
power and for the sake of those works
followed Me, confusion, anguished
questioning, surprise, and
incomprehension surged because all
had ended in that manner.
67. I had pity on them all, and so, as
I had with My closest disciples, I gave
them proofs that though I would no
longer accompany them as a man on
the earth, I had not left them. To each
heart, in each home, or family, and in
each town, I manifested Myself to
those hearts that believed in Me,
making them feel My spiritual
presence in a multitude of forms.
Then began the struggle of those
Christians who had needed to lose
their Master on earth in order to raise
themselves up to preach the truth that
He had revealed to them. You all
know their great works. (333, 38 - 41)
Chapter 12 - The Passion, Death, and Resurrection
128
68. During the Second Era, when I
made Myself visible to My disciples
for the last time, among the clouds,
when I disappeared from their sight,
there was sorrow in them for at that
moment they felt to have been left
alone; but then they listened to the
voice of the angel, the emissary of the
Lord who said to them: "O men of
Galilee, what is it that you see? This
same Jesus that you see ascending
into Heaven you will behold
descending in the same manner."(8,
13)
69. Then they understood that when
the Master should return to men, He
would do it spiritually. (8, 13 - 14)
My peace be with you !
129
Chapter 13 - Mission and Significance of Jesus and His Apostles
Correction of the Old Concept of
God, and False Traditions
1. Jesus, the Christ, has been the
clearest teaching that I have given you
in the world to show you how great is
the love and wisdom of the Father.
Jesus was the living message that the
Creator sent to the earth, so that you
would know the virtues of He who
created you. Humanity saw in
Jehovah an angry and implacable
God, a terrible and vengeful judge,
and by means of Jesus He came to
save you from your error.
2. See in the Master the Divine love
made flesh; He came to judge your
acts with his life of humility, sacrifice,
and charity, and rather than punishing
you with death, He offered His blood
to help you to know the true life, that
of love. That Divine message
illuminated the life of humanity, and
the Word that the Divine Master gave
to men, gave origin to the religions
and sects through which you have
sought Me, and continue to seek Me;
yet truly I say, you have not yet
understood the content of that
message.
3. Humanity has come to think that
the love of God for his children is
infinite, since He, in Jesus, died for
the love of men. They have come to
be moved by the suffering of Jesus
before his judges and executioners,
they have come to see the Father in
the Son, but the content, the reach of
that which the Lord wished to say to
humanity through the revelation that
began with a Virgin and concluded in
the cloud at Bethany, has not been
interpreted to this day.
4. I have had to return in the same
cloud in which the Word ascended to
the Father to give you the explanation
and show you the true content of all
that was revealed to you in the birth,
life, works, and death of Jesus.
5. The Spirit of Truth promised by
Christ in that Era is this Divine
manifestation
*
that has come to
illuminate the darkness and clarify the
Mysteries that the mind or heart of
man have not been able to penetrate.
(81, 46 - 49)
6. I came in the Second Era as a
man, preaching My truth by example;
I stopped the useless sacrifice of
innocent and unconscious beings,
sacrificing Myself on the altar for the
sake of a perfect lesson of love. The
Lamb of God, you called Me, because
of that people having sacrificed Me on
their traditional day of celebration.
7. Truly, My blood was spilled to
teach men the road of redemption. My
Divine love was poured forth from the
cross upon the humanity of that and
every time, so that in that example, in
that word, and in that perfect life,
humanity be inspired and find its
salvation, purification from its sins,
*
13, 5 In Mexico 1866 - 1950
Chapter 13 - Mission and Significance of Jesus and His Apostles
130
and the elevation of the spirit. (276,
15)
The Example of Jesus
8. It was necessary for Jesus to show
you the principles that you must
follow and from which you had
departed.
9. I showed you all My meekness,
My love, My wisdom and My charity,
and drained the cup of pain in front of
you, so that your hearts would be
moved and your understanding would
be awoken. It was necessary that your
hearts awaken* to good, and that the
pain of seeing Me crucified for the
love of them would act as a thorn that
remind them, that you must all suffer
for love in order to come to the
Father. My promise for all who wish
to take up their cross and follow Me
was eternal peace: the supreme well
being that in the spirit has no end.
(240, 23 - 24) * were born
10. Christ is, and must be, your
model, it was for that reason that I
came to make Myself man in that
time. What was the manifestation that
Jesus gave to humanity? His infinite
love, his Divine wisdom, his limitless
mercy, and his power.
11. I said to you: Imitate Me, and
you will come to perform the same
works I do. If I came as Master, you
must understand that it was not to
teach you lessons that are impossible,
or out of reach of the understanding of
men.
12. Understand then, that when you
perform works like those Jesus taught
you, you will have reached the
fullness of life about which I spoke to
you before. (156, 25 - 27)
The Importance of the Doctrine of
Jesus
13. No other people of the earth of
any generation or race have found the
Doctrine of Jesus given as an
example, like an open book for
humanity to study, nor anything like
it. For those who have arisen giving
precepts of justice or doctrines of
charity, have been sent by Me to the
earth as forerunners, or as emissaries,
but not as Divinity. Only Christ came
among you as Divinity. He came to
give you the clearest and greatest
lesson that the heart of man has ever
received. (219, 33)
The Summoning, Learning, and
Trials of the Apostles of Jesus
14. In this era, you have
commemorated the years of My
preaching, those three years in which
I prepared My disciples, and in which
I lived with them. They beheld all My
works, and during the preparation
succeeded in entering My heart and
contemplating the purity, majesty, and
wisdom present in the Master.
15. In those days I performed no
ostentatious acts, My passage through
the earth was humble, but He who
was prepared witnessed the grandeur
of My presence and of the time that
He lived.
16. Thus, I chose My disciples; some
I found on the banks of the river, and
called to, saying: "Follow Me." When
they fixed their gazes upon Me they
Chapter 13 - Mission and Significance of Jesus and His Apostles
131
realized who it was that spoke to
them, and so one by one, I went on
choosing. (342, 21)
17. I never said, as I was preaching
in the world, that My disciples were
already teachers, or that they would
be heard. They were the pupils who,
captivated by the light of My word,
meekly followed Me, but who, even
so, made errors, for they needed time
to transform themselves and thereafter
arise as examples for humanity. They
were stones who were being polished
by the brush of Divine love, so that
later they too could convert rocks to
diamonds. (356, 39)
18. I have tested My disciples during
all Eras. How many times I submitted
Peter to a test and only once did He
weaken, but do not misjudge him for
that act, for when He kindled his faith,
He was like a torch among mankind
preaching and giving testimony of the
truth.
19. "Do not judge Thomas; consider
how many times you have witnessed
My deeds and even then you have
doubted. Do not regard Judas Iscariot
with contempt, that beloved disciple
who sold his Master for thirty pieces
of silver, for there has never been a
greater repentance than his."
20. I availed Myself of each one of
them to give you lessons which would
serve as an example and which would
exist forever in the memory of
mankind. After their weakness they
had their repentance, a conversion and
absolute devotion to the fulfillment of
their mission. They were true apostles
and they left an example for all
generations. (9, 22 - 23)
John the Apostle
21. Remember, when My body was
pried from the cross and then interred,
My disciples, dismayed and unable to
comprehend what had happened,
believed that with the death of the
Master all had ended. It was necessary
that their eyes see Me again, and their
ears again hear Me for their faith to be
kindled, and to reaffirm their
knowledge of My Word.
22. Now I must tell you that among
the disciples there was one who never
doubted Me, who never hesitated
before the trials and never abandoned
Me for an instant. It was John, the
faithful, valiant, fervent, and most
loving disciple.
23. It was because of that love that I
entrusted Mary to him at the foot of
the cross, so that He could continue
drinking from the love of that
blameless heart, and at her side be
strengthened yet more for the struggle
that awaited him.
24. While his brothers, the other
disciples, fell one by one to the blows
of the executioners, sealing the truth
of what they preached and the name
of their Master with their blood and
their lives, John overcame this death,
and escaped martyrdom.
25. Condemned to exile, his
persecutors did not know that there on
that island where they had cast him,
the great revelation of the times that
you are living in, the prophecy that
Chapter 13 - Mission and Significance of Jesus and His Apostles
132
speaks to men of what will be and
what must be fulfilled, would descend
to him from heaven.
26. After loving his brothers much,
and dedicating his life to serving them
in the name of his Master, John had to
live isolated from them, alone, but
praying constantly for humanity,
thinking always of those for whom
Jesus had poured forth his blood.
27. The prayer, the silence, the
withdrawal, the purity of his existence
and the kindness of his thoughts
performed the miracle that this one
man and that spirit evolved in a brief
time to a degree, other spirits have
needed thousands of years to be able
to reach. (309, 41 - 44)
28. When I look upon the dwellers
of this world, I see that the people
know My name, that millions
pronounce My words, but
nonetheless, and in spite of this, truly
I say to you that I do not see the love
of one another.
29. All that I taught you in that time,
and all that happens in the world, is
the explanation and fulfillment of the
revelation that through My apostle,
John, I gave to humanity while My
disciple inhabited the Island of
Patmos. I bore his spirit to the heights,
to the Divine plane, to the
unfathomable; to show him in
symbols the beginning and the end,
the Alpha and the Omega; and He saw
that which is, and which was, and
which is to come.
30. He understood nothing at the
moment, but My voice spoke to him,
saying: "What you see, write," and He
wrote.
31. John had disciples who sought
him in his retreat, crossing the sea in
boats. Avidly, those men asked He
who had been the disciple of Jesus,
how the Master had been, how were
his words and miracles; and John,
imitating his Lord in love and
wisdom, amazed them with his words.
Even when He had arrived at old age,
and with his body weakened by time,
He still had the strength to bear
witness of his Master, and say to his
disciples: "Love one another."
32. Those who sought him out,
seeing that the day of the departure of
John approached, and wanting to have
all the wisdom that this apostle
possessed, begged him to reveal what
He had learned from his Master, and
for an answer they heard only that
phrase: "Love one another."
33. Those who asked with such hope
and interest felt disappointed, and
thought that age had erased from his
memory the words of Christ.
34. I tell you that John had not
forgotten a single one of My words,
but that from all My lessons flowed
that single essence that condenses all
of the Law: The love of one another.
35. How could the lesson of the
Master He so loved be erased from
this so much beloved disciple? (167,
32 - 37)
36. After My departure in the
Second Era your Celestial Mother
remained on earth to strengthen and to
accompany the disciples. After their
Chapter 13 - Mission and Significance of Jesus and His Apostles
133
ordeals and suffering, they found
warmth in her gentleness and
nourishment in her words. They
continued to follow the Divine path
inspired by Mary, who represented the
Divine Master and continued teaching
them. Once she departed from earth,
their struggle began, and each disciple
took the path that was designated for
him. The love of Mary will be very
close to you during this Third Era. It
will strengthen you and encourage
you during your ordeals. (183, 15)
The Apostles Peter and Paul
37. Do not forget what happened to
Peter, My disciple, whom Saul
intended to murder. I proved to My
faithful apostle that He was not alone
in his ordeal and that if He trusted in
My power, I would defend him from
those who wanted to persecute him.
38. Saul was surprised by My Divine
light, when He went searching to
capture Peter. My light touched the
deepest part of Saul's heart, and He
knelt in My presence conquered by
My love and incapable of carrying out
the mission that He intended against
My apostle Peter. Instead, He felt a
transformation of his entire being,
because of the great faith and love He
felt for Christ. He then quickly went
looking for Peter, not to murder him,
but to ask Peter about the teachings of
Christ and to let him become actively
involved in the Lord's work.
39. Since then, Saul became known
as Paul. That change of name
signified the complete spiritual
transformation that had occurred in
that man. (308, 46 - 47)
40. Paul was not counted among My
twelve apostles. He did not eat at My
table, nor follow Me along the roads
to hear My teachings; rather, He did
not believe in Me, nor see kindly
those who followed Me. In his heart
existed the idea of exterminating the
seed that I had confided to My
disciples, which had already began to
spread; but Paul did not know that He
himself was one of mine. He knew
that the Messiah must come, and He
believed in Him, but could not
imagine that the humble Jesus was the
promised Savior. His heart was full of
the arrogance of the world, and that is
why He had not felt the presence of
the Lord.
41. Saul had risen up against his
Redeemer. He persecuted My
disciples as well as those who
approached them to hear My message
from the lips of those apostles. Thus I
surprised him, who was dedicated to
the persecution of those who were
mine. I touched him in the most
sensitive part of his heart, and He
recognized Me at once, for his spirit
had awaited Me, it was for this reason
that He heard My voice.
42. It was My will that this public
man be converted in this manner, so
that the world continue witnessing at
each step these surprising works that
serve as stimulus to its faith and
understanding.
43. Why cite, deed by deed, the life
of the man who from that moment
Chapter 13 - Mission and Significance of Jesus and His Apostles
134
consecrated his life to loving his
fellow men, inspired by love for his
Master and for his Divine lessons?
44. Paul was one of the greatest of
the apostles of My word; his
testimony was always of love, purity,
truth, and light. His prior materialism
was transformed to a very elevated
spirituality, his hardness became
infinite tenderness, and thus was the
persecutor of My apostles made into
the most diligent sower of My word;
the untiring traveler who carried to
various nations, districts, and towns
the Divine message of his Lord, for
whom He lived and for whom He
offered his life.
45. Here, beloved people, you have a
beautiful example of conversion, and
a demonstration that even without
having heard Me, men can come to be
My great apostles. (157, 42 - 47)
The Example of the Apostles
46. Who, other than I, inspired the
disciples in the Second Era as they
continued their journey on earth
without the Divine Master? Do you
not admire what each disciple was
able to accomplish? I say to you that
those disciples had weaknesses as do
all human beings, but later they
developed great faith and love. They
did not fear being left on earth as
sheep among wolves, continually
being persecuted and ridiculed by
others.
47. They had the power to perform
miracles and knew how to use that
gift to convert to the truth.
48. Blessed were those who heard
what Jesus had said through the lips
of My apostles, because they
presented My Doctrine without any
alterations in a true and pure form.
That is why those men, who heard My
apostles speak, felt in their spirits the
presence of the Lord. They
experienced a sensation of power,
wisdom, and majesty.
49. In them you have a worthy
example: Those poor and humble
fisherman from Galilee, transformed
by love into spiritual fishermen
moved people and empires with the
word they had learned from Jesus, and
with their perseverance and sacrifice
they prepared the conversion of the
peoples and the establishment of
spiritual peace. From kings to beggars
they knew My peace in those days of
true Christianity.
50. That Era of spirituality was not
lasting among men, but I, who know
all, had already promised and
proclaimed My return, for I knew that
you would once again have need of
Me. (279, 56 - 60)
The Expansion of Christianity
51. My doctrine, on the lips and in
the works of My disciples, was a
sword of love and light that fought
against ignorance, idolatry, and
materialism. A clamor of indignation
was raised by those who saw their
Myths and traditions would soon be
toppled, while at the same time in
other hearts a hymn of joy was raised
before the illuminated path that
Chapter 13 - Mission and Significance of Jesus and His Apostles
135
opened to hope and faith for those
thirsty for truth and oppressed by sin.
52. Those that denied the spiritual
life were exasperated on hearing the
revelations of the Kingdom of
Heaven, while those who had sensed
its existence, and who hoped for
justice and salvation, gave thanks to
the Father for having sent his Only
Son to the world.
53. The men who kept in their heart
the blessed passion to love and serve
their God with purity, saw their path
opened, and their understanding
illuminated upon penetrating My
word, and felt relief in their spirits and
hearts. The teachings of Christ, as the
true spiritual bread, came to fill the
immense vacuum that they bore,
fulfilling all the hopes of their spirits
with its perfection and its essence.
54. A new Era began, and a clearer
road leading to eternity opened.
55. What beautiful sentiments of
spiritual elevation, of love and
tenderness awoke then in those who
were illuminated by faith to receive
My Word. What courage and firmness
accompanied those hearts that knew
how to suffer and face up to all
without weakening for an instant.
56. Could it have been because the
blood of the Master was still fresh?
No, people, the spiritual essence of
that blood, which was the spiritual
representation of Divine Love, will
never dry or vanish; it is present, and
is as alive and warm now as it was
then.
57. It is that in those hearts there was
also love for the truth to which they
consecrated their lives and offered
even their blood, as confirmation that
they had learned the lesson of their
Master.
58. That nobly spilled blood
overcame the obstacles and
difficulties.
59. Oh how the spirituality of the
disciples of My Word contrasted with
the idolatry, the materialism, the
selfishness, and the ignorance of the
fanatics of the old traditions, or of the
pagans who lived only to worship
material pleasures. (316, 34 - 42)
60. Sow good examples along the
road, do not adulterate My teachings;
in this, imitate My disciples of the
Second Era, who never fell into
material forms of worship to teach
and explain My Doctrine. The idolatry
into which mankind later fell cannot
be attributed to them. Their hands
never erected altars, nor constructed
palaces for spiritual worship; but bore
the teaching of Christ to humanity,
brought health to the sick, hope and
consolation to the poor and miserable,
and like their Master, showed the road
of salvation to the lost.
61. The Christian religion that you
know in these times is not even a
reflection of the Doctrine that My
apostles practiced and taught.
62. Once again I tell you that in
those disciples you can find the
perfect models of humility, love,
charity, and elevation. They sealed
with their blood the truth that they
pronounced with their lips.
Chapter 13 - Mission and Significance of Jesus and His Apostles
136
63. Humanity will no longer ask you
for blood to believe in your testimony,
but they will ask you for truth. (256,
30 - 33)
My peace be with you !
137
III. The Era of the Christian Church
Chapter 14 - Christianity, Churches, and Worship
The Development of Christianity
1. After My departure in the Second
Era, My apostles continued My work,
and those who came after My apostles
continued their labor. They were the
new laborers, the cultivators of that
great land prepared by the Lord,
fertilized with his blood, his tears, and
his Word, cultivated by the work of
the first twelve, and also by those who
followed them, but as time passed
from generation to generation men
Mystified or adulterated My Work
and My Doctrine.
2. Who told men they could make
My image? Who told them to
represent Me hanging from the cross?
Who told them they could make the
image of Mary, the forms of angels,
or the face of the Father? Oh men of
little faith, who in order to feel My
presence, have had to materialize the
spiritual.
3. The image of the Father was
Jesus, the image of the Master, his
disciples. I said in the Second Era:
"Who knows the son, knows the
Father." That means that Christ, who
spoke in Jesus, was the Father
himself. Only the Father could make
his own image.
4. After My death as a man, I
manifested Myself alive to My
apostles so they would recognize that
I was life and eternity, and that in
material form, or not, I was present
among you. Not all men understood
this, and for that reason they fell into
idolatry and fanaticism. (113, 13 - 17)
5. I said to the woman of Samaria:
Whosoever drinks of the water that I
shall give him shall never thirst again.
Today I say unto you: If humanity had
drunk of that water, it would not bear
such misery.
6. Humanity did not persevere in My
teachings, but preferred to take My
name to create religions according to
their interpretation and convenience. I
abolished traditions and taught the
Doctrine of love, and today you come
to Me presenting Me with vain rites
and ceremonies that do nothing to
benefit the spirit. If there is no
spirituality in your works, there can
be no truth, and what does not have
truth cannot come to the Father.
7. When that Samaritan woman felt
the light of My eyes penetrate the
depths of her heart, she said to Me:
"Sir, you Jews say that in Jerusalem is
the place where men ought to worship
our God." Then I said to her:
"Woman, believe Me, the hour comes
when you shall neither on this
mountain nor in Jerusalem worship
the Father as you do now. But the
hour comes when the Father shall be
worshipped in spirit and truth, for
God is a Spirit".
8. This is My Doctrine for all times.
Observe that having the truth in front
of your eyes, you have not wished to
Chapter 14 - Christianity, Churches, and Worship
138
see it. How can you live it if you do
not know it? (151, 2 - 5)
Ceremonies of Worship
9. If you love, you will not need
material worship or rituals, because
you will carry the light that
illuminates your inner temple, before
which the waves of all the tempests
that would crush at you, will be
broken and the darkness of mankind
will be destroyed.
10. Do not profane any longer what
is Divine, for truly I say to you that
the ingratitude that you demonstrate
before God is too much, when you
perform those external practices
which you have inherited from your
first brethren, and in which you have
become fanaticized. (21, 13 - 14)
11. Behold this humanity confused,
because the great religions which call
themselves Christians, give more
importance to what is ritualistic and
external than to My own Doctrine.
That word of life that I sealed with
deeds of love and blood upon the
cross, no longer lives within the heart
of men, it is locked and silent in aged
books covered with dust. And there
you have a Christian humanity who
does not comprehend nor has the
knowledge nor knows how to imitate
Christ.
12. "That is why I have few disciples
during this era; those who love their
brethren, those who suffer, the ones
who alleviate other people's pain,
those who live in virtue and practice it
with their examples; those are the
Disciples of Christ".
13. He who knowing My Doctrine
hides it or makes it known only with
his lips and not with his heart is not
My disciple.
14. "I have not come during this
period to seek temples made of stone
to appear in them; I come seeking
spirits, hearts, and not material
elegance". (72, 47 - 50)
15. While the religions remain
submerged in their dream and do not
change their routine, there will be no
awakening of the spirit, nor
knowledge of spiritual ideals; and
therefore, there cannot be peace
between men, nor will charity appear;
the light that resolves the great human
conflicts cannot shine. (100, 38)
The Clergy
16. Since you have been unable to
know true spiritual peace, you are
satisfied with yearning about it and
attempting to achieve it in numerous
ways so that you can feel some degree
of tranquility, satisfaction, and
comfort. However, you have never
been able to achieve true spiritual
peace. I say to you that only when the
child obeys the will of the Divine
Father, will it conquer true spiritual
peace.
17. There is a need in the world for
those who can explain and interpret
My words and teachings well. That is
why humanity, even those who call
themselves Christians, live in spiritual
backwardness, for there is no one who
Chapter 14 - Christianity, Churches, and Worship
139
can make them tremble with My true
Doctrine, there is no one who can
cultivate in their hearts the love with
which I came to teach men.
18. Day after day, in meeting places,
churches, and temples My name is
pronounced and My words repeated,
yet none vibrate, none tremble with
the light, and it is because men have
missed their meaning. The majority
believe that the virtue of the Word of
Christ comes from its constant
automatic repetition, not
understanding that it is not necessary
to pronounce it, but to study, meditate
on, practice, and live it.
19. If men knew how to seek the
essence of the Word of Christ, each
time they would find it to be new,
fresh, alive, and moving. But they
know it only superficially, and cannot
therefore be sustained by it.
20. Poor humanity. Lost in darkness
while the light is so near; crying in
anguish when peace is within their
grasp. Yet, they cannot see that
Divine light because there have been
those who pitilessly blindfolded their
eyes. I love you truly and come to
your aid, rescuing you from the
darkness and proving to you that what
I said in that Era was for all times, and
that you should not consider that
Divine word as an ancient doctrine
and no longer relevant, because the
love that was the essence of all My
teachings is eternal, and in it is the
secret of your salvation in this Era of
confusion, immense bitterness and
unbridled passions. (307, 4 - 8)
21. I disapprove of those preaching a
blind faith, a faith that lacks
knowledge, that is acquired through
fear and superstitions.
22. Do not listen to the words of
those who attribute to God all the
adversity and hardships that humanity
is experiencing the plagues, hunger,
and epidemics that are occurring on
earth, calling them God's punishment
and wrath. Those are the false
prophets.
23. Separate yourself from those,
because they do not truly know Me,
and want to teach mankind about
God.
24. You are now suffering the
consequences caused by those who
have misinterpreted the scriptures
from the old and new testaments. Man
has not been able to correctly interpret
the Divine meaning and essence of
those revelations and prophecies.
Many individuals speak of the end of
the world, of the judgment day, death
and hell without knowing any of the
truth. (290, 16 - 19)
25. Already you are in the Third Era,
and still humanity is spiritually
backward. Your ministers, your
theologians, and your spiritual pastors
do little good, and sometimes reveal
nothing of eternal life. To them also, I
reveal the Mysteries of My Arcane,
and I say to you: Why do they hide
them? Why do they fear to waken the
drowsy spirit of mankind? (245, 5)
26. My Doctrine teaches you a
perfect form of worship, spiritual and
Chapter 14 - Christianity, Churches, and Worship
140
pure toward the Father, for the spirit
of humanity has arrived, without
realizing it, at the threshold of the
Lord's temple, where it will enter to
feel My presence, to hear My voice
through its conscience, and to see Me
in the light that descends upon its
minds.
27. The emptiness that men feel
within their various religions in this
Era is because the spirit hungers and
thirsts for spirituality; rites and
traditions are not enough for it. It
yearns to know My truth. (138, 43 -
44)
Communion and The Mass
28. I have never come before men
hidden in Mystery. If I have spoken to
you figuratively in order to reveal the
Divine to you or to represent the
eternal in some material form, it has
been so that you would understand
Me. But if men stop to worship forms,
objects, or symbols instead of seeking
the meaning of those teachings, it will
be natural for them to remain
spiritually unenlightened for centuries
and to perceive all things as
Mysterious.
29. From the times of Israel's stay in
Egypt, when My blood was
represented by that of a lamb, there
have been men who only live by
traditions and rituals, not
understanding that such a sacrifice
was an image of the blood which
Christ would come to shed in order to
help mankind attain spirituality.
Others, believing that they are
nourishing themselves with My body,
eat material bread, not wanting to
understand that when I gave My
disciples the bread in the Cenacle, it
was to have them understand that
whoever takes the essence of My
word will have taken nourishment
from Me.
30. How few are those who truly
know how to understand My Divine
lessons. Those few are the ones who
analyze them with the spirit. You
need to realize that I have not brought
you My Divine revelation only one
time, but that I have been clarifying it
with each new lesson. (36, 7 - 9)
31. There is joy in the hearts of these
multitudes. They know that a spiritual
banquet has been prepared for their
spirits where the Divine Master awaits
to give them the spiritual food and
drink, the bread and the wine of the
true life.
32. "The table where Jesus met with
his disciples in that time was a symbol
of the Kingdom of Heaven. The
Father was surrounded by his
children. There was also the feast,
representing life and love. The Divine
voice spoke; its essence was the
universal concert, and the peace
which reigned there was the peace
present in the Kingdom of God".
33. "In the beginning of this period
you have tried to purify yourselves
thinking that the Divine Master would
bring you a new testament in his
words, and such is the case. Today, I
allow you to remember the bread and
the wine with which I represented My
body and My blood, but I have also
Chapter 14 - Christianity, Churches, and Worship
141
come to tell you, that in this new time
you will only find that nourishment in
the Divine essence of My word. If you
seek My body and My blood, you
must seek it in the Divine things that I
have created, because I am all spirit.
Eat of this bread and drink of this
wine, but also fill My chalice, for I
want to drink with you; I thirst for
your love".
34. Take this message to your
brothers and be aware of that blood,
which allows you to live, is the
symbol for eternal life which is true
love. It is through you that I am
beginning to enlighten humanity with
My new revelations. (48, 22 - 25)
35. I bring you peace and a new
teaching. If My sacrifice of the
Second Era abolished the sacrifice of
innocent victims whom you
immolated upon the altar of Jehovah,
today the sustenance of My Divine
Word has made you cease to represent
My body and My blood with the
bread and wine of this world.
36. "Every spirit who wishes to live
will have to be nourished from the
Divine Spirit. He, who listens to My
Word and feels it within his heart, has
truly been nourished; He has not only
been fed by My body and drank of
My blood, but He also has taken from
My Spirit to nourish himself".
37. Who, after having had a taste of
this heavenly nourishment, will again
seek Me in bodies and manmade
forms?
38. From time to time I have come
erasing traditions, rituals and forms,
and I leave in your spirit only the Law
and the essence of My teachings. (68,
27)
Baptism
39. People: in that era, John, called
also the Baptist, baptized those who
believed in his prophecy with water.
That act was a symbol of the
purification of the original sin. To the
multitudes who came to the Jordan
River to hear the words of the
forerunner, He said: "Here I baptize
you with water, but already He is
coming who shall baptize you with
the fire of the Holy Spirit."
40. From that Divine fire all the
spirits were born. They sprang forth
pure and clean, but if on their road
they have managed to stain
themselves with the sin that
disobedience brought with it, the fire
of My Spirit will come again to pour
itself over them, to destroy your sin,
cleanse your stains, and return you to
your original purity.
41. If that spiritual baptism, instead
of being understood as the
purification that men achieve through
an act of true repentance before their
creator, you convert into a rite, and
you are satisfied with the symbolism
of an act, then I tell you certainly that
your spirit shall achieve nothing.
42. Who acts in this way, lives still
in the times of the Baptist, and it is as
though He had believed neither in his
prophecies, nor in the words that He
spoke about spiritual baptism: the
Divine fire with which God purifies
Chapter 14 - Christianity, Churches, and Worship
142
his children, and immerses them in
the immortal light.
43. John called to men who were of
adult age, to pour over them those
waters that symbolized purification.
They came to him when they were
conscious of their acts and could
already have the firm will to persevere
in the path of good, of righteousness,
and of justice. See how humanity has
preferred to practice the symbolic act
of purification by means of water,
instead of a true regeneration through
repentance and the firm purpose of
reform that is born of the love for
God. The ceremony implies no effort
at all, in contrast, purifying the heart
and struggling to remain pure means
effort, watchfulness, and even
sacrifice, by men. That is why men
have preferred to cover their sins with
appearances, settling for carrying out
ceremonies, acts, and rites that do
nothing to improve their moral or
spiritual condition if the conscience is
not involved.
44. Disciples: That is why I do not
wish rites to exist among you, so that
you do not, to comply with them,
forget that which truly gets to the
spirit. (99, 56 - 61)
45. I am the one who sends spirits to
incarnate according to the law of
evolution. And truly I say to you that
it will not be the influences of this
world which will make Me deviate
from My Divine plans, for My Divine
will shall be fulfilled in spite of mans
ambition for power.
46. Every human being brings a
mission to the earth. His destiny is
outlined by the Father, and his spirit
anointed by My charity. In vain men
perform ceremonies and anoint little
children. Verily I say to you, that at
no material age will water be the one
to purify the spirit of its shortcomings
to My Law. And if I send a spirit
which is free of all sin, from what
blemish do religious ministers
cleanses it with baptism?
47. It is time for you to understand
that the origin of man is not a sin, but
that his birth is the result of the
fulfillment of a natural law, a law
which not only man fulfills but all
creatures which comprise nature.
Understand that I have said man, and
not his spirit. Man has My power to
create beings similar to him, but
spirits only emerge from Me.
48. To grow and multiply is a
universal law. In the same manner
that stars sprouted from other larger
stars, so the human seed did multiply
on earth. And never have I said that in
so doing mankind has sinned or
offended the Creator. Why would you
be judged as sinners after fulfilling
that Divine mandate? Be aware that
man can never stain himself by
fulfilling My law.
49. What stains man and separates
the spirit from the path of evolution
are his low passions, immorality, vice,
and lust, for all of them go against the
law.
50. Study and carefully analyze until
you find the truth, and thus you will
cease to call sinful the mandates of
Chapter 14 - Christianity, Churches, and Worship
143
the Creator of Life. Then you will be
able to bless the existence of your
children with the example of your
good deeds. (37, 18 - 23)
Remembering the Dead
51. Men are conservative in their
traditions and customs; it is well that
they bear an indelible memory of
those beings who have gone down to
the tomb, and that they are attracted to
the place where they have deposited
their remains. Yet if they consider the
real meaning of material life, they will
see that on the disintegration of that
body it returns atom by atom to the
different realms from which it is
formed, and life continues to unfold.
52. But throughout time, man, for
lack of study of the spiritual, has
created a chain of worship services
that are fanatically materialist. They
try to make the material life
imperishable, and forget the spirit,
who is truly the one who possesses
eternal life. How far they still are
from comprehending spiritual life!
53. Now you know that it serves
nothing to take offerings to those
places where a headstone that says
"Died," should say, "Disintegration
and Life," for there Nature is in open
flower, there is the earth that is the
fertile and inexhaustible bosom of
creatures and species.
54. When these lessons are
understood, humanity will know how
to give the material its place, and the
Divine its own. That is when the cult
of idolatry of one's ancestors will
disappear.
55. Man must recognize and love his
Creator, from spirit to Spirit.
56. Those altars are black crepe, and
the tombs are a proof of ignorance
and idolatry. I pardon all your faults,
but truly, I must awaken you. My
teaching will be understood, and the
time will come when men change the
material offerings for elevated
thoughts. (245, 16 - 21)
Material Symbols, Crucifixes and
Relics
57. In the First Era you knew the
symbols, the tabernacle, or sanctuary
where the arc containing tablets of the
law was kept. When those symbols
had fulfilled their mission, My will
erased them from the earth, it hid
them from the sight of men so that the
world would not fall into idolatry, but
the meaning or essence of those
lessons I left engraved in the
conscience of My servants.
58. In the Second Era, when the
sacrifice of Christ had been
consumated, I made the greatest
symbol of Christianity disappear: the
cross, together with the crown [of
thorns], the chalice, and all that might
have been the object of fanatical
adoration by humanity. (138, 36)
59. Humanity saw Jesus suffer and
His teachings and testimonies are
believed by you. Why continue
crucifying Him in your sculptures?
Are the centuries not enough that you
must keep on exhibiting Him as the
victim of your wickedness?
Chapter 14 - Christianity, Churches, and Worship
144
60. Instead of remembering Me in
the torments and agony of Jesus, why
do you not recall My resurrection, full
of light and glory?
61. Sometimes, while seeing your
idols representing Me in the form of
Jesus upon the cross, there are some
who have thought him to be a man
weak, coward or timid, without
realizing that I am Spirit and I came to
endure what you call a sacrifice but
which I call an obligation of love, as
an example for all mankind.
62. "If you meditate in the fact that I
was One with the Father, remember
that there were no weapons, or forces
or torture that would have made Me
yield; but if as Man I suffered, bled
and died, it was to give you My
sublime example of humility".
63. Men have not understood the
greatness of that lesson, and
everywhere they raise up the image of
the crucified One, that represents a
disgrace for this humanity, who
without love or respect for the One
whom they say they love, continues to
crucify and offend Him daily injuring
the heart of their brethren, for whom
the Master gave His life. (21, 15 - 19)
64. If you were to remove all the
crosses from earth that symbolize
your Christian faith, and instead truly
love one another, I would not find
fault with that. Your faith and worship
would then be spiritual rather than
external. That is what I await from
mankind.
65. If only your form of worship and
symbols had the strength to prevent
wars and addictions to vices, you
would live in peace! Behold how you
lack respect for those things that are
sacred and Divine.
66. Once again I tell you that it
would be better if there were not a
single temple, altar, symbol, or
religious image throughout the world.
Instead, you need to pray with your
spirit, to love your Father, to believe
in him without the need of symbols,
and to love one another as I have
taught you in My doctrine. Then you
would be saved and would be
following the path that My footprints
traced with My blood, footprints that
sealed the truth of My teachings. (280,
69 - 70)
Veneration of the Saints
67. I give you these lessons because
you have converted the spirits of
many of the just into divinities, who
you beg from and adore as if they
were gods. Oh humanity, such
ignorance! How can men judge the
sanctity and perfection of a spirit by
just its human works?
68. I am the first to tell you to
imitate the good examples that your
brothers have written with their
works, their lives, and their virtue,
and I tell you also that upon
remembering them, to hope for their
spiritual help and influence; but why
raise altars that serve only to offend
the humility of those spirits? Why
create cults around their memories, as
if they were the Divinity, putting them
in place of the Father, whom you
forget in order to adore your brothers?
Chapter 14 - Christianity, Churches, and Worship
145
How painful the glory you give them
here has been for them.
69. What does humanity know about
My judgment of those who you call
saints? What do they know of the
spiritual life of those beings, or of the
place that each one has achieved
before the Lord?
70. Let none think that with these
revelations I come to erase from your
hearts the merit that My servants have
gained among humanity, on the
contrary; I want you to know that the
grace that they have found before Me
is great, and much have I conceded to
you for their prayers; but it is
necessary that you destroy your
ignorance, from which religious
fanaticism, idolatry, and superstition
come.
71. If you feel that the spirits of
those beings float over your lives,
trust those who are part of the
spiritual world, so that they and you,
united in the way of the Lord,
consummate the work of spiritual
fraternity, the work that I await as the
result of all My teachings. (115, 52 -
56)
Religious Festivities
72. Today, when the crowds run in a
fuss to their churches to celebrate the
moment in which the glory opened up
to receive Me, I tell you, that is only a
tradition to impress the hearts of
humanity. They are merely rites that
today make My Divine passion a
material event.
73. You are not to follow that
tendency, erecting altars and symbols;
not to make representations of sacred
events, nor use special clothing to
distinguish yourselves, for all of that
is idolatrous worship.
74. Invoke Me in your hearts,
remember My teachings, and imitate
My examples. Offer Me the tribute of
your reform, and you shall feel how
the doors of glory open to receive
you.
75. Flee from the false and profane
representations that are made of Me
and of My passion, for none can
represent Me. Live My examples and
teachings; any who do so, will have
represented their Master on earth.
(131, 11 - 13 and 16)
76. Humanity: During these days
when you celebrate the birth of Jesus
you allow your heart to feel peace.
You are as a family that is living in
harmony and joy.
77. I am aware that not all
individuals are sincerely happy as
they remember My arrival on earth
during the Second Era, as there are
only a few who truly meditate and
spiritually rejoice remembering My
arrival.
78. Today, as in the past Eras, man
celebrates the birth of Jesus with
festivities and rituals, but they lack
spirituality. These festivities only
satisfy man's material and sensual
pleasures but do not offer him true
spiritual joy.
79. If man was to spiritually
meditate on My great love for
mankind as evidenced by My coming
to earth to live among humanity
Chapter 14 - Christianity, Churches, and Worship
146
during the Second Era, truly I say that
you would develop great faith. That
great faith would guide you toward
Me. Your spirit would develop great
virtue and kindness, allowing you to
offer great charity, comfort, and
tenderness to all the needy along your
path. You would perceive each human
being as your true brother and would
forgive those who offend you. You
would sincerely feel compassion for
all those you meet along your path
who are lonely and for children
without parents and who lack love and
a true home. You would remember
those nations that are without peace
because war has destroyed all the
good, noble, and sacred things that are
found in life. You would then elevate
a pure and sincere prayer and ask Me:
Lord, what right do we have to live in
peace, while so many of our brethren
are suffering greatly?'
80. My response would be the
following: Now that you have felt the
pain of your brethren, have been
charitable with them, and have prayed
for them, you may gather with your
loved ones in your home and enjoy
this holy moment because I am now
with you. I will be present in your
home. Do not be afraid of feeling joy
even though you know that many of
your brethren are now suffering. Truly
I tell you that if you truly feel
compassion for those who are
suffering, they will feel the peace,
hope, and love that you feel for them.
81. No one should think that I no
longer want you to celebrate the birth
of Jesus, the most important and
holiest event of the year. I only come
to teach you to give to the world what
belongs to the world and to give to the
spirit what belongs to the spirit. Man
celebrates many of his worldly
accomplishments in an unspiritual
manner; therefore, why not allow his
spirit to celebrate the birth of Jesus?
This will allow your spirit to come
before Me, like a small child, to
present its gift of love, as it learns to
worship Me in the same simple
manner as did the shepherds during
the Second Era and with the same
humility the wise men offered Me
when they presented Me their gifts.
82. I have not come to limit the joy
that men feel during these days.
Although celebrating the birth of the
Savior has become a strong tradition,
man also feels My charity that touches
him, My light that enlightens him, and
My love that surrounds him. His heart
becomes filled with great hope, joy,
and tenderness. Although He is
inspired to perform deeds of love and
charity, with his brethren, He does not
always choose to carry out those pure
and elevated deeds; instead, He
chooses to please himself through the
material pleasures of this world. He
does not allow his spirit to attain
purification, salvation, and spiritual
enlightenment by practicing elevated
deeds. The Savior came to earth
during the Second Era to offer
salvation to your spirit, and He
presents himself eternally along your
path in life to help you resurrect
spiritually. (299, 43 - 48)
Chapter 14 - Christianity, Churches, and Worship
147
The Presence of God in spite of
Misguided Worship
83. Since man is in material form,
He must seek Me through material
worship, and as He does not keep his
spiritual eyes open, He must forge My
image in order to see Me. Because He
is not spiritually sensitized, He always
demands material miracles and
evidence to believe in My existence,
and places conditions on serving Me,
on loving Me; and in exchange for all
I give him, He gives Me something.
And so I see all the churches, all the
religions, and all the sects that men
have created on the face of the earth;
they are enveloped in materialism,
fanaticism, and idolatry, as well as
Mystification, falsification, and
profanation.
84. What do I accept from them?
Only their intentions. What, from all
of this, arrives to Me? The spiritual or
physical needs of My children, their
ounce of love, their need for light.
That is what arrives to Me, but I am
with all. I do not contemplate
churches, nor forms, nor rites. I come
to all My children equally. I receive
their spirit in prayer. I draw to
embrace them, so that they feel My
warmth, and that warmth is the
stimulus and encouragement in their
road of vicissitudes and trials. But just
because I know how to receive the
good intentions of humanity, I will
not let them remain forever in
darkness, enveloped in their idolatry
and fanaticism.
85. I want man to wake up, his spirit
to ascend to Me, and that in his
ascension He can behold the true
splendor of the Father, forgetting the
false splendors of the liturgies and
rites. I want him upon achieving his
true ascension to be regenerated and
emancipated from his human
miseries, and able to dominate
materialism, passions, and
vicissitudes, finding himself, so that
He never says to the Father that He is
a vile worm, and knows that the
Father created him in his image and
semblance. (360, 14 - 16)
86. Many religions exist on earth,
and the majorities are based on faith
in Christ, but they do not love one
another, nor even recognize each
other as disciples of the Divine
Master.
87. Do you not believe that if any of
them had understood My Doctrine,
they would have practiced it by
bringing reconciliation and peace to
the people? But it has not been thus.
All of them have remained distanced
from one another, distancing and
dividing men spiritually so that they
see each other as enemies or
strangers. Each seeks means and
arguments to demonstrate to the rest
that He is the possessor of truth and
that the others are wrong; but none
have the strength or courage to
struggle for the unification of all, nor
do they have the good faith to
discover that in each belief and in
each cult exists something of truth.
(326, 19 - 20)
My peace be with you !

149
Chapter 15 - Pseudo - Christians, Mistaken Teachings of the Church
Christians in Name
1. The greatest part of humanity calls
itself Christian, but the Master says to
you: If you were really Christians,
you would already have conquered
the rest of mankind with your love,
humility, and peace; however, My
doctrine, left you in the Second Era, is
not held in the hearts of humanity, it
does not palpitate nor flower in the
works of men, but is guarded in dusty
books, and I have not come to talk
about those books.
2. In place of a book I brought you
My life, My word, My works, and My
passion and death as a man, and that
is the reason that the greater part of
humanity, while calling itself
Christian, has neither the peace nor
the grace of Christ: because they do
not imitate him, and because they do
not practice his Doctrine. (316, 5)
3. Listen to Me, O disciples, so that
you will erase from your mind ancient
beliefs. Christianity was divided into
sects which do not show love among
themselves, which humiliate, reject
and threaten their brethren with false
judgments. I say to you that they are
Christians without love; therefore,
they are not Christians, because Christ
is love.
4. There are those who represent
Jehovah as an oldster, full of human
imperfections, vengeful, cruel and
more dreadful than the worst of your
judges of earth.
5. I do not say this so that you will
ridicule anyone, but that your concept
of the Divine love be purified. Today
you are unaware of how you
worshipped Me in your past. (22, 33 -
35)
6. How is it possible that the people
who call themselves Christians
destroy each other through war and
even pray before going to kill their
brethren, asking Me to give them
victory over their enemies? Is it
possible that My seed can exist where
instead of love hatred prevails, and
instead of forgiveness, vengeance?
(67, 28)
7. To all men of different beliefs and
religions I say to them that they have
not known how to situate the worldly
riches in order to rightfully place that
which corresponds to those of the
spirit. If they were complying with
My laws, they would already be
contemplating the silhouette of the
Promised Land from here and hearing
the echo of the voices of its dwellers.
8. "You say that you believe in My
existence and have faith in My
Divinity; you also say that My will be
done and truly I say to you: How
meager is your faith and your
conformity to what I have disposed!
However, I have been encouraging
within you a true faith so that you
may be strong along the path I have
outlined for you". (70, 12 - 13)
Chapter 15 - Pseudo - Christians, Mistaken Teachings of the Church
150
9. Today I do not come to ask you
for blood, nor that you sacrifice your
life; what I ask of you is love,
sincerity, truth, and unselfishness.
10. Thus I indoctrinate and teach
you, preparing thereby the disciples of
My Divinity in this Third Era; for I
see you watching the march of the
world indifferently, and this is
because you do not know how to enter
the hearts of humanity where there is
so much misery and pain.
11. There is great inequality, for I
see lords who lack only a crown to
call themselves kings, and I see
subjects who are truly slaves. That is
where the struggle has been ignited.
Among these wealthy lords in the
world there are many who call
themselves Christians, yet I tell you
that they barely know My name.
12. Those who do not see their
fellow man in others, who accumulate
wealth and take that which belongs to
others, are not Christians, for they do
not know charity.
13. The struggle between the
spiritual and the material shall come.
Humanity will enter that struggle, but,
oh, how much bitterness they will
have to suffer for the triumph of
justice to arrive! (222, 43 - 45)
Agnostics and Religious Fanatics
14. I tell you, it is better to be full of
uncertainties and denials than full of
false affirmations or lies that you pass
for truth. It is better to make a sincere
denial that is born of doubt or
ignorance than a hypocritical
affirmation of a falsehood. Clean
doubt, which hungers for
understanding, is better than a firm
belief in any Myth. Desperate
uncertainty that shouts for light is
better than fanatical resolution or
idolatry.
15. Today nonbelievers, the
untrusting, and the embittered abound
everywhere. They are rebels who
many times see more clearly than
others, and who do not sympathize
with the ritualism, nor are they
convinced by the affirmations of those
who lead mankind spiritually; for all
of those complicated theories do not
fill the heart that thirsts for pure
waters to calm their anguish.
16. Those you judge rebels often
show more light in their questions
than those who, believing themselves
wise or great, answer them. They feel,
see, touch, hear, and understand with
more clarity than many who call
themselves masters of the Divine
lessons. (248, 12)
17. Oh, how transparent and simple
the truth is! How clear and simple
spirituality is! Nonetheless, they are
difficult to comprehend for He who
remains obstinately in the darkness of
his fanaticism and traditions. His
mind cannot conceive that there is
something beyond what He knows,
and his heart resists renouncing what
for him has been his God and Law:
Tradition and rites.
18. Do you think that I abhor those
who insist on not seeing My truth?
No, My children, My charity is
infinite, and it is precisely those I
Chapter 15 - Pseudo - Christians, Mistaken Teachings of the Church
151
seek, to help them escape from their
captivity so they may feel the ecstasy
of seeing the light. To them are
reserved the trials necessary to
awaken their faith. They are not trials
superior to their strength; they are
lessons wisely appropriate to each
spirit, each life, and each man.
19. It is from among these darkened
minds, from among the hearts sick
with religious fanaticism and
ignorance that you see the great
fervent soldiers of the truth arise, for
the day that they are freed from their
chains and their darkness, and see the
light, they cannot contain their joy,
and shout with all their might that I
have come to save the world raising it
to the true Kingdom on the spiritual
ladder. (318, 48 - 50)
Adulteration of the Doctrine of
Jesus Christ, and its Consequences
20. I give you My word with the
same essence with which I spoke to
you in the Second Era, and I have
come to remind you of many of My
teachings that you had forgotten, or
from which you had withdrawn, due
to erroneous interpretations of your
predecessors.
21. You had complied badly with
My Doctrine to such an extent that I
can say that you had created a path
completely different than mine, but to
which you applied the same name. No
one but I could draw you away from
your error with words of life, love and
truth.
22. That is why today when you are
listening to Me, analyze and
comprehend My Word and there will
be light within you. This is the time
when I come to tell you with all
clearness that the reincarnation of the
spirit exists, that it is so since the
beginning of humanity, like a light of
justice and Divine love, without
which you would be unable to evolve
along the extensive road of spiritual
perfection. (66, 63 - 65)
23. There is really little that the
religions have revealed to humanity
about the spirit, but soon they shall
awaken from their lethargy, and
blessed will be those who overcoming
their scruples and fears, uncover for
humanity the truth they have
concealed. I will illuminate them with
the light of My forgiveness, of My
grace, and My wisdom.
24. When humanity recognizes that
religions do not exist only so that men
live morally on earth, but also have
the mission of leading the spirit to its
eternal dwelling place, humanity will
have taken a step forward on the path
of its spiritual evolution. (109, 15 -
16)
25. After I came to earth through
Jesus in the Second Era, I continued
to sent others to earth who were My
apostles and soldiers to confirm My
doctrine with their deeds and to
prevent humanity from distorting My
teachings. However, many spiritually
deaf and blind have misinterpreted
My Word, disagreeing with each other
and creating different sects. If
mankind is spiritually divided, how
Chapter 15 - Pseudo - Christians, Mistaken Teachings of the Church
152
can man love one another, which is
the main precept of My Law?
26. That is why I say to you, that this
civilization is one in appearance only,
for men themselves destroy it. As
long as humanity does not construct a
world on the foundations of My law
of justice and love, they cannot have
the peace and light of the spirit upon
whose virtues they might forge and
create a world of true elevation, in the
spirit, just as in science and morality.
(192, 17)
27. Only regeneration and the ideal
of perfection will enable you to return
to the path of truth.
28. "Those who regarding
themselves as interpreters of the Law
of God will tell you that infernal
suffering awaits your perversity and
rebelliousness, and that only by
demonstrating your repentance,
mortifying and injuring your bodies
and rendering to God material
offerings, will He forgive you and
guide you to His Kingdom; in truth I
say that they are in confusion".
29. Where will you go, O humanity,
guided by those whom you admire as
great teachers of the holy revelations
and whom I see as confused? That is
why I come to save you with the light
of this Doctrine, which will allow you
to evolve along the path of My love.
(24, 46 - 47)
30. The true essence of My teaching
has been hidden by men to show you
a Christ that does not even resemble
Him, who came to die so that you
might live.
31. Today you are living with the
results of your distancing from the
Master who came to teach you. You
are surrounded by an atmosphere of
pain, your smallness depresses you
and your ignorance torments you, but
the time has come when the hidden
powers and gifts of mankind awaken,
announcing like heralds that the new
Era has arrived.
32. The religions, science, and the
justice of men will try to impede the
advance of what to them will be a
strange and evil influence, but there
will be no power that can stop the
awakening and advancement of the
spirit. The day of liberation is near.
(114, 5 - 8)
33. Those who say they know Me
have represented Me poorly on earth,
and that is why many have turned
their backs on Me.
34. I will not call to account those
who call themselves atheists for
having expelled Me from their hearts,
but rather those who, adulterating the
truth, have shown them a God that
many cannot accept.
35. All that is just, healthy, and good
contains truth, which is what I have
proclaimed throughout all time.
36. The hour has arrived when you
must return to loving the truth, that is,
return to recognizing the just and the
good, since having been born of Me,
you must aspire to the elevated, the
eternal, and the pure. (125, 22 - 24)
Chapter 15 - Pseudo - Christians, Mistaken Teachings of the Church
153
37. Yes, Israel, the heart has always
searched for material objects to adore;
the ear has also enjoyed flowery
words; for this reason, what I gave
you in the Second Era as the Christian
Doctrine, man has modified to make
of it a religion.
38. Selfishness, greed, and vanity
have always awoken in the human
heart, and have become kings and
lords, making the people bow before
them as vassals or slaves, chaining
them with sin, and leading them into
darkness, disorientation, and
confusion. (363, 36)
39. The theologians of this time will
come to scrutinize My word and the
new scriptures, and ask, "Who are you
that speaks this way?" Just as the
scribes and Pharisees rose up in that
time, asking Me: "Who are you, who
comes to ignore and change the Law
of Moses?" Then I shall make them
understand that the three revelations
are the only Law that I have always
come to teach and to fulfill.
40. Many of those who judge Me at
this stage are from among those who
doubted in the Second Era, but I have
kept them and sent them again to
earth to behold the triumph of My
Law and to open their eyes to the
light. (234, 46 - 47)
Mistaken Evolutions and
Irregularities of Christianity
41. A great part of humanity calls
itself Christian, without knowing the
meaning of the word Christ, and
without knowing his Doctrine.
42. What did you do with My Word,
My examples, and with My Doctrine
that I gave to you in that time?
43. Are you currently more evolved
than the men of that era? Why do you
not show it with the works of your
spirit? Do you think that this life is
eternal, or that you need evolve only
through human science?
44. I have come to teach you the true
fulfillment of the Law, so that you
may convert this world into a great
temple where the true God will be
adored, and where the life of man is a
constant offering of love to his Father,
whom He must love in each one of his
fellows, giving tribute thereby to his
Creator and Master.
45. And now that I have returned to
mankind, what do I find? Lies and
selfishness have replaced truth and
charity; arrogance and vanity in place
of meekness and humility; idolatry,
fanaticism, and ignorance instead of
light, elevation, and spirituality; profit
and profanation where only piety and
righteousness should be; hatred and
war unleashed among brothers have
been substituted for peace and love.
46. But I shall come to My temple to
expel from it the merchants, just as I
did in the Second Era from the temple
of Jerusalem, and once again I shall
say unto them: "Do not make this
house of prayer into a market." I shall
teach men so that each one of them
knows how to officiate at the true
altar, so that they are no longer
confused and lost in ignorance due to
the misinterpretations they give to My
Law. (154, 15 - 20)
Chapter 15 - Pseudo - Christians, Mistaken Teachings of the Church
154
47. Not all who have tried to follow
Me have imitated My example, or that
of My apostles. Many have become
lords instead of servants; they have
filled their hearts with superiority and
pride and have pursued only riches,
pomp, and honors, forgetting the
necessities of the poor, and being
indifferent and insensitive to the
misery and suffering of others. That is
why men go from one religion to
another in search of truth. That is the
origin of the spiritual need they feel to
create new sects in order to seek Me
freely.
48. Those seen yesterday as saints
and demigods are today unknown by a
disillusioned humanity.
49. Men stop going in search of a
confessor to absolve them of their
faults, because they find it
undignified. And the threat of hell and
its eternal fire no longer impresses or
frightens the heart of the sinner.
50. Taking advantage of that
spiritual disorientation, the wolf
watches from the brush.
51. Every minister and every
representative of My Divinity has the
mission of making peace between
men, and what I find them doing
today is the contrary. Each one
believes himself to be first; each
wants to be the strongest, forgetting
that the only strong one is I, who am
in everyone.
52. Now you can explain to
yourselves why in the Second Era I
promised to return. Now you can
understand why I have come to teach
you again. For only My word can
remove the blindfold of darkness of
the spirit, only My love is capable of
redeeming your sins. (230, 23 - 28)
53. Over the great faults and errors
that have been made in My Law, there
shall be My justice; not a single fault
will remain uncorrected by the perfect
Master. Do not be confused: correct
yourselves rather than judge.
Understand, I never punish you, you
punish yourselves.
54. I give light to He who has sinned
through ignorance, and who has
sinned knowingly I move toward
repentance, so that both, filled with
the strength of My forgiveness arise to
repair the wrong done; this is the only
way to come to Me.
55. Think in all of this, you ministers
who lead men by the different paths
of the religions. Pray, and lead yours
toward spirituality. It is time already
for you to repent of your errors, for
you to initiate a battle against human
materialism, which is the death and
darkness for the spirit. For this you
must use My truth; wield My word
like a weapon, and live in My
teachings.
56. I do not prefer one religion or
another; It is not I, but you, who must
be on My side, for if you do so, you
will have succeeded in uniting all in
the spirit. (162, 27 - 30)
57. My doctrine, full of spirituality,
will germinate in the hearts of this
people (the mexican audience) to give
future fruits of truth and life. My word
will extend across the earth and will
Chapter 15 - Pseudo - Christians, Mistaken Teachings of the Church
155
leave no place unpurified, without
light, or unjudged.
58. Then the peoples will begin to
awaken to the spiritual life, to what is
true and eternal, destroying the
externalities and materialism of the
different cults, to content themselves
with seeking the essence of My Law.
59. Humanity will see the strength
that spirituality gives, and turn their
gaze from that which held them for
centuries and centuries.
60. What does it profit that the
symbol of Christianity, the cross, is
found upon millions on the earth, if
men are not of good will, and if they
do not love one another.
61. The outward already has no
power over men. There is no respect,
nor faith, nor sorrow at having
offended. That is why I say that
symbols and forms will disappear,
because their time has passed, and it
will be interior worship that rises man
to the light, elevates him, and leads
him to Me. (280, 63 - 67)
My peace be with you !

IV. The Law, the Love of God and Fellow Men
Chapter 16 - The Divine Law (The Law of God)
The Power of Divine Law
1. There are many men who judge
My Doctrine out of its time, that is
because their material nature does not
allow them to see the eternal aspect of
My lessons.
2. My Law is unchanging, it is men
who with their cultures, civilizations,
and laws, pass, leaving only what the
spirit has built with its works of love
and charity. It is the spirit, that after
every day of work and every trial,
upon querying the Arcane, beholds
the unmovable stone of My Law and
the ever open book that contains the
Doctrine of the Spirit. (104, 31 - 32)
3. I have poured My light forth over
all men, revealing to them the only
existing truth, but you see how each
man and each people, feels, thinks,
believes, and interprets it differently.
4. These different ways of thinking
that men have, have given origin to
their divisions, since each people or
race follows different paths and also
nourishes different ideals.
5. The majority have departed from
the true illuminated path. They
believe that fulfilling the Divine Law
implies sacrifices, denial, and
superhuman effort, preferring to
create for themselves religions and
sects whose rules and practices are
easier for them to fulfill, believing
that thereby they can calm the need
for light and elevation that their spirit
feels.
6. Many centuries and eras have
passed without humans realizing that
fulfilling My Law is not a sacrifice for
them, but rather that they do sacrifice
spirit and flesh in the world by
denying My commandments. They
have not realized, have not wanted to
understand, that who complies with
My word must find true happiness,
and a peace, wisdom, and grandeur
that materialized men see in such a
different way.
7. The moral and scientific world
that surrounds you has been the work
of men of material ideas who have
sought the material improvement of
humanity, and I have permitted them
to do their work, to take it to its limits,
to know the results and gather their
fruits, so that in them they can gather
the light of experience. In that light
My justice will be manifest, and in
that justice will be present My Law,
which is Love. (313, 60 - 64)
8. If I agreed to allow you to apply
My doctrine to your lives according to
your own will rather than mine, truly I
tell you that you would never recover
from your spiritual stagnation, never
allowing your spirit its unfolding, its
development, and its perfection.
9. And so there you have humanity
drowsing in its religions, making no
move toward the light because they
Chapter 16 - The Divine Law (The Law of God)
158
have not submitted themselves to the
order of the Divine law, but have tried
to force the law to their own will,
filling it with Myths and errors.
10. It has been necessary for many
men of this Era to free themselves of
all religion in order to seek Me with
the spirit, and to be able to develop all
those attributes, gifts, and potentials
that they feel beating in the innermost
part of their being. (205, 6 - 8)
The Commandment of the Love of
God in the Spiritualist Work
11. "It is your God who speaks to
you, My voice is the Law; today you
are hearing it anew without the
necessity of inscribing it upon a rock,
or sending My Incarnate Word among
you. It is My Divine voice that
reaches your spirit and reveals to it
the beginning of an Era in which man
will be justified, reconciled with His
Creator and purified as it is written".
(15, 8)
12. I gave you the perfect lesson
through Jesus. Analyze My passage
through the world as a man from birth
to death, and you will have an
explanation of love in its perfect
living form.
13. I do not come to ask you to be
equal to Jesus, for in Him there was
that which you cannot reach:
perfection in the form of a man, for in
Him was God himself in limited form,
but I do tell you that you must imitate
him.
14. My eternal Law has always
spoken to you of that love. I said to
you in the first times: "Love God with
all your heart and spirit," and "Love
your neighbor as yourself."
15. Later I gave you these
inspirations: "Love your brothers as
the Father has loved you," and "Love
one another."
16. In this time I have told you to
love God before all creation, to love
God in all that exists, and all that
exists in God; that you practice
charity and more charity with your
brothers in order to see the Father in
all his splendor, for charity is love.
(167, 15 - 19)
17. "I will not even say to you that
this Doctrine of Spirituality will be a
worldwide religion, because I never
granted you a religion, but a Law; I
limit Myself to telling you that the
Law that will triumph on earth, and
which will be established in it to
illuminate the existence of men, will
be the Law of love which I have
explained in My Doctrine so that you
understand it fully".
18. Mankind will still perform many
false deeds of love and charity, until it
learns to love and practice true
charity, and many will go from
religion to religion until their spirit
elevates itself in knowledge and
reaches an understanding that the only
Law, the universal and eternal
Doctrine of the spirit, is the Law of
love which everyone will attain.
19. All the religions will disappear
and only the light of the Temple of
God will remain shining within and
outside of man, in which everyone
Chapter 16 - The Divine Law (The Law of God)
159
will render only one worship of
obedience, of love, of faith and good
will. (12, 63 - 65)
The Failure to Obey the Divine
Commandments and its
Consequences
20. On this dawn of commemoration
I ask you: What have you done with
the Law that I conveyed to mankind
through Moses? By chance, were
those commandments given only to
the generations of that period?
21. "Truly I say to you: That holy
seed is not in the hearts of men, for
they do not love Me nor do they love
one another; they do not honor their
parents nor respect what belongs to
others and on the other hand, they do
take each other's lives, they adulterate
and cause disgrace upon themselves".
22. Do you not hear falsehood on the
lips of everyone? Have you not
realized how one people, defrauds
other people of their peace? And still
mankind says it knows My Law.
What would become of men if they
forget My mandates completely? (15,
1 - 3)
23. In the Second Era, having
entered Jerusalem, Jesus found that
the temple, the place dedicated to
prayer and worship, had been
converted into a market. And the
Master, filled with passion, cast out
those who had disrespected the
temple, saying to them, "My Father's
house is not a market place." Those
who were cast out were less guilty for
what they did than those who were
responsible for guiding men in the law
of God. The priests had converted the
temple into a place where ambitions
and grandeur reigned, and that
kingdom was destroyed.
24. Today, I have not taken a whip
to punish those who disrespect My
law. I have allowed them to feel the
consequences of their own faults so
that they may realize that My law is
inflexible and unchangeable. I have
pointed out to man the righteous path
that He needs to follow. If He departs
from it, He exposes himself to the
consequences of having broken My
righteous law where My love is
manifested. (41, 55 - 56)
25. I come to reconstruct My temple,
a temple without walls or towers, for
it is in the hearts of men.
26. The Tower of Babel still divides
humanity, but its foundations shall be
destroyed in the hearts of man.
27. Idolatry and religious fanaticism
have also raised their high towers, but
they are weak, and shall fall.
28. Truly I tell you, that My laws,
Divine and human, are sacred, and
they themselves shall judge the world.
29. Humanity does not believe it is
idolatrous, but truly I tell you, it still
adores the golden calf. (122, 57)
30. Chaos has returned because
virtue does not exist, and where there
is no virtue, there can be no truth. It is
not that the Law which the Father
conferred to Moses has no force, nor
that the doctrine of Jesus was only
applicable to past times. Both of them
Chapter 16 - The Divine Law (The Law of God)
160
in their essences are eternal laws;
recognize, however, that they are like
a fountain from whose waters none
are obliged to drink, but that whoever
approaches that fountain of love does
so through their own will. (144, 56)
31. Interpret My teachings justly. Do
not think that My Spirit is happy to
see your suffering on the earth, or that
I come to deprive you of all that is
gratifying to you in order to enjoy it
Myself. I come to make you recognize
and respect My laws, because they are
worthy of your obedience and respect,
and because complying with them
will bring you happiness.
32. I taught you to render unto God
what is God's and to Caesar what is
Caesar's, but for the men of today
there is only Caesar, and to your Lord
you have nothing to offer. If you at
least gave what was fair to the world,
your pains would be less; but the
Caesar that you have put before you
has dictated absurd laws for you, and
has made you slaves and taken your
lives from you without giving you
anything in compensation.
33. Study how different is My Law,
which does not tie either the body or
the spirit, it merely persuades you
with love and guides you with
sweetness; it gives you all without
interest or selfishness, and rewards all
and compensates all along the road.
(155, 14 - 16)
Fulfillment of the Supreme
Commandment
34. If the Lord said to you: "Thou
shall love the Lord thy God with all
thy heart and spirit, and love thy
neighbor as thyself," and if the Master
preached the Doctrine of Love, this
spiritual voice that proceeds from the
same source, now comes to tell you to
embrace the Law of Love, because it
has a strength that you will not find
even in the greatest armies of the
world. Its conquests shall be firm and
lasting, for all that you build upon a
foundation of love has eternal life.
(293, 67)
35. I am showing you the true life of
the spirit, so that you do not live
under unjust threats, and so that you
do not obey My law only because you
fear God's punishment. You have
been told about that punishment by
those who have not known how to
interpret My word.
36. Take My law. It is not
complicated nor difficult to
understand. Anyone who knows it and
guides himself by it will not be
confused. Neither does He give room
to false words or omens, to erroneous
ideas, or wrong interpretations.
37. My law is simple. It always
indicates the way which you should
follow. Trust in Me. I am the way
which will lead you to the white city,
the promised land, which has it doors
open awaiting your arrival. (32, 9)
Chapter 16 - The Divine Law (The Law of God)
161
38. When will you realize that only
by fulfilling My law will you be able
to find health, happiness, and life?
39. You acknowledge that in the
material life there are principles that
one needs to follow in order to
survive. However, you have forgotten
that there are also important spiritual
principles that need to be respected so
that one may enjoy the source of
eternal life in the Divine kingdom.
(188, 62)
40. Remember that only I am your
salvation. In times past, present, and
yet to come, My Law was, is, and will
be the road and the guide of your
spirit.
41. Blessed shall be those who trust
in My Law, for they shall never be
lost in the crossing of the ways. They
shall come to the Promised Land, and
give voice to the hymn of triumph.
(225, 31 - 32)
42. I know that the greater your
knowledge of Me, the more you will
love Me.
43. When I tell you to "love Me," do
you know what I truly want to tell
you? I am telling you to love truth, to
love life, to love enlightenment, to
love one another, and to love the true
life. (297, 57 - 58)
44. I wish that just as I love you, you
love one another, and yourselves as
well, for I have conceded to you not
just a part of the guidance and
direction, but rather taking care of
yourselves, I have made your first
duty with Me; you must love
yourselves, since you are the living
image of your creator. (133, 72)
45. The mission that I have entrusted
to My people on earth is both great
and very delicate, and that is why I
have sought them out in every Era to
inspire them with My Word and
reveal to them something more of the
content of the Law.
46. The law of love, of good, and of
justice has been the spiritual
inheritance that I have brought in
every era. From lesson to lesson, I
have led humanity to the
understanding that the law can be
summarized in one single
commandment: Love. Love the
Father, who is the author of life; love
your brother, who is part of the
Father, and love all that the Lord has
created and ordered.
47. Love is the cause, the principle,
the seed of wisdom, of grandeur, of
strength, of elevation, and of life. That
is the true road traced by the Creator
for the spirit, so that step by step, and
dwelling to dwelling, you continue
feeling ever closer to Me.
48. If from the beginning of time,
mankind had created a cult of spiritual
love, instead of falling into idolatrous
rites and religious fanaticism, this
world, today made into a valley of
tears by men's anguish and misery,
would be a valley of peace, to which
spirits would come to gain merit in
order to reach those spiritual dwelling
places that a spirit on its road of
elevation must enter after this life.
(184, 35 - 38)
My peace be with you !

Chapter 17 - The New Way of Worshiping God
The Evolution of Worship Services
1. How slowly mankind walks
toward perfection in their worship of
God.
2. Every time I come to you with a
new lesson, it seems to you too
advanced for your evolution;
understand that I give you an entire
Era to come to understand it and to
integrate it into your lives. (99, 30 -
31)
3. "The victims that you offered
upon the altar of Jehovah were
received by Him, but it was not the
most adequate form to elevate your
spirit to the Father; it was then when I
came to you as Jesus to teach you the
Divine commandment which says to
you: 'Love one another'".
4. "I say to you today that the
lessons I taught you during the
Second Era through the deeds of Jesus
have been altered at times and
misinterpreted on others; for that
purpose I have come as I announced,
to clarify My truth. My sacrifice in
that period prevented the sacrifice of
many victims and I taught you a more
perfect worship."
5. My new manifestation of this
period will allow mankind to
understand that the symbolic forms
should not be adopted without first
analyzing their significance, since
they are only a representation of My
lessons. (74, 28)
6. Prayer is the spiritual medium that
I have inspired in man so that He may
communicate with My Divinity, that
is why it manifests in you as a
yearning, a necessity of the spirit, as a
refuge in times of trial.
7. Who does not know true prayer,
does not understand the joys
contained in it, and does not know the
source of health and goodness to be
found in it. They feel the impulse to
speak to Me and present their
petitions, but lacking spirituality, they
feel that the offering of sending up
only their thoughts is so meager that
they instantly look for something
material to offer Me, thinking that
with that they will flatter Me more.
8. It is in this fashion that humanity
has fallen into idolatry, fanaticism,
rites, and external worship, drowning
their spirits and depriving themselves
of the blessed liberty of praying
directly to their Father. Only when the
pain is very intense, when the pain is
at the limits of their human strength
does the spirit, forgetting ceremony
and knocking over idols, frees himself
and arises to cry from deep within:
"My Father, My God!"
9. Do you see people occupied
making war on one another in this
materialistic time? Yet, I tell you,
even in the middle of these wars,
many men have found the secret of
prayer: that which is born of the heart
and comes to Me as an urgent call, a
protest, as a plea.
Chapter 17 - The New Way of Worshiping God
164
10. When they see the requested
miracle happen, they know that no
other way exists for speaking to God
than with the language of the spirit.
(261, 22 - 24 and 27)
Prayers by rote, Empty of Devotion
and Faith
11. O! My children of all faiths, do
not destroy the most noble sentiments
of the spirit or try to satisfy it with
external practices and worships!
12. Behold: If a mother does not
have something material to offer her
beloved and small child, she holds
him against her heart, blesses him
with all her love, smothers him with
kisses, gazes at him tenderly, covers
him with tears, but never does she try
to deceive him with empty acts of
love.
13. How can you conceive that I, the
Divine Master, approve of you
satisfying yourselves with practices
lacking all essence, truth and love,
with which you try to deceive your
spirit, making it believe that it has
been nourished, when in reality each
time it is more ignorant of the truth?
(21, 20 - 21)
14. Prayer is a blessing which God
has granted to man so that it will serve
him as a ladder to elevate himself, as
a weapon to defend himself, as a book
to educate himself, and as a healing
balsam with which to anoint himself
and to heal all illness.
15. True prayer has disappeared
from the earth. Men no longer pray,
and when they try to do it, instead of
speaking to Me with the spirit, they do
it with their lips, employing useless
words, rituals, and material idols.
How are men going to observe
miracles if they use forms and observe
practices which Jesus did not teach?
16. It is necessary that true prayer
return to men, and it is I who have
come again to teach it to you. (39, 12
- 14)
17. Teach your brothers how to pray,
make them comprehend that it is their
spirits which must communicate with
their Creator, that their prayers are
almost always [mere] cries of the
material form: an expression of their
anguish, proof of their lack of faith,
and of their mistrust or lack of
obedience to Me.
18. Make your brothers understand
that they do not need to mortify or
lacerate their bodies to move My
Spirit and awaken My pity or charity.
Those who seek suffering or bodily
penitence do so because they do not
have the slightest idea of which
offerings are most pleasing to Me, nor
do they have any idea of the love and
mercy of your Father.
19. Do you think it is necessary for
Me to see the tears in your eyes or the
pain in your hearts for Me to have pity
on you? To believe so would be to
attribute to Me hardness, insensitivity,
indifference, and selfishness. Can you
imagine these defects in the God you
love?
20. How little care you have taken to
know Me! And it is because you have
Chapter 17 - The New Way of Worshiping God
165
not educated your minds to think in
accord with the spirit. (278, 17 - 20)
21. Leave the earth for a few
moments today, and come to Me in
spirit.
22. For many centuries humanity has
been mistaken in its manner of
praying, and has therefore not
strengthened or illuminated the path
of their lives with My love, for they
have prayed with the senses, and not
with the spirit.
23. Idolatry, to which man is so
inclined, has been like a poison that
has not allowed them to taste the
spiritual delights of inner prayer.
24. How much misery men have
dragged behind them simply from not
knowing how to pray. And, yet, My
disciples, it is natural: What spiritual
strength can a human being have to
resist the trials of life if they do
nothing to come closer to the source
of life that exists in My Spirit? They
seek Me in the abyss, and in shadows,
even while they could elevate
themselves to find Me on the heights,
in the light.
25. Oh, if the men of this time
understood the power of prayer; how
many superhuman works they would
perform! But they live in a time of
materialism in which they try to put
even the Divine in material form in
order to be able to see and touch it.
(282, 61 - 64)
True Prayer
26. I bless those who pray, and the
more spiritual the prayer, the greater
the peace I make them feel.
27. This you can understand easily;
for He who needs to prostrate himself
before images or objects to feel the
Divine presence cannot feel the
spiritual sensation of the Father’s
presence in his heart.
28. "Blessed are they that have not
seen, yet believe," I said in that time,
and again today; for He who closes
his eyes to that which is of this world
opens them to the spiritual. And He
who has faith in My spiritual presence
shall feel and rejoice in it.
29. For how long will this humanity
deprive its spirit of the joy of feeling
Me in their hearts through direct
prayer, or, what is the same, by means
of spirit to Spirit prayer? Until My
light illuminates the lives of men, and
they learn the truth and understand
their errors.
30. This is the time for prayer and
meditation, but prayer free of
fanaticism and idolatry, and of
meditation that is serene and deeply
immersed in My Divine Word.
31. Every hour and every place can
be appropriate for prayer and
meditation. Never in My teachings did
I tell you that there were places or
times destined for prayer. Your spirit
being greater than the world it
inhabits, why confine Me to such
limited images and sites when I am
infinite?
32. The greatest reason for the
earthly troubles and spiritual poverty
Chapter 17 - The New Way of Worshiping God
166
of men is their imperfect form of
prayer; it is for this reason that I tell
you that this knowledge must reach all
humanity. (279, 2 - 7)
33. You do not always pray with the
same preparation, and therefore, you
do not always experience the same
peace or the same inspiration.
34. There are times in which you
succeed in becoming inspired and
elevating your thoughts, and there are
others in which you are completely
indifferent. How could you always
expect to receive My messages in the
same form? You should educate your
minds and even your bodies to
cooperate with your spirit in moments
of prayer.
35. The spirit is always willing to
communicate with Me, but it requires
the good will of the material body in
order to elevate itself in those
moments and to free itself of
everything which surrounds it in its
earthly life.
36. Make an effort to achieve true
prayer because whoever knows how
to pray, carries in himself the key to
peace, to health, to hope, to spiritual
strength, and to eternal life.
37. The invisible shield of My law
protects him against all temptation
and dangers. He will bear an invisible
sword on his lips to defeat as many
enemies as might block his path. A
ray of light will light his way amidst
the storms, a constant miracle will be
at his reach whenever He needs it,
whether for himself or for the good of
his brothers.
38. Pray. Practice that sublime gift
of the spirit, for that strength shall be
the one to move the life of men of the
future, those who will be able to
communicate with Me from spirit to
Spirit.
39. Parents will become inspired
through prayer in order to guide their
children.
40. The ill will gain health through
prayer. Heads of states will resolve
their great problems seeking light
with prayer, and the man of science
also will receive revelations through
the gift of prayer. (40, 40 - 47)
41. Disciples, in the Second Era, My
Apostles asked Me how they should
pray, and I taught them the perfect
prayer, which you call the Lord's
Prayer.
42. Now I tell you: Be inspired by
that prayer, by its meaning, its
humility, and its faith, so that your
spirit communicates with Mine, for it
will not be your material lips that
pronounce those holy words, but your
spirit that speaks to Me in its own
language. (136, 64)
43. Do not let it be only your lips
that call Me "Father," for many of you
tend to do this by rote. I wish that
when you say "Our Father who art in
Heaven, hallowed be thy name," those
words come from the purest part of
your being, meditating on each one of
the phrases so that you are afterward
inspired and in perfect communion
with Me.
Chapter 17 - The New Way of Worshiping God
167
44. I taught you the powerful,
masterly Word; that which truly
brings the child closer to his Father.
Upon pronouncing, with respect and
sincerity, with elevation and love,
with faith and hope the word "Father,"
distances disappear, and spaces are
shortened, for in that instant of spirit
to Spirit communication, nor is God
far from you, nor are you far from
Him. Pray thus, and in your hearts
you will receive great benefits of love.
(166, 52 - 53)
The Four Aspects of True Prayer
45. Struggle, struggle to reach
spiritual perfection. I have shown you
the road to reach that goal. I have
given you prayer, a weapon more
powerful than any material one, so
that you can defend yourselves from
the trials on the road, but you will
have the best weapon when you obey
My Law.
46. What does prayer consist of?
Prayer is petition, intercession,
adoration and contemplation. Each of
the parts are necessary and one
springs from the other, for truly I tell
you, that petitioning means that man
pleads with Me to concede to him
what He wishes, to satisfy the
yearnings that He believes to be the
most important and healthiest of his
life; truly I tell you, My children, that
the Father hears the petitions and
gives to each one that which He most
needs, as long as it is for his own
good. But be careful about asking for
that which is in opposition to the
salvation of your spirit, for those who
ask only for material gifts, material
pleasures, or earthly power, are asking
for chains for their spirit.
47. Material pleasures bring only
suffering, not only in this world, but
even after the transition to the
spiritual world, for the influence of
those material desires can reach even
to that place, and on being unable to
free oneself from them, one is
tormented by those yearnings, and
wishes a thousand and one times to
return to the earth to be reincarnated
and continue living materially.
Therefore, My children, ask only for
that which you really need for the
good of your spirit.
48. The second form of prayer,
intercession, springs from love of
one's neighbor, from the love that I
showed you as Master when I came to
this world. Pray for your brothers,
both near and far, for those in nations
suffering the consequences of war,
and those suffering the tyranny of
temporary governments in this world.
49. Prepare yourselves, oh My
children! Pray for your brothers and
sisters, but also during the
intercession, you must know how to
ask, for it is the spirit that is
important. If your brother or sister,
your parents, or your children are ill,
pray for them, but do not insist that
they stay in this life if that is not what
the spirit needs. Better to ask that their
spirit be free, that it be purified of its
sufferings, and that the pain promote
spiritual elevation. That is why the
Master taught you in the Second Era
to say: "Father, your will be done."
Chapter 17 - The New Way of Worshiping God
168
For the Father knows better than any
of his children, what the spirit needs.
50. The third form of prayer,
adoration of the Divine Spirit, means
the adoration of all that is perfect, for
by means of that prayer you may unite
with that perfection, with the love that
embraces all the Universe. In
adoration you may find the perfect
state that each of you must achieve,
and through adoration, arrive at the
contemplation that, united to prayer,
will bring you to unity with the
Divine Spirit, to the source of eternal
life, to the source that day after day
gives you the strength to come to the
Kingdom of the Father.
51. In this way you should pray,
beginning with petition, until arriving
at contemplation. This is what gives
you strength.
52. When you are well prepared, you
will struggle not only for yourselves,
but also for your brothers to move
along on this road. For you cannot
achieve salvation for yourselves
alone, but rather must struggle to
achieve the salvation of humanity.
(358, 10 - 17)
Intimate and Spontaneous Prayer
without Words
53. My people, you now hear the
voice of the Holy Spirit, the spiritual
manifestation of God through your
understanding, not to reveal a new
law nor a new doctrine, but a form
that is more advanced, spiritual and
perfect, to worship and communicate
with God. (293, 66)
54. How many are their who hear
My word, who have become great
analyzers, and who nonetheless, are
not the best of My disciples in
practicing My Doctrine, and who do
not fulfill the Divine precept which
tells you: "Love one another."
55. In contrast, see how easily He
who puts into practice even an atom
of My teachings is transformed. Do
you want an example?
56. One who during his entire life
had been telling Me He loved Me
through recited prayers formed by
others, in sentences that He did not
even understand because they were
made up of words He did not know,
one day suddenly understood the true
way to pray, and putting aside his old
habits, and concentrating in the depths
of his being, raised his thoughts to
God, and for the first time felt his
presence.
57. He did not know what to say to
his Lord, and from his chest came
forth sobs and from his eyes tears fell.
In his mind, there was only a single
thought, which was: "My Father, what
can I say to you, since I do not know
how to speak to you?"
58. But those tears, those sobs, that
inner joy, and even his turmoil, spoke
to the Father in a language so
beautiful, that its like cannot ever be
found in any of your human
languages, nor in any of your books.
59. Those stuttered words of that
man who began to pray to his Lord
spiritually, were like the first words of
a child, charming and delightful to its
parents, for they are hearing the first
Chapter 17 - The New Way of Worshiping God
169
expressions of a being beginning to
arise into life. (281, 22 - 24)
60. The elevated spirit knows that
the human word impoverishes and
diminishes the expression of the
spiritual thought; for that reason, it
silences the lips of the flesh in order
to elevate and express itself with a
language which only God
understands, the secret which it has
concealed within its innermost being.
(11, 69)
61. How much pleasure you give to
My Spirit when I see that you elevate
your thoughts in search of your
Father. I allow you to feel My
presence, and I fill you with peace.
62. "Seek Me, speak to Me, and do
not let it bother you that your thoughts
are slow to express your petitions. I
will know how to understand them.
Speak to Me with the confidence with
which one speaks to a Father. Tell Me
about your concerns as you would tell
them to your best friend. Ask Me
what you do not know or
comprehend, and I will speak to you
as a teacher; but pray, so that at that
blessed instant in which your spirit
elevates itself to Me, you might
receive the light, the strength, the
blessing, and the peace which your
Father grants you". (36, 15)
63. Tell Me in silence your sorrows,
confide to Me your yearnings. Though
I know all, I wish you to learn to form
your own prayer until you come to
practice the perfect communication of
your spirit with the Father. (110, 31)
64. Prayer can be long or brief
according to the need. You may, if
you so desire, spend long hours within
that spiritual ecstasy if your physical
body does not become tired, or if
some other duty does not require your
attention. And prayer may be as brief
as a single second if you find
yourselves subjected to some trial
which has suddenly surprised you.
65. What reaches Me are not the
words with which your mind attempts
to form your prayers, but the love, the
faith, or the need with which you
present yourselves before Me. That is
why I tell you that there will be times
when your prayer will be no more
than a second, for there will be no
time to formulate thoughts, phrases,
and ideas as you are accustomed to
doing.
66. Wherever you are, you can
summon Me, for the place is of no
importance to Me since what I seek is
the spirit. (40, 36 - 38)
67. In the Second Era, when a
woman asked Jesus if the place where
one ought to worship God was in
Jerusalem, the Master answered her:
"The hour comes, when neither in
Jerusalem nor any other place will be
the proper place to worship God, for
He shall be worshipped in spirit and
truth, that is from spirit to Spirit.
68. When My disciples asked Me to
teach them to pray, I gave them as a
norm the prayer you call the Lord's
Chapter 17 - The New Way of Worshiping God
170
Prayer, giving them to understand that
the true and perfect prayer is that
similar to that of Jesus, one which is
born spontaneously of the heart and
ascends to the Father. It must contain
obedience, humility, confession,
gratitude, faith, hope, and adoration.
(162, 23 - 24)
Daily Prayer
69. Beloved disciples: Practice
spiritual prayer daily, putting into it
all your intention of coming to
perfection.
70. See that in addition to entering
into intimate communion with your
Master and experiencing an infinite
peace in those moments, it also
represents the best opportunity for
you to receive My Divine
inspirations; in them you will find the
explanation for all that you have not
understood, or that you have
misunderstood. You will find the way
to avoid some danger, to resolve a
problem, or to resolve some
confusion. In that hour of blessed
spiritual communication all your
senses will clear and you will feel
more disposed and inclined to do
good. (308, 1)
71. Do not forsake the practice of
prayer even when it is as brief as only
five minutes, but in it know how to
make a good examination with the
light of your conscience, in order to
observe your deeds and know what
you have to correct.
72. If you lose the sense of time
while elevating yourself in prayer,
that will be an indication of
spirituality, since you, even for a few
moments, managed to go beyond
time, that time which the slaves of
materialism only use for their
enjoyments or to increase their
wealth.
73. He who examines himself daily
has to improve his manner of
thinking, living, speaking and feeling.
(12, 30 - 32)
74. I have taught you that through
the prayer wisdom will be acquired,
but that is no reason that I want for
you to prolong your prayers. I have
asked you for a prayer of five minutes
and by that I mean to say for you to
pray briefly so that during those
moments you will truly surrender
yourselves to your Father and the rest
of your time you can dedicate it to
your spiritual and material duties
toward your brethren. (78, 52)
75. I will teach you a manner of
preparing yourselves so that your
actions of each day are all inspired by
noble sentiments, and so that the
vicissitudes and difficulties do not
stop you or force you back. When you
open your eyes to a new day, pray,
come to Me in your thoughts; form
your plan inspired in My light, and
rise up to struggle, determined to be
strong and not lacking either
obedience or faith for an instant.
76. Truly I tell you, before much
time has passed you will marvel at
your strength and at the results of
your works. (262, 7 - 8)
Chapter 17 - The New Way of Worshiping God
171
The Day of Rest as a Period of
Reflection
77. From the First Era I taught you
to consecrate the seventh day to Me.
If during six days man dedicates
himself to fulfilling his human duties,
it was just, that one day at least, be
dedicated to the service of the Lord. I
did not ask that He consecrate the first
day, but the last, so that He might rest
from his labors and devote himself to
meditation, giving to his spirit the
opportunity to approach the Father to
converse with Him through prayer.
78. The day of rest was instituted so
that man, forgetting at least for a
moment the difficult earthly struggle,
would allow his conscience to talk to
him, to remind him of the Law, to
examine himself, and to repent of his
faults and form within his heart the
noble purpose of repentance.
79. Saturday is the day that was
previously dedicated to rest, prayer,
and the study of the Law, but the
people, in complying with the
tradition, forgot the sentiments for
humanity and the spiritual duties that
they had toward their fellows.
80. Time passed, humanity evolved
spiritually, and Christ came to teach
you that even in the day of rest you
should practice charity and good
works of all kinds.
81. Jesus wished to say to you that
one day was dedicated to meditation
and physical rest, but you must
understand, that for the undertaking of
the mission of the spirit, there can be
no day or time designated.
82. In spite of the Master having
spoken quite clearly, men distanced
themselves, each one seeking the day
that was the most propitious to them,
and so, while some continued
retaining Saturday as the day of rest,
others adopted Sunday to celebrate
their worships.
83. Today I come to speak to you
once again, and My teachings shall
bring you new knowledge; you have
lived many experiences, and have
evolved. Today it is not important
which day you dedicate to rest from
earthly fatigues, but it is important
that you know that every day you
must walk on the path that I have laid
out for you. Understand that there is
no fixed time for you to send your
prayers upward, for it is proper for
you to pray and practice My Doctrine
in favor of your brothers at all times.
(166, 31 - 35)
Ask, and it shall be Given
84. All of you bear a wound in your
hearts. Who better than I to penetrate
to your interior? I know your
bitterness, your sadness and
discouragement before such injustice
and ingratitude as exist in your world;
I know the fatigue of those who have
lived and struggled on the earth, and
whose existence is for them a heavy
burden; I know the emptiness of those
who remain alone in this life. I say to
you all: "Ask and it shall be given,"
for this have I come, to give you what
you need of Me, whether that be
company, tranquility, balm, missions,
or light. (262, 72)
Chapter 17 - The New Way of Worshiping God
172
85. Do not be afraid of misery.
Misery is temporary and in it you
should pray, imitating the patience of
Job. Abundance will return and you
will not find the words with which to
thank Me.
86. "When sickness overwhelms
you, O, blessed sick people, do not
despair! Your spirit is not ailing;
elevate yourselves to Me in prayer
and your faith and spirituality will
return the health of your body. Pray in
the manner that I have taught you:
spiritually". (81, 43 - 44)
87. During your moments of an
ordeal, pray with a brief but pure and
sincere prayer. Then you will feel
comforted. And when you succeed in
being in harmony with your Lord, I
will be able to tell you that My will is
yours, and your will is mine. (35, 7)
88. Pray, but let your prayer be
formed by your intentions and actions
of the day, that will be your best
prayer; but if you wish to direct a
thought to Me, containing a petition,
say then to Me: "Father, your will
shall be done in me." You will be
asking even more thereby than you
could hope or understand, and in that
simple phrase, that thought, you
simplify the "Lord's Prayer" that you
asked Me for in another time.
89. There you have the prayer that
asks all and that speaks best for you.
But do not say it with your lips, but
rather feel it with your heart, for
saying is not feeling, and if you feel it,
you do not need to say it. I know how
to hear the voice of the spirit and
understand its language: What greater
joy can there be for you than to know
that? Did you think that I needed you
to tell Me what to do? (247, 52 - 54)
90. I have taught you to pray, and to
ask things for others. However, I also
listen to you when you ask things for
yourself. I do receive that prayer. Yet
I tell you that the time when I gave to
you according to your petition,
because you were small, has passed;
now, I wish you to act like disciples,
presenting to Me your spirit and your
heart when you pray, but leaving it to
Me to read them and do My will.
(296, 69)
91. When you question or ask
something of Me, do exert yourselves
to try to explain your problem clearly,
nor bother to polish carefully
constructed phrases. It is sufficient to
Me that your spirit frees himself from
the world for an instant and leaves
your heart and understanding
cleansed, so that they may receive My
inspiration. What will it serve you to
offer Me lovely words if you are
incapable of feeling My presence
within you? I know all, and it is not
necessary for you to explain anything
to Me for Me to understand it. (286, 9
- 10)
92. If you know how to understand
My Doctrine, it offers you many
satisfactions, many opportunities to
ascend. Learn to pray before making
any decision, for prayer is the perfect
Chapter 17 - The New Way of Worshiping God
173
form for asking your Father, since in
it you will be demanding light and
strength to continue forward in the
struggle.
93. Upon praying, soon an
illumination will come to your
understanding that will permit you to
clearly distinguish good from evil, the
correct from what you should not do,
and that shall be a concrete proof that
you knew to prepare yourselves to
hear the voice of your conscience.
94. Suffer hardships with patience,
and if you do not manage to
understand the significance of your
trials, pray, and I shall reveal their
meaning, so that you may accept
them. (333, 61 - 62 and 75)
95. Every time that your lips or
thoughts say to Me: "Lord, do not
deny Me your forgiveness," you are
demonstrating your ignorance and
confusion, as well as how little you
know Me.
96. Do you tell Me to have pity for
your pain? Do you ask Me to have
mercy on My children? Do you beg
Me to forgive your sins; I who am
love, clemency, charity, forgiveness,
and pity?
97. It is fine that you try to move
those who on the earth have hardened
hearts, and that you try to move to
pity with tears and pleas those who
have not an atom of charity toward
their fellows, but do not use these
forms or thoughts with He who
created you from love in order to love
you eternally. (336, 41 - 43)
98. Be content with the great charity
that the Father has entrusted to you
for all things related to human life on
the face of the earth, and do not ask
for that which might cause the ruin of
your spirit or substance. I have more
to give you than you do to ask of Me,
but it is I who know what you really
need on the road. I said to you: that if
you know how to follow My Law,
you shall behold Me in all My
splendor. (337, 21)
The Blessing of Intercession
99. "Do not become accustomed to
praying only with words, pray with
the spirit. I also say to you: bless with
the prayer, convey thoughts of light to
your brethren; do not ask anything for
yourselves, remember that He who
serves Me, will always have Me
watching over him".
100. The seed that you sow with
love, you will receive multiplied. (21,
3 - 4)
101. Do not pray only when you find
yourselves going through some
painful ordeal. Also pray when you
are at peace, for it will be then that
your hearts and thoughts can become
occupied with others. Do not pray
only for those who have helped you,
or those who have not caused you any
harm, for even though that is virtuous,
it is not as worthy as assisting those
who have previously harmed you. (35,
8)
102. What is it that I teach you now?
To bless everyone and everything
Chapter 17 - The New Way of Worshiping God
174
with [your] entire heart and spirit,
because who blesses in this way is
similar to the Father, in making their
warmth come to all. Therefore I say to
you: Learn to bless with your spirit,
with your thoughts, and your heart,
and your peace, strength and warmth
will reach whomever you send it to,
no matter how far away they are.
103. What would happen if all men
blessed one another, even without
having met? Perfect peace would
reign on earth, war would be
inconceivable.
104. For that miracle to occur, it is
necessary that you elevate your spirit
by means of perseverance in virtue.
Do you judge this to be impossible?
(142, 31)
105. Ask, and it shall be given. All
that you wish in charity for your
brothers, ask Me for it. Pray, unite
your plea to that of the needy, and I
shall concede what you ask (137, 54)
The Necessity of Prayer
106. Be watchful and pray, I repeat
frequently, but I do not want you to
familiarize yourself with this pleasant
advice, but study it and put it into
practice.
107. I tell you to pray, for He who
does not pray, will surrender to
thoughts which are superfluous,
material and sometimes unsound with
which, unknowingly, He encourages
and fosters destructive wars; but when
you pray, your thought like a radiant
sword, destroys the veils of darkness
and the bonds of temptation which
today are imprisoning many beings,
saturating the environment with
spirituality, and counteracting the
forces of evil. (9, 25 - 26)
108. Humanity has always been too
busy with the great things of the earth
to consider the importance that prayer
and meditation have for that which is
beyond this life, in order to discover
its own essence. He who prays
converses with the Father, and if He
asks questions, receives instant
replies. The ignorance of men about
spirituality proceeds from their lack of
prayer. (106, 33)
109. You are approaching a time of
true prayer, of worship without
fanaticism, in which you will know
[how] to pray before each
undertaking, in which you will know
[how] to watch over what has been
entrusted to you, when you will know
how to give fairly to your spirit that
which pertains to him, and to the
world that which corresponds to it.
110. How can men go wrong, if
instead of doing his own will, He first
ask the Father through prayer? Who
knows how to pray lives in contact
with God, knows the value of the
benefits that He receives from the
Father, and also understands the
meaning and purpose of the trials that
He passes through. (174, 2 - 3)
The Beneficial Effects of Practicing
Prayer
111. Throughout the Eras I have said
to you: Pray. Today I say that by
Chapter 17 - The New Way of Worshiping God
175
means of the prayer you can obtain
knowledge. If all men prayed, they
would never deviate from the path of
light outlined by Me. Through the
prayer, they would heal the sick, there
would not be anymore nonbelievers
and peace would again return to the
spirits.
112. How can man be happy when
He has rejected My grace? By chance,
does He think that love, charity and
meekness are not attributes of the
human heart? (69, 7 - 8)
113. Know that the word that bears
no love has neither life nor power.
You ask Me how you can begin to
love, and what you must do so that
this sentiment awakens in your heart,
and I tell you: To start, know how to
pray. Prayer will bring you to the
Master, and I am that Master.
114. In prayer you will find
consolation, inspiration, and strength,
it will give you the sweet satisfaction
of being able to speak intimately with
God, without witnesses or mediators;
God and your spirit, meeting in that
sweet moment of confidences,
spiritual communication, and
blessings. (166, 43 - 44)
115. Whenever you need a
confidant, and a good friend, seek Me
out and deposit in Me the sorrows of
your heart, and I will show you the
best pathway, the solution you seek.
116. If your spirit is oppressed by
sorrows, it is because you have
sinned; I will receive you, and will be
benevolent in My judgment. I will
strengthen your intention to reform,
and return to you your lost strength.
117. Only the practicing of My
teachings can keep you in grace and
spiritual and physical health. The
experience you gather will be light
that you accumulate in your spirit.
(262, 20 - 21)
118. The spirit which knows how to
be watchful will never depart from the
route traced for him by his Lord, and
He is able to employ his heritage and
his gifts until He achieves his
elevation.
119. That being shall progress in his
trials, for He lives alert and never
allows himself to be dominated by the
material. He who prays and keeps
vigil shall always emerge triumphant
from the difficult times and will know
how to walk with firm steps on the
path of life.
120. Oh, how different is the
conduct of He who forgets to pray and
keep watch! Voluntarily He renounces
defending himself with the best arms I
have placed in man, which are faith,
love, and the light of wisdom. It is He
who does not hear the inner voice that
speaks to him through his intuition,
his conscience, and his dreams; but
the heart and mind do not understand
that language, and do not give
credence to the message that comes
from his own spirit. (278, 2 - 3)
121. Prayer is the means revealed to
your spirit to come to Me with your
questions, your uncertainties, and
your yearning for light. Through that
Chapter 17 - The New Way of Worshiping God
176
communication you can dissipate your
doubts or tear away the veil hiding
some Mystery.
122. Prayer is the beginning of the
spirit to Spirit communication that in
times to come will flourish and give
its fruits to all humanity.
123. Today I have revealed all this to
the people who hear Me so that they
may be the forerunners of the Era of
spirituality. (276, 18 - 19)
The Power of Prayer
124. When one of you prays, you do
not realize what you reach spiritually
with your thoughts, and it is necessary
that you know that when you pray for
your brothers, for those people
destroying themselves in war, in those
moments your spirit is prosecuting a
war as well, a mental war against evil,
and your sword, which is peace,
reason, justice, and a yearning for the
good of your brothers, clashes with
the weapons of hatred, vengeance,
and pride.
125. This is the Era in which men
realize the power of prayer, and for
prayer to have true power and light, it
is necessary that it be sent up to Me
with love. (139, 7 - 8)
126. Thought and the spirit, united in
prayer, create in mankind a force
superior to any human strength.
127. In prayer the weak are
strengthened, the coward dressed in
courage, the ignorant are illuminated,
and the clumsy made able.
128. The spirit, when it has achieved
harmony with the mind in order to
reach true prayer, becomes an
invisible soldier who leaves behind
for a few moments that which touches
his being, and passes to other places,
frees itself from the influence of the
material, and gives itself over to the
struggle to do good, to banish danger
and evil, and to bear within a glimmer
of light, a drop of balsam, and a
breath of peace to the needy.
129. For all I tell you, understand
how much you can do with the mind
and spirit, in the midst of the chaos in
which man is immersed. You are in a
world of conflicting thoughts and
ideas, where passions for materialism
are alive and the spirits navigate in
darkness.
130. Only He who has learned
through prayer to elevate himself in
thought and spirit to the regions of
light, to the dwellings of peace, may
penetrate without being defeated to
the world of contention, where all
human passions are reflected, leaving
in exchange something of value for
those who have need of the light of
the spirit. (288, 18 - 22)
131. Learn to pray, for with prayer
you may do much good, just as you
may defend against threats. Prayer is
both shield and sword, if you have
enemies you may defend yourselves
with prayer, but know that this
weapon must never wound or injure
anyone, for its only purpose is to
shine in the darkness. (280, 56)
132. The elements are unleashed
against mankind, but you must not
Chapter 17 - The New Way of Worshiping God
177
fear, for you know that I have given
you the power to overcome evil and
protect your brothers. You can order
those elements of destruction to stop,
and they shall obey. If you continue
praying and watching you can
perform prodigies and surprise the
world.
133. Pray with purity, make
communion with My Spirit, do not
seek out a particular place to do this.
Pray beneath a tree, on the road, on a
mountaintop, or in the corner of your
bedroom, and I will descend to
converse with you, to illuminate you,
and to give you strength. (250, 24 -
25)
134. Truly I tell you that if you were
already united in spirit, thought, and
intention, your prayer would be
enough to stop the nations that now
prepare the hour to throw themselves
at each other; you would destroy the
hatreds, and would be an obstacle to
all the evil projects of your brothers.
You would be like an invisible sword
to vanquish the strong and a shield to
defend the weak.
135. Humanity, confronting these
trials revealing the existence of a
higher power, will pause for an instant
to meditate; and that meditation will
spare them from many of the heavy
touches and trials that they are to
receive at the hand of nature and the
elements. (288, 27)
136. If you had great faith and
greater knowledge of the power of
prayer, how many works of charity
could you do with your thoughts? But
you have not granted to it the power
that it has, and so, many times you
have not realized what you have
turned down in a moment of true and
heartfelt prayer.
137. Do you not understand that a
higher power is preventing the most
inhumane of all your wars from
breaking out? Do you not understand
that taking part in that miracle are
millions of the prayers of men,
women, and children, who with their
spirits are combating the darkness and
struggling against the influence of the
war? Continue praying, continue
watching; but put into these actions all
the faith you are able.
138. Pray, people, and over war,
pain, and misery, lay the cloak of the
peace of your thoughts, making of
them a shield underneath whose
protection your brothers may shelter
and be enlightened. (323, 24 - 26)
The Love of God and Your
Neighbor as Veneration of God
139. Be aware, My new disciples,
that you should always honor and
offer tribute to the Lord, without
awaiting specific dates, in the same
manner that the Father always loves
you. But if you want to know how to
remember My deeds of love on a
daily basis without falling into
fanaticism, I will tell you how. During
your lifetime, you should continually
love one another as a tribute to the
one who has created everything.
140. Live in that manner, and I will
grant you those things that you
Chapter 17 - The New Way of Worshiping God
178
humbly request to forgive your faults.
I offer you comfort and ease your
pain, but I say to you, when your
conscience makes you aware of your
errors, pray, correct your errors, and
with your spiritual gifts attain spiritual
strength in order not to commit the
same faults again. Thus, you will not
have to ask Me repeatedly to forgive
you. My word is teaching you to
evolve and to attain enlightenment
and spirituality. (49, 32 - 33)
141. "I thirst," I said to the mob that
did not understand My words and
enjoyed My agony. And now, what
can I say to you, when I see it is not a
mob, but the whole world that wounds
My Spirit without seeing My pain?
142. My thirst is infinite,
incomprehensible, and only your love
can quench it; so why do you offer
Me outward worship instead of love?
Do you not know that instead of water
you are offering Me gall and vinegar?
(94, 74 - 75)
143. "Verily I say to you that those
who suffered and greatly offended
Me, shall be the ones who will love
Me more intensely and from their
heart will constantly emerge their
offering to My Divinity. It shall not be
material offerings nor psalms, or
altars of the earth; they know that the
most pleasing offering and worship
for Me are the deeds of love which
they perform toward their brethren".
(82, 5)
144. Day after day, your spiritual
prayer, whose language your material
nature does not understand because it
has no words pronounced by your
lips, nor ideas formed by your mind,
comes to Me. The prayer of the spirit
is so profound that it is beyond the
human senses and powers.
145. By that prayer the spirit comes
to the regions of peace and light
where elevated spirits live, and
saturating itself with that essence,
returns to the transitory body to pass
strength to it. (256, 63 - 64)
146. People: The time when you
must know how to pray has come to
you. Today I do not come to tell you
to prostrate yourselves on the ground,
I do not come to tell you to pray with
your lips, or that you clamor to Me
with florid words in beautiful prayers.
Today I come to tell you: Seek Me
with your thoughts, elevate your
spirit, and I will always descend to
make you feel My presence. If you do
not know how to talk to your God,
your repentance, your thoughts, your
pain, and your love will suffice.
147. That is the language that I hear
and understand; the language of truth
and sincerity without words, that is
the prayer that I have come to teach
you in this Third Era.
148. Whenever you have done good
works you have felt My peace,
tranquility and hope, and that is
because the Father is very close to
you. (358, 53 - 55)
Chapter 17 - The New Way of Worshiping God
179
149. I reject all that which is vanity
and human grandeur, for only that
which is spiritual reaches My Spirit,
that which is noble and elevated, pure
and eternal. Remember that I said to
the woman of Samaria, "God is Spirit,
and it is necessary that He be
worshiped in spirit and in truth". Seek
Me in the infinite, in the pure, and
there you will find Me. (36, 26)
150. Why do you offer Me those
things that I have made for you? Why
do you give Me flowers if you do not
make them? On the other hand, if you
present Me deeds of love, charity,
forgiveness, justice, and of help for
your brethren, then you will be
offering Me a true spiritual gift, and
will ascend like a caress to the Father,
like a kiss which children will send
their Lord from the earth. (36, 29)
151. Nor do I wish you to enclose
your worship in material houses of
worship, for you will thereby
imprison your spirit and not allow it
to open its wings to conquer eternity.
152. The altar I leave you, and on
which you shall celebrate your
worship as I expect, is life beyond any
limitations, beyond all religions,
churches, and sects, for it exists in the
spiritual, in the eternal and Divine.
(194, 27 - 28)
The Communion of Conscience
between God and Man
153. "Today I come to you with a
teaching that might seem impossible
for the world to practice; but once it is
understood it is the easiest to fulfill. I
come to teach you the worship of the
love of God through your life, your
deeds and the spiritual prayer, which
is not pronounced by the lips at a
predetermined place, nor is it in need
of forms or images to be inspired".
(72, 21)
154. While men have wanted to see
Me as a distant and remote God, I
have proposed to show them that I am
closer to them than their eyelashes.
155. They pray mechanically, and if
they do not see all they asked for
immediately, discouraged they
exclaim: "God has not heard us."
156. If they knew how to pray, if
they united their minds and hearts
with their spirits, they would hear the
Divine presence of the Lord in their
conscience and feel his presence very
close to them. But how can they
expect to feel My presence if they ask
through materialized worship. How
can they possibly sensitize their spirits
if they worship even their Lord
through images made with their own
hands?
157. I want you to understand that
you have Me very close to you, that
you can communicate with Me, feel
Me as well and receive My
inspirations easily. (162, 17 - 20)
158. "Practice the silence which
favors the spirit so that it will find its
God; that silence is like a fountain of
knowledge and all who penetrate into
it, will be filled with the clearness of
My wisdom. The silence is like a
Chapter 17 - The New Way of Worshiping God
180
closed place with indestructible walls,
to which only the spirit has access.
Man constantly carries within his
innermost, the knowledge of the
secret place in which He can
communicate with God".
159. "You can communicate with
your Father wherever you are, for the
place is of no consequence, it can be
at the top of the mountain or if you
find yourself in the depth of a valley,
in the commotion of a city, in the
peace of your home or in the midst of
a struggle; if you seek Me in the
interior of your sanctuary in the midst
of the deep silence of your elevation,
the doors of the universal and
invisible temple will be opened
instantly so that you feel yourself
truly in the house of the Father, which
exists in each spirit".
160. When the pain of your ordeals
overwhelm you and your afflictions of
life annihilate your senses, if you
experience an intense desire to obtain
a little peace, retire to your chamber
or seek the silence, the solitude of the
countryside; there elevate your spirit
guided by its conscience, and enter
into meditation. The silence is the
kingdom of the spirit, a kingdom that
is invisible to human eyes.
161. At the moment of penetrating
the spiritual ecstasy, the awakening of
the superior senses is obtained,
intuition surges, the inspiration glows,
the future is perceived and the
spiritual life touches what is distant,
and makes possible what before
seemed impossible.
162. If you wish to penetrate the
silence of this sanctuary, of this Ark,
you yourselves should be the ones to
prepare the way, for only with true
purity will you be able to penetrate it.
(22, 36 - 40)
163. It is necessary for My prophets
to rise again to admonish men,
because while there are people who
destroy themselves, blinded by
ambition and violence, those who
have received My light and calmly
judge humanity, are fearful of rising
to give the good news.
164. If this humanity would know
how to pray with the spirit, they
would hear My voice, they would
receive My inspiration, but each time
they pray they place a veil over their
eyes which hides to them the light of
My presence. I have to come to men
during the moments when their bodies
are at rest to awaken their spirit, to
call on him and converse with him. It
is Christ, who like a thief in the
middle of the night, penetrates your
heart to sow My seed of love within.
(67, 29)
165. Learn to pray and meditate at
the same time, so that knowledge and
understanding arise in each one of
you. (333, 7)
166. "Spiritualism is liberty; that is
why those who now hear me and have
understood the meaning of this
liberating Doctrine see open up before
them a great valley, where they shall
struggle and give testimony that the
Chapter 17 - The New Way of Worshiping God
181
time came when God, the Almighty
Creator, came to establish
communications between Himself and
man." (239, 8)
167. The doctrine of Christ was
spiritual, but men surrounded it with
rites and forms to put it within reach
of the spirits of scarce elevation.
168. You have entered the Era of the
Spirit, that of the great revelations, in
which materialism, imposture, and
imperfection will disappear from all
worship; in which all men, through
the spirit, shall recognize God, who is
all Spirit, and on that road find the
means of perfect communication.
(195, 77 - 78)
169. When men have learned to
communicate with My Spirit, then
there will be nothing they have to ask
or look up in books.
170. Today they still ask those who
they think know more than they do, or
they pursue texts and books, anxious
to find the truth. (118, 37)
171. If you learn to meditate a few
minutes each day, and if your
meditation is on the spiritual life, you
will discover an infinity of
explanations, and will receive
revelations that you can not get in any
other way.
172. Your spirit already has enough
light to ask questions of Me and to
receive My replies. The spirit of
humanity has already reached great
elevation. Observe your brothers of
humble condition who, in spite of the
poverty of their knowledge, surprise
you with their profound observations
and the clear manner in which they
explain that which for many others is
inexplicable. Did you think they had
frequented books or schools? No, but
they have discovered, by intuition or
by necessity, the gift of meditation
that is part of spiritual prayer. In their
loneliness, isolated from influences
and prejudices, they have discovered
how to enter into communion with the
eternal and the spiritual, with truth;
and some more, and some less, all
who have meditated on the true
essence of life, have received spiritual
light for their understanding. (340, 43
- 44)
173. You ask Me what does the
prayer consist of and I say to you:
Allow your spirit to elevate freely
toward the Father with true faith and
confidence during those moments of
prayer. Allow your heart and mind to
receive inspirations from the spirit,
and accept with true humility the will
of the Father. The one who prays in
that manner will be able to feel My
presence joyfully at any moment
during his life on earth, never again
feeling that He is indigent. (286, 11)
174. There, in the purest part of their
being, in the spirit, will be where I
write My Law in this era; it will be
there that I make My voice heard and
where I will build My temple, for that
which does not exist in the spirit,
might as well not exist.
175. And so, though you raise
enormous temples in My honor,
though you offer feasts and
Chapter 17 - The New Way of Worshiping God
182
ceremonies full of splendor, your
offerings will not reach Me, for they
are not of the spirit. All external
worship bears in it vanity and
ostentation; in contrast, the quiet
offering, that which the world never
sees and that you offer Me spirit to
Spirit, that reaches Me because of its
humility, its sincerity, its truth. In a
word: Because it proceeds from the
spirit.
176. Read again My parable of the
Pharisee and the publican from the
second time, and then you will
understand My teaching, which has
been the same in all times. (280, 68)
177. Do you know that some are
loved without deserving it? That is
how I love you. Give Me your cross,
give Me your sadness, give Me your
dashed hopes, give Me the heavy
burden you bear, I can bear all the
pain. Feel yourselves free of your
burden so that you may be happy,
enter into the sanctuary of My love,
and be silent before the altar of the
Universe, so that your spirit may
converse with the Father in the most
beautiful of languages: that of love.
(228, 73)
My peace be with you !
183
Chapter 18 - Works of Charity and the Central Significance of Love
The Retroactive Grace of Good
Works
1. Observe all the cases of human
misery, pain, and need; and
confronted by the sight of pain, which
everywhere surrounds you, let your
heart become more sensitive.
2. When you feel a generous and
noble impulse to do good in the
deepest part of your being, let that
impulse overflow and manifest itself.
It is the spirit that sends its message
because it has found its body ready
and disposed. (334, 3 - 4)
3. Let charity be first among your
aspirations and you will never repent
for having been charitable, for
through that virtue you shall have the
greatest satisfactions and happiness of
your existence, and obtain at the same
time all the wisdom, strength, and
elevation yearned for by a noble
spirit.
4. Through charity for your brothers
you will purify your spirit, repaying
thereby old debts, ennobling your
human life, and elevating your
spiritual life.
5. When you come to the door to
which all come to call, your happiness
will be very great, for you will hear
the voice of welcome from the
spiritual world that will bless you and
call you to the Work of regeneration
and spirituality. (308, 55 - 56)
6. Moreover, I say to you: Blessed
are those of My laborers who know
how to feel in their hearts the sorrow
of those deprived of liberty or health,
and who visit and comfort them; for
one day they will meet again, whether
in this or another life; and you do not
know if they then might have better
health, and more freedom, and light
than those who brought the message
of love to them in a prison or a
hospital. It is then that they will
respond with gratitude, giving a hand
to those who in another time gave it to
them.
7. That moment when you made My
word enter his heart, the moment
when you passed your hand over his
forehead and made him think of Me
and feel Me, will never be erased
from his spirit, just as your face and
your brotherly voice will never be
erased so that they will recognize you
wherever you meet. (149, 54 - 55)
8. "In the same way that the breeze
and the sunlight caress you, O My
people, caress your fellowmen. This is
the time in which the poor and the
needy are abundant. Keep in mind
that He who asks for a favor, is giving
you the grace to be useful to others
and to work toward your salvation. He
gives you the opportunity to be
merciful and with it you can imitate
your Father; because man is born to
scatter the seed of righteousness
throughout the world. Understand
then that He who asks, does you a
favor". (27, 62)
Chapter 18 - Works of Charity and the Central Significance of Love
184
True and False Charity
9. O My disciples, your greatest
mission will be that of charity! Many
times you will perform it secretly,
without any display not letting your
left hand know what your right hand
has given, but there will be occasions
when your charity will have to be
witnessed by your brethren in order
for them to learn to share it.
10. Forget about payment, I am the
Father who rewards with justification
the deeds of His children without
neglecting a single one.
11. I have told you that if you offer a
glass of water with true charity, that
gesture will not remain unrewarded.
12. Blessed are those who on
approaching say to Me: "Master, I
expect no reward for My deeds, it is
enough that I exist knowing that I am
your son so that My spirit will be
filled with happiness." (4, 78 - 81)
13. Do not foster any egotistical
interests thinking only in your
salvation and in your reward, because
your disappointment will be very
painful when you present yourselves
in spirit, because you shall find that in
reality you were unable to work for
any reward.
14. So that you may better
understand what I want to say to you,
I give you the following example:
There are and always have been men
and women who have managed to
perform charitable deeds among their
brethren, and nevertheless, when they
appear before Me, they have not
presented to Me merits toward their
spiritual happiness. And how did this
come about? Can you conceive that
they could have been victims of an
injustice on their Fathers behalf? The
answer is simple, disciples: They were
not able to gather any benefit for
themselves because their deeds were
not sincere, because when they
extended their hand to give
something, they never did it moved
with a true feeling of charity toward
the one who suffers, rather thinking of
themselves, in their salvation, in their
reward. Some were moved by
selfinterest, others by vanity, and that
is not true charity, because it was not
heartfelt or unselfish, and I say to you
that He who does not convey sincerity
and love, is not sowing the truth nor is
He working toward any reward.
15. The apparent charity could
provide you some satisfactions on
earth that will arise from the
admiration that you arouse and the
adulation that you receive, but the
apparent does not reach My kingdom,
only what is true reaches there.
Everyone will reach that place
without being able to conceal the least
blemish or impurity, because before
appearing before God, you shall
deprive yourselves of mantles,
crowns, insignias, titles and all which
pertains to the world, to present
yourselves before the Supreme Judge
as humble spirits who are to respond
before the Creator about the mission
entrusted to them. (75, 22 - 24)
16. He who from love seeks to serve
his neighbor consecrates himself to
Chapter 18 - Works of Charity and the Central Significance of Love
185
the good on one of the many paths life
offers. He knows that He is a being
who must allow himself to be used by
the Divine will for very high
purposes. I wish you to come to
know, oh disciples, so that it may be
you who free those who have lost the
path of evolution from their errors.
17. True love, that which is beyond
the heart, is the fruit of wisdom. See
how I, in My word, sow wisdom in
your understanding and then wait for
the fruit of your love.
18. There are many ways to do good,
many ways to console and serve; all
of them are expressions of the love,
which is one alone, the love that is the
wisdom of the spirit.
19. Some can go on the road of
science, and others on that of the
spirit, others on that of feelings, and
the meeting place for them all will be
spiritual harmony. (282, 23 - 26)
Spiritual and Material Acts of Love
20. If you are poor materially and for
that reason you are unable to help
your fellowmen, do not be afraid.
Pray, and I will bring peace and
enlightenment to those in need.
21. True charity, which gives birth to
compassion, is the best gift that you
can offer to the needy. If there is no
love in your heart when you offer
your brethren money, bread, or a glass
of water, truly I tell you that you have
not given anything. It would be better
for you to keep what you have given.
22. Humanity, when do you want to
become aware of the power of love?
You have not yet utilized that power
which is the origin of life. (306, 32 -
33)
23. Do not see enemies, but brothers
in all who surround you. Do not ask
for punishment, so that you may give
an example of forgiveness and so
there is no resentment in your spirit.
Seal your lips, and let Me judge your
cause.
24. Heal the sick. Help those who
are unable to reason, and remove the
spiritual beings that cause mental
confusion; help one and the other to
become spiritually enlightened. (33,
58 - 59)
25. Disciples: The maxim that I
taught you in the Second Era, to love
one another, is applicable to all the
actions of your life.
26. There are those who say to Me:
"Master, how can I love My neighbor
if I am an insignificant person whose
life is dedicated to material work?
27. To these little ones of mine, I
say, that even in that material work,
apparently without importance, you
can love your fellow men, if you do
that work with a will to serve your
brothers.
28. Imagine how beautiful your life
would be if each man would work
thinking in doing good, and would
join his small effort to those of others.
Truly, I can tell you that misery would
be unknown, but the truth is that each
one works for himself, thinking only
of himself, and maybe in those closest
to him.
Chapter 18 - Works of Charity and the Central Significance of Love
186
29. All of you need to understand
that no one is sufficient unto
themselves, and that He or she needs
others; you all must learn that you are
intimately bound to a universal
mission that you must complete in
unity; not, however, a unity from
material obligations, but of intention,
of inspiration and of ideal, in a word:
by love for one another. The fruit of
this will then be of benefit to all. (334,
35 - 37)
30. I tell you, disciples, in My Law
of love, if you cannot do perfect
works like those I did in Jesus, at least
push yourselves to come close to
them. It is enough for Me to behold a
bit of real will to imitate Me and a
little bit of love for your fellow men,
for Me to help you and manifest My
grace and power along your way.
31. You will never be alone in the
struggle. If I do not abandon you
when you are doubled over by the
weight of your sins, do you think I
would abandon you when you are
walking with the weight of the cross
of this mission of love? (103, 28 - 29)
The Integral Significance of Love
32. Love has been the essence of My
Doctrine throughout the Eras.
33. Love is the essence of God; from
that strength all beings take life; from
it all life and creation arose. Love is
the beginning and the final destiny of
all made by the Father.
34. Before that strength that moves,
illuminates, and gives life to all
things, death disappears, sin vanishes,
negative passions fade, impurities are
cleansed, and all that is imperfect is
made perfect. (295, 32)
35. I have revealed My existence,
and the reason for your own, I have
revealed that the fire that gives life
and animates all, is love; and this is
the principle from which all natures
have sprung.
36. And therefore, you were born of
love, exist for love, are forgiven out
of love, and shall be in eternity,
through love. (135, 19 - 20)
37. Love is the beginning of, and the
reason for your existence, O,
humanity, how could you live without
that gift? Believe Me, there are many
who carry death within them, and
others that are sick merely from not
loving anyone. The balm that has
saved many has been the love and
Divine gift that restores true life, that
redeems and elevates, is also love.
(166, 41)
38. Love; for He who does not love
bears deep sadness within himself,
that of not possessing or feeling what
is most beautiful and elevated in life.
39. That was what Jesus came to
teach you with his life and death, and
it is that which He bequeathed to you
in his Divine Word, condensed in the
phrase: "Love one another with that
love that I have shown you."
40. The day will come when those
who have not loved, throwing off
their bitterness and their prejudices,
shall come and rest in Me, where they
Chapter 18 - Works of Charity and the Central Significance of Love
187
shall return to life hearing My sweet
Word of infinite tenderness.
41. Truly I tell you, in love is My
strength, My wisdom, and My truth. It
is like an infinite ladder that is seen in
different forms, from those inferior to
humans, to those most elevated of the
spirits, who have achieved perfection.
42. Love, though it be in your own
way, but love always. Do not hate, for
hate leaves a trail of death, while
through love forgiveness is obtained
and all malice erased. (224, 34 - 36)
43. I tell you that who does not love,
who does not manifest his love in the
most elevated form and with absolute
purity, lacks true knowledge and very
little shall He possess. In contrast, He
who loves with all his spirit and all
the powers that have been given him,
shall bear within himself the light of
wisdom and He shall feel himself
truly to be the owner of all around
him, for what is of the Father, is the
property of his children as well. (168,
11)
44. Love will give you the
knowledge to understand the truth
which others seek in vain along the
rocky roads of science.
45. Allow the Master to guide you in
all your actions, words and thoughts.
Be prepared under his pleasing and
loving example and you will manifest
the Divine love, thus you will feel
nearer to God, for you will be in
harmony with Him.
46. If you love, you will come to be
humble as Jesus was. (21, 10 - 12)
47. "He who loves understands, He
who studies has willpower, He who
has willpower, can accomplish very
much. I say to you that neither
elevation nor knowledge will He have
nor will He do great deeds who does
not love with all the power of his
spirit". (24, 41)
48. Do not allow your heart to
become vain, because your heart
symbolizes the flame of eternity from
where everything emerges and comes
to life.
49. The spirit utilizes the heart to
manifest its love through the human
body. However, if your love is only
physical, law, within your love will
only be temporary because your body
is temporary. But when your love is
spiritual, it will be similar to that of
the Divine Father, who is eternal,
perfect, and unchangeable.
50. All life and all creation are
related to the spirit, because it
possesses eternal life. Do not limit
yourself, love Me and love one
another, because you are children of a
Being who possesses infinite love,
that Being is God Himself. (180, 24 -
26)
51. Elevate yourselves on the path
that leads to the mountaintop, and
with every step you take you will
understand My teachings better, and
will perfect yourselves more to
understand the Divine language.
52. What is the language of the
spirit? It is love. Love is the universal
Chapter 18 - Works of Charity and the Central Significance of Love
188
language. Do you not see that human
love also speaks? Many times it does
not need words, but speaks better with
deeds and with thoughts. If human
love manifests itself this way, how
shall your language be when you are
perfected in My Law? (316, 59-60)
53. If you consider that I am
wisdom, that wisdom comes from
love; if you recognize Me as Judge,
that justice is based in love, if you
believe I am powerful, My power is
built on love, if you know that I am
eternal, My eternity comes from love;
for it is life, and life makes spirits
immortal.
54. Love is light, life, and
knowledge. And I have given you that
seed from the beginning of time; it is
the only one that I, the perfect sower,
have planted in the land of your
hearts. (222, 23)
The Overall Power of Love
55. "O! Men and women of the
world who have forgotten in your
sciences the only thing that will make
you wise and happy; you have
forgotten about the love which
inspires all, the love which does
everything and changes everything!
You live in pain and in darkness, for
by not practicing the love which I
teach you, you bring about your
physical or spiritual suffering".
56. "In order to discover and
understand My messages, first you
need to be kind and humble of heart,
virtues which exist within every spirit
since the moment of their creation,
but to feel the true elevated feeling of
love, you need to spiritualize
yourselves cultivating your good
sentiments; but you have wanted to
have everything in life, except
spiritual love". (16, 31 - 32)
57. During all times you have had
guides who have taught you the power
of love. They have been your most
advanced brethren, with a greater
understanding of My Law and a
greater purity in their deeds. They
have come to give you an example of
strength, love and humility, by
exchanging their life of errors and sins
for an existence dedicated to
righteousness, sacrifice and charity.
58. "From infancy to old age, you
have clear examples of all that can be
accomplished by love and the pains
which can originate by the lack of
charity; but you, more insensible than
the rocks, have not been able to learn
the teachings and examples that your
daily living offers".
59. Have you sometimes observed
how even the wild animals gently
respond to a call of love? Well, in the
same manner, the elements can
respond, the forces of Nature and all
that exists within the material and
spiritual world.
60. That is why I say to you that you
should bless everything with love in
the name of the Father and Creator of
the Universe.
61. To bless means to saturate. To
bless is to feel righteousness, to say it
and to deliver it. To bless is to
Chapter 18 - Works of Charity and the Central Significance of Love
189
impregnate all that surrounds you
with thoughts of love. (14, 56 - 60)
62. Truly I tell you that love is the
unchangeable force that moves the
universe. Love is the beginning and
the essence of life.
63. I am initiating a time of spiritual
resurrection for all, a time in which I
will cause the flowering of that
blessed seed of love that I poured out
over the world from the top of a cross,
announcing to you that when men
love one another as I taught them to,
death will have been dislodged from
the world and in its place life will
reign over humanity and be manifest
in all their works. (282, 13 - 14)
My peace be with you !

V. Forms of Divine Revelations and the Works of God
Chapter 19 - The Divine Trinity
The Unity of God with Christ and
the Holy Spirit
1. The light of My word will unite
all men during this Third Era. My
truth will enlighten every mind, thus
eliminating differences in creeds and
worship. (1, 66)
2. "Today, while many love Me in
Jehovah and disregard Christ, others
love Me in Christ, ignoring Jehovah;
while some recognize My existence as
the Holy Spirit, others debate and
divide themselves because of My
Trinity." (1, 67)
3. Now then, I ask this humanity and
those who guide it spiritually: Why do
you drift away from one another,
when everyone recognizes the true
God? If you love Me in Jehovah, you
are within the truth. If you love Me
through Christ, He is the Way, the
Truth and the Life. If you love Me as
the Holy Spirit, you approach the
Light. (1, 68)
4. You have only one God, only one
Father. There are not three Divine
persons who exist in God, but only
one Divine Spirit, who has manifested
Himself in three different phases to
mankind, and mankind; in its
smallness, while penetrating the
profound, believed to have seen three
persons when only one Spirit exists.
Therefore, when you hear the name of
Jehovah, think of God as the Father
and as Judge. When you think of
Christ, see in Him God as the Master,
as Love and when you try to
comprehend where the Holy Spirit
originates, know that it is none other
than God manifesting His infinite
wisdom to those most advanced
disciples. (1, 68)
5. If I had found humanity of ancient
times spiritually evolved, like the
present one, I would have manifested
Myself before it as the Father, as the
Master and as the Holy Spirit, then
men would not have seen three Gods
when only one exists. However, they
were not capable of interpreting My
lessons, thus they would have
confused themselves and taken
another path and kept on creating
accessible and insignificant gods,
according to their imagination. (1, 69)
6. When men understand and accept
this truth, they will regret having lived
rejecting one another because of an
error which could have been avoided
with a little love. (1, 70)
7. If Christ is love, do you believe
that He would be independent of
Jehovah, if I am love? (1, 73)
8. If the Holy Spirit is wisdom, do
you believe that Spirit to be
independent of Christ when I am
Chapter 19 - The Divine Trinity
192
wisdom? Do you believe that the
Word and the Holy Spirit are different
from one another? (1, 74)
9. It suffices to know something
about the word which Jesus taught to
mankind in order for you to
understand that only one God existed
and will be only One forever. That is
why I said through Him: "He who
knows the Son knows the Father, for
He is in Me and I in Him." Then
announcing that in another time He
would return among men, He not only
said: "I will return," but He also
promised to send the Holy Spirit, the
Spirit of Consolation, the Spirit of
Truth. (1, 75)
10. Why should Christ come
separately from the Holy Spirit? By
chance, would He not have within His
Spirit the truth, the light and
consolation? (1, 76)
11. I am your Master, but do not see
Me as separate from the Father, for I
am the Father.
12. There is no difference between
the Son and the Holy Spirit, for the
Holy Spirit and the Son are one single
Spirit, and I am that Spirit.
13. See in My manifestations
throughout time one single God,
which is He who has instructed you
through many different lessons, [like]
a single book with many pages.
(256, 4)
The Three Forms of the Revelation
of God
14. Now you know the reason why
the Father manifested himself in three
different periods, and you also know
the erroneous belief that men have
related to the Trinity. (39, 42)
15. Do not attempt to think of Me in
a material form because My Spirit
lacks form, just as intelligence, love,
and wisdom also lack form. (39, 44)
16. I tell you this because many
individuals have represented Me in
the form of an old man when they
think of the Father. I am not an old
man because time does not affect me.
My Spirit does not age. (39, 45)
17. When you think of Christ,
immediately you remember the
physical image of Jesus. And I say to
you, that Christ was God's Divine
Word and Love who incarnated on
earth. When Christ left his material
body on earth, He became united with
My Spirit from where He had
emerged. (39, 46)
18. When you speak of the Holy
Spirit, you utilize the symbol of the
dove to try to imagine it with some
form. I say to you, however, that the
time of symbols has passed.
Therefore, when you feel yourselves
being touched by the Holy Spirit,
receive that inspiration as
enlightenment for your spirit which
comes to remove all uncertainties,
Mysteries, and darkness. (39, 47)
Chapter 19 - The Divine Trinity
193
19. From Era to era, mankind has
gradually come to have a clearer idea
of Me. Those who have come to know
Me through Christ have a view of Me
that is closer to the truth than those
who know Me only through the Laws
of Moses. That God who the
multitudes followed and obeyed for
fear of his justice, was later sought as
Father and Master, when the seed of
the love of Christ germinated in their
hearts. (112, 3)
20. "I am beyond time, above
everything created; My Divine Spirit
is not subject to evolution. I am
Eternal and Perfect; it is not so with
you who do have a beginning, who
are certainly subject to laws of
evolution, and besides that, you feel
the passing of time upon your being".
(66, 43)
21. "Do not say that the Father
belongs to an era, Christ to another
and the Holy Spirit to another,
because the Lord is eternal and does
not belong to any era, but time
belongs to Him, and Christ who
disappeared as a Man, is God
Himself, as well as the Holy Spirit
who is none other than the same
Father, who comes preparing His
most elevated expression before you;
in other words, now without the need
of any material element." (66, 43)
22. I have explained that the Being
whom you refer to as the Father refers
to the absolute power of God, the
Universal Creator, the only Being
who has always existed. The Being
whom you refer to as the Son, is
Christ, who manifests the Fathers
perfect love for his children; and the
Being whom you refer to as the Holy
Spirit represents the wisdom as
spiritual enlightenment of God that
man is receiving during this Third
Era, when the spirit of man has the
ability to comprehend My revelations
much better. (293, 20)
23. That light from the Holy Spirit,
which is God's wisdom, will reign
soon over this Third Era. It will
illuminate the understanding of man
who is in great need of spirituality and
who hungers for love and thirsts for
the truth. (293, 21)
24. So much is it so, people, that
[only] one God has manifested to
men, albeit in three different aspects,
that if you seek love in the Works of
the Father of the First Era, you will
find it, and if you look for the light of
wisdom, that too you will find; just as
in the words and deeds of Christ you
will find not only love, but also power
and wisdom. Why would it be
strange if in the works of the Holy
Spirit in this time you discover
strength, the law, and power, as well
as love, tenderness, and the healing
balsam? (293, 20 – 21 and 25 – 26)
25. Law, love, and wisdom; these are
the three aspects that I have shown to
men so that they may have full
confidence in the road of their
evolution and a complete knowledge
Chapter 19 - The Divine Trinity
194
of their Creator. These three aspects
are distinct from each other, but all
proceed from a single principle and in
their conjunction are absolute
perfection. (165, 56)
26. In Me are the Judge, the Father,
and the Master, three distinct aspects
of a single Being, three powers and
one single essence: love. (109, 40)
27. I am Jehovah, the one who has
freed you from death at all times. I am
the one God who has spoken to you
throughout time. Christ was My Word
who spoke through Jesus. He said to
you, whoever knows the Son, knows
the Father. And I cm also the Holy
Spirit who speaks to you today, for
only one Holy Spirit exists, only one
Word, and that is mine. (32, 22)
28. Listen, My disciples, in the First
Era I gave you the law, in the Second
I showed you the love with which you
should interpret those
commandments, and now in this Third
Era, I send you the light in order for
you to comprehend all that I have
revealed to you. (32, 23)
29. Therefore, why do you strive to
find three gods where only one Divine
Spirit exists, which is mine? (32, 24)
30. I gave the law to the first men.
Nevertheless, I announced to Moses
that I would send the Messiah. Christ,
through whom I gave you My word,
told you when his mission was
coming to an end, “I am returning to
the Father from whom I came”. He
also said to you, “The Father and I are
one”. Following that, He promised to
send you the Spirit of Truth, which
would come to clarify the Mystery of
My revelations according to My will
and your evolution. (32, 25)
31. But who can shed light on My
secrets and explain those Mysteries?
Who can unravel the book of My
wisdom, if not I? (32, 26)
32. Truly I say to you that the Holy
Spirit, which you now find distinct
from Jehovah and Christ, is no more
than the wisdom which I manifest to
your spirits in order to have you
understand, contemplate, and feel the
truth. (32, 27)
33. Unite in your mind and spirit My
manifestations as God, revealing to
you the Law, My manifestations as
Father, showing My infinite love and
My lessons as Master, revealing My
wisdom and you will obtain from all
of it one single essence, a Divine
intention: that you come to Me
through the path of spiritual light,
something more than a
communication with you. I want to
lead you to My own Kingdom, where
you will have Me present always, and
always within you. (324, 58)
34. It will not be the first time that
men struggle to define a Divine
revelation, or to achieve clarity in
something that presents to their eyes
as a Mystery. Already, in the Second
Chapter 19 - The Divine Trinity
195
Era, after My preaching in the world,
men deliberated about the person of
Jesus, wishing to know if He was, or
not, Divine, and if He was One with
the Father, or a different person; they
scrutinized and judged My Doctrine
in every way.
35. Again today, I shall be the object
of analysis, discussions, struggles, and
scrutiny.
36. They shall judge if when the
Spirit of Christ presented Himself, He
was independent of the Spirit of the
Father, and there will be others who
say that it was the Holy Spirit that has
spoken, and not the Father or the Son.
37. But what you call the Holy
Spirit, is the light of God, and what
you call the Son, is his Word; and
therefore, when you hear this word,
when you take from My Doctrine of
the Second Era, or think of the Law
and the revelations of the First Era,
know that you are before a single
God, hearing his Word, and receiving
the light of his Spirit. (216, 39 - 42)
God as Creating Spirit and Father
38. I am the essence of all creation.
All things live through My infinite
power. I am in every body and every
form, I am in each of you, but it is
necessary for you to prepare and make
yourselves sensitive so that you may
sense and find Me.
39. I am the breath of every being,
for I am life. That is why I have given
you to understand that if you have me
present in all your works there is no
need to forge My image in clay or
marble to adore or feel Me close to
you. That incomprehension has
brought humanity to idolatry.
40. Through My word you have a
presentiment of the harmony that
exists between the Father and all that
has been created, and you understand
that I am the essence that sustains all
beings, and that you yourselves are a
part of Me. (185, 26 - 28)
41. The Spirit of the Father is
invisible, but manifests itself in an
infinity of forms. The entire universe
is only a material manifestation of the
Divinity. All created is a reflection of
the truth.
42. I have surrounded the existence
of the spirits, who are children of My
Divinity, according to the dwelling
they inhabit, with a series of forms in
which I have placed wisdom, beauty,
essence, and good sense, so that each
of these dwellings has the most
palpable proofs of My existence, and
an idea of My power. I show you, that
the essence of life consists of love, of
wisdom, and in possessing the truth.
(168, 9 - 10)
43. Disciples: from Me have sprung
the three natures: the Divine, the
spiritual, and the material. As Creator
and owner of all created, I can speak
to you in Divine yet comprehensible
way. If material nature was born of
Me, I may also materialize My voice
and My word to make Myself
understandable by men.
44. I am the perfect science, the
beginning of all things, the cause of
all causes and the light that
Chapter 19 - The Divine Trinity
196
illuminates all. I am above all
creation, above all wisdom. (161, 35 -
36)
45. This is the Era of understanding,
of illumination of the spirit and the
mind, in which man will finally seek
Me spiritually, for He will recognize
that God is neither a person nor an
image, but Universal Spirit, unlimited
and absolute. (295, 29)
Christ: The Love and Word of God
46. Before the Father manifested
Himself to mankind in Jesus, He
conveyed His revelations, by using
symbols and material events. By the
name of Christ you knew the One
who manifested the love of God
among men, but when He came to
earth, He had already manifested
Himself as the Father, therefore, you
should not say that Christ was born in
the world, it was Jesus who was born,
and Christ who dwelled in His body.
(16, 6)
47. Meditate and you will conclude
by understanding Me, accepting that
before Jesus, He was already Christ,
because Christ is the love of God. (16,
7)
48. I am here with you, giving you
the strength to fight for the eternal
peace of your spirit; yet truly I tell
you that before mankind knew Me, I
already gave [them] light from the
infinite and spoke already to your
heart, for as you are one with the
Father, I have always been within it. It
was necessary for time to pass for
humanity so that the world could
receive Me as Jesus and hear the word
of God, although I must tell you that
not all who heard My Doctrine in that
Era had the spiritual evolution
necessary to feel the presence of God
in Christ. (300, 3)
49. In Jehovah you believed to have
seen a cruel, terrible and vengeful
God. Then the Lord, to free you from
error sent Christ, His Divine Love, so
that by knowing the Son, you would
also know the Father." And
nevertheless, humanity ignorant and
involved in its sin again, believes to
see an angry and offended Jesus who
only awaits the spiritual return of
those who have offended Him to say
to them: "Depart from Me for I know
you not," and then send them to
endure the most inhumane suffering
in eternity. (16, 46)
50. "It is time that you understand
the meaning of My teachings so that
you will not be confused; the Divine
Love will not hinder your return to
Me if you do not restitute for your
faults, it will be the inexorable judge
of your conscience who will say that
you are not worthy of penetrating the
Kingdom of Light." (16, 47)
51. I want you to be like your Master
so that I can rightfully call you My
disciples. My heritage is of love and
wisdom. It was Christ who came to
you and it is Christ who speaks to you
at this moment, but do not try to
Chapter 19 - The Divine Trinity
197
separate Me from God, nor to see Me
outside of Him, for I am and always
have been One with the Father. (19,
57)
52. I have said to you that Christ is
the Divine Love, therefore do not try
to separate Me from the Father. Do
you believe Him to be a Father
without love for His children? How
do you perceive Him? It is time that
you recognize Him. (19, 57)
53. May no one be ashamed to call
God the Father, the Creator, because
that is His true name. (19, 58)
54. In Jesus, the world saw their God
humanized; from Him men received
only lessons of love, teachings of
infinite wisdom, proof of perfect
justice, but never a word of violence,
or an act or demonstration of revenge.
In contrast, look at how He was
offended and mocked. He had all the
authority and power in his hands,
more than existed in all the world, but
it was necessary for the world to
know his Father in his real essence,
justice and charity.
55. In Jesus the world saw a Father
who gives all for his children, asking
nothing for Himself. A Father who
forgives even the worst offenses with
infinite love and who never seeks
revenge; and a Father who, rather than
stripping life from those who offend,
forgives them, tracing with his blood
the road to spiritual redemption. (160,
46 - 47)
56. "In the material Jesus was your
ideal and a realization of perfection,
so that in Him you would have an
example worthy of imitating; I wanted
to teach you what man has to be in
order to be like his God." (21, 33)
57. God is One and Christ One with
Him, although He is the Word of the
Divinity, the only path by which you
will reach the Father of everything
created. (21, 34)
58. Disciples, Christ is the supreme
manifestation of Divine Love, that
light that is the life of the regions of
the spirit; the light that tears away the
darkness and uncovers the truth to
every spiritual gaze, the light that
destroys Mysteries, that opens the
door and shows the road to wisdom,
eternity, and the perfection of the
spirits. (91, 32)
The Holy Spirit: The Truth and
Wisdom of God
59. In wisdom are the balm and the
comfort for which your heart yearns,
and that is why in that time I promised
the Spirit of Truth as the Spirit of
Comfort.
60. However, it is indispensable to
have faith to not halt on the road, nor
feel fear before the trials. (263, 10 -
11)
61. This is the Era of light in which
the Divine wisdom that is the light of
the Holy Spirit shall illuminate even
the most intimate corners of the heart
and spirit. (277, 38)
198
199
Chapter 20 - Mary, the Maternal Love of God
The Humble earthly Existence of
Mary
1. Mary is the flower of My
heavenly garden, whose essence has
always been in My Spirit. (8, 42)
2. Do you observe those flowers
which humbly conceal their beauty?
That is how Mary was and how she is:
an inexhaustible source of beauty to
the one who is able to see her with
lucidity and respect, and a treasure of
kindness and tenderness for all beings.
(8, 43)
3. "Mary passed through the world
concealing her Divine essence; she
knew who she was and who her Son
was, and instead of making a display
of that grace, she declared herself
only a servant of the Most High, an
instrument of the designs of the
Father." (8, 46)
4. Mary knew that she was to
conceive a King more powerful and
greater than all the kings of earth; but
did she crowne herself as a queen
among humanity? Did her lips boast
in the plazas, in the streets, in the
humble homes or palaces that She was
to be the Mother of the Messiah? And
that the Only Son of the Father would
spring from her womb?
5. No, truly, people, In Her was the
greatest humility, meekness and
grace, and the promise was fulfilled,
her motherly heart was fortunate, and
from before giving birth, and in the
moment, and afterward, throughout
the life of her Son, she was a most
loving mother, who knew spiritually
the destiny of Jesus, the mission that
He was to fulfill among men, and why
He had come. She never opposed that
destiny, for She was part of the same
work.
6. Yes, sometimes She shed tears;
they were mother's tears, for She was
flesh who felt the pain of her own
flesh in her Son.
7. Was She a disciple of the Master,
her Son? No, Mary had nothing to
learn from Jesus. She was of the same
Father and had come to incarnate only
to complete that beautiful and delicate
mission.
8. Was that worthy heart satisfied to
love only her most beloved Son? No,
truly, through that small human heart
the maternal heart was manifested in
consolation and sublime words, in
counseling and charity, in prodigies
and light, and in truth.
9. There was never any
ostentatiousness in Her, she never
crossed words with the Master, but
just as she was at the foot of the
manger, so too was she at the foot of
the cross where her Son, the Master,
taking his last breath as a man,
expired.
10. Thus was her destiny as a human
mother fulfilled, giving a sublime
example to all mothers, and to all
mankind. (360, 28 - 31)
Chapter 20 - Mary, the Maternal Love of God
200
Mary and Jesus
11. Many times men have asked
themselves why Jesus, even after
having been crucified, allowed
himself to be seen by Magdalene, the
sinner, and later visited his disciples.
On the other hand, it is not known if
He visited his mother. To which I say
to you that it was not necessary that I
manifested Myself before Mary in the
same manner that I did with them, for
the communication between Christ
and Mary was constant since before
the world. (30, 17)
12. Through Jesus I manifested
Myself to humanity in order to save
sinners, and I allowed Myself to be
seen by them after the crucifixion to
revive the faith of those who needed
Me. But verily I say unto you, Mary,
My sweet mother while I was a man,
did not have a blemish to cleanse, nor
could she lack in faith, for she knew
who Christ was even before offering
him her maternal womb. (30, 18)
13. It was not necessary that I should
materialize My Spirit to visit Mary
who returned Me to the Kingdom with
that same purity and humility with
which she received Me in her womb.
But who could know the form in
which I spoke to her in her solitude
and the Divine caress with which My
Spirit embraced her? (30, 19)
14. Thus, I answer those who have
presented Me with this question and
who often thought that the first visit
of Jesus should have been made to his
mother. (30, 20)
15. How different the form in which
I manifested Myself to Mary from that
which I used to make Myself felt by
Magdalene and My disciples. (30, 21)
The Virginity of Mary
16. On the mountaintop where the
Master is found, there too is Mary, the
Universal Mother, She who was made
woman in the Second Era so that she
could perform the prodigy of the
incarnation of the Divine Word.
17. Man has scrutinized and judged
Mary, and the way that Jesus came to
the world, and those judgments have
torn at the garments of purity of the
Maternal Spirit, whose heart spilled
out its blood over the world.
18. I have come in this time to throw
back the veil of the unknown, to
remove the doubt of the unbeliever,
and to give him knowledge of the
spiritual teachings.
19. From My truth, which is like a
road, men have made many side
roads, on which, most of the time,
they get lost. And while some seek the
intercession of the Celestial Mother,
and others do ignore Her, her mantle
of love and tenderness envelops all
eternally.
20. From the beginning of time I
revealed the existence of the Spiritual
Mother, of whom the prophets spoke
before She came to the world. (228, 1
- 5)
Chapter 20 - Mary, the Maternal Love of God
201
21. Mary was sent to manifest her
virtue, her example, and her perfect
divinity. She was not one more
woman among humanity. She was a
distinctive woman, and the world saw
her life, knew her way of thinking and
feeling, and knew the purity and grace
of her body and spirit.
22. She is an example of simplicity,
humility, abnegation, and love, and in
spite of the fact that her life has been
known by the world of that time and
of succeeding generations, there are
many who do not know of her virtue
and her virginity. They cannot explain
the fact that she was virgin and
mother because man is unbelieving by
nature, and has not been able to judge
the Divine works with a prepared
spirit. If they studied the scriptures
and analyzed the incarnation of Mary
and the lives of her antecessors, they
would come to know who She is.
(221, 3)
23. The most tender love of God for
his creatures has no form,
nevertheless, in the Second Era, it
took the form of a woman, in Mary,
the mother of Jesus.
24. Understand that Mary has always
existed, since her essence, her love,
and her tenderness have always been
in the Divinity.
25. How many theories and
confusions have men forged about
Mary, about her maternity, her
conception, and her purity. How they
have blasphemed!
26. The day that they understand the
truth of that purity, they will say:
"Better would it be never to have been
born." Tears of fire will burn their
spirits, and then Mary will envelop
them in her grace, the Divine Mother
will protect them under her mantle,
and the Father will forgive them,
saying to them with infinite love:
Keep vigil and pray, because I forgive
you, and in you I forgive and bless the
world. (171, 69 - 72)
The Example of Mary for Women
27. The life of your Master is an
example for all humanity, and yet, as
women needed teaching about their
mission as mothers, Mary was sent to
humanity in representation of the
Divine Tenderness to give them her
Divine example of humility as well.
(101, 58)
28. Blessed women, you too form
part of My apostolate. Between the
spirits of men and your own, there is
no difference, although you are
physically different and have different
missions.
29. Take Jesus as Master of your
spirit, and follow him in the path
traced by his love; make his word
yours, and embrace his cross.
30. I am speaking to you with the
same Word with which I speak to
men, for spiritually you are the same,
but when your woman's heart seeks a
model to imitate, when you need
perfect examples to support you in
perfecting yourself in life, remember
Mary. Observe her throughout her
life's journey on earth.
Chapter 20 - Mary, the Maternal Love of God
202
31. It was the will of the Father that
the humble life of Mary be recorded
by My disciples, who knew her
through her works and who spoke
with her.
32. That life, humble to those
familiar with it, was luminous from
the time of her birth until her end on
earth. Mary wrote many pages of
loving teachings with her humility of
spirit, her infinite tenderness, and with
the purity of heart and love for
humanity, which she expressed with
silence more often than with words;
for she knew it was Christ who had
come to talk to men.
33. The spirit of Mary was the same
tenderness that emanates from the
Father in order to give humanity the
perfect example of humility,
obedience, and meekness. Her
passage through the world was a beam
of light. Her life was simple, elevated,
and pure; in Her the prophecies that
announced that the Messiah would be
born of a virgin were fulfilled.
34. Only She could have carried in
her womb the seed of God; only She
was worthy to remain after her
mission before Jesus was completed,
as the Spiritual Mother of humanity.
35. For that reason, women, Mary is
your perfect model, but seek her and
imitate her in her silence and in her
acts of humility and infinite selfdenial
out of love of the needy; in her silent
pains, in the tenderness that pardons
all, and in the love that is intercession,
consolation, and sweet companion-
ship.
36. Young women, wives, mothers,
orphans or widows, lonely women
whose hearts are pierced by pain,
name Mary as your sweet and
affectionate Mother, call her with
your thoughts, receive her in your
spirit, and feel her in your heart. (225,
46 – 54)
Mary as Intercessor, Comforter,
and Co - Savior of Humanity
37. Mary passed through the world
in silence, but filling the hearts with
peace, interceding for the needy,
praying for all and finally shedding
her tears of forgiveness and pity over
the ignorance and wickedness of men.
Why not seek Mary if you wish to
reach the Father, if through her you
received Jesus? Were not Mother and
Son together in the supreme moment
of the death of the Savior? Was not
the Son's blood blended at the
moment with his Mother's tears? (8,
47)
38. From the cross, I had bequeathed
to the world, the Book of Life, and
spiritual wisdom, a book to be
analyzed and understood by men over
centuries, eras, and times. That is why
I told Mary, trembling with pain at the
foot of the cross, "Woman, there is
your son," motioning to John with My
glance, who in that instant represented
humanity, but a humanity converted
to be a good disciple of Christ, a
spiritualized humanity.
39. To John too I spoke, saying,
"Son, here is your Mother." Words
that I will now explain.
Chapter 20 - Mary, the Maternal Love of God
203
40. Mary represented purity,
obedience, faith, tenderness and
humility. Each of those virtues is a
step on the ladder that I descended to
come to the world and be made man
in the womb of that holy and pure
woman.
41. That tenderness, that purity, and
that love are the Divine womb, where
the seed of life is fertilized.
42. That ladder, by which I
descended to you to be made man and
dwell with My children, is the same
that presents itself to you for your
ascension to Me, transforming
yourselves from men to spirits of
light.
43. Mary is the ladder. Mary is the
maternal womb. Seek her, and you
find Me. (320, 68 - 73)
44. I left you to Mary at the foot of
the cross on the mount that gathered
My blood and the tears of the Mother.
There she remained awaiting her
children, for it shall be She who takes
the cross from their shoulders, and
shows them the road to glory. (94, 73)
45. The message of Mary was that of
consolation, of tenderness, of
humility, and of hope. She had to
come to the earth to make her
maternal essence known, offering her
virginal womb to make the Word
flesh.
46. However, her mission did not
end there. Beyond this world was her
true dwelling place, from which She
can extend her mantle of pity and
tenderness over all her children, from
where she can follow the steps of the
lost, and pour her celestial comfort
over those who suffer.
47. Many centuries before Mary
descended to the world to fulfill her
Divine destiny being made flesh as a
woman, a prophet of God announced
her. Through him, you knew that a
virgin would conceive and bear a son,
who would be called Emanuel, which
is to say, "God with you."
48. In Mary, a woman without a
stain, in whom the Spirit of Celestial
Tenderness descended [to earth], the
Divine promise announced by the
prophet was fulfilled.
49. Since then the world has known
her, and men and the peoples
pronounce her name with love, and in
their pain seek her as Mother.
50. The Mother of Sorrows you call
her, for you know the world buried
the sword of pain in her heart, and
you cannot quit from your minds that
sorrowful face and that expression of
infinite sadness.
51. Today, I wish to tell you to
remove from your heart that eternal
image of pain, and in its place think of
Mary as the sweet, smiling, and
loving Mother who works spiritually
helping all her creatures to elevate
themselves on the road traced by the
Master.
52. Do you see that the mission of
Mary was not limited to maternity on
earth? Her manifestation in the
Second Era was also not unique, for a
new time is reserved to her, in which
she shall speak from Spirit to spirit
with humanity.
Chapter 20 - Mary, the Maternal Love of God
204
53. My disciple John, prophet and
seer, beheld in his ecstasy a woman
dressed in the sun, a radiant virgin of
light.
54. That woman, that virgin, is
Mary, whose womb will once again
conceive, not a new Redeemer, but a
world of men who sustain themselves
by Her love, faith, and humility; in
order to follow the Divine footsteps of
Christ, the Master of all perfection.
55. The prophet saw how that
woman suffered as though to give
birth, and the pain was that of the
purification of man, of the expiation
of the spirits. When the pain has
passed, the light will be made in man,
and gladness shall fill the spirit of
your Universal Mother. (140, 44 - 52)
The Divine Nature of Mary
56. The mantle of your Celestial
Mother has protected the world for
eternity, covering My children, who
are her children, with love. Mary,
Spirit, was not born in the world; her
maternal essence has been with Me
always.
57. She is the wife of My purity and
My holiness; she is My Daughter
upon being made woman, and My
Mother upon conceiving the
Incarnated Word. (141, 63 - 64)
58. Mary is essentially Divine; her
spirit is one with the Father and the
Son. Why judge her human if she was
the favored daughter prophesized to
humanity since the beginning of time
as the creature in which the Divine
Word would be made flesh.
59. Why then do men blaspheme and
doubt My power, scrutinizing My
works without respect? It is because
they have not deeply studied My
Divine teaching, have not meditated
on what the scriptures say, nor
accepted My will.
60. Today, in the Third Era, there is
still doubt that She comes to
communicate with men, but I tell you
that she participates in all My works,
for she is the representation of the
most tender love held in My Divine
Spirit. (221, 4 - 6)
61. Mary is the spirit fused to the
Divinity in such a way that She
constitutes one of its parts like the
three aspects: the Father, the Word,
and the Light of the Holy Spirit. Thus,
Mary is the Spirit of God that
manifests and represents Divine
tenderness. (352, 76)
62. How many await their arrival in
the heights of heaven to know Mary,
who they always imagine in human
form of the woman who on earth was
the Mother of Christ as man, and
whom they represent like a queen on a
throne, beautiful and powerful.
63. Yet I say to you, cease giving
form in your minds to that which is
Divine. Mary, your Spiritual Mother,
exists, but does not have the form of a
woman, or any other form. She is the
sweet and holy tenderness whose
charity extends to the infinite. She
reigns among the spirits, and her
kingdom is that of humility, charity,
Chapter 20 - Mary, the Maternal Love of God
205
and purity, but she has no throne as is
imagined by men.
64. She is beautiful, but with a
beauty you cannot imagine nor
express in even the most beautiful
face. Her beauty is celestial, and the
celestial you will never understand.
(263, 30)
The Universal Emanation of Mary
65. Mary, your universal Mother, is
in Me, and it is She who awards the
most tender caresses to her beloved
creatures. She has been in your heart
to leave in it her peace and to prepare
of a sanctuary. Mary keeps vigil for
the world and extends her wings to
protect it from pole to pole. (145, 10)
66. In My Divinity the love of
intercession exists, it is Mary. How
many hearts that remained closed to
faith have been opened by Her to
repentance and love? Her maternal
essence is in all creation, it is felt by
all, and nonetheless there are those
who while seeing it deny it. (110, 62)
67. Those who deny the Divine
maternity of Mary, are ignorant of one
of the most beautiful revelations the
Divinity has given to man.
68. Those who recognize the divinity
of Christ, but deny it to Mary, do not
know that they are depriving
themselves of the sweetest and most
tender essence of that which exists in
My Divinity.
69. How many are there, who
believing they know the scriptures,
know nothing, for they have
understood nothing. And how many
are there who believing they have
found the language of creation, live in
confusion.
70. The Maternal Spirit beats
sweetly in all beings; you may behold
its image at every step. Its Divine
tenderness has fallen like a blessed
seed into the hearts of all creatures;
every kingdom of nature is a living
testimony of Her, and every mother's
heart is an altar raised to that great
love. Mary was a Divine flower, and
Jesus was its fruit. (115, 15 - 18)
My peace be with you !

Chapter 21 - Omnipotence and Omnipresence of God and His
Justice
The Power of God
1. If modern man, with all his
science, is not able to submit to his
will the elements of Nature, how
could He impose his strength against
the spiritual forces?
2. In the same way that the stars and
planets in the Cosmos follow their
inalterable order without the will of
man being able to change their course
or destiny, neither can anyone change
the order that exists in the spiritual.
3. I made day and night, for I am the
Light, and none but I can retain it. It
happens in the same way in the
spiritual. (329, 31 - 33)
4. If you believe in Me, you must
trust that My strength is infinitely
greater than that of the sins of men,
and so when sin cedes before the light
of truth and justice, man and his life,
will have to change.
5. Can you imagine life in the world
when men perform the Will of God?
(88, 59 - 60)
6. For Me the repentance of a being,
his regeneration, and his salvation
cannot be impossible. I would not be
The Almighty if men were stronger
than Me. Do you imagine My power
to be inferior to the strength of evil in
men? Do you believe human darkness
superior to the Divine light? Never,
your heart tells Me.
7. Think of My mission, after giving
you your being, as that of bringing
you to perfection, and uniting you in
one single spiritual family. Do not
forget, My Will is done above all.
8. I, the Divine Sower, invisibly
deposit My seed of love in each spirit.
Only I know in what time this spirit
will germinate in all humanity, and
only I know how to await with infinite
patience the fruit of My works. (272,
17 - 19)
9. I do not come to humiliate you
with My greatness or to make a
display of it; but I do come to
demonstrate it to you according to My
Will, so that you will feel the supreme
joy of having as a Father a God all
powerful, wise, and perfect.
10. Rejoice in thinking that you will
never get to behold the end of My
power, and the greater the elevation of
your spirit, the better you shall see
Me. Who would feel dissatisfied by
knowing that He would never reach
the greatness of his Father? By chance
on earth, have you not been satisfied
to be junior to your earthly Father? By
chance, have you not joyfully
conceded to him experience and
authority? Have you not rejoiced
contemplating that you have as a
Father a man stronger than you,
proud, courageous and filled with
virtues? (73, 41 - 42)
11. What can the strength of men
mean against My power? What can
the opposition of the materialist
Chapter 21 - Omnipotence and Omnipresence of God and His Justice
208
peoples do against the infinite
strength of spirituality? Nothing.
12. I have permitted man to go to the
limit of his ambitions and the farthest
reaches of his arrogance, to prove that
the gift of free will, conceded by his
Father, is real.
13. But once man reaches the limit
of his ambition, He will awaken
spiritually, and will pursue spiritual
enlightenment and love. He will then
kneel before God who is the only
absolute power and universal truth.
(192, 53)
The Presence of God in All
Creation
14. I do not have a specific or a
limited place to dwell in the heavens,
for I am present everywhere. I am
present in all Divine, spiritual, and
material sites. You cannot point to the
direction of My Kingdom. When you
look up to the sky, pointing towards
the heavens, do so only symbolically,
for your planet turns without ceasing,
and in each movement it presents you
new skies and new heights.
15. Thus I say to you that there is no
distance between us. The only things
that separate you from Me are the bad
and impure deeds which you place
between your spirit and My perfect
law.
16. The greater your purity, the more
elevated will be your deeds. The more
constant your faith, the closer, more
intimate, and more accessible to your
prayers you will feel Me.
17. In that same manner, when you
separate yourselves from that which is
good, just, and righteous, and
continue to live a life filled with
materialism and selfishness, you will
inevitably feel Me more and more
distant from you. The more you
separate yourself from obeying My
law, the less you will be able to feel
My Divine presence.
18. Understand why I have come at
this time to manifest My word in this
form and to prepare you for the
communication of spirit to Spirit.
19. Believing that I am very distant
from you, you did not know how to
come to Me. I have sought you in
order to have you feel My Divine
presence and to show you that
between the Father and his children,
there is no distance to separate them.
(37, 27 - 32)
20. If you think that I have left My
throne to come to communicate with
you, you are in error, for that throne
that you imagine does not exist;
thrones are for vain and proud men.
21. My Spirit, being infinite and
omnipotent, does not inhabit a fixed
place. It is everywhere, in every place
both spiritual and material. Where is
that throne you attribute to Me?
22. Cease giving me material form
on such thrones as on earth; take from
Me the human form you always
attribute to Me, stop dreaming of a
heaven that your human mind is
incapable of conceiving; and when
you free yourselves from all that, it
will be as though you break the chains
that have bound you, as though a high
wall crumble from before your eyes,
Chapter 21 - Omnipotence and Omnipresence of God and His Justice
209
as though a thick cloud has dissipated,
permitting you to behold a horizon
without limits and an infinite
firmament, luminous, but still
accessible to the spirit.
23. Some say: God is in the heavens,
others: God is in the beyond; but they
do not know what they say, nor what
they believe. Certainly I inhabit the
heavens, but not in a certain place, as
you have imagined; I inhabit the
heavens of light, of power, of love, of
wisdom, of justice, of happiness, and
of perfection. (130, 30 and 35 – 36)
24. My universal presence fills
everything, there is no vacuum in any
site or plane of the Universe, all of it
is saturated with Me. (309, 3)
25. I have said to you, I am so near
to you that I am aware of your most
intimate thoughts. I am always with
you, because I am present
everywhere. I am the light that
illuminates your mind and inspires
you.
26. I am in you, because it is I who
inspire you and who judges you
through your conscience. I am in your
material senses and in your physical
body, because I am throughout
creation.
27. Feel My presence more and more
within you and all throughout nature.
Thus, when you depart from earth you
will enter fully the spiritual life. Your
spirit will not feel distress due to the
effects of the material body. This will
enable you to come a step closer to
me, because I am a fountain of infinite
purity from which you will drink
eternally. (180, 50 - 52)
28. Do you know the origin of that
light in the Word that pours from the
lips of the spokesmen? Its origin is in
good, in the Divine love, in the
universal light that emanates from
God. It is a beam or a flash of that
luminous All that gives you life; it is
part of the infinite power that moves
all, and underneath which all vibrates,
palpitates, and turns without ceasing.
That is what you call the Divine
radiation. It is the light of the Divine
Spirit that illuminates and gives life to
the spirits.
29. That radiation manifests itself
equally over the spiritual as the
material, equally over worlds and
men, and over the plants and all the
beings of Creation. It is spiritual for
the spirit, and material to matter; it is
intelligence for understanding, and it
is love to the hearts. It is science, it is
talent, and it is reflection; it is instinct
and intuition, and it is over the senses
of all beings, according to their order,
their condition, their species, and their
degree of advancement. But its origin
is one only: God; and its essence is
one only: love. How could it then be
impossible for Me to illuminate the
mind of these creatures to send you a
message of spiritual light?
30. The plants receive the radiation
of life that My Spirit sends them to
give fruit; the heavenly bodies receive
the force irradiated by My spirit in
order to spin in their orbits; the earth,
which is the present evidence, alive,
and within reach of all your senses,
Chapter 21 - Omnipotence and Omnipresence of God and His Justice
210
receives the radiation that makes such
marvels spring from its bosom
unceasingly. Why should it be
impossible that man, in whom the
presence of a spirit shines like a jewel,
and in which He bears such a
resemblance to me, receive directly in
his spirit from My Spirit, the Divine
radiation, which is the spiritual seed
that in him must bear fruit? (329, 42 -
44)
31. Not even one of your sighs
escapes being heard in heaven, not
one prayer fails to find echo in Me,
none of your afflictions or difficulties
goes unnoticed by My Fatherly Love.
I know all, hear all, and see all; I Am
in all.
32. Men, believing that for their sins
I have abandoned them, have come to
feel that I am distant from them. O,
human ignorance that has brought
such bitterness to your lips.
Understand that if I absented Myself
from any of My creatures, they would
cease to exist at that instant; but that
has never been, nor shall it be,
because upon giving you a spirit, I
gave you eternal life. (108, 44 - 45)
The Avatars of Destiny
33. Do not curse the trials that
burden you and all the human species;
do not say that they are a punishment,
the anger, or the revenge, of God, for
you blaspheme. I tell you that these
trials are precisely that which brings
humanity closer to the gates of
salvation.
34. Call them justice, atonement, or
lessons, and you will be correct and
fair. Anger and desire for revenge are
human passions, characteristic of
beings still far from serenity,
harmony, and perfection; it is not
right for you to apply the vulgar name
of punishment, or the unworthy name
of revenge, to My love for you, which
governs over all My works.
35. Remember that you have
voluntarily entered the thorny paths
and glooMy abysses and have not
come to My loving call, nor have you
listened to the voice of your
conscience, and so you have needed
pain to come to your aid: to awaken
you, to hold you back, to make you
think, and return to the true path.
(181, 6 - 8)
36. I do not punish you; but I am
Justice, and as such I make you feel it
in all that contravenes My
commandments, for The Eternal has
made you to know His Law, which
none can modify.
37. See how man, in the midst of his
trials, upon falling into an immense
abyss, upon seeing women crying for
the loss of loved ones, the children
deprived of food, and homes
immersed in mourning and misery,
cries, dismayed by his misfortune,
becomes desperate, and instead of
praying and repenting of his faults,
turns against Me, asking: How can
God punish me in this way? And all
the while, the Divine Spirit, truly,
cries as well for the sufferings of its
Chapter 21 - Omnipotence and Omnipresence of God and His Justice
211
children, and its tears are the blood of
love, forgiveness, and life.
38. Truly, I tell you that in this time,
due to the evolution that humanity has
reached, they do not depend only on
My charity to resolve the situation.
Humanity is the victim of itself, not of
My punishment, for My Law and My
light shine in every conscience.
39. My justice descends to pull up
all the noxious weeds
*
by the roots,
and the very forces of Nature manifest
themselves as interpreters of that
justice, so that it seems as though all
things are united in an effort to
exterminate man, when it is only for
his purification; but there are some
who are confused, and say: "If we
must suffer such pain, why do we
come to this world?" They have not
considered the fact that the pain and
sin do not come from Me.
40. Man is responsible for remaining
ignorant of what is justice, and of
what is atonement, and that is the
cause of his lack of conformity,
followed by blaspheMy. Only He who
has observed My teachings and is
attentive to My Law is unable to
throw charges at his Father. (242, 19 -
21)
*
21,39 From His other teachings, we
understand that by “weeds” or “noxious
plants” Christ does not mean human beings,
but their vices and evil impulses.
The Justice of God
41. You are like bushes, sometimes
you have branches that are dry and
sick, that need the painful cut of the
trimmer to separate yourselves from
your ills and bring you back to health.
42. My justice of love, upon tearing
from the human tree the sickened
branches that eat away at your hearts,
elevates you.
43. When a limb is to be amputated
from a man, He whines, trembles, and
is fearful, even while knowing that it
is being done to separate from him
that which is diseased, that which is
dead, and that which threatens what
might still live.
44. Rosebushes, too, when they
suffer the cuts of trimming, leak sap
like tears of pain, but finally cover
themselves with the most beautiful
flowers.
45. My love, in infinitely superior
form, cuts the evil from the hearts of
My children, at times sacrificing even
Myself.
46. When men crucified me, I
covered My executioners with My
sweetness and forgiveness, and gave
them life. In My words and in My
silences I filled them with light, I
defended them, and I saved them.
Thusly I cut away the evil, stopping it
with My love and saving the evil -
doer. Those pardons are still today,
and always will be sources of
redemption. (248, 5)
47. I cannot give you sentences more
severe than your faults, for which
reason I tell you that you do not have
Chapter 21 - Omnipotence and Omnipresence of God and His Justice
212
anything to fear from Me, but rather
from yourselves.
48. Only I know the seriousness, the
magnitude, and the importance of
your faults; men constantly let
themselves be fooled by appearances,
and that is because they are not able to
enter the hearts of their neighbors. I
do enter their hearts, and I can tell you
that men have arrived before Me,
accusing themselves of grave faults
and full of sadness for having
offended Me, and I have judged them
clean; on the other hand others have
come to say to Me that they have
never done ill to anyone, and I know
that they lie, for although their hands
are not stained with the blood of their
brothers, upon their spirit the blood of
their victims has fallen, those whose
lives they have ordered ended; they
are those who have thrown the stone
and hidden the hand. When in My
Word I have come to pronounce the
words, "coward," "liar," or "traitor,"
all their being trembled, and many
times they have absented themselves
from the teachings, because they have
felt upon themselves the gaze that
judges them.
49. If, in the Divine justice, the
greatest love of the Father were not
present, if his justice did not have that
principle, humanity would not exist
already, their sins and offenses would
have already exhausted the Divine
patience. But it has not been so:
humanity has continued to live, the
spirits continue reincarnating, and at
each step, in every human work, My
justice, which is love and infinite
charity, has been manifest. (258, 3)
50. Analyze My word, so that you
are not confused, like many, before
the acts of My Divine justice, when I
touch heavily those who commit only
a slight error, and in contrast, appear
to absolve those who have committed
a grave error.
51. The Master tells you: If I touch
heavily on one who has committed an
apparently minor fault, it is because I
know the weakness of spirits, and
stepping off the path of duty may be
the first step that leads to the abyss;
and if I absolve others of a grave
error, it is because a great fault is also
motive for a great repentance of the
spirit.
52. Do not judge. Do not sentence.
Do not wish, even in thought, that My
judgment fall upon those who cause
the spilling of blood between peoples.
Think only that they, like you, are
also My children, My creatures, and
will have to wash away their great
faults with great restitutions. Truly I
tell you, these very ones who you
point to as those who mercilessly
destroyed peace and led you to chaos,
shall in the times to come become the
great sowers of My peace, and great
benefactors of humanity.
53. The blood of millions of victims
clamors from the earth for My Divine
justice, but above human justice must
be mine, which comes to each spirit,
to each heart.
Chapter 21 - Omnipotence and Omnipresence of God and His Justice
213
54. The justice of men does not
pardon, does not redeem, does not
love; mine loves, pardons, redeems,
resuscitates, elevates, and enlightens
those very ones who have caused
humanity such pain. I shall redeem
them and cleanse them, having them
make their great restitution which
shall be the crucible in which they
purify themselves and in which they
wake fully to the voice of their
consciences, so that they may come to
contemplate even the gravest of their
works. I shall make them travel the
road traveled by their victims and
their peoples, but in the end they shall
achieve spiritual purity in order to
return to earth to restore and
reconstruct all that has been
destroyed, to make restitution for all
that was lost. (309, 16 - 18)
55. You should know, that it will not
be when death reaches you, that your
Father will judge you, but that the
judgment begins as soon as you
become aware of your deeds and feel
the call of your conscience.
56. My judgment is always upon
you. At each step, be it in the human
existence or in your spiritual life, you
are subject to My judgment, but here
in the world, while in the flesh, the
spirit becomes insensitive and deaf to
the calls of its conscience.
57. I judge you to help you open
your eyes to the light, to liberate you
from sin and save you from pain.
58. In My judgment, I never take
into account the offences that you
might have caused Me, for before My
tribunal, hatred, vengeance and even
punishment are nonexistent.
59. When pain reaches your heart
and touches you where it is most
sensitive, it indicates to you some
error that you are committing, to
make you understand My teaching,
and give you a new and wise lesson.
In the depth of each of those trials,
My love is always present.
60. On some occasions I have
permitted you to understand the
reason for an ordeal, in others, you
cannot find the meaning of that touch
of My justice; and the fact is, that in
the Work of the Father and in the life
of your spirit, there exist profound
Mysteries that the human mind is
unable to decipher. (23, 13 - 17)
61. The time is long past when you
were told: "The measure you give is
the measure you will get." How many
times has that law been used to take
vengeance here on earth, leaving aside
all feeling of charity!
62. Today I say to you, I have taken
that rod of justice, and with it I will
measure you according to the way you
measured others, although I should
make it clear to you that in each of
My judgments, the Father, who loves
you very much, the Redeemer who
has come to save you, will be present.
63. It is man who with his deeds
dictates his own sentences, sometimes
terrible sentences, and it is your Lord
who provides help so that you can
find the way to bear your restitution.
64. Truly I say to you that if you
wish to avoid a very painful
Chapter 21 - Omnipotence and Omnipresence of God and His Justice
214
restitution, repent in the opportune
time and with sincere regeneration
guide your life through deeds of love
and charity toward your brethren.
65. Understand that I am the door of
salvation, the door that will never be
closed to all those who seek Me with
true faith. (23, 19 - 23)
66. Now you know that the Divine
justice is of love, not of punishment
like yours. What would become of
you if I made use of your own laws to
judge you, before Me, where
appearances and false arguments have
no value?
67. If I judged you according to your
wickedness, and used your own laws
of terrible harshness, what would
become of you? Then you would
certainly be justified in asking Me for
clemency.
68. However, you should not fear,
because My love never withers,
changes, or passes on; on the other
hand, you do pass on, you die and are
reborn, you depart and then return and
thus you are journeying until the day
comes in which you will recognize
your Father and submit to His Divine
Law. (17, 53)
My peace be with you !
215
Chapter 22 - The Love, Assistance and Grace of God
The Love of the Heavenly Father
1. Do not be surprised that My love
follows you everywhere in spite of
your sins. All of you My children,
have had a reflection of the Divine
love in the love of your parents in this
world. On them you may turn your
back, fail to recognize their authority,
disobey their orders, and not listen to
their counsel; you can, through your
wrongful actions cause wounds in
their hearts, make their eyes dry out
from so much crying, make their hair
turn gray, and cause their faces to be
lined by the evidence of their
suffering; but they will never cease
loving you, and will have only
blessings and forgiveness for you.
2. And if these parents that you have
had on earth, who are not perfect,
have given you such proof of pure and
elevated love, why are you surprised
that He, who formed those hearts and
gave them the mission of being
parents, loves you with perfect love?
Love is the supreme truth. For truth I
made Myself man, and for truth I died
as a man. (52, 27)
3. Do not be surprised by My love,
and do not doubt it if you see that the
cup you drink from in the world, is
very bitter.
4. Men might fall far, fill themselves
with darkness, or delay returning to
Me, but to all will come a moment
when feeling Me within their very
being, they do not feel Me far, do not
see Me as a stranger, and cannot deny
My existence, My love, and My
justice. (52, 30)
5. I do not wish to see you before me
as defendants; I wish to see you
always as My children, for whom My
Fatherly love is always ready to offer
aid. I have created you for the glory of
My Spirit, and for you to find joy in
Me. (127, 41)
6. Learn to love Me. Behold how
My love follows you everywhere,
even though you continue to sin and
offend Me, you can never separate or
flee from it. Know that the greater
your faults, the greater is My mercy
for you.
7. The evil in men would seek to halt
My love, but cannot, because love is
the universal force, the Divine power
that creates and moves all.
8. The proof of that which I tell you,
is what I have given you by
manifesting Myself among you in this
time, in which humanity is lost in the
abyss of its sin. My love cannot feel
repulsion faced with human sin, but
pity.
9. Know Me, come to Me to cleanse
your stains in the crystalline fountain
of My charity. Ask, ask, and it shall
be given to you. (297, 59 - 62)
10. At times men judge themselves
so unworthy of Me, that they cannot
believe how much I love them; and
so, when they are resigned to living
distanced from their Father, they
Chapter 22 - The Love, Assistance and Grace of God
216
construct a life according to their own
ideas, and create their laws and their
religions. But their surprise is great
when they see me arrive. Then they
ask: "Does our Father truly love us so
much that He seeks such a way of
communicating with us?"
11. Humanity, I can only tell you
that what is mine I will not allow to
be lost, and you are mine. I have
loved you since before you existed,
and will love you for eternity. (112,
14 - 15)
The Help and Protection of God
12. Disciples, I have given you all
the lessons that the spirit needs for its
evolution.
13. Blessed are those who recognize
truth, for they shall quickly find the
road. Others always reject the Divine
teachings because to them their works
seem superior to mine.
14. I love them all. I am the
shepherd who calls to his sheep, who
gathers them and counts them, and
wishes every day to have more of
them; who sustains and caresses them,
who cares for them, and enjoys seeing
that they are many, but who cries
sometimes on seeing that not all of
them are obedient.
15. Those are your hearts: many
come to Me, but few are those who
truly follow Me. (266, 23 - 26)
16. Take up your cross, and follow
Me with humility; trust that while you
are busy in consolation, in giving
peace to a heart, or giving light to a
spirit, I will be in charge of that
relating to your material life, and I
will neglect nothing.
17. Believe, that when I speak to
your spirit I am also looking into your
heart to discover your worries, your
needs, and your yearnings. (89, 6 - 7)
18. There is no race or tribe, no
matter how hidden, not even those
you do not know of because they are
hidden in impenetrable jungles, who
have not had manifestations of My
love. In moments of danger they have
heard heavenly voices that protect,
shelter and counsel them.
19. You have never lived
abandoned; from the instant that you
sprang to life you have been in the
shelter of My love.
20. You, human parents, who
tenderly love your children: Would
you be capable of abandoning them to
their fate when they have barely
awoken to this life, when they most
need your care, your vigilance, and
your love?
21. I have watched you keep vigil
for your children, even when they
have grown to adults; for those who
do wrong, and who have offended
you, you keep vigil with even more
love.
22. If you respond in this way to the
needs of your children, how do you
imagine the love of the Heavenly
Father must be, who has loved you
since before you existed ?
23. I have always come to your aid,
and in this time when you have
reached greater spiritual evolution, I
have come to teach you how to
Chapter 22 - The Love, Assistance and Grace of God
217
vanquish the unhealthy forces, and the
way to increase the vibrations of
good. (345, 39 - 42)
24. You are going to begin a new
phase in your life. The path has been
prepared. Take up your cross and
follow Me. I have not told you that
there would be no trials on this path.
However, you will hear a voice that
offers you inspiration and advice
when you confront an ordeal or drain
a cup of bitterness. My love will help
you to arise whenever you fall and
you will feel the gentle caress of My
balsam. (280, 34)
25. When I see you allowing
yourselves to be defeated by pain, and
instead of taking from it the light that
each trial contains, you limit yourself
to weeping and cursing, or simply to
waiting for death as the end of your
sufferings, then I come to sweetly call
to your heart, giving you comfort and
hope, strengthening you, so that you
may overcome yourself: your
weakness and lack of faith; and may
triumph over the trials, because in that
triumph is the peace and spiritual
happiness that is true happiness. (181,
10)
26. If you see that I am found in
even the smallest beings of Nature,
how could you think that I would
ignore you and distance Myself from
you only because you have
imperfections, since it is then that you
need Me most?
27. I am Life, and am in all,
therefore nothing can die. Analyze, so
that you do not remain tied to the
form; quiet your senses and find me in
the essence. (158, 43 - 44)
28. Penetrate your own interior, and
there you will find the sanctuary, the
arc; you will find a source, a fountain
of grace and blessings.
29. No spirit is naked, and none is
disinherited. Before My Divine
mercy, there is not one in the
Universe who can say He is poor or
unknown to his Father, none who can
call themselves exiles from the lands
of The Lord.
30. He who feels disinherited, feel so
because He has not found in himself
the gifts, because He is temporarily
lost in sin, or because He is confused,
or feels unworthy.
31. Know to find [those gifts] within
you, and you will never lack My
presence, you will see that there will
always be bread, balm, "weapons",
keys, and all that is necessary to your
hearts, for you are the heirs of My
Realm and of My Glory. (345, 87)
32. There is a bond between a Father
and his children that can never be
broken, and that bond is the reason
that communication exists between
the Divine Spirit and all of yours.
(262, 35)
33. Humanity needs My love, and
My Word, which must reach the
depths of their hearts. The Master
struggles untiringly so that your spirit
Chapter 22 - The Love, Assistance and Grace of God
218
might be more enlightened each day,
so that throwing off ignorance you
may raise yourself to the higher
mansions.
34. The doors of My Kingdom are
open, and the Word of the Father
comes to you with infinite love to
show you the road once more.
35. I have come again to humanity
and you have not sensed Me, for I
have presented Myself in the Spirit,
and your materialism is great. If your
spirit sprang from My Divine Spirit,
why has humanity not sensed Me?
Because they have tied their spirits to
materialism, to the lower passions.
36. Yet, here is The Lamb of God,
who comes to you like light to
illuminate you and give you the truth.
(340, 13 - 15)
The Humility of the Lord
37. Understand that My Word does
not come to fill your minds with vain
philosophies, it is the essence of life. I
am not a [mere] wealthy man coming
to offer you earthly riches. I am the
One and Only God, who comes to
promise you The Kingdom of True
Life. I am the humble God who comes
to his children without ostentation, to
raise them up with His caresses and
with His miraculous Word through
the road of restitution. (85, 55)
38. Be My servants, and you will
never be humiliated by Me.
39. Observe that I have not come as
a king, I bring neither scepter nor
crown; I am among you an example
of humility, and more, as your
servant.
40. Ask, and I shall give you, order
and I obey so that you may have
another proof of My love and My
humility. I ask only that you
recognize and do My Will, and if you
encounter obstacles to the fulfillment
of your duties, pray and overcome
them in My Name, and your merits
will be the greater. (111, 46)
41. It is the Father who speaks to
you, He who has non to bow to in
prayer; yet, truly I tell you, if over Me
there were one greater, I would bow
before him, for in My Spirit there is
humility.
42. See how you, being My little
creatures, rather than struggling to
ascend to Me, make me descend to
speak to you, listen to you and
console you. (125, 19)
43. Feel in your hearts the joy of
being loved by your Father, who has
never come to humiliate you with His
greatness, but rather to manifest it in
His perfect humility, to make you
great, bringing you to live the true life
in His Kingdom, which has neither
beginning nor end. (101, 63)
The Compassion and Condolence of
God
44. If you believe that Jesus, being
the Son of God, did not experience
pain, you are mistaken; if you believe
that because I came today in Spirit I
am exempt from pain, you are also in
error; if you think that because I know
Chapter 22 - The Love, Assistance and Grace of God
219
that in the end all of you will be with
Me, I do not suffer now, neither are
you in the right. Verily I say to you,
that there does not exist another more
sensitive being than the Divine Spirit.
45. I ask you: Who gave sensitivity
to all beings? What good thing can
you do that will not make Me rejoice?
And what unrighteous thing can you
do that will not be like a wound in My
sensibility? This is why I say to you
that humanity has crucified Me again.
When will I descend from My cross
and the crown of thorns be taken
away from Me? (69, 34)
46. If there are some who arise as
My enemies, I do not regard them as
such, only as needy; just as those who
consider themselves to be wise and
who deny My existence, I look on
with pity. Those who try to destroy
Me within the hearts of mankind, I
judge as ignorant, since they believe
they have the power or weapons to
destroy Him who is the Author of
Life. (73, 33)
47. I come to show Myself as a
loving Father and as a humble Master,
never indifferent to your suffering and
always indulgent and merciful with
your imperfections, for to Me you will
always be children.
48. I must judge you when I observe
that creatures formed with such love,
and destined for eternal life so
obstinately seek death on the earth
without concerning themselves with
spiritual life, and without wishing to
know the perfections that eternal
existence reserves to you. (125, 59 -
60)
49. Think, if I am your Father, I
must necessarily feel what My
children feel, only in this way will
you understand that while each of you
suffers and senses his own pain, the
Divine Spirit suffers with the pain of
all His creatures.
50. As proof of this truth I came to
the world to make Myself man and
bear a cross representing all the pain
and sin of the world. And, if as man I
bore on My shoulders the weight of
your imperfections, if I felt your pain,
could I, as God, be insensitive to the
pain of My children? (219, 11 - 12)
The Forgiveness, Mercy, and
Clemency of God
51. I am the only one who knows the
destiny of all, the only one who
knows the road you have traveled and
that which you have still to go. I am
He who understands your suffering
and your joys. I know what you have
gone through to find truth and justice.
My charity is that which perceives the
anguished voice within you that asks
forgiveness for your faults.
52. As Father I come to attend every
plea, to wipe away your tears, to heal
your illnesses, and to make you feel
forgiven and absolved of your stains,
so that you may remake your lives.
53. I am also the only one who can
pardon you for the offenses against
Me, of you, who are My children.
(245, 39 - 41)
Chapter 22 - The Love, Assistance and Grace of God
220
54. In this era, My Word is again
enlightening you. I come to pour out
My grace so that you are cleansed and
prepared, but recognize, people, if you
fall again into sin, it is not I who
separate you from My bosom, but you
who are distancing yourselves from
Me, even though this is not My Will.
Still, My love and forgiveness will
remain like an open door, to receive
all who repent and wish to return to
Me. (283, 69)
55. By the love with which I pardon
and correct you, I give Myself to be
known. When you lived according to
your own will, offending the Father
every instant, I did not cut the thread
of that sinful existence, I did not deny
you either air or bread; I did not
abandon you to pain, nor did I ignore
your complaints; and Nature
continued surrounding you with its
fecundity, its light, and its blessings.
It is in this way that I give Myself to
be known and manifest Myself to
men. None on earth can love you with
that love, and none could forgive you
with the forgiveness that I grant.
56. Your spirit is a seed that I have
been cultivating and perfecting from
eternity to give the most beautiful
flowers and the most perfect fruit.
How could I let you die or abandon
you to the fury of the tempests? How
could I abandon you on the road, if I
alone know the destination of all
creatures? (241, 31 - 33)
57. To those who go walking on lost
paths, I am ready to receive you and
give you My strength and light when
you call Me. It is not important that in
your matter and your spirit you bring
the traces of the great sinners. I will
make you bless those who have
injured you, and praise God for
having beheld that marvel in you.
That is when you will begin to feel the
love of Christ in your hearts.
58. There are those who on hearing
these words think, "How is it possible
that the great sinners can receive this
grace like the just, who have it by
merit?"
59. Humanity, oh, humanity, do you
not see beyond your noses? I have
always given you My benefits through
My grace, rather than because you
have earned them.
60. I respond alike to a pure thought,
as to the sad lament of He who
approaches Me bearing stains, as long
as from him springs even the smallest
flash of humility or recognition of his
lack of love for his brothers.
61. I am the defender of the weak
that cry in the midst of their
impotence and ignorance. I am the
Divine hope that calls and consoles
those who cry, I am sweet Jesus who
gently caresses they who whimper in
pain and in restitution.
62. I am the Savior: your Redeemer;
I am the Truth within the reach of
man. (248, 18 - 21)
My peace be with you !
221
Chapter 23 - Inspirations and Revelations of God
Divine Inspirations
1. Disciples: If My word comes to
you and you do not understand it, you
doubt it; and I tell you, when
uncertainty torments you, retire to the
solitude of the countryside, and there,
in the midst of Nature, where you
have only the fields, the mountains,
and the firmament for witnesses, ask
your Master again. Enter deeply into
his Word, and soon you will have his
sweet reply, then you will feel
transported, inspired, and full of an
unknown spiritual joy.
2. In this way you will cease to be
the men of little faith, knowing that
the word of God contains truth, but to
discover it, it is necessary to know
how to penetrate it with devotion and
purity, for it is a holy place.
3. When you are prepared and wish
to know something, your thirst for
light will attract the Divine light. How
many times have I told you: Go up to
the mountain, and tell me there your
anxieties, your pains, and your needs.
4. Jesus, by his example, taught you
these lessons in the Second Era;
remember My example when I retired
to the desert to pray before beginning
My preaching. Remember that in the
last days of My stay among men,
rather than going to the synagogue to
pray, I sought out the loneliness of the
Mount of Olives to converse with the
Father?
5. Nature is a temple of the Creator,
where all is raised up to worship Him;
there you may receive the radiation of
your Father directly and in complete
purity. There, far from selfishness and
human materialism, you will feel wise
inspirations coming to your heart that
move you to practice good in your
path. (169, 28 - 31)
6. You must be vigilant disciples, for
I will not speak to you only through
this conduit. I will seek to contact
your spirit while your body sleeps as
well; I will teach you to enter that
repose prepared, and so that your
spirit may be freed to rise to the
regions of light, from where it will
receive the prophecy to illuminate its
road, transmitting its message to your
understanding. (100, 30)
7. I have never been far from you, as
you have sometimes thought, and I
have never been indifferent to your
pains, nor deaf to your calls. What has
happened is that you have not
concerned yourselves with refining
your higher senses, hoping to perceive
Me with the senses of the flesh. I tell
you that the time when I conceded
that to men is long past.
8. If you had bothered a little to
develop some of your spiritual gifts,
such as the elevation of your thoughts,
prayer, premonition, prophetic
dreams, or spiritual vision, I assure
you that through any of these you
would be communicating with Me,
and thereby receiving answers to your
questions and Divine inspiration in
your thoughts.
Chapter 23 - Inspirations and Revelations of God
222
9. I am entirely disposed to talk to
you, always awaiting your elevation
and spiritual preparation to please you
and give you the happiness of My
communication with your spirit. It
requires only that you also be
prepared with great purity to achieve
that grace. (324, 52 - 54)
10. Ask your wise men, and if they
are sincere they will tell you that they
have asked God for inspiration. And I
would give them more inspiration if
they would request it with greater love
for their brethren and less vanity for
themselves.
11. Truly I say to you that all true
knowledge that you have accumulated
comes from Me, all that is pure and
elevated I will use during this period
for your benefit, for I have granted it
to you for that purpose. (17, 59 - 60)
12. This is the period in which My
Spirit is constantly speaking to man's
conscience, as well as to his Spirit, his
heart, and to his reason. My voice
reaches man through his trials and
many are awakening as a result of
those trials, since those who are
supposed to be guiding and teaching
humanity are asleep and would prefer
for humanity to remain dormant
forever. (306, 63)
13. In the Third Era I have come to
carry out with the clarity of My
manifestations, that which has been
impossible for men: communicate
through human understanding.
14. Understand Me, disciples,
because in the spirit to Spirit
communication that awaits you, you
will feel My presence eternally; if you
know how to prepare, you will not
again say to Me: "Lord, why do you
not come?" or "Can't you see My
pain?" You will not speak to Me in
this way, disciples. Truly, I tell you,
He who speaks to Me in this way
gives tangible proof of his ignorance
and lack of preparation.
15. I do not wish to see My disciples
distanced from Me, I want you to say
to Me in your spirit, "Master, you are
among us, our spirits sense you, your
wisdom is the source of My
inspiration." That is the true
confession I wish to hear from you.
(316, 54)
The Adaptation of the Divine
Revelations to Human
Understanding
16. In order to manifest the Divine,
your languages are limited; for that
reason in all eras I have had to speak
to you through parables, through
metaphors, but as you can see, even
by speaking to you thus, you have
understood Me very little, because
you have lacked the necessary will to
analyze My manifestations. (14, 50)
17. In every Era you have awaited
Me, and yet, when you have had Me
in front of you, you have not
recognized Me due to your lack of
vigilance and spirituality. I tell you
that in whatever form My presence is
Chapter 23 - Inspirations and Revelations of God
223
seen, it will always embody truth and
Divine essence.
18. I have told you that I have made
use of many forms to manifest Myself
to the world, but these have not been
disguises to hide My Spirit from you,
but rather for the purpose of
humanizing Myself, limiting Myself,
and thus making Myself heard and felt
by men.
19. Now I tell you, that before you
express judgment, listen to this voice
until the instant of your convincing or
enlightenment, when in your spirit
there shines a light. (97, 11 - 12)
20. While men persist in their
blindness and ignorance, they force
God, who before all else is a Father,
to humanize himself, limit himself,
and make himself small before his
children, to be understood. When will
you allow Me to show Myself to you
with the greatness that you should see
Me?
21. You must be great to conceive of
Me as great, and that is why I come,
once and again, to give you spiritual
greatness so that you can have the
infinite joy of knowing your Father,
of feeling his love, and of hearing the
Divine concert that vibrates above
you. (99, 26 - 27)
22. The outward part of that
revelation of the Father in Sinai was
the stone that served as medium for
the inscription of the Divine Law.
23. The outward part of the
communication of God with men
through Jesus, was the vessel, the
human form of Christ.
24. In this time, the outward form of
My communication has been the
speaker, for which reason this form,
as it did in times past, shall come to
its end.
25. Understand that you are the
children of the spiritualist people, who
must not sustain themselves with
forms, but with essences; if you
understand My Word well, you will
never again fall into idolatry, nor
adhere to outward practices, to forms,
to the transitory, for you will go
always in search of the essential, the
eternal. (224, 69 - 71)
Different Means of Divine
Revelations
26. Mankind would like to have the
visit of a new Messiah who would
save them from the abyss, or at least
to hear the humanized voice of God
vibrating in the wind, and I say to you
that it would suffice for you to
observe a little, or to withdraw your
spirit into meditation to give it
sensitivity, so that you would hear
how everything speaks to you. If you
think it impossible that the stones
speak, I say to you; that not only the
stones but everything that surround's
you speaks to you of your Creator, so
that you will awaken from your
dreams of grandeur, of pride and
materialism. (61, 49)
27. The illuminated of previous
times always beheld rays of brilliance,
they always listened to My word. The
Chapter 23 - Inspirations and Revelations of God
224
prophets, the inspired ones, the
forerunners, the founders of doctrines
of elevated spirituality, have given
testimony of hearing voices as if
proceeding from clouds, from the
mountains, from the wind or from
somewhere which they could not
pinpoint; that they heard the voice of
God as if proceeding from tongues of
fire and in Mysterious echoes. Many
heard, saw and felt through their
senses, others through their spiritual
attributes, in a manner similar to what
is happening in this period.
28. Truly I say to you: Those who
received My messages through their
corporeal senses, interpreted the
Divine inspiration spiritually, and
they did it according to their material
and spiritual preparation, and in
agreement with the times in which
they lived on earth, in a way that is
taking place today with the human
instruments whom you call
spokesmen, or faculties. But I must
say to you, that during previous times,
as well as the present, they have
mingled their own ideas or those
which predominated around them
with the purity of the Divine
revelations, and fully aware of it, or
not, they have altered the purity and
unlimited essence of the truth, which,
truthfully I say to you, is love in its
greatest manifestations.
29. The vibrations and spiritual
inspirations were with them, and not
only the first ones, but also the last,
have given and will give testimony of
that inspiration, which reached their
spirit almost always in an unexplained
way, in a manner similar to that which
happens to many today and will
happen to many more tomorrow.
30. The words, interpretations, and
form of behaviour are credited to men
and the times in which they live, but
above everyone is the Supreme truth.
(16, 11 - 14)
31. From time to time, it becomes
necessary for My Spirit to manifest
itself in a form accessible and
comprehensible to your
understanding. That need to speak to
you comes from your disobedience to
My Law, from your distancing from
the true path.
32. Man is the most rebellious
creature in the creation because of his
free will. Until now, He has not
wanted to follow the dictates of his
conscience.
33. My word comes to stop some, to
guide others, and to strengthen all
with the truth, and save them from the
abyss.
34. Make no objection to the way in
which I now manifest Myself, so
different from that of the Second Era;
understand that I never use the same
form twice, since that would be to
maintain you before the same lesson,
and I come always to teach you new
lessons and help you take new steps.
(283, 39 - 42)
35. My Word is poured forth in
many forms; by means of the
conscience, by trials that speak of Me,
by the elements, or by My spiritual
children. My Word is universal. All
Chapter 23 - Inspirations and Revelations of God
225
who prepare shall hear My voice.
(264, 48)
The Need for Divine Revelations
36. My Divine teaching is not
destined only for the spirit, no, it must
come as well to the human heart so
that the spiritual as well as the
corporeal parts come to harmonize.
37. The Divine word is destined to
illuminate the understanding and
sensitize the heart of man, and the
essence that exists in that word is
destined to sustain and elevate the
spirit.
38. For the life of man to be
complete, He unquestionably needs
spiritual bread, just as He works and
struggles for material sustenance.
39. "Man does not live by bread
alone," I told you in the Second Era,
and My words are still true, for
humanity could never do without
spiritual sustenance, without being
overwhelmed on earth by illnesses,
pain, darkness, calamities, misery, and
death.
40. Materialists may say that
humanity is living solely from what
the earth and Nature offer, without
need to go looking for something
spiritual that sustains it or that
strengthens it along its journey; but I
must tell you, that life is neither
perfect nor complete, for it is an
existence that lacks what is essential,
which is spirituality. (326, 58 - 62)
41. In all times I have manifested
Myself to men in a simple form so
that you could understand Me. I have
always done so in a way within reach
of your understanding and your
hearts. I have descended to you to
give you thereby an example of
humility, coming to your humble life
to raise you to a better life. (226, 54)
42. This is the fulfillment of the
Word that I gave you in the Second
Era, when Jesus gave thanks to his
Father for having hidden his wisdom
from the wise and educated, and
having revealed it instead to the
humble.
43. Yes, My people, for those you
call wise puff themselves up and seek
to humiliate the humble, teaching
them only what they consider to be
the crumbs of knowledge that they
received from Me.
44. While the poor, the humble, who
do know the necessities that life
presents, and its privations, when they
come to possess something, feel that it
is too much for them, and share it
with others.
45. Now I add, that when the greedy
turn generous, and the arrogant
become humble, in that instant they
come to enjoy that which I reserve to
those who practice virtue, for My love
is not partial, it is universal, for all My
children. (250, 17)
The Divine Revelations without
Limits
46. That which has come to
illuminate the Third Era is not My last
teaching: the spiritual has no end; My
Law shines always like a Divine sun
in all consciences. Stagnancy and
Chapter 23 - Inspirations and Revelations of God
226
decadence are characteristic only of
humans, and are always the result of
vices, weaknesses, or uncontrolled
passions.
47. When humanity constructs its
life on spiritual foundations, and bears
within itself the ideal of eternity
inspired in it by My doctrine, it will
have found the road of progress and
perfection, and will never again leave
the path of its evolution. (112, 18)
48. You are greatly mistaken if you
believe that I waited until now to
inform you of the spiritual life. Once
again, I say to you that My Divine
teaching began when the first human
was born. It is not an exaggeration
when I tell you that My lessons began
with the formation of the spirits
before the world was created. (298,
18)
49. When humanity believed that
only what it could see with its eyes
existed, and did not know even the
shape of the world it lived in, it
conceived of a God limited to what its
eyes could see.
50. But, as humanity's mind
discovered Mystery after Mystery, the
Universe kept expanding before their
eyes, and the greatness and
omnipotence of God continued to
grow before the marveling
intelligence of man.
51. For that reason, in this time I
have had to bring you a teaching in
accordance with your evolution.
52. But, I ask you, is it material
science that My revelation
encompasses? No, the science that I
teach you speaks of an existence
beyond the Nature you have seen and
examined for so long. My revelation
uncovers the road that raises the spirit
to a dwelling place from where it can
discover, know, and understand all.
53. Does it seem impossible, or at
least strange to you, that God
communicates spiritually with men, or
that the Spiritual World
communicates with, and manifests
itself in your lives, and that the
unknown worlds and dwelling places
communicate with you? Would you
want your level knowledge to remain
stagnant and for the Father to never
reveal anything more than He already
has?
54. Do not be tied to your routine,
nor limit the learning of your spirit.
55. Today you may deny, struggle
against, and persecute My spiritual
Doctrine, but I know that tomorrow
you will yield to the truth.
56. All Divine revelation has been
fought against and denied when it
appeared, but in the end the light has
prevailed.
57. Humanity has also been skeptical
of the discoveries of science, but in
the end has had to yield to reality.
(275, 64 - 70)
58. When from the hearts of
humanity the temple of the Holy
Spirit is elevated to the Infinite, there
in its bosom will arise new
revelations, which will become
greater as the spirits ascend further.
(242, 62)
Chapter 23 - Inspirations and Revelations of God
227
59. How could you think that while
descending to you, I could have
neglected the other nations, given that
all are My children? Do you believe
that some are far from Me, or outside
Me, even though My Spirit is
universal and includes all that has
been created?
60. All lives and is sustained by Me;
it is for that reason that My universal
ray has descended upon the entire
globe and the spirit has received My
influence in this, and in other worlds,
for I have come to save all My
creatures. (176, 21)
61. My manifestation through the
spokesmen is intended by Me to be
temporary, a brief period of
preparation that will serve this people
as a standard, as law and principle, to
testify and spread this truth, and to
announce to the world the advent of
the Third Era.
62. Just as My manifestation through
human understanding was intended to
be as fleeting as lightning, so too was
it foreseen that some multitudes
would be called to witness and receive
this revelation.
63. In contrast, the communication
from spirit to Spirit shall reach all the
human species, without limitation of
time, for that means of seeking Me, of
receiving Me, of prayer, of listening
to and feeling Me, belongs to all
eternity. (284, 41 - 43)
The Manifestation of the Presence
of God in Man
64. I wish to convert you into My
disciples so that you learn to feel Me,
like the children of My Spirit that you
are. Why should you not feel My
presence inside yourselves, since you
are of My very essence, if you are part
of Me?
65. You do not feel Me, because you
are not conscious of it, because you
lack spirituality and preparation, and
such signs and sensations as you
receive you attribute to material
causes. That is why I tell you that
although I am with you, you do not
perceive My presence.
66. Now I ask you: Is it true that if
you are part of Me, it is natural for
you to feel Me within your being? Is it
true that meditating on this your spirit
comes to merge with Mine? I have
come to uncover for you the real
greatness that should exist in every
man, for you have confused
yourselves, and wishing to be great on
earth, have grown smaller spiritually.
(331, 25 - 26)
67. I do not wish to hear you say any
longer; "Lord, why are you far from
me? Why don't you hear me?" and
"Why do I feel alone on this journey?"
68. Beloved people: I never abandon
My children; it is you who distance
yourselves from Me because you have
lacked faith and because you have
rejected Me and closed to Me the
gates of your heart. (336, 60)
Chapter 23 - Inspirations and Revelations of God
228
69. I do not wish you to feel as
though I am far from you, for that
reason I have told you that all will feel
Me, all will touch Me, your spirit will
hear My voice, and spiritually, you
will behold My presence. This is how
I wish your spirits to be joined to
Mine throughout Eternity, for that is
My will. (342, 57)
My peace be with you !
229
VI. Creation
Chapter 24 - Spiritual and Material Creation
The Creation of Spiritual Beings
1. Before the worlds, before any
creature, or any matter came to life,
My Divine Spirit existed. However,
being ALL, I felt in Myself an
enormous emptiness, for I was like a
King without subjects, or a Master
without disciples, and for that reason I
conceived the idea of creating beings
in My likeness, to whom I would
dedicate all of My life, whom I would
love so deeply and intensely that
when the moment arrived, I would not
hesitate to offer them My blood on the
cross.
2. Do not be confused when I tell
you that before you existed, I loved
you already. Yes, My much loved
children. (345, 20 - 21)
3. The Divine Spirit was filled with
love in spite of the fact that none but
He existed. Nothing had been created.
Nothing surrounded the Divine Being,
and nonetheless, He loved and felt
Himself to be Father.
4. Whom did He love? Of whom did
He feel Father? Of all the beings, and
all the creatures that would spring
from Him, and whose strength was
latent in His Spirit. In that Spirit was
all science, all the elements, all
nature, and all principles. He was both
eternity, and time. In Him were the
past, the present, and the future, even
before the beginning of the lives of
worlds and beings.
5. That Divine inspiration was made
reality by the infinite force of Divine
love, and life began. (150, 76 - 79)
6. So that God could be called
Father, He brought forth from his
bosom spirits, creatures similar to
himself in Divine attributes, and that
was your beginning; in that way you
sprang into spiritual life. (345, 22)
7. Love was the reason for having
created you. I had a Divine yearning
to share My power with someone.
And love was also the reason for
having endowed you with free will. I
wanted to feel loved by My children,
not by law but through a spontaneous
feeling which would sprout freely
from your spirits. (31, 53)
8. Each spirit sprang from a pure
thought of the Divinity, and therefore
the spirits are perfect works of the
Creator. (236, 16)
The Role of Great Spirits in the
Creative Work
9. Elijah is the great spirit that is at
the right hand of God, and who in his
humility calls himself the servant of
God, and through whose conduit, and
through the conduits of other great
spirits, I move the spiritual Universe
and carry out great and elevated
designs. Yes, My disciples, in My
Chapter 24 - Spiritual and Material Creation
230
service I have a multitude of great
spirits that direct Creation. (345, 9)
The Providential Thoughts of God
10. Listen, disciples, before I created
you, I already existed, and your spirits
were a part of Me; however, I did not
want you to inherit My kingdom
without making yourselves deserving.
I did not want you to possess that
which was in existence without
knowing who had created you, nor did
I want you to proceed without
direction, without a destination, and
without an ideal.
11. That is why I gave you a
conscience to be your guide. I granted
you free will so that your deeds would
have true value before Me. I gave you
a spirit so that it would always yearn
to elevate itself toward that which is
bright and pure. I gave you a body, so
that through the heart you would be
sensitive to the good and beautiful,
and so that it would serve as a
crucible for constant testing, and as an
instrument to inhabit the material
world. (35, 48 - 49)
The Creation of Material Worlds
for The Spiritual Beings
12. When for the first time space
was illuminated with the presence of
spirits, these spirits, uttering their first
words and taking their first steps like
babes, and not having the elevation
nor the strength to sustain themselves
in highly evolved spiritual mansions,
felt the need for a support, a hold in
order to feel strong. They were given
a material form and a material world,
and in their new state, they proceeded
to acquire experience and knowledge.
(35, 50)
13. The Universe was filled with
beings, and in all the love, power, and
wisdom of the Father was manifest.
The bosom of the Lord has been like
an endless fountain of life since the
instant in which He deigned that
atoms might unite to form bodies and
integrate beings.
14. Spiritual life existed first; first
were the spirits, and then material
nature.
15. As it was decided that many
spiritual creatures would take
corporeal form to inhabit material
worlds, all was prepared in advance,
so that the children of the Lord would
find all in readiness.
16. He sowed the road his children
were to travel with blessings, flooded
the Universe with life, filled the road
of man with beauty and placed in him
a Divine beam of light: the conscience
and spirit, forming them in this way
from love, intelligence, strength, will,
and conscience. Yet, all that exists
was wrapped in his strength and
shown its destiny. (150, 80 - 84)
17. Thus, when the Father formed
the world, and gave it as its destiny to
be a place of atonement, He knew
already that his children would have
weaknesses and stumble on their
journey, that it would be necessary
that there be a dwelling where they
might take the first steps toward
regeneration and perfection. (250, 37)
Chapter 24 - Spiritual and Material Creation
231
The Creation of Human Beings
18. Listen: God, the Supreme Being,
created you "in His image and
likeness," not in the material form that
you have, but in the virtue with which
your spirit is endowed, similar to
those of the Father.
19. How pleasing it has been to your
vanity to believe yourselves the image
of your Creator. You believe
yourselves to be the most evolved
creatures created by God and you are
in grave error to assume that the
Universe was created only for you.
With how much ignorance you call
yourselves the kings of creation!
20. Understand that not even the
earth is created Only for men. In the
endless ladder of the Divine creation,
there exists an infinite number of
spirits who are evolving in fulfillment
of the Law of God.
21. The purpose contained in all this,
which as men you would be unable to
understand even if you wished to, are
great and perfect, as are all the
designs of the Father. Yet, truly I say,
you are neither the greatest nor the
smallest of the creatures of the Father.
22. You were created, and at that
instant your spirit took life from the
Almighty, bearing within it as many
attributes as were necessary to fulfill a
delicate mission within Eternity. (17,
24 - 28)
23. Within the spirit of man, which
is My masterpiece, I have placed My
Divine light, I have cultivated it with
infinite love, as a gardener cultivates
the favorite plant of his garden. I have
placed you in this mansion where
nothing will be lacking for your
livelihood, so that you will know Me
and know yourselves. I have given
you power in your spirit to feel the
life of the hereafter and senses in your
body so that you can enjoy and
perfect yourselves. I have given you
this world so that in it you will
commence to take your first steps, and
in this path of progress and perfection,
you can experience the perfection of
My Law, so that during your lifetime
you can recognize and love Me, and
through your merits you can reach
Me.
24. I have granted you the gift of
freedom of will, and I have endowed
you with a conscience. The first is for
your freedom to develop within My
laws, and the second to be able to
distinguish good from evil, so that it
will tell you like a perfect judge
whether you are complying or are at
fault with My Law.
25. The conscience is light of My
Divine Spirit which never leaves from
you at any moment.
26. I am the Way, the Truth and the
Life. I am peace and happiness, the
eternal promise that you will be with
Me and also the fulfillment of all My
words. (22, 7 - 10)
The Memory of Paradise
27. Those first men, they who were
the Fathers of humanity, preserved for
a time the impression that their spirits
brought from the spiritual valley, an
impression of blessedness, peace, and
delight that remained in them until the
Chapter 24 - Spiritual and Material Creation
232
rise in their lives of the passions of the
material form and the struggle to
subsist.
28. Yet, I should tell you, although
the spirit of those men did come from
a mansion of light, it was not from
one of the highest dwelling places:
those to which you may come only by
merit.
29. Nonetheless, the state of
innocence, peace, welfare and health
that those spirits preserved in their
first steps were like a time of light,
unforgettable, and of which testimony
was given to their children, and by
them to their descendants.
30. The materialist minds of men,
confusing the true meaning of that
testimony, came to believe that the
paradise in which the first men lived,
was an earthly paradise, not
understanding that it was the spiritual
state of those creatures. (287, 12 - 13)
The Nature of Human Beings
31. Spirit and matter are two distinct
natures, from which your being is
formed and above both is the
conscience. The first is the daughter
of the light, the second proceeds from
the earth, it is material. Both are in
unity within one being, and they
struggle between themselves guided
by the conscience, in which you have
the presence of God. This struggle up
to now has been constant but in the
end, spirit and matter will fulfill in
harmony the mission that My Law
indicates to each one.
32. You may also picture the spirit
as if it were a plant, and the body as
the earth. The spirit which has been
planted in the body, grows, it elevates
itself being sustained by the trials and
teachings which it receives throughout
its human existence. (21, 40 - 41)
The Unity of the Creator with
Creation
33. The Spirit of God is like an
infinite tree in which the branches are
the worlds and the leaves are the
beings. If the sap is the same that runs
through the trunk to all branches, and
from these to the leaves, do you not
believe that there is something eternal
and holy that unites you among
yourselves and merges you with the
Creator? (21, 38)
34. My Spirit, which is universal,
exists in all that I have created
whether that be of the spiritual or
material Nature. My Work is in all,
giving testimony of My perfection in
each of its planes.
35. My Divine Work embraces all,
from the greatest and most perfect
beings that dwell by My right, to the
most imperceptibly small animal, to
the vegetable and the mineral, and in
the atoms and cells that form all
creatures.
36. In this I show you yet again the
perfection of all created by Me, from
the material beings to the spirits that
have already achieved perfection: that
is My Work. (302, 39)
37. He who separates from the
spiritual Law, which is a superior
Law, falls under the domination of the
Chapter 24 - Spiritual and Material Creation
233
inferior or material laws, those of
which human beings also know very
little. But He who obeys and remains
in harmony with the supreme Law, is
above all rules that you call natural
and feels and understands more than
the one who only possesses
knowledge which He has found in
science or in the religions.
38. Consider why Jesus surprised
you with the deeds that you call
miracles, but recognize the lessons of
love that He gave you. Understand
that there is nothing supernatural or
contradictory within the Divine which
vibrates in all Creation. (24, 42 - 43)
My peace be with you !
234
235
Chapter 25 - Nature
The Laws of Nature
1. I have taught you to see God as
All, as the limitless marvel for your
mental conception, as the prime
mover of all movement and action in
the Universe, as life which manifests
itself as much in a simple plant, as in
those worlds that spin by the millions
in space without any of them
disobeying the law that govern them.
2. That Law is I, your God; it is the
Law of continual evolution at which
man marvels, giving him broad fields
for the research that permits him to
continue penetrating the secrets of
Nature. (359, 75)
3. Understand, that the Law is the
path devised by the love of the
Supreme Creator to guide each one of
His creatures. Meditate upon the life
that surrounds you, composed of an
infinite number of elements and
organisms, and you will end up
discovering that each body and each
being, proceed along a path or
trajectory guided by a force
apparently strange and Mysterious.
That force is the Law that God has
decreed to each one of His creatures.
4. On analyzing these teachings you
will conclude by understanding that
truly everything lives, moves and
grows under a Supreme mandate. (15,
4)
The Presence of God in Nature
5. Seek My presence in the works
carried out by Me, and at every step
you will find Me; try to hear Me, and
you will hear Me in the potent voice
that arises from all created, for I find
no difficulty in manifesting Myself
through the beings of Creation.
6. I manifest Myself in a star or in
the fury of a storm, as much as in the
sweet light of the dawn. I make My
voice heard in the melodious song of
a bird just as I express it in the aroma
of flowers; and every expression of
Mine, each phrase, each work, speaks
to you of love, of the fulfillment of
My laws of Justice and Wisdom, and
of the eternity of the spirit. (170, 64)
Nature is a Creation of God, and a
Parable for the Spiritual
7. Many have made of Nature their
God, exalting it as a Divine fountain
of all that exists. But in truth I say to
you that this Nature from whose
bosom have emerged all beings, the
forces and material elements which
surround you, is not herself creator, it
was conceived and created before by
the Divine Maker. It is not the cause
nor the reason for life. Only I, your
Father, am the Beginning and the End,
the Alpha and the Omega. (26, 26)
8. All that surrounds and envelopes
you in this life is an image of the
eternal life, a profound lesson
explained through material forms and
objects so that it may be understood.
9. You have not yet plumbed the
depths of this marvelous lesson, and
men have again erred, for they have
Chapter 25 - Nature
236
taken the life they live on earth as
though it were eternity. They have
been content to take from it its forms,
renouncing all that is contained in this
Divine revelation: the essence and
truth that is found in all creation.
(184, 31 - 32)
10. I do not come to deprive you of
anything that I have placed in Nature
for the protection, health, sustenance,
welfare, and joy of My children.
11. Rather, I tell you that just as I
offer the bread of the spirit and invite
you to breathe in and saturate yourself
with spiritual emanations, do not
ignore nor distance yourselves from
all that Nature offers you, for thereby
you achieve harmony, health, and
energy, and through them, the
complete fulfillment of the laws of
life. (210, 22)
12. The irrational beings are guided
by instinct, which is its interior voice,
its master, its guide; it is like a light
that proceeds from its mother Nature,
and that lights the path that it must
travel in life, a path that has also
struggles and risks.
13. From them take the harmony that
each species lives with. Imitate the
activity of those that are active. Take
their examples of fidelity or of
gratitude; they are examples that
contain Divine wisdom because they
are creatures of Mine, who have also
sprung from Me to surround and
accompany you in your world, and to
participate in what I have placed on
earth. (320, 34 - 35)
The Power of The Children of God
over Nature
14. The elements will obey you
when you comply with My Law and
when you ask it of Me for the benefit
of your brethren. (18, 47)
15. Have I not taught you that even
the unleashed elements can hear your
prayer and become calm? If those
elements obey My voice, why should
they not obey the voice of the children
of the Lord when they have become
prepared? (38, 10)
16. I have given the spirit power
over the material world so that it may
overcome the trials and come to its
destination; the struggle will be great,
however, for since man has
established on earth the only kingdom
in which He believes, He has broken
the harmony that ought to exist
between him and that which
surrounds him. From his proud throne
He has wanted to submit all things to
the power of his science, and impose
his will over the elements and natural
forces. But He has not accomplished
this because long ago He broke his
ties of friendship with the spiritual
laws.
17. Now, when I have told this
people that the elements may obey
them, there have been those who have
not believed; and I say that they have
had reason to doubt, for Nature will
never obey those who do not
recognize it, and who profane and
mock it. But He who knows how to
live in accord with the laws of the
Chapter 25 - Nature
237
spirit and matter, who lives in
harmony with all that surrounds him,
will identify himself with his Creator,
making himself worthy of being
served and obeyed by the elements, as
corresponds to all children who know
to obey their Father, the Creator of all
that exists. (105, 39)
18. I neither lie nor exaggerate when
I tell you that the elements can hear
your voice and respect and obey you.
19. The history of Israel was written
as a testimony to My truth, and in it
you can find that time and again the
people of God were recognized and
respected by the forces and elements
of Nature; why should you not be the
same?
20. By any chance, do you believe
that My power, or My love for
humanity has varied with the passage
of time? No, you multitudes that hear
this word, the light of My Spirit
bathes you, My power and My love
are eternal and unchanging. (353, 64)
Man and Nature
21. But you must take care, O
peoples of the earth, for if you
continue to make use of My Divine
lessons to provoke the elements, if
you apply the limited knowledge that
you have toward evil, you will receive
when you least expect it, the painful
and just response. You provoke the
wind, the fire, the earth, the water,
and all forces; you are well aware of
what your harvest will be if you do
not correct your activities in time, and
be able to stop the elements,
unleashed because of your
foolishness.
22. I warn you that you are reaching
the limit that My justice permits of
your free will, you are greatly
provoking Nature. And since you are
like children who feel themselves
superior, this word comes as a
warning of the danger in which you
find yourselves. (17, 60)
23. I told you that the leaf of the tree
did not move without My will, and
now I say to you that none of the
elements obey any other will but
Mine.
24. I also say to you that nature can
be to men what they wish it to be: a
mother endowed with blessings, with
caresses and nourishment, or an arid
desert where hunger and thirst reign.
It can be either a teacher of wise and
infinite revelations about life,
goodness, love, and eternity, or an
unyielding judge in the face of
profanation, disobedience, and the
errors of men.
25. Blessing them, I said to the first
men, be fruitful; multiply and fill the
earth. Conquer it, and rule over the
fish of the sea, the birds of the sky,
and over all creatures that move on
the face of the earth.
26. Yes, humanity, I created man so
that He would be master and would
have power over space, over waters,
over all the earth, and the elements of
creation. But behold, I have
emphasized the term master because
men, believing they rule the earth
with their science, are truly slaves;
Chapter 25 - Nature
238
believing they dominate the forces of
nature, become victims of their
recklessness, ignorance, and lack of
preparation.
27. Human power and science have
invaded the earth, the seas, and space,
but their power and force are not in
harmony with the power and force of
nature, which express God's Divine
love and are life, wisdom, harmony,
and perfection. Whereas, human
power, science, and their deeds are
only filled with pride, selfishness,
vanity and wickedness. (40, 26 - 30)
28. Do you see the unbalancing of
the elements of Nature and the
twisting they have suffered? Do you
realize how you are touched by the
unleashed forces? It is because you
have broken the harmony that exists
between the spiritual and material
lives, provoking thereby the chaos
into which you are sinking; but when
humanity is obedient to the laws that
govern life, all will return to peace,
abundance, and happiness. (108, 56)
29. How could your works on earth
be perfect when I see you hostile to
the very elements of Nature from
which you take life?
30. My Doctrine does not come to
prohibit that you use the elements and
forces of nature, but comes to regulate
and teach you to employ them for
worthy ends.
31. The elements of Nature in your
hands, can change, from friends and
brothers, to judges who punish you
severely.
32. It is time that men harvest the
fruit of experience in order to not
further provoke the force of the
elements, for with all their science
they will not be able to contain them.
(210, 43 - 46)
33. The Tree of Science shall be
shaken by the fury of the hurricane,
and its fruits shall fall upon mankind.
And who is it that has unchained the
elements if not man?
34. It is well that the first beings
knew pain in order to awaken them to
reality, to be born to the light of the
conscience, and conform themselves
to a Law, but why do the evolved,
conscious, and developed men of this
time dare to profane the Tree of Life?
(288, 28)
35. To those who think that I punish
men by unleashing the elements of
Nature upon them, I say that they
commit a grave error in thinking thus,
for nature evolves and is transformed,
and in its changes or transition
upheavals occur that produce
suffering to you when you do not
comply with the Law, though you
attribute it to Divine punishment.
36. Truly, within it is My justice, yet
if you, privileged beings containing a
spark of the Divine that illuminates
your spirit, lived in harmony with the
Nature that surrounds you, your spirits
would maintain you elevated above its
changes, above the force of the
elements, and you would not suffer.
(280, 16)
Chapter 25 - Nature

37. What is Nature, if not a large
creature? Yes, disciples, a creature
who also evolves, purifies, develops,
and perfects itself for the purpose of
sheltering the men of tomorrow in its
bosom
38. How many times have you
resented its natural transitions for
reaching that perfection and attribute
it to the punishments of God, not
realizing that together with Nature
and Creation, you purify, evolve, and
walk toward perfection. (283, 57 - 58)
My peace be with you !

Chapter 26 - Other Worlds
The Universal Light of Christ
1. In that Era I told you, "I am the
light of the world," for I spoke as a
man and because men did not know of
anything beyond their small world.
Now, in the Spirit I tell you: I am the
universal light, that which illuminates
the life of all worlds, heavens, and
dwellings, that illuminates and gives
light to all beings and creatures. (308,
4)
2. I am the Eternal Sower, even
before coming to the earth and being
called "Jesus" by men, I was the
Sower; already known by those who
were beyond the material, the
confusion or ignorance; those who
inhabit spiritual regions and dwellings
that you do not yet know and cannot
imagine.
3. From among those who knew Me
before I came to earth, I sent you
many to give testimony in the world
about Me, to announce the coming of
Christ, the Love and the Word of the
Father. Some of them were prophets,
others were forerunners, and still
others apostles.
4. This is not the only world that has
known My passage; wherever a
Redeemer has been necessary, there I
have been present.
5. Yet, I must tell you, that while in
other dwellings My cross and cup
were taken from me by the
regeneration and love of your
brothers, here in this world, even after
many centuries, you still have me
crowned with thorns and tormented
on the cross of your imperfections,
drinking always from the cup of gall
and vinegar.
6. As My Work of Love contains
redemption for all humanity, I await
you with infinite patience; I have
conceded not one, but many
opportunities to each being for his
elevation, and waited through many
eras the awakening of all who sleep in
profound lethargy. (211, 26 - 29)
7. On the Ladder of Perfection there
are many steps, in the spiritual vale
and in the limitless space there are
many worlds; and truly I tell you: I
have always communicated with all of
them, and My manifestation among
them has always been according to the
world they were in and their place on
the spiritual ladder. (219, 34)
8. While the human creatures argue
about My Divinity, My existence, and
My Doctrine, there are worlds where I
am loved perfectly.
9. At a moment when some [worlds]
have reached the greatest spiritual
cleanliness, your planet, morally and
spiritually, lives in a time of great
perversity. (217, 65 - 66)
The Spiritual Link between the
Worlds
10. My Divine light shines
throughout the universe; you will find
My presence wherever you seek me.
Chapter 26 - Other Worlds
242
11. I am the Divine Father who
works to bring harmony to all of his
children on earth and those who dwell
in other worlds.
12. Spiritual harmony among all
beings will reveal great knowledge; it
will provide you with spirit to Spirit
communication that will cut distances,
bring the absent close, and erase
borders and boundaries. (286, 1 - 3)
13. This humanity will make great
strides toward spiritualism, its spirits
can go far beyond human limits, and
come to the higher dwellings to
communicate with their brothers and
receive the light that they have to
offer.
14. They may also descend to the
planes where there dwell
underdeveloped beings of little
elevation in order to help them
overcome their poor condition and
achieve a higher level.
15. The ladder the spirit ascends to
its perfection is very great; on it you
will find beings of infinity of
gradations, and you will offer them
that which you possess, and they, in
turn, will give you something of their
spiritual riches.
16. Then, you will discover that this
is not the only world that struggles for
its improvement. You will learn that
on all the planets the spirit evolves,
that on all of them it palpitates and
grows, fulfilling it destiny; and I wish
you to prepare to make alliance with
all your brothers, that you
communicate with them with a holy
yearning to recognize, love, and help
each other.
17. Do this in My Name through
your thoughts, and within the strictest
obedience, and when you start this
exercise, you will begin to interpret
their petitions, and their teachings and
benefits.
18. I yearn for you that harmony
exist with your brothers on and
beyond this planet that is currently
your home; proffer ties of friendship,
ask for help when you need it, and
help those who ask for from what you
possess. (320, 44 - 46)
Learn to know other Worlds and
Ways of Life
19. Many times you have asked Me
what lies beyond this world, and
whether those heavenly bodies that
spin through space are worlds like
yours.
20. My answer to your curiosity has
not completely dispelled the veil of
Mystery because you do not yet have
the degree of evolution necessary to
understand, nor the spirituality
indispensable to harmonize with other
worlds.
21. You have not yet managed to
know or understand the teachings that
the planet you live on offers you, and
already you seek other worlds. You
have not been able to act as brothers
among yourselves, the inhabitants of a
single world, and you wish to
discover the existence of beings in
other dwellings.
22. For now it should suffice for you
to remember that in the Second Era I
Chapter 26 - Other Worlds
243
said to you: "In My Father's house are
many mansions," and now, ratifying
those words, I tell you that you are not
the only inhabitants of the Universe,
nor your planet the only one
inhabited.
23. To the generations of tomorrow
it shall be given to behold open the
gates that lead to other worlds, and
they shall have reason to marvel
before the Father.
24. Love and goodness, from which
charity and peace are derived, shall be
the keys that open the doors to the
Mystery, and so men make a step
toward universal harmony.
25. Today you are isolated, confined
and retained, because your selfishness
has made you live only for the world,
without ambitions for freedom and the
elevation of the spirit.
26. What will become of you, vain
men, diminished by your materialism,
if before ridding yourselves of your
human defects, you were allowed to
come to other worlds? What seeds
would you sow? Discord, insane
ambition, and vanity.
27. In truth I tell you, that to reach
that knowledge to which all man
aspires, and that revelation that will
remove from his mind the questions
that torture and intrigue him, man
must purify himself much, and much
will He have to pray and keep vigil.
28. It will not be science alone that
reveals My secrets, it is necessary that
that yearning to know be inspired by
spiritual love.
29. When the life of men has
reflections of spirituality, I tell you
they shall not even have to make an
effort to look beyond their world, for
at the same time they will be sought
out by those who inhabit the higher
dwelling places. (292, 3 - 5, and 7 -
11)
The Purpose of the Stars
30. In your Father's house there are
many dwellings, which are the infinite
steps of the ladder that leads to
perfection; from them the Spiritual
World descends to manifest itself
among you.
31. Many times you have asked Me,
spirit to Spirit, why there are so many
stars, and about the planets that shine
over your world, and you have asked:
"Master, are those worlds empty?"
32. I tell you, the time has not come
for Me to tell you outright; when men
have reached spirituality, then great
revelations will be given to them, and
they will be able to communicate with
those beings beloved by My Divinity,
spirit to spirit, and communication of
thoughts between all the brothers will
occur.
33. Still, from today forth, know
this: all of the worlds are inhabited by
My creatures, nothing is empty; all
are blessed gardens cared for by
Mary, the Divine Tenderness.
34. The Holy Spirit will return to
speak through your mouths of more
elevated lessons yet unknown to you
and to humanity. When, beloved
people? When there is spirituality in
you and consecration in your mission.
(312, 10 - 12)
Chapter 26 - Other Worlds
244
35. Look, people, contemplate the
sky, take a good look at it and you
will see that in every star is a promise,
a world that awaits you. They are
dwellings promised to the children of
God, which all of you will come to
inhabit; for all of you will know My
realm, which was not created only for
certain beings, but as a universal
home where all the children of the
Lord shall be gathered. (12, 24)
My peace be with you !
245
Chapter 27 - The Beyond
The Knowledge needed about
Spiritual Life
1. How ignorant of the spiritual
teachings I find this humanity, and it
is because it has been taught that My
Law and My Doctrine are only a
morality that will be of use as an aid,
and not as the path that will guide its
spirit toward the perfect mansion.
2. The different religions have come
sowing a false fear toward spiritual
knowledge within the heart of man,
which has caused them to flee from
My revelations and to be submerged
in the confusion of their ignorance,
arguing that the spiritual life is a
profound Mystery.
3. Those who affirm this are lying.
All the revelations that God made to
men since the beginning of mankind,
speak of the spiritual existence. It is
true that I had not revealed all My
teaching to you, because you were not
capable of knowing it all, until the
time arrived. But what the Father has
revealed up to now is enough for you
to have a complete knowledge of the
spiritual life. (25, 38 - 40)
4. The spiritual life that is yearned
for by many is feared, denied and
even mocked by others; but
impassive, it awaits everyone. It is a
bosom that shields you, arms that
embrace you, the homeland of the
spirit; it is a profound Mystery even
for the wise, but in My Arcanum you
can enter, as long as the key that you
use to open the door is that of love.
(80, 40)
"Heaven" and "Hell"
5. Men have imagined hell as a place
of eternal torture, where they believe
that all those who have disobeyed My
mandates will go. And in the same
way they have created a hell for great
faults, they have imagined another
place for lesser faults, as well as one
more for those who have done neither
right nor wrong.
6. Those who say that in the
Hereafter there is neither rejoicing nor
suffering, are not telling the truth; no
one is without suffering, nor exempt
from rejoicing. Afflictions and joys
will always be mixed as long as the
spirit does not attain the supreme
peace.
7. Listen, O My people: Hell is
within the incarnated and discarnated,
in dwellers of this world and the
spiritual realm; hell is a symbol of
great pain, of terrible remorse, of
desperation, of suffering and
bitterness of those who have sinned
greatly, and from those consequences
they will be liberated according to the
evolution of their spirit towards love.
8. Glory, on the other hand, which
symbolizes happiness and true peace,
is for those who have withdrawn from
earthly passions, in order to live in
communion with God.
9. Question your conscience and you
will know if you are living in hell, if
you are atoning for your faults, or if
Chapter 27 - The Beyond
246
you are vibrating with the peace of
glory.
10. What men call glory or hell, are
not predetermined places; it is the
essence of your deeds which your
spirit gathers when it reaches the
spiritual realm. Each one lives his
hell, inhabits his world of atonement,
or enjoys the happiness which the
elevation and harmony with the
Divine Spirit offers. (11, 51 - 56)
11. Just as man on earth can create a
spiritual peace for himself similar to
the peace of My Kingdom, He can
also, with his perversity, surround
himself with an existence like a hell,
made of vice, evil, and remorse.
12. In the hereafter, the spirit can
also find worlds of darkness, of
perversity, of hatred and vengeance,
according to the spirit's degree of
confusion, low passions, and desires.
But truly I say to you that the heaven
as well as the hell, which men
visualize only through earthly figures
and images, are no more than
different stages of the spirit's
evolution; one stage is the highest
level of perfection achieved by a spirit
through its evolution and virtue, and
the other is a stage where the spirit
lives in an abyss of darkness, vices,
and confusion.
13. To the virtuous spirit, it makes
no difference where it finds itself, for
wherever it may be, it will carry
within the peace and the love of the
Creator. On the other hand, the
impure and disturbed spirit can find
itself in the best of worlds but will
continue to feel itself burning with
remorse until it becomes purified.
14. Do you believe that I, your
Father, have created places
specifically for the purpose of
punishing you and thus eternally
avenging your offenses ?
15. How foolish are the men who
continue to teach those theories!
16. How is it possible for you to
believe that eternal darkness and pain
are the destiny awaiting spirits which,
though having sinned, will always be
children of God? If they need be
taught, here is the Teacher; if they
need love, here is the Father; if they
yearn for forgiveness, here is the
perfect Judge.
17. The one who never seeks me,
correcting his faults, will be unable to
reach me. But no one will be able to
resist My justice nor My trials; you
can only reach me when you are pure.
(52, 31 - 37)
18. Among so many mansions
within the house of the Father there
does not exist a single world of
darkness. His light is in all of them;
however if the spirits penetrate into
them with a veil over their eyes, due
to ignorance, how can they be able to
behold that splendor?
19. If you ask a blind person here in
the world what He sees, He will
answer, only darkness. It is not that
the sunlight does not exist, rather that
He is not able to see it. (82, 12 - 13)
20. I say to you during this period:
Do not accept the idea of “hell” that
Chapter 27 - The Beyond
247
humanity has accepted. There is no
more hell in this world, other than the
life that man has created with his wars
and hatred. And in the spiritual valley,
there is no fire other than the great
remorse that the spirit feels when its
conscience shows it its errors. (182,
45)
21. Those who in their religious
fanaticism only await the punishment
of hell in the Beyond, while holding
that belief are themselves forging
their own hell, for the confusion of the
spirit is similar to that of the human
mind, but more powerful.
22. You ask: Master, is there
salvation for them? I tell you, there is
salvation for every one, but peace and
light will come to that spirit when the
darkness of the disturbance has gone.
23. Have you ever felt pity for
someone whose mental illness makes
him see things that do not exist? How
much greater would be your sorrow
upon seeing those disturbed beings in
the Beyond as they look into their
imaginary hell. (227, 71)
24. Do not tremble before these
revelations; on the contrary, enjoy
thinking that this word comes to
destroy the concept of eternal
punishment that you have had, and all
the interpretations that you have been
given of eternal fire in the past.
25. Fire is the symbol of pain: of the
regrets and repentance that torment
the spirit, purifying it as gold is
purified in the crucible. In that pain is
My will, and in My will is love for
you.
26. If it were true that fire was what
punished human sin, then the bodies
of all who have sinned would have to
be thrown into the fire here on earth,
while alive. The dead would not feel
it, because their bodies never ascend
to the spiritual space, rather, when
their mission is concluded they return
to the bowels of the earth, where they
merge with Nature, from which they
took life.
27. But if you believe what you call
"eternal fire" is not for the body, but
for the spirit, that too is a serious
mistake, for in the spiritual realm
there are no material elements, nor
does fire act upon the spirit. What is
born of matter, is matter; what is born
of the spirit, is spirit.
28. My word does not descend to
attack any belief. If someone believes
such, they are gravely in error. My
word comes to explain the content of
all that which has not been duly
interpreted, and which therefore has
produced confusions that have been
transmitted from generation to
generation among humanity.
29. What worth would My Law and
My Doctrine have if they were not
able to save spirits from error and sin?
And what purpose would My coming
as a man to the world have had if
there were to be many who would be
lost forever in endless atonement?
(353, 44 - 48)
30. Some are motivated to do good
works because they are fearful that
Chapter 27 - The Beyond
248
death might surprise them having no
merit to present to the Lord. Others
leave off evil only from fear of dying
in sin and having to withstand after
this life the eternal torment of hell.
31. How deformed and imperfect is
that God, in the form that so many
imagine: how unjust, monstrous, and
cruel. Together, all the sins and
crimes that men have committed
could not compare with the perversity
of the punishment in hell for all
eternity to which, according to them,
God condemns his children who sin.
Have I not explained to you that the
greatest attribute of God is love? Do
you not believe then, that eternal
torment would be the absolute
negation of the Divine attribute of
eternal love? (164, 33 - 34)
32. You believe that heaven is a
region in the infinite, and that you can
get there by means of a sincere
repentance of your faults at the hour
of your material death, being
confident that you will be pardoned at
that instant, and carried by Me to the
Kingdom of Heaven. That is what you
believe.
33. But I tell you that heaven is not a
place, nor a region, nor even a
mansion; heaven is your elevation and
perfection: it is your state of purity. In
whom does it lie to permit you to
enter heaven? In Me, who has always
been calling you, or in you, who have
always been so slow?
34. Cease limiting the infinite, the
Divine. Do you not understand that if
heaven were as you believe, a
mansion, a particular place, then it
would not be infinite? It is time that
you conceive of the spiritual in a more
elevated way, so that although your
idea may not encompass all the
reality, it will at least come close.
(146, 68 - 69)
The "Music" of Heaven
35. You may have heard that in
heaven the angels listen eternally to
the Divine concert. If you consider
that symbolic sense, be careful to not
believe that in glory they listen to
music similar to that you are used to
on earth; who believes thusly has
fallen into a complete error of
materialism; but He who on hearing
of the music of heaven and the joy of
the angels hearing it, thinks of the
harmony with God in the Divine
concert, will have arrived at the truth.
36. How can it be that there are some
who do not understand this, when in
your spirit you bear a note of the
universal concert? How can it be that
hearing this word there are those who
do not understand it, who do not feel
it, or who interpret it badly?
37. Oh, beloved children, seek the
light in prayer, for you are fragile in
your understanding. Ask Me in your
meditations, for no matter how big
your questions, from the infinite I
shall know how to answer them. At
the same time, I too will question you,
so that between the Master and the
disciples the light of truth may arise.
38. The celestial music is the
presence of God in you, and in the
middle of that concert, your note shall
Chapter 27 - The Beyond
249
vibrate when you have achieved true
elevation, which is spiritual beauty.
That is the celestial music and the
singing of the angels. When you know
and feel like that, the truth shall shine
in your being and you shall feel that
God is in you. Life shall offer you an
eternal and Divine concert, and in
every one of its notes, you shall
discover a revelation.
39. As yet, you have not heard in
their perfect harmony the beautiful
notes that are at times sweet, and
other times vibrant. If you do
somehow perceive them, they will
seem to you like vague notes you
cannot manage to bring together, and
you will not be able to fully realize
the beauty they contain. It is
necessary to go beyond the senses,
beyond the passions and the shadows
of materialism in order to hear the
concert of God in your spirit. (199, 53
- 56)
In My Father's House there are
Many Mansions (Dwellings)
40. My Work will continue to grow
more and more until finally all spirits
are unified in the fulfillment of My
Law and this dwelling is converted to
a world of perfection. Those who
inhabit it in that time will feel My
love palpitate in all creation, and will
continue preparing to inhabit a better
world. This dwelling shall be
temporary for your spirit; it will go to
other regions, to other planes of the
Beyond, in search of its perfection.
41. Remember that I told you: "In
My Father's house are many
mansions." In this time of greater
evolution, in which you understand
My teachings better, I have come to
tell you: "In the house of the Father
there are an infinity of mansions." Do
not think, therefore, that upon leaving
this world you will achieve the
maximum level of spiritual elevation.
No, disciples, when your time on this
planet ends I will lead you to other
dwellings, and in this way I will guide
you eternally upon the infinite ladder
of your perfection. Trust in Me, love
Me, and you shall be saved. (317, 30)
42. It is impossible that from this
world you try to imagine what My
Kingdom, Heaven or Glory are, or
how they are. It suffices for you to
know that it is a state of perfection of
the spirit, from where it sees, feels
and understands the marvelous life of
the spirit, which you cannot
understand or conceive now.
43. I say to you that even the spirits
who inhabit higher levels than those
where you live, do not know the
reality of that existence. Do you know
what it is to live within the bosom of
the Father? When you dwell there,
then you will be able to know it. Only
a vague presentiment, a slight
intuition of that Mystery, will briefly
cross through your heart as an
incentive along your path of
evolution. (76, 28 - 29)
My peace be with you !
250
251
VII. The evolutionary Road to Perfection
Chapter 28 - Death, Dying, and Awakening in The Beyond
The Immortality of the Spirit
1. This is the Era in which humanity
awakens to the beauties of the spirit,
in which it becomes interested in the
eternal, and asks itself: "What will the
life that awaits us after death be like?"
2. Who, howsoever unbelieving, has
not asked if something exists within
himself that will survive the material
form? Truly I tell you, there are none
who do not sense that Mystery or
meditate in some moment on the
unfathomable.
3. Concerning the spiritual life that
seems so far and is in reality before
your very eyes, some ask, others
confuse themselves, and others deny;
some speak, believing they know
everything, while others stay silent
and wait. Yet so few there are who
really know something of the Beyond.
4. In the Third Era I have left the
tomb of the forgotten in which
humanity has held me, in order to
resurrect humanity, for I am life. No
one can die; even the one who takes
his life by his own hand will hear his
conscience asking him to account for
his lack of faith. (52, 63)
5. My doctrine is not only for giving
you strength and tranquility during
your passage on earth, it is to teach
you to leave this world, to pass the
thresholds of the Beyond, and enter
the eternal mansion.
6. All religions comfort the spirit in
its passing through this world, but
how little they reveal and prepare you
for the journey to the Beyond. That is
why many look at death as an ending,
not knowing that it is from there that
you can see the infinite horizon of
true life. (261, 52 - 3)
7. Death is only a symbol. Death
exists for those who do not achieve
knowledge of the truth; for them death
continues as a spectre behind which is
either Mystery, or nothing. It is to you
that I say: Open your eyes and
understand that you also will not die;
you will be separated from the
material, but that does not mean that
you will die. You, like your Master,
have eternal life. (213, 5)
Preparation for the Parting from
this World
8. You must understand that you,
gifted with a spirit, are the Father's
most beloved work in his Creation,
for in you He deposited essence,
attributes, and immortality.
9. Death does not exist for the spirit,
not death as you know it, the ceasing
of existence. The death of the body
cannot be death or an ending for the
spirit. It is precisely when the vessel
closes its eyes to this world forever
that the spirit opens its eyes to a
higher life; it is only an instant of
Chapter 28 - Death, Dying, and Awakening in The Beyond
252
transition on the path that leads to
perfection.
10. If you have not yet understood it
this way, it is because you still love
this world much and you feel closely
tied to it. It worries you to abandon
this dwelling because you feel that
you are the owners of what you
possess in it, and there are also those
who have a vague foreboding of My
Divine justice, and fear to enter the
spiritual vale.
11. Humanity has loved this world
too much; too much, because its love
has been badly directed. How many
have succumbed in it because of that!
How greatly the spirits have become
materialized for that same reason.
12. Only when you have felt death's
footsteps near you, when you have
been gravely ill and suffering, when
you think that you are only a step
from the Beyond: from that justice
that you fear, only in those straits, do
you make promises and pledges to the
Father to love, serve, and obey him on
earth. (146, 46 - 49)
13. Men have loved this life so much
that when the time comes to depart
from earth, they rebel against My will
and ignore that I am calling them.
They reject the peace of My Kingdom
and ask the Father for more time on
earth in order to continue possessing
their temporary riches.
14. Learn to be sensitive so that you
will intuitively become aware of the
spiritual life; do not be satisfied with
your life on earth which marks the
beginning of your spiritual evolution
because beyond this world there are
superior creations.
15. Do not try to reject death when it
comes near to you because of My
Will. Also, you should not seek the
man of science attempting to
miraculously prolong your existence,
thus opposing My will, for you will
both weep bitterly over that error.
Prepare yourself in this life, and you
will have no reason to fear your entry
into the Beyond. (52, 55 - 57)
16. While you are on earth, you
should love the things of this world
only to the degree that it will help you
to fulfill its laws. But you should
always be inspired to come to dwell in
the elevated spiritual mansions so that
when your spirit separates from its
material body it will not be confused
nor tempted by those things that it
loved on earth; if it yields, it will
become a slave to them and remain in
this world, to which it no longer
belongs nor can enjoy. (284, 5)
17. Be merciful with yourselves. No
one knows when the moment will
come in which his spirit will separate
from the flesh. No one knows if on
the next day his eyes will open to the
light. Everyone belongs to the Lord of
all Creation, and you do not know
when you will be called.
18. Remember that not even the
hairs on your head belong to you, not
even the ground that you tread upon;
that you yourselves do not belong to
you, that you do not need to have
possessions of short duration, since
Chapter 28 - Death, Dying, and Awakening in The Beyond
253
"your Kingdom" is also "not of this
world."
19. Spiritualize yourselves and you
will possess everything within
fairness and in measure according to
your needs, and when the moment of
your renunciation of this life arrives,
you will elevate yourselves full of
light to take possession of what
belongs to you in the Beyond. (5, 95 -
97)
The Passage to another World
20. At every moment My voice calls
you toward the righteous path where
peace exists, but your deaf ear has
only an instant of sensitivity before
that voice. That moment is the last
one of your life, when agony gives
you notice of the near death of the
body. Then is when you want to begin
your life to correct your faults, to
calm down your spirit before the
judgment of your conscience and be
able to offer something worthy and
meritorious to the Father. (64, 60)
21. If you seek immortality of the
spirit, do not fear the arrival of the
death that puts an end to human life,
await it prepared. It is under My
command, and is therefore always just
and opportune, though men often
believe otherwise.
22. The seriousness is not in that
men die, it is in the spirit lacking light
upon leaving the material, and being
unable to see the truth. I do not wish
the death of the sinner, but his
conversion; however, when death
becomes necessary either to liberate a
spirit, or to stop a fall of a man into
the abyss, My Divine justice cuts the
thread of that human existence. (102,
49 - 50)
23. Be aware that in the book of your
destiny I have designated the day and
the hour when the doors of the
hereafter will open allowing your
spirit to enter. Once you have entered,
you will see all of your work on earth
and all of your past. You should not
want, at that time, to hear voices of
complaints and accusations against
you nor those, who point to you as
responsible for their troubles. (53, 49)
24. Do not halt, thinking that you
will never arrive just because the road
appears long. Keep moving forward,
for a moment you lose your spirit will
regret later. Who told you that the
objective is in this world? Who has
taught you that death is the end, and
that you can reach My Kingdom at
that moment?
25. Death is like a brief dream, after
which, restored in strength, the spirit
awakens to the caress of My light, as
to the beginning of a new day for
itself.
26. Death is the key that opens the
gates of the prison that you find
yourselves in by being adhered to the
material, and is at the same time the
key that opens the doors to eternity.
27. This planet, converted by human
imperfections into a vale of
atonement, has been a place of
captivity and exile for the spirit.
Chapter 28 - Death, Dying, and Awakening in The Beyond
254
28. Truly, I tell you, that life on earth
is one step more on the ladder of life.
Why do you not understand it in this
way in order to take advantage of all
your lessons? That is the reason why
many must return to it, again and
again, because they did not
understand nor make use of their
previous life. (167, 22 - 26)
29. It is necessary that you know that
because the spirit is to be subjected to
a long and sometimes difficult test, it
had a vast preparation before being
made flesh. However, thanks to that
preparation it is not disturbed by
entering into this life; it closes its eyes
to the past to open them to a new
existence, and in this way from the
first instant adapts to the world to
which it has arrived.
30. How different indeed is the form
in which your spirit presents itself
before the threshold of the spiritual
life or when it has recently left its
body and its world. As it has lacked
real preparation for returning to its
home, it feels disturbed, the
sensations of the material still
dominate, and it does not know where
to go or what to do.
31. This is because it did not learn
that it is also necessary to know how
to close the eyes to this world in the
last instant; for it is only in this way
that it can open them to the spiritual
world that it had left before, where all
its past awaited to be reunited with its
new experience, and add its new
merits to all its previous ones.
32. As He recovers the light, a dense
veil clouds his mind: the tenacious
influence of all He has left behind
inhibits to feel the vibration of his
conscience as the shadows fade
allowing him to reintegrate himself to
his true essence. There is much
confusion, and much pain.
33. Will there be any, who upon
hearing or reading this message reject
it as useless or false lessons? I tell you
that only He who is found in an
extreme grade of materialism or blind
fanaticism could reject this light
without his spirit being moved. (257,
20 - 22)
"Eternal Rest"
34. Spiritual rest as it is understood
and conceived of by your material
world, does not exist; the rest
awaiting the spirit is activity,
multiplication of oneself through
doing good, while not loosing an
instant. That is when the spirit rests,
its regrets and sorrows are lightened,
it enjoys itself by doing good, and
rests loving its Creator and its
brothers.
35. Truly I tell you, if the spirit were
made to remain inactive to rest, in the
way that you think of it on earth, the
darkness of depression and anguish
would overcome it, for the life and
light of the spirit, as well as its
greatest happiness, are work, struggle,
and unceasing activity.
36. The spirit that returns from the
earth to the spiritual valley, bearing
imprinted on it the fatigue of the flesh,
and seeks the Beyond as a bed to rest
Chapter 28 - Death, Dying, and Awakening in The Beyond
255
in, where it can sink into oblivion in
order to wipe away the scars of the
struggle, must come to feel itself most
unfortunate, and will not encounter
either peace or happiness until it
awakes from its lethargy, recovers
from its error, and rises to the spiritual
life, which is as I have already
described: love, work, and continual
struggle on the path that leads to
perfection. (317, 12 - 14)
Reencounters in the Beyond
37. I want you to be men of faith,
who believe in the spiritual life; if you
have seen your brethren depart toward
the hereafter, do not feel them distant,
nor believe that you have lost them
forever. If you wish to be reunited
with them, be active, do good, and
when you reach the hereafter, there
you will find them waiting to teach
you to live in that spiritual realm. (9,
20)
38. Who has not felt uneasiness
about the life of the Hereafter? Who
among those who have lost their dear
ones in this world has not felt an
eagerness to see them again or at least
know where they are? You will know
all of this; you will see them again.
39. But you should earn merits now,
because it might be that when you
leave this earth, you will ask in the
Spiritual Realm where are those
whom you expect to find, and you
will be told that you cannot see them
because they are in a higher level; do
not forget that a long time ago I told
you that in the house of the Father
there are many mansions. (61, 31)
The Judgment of the Spirit by its
own Conscience
40. When the spirit of some great
sinner departs from this material life
to enter the spiritual valley, it is
surprised to discover that hell, as it
had once imagined, does not exist;
and the fire, of which it was
previously told, is nothing more than
the essence of its works harshly
judged by its conscience.
41. That eternal judgment and
enlightenment which exists in the
midst of the darkness that surround
the sinner, will be more painful than
the strongest fire you could have
imagined. But it is not a torture
prepared beforehand as a punishment
for the one who offended me. No, this
torture originates when one begins to
understand his own mistakes, when
the spirit begins to feel great sorrow
for having offended the One who
created him and for not having made
better use of its time and of the many
gifts it received from its Lord.
42. Do you believe that I should
punish those who by their sins offend
Me, when I know that the sin offends
more He who commits it? Do you not
see that who the sinner does evil to, is
himself? And that I will not increase
the misfortune He has worked upon
himself by punishing him? I merely
allow them to see themselves and hear
the inexorable voice of their
consciences interrogating and
answering them, to recover the
spiritual memory that in the material
form they had lost, and to remember
Chapter 28 - Death, Dying, and Awakening in The Beyond
256
their beginnings, their destiny, and
their promises. There, in that
judgment, they will feel the effects of
the fire that exterminates their evil
and that recasts them like gold in a
crucible, separating them from that
which is harmful or superfluous, and
all that is not spiritual.
43. When a spirit stops to listen to
the voice and judgment of its
conscience, verily I say to you that at
that moment it finds itself in My
presence.
44 That moment of rest, of serenity,
and of clarity does not come to all
spirits at the same time; some readily
enter into that self - examination and
in so doing avoid much grief; for
while they awaken to reality and
recognize their errors, they prepare
themselves and are ready to repair
even the last of their bad deeds.
45. While others, blinded, be it by
vice, by some resentment, or for
having lived an existence of sin, delay
coming out of their blindness.
46. Others, more dissatisfied,
believing they have been torn from
the earth before time, when all smiles
upon them, curse and blaspheme,
delaying their ability to free
themselves from confusion, and like
these, there are a great number of
cases that know only My wisdom.
(36, 47 - 51)
47. You shall have to answer for all,
and the more evil your works, the
more energetic the judgment you shall
receive from yourself; for I do not
judge you, that is false, it is your own
spirit in its lucid state that serves as
both your fearful prosecutor and your
terrible judge. It is I who defend you
against the confusion, and who
absolve and save you, because I am
the Love that purifies and pardons.
48. Think that very soon you will be
in spirit, and that which on this earth
you have sown, will also be what you
reap. The passing from this life to the
other does not fail to be a strict and
severe judgment for the spirit. None
escape that judgment, even He who
considers himself the worthiest of
servants.
49. My Will is that from the moment
you enter that infinite dwelling place
you cease to feel the anguishes of the
earth, and begin to feel the sweetness
and pleasure of having climbed
another step on the path. (99, 49 - 50)
50. The Final Judgment, as
interpreted by Humanity, is an error;
My judgment will not be of an hour
nor a day, it has weighed on you for
some time.
51. However, I tell you truly that the
bodies of the deceased, are dead, and
have returned to integrate themselves
in their own nature, for what is of the
earth, shall return to the earth, just as
the spiritual shall seek its dwelling
place, which is in My bosom.
52. Yet, I tell you also, that in your
judgment you will be your own
judges, for your conscience,
knowledge, and intuition will tell you
to what point you are worthy and
which spiritual dwelling you should
inhabit. You will see clearly the road
that you must take, for upon receiving
the light of My Divinity, you shall
Chapter 28 - Death, Dying, and Awakening in The Beyond
257
recognize your acts, and judge your
own merits.
53. In the spiritual valley there are
many confused and disturbed beings;
bear My message and light to them
when you enter there.
54. You can practice that form of
charity, starting now, by means of the
prayer with which you can establish
communication with them. Your
voice will resonate in the place where
they reside, and will make them
awaken from their deep slumber. It
will make them weep and cleanse
themselves with their tears of
repentance. In that instant they will
have received a ray of light, for in that
moment they will understand their
past vanities, their errors, and their
sins.
55. How great is the pain of the spirit
when the conscience awakens it! How
it then humbles itself under the gaze
of its Supreme Judge! How humbly
then spring from the intimate depths
of its being, petitions for forgiveness,
promises, and blessings of My Name!
56. There the spirit recognizes that it
cannot approach the perfection of the
Father, and directing its gaze to the
earth, where it did not know how to
make use of its time and the
opportunity for it to come closer to its
goal, asks for another period of flesh
to atone for its faults and complete
unfulfilled missions.
57. Who then performed justice?
Was it not the spirit itself that
formulated the judgment?
58. My Spirit is a mirror in which
you must look at yourselves, and
which will tell you the state of purity
you maintain. (240, 41 - 46)
59. When your spirit leaves its
human shell, and in the sanctuary of
the spiritual life recollects in its inner
depths to examine its past and the
results of it, many of its acts that here
in the world had seemed perfect to it,
worthy of being presented to the Lord
and deserving of some reward, seem
small in the instant of that meditation;
the spirit will understand that the
meaning of many acts that in the
world seemed good to it, were mere
traces of vanity, of false love, of a
charity not felt by the heart.
60. Who do you believe has given to
the spirit the enlightenment of a
perfect judge in order to judge itself?
The conscience, which at that hour of
justice will seem to glow with a
clarity never seen before, will be who
tells each one which from its works
on earth was good, just, real, and true,
as well as what was evil, false, or
impure that it sowed along the way.
61. The sanctuary of which I have
just told you is that of the conscience:
that temple that none may profane, the
temple in which God dwells, and from
which his voice and his light issue.
62. In the world you have never
known how to enter that inner
sanctuary, for your human personality
always seeks the way to evade that
wise voice that speaks inside each
man.
63. I tell you that when your spirit
puts aside its shell, it will finally be
able to stop before the portal of that
sanctuary to prepare itself to enter;
Chapter 28 - Death, Dying, and Awakening in The Beyond
258
and before that altar of the spirit,
prostrate itself, listen to itself,
examine its works in the light that
comes from the conscience; and hear
speaking within itself the voice of
God, as Father, as Master, and as
Judge.
64. No mortal can imagine, in its full
solemnity, that moment through
which each must pass in order to
know what good you bear within, and
how to conserve it, and that which
you must reject because it cannot be
carried any more within the spirit.
65. When the spirit feels itself to be
in front of its conscience and the
conscience makes itself present with
the clarity of truth, that being feels
without the strength to hear itself; it
wished it had never existed, because
in an instant all its life passes before
its eyes: what it left behind, what it
possessed and what belonged to it,
and that for which it must now finally
account.
66. Disciples, humanity: Prepare
yourselves in this life for that instant,
so that when your spirit presents itself
at the threshold of the temple of the
conscience, you do not make of that
temple a courtroom, for the spiritual
pain would be so great that there is no
physical pain comparable.
67. I wish you to meditate on what I
have said to you in this teaching, so
that you understand how your
judgment is carried out in the spiritual
realm. In this way you will vanquish
the image that exists in your
imagination of a courtroom presided
over by God in the form of an old
man, placing on his right his good
children, so that they may enjoy
heaven, and to his left the bad ones so
that they may be condemned to
eternal punishment.
68. It is time already that the light
comes to the highest part of your
spirit and your understanding so that
the truth may shine in each man and
He be prepared to enter the spiritual
life with dignity. (334, 5 - 11 and 14 -
15)
The Spiritual Conscience
Recovered
69. There is nothing in My Creation
like bodily death to show each spirit
the height it reached during its life,
nor anything like My Word for
ascending to perfection. There you
have the reason why My Law and
Doctrine insist time and again in
penetrating the hearts, and why the
pain and the vicissitudes come
counseling men to flee from the paths
that, instead of raising them up, lead
the spirit to the abyss.
70. How fortunate your spirit will
feel in the Beyond if your conscience
tells you that on earth you sowed the
seed of love. All the past will make
itself present before your eyes and
every image of your works will give
you infinite pleasure.
71. The precepts of My Law, which
your memory has not always known
how to retain, will also pass through
your spirit, full of clarity and light.
Earn merits that will permit you to
penetrate the unknown with your eyes
open to truth.
Chapter 28 - Death, Dying, and Awakening in The Beyond
259
72. There are many Mysteries that
men have tried in vain to explain.
Neither human intuition nor human
science have been able to satisfy
many of the questions asked by men,
and the reason is that there is
knowledge that is reserved only to the
spirit that has penetrated to the vale of
spirits. Those surprises that await it,
those wonders, those revelations, shall
be part of its prize, yet, truly I tell
you, if a spirit comes to the spiritual
world with a blindfold over its eyes, it
will see nothing and continue to see
before it only Mysteries where all
should be clarity.
73. This celestial doctrine that I
bring you reveals many beauties, and
prepares you so that when you present
yourself in spirit before the justice of
the Eternal, you know how to
confront the marvelous reality that
will surround you from that instant.
(85, 42 and 63 - 66)
74. Receive My light so that it
illuminates the road of your existence
and in the hour of your death frees
you from confusion; and in an instant,
as soon as you pass the portals of the
Beyond, you will know who you are,
who you have been, and who you will
be. (100, 60)
75. While your bodies, which even
after death continue to give nutriment
and life, sink into the earth into whose
bosom they will be integrated to
increase its fruitfulness, your
conscience, which is over your being,
shall not remain in the earth, but shall
accompany the spirit and be shown to
it like a book whose profound and
wise lessons are to be studied by it.
76. There your spiritual eyes shall
open to the truth, and in an instant,
you will know how to interpret that
which, in an entire life, you did not
manage to understand. Then is when
you will understand what it means to
be a "child of God and brother to your
fellow men." That is when you will
understand the value of all that you
have possessed, and feel sorrow and
repentance for the errors made, for the
time lost, and the most beautiful
purposes of reform and reparation will
be born in you.
77. From now on, you all travel
toward the same end, reconciling and
harmonizing your spiritual lives. Let
none believe that they travel a better
path than their brother, nor that they
are on a higher rung of the ladder than
others. I tell you, at the supreme hour
of death, it shall be My voice that tells
you the truth concerning your
elevation.
78. There, in that brief moment of
illumination before the conscience is
where many receive their reward, but
also where many see their greatness
fade away.
79. Do you desire to save
yourselves? Come to Me on the road
of brotherliness, it is the only one,
there is no other, it is the one marked
by the maxim: "Love one another."
(299, 40 - 42)
My peace be with you !
Chapter 28 - Death, Dying, and Awakening in The Beyond

Chapter 29 - Purification and Ascension of the Spirits in The Beyond
Remorse, Repentance, and Self
Incrimination
1. I do not wish that your spirit be
stained, nor that you die to the true
life, that is why I touch you with My
justice when I find you indulging in
unhealthy enjoyments and pleasures.
Your spirit must arrive clean to My
bosom, the way it was when it left it.
2. All who leave a body in the
bowels of the earth and leave this
world in a state of confusion, upon
beholding My presence manifested in
the light of the infinite that illuminates
the consciences, awaken from their
profound sleep, weeping and with
desperate remorse. While the pain of
the child freeing itself from its
sorrows continues, the Father also
suffers. (228, 7 - 8)
3. Remorse and torture from lack of
wisdom, and suffering for lack of the
spirituality necessary to enjoy that
life, these and more are present in the
expiation of the spirits that come
stained or without preparation to the
threshold of the spiritual life.
4. Do you see how I cannot take sin,
imperfections, or the perversity of
men as offenses against the Father,
knowing that the evil done by men is
to themselves? (36, 56)
5. How luminous would your lives
be, and how great the advance of your
sciences if you loved your neighbors
and did the will of your Father, if you
would sacrifice something of your
free will and work in accord with the
dictates of your conscience. Your
science would then touch the
superhuman upon surpassing the
limits of the material world, for as of
this moment it has not yet approached
those limits.
6. What surprise the spirit of the
scientist feels when it abandons this
world and comes to present itself
before the Divine truth. There He
bows his head in shame, praying that
his pride be forgiven! He believed He
knew all and could do all, and denied
the existence of anything beyond his
knowledge or comprehension;
however, upon finding himself in
front of the Book of Life, before the
infinite work of the Creator, He must
recognize his smallness and cover
himself in humility before He who is
absolute wisdom. (283, 48 - 49)
7. Do not fear, thinking of all your
earthly sins, to come to the spiritual
valley. If you allow the pain to
cleanse you, that repentance surge
forth in your heart, and if you struggle
to repair your faults, you will arrive
clean and worthy before My presence,
and none, not even your conscience,
shall dare to mention your past
imperfections.
8. In the perfect mansion there is
for each spirit, a place that waits in
time, or in eternity, the arrival of its
possessor. One by one, you shall
come to My Kingdom on the ladder of
Chapter 29 - Purification and Ascension of the Spirits in The
Beyond
262
love, charity, faith, and merit. (81,60-
61)
Compensating Justice
9. Few disciples I have had in this
world and even less in number the
ones who have been like the image of
the Divine Master. In the spiritual
realm I have many disciples, for that
is where there is more advancement
within the study of My teachings.
That is where My beginners, those
who thirst and hunger for love,
receive from their Master what
mankind denied them. That is where
those who were ignored on earth, on
account of their humility, glow
because of their virtue, and where
those who glowed with false
enlightenment in this world weep with
sadness and repentance.
10. In the hereafter, is where I
welcome you in a manner that you did
not expect on earth, when you
restitute tearfully but praising Me. It
does not matter that along your
journey you had a moment of
desperation. I will take into account
that you had days of great distress and
that in them you demonstrated
resignation and you blessed My
Name. You too in your smallness
have experienced some Calvaries,
although these were caused by your
disobedience.
11. Behold, that for a few moments
of fidelity and love for God, you
obtain times of life and grace in the
hereafter. In that way My eternal love
responds to the temporary love of
man. (22, 27 - 29)
12. Every good deed will have its
reward, which will not be received on
earth, but in the Beyond. But how
many of you would like to enjoy that
glory here on earth, unaware that He
who does not work toward his
spiritual life, will be without merits on
entering it, and his repentance will be
great. (1, 21)
13. He who goes about seeking the
honors and praise of the world, shall
have them here, but they will be of
short duration and will serve him for
nothing the day of his entry to the
spiritual world. He who seeks money,
shall have his reward here, for that
was what He sought; but when the
time comes to leave it all here, to
present himself in the Beyond, He
will have no right to claim
compensation for his spirit, though He
may believe He has done much for
charity.
14. In contrast, He who has always
renounced the praise and favors, and
who has renounced all material prizes,
being busy sowing goodness, and who
enjoys performing charity, is not
thinking of prizes because He does
not live for his own satisfaction, but
for that of his fellow men. How great
will be his peace and happiness when
He is in the bosom of his Lord. (253,
14)
15. During this period I have come
to bring you a teaching that is pure
and perfect. Thus, I say to you that at
the end of your journey, only the true
Chapter 29 - Purification and Ascension of the Spirits in The
Beyond
263
deeds of love that you practiced will
be accepted, because it will
demonstrate that you knew the truth.
16. Although you might not know
the value of a good deed while doing
it, do not think that you will never
become aware of the good you have
done. I say to you that each one of
your works will be rewarded.
17. You shall see when you are in
the Spiritual Kingdom how many
times a small act, in appearance of
little importance, has been the
beginning of a chain of benefits, a
chain that others went on lengthening,
but which ends up always to the
satisfaction of He who initiated it.
(292, 23 - 24)
18. I inspire you to earn merit, not
for you to be moved by selfish interest
in your own salvation, but for you to
act thinking of your brothers, and in
generations yet to come whose
pleasure will be great when they find
the road prepared by those who went
first. Then your happiness will be
infinite, for the gladness and peace of
your brothers shall reach your own
spirits.
19. How different from those who
seek only their own salvation and
happiness, for they, on arriving to the
place they have prepared by their
works, cannot have an instant of
peace or happiness contemplating
those who remain behind bearing the
heavy burden of their suffering.
20. Truly I tell you that the true
disciples of this Doctrine practice
deeds of love that are just and pure, as
is their conscience, which is My own
light. (290, 76 - 77)
21. If you behave with humility,
your spiritual wealth will grow in the
life that awaits you. Then you shall
have peace that gives you the most
beautiful sensation of your existence,
and in your spirit the desire to serve
the Father by being a faithful guardian
of all created by Me, and by being a
consolation for those who suffer, and
peace for those who feel no
tranquility. (260, 29)
The Ascension of Spirits to the
Kingdom of God
22. This is the Third Era, in which
your spirit, from the earth, may begin
to dream of great knowledge and
higher dwelling places, for He who
upon departing this world bears in his
spirit the knowledge of what He will
find, and the development of his
spiritual gifts, shall pass through
many worlds without stopping in
them until arriving to that which,
through his merits, it corresponds to
him to inhabit.
23. He shall be plainly conscious of
his spiritual state, know how to carry
out his mission wherever He finds
himself, know the language of love,
harmony, and justice, and know how
to communicate with the purity of
spiritual language that is thought.
There shall be no dangerous obstacles,
confusion, nor mourning, and He shall
begin to live the supreme pleasure of
coming closer to the mansions that
Chapter 29 - Purification and Ascension of the Spirits in The
Beyond
264
belong to him because they belong to
the eternal inheritance. (294, 55)
24. On the Divine ladder there is an
infinite number of beings whose
spiritual perfection allows them to
occupy different steps according to
the grade of evolution which they
have reached. Your spirits were
created with sufficient attributes to
evolve along that ladder of perfection
and to reach a certain level of
evolution, according to the Divine
designs of the Creator.
25. You do not know the destiny of
those spirits, but I say to you that it is
perfect like everything created by me.
26. You still do not understand the
gifts that the Father gave to you, but
do not fear, because later you will
become aware of them and will see
them fully manifested.
27. The infinite number of spirits
which, like yours, reside in different
dwellings, find themselves united by a
superior force, which is that of love.
They were created for struggle, for
their elevation, not for immobility.
Those who have obeyed My mandates
have come to be great in Divine Love.
28. Nevertheless, I remind you that
even though your spirits may have
reached greatness, power, and
wisdom, they will not come to be
omnipotent since their attributes are
not infinite as they are in God.
However, they will suffice to take you
to the peak of your perfection along
the straight path which the love of
your Creator traced for you from the
first instant. (32, 34 - 37)
29. Your spirit shall have to pass
seven spiritual stages to reach its
perfection. Today, while living on the
earth, you do not know on what step
of the ladder you find yourselves.
30. Although I know the answer to
that question from your spirit, I must
not tell you the answer now.
31. Each stair, each rung, each
mansion, offers greater light and more
perfect joy to the spirit; but supreme
peace, and the perfect happiness of
the spirit, are beyond the fleeting
dwellings of the spirits.
32. How many times will you
believe you feel perfect happiness
within the bosom of God, not
realizing that this happiness is merely
the promise of the next world, to
which you will pass after this life.
(296, 49 - 50)
33. How many there are who dream
of dying, with the hope that it will be
the moment when they arrive before
Me to adore Me eternally in heaven,
not realizing that the road is infinitely
longer than they have been able to
believe. To ascend one rung on the
ladder that leads to Me, it is necessary
to have known how to live a human
life. Ignorance is what causes many to
confuse the essence of My lessons.
(164, 30)
34. Because of man, the elements of
destruction have been unleashed, and
war has sown its seed in every heart.
Oh, how much pain humanity has felt!
How much desolation, misery,
Chapter 29 - Purification and Ascension of the Spirits in The
Beyond
265
abandonment, and mourning they
have left in their path! Do you believe
that the spirits of those who have
fallen in the battle perished? Or that
the part of life, of eternity, that
inhabits men has ceased to exist?
35. No, people, the spirit survives
war and death. That part of My own
Spirit rises from the fields of pain, and
seeks on My road a new horizon to
continue living, developing, and
evolving. (262, 26 - 27)
36. I have given the earth to you to
possess equally, to live on in peace,
and take as a temporal home in which
you will develop your gifts and
prepare your spirit to ascend to its
new dwelling place.
37. I said to you: "In the house of the
Lord there are many mansions." You
will know them as you ascend. Each
ascending grade will bring you closer
to Me, and will be reached by you
according to your works, for all is
subject to a Divine order and justice.
38. No one may impede your
passing from one step to the next, and
at the end of each one of them, there
will be rejoicing and celebration in
your spirit, and also in Mine.
39. In this way I prepare you to
know that the road that you must take
is long; do not be satisfied with your
first works, believing they will open
the gates to those mansions.
40. Also, I tell you, it is beautiful
and satisfying for a spirit to come to
the end of a stage, and stop to look
back at the road already traveled, its
great struggles, its days of bitterness,
and the hours of peace after
overcoming the numerous obstacles.
41. And, finally, the triumph, the
compensation and justice glowing
around you, and the spirit of your
Father, present and glorious, blessing
his son, bringing him to rest in his
bosom while He is being prepared for
the next step, and thus passing from
one to the other until finally you
arrive at the highest fulfillment: to
reside eternally in Me. (315, 34 - 36)
42. The spark that makes man
similar to his Creator shall come ever
closer to the infinite flame from which
it sprang, and that flash of light shall
be a luminous, conscientious being
vibrant with love, full of wisdom and
strength. That being shall enjoy the
state of perfection in which there is
not even the smallest pain or most
minor misery, but perfect and true
happiness.
43. If this were not the destiny of
your spirit, truly I tell you that I
would never have given you to know
My Doctrine through so many
lessons, for the Law of the First Era
would have been sufficient for you to
live in peace on earth.
44. Yet, if you meditate on the fact
that I came to live among men and
promised them an infinitely better
world beyond this life, and if
additionally you remember that I
promised to return in another Era to
continue speaking, and to explain to
you all that you did not understand,
you will finally understand that the
spiritual destination of men, is much,
Chapter 29 - Purification and Ascension of the Spirits in The
Beyond
266
much higher than you are able to
imagine, and that the happiness
promised is infinitely greater than you
can imagine or foresee. (277, 48 - 49)
My peace be with you !
267
Chapter 30 - The Development of the Spirit through Reincarnations
The Law of Evolution
1. I say to you that it is necessary for
humanity to know that its spirit has
come many times to earth and that
still they have not been able to arise
along the pathway of My Law in
order to reach the summit of the
mountain. (77, 55)
2. Why, if humanity has seen the
development of science and the
discovery of things they would not
have believed earlier, does it resist the
natural evolution of the spirit? Why
are they obstinate in what makes them
remain stationary and lethargic? Why
have they not wished to glimpse
eternal life? (118, 77)
3. Understand, that although creation
appears to have been completed, all
things continue to evolve, transform,
and become more perfect. Could your
spirit escape that Divine Law? No,
My children, no one can say the last
word about the spiritual, about
science, or about life, for they are
works of mine, which have no ending.
4. How many men, based on the
knowledge they have achieved,
believe themselves to have greatness
of spirit, but to Me are like some
children standing still on the road to
their evolution; they should realize
that it is not only through the
development of the mind that the
elevation of the spirit is achieved, but
through the all - around development
of their being; and there are many
gifts needed to evolve in order to
achieve completeness.
5. That is why I instituted the
reincarnation of the spirit as one of
My laws of love and justice, in order
to provide it with a longer road that
would give it the opportunities
necessary to achieve its perfection.
6. Each existence is [only] a brief
lesson; since otherwise, the
opportunity for a man to include in it
the fulfillment of all My law would be
very short. However, it is necessary
that you understand the meaning of
this life in order to take from it its
essence and to achieve its harmony,
which is the basis of human
perfection; then you will be able to
pass to a higher plane, until you arrive
to the spiritual life. There I have kept
many lessons that I must teach you,
and many revelations that I must still
make to you. (156, 28 - 29)
7. Why is it, that while all things
grow, unceasingly transform, develop,
and become more perfect, your spirit
alone remains stagnant throughout the
centuries?
8. Since you have discovered and
learned much through the sciences,
you do not ignore the incessant
evolution that exists in all the beings
of creation. I wish you to understand
that you must not leave your spirit
abandoned to that backwardness and
in the stagnation into which you have
kept it for so long; and that you must
struggle to achieve harmony with all
Chapter 30 - The Development of the Spirit through Reincarnations
268
that surrounds you, so that the day
might come when Nature, instead of
hiding its secrets, reveals them, and
the elements, instead of being hostile,
become your servants, collaborators,
and brothers. (305, 6 and 8)
The "Resurrection of the Flesh" -
Properly Understood
9. Now the world will know the truth
about the resurrection of the flesh,
which is the reincarnation of the
spirit.
10. Reincarnate: to return to the
material world to be born again as a
man: the emergence of the spirit in a
human body for the continuation of a
mission: That is the truth about the
resurrection of the flesh of which your
elders have spoken, giving it
interpretations that were as twisted as
they were absurd.
11. Reincarnation is a gift that God
has conceded to your spirit so that it is
never limited by the smallness of the
material form, by its ephemeral
existence on the earth, or by its
natural weaknesses; but rather,
because the spirit proceeds from a
superior nature, it may use as many
material forms as are necessary for
carrying out its great missions in the
world.
12. Through this gift, the spirit
demonstrates its immense superiority
over the flesh, over death, and over all
that is earthly, defeating death,
surviving from one body to another,
to as many as may be entrusted to it:
the conqueror of time, obstacles, and
temptations. (290, 53 – 56)
13. How could you ever believe that
on the day of judgment the bodies of
the dead will be resurrected and be
united to their spirits in order to enter
the Kingdom of God? How can you
interpret in that manner what you
were taught in former times?
14. The flesh is of this world and
here it remains, while the spirit arises
free and returns to the existence from
where it emerged. That which is born
of the flesh is flesh; that which is born
of My Spirit is spirit. The resurrection
of the flesh is the reincarnation of the
spirit, and if some believe that to be a
human theory and others believe it to
be a new revelation, verily I say to
you that I began to make it known to
the world since the beginning of
mankind; proof of it you can find in
the text of the Scriptures, which are a
testimony of My works.
15. However, during this Era the
revelation has reached your spirit in a
greater level of evolution. Soon it will
be justly regarded as one of the most
rightful and loving laws of the
Creator. Disregard the belief that you
had about the 'Day of Judgment'
which is not a day like yours, because
it is a period, and the end of the world
is not the end of the planet where you
live, but of the egotistical life you
have created on it. (76, 41 - 43)
16. The Mystery of the resurrection
of the flesh has been clarified by the
revelation of the reincarnation of the
spirit. Today you realize that the goal
of this law of love and justice is for
the perfection of the spirit, so that it
Chapter 30 - The Development of the Spirit through Reincarnations
269
will never be lost, because it will
always find an open door as an
opportunity which the Father offers
for its salvation.
17. My judgment for every spirit, by
reason of this law, is perfect and
inexorable.
18. Only I know how to judge you,
for each destiny is incomprehensible
to men. Thus no one is censured or
exposed before the others.
19. And after losing themselves in
sin, from so many struggles and
vicissitudes and much wandering, the
spirits will come before Me filled with
wisdom through their experience,
purified by pain, elevated by their
merits, weary from their long
pilgrimage, but simple and joyful as
children. (1, 61 - 64)
The Differentiated State of the
Development of the Spirits
20. It has been a long while since
your spirit emanated from Me,
nevertheless, not everyone has
progressed in the same way along the
spiritual path.
21. All destinies are different
although they lead you toward the
same goal. To some are reserved
some ordeals and to others different
ones. One child travels one path, and
another will follow a different course.
Neither have all of you emerged to
this existence at the same instant, nor
will you return at the same moment.
Some travel ahead, and others behind,
but the goal awaits everyone. No one
knows who is near nor who is distant,
because you are still small to have this
knowledge; you are human and your
vanity would lead you astray. (10, 77
- 78)
22. At all times, even the remotest of
human history, you have had
examples of men of elevated spirit.
How do you explain to yourselves the
fact, that there have been men with
evolved spirits since the earliest times,
if before they had not passed through
successive reincarnations that helped
them to elevate themselves?
23. It is because the spirit is not born
at the same time as the shell, nor did
the beginning of humanity coincide
with that of the spirit. Truly I tell you,
not a single spirit has ever come to
this world without having existed first
in the Beyond. And who among you
can measure or know the time that He
has lived in other mansions before
coming to dwell on the earth? (156,
31 - 32)
The Knowledge of previous earthly
Lives and of your own Development
24. While the spirit is united with the
material body, it is unaware of the
merits it has achieved in past lives.
However, it does know that it
possesses eternal life and that it will
continually evolve in pursuit of
summit, but is presently unaware of
what level it has reached. (190, 57)
25. Your mind does not receive the
past impressions or memories of your
spirit, because the material is like a
thick veil that does not permit entry
into the spirit's life. What mind could
Chapter 30 - The Development of the Spirit through Reincarnations
270
receive the images and impressions
that the spirit has gathered in the
trajectory of its past? What
intelligence could coordinate with
human ideas that which is
incomprehensible?
26. For all these reasons, until now I
have not permitted you to know who
you are spiritually, nor what your past
has been. (274, 54 - 55)
27. All My works have been written
by Me in a book entitled: "Life." The
number of pages is uncountable, its
wisdom is infinite, and other than by
God, who is the author, it may not be
obtained by anyone. But there, on
every page, is written a limited
summary in which the Father has
delineated every one of his works, in
order to place it within reach of every
understanding.
28. You too, are writing the book of
your life, in which are written all of
your works and each one of your steps
on the long road of evolution. That
book will be written in your
conscience, and it will be the light of
knowledge and experience with which
tomorrow you will illuminate the
paths of your younger brothers.
29. You can not yet present your
book to anyone, because even you do
not know its contents, but soon there
will be light in your being, and you
will be able to show your brothers the
pages that tell of your development,
your restitution, and your experiences.
You will then be an open book for
humanity.
30. Blessed are those who take
possession of their mission, they will
feel themselves ascending the ladder
that Jacob saw in his dreams, which is
the spiritual road that leads beings to
the presence of the Creator. (253, 6 -
8)
Love as a Requirement for Spiritual
Development
31. Just as your body requires air,
the sun, water, and bread to live, so
too the spirit needs the environment,
the light, and the sustenance of its
own being. When it is deprived of the
freedom to elevate itself in search of
nourishment, it weakens, withers, and
grows dull, like a child made to stay
always in its crib and enclosed in its
bedroom; its limbs stiffen, it grows
pale, its senses weaken, and its
faculties atrophy.
32. See how the spirit can also
become paralytic? What if I told you
that the world is full of the paralyzed,
the blind, the deaf, and ill in spirit.
The spirit that lives closed off,
without the freedom to develop itself,
is a being that does not grow, not in
wisdom, nor in strength and virtue.
(258, 62 - 63)
33. Truly I tell you, that which can
elevate you is love, for in it exist
wisdom, sentiment, and elevation.
Love is a compendium of all the
attributes of the Divinity, and God has
lit that flame in every spiritual
creature.
34. How many lessons I have given
so that you would learn to love? How
Chapter 30 - The Development of the Spirit through Reincarnations
271
many opportunities, lives, and
reincarnations the Divine mercy has
provided! The lesson has been
repeated as many times as necessary,
until it is learned. Once it is obeyed,
there is no need to repeat the lesson,
for it cannot be forgotten.
35. If you learn My lessons quickly,
you will no longer have to suffer, nor
weep for your errors. A being that
takes advantage of the lessons
received on earth may return to the
world, but each time with more
advancement and in better conditions.
Between one life and another there is
always a respite, which is necessary to
meditate and rest before beginning the
new task. (263, 43 - 45)
Various Reasons for the
Reincarnations
36. Truly I tell you that in no epoch
of human life has man lacked
knowledge of My Law, for He has
never lacked a glimmer in his spirit,
an intuition in his mind, or a
presentiment in his heart from the
Divine spark, which is his conscience.
37. Nonetheless, your spirit has
turned toward the Beyond wearing a
blindfold of darkness, and I tell you
that He who does not make use of the
lessons contained in the life of this
world, this vale of trials, shall have to
return to it to finish his restitution and
above all, to learn. (184, 39)
38. In other worlds the spirits also
enjoy free will, and they sin and lose
the way, or persevere in the good and
therefore manage to ascend, just as
you do on earth. But at the indicated
moment, those destined to come to
this world, descend to it either to
fulfill a noble mission, or to atone in
restitution.
39. According to their desire to see
this earth, it will seem to some a
paradise, and to others a hell. That is
why, when they understand the mercy
of the Father, they see only a
marvelous life sowed with blessings
and teachings for the spirit: a road that
brings them closer to the Promised
Land.
40. Some leave this world desiring
to return, others do so with the fear of
having to; this is because your being
has not yet learned to understand the
harmony in which you must live with
the Lord. (156, 33 - 34)
41. Let no one rebel at the idea of
having to return to this planet in
another body, nor think that
reincarnation is a punishment for the
spirit. All spirits destined to live on
the earth have had to pass through the
law of reincarnation in order to
achieve their evolution and carry out
the mission I have entrusted to them.
42. It is not only the spirits of little
elevation that must reincarnate again,
the elevated spirits too return time and
again, until their work is finished.
43. Elijah is the greatest of the
prophets that have come to the earth,
and in spite of the great works that He
did and the great trials that He
experienced, He had to return to this
world in another time, in another
material form, and with another name.
Chapter 30 - The Development of the Spirit through Reincarnations
272
44. This law of love and justice was
unknown by humanity for a long time,
for if they had known it before, they
might have fallen into confusion; still,
the Father made some revelations to
you, and gave you some signs that
were the foregoing light of this time,
which is the Era of the solution of all
the Mysteries. (122, 25 - 28)
The Road to Perfection
45. Long is the road by which you
shall come to the fullness of light. No
being has a longer road than that of
the spirit, which the Father, the Divine
Sculptor who shapes and polishes
your spirit, gives perfect form. (292,
26)
46. Truly I tell you, that to come to
complete cleanliness, your spirit must
yet purify itself much in this world
and in the spiritual valley.
47. You will return to this planet as
many times as necessary, and the
more you fail to make use of the
opportunities your Father gives you,
the longer will be postponed your
definitive entry into the true life, and
the longer your stay in the vale of
tears.
48. In each earthly existence, every
spirit must show its advancement and
the fruits of its evolution, making a
firm step forward each time.
49. Keep in mind that the only good
that rebounds to your own benefit is
that which is done out of true love and
charity for others, and which is done
disinterestedly. (159, 29 - 32)
50. In man there are two forces
which are always in struggle: his
human nature, which is temporary,
and his spiritual nature which is
eternal.
51. That eternal being is well aware
that very long periods of time will
pass for him to be able to reach his
spiritual perfection; He anticipates
that He will have many existences and
that in them He will go through many
ordeals before gaining his true
happiness. The spirit foresees that
after his tears, pain and passing many
times through bodily death, He will
reach the summit which He has
always sought in his longing for
perfection.
52. On the other hand, the flesh, that
weak and small being, weeps, rebels
and sometimes refuses to follow the
dictates of the spirit, and only when
the latter has evolved, is strong and
experienced in the struggle with the
flesh and its surroundings, is it able to
dominate the flesh and manifest itself
through it.
53. Long is the pilgrimage of the
spirit, extensive his path, many and
quite variable his existences, and his
ordeals different at every moment, but
while He complies with them, He
elevates, purifies and perfects himself.
54. In his passage through life He is
leaving a trace of light, that is why
many times the whims of the flesh are
of no concern to the spirit, for He
knows that they are temporary, and
that He can not detain his journey by
incidents which He regards as
insignificant.
Chapter 30 - The Development of the Spirit through Reincarnations
273
55. Momentarily He fixes his
attention on the weaknesses of his
body, but He knows that He cannot
love very much something that is
short - lived and which soon
disappears into the bowels of the
earth. (18, 24 and 27 - 28)
The Universal School of Life
56. Since the beginning of humanity,
reincarnation of the spirit has existed
as a law of love and justice, and is one
of the forms in which the Father has
demonstrated his infinite clemency.
Reincarnation is not only of this time,
but of all times, but do not think that
this Mystery has not been revealed
before now; from the first times an
intuition has existed in man about the
reincarnation of the spirit.
57. Yet this humanity, seeking
material sciences and the riches of the
world, has allowed itself to be
dominated by the passions of the
flesh, hardening those senses with
which the spiritual is perceived,
making itself blind and deaf to that
which corresponds to the spirit. (105,
52)
58. Before your creation you were in
Me; later, as a spiritual creature, from
a place where all vibrates in perfect
harmony, where the essence of life
and the source of the true light are
found, I come to give you sustenance.
59. Pain was not created by the
Father. In the times of which I speak,
you had no reason to whimper and
had nothing to lament, you felt the
glory in yourselves, for in your
perfect life, you were the symbol of
that existence.
60. But when you left that dwelling I
gave vestment to the spirit, and you
descended further and further. Since
then, your spirit has been evolving
little by little, until arriving to the
plane it now occupies, where the light
of the Father shines. (115, 4 - 5)
61. The final destination of every
spirit is to unite with God after it
becomes purified and attains
perfection. That is why I fill your path
with enlightenment and give strength
to your spirit, so that you may ascend
step by step. The mansion that you
will inhabit in the spiritual valley will
be determined by your level of
spiritual elevation when you depart
from earth, because the universe was
created as a school of perfection for
the spirit. (195, 38)
62. If I had given you all in this life,
you would not now be wishing to
ascend another step, but what you
have not achieved in one existence,
you seek in another, and what you do
not reach in that, is promised to you in
a higher one, and so it goes on
infinitely on the endless road of the
spirits.
63. When you hear My word, it
seems impossible that your spirit
might be capable of reaching such
perfection, and I tell you that today
you doubt the high destiny of the
spirit because you only look at what
you can see with your material eyes:
smallness, ignorance, and evil. Yet,
Chapter 30 - The Development of the Spirit through Reincarnations
274
that is because the spirit of some is ill,
while in others it is paralyzed. There
are some who are blind, and yet others
who are spiritually dead. Before such
spiritual misery you must doubt the
destiny that eternity has reserved for
you.
64. Thus you live in this time of
materialism and love for the world,
yet the light of My truth has come to
you to dissipate the darkness of the
night of a time that has already
passed, announcing by the light of its
dawn the arrival of a new Era in
which the spirit will receive the
illumination of My teaching. (116, 17
- 18)
65. Many of you already will not
have another opportunity to come to
earth to repair your faults; you will
not posses that instrument that you
have today, which is the body that
bears you, and on which you depend.
It is necessary that you understand
that coming to the world is a privilege
for the spirit, never a punishment, and
therefore, you must make use of this
grace.
66. After this life you will go to
other worlds to receive new lessons
and there find new opportunities to
continue ascending the ladder and
perfecting yourselves. If you have
completed your obligations as men,
you will leave this world with
satisfaction for a mission completed,
bearing tranquility in your spirit. (221,
54 - 55)
67. My voice is calling to the great
multitudes because many spirits are
coming to the end of their long
pilgrimage on earth.
68. That dejection, that weariness,
and that sadness that they bear in their
hearts are the evidence that they yearn
for a higher dwelling, a better world.
69. Yet, it is necessary that in the
last phase of their lives on earth they
live in obedience to the dictates of
their consciences, so that the track left
by their last steps on earth be a
blessing for the generations that later
come to perform their various
missions in the world. (276, 4)
70 This world is not eternal, nor is
there any need for it to be. When this
dwelling ceases to have the reason it
has now to exist, it will disappear.
71. When your spirit no longer needs
the lessons that this life gives, because
other more elevated lessons await it in
another world, then, with the light
acquired in this struggle, it will say:
"How clearly I understand now that
all the vicissitudes of this life were
only experiences and lessons that I
needed in order to understand better.
How long this journey appeared to me
in the moments when suffering
drained My strength; but now, in
contrast, when all is in the past, how
brief and fleeting it appears before
eternity. (230. 47)
72. Be glad, humanity; think of
yourselves as migrant birds that pass
through this world full of tears,
poverty, and suffering. Be glad that it
Chapter 30 - The Development of the Spirit through Reincarnations
275
is not your eternal dwelling place.
Better worlds await you.
73. Thus, when you say farewell to
this earth, you will do so without
bitterness, and here will remain the
cries of pain, the work, and the tears.
You will say good - bye to this world,
and rise up to those higher worlds that
await you. From there, you will see
the earth as a point in space that you
remember with love. (230, 51)
The Power of Conviction of the
Doctrine of Reincarnation
74. Spiritual enlightenment is
revealing to the world the truth, the
justice, the reason, and the love that
exist in the spiritual gift of
reincarnation. Nevertheless, in the
beginning the world will fiercely
battle this revelation, labeling it as a
strange and false doctrine in order to
make men of good faith distrust it.
75. The efforts of the religions to
maintain their faithful in the routine of
old beliefs and methods beyond their
time shall be useless and vain, for
none can stop the Divine light that
penetrates to the depths of
understanding, awakening the spirit to
an Era of revelations, of Divine
confidences, of clarification of doubts
and Mysteries, and of spiritual
liberation.
76. Nor shall any be able to hold
back the torrent that forms when
humanity rises in search of its liberty
of thought, of the spirit, and of faith.
(290, 57 - 59)
Stages in the Reincarnation of a
Spirit
77. I am calling all travelers to listen
to My voice, which invites them to
ascend spiritually and to possess
eternal life.
78. In this day in which the Divine
Word makes itself heard, learn from
this word and enlighten yourselves
with it, for in wisdom is the light and
your salvation.
79. If My law teaches you morality,
righteousness, and order in all acts of
your life, why do you seek adverse
paths which bring you pain, and when
you depart to the hereafter, leaving
your body in the earth, you weep
because you have loved that physical
body so much?
80. When you feel that the material
body no longer belongs to you, and
that you must follow the road until
you reach me, I have asked you: My
child, what gift do you bring me?
Have you lived on the earth obeying
My mandates?
81. And you are ashamed and
dejected because you do not bear a
gift of love for the one who loves you
so much and has granted you so
much. You have created chains which
crush your spirit. And having lost its
grace, your spirit appears without
light, weeping and grieving. It hears
the voice of the Father who calls, but
since it has not evolved, nor feels
worthy of coming to him, it hesitates
and waits.
82. Time passes, and once again the
spirit hears that voice. In the midst of
its pain it asks who speaks, and the
Chapter 30 - The Development of the Spirit through Reincarnations
276
voice says: Awaken! Do you not
know from where you have come, nor
where you go? Then the spirit raises
its eyes and sees an immense light,
before its splendor it sees itself
insignificant. It recognizes, that before
being sent to the earth, it had existed
and had been loved by the Father,
which is from whom the voice came,
and who now, upon seeing him in this
painful situation, suffers for it. The
spirit knows that it has been sent to
different worlds to journey over a
difficult path and has to reach its
reward through its merits.
83. The child asks, if before being
sent to earth I have been your beloved
creature, why have I not remained
virtuous? Why have I had to descend
to suffer and work in order to return to
you?
84. The voice replies: All spirits
have been submitted to the law of
evolution and on that road the Spirit
of the Father always protects you and
is pleased by the good deeds of his
son. Truly, I have sent you to earth in
order that you might make of it a
dwelling of struggle for spiritual
perfection, not a valley of war and
pain.
85. I have told you to multiply and
not be sterile, and when you return to
the spiritual valley and do not bring
any harvest, you only weep, arriving
without the grace with which I have
covered you. That is why I send you
one more time and tell you, cleanse
yourself, seek that which you have
lost, and cultivate your elevation.
86. The spirit returns to earth and
seeks a small and tender human body
in order to rest in it and begin the new
journey. It finds the small child
designated to it and unites with that
body in order to make restitution for
its failings within My law. Knowing
what it must do and aware that it
belongs to the Father, the spirit comes
to the earth clearly aware of its
mission.
87. In its first years it is innocent; it
preserves its purity, and remains in
contact with the spiritual life. Then it
begins to know sin. It looks closely at
pride, arrogance, and at the
rebelliousness of men before the just
laws of the Father, and the flesh,
which is stubborn by nature, begins to
contaminate itself with evil. Having
fallen into temptation, if forgets the
mission which it brought to earth and
arises performing deeds which are
contrary to the law. The spirit and
material body eat the forbidden fruits,
and when they have fallen into the
abyss, the last hour surprises them.
88. Once again the spirit finds itself
in the spiritual valley, weary and
burdened by the weight of its faults.
Then it remembers the voice that
spoke to it in another time which still
calls to it. And after much weeping,
feeling lost, and not knowing who it
is, it remembers that it has already
been in that place.
89. Then the Father, who has created
it with so much love, appears on its
path, asking: Who are you? From
where do you come and where do you
go?
Chapter 30 - The Development of the Spirit through Reincarnations
277
90. The son recognizes in that voice
the word of the one who has given it
its existence, intelligence, and gifts;
the voice of the Father who always
forgives, who purifies, and removes
the darkness and leads to the light.
The child trembles because it knows it
is before the Judge, and speaks,
saying: Father, My disobedience and
My debts to you are very great, and I
can not aspire to live in your home,
for I have no merits. Today, when I
returned to the spiritual valley, I see
that I have only accumulated faults for
which I must make restitution.
91. But the loving Father once more
points out the way, and once again the
spirit incarnates and forms a part of
humanity.
92. Now experienced and with
greater strength, it then subdues the
material body in order to control it
and to obey the Divine dictates. The
battle begins. The spirit combats the
sins which cause man to fall and
wants to take advantage of the
opportunity which has been granted
for its salvation. It struggles from
beginning to end. And when the white
hairs shine on the temple, and the
body which before was strong and
healthy begins to slowly stoop under
the weight of the years and lose
energy, then the spirit feels strong,
more developed, and experienced.
How great and disgusting sin appears
to that being, it leaves that sin and
reaches the end of its journey. Now it
only awaits the moment in which the
Father will call it, for it has come to
the conclusion that the Divine Law is
just, that the will of God is perfect,
and that the Father lives in order to
give life and salvation to his children.
93. When the last day comes, it feels
death in its flesh and has no pain; it
departs silently and respectfully. It
contemplates itself in the spirit, and as
if it had a mirror before it, sees itself
as beautiful and radiant with light.
Then the voice speaks to it and asks,
Child, where are you going? And
knowing who it is, it approaches the
Father, allows his light to invade its
being and speaks thus: O Creator, O
Universal Love, I come to you to rest
and to give to you the fulfillment of
My mission.
94. The account is settled; the spirit
is healthy, cleansed and free of the
chains of sin, and sees before it the
reward which awaited it.
95. Then it feels that it merges with
the light of that Father, that its joy is
greater, and it contemplates a mansion
of peace, a holy land, and a profound
silence; then it remains at rest in the
bosom of Abraham. (33, 14 - 16)
My peace be with you !

Chapter 31 - Redemption and Eternal Salvation
The Correction of Mistaken
Concepts about Redemption
1. Many men have accepted the idea
that all the tears of this world have
been caused by the sins of its first
inhabitants, and in their clumsiness in
interpreting the parable have come to
say, that Christ came to wash away
the stain with his blood. If this
affirmation were true, why, in spite of
that already consummated sacrifice,
would men continue to sin and to
suffer?
2. Jesus came to earth to teach men
the road to perfection, a road He
pointed out with his life, his words,
and his deeds. (150, 43 - 44)
3. All will reach the goal according
to the fulfillment of your mission; for
that purpose I have come to deliver
My teachings, which are
inexhaustible, in order for you to
ascend the ladder of your evolution. It
is not My blood that will save you,
but My light within your spirit which
will redeem you. (8, 39)
4. I will be given a new cross in this
Third Era. It will not be visible to
mortal eyes but from its height I will
send My message of love to
humanity; and My blood, which is the
essence of My word, will be
converted into light for the spirit.
5. Those who judged Me in that era,
today repented, give light with their
spirits to the heart of humanity as
restitution for their faults.
6. Before My doctrine triumphs over
the evilness of men, it must be
flogged and mocked, just as Christ
suffered on the cross. My light must
emerge from every wound to
illuminate the darkness of this world
that lacks love. My invisible blood
must also spread over humanity to
once again show it the path of its
redemption. (49, 17 - 19)
7. I tell you once again, that in Me
all humanity will be saved. That blood
shed at Calvary is life for the spirit,
but it is not in the blood itself, which
fell to the dust of the earth, but rather
the Divine love that is represented by
it. Now, when I speak to you of My
blood, you know what meaning it
holds.
8. Many men have spilled their
blood in the service of the Lord and
for love of their brothers, but that has
not represented the Divine blood, only
spiritual, only human.
9. The blood of Jesus represents
Divine love because it bore no stain;
in the Master there was never any sin,
and of his blood He gave even the last
drop to make you comprehend that
God is everything for his creatures,
that for them He gives himself
completely, because He loves them
infinitely.
10. If the dust of the earth drank that
liquid that sustained life in the body
of the Master, it was so that you
would understand that My Doctrine
would fertilize the lives of men with
Chapter 31 - Redemption and Eternal Salvation
280
the Divine watering of its love, its
wisdom, and its justice.
11. The world, incredulous and
skeptical of the words and examples
of the Master, disputes My teaching,
saying that Jesus shed his blood to
save mankind from sin, but that in
spite of it, the world has not been
saved; it sins more every day in spite
of being more evolved.
12. "Where, then, is the power of
that blood of redemption?" men ask,
while those who should be teaching
the true concepts of My doctrine do
not know how to satisfy the questions
of those hungry for light and thirsty to
know the truth.
13. I tell you, in this era, the
questions of those who do not know,
have a better basis and sense than the
answers and explanations given to
them by those who say they know the
truth.
14. I have come again to speak to
you, and here you have My words for
those who think that blood achieved
the salvation of the sinners before the
Divine justice, that it saved all who
were lost and condemned to torment.
15. I tell you, if the Father, who
knows all, had believed that humanity
were not going to understand and
make use of all the words and works
that Jesus gave to them, truly, He
would never have sent him, for the
Creator has never done anything
unnecessary, nothing that is not
destined to give fruit. And if He sent
Jesus to be born, grow, and die among
men, it was so that the radiant and
fertile life of the Master would remain
to mark an imperishable path; an
indelible track, so that all his children
would find the way that leads them to
true love, and that complying with his
Doctrine, leads them to the mansion
where their Creator awaits them.
16. He knew also, that the blood that
spoke of purity, of infinite love, upon
being shed to the very last drop,
would teach humanity to complete the
mission that raises them to the
Promised Land with faith in their
Creator, where upon presenting their
fulfillment, they may say: "Lord, it is
finished."
17. Now I can tell you, that it was
not the hour of the shedding of My
blood on the cross that marked the
moment of human redemption. My
blood remains here, in the present
world, alive, fresh, tracing with the
bloody mark of My passion, the path
of your restitution that will lead you
to conquer the dwelling that your
Father has promised you.
18. I have told you: I am the source
of life, come and wash your stains so
that you may walk free and safe to
your Father and Creator.
19. My fountain is that of love, it is
inexhaustible and infinite; of that
speaks My blood shed in that time; it
signed My Word and sealed My
Doctrine. (158, 23 - 33)
20. Now, many centuries distant
from those events, I tell you that in
spite of Jesus having spilled his blood
for all humanity, only those who have
followed the path that Jesus came to
show you have achieved salvation,
Chapter 31 - Redemption and Eternal Salvation
281
while those who have persisted in
their ignorance and fanaticism, their
errors, or their sin, are not yet saved.
21. I told you that were I to make
Myself man a thousand times, and a
thousand times die on the cross, while
humanity does not rise to follow me,
it will not have achieved its salvation;
it is not My cross which will save
you, but your own. I bore mine on My
back, on it I died as a man, and in that
instant I was in the bosom of the
Father. You must imitate Me in
meekness and love, bearing your
cross on your backs with true humility
until you reach the end of your
mission, so that you too may come to
be with your Father.
22. There are none who do not wish
to find happiness, and the more
lasting, the better, because I come to
show you a road that leads to the
supreme and eternal happiness.
Nevertheless, I merely show you the
way and leave you to choose that
which most pleases you.
23. I ask you: If you wish happiness,
why do you not sow it so that you can
harvest it later? How few there are
who have felt the impulse to render
themselves to humanity! (169, 37 -
38)
24. The ideas you have of the
meaning of life on earth, of what the
spirit is, and of what the spiritual
valley is, are mistaken.
25. The majority of believers think
that living with a certain rectitude, or
repenting, in the last instant of life, of
the errors they have made, they have
assured themselves of glory for their
spirits.
26. That false concept that blinds
men does not permit them to
persevere throughout their lives in
compliance with the law, and causes
their spirits, when they abandon this
world and come to the spiritual
mansion, to find themselves in a place
where they do not behold the marvels
they had imagined, nor feel the
supreme happiness to which they
think they have a right.
27. Do you know what happens to
those beings that felt sure of reaching
heaven but instead find only
confusion? Upon no longer inhabiting
the earth because they no longer have
the point of support provided by their
physical shell, and being unable to
ascend to the heights in which the
dwellings of the spiritual light are
found, without realizing it, they create
for themselves a world that is neither
human nor profoundly spiritual.
28. Then is when the spirits ask: "Is
this the Glory? Is this the dwelling
fated by God for the spirits after such
a long journey on earth?"
29. "No," say others; "This cannot be
the bosom of the Lord, where only
light, love, and purity may exist."
30. Slowly, through meditation and
pain, the spirit comes to
understanding. It understands the
Divine justice, and illuminated by the
light of its conscience judges its past
works, and discovers them to have
been petty and imperfect, not worthy
of the reward He had expected.
Chapter 31 - Redemption and Eternal Salvation
282
31. It is then, with this preparation,
humility appears, and the desire to
return to the roads abandoned to erase
the stains incurred, repair the errors,
and earn true merit before the Father.
32. It is necessary to explain these
things to humanity, so that they may
understand that the material life is an
opportunity for men to earn merit for
their spirits, merit which elevate them
until they deserve a dwelling place of
higher spirituality, wherein, again
they must earn merit in order to avoid
becoming stagnant, and to continue
climbing, step by step, for: "In My
Father's house are many mansions."
33. These merits you earn through
love, as the eternal law of the Father
has told you. And thus, from step to
step on the ladder of perfection your
spirit shall go learning the path that
leads to glory, to true glory, which is
the perfection of the spirit. (184, 40 -
45)
34. Truly I tell you, that if in this Era
I had come as a man, your eyes would
still have had to see My fresh and
bleeding wounds, for the sins of men
have not ceased, nor have they wished
to redeem themselves in memory of
the blood shed by me on Calvary as a
proof of My love for humanity. But I
have come in spirit so that you may
avoid the affront of beholding the
work of those who judged and
sentenced me on earth.
35. All is forgiven, but in every
spirit exists something of that which I
spilled out for all on the cross; do not
believe that that breath and that blood
will be diluted or lost, they
represented the spiritual life that I
poured forth from that instant to all
men. What is more, for reason of that
blood that sealed My word and
confirmed what I said and did on the
earth, men rose up in search of the
regeneration of their spirits.
36. My word, My works, and My
blood were not, and shall not be in
vain. If sometimes it seems to you
that My name and My word are
almost forgotten, you will see how
they arise again, full of life, vigor, and
purity, like a seed that in spite of
being constantly embattled, never
dies. (321, 64 - 66)
37. The blood of Jesus converted
into the light of redemption continues
penetrating spirits as salvation. My
Spirit is eternally giving salvation and
light, continuously penetrating with
the rays of My light to where darkness
exists. Every moment My Divine
Spirit is spilling, not as human blood,
but in essence and spiritual life over
all My children. (319, 36)
"Heaven" must be Earned
38. Dominated by the forces of their
low passions, men have descended so
deeply in their sinfulness that they
have lost all hope of salvation; but
there is not one who can not be saved.
For the spirit will arise once it is
convinced that human turmoil will not
cease as long as it does not listen to
the voice of its conscience, fulfilling
My law until the end of its destiny,
which is not on earth but in eternity.
Chapter 31 - Redemption and Eternal Salvation
283
39. Those who believe that their
existence is absurd and believe that
their struggles and suffering are
useless, fail to realize that life is the
teacher that molds and pain the chisel
that perfects. Do not think that I
created pain to offer it to you in a cup.
Do not think that I have made you
fall. Man fell in disobedience by
himself, and for that reason He must
also arise by his own effort. Neither
think that only pain will perfect you,
no, you will also come to me by
practicing love, for I am love. (31, 54
- 55)
40. Pray more with the spirit than the
material, for to save yourselves an
instant of prayer or a day of love are
not sufficient, but rather a life of
perseverance, of patience, of elevated
works, and compliance with My
commandments. For this I have given
you great powers and senses.
41. My work is like an ark of
salvation that invites all to enter. All
who comply with My laws shall not
perish. If you guide yourselves by My
word, you will be saved. (123, 30 -
31)
42. Keep in mind that only what is
perfect reaches Me; therefore, your
spirit will enter My Kingdom only
when it has attained perfection. You
emerged from Me without experience,
but you shall return to Me adorned
with the garment of your merits and
virtues. (63, 22)
43. Verily I say to you that the
spirits of the just who dwell near God,
gained the right to occupy that place
by their own deeds, not because I
gave it to them; I only showed them
the way and at the end of it, I revealed
to them the reward.
44. Blessed are those who say to Me:
"Father, you are the way, the light that
illuminates it and the strength for the
traveler. You are the voice that
indicates the course and encourages
us along the journey and you are also
the reward for him who reaches the
end". Yes, My children, I am the life
and the resurrection of the dead. (63,
74 - 75)
45. Today the Father will not ask:
Who can and who is willing to rescue
the human race with their blood; nor
will Jesus answer: "Lord, I am the
Lamb willing to mark the path of
restitution for mankind with My
blood".
46. Nor shall I send My Word to be
made flesh in this era, that Era is past
for you, and it left its teaching and
elevation in your spirit. Now I have
opened a new stage in spiritual
advancement in which it shall be you
who earn merit. (80, 8 - 9)
47. I want you all to be happy, in
peace, and inhabiting the light so that
you may come to possess all, not only
through My love, but also through
your merits, for it is then that your
satisfaction and happiness will be
complete. (245, 34)
48. I came to show you the beauty of
a life higher than the human one, to
Chapter 31 - Redemption and Eternal Salvation
284
inspire you to elevated works, to teach
you the word that provides abundant
love, and proclaim to you the
unknown happiness, that which awaits
the spirit that has known how to climb
the mountain of sacrifice, of faith, and
love.
49. All of this you should recognize
in My Teaching, so that at last you
may understand it is your works that
bring your spirit closer to true
happiness. (287, 48 - 49)
50. If to go from one continent of the
earth to another you must cross high
and low mountains, seas, towns, cities
and countries to reach your journey's
destination, think that to reach the
Promised Land you must travel far, so
that in the long journey you gather
experience, knowledge, development,
and the evolution of the spirit. That
shall be the fruit of the tree of life,
which you shall finally taste after
having struggled and wept so much to
reach it. (287, 16)
51. You are children of the Father of
Light, yet if through your weakness
you have fallen into the darkness of a
life full of trouble, error, and tears,
these sorrows shall pass because you
will rise to My voice when I call to
you saying: "I am here, illuminating
your world and inviting you to scale
the mountain upon whose peak you
shall find all peace, happiness, and the
wealth that in vain you have sought to
gather on earth. (308, 5)
52. Each world, every dwelling
place, was created so that in it the
spirit would evolve and make a step
towards their Creator, and thus,
advancing more and more on the road
to perfection, someday arrive white,
clean and molded to the end of its
journey: the peak of spiritual
perfection, which is to inhabit the
Kingdom of God.
53. To whom does it seem
impossible to come to inhabit the
bosom of God? Oh, poor minds that
do not know how to reflect! Have you
already forgotten that you sprang
from My bosom? That you once
inhabited it? There is nothing strange,
that all that were born of the source of
life, return to it in due time.
54. Every spirit, upon being born of
Me, was pure, yet later in their road
many became stained; nonetheless, all
being foreseen by Me in a wise,
loving, and just way, I went ahead to
put all the means necessary for your
salvation and regeneration along the
road that My children must travel.
55. If that spiritual purity was
profaned by many beings, the day will
come in which they, purifying
themselves of all their faults,
reacquire their original purity, and
this purification will be very
meritorious in My eyes, for their spirit
will have achieved this through great
and incessant trials of their faith, their
love, their faithfulness, and their
patience.
56. You all will return along the road
of work, struggle, and pain to the
Kingdom of Light, from which you
Chapter 31 - Redemption and Eternal Salvation
285
will no longer have to be made flesh
in a human body, nor inhabit a
material world, for by then your
spiritual reach will permit you to
make your influence felt and send
your light from one world to another.
(313, 21 - 24)
The most Powerful Force for
Redemption
57. Here then is the pathway, come
through it and you will be saved.
Verily I say to you that it is not
necessary to have listened to Me
during this period to attain salvation;
everyone who during his existence
practices My Divine Law of love, that
love inspired in the Creator that
results in love toward his fellowman,
will be saved; He will give testimony
of Me in his life and with his deeds.
(63, 49)
58. If the sun radiates the light of life
over all nature, over all creatures, and
if the stars also radiate light to the
earth, why should the Divine Spirit
not radiate light over the spirit of
man?
59. I come now to tell you:
humanity, stop. Let the light of justice
that comes from love extend over all
the world. Let My truth persuade you
that without true love you will not
achieve salvation. (89, 34 - 35)
60. My light is for all My children,
not only for you who dwell in this
world, but also for spirits who inhabit
different mansions. All of them will
be liberated and resurrected to an
eternal life when, with their deeds of
love toward their brethren, they will
fulfill My Divine precept which asks
that you love one another. (65, 22)
61. Beloved people, this is the third
day in which I come to resuscitate My
word among the dead. This is the
Third Era, in which I appear to the
world in spiritual form to tell you: this
is the same Christ you saw expire on
the cross that now comes to speak to
you, because He lives, and shall live
and be forever.
62. In contrast, I see that men, in
spite of their religions that claim to be
telling the truth, bear hearts dead to
faith, and dead to love and light. They
believe that by praying in their
temples and attending their rites their
salvation is assured; yet, I tell you that
the world must know that salvation
can be reached only by the realization
of acts of love and charity.
63. The gathering places are only a
school, the religions must not be
satisfied to explain only the Law; they
must make sure that humanity
understands that life is the road along
which they must apply what they have
learned of the Divine Law, putting
My Doctrine of love into practice.
(152, 50 - 52)
64. Christ made himself man to
show Divine love to the world, but
men are hard of heart and stubborn,
they soon forget the lesson shown and
interpret it badly. I knew that
humanity would come to confuse
justice and love with vengeance and
Chapter 31 - Redemption and Eternal Salvation
286
punishment, that is why I announced a
time that I would return spiritually to
the world, to explain to humanity the
lessons that it had not understood.
65. The announced time, is that in
which you now live, and I have given
you My teaching to manifest My
Divine justice and wisdom as a
perfect lesson of the sublime love of
your God. Did you think I came out of
fear that men would destroy the works
of their Lord, or life itself? No, I
come only out of love for My
children, whom I wish to see filled
with light and peace.
66. Verily, is it not just that you too
come to Me only out of love? Yet, not
from love for yourselves, but for the
love of the Father and your brothers.
Do you believe that He who flees
from sin only from fear of torment, or
He who does good works thinking
only of the prize that He may achieve
upon conquering a place in eternity is
inspired by Divine love? He who
thinks like this does not know Me; He
does not come to Me out of love, but
works only out of love for himself.
(164, 35 - 37)
67. All My Law is condensed in two
precepts: Love of God, and love of
your fellow men: that is the road.
(234, 4)
Salvation and Redemption for each
Spirit
68. This time I have not come to
raise the dead in body, as I did with
Lazarus during the Second Era, today
My light comes to lift the spirits
which are the ones that belong to Me.
And these will arise with the truth of
My word to an eternal life, because
your spirit is the Lazarus which today
you carry within your being and
which I will resurrect and heal. (17,
52)
69. The Spiritual Realm is also
governed by laws, and when you part
from them, very soon you feel the
painful result of that disobedience.
70. Behold how great is My
yearning to save you; today, as during
that period, I shall carry the cross to
raise you toward the true life.
71. If My blood shed along Calvary
touched the heart of mankind and
converted them to My Doctrine,
during this period it will be My
Divine light that will shake the spirit
and the flesh to make you return
toward the true pathway.
72. I want those who have died to
the life of grace to live eternally; I do
not want your spirit to dwell in
darkness. (69, 9 - 10)
73. See how many of your brothers
await in the bosom of idolatry the
coming of the Messiah. See how
many, in their ignorance, believe that
I will come only to discharge My
justice upon the wicked, to save the
righteous, and destroy the world,
without knowing that I am among
men as Father, Master, Brother, and
Friend, full of love and humility,
extending My charity to save, bless,
and forgive all. (170, 23)
Chapter 31 - Redemption and Eternal Salvation
287
74. No one has been born by chance,
and as humble, awkward or small as
He believes himself to be, He has
been created by the grace of the
Supreme Being, who loves him as
much as other beings whom He
considers superior; He has a destiny
that will take him, like all others, to
the bosom of God.
75. Do you see those men who cross
the streets like outcasts, dragging
along their vice and misery, not
knowing who they are nor where they
are going? Do you know of men who
still dwell in jungles surrounded by
beasts? Not one of them is forgotten
by My charity; all of them have a
mission to fulfill, all of them possess
the origin of evolution and are in the
path where their merits, efforts and
struggles will guide the spirit step to
step, to Me.
76. Who is He who has not wished
for My peace, even if it were only for
an instant, longing to liberate himself
from this earthly life? Every spirit
feels nostalgia for the world that He
previously inhabited, for the home
where He was born. That world waits
for all of My children inviting them to
enjoy the eternal life that some wish
for, while others merely wait for
death, to cease to be, because they
bear a confused spirit and live without
hope and without faith. What can
encourage these beings to fight for
their regeneration? What can awake in
them the longing for eternity? They
only wait for the nonexistence, the
silence and the end.
77. However, the light of the world,
the way and the life have returned to
resurrect you with My forgiveness, to
caress your fatigued brow, to comfort
your heart and make the one who felt
unworthy of living listen to My voice,
which says to him: I love you, come
to Me! (80, 54 - 57)
78. Men may fall and sink into
darkness, and feel thereby distant
from Me, they may believe that when
they die all is finished for them; yet,
to Me, none die, and not one is lost.
79. How many there are who lived
as perverse beings in this world but
who today are filled with light! How
many who left in their wake the stain
of their sins, their vices, and their
crimes who have already achieved
purification. (287, 9 - 10)
80. It is true that many continue to
stain their spirits, but do not judge
them, for they do not know what they
do. I will also save them. It does not
matter that they have now forgotten
me or replaced me with false gods
that they have created in the world.
Them too I shall take to My
Kingdom, even if, because they now
follow false prophets, they have
forgotten the gentle Christ who gave
his live to teach them his doctrine of
love.
81. To the Father no one is evil; no
one can be evil because all were born
from me. I granted My children the
gift of free will, thus many of them
have chosen to be rebellious, violent,
blind, and commit mistakes.
Chapter 31 - Redemption and Eternal Salvation
288
However, all of them will become
spiritually enlightened, and My
charity will guide them along the path
of redemption. (54, 45 - 46)
82. All of you are My seed, and the
Master brings in the harvest; if among
the good seed there are weeds, I take
them with love between My hands to
transform them to golden wheat.
83. I see the seed of weeds in hearts,
and also muck and mire, and crime
and hatred; nonetheless, I gather them
all and love them. This seed I caress
and purify until it shines like wheat in
the sun.
84. Do you believe that the potency
of My love is unable to redeem you? I
will sow you after cleansing you, in
My garden, where you shall bear new
flowers and fruits. Within My Divine
project is the mission of dignifying
you. (256, 19 - 21)
85. How could I irredeemably lose a
spirit if it bears within it a ray of My
Light that can never be extinguished
and which is before it wherever it
goes? No matter how long its
stubbornness or confusion lasts, that
darkness will never be as enduring as
My eternity. (255, 60)
86. It is as worthy before Me that a
being stained with tracks of the most
grievous errors purifies itself inspired
by an elevated ideal, as that a being
who has persevered in purity has
struggled to the end to avoid stain
because it loved the light from the
beginning.
87. How distant from the truth are
those who believe that the disturbed
spirits are of a different nature from
those of the spirits of light!
88. The Father would be unjust if
that were true, just as He would cease
being the Almighty if He lacked the
wisdom and love to save those who
are stained, impure, or imperfect, and
if He were unable to reunite them in
one dwelling with the just. (295, 15 -
17)
89. Even those beings you call
demons or "tempters," I tell you truly
are nothing more than disturbed or
imperfect spirits of which the Father
makes wise use to bring about his
high designs and plans.
90. Yet, those beings, whose spirits
are today enveloped in darkness and
many of whom make evil use of the
gifts I have given them, shall be
brought to safety by Me in due time.
91. For the moment shall come, oh
Israel, when all the Lord's creatures
glorify Me for eternity. I would cease
to be God, if with My power, My
wisdom, and My love I could not save
one spirit. (302, 31)
92. When have parents on earth
loved only their good children and
detested their bad ones? How many
times have I seen you be tendered and
more solicitous precisely with those
who most offend you and make you
suffer? How could it be possible that
you perform works of love and
forgiveness greater than My own?
Chapter 31 - Redemption and Eternal Salvation
289
When has one seen the Master
needing to learn from his disciples?
93. Understand, therefore, that none
are judged unworthy of me, and so the
road to salvation is always inviting
you to follow it, just as the gates of
My Kingdom, which are light, peace,
and good, are permanently open in
readiness, awaiting the arrival of
those who have been far from the Law
and truth. (356, 18 - 19)
The Glorious Future of the
Children of God
94. I will not permit a single one of
My children to become confused nor
to be lost. I will convert those
parasitic plants into fruitful ones, for
all creatures have been created to
reach a perfect goal.
95. I want you to rejoice with Me in
My Work; previously, I have already
shared My attributes with you because
you are part of Me; If everything
belongs to Me, I also make you
owners of My Work. (9, 17 - 18)
96. Do not doubt My word; in the
First Era I fulfilled My promise to
liberate Israel from the slavery in
Egypt that symbolized idolatry and
darkness, to bring you to Canaan, a
land of freedom and worship of the
living God. There My coming as a
man was announced, and the
prophecy was fulfilled, word for
word, in Christ.
97. I, the Master who inhabited and
loved you in Jesus, promised the
world to speak to it in another time, to
manifest Myself in Spirit; here you
have the fulfillment of My promise.
98. Today I announce to you that I
have reserved for you marvelous
regions, dwellings, and spiritual
mansions where you can find the true
freedom to love, to do good, and to
extend My light. Can you doubt it,
after the fulfillment of My earlier
promises? (138, 10 - 11)
99. My Divine yearning is to save
you and carry you to a world of light,
beauty, and love where you will yearn
for the elevation of the spirit, the
nobility of the sentiments, and the
ideal of perfection. What is more, do
you not perceive in this Divine
yearning My love as Father?
Certainly, whoever cannot understand
this must be blind. (181, 13)
100. Look! All the galas of this
world are destined to disappear and
give way to others, but your spirit
shall continue to live forever and shall
behold the Father in all his splendor:
the Father from whose bosom you
sprang. All that is created must return
to the place it came from. (147, 9)
101. I am the light, the peace, and
eternal happiness, and as you are My
children, I both wish to, and must,
make you participants in My glory,
and that is why I teach you the Law as
the road that leads the spirit to the
heights of that Kingdom. (263, 36)
102. Keep always in mind that the
spirit that reaches the high grades of
Chapter 31 - Redemption and Eternal Salvation
290
goodness, wisdom, purity, and love, is
beyond time, pain, and distances. It is
not limited to inhabiting one place, for
it can be everywhere, and find in all a
supreme delight in existing, in feeling,
in knowing, in loving and knowing it
is loved. That is the heaven of the
spirit. (146, 70 - 71)
My peace be with you !
291
VIII. Human Beings
Chapter 32 – Incarnation, Nature, and Duties of Human Beings
Incarnation on Earth
1. When one of your loved ones
departs for the spiritual valley you
weep instead of being filled with
peace, realizing that He is getting one
step closer toward his Lord. On the
other hand, you celebrate when a new
baby comes to your home without
realizing at that moment that the spirit
has come to fulfill a restitution in this
valley of tears. It is then when you
should weep for that spirit. (52, 28)
2. You bear children of your flesh,
but I am He who distributes the spirits
in families, in peoples, in nations, in
worlds, and in such justice
impenetrable for men, My love is
manifested. (67, 26)
3. You live in the present, and do not
know what I have destined for your
future. I am preparing a great legion
of spiritual beings, which shall have
to come to inhabit the earth on a
delicate mission, and it is necessary
that you know that many of you will
be parents of these children in whom
My envoys are made flesh. Your duty
is to prepare yourselves to receive and
guide them. (128, 8)
4. I would like to speak to you much
of spiritual teachings, but you would
not yet understand them. If I revealed
to you, the dwelling places to which
you had descended on the earth, you
would not be able to conceive how
you lived in such places.
5. Today, you can deny knowing the
spiritual valley, because I have closed
to your spirit, being incarnated, its
past so that you do not presume,
succumb, nor become dejected when
confronted with your new existence,
which should begin like a new life.
6. Even if you should wish to, you
could not remember; I concede to you
only the conservation of a thought or
intuition that I reveal to you so that
you persevere in the struggle and
consent when faced with trials.
7. You may doubt all that I tell you,
yet that valley was truly your dwelling
place when you were a spirit. You
were dwellers in the mansion in which
you did not know pain, in which you
felt the glory of the Father in your
being, for there was no stain in it.
8. Nonetheless, you had earned no
merits; it was necessary that you leave
heaven and descend to the world so
that your spirit, by its own efforts,
conquers that Kingdom.
9. Yet, little by little you descended
morally until you felt very far from
the Divine and the spiritual, from your
origin. (114, 35 - 36)
10. When the spirit arrives on earth,
it comes animated with the best
intentions of consecrating its
existence to the Father, of pleasing
Chapter 32 – Incarnation, Nature, and Duties of Human Beings
292
him in all things, and of being useful
to his fellow men.
11. But once imprisoned in the
material, tempted and tried in a
thousand different ways during the
journey, it weakens, cedes to the
impulses of the flesh and its
temptations, becomes selfish, finishes
loving itself above all things, and only
at moments listens to its conscience,
where its destiny, and the promises,
are written.
12. My word helps you to remember
your spiritual pact and to overcome
the temptations and obstacles.
13. None can say that they have
never strayed from the path I have
traced for them, but I forgive you so
that you can learn to forgive your
brothers. (245, 47 - 48)
14. A great spiritual lesson is
necessary to make man walk the road
according to the voice of his
conscience, for the material world that
surrounds him. In spite of all being
saturated with Divine love, and being
wisely constructed for the good and
the happiness of man, it constitutes a
test for the spirit from the instant that
it comes to inhabit a world it does not
belong to, united to a body whose
nature is different from its own.
15. There you can find the cause for
the spirit forgetting its past. From the
instant it is made flesh in an
unconscious, newly born creature, and
fuses to it, it begins a joint life
together with that being.
16. Of the spirit there remain only
two attributes present: the conscience,
and intuition, but the personality, the
works performed, and the past, are
temporarily hidden. Thus has it been
decided by the Father.
17. What would become of the spirit
that comes from the light of a higher
dwelling, to dwell among the miseries
of this world, if it remembered its
past? And how many vanities there
would be among men if the greatness
that existed in their spirits in another
[former] life were revealed to them!
(237, 18 - 19)
The Real Value of the Body, and its
Guiding by the Spirit
18. I do not tell you to purify only
your spirits, but also to strengthen
your physical body so that the new
generations which come from you
might be healthy, and their spirits will
be able to fulfill their delicate
missions. (51, 59)
19. Be careful of the health of your
body, seek its protection and
strengthening. My Doctrine counsels
you to have charity with your spirit
and your body, for both are
complementary, and need each other
for the delicate spiritual fulfillment
that is entrusted to them. (92, 75)
20. Do not give your body a greater
importance than it really has, nor
allow it to occupy the place that only
corresponds to your spirit.
21. Understand that the physical
body is only the instrument that you
need so that the spirit manifests
himself on earth. (62, 22 - 23)
Chapter 32 – Incarnation, Nature, and Duties of Human Beings
293
22. See how this doctrine is for the
spirit, for while the material shell
comes every day closer to the bosom
of the earth, the spirit, in contrast,
comes ever closer to eternity.
23. The body is the support in which
the spirit rests while it inhabits the
earth. Why let it become a chain that
limits or imprisons you? Why allow it
to be the guiding force of your life? Is
it right for the blind to guide one who
has sight in his eyes ? (126, 15 - 16)
24. This teaching is simple, as is all
that is pure, Divine, and for that
reason, easy to comprehend. Yet, to
put it in practice at times will seem
difficult to you, the works of the spirit
require efforts, renunciation, and
sacrifice on the part of your body, and
when you lack education or spiritual
discipline, you must suffer.
25. From the beginning of time, a
struggle has existed between the
spiritual and the material in trying to
comprehend what is just, and what is
right and good, in order to create a life
in conformity with the Law presented
by God.
26. In the midst of that battle, it
seems as though a strange and
malevolent force is inducing you at
each step to distance yourselves from
the struggle, inviting you to continue
on the path of materialism in use of
your free will.
27. I tell you that there is no more
temptation than the weakness of your
body, it is sensitive to that which
surrounds it, and quick to give in,
easy to fall and surrender; yet He who
has managed to dominate his
impulses, passions, and the
weaknesses of the flesh, has
conquered the temptation that He
bears within himself. (271, 49 - 50)
28. The earth is a battlefield, there is
much to learn; were it otherwise, a
few years of life on this planet would
be enough and you would not be sent
to reincarnate again and again. There
is no tomb darker and gloomier for
the spirit than its own body, if in it
there is scum and materialism.
29. My word raises you from that
tomb, and then gives you wings so
that you may take flight to the regions
of peace and spiritual light. (213, 24 -
25)
The Importance of the Spirit and
the Conscience of Man
30. The body could live without a
spirit, animated only by the material
life, but it would not be a human. It
could possess a spirit and be lacking
in conscience, but it could not be
guided by itself, nor would it be the
superior being who by means of the
conscience, knows the Law,
distinguishes good from evil and
receives every Divine revelation. (59,
56)
31. Let it be the conscience that
illuminates the spirit and the spirit,
which guides the flesh. (71, 9)
32. While some in the world pursue
false greatness, others say that man is
an insignificant creature before God,
Chapter 32 – Incarnation, Nature, and Duties of Human Beings
294
and there are those who compare
themselves to a worm in the soil.
Certainly, your material form in the
midst of Creation may seem small to
you, but for Me, it is not, due to the
wisdom and power with which you
were created by me.
33. How can you judge the
dimensions of your being by the size
of your body? Can you not feel the
presence of your spirit? It is bigger
than your body, its existence is
eternal, its road infinite, of its
development you can not see either its
end or its beginning. I do not wish
you small. I formed you to achieve
greatness. Do you know when I see
man as small? When He is lost in sin,
for it is then that He has lost his
nobility and dignity.
34. It has been a long time since you
are not with Me, since you ignore in
reality who you are, for you have
allowed many attributes to sleep
within your being, powers and gifts
that your Creator deposited in you.
You are asleep to your spirit and your
conscience, and it is in precisely those
spiritual attributes that the spiritual
greatness of men is founded. You
imitate the beings of this world
because in it they are born and die.
(85, 56 - 57)
35. With My word of love I
demonstrate to you the value that your
spirit has to Me. Nothing exists in
material creation that is greater than
your spirit: not the sun with its light,
nor the earth with all its marvels, nor
is there any other creature greater than
the spirit I have given you, for it is a
particle of the Divine, it is the flame
that springs from the Divine Spirit.
36. After God, only the spirits
possess spiritual intelligence,
conscience, and free will.
37. Above the instincts and
inclinations of the flesh, there rises a
light that is your spirit, and above that
light, a guide, a book, and a judge,
which is the conscience. (86, 68)
38. Humanity, in its materialism,
asks Me: “Can it be true that the
Kingdom of the Spirit exists?” and I
answer: Oh, unbelievers, you are the
Thomases of the Third Era. To feel
pity, compassion, tenderness,
kindness, or nobility are not attributes
of the material, nor are the graces and
gifts that you carry hidden within you.
All those sentiments that you bear
engraved in your hearts and minds, all
those powers, are from the spirit, and
you must not deny it. The flesh is a
limited instrument, but the spirit is
not. It is great because it is an atom of
God.
39. Seek the mansion of the spirit in
the depths of your being, and the great
wisdom in the greatness of love. (147,
21 - 22)
40. Truly I tell you that from the first
days of humanity, man has had the
intuition that within He bore a
spiritual being, a being which, though
invisible, manifested itself in the
various works of his life.
41. From time to time, your Lord has
revealed the existence of the spirit, its
existence, and its arcane, for even
Chapter 32 – Incarnation, Nature, and Duties of Human Beings
295
though you bear it within you, the veil
that the material wraps you in is so
dense, that you cannot come to see
that which is most noble and pure in
your being.
42. Many are the truths that men
have dared deny. Nonetheless, belief
in the existence of a spirit has not
been one of the most fought against,
for man has felt and has come to
understand that to deny the spirit is
like denying your very self.
43. Human matter, when it has
degenerated because of its passions,
its vices, and its materialism, becomes
a chain, a blindfold of darkness, a
prison, and an obstacle to the
development of the spirit. In spite of
this, you have never lacked an interior
ray of light to help you in your
moments of testing.
44. Truly I tell you, the purest and
most elevated expression of the spirit
is the conscience: the Divine interior
light that makes it the first, the
greatest, and the most noble of all the
creatures that surround it. (170, 56 -
60)
45. To all the people I say: the
highest and most beautiful title that
man possesses is that of “Child of
God,” though it is necessary that it be
merited.
46. That is the purpose of the Law
and the Teachings: to inspire you in
the learning of My truth so that you
may be worthy children of the Divine
Father who is the sum of perfection.
(267, 53)
47. You know that you were created
in My image and likeness, and when
you say it, you think of your human
form. I say to you that your likeness
to God is not physical but spiritual. In
order to liken yourself to me you must
perfect yourself by practicing deeds of
virtue.
48. I am the Way, the Truth, and the
Life, I am justice and goodness, all of
which proceeds from Divine love. Do
you now understand how you should
be in order to be in My image and
likeness? (31, 51 - 52)
49. In you there is a reflection of the
Divine; in truth, you bear Me. The
intelligence, the will, the powers,
senses, and virtues you possess, speak
of an essence superior to that to which
you belong, and are a living testament
of the Father from whom you sprang.
50. At times the image of Me that
you carry within, you manage to stain
and profane with disobedience and
sin. In that you are not like Me, for it
is not enough to have a human body
and a spirit to be the image of the
Creator; your true resemblance to Me
is in your light and your love for all
your fellow men. (225, 23 – 24)
51. I made you in My form and
image, and if I am the Trinity in One,
then in you too exists the trinity.
52. Your material body represents
the creation in its formation and
perfect harmony. Your incarnated
spirit is an image of the Divine Word
that was made man to trace a path of
love for men in the world, and your
Chapter 32 – Incarnation, Nature, and Duties of Human Beings
296
conscience is a radiant spark of the
Divine light of the Holy Spirit. (220,
11 - 12)
53. What merit would your spirit
achieve acting in a material body,
without free will and sensuous
tendencies? The struggle of the spirit
with its material body is one of power
against power. In that crucible the
spirit must test its superiority and its
elevation. That is the trial where the
spirit has often succumbed
momentarily to the temptations of the
flesh. The power exerted over the
spirit is so strong that it seems that a
supernatural and evil power was
dragging it toward the abyss causing it
to be lost in the passions.
54. How great is the responsibility of
the spirit before God! The flesh is not
bound by this responsibility; notice
how once dead, the flesh will forever
rest on earth. When will you achieve
enough merits that will make your
spirit worthy of living in dwellings
which are more perfect than the one in
which you now live?
55. The world offers you crowns that
only speak of vanity, of arrogance,
and of false greatness. To the spirit
that knows how to disregard those
vanities, another crown is reserved in
the hereafter, that of My wisdom. (53,
9 - 11)
56. Life should manifest itself first
in the spirit, then in the flesh. How
many beings have dwelled on earth,
but how few of them were spiritually
alive and have manifested their
spiritual grace to humanity, that
Divine Spark given to man by the
Creator.
57. If men can maintain transparency
in their consciences, through them
they shall be able to contemplate their
pasts, their presents, and their futures.
58. The spirit is similar to My
arcane, and oh, how much is
contained in that! At every step, and
in every instant there is something to
reveal to you, manifestations at times
so profound that they are
incomprehensible to you.
59. That spark of light that exists in
each human is the tie that unites man
to the spiritual; it is that which puts
him in contact with the beyond and
with his Father. (201, 37 - 40)
60. Oh, if only your material form
could take in that which your spirit
receives through clairvoyance. For the
spirit never ceases to see, even when
the body, because of its material
nature, perceives nothing. When will
you know how to interpret your spirit?
(266, 11)
61. You, who do not love life
because you regard it as cruel, as long
as you do not recognize the
importance of the conscience in man
or allow yourself to be guided by it,
you will find nothing of real value.
62. It is the conscience which
elevates the spirit toward a superior
life above the flesh and its passions.
Spirituality will enable you to feel the
great love of God, when you succeed
Chapter 32 – Incarnation, Nature, and Duties of Human Beings
297
in practicing it; then you will
understand the importance of life, you
will contemplate its beauty and will
find its wisdom. Then, you will surely
understand why I have called it LIFE.
63. After knowing and
understanding this teaching, who will
dare reject it, saying that it is not the
truth?
64. When you understand that within
the conscience is your true value, you
will live in harmony with everything
created by your Father.
65. Then, the conscience will
beautify the poor human life, but first
it will be necessary for man to
withdraw from all passions which
separate him from God, in order to
follow the path of justice and wisdom.
That will be the beginning of the true
life for you, this life which today you
regard with indifference, because you
do not realize what you are despising
nor imagine its perfection. (11, 44 -
48)
The Temple of God in Man
66. The concept that humanity has of
Me is infantile, because they do not
know how to penetrate the revelations
that I have ceaselessly given them.
For He who knows how to prepare, I
am visible and tangible, and present
everywhere; in contrast, for He who
does not possess sensibility because
materialism has hardened him, He
barely understands that I exist, and
feels Me to be immensely distant, and
impossible to be felt or seen in any
form.
67. It is necessary that man knows
that He bears Me within himself, that
in his spirit and in the light of his
conscience He has the presence of the
Divine. (83, 50 - 51)
68. The pain that weighs down the
men of this Era is leading them step
by step, without realizing it, to the
doors of the inner sanctuary, before
which, unable to go further, they will
ask: “Lord, where are you?” And
from the interior of the temple the
sweet voice of the Master will answer,
“Here I am, where I have always
dwelled, in your conscience.” (104,
50)
69. You were born in Me; you took
both spiritual and material life from
the Father, and in a figurative sense,
at the moment you were born in Me, I
was born in you.
70. I am born in your conscience, I
grow with your evolution, and I
manifest Myself fully in your works
of love, so that you will say full of
pleasure: “The Lord is with me.”
(138, 68 - 69)
71. Today, as beginning students,
you are not always able to
comprehend My teachings. For now,
speak to God with your heart and
mind and He will respond to you deep
within your being. You will hear his
message in your conscience. It will be
a clear, wise, and loving voice that
you will gradually discover and
become accustomed to hearing. (205,
47)
Chapter 32 – Incarnation, Nature, and Duties of Human Beings
298
72. I must raise the church of the
Holy Spirit in the hearts of My
disciples in this Third Era. There God
the Creator, the strong God, the God
made man in the Second Era, the God
of infinite wisdom, will make his
dwelling. He lives in you, but if you
wish to hear and feel the echo of his
word, you must prepare.
73. Who does good, feels My
presence within them, just as does He
who is humble, or who sees his
brother in every one of his fellow
men.
74. In your spirit exists the temple of
the Holy Spirit. That enclosure is
indestructible, there are no strong
winds or hurricanes that are capable
of destroying it; it is invisible and
intangible to the gaze of humans; its
columns are the desire to overcome
yourself with goodness, its dome is
the grace that the Father pours out
over his children, and its doors: the
love of the Divine Mother, for all who
knock at My door are touching the
heart of the Celestial Mother.
75. Here, disciples, is the truth of the
church of the Holy Spirit, so that you
be not of those who become confused
by false interpretations. The temples
of marble were but a symbol, and of
them, not one stone will be left upon
another.
76. I wish that in your interior altar
the flame of faith burn always, and
that you understand that with your
works, you are building the
foundations where one day a great
sanctuary will stand. I hold all
humanity on trial and in preparation
within their diverse ideas, for to all I
will give a part in the construction of
My temple. (148, 44 - 48)
My peace be with you !

Chapter 33 – Men and Women, Parents and Children,
Family and Marriage
The Relationship between Man and
Woman
1. Before you arrived on earth, I
already knew your way and your
inclinations, and to help you in your
journey, I put in your path a heart that
by its love for you would illuminate
your road. The heart may be that of a
man or a woman. Thus I have wished
to help you so that you may serve as a
staff of faith, moral force, and charity
for the needy. (256, 55)
2. I wanted you to participate in the
joy of being parents, to create beings
similar to yourselves, beings to whom
I would send spirits to incarnate.
Since maternal love exists in the
Divine and eternal, I wanted there to
exist in the human life a being who
would represent it, and that being is
the woman.
3. In the beginning the human being
was divided into two parts, thus
creating the two sexes, one the man
and the other the woman. He would
have strength, intelligence and
majesty; the woman would have
tenderness, grace, and beauty. The
man as the seed, and the woman the
fertile land. There you have two
beings who can feel complete, perfect,
and happy only when they are united,
for with their harmony they will form
one single body, one single will, and
one single ideal.
4. This union, when inspired by the
conscience and by love, is called
matrimony.
5. Truly I say to you: I see that in
this time man and woman have
deviated from their path.
6. I discover men who forsake their
responsibilities, women who flee from
their maternity and others who invade
the fields predestined for man, when
since ancient times you were told that
the man is the head of the woman.
7. Not because of that should the
woman feel scorned, for today I say to
you that the woman is the heart of the
man.
8. That is why I have instituted and
sanctified matrimony, because in the
union of those two beings, spiritually
equal but corporeally different, a
perfect condition prevails. (66, 68 -
69)
9. How few are those who aspire to
live in the paradise of peace, light,
and harmony, lovingly obeying the
Divine laws.
10. Humanity has traveled over a
very long path, and it still prefers to
eat the forbidden fruits, which only
accumulate sorrow and
disappointment in its life. The
forbidden fruits are those which,
while being good because they have
been created by God, can become
harmful to man if He has not properly
prepared himself, or if He consumes
them excessively.
Chapter 33 – Men and Women, Parents and Children, Family and Marriage
300
11. Man and woman take the fruit of
life without preparation, unaware of
their responsibility before the Creator
when they bring new beings to
incarnate on earth. (34, 12 - 14)
12. Some ask Me: “Lord, by chance,
is human love wrong and abominable
in your sight? Do you only approve of
spiritual love?”
13. No people, it is true that to the
spirit correspond the highest and
purest loves, but in the flesh I also
deposited a heart to love with, and I
gave it senses so that through them
you may love what surrounds you.
14. That love that rests only in the
material is characteristic of the
irrational beings, because they lack a
conscience that illuminates their
paths; on the other hand, I tell you
that good unions must bring forth
good fruits, and incarnate in them
spirits of light. (127, 7 - 8 and 10)
15. I have not come to ask
superhuman sacrifices of you: neither
have I asked that men cease being
men to follow me, nor that women
cease being women to fulfill a
spiritual mission. I have not separated
the husband from his wife, nor the
wife from her husband to serve Me,
nor to parents have I said to abandon
their children and cease working to
follow Me.
16. To one and all, upon converting
them to laborers in My fields, I have
made them understand that by being
My servants, they do not cease to be
human, and therefore must know to
give to God what is God’s, and to the
world what is of the world. (133, 55 -
56)
The Nature and Duty of the Man
17. To you men, I have granted a
heritage, a treasure, a woman of
whom you are the overseers, in order
to love and preserve her. And
nevertheless, your companion has
come to present her complaints and
tears to Me, because of your lack of
understanding.
18. I have said that you are strong,
that you have been created in My
image and likeness, but I have not
sent you to humiliate the woman and
make her your slave.
19. I have given you strength, so that
you may represent Me in your home;
strong in virtue, in talent, and I have
given you a woman as a companion
and as a complement in your earthly
life, so that you may find fortitude to
withstand the ordeals and vicissitudes
through the love of both. (6, 61)
20. Think, men, how many times
have you made virtuous women fall
into your net, finding in them the
sensitive and weak spots; and those
mirrors formerly clean, and now
without their luster, you must make
them reflect once again the clarity and
beauty of their spirits.
21. Why do you today deprecate the
same that yesterday you induced to
perdition? Why do you complain of
the degeneration of women?
Understand that if you had led them
on the path of My Law, which is the
Chapter 33 – Men and Women, Parents and Children, Family and Marriage
301
law of the heart and the conscience, of
respect and charity, loving them with
a love that elevates instead of the
passion that degrades, you would not
now have reason to cry and complain,
and they would not have fallen.
22. Men seek and demand that
women have virtues and beauty; why
do you demand what you do not
deserve?
23. I see that you still believe
yourselves to have great merits, in
spite of falling short in them.
Reconstruct with your works, words,
and thoughts what you have
destroyed, giving honesty, morals,
and virtue the value that is theirs.
24. If you strive in this way, men,
you will have helped Jesus in his
work of salvation, and your hearts
will feel joy when you contemplate
the homes honored by good wives and
worthy mothers. Your happiness will
be great when you see virtue return to
those who had lost it.
25. Redemption is for everyone.
Why should not even the most sinful
be saved? For that reason I tell you:
Men, work with Me to save those you
have led to perdition, encouraging
them with the light of My Doctrine,
and make My loving thoughts come to
their minds and hearts. Bring them
My messages in the hospitals and
prisons, even in the places of mire, for
it is there that they cry in repentance
and pain for not having been strong
when the world with its temptations
dragged them toward perversion.
26. Every woman was once a little
girl, every woman was once a virgin,
and so you can reach their hearts on
the path of sensitivity.
27. To the men who have not
tarnished these virtues, I will entrust
this task. Remember that I have told
you: “By your works you shall be
known.” Let the spirit speak through
the material form.
28. However, to those who have not
known how to respect the graces
deposited by Me in that being, I tell
you: Why say that you love, when it is
not love that you feel? Why try to
make others fall letting nothing stop
you? Think, what would your heart
feel if what you do with those plucked
flowers were done with your mother,
your sister, or with a woman you love,
and therefore, respect? Have you ever
thought of the wounds you cause to
the parents who raised their daughters
with great love?
29. Ask your heart in a true
examination in the light of your
conscience if you can reap what you
have not sown.
30. How can you prepare your future
life if you are wounding your fellow
men and women? How many victims
will you have? What ending will you
have? Truly I tell you, that you have
sacrificed many victims to the
whirlwind of your passions, some of
whom belong to your present, and
others to your past.
31. I desire that the heart and lips
that have been a nest of perfidy and
lies become a nest of truth and chaste
love.
32. Illuminate the paths of others by
word and example so that you may be
Chapter 33 – Men and Women, Parents and Children, Family and Marriage
302
the saviors of fallen women. Oh, if
only each of you would redeem just
one!
33. Do not speak badly of that
woman; the offensive word that
wounds one, wounds all who hear it,
because from that instant all become
unfit judges.
34. Respect the actions and secrets
of others, for it is not for you to judge
them. I prefer to raise men fallen in
sin, over hypocrites who appear pure,
but sin. I prefer a sincere great sinner
to the false pretense of virtue. If you
wish to adorn yourselves, let it be
with adornments of sincerity.
35. If you find a virtuous woman of
high sentiment, and you feel unworthy
of her although you love her, and then
speak badly of her and deprecate her,
and if after suffering and
understanding your error you seek her
for consolation, in vain will you call
at her door.
36. If every woman who has passed
through the life of a single man had
received from him the word and the
feelings of love, respect, and
understanding, your world would not
now be at the height of sin in which it
finds itself. (235, 18 - 32)
Woman, Wife, and Mother
37. Women, it is you who with your
prayer protect what little peace there
is in the world, and who as faithful
guardians of the home take care that it
does not lack the warmth of love. In
this way you unite with Mary, to
break human arrogance. (130, 53)
38. You women who water the roads
of this world with your tears, and who
with your blood mark your passage
through this life: Rest in Me to
recover new strength and to continue
being the bearers of love, the fire of
the hearth, and the solid foundation of
the home that I have entrusted to you
on earth. So that you may continue
being like a mother bird, spreading
her wings to protect her husband and
children, I bless you.
39. I exalt the man, and the place of
the woman at his right. I sanctify
marriage and bless the family.
40. In this Era I come with a sword
of love to put all things in their places,
for men had put them elsewhere. (217,
29 - 31)
41. Truly I tell you that the
regeneration of humanity must begin
with the women, so that their fruit,
which are the men of tomorrow, are
found free of the stains that have led
them to degeneration.
42. Then, it will correspond to men
to do their part in this work of
reconstruction, for all who have
corrupted a woman, must regenerate
her.
43. Today I have inspired you to
save the woman who has stumbled on
her path, and when you present her to
Me whom you have saved, I will give
her a flower, a blessing, and very
great peace so that she will not fall
again.
44. If you fulfill this mission in this
way, those beings wounded by the
Chapter 33 – Men and Women, Parents and Children, Family and Marriage
303
world will feel the love of Jesus enter
their hearts.
45. I shall listen when in their
prayers they tell Me: “My Father, do
not see My sin, see only My pain; do
not judge My ingratitude, but see My
suffering.” In that instant My comfort
will descend to that troubled heart,
and it will be purified by its tears. Oh,
If you only knew how much more the
prayer of the sinner is felt than that of
the vain who believe themselves just
and clean. (235, 16 - 17 and 43 - 45)
46. Of the love with which I have
given you life, men give little sign or
evidence. Of all human emotions, that
which comes closest to the Divine
love is maternal love, for in it is
disinterest, abnegation, and the ideal
of seeking the happiness of the child
even at the cost of sacrifice. (242, 39)
47. And to you, sterile women, the
Master says, long have you desired
and asked that your wombs be
converted into fountains of life. You
have hoped that when the evening or
the morning approaches, a tender
heart would be heard beating within
you. But the days and nights have
passed and you have only shed tears
because the child has not arrived to
call at your door.
48. How many of you who are
listening to Me, and who have been
deprived of hope by science, will have
to bear fruit to believe in My power.
Thus, through that miracle many may
recognize Me! Watch and wait. Do
not forget My words. (38, 42 - 43)
The Education of Children and
Adolescents
49. Parents: Avoid mistakes and bad
examples. I do not demand perfection
of you, only love and charity toward
your children. Prepare yourselves
spiritually and physically, for the
great legions of spirits from the
beyond await the instant to incarnate
among you.
50. I want a new humanity which
will grow and multiply, not only in
number but in virtue, so that it may
become aware of the Promised Land
nearby, and its children might be able
to live in the New Jerusalem.
51. I want the earth to be filled with
men of good will who are the fruits of
love.
52. Destroy the Sodom and
Gomorrah of this time. Do not allow
your hearts to become familiar with
their sins, nor do imitate their
inhabitants. (38, 44 - 47)
53. Devotedly guide your children.
Teach them to obey the spiritual and
the material laws; and if they break
them, correct them, for you as parents
represent Me on earth. Therefore,
remember Jesus, who filled with holy
anger, gave the merchants of
Jerusalem a lesson for all times,
defending the Divine cause, the
unchangeable laws. (41, 57)
54. Today you have ceased to be
children and you can now understand
the essence of My teachings; you also
know that your spirit was not born
with the physical body you possess,
Chapter 33 – Men and Women, Parents and Children, Family and Marriage
304
and that the beginning of one is not of
the other. Those children whom you
rock in your arms, carry innocence in
their heart, but in their spirit they hold
a past at times much larger and
difficult then that of their parents
themselves. How great a
responsibility there is for those who
must cultivate those hearts so that
their spirit attains progress along the
road!
55. Not because of this, should you
feel lesser love for your children.
Think that you do not know who they
are nor what they have done; rather,
increase for them your charity and
love and be grateful to your Father for
having placed in you His mercy to
convert you into guides and
counselors of your spiritual brothers,
whose bodies you become parents of
by blood. (6, 31 - 32)
56. I say to parents of families, that
in the same manner that they worry
about the material future of their
children, they should also do so for
their spiritual future, because of the
mission which in that sense they have
brought into the world. (81, 64)
57. Understand that when the spirit
is made flesh, it brings with it all its
gifts, that its destiny is already
written, and therefore it need receive
nothing in the world. It brings a
message or restitution. At times, it
comes to gather a harvest, and other
times to pay a debt, but always it
comes to receive in this life a lesson
of the love its Father gives it.
58. You who are guiding your
children through this life, once they
are past the age of innocence, put
them on the road of My Law, awaken
their sentiments, reveal to them their
gifts, and induce them always to the
good; and truly I tell you, who in this
way comes to Me shall be bathed in
the light that springs from the Divine
fire, which is My love. (99, 64 - 65)
59. Spiritually, you have traveled a
long road, and now you are surprised
by the intuition and the development
that the new generations show from
their most tender infancy, because
they are spirits that have lived much
and now return to walk at the front of
humanity; some on the paths of the
spirit, and others on the roads of the
world according to their gifts and their
mission. Yet, in all of them, humanity
will find peace. The beings of which I
speak, will be your children. (220, 14)
60. Do you think that confronted
with a bad example, by a vice - ridden
or evil parent on earth, the child
commits an error in not continuing in
that way of living? Or do you believe
that the child is obliged to follow in
the steps of his parents?
61. Truly I tell you, it must be the
conscience and reason that guide you
on the straight path. (271, 33 - 34)
62. Blessed innocence is
contaminated with the evil of the
world, youth runs a dizzying race, and
the young women have quitted
themselves of their modesty, their
Chapter 33 – Men and Women, Parents and Children, Family and Marriage
305
chastity, and their honesty; all these
virtues have parted from their hearts;
they have fed the worldly passions,
and yearn only for those pleasures that
lead them to the abyss.
63. I come to speak to you with all
clarity so that you rise up and make a
firm step in the evolution of your
spirit. (344, 48)
64. Ignite in youth the love of their
fellowmen; inspire in them great and
noble ideals, for it will be they who
tomorrow fight for an existence in
which justice, love, and the sacred
liberty of the spirit shine. Prepare
yourselves all, for the great battle of
which the prophecies have spoken,
has not yet arrived. (139, 12)
A Word to the Girls and Young
Women
65. All spirits have in Me a Divine
Father and if I have endowed you
with human parents during your
physical life, it is to give life to your
body and to represent your Heavenly
Father near you. I have said to you:
‘Love God above everything created”
and I have added: “Honor your Father
and your mother.” Therefore, do not
neglect your responsibilities; if you
have not recognized the love of your
parents and you still have them in this
world, bless them and acknowledge
their merits. (9, 19)
66. On this day I am talking
especially to the young women, those
who tomorrow will have to illuminate
the life of a new home with their
presence; you should know that the
heart of a wife and mother are the
lamps that illuminate that sanctuary,
just as the spirit illuminates your inner
temple.
67. Prepare yourselves now, so that
your new life does not surprise you;
from this moment go forth preparing
the path to be traveled by your
children: those spirits who await the
hour to approach your womb and take
human life and form to fulfill their
missions on earth.
68. Be My collaborators in My plans
for restoration, and in My work of
regeneration and justice.
69. Distance yourselves from the
many temptations that beset your path
in this era. Pray for the sinful cities
where so many women are lost, where
so many sanctuaries are profaned, and
so many lamps extinguished.
70. Extend by your example the seed
of life, truth, and light that counteract
the lack of spirituality in humanity.
71. Pure young women of this
people, awaken and prepare
yourselves for the battle. Do not be
blinded by the passions of the heart
nor dazzled by what is not real.
Develop your gifts of intuition and
inspiration, as well as your tenderness
and sensitivity; strengthen yourselves
in the truth, and you will have
prepared your best weapons for facing
the struggle this life presents.
72. So that you may transmit the
love in your blood, so that you may
sustain your children with the love of
which I speak to you so much, you
must first live it, saturate yourselves
Chapter 33 – Men and Women, Parents and Children, Family and Marriage
306
in it, and feel it deeply. That is what
My teaching comes to do in your
heart. (307, 31 - 36)
Marriage and Family
73. The law of matrimony descended
like a light which spoke through the
conscience of the first beings, so that
they would recognize that the union of
one with the other signified a pact
with the Creator. The fruit of that
union was the child in whom the
blood of the parents was blended as
proof that what you bind before God
can not be unbound on earth.
74. That joy which the Father and
the mother feel when they give birth
to a child, is similar to that which the
Creator experienced when He became
a Father, giving life to his much
beloved children. If later I delivered
laws to you through Moses so that
you would know how to select a
partner and would not covet the wife
of your neighbor, it was because
humanity, by virtue of its free will,
had become lost in the ways of
adultery and passions.
75. Time passed; I came to the world
in Christ, and with My gentle
teaching, which is always the law of
love, I elevated matrimony and with
it, human virtue. I spoke in parables in
order to make My word unforgettable,
and I made a sacred institution of
matrimony.
76. Now that I am among you again,
I ask you, men and women: what have
you done to marriage? How few there
are who can answer satisfactorily. My
sacred institution has been profaned,
and from that fountain of life springs
pain and death. Upon the purity of
that law are the tracks and stains of
men and women. The fruit that should
have been sweet is bitter, and the cup
from which men drink is of gall.
77. You deviate from My laws, and
when you stumble, you ask in anguish
"Why is there such pain?" It is
because the instincts of the flesh have
never listened to the voice of the
conscience. Now I ask you: Why do
you not have peace, when I have
given you all that is necessary for
happiness?
78. I have placed a blue mantle in
the sky so that beneath it you may
build your nest of love, separating
yourselves from the temptations and
complications of the world, living in
simplicity as do the birds, for in
simplicity and in pure prayer, one can
feel the peace of My kingdom and
receive the revelations of many
Mysteries.
79. Everyone who is united in
matrimony before My Divinity, even
when their union is not sanctioned by
any minister, makes a pact with Me, a
pact which remains recorded in the
book of God, where all destinies are
written.
80. Who can erase from that book
the names of those two who have
been united? Who in the world can
unbind that which has been united in
My law?
81. If I were to disunite you, I would
be destroying My own work. When
you have asked me to be united on
earth, and I have granted it to you,
Chapter 33 – Men and Women, Parents and Children, Family and Marriage
307
why do you then break your promises
and deny your vows? Is it not that you
are ridiculing My law and My name?
(38, 32 - 37 and 39 - 41)
82. I have spoken to the heart of the
woman, wife, and mother who has not
known how to maintain the
cleanliness of her heart, nor to give to
her companion and their children the
warmth of tenderness and
understanding.
83. How can men and women
elevate their spiritual lives if they
have not yet corrected the great errors
that exist in their human lives?
84. My Work requires that its
disciples know how to give testimony
with the cleanliness and truth of the
acts of their lives.
85. To one and all I ask: “Do you
have children? Then have charity for
them; if you could, for one moment,
see those spirits, you would feel
unworthy to call yourselves their
parents. Do not give them bad
examples; take care not to raise a
scandal in the presence of your
children.
86. I know that in these times, more
than ever, there are problems in the
bosom of marriages that find only a
single solution: distancing, separation.
87. If this humanity had the
necessary notion of spiritual
knowledge, it would not fall into such
grave error, for it would find the
inspiration to resolve the most
difficult periods and overcome the
most difficult trials in prayer and
spirituality.
88. My light comes to all hearts, to
the sad and the beaten, to encourage
them. (312, 36 - 42)
89. In the Second Era I entered the
homes of many marriages joined by
the Law of Moses, and do you know
how I found many of them? Fighting
and destroying the seed of peace,
love, and trust; I saw war and discord
in their hearts, at their tables, and in
the marriage bed.
90. I entered too in the homes of
many who without having marriages
sanctioned by law, loved one another
and lived like lovebirds in their nest,
caressing and protecting the loved
one.
91. How many there are who living
under the same roof do not love each
other, and on not loving each other,
are not united, but distant spiritually.
Yet, they do not make their separation
public, for fear of Divine punishment,
or of human law, or of the judgment
of society. That is not marriage, in
those beings there is no union nor
truth.
92. Nonetheless, they present their
false union, visit homes and temples,
go out upon the roads, and the world
does not judge them, because they
hide their lack of love. In contrast,
how many who love each other must
hide, concealing their real union,
while suffering from
misunderstandings and injustices.
93. Humanity has not risen to
understand and judge the lives of their
neighbors. Those men who hold in
their hands the human and spiritual
Chapter 33 – Men and Women, Parents and Children, Family and Marriage
308
laws do not use true justice in
sanctioning those cases.
94. Nonetheless, those times of
comprehension and prudence that I
announce to you, in which humanity
will perfect itself, shall come. Then
again you shall see, as in the
patriarchal times before Moses, when
the union of beings was performed as
I have done on this day with My
children: spiritually, and as you shall
do in times to come, in the presence
of the parents of those to be joined, of
friends and relatives, and amid the
greatest spirituality, fraternity, and
rejoicing. (375, 25 - 27)
My peace be with you !
309
Chapter 34 - Free Will and Conscience
The Importance of the Conscience
and Free Will
1. Listen, O disciples: Man has as
his spiritual gifts freedom of will and
a conscience. Everyone, at birth, has
been endowed with virtues and can
make use of them. In his spirit is the
light of his conscience; but at the
same time that the flesh develops,
with it passions unfold: the bad
inclinations, these being the ones that
battle against those virtues.
2. God permits this because where
there is no struggle there are no
merits, and this is what you need in
order to ascend along the spiritual
path. What would be the merit of the
children of God, if they did not
struggle? What would you do if you
lived filled with happiness, as is your
wish in this world? Would you expect
spiritual progress if you were
surrounded by comforts and riches?
You would be at a standstill, for merit
does not exist where there is no
struggle.
3. But do not be confused, for when
I speak of conflict, I refer to that
which you develop in order to master
your weaknesses and passions. Those
battles are the only ones which I allow
in men so that they will dominate
their egotism and their materialism, in
order for the spirit to take its rightful
place illuminated by its conscience.
4. That inner battle I do authorize,
but not the one which men use with
the desire of exalting themselves,
blinded by ambition and wickedness.
(9, 42 - 44)
5. The spirit fights to achieve its
elevation and progress while the
material form gives in at every step to
the attractions of the world; yet the
spirit and the material can be
harmonized, giving to each what
legitimately pertains to it, that is what
My Doctrine teaches.
6. How can you practice My Law in
every case? By listening to the voice
of the conscience, which is the judge
of your acts. I do not come to
command that which you can not
perform; I come to persuade you that
the road to happiness is not a fantasy,
that it exists and the way to travel it is
what I am showing you.
7. You are free to choose the road,
but it is My duty as Father to show
you the true and the shortest road, that
which has always been illuminated by
the light of the Divine beacon that is
My love for you, for you are the
disciples who thirst always to hear the
new words that come to affirm your
knowledge and revive your faith.
(148, 53 - 55)
8. I have placed the conscience in
your being so it can be in the midst of
all your steps, since the conscience is
able to distinguish good from bad, and
what is just from what is not. With
that light you cannot be deceived nor
be called ignorant. How could the
spiritual follower deceive his brother
Chapter 34 - Free Will and Conscience
310
or try to deceive even himself if He
knows the truth? (10, 32)
9. Man on earth is a prince to whom
My love and My justice gave that
title, and the order that He received
from the very beginning was to have
dominion over the earth.
10. Over the Divine gift of your free
will, I put a beacon to illuminate the
path of your life: the conscience.
11. The freedom to act, and the light
of the conscience to distinguish good
from evil, are the two greatest gifts of
love that the Father has bequeathed to
your spirit. They are in men before
birth and after death. The conscience
guides men, and does not leave their
side in moments of desperation, nor in
moments of lost reason, nor even in
agony, for it is intimately united to the
spirit. (92, 32 - 34)
12. The spirit possesses the gift of
free will, through which it must earn
merit in order to save itself.
13. Who guides, orients, or counsels
the spirit during its free wandering, so
that it can distinguish right from
wrong and thereby not be lost? The
conscience.
14. The conscience is the Divine
spark, a higher light, and is a force to
help men not to sin. What merit would
there be in men if the conscience had
the material strength to force them to
remain on the side of good?
15. I want you to know that merit
consists of listening to that voice, in
persuading yourselves that that voice
never lies nor is mistaken in its
counsel, and in faithfully obeying its
dictates.
16. As you can understand, to hear
that voice clearly requires preparation
and concentration within one's self.
Who practices such obedience in the
present times? Ask yourselves?
17. The conscience has always
manifested itself in man, but man has
not achieved the necessary evolution
to guide all his life by that Divine
voice. Man has needed laws,
teachings, precepts, religions and
advice for guidance
18. When men come to enter into
communion with their spirits, and
instead of looking for it outwardly,
seek it within themselves, they can
hear that gentle, persuasive, wise, and
just voice that has always been
vibrating within them without being
heard, and they come to understand
that the conscience is the presence of
God, and that it is the true means by
which men should communicate with
their Father and Creator. (287, 26 -
30)
19. All bear My light; every spirit
possesses that grace, yet, while in
some that light has grown and
increased to show itself outwardly, in
others it has been latent, hidden, and
ignored. Nonetheless, I tell you truly,
no matter how backwards a man may
be spiritually, He can always
distinguish between good and evil,
and so you are all responsible before
Me for your acts.
20. I must tell you that responsibility
grows in you according to the
Chapter 34 - Free Will and Conscience
311
development of your understanding,
for you are increasingly more
sensitive to the dictates of the
conscience. (310, 69 - 70)
21. I want you to know that among
all the creatures of this world, you are
the favorite being, gifted with a spirit
and a conscience; I have given you
freedom of will so that you may take
by your own choice the straight road
that leads to Me; it is not a flowery
path that I offer you, but that of
prayer, penance and struggle, and
along that road your conscience will
guide you. (58, 42)
22. What would become of the spirit
deprived of its freedom of will? In the
first place it would not be a spirit and
therefore it would not be a creation,
worthy of the Supreme Being; it
would be something like those
machines that you create; something
without life of its own, without
intelligence, without will, without
aspirations. (20, 37)
23. I gave free will to man, but if in
his confusion He complains about it, I
will tell him that I also gave him the
ability to choose and comprehend. At
the same time, I revealed My law to
him, which is the way not to stumble
or become lost, and kindled the light
of his conscience, which is an inner
beacon that illuminates the way of the
spirit and leads it to eternal life.
24. Why does sin exist and evil
dominate, and why do wars break
out? Because man does not listen to
the dictates of his conscience and
badly uses his free will. (46. 63 - 64)
25. The world is not listening,
because the voices of these material
forms by which I communicate have
little reach. It is then the voice of the
conscience, which is My wisdom, that
speaks to humanity, surprising many
who, enveloped in their selfishness,
are deaf to the call of that voice, and
attentive only to adulation and earthly
adoration, enjoying their greatness
and power. (164, 18)
The Abuse of Free Will
26. Today I find Myself with a
humanity that is weakened in spiritual
matters because of the abuse that has
been made of the gift of free will. I
traced a path of justice, love, charity,
and goodness; humanity has created
another, of apparent light, which has
led them to the abyss.
27. Upon turning back, My word
shows you the same road that you
have previously not wished to take,
and He would be unjust and senseless
who says that this doctrine confuses
or delays. (126, 5 - 6)
28. Behold mankind occupied in
destroying and hating one another, in
snatching the power from each other
without holding back on crime, theft
or treachery. There you have men
who succumb by the millions, victims
of their fellowmen and others who
perish from the effect of vice. Is there
light in all that? Does the spirit within
them speak out? What exists there is
Chapter 34 - Free Will and Conscience
312
darkness and pain, resulting from the
abuse of the gift of the freedom of
will and from not listening to the
inner voice, of not beholding the light
of that spark of God that everyone
carries within his being and which is
the Divine light that you call
conscience. (79, 31)
29. Free will is the highest
expression, the most complete gift of
the liberty that was conceded to men
on the road of life so that by
perseverance in good, achieved by the
counsel of the conscience and the
struggle to overcome its trials, you
reach the bosom of the Father. But
free will has been replaced by
libertinism, the conscience is unheard,
only the dictates of the world are
obeyed, and spirituality has been
supplanted by materialism.
30. Faced with such confusion and
so much straying, My Doctrine will
appear absurd to the men of this time;
yet, I tell you, it is exactly the
teaching that is needed so that men
free themselves from the lethargy in
which they find themselves. (157, 15 -
16)
31. My word is the road, it is the
Divine law that guides you to
perfection, the light that elevates the
spirit but which has been dulled when
the flesh, by its rigidity, has imposed
itself, not hearing the interior voice of
its conscience.
32. Woe then to the spirit that has
ceded to the impulses of the material
and has let itself be dominated by the
influence of the world that surrounds
it, exchanging its post as guide for
that of a defenseless being carried
from one side to the other by human
passions and weaknesses, like dry
leaves carried aimlessly by the wind.
33. The man who most loves his
freedom, fears to submit himself to
the Divine will because He is fearful
that the spirit will tame him, depriving
him of many human satisfactions that
He knows will harm him and cause
him to abandon the road that leads to
true life. (97, 36)
34. The time in which men have
taken their free will to use it in
pleasures, low passions, hatred, and
vengeance is coming to an end. My
justice is closing the paths of sin and
opening instead the path to
reconciliation and regeneration so that
they can find the road to peace that
they have looked for in vain by other
means. (91, 80)
35. I gave you the gift of free will
and I have respected that blessed
liberty conceded to My children; but I
also placed in your being the Divine
light of the conscience, so that guided
by it you channel your gifts, and I tell
you, that in the struggle between the
spirit and the flesh, the spirit has
suffered a defeat, a painful fall that
little by little has been distancing it
from the source of truth, which I am.
36. Its defeat is not final, but
transitory, for from the depths of the
abyss the spirit shall rise when it can
no longer tolerate its hunger, thirst,
Chapter 34 - Free Will and Conscience
313
nakedness, and lack of light. Pain
shall be its salvation, and hearing the
voice of its conscience, it shall rise
strong and enlightened, fervent and
inspired, to take up once again its
gifts; but no longer with the liberty to
apply them to good or evil, but
consecrating them strictly to the
fulfillment of the Divine laws, which
is the best worship you can offer My
Spirit. (257, 65 - 66)
The Overriding Need to Obey the
Impulses of the Conscience
37. How far from reality in this
instant are those millions of beings
who live only for their material
present! How can they open their eyes
to reality? Only by listening to the
voice of their conscience: the voice
that to be heard requires
concentration, meditation, and prayer.
(169, 16)
38. Always when you wish to know
if the path that you follow is that of
your evolution, you may consult your
conscience, and if there is peace in it
and if charity and good will toward
your brethren lodges in your heart,
you can be certain that your light still
shines and your word comforts and
heals.
39. However if you discover that
within your heart there has
germinated greed, bad will,
materiality and lust, you can be
certain that your light has turned into
darkness and imposture. Do you wish
to offer the Father a soiled harvest
instead of a golden grain, when He
calls on you? (73, 45)
40. Disciples, if you do not wish to
suffer from errors or mistakes,
examine your actions in the light of
your conscience, and if there is
something that tarnishes them,
examine yourself deeply and you shall
find the stains, and thereby be able to
cleanse them.
41. Within you there is a mirror into
which you can look and see if you are,
or are not, clean.
42. The spiritualist should be
recognized by his deeds, and so that
those deeds may be clean, they must
have been dictated by the conscience.
Who acts thusly will feel worthy of
calling himself My disciple.
43. Who may deceive Me? No one. I
do not come to judge you for what
you do, but for the intentions with
which you act. I am in your
conscience, and beyond it. How could
you imagine that I might be ignorant
of your acts and the motives for them?
(180, 11 - 13)
The Struggle between Free Will and
Conscience
44. When the first human beings
inhabited the earth, the Creator placed
his love in them, equipped them with
a spirit, and ignited his light in their
conscience at the same time that they
were given free will.
45. And while some struggled to
persevere in righteousness, combating
all temptations to remain clean and
worthy of the Lord and in agreement
Chapter 34 - Free Will and Conscience
314
with their consciences, others, from
sin to sin and fault to fault, went along
forging fetters, link by link through
their sins, guided only by the voice of
the senses, dominated by their
passions, and sowing error and
temptation among their brothers.
46. Yet, by the side of these troubled
spirits My prophets have also come as
angelic messengers of My Divinity to
awaken humanity, warn them of
menaces, and announce My coming.
(250, 38 - 39)
47. The flesh was stubborn and
reluctant in following the voice of that
interior light that you call conscience,
and it was easier for it to follow those
impulses that led toward the
libertinism of its instincts and
passions.
48. Humanity has traveled much of
the path of the life on this earth, in
open battle between the conscience,
which has never quieted, and the
flesh, which wishes to make of
materialism its worship and law;
without either the material or the
spiritual having triumphed, for the
struggle continues.
49. Do you ask Me which will
triumph? I tell you that it shall not be
long until the absolute triumph of the
conscience working through the spirit
in the flesh.
50. Can you not foresee, that after so
much struggle and such combat, that
the material, which is human and
fleeting, will have to bend before the
conscience, which is My eternal light?
51. Understand: After this prolonged
combat, man will finally reach the
sensitivity and docility that He has
never previously shown to that voice,
and to the spiritual life that vibrates
and palpitates within his being.
52. All of you march toward that
point without knowing it. Yet, when
you see the triumph of right and
justice on earth, you will understand
the reason for the struggle, the
combats, and the trials. (317, 21 - 26)
53. Do you not see that man is
before and above all that surrounds
him, that He is the only being given
free will and a conscience? From free
will have flowed all the errors, falls,
and sins of humanity, but they are
fleeting errors in the presence of the
justice and eternity of the Creator, for
in time the conscience shall triumph
over the weaknesses of the material
form and the spirit, and with that
triumph will come the victory of the
light, which is the victory of wisdom
over the darkness that is ignorance; it
shall be the triumph of good, which is
love, justice, and harmony, over evil,
which is selfishness, libertinism, and
injustice. (295, 49)
54. Nothing is impossible for Me.
My will has been done, and always
will be done, even though there are
times when it seems that it is the will
of men, not mine, that dominates.
55. On the path of man's free will, its
reign over the earth, the triumphs of
its arrogance, the domination that with
its strength it sometimes imposes, are
Chapter 34 - Free Will and Conscience
315
so fleeting compared to eternity that it
could absolutely never force a change
in the Divine plans; and so tomorrow
or in the course of their
accomplishment, the will of My Spirit
over all beings is made manifest,
saving the good and erasing the
impure. (280, 9 – 10)
56. The time shall come when the
borders of this world are erased by
love and the worlds approach each
other through spirituality.
57. Until then, the struggle will
continue between the conscience and
free will, which man takes advantage
of to do as He wishes in life.
58. The struggle between these two
forces will come to its peak, and the
triumph will fall to the spirit, which in
a surrender of absolute love for the
Father, will say to Him: “Lord, I
renounce My free will; work only
your Will in me.”
59. I shall bless him who comes
before Me in this way, and wrap him
in My light; what is more, I shall
make him know that the blessed
liberty that was given him will never
be withdrawn, for He who does the
will of his Father, who is faithful and
obedient, is worthy of his Lord’s trust.
(213, 61 - 64)
The Conscience through the New
Word of God
60. My Doctrine, full of light and
love, comes to strengthen the spirit so
that it may impose its power on the
flesh and sensitize it so that the
inspirations of the conscience are ever
more perceptible to it.
61. Spirituality is the purpose that
humanity must pursue, since through
it, it will come to identify itself
plainly with the conscience, and come
finally to distinguish right from
wrong.
62. Because of the lack of spiritual
elevation of men, that wise and
profound, righteous and just interior
voice has not been heard and
interpreted as it should have been; and
therefore, man has not yet reached the
absolute understanding that permits
him to distinguish truly between right
and wrong.
63. That is not all, for He also needs
to find in himself the strength
necessary to follow every good
impulse and obey every enlightened
inspiration, rejecting at the same time
any impure or evil temptation,
thought, or feeling. (329, 56 - 57)
64. How easy it will be for men to
understand one another when they
meditate and listen to the dictates of
their higher reason: the voice of the
judge they do not wish to hear
because they know it will order them
to do the opposite of all they do now.
65. I say to you that if you have been
unwilling to listen to the voice of your
conscience, then you have been
disobedient and lacked humility to
practice My doctrine. You recognize
My doctrine in theory but you do not
truly practice if. Although you
acknowledge that it possesses Divine
essence, and that Christ was truly
Chapter 34 - Free Will and Conscience
316
great and his teachings perfect, no one
wants to truly imitate the Divine
Master in order to achieve his
greatness. No one wants to reach Him,
imitating Him truly. You need to
realize that I did not come in the
Second Era only to make you aware
of My spiritual greatness but also in
order for you to become spiritually
great. (287, 35 - 36)
66. I will reunite all men and all
peoples around My new message; I
shall call them as a shepherd does his
sheep, and prepare for them the peace
of a shelter where they can take
refuge from the inclemencies and the
storms.
67. You shall see that although many
appear to have not the smallest trace
of faith or spirituality, they conserve
in the purest part of their spirit the
immortal principles of spiritual life;
and you shall see how many who
seem to have no religion at all, bear in
the most intimate region of their being
an indestructible altar.
68. Before that interior altar men
shall have to prostrate themselves
spiritually, and sincerely repentant of
their disobedience, cry for their faults,
their evil deeds, and their offenses.
There, before the altar of the
conscience, human arrogance shall
fall, and men will cease to consider
themselves as superior for reasons of
their race. Then shall come the
renunciations, the restitutions and
finally peace, as the legitimate fruit of
love, humility, faith, and good will.
(321, 9 - 11)
My peace be with you !
317
Chapter 35 – The Power of Thoughts, Feelings, and the Will
Sending and Receiving Thoughts,
and its Effects
1. There are forces invisible to
human sight and unknown to the
science of man which constantly
influence your lives.
2. There are those which are good
and those which are bad, some which
give you health and others which
cause illnesses. There are some filled
with light and others with darkness.
3. From where do these forces arise?
From the spirit, disciples, from the
mind and from feelings.
4. Every incarnated and
disincarnated spirit emanates
vibrations when it thinks; every
emotion exerts an influence. You can
be sure that the world is filled with
these vibrations.
5. Now you can easily understand
that healthy forces and influences
must exist where people think and
dwell in goodness, and that where
they live outside of the laws and
regulations which are determined by
goodness, justice and love, there must
exist evil forces.
6. Both of them invade the spiritual
space, struggle with each other and
influence the sensitivity of men. If
men know how to distinguish between
them, they take the good inspirations
and reject those influences which are
evil, but if the men are weak and not
prepared in the practice of
righteousness, they are unable to
confront these vibrations and are in
danger of succumbing to their
dominance and becoming slaves of
evil. (40, 58 – 63)
7. Everything spiritual in the
Universe is a fountain of light, visible
or invisible to you; that light is
strength, it is power, it is inspiration.
From the ideas, words and deeds, light
also emanates, according to the purity
and elevation that they have. The
more elevated the idea or the deed, the
more delicate and gentle the vibration
and inspiration which emits from it.
Although it is also more difficult for
the slaves of materialism to perceive
it; nevertheless, the effect which is
exerted spiritually by the thoughts and
elevated deeds, is great. (16, 16)
8. When from your mind emerges an
idea or a thought of light, in that
manner it reaches its objective to
fulfill its beneficial mission. If instead
of kind thoughts, impure emanations
surge from your mind, they will only
cause harm wherever you send them. I
say to you that thoughts are deeds,
and as such they remain written in the
book which exists in your conscience.
9. If your deeds are good or bad, you
will receive multiplied what you
wished for your brethren. But it is
better to do yourselves some harm
than to wish it upon one of your
fellow men.
10. That is why during the Second
Era I said to you: “What you sow you
reap,” for it is necessary that you be
aware of your experiences in this life
Chapter 35 – The Power of Thoughts, Feelings, and the Will
318
and that you remember that your
harvest will give you back the same
seed that you sowed, although
multiplied.
11. O! Humanity, how you have
neglected to meditate, feel or live the
teachings of your Master! (24, 15 -
18)
12. That is why I have told you that
you did not know the strength of
thought. Today I tell you that thought
is voice and hearing, it is a weapon
and a shield. It creates and destroys.
Thought cuts the distance to those
who are absent, and finds those who
had been lost.
13. Know your weapons before the
battle commences; He who knows
how to prepare himself will be strong
and invincible. It will not be
necessary to wield mortal weapons,
your sword will be thought pure and
clean, your shield faith and charity.
Even in silence, your voice will
resound as a message of peace. (76,
34)
14. Keep vigil, being careful not to
stain your mind with impure thoughts;
the mind is creative and when you
give space to an evil idea it will lead
you to the lower planes and your spirit
will be surrounded with darkness.
(146, 60)
15. The joined thoughts of a
multitude will be capable of striking
down evil influences, toppling idols
from their pedestals. (160, 60)
16. Today I can assure you that in
the future communication through
thought will reach great development,
and through it many barriers that
today separate peoples and worlds
will disappear. If you learn to
communicate in thought with your
Father, if you achieve spirit to Spirit
communication, what difficulty could
there then be in communicating with
your brothers, be they visible or
invisible, present or absent, and
nearby or far away? (165, 15)
17. Your thoughts always come to
Me, no matter how imperfect they are,
and I hear your prayers even if they
lack the faith that you should always
put in them. This is because My Spirit
captures the vibrations and feelings of
all beings.
18. However, men who find
themselves distanced from others by
their selfishness, and distanced from
spiritual life by the materialism that
they have allowed themselves to be
wrapped in today, are not prepared to
communicate with others by means of
their thoughts.
19. Nonetheless, I tell you that it is
necessary to begin to educate your
spirit; to do so, speak to the spirits,
even if you have no apparent answer
from them.
20. Tomorrow, when you have all
learned to give, you will begin to have
indications of a spiritual
communication never imagined by
men. (238, 51)
Chapter 35 – The Power of Thoughts, Feelings, and the Will
319
The Strength of Feelings, Desires,
and Fears
21. At every moment you are
vibrating mentally and spiritually, but
most of the time you radiate
selfishness, hatred, violence, vanity,
and the lower passions; you wound,
and feel it when you are wounded, but
you do not love, and so you do not
feel it when you are loved. So, with
your insane thoughts you go
saturating the environment in which
you live with pain, filling your
existence with ill feeling. I tell you:
Saturate all with peace, harmony and
love, and then you will be happy. (16,
33)
22. Never think ill of those who do
not love you, nor become exasperated
with those who do not understand
you, for even the most closely held of
the feelings you have toward your
fellow men is transmitted with your
thought. (105, 37)
23. Do you see those men who seek
power through force? Very soon, you
will see them convinced of their error.
24. I will demonstrate to them that
solely through goodness, which is the
emanation of love, one can be truly
great and powerful. (211, 22 - 23)
25. You need faith to raise your
faces smiling with hope and look
forward to the future without doubts
or mistrust, for I am in your future.
26. How often are you ill because
you think you are, because you
believe every step dogged by fate or
menaced by pain? That is when your
mind attracts the darkness, and with it
surround your material life and your
spiritual journey.
27. Yet, here you have Me to re -
ignite your faith in life, truth, eternity,
and perfect peace, and to teach you to
once more to attract the light to
yourselves. (205, 28 - 29)
The Lack of Self Control
28. Man has two weaknesses. He
makes no effort to remove his
blindfolds in order to study My
elevated spiritual teachings, nor does
He want to separate himself from
those material pleasures that prevent
his spiritual progress. Thus, He has
become a slave to his selfish
pleasures. His spirit is like a paralyzed
human being who makes no effort to
heal himself.
29. In all walks of life, wherever I
look I see the majority of men as
being weak. What does that mean?
That you do not have enough strength
of will to escape from the mire in
which you find yourselves, or from
the laziness caused by the bonds that
tie you to the material, and that is the
beginning of all vices and errors.
30. But men do not wish to make use
of the power which they have been
given, which is the will, the will that
should be the supreme legislator,
which ought to make itself obeyed,
and in concert with reason, fight
strength against strength, empire
against empire; on one side the
passions and desires, on the other
reason and will, until the day reason
Chapter 35 – The Power of Thoughts, Feelings, and the Will
320
and will win the final battle and you
can say that you are free.
31. Then you can be the great
prophets, the great enlightened ones,
the supermen; then you will be able to
live among the beasts and play with
reptiles, for truly I tell you, it is the
faults covering you that make you fear
these little brothers of yours, and it is
because of these they attack you.
32. Yet if you observe men you will
see there are men who are fiercer than
tigers and more poisonous than
cobras. (203, 3 - 6)
My peace be with you !
321
IX. Teachings of the Divine Wisdom
Chapter 36 - Faith, Truth, and Understanding
The Faith that Can Do All Things
1. In order to master weakness,
smallness, misery, passions and to
destroy all doubt, faith and good
deeds are indispensable and are
virtues that triumph over the
impossible; before them what is
difficult and unattainable disappears
like shadows.
2. I said to men who believed in Me
during the Second Era: 'Your faith has
saved you." Thus I announced it
because faith is a healing power, it is
a force which transforms, and its light
destroys all darkness. (20, 63 - 64)
3. Those who are still far from
spirituality, would like to behold Me
in the form of Jesus to say to Me:
Father, I believe in you, because I
have seen you; I will say to them:
Blessed are those who without seeing
have believed, for they have given
proof that thanks to their spirituality
they have felt Me within their heart.
(27 - 75)
4. I wish you to know what faith is,
so that you understand that He who
possesses it, is owner of an
incomparable treasure.
5. He who lives illuminated by that
interior light, no matter how poor the
world considers him to be, will never
feel like a pariah, abandoned, weak,
or lost; his faith in the Father, in life,
in his destiny, and even in himself
will never let him weaken in the
struggle, and He will always be able
to perform great and awesome works.
(136, 4 - 5)
6. Faith is like a beacon that
illuminates your path until you arrive
at the secure door of eternity.
7. Faith can not be that shown by
those timid and fearful spirits who
today advance a step and tomorrow
turn back, who do not wish to struggle
with their own pain, trusting in the
triumph of the spirit only through the
charity of the Father.
8. Faith is that which the spirit feels,
knowing that God is in him, who
loves his Lord, and enjoys feeling
Him within himself, and who loves
his brothers; having such faith in the
justice of the Father that He does not
wait for his brothers to love him; who
pardons offenses and errors but who
tomorrow will be filled with light,
because by his merits He has achieved
his purification.
9. He who has faith has peace,
possesses love, and is filled with
goodness.
10. He is rich in faith, and even in
the material world; but with true
wealth, not that of which you
conceive. (263, 12 - 16)
11. I will tell you the test that shows
true faith exists: the heart is not
troubled in times of trial, and peace
Chapter 36 - Faith, Truth, and Understanding
322
inundates the spirit in the supreme
moments of peril.
12. He who has faith, is in harmony
with Me, for I am life, health, and
salvation; He who genuinely seeks
this port and this beacon, shall not
perish.
13. He who possesses this virtue,
performs prodigies beyond all human
science, and gives testimony of the
spirit and of the higher life. (237, 69 -
71)
The Recognition of the Truth of
God
14. When the heart contains good
faith and the mind is free of
prejudices or confused ideas, life is
appreciated more and the truth is seen
with greater clarity. In contrast, when
the heart bears skepticism, or there are
vanity and errors in the mind, all
appears confused and even the light
itself appears as darkness.
15. Seek truth: it is life, but seek it
with love, with humility, with
perseverance, and faith. (88, 5 - 6)
16. Pray, and in your prayer ask
questions of your Father, and in
meditation you will receive the ray of
My infinite light. Do not expect to
receive all of the truth in one single
instant. There are spirits that have
walked for much time in search of the
truth, studying and trying to penetrate
all the Mysteries, but which have not
yet achieved their desired goal.
17. Christ, the Anointed, came to
show you the road, telling you, "Love
one another." Can you imagine the
reach of that sublime commandment?
All the life of man would be
transformed if you lived by that
doctrine. Love alone is that which can
reveal the truths of the arcane,
because it is the origin of your lives,
and of all created.
18. Seek the truth with zeal, and seek
the meaning of life. Love strengthens
you in the good, and you shall see
how, step by step, all that is false,
impure, or imperfect shall fall from
you. Each day, be more sensitive to
the light of Divine grace, for then you
will be able to ask the Lord directly
all that you wish to know and that is
necessary for your spirit in order to
reach the supreme truth. (136, 40 - 42)
19. I am the Word that comes in
search of men, for they have been
unable to come to Me. It is My truth
that I come to reveal to you, for truth
is the Kingdom I wish all of you to
enter.
20. But how can you find the truth if
I do not first tell you that many
renunciations are required?
21. At times, to find truth it is
necessary to renounce all that you
possess, to renounce even your self.
22. The vain, the materialist, and the
indolent cannot know truth if they do
not destroy the walls within which
they live. It is necessary that they
dominate their passions and
weaknesses to look directly at My
light. (258, 44 - 47)
23. Blessed is He who seeks truth,
because He is thirsty for love, light,
Chapter 36 - Faith, Truth, and Understanding
323
and kindness. Seek, and you shall
find; seek truth, and it shall come out
to meet you. Continue to meditate,
and continue asking questions of the
Arcane, and He will answer, for the
Father has never remained quiet or
indifferent before He who eagerly
asks of Him.
24. How many who seek the truth in
books, among the wise, and in the
diverse sciences, will end up finding it
in themselves, since in the depths of
each man I have deposited a seed of
eternal truth. (262, 36 - 37)
25. I cannot deceive you. I never act
falsely, and never hide in darkness.
My truth is always naked, but if men
have not been able to see the
nakedness of My Spirit, it is because
they have not wished to. I do not hide
My truth with any vestment. My
nakedness is Divine and pure, My
nakedness is holy, and I shall show it
to all the beings of the Universe.
Symbolizing this, I came naked into
the world as a man, and also left it
naked.
26. I wish that among mine there is
always truth, for I am, and will always
be in your truth. I wish that there be
love among you, and My love will
always be in your love.
27. Only one truth exists and one
true love; and that truth and that love
are in you. Your love and your truth
shall be mine, and My truth and My
love shall be yours. (327, 33 - 34)
28. My light is in all consciences,
you are already in the Era when My
Spirit will spill out over mankind, and
so I tell you that soon all of you shall
feel My presence, the wise equally
with the ignorant, the great like the
small, and the powerful as the poor.
29. One and all will tremble before
the truth of the true living God. (263,
33 - 34)
The Recognition of the Spiritual
and Divine
30. It is impossible for one of My
children to forget Me since He carries
in his spirit the conscience which is
the light of My Spirit and through
which, sooner or later, He must
recognize Me.
31. It is easy for some to
comprehend the meaning of My word
and to find the light there; but to
others My word remains a Mystery.
32. I say to you that not everyone
will be able to understand the spiritual
essence of My message in this time.
Those who do not succeed in doing so
will have to await new times for their
spirits to open their eyes to the light of
My revelations. (36, 4 - 6)
33. If I say to you that My wisdom
shall be yours, do you believe that
only one existence would be sufficient
to know all that I have to reveal to
you? If I say that you will not acquire
the human science without traveling
the extensive road of evolution, much
less will you be able to acquire the
knowledge of the spiritual without a
complete evolution of your spirit.
34. I do not come to put spirituality
into conflict with science, because
that mistake has been of men, but
Chapter 36 - Faith, Truth, and Understanding
324
never mine; on the contrary, I come to
teach you to harmonize the spiritual
with the material, what is human with
the Divine, what is temporary with the
eternal. Nevertheless, I declare to you
that to travel the pathways of life, it is
necessary to know beforehand the
path that your conscience outlines,
whose spiritual law proceeds from the
Divine Spirit. (79, 38 - 39)
35. You have fallen so far, and
distanced yourselves so from the
spiritual, that you consider
supernatural all that, because it
pertains to the spirit, is completely
natural. This is how you refer to the
Divine, and is how you see all that
pertains to your spirits, and that is an
error.
36. What has happened is that you
see and perceive only what is close to
your senses or within reach of your
human intelligence, and what is
beyond the senses and the mind you
have considered supernatural. (273, 1)
37. The man who seeks the light of
wisdom in Nature, as well as He who
seeks My wisdom in spiritual
revelations, shall have to travel on his
own feet the road where He finds the
truth that He could not find on other
paths. It is for that reason that I have
sent your spirit to live life after life
here on earth, so that through your
evolution and experience you discover
all that there is in it, and in what
surrounds it.
38. If you wish, scrutinize My
words, but then study and observe life
through them, so that you can see the
truth that is contained in all I have
told you.
39. There will be times when it
seems to you that there is a
contradiction between what I tell you
today and what was revealed to you in
past times, but there is not; the
confusion is in men, but you soon
shall come to the light. (105, 54 - 56)
Conditions for Spiritual
Recognition
40. Humility is the light of the spirit,
and on the contrary, the lack of it is
darkness. Vanity is the fruit of
ignorance. He who is great through
wisdom, and worthy through virtue,
has true modesty and spiritual
humility. (101, 61)
41. Let all evil thoughts fall away
from you, and attract the noble
thoughts. Happiness is not in the
material things you possess, but in the
spirituality that you know. To know is
to possess and practice.
42. He who truly knows is humble of
spirit, not prideful with the earthly
wisdom that aspires to know all, but
denies all that it does not understand.
He who bears the light of inspired
knowledge knows how to receive
revelations in their due time, and how
to wait for them. Many have called
themselves wise, but the sun that
shines brilliantly on them day after
day, has been a Mystery to them.
43. Many have believed that they
knew all, yet, truly I tell you, that
even the ants that cross the road
Chapter 36 - Faith, Truth, and Understanding
325
unnoticed bear a Mystery which is
unfathomable to them.
44. Men may investigate many of the
marvels of nature, but while they do
not do it through the path of Divine
love, they shall not come to the true
wisdom enclosed in the immortal life
of the spirit. (139, 67 - 70)
Search for our spiritual light
45. From the beginning I conceded
to man the liberty of thought, but He
has always been a slave, sometimes
due to his fanaticism and on other
occasions because of the false beliefs
of Pharaoh or Caesar. That is why in
this time, faced with the freedom that
the spirit is achieving, and the clarity
that is presented to his eyes, He is
blinded by the light, for his mind is
not used to that liberty.
46. Man had reduced the strength of
his understanding of the spiritual, and
fell therefore into fanaticism, walked
on twisted paths, and was like a
shadow of the will of others.
47. He had lost his liberty, and was
not the owner of either himself nor of
his thoughts.
48. But the Era of light has arrived,
the time when you are to break the
chains and extend your wings to fly
free toward the infinite in search of
truth. (239, 4 - 7)
49. This century in which you live
presents two sides: one is the
evolution of the mind, and the other is
the stagnation of the spirit.
50. Truly, the Divine light shines
upon the understanding, and for that
reason from it arises My great
inspiration, whose fruits astonish
humanity. It is because the mind seeks
freedom and expansion. Man deepens
his study of nature, He scrutinizes,
discovers, enjoys, and is awed, but
never hesitates.
51. But when in him the idea of
clarifying matters related to the
spiritual rises, of matters related to the
truth beyond the material one He
knows, then He is found fearful,
afraid to penetrate the unknown, into
what He believes is prohibited,
permitted only to those elevated
beings worthy of learning about the
Arcane of God.
52. There He has shown himself
clumsy and weak, unable to defeat by
act of will the prejudices that repress
him.
53. The development of human
intelligence will never be complete
until it happens on the spiritual plane.
See how great the backwardness of
your spirit is, because you have
consecrated your knowledge to the
earthly life.
54. Man is a slave to the will of
others, a victim of anathema,
condemnations, and threats and what
has He achieved with this? The
abandonment of all his yearnings to
understand and achieve the highest
knowledge that man must have,
preventing himself from being able to
achieve the clarification of what He
has absurdly always supposed to be a
Mystery: the spiritual life.
55. Do you believe that the life of
the spirit will always be an enigma to
Chapter 36 - Faith, Truth, and Understanding
326
men on earth? If so, then you have
fallen into a great error. Truly I tell
you, that while you do not know your
origin, and ignore all that is related to
the spirit, for all the advancement of
your sciences, you will not move
beyond creatures that inhabit a small
world, among the plants and animals;
you continue to foster enmities by
your wars and over your lives, pain
will continue to rule.
56. If you do not discover what you
carry within you, nor the spiritual
brother that inhabits each of your
neighbors, will you be able to love
truly? No, humanity, though you say
that you know and follow Me, if you
take My Doctrine lightly, your faith,
your knowledge, and your love will
be false. (271, 39 - 45)
57. In Me men will find the courage
to emancipate themselves from the
yoke of their ignorance.
58. How can you hope that on earth
there is peace and an end to wars, that
men regenerate and sin diminishes, if
they lack the spiritual knowledge that
is the basis, the principle, and the
foundation of life?
59. Truly I tell you, that to the extent
that you do not understand and
practice My truth, your existence on
the earth will be like a building
constructed on shifting sands. (273,
24 - 26)
60. I come to man to tell him that He
does not truly know himself because
He has not penetrated his own inner
self, and does not know its secret
because He ignores its essence. Yet,
in this era, I wish to teach him the
content of the Book that has for so
long been closed to him, and in which
are guarded all the Mysteries that
since the Second Era I promised to
come to explain with the light of My
Spirit.
61. Only now will you truly
penetrate and know the inner depths
of your spirit, and then you will be
able to say that you have begun to
know who you are.
62. Man shall come to know his
origin, his destiny, his mission, his
gifts, and all the infinite and eternal
life that vibrates around him. He will
no longer be able to offend his fellow
man, or make attempts on the lives of
his brothers, nor dare to profane any
of that which surrounds him, for He
will have come to realize that all is
sacred.
63. He shall come to know what He
bears hidden in his spirit, and it will
be then that He will have a clear idea
and a profound faith that if the spirit is
marvelous, so too must be the
dwelling that his Father has destined
for him in eternity. (287, 4 - 6)
My peace be with you !

Chapter 37 - Correct Understanding of the Biblical Texts
The Interpretation of the Word and
Promises of the Bible
1. Men have dedicated themselves to
scrutinize the ancient Testaments,
torturing their minds in the study and
interpretation of the prophecies and
the promises. Those among them who
have come closer to the truth, are the
ones who have found the spiritual
meanings of My teachings, because
those who still persist in a material
interpretation, and do not know or do
not wish to find the spiritual meaning
of My manifestations, will have to
suffer confusions and
disappointments; just as the Jewish
people suffered upon the arrival of the
Messiah, whom they had imagined
and awaited in a manner unlike the
truth which was manifested to them.
(13, 50)
2. The erroneous idea that mankind
formed of My justice in the earliest
times will disappear definitively to
give way to true knowledge of it.
Divine justice shall finally be
understood as the light that emanates
from the perfect love that exists in
your Father.
3. That God men believed to be
vengeful, cruel, rancorous, and
inflexible, will be felt in the depths of
their hearts as a Father who in
exchange for the offenses of his
children offers forgiveness, the Father
who persuades the sinner with
tenderness; as the Judge who instead
of condemning him who has gravely
erred, providing him with a new
opportunity for salvation.
4. How many imperfections men
attribute to Me in their ignorance,
believing Me capable of feeling anger,
even though anger is a merely human
weakness. If the prophets spoke to
you of the holy anger of God, I tell
you now, interpret that expression as
the Divine justice.
5. The men of the First Era would
not have understood it in any other
way, neither the dissolute nor the
libertines would have paid any
attention to the admonishments of the
prophets if they had not been spoken
to in that form. It was necessary that
the inspiration of My envoys be
expressed in terms that would impress
the brains and hearts of those men of
little spiritual development. (104, 11 -
14)
6. The scriptures of the First Era
gathered the history of the people of
Israel, conserving the names of their
children, their accomplishments and
failings, their works of faith and their
weakness, their splendor and their
falls, so that book would speak to
each new generation of the evolution
of that people in the worship of the
sacred. That book preserved the
names of the virtue and justice -
loving patriarchs, models of strength
in faith, just as it did that of the
farseeing prophets through whose
mouths the Lord always spoke when
He saw the people on the edge of
Chapter 37 - Correct Understanding of the Biblical Texts
328
some danger. It also gathered the
names of the perverse, the traitors,
and the disobedient, for each case,
each example, is a lesson, and at times
a symbol.
7. When I came as Jesus to live
among men, only when it was
necessary did I take from the essence
of those scriptures, from the sense of
those works, to give My lessons,
never exalting the material and
superficial. Do you not remember that
I mentioned the righteous Abel, that I
pondered the patience of Job, and
mentioned the wisdom and splendor
of Solomon? Is it not true that many
times I remembered Abraham and
spoke of the prophets, and that
referring to Moses I told you that I did
not come to destroy the law of Moses,
but to fulfill it? (102, 31 - 32)
8. You need to study the Divine
revelations that I have made to you
throughout time, arrive at an
understanding of the metaphoric
language through which it spoke to
you, and sensitize thereby your
spiritual senses in order to understand
which are the Words of God, and
which the words of men, to find the
essence of My teachings.
9. Only through a spiritual point of
view can you find the just and true
interpretation of My Word, whether it
be that given through the prophets,
those that came to you through the
conduit of Jesus, or this one I give
you today, through the spokesmen of
the Third Era.
10. When this humanity has found
the true meaning of the Law, the
Doctrine, the prophecies, and the
revelations, it will have found the
most beautiful and deepest of that
which is related to its existence.
11. Then it will know true justice
and it will be then that its heart
presents itself to the real Heaven, then
too it will know the meaning of
atonement, purification, and
restitution. (322, 39 - 42)
12. The scriptures of the past eras
could reveal to you what I repeat to
you today, but man has dared to
falsify My truths by spreading them in
adulterated form. And therefore you
have a humanity spiritually ill, tired,
and alone.
13. For this reason My voice crying
"Warning!" is heard through My
spokesmen, for I do not wish you to
enter into confusion. (221, 14 - 15)
14. If to your hands come altered
writings of My disciples who in the
Second Era passed on My word to
you, I will make you recognize which
are the true words of Jesus; your
conscience will regard as false, those
which are not in harmony with the
Divine concert of My love. (24, 19)
15. Man has never lacked My
revelations of spiritual enlightenment,
but He has been afraid to analyze
them. And I ask you: What can you
know about the truth and the eternal if
you stubbornly continue to flee the
spiritual?
Chapter 37 - Correct Understanding of the Biblical Texts
329
16. Look at the material
interpretation you have given My
revelations of the First and Second
Eras, though they speak only of the
Divine and spiritual. Do you see how
you confuse the material nature with
the spiritual, and with what lack of
respect you convert the profound to
the superficial, and the elevated into
what is low? Why have you done
that? Because wishing to participate
in the Work of God, you seek to adapt
My Doctrine to your material lives, to
the human conveniences which are
what most interest you. (281, 18 - 19)
17. The lesson that I gave you in the
Second Era, a lesson that many have
not understood and others have
forgotten, in this time will be made to
be understood by all, and what is
more, will be brought to fulfillment
by My new teachings. (92, 12)
18. The light of My Holy Spirit
descends upon you, but why do you
represent Me in the form of a dove?
Those figures and symbols should not
be worshipped by My new disciples
anymore.
19. Understand My teaching, 0 My
people: During that Second Era, My
Holy Spirit manifested itself in the
form of a dove in the baptism of
Jesus, because that bird in its flight
resembles the flight of the spirit, its
whiteness speaks of purity and in its
sweet and gentle look there is a
reflection of innocence.
20. How would those unpolished
men be made to understand the
Divine, if it was not by adopting the
figures known to them in the world?
21. Christ, who speaks to you at this
moment, was represented by a lamb,
and John himself in his prophetic
vision beheld Me thus. All this is due
to the fact that, if you seek Me in each
one of My works, you will always
find in all Creation an image of the
Author of life. (8, 1 - 3)
22. In that Era I said to you that it is
easier for a camel to go through the
eye of a needle than for a wealthy
miser to enter the Kingdom of God.
Now I say to you that it is necessary
for those hearts to put aside their
egotism and practice charity toward
their brethren in order for their spirit
to be able to pass through the narrow
path of salvation. It is not necessary to
deprive themselves of possessions and
riches, but only of their egotism. (62,
65)
23. I am rebuilding the temple that I
referred to when I said to My
disciples who marveled contemplating
the temple of Solomon: 'Verily I say
to you, that of it there shall not be one
stone left upon another, but I will
reconstruct it in three days."
24. I meant that any external
worship, regardless how sumptuous it
may seem to mankind, will disappear
from the heart of men in order to raise
in its place the true spiritual temple of
My Divinity. This is the Third Era, or
that is to say, the third day, in which I
shall finish reconstructing My temple.
(79, 4)
Chapter 37 - Correct Understanding of the Biblical Texts
330
25. God has no form, for if He had
one, He would be limited, as are
humans, and would not then be God.
26. His throne is perfection, justice,
love, wisdom, the creating force, and
eternity.
27. Heaven is the supreme happiness
that the spirit arrives at by traveling
the road to perfection until it so
elevates itself in wisdom and love,
that it reaches a state of purity where
neither sin nor pain can come.
28. On some occasions, when My
prophets have spoken of the spiritual
life they have done so through human
forms and using objects known to
you.
29. The prophets saw thrones similar
to those of the kings of earth, books,
and beings in human form, curtained
palaces, candelabras, the lamb, and
many other figures. Now, however,
you should understand that all of that
bore a meaning, a symbol, a Divine
sense, a revelation that had to be
expressed to you in an allegorical
form since you were not prepared to
understand another, more elevated
one.
30. Now it is time for you to
correctly interpret the content of all
the parables and teachings that I
revealed to you in symbols, so that the
significance of them penetrates your
spirit and the symbolic form
disappears.
31. When you reach this
understanding your faith will be true,
because it will have been built on the
foundation of truth. (326, 37 - 42)
32. If all who have been called
would come to the table of the Lord
where the delicacies that nourish the
spirit are served, the table would be
complete, but not all the guests have
arrived.
33. It is the nature of men to not
know how to respond to the gifts of
God, and that is why you have seen
many of your brothers pay no
attention when you call them.
34. Yet, I tell you, that these few
who sit at My table and persist in
listening in order to learn from Me,
shall be those who make known to the
multitudes the greatness of My word:
the meaning of this doctrine that calls
men to the reconstruction of a world
that has come to its end, in order to
give way to another world that is
brighter and more elevated. (285, 33 -
35)
The Revelation of Jesus through the
Apostle John
35. Everything was written in the
Book of the Seven Seals, which is
found within God and whose
existence was revealed to mankind
through John, the apostle and prophet.
36. The contents of that Book only
the Divine Lamb has revealed to you,
for there has not existed on earth or in
Heaven, a just spirit who would be
able to clarify the profound Mysteries
of love, of life and justice of God; but
the Divine Lamb, who is Christ, broke
the Seals which locked the Book of
life to reveal its contents to His
children. (62, 30)
Chapter 37 - Correct Understanding of the Biblical Texts
331
37. If the book of the prophecies of
John has been regarded by some as an
unfathomable Mystery and considered
by others with an erroneous
interpretation, it is because humanity
has not yet attained the necessary
spirituality to understand what is
represented there, and I can also tell
you, that not even the prophet
understood what was inspired to him.
38. John heard and saw, and being
ordered to write, instantly obeyed, but
He understood that message to be for
men who would come a long time
after him. (27, 80 - 81)
39. When will men fix their attention
on that which My beloved disciple left
written? The form in which the
revelations are written is strange, its
sense is Mysterious, and its words are
infinitely profound, who will
understand them?
40. The men who seek to understand
the Revelation of John, analyze,
observe, and study in deep absortion.
Some come somewhat close to the
truth, others believe they have gotten
the meaning of the revelation, and so
proclaim to the world; others become
confused or weary of seeking, and end
up denying the Divine essence of that
message.
41. I come now to tell you, disciples
of the Third Era, that if you truly wish
to enter into that sanctuary and deeply
understand those revelations, you
must initiate yourselves into the
prayer of spirit to Spirit, just as John
practiced in his exile.
42. To begin with, you must
understand that the Divine Revelation,
although represented in material
forms and figures, speaks entirely of
the spiritual life of humanity, about its
evolution, its struggle, its temptations
and falls, and its profanations and
disobediences. It speaks of My
justice, My wisdom, and about My
Kingdom, My trials, and My
communications with men, of their
awakening, regeneration, and finally,
their spirituality.
43. There I revealed the spiritual
journey of men, divided into epochs,
so that you might better understand
the evolution of the spirit.
44. So, of course, disciples, if the
revelation refers to your spiritual life,
it is only right that you look at it and
study it from a spiritual point of view,
for if you take it to analyze in relation
to material events only, you will end
up confused like so many others.
45. Certainly many material
occurrences are, and will be, related to
the fulfillment of those revelations,
but you must know that those signs
and events are also forms, figures and
examples that come to aid you in
understanding My truth and in helping
you to fulfill your destiny of raising
yourselves up to Me, through the road
of cleanliness of the spirit, of which
My disciple John, advancing himself
thousands of years over humanity, left
you a luminous example, by
communicating spirit to Spirit with
his Lord. (309, 47 - 51)
My peace be with you !

Chapter 38 - The Three Divine Revelations and the Seven Seals
The Revelations of God and
Spiritual Development
1. In the three eras into which I have
divided the evolution of mankind, I
have come to mark for you with My
light, the same straight and narrow
way for the elevation of the spirit, the
only path of love, truth and justice.
2. I have guided you from teaching
to teaching, from revelation to
revelation, until you have reached this
period in which I have announced that
you are able to communicate with Me
from spirit to Spirit. Could mankind
have communicated with Me in that
manner during the First Era? No; it
was necessary that it be aided by a
material worship, with rituals and
ceremonies, with a traditional feast
and with symbols in order to feel
closer to the Divine and the Spiritual.
From that inability to approach the
spiritual, to elevate themselves toward
the Divine, to know what is profound
and to clarify all Mysteries, the
different religions appeared, each one
according to the grade of
backwardness or spiritual
advancement of men: Some were
more devoted to the truth than others,
some were more spiritualized than
others; but all were striving toward
the same goal. It is the path which all
spirits have traveled throughout the
centuries and eras, a path followed by
the different religions. Some have
advanced very slowly, others are at a
standstill and still others have been
falsified and contaminated. (12, 92 -
93)
3. Today I have come in Spirit and
truly I say to you: There are some
who believe that during the first times
I was closer to you than I am today:
They judge incorrectly, for at each of
My comings I have been nearer to
you.
4. Remember that in the First Era I
descended upon a mount and from
there I conveyed My Law engraved
upon a rock; during the Second Era, I
left the summit of the mount in order
to descend into your valleys,
becoming man to live among you; and
in this period in order to be nearer, I
have made My dwelling place within
your heart to manifest Myself there
and speak to mankind from within. (3,
31)
5. Do you understand that I divided
My Divine Revelation into three great
eras?
6. It was in the spiritual infancy of
mankind that the Father gave to them
the Law, and promised a Messiah who
would come to open the door to a new
era.
7. The Messiah was Christ, who
came among men when these were
still in their spiritual infancy. He came
to teach men a higher manner of
complying with the law that they had
earlier received from the Father and
had not known how to obey. The
Word of God spoke through the lips
Chapter 38 - The Three Divine Revelations and the Seven Seals
334
of Jesus, and so I say that the world
continued hearing the voice and
commandments of its Father by
means of the doctrine of love of the
perfect Master.
8. Jesus, in his turn, offered to send
the Spirit of Truth to men, to help
them understand all that of his
teachings not understood by them.
9. Well, beloved people, this simple
and humble word that you now hear is
the voice of the Spirit of Truth, it is
the spiritual light of God that pours
out over your being so that you may
open your eyes to the new era. That
light that begins to make you
understand all the revelations of your
Master clearly, is the light of your
Father, the Holy Spirit, which finds
humanity in greater heights of
spiritual evolution, that is to say,
when it is approaching maturity, to
understand the revelations of God.
10. In all that this light reveals you
are receiving the teaching of the
Father, for the Word is in Me, and the
Holy Spirit is My own Wisdom. (132,
10 - 15)
11. I did not speak to you thus in the
past times. In the First Era, the Law
illuminated the human spirit; in the
Second Era, Christ illuminated the
hearts of men with the light of love.
Today the Holy Spirit illuminates
your spirit to elevate it above all that
is human.
12. You have received these three
messages from one single God, and
between one and the next an Era has
passed, the time necessary for the
evolution of the spirit, so that it can
receive the new message, or the new
lesson.
13. Now, you can understand why I
have called you the disciples of the
Holy Spirit. (229, 50 - 52)
14. If in the first revelations I had
told you all, you would not have
needed the Master: the Messiah, to
teach you new lessons, nor that the
Holy Spirit come in this time to show
you the greatness of the spiritual life.
15. For which reason I tell you that
you should not bind yourselves to that
which was revealed to you in the first
eras as though it had been the last
words of My Doctrine.
16. I came again among men, and for
a long time I have communicated with
them through their understanding, and
still I can tell you, that My last word
has not yet been spoken.
17. Seek always in My book of
wisdom for the last word, the new
page that reveals to you the
significance of the earlier content, so
that you may truly be My disciples.
(149, 44 - 45)
The Three Testaments of God
18. Moses, Jesus, and Elijah: there is
the road the Lord has marked to help
men elevate themselves to the
Kingdom of peace, light, and
perfection.
19. Feel the presence of the Lord's
envoys in your life. None of them
have died. They live on to illuminate
the road of men who have become
lost, helping them to arise again from
Chapter 38 - The Three Divine Revelations and the Seven Seals
335
their falls, and strengthening them so
that they may give themselves with
love to fulfillment in the trials of
restitution.
20. Understand the work that Moses
completed on earth through the
Inspiration of Jehovah. Analyze the
teaching of Jesus, through whom the
Divine Word spoke, and seek the
spiritual sense of My new revelation,
whose Era is represented by Elijah.
(29, 20 - 22)
21. If My birth as Man during the
Second Era was a miracle and My
spiritual ascension after My bodily
death was another miracle; truly I say
to you that My communication during
this time through human
understanding, is also a spiritual
miracle.
22. Up to the last of My prophecies,
will be fulfilled during this time. I
leave you My three Testaments,
forming One only.
23. He who has not known the
Father as love, sacrifice and
forgiveness, let him know Him fully
during this period, so that instead of
fearing His justice, He may love and
venerate Him.
24. If you were devoted to the Law
during the First Era, it was for fear
that the Divine justice would punish
you, but for that reason I sent you My
Word so that you would understand
that God is Love.
25. Today My light comes to you so
that you will not lose yourselves and
will be able to reach the end of the
road being faithful to My Law. (4, 43
- 47)
26. My new lessons are the
confirmation of those that I gave you
in the Second Era, but they are yet
more elevated. In that time I spoke to
the hearts of men, but now I speak to
their spirits.
27. I do not come to disown any of
the words I spoke to you in the past,
on the contrary, I come to duly fulfill
them and give them their just
explanation. Just as in those times I
said to the Pharisees who believed
that Jesus had come to destroy the
Law: "Do not think that I have come
to cancel the law, or the prophets; on
the contrary, to comply with them."
How could I have disowned that Law
or those prophecies, if they were the
foundation of the temple that in three
eras was to be constructed in the
hearts of this humanity, and was the
announcement of My coming to the
world? (99, 24 - 25)
28. Today I say to you again: "I am
the Way, the Truth and the Life.” And
if you look for the essence of My
Word in this era, you shall find in it
the eternal Law of love, that same
pathway which I outlined for you on
earth.
29. In that era, many believed that
Christ had come mistaking the path
and altering the Law. That is why they
fought against him and persecuted
him; but the truth, like the light of the
sun always imposes itself over the
darkness. Now My Word will again
Chapter 38 - The Three Divine Revelations and the Seven Seals
336
be combated because there shall be
some who believe they have found
contradictions, confusions and errors
in its essence, but its light will again
shine in the darkness of this era, and
humanity shall see that the way and
the Law which I have revealed to you,
is the same of that Era and will always
be the same. (56, 69 - 70)
30. This teaching is the road to
eternal life; all who discover elevation
and perfection in this doctrine will
know how to reconcile it to that which
I confided to you when I was on the
earth, for its essence is the same.
31. He who does not know how to
find the truth contained in My lessons,
may even affirm that this doctrine
does not lead to the same end as the
teachings of Jesus; spirits blinded by
misinterpretations or confused by
religious fanaticism, may not quickly
understand the truth of these
revelations, but must travel a road of
trials to quit themselves of the
materialism that prevents them from
understanding and complying with
My precept that teaches you to love
one another. (83, 42 - 43)
32. In vain will many men say that
this Doctrine is new, or that it has no
relation to Divine revelations given to
you in the past. I assure you that what
I have told you in this time through
the conduit of human understanding
has its roots and foundations in that
which was prophesized in the First
and Second Times.
33. But the confusion of which I tell
you, will arise because they who have
interpreted those revelations have
imposed their analyses on humanity,
and these analyses have been in part
correct, and in part mistaken. It also
will be because the spiritual light of
My teachings has been hidden from
men and at times has been given out
in adulterated form. That is why now
when My light has come to rescue
you from the darkness of your
ignorance, many men deny that this
can be the light of truth, because it
does not, by their criteria, accord with
what I taught you before.
34. I assure you that none of My
words will be lost, and that the men of
this time will come to know what I
said to them in times past. Then, when
the world knows Spirituality, it will
say: "Truly, Jesus said all of this."
35. Yes, I said it all before, though
of many of the revealed truths I had
shown only the principles; I left them
for you to begin to understand, for in
that time, humanity was not yet
prepared to understand all that I have
now come to show you fully. (155, 24
- 27)
The Third Era (Time)
36. This is the Third Era, in which I
have come to teach you the lesson that
must spiritually unite humanity, for it
is My Will that languages, races, and
different ideologies no longer be an
obstacle to its unification. The essence
with which I formed each spirit is the
same that all possess, and the
substances that make up the blood that
Chapter 38 - The Three Divine Revelations and the Seven Seals
337
runs through the veins of men is the
same in all. Therefore, all are equal
and worthy of Me, and I have come
again for all of you. (95, 9)
37. The transformations that human
life suffers will be so great, that it will
seem to you as though this world had
ended, and another been born.
38. Thus, as in all times, the life of
man has been divided into eras, or
ages, and each of them has been
defined by something, whether by its
discoveries, by the Divine revelations
received, or by its development in the
sense of beauty, which they call art, or
by its science; so the Era which now
begins, the Era that is arriving like a
new dawn, will be typified by the
development of the gifts of the spirit,
the part that you should have
cultivated in order to avoid so many
evils, and which you always left to
later.
39. Do you not believe that human
life can transform itself totally,
developing spirituality, cultivating the
gifts of the spirit, and establishing the
law dictated by the conscience in this
world?
40. Soon all the peoples will
understand that God has spoken in
each era, that the Divine revelations
were the ladder that the Lord has
lowered to men so that they may
ascend to Him.
41. Some will call this new time the
Era of light, others the Era of the Holy
Spirit, others the time of truth. And I
say to you, it will be the time of
elevation, the time of spiritual
recovery and of revindication.
42. This is the Era that I have long
wished to live in the heart of man, but
which has been continually battled
against and destroyed by man. A time
whose clarity is seen by all, and under
whose light all the children of the
Lord are united; not in a religion of
men that chooses some and rejects
others, that proclaims its own truth
and denies that of others, that employs
unworthy weapons with which it
imposes itself, or that gives out
darkness instead of light. (135, 53 - 54
and 57 - 59)
43. This is the Third Era, in which
the spirit of humanity must liberate
itself from the chains of materialism;
this shall bring about the greatest
struggle of ideas in the history of man.
44. Perversity, selfishness,
arrogance, vice, lies, and all that has
shadowed your lives, shall fall like
broken idols at the feet of the
worshipers to give way to humility.
(295, 64 - 65)
The Seven Seals of Sacred History
45. The first of these phases of
spiritual evolution in the world is
represented by Abel, the first minister
of the Father, who offered his
sacrifice to God. He is the symbol of
sacrifice. Envy rose up against him.
46./1 The second stage was
represented by Noah. He is the
symbol of faith; He constructed the
ark from Divine inspiration, and led
men into it to reach salvation. Against
Chapter 38 - The Three Divine Revelations and the Seven Seals
338
him, the multitudes railed with doubt,
mockery, and the paganism of their
spirits, yet Noah left his seed of faith.
46./2 The third stage is represented
by Jacob. He symbolizes strength; He
is Israel, the strong. Spiritually He
saw the ladder by which all of you
will ascend to sit at the right hand of
the Creator. The angel of the Lord
rose up to test his strength and
perseverance.
47. The fourth is symbolized by
Moses. He represents the Law. He
presented the tablets whereon it was
written for the humanity of all times.
It was He who with his immense faith
rescued the people to lead them on the
road of salvation to the Promised
Land. He is the symbol of the Law.
48. The fifth stage is represented by
Jesus, the Divine Word, the Sacrificial
Lamb; He who has spoken to you in
all times and who will continue
speaking to you. He is love, for He
was made man to inhabit the dwelling
places of man, to suffer their pains, to
show humanity the path of sacrifice,
love, and charity, by which it must
achieve redemption from all their sins.
He came as Master to teach, to be
born as part of humanity, to live in
love, to achieve the sacrifice, and to
die loving, forgiving, and blessing. He
represents the fifth stage, and his
symbol is love.
49. The sixth stage is represented by
Elijah [called Elias in the New
Testament]. He is the symbol of the
Holy Spirit. It is He who goes on his
chariot of fire bearing light to all
nations and all the worlds that are
unknown to you, but known to Me,
for I am the Father of all the worlds
and all the creatures. This is the stage
in which you are living, that of Elijah;
it is his light that illuminates you. He
represents the teachings that were
hidden but that are being revealed to
mankind in this era.
50. The seventh stage is represented
by the Father himself. He is the end;
the culmination of evolution, in Him
is the stage of grace, the Seventh Seal.
51. Here I have deciphered the
Mystery of the Seven Seals, that is
why I say to you that this is the Sixth
Seal, for five of them have already
passed, the sixth is unleashed, but the
seventh remains sealed; the time for
its contents has not yet arrived, there
is time yet before that stage appears
before you. When that stage arrives,
there shall be grace, perfection, and
peace, but O, how much man will
weep to purify his spirit! (161, 54 -
61)
52. The book of the Seven Seals is
the history of your life, of your
evolution on earth, with all its
struggles, passions, conflicts and
finally with the triumph of the good
and justice, of love and spirituality
over the passions of materialism.
53. Believe truly that everything
leads to a spiritual and eternal goal, so
that you may give each lesson its
rightful place that corresponds to it.
54. While the light of the Sixth Seal
illuminates you, it will be a time of
conflict, of vigilance and purification,
but when that period has passed, you
Chapter 38 - The Three Divine Revelations and the Seven Seals
339
will have reached a new stage in
which the Seventh Seal will open new
revelations to you. With what
satisfaction and joy will the new time
be received by the spirit when it is
surprised in a cleansed and prepared
state. While the Sixth Seal illuminates
you, flesh and spirit will be purified.
(13, 53 - 55)
55. The book that was sealed in the
heavens, has been opened to the Sixth
Chapter, it is the Book of the Seven
Seals which contains wisdom and
judgment, and which was unleashed
by My love for you, to reveal to you
its profound lessons.
56. Man has lived for five stages
*
on
earth, encouraged by the Divine
breath of the spirit; in spite of which
He has been unable to understand the
spiritual sense of life, the purpose of
his existence, his destiny, and his
essence; all was an impenetrable
Mystery for his mind, as well as to his
spirit, a sealed book whose contents
He could not interpret.
*
38,56 In this translation, the word "stages"
is used for the Spanish "etapas", which
correspond to the respective chapters of the
Book of the Seven Seals, as explained in the
text. The use of "era" in the English translation
(when referring the three great eras of Moses,
Jesus, and Eljah, or Elias, as explained in this
book) is a substitution for the Spanish
"tiempos", which properly would correspond
to "times" in English. The substitution was
decided on to aid the reader in following the
complexities of the text.
57. He vaguely sensed the spiritual
life, but without truly knowing the
ladder of elevation that brings beings
closer to God, He did not know of his
highest mission on earth and the
virtues and gifts that form part of his
spirit in order to triumph in the
struggles, to raise himself above
human miseries, and perfect himself
spiritually to inhabit the eternal light.
58. It was necessary that the Divine
book be opened, and that men
contemplate its contents in order for
them to be saved from the darkness of
ignorance that is the source of all the
evils that exist on earth. Who could
open that book: by chance a
theologian, a scientist, or a
philosopher? No, none of them, not
even the righteous spirits could reveal
its content to you, for what the book
kept within was the wisdom of God.
59. Only Christ, the Word, only He,
the Divine love, could do so, but even
so, it was necessary to wait for men to
be ready to receive the Divine
revelation without being blinded by
the splendor of My spiritual presence
and mankind had to live through five
stages of trials, lessons, experience,
and evolution in order to reach the fair
development that permits them to
understand the Mysteries that the
Arcane of God keeps for men.
60. The Law of God, his Divine
word given through Christ and all the
messages of the prophets, envoys, and
emissaries, were the seed that
maintained the faith of humanity in a
Divine promise that has always
Chapter 38 - The Three Divine Revelations and the Seven Seals
340
proclaimed light, salvation, and
justice for all men.
61. This is the time awaited for the
Great Revelation, that through which
you will understand all that I have
shown you throughout the times, and
so that you will know who your
Father is, who you are, and the reason
for your existence.
62. This is the time in which, for the
spiritual evolution you have achieved,
the trials you have passed through,
and the experience you have gathered,
you may receive in your spirit that
which comes from My Spirit, the light
of wisdom, reserved in My Arcane in
wait for your preparation. Still,
humanity having reached the grade of
evolution necessary to receive My
message, I have sent you the first ray
of My light, that which has made the
rude and simple men, who serve as
My spokesmen, speak in ecstasy
through My inspiration.
63. This ray of light has been only of
preparation, it is like the pre - dawn
light that announces the new day.
Later, My light shall come to you
fully, illuminating your existence and
dispelling even the last shadows of
ignorance, sin, and misery.
64. This era, whose dawn you
admire in the infinite, is the sixth
stage initiated in the spiritual life of
humanity, an Era of light, of
revelations, of fulfillment of the
ancient prophecies and forgotten
promises. It is the Sixth Seal, upon its
unleashing overflowing with its
content of wisdom your spirit in a
message full of justice, clarification,
and revelations. (269, 10 - 18)
65. Disciples: I wish the virtues of
your heart to be the vestment that
covers the nakedness of your spirit.
This is the Comforting Spirit,
promised in the Second Era, speaking
to you.
66. The Father knew already of the
pain and trials that would bow
humanity, and of the degree of
perversity that men would reach. The
arrival of the Comforter means for
you the opening of the Sixth Seal, and
the beginning of a new stage in the
evolution of humanity. From that
moment a Divine Judgment was
opened for all men. Each life, each
work, each step is strictly judged; it is
the end of an era, not the end of life.
67. It is the end of the times of sin,
and it is necessary that all the contents
of the Sixth Seal of the book of God
be poured out into the spirits,
wakening them from their lethargy, so
that man rises up bearing the harmony
of his spirit with all of creation; and
that He prepare for the unleashing of
the Seventh Seal by the Lamb, which
will bring the final dregs of the cup of
bitterness, but also the triumph of
truth, love, and Divine justice. (107,
17 - 19)
68. In this Era I wish humanity to
prepare, so that when the last Seal is
opened, men realize it, listen to it, and
understand the content of the new
revelations. I wish the nations and
Chapter 38 - The Three Divine Revelations and the Seven Seals
341
peoples to strengthen themselves to
withstand the bitterness of those days.
69. Those who know how to pass the
tests of those times I shall call
blessed, and I shall give them a
reward for their perseverance and
their faith in My power, leaving them
as the parents of a new humanity.
(111, 10 - 11)
70. When the Seventh Seal has been
closed, together with the other six, the
book that has been the judgment of
God on the works of men from the
first to the last will also be closed.
Then the Lord will open another
book, its pages blank, to note in it the
resurrection of the dead, the liberation
of the oppressed, the regeneration of
the sinners, and the triumph of good
over evil. (107, 20)
My peace be with you !

Chapter 39 - Earthly and Spiritual Israel
The Historic Mission of Israel: its
Failure
1. Verily I say to you that if mankind
had persevered within the Law which
their conscience dictated inwardly, it
would not have been necessary to
send you guides nor prophets, nor
would it have been necessary for your
Lord to descend among you, even to
engrave My Law in stone during the
First Era, or having to become human
and die as a Man upon a cross in the
Second Era.
2. If I formed a people and lavished
them with gifts, it was not so they
could exalt themselves and humiliate
others, but rather for them to be an
example of submission before the true
God and an example of brotherhood
among men.
3. I chose this people so that they
would be an instrument of My will on
earth and carrier of My revelations, so
they would invite everyone to live
within My Law and so that all
humanity would become the only
people of the Father.
4. If this people have suffered
greatly in spite of being the chosen, it
is because they believed the heritage
was only for them, that their God
could not have been a God for the
pagans, because they regarded other
people as strangers and did not share
with them what the Father had
entrusted to them. If I separated them
for a time from other people, it was
because I did not want them to
become contaminated with
wickedness and materialism.
5. However, when they stuck
obstinately to their egotism and
regarded themselves great and strong,
I demonstrated to them that their
power and their greatness were false,
and I permitted other nations to
descend upon them and reduce them
to servitude. Kings, Pharaohs and
Caesars were their lords, when I had
offered to be their Lord.
6. The Father, in His infinite love,
again manifested Himself to His
people to give them their freedom and
remind them of their mission; and
during this period I have come to
deliver to them My lessons of love,
and it is only My gaze that is able to
discover among mankind the sons of
Israel whom I am calling and
congregating so that they may receive
the light of the Holy Spirit.
7. I have come to manifest Myself
before your spirit because the time is
long gone when I spoke to you
through Nature and by means of
material manifestations that you
called miracles. Now you can feel Me
within your spirit as well as deep
inside your heart.
8. During this era, Palestine has not
been the witness of My manifestation
because it is not a specific place that I
come to seek, but rather your spirit. I
search for the people of Israel of the
spirit, not of blood: for the people
who have the spiritual seed that
throughout all the eras they have
Chapter 39 - Earthly and Spiritual Israel
344
received through My charity. (63, 64 -
69)
The Separation of the Jewish
People into earthly and Spiritual
Creeds
9. It was necessary that the Father,
after his parting, strike from the hands
of his people on earth the land which
had been entrusted to them from the
time of their ancestors.
10. From some of them it was taken
as a restitution, and from others as a
reward; for that land of Canaan, that
beautiful Palestine of past times, was
prepared by Me only as a symbol of
the true Promised Land of the spirit,
and upon stripping that people of
those possessions, the materialist Jews
roamed over the face of the earth, and
on the other hand, the faithful, those
who had always sensed My presence,
remained awaiting My Will, without
pain at having renounced that
inheritance from the past, knowing
that the Father had conceded to them
a new grace: the inheritance of his
Word, the Divine Word, and of his
sacrifice and his blood.
11. They lived fully in the Third Era,
and in these days, My gaze finds My
people of Israel still divided into two
parts. One, materialist, enriched by
the goods of the earth for their own
restitution and shaking the
foundations of the earth with their
power; for they have placed the
strength, the talent, and the graces that
the Father poured out over their spirits
in service to themselves, their
ambition, and their greatness.
12. See how that people has given
proof of their strength even within
their materialism, in their sciences,
their will, and their intelligence.
Within, they guard anger for the
hunger, the enslavement, the
humiliations they suffered, and today,
arrogant and strong they have risen up
to humiliate other peoples, to make
them tremble at their strength, and to
dominate them. Today they are the
satiated ones, and they are pleased to
see the millions who are hungry and
the great peoples as slaves, slaves of
their money, of their strength, of their
science, and of their ambition.
13. I also see the other part of My
people: the faithful and determined,
those who have always known how to
feel My presence, those who have
always recognized My coming to
men, those who have believed in My
revelations and who have obeyed and
complied in spite of all.
14. That other part is not only you
who have been witnesses to My
communication through human
understanding in this time, for part of
the people of spiritual Israel is
scattered over the globe, and wherever
any one of them is found, He or she
receives My charity, feels My
presence, is sustained by My bread,
and awaits Me, without knowing
where I might come, nor in what
form; yet they wait.
15. However, those who do know
how I have come, how I have
communicated, those who know with
certainty My revelations, those who
are prepared for the times to come, are
Chapter 39 - Earthly and Spiritual Israel
345
you who form part of the 144,000
chosen by Me from the twelve tribes
of that people; one - hundred and
forty - four thousand who shall be
before the numerous people of Israel,
like 144,000 captains who will make
it march into the great battle of the
Third Era.
16. Do you believe that My people
will always be divided? Truly, I tell
you, they will not. To you have come
the teachings, the light, and the trials.
To them also My justice and trials
have come: I lead them in giant steps
toward the awakening of the spirit,
and although it is true that in the first
moments they will deny My Third
Coming to the world, as they denied
the Second, I tell you, the moment of
their conversion is not far off. They
live in their ancient traditions; yet I
probe the spirit and the heart of the
Jewish people, and I tell you that they
keep their traditions more from
convenience and fear of spiritual
Revelations, than from inner
conviction; they tremble before the
manifestations of the Beyond. This is
what I shall propose to them: That
they give up all that is superfluous,
and practice charity, love, and
humility.
17. You shall have to come before
them, and each shall wield their
weapons. On one side, the Word,
thought, prayer, and evidence; the
others their talent, power, and
traditions. But I shall be present in the
struggle, and I will bring about the
true triumph of My justice, bring
about the triumph of spirituality, I will
make the spirit rise over the flesh, that
it bows it and humiliates it; then shall
come the reconciliation of the tribes
of Israel, and the unification of the
people of the Lord.
18. When that people is prepared,
truly I tell you, they will take up and
carry to completion the great mission
with which from the beginning of
time God has assigned his chosen
people, chosen because they were his
firstborn and the bearers of the Lord's
revelations so that, like an older
brother they could lead the others,
share His grace with them, and carry
all to the right hand of the Father.
(332, 17 - 21)
The Spiritual People of Israel
19. When I speak of "My people of
Israel", the "People of God", I refer to
those who have brought a spiritual
mission to earth, those who made
known My Law, those who
proclaimed Me, those who were
faithful, those who proclaimed the
existence of the living God, those who
perpetuated the seed of love, and
those who knew how to recognize in
the Son, the Word and the presence of
the Father. These are those that form
the people of God, that is Israel, the
strong, the faithful, the prudent Israel:
that is My legion of soldiers faithful
to the Law, faithful to the truth.
20. Those who persecuted My
prophets, who lacerated the heart of
My envoys, those who turned their
backs on the true God to bow before
idols, who denied and mocked Me,
demanding My blood and My life,
Chapter 39 - Earthly and Spiritual Israel
346
those, although by race called Israelis,
were not the chosen people, were not
of the people of the prophets, the
legion of the enlightened, of the
faithful soldiers, for Israel is a
spiritual name that was taken
incorrectly to designate a race.
21. You should also know that all
who aspire to form part of My people,
can do so by means of their love,
charity, and their zeal and faithfulness
for the law.
22. My people has no fixed lands or
cities in the world, My people has no
race, but is found among all races
throughout humanity. That proportion
of mankind that hears My word and
receives the new revelations are only
a part of My people; another part is
disseminated around the earth, and
another, the greatest part, inhabit the
spiritual vale.
23. That is My people: those who
acknowledge and love Me, who obey
and follow Me. (159, 55 - 59)
24. Today I ask you, "Where is My
people?" Where is that people who
were prudent when faced with trials,
strong in battle, and steadfast in the
struggles? It is dispersed throughout
the world. Yet, I shall raise My voice
and reunite them spiritually, so that
they may go before all the peoples,
but I tell you that My people is now
formed of men of all races, and they
shall come to understand the alliance
that I expect of all men.
25. This people will be strong and
combative, but shall not have
weapons that kill, nor the chariots of
war, neither shall they sing hymns of
destruction. Their banner shall be
peace, their sword, truth, and their
shield, love.
26. None can discover where that
people is, but it shall be everywhere:
its enemies will try to destroy it, but
will not be able, for they shall never
be gathered physically: their union,
their order, and their harmony, shall
be spiritual. (157, 48 - 50)
27. In this time the spirit of the real
Israel vibrates everywhere; they are
the spirits that feel My presence, that
await My coming, and trust in My
justice.
28. When these words come to other
places, many will mock them. But I
tell you that it would be better that
they did not mock, for the time will
come when they awaken from their
lethargy and know that they too are
children of the people of God.
29. These multitudes that today hear
Me might fall into confusion if they
do not study My word and if they do
not put off their materialism. The
same may happen to them as to the
Israelites of the earliest times, who
heard the voice of the Lord, received
the law, and had prophets, so they
came to believe themselves the only
people beloved of God; a grave error
from which the great trials came to
save them: humiliation, exile, and
captivity.
30. It is necessary that you know that
My love could not segregate you in
races or creeds, and when I speak of
My people, it is because from the first
Chapter 39 - Earthly and Spiritual Israel
347
times I have been preparing spirits to
be sent to earth to illuminate the path
of humanity.
31. They have been the eternal
travelers that have inhabited the
various nations and have passed
through many trials. In this time, they
have found that human laws are
unjust, that there is no truth in the
affections, and no peace in the spirit,
of humanity. (103, 10 - 14)
32. The People of God shall rise up
once again among humanity, not as a
people personified in a race, but as a
multitude, a legion of My disciples, in
which only the spirit, and not any
blood, race, or language shall
dominate.
33. This people will not limit
themselves to teaching My Doctrine
through writings; so that the words
have life it is necessary to live them;
this people shall not disseminate only
books and writings, but also deeds
and examples.
34. Today I am freeing you of all
that is superfluous, all that is impure
or wrong, so that you may enter into a
life that is simple and clean, from
which your spirits can ascend offering
testimony by its works.
35. When the time has come, I will
present My people to humanity, and
the master shall not be embarrassed
by his disciples, nor shall his disciples
deny their Master. That moment will
coincide with the war of ideas, from
which shall arise like the relief of
peace, like a ray of light, Spiritualism.
(292, 28 - 31)
36. My people grows, it multiplies,
not only on earth, but also in the
spiritual valley. Among those spiritual
multitudes are found those who had
blood - ties with you, whether they
were your parents, your brothers, or
your children.
37. Do not be surprised when I tell
you that My people is so numerous,
that the earth to hold them would have
to be much larger. When I have
reunited them, and not even one of
My children is missing, they will be
given the infinite as their dwelling,
that never - ending valley of light and
grace.
38. Here on earth, I come only to
prepare you, to instruct you in My
Doctrine, so that you know how to
approach that life. This humanity is
only a portion of the people of God; it
is necessary that all know these
explanations in order to put their lives
on the road to the ideal of perfection.
39. This Divine message, which is
My Word poured out through the lips
of the human spokesmen, I wish it to
reach all humanity. My Word is the
ringing bell that calls the world; its
essence shall move the peoples,
making them awaken to meditate on
spirituality, on the destiny of the spirit
after this life. (100, 35 - 37)
The One Hundred and Forty - four
Thousand Chosen
40. To extend My work in this, the
Third Era, I have come to choose,
from among the great masses,
144,000 spirits, marking them by the
kiss of Divine light, not a kiss of
Chapter 39 - Earthly and Spiritual Israel
348
betrayal, nor the sign of a pact that
would put your spirit in danger. My
mark is a sign that the Holy Spirit
deposits upon those it has chosen to
carry out a great mission in this, the
Third Era.
41. He who bears this sign is not
safe from dangers; on the contrary, He
is tried and tempted more than any.
Remember each one of the twelve
chosen by Me in the Second Time,
and you can confirm what I tell you.
They had moments of doubt, of
weakness, and of confusion; there was
even one who betrayed Me to My
executioners with a kiss.
42. How much the chosen of this
time shall have to pray and keep vigil
to not fall into temptation. Even so, I
tell you truly that among the 144,000
there shall be traitors.
43. The mark means a calling,
missions, and responsibility before
God. It is not a guarantee against
temptations or illnesses. If it were,
what merit would there be in My
chosen? What effort would it be for
your spirit to remain faithful to My
word?
44. I speak to you in this way
because there are many hearts among
this multitude that would wish to form
part of those who have been marked,
but I have seen that rather than the
yearning to serve humanity with the
gifts that the mark bestows, it is the
desire to feel secure or vanity that
moves them to ask Me to call them. I
will test these petty ones, and they
will be convinced that there is truth in
My words.
45. The mark is an invisible sign by
which those who bear it with love,
respect, zeal, and humility can
complete their mission. You will then
see that the mark is a Divine grace
that is superior to pain, that
illuminates you in your greatest trials,
that reveals profound knowledge, and
which, in any place, can open a
breach for the passage of the spirit.
46. The mark is like a link uniting
whoever possesses it to the Spiritual
World; it is the channel by which the
thoughts and words of the Spiritual
World manifest in yours; [know then]
by My words, that the marked one is a
messenger, an envoy, and My
instrument.
47. The commitment and
responsibility of the marked one
toward My Work is great, but He is
not alone on his path; by his side there
walks a guardian angel who protects,
guides, inspires, and strengthens him.
48. Oh, how strong has been He who
knows how to embrace his cross with
love, and how hard and bitter has been
the road of the chosen one who has
not known how to carry with him the
Divine sign of the chosen in the Third
Era!
49. I tell all you who hear Me: learn
to pray and keep vigil, to carry your
cross with love and practice
righteousness and obedience so that
this life, which has been the most
luminous reincarnation of your spirit,
is not sterile, making you lament the
time lost and the gifts unused.
50. Meditate, all of you, marked or
unmarked, on this lesson, for all of
Chapter 39 - Earthly and Spiritual Israel
349
you have a destiny to fulfill within
My work. (306, 3 - 4 and 7 - 12)
51. The tribes of the Israel of the
Spirit are very numerous, from each I
will select 12,000 and shall mark
them on their foreheads, but the
people of Israel are not limited to
144,000; the chosen people is infinite.
52. The Master taught you in the
second Era, that many are called but
few are chosen, and all of Israel shall
be called, but from among them, I
shall mark out 144,000. In all I shall
place peace, spirituality, and the
principle of spirit to Spirit
communication. (312, 7 - 8)
53. I am the Universal Father, My
love descends to all hearts; I have
come to all the peoples of the earth,
yet if I have chosen this Mexican
nation as the place for the full
outpouring of My word and My
revelations, it is because I found it to
be humble, have found the virtues in
their homes, and have made the spirits
of the people of Israel reincarnate
among them.
54. Yet, not all belong to this
nationality, nor are all in flesh. The
spirits belonging to the number of the
chosen are disseminated throughout
the world. They have been marked, I
have opened their eyes, have
sensitized their hearts, and from spirit
to Spirit they communicate with Me.
(341, 25)
55. One part of the 144, 000 marked
by Me live among humanity. Those
servants of mine are found
disseminated in the world, complying
with the mission of praying for peace
and working for the brotherhood of
men. They do not know each other,
but some intuitively, and others
because of this revelation, are
fulfilling their destiny of throwing
light onto the path of their brothers.
56. Of those marked by My love,
some are simple men, but others are
men notable in the world; they can
only be distinguished by the
spirituality of their lives and works,
and by the manner of their thinking
about and of understanding the Divine
revelations. They are not idolaters,
fanatics, nor frivolous; they seem to
practice no religion, and nonetheless
from them arises an inner worship of
their spirit with that of their Lord.
57. Those marked by the light of the
Holy Spirit are like lifeboats; they are
guardians, counselors, and
strongholds. I have equipped them
with light in their spirits, and with
peace, strength, with the healing balm,
with keys that invisibly open the most
stubborn doors, and weapons that
overcome obstacles insuperable to
others. It is not necessary that they
show titles awarded by the world for
their gifts to be recognized. They do
not know science, but are doctors, do
not know law, but are counselors, are
poor in the goods of the earth, and yet
may do much good on their way.
58. Among these multitudes who
have come to receive My word, are
many who have come only to confirm
their mission, for it is not on the earth
Chapter 39 - Earthly and Spiritual Israel
350
that they have been given gifts or
been entrusted with a charge. I tell
you truly, that the light that each spirit
possesses is that which it has earned
on the long road of its evolution. (111,
18 - 21)
59. Humanity will believe; My work
will be spread throughout the globe. I
shall begin with the 144,000 marked
out, who shall struggle with
obedience, love, and zeal in the time
of the wars of beliefs and doctrines;
and who in the midst of that battle
shall be a link that proposes to the
world, not the chains of slavery, but
that of spiritual alliance that will be
one of freedom and brotherhood.
Those soldiers shall not be alone, My
Spiritual World shall follow and
protect them, they shall perform
marvels as they go, and in this way
giving testimony to My truth. (137, 9)
My peace be with you !
351
Chapter 40 - The Forces of Good and Evil
The Origin of Good and Evil
1. Upon forming you the Father
placed you on the first step of the
ladder so that as you traveled that
road you would have the opportunity
to truly know and understand your
Creator. Yet, few began the journey of
ascent from the first step. Most
gathered in disobedience and
rebellion, making poor use of the gift
of freedom and ignoring the dictates
of the conscience; allowed themselves
to be dominated by the material in
order to create through their
vibrations a force, that of evil, and to
dig an abyss toward which their
influence dragged their brothers; they
began a desperate battle between their
weaknesses and perversities, and their
yearning for elevation and purity. (35,
38)
2. Original sin does not come from
the union of man and woman: I, the
Creator, established that union telling
them both: "Grow and multiply." That
was the first Law; the sin was in the
abuse that they have made of the gift
of free will. (99, 62)
3. The flesh fears the struggle with
the spirit, and seeks the form to tempt
it with pleasures of the world to
impede its freedom, or at least to
postpone it. See how man carries
within him his own tempter, that is
why I have said that when He can
manage to overcome himself, He will
have won the battle. (97, 37)
4. In this time when even the air, the
soil, and the water are poisoned by the
evils of men, how few there are who
are not contaminated by evil or
darkness. (144, 44)
5. The clamor of humanity comes to
Me; the anguish of children and
young people, as well as of men and
women of mature age and the elderly
rises up; it is a voice that calls for
justice, it is an invocation of peace
and mercy that the spirit makes
because the seed of love in this world
has been lost. Do you know where
that love is? In the depths of the
human heart, so far buried that He
cannot find it, because hatred,
ambitions, science, and vanity have
drowned the seed and there is no
spirituality, and no mercy; the cup of
bitterness continues being filled, and
the world drinks it to the dregs. (218,
12)
6. From altar to altar, from rite to
rite, from sect to sect, men go in
search of the Bread of Life, without
finding it, and faced with
disappointment they become
blasphemers who walk aimless roads
and live without God and without law.
7. And think, people, among them
are the great spirits, for among them I
discover the prophets and the
disciples of the Holy Spirit. (217, 49)
Chapter 40 - The Forces of Good and Evil
352
8. The religions recognize the power
of evil, and have personified it in
human form; they have given it
various names, and attribute to it a
powerful kingdom. Men feel fear
when they believe it near, not
knowing that the temptation lies in
[their own] passions and weaknesses,
nor that inside men both good and evil
are active.
9. Evil predominates in the world in
this time, and has created a strength, a
power, that is manifest in all. In the
spiritual too, there are legions of
imperfect and troubled spirits inclined
to evil and vengeance, whose strength
is joined to human evil to create the
kingdom of evil.
10. That power rebelled against
Jesus in the Second Era, and showed
him its kingdom. My flesh, sensitive
to all, was tempted, but My spiritual
strength overcame the temptation
because I had to be the victor over the
world, the flesh, temptation, and
death. For I was the Master who came
among men to give them an example
of strength. (182, 42 - 43)
11. You can recognize My presence
by the peace you feel in your spirit.
None but I can give you true peace; a
spirit in darkness cannot give it to
you. I tell you this because many
hearts fear the subterfuges of a
tempting spirit that men have given
life and form according to their
imaginations.
12. How erroneously the existence
of the prince of darkness has been
interpreted! How many have come to
believe more in his power than in
mine? And how far from truth men
travel in this belief.
13. Evil exists; from it all vices and
sins have derived. The sinners, or
rather, those who practice evil, have
always existed on earth just as in
other worlds or dwelling places. Yet,
why personify all existing evil in one
being, and why do you have him
confront the Divinity? I ask you, what
is an impure being compared to My
absolute and infinite power, and what
does your sin mean to My perfection?
14. Sin was not born in the world;
upon springing from God some of the
spirits remained on the side of good,
while others, deviating from that road,
created another, that of evil.
15. The words and parables which
were given to you in a figurative
sense, as revelations in the first times,
have been erroneously interpreted by
humanity. The intuition that men had
about the supernatural was influenced
by their imagination, and around the
force of evil, sciences, cults,
superstitions, and Myths were formed
that have survived until these times.
16. Demons cannot spring from
God; they were forged by your mind.
The concept you have of that being
which you place as My adversary at
every step, is false.
17. I have taught you to keep vigil
and pray to free yourself from evil
temptations and influences, which can
come from human beings just as from
spiritual ones.
18. I have told you to impose the
spirit on the flesh, for the latter is a
Chapter 40 - The Forces of Good and Evil
353
fragile creature who is in danger of
stumbling at every step if you do not
watch over it. The heart, the mind,
and the senses are the open door for
the passions of the world that buffet
the spirit.
19. If you have imagined the spirits
of the darkness as monsters, I see
them only as imperfect creatures to
whom I offer My hand to rescue them,
for they too are My children. (114, 54
– 62)
20. Whenever you do good, you say:
"I am noble, I am generous, I am
charitable, that is why I do this." I tell
you, if you did these works in the
name of the Lord you would be
humble for the goodness is from God,
and He has given it to your spirit.
21. Therefore, whosoever attributes
his good works to his human heart is
denying his own spirit and He who
dressed it in such virtues.
22. In contrast, when you do wrong
you wash your hands like Pilate, and
attribute the deed to the Father,
saying: "It was the will of God. It was
written. God wished it so," or "It is
fate."
23. You say that nothing happens
without the will of God to excuse
yourself for your errors. Yet, truly I
tell you that you are wrong, for your
errors and your pettiness do happen
without being the Will of God.
24. Do you see how the Omnipotent
never imposes himself on you by
force, through his power? No, that is
what you do with your weaker
brothers.
25. Truly I tell you: the evil,
impurity, and lack of harmony are
yours; the love, patience, and serenity
are from God.
26. When you love, it is the creator
of your spirit who inspires you, but
when you hate, it is you yourselves,
your weakness that impels you and
makes you lost. Whenever something
bad happens in your life, you may be
sure that it is of your making.
27. Then you ask: "Why does God
permit this? Does He not suffer for
our sins, and weep upon seeing us
weep? What would it cost Him to
save us from these falls?"
28. I tell you that while you cannot
love, God will be something you
cannot understand, for the
magnanimity of your Creator is
beyond your comprehension.
29. Make yourselves strong, great,
and wise; learn to love; when you
love you will not have the infantile
tendency to analyze God, for you
shall then look upon and feel Him,
and that will satisfy you. (248, 29 -
32)
Arrogance and Humility
30. Make of humility one of your
best allies for reaching elevation, for
the gates of Heaven, which is the
kingdom of the conscience, are
completely closed to the arrogant.
They have never passed those gates,
and never will be able to, but when
the arrogant become humble, I shall
be the first to praise them, and it shall
be My charity that opens to them the
gates of eternity. (89, 45)
Chapter 40 - The Forces of Good and Evil
354
31. That is one more of My lessons,
disciples; truly I tell you, that when
you believe yourself to be strong,
great, or exalted, you distance
yourself from Me, for your pride
drowns the feeling of humility; but
when you consider yourself small,
when you recognize that you are
atoms in the midst of My creation,
then you come closer to Me, for in
your humility you admire Me, love
Me, and feel Me close; it is when you
think in all that is great and
Mysterious that contains God and that
you desire to know and understand,
that you seem to hear the echo of the
Divine whisper in your spirit. (248,
22)
32. Disciples, when a man has true
understanding of the works He has
performed, He does not allow himself
to be blinded by vanity. He knows
that if that ignoble sentiment enters
his being, his intelligence will be
clouded and He will not be able to
advance on the path; He will become
stagnant and succumb to lethargy.
33. Vanity has caused many men to
be lost, toppled many flourishing
peoples, and brought down your
cultures.
34. While those peoples held work,
struggle, and progress as their ideals,
they knew abundance, splendor, and
well - being, but when pride led them
to feel superior, when their ideal of
elevation was exchanged for the
insatiable ambition to have everything
for themselves, and without wishing
to, and without realizing it, they began
the step by step destruction of all they
had built, ending by sinking into the
abyss.
35. The history of humanity is full of
such occurrences. For that reason I
tell you that it is right that a people of
great ideals arise in the world who
while being always conscious of their
good works, do not become vain
about them, and in this way do not
halt in their path, so that the splendor
already reached is tomorrow
surpassed, and continues to grow in
the future.
36. Speaking to you in this way, I do
not seek to inspire in you only
material ambitions; I wish My words
to be interpreted justly so that you
know to apply them to the spiritual
just as to the material.
37. Vanity does not surprise men
only in their material lives. As proof
of what I tell you, look at the falls and
failures of the great religions, rotten at
their bases by their vanity, their
arrogance, and their false exaltation.
When they have believed themselves
to be at the height of their powers,
someone has come to awaken them
from their slumber, making them see
their errors, their deviations, and their
distancing from the Law and truth.
38. Only with true knowledge and
compliance with My Law before the
conscience can humanity rise to an
elevated life, for the conscience,
which is My light, is perfect, is
serene, is just, and shall never be vain
nor loose its way. (295, 18 - 24)
Chapter 40 - The Forces of Good and Evil
355
The Good; the Man of Good Will
39. Know Me, all of you, so that
none may deny Me; know Me so that
your concept of God is founded on
truth, and so that you know that where
good is manifested, there I am.
40. Good cannot be confused with
anything. Good is truth, it is love, it is
charity, it is understanding. Good is
precise, exact, and determined. Know
it, so that you do not err.
41. Each man may go by a different
road; but if all of them meet at one
point, which is the good, they will
come to identify with each other and
unite.
42. It is not thus when they try to
deceive themselves, putting a mask of
evil over the good, and disguising the
good as evil, as happens among men
in this time. (329, 45 - 47)
43. For nearly two thousand years
that you have repeated that phrase
which the shepherds of Bethlehem
heard: "Peace on earth to men of good
will," but when have you put into
practice your good will to make
yourselves worthy of peace? Truly I
say, that you have rather done the
opposite.
44. You have lost the right to repeat
that phrase, that is why I have come
today with new words and lessons, so
that it will not be the phrases or
prayers that will be engraved in your
mind, but the essence of My teaching
which will penetrate into your heart
and spirit.
45. If you wish to repeat My words
just as I come to reveal them, you
may do so, but you must keep in mind
that as long as you do not feel them,
they will have no virtue whatever.
Pronounce them with gentleness and
humility, feel them vibrating within
your heart and I will answer you in
such a manner that I will make your
whole being tremble. (24, 33 - 34)
46. I say again, peace to men of
good will, those who love truth,
because they do something to adhere
to the Divine Will, and those who take
refuge in My protection must
necessarily feel My presence in their
human life just as in the spirit, and in
their struggles, their needs, and their
trials.
47. The men of good will are
obedient children of the Law of their
Father; they walk on the straight path,
and when they suffer greatly, raise up
their spirit to Me, demanding peace
and forgiveness.
48. They know that many times the
pain is necessary, and therefore they
drain the dregs with patience, only
when it becomes unbearable do they
beg for the weight of their cross to be
lightened. "Lord," they say to Me, "I
know that My spirit needs to purify
itself, and to suffer."
49. Blessed are those who think and
pray in this way, for they seek the
example of their Master to apply it to
the trials of their own lives. (258, 52 -
55)
Evil: Man in the Service of Evil
50. In this period the influence of
evil is greater than that of good.
Chapter 40 - The Forces of Good and Evil
356
Therefore, the force which dominates
humanity is that of evil, from which
are derived selfishness, deceit, lust,
pride, pleasure in causing injury,
destruction, and all low passions. The
illnesses which torment man originate
from that moral imbalance.
51. Men do not have the weapons to
fight against those forces, they have
been conquered and taken prisoner to
the abyss of a life without spiritual
light, without true happiness, without
aspirations toward good.
52. Now, while man believes himself
to be at the peak of wisdom, He does
not know that He is in the abyss.
53. I, who know your beginning and
your future in eternity, have given
mankind weapons to battle against the
forces of evil since the First Era. But
they have rejected them and preferred
a battle of evil against evil in which
no one triumphs, for in the end all will
be defeated.
54. It is written that evil shall not
prevail, which means that at the end
of the times it shall be good which
triumphs.
55. If you ask me which were the
weapons with which I endowed
humanity to fight against the forces or
influences of evil, I will tell you that
they were prayer, perseverance in the
law, faith in My word, and love for
one another. (40, 65 - 70)
56. Evil has grown among men, My
people. Kindness, virtue, and love
have been weak faced with the
invasion of evil, illness, plagues,
pests, and calamities. All that is the
foundation of the perverse has
contaminated the hearts of the good; it
has weakened some, and decimated
the ranks of the faithful, for evil has
brought great strength to bear on
humanity.
57. I have allowed that to happen
thus due to the free will that I have
given you, for behind all the
perversity, and all the darkness and
obfuscation of men, there is a Divine
light, the conscience, which is not lost
and never shall be. There is a
principle, which is the spirit, that
keeps immaculate the kiss the Father
gave it, which is the Divine seal with
which I sent all My children onto the
path of the struggle, and due to that
mark none of those spirits will be lost.
(345, 11 - 12)
The Struggle between Good and
Evil
58. You too have been shocked by
the strength of evil that men and
women have manifested throughout
the various periods of your human
life. The book of your history has
gathered their names. In the album of
your existence, in the book where
God notes all of your deeds, all your
works, there too, are their names, and
you have been astonished that a spirit,
a human heart, can shelter such a
strength for evil, and can contain
enough strength not to tremble before
its own deeds, and can silence the
voice of its conscience so as not to
hear the call that God makes to all of
his children through it. Oh, how many
Chapter 40 - The Forces of Good and Evil
357
times the journey of those spirits on
the planet has been long and tedious!
59. Those beings, who in virtue of
their free will have rebelled against
My love and justice, I have taken,
making use of their own disobedience,
to convert them into My servants; and
believing themselves to act freely,
each of their thoughts, their words,
and their deeds has been an
instrument of My justice for
themselves as well as for others.
60. But when shall this reign end?
The Father tells you: The kingdom of
evil has never ruled mankind, for even
in the times of greatest perversity
there have been those faithful to Me,
obedient to My teaching, and apostles
to My Law; but the struggle has
existed since the beginning.
61. Which of those two forces has
been ahead in the struggle up until
now? That of evil. That is why I have
had to come to materialize Myself
among you to help to revive your
hope and faith in Me, and to bring
warmth to your hearts, saying: "You
are not alone on the path, I have never
lied to you. You must not twist the
principles that I have put in you; this
is the road of goodness and love.
(345, 48 - 49)
62. Behold how My light has come
to tear away the darkness from your
world. It is true that I come to combat
men, but only to wipe away all the
evil that is stimulated in their hearts. I
shall place the light and the strength
of My love in those who faithfully
follow Me, and then these shall say:
"Let us seek the dragon that besets us,
the beast that induces us to sin and
offend the Lord. They shall seek it in
the seas and in the desert, in the
mountains and in the jungles, even
among the invisible." But they shall
not find it, for it lives in the heart of
men, of those who have created it, and
there it has grown until it dominates
the earth.
63. When the reflections of My
sword of light wound the hearts of
each man, the strength that proceeds
from evil will be weakened unto
death, and then you shall say: "Lord,
with the Divine strength of your
charity I have defeated the dragon,
that which I believed beset me from
the invisible, never thinking that I
carried it within My heart."
64. When wisdom shines in all men,
who will dare to twist good to evil?
Who would trade the eternal for the
passing? None: I tell you truly,
because all will be strengthened in the
Divine wisdom. Sin proceeds from
ignorance and weakness. (160, 51 -
54)
Temptations and Seductions
65. Humanity cultivates many trees;
the hunger and misery of men leads
them to seek from them the shade and
fruit that offer salvation, justice or
peace. Those trees are the doctrines of
men, inspired many times in hatred,
selfishness, ambition, and in delusions
of grandeur. Their fruits are death,
blood, destruction, and the outrage of
that which is most sacred in the life of
men, which is the liberty to believe,
Chapter 40 - The Forces of Good and Evil
358
think, and speak, in a word, He is
deprived of the freedom of the spirit.
Such is the darkness that arises to
struggle against the light. (113, 52 -
53)
66. I have told you, beloved Israel,
that the time shall come when the
false spokesmen arise to give access
to the false Jesus, and within their
materialism they will deceive, saying
that through them the Master speaks.
False guides, false prophets, and false
soldiers shall arise and with their
word and their materialism seek to
turn you from the road of light and
truth. (346, 38)
67. Pray, and see that this is the time
in which My justice and My light
have removed all the darkness. This is
a difficult time full of dangers, for
even the beings that inhabit the
darkness shall pass themselves off
among you as beings of light to tempt
and confuse you. I give you My light,
so that you do not deviate from the
road and are not deceived by those
who use My name.
68. The tempters are not only from
among the invisible beings, there are
also those incarnated in men who
speak of lessons that seem like those
of the light, but which are in
contradiction to My Doctrine. To
these, do not listen. (132, 7 - 8)
69. My Kingdom is strong and
powerful, and if to confront My
strength and power I have permitted
the rise of another power, that of evil,
it is to demonstrate My own, so that
you may behold and feel the strength
of light and truth against the imposter
and the darkness. It is so that you can
see, that the realm of darkness,
disturbances, and trials, while having
great power, is [only] My instrument,
and I make use of it, truly.
70. If I test you, it is not to stop you
on the path of evolution, for I await
your arrival in My Kingdom;
however, I wish you to arrive
victorious after the combat, strong
after the struggle, full of the light of
spiritual experience after the long
journey, and full of the merits of the
spirit so that you may humbly raise
your face and behold the Father in the
instant when He comes to place upon
you his blessing kiss, a kiss that
contains all the happiness, and all the
perfections, for your spirit. (327, 8 -
9)
Moral Crimes
71. Humanity, humanity, crushing
against each other! I find you denying
your iniquity and boasting of what
you believe to be your greatness even
as you conceal your blemishes. I tell
you that the man who, flattered,
believes in his own apparent greatness
is poor in spirit. And of those who
lacking virtues, whisper of the defects
of others, judging their faults, I must
say are hypocrites who are very far
from justice and truth.
72. Not only those kill, who take the
life of the body, but also who destroy
the heart with deceit. Those who kill
the sentiments of the heart, faith, and
Chapter 40 - The Forces of Good and Evil
359
ideals, are assassins of the spirit, and
how many of these go freely without
prison or chains.
73. Do not be surprised that I speak
to you in this way, for I see among
you homes destroyed, because while
neglecting your duties there, you have
created new obligations outside them
without considering the pain and
abandonment of your own. Look
everywhere, how many homes have
been destroyed, how many women
given in to vice, and how many
children without a Father? How can
tenderness and love exist in those
hearts? Would you not judge, that He
who has caused the death of the
happiness of those beings, and has
destroyed that which is sacred, is a
criminal?
74. You have become so inured to
evil, that even those men who invent
new weapons of death you call great,
because in an instant they can destroy
millions of beings and yet, you call
them wise. What is your reasoning?
Greatness can only be of the spirit,
and only He is wise who travels the
path of truth. (235, 36 - 39)
The Impotence and Fleetingness of
Evil
75. Great, very great you observe
human perversity, and the power of
evil practiced by men seems terrible
to you. Nevertheless, I say to you that
those things are very weak when
compared to the power of My justice
and before My Divinity which is
master of all destiny, of life, death,
and of all creation. (54, 70)
76. Only a being omnipotent like
Myself could contend with Me;
however, do you believe that if a God
would emerge from Me, would He be
against Me? Or rather, do you believe
that He can emerge from nothing? Not
one thing can emerge from nothing.
77. I am All and I was never born. I
am the Beginning and the End, the
Alpha and the Omega of everything
created.
78. Can you conceive that some of
those beings created by Me could set
himself up as God? All creatures have
a limit and in order to be God it is
necessary not to have any limits. He
who has harbored those dreams of
power and greatness has fallen into
the darkness of his own arrogance.
(73, 34 - 35)
79. Truly I tell you, that there is no
power strong enough to oppose My
love. My enemies and rival forces are
small and weak, and the weapons that
have battled against truth and justice
have always been fragile.
80. The battle between the forces of
evil and Divine justice appears to be
an everlasting one, but, nevertheless,
in comparison to eternity the battle
will be like an instant; and the faults
committed by your spirit during its
time of imperfection, will eventually
become insignificant stains that will
be erased forever by your virtues and
My loving justice. (179, 12 - 13)
The Power of Forgiveness
81. Humanity, I ask you, taking
these people [present here] as your
Chapter 40 - The Forces of Good and Evil
360
representatives: "When will you rise
up to love one another and forgive
each other your offenses? When do
you want peace on your planet?
82. The forgiveness that comes from
love is taught only by My Doctrine,
and it contains a powerful force for
converting, regenerating, and
transforming the evil into good, and
the sinner into a person of virtue.
83. Learn to forgive, and you will
have the principle of peace in your
world. If you must forgive one
thousand times, then one thousand
times you must. Do you not realize
that an opportune reconciliation
avoids draining the dregs of the cup of
bitterness? (238, 12 - 14)
84. While you are men, remember
Me on the cross, forgiving, blessing,
and healing My executioners so that
you, on your difficult road, may also
bless those who have offended you
and do all possible good for those
who have done evil to you. Who acts
in this way, shall be My disciple, and
truly, I tell you, his pain will always
be brief, for I will make My strength
felt to him in the moments of his
trials. (263, 56)
85. Forgive one another, and in this
you shall find relief for yourselves
and for He who has offended you. Do
not carry upon your spirit the weight
of hatred or rancor; be cleansed, and
you will have found the secret of
peace and will live as apostles of My
truth. (243, 63)
My peace be with you !
361
Chapter 41 - Connections between this World and The Beyond
Inspiration and Aid from the
Spiritual World
1. Everyone travels along the ladder
of spiritual perfection; some have
attained the evolution that for the time
being you cannot conceive of, while
others are behind you.
2. The great spirits, who are great
because of their struggle, their love
and their effort, seek harmony with
their minor brethren, with those who
are distant and with the negligent;
their missions are noble and elevated,
their love toward My Divinity and
you is also great.
3. Those spirits know that they were
created for activity, for elevation; they
know that inactivity is not for the
children of God. Within Creation
everything is life, movement,
equilibrium, harmony; and thus, those
innumerable beings work, thrive and
rejoice in their struggle, with the
knowledge that in that way they
glorify their Father and help toward
the progress and perfection of their
brethren.
4. Today while you find yourselves
outside of the path that My Law
indicates, you ignore the influence
that those brethren exert over you, but
when you have the sensitivity to
perceive the emanations, inspirations
and messages which they convey, you
will have the presentiment of the
countless occupations and noble deeds
to which they dedicate their existence.
5. It is necessary for you to know
that those spirits, in their love and
respect for the laws of the Creator,
never take what is not theirs, neither
do they touch what is prohibited, nor
penetrate into places where they know
they should not, so as not to
disharmonize the elements of
Creation.
6. How different men on earth act,
who in their desire to be great and
powerful in the world and without
little respect for My teachings seek
with the key to science the destructive
elements, open the doors to unknown
forces, and in that manner disrupt the
harmony of Nature which surrounds
them!
7. When will man prepare himself to
listen to the wise counsel of the
Spiritual World, and in that manner be
guided by their inspirations?
8. Truly I say to you that it would be
enough to lead you along the safe
road toward the summit of the mount
which belongs to you; there you will
behold before you a straight and
shining path through which the spirits
have traveled who at present exist
only to make sure of your well - being
and to help you in your troubles,
drawing you nearer step by step to the
end of the road, where your Father
awaits all of you.
9. Since I have spoken to you about
the kindness and elevation of those
beings, I must tell you that they, like
you, had from the beginning the gift
of the freedom of will, that is to say, a
true and holy freedom of action which
Chapter 41 - Connections between this World and The Beyond
362
is proof of the love of the Creator
toward his children. (20, 28 - 36)
10. You do not travel alone, for My
encouragement and My light go with
each one of you; but if that seems
little, I have placed with each human
creature, a spiritual being of light to
watch over your steps, to make you
foresee certain dangers, and to serve
you as company in your solitude or as
a staff on your journey. They are the
beings you call guardian angels, or
protectors.
11. Never behave ungratefully to
them, nor be deaf to their inspirations,
for your strength alone will not be
sufficient to move ahead in all the
trials of life, you need those who go
ahead of you and who know - because
I reveal it to them - something of your
future.
12. The struggle of those beings is
very arduous until you achieve
spirituality, for you do very little to
help them on their delicate mission.
13. When your spirituality permits
you to feel and prove the presence of
your brothers and sisters who
invisibly, without any ostentation,
work for your welfare and your
progress, you will feel sorrow at
having made them work and suffer so
much due to your sins. Yet, when this
comprehension arises in you, it will
have done so because the light shines
in your understanding, and from it
will spring charity, gratitude, and
understanding.
19. The only distance that exists
between you and God, or between you
and a spiritual being, is not physical
distance, but the spiritual distance
originating from your lack of
preparation, lack of purity, or lack of
will to receive spiritual inspiration
and influence.
20. Never put that distance between
yourselves and your Master, or
between yourselves and the Spiritual
World, and you will always enjoy the
benefits My love pours out over those
who know how to seek it. You will
always have the feeling that the
Spiritual World vibrates together with
the hearts of those who prepare
themselves to feel it.
21. How great is the distance that the
humanity of this time puts between
themselves and the spiritual life, so
great, that it is for that reason that the
men of today feel God to be infinitely
distant from them, and imagine
heaven to be far away and
unreachable. (321, 76 - 78)
22. I say to you that there is not a
single human mind that is not
influenced by the Spiritual World.
23. There are many who might deny
this. However, no one is able to prove
that it is impossible for the human
mind to receive thoughts and
inspirations not only from spiritual
beings and fellow human beings, but
even from Me.
24. This is a revelation for all
humanity, a revelation that when it is
spread, shall find open hearts that
receive it with great joy, just as it
must also find human opponents and
persecutors.
Chapter 41 - Connections between this World and The Beyond
363
25. Yet, what can they do to prevent
the light of the Spiritual Kingdom
from shining in the lives of men?
What means can the unbelievers make
use of to prevent that vibration? Who
is He that believes himself outside of
the universal influence that is the
creating and lifegiving power of God?
26. I speak to your conscience, to
your spirit, and to your power of
reason; yet, I say again, that from
other dwellings all of you receive
messages, ideas, and inspirations; and
just as you fail to know where your
spirit came from to be made flesh in
that body you possess, neither do you
know those that communicate with it
invisibly and incensed. (282, 33 - 37)
Disturbed and Malicious Spirits
27. This Era is different from the
First and Second; today, you live in a
chaos of unchained elements, both
visible and invisible. Woe to He who
is not watchful, for He shall succumb,
even He who is prepared shall have to
struggle.
28. Thousands of invisible eyes are
watching you, some to ambush you on
the road, and others to protect you.
(138, 26 - 27)
29. The great legions of disturbed
spirits, taking advantage of the
ignorance of humanity, and their
insensibility and lack of spiritual
vision, make war on them, and men
have not prepared their weapons of
love for defense against the attacks, so
that in this struggle they appear to be
defenseless.
30. It is necessary that My Spiritual
Doctrine come to you, to teach you
how to prepare yourselves to emerge
victorious from the conflict.
31. From that invisible world that
palpitates and vibrates in your own
world, emerge influences that touch
men, whether in their minds, their
emotions, or their will, making them
into submissive servants, slaves,
instruments, and victims. Everywhere,
spiritual manifestations are surfacing,
and yet the world continues without
wishing to realize what it is that
surrounds their spirits.
32. It is necessary to take up the
battle and destroy the darkness, so
that when the light shines within men,
all shall arise united in true
communion, and with prayer, triumph
in the struggle that they begin against
the forces that have for so long
dominated them.
33. Men and peoples have
succumbed to the power of these
influences without humanity realizing
it. Strange and unknown illnesses,
produced by them, have battered
mankind and have confounded the
scientists.
34. How much discord, how much
confusion and pain mankind has
brought upon itself! The lack of
prayer, of morality, and spirituality
has attracted impure and disturbed
spirits. What can one hope for from
those who have departed without light
or preparation?
35. There are those you have
deceived and oppressed, whom you
have confused and humiliated; they
Chapter 41 - Connections between this World and The Beyond
364
can send you only confusion and
darkness, exercise only vengeance,
and come to you only to make claims
against you. (152, 22 - 28)
36. Among humanity legions of the
beings of darkness come, like the
clouds of a storm, causing upheavals,
befogging minds, and bewildering the
hearts of men. And although men
have weapons to defend themselves
from these assaults, some do not
know how to choose from among
them, while others do not even
imagine they have them. (240, 53)
37. The Humanity of today, as large
as you consider it to be in number, is
very small compared to the number of
spiritual beings that surround it. How
strongly those legions invade the
byways of men without them
perceiving it, for men neither feel nor
hear this world that agitates around
them. (339, 29)
38. A man given to a life of sin is
capable of dragging behind him a
legion of the beings of darkness, who
cause him to leave behind a trail of
malevolent influences. (87, 7)
39. If from here, you were able to
see the spiritual valley, wherein dwell
the materialistic spirits who have done
nothing to prepare for the spiritual
journey that follows this life, you
would be astonished; but not for an
instant would you say, "How terrible
is the justice of God!" Instead, you
would exclaim, "How ungrateful,
unjust, and cruel we ourselves are!
How indifferent we are to our spirits,
and how inactive we have been as
disciples of Jesus!"
40. That is why the Father has
permitted those beings to manifest
themselves at times in your lives, and
to give you the painful, anguished
message of their dark and peace -
deprived lives. They are the occupants
of a world that does not have the
radiant light of the spiritual dwellings,
nor the beauties of the earth they once
inhabited. (213, 52 - 53)
41. The legions of spirits that
aimlessly wander the world calling in
various ways at the doors of the hearts
of humanity, many times are voices
that want to tell you to wake up, that
you open your eyes to reality, to
repent of your errors and regenerate
yourself, so that later, when you leave
your material form in the bosom of
the earth, you do not have to weep, as
they do, in loneliness, ignorance, and
materialism. In this, there is light
emerging even from the darkness, for
not a leaf of a tree moves without My
Will; these manifestations, which
increase from day to day, shall
eventually so overwhelm men, that
they will finally overcome the
skepticism of humanity. (87, 65)
42. Pray for those who depart from
among you for the Beyond, for not all
find the road, not all know how to
elevate themselves, nor do all quickly
find peace.
Chapter 41 - Connections between this World and The Beyond
365
43. There are those who in spirit live
with the obsessions of material life.
Some suffer great repentance, others
are buried insensible in the earth
together with their bodies; others
cannot separate themselves from those
close to them, from those who remain
in the world, because lamentations,
selfishness, and human ignorance
hold them and materialize them,
depriving them of peace, light, and
advancement.
44. Let go of those who inhabit this
world but no longer belong to it; let
them abandon the goods they loved
and possessed in this life, so that they
can elevate their spirits to the infinite
where their real inheritance awaits.
(106. 35 - 37)
45. Your spirit shall be very pleased
to be received by them upon your
arrival in the spiritual valley, and to
receive their gratitude for the charity
you showed them; great shall be your
joy when you see them inundated by
light.
46. But how painful it will be to find
them with that legion of beings
darkened by confusion, knowing that
they too awaited your charity, and that
you did not give it to them. (287, 58)
47. If I treat you, humans, with such
love and charity, I tell you truly that I
search with the same tenderness for
those in the spiritual valley who are
atoning for their past faults. To those
beings I send My light to free them
from the bewilderment that is like
darkness, and from the remorse that is
like fire; to be sent later among men
so that those who yesterday sowed
pain in hearts, now sheathed in light,
become the benefactors and guardians
of their own brothers. (169, 6)
The Struggle of the Spirits for
Human Souls
48. Beyond your human lives exists
a world of the spirits, your brothers,
beings invisible to man, that fight
among themselves to conquer you.
49. That struggle between them
proceeds from the differences in
evolution between them: While the
beings of light, elevated by the ideal
of love, harmony, peace, and
perfection, go spreading light upon
the path of mankind, inspiring them
always to the good, and revealing all
that is for the good of men; the beings
that still retain the materialism of the
earth, who have not been able to quit
themselves of their selfishness and
their love for the world, or who, for an
indefinite time, pander to the human
inclinations and tendencies, are those
who sow confusion on the path of
humanity, clouding minds, blinding
hearts, and enslaving wills to take
advantage of men, converting them
into the instruments of their plans, or
taking them as though their bodies
were their own.
50. Meanwhile, the Spiritual World
of light struggles to conquer the spirit
of humanity in order to open for them
a breach to eternity. While those
blessed legions work unceasingly
multiplying themselves in love,
becoming nurses at the bedside of
Chapter 41 - Connections between this World and The Beyond
366
pain, counselors at the right of men
who bear great responsibilities,
counselors to youth, guardians of
children, and the companions of those
who live alone and forgotten, the
legions of the beings without the light
of spiritual wisdom and without the
elevation of love also work without
pause among humanity; but their
purpose is not to make the path to the
spiritual realm easier: no, the idea of
these beings is completely the
opposite; their intention is to
dominate the world, to continue as its
owners, to perpetuate themselves
upon the earth, to dominate men,
converting them into slaves and
instruments of their own will, in other
words: to not allow themselves to be
dispossessed of that which they have
always considered their own: the
world.
51. So, disciples: between some and
others there is an intense struggle, a
struggle that your corporeal eyes do
not behold, but whose reflections are
made felt every day in your world.
52. So that this humanity can defend
itself, and free itself from evil
influences, it must have knowledge of
the truth that surrounds it, it must
learn to pray with the spirit and know
as well with how many gifts its being
is endowed, so that it may employ
them as weapons in this great battle of
good versus evil, of light against
darkness, and of spirituality opposed
to materialism.
53. Precisely, the spiritual world of
light works and struggles, preparing
all, so that the world can one day put
itself on the path of spirituality.
54. Reflect on all this, and you can
imagine how intense is the struggle of
your spiritual brothers who work for
the salvation of men: a struggle that is
for them a cup from which at every
moment you give them the bitter gall
of ingratitude to drink, for you are
satisfied to receive from them all the
good they do you, but without ever
doing your part to help in their effort.
55. Few there are who know how to
join with them, few are those who
know how to be sensitive to their
inspirations and obedient to their
instructions, but how strongly those
few walk through life, how secure
they feel, and what enjoyments and
inspirations delight their spirit.
56. The majority are caught in an
inner debate between the two
influences without deciding on either
one, not giving in completely to
materialism, but without making
efforts to free themselves of it in order
to spiritualize their lives: that is to
say, to elevate themselves by means
of good, by means of wisdom, and by
spiritual strength.
57. Those who have completely
given in to materialism, no longer
worrying about the voice of their
consciences and ignoring all things
that refer to the spirit, no longer
struggle; they have been defeated in
the battle. They believe they have
triumphed, believe they are free, and
do not realize, that they have been
taken prisoner, and that it shall be
Chapter 41 - Connections between this World and The Beyond
367
necessary for the legions of the light
to enter the darkness to free them.
58. I send this message of light to all
the peoples of the earth, to be the
wake up call for men, so that they
may understand who is the eneMy
they must struggle against until
victory, and what are the weapons
that, unknowingly, they already bear.
(321, 53 - 63)
The Bond with the Spirits of God
59. Disciples: Wake up and
recognize the Era in which you find
yourselves. I say to you that just as no
one can hold back My justice, neither
will anyone close the doors of the
Hereafter that My charity has opened
for you. No one can prevent the
messages of light, hope and wisdom
to descend among men from those
worlds. (60, 82)
60. I have permitted you to briefly
communicate with your loved ones in
the Beyond, which I did not permit in
the Second Era, for neither you nor
they were then prepared for it. That
door has been opened by Me in this
time, and with it I give fulfillment to
the proclamations of My prophets and
to some of My own promises.
61. In 1866, that invisible door was
opened to you, as was also that of the
minds of the chosen, to manifest the
message that the spirits of light had to
bring to men.
62. Before that year, in the nations
and peoples of the earth, spiritual
beings had been manifesting
themselves as the foregoing signs of
My coming. (146, 15)
63. If the men of these times were
not so hard and insensitive, they
would certainly receive constant
messages from the spiritual world,
and would at times see themselves
surrounded by multitudes of beings
working incessantly for the
awakening of men. They would then
have proof that they are never alone.
64. Some call that world, "invisible"
others call it, "the Beyond." Why?
Because they simply do not have the
faith necessary to see the spiritual,
and because their human smallness
makes them feel distant and strange
from a world they should feel in their
hearts. (294, 32 - 33)
65. It surprises you that a spirit
manifests itself, or communicates
with you, without realizing that you
also manifest in and even
communicate with other worlds, other
dwelling places.
66. Your body does not realize that
your spirit, in moments of prayer,
communicates with Me, does not
know how to perceive the closeness
you have with your Lord that through
that gift, and not only with My Spirit,
but also with those spiritual brothers
who you remember in the moments of
prayer.
67. You also do not understand, that
in your rest, when your material body
sleeps, the spirit, in accordance with
its evolution and spirituality, separates
from the body to present itself in
Chapter 41 - Connections between this World and The Beyond
368
distant places, in spiritual dwellings
that you cannot even imagine.
68. Let no one be surprised by these
revelations; understand that you are
nearing the fullness of time. (148, 75 -
78)
69. I wish pure thought be the
language with which you
communicate with your brothers who
dwell in the spiritual; that it be in that
form, that you understand each other,
and that your merits and good works
be truly useful to them, as well as that
the influence of those of My children,
their inspiration and protection of you,
be a powerful assistance in your
journey to arrive united to Me.
70. Spiritualize yourselves, and you
will experience in your lives the
welcome presence of those beings:
The lullaby of the mother who left her
son on the earth, and the warmth and
counsel of the Father who also had to
depart. (245, 7 - 8)
71. This Work will be criticized and
rejected by many when they know
that contained in it are the
manifestations of spiritual beings.
Fear not, only the most ignorant will
struggle against that portion of My
teachings.
72. How many times did the
apostles, the prophets, and the Lord's
envoys speak to the world under the
influence of the spiritual world
without humanity realizing it? And
how many times in your own lives
have each of you acted and spoken
under the will of spiritual beings
without knowing it? And this, which
has always occurred, I have now
confirmed to you. (163, 24 - 25)
73. If curiosity alone leads you to
attempt communication with the
Beyond, you shall not find truth; if
your intension contains vanity, or the
desire for greatness, then you will not
achieve true communication; if
temptation sheaths your heart in false
purposes or low interests, neither then
shall you obtain communication with
the light of My Holy Spirit. Only your
respect, your clean prayer, your love,
your charity, and your spiritual
elevation, shall effect the prodigy of
your spirit spreading its wings,
crossing space, and coming to the
spiritual mansions, to the place My
Will allows it.
74. That is the grace and comfort
that the Holy Spirit reserves for you:
that you may behold one single place,
and be convinced that death and
distance do not exist, that not even
one of My creatures dies to eternal
life; for in this Third Era, you may
offer a spiritual embrace to those
beings that you have known and
loved, and lost in this world, but
whom you have not lost in eternity.
75. Many of you have
communicated with those beings
through My workers, yet, truly I tell
you that this is not the perfect
communication, but the time comes
when the incarnated spirits, and those
without flesh, may communicate
among them spirit to spirit, without
employing any other material or
Chapter 41 - Connections between this World and The Beyond
369
human means: by inspiration and
through the gift of spiritual sensibility,
and through revelation, or thought.
The eyes of your spirit will be able to
sense the presence of the Beyond, and
then your heart shall feel the passing
of the beings that populate the
spiritual valley. Then shall the
rejoicing of your spirit be great, as
will your knowledge and love of the
Father.
76. Then you shall know the life of
your spirit: who it is, and who it was,
recognizing yourself without
reference to such petty limits as those
that correspond to your material form,
for the Father says to you: Though
your material form is, in reality,
small, your spirit greatly resembles
My own Divine Spirit. (244, 21 - 24)
My peace be with you !
370
371
Chapter 42 - Guilt and Penitence, Trials and Suffering
The Need for Repentance and
Atonement
1. If many times I permit you to
drain the same cup that you gave to
your brethren, it is because there are
some who only in this way realize the
wrong they caused and by
experiencing the same ordeal which
they caused to others, they will
become aware of the pain they
provoked; this will give light to their
spirit and bring understanding,
repentance and, therefore, fulfillment
of My Law.
2. But if you wish to pass through
the pain without draining the cup of
bitterness, you may do so: by paying
your debt with repentance, good
works, and all that your conscience
tells you that you must do. In this way
you may pay a debt of love, and
return an honor, a life, or the peace,
health, and joy, or the bread that you
may have stolen from your brothers.
3. Observe how different is the
reality of My justice from that idea
that you have formed of your Father.
4. Do not forget that if I have come
to tell you that none of you will be
lost; it is also true that I have said that
every debt must be settled and every
fault erased from the Book of Life. It
is up to you to choose the path to Me.
Free will is still yours.
5. If you prefer the law of retaliation
of ancient times, as is still practiced
by men from their proud nations,
behold its results.
6. If you want the measure with
which you judge your brethren also
used against you, do not even wait for
your entry into the other existence to
receive My justice, for here when you
least expect it, you will find yourself
in the same difficulty in which you
placed your fellowmen.
7. But if you want a more elevated
Law to come to your aid, not only to
spare you from suffering, which is
what you fear most, but also to inspire
in you noble thoughts and good
sentiments, pray, call Me, and proceed
along your path to struggle to be
better each time, to be stronger in
your ordeals, or in short, to settle with
love the debt that you have with your
Father and with your fellowmen. (16,
53 - 59)
8. Someone usually asks Me:
Master, if you forgive our faults, why
do you allow us to cleanse them
through suffering? To this I answer: I
forgive you, but it is necessary for you
to correct those faults in order for you
to give back to your spirit its purity.
(64, 14)
9. I have told you that every last
stain shall be cleansed from the hearts
of men, yet, I tell you also, that it will
be each one of you who must cleanse
himself of his own stains. Remember
that I have told you: "With the
measure you use, you shall be
measured," and "Whatever a man
Chapter 42 - Guilt and Penitence, Trials and Suffering
372
sows, that shall He also reap." (150,
47)
10. Of the material offerings which
mankind offers Me, I only receive the
good intention, when it is truly good,
for an offering does not always
represent a noble and elevated
intention. There are many times when
men present me their offerings in
order to cover up their wickedness or
to demand something in return. That
is why I tell you that the gift of peace
for the spirit cannot be purchased and
its stains can not be cleansed with
material wealth, even if you could
offer me the greatest of material
treasures.
11. When men offer me true
repentance, sorrow for having
offended me, regeneration, correction
of their ways, restitution for faults
committed, all with the humility that I
have taught you, then indeed are men
presenting me the true offerings of the
heart, of the spirit, and of the mind,
which are infinitely more pleasing to
your Father than incense, flowers and
candles. (36, 27 - 28)
The Law of Atonement
12. You have had one opportunity
after another to understand My
infinite love for you. I have granted
you spiritual gifts and given you the
opportunity to correct your mistakes
and to purify and perfect your spirit
rather than condemning you eternally,
as you previously believed.
13. Who, of those who know these
teachings and have faith that they
contain truth, would dare deviate from
his mission in the world, knowing that
He is thereby preparing an even more
difficult restitution for his spirit.
14. For if it is true that My justice
offers you new opportunities to
cleanse your stains and repair
mistakes, it is also true that each
opportunity increases the number of
tests, and that the work and suffering
are more intense each time, just as are
the mistakes.
15. Your duty, so as not to speak of
punishment, shall be to repair, to
restore, and to repay even the last of
your debts. No one, not your Celestial
Father nor your brothers on earth and
in the spiritual valley will do what
you alone must do. Yet, I must tell
you that I will always come to your
call; that when you see yourselves as
alone or abandoned, you will feel My
presence; and that the spiritual world
will always come to help you with the
weight of your cross. (289, 45 - 47)
16. Only My love and justice may
now shelter those who hunger and
thirst for them. Only I know how to
receive into My perfect justice those
who make attempts against their own
existence.
17. If you knew that the loneliness of
the spirit is more terrible than
loneliness of this world, you would
await the last day of your existence
with patience and fortitude. (165, 73 -
74)
18. I do not destroy any of My
children no matter how they offend
Chapter 42 - Guilt and Penitence, Trials and Suffering
373
Me, I protect them and give them the
opportunity to correct their faults and
return to the road that they
abandoned. Yet, in spite of the fact
that I have absolved them, they shall
reap the fruits of their works, and it is
these works that shall judge them and
point out to them the straight road.
(96, 55)
The Reason for Trials and
Sufferings
19. Know yourselves. I have beheld
the existence of mankind of all the
eras, and I know what has been the
cause of all its sufferings and
misfortunes.
20. Since the first times I have seen
men taking their lives because of
greed,
materialism and lust for power; they
have always neglected their spirit,
believing themselves only flesh, and
when the time has come to leave their
human form on earth, only what they
did in their physical life remained,
without gathering any glory for the
spirit because they did not seek it;
they did not think about it, nor were
they concerned with the virtues of the
spirit or its knowledge. They were
satisfied in living without seeking the
pathway which leads them to God.
(11, 42 - 43)
21. Now, in spite of the
advancement of your civilization, you
have grown more and more distant
from Nature, as well as from the
spiritual, from what is pure, from
what pertains to God; that is why
during each stage of your existence
you have fallen into greater weakness,
into greater bitterness in spite of your
wishes to be stronger and happier
each passing day that you live on
earth; but you will take a step toward
the fulfillment of My Law, O
inhabitants of the world! (16, 35)
22. The ordeals which you encounter
along your path, have not happened
by chance, I have allowed them so
that you can earn merits. The leaf of a
tree does not move without My will,
and I am within the great works of
Creation as well as the lesser ones.
23. Be watchful and pray so that you
will understand what fruit you should
gather from each ordeal in order for
your purification to be shortened.
Carry your cross with love and I will
make it possible for you to endure
your restitution with patience. (25, 6)
24. If in the midst of laughter,
enjoyments and vanities, men forget
and even deny Me, why are they
fearful and tremble when they are
reaping the harvest of tears which
torment their spirit and body? Then
they blaspheme saying that God does
not exist.
25. Man is bold to sin, and
determined to deviate from the path of
My Law; but I assure you that He is
very much a coward when it concerns
making restitution and settling his
accounts. Nevertheless, I strengthen
you amidst your cowardice, I protect
you in your weakness, I awaken you
Chapter 42 - Guilt and Penitence, Trials and Suffering
374
from your lethargy, I dry your tears
and I give you new opportunities so
you may recuperate the lost light and
find the forgotten path of My Law
again.
26. I have come to bring you, as in
the Second Era, the bread and wine of
life, the same for the spirit as for the
body, so that you may live in harmony
with everything created by your
Father.
27. In My pathways the virtues are
blooming, on the other hand, yours
are covered with thorns, pitfalls and
bitterness.
28. He who says that the paths of the
Lord are filled with thorns, does not
know what He says, because I have
not created pain for any of My
children; but those who have
withdrawn from the path of light and
peace, once they return to it, must
suffer the consequences of their faults.
29. Why did you drink that cup of
bitterness? Why did you forget the
mandate of the Lord, as well as the
mission which I entrusted to you?
Because you substituted My Law for
yours, and there you have the results
of your vain knowledge: bitterness,
war, fanaticism, disappointment and
lies which suffocate you and fill you
with desperation. And the most
painful thing for the materialistic man,
for the one who submits everything to
his figuring and subjects it to the
material laws of this world, is that
after this existence He still will find
himself carrying the burden of his
errors and of his inclinations. Then
the suffering of your spirit will be
very great.
30. Rid yourselves here of your
burden of sins, comply with My Law
and come quickly. Ask forgiveness of
everyone whom you have offended
and leave the rest to Me, for the time
you have for loving will be brief if
you truly decide to do it. (17, 37 - 43)
31. Come to Me, all you who carry
hidden pain in your heart. Concealed,
you bear the pain that betrayal has
caused you, and your bitterness is
great because some much loved
person has deeply wounded you.
32. Come to meditate, so that prayer
may enlighten you, and so that you
may know if at some time you were
the cause of your own betrayal; then
prayer shall serve to strengthen you in
the idea that you must forgive those
who betrayed your love, your faith,
and your trust.
33. In truth I tell you, that in the very
instant that you award forgiveness to
those who have offended, in all its
fullness you will feel My peace, for in
that moment your spirit will have
united with Mine, and I shall extend
My mantle to forgive and cover one
and all with My love. (312, 49 - 51)
34. Truly, the Master tells you: I
have prepared a Kingdom of peace
and perfection for all spirits, yet, that
Kingdom that I have prepared is
opposed by another kingdom: the
world. If My realm is reached by
means of humility, love, and virtue; to
possess the other kingdom requires
Chapter 42 - Guilt and Penitence, Trials and Suffering
375
pride, ambition, arrogance, greed,
selfishness, and evil.
35. The world has opposed My
Kingdom in all times. Those who
follow Me have been harassed on the
road, and tempted, whether by visible
influences or by invisible powers in
every era.
36. This is not the only time you
have walked over thorns to reach Me,
not the first time your spirit has
stumbled forward to reach My
presence; in every epoch you have
fought the battle in the deepest
reaches of your being.
37. The inspiration of My Spirit,
illuminating your inner being has
declared battle with the darkness, with
the false lights, the false virtues, with
the material, with all that is
superfluous, and with all the false
greatness of this world. (327, 3)
38. The pain that for My sake you
have accepted, I bless and sanctify,
because all that you suffer for My
cause dignifies you eternally. (338,
61)
Faith, Conformity, and Humility
during the Trials
39. Human life is the crucible where
one is purified and the anvil upon
which one is formed. It is
indispensable for man to have an ideal
in his spirit, faith in his Creator, and
love for his destiny in order to carry
his cross to the top of his Calvary.
40. Without faith in eternal life, man
falls into desperation. Amidst the
trials, without elevated ideals, He
sinks into materialism, and without
strength to withstand a
disappointment, He gets lost in
despair or vice.
41. I tell you to love your cross, for
if you rebel upon being made to carry
it, the pain will open a deep wound in
your heart. I do love My cross, oh
people. And do you know the name of
My cross? You, oh humanity, whom I
love so much, are My cross. (144, 20)
42. Faith, acceptance, and humility
before that which I have disposed will
make the journey shorter, for you do
not walk the painful road more than
once; but the trial is prolonged, if
when faced with the trials, rebellion,
non - acceptance, and blaspheMy
arise. For you shall have to travel that
road again until the lesson is learned.
(139, 49)
43. I tell you that the trials prepared
by man for himself in this Era are
very great, for they are necessary for
his salvation.
44. Through what is most loved by
each man, eternal justice shall arrive
at an accounting for the works of
every human creature.
45. How important it is that
humanity come to an understanding of
what spiritual restitution means, so
that realizing that the spirit has a past
which only God knows, they accept
with love, patience, respect, and even
gladness, the cup of bitterness,
knowing that through it they are
cleansing past and present stains,
Chapter 42 - Guilt and Penitence, Trials and Suffering
376
paying debts, and gaining merits
before the Law.
46. There shall be no elevation
through pain that is not suffered with
love, respect for My justice, and
acceptance of what each one has
brought upon himself; yet, that
elevation in the midst of the trials can
only be given to men through their
understanding of the meaning of the
Law of spiritual restitution. (352, 36 -
37 and 42 - 43)
The Significance of Suffering and
Pain
47. If you believe that the trials of
life occur by chance, it will be
difficult for you to become strong.
However, if you understand the true
meaning of restitution, justice, and
atonement, then your faith will help
you to evolve spiritually, and
conformity to triumph over your
ordeals.
48. It pleases Me to test your spirit
in various ways because I am shaping,
modeling, and perfecting it; for that
purpose I use all and everything; I
take for My instrument equally the
just and the unjust, and I serve My
purpose with light, just as I convert
darkness to My service. For that
reason I tell you, that when you find
yourself in difficult times, think in
Me, in your Master, who with all love
will explain to you the reason for the
trial.
49. There are chalices from which
everyone must drink, some later,
some before, so that everyone comes
to understand and love me. Misery,
illness, slander, and dishonor are very
bitter chalices from which many must
drink, not only sinners. Remember
that in the Second Era, Jesus, the most
righteous of all human beings, drank
the most bitter chalice of which you
can conceive. The obedience, the
humility, and the love with which one
drinks the chalice of pain will lighten
the cross and shorten the trial. (54, 4 -
6)
50. Everything that surrounds you
tends to purify you, but not all have
understood it that way. Do not allow
the suffering that you endure in your
cup of grief to be sterile. From pain
you can extract light that is wisdom,
meekness, fortitude and sensitivity.
(81, 59)
51. Understand, disciples, that pain
separates the evil fruits from your
hearts, gives you experience, and
makes your errors turn into successes.
52. Thus your Father tests you, with
the aim that the light shine in your
understanding. However, when you
do not understand, and suffer
pointlessly because you do not
understand the meaning behind My
wise lessons, your pain is sterile, and
you do not make use of the lesson.
(258, 57 - 58)
53. Men exclaim: "If there exists a
God of mercy and love, then why
must the good suffer for the bad, the
righteous for the sinners?"
54. Truly I tell you, My children:
Each man does not come to this world
Chapter 42 - Guilt and Penitence, Trials and Suffering
377
only for his own salvation, He is not
an isolated individual, but forms part
of a whole.
55. In the human body, does not a
perfect and healthy organ suffer when
the other organs are diseased?
56. This is a material comparison so
that you may understand the
relationship that each man has to
others. The good must suffer for the
evil, but the good are not completely
innocent if they do not struggle for the
spiritual advancement of their
brothers. Nonetheless, as individuals,
each has his own responsibility; and
being part of My Spirit, and made in
Its image, He possesses the will and
intelligence necessary to assist the
progress of all. (358, 18 - 19)
57. Interpret My teaching justly, do
not think that My Spirit is pleased
seeing your suffering on earth or that I
have come to deprive you of all that is
gratifying to you to enjoy it Myself. I
come to make you recognize and
respect My laws, for they are worthy
of your respect and observance and
because obeying them will bring you
happiness and eternal peace.
58. I must tell you that as long as
you inhabit the earth you should make
an effort to make your existence here
as amenable as possible, it is not
necessary to weep, suffer, and bleed
infinitely to merit peace in the
beyond.
59. If you could transform this earth
from a vale of tears to a world of
happiness in which you loved one
another and where you concered
yourselves with practicing good and
living within My Law, I tell you truly:
that life would be yet more
meritorious before Me than an
existence full of suffering troubles
and tears, no matter how accepting
you were of the suffering. (219, 15 -
16)
60. Be thankful that no pain is
lasting; your suffering is temporary
and it will disappear very soon.
61. The time of atonement and
purification is brief for He who sees
his trials with spirituality, yet for
those enveloped in materialism that
which in truth passes quickly shall go
slowly.
62. As the palpitations of your heart
pass, in the same way does the life of
men pass into infinity.
63. There is no reason to fear, for in
the same way that one sighs, as one
sheds a tear or utters a word, so will
the suffering in man also disappear.
64. Within the infinite tenderness of
God, all your pains and sorrows will
have to vanish. (12, 5 - 9)
My peace be with you !
378
379
Chapter 43 - Illness, Healing, and Renovation
The Origin and Meaning of Illness
1. When man deviates from the path
of righteousness through lack of
prayer and good habits, He looses his
moral fortitude and his spirituality and
is exposed to temptation; in his
weakness He gives space to sin, and
that sickens the heart.
2. Nonetheless, I come like a doctor
to the sickbed and give him all My
love and care. My light is like crystal
- clear water upon the lips burned by
fever, and when He feels My balm
upon his forehead, He says to Me:
"Lord, only your charity can save Me;
I am gravely ill in spirit, and death
shall come to me quickly."
3. And I tell him: "You shall not die,
for I, who am life, have come, and all
that you have lost shall be restored."
(220, 39)
4. What merit can a sick person,
incapacitated for all struggle, earn?
His merits may be great and many if
He knows how to vest himself with
patience and acceptance, if He knows
how to be humble before the Divine
will, and knows how to praise Me in
the midst of his pain then his example
shall be light to many hearts that
inhabit the darkness and who have
given in to vice, or who think of death
when some trial surprises them.
5. Those beings, upon finding in
their paths an example of faith,
humility, and hope arising from a
heart that also suffers much because it
bears a very heavy cross, shall feel
that their hearts have been touched by
a ray of light.
6. And so it is, in fact, since they
have not managed to hear the voice of
their own consciences, it was needful
that they receive the light of the
conscience that another brother sends
them with his example and his faith.
7. Do not consider yourselves to be
beaten, do not call yourselves failures,
do not bend under the weight of your
sufferings, keep the lamp of your faith
always illuminated before you; that
faith and your love shall be your
salvation. (132, 38 - 39)
Healing through your own Strength
8. You ask that I heal you, and truly
I say there is no one better than you
yourselves to be your own doctor.
9. What good would it do if I heal
you and remove your suffering, if you
do not withdraw from your errors,
sins, vices and imperfections? It is not
pain that is the origin of your ills, but
your sins. Behold there the origin of
suffering! Fight against sin, withdraw
it from you, and you will be healthy,
but that is for you to do, I only teach
and help you.
10. When through your conscience
you discover the origin of your
afflictions and establish the means to
combat it, you will feel the Divine
strength in abundance, helping you to
triumph in the battle and win your
spiritual freedom.
11. How great will be your
satisfaction in feeling that through
Chapter 43 - Illness, Healing, and Renovation
380
your own merits you were able to
liberate yourselves from pain and also
win peace. Then you will say: O My
Lord, your word was My balsam, your
Doctrine has been My salvation! (8,
54 - 57)
12. My people, the true healing
balsam that is able to heal all illnesses
originates from love.
13. Love with your spirit, love with
your heart, and love with your mind,
and you shall have strength enough to
heal not only the illnesses of the body
or to give consolation for small
human miseries, but will also know
how to resolve the spiritual Mysteries
and the great anguish, confusion, and
remorse of the spirit.
14. That balsam resolves the great
trials, illuminates, calms sorrows, and
melts away the chains of oppression.
15. Men who have been brought to
despair by science shall return to
health and life with the touch of that
balsam; the spirit that has parted shall
return at the word of love of the
brother who calls. (296, 60 - 63)
16. Abolish pain. The life I created is
not painful; the suffering comes from
the disobedience and faults of the
children of God. Pain is a
characteristic of the life that dissolute
men have created.
17. Elevate your gaze and discover
the beauty of My works; prepare
yourselves to hear the Divine concert.
Do not exclude yourself from the
feast. How will you participate in that
delight if you isolate yourself? You
will live sad, tormented, and sick.
18. I wish you to be harmonious
notes in the universal concert. I wish
you to understand that you sprang
from the source of life, and that you
feel My light is in all consciences.
When will you come to the maturity
necessary to say: "Father, subordinate
My spirit, as well as My will and My
life, to Yours?"
19. Do you understand that this you
cannot see while your senses are sick
and your spirit selfishly isolated from
the path.
20. You live under the torment of
illnesses, or of the fear of contracting
them, and yet, what is a physical
illness compared to an error of the
spirit? Nothing, if the spirit knows
how to raise itself up; for in My
charity you shall always find help.
21. Just as the blood runs through
your veins and gives life to the body,
so too the strength of God, like a
torrent of life, passes through your
spirit. There is no reason to be ill if
you comply with the law. Life is
health, joy, happiness, and harmony,
and being ill you cannot be a
storehouse of the Divine goods.
22. Whether unhealthy in mind,
heart, or body, the Master tells you to
ask your spirit, which is a child of the
Almighty, to return to the path, to heal
your ills and help you in your
weakness. (134, 57 - 59)
The Renovation of Human Beings
23. Vanity, a weakness which has
been manifested since the first man,
Chapter 43 - Illness, Healing, and Renovation
381
will be combated through spirituality.
It is the struggle that has always
existed between the spiritual and the
material, for while the spirit tends
toward the eternal and elevated in
search of the essence of the Father,
the material looks only for what
satisfies and flatters it, even when this
is to the disadvantage of the spirit.
24. That struggle, which is present in
every human being, is a force that
originates inside men themselves due
to the influence that they receive from
the world, for that which is material
seeks all that which relates to its own
nature.
25. If the spirit manages to tame and
channel that force, it will have
harmonized its two natures within its
own being, and shall reach its
progress and elevation. If on the other
hand, it allows itself to be dominated
by the strength of the material form, it
shall be induced to evil: a ship
without a rudder in the midst of a
storm. (230, 64)
26. You, unbelieving and skeptical,
cannot believe in a world of justice,
nor can you manage to conceive of a
life of love and virtue on your earth.
In a word: You do not believe
yourselves capable of anything good,
nor do you have faith in yourselves.
27. I do believe in you. I know the
foundation that there is in each of My
children, because I formed it, and I
gave it life by My love.
28. I do have hope for men. I do
believe in their salvation, in their
becoming worthy, and in their
elevation; for when I created them I
destined them to reign on earth,
making of it a dwelling of love and
peace; as well as that their spirits be
forged in the struggle to come, by
merit, to dwell in the light of the
Kingdom of Perfection, which
belongs to them by eternal
inheritance. (326, 44 - 46)
My peace be with you !

Chapter 44 - Life in the Divine Sense
The Necessary Equilibrium
1. The destiny of each person, with
his or her spiritual mission and human
mission, is drawn. Both must
harmonize and tend toward a single
end. In truth I tell you that I shall take
into account your spiritual works, but
also your material ones, for in them I
shall find merit to help your spirit
arrive to Me. (171, 23)
2. Up until now, it has been the pride
of man that has prevented him from
knowing the spiritual, and that lack of
knowledge has prevented his
perfection.
3. As long as man does not learn to
keep his material and spiritual powers
in harmony, He shall not encounter
the balance that should exist in his
life. (291, 26 - 27)
4. Disciples: Even though you live
on earth, you can live a spiritual life.
You do not need to separate yourself
from material things in order to lead a
spiritual life, but live in harmony of
the laws of man with the Divine
Laws.
5. Blessed is the one who studies My
laws and knows how to unite them
with the laws of man, because He will
be healthy, strong, elevated, and
happy. (290, 26 - 27)
Healthy and Unhealthy Pleasures
6. I do not tell you to depart from
your material obligations or from the
healthy pleasures of your hearts and
senses. I only ask you to renounce that
which poisons your spirits and makes
your bodies ill.
7. Whoever lives within the law is
obeying the dictates of his conscience.
Whoever flees from permissible
pleasures in order to immerse himself
in forbidden ones, asks himself, even
during instances of greatest pleasure,
why He is not happy or why He does
not find peace. From gratification to
gratification, He slowly descends until
He is lost in the abyss without finding
true satisfaction for his heart and his
spirit.
8. There are those who must
succumb draining even the last drop
of the cup from which they vainly
sought pleasure, so that they may then
hear the voice of He who is eternally
calling them to the feast of eternal
life. (33, 44 - 46)
9. The scientist cuts the fruit from
the tree of science with disrespect, not
listening beforehand to the voice of
his conscience through which My law
speaks to him to tell him that all the
fruits of the tree of wisdom are good,
and therefore, whoever takes them
should do so only when inspired to
benefit his fellow men.
10. These two examples I have
explained to you teach you why
humanity does not know love nor the
peace of that internal paradise that
man, through his obedience to the
law, should carry always in his heart.
Chapter 44 - Life in the Divine Sense
384
11. I have come to teach the sinners,
the disobedient, the ungrateful, and
the arrogant to help you to find, to
have you understand that you are
gifted with a spirit, that you have a
conscience, that you can reason and
perfectly evaluate that which is good
and that which is bad, and to show
you the path which will lead you to
the paradise of peace, wisdom,
infinite love, immortality, glory, and
eternity. (34, 15 - 17)
12. Men do not always interpret My
teachings well. I have never taught
you to ignore or refrain from tasting
the healthy fruit that My laws order
and concede. I have only come to
teach you not to pursue, and much
less to love, that which is useless, or
superfluous; that you not take the
fruit, that which is unhealthy or
unlawful, favorable to the spirit or the
material form. Yet, all that is lawful
and beneficial to the spirit or the heart
I have entrusted to you, because it is
within My laws. (332, 4)
13. Much time has had to expire for
humanity to reach spiritual maturity.
You have always fallen into two
extremes: one has been materialism,
by which you attempt to reach ever
greater worldly pleasures; and that is
truly prejudicial, because it deviates
the spirit from its mission. However,
you must also avoid the other
extreme: the mortification of the flesh
and the complete denial of all that
pertains to this life, because I ordered
you to this earth to live as men, as
human beings, and I have shown you
the straight path to follow so that you
may live rendering unto Caesar that
which belongs to Caesar, and to God
that which is God's.
14. I created this world, with all its
beauty and perfection for you, and I
have given you the human body
through which you must develop the
gifts I have given you for reaching
perfection.
15. The Father does not wish you to
be deprived of all the good things that
this world offers you, but you must
not give preference to the material
over the spiritual, for the body is
passing, but the spirit belongs to
eternity. (358, 7 - 9)
Blessed and Cursed Wealth
16. When it is My will to make you
the possessors of earthly goods I give
them to you so that you may share
them with your needy brothers: with
those who have no wealth or support,
with the weak and the sick. Many of
those who possess nothing on earth
may in exchange share with you their
spiritual wealth. (96, 27)
17. I wish all to be yours, but that
you know how to take conscientiously
of what you need; that you know how
to be rich spiritually, and if you know
how to make good use of it and give
to each and all their true place and
value, be able to possess much in the
material world.
18. What harm can it do to the spirit
of a man to be immensely rich, if
what He possesses is of benefit to his
Chapter 44 - Life in the Divine Sense
385
fellow men? And what harm can it do
to a man to be powerful, if his spirit
knows to take time out at opportune
moments to pray, and if in its prayer it
is in communion with Me? (294, 38)
19. Do not say to Me: "Lord, I see
poverty among those who follow You,
but among those who do not even
remember You, and do not even
pronounce your name, I see
abundance, pleasures, and
satisfactions.
20. My people will not take these
cases as proof that He who follows
Me need be poor in the world. Yet, I
tell you, that those who you so envy
do not know and cannot buy with all
their wealth the peace of those who
hear, and who consecrate part of their
lives to bestowing charity.
21. There are those who know how
to possess at the same time the goods
of the world and of the spirit, others to
whom the things of the world are not
given because they have forgotten the
spiritual, and yet others who are
interested only in the things of this
world because they believe that the
Divine laws are an eneMy to earthly
treasures.
22. Goods are always goods, yet not
all know how to use them; you must
know also, that not all of that which
many possess was given to them by
Me; there are those who have been
compensated by Me, just as there are
others who have gotten all they have
by stealing.
23. The greatest evidence you may
have of your obedience in life is your
spiritual peace, not the quantity of
your money. (197, 24 - 27)
24. When I tell you: "Ask, and ye
shall be given." You ask me for
material goods. Truly, you ask too
little of Me. Ask Me, above all, for
that which benefits your spirit! Do not
make hoards on earth, for here what
you find is stolen; store up your
treasures in the Kingdom of the
Father, for there your riches shall be
safe and shall serve for the happiness
and peace of your spirit.
25. The treasures of earth are the
false greatness of riches, power, and
titles. The treasures of the spirit are
good works. (181, 68 - 69)
26. The vain believe they are great
without being so, and they are indeed
small who contents themselves with
the superfluous riches of this life
without discovering the true values of
the heart and spirit. How small are
their wishes, their loves, and their
ideals! With how little they are
satisfied!
27. But He who has learned to live,
is He who has learned to give to God
what is God's, and to the world what
is the world's. He who knows how to
rejoice in the bosom of Nature,
without becoming a slave of the
material; He knows how to live, and
though apparently possessing nothing,
is the owner of the goods of this life
and on the road to possession of the
riches of the kingdom. (217, 19 - 20)
Chapter 44 - Life in the Divine Sense
386
The Law of Giving
28. If this humanity had faith in My
word, they would bear Me in their
hearts, and would have always in
mind that which I said to the listening
multitude: "Truly I tell you,
whosoever gives away even a cup of
water, shall no wise lose his reward."
29. Yet, men believe that if they give
something away they receive nothing
in return, and so to protect what they
have, they guard it for themselves
alone.
30. Now I tell you, that in My justice
there is perfect understanding, so that
you never fear to give away what you
possess. Do you see those men who
accumulate and treasure things, and
share their possessions with no one?
Those men bear a spirit that is dead.
31. In contrast, they who have
consecrated even the last breath of
their existence to giving their fellow
men what they possess, even to the
point where they may be seen alone,
abandoned, and poor in their final
hour: These have been guided always
by the light of faith which has shown
them in the distance the nearness of
the "Promised Land", where My love
waits to give them compensation for
all their works. (128, 46 - 49)
32. Come, so that I may restore true
life to you and remind you that you
have been created to give; but that
while you do not know what it is you
bear within you, it will be impossible
to give it to those who have need.
33. See how all those that surround
you fulfill their mission of giving; the
elements, the heavenly bodies, the
beings, the plants, flowers, and birds,
all of them, from the greatest to the
imperceptible, have the gift and
destiny of giving. Why do you make
of yourselves an exception when you
are the most amply gifted with the
Divine grace of loving?
34. Oh, how much you must grow in
wisdom, love, virtue, and power so
that you may be a light on the path of
your smaller brothers! What a
beautiful and elevated destiny your
Father has provided for you!
Compliance with Debts and
Obligations
35. In the Third Era, My spiritual
Doctrine shall give the spirit the
freedom to spread its wings and
ascend to the Father to offer him true
worship.
36. Yet, men too, as human beings,
have worship to offer the Creator, and
that tribute consists of fulfilling their
duties here on earth, obeying human
laws, using good and moral judgment
in their acts, and complying with their
duties as parent, child, sibling, friend,
master, and servant.
37. He who lives in this way shall
have honored Me on earth, and there
shall be an opportunity for his spirit to
ascend to glorify Me. (229, 59 - 61)
38. He who shirks the weight of his
mission, He who turns from or
ignores the responsibilities his spirit
contracted with Me, in order to act
according to his whims and will, shall
be unable to feel true peace in his
Chapter 44 - Life in the Divine Sense
387
heart, for his spirit will never be
satisfied or calm. They are those who
are always seeking pleasures in which
to forget their sorrows and anxieties,
deceiving themselves with false joys
and fleeting satisfactions.
39. I let them travel their path, for I
know that although today they depart,
forgetting and even denying Me,
soon, when reality wakens them from
their dream of greatness on earth, they
shall understand the insignificance of
the riches, the titles, the pleasures, and
the honors of the world when they
must confront the spiritual truth faced
with eternity and the Divine justice
that none escape.
40. No one is unaware of this, since
each of you has a spirit that reveals to
you, through the gift of intuition, the
reality of your lives or of the road that
is drawn out for you, or what it is that
you must do there, yet you insist in
freeing yourselves of any spiritual
commitments so that you may feel
free and like the owners of your own
lives. (318, 13 - 15)
41. Before your spirit was sent to
this planet, the lands were shown to it,
it was told that it would come to sow
peace, that its message would be
spiritual, and your spirit rejoiced,
promising to be faithful and obedient
to its mission.
42. Why then do you fear to sow?
Why do you now feel unworthy or
unable of carrying out the labor that
so overjoyed your spirit when it was
entrusted to it? It is because you have
allowed the passions to place
themselves in your path, blocking the
passage of the spirit, and trying to
justify its indecision with childish
arguments.
43. You should not return to the
valley from which you came with
your hands empty. I know that your
bitterness would be very great. (269,
32 - 34)
44. To each one has been assigned a
portion which He must guide or
cultivate, and that mission is not
ended by physical death. The spirit, in
the spiritual world as in the material,
continues to sow, cultivate, and
harvest.
45. The greater spirits are those
which guide the lesser, and these in
their turn guide others that are still
less developed, for the Lord leads all
of them to safe pastures.
46. If I told you, that the greater
spirits are those that guide the lesser;
by that I do not say that those spirits
have been great since the beginning
and that the latter will always be
smaller than their brothers. Those
which are now great have become so
by elevating and developing
themselves in the fulfillment of the
noble mission of loving, serving, and
helping those who have not achieved
the same grade of spiritual elevation:
those that are still weak, and those
that have become lost, or which
suffer.
47. Those that today are small, will
tomorrow be great through
perseverance on the path of evolution.
(131, 19 - 21)

My peace be with you !

Chapter 45 - Predestination, Sense and Compliance in Life
Providence and the Determination
of God in Human Destiny
1. It is the Era of the light, in which
man, besides believing, shall come to
understand, reason out, and feel My
truth.
2. The purpose of My Doctrine is to
make all accept that no one has come
to this world without a justifiable
reason, that the reason is the Divine
love, and that the destiny of all beings
is to fulfill a mission of love.
3. From the beginning, and in all
times, men have asked: Who am I? To
whom do I owe My life? Why do I
exist? What did I come for and where
am I going?
4. Part of [the answers to] their
doubts and lack of knowledge they
have found in My explanations and
through reflection about what I have
revealed to you from time to time.
5. But there are those who believe
they know it all, and I tell you that
they are gravely mistaken, for it is not
possible for men to discover that
which is contained in the Arcane of
God, unless it is revealed to them, and
there is much in that arcane that you
do not yet know, for its contents are
infinite. (261, 4 - 6)
6. Destiny has the compassion which
God has put in it; the destiny of men
is filled with the Divine goodness.
7. Many times you cannot find that
goodness, for you do not know how to
seek it.
8. If within the destiny marked by
Me for each spirit, you devise a
difficult and bitter course, I try to
soften it, but never to increase its
bitterness.
9. In the world men need one
another; no one is extra and no one is
missing. All lives are necessary one to
each other, for the complement and
harmony of their existence.
10. The poor need from the rich and
the rich from the poor. The sinful
need from the righteous and these
from the former. The ignorant need
from the wise and those who have
knowledge, from the ignorant. The
little ones need from the adults and
these in turn need from the children.
11. In this world, each one of you is
situated by the wisdom of God in his
place and near whom He should be.
To each man is assigned the circle
where He should dwell, in which
there are incarnated and discarnated
spirits with whom He must coexist.
12. Thus, each in his way, all of you
are encountering those who will teach
you the love which will elevate you,
at other times you will receive sorrow
which will purify you. Some will
cause you to suffer because you need
it to be so, while others give you their
love to compensate for your
bitterness, but all have a message for
you, a teaching which you should
understand and profit from.
13. Do not forget that every
incarnated or discarnated spirit who
Chapter 45 - Predestination, Sense and Compliance in Life
390
crosses your path in some way, comes
to help you in your destiny.
14. How many spirits of light I have
sent to the world and you have not
even stopped to bless My love for
you!
15. Many brothers that I have sent to
you, you have not taken advantage of,
unaware that they formed part of your
destiny, but since you were unable to
receive them, you were left with
empty hands, and later you had to
weep!
16. O humanity, your destiny is to
harmonize with everything created.
This harmony of which I speak is the
greatest of all the laws, for in it you
will find the perfect communion with
God and His Works. (11, 10 - 16 and
22 - 25)
17. Whoever denies his destiny is
rejecting the title of Child of My
Divinity; if He does not believe in My
existence, He can not have faith in My
love.
18. If for some this life has been
excessively bitter and painful, know
that this existence is not the only one,
that it is long only in appearance, and
that in the destiny of each creature
there is an arcane that only I can
penetrate. (54, 8 - 9)
19. The existence of a man on earth
is only an instant in eternity, a breath
of life which animates the human
being for a time and later it separates
in order to return and animate a new
body. (12, 4)
20. It has been destined what will be
granted to each and everyone
throughout his journey. While some
are receiving and taking advantage at
the proper time, others squander what
they have received and there are some
who have not even been able to
prepare themselves to receive it and
when they have returned to the
Spiritual Mansion, they found out all
that was theirs but were unable to
receive nor be worthy of it. (57, 31)
21. None have been born by chance,
no one has been created by accident;
understand Me, and recognize that no
one is free on the road of life, there is
a law that rules and directs all
destinies. (110, 29)
22. Man believes to be doing his
will; He believes to be free from all
influence superior to him and He even
believes himself to be absolute and
forger of his own destiny without
perceiving that the moment shall
come when everyone will realize that
it was My will that was done in them.
(79, 40)
23. Work for a good reward for
yourself cultivating a good fruit for
your brethren. Prepare yourselves for
the future times because before My
departure there will still be a division
amongst you, because temptation will
touch everyone. It is necessary for
you to be watchful. Pray and practice
My Divine teaching; truly I say to you
that these short moments that you
dedicate to the practice of
Chapter 45 - Predestination, Sense and Compliance in Life
391
righteousness, will allow its benefits
to be felt even in many of the
generations after yours. No one has
been able nor will ever lay out his
own destiny, that is only for Me to
decide. Have confidence in My will
and you will cover the journey to the
end without greater obstacles.
24. Judge well when I say to you
that the leaf of a tree does not move
without My will, thus you will know
when I am the One who is testing you
and when you yourselves fill your cup
of bitterness in order to blame Me
later. Then you become judges and
regard Me as a culprit.
25. Know how to recognize your
errors and correct them. Learn to
forgive the defects of your brethren
and if you are unable to correct them,
at least extend a veil of indulgence
upon them. (63, 43 - 44)
26. Do not be fatalists, claiming the
belief that your destiny is only that
which God put in your way, so that if
you suffer it is because it is written,
and if you have joys, that too, is
because it is written. I have proven to
you that what you sow is what you
must reap.
27. But listen carefully, for there will
be times when you will gather the
harvest immediately, and on other
occasions you will have to wait to
gather the harvest during a future
lifetime. Analyze what I have said and
you will eliminate much of the
confusion and misinterpretations
about My justice. (195, 53)
In the School of Life
28. Men are like children who do not
think of the consequences of their
actions, and that is why they do not
understand that a stumbling block
they find on the road, is only an
obstacle left by the Master to restrain
their senseless racing, or to prevent
them from making a bad decision.
29. I wish you to act like adults now,
that you think about your works, your
acts, and your words. That is the way
to apply prudence and justice to your
lives. You should remember, as well,
that life is an immense and constant
trial for the spirit.
30. On My road none succumb, and
although there are times when men
are doubled over by the weight of the
cross, a higher force raises them up
and encourages them; that force
comes from faith. (165, 55 - 57)
31. The happiness of men, which
some believe does not exist on earth,
and which others have come to
believe I hoard, but which in reality is
manifested in the peace of your spirit,
depends on the comprehension by
men of these teachings, and their
obedience to the laws which govern
the universe
32. Now you know, oh people, that
your happiness is in you yourselves,
so that you may show men that in the
depths of their being, where they
believe they bear only bitterness,
hatred, rancor, remorse, and tears,
there is a light that none can put out,
and it is that of the spirit. (178, 6 - 7)
Chapter 45 - Predestination, Sense and Compliance in Life
392
33. Your spiritual past is unknown to
your material form. I have left it
imprinted in your spirit so that it may
be like an open book revealed to you
by the conscience and intuition. That
is My justice, that rather than
sentencing you gives you the
opportunity to repair your fault or
rectify your error.
34. If the past were erased from your
spirit, you would have to pass again
through the same trials, yet, if you
hear the voice of your experience, and
allow yourself to be illuminated by
that light, you will see your road as
clean, and the horizon more brilliant.
(84, 46)
The Meaning and Value of Human
Life
35. Be aware that the natural state of
the human being, is that of kindness,
peace of the spirit and harmony with
all that surrounds him. He who
maintains himself in the practice of
these virtues throughout his lifetime,
is following the true path that will
lead him toward an understanding of
God.
36. But if you deviate from that path
forgetting the Law that should guide
your actions, you will have to repent
with tears the moments that you lived
separated from the path of spiritual
elevation, which is the natural state in
which man should always keep
himself. (20, 20)
37. Many men are so accustomed to
the world of sin and pain in which you
live, that they think that kind of life is
the most natural, that the earth is
destined to be a vale of tears, and that
it can never be the home of peace,
harmony, and spiritual progress.
38. Those who think like that are
sleeping the slumber of ignorance. He
who believes that the world was
meant by Me to be a vale of tears and
atonement is mistaken. The Eden that
I offered men can and must return, for
all that I have created is life and love.
39. Therefore, those who say the
world was destined by God as a
torment for men are mistaken. Rather
they should say that it was they
themselves who condemned it to a
mission of justice, though it had been
formed for the delight and enjoyment
of the spirits made men.
40. No one was destined for sin,
though all was prepared to save men
from their falls.
41. Men did not wish to elevate
themselves by love, nor to make
themselves wise complying with My
Law. They forgot, as well, that My
justice, from which they have always
tried to flee, is what shelters them, for
My justice proceeds from perfect
love. (169, 10 - 13)
42. If you analyze My word, you
will understand that the intention of
the Father upon sending you to the
world to walk its roads full of ambush
and danger, was not to have you get
lost in it; for you had been previously
prepared so that on these roads you
would find the lessons necessary for
the evolution of your spirit, to give
you the experience you lacked, and
Chapter 45 - Predestination, Sense and Compliance in Life
393
finally, to return you to Me full of
light.
43. Your spirit, upon being born of
Me, was like a spark for the winds to
blow into flames, so that upon
returning to Me, you would join your
light to that of the Divinity.
44. I speak to you from the peak of
the New Mount, and there I await
you, and truly I tell you: the day of
your coming shall be a day of
celebration in this Kingdom.
45. You come cleansing your faults
on the road of pain; a road that I did
not mark out, that was made by men.
You made Me walk that road; yet the
road of sacrifice and pain has been
glorified since that day by My blood.
(180, 64 - 65)
46. Man will come to understand
that neither is his reign of this world,
that his body, the human shell, is a
mere instrument through whose
senses his spirit manifests in this
world of trials and restitution. In the
end, He will know that this life is only
a magnificent lesson illustrated by
marvelous forms and images so that
the disciples, all humanity, can better
understand the lessons that life gives
them and with which, if they know
how to value them, they will achieve
the evolution of the spirit. They will
understand the purpose of the struggle
that forges them, the pain that
polishes them, the labor that ennobles,
the knowledge that enlightens, and the
love that elevates.
47. If this existence were the only
one, truly I tell you, I would long ago
have taken the pain from it, for it
would be unjust if you had come to
this world only to drink from the cup
of bitterness; yet, those who today
weep and suffer do so because in the
past they luxuriated in excess: but this
pain purifies them and makes them
worthy of ascending to joy of the
purest form in the dwelling places of
the Lord. (194, 34 - 35)
48. The test contained in the life of
man is so hard that it is necessary to
sweeten it with those spiritual and
material pleasures that make it more
pleasant and the weight of the cross
more bearable.
49. I bless all of those who know to
find in the warmth of the home the
greatest joys of their existence,
seeking, in the affection of parents for
their children, of children for their
parents, and of brothers and sisters, to
create a form of worship; for that
unity, that harmony, and that peace,
are similar to the harmony that exists
between the Universal Father and his
spiritual family.
50. In those homes the light of the
spirit shines and the peace of My
Kingdom dwells, and when the
sorrows do appear, they are lighter,
and the trials less bitter.
51. Even more worthy are those who
seek their satisfaction in that of
others, and who take joy from the
healthy happiness of their fellow men.
These are the apostles of joy, and they
fulfill a great mission.
52. In truth I tell you, if you knew
how to look for moments of
Chapter 45 - Predestination, Sense and Compliance in Life
394
satisfaction and joy and hours of
peace, you would have them all the
days of your existence; but to have
those things, elevate first your spirit,
your sentiments, and your way of
thinking about life.
53. This message that I send you
through My word comes full of light
to illuminate your path, and will give
your being the elevation that I have
shown you so that you live in peace
and take healthy pleasure from all that
I have blessed for your existence.
54. This humanity must struggle
much to combat the shadows of pain,
and overcome its inclination for false
pleasures and fraudulent satisfactions.
It shall have to struggle against the
religious fanaticism that prevents it
from knowing the truth, it will have to
struggle against the fanaticism that
makes it think that all marches toward
a final destruction from which none
can be saved; and it must struggle
against the materialism that makes it
seek only fleeting pleasures, the joys
of the senses that tumble the spirit
into an abyss of vice, pain,
desperation, and darkness.
55. I give you My light, so that you
may emerge from the shadows, and
come to find on this planet that you
have made a vale of tears, the true
joys of spirit and heart, beside which
all others are small and insignificant.
(303, 28 - 33)
My peace be with you !

X. Materialism and Spiritualism
Chapter 46 – The badly Guided and Materialist Man
Lethargy of the Spirit, Ignorance
and Arrogance of Men
1. The purpose for the creation of the
world is man; for his pleasure I have
placed there all the other beings and
elements so that He may make use of
them for his preservation and
enjoyment.
2. Yet, if He had loved and
recognized Me from the first times,
from his spiritual infancy, today He
would form part of a world of great
spirits where ignorance would not
exist, nor would there be distinctions:
a world in which all of you would be
equal in knowledge and in the
elevation of your sentiments.
3. But, oh, how slowly man evolves!
How many centuries has He lived on
earth without yet reaching an
understanding of his spiritual mission
and his true destiny? He has been
unable to discover within himself the
spirit that never dies because it has
eternal life; He has not known how to
live in harmony with it, nor has He
recognized its rights, and the spirit,
deprived of its rights, has not
developed its gifts and is stagnated.
(15, 24)
4. Man, upon distancing himself
from the fulfillment of My law, has
created ideas, theories, religions, and
diverse doctrines that divide and
confuse humanity, tying its spirits to
materialism and impeding it from
ascending freely. However, the light
of My Holy Spirit illuminates all men,
showing them the path of true life
where there is only one guide, the
conscience. (46, 44)
5. A materialist loves only human
life, but recognizing that it is fleeting,
He tries to live it intensely.
6. When his plans or ambitions are
not realized, or when pain in some
form surprises him, He becomes
desperate, blaspheming and cursing
his fate, blaming it for his not
receiving the returns to which He
believes He has a right.
7. They are weak spirits in stubborn
material forms; they are morally small
beings who are tested in many ways
to make them understand the true
value of acts which, in their
materialism, they attribute to acts of
little merit.
8. Oh, how the materialists wish to
modify their destinies! They would
wish all to be done according to their
ideas and their will. (258, 48 - 50)
9. Now you may understand that if I
have always manifested Myself in My
wisdom to men, it has been to free the
spirits imprisoned by limited
understanding.
10. Even in this time there exist
minds that are slow and without
inspiration. In a time when men
should already possess lucid minds
Chapter 46 – The badly Guided and Materialist Man
396
cleansed by evolution, many yet think
and live as they did in the primitive
ages.
11. Others have achieved great
advances in science, but wrapping
themselves in vanity and selfishness,
and believing they have reached the
height of wisdom. They are stalled on
the road of their spiritual evolution.
(180, 32 - 33)
12. If men lived awake to the higher
life that exists and vibrates above
them, and if they knew how to ask
questions of the spirit, they would
avoid many stumbling blocks and
save themselves from many abysm;
but they spend their lives asking the
men of science, who have studied the
material nature but cannot resolve
their questions and their uncertainties.
They do not know spiritual life,
because inside them their spirits have
fallen into slumber.
13. The spirit of humanity needs to
wake up so that it can find itself and
discover the gifts that have been given
it to help in its struggle.
14. Today, man is like a small dry
leaf fallen from the tree of life and at
the mercy of the winds, subject to a
thousand troubles, weak before the
elements of Nature, and small and
fragile before death when He should
have made the earth his dominion like
a prince sent by Me to perfect himself
in the world. (278, 4 - 6)
15. The time of judgment, in which I
will ask some "why have you denied
Me", and others, "why have you
persecuted Me", has arrived. Does He
who has not been able to penetrate
himself have the right to deny the
existence of My Kingdom? Not
knowing My truth is different from
not knowing about something of
which you were able to conceive; I
tell you that your ignorance is
plentiful and your arrogance great.
16. In truth I tell you, that whoever
denies God and his Kingdom has
denied himself. He who wishes to
take strength from himself alone,
believing himself absolute, and
feeling proud of being able to be great
without need for God, will have short
steps in this world, He shall soon be
lost, and his sufferings shall be very
painful.
17. Where are the truly wise?
18. To know is to feel My presence;
to know is to let yourself be guided by
My light and do My will; to know is
to understand the Law; to know is to
love. (282, 19 - 22)
19. Today, your spiritual ignorance
is so great that when you remember
those who have departed for the
beyond, you say, "Poor man. He died
and had to leave it all and go away
forever."
20. If you only knew with what
compassion those spirits look upon
you from the spiritual world when
they hear you talk like that. Pity is
what they feel for you when they are
faced with your ignorance, for if you
could behold them, though only for an
instant, you would be speechless,
astounded by the truth. (272, 46 - 47)
Chapter 46 – The badly Guided and Materialist Man
397
21. You have given greater value to
material things than they really have,
and in contrast you now wish to know
nothing of the spiritual; your love of
the world has become such that you
struggle to ignore all that refers to the
spiritual as much as possible, because
you believe that knowledge impedes
your advancement on earth.
22. I tell you that knowledge of the
spiritual does not impede either the
moral or scientific advancement of
man. On the contrary, that light
reveals to men an infinite channel of
knowledge that is now unknown to his
science.
23. As long as man resists elevating
himself on the ladder of spirituality,
He shall not be able to approach the
true greatness that shall be given him
here in the bosom of the Father by the
supreme happiness of being the child
of God, a child worthy of My Spirit
because of his love, his elevation, and
his wisdom. (331, 27 - 28)
Lack of Willingness for Abstention,
Effort and Responsibility
24. If humanity is not obstinate in
their ignorance, their existence on
earth shall be otherwise, but men
rebel against My commandments,
deny their destiny, and instead of
collaborating with Me in My work,
look for ways to evade My law in
order to work their own will.
25. I tell you also, that if humanity
would observe all of their actions
carefully, they would realize how they
rebel against Me at every step.
26. If I pour My blessings out upon
men, they become selfish; if I allow
them to taste pleasure, they commit
excesses; if I test their fortitude in
order to temper their spirits, they
protest; and if I permit the bitter cup
to reach their lips so that they may be
purified, they apostatize from life and
feel a loss of faith. If I put upon their
shoulders the burden of a large
family, they become desperate, and
when I promote some loved one of
theirs from the earth they accuse Me
of being unjust.
27. Never do I see you resigned,
never do I hear you praise My name
in the midst of your trials, nor do I
behold you trying to participate in My
work of creation by means of your
lives. (117, 55 - 57)
28. I have placed greatness in man,
but not the one that He seeks on earth.
The greatness that I speak of is
sacrifice, love, humility and charity.
Man continually flees from those
virtues withdrawing from his true
greatness and from the dignity that the
Father has given him as His son.
29. You avoid humility because you
believe it to signify smallness. You
evade ordeals because misery
frightens you, without realizing that
they come only to liberate your spirit.
You also avoid the spiritual because
you believe that by delving deeper
into that knowledge means wasting
your time, not knowing that you
despise a light superior to all human
science.
Chapter 46 – The badly Guided and Materialist Man
398
30. That is why I have told you that
there are many who even though they
swear that they love Me they do not
love Me, and saying they believe Me
they do not have faith; they have
come to tell Me that they are ready to
follow Me, but they want to follow
Me without a cross. And I have said
to them: Anyone who wants to follow
Me, let him take up his cross and
follow Me. Anyone who embraces his
cross with love will reach the summit
of the Mountain where He will
breathe his last sigh on this earth in
order to be resurrected to the eternal
life. (80. 37 - 39)
31. Today, instead of eliminating the
misery that exists everywhere, man
selfishly attempts to use it to his
benefit.
32. Why hasn't man sought an ideal
that helps him to elevate his emotions
and pursue goals that are worthy of
his spirit? It is because man has not
wanted to perceive beyond his
physical needs, that is to say, beyond
his miseries, his earthly pleasures, and
his material science.
33. He dedicates his time on earth to
accumulating riches and seeking
pleasures, believing that, once He
dies, He will cease to exist.
34. Man, in his ignorant pride,
instead of elevating and seeing
himself as a child of God, descends to
the level of an inferior being, and if
his conscience speaks to him of
Divinity and spiritual life, his fear of
the justice of God overpowers him
and He prefers to silence that inner
voice, diverting his thoughts from
those warnings.
35. He has not meditated on
existence itself, nor in his spiritual
and material condition. How can He
cease to be dust and misery while He
lives and thinks that way. (207, 18)
36. My Doctrine, which at every
moment is the explanation of the Law,
has come to you as the road of light,
as the secure opening for the spirit;
nonetheless, men using the free will
they were given, and wishing to
choose a path for their lives, choose
always the easy road of materialism;
some of them refusing absolutely to
hear the calls of their consciences,
which lead always to the spiritual;
while others who create cults and rites
so they may believe themselves
marching firmly on the spiritual path
are, in truth, as egotistical as those
who exclude My name and My word
from their lives. (213, 51)
37. The road is prepared and the
door open for all who wish to come to
Me.
38. The road is narrow, you have
long known that, none of you are
ignorant that My Law and My
Teaching are too infinitely clean and
strict for any to think of reforming
them to their own convenience or
will.
39 The wide road and the broad
doorway are not precisely those that
lead your spirit to the light. The wide
road is that of libertinism,
disobedience, arrogance, and
materialism: the road that the majority
Chapter 46 – The badly Guided and Materialist Man
399
follow seeking to flee from their
spiritual responsibility and from the
inner judgment of their conscience.
40. That road can not be infinite,
because it is neither true nor perfect,
and since, like all things human, it is
limited, one day man shall come to
the end of that road, where He shall
stop, horrified, to lean out over the
abyss that marks the end of that path.
Then is when chaos shall arise in the
hearts of those who have long
deviated from the true path.
41. In some there will be repentance,
for which purpose they shall find
enough light to save themselves; in
others will arise confusion when faced
with an end that they consider unfair
and illogical; in others there will be
blaspheMy and rebellion, yet truly I
tell you, that shall be the beginning of
the return to the light. (333, 64 - 68)
The Spiritual Misery of Men
42. I have not been mistaken in what
I have done; man has certainly
mistaken his route and his existence,
but soon He will return to Me like the
prodigal son who squandered all his
inheritance.
43. With his science He has created
a new world, a false kingdom. He has
made laws, He has set up his throne
and has appropriated for himself a
crown and a scepter. But how fleeting
and deceiving is his splendor! A weak
gust of My justice is enough for their
foundations to be shaken and all their
empire to crumble. Nevertheless, the
kingdom of peace, of justice and of
love, is very distant from the heart of
mankind, who has not been able to
conquer it.
44. The pleasure and the
satisfactions, which their work
provides for men, are fictitious. In
their heart there is pain, uneasiness
and disappointment, which are hidden
behind the mask of their smile.
45. This is what has been done with
the human existence, and regarding
the life of the spirit and the laws that
govern him, they have been distorted
forgetting that there are also forces
and elements that vivify the spirit with
which man should be in contact to
endure the ordeals and temptations
and withstand all the obstacles and
disappointments along the road of his
ascent toward perfection.
46. That light from the infinite that
reaches every spirit does not originate
from the sun; the strength that the
spirit receives from the Beyond is not
an emanation of the earth; the
fountain of love, of truth and of health
which calms the thirst for knowledge
of the spirit is not the water of your
seas or your springs. The environment
that surrounds you is not only
material, it is an emanation, breath
and inspiration which the human spirit
receives directly from the Creator of
everything, from the One who has
created life and governs it with His
perfect and immutable laws.
47. If men put a little of good will
toward returning to the path of truth,
they would instantly feel like an
incentive of the caress of peace. But
the spirit, when it becomes
materialistic through the influence of
Chapter 46 – The badly Guided and Materialist Man
400
the material, succumbs in its wars,
and instead of being the lord of this
life, the helmsman guiding his ship,
becomes a slave of human tendencies
and inclinations and a castaway in the
midst of the storms.
48. I have already told you that the
spirit is before the flesh, as the body is
before the garment. That body that
you possess is merely a passing
fashion of the spirit. (80, 49 - 53)
49. O, if only all men wished to look
upon the light being born into this era,
how much hope there would be in
there hearts! But they sleep, not
knowing even how to receive the light
sent them each day by the sun, that
first light, which is like an image of
the radiant light of the Creator.
50. The sun caresses you and
awakens you to the daily struggle,
without men, who are insensitive to
the beauties of creation, stopping for a
few moments to thank Me. The glory
could pass them without them
realizing it, for they always awaken
preoccupied, forgetting to pray to seek
spiritual strength in Me.
51. Nor do they seek energy for the
material in the sources offered by
Nature. All run around hurriedly,
without knowing exactly where they
are going, and fight, without knowing
why, in that senseless blind and deaf
struggle in which they have made
their spirits materialistic and selfish.
52. With the laws of the spirit, which
are the light of life, now forgotten,
men destroy, kill each other, and steal
the bread from one another's hands
without hearing the voice of the
conscience, without stopping to
consider their actions, and without
stopping to meditate.
53. Yet, if someone were to ask how
they judge their lives, they would
instantly reply that never in the past
had the light shined so brilliantly in
human life as now, and that science
had never before revealed so many
secrets. But they would have to say all
this holding a mask of happiness
before their faces, for in their hearts
they would be hiding all their pain
and spiritual misery. (104, 33 - 34)
54. I sent the spirit to incarnate on
earth and become human so that it
would be prince and lord over all that
exists, not to be a slave, a victim, or a
beggar, as I see it is now. Man is a
slave to his needs, his passions, his
vices, and his ignorance.
55. He is a victim of his suffering,
his stumbles, and the vicissitudes that
his lack of spiritual elevation cause
him in his transit through the earth.
He is a beggar, because not knowing
the part of the inheritance that
corresponds to him in life, He does
not know of what He is owner, and
acts like nothing belongs to him.
56. It is necessary that this humanity
awaken to begin to study the book of
spiritual life and transmit that idea
from generation to generation so that
soon, the blessed seed will arise in
which My word will be fulfilled.
57. I have told you that this
humanity shall one day reach
spirituality, and will know how to live
Chapter 46 – The badly Guided and Materialist Man
401
in harmony with all that has been
created, and to march together
harmoniously in heart, spirit, and
understanding. (305, 8 - 11)
Earthly Misconduct and its
Consequences
58. When I see men occupied in
their wars, killing each other for the
possession of the riches of the world, I
cannot but continue comparing
humanity with those children who
fight over worthless objects. Men are
still children who fight for a little bit
of power or gold. What do these
possessions mean compared to the
virtues treasured by other men?
59. You cannot compare the man
who divides peoples by sowing hatred
in their hearts, with He who
consecrates his life to watering the
seed of universal brotherhood. You
can not compare He who goes on
causing the suffering of his brothers,
with He who dedicates his life to
relieving the pain of his fellow men.
60. Every man dreams of a throne on
earth, even though from the beginning
they have seen how little an earthly
throne is worth.
61. I have offered you a place in My
kingdom, but few are those who have
accepted; they do not wish to
understand that the smallest subject of
the King of Heaven is greater that the
most powerful monarch on earth.
62. Men are still children, yet the
great trial that approaches will make
them pass from infancy to maturity in
a very short time, and with the benefit
of that experience they shall cry out:
"Jesus, our Father, was right. Let us
join Him. (111, 3 - 7)
63. Men seek immortality in the
world, trying to reach it through
material works, because although
earthly glory is ephemeral, it is
tangible; they forget about the glory
of the spirit because they doubt the
existence of that life. It is the lack of
faith and spirituality that have placed
a veil of skepticism over the eyes of
men. (128, 45)
64. Human evolution, with its
progress, its science, and its
civilization has never had as its goal
the elevation of the spirit, which is the
highest and most noble of what exists
in man. His aspirations, his ambitions
and his yearnings, have always been
his goal in this world. It is here that
they have sought wisdom, here that
they have accumulated treasures, and
here that they have chased after
pleasure, honors, awards, powers, and
praise. They have wished to find their
glory here.
65. That is why I tell you that while
Nature advances step by step, without
ceasing in its law of unceasing
evolution toward the subtile, toward
perfection, man has remained behind,
stationary and for that reason He has
troubles on earth, for that reason He
has the trials, the stumbles, and the
blows He finds on his road. (277, 42)
66. I want you to have yearnings and
ambitions, and that you dream of
Chapter 46 – The badly Guided and Materialist Man
402
being great, strong, and wise, but in
the eternal goods of the spirit.
67. For reaching those goods
requires all the virtues such as:
charity, humility, forgiveness,
patience, and nobility; in a word: love.
And all these virtues elevate, purify,
and perfect the spirit.
68. In this small world, in this
fleeting dwelling, man, to be great,
powerful, rich, and wise, has had to be
selfish, vengeful, cruel, indifferent,
inhumane, and proud; and all of this
has had to lead him toward the
opposite, to what is truth, love, peace,
and true wisdom and justice. (288, 32)
69. When men find themselves
spiritually is when they feel in
themselves the presence of the Father,
but while they do not know who they
are nor where they come from, they
feel Me to be distant, strange, and
unreachable - or they remain
incensing.
70. Only when awakened can the
spirit enter the kingdom of truth; man
cannot know it by science alone.
71. I see that men wish to have
knowledge, glory, strength, riches,
and power; I come to offer them the
means to achieve all these, but in their
essence, their spiritual truth, not in the
superficial and artful ways of the
world, not in the fleeting or deceitful.
72. When man gives himself to the
material, enclosing himself in a small
space of a world like yours, He
impoverishes, limits, and oppresses
his spirit; thereafter, nothing exists for
him but what He knows and
possesses. Then it is necessary that He
lose everything so that He may open
his eyes to truth, and once convinced
of his error, return his gaze to the
eternal. (139, 40 - 43)
My peace be with you !
403
Chapter 47 - Materialism and Spiritualism
The Repercussions of the Present
Materialism
1. Truly I tell you, that many will
flee from My Doctrine for fear of
spiritualizing themselves, but it shall
be neither reason nor the spirit that
speaks in them, but the low passions
of the material.
2. A spirit, when it lives adhering to
truth, flees from materialism like
someone fleeing from a plague. The
elevated spirit finds happiness only in
what is moral, where peace exists and
love dwells. (99, 41 - 42)
3. Analyze My word until you are
certain of its purity and its truth. Only
in that way will you be able to remain
strong and firm when confronting
materialistic ideas which threaten the
spirit. For materialism is death, it is
darkness, it is a prison and poison to
the spirit. Never exchange the light
and the freedom of your spirit for
earthly bread or miserly material
possessions.
4. Truly I say to you that whoever
trusts in My law and perseveres in
faith to the end will never lack
material nourishment, and during the
moments of communication with My
Spirit you will always receive the
bread of eternal life through My
infinite charity. (34, 61 - 62)
5. Materialism interposes itself as an
immense obstacle in the road of the
spirit's evolution. Mankind has halted
before that wall.
6. You find yourself in a world in
which man has managed to develop
his understanding, as applied to
material science, but remains clumsy
in his reasoning about the spiritual;
his knowledge of all but the strictly
material is underdeveloped.
7. The trials that the world is passing
through are the signs of the end of an
era. They are the twilight, the final
agony of the Era of materialism,
because there has been materialism in
your science, your ambitions, and in
your affections. There has been
materialism in your worship to Me
and in all your works.
8. The love of the world, the greed
for the land, the desires of the flesh,
the satisfaction of all the lower
desires, the selfishness, the love of
self, and the pride were the force with
which you created a life according to
your intelligence and your human
will, and whose fruits I have allowed
you to gather so that your experience
would be absolute.
9. And yet, if this Era that now ends
is noted in the history of mankind for
its materialism, truly, I tell you, that
the new time shall be distinguished by
its spirituality, for in it will be the
conscience and the will of the spirit
that on the earth construct a world of
beings elevated by love, a life in
which the vibration of the Spirit of the
Father is felt in the spirits of his
children, because all the gifts and
powers that today live hidden in your
Chapter 47 - Materialism and Spiritualism
404
being, shall have a place to develop:
infinity. (305, 41 - 42)
The Essence of Spiritualism
10. Spiritualism is not a mixture of
religions, it is the Doctrine that is
purest and most perfect in its
simplicity, the light of God
descending to the human spirit in this
Third Era. (273, 50)
11. The revelation that speaks to you
about the life of the Spirit, that
teaches you to communicate directly
with your Divine Father, and that
helps you to evolve spiritually, I call
Spiritualism.
12. Truly I tell you that Spiritualism
is not something new that pertains to
this period. It is a revelation that has
gradually unfolded according to the
spiritual evolution of humanity.
13. I am giving you a Doctrine of
Spiritualism that teaches you how to
love God and your brethren in a
perfect manner. It also offers you the
path that leads to spiritual perfection.
The Law of God in the First Era and
the teachings of Christ in the Second
Era, also taught you about
Spiritualism. (289, 20 - 22)
14. Spiritualism is not a religion; it is
the same Doctrine that in the body of
Jesus I came to pour out over the
world for the orientation of all men in
all times. It is My Doctrine of love,
justice, understanding, and
forgiveness.
15. Due to your spiritual, material,
and intellectual evolution, I have
spoken to you with greater clarity in
this, the Third Era. (359, 60 - 61)
16. Spiritualism comes to destroy the
customs and traditions imposed by
men that have held back the spirit.
Spiritualism is the evolution and
incessant elevation of the spirit, which
through its gifts and attributes purifies
and perfects itself until it comes to its
Creator. Spiritualism shows the way
how the spirit expresses, feels, and
receives its Lord. Spiritualism frees
and develops the spirit.
17. The spiritual is the universal
strength and light that is in and of all.
My teachings shall be strange to no
one.
18. The attributes of the spirit are
immutable because they are the
virtues of My Divinity; they are
eternal forces. Understand, however,
you will be able to show greater or
lesser purity according to how you
have lived. (214, 57 - 59)
Who can justly call themselves
Spiritualized
19. He who has reached some degree
of spiritualism through his
perseverance, evolution, and love for
the lessons of the Father is a
spiritualist, even if his own lips do not
say so.
20. He who has faith and elevation
in his actions must reflect that which
is in his spirit. (236, 27 - 28)
21. The spiritualized know that the
Omnipotent is in all, that the world,
the universe, and the infinite are
Chapter 47 - Materialism and Spiritualism
405
saturated with My essence and My
presence.
22. He who conceives of Me and
recognizes Me in this way, is a living
temple of God and will no longer
materialize the manifestations of the
spirit with symbols or forms. (213, 31
- 32)
23. Spiritualism is the revelation that
uncovers and points out all that you
bear inside. It makes you recognize
that you are a work of God, that you
are not mere matter, that there is
something above the flesh that
elevates you above the nature that
covers you, and above the foulness of
your passions.
24. When men arrive at spirituality,
every precept and every maxim form
part of the light of conscience. Even
though their memory retains not a
single phrase or a single word of My
teaching, they bear its essence in their
beings, for they have understood it,
felt it, and practiced it. (240, 17 - 18)
25. The good spiritualist shall be He
who in the midst of a poverty of
material goods feels like a lord: rich
and happy, knowing that the Father
loves him, that He has brothers whom
He may love, and that the riches of
the world are unimportant compared
to the riches of the spirit.
26. He also shall be a good
spiritualist who, being owner of
material wealth, knows how to use it
to good ends, taking it as the means
that God has given him to perform an
important mission on earth.
27. It is not indispensable to be poor,
a pariah, or miserable to be counted
among those who follow Me, just as it
is also unnecessary to be of those who
weep to be loved by Me. Truly I tell
you, I have always wished you to be
strong, healthy, and the owners of all I
created for you.
28. When will you know yourselves
as the beneficiaries of your
inheritance, knowing how to
appreciate each grace and giving it its
proper place in life? (87, 28 – 30)
Spiritualism in Religions and
Confessions
29. Today men live in an age of
confusion, because they have not yet
come to understand that all of their
lives and struggles should lead them
to the development of the spirit,
whose goal must be the
communication of the spirit with the
Creator.
30. The worship that most men of
today profess is that of materialism.
31. While the doctrines and religions
persist in their differences, the world
continues to foster hatred, and cannot
take the decisive step to true worship.
32. But when will men understand,
and unite, taking thereby the decisive
first step toward the love of one
another, given that there are still men
who believe they possess the key or
the secret, to the salvation of the spirit
and the keys to eternal life, and who
disown all those who go by other
paths, because in their judgment, they
are unworthy to come before God?
Chapter 47 - Materialism and Spiritualism
406
33. Understand then, the true
purpose of Spiritualism, whose
Doctrine is above all religion, all
human ideas, and all sects. (297, 38 -
41)
34. Spiritualism is not a new
doctrine come to achieve the
evolution of the beliefs of the past
eras; no, it is the same revelation as in
the First Era and Second Era. It is the
basis of all religions, of which in these
moments of divisiveness I have come
to remind all humanity so that they do
not forget their beginnings.
35. The works of men, their customs
and ways of impressing the senses to
flatter and exalt themselves in their
various religions, are contrary to what
My Work comes to show the world.
(363, 9)
36. During this time I come to give
you new teachings in which you
should meditate, lessons of love
which will redeem and elevate you,
truth which even though bitter, will be
enlightenment along your path.
37. Spirituality of this period, like
Christianity of the past era, will be
contested and pursued with anger,
cruelty and fury, and in the middle of
the struggle, the spiritual will emerge
working miracles and winning hearts.
38. Materialism, egotism, pride and
worldly love, will be the forces which
will arise against this revelation,
which is not new or different from the
one that I brought you in past times.
The Doctrine which I have come to
reveal to you now, and to which you
give the name of Spirituality, is the
essence of the Law and the Doctrine
which were revealed to you in the
First and Second Eras.
39. When mankind understands the
truth of this teaching, its justice and
the infinite knowledge that it reveals,
they will reject from their heart all
fear, all prejudice and they will adopt
it as a norm of their life. (24, 48 - 51)
40. Truly I tell you, that the
spiritualists, men prepared to
contribute to the peace of humanity,
are scattered all over the world.
41. Still, I tell you, the union
between the spiritualists from all over
the globe, shall not be brought about
by the organization of a new church,
because their strength shall not be
material. Their union shall be of
thought, of ideals, and of works, and
in this way their strength shall be
invincible, for it will have been taken
from the eternal source which is My
Spirit.
42. I am inspiring My truth, and
touching all, so that all the impurities
that must not be mixed with My light
are removed from their hearts and
their understanding.
43. All have the duty to permit that
through their gifts the Spiritualist
Doctrine be clarified and defined,
taking care that it is not contaminated
by human philosophies. (299, 30 - 32)
44. Truly I say to you that in the
history of humanity, will be the
history of Spirituality, written with
shining letters.
Chapter 47 - Materialism and Spiritualism
407
45. Was not Israel immortalized
after liberating themselves from their
bondage in Egypt? Were not the
Christians immortalized in their
conquest through love? So will the
followers of Spirituality be
immortalized in their struggle for the
freedom of the spirit. (8, 64 - 65)
My peace be with you !

Chapter 48 - Spiritual Gifts and Spiritualization
The Spiritual Abilities of Human
Beings
1. When this skeptical, incredulous,
and materialist humanity finds itself
faced with a Divine manifestation, or
what they call miracles, they instantly
seek out explanations or evidence to
demonstrate that there was no
supernatural action, that there was no
miracle.
2. When a man appears manifesting
an uncommon spiritual gift, mockery,
doubt, and indifference arise before
him to quiet his voice; and when
Nature, that instrument of My
Divinity, gives voice to calls to justice
and warning messages for men, they
attribute all to chance; humanity has
never been so insensitive, so blind and
deaf to all that is Divine, all that is
spiritual and eternal, as it is today.
3. Millions of men call themselves
Christian, but the majority of them do
not know the doctrine of Christ. They
say they love the works I performed
as man, but their manner of believing,
thinking, and conceptualizing
demonstrates that they do not know
the essence of My doctrine.
4. I came to show you the life of the
spirit, to reveal to you the powers
contained in it; that is why I came to
the world.
5. I healed the sick with no medicine
whatsoever, I spoke to the spirits,
freed the possessed of strange and
supernatural influences, spoke with
nature, transfigured Myself from man
to Spirit, and Spirit to man, and each
of those works had the goal of
showing you the road of the evolution
of the spirit. (114, 1 - 4)
6. You carry within you true
treasures: powers and gifts you do not
even guess at, but from ignorance you
weep like paupers. What do you know
of the power of prayer and the
strength of thought? What do you
know of the profound content of the
communication between spirit and
Spirit? - Nothing, you materialistic
and carnal humanity. (292, 14)
7. Spirituality is what I expect of the
world, before Me the names with
which each sect or religion
distinguishes itself have no
importance, nor do the greater or
lesser splendor of their rites and
outward worship; those things reach
only human senses; they do not reach
My Spirit.
8. I expect spirituality of men
because it means the elevation of life,
the ideal of perfection, the love of
good, the worship of truth, the
practice of charity, and harmony with
oneself, which is harmony with
others, and therefore with God. (326,
21 - 22)
9. Spirituality does not mean
Mysticism, nor does it imply the
performance of any rite, nor is it a
[form of] external worship.
Spirituality means the development of
all the faculties of man; those that
Chapter 48 - Spiritual Gifts and Spiritualization
410
correspond to the human part just as
those that vibrate beyond the senses of
the body and which are the powers,
attributes, faculties, and senses of the
spirit.
10. Spirituality is the fair and just
application of all those gifts that man
possesses. Spirituality is harmony
with all that surrounds you. (326, 63 -
66)
11. In that time I taught you the
greatest virtue, which is charity. I
inspired your hearts and sensitized
your sentiments. Now I come to
reveal to you all the gifts with which
your spirit is endowed, so that you
may develop them and apply them to
doing charity among your fellow men.
12. Knowledge of spiritual life will
permit you to carry out works similar
to those performed by your Master.
Remember what I told you, that upon
developing your faculties you would
perform real prodigies. (85, 20 - 21)
13. All of you possess the gifts of
the spirit, which are beginning to
develop in this Third Era due to the
evolution reached by the spirits.
Intuition, foresight, revelation,
prophecy, and inspiration are
manifesting in a clear way among
humanity, and it is this that proclaims
the new era; it is the light of the book
of the Seven Seals, open, in this era,
to the Sixth Chapter.
14. You who know the reason for
these manifestations and the Era in
which you live. Channel your gifts
into the road of love; be always
prepared to offer your charity, and
you will always be in harmony with
My Law, and serve as an example for
your brothers. Then you will be My
disciples, and be recognized as such.
(95, 18)
15. When men love and know how
to forgive, when humility exists in
their hearts and they have made the
spirit impose itself over the material,
the flesh, the world, and the passions
will no longer form the thick veil that
prevents you from looking back or
forward on the road. On the contrary,
the material spiritualized by the
practice of My doctrine shall be like a
docile servant to the dictates of the
conscience, instead of what it is now:
an obstacle, a trap, a blindfold over
the eyes of the spirit. (122, 32)
16. Intuition, which is clairvoyance,
presentiment, and prophecy, clears the
mind and makes the heart beat in
response to the messages and voices it
receives from the infinite.
17. By means of the gift of intuition,
which I have given to all men, you
may discover many things hidden
among the heart's secrets, many
tragedies that affect not only the
earthly lives, but also the spirits of
your brothers.
18. How can one enter the intimacy
of those hearts without wounding
them or profaning their secrets? How
can one discover the hidden pains that
shadow the lives of our brothers? I
have already told you: Intuition, the
gift that is part of spiritual sight and
Chapter 48 - Spiritual Gifts and Spiritualization
411
which will reach full development in
you through prayer, shall show you
the way to calm the pain of each one
of your fellow men. (312, 72 - 74)
19. How many Mysteries still exist
for man! He is surrounded by
invisible and untouchable beings that
should already be visible and
touchable.
20. A life full of beauty and
revelations palpitates over the
existence of men, and these in their
blindness have not managed to see it.
(164, 56 - 57)
21. A man spiritually prepared by
My Doctrine will be able to perform
superhuman works. From his spirit
and body a light, a power, and a
strength will emanate which will
allow him to do that which
intelligence alone is not able to
perform. (252, 4 - 5)
22. This is the time in which the
Divine light shall shine plainly in My
followers, who shall exhibit the gifts
of the spirit by showing that they do
not need earthly goods nor material
sciences to perform charity and work
prodigies. They shall heal in My
name, curing the hopelessly ill,
transforming water to healing balsam,
and raising the dead from their
deathbeds. Their prayer shall have the
power to calm the wind, to assuage
the elements and combat epidemics
and evil influences.
23. The possessed shall be relieved
of their obsessions, their persecutors,
and their oppressors before the word,
the prayer, and the power of My new
disciples. (160, 28 - 29)
24. Spirituality means the elevation
of the sentiments, purity in life, faith,
love of others, charity, humility
before God, and profound respect for
the gifts received. When you achieve
any of these virtues, your spiritual
gaze begins to enter the mansion of
love and perfection. And therefore,
when you reach a state of spirituality
while still on earth, you will be able to
say that you inhabit, at least in
moments of prayer, the spiritual
valley. At the same time, you shall
receive the light that reveals events of
the future, because for the spirit that
has begun to ascend the future
becomes less and less of a Mystery.
25. Yes, disciples. Only in human
life is man ignorant of what will
happen in the future, of the events of
tomorrow; not knowing his destiny,
nor the path He shall have to follow,
or what will be its end.
26. Man could not bear the
knowledge of all the trials that He will
have to experience in his life. In My
charity for him I have created that veil
between his present and his future,
preventing him from loosing his mind
knowing and beholding all which He
will have to live and feel.
27. In contrast, the spirit, a being
strongly armored and created for
eternity, has the power to know its
destiny, and the strength to understand
and accept those trials that await it,
for it knows that at the end of the
Chapter 48 - Spiritual Gifts and Spiritualization
412
road, when it has followed it with
obedience to the Law, it shall come to
the Promised Land, the paradise of the
spirit, which is the state of evolution,
purity, and perfection that it will reach
in the end.
28. You cannot reach the level of
spirituality of your Master in order to
know what your destiny holds and
what the future offers you, but by
means of your elevation, I shall make
you sense the nearness of some
events.
29. That presentiment, that seeing of
the future, that knowledge of your
destiny, you shall begin to achieve as
your being, formed of body and spirit,
continues ascending on the road of
spirituality, which I tell you again, is
faith, purity, and the love of life; it is
love and charity for your fellow men,
it is humility and love before your
Lord. (160, 6 - 9 and 13 - 14)
30. Be alert, so that you can
recognize the true prophets and the
false, so that you do not fight against
those who like you, are fulfilling
missions confided to them by My
Divinity; so that you may recognize
the true prophets and the false, and
confirm the works of these, and
destroy the works of the others.
31. For this is the time when all the
forces have risen to battle. There is
good fighting evil, the light against
the darkness, wisdom against
ignorance, and peace against war.
(256, 66)
Requirements and Characteristics
of authentic Spiritualism
32. Understand, a "Judas" exists in
each man. Yes, disciples, because in
your case the material body is Judas
to the spirit: it is the material that
opposes the shining light of
spirituality, that which besieges the
spirit to make it fall into materialism,
into the lower passions.
33. But do not condemn your
material form because it brings you to
the edge of the abyss. You need it for
your advancement and you will
overcome it with your spirituality, as I
overcame Judas with love. (150, 67 -
68)
34. Before you rise up to teach My
maxims and expose its concepts, you
should begin by practicing the
teachings that I have revealed to you:
loving your fellow men, living an
elevated life, sowing your path with
light and charity. If you do not do this,
then I can tell you now that you have
not understood spirituality; it
uncovers your essence, and by means
of it you can form a true concept of
your Father and know yourselves.
35. It is true that in order to achieve
spirituality you need a certain amount
of renunciation, and some effort and
sacrifice; but if in you a yearning for
elevation has awoken, if love has
begun to vibrate in your being, or if
the ideal of spiritualism has arisen in
you, instead of sacrifices and self -
denial it will be a pleasure for you to
cast off all that is useless, superfluous,
or evil. (269, 46 - 47)
Chapter 48 - Spiritual Gifts and Spiritualization
413
36. Keep always in mind that before
Me you are all equal, that all of you
had the same beginning, and that all
bear the same purpose, though each
destiny presents a different outward
appearance.
37. Never forget that all of you must
come to Me, which means that all,
though in different ways, shall earn
the merit necessary to reach the
highest spiritual height; therefore,
never consider none to be inferior.
38. Vanity should never sprout in the
spiritualist, rather should He be
always accompanied by true modesty;
his acts, therefore, instead of dazzling
with false light, shall resound in the
hearts of his brothers. (322, 32 - 34)
39. The good sowers of spiritualism
shall never be distinguished by the
outward or the material. There shall
be no habits, no insignia, nor any
special manner of speaking for them.
All their acts will be of simplicity and
humility; if they are known for
anything, it will be for their charity
and spirituality.
40. The true preachers of
spiritualism shall not be noted by the
floweriness of their language, but by
the wisdom and simplicity of their
words, but above all for the truth in
their works, and the goodness of their
lives. (194, 24 - 25)
41. Spirituality is clarity, simplicity,
the worship of love, and the struggle
to reach the perfection of the spirit.
(159, 64)
The Blessed Effects of Spirituality
42. By means of spirituality, a
degree of elevation can be reached
that permits man to conceive of ideas
beyond that which his mind can
imagine, and have power over the
material.
43. Think now, if the elevation of the
spirit were employed in the study of
the material creation presented by
nature, or any other human ideal, what
fruits could be obtained if your
discoveries were due not only to
examination by the mind, but also to
the intervention of the spiritual
revelations given to you by He who
created all. (126, 26 - 27)
44. When men achieve spirituality
they shall be creatures superior to all
that surrounds them; yet until now
they have been only weak beings at
the mercy of the influences, the
elements, and the forces that ought
not to be above man, because they are
not superior to him. (280, 29)
45. I tell you truly, that spirituality
too, is inherited, and so you should
take care to transmit purity, and a
sensitivity to the spiritual to your
children; they shall thank you for
having the charity to bestow on them
a body with sane passions, a clear
mind, a sensitive heart, and a spirit
awake to the call of the conscience.
(289, 65)
46. The only goal of My Work is the
spirituality of all men, because in
spirituality they shall have to identify
and understand themselves. In
Chapter 48 - Spiritual Gifts and Spiritualization
414
spirituality they shall see disappear
the names and the exterior forms of
their religions, which have been the
cause of their spiritual distancing
brought about by each interpreting
God differently.
47. Then, when all on their different
paths come closer to spirituality, they
shall understand that all they have
needed to do was liberate themselves
from their materialism, in order to
translate into spiritual form what they
always took in a material way.
48. Spirituality is all I ask of men in
this time, and within what is right,
they shall see their greatest ideals
fulfilled and their greatest conflicts
resolved. (321, 22 - 23 and 29)
My peace be with you !
415
XI. Humanity
Chapter 49 - Religion and Justice on Earth
No Religion or Sect is the
Authentic
1. I do not come to awaken religious
fanaticism among men; My doctrine
is very distant from the teaching of
falsehoods. I want reform, faith,
charity, and spirituality. Fanaticism is
a blindfold of darkness, an insane
passion, it is gloom. Keep watch so
that evil seed does not penetrate your
heart, and beware, for fanaticism
sometimes takes on the appearance of
love.
2. Know that in these times that
darkness has invaded humanity. See
how, in spite of the pagan peoples
having disappeared from the earth and
the majority of humanity professing to
worship the true God, men do not
know or love Me. Their wars, their
hatred, and their lack of harmony are
proof that they still do not allow Me
to live in their hearts.
3. Great whirlwinds are approaching
that darkness of religious fanaticism
and idolatry, and must purify the
spiritual worship of this humanity.
When that work has been done, the
rainbow of peace will shine in the
infinite. (83, 60 - 62)
4. On earth I have allowed religions
to exist; they are the roads of the spirit
that lead to God. Every religion that
teaches righteousness and love and
exalts charity is good, because it
contains the light of truth. When
within them men degenerate and turn
to evil that which was originally good,
then the road becomes lost among
materialism and sin.
5. That is why I come in this time: to
show you once again My coming,
which is the way, the essence, and the
law; so that you seek this law, which
is both beacon and star, beyond the
forms and the rites, beyond all that is
human. He who seeks me thus, is a
spiritualist. (197, 10 - 11)
6. Not one shall be lost; some shall
arrive earlier on the road I have
shown you, while others come later
on the roads that they are following.
7. In any religion men could take the
teachings necessary to make
themselves good, but when they do
not do this, they blame the religion
they profess and continue as they
always have.
8. Each religion is a path, some more
perfect than others, but all lead you
toward good and to try to reach the
Father. If there is something in the
religion you know that does not
satisfy you, do not lose faith in Me;
walk on the road of charity and you
will be saved, for My road is
illuminated by the virtue of love.
(114, 43)
9. The religions are small truths that
lead spirits to the true path by which
they may ascend, step by step, to
Chapter 49 - Religion and Justice on Earth
416
come to Me. While men profess
different faiths on earth, they are
divided, but when they have taken the
path of love and truth, they will have
joined and identified with that single
light, for the Truth is one only.
10. The unification of the religions
shall occur when the spirit of
humanity has ascended above
materialism, traditions, prejudices,
and fanaticism; for then men will have
united spiritually in a single worship:
doing good out of love of God and
fellow man. When it is thus, humanity
shall enter a period of perfecting
itself.
11. The spiritual division of men
exists because some have grasped one
branch and others a different one.
There are many branches, but only
one tree; men, however, have not
wanted to understand My teachings in
this way, and the disputes deepen and
widen the differences. Each believes
He possesses the truth, each one
believes himself right; yet, I tell you
that while you taste the fruit of only
one branch without knowing the fruit
of the others, you shall not recognize
that all the fruit come from the same
Divine tree, whose union forms the
absolute truth.
12. Do not believe that the Master
refers to the different religion's
outward forms of worship in speaking
to you this way, but to the
fundamental principles upon which
each one rests.
13. The strong wind presaging a
storm has begun to be felt; its gusts,
upon battering at the tree, shall cause
some fruits to peel away and be tried
by those who had not before known
them.
14. Then, they shall say: "How
wrong we were, and how blind, when
carried away by our fanaticism we
rejected any fruits offered us by our
brothers, just because they seemed
unknown to us!"
15. A part of My light is in each of
the multitudes, in every congregation.
Let none therefore boast that they
posses all the truth. Understand that if
you wish to penetrate deeper into the
eternal, if you want to go beyond
where you are, if you wish to know
more about Me and yourselves, first
you must join the knowledge of one to
another, and so on among all. From
that harmony shall spring the clear
and pure light that you have sought in
the world but could never find.
16. "Love one another." That is the
maxim, My supreme commandment
to man, without distinction of creed or
religion.
17. Approach one another through
that maxim and you will find me
present in each of you. (129, 36 - 41)
The Antagonism of Religions to
Development
18. Men have worried more about
their human lives than their spiritual
lives, often even while knowing that
the human is fleeting and the spiritual
eternal. That is why while advancing
their civilization and their science,
spiritually men tarry, dozing in their
religions.
Chapter 49 - Religion and Justice on Earth
417
19. Observe the religions one by
one, and you will see that none shows
evidence of evolution, development,
or perfecting itself; [yet] each one is
proclaimed as the highest truth, and
those who profess it, believing that
through it they find and know all,
make no effort to move forward.
20. The Divine revelations, the Law
of God, My doctrine, and My
manifestations have made you
understand from the beginning that
man is a being subject to evolution.
Why then do none of your religions
give evidence or proof of this truth?
21. I tell you that a doctrine that
wakens the spirit, gives it light,
develops it and reveals what it
contains, that lifts it up every time it
stumbles, and keeps it moving
unceasingly forward: such a doctrine
is inspired by truth. And is that not
what My teaching has revealed to you
in every era?
22. Nonetheless, spiritually you have
been stationary for a long time,
because you have been more worried
about things that touch your lives on
earth than the things which
correspond to your spirit. But in order
not to completely abandon the
spiritual, you have made your
religions in such a way that they do
not at all impede your tasks, duties,
and work on earth.
23. And so, complying with that
religious tradition you imagine you
are fulfilling your duty to God; you
try to quiet your conscience, and
believe you are assuring your passage
to Glory.
24. Such ignorance, humanity!
When will you wake up to reality?
Don't you realize that complying with
your religions gives nothing to Me or
to your own spirit?
25. When you leave your churches
and temples and say: "I have complied
with God's rules", you have made a
big error, because you believe that
you came to give something to Me,
when in fact you should realize that
you have nothing to give Me, and
much to receive from Me, as well as
to give yourselves.
26. You believe that obedience to the
Law is limited to going to those
places, and that is another serious
error, because those places should be
schools where the disciples learn so
that they can put the lessons learned
into practice throughout their lives:
that is true compliance with the Law.
(265, 22 - 27)
The Relation between Religion and
Science
27. From the beginning of time, the
emissaries of the Law and Doctrine of
the spirit have seen the man of science
as an adversary, and great battles have
taken place between them. It is time
that I say something about these
controversies.
28. I made this world to serve as a
temporary dwelling for incarnated
spirits, but before they came to
populate it, I prepared them with the
gifts of conscience, understanding,
and will.
29. I knew beforehand the destiny
and evolution of My creatures, and
Chapter 49 - Religion and Justice on Earth
418
deposited on the earth, in its bowels,
on its surface, and in its atmosphere,
all the elements necessary for the
protection, sustenance, development,
and even the enjoyment of human
beings. And so that man could
discover the secrets of nature as a
source of life, I permitted his
intelligence to awaken.
30. So the principle of the sciences
was revealed to man, a gift that all [of
you] possess, although there have
always been some men of greater
capacity whose mission has been to
wrest from Nature the secrets of its
forces and elements for the well -
being and joy of humanity.
31. I have also sent great spirits to
the earth to reveal spiritual life to you,
that which is found over Nature,
beyond science. By means of those
revelations, you have sensed the
existence of a universal, powerful,
creating omnipotent, and omnipresent
Being, who reserves for man an
existence after his death, an eternal
life for the spirit.
32. However since some men come
bearing spiritual missions, and others
scientific ones, they have risen to
strive with each other in all times,
always as enemies: religion and
science.
33. Today I tell you that spirit and
matter are not opposing forces;
harmony must exist between them.
My spiritual revelations are light, and
so are the revelations and discoveries
of science. Yet if you have heard Me
censure the work of scientists, it is
because many of them have taken the
energy, the elements, and the
previously unknown forces of Nature
for unchecked ambition and earthly
dominion, and for the depraved
purposes of destruction, hatred, and
revenge.
34. I should tell you that to those
who have acted with love and for
good ends on their missions, to those
who have respectfully and humbly
penetrated My arcane, it has pleased
Me to uncover great Mysteries for the
benefit of My daughter, humanity.
35. Science, since the beginning of
the world, has kept humanity walking
on the path of material progress, on
which at every step men have found
the fruits of science, sweet to some,
and bitter to others.
36. This is the Era when you must
understand that all the light belongs to
My Spirit, and all that is life is from
My Divinity, because I am the arcane:
the source and the beginning of all
creation.
37. These disputes between the
spiritual and the scientific will
disappear from mankind, so much so,
that spirituality and science will unite
in one single light to illuminate the
path of man to the infinite. (233, 25 -
34)
The Hardness and Injustice of
earthly Judiciary
38. I have come to nullify your
erroneous laws so that you will be
governed only by those that are
formed by My precepts and are in
agreement with My wisdom. My laws
are of love, and on proceeding from
Chapter 49 - Religion and Justice on Earth
419
My Divinity, they are unalterable and
eternal, while yours are temporary and
at times cruel and selfish.
39. The Law of the Father is of love,
of goodness; it is like a balsam which
gives comfort and strength to the
sinner, so He can bear the restitution
for his faults. The Father's Law of
love always offers a generous
opportunity to the delinquent to
regenerate himself, while your laws,
on the contrary, humiliate and punish
the wrongdoer, and many times the
innocent and the weak.
40. In your justice there is hardness,
vengeance, and lack of mercy. The
Law of Christ is of gentle persuasion,
of infinite justice and supreme
uprightness. You yourselves are your
judges, on the other hand I am your
tireless defender; but it is necessary
for you to know that there exist two
ways of atoning for your offenses: one
is through love and the other through
pain.
41. You choose, for you still enjoy
the gift of freedom of will. (17, 46 -
48)
42. I am the Divine Judge; I do not
apply sentences greater than the
crime. I find clean many of those who
accuse themselves before Me, but
there are many that proclaim their
cleanliness who I find depraved and
guilty.
43. Oh, how unjust is human Justice!
How many victims of bad judges are
atoning for the crimes of others? How
many innocents have seen the bars of
prison close before their eyes, while
the guilty walks free bearing his
invisible burden of robbery and
crime? (135, 2 - 3)
44. Because human justice is
imperfect, your prisons are full of
victims, and your gallows stained with
the blood of the innocent. How many
criminals do I see enjoying liberty and
the respect of the world, and to how
many of the depraved have you raised
monuments in reverence to their
memory?
45. If you could only see those
beings, when having come to dwell in
the spiritual vale, the light comes to
their spirits! Instead of useless and
senseless eulogies, you would send
them prayers to console them in their
remorse. (159, 44 - 45)
The Arrogant self-righteous Justice
of Man
46. May love be what guides you, so
that you may become true messengers
of the Divine Comforter, for you, who
have never tumbled into an abyss, are
always blaming, always judging
superficially and condemning your
fellow men without any pity; and that
is not My Doctrine.
47. If, before judging, you looked
closely at yourselves and your defects,
I assure you your judgment would be
more merciful. You consider those in
jails to be evil, and hold those in
hospitals to be unlucky. You keep
yourself apart from them without
realizing that they are worthy of
entering the Kingdom of My love, and
you do not wish to consider that they
Chapter 49 - Religion and Justice on Earth
420
also have the right to receive the rays
of the sun, which was made to give
life and warmth to all creatures
without exception.
48. Many of these beings confined in
places of atonement are mirrors into
which humanity does not wish to
look, for it knows that what these
mirrors reflect will many times be an
accusation. (149, 51 - 53)
Earthly Justice as a Necessary Evil
49. The justice established on earth
does not act justly; I can see its lack
of charity, its lack of understanding,
and its hardness of heart. And yet,
each shall receive perfect justice.
50. I have permitted these trials, and
as long as humanity does not comply
with My laws, as long as they do not
fulfill its requirements, on the earth
there shall be those who subjugate
their hearts, who hurt them.
51. If you would comply, there
would be no need for judges in this
world, there would be no punishment,
you would need no government; each
would know how to govern his own
actions and all would be governed by
Me. All of you would be inspired by
My laws, and your actions would be
always beneficent, striving for
spirituality and love.
52. However, humanity has fallen to
great depths of immorality and vice;
sin has been made the owner of the
hearts of men, and hence the
consequences. You must drain the
cups of bitterness and bear the
humiliations heaped upon you by
those of your brothers who have
power on earth.
53. Be humble, however, and bear
their judgments with patience;
remember that I am the perfect judge.
(341, 5)
My peace be with you !
421
Chapter 50 - Culture and Science
The Pride and Vanity of Knowledge
1. I ask the men of this time, who
consider themselves to be the most
advanced in history of the world.
Have you not found, with all your
talent, a way to make peace, to
achieve power, and obtain wealth that
does not mean killing, destroying, or
enslaving your fellow men? Do you
believe that your advancement is true
and real when, morally, you are
dragging yourselves through the mud,
and spiritually wandering in shadows?
I do not fight with science, since I
inspired it in man; what I censure is
the purpose to which you sometimes
put it.
2. Humanity, daughter of light, open
your eyes; see that you are living in
the Era of the Spirit!
3. Why have you forgotten Me, and
why have you wanted to compare
your power with mine? I tell you that
the day some scholar with his science
forms a being in your image and
bestows upon him both spirit and
conscience, I will put My scepter in
his hands. Your harvest, for now
however, shall be different.
4. Why have there always been, as
there are now, men, who having
learned human science with the
faculties given them by their Creator,
use them to struggle against or
repudiate the Divine science? The
answer is that their vanity does not
permit them to enter the arcane of the
Lord with humility and respect, so
instead they seek thrones and other
objectives in this world. (154, 27)
5. Nowadays, men feel themselves to
be great; they exalt their own
character, and are embarrassed to
proclaim God, calling Him by other
names so as not to compromise their
pride or bring themselves down from
their own pedestals. That is why they
call Me: "the cosmic intelligence" or
"the architect of the universe," but I
taught you to say "My Father" or "Our
Father" in the Second Era. Why do
men believe calling Me "Father"
lowers them or diminishes their
stature? (147, 7)
6. How far men have fallen in their
materialism, coming even to deny the
one who created all. How has the
human mind been able to confuse
itself so? How has your science been
able to deny Me and profane life and
nature? How?
7. I am in every creation your
science discovers, and in every work
My law manifests itself and My voice
is heard. How can these men not feel,
see, or hear it? Is it by chance a proof
of your advancement and civilization
to deny My existence and My love
and justice? You are not, then, more
advanced than the primitive men who
knew how to find in every element
and every wonder of nature the work
of a wise, just, and powerful Divine
being to whom they attributed all the
Chapter 50 - Culture and Science
422
good in existence; and whom they
worshiped for it. (175, 72 - 73)
8. I have come again to give men My
word so they know they are not alone,
so that they awaken to the voice of
their consciences, and know that after
this life, great Divine wonders await
their spirits.
9. I have spoken to men about those
wonders, and it is verified by He who
knows how to pray to put himself in
contact with the spiritual, just as it is
by He who through science looks
deeply at the Mysteries of nature. By
those two paths, the mind, and the
spirit, find more, the more they seek.
10. Yet, when will man's study and
research be inspired by love? Only
then will his works in the world be
solid; for as long as ambition, pride,
materialism, and hatred are the
motives of science. Men will continue
to be called to account by the
unleashed elements punishing their
recklessness.
11. How many there are who are
puffed up by evil, pride, and vanities!
How many there are who have fitted
themselves with crowns while being
naked and miserable in spirit. How
great the contrast between My truth
and what you believe to be your truth.
(277, 31 - 32, 36)
The Consequences of Materialist
Reasoning
12. If men would feel a true love
toward their brethren, they would not
have to suffer the chaos in which they
find themselves, everything around
them would be harmonious and
peaceful; but they do not understand
that Divine love, and they want only
the truth which reaches the mind, not
the one which reaches the heart, and
there they have the result of their
materialism: a humanity that is
egotistical, false and filled with
bitterness. (14, 42)
13. Do not become vain with the
fruits of your science, for now while
so much progress has been made
through it, is when humanity suffers
most, when there is more misery,
unrest, illness and destructive wars.
14. Man still has not discovered the
true science, that which is gained
through the path of love.
15. Behold how vanity has blinded
you; each nation wants to have the
greatest wise men on earth. Truly I
say to you that the scientists have not
penetrated deeply into the secrets of
the Lord. I can say to you that the
knowledge that man has of life is still
superficial. (22, 16 - 18)
16. What is it that you desire most
on earth during these moments?
Peace, health and truth. Truly I say to
you that these gifts will not be given
to you by your science as you had
imagined it.
17. Wise men question Nature and
she answers each question; but there
are not always noble purposes, good
feelings, or charity behind these
questions. Men are the small and
foolish, who tear from the mother her
secrets and profane her intimacy, not
Chapter 50 - Culture and Science
423
with the purpose of honoring her,
taking from her fountains the
elements to do good toward one
another, as true brethren, but with
egotistical purposes and sometimes
evil.
18. All of Creation speaks to them
about Me and its voice is of love, but
how few have been able to listen and
understand that language!
19. If you consider that Creation is a
temple where I dwell, do you not fear
that Jesus will appear there wielding a
whip to drive out the traders and those
who profane it? (26, 34 37)
20. I revealed to man the gift of
science that is light, and with it man
has created darkness and has caused
pain and destruction.
21. Men judge themselves to be in
the pinnacle of human progress; and
so I ask them: Do you have peace on
earth? Does there exist fraternity
among men, morality and virtue in the
homes? Do you respect the life of
your fellowmen? Do you have any
consideration for the weak? Verily I
say to you that if these virtues existed
in you, you would possess the most
elevated values of human existence.
22. There exists confusion among
mankind; for you have put those who
have lead you to the abyss up on
pedestals. For that reason, do not ask
why I have come among men, nor
judge the reason why I am
communicating through the channel
of sinners and the ignorant, because
not everything that you judge as
imperfect, is so. (59, 52 - 54)
23. The wise man seeks the cause of
all that happens and all that exists, and
hopes to demonstrate with his science
that no truth and no principle exists
outside of Nature. But I see these men
as petty, weak, and ignorant. (144, 92)
24. The men of science, full of
vanity, have come to consider the
Divine revelations as unworthy of
attention. They do not wish to ascend
spiritually to God, and when they find
something they cannot understand,
they deny it so they will not need to
confess their inability and their
ignorance. Many of them do not want
to believe in anything they cannot
prove.
25. What comfort can these men
carry to the hearts of their fellows,
when they do not recognize the
principle of love, which is what
governs Creation, and do not know
the spiritual meaning of life. (163, 17
- 18)
26. Oh, how much humanity has
departed from My teachings! All in it
is superficial, false, outward, and
ostentatious. That is why its spiritual
power is null and in order to make up
for their lack of strength and
development of the spirit, they have
thrown themselves into the arms of
science, developing their intelligence.
27. Thus, through science, man has
come to feel strong, great, and
powerful; but I tell you that that
strength and greatness are
insignificant next to the power of the
Chapter 50 - Culture and Science
424
spirit, which you have not allowed to
grow or manifest. (275, 46 - 47)
28. Every day now you are eating
the bitter fruits of the tree of science,
so imperfectly cultivated by men,
because you have not sought the
harmonious development of your
faculties. How, after all, could you
channel your works and discoveries
into the path of goodness when you
have developed only your
intelligence, and have left your spirit
and heart abandoned?
29. So there you have men,
resembling the beasts, giving
complete free reign to their passions,
feeling hatred for their fellows,
thirsting for blood, and pretending to
turn their fellow peoples into slaves.
30. If any believe that My Doctrine
might cause the moral fall of man,
truly I must tell you that you err
greatly; to prove this to the skeptics
and the arrogant of this time, I will
allow them to harvest the fruits of
their science, and to eat of it until they
have had their fill, until a confession
arises from their spirits, saying,
"Father, forgive us. Only your power
can halt the forces that we have
recklessly unleashed." (282, 15 - 17)
31. Human science has reached the
limit to which man can take it with his
materialism, but when inspired by the
spiritual idea of love, goodness, and
perfection, science can go much
further than it already has.
32. The proof that your scientific
progress has not had the love of one
another as its motive, is the moral
degeneration of the peoples, the
fratricidal wars, and the hunger and
misery that reign everywhere: it is
ignorance of the spiritual. (315, 53 -
54)
33. What do you want me to say
about your wise men of today, those
who provoke nature and defy the
forces and elements making the good
appear bad? There shall be great pain
for having picked and eaten the unripe
fruit of the tree of science, when it
could have matured with only love.
(263. 26)
34. If humanity is not in harmony
with the universal law that governs all
creation, there shall come a lack of
control that manifests itself in the
force of the elements.
35. Man has dismantled the atoms,
and his evolved brain takes advantage
of that discovery to obtain greater
power and cause death.
36. If man had evolved spiritually in
step with his science and intellect, He
would have taken advantage of the
discovery of new elements for the
benefit of mankind, but his spiritual
backwardness is great; his selfish
mentality has channeled his creative
force to the detriment of mankind: to
the use of elements of destruction,
leaving behind the principles of love
and justice taught by Jesus. And so,
when you see the fire rain from the
sky, it shall not be that the heavens
have opened, nor that the sun tortures
Chapter 50 - Culture and Science
425
you, but the work of man spreading
death and destruction. (363, 23 - 25)
37. The peoples advance, growing
ever more in scientific knowledge.
Yet, I ask: What wisdom is this, that
the more man penetrates, the further
He is from the spiritual truth where
the source and origin of life are found.
38. It is human science: wisdom as
conceived of in a world sick with
selfishness and materialism.
39. And so that knowledge is false,
and that science evil, because with it
you have created a world of pain. In
place of light, it is darkness, for it is
pushing the peoples toward
destruction.
40. Science is light, light is life,
strength, health, and peace. And are
those things the results brought about
by your science? No, humanity, and
that is why I tell you, that while you
do not permit the light of the
conscience to penetrate the darkness
of your understanding, your works
will never hold an elevated, or
spiritual principle, and shall never be
more than human works. (358, 31 -
34)
41. The doctors shall also be called. I
will ask them what have they done
with the secrets of health, which I
revealed to them and the balsam that I
entrusted to them; I will ask if they
have truly felt the suffering of others,
if they have learned to descend to the
most humble bed to heal with love the
one who suffers. What will be the
response of those who have attained
greatness, comfort and luxury through
the suffering of their fellow men, a
pain that they were not always able to
relieve? All of them will question
themselves within their heart and
before the light of their conscience
they will have to answer to Me. (63,
62)
42. Many of those who are
spiritually dead must wander
throughout the world awaiting
physical death to arrive before My
presence. They will then hear the
voice of the Lord that will caress them
and help them to arise to the true life!
What hope for salvation could they
have had on earth if they believed that
their sins were unforgivable and that
they would be eternally lost even
though they felt that they could truly
repent and make restitution for their
sins?
43. Spiritual beings who had lost all
hope for salvation have arrived before
My presence, as have other beings
who have been sentenced to death on
earth by men of science. I, who
possess life, have saved those beings
from their physical death. There are
individuals on earth to whom I have
entrusted the spiritual and physical
well - being of all people. What are
those individuals doing? Are they
simply ignoring the high destiny that
the Lord has entrusted to them to
fulfill? Must I, who sent them with a
message of health and life to earth,
continually receive their victims? (54,
13 - 14)
Chapter 50 - Culture and Science
426
The Inspiration of Scientific
Knowledge by God and the
Spiritual World
44. If the men of science who move
and transform your world were
inspired by love and righteousness,
they would already have discovered
how much enlightenment I have
reserved for the science of this Era
and not that little bit for which they
have shown so much vanity.
45. Solomon was known as a wise
man because his judgments, his
counsel and his decisions were
clothed with wisdom, and his fame
crossed the frontiers of his kingdom,
thus reaching other countries.
46. Although He was a king, that
man knelt humbly before the Father,
asking for wisdom, power and
protection, recognizing that He was
only My servant, and before Me He
placed his scepter and his crown. If all
wise men and scientists would do it
thus, how great their knowledge
would be, and how many teachings
would My secret Sanctuary, yet
unknown, reveal to them! (1, 57 - 59)
47. Ask your wise men and if they
are sincere they will tell you that they
have asked God for inspiration. And I
would give them more inspiration if
they would request it with greater love
for their brethren and less vanity for
themselves.
48. Truly I say to you that all true
knowledge that you have
accumulated, comes from Me, all that
is pure and elevated I will use during
this period for your benefit, for I have
granted it to you for that purpose. (17,
59 - 60)
49. The spirit of men has evolved,
that is why his science has progressed;
I have permitted him to learn and
discover what He ignored yesterday,
but He should not dedicate himself
only to material tasks; I have granted
him that light so that He may work for
his peace and happiness in the
spiritual existence which awaits him.
(15, 22)
50. If you have used some of your
sciences to analyze and judge Me,
would it not seem more reasonable to
use them to analyze yourselves until
you know your essence and your
materialism? By chance, do you
believe that your Father cannot help
you along the path of your good
science? Truly I say that if you were
able to feel the essence of the Divine
love, knowledge would easily reach
your understanding without tiring
your mind or exhausting yourselves
with the study of subjects which you
think are profound and which are truly
within your capability. (14, 44)
51. There is found, in the great
works of humans, the influence and
labor of higher spiritual beings who
work and vibrate continuously in
men's understanding, inspiring and
revealing the unknown to their
incarnated brothers.
52. That is why at all times, I will
say to the scholars and scientists: You
cannot boast of that which you
Chapter 50 - Culture and Science
427
understand or accomplish, because it
is not your work alone. Many times
you serve only as the instrument of
those spirits that I mentioned to you.
Has not the reach of your discoveries
often surprised you? Have you not
confessed to yourself that you are
unable or incompetent even to attempt
the things you have already achieved?
Here is your answer, so why do you
puff yourselves up? Understand that
your labor is guided by higher beings,
and do not deviate from their
inspirations, because they always lead
to good. (182, 21 - 22)
53. Why, when humanity has
witnessed the development of science
and has seen discoveries which it
would not have believed before, does
it resist believing in the evolution of
the spirit? Why is it obstinate in that
which makes it stationary and
lethargic?
54. My Doctrine and My revelations
in these times are in accordance with
your evolution. Let not the scientist be
vain in his material work or his
science, for in it My revelation has
always been present as has the help of
the spiritual world that inspires from
the hereafter.
55. Man is part of Creation, He has a
mission to fulfill, as do all creatures of
the Creator, but He has been given a
spiritual nature, an intelligence, and a
personal will, so that through his
efforts, He can attain the development
and perfection of the spirit, which is
the most elevated thing He possesses.
By means of the spirit, man can
conceive of his Creator, and
understand His benefits, as well as
admire His wisdom.
56. If instead of being made
conceited by your earthly knowledge,
you would identify yourselves with all
My Work, there would exist for you
no Mysteries, you would recognize
yourselves as brethren, and you would
love one another as I love you: in you
there would be kindness, charity, love,
and therefore, union with the Father.
(23, 5 - 7)
Recognition of Scientists who work
for the Good of Humanity
57. Human science is the
materialized expression of the
spiritual capacity that man has
reached in this time. The work of men
in this time is not the product of their
minds alone, but also of their spiritual
evolution. (106, 6)
58. Material science has revealed
many Mysteries to you; never expect,
however, that it will reveal to you all
that you should know. The science of
the men of these times also had its
prophets whom humanity mocked and
judged as mad, but who astounded
you when their predictions were
fulfilled. (97, 19)
59. I do not disown the men of
science, since I gave them the mission
they fulfill, but many of them have
lacked the prayer, the charity, and the
elevation of the spirit necessary to be
the true intellectual leaders of
humanity. (112, 25)
Chapter 50 - Culture and Science
428
60. Today, man has extended his
territories, ruling and traveling
throughout the world. No continent,
land, or sea exists that has not been
explored. He has made pathways
through the land, the sea, and the air.
However, He is not satisfied with his
inheritance on earth, and now studies
and explores the heavens in search of
greater domains.
61. I bless My children's desire for
new knowledge. Their ambition to be
wise, great, and strong greatly pleases
Me, but I do not approve of their
ambitions nor of their sometimes
selfish goals. (175, 7 - 8)
62. I have endowed men with the
intelligence that permits him to
examine the make up of nature as well
as its manifestation; I have permitted
him to behold a part of the Universe,
and to feel the manifestations of the
spiritual world.
63. My Doctrine, therefore, does not
stagnate the spirit, nor does it halt the
evolution of man, on the contrary, it
frees them and enlightens them so that
they may analyze, reason, investigate,
and work. However, what man
believes to be the pinnacle of his
intellectual research is barely the
beginning. (304, 6)
My peace be with you !
429
Chapter 51 - The Powerful; Abuses of Power and Wars
The Fleeting Delirium of Power and
earthly Greatness
1. It is I who place the trials in your
path to restrain your spirit when it
distances itself from the path of My
Law to live subject only to its free
will. Examine the trials carefully, I
permit it of you, that you may prove
to yourselves that each of them is like
a chisel that shapes your heart. That is
one reason why pain brings you closer
to Me.
2. Man has always sought pleasures,
and has always pursued the power and
greatness to make himself lord on
earth and king over his own brothers.
3. If I have always created all of you
with the same love, why have there
always been those who attempted to
be superior to others? Why have there
always been those who drive
humanity by humiliation and the
whip? Why are there those who
repudiate the humble and whose
hearts are not moved by the suffering
they inflict on their fellow men? It is
because these are spirits that have not
yet recognized Me as only owner of
all that exists, the Father who loves all
his creatures.
4. That is why there are men who do
not recognize, and who usurp, the
sacred rights of men. They act as My
instruments of justice, and believing
themselves lords and kings, are only
servants; forgive them. (95, 7 - 8)
5. Behold the monarchs and the lords
of the earth: How brief is their reign
and their glory. Today they are raised
up by their people, and tomorrow are
thrown from their thrones.
6. Do not, any of you, seek your
thrones in this life, for believing
yourselves to advance, you shall be
halted, and your destiny is to go
forward without stopping until you
come to the gates of My Kingdom.
(124, 31)
7. I tell you truly, that the day of
those now powerful shall end, to give
way to those who are great, strong,
powerful, and wise through the love
and charity they hold for their fellow
men. (128, 50)
8. Those men who today feed only
on ambitions of power and earthly
greatness know that their most
powerful eneMy is spirituality. That is
why they fight it, and when they
anticipate the struggle that now grows
close, that of the spirit against evil,
they fear to lose their possessions and
therefore resist the light that surprises
them at every step in the form of
inspirations. (321, 12)
9. How needy are those who arrive
at My celestial door having been great
and powerful on earth! For they had
forgotten the spiritual gems and the
road of eternal life. While the truth of
My Kingdom is revealed to the
humble, it is hidden from the wise and
educated, for they would do with
spiritual wisdom what they have done
Chapter 51 - The Powerful; Abuses of Power and Wars
430
with material science, which is to
seek, in that light, thrones for their
vanity and weapons for their wars.
(238, 68)
The Arrogant Exercise of Power
over Persons and Nations
10. Behold those men who lead
peoples, creating doctrines and
imposing them on men, each
preaching the superiority of his own
doctrine. Yet, I ask, what has been the
fruit of all of them: War, with its
accompanying misery, suffering,
death, and destruction. That has been
the harvest that the apostles of such
theories have gathered on earth.
11. Behold that I have not
counteracted humanity's free will,
though I can tell you that the
conscience, above it, speaks
unceasingly to the heart that departs
from justice, charity, or reason. (106,
11)
12. If Christ were to return as man in
this time, He would not again say as
on Calvary, "Father, forgive them, for
they know not what they do." For you
now receive the full light of the
conscience, and your spirits have
evolved much. Who does not know
that I am the giver of life, and that
therefore none may take that of their
brother? As man cannot give
existence, neither is He authorized to
take what He cannot repay.
13. Humanity: Do you believe you
are complying with My law because
you say you have religion and comply
with the outward forms of worship? In
the law you were told: "Thou Shall
Not Kill." You profane this
commandment spilling in torrents the
blood of your brothers upon the altar
of your sin. (119, 27 - 28)
14. I propose peace to the world, but
the arrogance of nations puffed - up in
their false power and false splendor
rejects the call of conscience,
allowing them to be dragged about by
their ambitions and their hatreds.
15. Man does not yet incline toward
the good, toward justice, and toward
reason; men still rise up to judge the
causes of their fellows; they still
believe they can do justice. Do you
not believe that instead of judges, they
should be called executioners and
assassins?
16. The men of power have forgotten
that there exists an owner of all lives,
and they take the lives of their fellows
as though they were their property.
The multitudes clamor for bread,
justice, a home, and clothing. I shall
do justice, not men, nor their
doctrines. (151, 70 - 72)
17. Blessed people: These men who
arise full of greatness and prominence
among the nations and peoples of the
earth are great spirits invested with
power and bearers of great missions.
18. They are not in service to My
Divinity, they have not placed their
greatness or their gifts in the service
of love and charity; they have formed
their world, their law, their throne,
their vassals, their dominions, and all
that they might desire.
Chapter 51 - The Powerful; Abuses of Power and Wars
431
19. Yet, when they feel their thrones
tremble amidst the trials, when they
feel the invasion of a powerful eneMy
near, or when they see their wealth or
their names in danger, they rise up
with all their strength, full of [false]
greatness, earthly vanity, hatred, and
ill will, and launch themselves at their
eneMy, giving no thought that their
works, or their ideas, leave behind
only the tracks of pain, destruction,
and evil. They seek only the
destruction of the eneMy and the
erection of a greater throne that give
them greater dominion over the
peoples and their riches, over the
daily sustenance and the very lives of
men. (219, 25)
20. It is already no longer the time
when kingdoms should exist on earth
or that strong peoples humiliate the
weak; nonetheless, they exist as proof
that in man the primitive tendency to
take by force from the weak and
conquer by means of violence still
prevail. (271, 58)
21. How far men are from
understanding the spiritual peace that
shall reign in the world! They attempt
to impose it through force and threats,
which are the fruit of the science they
boast of.
22. It is not that I come to disown, or
to oppose the advances of humanity,
for they are also a proof of spiritual
evolution, but I do warn you that your
boasts of earthly strength and power
are not pleasing to Me, because by
them, instead of lightening the cross
of humanity, you outrage the most
sacred principles, attempt against
lives that do not belong to you, and
sow pain, tears, mourning, and blood
instead of peace, health and well -
being. Why, given that the source
from which you take your science
which is My own Creation, and is an
inexhaustible well of love, wisdom,
health, and life, do your works
manifest the opposite?
23. As I said in the second Era, I
wish equality to reign among My
peoples, but not as conceived of by
materialized men. I inspire the
equality of love, making you
understand that all of you are
brothers, the children of God. (246, 61
- 63)
Reflections on the Second World
War
24. These are times of testing, of
afflictions and bitterness, times in
which mankind suffers the
consequences of so much hatred and
ill will toward one another.
25. Behold the battlefields where
only the sound of firearms and
anguished cries of the wounded are
heard, mountains of mutilated corpses
who only yesterday were bodies of
strong young men. Can you imagine
these, when for the last time they
embraced their mother, their wife or
their child? Who, if He has not drunk
from that bitter cup can imagine the
pain of those farewells?
26. Thousands and thousands of
anguished parents, wives and children
have seen their loved ones depart for
Chapter 51 - The Powerful; Abuses of Power and Wars
432
the fields of battle, of hate and of
vengeance, forced by the greed and
pride of some few men without light
and without love for their fellowmen.
27. Those legions of strong young
men have not returned home, because
destroyed, they remained on the
fields. Behold, the earth, mother earth,
more merciful than those men who
govern the peoples and believe
themselves master of the lives of their
fellowmen, has opened her bosom
lovingly to receive and cover them.
(9, 63 - 66)
28. My Spirit keeps vigil over every
being, and I am watchful even to the
last of your thoughts.
29. Truly I say to you that there
among the armies who fight for
earthly ideals and ambitions, I have
discovered during their moments of
rest, men of peace and good will who
have been made into soldiers by force.
From their heart escapes a sigh when
My name emerges from their lips and
the tears run down their cheeks with
the memory of their loved ones:
parents, wives, children or brothers.
Then their spirit, without any other
temple than the sanctuary of their
faith, without any altar other than
their love, without any light other than
that of their spirit elevates itself
before Me asking forgiveness for the
deaths it has unintentionally caused
with its weapons. They seek Me to
ask with all the strength of their being
to permit them to return to their home
or that, at least, if they are to fall
under the attack of the eneMy, to
cover with My mantle of mercy those
whom they leave on earth.
30. To all those who seek My
forgiveness in that manner, I give My
blessing for they are not the ones to
blame for killing, others are the
assassins, the ones who will answer to
Me for what they have done with
human lives, once the moment of their
judgment arrives.
31. Many of them who love peace,
ask themselves why I have permitted
them to be taken to the very fields of
battle and death, to which I say to you
that if their human understanding is
not able to comprehend the reason
that underlies all this, their spirit on
the other hand, knows that it is
fulfilling a restitution. (22, 52 - 55)
32. I ask those who follow me to
pray for world peace and to watch
over the peace on earth. Nations will
soon elevate their prayers to ask me
for the peace which I have always
proposed to them.
33. I have permitted mankind to first
taste the fruit of what they have
sowed. I want them to observe the
human suffering that exists on earth,
the rivers of human blood that has
been shed, the mountains of cadavers
that exist, and the cities that have been
destroyed. I have wanted men with
hardened hearts to see the desolation
in homes, the desperation among the
innocent, and mothers who, driven
mad by pain, kiss the dismantled
bodies of their children. I want those
individuals to become fully aware of
the anguish, sorrow, and desperation
Chapter 51 - The Powerful; Abuses of Power and Wars
433
that exists among humanity so they
might feel humiliation due to their
arrogance. I want them to hear their
consciences so they can become
aware that their grandeur, power, and
wisdom is a lie, and what is truly
great only comes from the Divine
Spirit.
34. When these men open their eyes
to the truth, they will become
horrified, not of the scenes they
observed with their eyes, but of
themselves. And unable to run away
from the stare and the voice of their
conscience, they will feel that they are
in a state of darkness, burning with
remorse, for they will have to account
for each life, every bit of pain, and
every last drop of blood which was
shed because of them. (52, 40)
35. Step by step, men advance to the
valley where they shall be gathered
for judgment.
36. Still those who make war and
whose hands are covered with the
blood of their brothers dare to speak
My name. Are these, by chance, the
fruit and flower of the doctrine I have
taught you? Did you not learn from
Jesus how He forgave and blessed
those who offended him, and how He
died giving life to his executioners?
37. Men have doubted My word and
lacked faith; that is why they have
entrusted all to their own strength. I
have allowed them to be deceived by
the fruit they harvest from their own
works, for only in this way will they
open their eyes to see the truth. (119,
31 - 33)
The Despicable Nature and
Senselessness of Wars
38. It is time for love, forgiveness,
and humility to appear in the heart of
humanity as true weapons to oppose
hatred and pride. If men, filled with
pride and hatred, continue to clash
with one another, villages and nations
will be destroyed, and there will be no
peace in the hearts of men.
39. Humanity refuses to recognize
that only by living in peace will it find
true happiness and be able to
progress. Thus, it continues to pursue
material power and false greatness,
shedding the blood of its brothers,
destroying lives, and destroying the
faith of mankind. (39, 29 - 30)
40. The year 1945 took with it the
last shadows of war; the sickle reaped
millions of lives and millions of
spirits returned to the spiritual valley.
Science astonished the world and its
destructive weapons made the earth
tremble. Those who triumphed
became the judges and executioners
of the defeated. Pain, misery, and
hunger expanded, leaving a trail of
widows, orphans, and cold in its
wake. The plagues advanced from
land to land and even the elements
have made heard their voice of justice
and reproach at so much evil. A
mantle of destruction, death, and
desolation is the wake that men who
say they are civilized have left the
planet. This is the harvest that
humanity offers me but I ask, is this
harvest worthy of My granary? Does
the fruit of your evil deserve to be
Chapter 51 - The Powerful; Abuses of Power and Wars
434
received by your Father? I tell you
truly that this tree is very different
from that which you would have sown
complying with that Divine
commandment that orders you to love
one another. (145, 29)
41. When will you achieve the peace
of the spirit if you have not yet
achieved peace in your hearts? I tell
you that while the last killing weapon
has not been destroyed, there shall be
no peace among men. Killing
weapons are those with which men
take lives, murder morality, deprive
freedom, damage health, disturb
peace, or destroy faith. (119, 53)
42. I shall prove to humanity that
their problems are not resolved by
force, and that as long as they make
use of weapons of death and
destruction, no matter how strong and
terrible those seem, they shall not be
able to make peace between men. On
the contrary, they shall bring as their
consequence greater hatred and desire
for revenge. Only the conscience,
reason, and the sentiment of charity
can be the foundations upon which an
Era of peace can be built. But so that
this light can shine in men, it is
necessary that they first drink the cup
of bitterness to the last drop. (160, 65)
43. If the hearts of men were not so
hardened, the pain of war would have
been enough to make them reflect on
their errors and returned them to the
path of light; but they bear still the
bitter memory of the butchery of
humans, and prepare already for
another war.
44. How could you believe that I, the
Father, the Divine Love, would be
capable of punishing you through
war? Do you believe that He who
loves you with perfect love, and who
wishes you to love one another, could
inspire in you such crime, fratricide,
death, vengeance, and destruction? Do
you not understand that all of these
are due to the materialism that
humanity has accumulated in its
heart? (174, 50 - 51)
45. From the beginning, I made man
free, but his freedom has been
accompanied always by the light of
the conscience. In spite of this, He has
ignored the voice of his inner judge,
distancing himself from the path of
the law to the point of causing
monstrous and bloody fratricidal wars
in which the sons rise against the
Father because they have left behind
all feelings of humanity, charity,
respect, and spirituality.
46. Men should already be fleeing
from the destruction and the wars and
avoid paying a painful restitution.
Understand that if they do not manage
to purify themselves in goodness
before coming to Me, I shall have to
send them again to that vale of blood
and tears, for He who walks away
from perfection can not come to Me.
(188, 6 - 7)
47. Not all men are found at the
same level of understanding: while
some marvel at each step, others see
Chapter 51 - The Powerful; Abuses of Power and Wars
435
everything as flawed; while some
dream of peace as the height of
spirituality and morality for the world,
others proclaim that it is wars that
cause men to evolve.
48. About this, I tell you: War is not
necessary for the evolution of the
world. If men use war for ambitious
and selfish ends, it is because of the
materialism of those who promote
those wars. Among them are those
who believe only in the existence of
this world, for they do not know, or
they deny, the existence of the
spiritual life, and yet are held as wise
by Humanity; that is why it is
necessary that this revelation be
known by all. (227, 69 - 70)
My peace be with you !
436
437
Chapter 52 - The Injustice and Decay of Humanity
The Oppression and Exploitation of
the Weak by the Powerful
1. If men would understand that the
earth has been created for all, and
would learn to share in a just way
with their brethren all the material and
spiritual treasures with which their
existence is sowed, truly I say that
here on earth you would begin to feel
the peace of the spiritual Kingdom.
(12, 71)
2. Do you not believe that the
division of humanity into peoples and
races is rather primitive? Do you think
that if your progress in your
civilization, of which you are so
proud, were real, the law of force and
wickedness would not still be
prevalent, but instead all the deeds of
your existence would be guided by the
light of your conscience? And you,
My people, do not put yourselves
above this judgment, for also among
you I discover conflicts and
differences. (24, 72)
3. Keep in mind the example of
Israel which history speaks of, when
they had to wander in the desert for so
long; they struggled to flee the
captivity and idolatry of Egypt, but
also to reach a land of peace and
freedom.
4. Today, all humanity is like that
people made captive by the Pharaoh:
beliefs, doctrines, and laws are
imposed on men; the majority of the
nations are slaves of other stronger
ones; the hard struggle and forced
work under the whips of hunger and
humiliation are the bitter bread now
eaten by a great portion of humanity.
5. Because of all this, a desire for
liberation, for peace, and for a better
life is growing in the hearts of men.
(115, 41 - 43)
6. This world, which should be the
home of a single family that includes
all mankind, is the precinct of discord,
and the cause of absurd ambitions,
treason, and war. This life, which
should be made use of for study, for
meditation, and for an effort to reach
eternal life through the use of its
trials, its lessons, and the benefits it
gives to the spirit, is misunderstood
by humanity, allowing its heart to be
poisoned by rebellion, bitterness,
materialism, and dissent. (116, 53)
7. Poor peoples of earth, some
enslaved, others humiliated, and the
rest robbed by their own leaders and
representatives!
8. Your hearts already do not love
those who rule you on earth, for your
trust has been betrayed. You no
longer have confidence in the justice
or magnanimity of your judges, and
no longer believe in their promises,
their words, nor their smiles. You
have seen that hypocrisy has taken
over their hearts and established on
earth its reign of lies, falsehoods, and
trickery.
Chapter 52 - The Injustice and Decay of Humanity
438
9. Poor peoples, who bear the labor
upon their shoulders like an
unsupportable burden. That work is
no longer that which was blessed by
law, and by which man obtained that
which was necessary for his
subsistence, but has become a
desperate and anguished struggle for
life. And what do men obtain in
exchange for giving their labor and
their lives? A crust of bread and a cup
of bitterness.
10. Truly I tell you, this is not the
sustenance which I deposited on the
earth for your enjoyment and
protection; this is the bread of discord,
of vanities, of inhuman sentiments.
Finally, it is the proof of the little or
no spiritual elevation of those who
lead you in human life.
11. I see you strike the bread from
each others hands, that the ambitious
cannot bear to see that others posses
anything, for they wish it all for
themselves; I see the strong take the
bread of the weak, and these settle for
watching the strong eat and enjoy.
12. I ask then: Where is the moral
advancement of this humanity? Where
is the development of their most noble
sentiments?
13. Truly, in the age when men lived
in caves and covered themselves with
the skins of beasts, then also they
struck the morsels of food from the
mouths of their fellows, then too the
strong took the greater portion, then
too were the efforts of the weak taken
for the use of those who ruled by
force, and then too men killed men,
tribes killed tribes, and people killed
peoples.
14. Where is the difference between
the humanity of now, and that of those
days?
15. Yes, I know you will tell Me
there have been many advances. I
know you will speak of your
civilization and your science. I tell
you: All of these are the mask of
hypocrisy, behind which you hide the
truth of your sentiments and impulses,
which are still primitive because you
have not bothered even a little to
develop your spirits in compliance
with My Law.
16. I do not tell you not to explore
science; on the contrary: explore,
analyze, grow and multiply in
knowledge and intelligence within
material life, but have charity toward
one another; respect the sacred rights
of your fellow men, understand that
there is no law that authorizes any
man to dispose of the life of his
brother; in summary, humanity, do
something to apply My highest
commandment: "Love one another" to
your lives, so that you may finally be
freed from that moral and spiritual
morass into which you have sunk.
When that veil of lies that has covered
your faces falls, your light will pour
out, sincerity will shine from you, and
the truth shall be established in your
lives; that is when you will be able to
say you have progressed.
17. Strengthen yourselves in the
practice of My teachings so that in the
future your words may be always
supported by deeds of true charity,
Chapter 52 - The Injustice and Decay of Humanity
439
wisdom, and brotherhood. (325, 10 -
20)
18. I send you My peace, but truly I
tell you, while there exist men who
have all they need, but who forget
about those who are dying of hunger,
there shall be no peace on earth.
19. Peace does not lie in human
greatness, nor in riches. It is in
goodwill, in loving one another, in
serving and respecting others. Oh, if
only the world understood these
lessons, hatred would disappear and
love would surge in the human heart.
(165, 71 - 72)
The Depravity of Humanity
20. Mankind is stranded in the midst
of a storm of sins and vices. It is not
only when they become adults that
men contaminate their spirits by
allowing the unfolding of their
passions, in their tender childhood
they already see their vessel in danger
of sinking.
21. My word full of revelations
arises in the midst of this humanity,
like an immense beacon which shows
the stranded victims the true route and
encourages hope in those who were
losing their faith. (62, 44)
22. Humanity has multiplied along
with their sins. There is no lack of
cities in the world that are poisoning
hearts as did Sodom and Gomorrah,
whose scandalousness echoed
throughout the world. In spite of the
fact that the inhabitants of those cities
were not hypocrites, for they sinned in
the light of day, not a trace remains of
those sinful cities.
23. Today's humanity, which hides
in the shadows to give reign to their
passions and afterward simulate
rectitude and cleanliness, shall have a
judgment more severe than that of
Sodom.
24. It is the disastrous inheritance of
all past generations that with its
ambitions, vices, and sickness is
bearing fruit in this time; it is the tree
of evil that has grown in the hearts of
men, a tree fertilized by sin, and
whose fruits continue to tempt both
men and women, making new hearts
fall every day.
25. In the shade of that tree are men
and women prostrate without the
strength to free themselves of its
influence; there are to be found the
broken virtues, the stained honors,
and many, many stunted lives.
26. It is not only the adults who run
after the pleasures of the world and
the flesh; the poison accumulated
throughout time has reached
adolescents as well, and even
children. And what do those who have
escaped the baneful influence of evil
do? What do they do for those who
are lost? They judge them, criticize
them, and are scandalized by them.
Few there are, who pray for those who
have lost their way, and fewer yet
who consecrate a part of their lives to
fighting evil.
27. Truly I tell you, My Kingdom
shall not be established among men
while the tree of evil yet lives. It is
necessary to destroy that power, and
Chapter 52 - The Injustice and Decay of Humanity
440
for that it is necessary to have the only
weapon that sin cannot resist: the
sword of love and justice. Understand
that it shall not be the judgments or
the punishments, but rather the love,
the forgiveness, and the charity: the
essence of My doctrine will be the
light that illuminates your path, and
the teaching that leads mankind
toward salvation. (108, 10 - 14)
28. Your materialism has made the
Eden entrusted to man into an inferno.
29. False is the life men lead, false
their pleasures, their power, and their
wealth. False too their wisdom and
science.
30. Both rich and poor are worried
about money, whose possession is
deceiving, you worry about pain and
illnesses, and you tremble at the idea
of death. Some fear to lose what they
have and others are anxious to have
what they never possessed. Some
have excess, while others lack. But all
these struggles, passions, needs and
ambitions are only in relation to the
material life, the hunger of the body,
of the lower passions, needs, and
ambitions: of human yearnings, as
though humans really had no spirits.
31. The world and the material have
temporarily defeated the spirit,
beginning by reduce it to slavery and
ending by nullifying its mission in
human life. How can you yourselves
not realize that these hungers, that
misery, and the pain and anguish
which oppress your life, are only the
faithful reflection of the misery and
pain of your spirit. (272, 29 - 32)
32. The world needs My word; the
peoples and nations need My lessons
of love; the leader, the scientist, the
judge, He who guides spirits, He who
teaches all of them need the light of
My truth, and that is exactly why I
came in this Era, to illuminate the
spirits, the hearts, and the
understanding of men. (274, 14)
33. Your planet is not yet a dwelling
of love, peace, or virtue. I send clean
spirits to your world, and you return
them to Me impure, because the lives
of men are saturated with sin and
depravity.
34. I behold the virtues like tiny
lights isolated among the spirits,
battered by the winds of selfishness,
resentments, and hatred; these are the
fruits offered Me by mankind. (318,
33 - 34)
The Misguided World of an
Immature Humanity
35. You have governors in whose
hearts there is found neither the
justice nor the magnanimity necessary
to govern their peoples, for they
pursue the miserly ideal of power and
riches; men who call themselves My
representatives but who do not love
their fellow men; doctors who do not
know the essence of their mission,
which is charity, and judges who
confuse justice with vengeance, and
who use the law to perverse ends.
36. All of those who deviate from
their path, whose gaze wanders from
the light of the lamp they bear in the
beacon of their conscience, cannot
Chapter 52 - The Injustice and Decay of Humanity
441
imagine the judgment that they are
preparing for themselves.
37. There are also those who have
taken on missions that are not theirs,
and who by their errors give proof of
an absolute lack of the gifts needed to
fill the posts they have taken.
38. And so you may find ministers
of God, who are not, for they were not
sent for that mission; men who lead
peoples, but who are not capable of
guiding even their own steps, teachers
who have no gift for teaching, who
instead of giving light, create
confusion; and doctors in whose
hearts there beats no pity for the pains
of others, not understanding that He
who truly bears this calling is an
apostle of Christ.
39. Men have profaned all of My
institutions, but the time has come
when all of their works shall be
judged. Making that judgment falls to
Me, for which reason I tell you to be
vigilant, and comply with My
precepts of love and forgiveness.
(105, 16 - 19)
40. Behold this world: arrogant,
defiant, and proud of the works of
man that astonish the generations of
this century. In their majority, they
neither believe, nor love, the spiritual,
and therefore neither pray nor practice
My Law. Nonetheless, they feel
satisfied and proud to be able to show
off this portentous world of marvels
they have created through the power
of their science.
41. This world of the marvels of
men, built by centuries of science,
struggle, war, and tears, will be
destroyed by their own hands and
with their own weapons because the
time is already coming, when
humanity will realize the
inconsistency and fragility of their
works, which lacked love, justice, and
a true yearning to become perfect.
42. Soon you will know that you are
nothing without God. That only from
Me can you take the strength, life, and
intelligence to create a harmonious
coexistence between the spirit and the
human part of man. (282, 9 - 11)
43. Men speak of "the remote past",
of "antiquity", of "the long centuries"
and of "interminable eras", yet I
always see you as small. I see that you
have grown little spiritually. I
consider your world to be still in its
childhood, though you believe you
have reached maturity.
44. No, humanity. As long as the
spirit does not give evidence of
maturity, elevation, of perfection, of
advancement, and progress in the
different orders of your life, you shall
not move beyond presenting Me with
merely human works, great only in
appearance, but without moral
substance or solidity, because they
lack love. (325, 62 - 63)
45. It is a decisive time for the
spirits, a time of struggle; truly, all is
contest and struggle. That war takes
place in the hearts of each man, in the
bosoms of their homes, and at the root
of all the institutions of all the peoples
of every race.
Chapter 52 - The Injustice and Decay of Humanity
442
46. The battle does not take place
only in the material plane, but also in
the spiritual. It is the great battle
contemplated symbolically by the
prophets of other times, and seen in
the way of mirages by the prophets
and seers of this one.
47. Yet, that combat that moves and
shakes all is not understood by
humanity, though they are witness and
party to the battle.
48. The step of humans is hurried in
these days, but where do they go? To
what destination do they rush so? On
this steep slope, can they achieve
happiness? Will they find their yearn
for peace, or the greatness each
selfishly wishes for?
49. I can tell you that what man will
actually reach with his hurried steps,
is total fatigue. The spirits and hearts
of men advance toward disgust and
tiredness, but men themselves
prepared that abyss.
50. Into that abyss, into that total
fatigue, He shall fall. And in that
chaos of hatreds and pleasures, of
unsatisfied ambitions, of sin and
adultery, of the profanation of both
human and spiritual laws, He shall
find an apparent death of the spirit, a
passing death for the heart.
51. But, from that death I shall make
men rise again to life. I shall make
them have their resurrection, and
make them struggle in that new life
for the rebirth of all the ideals: for a
renaissance of all the principles and
all the virtues that are the
characteristics and the patrimony of
the spirit, which are their beginning,
their Alpha. For it was from Me that
the spirit sprang forth, from Me that it
took life, from My perfection it drank,
and with My grace it was saturated.
(360, 6 - 8)
My peace be with you !

XII. The Judgement and Purification of Humanity
Chapter 53 - The Time of Judgment has Arrived
The Gathering of the Harvest Sown
by Man
1. O My beloved disciples: these are
times of justice for mankind. The time
is up for you to begin to settle your
accounts. You are reaping the harvest
of previous sowings, the result or
consequence of your deeds.
2. There is a time for man to perform
his acts, and another in which He
must answer for what He has done;
the time in which you live is the latter.
That is why all of you suffer and
weep. Just as you have one time to
sow, and another to reap, so too God
has conceded to you one time to
comply with his Law, and another in
which He will manifest his justice.
3. You are living in the phase of
Divine justice. Pain makes you weep;
humanity purifies itself through its
own lamenting, because no one is
exempt from restitution.
4. These are times of justice in
which you must meditate over your
destiny, so that through meditation
and spirituality you will listen to the
voice of the conscience, which does
not confuse nor deceive, but it guides
you along the path of peace. (11. 58 -
61)
5. This is the time of judgment for
humanity. My Divinity judges men,
villages and nations, one by one;
nevertheless, men have not become
aware of that, nor do they know the
time in which they live. That is why I
have come in spirit, manifesting
Myself through human spokesmen;
through them I have revealed to you
who it is that speaks, the time in
which you live, and what your
mission is. (51, 61)
6. Verily I say to you: You are living
in the day of the Lord, you are already
under His judgment. The living and
dead are now being judged; past and
present deeds are being weighed in
this scale. Open your eyes so that you
can be witnesses that the Divine
justice is being felt everywhere. (76,
44)
7. Since olden times I have spoken
to you about a judgment and this is
the time announced which the
prophets represented as if it were one
day.
8. The word of your God is that of a
King, and it stands firm. What does it
matter that thousands of years have
passed since then? The will of the
Father is unchangeable and must be
fulfilled.
9. If men, besides believing in My
word, also knew how to pray and keep
vigil, they would never be taken off
guard, but they are unfaithful,
forgetful, unbelieving and when the
ordeal takes place they attribute it to
punishment, vengeance or the ire of
God; to which I say to you, that every
Chapter 53 - The Time of Judgment has Arrived
444
ordeal is announced with anticipation,
so that you will be prepared, therefore
you should always remain vigilant.
10. The Flood, destruction of the
cities by fire, invasions, plagues,
sickness, scarcity and still more
ordeals were foretold to all the
peoples of humanity, so that you
would be prepared and not be
surprised. In the same way today, the
love of God always has sent a
message of alertness, of preparation,
so that men will awaken, prepare
themselves and be strengthened. (24,
74 - 77)
11. I tell you that although it is
certain that very great trials await this
world, the days of pain shall be
shortened, for so great will be their
bitterness that they shall cause men to
awaken, to turn their eyes to Me, and
to listen to the voice of conscience
that urges them to compliance with
My law.
12. It shall be My justice that trims
all of evil that exists in the world.
Before that, I shall scrutinize all:
religions, sciences, and institutions;
the sickle of Divine justice shall
sweep through, separating the wheat
from the chaff. The good seed that
remains in the hearts of men, I shall
leave to give birth in the spirit of
humanity. (119, 10 - 11)
The Purification of Humanity
through the Judgment
13. How long will it take for
humanity to evolve to where it will
understand My love and feel My
presence through its conscience?
When humanity obeys My law and
hears My voice advising it, that will
be an indication that humanity has left
behind the eras of materialism.
14. In the meantime mankind will
still have to be touched by the
elements of nature in different ways
until they are convinced that superior
forces exist and that man's
materialism is highly inferior to those
forces.
15. The earth will tremble. Water
will cleanse and fire will purify
humanity.
16. All the elements and forces of
nature will make themselves felt
throughout the world where human
beings have not known how to live in
harmony with the life which
surrounds them.
17. However, nature does not seek
the destruction of those who
disrespect it. It only seeks harmony
between man and all creatures.
18. If nature is manifesting its justice
in a harsher manner, it is because the
faults of men and their lack of
harmony with its laws are also
greater. (40, 20 - 25)
19. The hand of man has unleashed
justice on himself: within his brain
there is a whirlwind, in his heart a
storm, and all of this is manifested as
well in nature, in its unleashed
elements, its inclement seasons, the
plagues that appear and multiply. It is
because your sins grow, producing
illnesses, and science, reckless and
Chapter 53 - The Time of Judgment has Arrived
445
senseless, does not recognize the
order established by the Creator.
20. If I only told you this, you would
not believe it. It is necessary that you
feel the results of your actions for you
to be deceived. You are precisely in
that moment of your life in which you
will see the results of all that you have
sown. (100, 6 - 7)
21. Life on earth has always been
one of testing and atonement for man;
however, this road of evolution has
never been so full of bitterness.
22. In these times men do not wait
for maturity to begin the struggle,
how many children there are who
know disillusion, the yoke, beatings,
stumbles, and failure. I can say more:
In these days the pain of men begins
before birth, in the very mother's
womb.
23. Great is the atonement of those
beings who today come to the earth.
But you must remember that all the
pain that exists in the world is the
work of men. What greater perfection
could My justice have than to permit
those who sowed these thorns on the
road of life to come now and harvest
them? (115, 35 - 37)
24. You cannot understand My
entire plan of universal redemption,
but I give you to know a part of it, so
that you may take part in My Work.
25. Only I know the importance of
the moment the world is living, no
human can manage to understand the
reality of this hour.
26. Humanity, from its beginnings,
has accumulated stain upon stain until
it has clouded their feelings and their
spirit, creating for them a life of
sickness, sadness, and turbulence. But
the hour of purification has been
signaled. (274, 11 - 12)
27. The time of the harvest has come
for each spirit, and that is why you
behold confusion among men, yet, I
tell you truly, that amidst that chaos,
each person shall reap what they have
sown.
28. And what shall become of My
children who have always failed
before My Law? Truly, to all those
who slumber without wishing to
analyze, without studying My lessons;
the trials shall come like a whirlwind
that makes them fall; while to those
who have obeyed My teachings, it
shall come as an encouragement to
compliance, like a beautiful prize
awarded by God. (310, 7)
29. In this time, those not prepared
to renew themselves shall know the
greatest bitterness, and shall be raised
from the earth, losing thereby a
precious opportunity to atone for their
faults and reconcile
30. In contrast, those who pass from
this mansion to the spiritual mansion,
with the peace and satisfaction given
by a duty fulfilled, feel illuminated by
My light, and if they are among those
who must reincarnate again, I will
prepare them for their return to human
life, so that they may be brought clean
again into life, with greater
Chapter 53 - The Time of Judgment has Arrived
446
spirituality, and greater wisdom. (91,
38 - 39)
The Love of God in the Judgment
31. Pain has spilled itself fully over
the world, making itself felt in
thousands of ways.
32. With what speed you live,
humanity! How laboriously you
amass your daily bread! That is why
men are consumed prematurely,
women age before their time, young
women are worn out at their very
flowering, and the children become
hardhearted at a tender age.
33. It is a time of pain, of bitterness,
and of trials that you live today. But I
wish you to find peace, achieve
harmony, and reject pain; that is why I
present Myself in Spirit and send you
My word, which is the gentle dew of
consolation, a balsam and peace for
your spirit.
34. Hear My word, which is the
resurrection and the life; in it you will
recover faith, health, and the joy in
struggling and existing. (132, 43 - 45)
35. Today is the time of great
restitution for the spirit. My judgment
has been open, and the works of each
one have been placed in the balance.
If that judgment seems great and
sorrowful for the spirits, with them
stands He who before being Judge, is
Father, and who loves them. They are
enveloped, too, in the love of your
intercessor, Mary. (153, 16)
36. Humanity: My justice has
arrived to judge man. It has come to
humble man's pride and make him
realize how small He truly is when He
sins and when He lives a life filled
with materialism.
37. Yes, people, I come to strip the
false greatness from man, for I wish
him to see the light and be elevated so
that He may become truly great,
because I wish you to be full of light,
elevation, goodness, power and
wisdom. (285, 15 - 16)
38. Humanity does not recognize
Me, and denies My presence in this
time, but I shall make them recognize
that My justice manifests itself in love
and charity, and that I do not come
with the whip to cause them pain, but
to raise them up to a life of grace and
purify them with the crystal clean
water that is My Word, the truth.
39. The world has not learned My
teaching, and has sustained its idolatry
and fanaticism; that is the reason that
today passes through the great
crucible, draining the cup of
bitterness, for their materialism has
distanced them from Me. (334, 29 -
30)
40. Humanity these days, divided in
peoples, races, languages, and colors,
receives, from My Divine Spirit, its
part of justice, the trials that
correspond to each, the struggle, the
crucible, and the restitution that for
each man and each race I have
waiting for them.
41. You know that My justice has
love as its principle; that the trials sent
man by the Father are evidence of
Chapter 53 - The Time of Judgment has Arrived
447
love, that all leads to salvation, to
good, even when in those trials there
seems to be misfortune, misery or
fatality.
42. Behind all of this is life: the
protection and redemption of the
spirit, and the Father, waiting always
to hold out his arms with the greatest
love for his prodigal son. (328, 11)
My peace be with you !
448
449
Chapter 54 - Struggles between Doctrines, Religions and Churches
Spiritual Struggles before the Reign
of Peace of Christ on earth
1. Just as I announced My coming in
the Second Era, I announce to you
now the war of creeds, ideas, and
religions, as the event foreshadowing
the establishment of My reign of
spirituality among men.
2. My word, like a sword of fire
shall destroy the fanaticism that for
centuries has enveloped men, shall
pull back the veil of ignorance, and
point out the white, luminous road
that leads to Me. (209, 10 - 11)
3. I tell you that for the peace of My
reign to be established among men, a
war of doctrines, religions, and ideas
shall still be necessary, a war in which
one doctrine rises to combat another,
and in which some use My name and
My truth to confront the false gods of
others.
4. That shall be the new contest, the
spiritual battle in which the false gods
fall from their pedestals, and all the
falseness you had held as truth is
revealed. You shall see how among
that chaos of confusion and darkness,
the splendid truth shall shine. (121,
40)
5. Spiritualism is provoking a
worldwide battle between ideas,
beliefs, and the various cults. But after
that struggle, this doctrine shall bring
men the blessed peace they so much
need and make the sun of My Divine
justice shine out over all the spirits.
(141, 11)
6. I am preparing you, and warning
for the time when the confusion of
ideas arises, so that you can free
yourselves of the interior struggle of
the spirit and the torture of thought.
7. All the ideas, doctrines,
theologies, philosophies, and beliefs
of humanity, symbolized as a storm,
shall be removed, as a true storm of
the spirit over whose raging waters I
wish you to navigate, remaining afloat
until the storm and darkness pass.
8. I give you no better formula for
getting through that trial than prayer
and the practice of My word, by
means of which your faith will be
continually fortified.
9. That battle of ideas, that contest
between creeds and ideas, that
struggle, are indispensable to make all
the defects and errors accumulated in
the depths of every cult and institution
come to light.
10. Only after that storm passes can
there be a moral and spiritual purge of
mankind, for they shall see the truth
rise up, they shall know it, shall feel it
in themselves, and they will no longer
be able to feed on appearances and
fictions.
11. Thus, just as each man takes
freely for himself the necessary
exposure of the sun upon his body,
recognizing that in its light, its heat,
and in its influence there is material
life, so too shall they take from the
Chapter 54 - Struggles between Doctrines, Religions and Churches
450
light of truth as much sustenance,
strength, and illumination of the spirit
as they need.
12. Then man shall feel strong as
never before, for his life shall begin to
adhere to true principles, to the norms
established by My Law. (323, 19 - 22)
The Contest for Spiritual
Supremacy on earth
13. In this time there is a struggle
between ideas and doctrines. Each
man wants to be [thought] right, but
who can be right in this contest of
selfishness and interests? Who can be
the owner of the truth?
14. If those who believe they possess
truth and are on the perfect road,
become vain for that reason, I can tell
you truthfully that they do not yet
know that road, for on that road, it is
necessary to have humility, and it is
enough to fail to recognize the truth
contained in the beliefs of others, to
cease being humble. I told you since
the Second Era: "Blessed are the meek
and humble of heart."
15. The man who judges the faith
and beliefs of his brothers distances
himself from salvation, for in his
pride and folly He tries to be equal to
God. (199, 4 - 6)
16. You ask Me what I am trying to
do by manifesting spiritually among
humanity in this time; I answer that
what I seek is your awakening to the
light, your spirituality, and your
unification, for in all the times you
have been divided, for while some
have sought the treasures of the spirit,
others have dedicated themselves to
loving the wealth of this world.
Spiritualism and materialism are
always in conflict; spiritualists and
materialists have never been able to
understand each other.
17. Remember Israel, awaiting the
Messiah, when they had him in front
of their eyes they divided into
believers and deniers of My truth. The
explanation is simple: those who
awaited Me with the spirit believed,
and those who waited with their
material senses denied Me.
18. These two forces must confront
each other again until from the
struggle the truth is arises. The
struggle will be bitter, for men love
the earthly more as time passes,
because their science and their
discoveries make them feel as though
they are in their own kingdom, in a
world that they have created. (175, 4 -
6)
19. Today, every man believes He
knows the entire truth: Each religion
says it possesses the truth, and the
men of science claim to have found it.
I tell you, absolutely no one knows
the Truth, for the part revealed to men
has not been understood by them.
20. All men bear within themselves a
part of the truth and part of the errors
that they mix with the light of truth.
21. The battle approaches in which
all those forces shall take part, each
wishing to impose its idea; but it shall
not, in the end, be a human theory that
triumphs, nor yet a scientific theory or
a religious creed, but the harmonious
Chapter 54 - Struggles between Doctrines, Religions and Churches
451
joining of all the good ideas, all the
higher beliefs, all the worship raised
up to the peak of spirituality, of all the
sciences put into the service of true
human progress.
22. I shall permit men to speak and
expound their ideas; to others that
they publicly display their rites and
worship, that they argue and struggle,
that the scientists present their most
advanced theories; that all that is
hidden in each spirit rise up, flower,
and manifest itself, for the day of the
reaping is near, the day when the
conscience, like an inexorable scythe
cuts to the roots all that is false in the
hearts of humanity. (322, 15 - 18)
The Struggle against Spiritualism
23. The ministers of these times
adorn themselves royally to officiate
symbolically at the sacrifice of Jesus,
but in spite of the fact that they claim
My name and My representation, I
find their minds disturbed, their hearts
scourged by the winds of intrigues
and passions. There is not one who
like a prophet proclaims that I am
among the men of this time. They
shall feel great bitterness, for there is
no spiritual preparation among them.
Where is the compliance of those who
swore before Jesus to follow in his
footsteps? Where are the imitators of
My apostles? Are there none who are
like John, who was among the first, or
Paul, who was of the later?
24. That is why the Master comes
again to renew his lesson to you. I see
already the new Pharisees and scribes,
full of hatred, throwing themselves at
Me; that shall be when I ask: "Where
are My disciples?" And when those
who are arrogant, those who are
fraudulent, those of the rich that fear
to lose their power, and those
threatened by My truth, mock and
persecute me - hurricane winds shall
blow, and it shall not be I who fall
beneath the weight of the cross, but
they who asked that He who gave
them life be sacrificed. (149, 32 - 33)
25. At the injustice of men, the wave
of materialism shall rise up like an
angry sea, a sea of pains, desperation,
and anguish.
26. Only one vessel shall float over
that sea of passions, greed, and human
hatred. That ship will be My Law.
Happy will be those who are strong
when that time comes.
27. Woe to those who slumber then;
woe to the weak; woe to the people
who have built their faith on
foundations of religious fanaticism,
for they shall be easy prey for the
furious waves.
28. Do you not foresee the battle,
humanity? Does My word not move
you to prepare to defend yourselves
when the time comes?
29. My light is in all, but only those
who pray and prepare can see it. My
light speaks through presentiments,
through inspiration, intuition, and
through dreams and warnings. Yet,
you are indifferent to all the signs
from the Divine.
30. Soon you shall see My word
redeemed, and give witness that it
contains truth.
Chapter 54 - Struggles between Doctrines, Religions and Churches
452
31. My Doctrine, and My Name,
shall be the target of all sorts of
attacks and persecutions; it shall be
the motive of your persecution by the
enemies of truth; yet, My Doctrine
shall also be the sword of light of
those who rise up defending the faith,
and it shall be the shield behind which
the innocent are defended. My name
shall be on all lips, blessed by some,
and cursed by others.
32. All the faculties of man are
unleashed: his intelligence, his
sentiments, his passions, his spiritual
powers are all awakened and ready for
the struggle.
33. How much confusion there shall
be then. How many there shall be,
who having believed that they had
faith in Me, will be convinced that it
was not true faith.
34. In many homes and hearts the
light of love and hope will be
extinguished; children and youths will
have no other God but the world, and
no more Laws but those of the earth.
(300, 35 - 40)
35. What will happen when men
realize their measureless love for the
world and their worship of earthly
things has led them to painful failure?
They will try to find the road lost,
they will search for the principles and
laws they have deviated from, and in
that search doctrines will be created,
precepts counseled, and philosophies,
ideas, and theories shall arise.
36. All of this will be the beginning
of a great new battle, but not one
promoted by the selfish ambitions of
earthly power. There shall be none of
the fratricidal arms that end lives
destroying homes and spilling human
blood. This combat will be different,
for it will be the great religions
struggling against the new doctrines
and the new religions.
37. Who will triumph in that battle?
No religion will be the winner in that
contest, just as in the fratricidal wars
you now suffer, no one people will be
triumphant.
38. Over the war for material
domination My justice will rule, and
later over the new battle to achieve
the imposition of certain doctrines or
religions, My truth shall be imposed.
39. The one single truth shall flash
like lightning in the night of the
storm, and each one, wherever He
might be, shall behold that splendor.
40. My message will come to all,
and all will come to Me. I have
everything prepared for the times to
come, and all shall do My will, for I
am the owner of spirits and worlds, of
races and of the peoples. (288, 33 - 36
and 43)
The Rejection of the Spiritual
Revelations and Spiritual Healings
41. The spiritual valley shall come
yet closer to men, to give them
testimony of its existence and its
presence. On all roads there shall be
signs, evidence, revelations, and
messages that insistently proclaim that
a new Era has begun.
42. There shall be struggle, and there
shall be upheaval in the peoples, for
the religions shall sow fear in those
Chapter 54 - Struggles between Doctrines, Religions and Churches
453
who believe those messages, and
science shall deny the truth of those
happenings.
43. Then the humble shall rise up,
sheathing themselves in valor, to
testify to the truth of the evidence
they have received: those who having
been deprived of hope by science
shall recover their health spiritually,
and testify of the miraculous cases
that reveal a power that is infinite, and
of absolute wisdom.
44. Among the humble and ignored
there shall arise men and women
whose words full of light shall
surprise the theologians, philosophers,
and scientists. And when the struggle
is at its height, and the poor are
humiliated and their testimonies
denied by the arrogant, that shall be
the moment when Elijah calls the
wise, the lords, and the princes, and
puts them to the test.
45. Woe to the false and hypocrites
in that hour, for perfect justice shall
descend to them.
46. It shall be the hour of justice, but
from it many spirits will ascend to the
true life, in many hearts faith will
arise, and many eyes will be opened
to the light. (350, 71 - 72)
My peace be with you !
454
455
Chapter 55 - The Purification of the World and Humanity
in the Judgment
The Warning Voice of God and
Nature before the Judgment
1. I have said that a very great ordeal
draws nearer to mankind, so great that
in all the history of its centuries and
ages, it has not had any comparison.
2. Now you must understand that I
am speaking to the heart of all of you.
I am allowing My messages and
warnings to reach you in many ways,
in order for men to meditate and to
awaken to My Law, like the prudent
virgins of My parable.
3. Will the peoples and the different
nations of the world listen to Me?
Will this people, to whom I am
manifesting Myself in this manner,
listen to Me? Only I know, but My
responsibility as a Father is to put all
the means for their salvation along
My children's path. (24, 80 - 81)
4. Verily I say to you that if at this
period men do not cleanse the
blemishes that they have left in their
spirit, the elements will come as
heralds announcing My justice and
My glory and purifying mankind of
all impurity.
5. Blessed are the men, women and
children who upon realizing the
proximity of that justice, glorify My
name, sensing that the day of the Lord
has arrived, because their heart will
tell them that the end of the reign of
evil draws near. I say to you that these
people, through their faith, their hope
and their good deeds, will be saved,
but how many of those who live
during those days are going to
blaspheme! (64, 67 - 68)
6. The paradise of the first people
became a valley of tears, and now it is
a mere valley of blood. That is why
today when I have come to fulfill the
promise that I made to My disciples, I
awaken mankind from their lethargy,
giving them My teachings of love to
save them, and I seek the spirits who
are destined to arise during this period
to give testimony of My manifestation
and My word with their deeds.
7. When those chosen by Me find
themselves reunited round My Law,
the earth and the stars will be shaken
and in the sky there will be signs,
because at that instant the voice of the
Divine Spirit, surrounded by the
spirits of the just, of the prophets and
the martyrs, will judge the spiritual
and material realms. (26, 43 - 44)
8. Many peoples have fallen to the
depths of the abyss of materialism,
and others are yet to succumb; the
pain of their fall, however, shall wake
them from their deep slumber.
9. Those are the nations that after a
period of splendor tumbled into the
abyss to sink into the darkness of
pain, vice, and misery. Now, it is not a
people, but all of humanity that runs
blindly towards [spiritual] death and
confusion.
Chapter 55 - The Purification of the World and Humanity in the Judgment
456
10. The arrogance of the peoples
shall be touched by My justice;
remember Nineveh, Babylon, Greece,
Rome, and Carthage; in them you will
find profound lessons of the Divine
justice.
11. When men, upon grasping the
scepter, have allowed their hearts to
fill with impiety, pride, and insane
passions, dragging their peoples into
degeneration, My justice has come to
remove them from power.
12. At the same time, however, I
have ignited a torch before them to
illuminate the road of salvation for the
spirit. What would become of men if
in the moment of their trials I
abandoned them to their own devices?
(105, 45 - 47)
13. From precipice to precipice man
has descended spiritually to the point
of denying Me and forgetting Me,
even to the extreme of denying
himself and disowning his essence,
which is his spirit.
14. Only My mercy can allow men
to avoid the pain of having to retrace
the road to return to Me; only I, in My
love, shall know how to put in the
way of My children the means for
them to encounter the path of
salvation. (173, 21 - 22)
15. The day the waters ceased to
cover the earth, I caused the rainbow
of peace to shine in the heavens as a
sign of the pact God had established
with men.
16. I tell you now, you humanity of
the Third Era, that you are the same
ones who passed through those
ordeals in which you were purified.
You are soon to experience new
chaos.
17. But I come to prevent the people
instructed by Me and humanity in
general, to whom I have made Myself
known in this time. Listen, My
children: Here is the ark; enter, I
invite you.
18. For you, oh Israel, the ark is the
practice of My Law, and all who
fulfill My commandments in the most
perilous and bitter days will find
themselves within the ark, strong and
feeling protected by the mantle of My
love.
19. And to all this humanity I say
again: The ark is My Law of love, all
who practice love and charity with
their fellow man and with themselves
will be saved. (302, 17 - 18)
20. I have always given you time to
prepare, and apportioned the means
for your salvation. Before sending you
My justice to receive an accounting
from you at the end of an Era or
phase, I have shown you My love,
warning you, and exhorted you to
repentance, reform, and the good.
21. Nonetheless, at the hour of
justice, I have never presented Myself
to ask if you have yet repented, or if
you have prepared yourselves, or
whether you remain still submerged in
disobedience and evil.
22. My justice has arrived at the
appointed time, and He who has
known to build his ark on time has
been saved; while He who responded
Chapter 55 - The Purification of the World and Humanity in the Judgment
457
with ridicule, and did nothing for his
salvation when the hour of justice was
announced, had to perish.(323, 51)
The Power of Evil shall be broken
23. Until now it has not been human
love which has dominated the world;
it has been, as it was from the
beginning of mankind, human power
which reigns and conquers. The one
who has loved has become the victim
of evil.
24. Evil has extended its kingdom
and has been strong on earth, and it is
precisely in this time that I bring My
weapons to oppose these powers so
that My Kingdom of love and justice
may be established among men.
25. But before My Kingdom is
established, I will have to battle evil,
for it is necessary that I wage war and
destroy all evil to give you the peace
of My Spirit. (33, 32 - 33)
26. Men will come to the end of their
own path and return along the same
way, reaping the fruit of all they have
sown. That is the only manner in
which they will truly repent, for
without recognizing their faults, they
can do nothing to correct their errors.
27. A new world is in preparation.
The new generations are about to
arrive, but before that occurs, it is
necessary to separate the hungry
wolves so that they do not prey on the
sheep. (46, 65 - 66)
28. An immaterial leprosy has
extended throughout the earth, it eats
away the hearts and destroys the faith
and the virtue. Men are covered with
spiritual rags; they know that no one
is able to discover those miseries
because human beings cannot see
beyond what is physical.
29. But the hour of the conscience
approaches; it is the same as if you
would say that the day of the Lord or
His judgment is about to take place.
Then shame will rise in some and
remorse in others.
30. Those who listen to that inner
voice, burning and inflexible, will feel
within them a fire that devours, which
exterminates and purifies. The sinner
cannot resist that fire of justice or
anything which is not pure. Only the
spirit is able to resist it because He is
endowed with a Divine strength;
therefore when He has passed through
the fire of his conscience, He will
have to come out cleansed of his
errors. (82, 58 - 59)
31. All the pain caused by men will
be brought together in one single cup
which will be drunk by those who
originally caused it, and those who
have never been moved by pain, will
tremble in spirit and flesh. (141, 73)
32. It is necessary that for an instant
the heavens be closed to all, and that
they reopen only when from the earth
comes up one single cry, recognizing
that the Father of all beings is one
only.
33. I tell you truly, I shall submit this
fratricidal and selfish world to
judgment, and I shall purify it until I
see that love and light spring forth
Chapter 55 - The Purification of the World and Humanity in the Judgment
458
from it, and that those who today lead
their peoples to the abyss, those who
today sow and propagate vices, those
who have created a reign of injustice,
shall be those to whom I give it to
battle the temptations, destroy the
perversities, and uproot the tree of
evil. (151, 14 and 69)
34. Man, making use of his free will,
has so twisted the road as to forget
from whom He originated, and has
gone to the extreme of considering
virtue, love, goodness, peace, and
brotherhood to be alien to his nature,
while seeing selfishness, vice, and sin
as completely natural and legitimate.
35. The new Sodom is all over the
earth, and a new purification is
necessary. The good seed shall be
rescued, and with it a new humanity
will be formed. My seed shall fall
upon fertile soil watered by the tears
of repentance, and it shall grow in the
hearts of future generations that know
how to offer the Lord a higher
worship. (161, 21 - 22)
36. I shall permit the hand of man to
carry out destruction, death, and war,
but only to a certain point; beyond
that limit, the depravity, the
obfuscation, and the ambition of men
shall not pass.
37. That is when My scythe shall
come and with wisdom reap
according to My will, for My scythe is
of life, of love, and of true justice. But
as for you, people: Pray and keep
vigil. (345, 91)
38. Yesterday the earth was a vale of
tears, now it is a valley of blood;
tomorrow, what shall it be? A field of
smoking ruins over which passed the
flames of justice, exterminating sin
and striking down the pride of
loveless men because they have
forgotten the spirit.
39. And so the merchants of science
will be driven from the temple of
wisdom because they profaned the
truth and enriched themselves with
the light. (315, 61 - 62)
40. The great nations rise up
proclaiming their might, menacing the
world with their weapons and
boasting of their intelligence and their
science, not realizing how fragile is
the false world they have created, for
a small touch of My justice shall be
sufficient to make that artificial world
disappear.
41. It shall be the hand of man which
destroys his own works, it shall be his
own mind that invents the means of
exterminating what He first created.
42. I shall cause to remain standing
only those human works that have
brought healthy fruits to men, so that
they may continue being cultivated
for the good of future generations; all
dedicated to perverse or selfish ends,
however, shall be destroyed by the
fire of My inexorable justice.
43. Upon the ruins created and
destroyed by a materialistic humanity,
a new world shall arise, whose
foundations shall be in experience,
and which will have as its purpose the
Chapter 55 - The Purification of the World and Humanity in the Judgment
459
ideal of spiritual elevation. (315, 55 -
56)
Apocalyptic Wars, Pests, Plagues,
and Destruction
44. You are living in times of
anguish in which men purify
themselves by enduring great
suffering. But those who have
analyzed the prophecies already knew
that the moment was soon to come,
that moment in which wars would
break out everywhere as nations
began to reject one another.
45. Still to come are the strange
illnesses and epidemics which will
appear among humanity and will
confuse the scientists. And when pain
reaches its peak in men, they will still
have the strength to shout: It is
punishment from God! But I do not
punish. It is you who punish
yourselves by disregarding the laws
which govern your spirit and physical
body.
46. Who has unleashed and
provoked the forces of nature if not
the foolishness of men? Who has
defied My laws? It is the men of
science, in their arrogance. But verily
I say to you, this pain will serve to
pull out the bad weed which has
grown in the heart of humanity.
47. Fields will be covered with the
dead. The innocent will also perish.
Some will die by fire, others by
hunger, and others by war. The earth
will tremble, the elements will be
moved, lava will flow from the
mountains, and the seas will become
turbulent.
48. I will allow men to take their
perversity to a limit, to where their
free will allows them, in order that,
horrified by their own work, they
might feel true repentance in their
spirits. (35, 22 - 26)
49. The tree of scientific knowledge
will be greatly shaken by the fury of
the elements of nature, and humanity
will receive the fruits from that fall.
Who, other than man, will be
responsible for causing the elements
of nature to become unleashed?
50. It is fine that the earliest beings
knew pain for the purpose of
awakening them to reality and causing
them to be born to the light of the
conscience, and to obey the Law. But
why does the evolved, conscious, and
developed man of this time profane
the Tree of Life? (288, 28)
51. Epidemics will fall upon the
world, strange and rare diseases
before which science will be
impotent, and a great part of humanity
will perish.
52. The universe will be cleansed of
its weeds. My justice shall separate
out the selfishness, the hatred, and the
tireless ambition. Great phenomena of
nature will appear.
53. Nations will be swept away and
lands will disappear. This will serve
as a warning bell for your hearts.
(206, 22 - 24)
Chapter 55 - The Purification of the World and Humanity in the Judgment
460
Natural Catastrophes and
Earthquakes
54. Humanity: If all the efforts you
have dedicated to prosecuting bloody
wars had been dedicated to executing
humanitarian works, your existence
would be filled with the blessings of
the Father, but men have used the
riches they have accumulated to sow
destruction, pain, and death.
55. This cannot be the true life, that
which must be lead by those who are
brothers, and the children of God.
This form of life is not in accord with
the Law I have written in your
consciences.
56. To make you understand the
error in which you live, volcanoes
shall arise, fire shall surge from the
earth to exterminate the evil seed. The
winds shall be unleashed, the earth
shall tremble, and the waters shall
sweep over regions and nations.
57. In that way the elements will
show their resentment of man; they
have broken with him because man
has been destroying one by one the
bonds of friendship and brotherhood
that tie him to the Nature that
surrounds him. (164, 40 - 42)
58. Many calamities wilt come upon
mankind; within Nature there will be
disturbances, the elements will be
unleashed. Fire will devastate regions,
the waters of the rivers will leave their
course, the seas will undergo changes.
59. There will be regions which will
be buried under the waters, and new
lands will appear. Many creatures will
lose their lives, and even those beings
inferior to man will perish. (11, 77)
60. The elements await only the hour
to unleash themselves upon the world
to cleanse and purify the earth. The
more sinful and proud a nation, the
harsher shall be My judgment of it.
61. The heart of this humanity is
hard and deaf. It will be necessary for
the cup of bitterness to reach it before
it will be able to hear the voice of
conscience, the voice of the law, and
Divine justice; all will be for the
salvation and eternal life of the spirits,
which are whom I seek. (138, 78 - 79)
62. That flood that cleansed the earth
of the human impurities, and the fire
that descended upon Sodom you
know them as legends; however, in
this Era you will also contemplate
how humanity will be touched as the
earth trembles by the force of the air,
the water and the fire; however, I shall
again send you an arc, which is My
Law, so that those who penetrate in it
may be saved.
63. Not all of those who on that hour
of trial will say: Father, Father!" will
love me, but rather those who always
practice My love for their fellowman,
those shall be saved. (57, 61 - 62)
64. A new flood will become
unleashed that will cleanse the earth
of human perversity. It will topple the
false gods from their altars, destroy
stone by stone the foundation of
arrogance and iniquity and will erase
Chapter 55 - The Purification of the World and Humanity in the Judgment
461
every false doctrine and every absurd
philosophy.
65. Yet this new deluge shall not be,
as was that of the earlier era, of water,
for now the hand of man has loosed
all the elements, both seen and
unseen, against himself. He dictates
his own sentence, He punishes
himself, and He does justice. (65, 31)
66. The elements shall cry out for
justice, and upon unleashing
themselves they will cause portions of
the earth to disappear, becoming seas,
and seas to vanish where land arises.
67. Volcanoes will erupt to
announce the time of judgment, and
all Nature will be agitated and moved.
68. Pray, so that you will know how
to conduct yourselves as good
disciples, because that will be the
precise time in which the Spiritual
Trinitarian Marian Doctrine shall be
spread within the hearts. (60, 40 - 41)
69. Three - quarters of the surface of
the earth shall disappear, and one
quarter only shall remain as a refuge
for those that survive the chaos. You
shall see the fulfillment of many
prophecies. (238, 24)
70. Do not be confused, because
before the closing of the Sixth Seal,
great things shall happen, the
heavenly bodies shall show great
signs, the nations of the earth shall
lament, and of this planet three
quarters shall disappear and one
quarter only will remain in which the
seed of the Holy Spirit shall grow as
new life.
71. Humanity will begin a new
existence united by one single
doctrine, one single language, and one
single bond of peace and brotherhood.
(250, 53)
72. I speak to you of the pain to
which you have made yourself
creditors, which you have been
accumulating and which shall
overflow when the hour comes.
73. I would never offer such a cup to
My children, but in My justice I can
allow you to gather the fruit of your
evil, your arrogance, and your
senselessness, so that you may turn
repenting, again to Me.
74. Men have defied My power and
My justice by profaning with their
science the temple of Nature, in which
all is harmony, and their judgment
shall be inexorable.
75. The elements shall be unleashed,
the Cosmos shall move, and the earth
tremble. Then there will be horror
amongst men, and they will want to
flee, but there will be nowhere to go;
they will wish to restrain the
unchained forces, but will not be able,
for they will feel responsible, and
repenting too late for their
recklessness and imprudence, they
shall seek death to escape the
punishment. (238, 15 - 17)
76. Oh, how much suffering would
be avoided if men knew their gifts!
But they have preferred to remain
blind or sleeping while they allow the
Chapter 55 - The Purification of the World and Humanity in the Judgment
462
times of great pain to come ever
closer.
77. My doctrine comes to enlighten
you so that you may free yourselves
of the great suffering announced for
humanity through the prophets of past
eras.
78. It is in the elevation of your lives
that you can find the power or virtue
to save yourselves from the actions of
the unchained elements, for it is not
the weapons of faith and prayer alone
that will give you victory over the
vicissitudes and adversities of life:
that faith and prayer must be
accompanied by a life that is virtuous,
clean, and good. (280, 14 - 15 and 17)
79. Soon a time shall begin in which
there will be great happenings for the
world. The earth will tremble and the
sun shall cause glowing rays to burn
its surface. The continents, from one
end to another, shall be touched by the
pain, every corner of the earth will
suffer the purification, and no creature
shall escape the hardship and
atonement.
80. After this great chaos, the
nations will recover calmness, and the
elements will quiet. After the storMy
night of the world, the rainbow of
peace shall appear, all will return to
their laws, their order, and their
harmony.
81. Again you will see the clean
skies, and the fertile fields, the waters
in their currents shall regain their
purity, and the sea shall be gentle;
there shall be fruit on the trees,
flowers on the prairies, and abundant
harvests. And man, purified and
healthy, shall return to feeling worthy,
and will find prepared the road of his
ascension and return to Me.
82. All beings shall be cleaned and
free of stain from their very
beginning, so that they may be worthy
of possessing the new time that
approaches, for I must found the new
humanity on firm ground. (351, 66 -
69)
Loving Justice and the Mercy of
God
83. The time approaches when the
full weight of justice shall be felt in
the world. All works, words, and
thoughts shall be judged. All, from the
great of the earth who govern its
peoples, to the smallest and least
known shall be weighed on the Divine
balance.
84. But do not confuse justice with
vengeance, nor restitution with
punishment, for I merely permit you
to gather and eat the fruits you have
sown, so that you know by their taste
and effect if they are healthful or
harmful, and if you have sown badly
or well.
85. The innocent blood spilled by
human evil, the weeping and
mourning of widows and orphans, the
pariah who suffers hunger and misery,
all cry out for justice; and My justice,
perfect and loving, but inexorable,
descends upon all. (239, 21 - 23)
86. My justice will go over every
creature and touch every human being
like that time when the angel of the
Chapter 55 - The Purification of the World and Humanity in the Judgment
463
Lord passed over Egypt giving
fulfillment to My justice, and being
saved from it only those who had
marked their doors with the blood of
the Lamb.
87. Verily I say to you that everyone
shall be saved who during this period
is vigilant and has faith in the word
and in the promises of the Savior, the
Divine Lamb who was sacrificed to
teach you to pray and fulfill the
mission of your restitution with
perfect love, because My blood, like a
mantle of love, will protect him; but
He who is not watchful, He who does
not believe or blasphemes, shall be
touched so that He will awaken from
his lethargy. (76, 6 - 7)
88. I will allow men to feel My
Divine presence as they cry out: "Our
Father, our Savior, come help us
because we are perishing." I will
manifest My infinite mercy and will
prove once again My love for man.
(294, 40)
89. The routine of your life shall be
battered soon by the harsh winds, but
the light of a star on the infinite whose
glimmering gives peace, light, and the
calm that the incarnate spirit needs to
contemplate the eternal, shall
thereafter shine. (87, 52)
The Results of Judgment
90. And when it appears that all has
ended for man, that it is death which
has won, or evil that has triumphed,
from out of the darkness will come
the beings to the light; from death
they will be revived into the true life,
and out of the abyss of evil they shall
rise up to practice the eternal Law of
God.
91. Not all shall know the abyss, for
just as some have tried to remain apart
from the war of passions, ambitions,
and hatred, and have lived outside of
the New Sodom; others, who have
sinned much, will yet know to stop in
time, and by their opportune
repentance and complete regeneration
avoid many tears and much pain.
(174, 53 - 54)
92, Of all the moral and material
structure of this humanity, "there shall
not be left here one stone upon
another," because for the "new man"
to appear on this earth, it is necessary
to erase all stain, to destroy all sin,
and to leave only that which is of
good seed.
93. The splendor of My presence and
My justice shall be contemplated all
over the globe, and before that light
idols will fall, traditional routines will
be forgotten, and sterile rites will be
abandoned.
94. One single door will remain open
for the salvation of men; that of
spirituality, and He who wishes to
save himself will have to leave behind
his pride, his false greatness, his low
passions, and his selfishness.
95. Very bitter shall be the cup from
which men must drink in the great
battle, and yet, I tell you, happy shall
be those who drink from that cup and
depart from earth already purified, for
when they return in other bodies to
Chapter 55 - The Purification of the World and Humanity in the Judgment
464
this world, their message will be one
of light, peace, and wisdom. (289, 60
- 61)
96. The last whirlwinds, and the last
battles, with their quotas of bitterness,
are yet to come. It is necessary yet for
all the forces to agitate, and the atoms
to spin in chaos so that afterward,
there can come the lethargy, the
fatigue, the sadness, and the weariness
that seem like death.
97. And that will be the hour when
in the sublimity of the conscience, the
vibrating echo of a trumpet will be
heard, announcing from the Beyond,
that the Kingdom of Life and Peace
comes to the men of good will.
98. And before the voice of that
trumpet, the dead [in spirit] will rise
weeping tears of repentance, and the
Father shall receive them like prodigal
sons worn out from the long journey
and fatigued from the great struggle,
and seal their spirits, bestowing upon
them the kiss of love.
99. From that day forward, man shall
abhor war, tear hatred and rancor
from his heart, persecute sin, and
begin a life of restoration and
reconstruction. Many will feel
inspired by a light they did not
previously behold, and they will rise
up to create a world of peace.
100. It shall be only the beginning of
the time of grace, the Era of Peace.
101. The Stone Age is long past, the
time of Science will also pass, and
then the Era of the Spirit shall flower
among men.
102. The source of life will reveal
great Mysteries, so that men can
construct a world strong in the science
of good, in justice, and in love. (235,
79 - 83)
My peace be with you !
465
XIII. The Transformation and Consecration of the World
and Creation
Chapter 56 - Triumph and Recognition of the Spiritual Work of
Christ
The Spreading of Spiritualism by
the Envoys of God
1. My Law will be the ark of
salvation in this period; when the
floodwaters of sin, of grief and misery
are unleashed, truly I say to you that
men of other nations, will arrive in
caravans to this country, attracted by
its spirituality, its hospitality and
peace, and when they know about this
revelation and have faith in what I
said in My new coming as the Holy
Spirit, I will also name them Israelites
in the spirit.
2. Among those multitudes will be
My emissaries, whom I will send to
their people to convey the Divine
message of My word to their brethren.
3. But not everyone will come to this
nation to learn of this teaching which
I brought to you, because many will
receive it spiritually. (10, 22)
4. Each of you shall receive peace,
depending on how you have shaped it,
but I promise you better times.
5. After the purge that must take
place on earth, beings sent by Me,
virtuous spirits with great missions,
will come to form the obedient
family.
6. Four generations after your own
shall pass for My Doctrine to extend
over the earth and harvest wonderful
fruits. (310, 50)
The Fight for the Recognition of the
New Word
7. Today it is a small portion that
surrounds Me, but tomorrow the
multitudes that will be around Me will
be immense; among them will be the
pharisees and the hypocrites,
searching for errors in My Doctrine to
arouse the mind of the multitudes
against My Work. They do not know
that before they scrutinize My word,
they will be scrutinized. (66, 61)
8. In that era, three judges, Annas,
Pilate, and Herod judged me, and the
people fulfilled their sentence on Me.
Now, I tell you, many are My judges,
and more of them there are who will
make Me feel pain in this era.
9. But just when men show the
greatest aversion to My Law and
Doctrine, just when I am most
rejected and persecuted, the voice of
the men of faith shall rise up, for what
happened in the Second Era shall not
occur again; now I am not alone. (94,
67)
10. There shall be a moment when
My word given in this Era will seem
Chapter 56 - Triumph and Recognition of the Spiritual Work of Christ
466
to have been wiped from the face of
the earth.
11. Then men will surface inventing
spiritualist doctrines, teaching new
laws and doctrines. They will call
themselves masters, apostles,
prophets, and envoys. For a time, I
will let them speak, and
sow, and I will permit them to
cultivate their crop, so that when they
gather their harvest, they will
understand what they have sown.
12. Time and the elements shall pass
over their seeds, and their passage
shall be like a judgment for each of
these beings.
13. It is necessary for the world to
know impostors, so that they may
recognize truth. It is then that the truth
and essence that I have bestowed
upon you in this time shall rise up in
humanity in all its purity and
spirituality. (106, 9 - 10)
The Power of the Doctrine of The
Holy Spirit
14. A new Era has unfolded before
mankind; it is the Era of light, whose
presence indicates a halt along the
spiritual path of all men; this will
enable them to awaken, meditate, and
rid themselves of their heavy burden
of traditions, fanaticism and errors, in
order to arise later to a new life.
15. Some sooner and others later, all
religions and sects will be arriving
before the invisible Temple, before
the Temple of the Holy Spirit which is
present in My Work, firm as a column
which rises toward infinity, awaiting
men of all peoples and lineages.
16. When all have penetrated the
interior of My sanctuary to pray and
meditate, one and all will reach the
same understanding of My truth; that
is why, once that “stop” along the way
is ended, everyone will arise together
guided by the same Law and will have
to render worship in the same manner
to the Father. (12, 94 - 96)
17. I, in union with the people I am
forming and who I rescued from
darkness and ignorance, shall give
fulfillment to the prophecies made in
past times, and before My trials and
prodigies the world shall tremble and
the theologians and interpreters of
prophecies will burn their books and
prepare to study this revelation. Men
with titles, men of science, men with
scepters and crowns, shall stop to hear
My Doctrine, and many will cry,
"Christ, the Savior, has returned!"
18. Verily I say to you that My
Word will change the face of your
present world and all of your life.
19. For the men of this era, the world
and its pleasures are the reason for
their existence; however, soon they
will place the spirit before the flesh
and the flesh before its garments, and
instead of seeking mundane glories,
they will go in search of the
immortality of the spirit.
20. In the beginning there will be a
fanaticism toward the spiritual; its
fulfillment will be carried toward an
extreme, but then the hearts will calm
down and spirituality will emerge
filled with truth and purity. (82, 30 -
31)
Chapter 56 - Triumph and Recognition of the Spiritual Work of Christ
467
21. My doctrine shall cause great
revolutions in the world, there shall be
great transformations in the customs
and ideas and there shall be changes
even in Nature; all of these shall be
signs of the arrival of a new Era for
humanity, and the spirits that I shall
soon send to the earth will speak of all
these prophecies to aid in the
restoration and elevation of this
world; they shall explain My words,
and analyze events. (152, 71)
22. A new song will arise from the
spirit of all those who before were not
able, but who have finally seen Me
because, in spite of their
imperfections, they sought Me, and
you already know that He who seeks
Me will always find Me.
23. But those who have denied Me,
those who have fled Me, those who
have hidden My name, and those who
deny My presence, shall have trials
put on their roads that will open their
eyes and make them also see the truth.
(292, 35 - 36)
24. Like the river that flows
headlong for the sea, wiping away all
before it, so shall the torrent formed
by the spiritualist multitudes that none
can impede, for its strength will be
invincible, and any who might wish to
place themselves as obstacles will be
carried away by the current.
25. Who on earth could have the
power to detain the evolution of the
spirits, or the course of the designs of
God? None. The only Being of
absolute power and justice is your
Father, and He has ordered that each
spirit advance toward perfection.
26. If at moments My Divine laws
have been disobeyed by men, I shall
make My voice be heard like the echo
of a clamoring bell even by those
dead to the spiritual life. (256, 40 -
42)
27. When humanity knows My
teaching, and penetrates its meaning,
they will put their confidence in it and
confirm themselves in the belief that it
is the right road: a guide for all who
yearn to live in justice, love, and
respect for their fellow men.
28. When this doctrine has settled in
the hearts of men, home life will be
enlightened, fortifying the parents in
virtue, married couples in faithfulness
to each other, children in obedience; it
shall fill the wisdom of teachers,
make leaders magnanimous, and
inspire judges to do real justice;
scientists shall be enlightened, and
that light shall reveal great secrets for
the good of humanity and their
spiritual evolution. And thus shall a
new Era of peace and progress begin.
(349, 35)
The Acceptance of the Return of
Christ in All the World
29. When man has fallen to the
depths of the abyss, and tired of
struggle and suffering, no longer has
the strength to save himself,
marveling, He shall see how springing
forth from the very depths of his
weakness, his desperation, and his
disillusion, shall come an unknown
Chapter 56 - Triumph and Recognition of the Spiritual Work of Christ
468
force that emanates from the spirit,
which upon seeing that the hour of its
liberation has arrived, shall take wing
and rise from the ruins of a world of
vanities, selfishness, and lies to say:
"There is Jesus, the repudiated one.
He lives. In vain have we wished to
kill him every day and at every step;
[yet] He lives, and comes to save us
and give us all his love." (154, 54)
30. Truly I tell you that just as the
kings in the past were amazed at the
humble manner in which I was born,
people of this Era will also be amazed
at the humble manner in which I
chose to manifest Myself. (307, 52)
31. Humanity is now in a stage of
preparation. It is My justice that
prepares them without men yet
realizing it because, in their
arrogance, in their materialistic pride,
all the events of their lives which are
inevitable they attribute to chance.
32. But My call shall soon come to
the hearts [of men] and then, contrite,
they shall come to ask me that their
pride and their errors be pardoned.
33. This shall be the crucial hour for
the spirits of humanity, in which after
their great disillusionments, for a
moment they will feel an absolute
emptiness when they see evidenced
the falseness of their greatness, the
fragility of their power, and the
wrongness of their ideologies.
34. Yet that state of confusion shall
not last long, for by then My
emissaries will be moving forward,
disseminating My new message.
35. Again, just as in past times when
My missionaries advanced from east
to west spreading the knowledge of
My word, in this time My envoys will
return to this world, taking the light of
this message to peoples and homes.
36. Will it seem strange to men that
this time My light moves from west to
east? Shall they for this reason reject
the message carried to them by My
bearers in My name? (334, 42 - 45)
37. There are entire races that do not
accept Me, there are peoples who
stubbornly distance themselves from
My laws; who persist in not knowing
My Doctrine, or in opposing it after
judging it inappropriate for these
times.
38. They are those who have not
understood Me, who have remained
stubborn in their earthly liberties, and
who many times practice good for
their own convenience and not for the
elevation of the spirit.
39. But for each people and each
race, My justice and My trials are
ready, and they shall be coming day
by day finally to fortify their hearts
and spirits as though they were fields
to be planted; and when they are
prepared, My seed, the eternal seed of
My love, My justice, and My light,
will be planted in their bosom.
40. And those peoples will speak of
Me with love, those races will be born
to hope in Me, and there shall be
hymns in the spirits of all the peoples
of this humanity, choruses of praise
and love for the one Lord of all men.
(328, 12)
469
Chapter 57 - Reversion and Renewal in all Human Areas
New and More Profound
Knowledge
1. The time draws near in which the
spiritual revelations will disclose to
mankind the shining path to reach and
know the Mysteries which are
concealed in the bosom of Creation.
2. The light of My Spirit will reveal
to you the manner of obtaining the
true science which will permit man to
be recognized and obeyed by the
creatures that surround you. and by
the elements of Creation, thus
fulfilling in this way My will that man
would be lord on the earth, but that
will take place when the spirit of man
illuminated by its conscience, will
exercise its power and its light over
the weaknesses of the flesh. (22, 19)
3. The day when men will
understand the importance of the
spirit is near, for many men,
believing, do not believe, and others
seeing, do not see. Yet, when they
touch the truth, they will recognize
that it would be childish, unfair, and
senseless to continue sustaining a
being that belongs to another life with
the fruits of this world.
4. Then they shall seek the light in
their religions, and in their anguish
and anxiety to find the truth, they
shall go about abolishing what is false
in their doctrines, and destroying all
that is superficial and external in their
various cults, until they discover the
Divine essence. (103, 42)
5. Mankind will certainly get tired of
sowing hatred, violence and egotism.
Each seed of hatred that they sow will
multiply against them in such a way
that their strength will not be enough
to gather its harvest.
6. This result, unforeseen and
superior to their human power, will
detain them in their frenzied and
senseless journey. Afterward I will
perform a miracle in each heart by
allowing charity to emanate where
there was only egotism.
7. Men will again attribute to
themselves all perfection, knowledge
and justice. They will remember that
Jesus said: The leaf of a tree does not
move without the Fathers will,
because today, according to the
feeling of the world, the leaf of a tree,
all beings and the stars move by
chance. (71, 30)
8. When My voice is heard by
humanity in spiritual form, men shall
feel the vibration of something that
has always been inside them but
without the power to freely manifest
itself; it will be the spirit, animated by
the voice of its Lord, that rises up to
answer My call.
9. Then a new Era shall begin on
earth, for you shall cease to see life
from below, and begin to see it, to
know and enjoy it, from the heights of
your spiritual elevation. (321, 38 - 39)
10. When it is no longer the mind
that leads the spirit in observing or
Chapter 57 - Reversion and Renewal in all Human Areas
470
understanding science, but the spirit
that elevates and guides the mind,
men will discover things that are
unfathomable to them now, but which
are in fact destined to be revealed
when men have spiritualized their
intelligence. (295, 37)
11. I have told you that the moment
will come when the light shall shine
from everywhere, in all lands and all
continents. That light will shine
according to the spiritual preparation
of man, and through it a new and
more accurate idea of creation will be
formed, a new stage of spiritual
evolution. (200, 41)
12. When men come to think
universally of love, each person will
then try to perfect themselves, to
comply, and to serve others better. All
fear of punishment will be
unnecessary, man will not comply
from fear, but from conviction; it is
then that humanity will have evolved
spiritually, and in his intelligence.
(291, 25)
15. That doctrine, expounded in a
more spiritual form than in past times,
shall have to struggle between men,
peoples, religions, and sects to open a
passageway and establish itself; yet,
when the time of confusion has
passed, the peace shall come to men,
and they will enjoy finding in My
word the contents it has always held.
16. The concept of My divinity, of
the spiritual life, and of the purpose of
your existence shall begin to follow
the true path, for each man shall be a
good interpreter of what has been told
him in parable and in a figurative
sense by your Master, and by his
envoys and prophets.
17. That language was understood
only in part by men; it was the lesson
assigned to them according to their
mental and spiritual capacity, but
they, wishing to know all, became
confused, giving it material
interpretations to what can only be
analyzed in spiritual form. (329, 22 -
26)
Instruction through Human Envoys
of God
18. I have promised to send the great
spirits of light to live among you; they
await only the moment to come to
earth to be made flesh and fulfill a
great mission of restoration.
19. What will you need to teach
these beings when they come to
inhabit this world? Nothing, truly I
tell you, for they shall come to teach,
not to learn.
20. You shall marvel to hear them
speaking even in childhood of
profound teachings, sustaining
conversations with the men of science
and the theologians, startling the aged
with their experience, and counseling
the children and the young toward the
good path.
21. Blessed shall be the home that
receives one of these spirits in its
bosom, and how grave shall be the
charges against those who try to
impede the fulfillment of the missions
of My envoys. (238, 30 - 31)
Chapter 57 - Reversion and Renewal in all Human Areas
471
22. I tell you again, that there shall
be no lack in the world of men
bearing great light to illuminate your
path and sow your lives with love.
23. Humanity has always had the
presence of these men on earth, and
the time nears when great legions of
these spirits of great light come to the
earth to destroy the false world you
have created, and to erect a new one,
where men breathe peace, and truth
reigns.
24. They shall suffer greatly caused
by the evil of men, but that will be
nothing new, for none of the envoys
of God has escaped persecution,
mockery, and offenses. They shall
have to come to the world and dwell
in it, for their presence is necessary on
earth.
25. They shall come calling with
love to the heart of humanity; their
word, impregnated with the justice of
the Father, shall touch the pride and
arrogance of all who have exchanged
the vestments of humility of the spirit,
for the robes of vanity, pride, false
power, and false greatness.
26. Those shall be the first to stand
pointing with a finger trembling from
rage at My envoys; but this shall
mean merely that in each trial to
which My envoys are submitted, these
can give great testimony of the truth
they have brought to the world.
27. You do not now know in what
walks of human life they will appear,
but I tell you that some shall appear in
the bosom of the great religions; they
will struggle for the unification and
spiritual harmony of all men.
28. Others shall arise from among
the men of science to show with the
fruit of their inspirations that the true
purpose of science is the spiritual
perfection of man, and not his misery
and destruction.
29. And so, in every walk of life My
servants shall appear bearing My Law
in their hearts and testifying in word
and deed to what I have come to
speak to you of in this era. (255, 43 -
47)
The Metamorphoses of Human
Beings
30. I am prophesying a new world
for you, and a humanity made
spiritual - and again, when this Word
is known, it will not be believed.
31. Generations and generations
shall pass; the arrogance of men shall
unleash tempests and floods, pests and
plagues, and the cry of humanity shall
move the heavens.
32. Yet, after all this, the new
inhabitants shall begin a life of
reflection and spirituality, making use
of the immense body of experience
that past generations have left to
them, and the Divine seed shall begin
to germinate.
33. In each spirit exists a germ of the
Divine, for it sprang from Me, and
just as your children inherit the looks
or the characteristics of their parents,
the spirits too, shall in the end reveal
that which they have inherited from
their Celestial Father, which is love.
(320, 9 - 11)
Chapter 57 - Reversion and Renewal in all Human Areas
472
34. After the new flood, the rainbow
shall shine as a symbol of peace and a
new pact man will make spiritually
with its Lord.
35. You should expect the struggle
to be great, for all of you shall need to
fight against the dragon of evil whose
weapons are ambition, hatred, earthly
power, lust, vanity, selfishness, lies,
idolatry, and fanaticism; all being the
forces of evil born of the human heart,
and against which you must fight with
great courage and faith until you have
defeated them.
36. When the dragon of your
passions has been killed by your arms
of light, a new world shall appear to
men: a new world, being the same
one, but which shall seem more
beautiful, for men will then know how
to take it for their good and their
progress, endowing each of their
works with the ideal of spirituality.
37. Hearts shall be ennobled, the
minds shall have light, and the spirit
will know how to manifest its
presence. All that is good shall
prosper, and all that is elevated shall
serve as the seed for human works.
(352, 61 - 64)
38. Man has descended deep into an
abyss and even to there the conscience
has accompanied him, waiting for the
propitious moment to be heard. Soon
that voice shall be heard in the world
with such great a force that you
cannot imagine now.
39. But it will make mankind come
out of their abyss of pride,
materialism and sin, to be cleansed in
the waters of repentance and begin to
elevate themselves toward the path of
spirituality.
40. I will help all My children
because I am the resurrection and the
life who comes to lift the dead from
their tombs.
41. In this existence that I now come
to offer mankind, men will abide by
My will renouncing their freedom of
will through love, persuaded by the
fact that He who abides by the will of
the Father is not a servant nor a slave,
but a true son of God. Then you will
know a true happiness and a perfect
peace, which are the fruit of love and
wisdom. (79, 32)
42. I tell you that in this, the Third
Era, though it seems impossible to
you, the regeneration and salvation of
humanity shall not be difficult, for the
task of redemption is a Divine Work.
43. My love shall be that which
returns men to the road of light and
truth. My love subtly entering each
heart, caressing each spirit,
manifesting itself through each
conscience, shall transform the
hardest rocks into sensitive hearts; it
shall make spiritualized beings of
materialistic men, and of hardened
sinners men of righteousness, peace,
and good will.
44. I speak to you in this way
because none know better than I the
evolution of your spirits; and
humanity, in spite of its great
materialism, its love for the world,
and its passions developed to the
greatest depths of sin, only in
Chapter 57 - Reversion and Renewal in all Human Areas
473
appearance lives clinging to the flesh
and material life. I know that when it
feels in its spirit the affectionate touch
of My love, it shall come to me ready
to quit itself of its burden and follow
Me on the road of truth that without
realizing, it intensely wishes to travel.
(305, 34 - 36)
45. Be alert, and you shall be the
witnesses of the conversion of those
who have ignored Me, just as you
shall see the return of those who have
parted from the path of truth.
46. Men of science who have
dedicated their lives to seeking tools
and strength for destruction, upon
feeling their judgment approach, shall
turn to the path of truth to consecrate
their last days to the moral and
material reconstruction of the world.
47. Others, who in their pride had
tried to occupy My place among the
spirits, shall descend from their
thrones to imitate Me among
humanity; and those men who at one
time agitated among the people
promoting wars, shall come to see
their errors and anxiously seek peace
between men. (108, 39)
48. When My light has penetrated all
hearts, and the men who lead the
peoples, those who teach, and all
those who fulfill the most important
missions, let themselves be guided
and inspired by the higher light that is
the conscience, then indeed can you
have hope for one another. Then can
you have faith in your brothers, for
My light will be in all, and in My light
is My presence and the justice of My
love. (358, 29)
49. My teaching shall be heard again
by humanity, however it will not be
because My Law has returned to
humanity, it has always been written
in their consciences; it shall be
because men have returned to the path
of the Law.
50. This world shall be like the
prodigal son of My parable, and like
him, it shall find its Father in his
place, waiting to embrace him with
love and seat him to sup at his table.
51. The hour for the return of
humanity to Me has not yet come,
they conserve yet a part of their
inheritance which they will have to
squander in feasting and pleasures
until they find themselves naked,
hungry, and sick before they then
raise their gaze to the Father.
52. It is necessary to concede to
those men ambitious for earthly things
some moments more for their
disillusion to be complete, so they
may finally convince themselves that
the gold, the power, the titles, and the
pleasures of the flesh will never give
them peace, or the well being of the
spirit.
53. The hour of the examination of
humanity in the light of the
conscience approaches; there shall
stand the wise, the theologians, the
scientists, the powerful, the rich, and
the judges, asking themselves with
what spiritual, moral, or material fruit
they have gathered, they can feed
mankind.
Chapter 57 - Reversion and Renewal in all Human Areas
474
54. From that instant, many shall
return to Me, recognizing that in spite
of the glory they had on earth, they
lacked something to fill the emptiness
into which their spirits, which can
only be sustained with the fruits of the
spiritual life, had fallen. (173, 19 - 20
and 57 - 58)
55. From the men of today, lacking
in spirituality and love, I shall make
spring the generations often
prophesized by My word; but first I
shall prepare these peoples who today
ignore and who make war and destroy
each other.
56. And when the action of My
justice has passed over all, and the
weeds have been uprooted, a new
humanity shall arise, no longer
bearing the seeds of discord, hatred,
and envy in their blood, for the blood
of their Fathers will have been
purified in the crucible of pain and
repentance.
57. I shall receive them, and tell
them as I did in the Second Era: "Ask,
ask and ye shall be given." Yet, now I
will add: Know how to ask. (333, 54)
Transformations and Revolutions
in all Areas of Life
58. The material world, the planet, is
not near to its disintegration; but the
end of the world of sin and error, of
darkness and bad science, shall come
to an end with the light of My
doctrine, and upon its ruins I shall
raise up a new world of progress and
peace. (135, 5)
59. Great will be the change that
mankind will suffer in a short while:
institutions, principles, beliefs,
doctrines, customs, laws, and all
orders of the human existence will be
shaken from their very foundations.
(73, 3)
60. All men, races, and nations will
respond to the Divine call. They will
listen once the spirit of man becomes
weary of being a prisoner on earth.
The spirit will arise and break the
chains of materialism in order to
proclaim its spiritual freedom. (297,
66)
61. The time will come when men
will arise who truly love My Law,
those who will know how to join the
spiritual law with that of the world,
the eternal power with the temporal.
62. Yet, it shall not be in order to
enslave spirits, as in times past, but to
show them the road to the light, which
is the true liberty of the spirit.
63. Then shall morality return to the
bosom of the home; there shall be
truth in the institutions and spirituality
in your customs. It shall be the time in
which the conscience makes its voice
heard and in which My children
communicate from spirit to Spirit with
My Divinity, where the races are
joined.
64. And all of this shall decide the
disappearance of many differences
and conflicts, because up until now, in
spite of the small size of your world,
you have not known how to live as a
Chapter 57 - Reversion and Renewal in all Human Areas
475
single family, and have not been able
to offer me unified worship.
65. Ancient Babel condemned you to
this division of the peoples and races,
but the construction of My spiritual
temple in the hearts of humanity shall
free you from that restitution and
bring you to love one another truly.
(87, 10)
66. A time will come when the
desire of humanity for spiritual
elevation shall be so fervent that they
will dedicate every means at their
disposal toward transforming this vale
of tears into a world where harmony
reigns, that will do even the
impossible, making superhuman
efforts and sacrifices, to reject war.
67. It will be those men that elevate
this world, those who take from
humanity their cup of bitterness, who
rebuild all that previous generations
have destroyed in their blind
ambition, their materialism, and their
senselessness.
68. They shall be the ones who
beware true worship for Me, that
worship which bears neither
fanaticism nor outward and
superfluous acts. They shall try to
make humanity understand that the
harmony between human and spiritual
laws, and their fulfillment, is the best
worship men can offer God. (297, 68 -
69)
69. The time of rites, of bells and
altars of bronze, shall now pass from
humanity. Idolatry and religious
fanaticism shall give their final signs
of life, and the time of struggle and
chaos that I have been announcing
shall come.
70. And when, after the storm, peace
has returned to the spirits, men will no
longer build palaces in My honor, nor
shall the crowds be called with voices
of bronze, nor shall the men who
think themselves great hold their
power over the multitudes. The time
of humility, fraternity, and spirituality
will come, bringing with it an equality
of gifts for mankind, (302, 37)
71. The reaper is here in this era,
bearing the mission of felling all the
trees that do not bear good fruit. In
that great struggle, only justice and
truth will prevail.
72. Many of the churches will
vanish, though some will stand. In
some truth will shine forth in
splendor, while others will offer only
imposture, yet the scythe of justice
shall continue cutting until all of the
seed that remains on earth is selected.
(200, 11)
73. This is the continuation of My
lessons, but not the end of time as
understood by men. The world will
continue spinning in space; spirits will
continue to arrive on earth to be made
flesh and fulfill their destinies; and
men will continue populating this
planet, only humanity's way of life
will change.
74. The transformations that human
life undergoes shall be great, so much
so, that it will seem that a world has
Chapter 57 - Reversion and Renewal in all Human Areas
476
ended and another been born. (117,
14)
75. That is what all of you walk
toward: toward that life of serenity
and peace, not toward the abyss, or
death, as you currently forebode in
your hearts.
76. It is true that you must yet drink
much bitterness before the time of
your spirituality arrives, but it shall
not be death, nor war, nor pestilence,
nor hunger that halt the course of your
lives or the spiritual evolution of this
humanity. I am stronger than death,
and so I will return your lives to you
if you die, and make you return to
earth whenever necessary.
77. There is much yet to reveal to
you, beloved humanity. There are yet
many surprises in My arcane. (326,
54)
My peace be with you !
477
Chapter 58 - The Kingdom of the Peace of Christ
and the Culmination of Creation
The Determining Power in the
Kingdom of the Peace of Christ
1. Just as I announced these bitter
times to you, I also say to you that
once this confusion has passed,
harmony will come among humanity.
2. Those beings who are proud, vain,
and who lack charity and justice will
remain for awhile in the spiritual
valley in order for goodness, peace
and justice to progress on earth, thus
allowing spirituality and science to
flourish. (50, 39 - 40)
3. In the lives of men, evil has
always been ahead of good, but again
I tell you, that evil shall not prevail,
My law of love and justice shall reign
over humanity. (113, 32)
4. The spirits incarnated in those
days shall, in their majority, be
faithful to the good, so much so that
when men who are inclined to evil
arise, no matter how strong they
might be, will be forced to bend
before the light of truth that the
majority present to them. Very
different from that which occurs
today, when being more numerous,
the twisted ones have made of evil a
force which suffocates, pollutes, and
immobilizes the good ones. (292, 55)
5. Then, oh, My disciples, the New
Jerusalem shall be in the hearts of
men. You shall reach high levels of
spirituality, and I shall send to
incarnate among you not only the
greatly evolved spirits to bring you
My messages, but also the spirits
needful of your virtue, who upon
finding themselves among you shall
cleanse themselves of their sins.
6. In those times, the opposite shall
occur of that which does today, when
I send you clean spirits and you return
them soiled. (318, 46)
The New Man
7. Men will surge from the scum, the
mire, and the sin to Law and virtue,
and will walk along the roads of love
and grace. My Spirit will be felt
everywhere, every eye shall see Me,
every ear will hear Me and every
mind will understand My revelations
and inspirations.
8. Men regarded as slow to
comprehend and rude will suddenly
become illuminated and converted
into My prophets; from their lips will
pour forth words which will be like
crystalline water upon they withered
hearts.
9. The prophets will take that water
from the fountain of wisdom and truth
which is I, and there they will find
health, purity and eternal life. (68, 38
- 39)
10. My Kingdom is reserved to the
sons of good will, who embrace their
cross from love of their Father and
their fellow men. That Kingdom of
which I speak is not in any one place,
Chapter 58 - The Kingdom of the Peace of Christ and the Culmination of Creation
478
but can be found in the world which
you inhabit, just as in any of the
spiritual mansions, for My Kingdom
is formed of peace, light, grace,
power, and harmony. All of these
things you may achieve, though only
partly, in this life full spirituality you
will achieve only beyond this world
you now inhabit. (108, 32)
11. In truth, I tell you, if men today
are more material than spiritual,
tomorrow they will be more spiritual
than material.
12. Men have tried to materialize
their spirit completely, but that
complete materialization they will not
accomplish, because the spirit is like a
diamond, and a diamond never ceases
to be one, even when it falls into the
mire. (230, 54)
13. Men, without giving up their
duties and missions in the world, will
put their science, their strength, their
talent, and their hearts into the service
of My Divine cause. They will seek
the healthy pleasures, those that are
good for both the spirit and the
material. They will fight for their
regeneration and for their freedom,
and they will not pollute themselves
or take what is not necessary to them.
And that is when evil and
frivolousness shall disappear from the
earth; the spirit will have achieved its
complete dominion over its shell, and
while still inhabiting the material
form, will create a spiritual life of
love, brotherhood, and peace.
14. That shall be the time when wars
disappear, when there is respect and
charity towards one another, when
you realize that you cannot dispose of
the life of another, nor even of your
own; you will then know that you are
not the owners of your own life, nor
of those of your spouses and children,
nor of this earth; rather, it is I who am
the owner of all Creation; however,
because you are My beloved children,
all that is Mine, you too possess.
15. And I, being owner and holder of
all things created, am unable to kill
My creatures: to hurt or wound any
one of them. Why then, do those who
are not the owners of life take what is
not theirs to dispose of?
16. When this teaching has been
understood by men, they will have
taken a step upward in their spiritual
evolution, and this world will be the
dwelling of advanced spirits.
17. You do not know if after this
time you will return to inhabit this
planet. I shall mark those who shall
have to see those times of grace, those
who will have to come to behold this
valley which was in another age a
vale of tears, destruction, and death.
18. Those seas, those forests, and
those fields that were the witnesses of
such pain, shall thereafter be
converted into a dwelling of peace,
into an image of the Beyond.
19. I have proclaimed to you that
when the battles cease, My Kingdom
will be near to you; that your spirits
will then flower in virtues, My
Doctrine shall be present in all spirits,
and I will manifest Myself through the
Chapter 58 - The Kingdom of the Peace of Christ and the Culmination of Creation
479
channel of men and women. (231, 28
- 30)
20. I have prepared an Era in which
humanity shall rise up in obedience,
and when the children of your
children will behold the greatness that
I shall pour forth over this earth.
21. In this world, which I gave to
you as an earthly paradise, My will
must be done, and a time will come
when the spirits that have greatly
battled and greatly evolved will come
to this planet, and My Divine light
will bathe the earth; and in it will be
the fulfillment of My Law. (363, 44)
The Earth as Promised Land and
Reflection of the Kingdom of
Heaven
22. This world, profaned by sin,
stained by crimes, and marred by
greed and hatred, must recover its
purity. Human life, which has been a
ceaseless struggle between good and
evil, shall be the home of the children
of God, a home of peace,
brotherhood, understanding, and
noble yearnings; however, to reach
that ideal, it is necessary for men to
pass through trials that awaken them
from their spiritual lethargy. (169, 14)
23. I shall not raise a new world
upon sin, hatred and vice; I will raise
it upon a firm foundation of
regeneration, experience and
repentance; I will transform it all
through you. Light will emanate from
the very darkness, and from death I
will make life pour out.
24. If men have blemished and
polluted the earth, tomorrow with
their deeds they shall dignify this
mansion, the one that will be regarded
as a Promised Land, so as to enter it
and carry out noble missions. Who
will then doubt the conversion of the
world? (82, 44 - 45)
25. I am building a temple of the
Holy Spirit, and when it has been
constructed, the gathering places,
temples, and sanctuaries will have
ceased to exist, or will have lost their
reason for existing, as will their
symbols, rites, and traditions. That
will be when you feel My presence
and My greatness, you shall recognize
that your temple is the universe, and
as your form of worship, the love of
your fellow men.
26. From the bosom of mother
nature new lights shall spring forth,
which will transform your science
into a road of bonanzas, for it shall be
channeled by the conscience, which is
the voice of God.
27. The brain shall no longer be the
master of the world, but will
collaborate with the spirit, which will
guide and enlighten it. (126, 35 - 36)
28. When the world reaches its new
liberation, and guided by the light of
Elijah comes into that good and just
life, you will have here on the earth a
reflection of the spiritual life that
awaits you beyond this life in which
you will enjoy eternally the peace and
the light of your Father.
Chapter 58 - The Kingdom of the Peace of Christ and the Culmination of Creation
480
29. Yet, if you ask how all the
nations of the world can come to unite
in one single people like those of the
tribes that made up the people of
Israel, I will tell you: Do not fear, for
once carried into the desert, the trials
themselves will unite them, and when
that comes to pass, a new manna shall
fall from the heavens to each of the
needy hearts. (160, 39)
30. Just as the people of Israel
shared out the Promised Land, so too
shall humanity share the earth. That
will happen when the time is right,
after the purification. As it is My will
that sharing out, in it there shall be
justice and fairness, so that all men
may work together in one single
work. (154, 49)
31. Think of the advancement of a
humanity whose morality proceeds
from spirituality; imagine a humanity
without borders or limits, sharing like
brothers all the means of life that the
earth offers its children.
32. Try to imagine what human
science will be, when it has as its
ideal the love of one another, and
when man obtains the knowledge He
seeks through prayer.
33. Think of how pleasing to Me it
will be to receive from men a worship
made of the love, the faith, the
obedience, and the humility shown by
their lives, without the need to resort
to rites or outward forms of worship.
34. That will truly be a life for men,
within which they will breathe peace,
enjoy liberty, and sustain themselves
only with that which contains truth.
(315, 57 - 58)
35. The sins of men will have been
erased, and all will seem as new. A
light of purity and virginity shall
illuminate all creatures, a new
harmony will greet that humanity, and
it is then that a hymn of love that I
have so long awaited will ascend to
their Lord from the spirits of men.
36. Mother earth, which has been
profaned since the first times by her
children, shall cover herself in her
most beautiful adornments, and men
shall no longer name it a vale of tears,
nor to convert it into a field of blood
and death.
37. This world shall be like a small
sanctuary in the middle of the
Universe from which men will elevate
their spirits to the infinite in a
communication full of humility and
love for their Celestial Father.
38. My children will carry My law
imprinted upon their spirit and My
word upon their heart, and if
humanity in times past found pleasure
in evil, and enjoyed sin, yet in these
times they will have no other ideal but
goodness, nor find any greater
pleasure than to go forward upon My
path.
39. Yet, do not think that because of
this man will give up his science or
his civilization, hiding in the valleys
and mountains to make for himself a
primitive life; no, He will have yet to
taste the fruits of the tree of science
that He has cultivated with such
Chapter 58 - The Kingdom of the Peace of Christ and the Culmination of Creation
481
interest, and when his spirituality is
greater, so too will be his science.
40. Yet, at the end of time, when
man has traveled all the road, and has
plucked the last fruit from the tree, He
shall recognize the pettiness of his
works which before seemed to him so
grand, and He shall understand and
feel the spiritual life, and through it,
admire as never before the work of
the Creator. For inspiration He shall
receive the great revelations, and his
life shall be a return to simplicity, to
naturalness, and to spirituality. There
is time before that day arrives, and yet
all My children shall see it. (111, 12 -
14)
The Consummation of Creation
41. I am preparing the valley where
all My children must unite for the
Great Universal Judgment. I shall
judge with perfection, My love and
charity shall envelope humanity, and
on that day you shall find salvation
and the balm for your ills.
42. If today you atone for your
faults, allow your spirit to purify!
Thusly will you be prepared to receive
from Me the inheritance that I have
destined for each of you. (237, 6)
43. My love will unite all men and
all the worlds. Before me will
disappear the differences in races,
languages and lineages and even the
differences which exist in the spiritual
evolution. (60, 95)
44. My Spirit has poured out over
every spirit, and My angels are sown
all over the universe, fulfilling My
mandate of putting all in order and
bringing all again to its [proper]
channels. And when all have fulfilled
their missions, ignorance will have
disappeared, evil will no longer exist,
and only good will reign over this
planet. (120, 47)
45. All of the worlds in which My
children are perfecting themselves are
like an infinite garden; today you are
tender bushes, but I promise you that
the crystalline waters of My teachings
will not be lacking, and with its
watering you shall continue growing
in wisdom and love, until one day in
eternity, when the trees are crowned
with fully mature fruit, the Divine
Gardner shall revel in his work,
tasting the fruits of his own love.
(314, 34)
46. I wish that at the end of the
struggle, when all My children have
reunited to spend eternity in the
spiritual home, they shall participate
in My infinite happiness as the
Creator, taking into account that each
of you have taken part in the Divine
Work, building, or rebuilding.
47. Only in the spiritual will you
discover that of all that I have created
since the beginning, nothing has been
lost, that in Me all lives again, all
grows, and is renewed.
48. And so, if so many beings were
for so long lost, if many, instead of
works of life created works of
destruction, they shall find that the
time of their disturbance was fleeting,
Chapter 58 - The Kingdom of the Peace of Christ and the Culmination of Creation
482
and their works, as bad as they were,
shall find repair in the eternal life, to
be made into collaborators of My
unceasingly creative Work.
49. What are a few centuries of sin
and darkness, such as humanity has
had on earth, if you compare them to
eternity, with the endless time of
evolution and peace? You have parted
from Me, by means of your free will,
and you shall return induced by the
conscience. (317, 17 - 20)
50. This world is not eternal, nor is it
necessary that it be so. When this
dwelling ceases to have the reason it
now has to exist, it will disappear.
51. When your spirit no longer needs
the lessons that this life gives, because
other more elevated lessons await it in
another world, then, with the light
acquired in this struggle, it will say,
"How clearly I understand now that
all the vicissitudes of this life were
only experiences and lessons that I
needed in order to understand better.
How long this journey appeared to me
in the moments when suffering
drained My strength, but now, in
contrast, when all is in the past, how
brief and fleeting it appears before
eternity. (230. 47)
52. I have received tribute from all
Creation, from the greatest of
heavenly bodies to the beings least
perceptible to your gaze.
53. All is subject to evolution, all
moves, all progresses. All is
transformed, elevated, and perfected.
54. When it has reached the peak of
perfection, My spiritual smile, like an
infinite aurora, shall be in all the
universe, from which all stains, all
misery, all pain, and all imperfection
will have passed. (254, 28)
The Song of Praise for the restored
Harmony of Creation
55. In My Spirit there is a hymn
whose notes none have heard, it is
unknown to any in heaven or earth.
56. That song shall be heard in all
the universe when pain, misery,
darkness, and sin have been
extinguished.
57. Those Divine notes shall find
echo in all spirits, joining the Father
and the children in that song of
harmony and happiness. (219, 13)
58. I wish to raise Myself triumphant
in you, I wish you to behold the King
of Armies as your Father, victorious
over your evil; and yourselves as
soldiers filled with spiritual dignity,
filled with satisfaction and peace.
59. Then shall you hear the hymn of
universal harmony in the greatest of
victories, the triumph that must come,
but of which neither your Father, nor
you, shall be offended to be a
conqueror through your love.
60. Our defeated [enemies] shall not
be the spirits, but evil, all darkness,
and all sin and imperfections.
61. The victory of the Father shall be
in the salvation of all the backward
spirits mired in darkness and evil.
62. You are mistaken if you believe
any will be lost; I would cease to be
Chapter 58 - The Kingdom of the Peace of Christ and the Culmination of Creation
483
God if even one spirit did not find
salvation.
63. All those whom you call
demons, are also spirits who sprang
from the Father, and if today they are
in confusion, they too shall find
salvation.
64. When shall the true light be in
them? When you, united to the
legions of the spirits of the light,
combat their ignorance and sin with
your prayer and with your works of
love and charity.
65. The perfect happiness for both
you and the Father will be the great
day of the Lord. The universal feast
shall be when all of you sup at his
table on the bread of eternal life. (327,
47 - 48)
66. Have I not told you that you are
the heirs to My Glory? You need only
to earn merit for it to be yours to
enjoy.
67. All that I have created has not
been for Me, but for My children. I
only long for your enjoyment and
your eternal happiness. (18, 60 - 61)
68. All of the energy that has
animated the beings and given life to
the organisms, and all the light that
has illuminated the worlds shall return
to Me; and all the beauty spilled out
over the realms of creation shall be in
the Spirit of the Father. And once
within Me again, that life shall be
transformed to a spiritual essence that
will be poured out once more over the
spiritual beings, the children of the
Lord, for you shall never be
disinherited of the gifts I have given
you.
69. Wisdom, eternal life, harmony,
infinite beauty, kindness, all this and
more, will be in all children of the
Lord when they dwell with Him in the
perfect mansion. (18, 54 - 56)
My peace be with you !

XIV. The Missionary Calling
Chapter 59 - The Call to spread the New Word of God
Instructions for compiling Books,
Extracts, and Translations
1. This is the time foretold in which
I would speak to mankind and I want
you to form volumes of this word that
I have given you, in fulfillment of My
prophecies, afterward you will make
extracts and analysis of it, and make it
known to your brethren. (6, 52)
2. Form a book of My word. Extract
from it the essence, so that you may
have a true concept of the purity of
My Doctrine. In the word transmitted
by the speaker you may find errors,
but not in its essence.
3. My interpreters have not always
been prepared; for that reason I have
told you not to see their words
superficially, but rather to penetrate to
their meaning, to find their perfection.
Pray and meditate so that you may
understand them. (174, 30)
4. I brought you this word and had
you hear it in your language, but I
give you the mission of translating it
later into other languages in order that
it might be known by all.
5. In this manner you will begin to
build the true tower of Israel, the one
which will spiritually unite all nations
into one, the one which will unite all
men in that Divine, unchangeable, and
eternal law, which in the world you
came to know through the lips of
Jesus when He told you: Love one
another. (34, 59 - 60)
6. When the books are formed which
will be extended throughout the
world, I want My word to be printed
without any blemish, as pure as it
originated from Me.
7. If in that manner you allow it to
reach your books, a light will emerge
from it which will illuminate mankind
and its essence will be felt and
understood by all men. (19, 47 - 48)
8. I commend to you My teaching,
for you to give it to your brothers just
as it was given to you. Never,
however, argue violently when you
teach it. Beware of censuring what
you do not know, and understand that
a clean example shall be sufficient to
convert men to spirituality. (174, 66)
9. Prepare yourselves to carry the
good news, which will be taken up
gladly by many.
10. Although many of them will
accept if with great joy, some will not.
They will tell you that they have all
that they need with the revelations of
God from the First Era and those from
the Second Era.
11. That is when your lips, moved
and inspired by Me, will say to the
disbelieving men that it is necessary
to know the new revelation in order to
Chapter 59 - The Call to spread the New Word of God
486
behold the truth awarded to men in
past times. (292, 67)
The Right to Knowledge of the New
Word of God
12. My beloved people: It is
necessary for you to struggle to your
feet on the various roads of the earth,
for I see that even in the Mexican
nation, many have not recognized My
Work.
13. See that in the world there are
already those who although they are
impoverished in spirit, say they go in
My name.
14. And what should you, who have
been filled with My Divinity, do?
Spread My Doctrine, do not hide from
the world nor deny it the charity it
needs. (341, 16)
15. Here I prepared you quietly; later
the time will come when you have to
go out to prepare the roads so that My
word comes to all hearts.
16. By then, the world will have
been purified through pain, and My
word will seem not like an unknown
language, but like something that the
heart and spirit can easily feel and
understand.
17. I am giving you the book that
speaks of truth and love for you to
carry to all humanity.
18. There is no people on earth to
whom I can tell you not to go because
they do not need this revelation. What
people can say that they are truly
Christian, not in name only, but in
their love, their charity, and their
forgiveness? Which nation can show
its spirituality? In what part of the
world do they love one another?
Where do men truly follow the
teachings of Christ? (124, 15 - 16)
19. When this message has
concluded I will cease speaking
through these channels, and manifest
Myself then subtly within the spirits.
20. But My word, engraved on the
hearts of those who hear it, and
written in a new book, shall be carried
to the peoples and nations of the
world as the seed of peace, as the light
of true science, and as the balm for
the evil that wounds the bodies and
spirits of humanity.
21. My word shall not come to the
hearts when My emissaries wish it,
but when My Will decides it; for it is I
who watch over My seed, who
prepares the soil and who opens the
way for it. It shall be I who makes it
arrive wisely, at the right moment, to
peoples, nations, and homes.
22. It shall come to them when they
are already awaiting it, when their
hearts, remembering My promises, are
vigilant; and when they have awoken
from their deep dream of pride,
greatness, materialism, and vanity.
(315, 28 - 29)
23. I shall give My people the means
to take My message to all nations. I
shall permit them to find on their way
men of good will who shall aid them
in bearing My messages till the ends
of the earth. (323, 75)
Chapter 59 - The Call to spread the New Word of God
487
24. Through you the Law shall be
given again to the new generations.
That is why 1 have told you that you
must be prepared, for you have come
to prepare the road, so that the new
generations of tomorrow are not
idolatrous, and so that false prophets
do not rise up among them to mislead
humanity.
25. You must reveal all this to the
world, oh Israel. In this time in which
different ideologies have arisen, sect
shall rise up against sect, and religion
shall struggle against religion, nor
shall they recognize you.
26. Yet, being the children of the
light and of peace, you shall say to
them that the truth exists in the
contents of the Third Testament, and
that in it also is the testimony of My
presence and the coming of the Lord
in this era.
27. You shall show humanity this
Book, and give testimony of its truth
with your fulfillment of My Law.
(348, 42 - 43)
Instructions for the Spread of
Spiritualism
28. Understand, people: that as
witnesses to the Divine manifestation
in this, the Third Era, you have the
mission of extending this message in
all truth and faithfulness; that you
have been called and chosen to bear
the Good News to humanity, showing
your brothers the spiritual path, the
only one that leads you to peace, true
light, and universal fraternity. (270,
10)
29. Have patience and
understanding; it is not you that
humanity must recognize, but My
work and My doctrine, and they are
eternal. Your mission is to bear with
these words and deeds, the message
that reveals to men the way to take a
step toward perfection. (84, 11)
30. Build on firm ground so that the
unbelievers do not come and destroy
the spirituality and regeneration which
I have raised in you.
31. But do not hide yourselves from
fear of the world. You must show this
truth to the world in the light of day.
Do not, in this time, seek out the
catacombs in which to pray and love
Me.
32. Do not weaken in any way when
speaking or giving testimony of Me,
for men will deny that I
communicated with you. They will
doubt that the multitudes of the sick
and impoverished were cured and
comforted in their sorrows; they will
deny the prodigies I performed to
ignite your faith.
33. I will leave you the book of My
teachings, so that you can say to the
world: "Here is the legacy of the
Master." And truly, how many
hearing the reading of My words will
believe, and how many sinners will
reform!
34. Remember all these teachings so
that the trials will not surprise you in
your lives. (246, 69 - 70)
35. How many doctrines, and how
many cults of God, and new ideas
Chapter 59 - The Call to spread the New Word of God
488
about the spiritual and human life,
you will discover. Each will show
you, if you know how to understand
and analyze it, one part that is good
and just, and another that is mistaken
and distant from the truth, which is
justice, love, and perfection.
36. Where you find errors,
ignorance, or evil, spread the essence
of My doctrine, which because it is
mine, cannot contain impure or
mistaken elements.
37. My Teaching is absolute, it is
complete, it is perfect. (268, 58 - 60)
38. I tell you now, that those who
truthfully spread this seed with the
grace as I conceded it to you, shall
walk in peace, the doors that have
been unopened at their call shall be
opened to them, and though they will
be opposed, they shall never be
defeated in the struggle, because their
virtue shall make them victorious
through all the trials.
39. In contrast, those who do not
listen to the voice of their conscience,
they who disobey My word and betray
Me, shall be always at the mercy of
their enemies; they shall live without
calm, and fear death. (252, 24 - 25)
40. My people: Before the wars
come to an end on earth, all spirits
will be touched by My Law of love,
although today you do not know in
what manner.
41. This message of spiritual light
will come too, but when you are
strong.
42. None will dare to say that this
Work is true unless they are
convinced of it, for none would
believe them. Yet, if your faith is
absolute, and your conviction true,
none can prevent you from bearing
the Good News to all hearts. (287, 52
- 53)
43. That is why at every step I tell
you to take care of that seed, so that it
may be you and your children who
bear this light to the peoples of the
Earth. To bring My message to all
places, I will permit you to use the
means you find convenient, as long as
your conscience tells you, that you are
on the true path. (277, 16)
My peace be with you !
489
Chapter 60 - Work in Accord with The Spirit of Christ
Qualities and Abilities needed in the
New Apostles
1. How difficult it seems for you to
make way, complying with your
mission during this period; but I say
to you that it is not difficult, because
humanity is prepared to receive My
message.
2. In all eras the weak have been
intimidated before the struggle, while
the strong have shown that the faith in
My Law overcomes everything. Your
destiny, Israel, has always been to
convey to the world new messages
and revelations, that is why
sometimes you are doubtful whether
you are believed.
3. But do not fear, take the seed
which I have entrusted to you and sow
it; you will then see how many lands
that you believed to be sterile you will
find them rich on being fertilized with
the truth of My Doctrine.
4. Do not cease to comply with your
mission because you feel unworthy;
verily I say to you that He who
knowingly violates the Law, does as
much harm as He who has a mission
and fails to give it fulfillment.
5. Do not forget that in the end the
Father will come to demand what you
have done wrong, as well as to what
you have failed to do; know that one
fault as well as the other will cause
your spirit to suffer.
6. Spread My Doctrine, talk to
mankind about My Word, convince
them with your deeds of love, invite
them to hear Me, and when they
arrive among the multitudes and the
light of faith is kindled in their heart, I
will name them sons of the new
people of Israel. (66, 14 - 17)
7. Those who rise from their
degradation, the scum or their egotism
to a life of service and charity toward
their brethren, I shall show them as an
example that My Doctrine has light
and grace to regenerate the sinners.
That example shall spread to all
hearts.
8. Who will not wish to be of those
who bear witness of Me? But truly I
say to you that if your actions do not
emerge truthfully from your heart,
they will not bear fruit on your
brethren, and many times you will
hear them calling you hypocrites and
false preachers; I do not want this to
happen to you.
9. You must know that during these
times it is very difficult to deceive
humanity; their spirit has awakened
and although they are lost in the
materialism of their existence, they
are sensitive to every spiritual
manifestation, and if you cannot
deceive your brethren, will you
deceive your Father?
10. Allow the love of your Master to
lodge within your being, so that you
may get to forgive your enemies, just
as He forgives you; then your heart
shall be like an anchor of salvation
among humanity. (65, 44 - 46)
Chapter 60 - Work in Accord with The Spirit of Christ
490
11. Do not feel fear before men, for
truly I say to you: I will speak through
your mouths, I will bear witness of
My word through you and its echo
will reach the confines of the earth;
the influential, the insignificant, the
heads of state, the scientists and the
theologians. (7, 37)
12. I tell you again, do not fear the
struggle, say with all naturalness to
your brothers that the Lord has been
among you.
13. Tell them that He who died on
the cross was Jesus, the body in which
Christ was hidden, the living temple
which the Word of God inhabited; but
that Christ, the Divine love, lives, and
comes in Spirit to his children to show
them the road that will take them to
their spiritual Kingdom. (88, 62 - 63)
14. Do not fear the judgment or
ridicule of sects and religions. Having
the books of the prophecies in their
hands, they are the ones who have not
interpreted them, and thus have not
known how to wait for Me. On the
other hand, you who did not know the
prophecies which spoke of My return
as the Holy Spirit, were awaiting Me.
The Third Era has already come and
humanity has not known how to
interpret the gospel. (33, 26)
15. How can you invite humanity to
reach such spirituality in an age of
such materialism and confusion?
16. Understand that your work is
difficult, that to complete it you must
be strong and patient in the contest.
17. You must work much to correct
the erroneous interpretation that has
been given to My Law and the
imperfect form in which your worship
is offered Me.
18. But you must remember that you
cannot make their concepts and
practices vary in an instant, but that to
achieve it you must sheathe
yourselves in patience and good will,
and give an example of love with your
works. (226, 60)
19. Only the clean of heart should go
to the lands and nations to expand My
message, for they will be the only
ones worthy of giving testimony to
the truth of this Work.
20. When these envoys depart for the
lands that await them all religious
fanaticism will already have been
erased from their hearts, there shall
remain in them no desire to seek
flattery or adulation, nor shall they
dare to dirty their hands with the
payment of the world for the charity
they perform.
21. They will not sell miracles, nor
put a price on love for one another.
They shall be servants, not lords.
22. The time shall come in which
you understand the greatness of true
humility, and then you shall see that
He who has known how to be a
servant has been in reality free in his
mission of doing good and sowing
charity, and that in his life, faith,
confidence, and love have
accompanied him. (278, 11 - 12)
Chapter 60 - Work in Accord with The Spirit of Christ
491
23. I tell you that you will know how
to feel when your spirit is prepared to
teach My Doctrine to your brothers,
for it will be when you have found
yourselves; you will then hear clearly
the voice of the conscience, for when
that is not within you, you cannot
truly feel Me. (169, 36)
24. Hear this word with attention and
later analyze it and sow it in the hearts
of your brothers; do not be content
merely to understand it, but speak of
it, serve as an example, and teach it
through you actions. Be intuitive, so
that you may know when is the
propitious moment to speak, and
when it is better to let your deeds give
testimony to My Doctrine.
25. I give you one language only
with which to extend My word, and
that language is spiritual love, which
will be understood by all men.
26. A language sweet to the ears and
hearts of humanity, which will go
along toppling stone by stone the
tower of Babel which has been built
up in their hearts. That is when My
justice shall cease, for all will
understand each other as brothers.
(238, 27 - 28)
27. Only when you have transformed
will I send you over the world to
spread My message, for until the
spiritualism of My disciples is real,
they shall know how to give just as
they have received from Me. (336, 38)
28. Understand that My teachings
are not limited by your concepts or
your ability to understand them. My
Divine wisdom is limitless. None can
say that He had, or had conceived of,
My revelations before I revealed them
to him.
29. While scientists try to explain
everything through knowledge of the
material, I am revealing the spiritual
life to the humble, the essential life in
which the reason and explanation for
all that exists are given.
30. From the knowledge you impart
will arise the concept that men form
of My Works. Many, from lack of
understanding, will judge My
Doctrine by your humility, just as in
the Second Era Jesus the Christ was
judged by his humble appearance and
simple clothing, and because the
twelve who followed him also showed
humility in their way of dressing. I
can tell you truly that they were not
covered in rags, but that they had
renounced material vanity because
from My teaching they had learned
which were the true values of the
spirit.
31. I tell you, disciples: when men
arise to study My Work, and seek you
out and question you, do not fall into
the temptation of believing yourselves
superior due to the knowledge you
have received from Me. The more
humble you show yourselves to be,
the more noble and worthy of trust
you will seem to them.
32. And so, from man to man the
light that dissipates fanaticism and
frees the spirit will spread. And those
who called themselves Christian
without really being so, shall know
Chapter 60 - Work in Accord with The Spirit of Christ
492
and interpret the true teachings of
Christ through this light, for it shall
give them an elevated concept of the
spiritual life of which Jesus spoke in
his teachings. (226, 17 - 21)
33. You could not go to humanity
with a false or merely apparent
preparation, for their spirits have
evolved and the blindfold that covered
their eyes has long ago fallen.
34. Bear spirituality, offer peace, and
make your surroundings into an
environment of health and
brotherhood, and you will see how
they hear and accept your words
bearing My inspiration and essence.
35. If you are to preach peace, be
peaceful; if you speak of love, feel it
before you put it into words; and if
your brothers also offer you their
fruits, do not reject them. Subject
everything you come to know to
study, and take from their doctrines
what is right and just.
36. You will find those who,
fanaticized in their worship, have
reduced their understanding by
making their practices materialistic.
Patiently help them to broaden their
knowledge; show them the horizons
their spirits can reach if they know
how to penetrate My teaching.
37. You will speak to them of My
universal Spirit, of the immortality of
the spirit, and of their constant
evolution. You will teach them true
prayer: the communication of the
spirit, and you will free them from
their errors and prejudices. That is the
work I entrust to you, a work of love
and patience. (277, 6 - 7)
38. Heal all ills, those of the body as
of the spirit, for you have the mission
of comforting, strengthening, and
healing your fellow men. And yet, I
ask you: What health will you
transmit to those who need it, if you
yourselves are ill? What peace can
emanate from your spirit if it is stirred
by worry, suffering, remorse, and low
passions?
39. You can only offer to your
brothers that which you have stored
up in your own heart. (298, 1 - 2)
40. I bring you a clear and simple
teaching so that you learn to live
among sinners without being
contaminated, pass among thorns
without being wounded, see horror
and ignominy without being
scandalized, and inhabit a world of
misery without fleeing from it; being
rather desirous of remaining in its
bosom to do all that is possible for its
needy, sowing the seed of good in the
paths of all.
41. Since this Eden was made into
an inferno by the sins of men, it is
necessary that they cleanse their stains
and return their life to its original
purity. (307, 26 - 27)
42. I will not send as emissaries
those who are dead to the life of
grace, for they will have nothing to
give. I will not give this mission to
those who have not cleansed the
selfishness from their hearts.
Chapter 60 - Work in Accord with The Spirit of Christ
493
43. The emissary of My word must
be a disciple of mine whose simple
presence makes people feel My peace
in their hearts. He must possess the
virtue of knowing how to console his
brothers even in their difficult
moments, and bear always in his
words a light that dissipates all
darkness from the spirit and
understanding. (323, 60 - 61)
Comportment while Spreading the
Word
44. There shall He numerous
methods to allow My disciples to
propagate this blessed seed, but never
forget the humility and simplicity,
because that is how I came to you and
in that same manner you will come
close to the hearts, homes and towns.
If you come in that manner, you will
be recognized as emissaries of a
spiritual message and your struggle
will yield fruit of true spirituality, of
regeneration and brotherhood. (82,
66)
45. If you want to know what you
must do among humanity, it is enough
to look at what I have done with you
beginning on the day that you first
heard My word.
46. I pardoned you. I received you
with charity and infinite love; I made
you rest from the grueling journey. I
did not stop to judge your condition,
your sphere or class, but cleaned the
leprosy of your sin and cured your
ills.
47. I have been understanding,
indulgent, and benevolent upon
judging your defects. I have
reintegrated you into the true life,
giving you a Doctrine of love that
enables you to save yourselves by
saving your fellow men.
48. There, in the works I have had
with each one of you, you may find
the best examples to be brought into
practice among the needy in body and
spirit who will also come to you in
caravans.
49. By speaking to this people, I
speak to humanity. To you it will
come to go tomorrow to the hearts of
men and fraternally pass to them My
word, which will consummate the
work of redemption. (258, 21 - 24)
50. You must be humble, it must not
hurt you if they offend you; be meek,
they shall make you suffer
humiliation and suffering, but your
word, which will be My message,
they will not be able to tear from their
spirit. For which reason I tell you that
if some remain insensitive and deaf to
your call, others shall awaken from
their long sleep and rise up to march
and channel their lives to the path of
regeneration and repentance.
51. Clothe yourselves in courage,
faith, and strength to be able to face
the struggle, yet I warn you: do not be
intimidated when you speak with your
brother because you see him well -
dressed, or because He is called
prince, lord, or minister.
52. Take from the example of Paul
and Peter who raised their voices
before those the world called lords.
They were great in spirit, and yet did
Chapter 60 - Work in Accord with The Spirit of Christ
494
not make a show of being lords before
any, but acted like servants. Follow
their examples, and give testimony of
My truth with the love of your works.
53. I warn you too, that He who
takes up My word like a sword with
which to wound his brother, or like a
scepter with which to humiliate him,
cannot call himself My disciple. Nor
can He whose passions are excited
upon speaking of this Doctrine and
who loses his tranquility, for He will
not plant the seed of faith.
54. A prepared disciple is one who
upon seeing his faith, his most sacred
beliefs, attacked, knows how to
remain serene, for He shall stand like
a beacon in the storm. (92, 9 - 10)
55. When you try to urge a sinner
toward the good, do not do so
threatening him with My justice, with
the elements, or with pain if He does
not reform, for you will infuse him
with an aversion to My Doctrine.
Show him the true God, who is love,
charity, and forgiveness. (243, 36)
56. You will not be offended by the
mockery of your brothers if you keep
in mind that they mock because their
ignorance does not allow them to see
the truth. You will be compensated in
those who upon coming to examine
you, and leave astonished by the
internal peace that illuminates each of
My true disciples.
57. You, in turn, must never mock
those who in their religious
fanaticism, are idolaters, for although
they seek Me in material forms, they
worship Me in them.
58. Do not point out their errors to
your brothers to try to have them
corrected by doing so, you would
more likely excite their anger and
fanaticism in this way. It is enough for
you to practice My doctrine with the
love it demands to bring to light the
errors of your brothers.
59. You must use much patience, a
great deal of charity, and true love if
you wish humanity to recognize soon
the essence of My word and to offer it
true worship, and to come to
recognize in each human creature a
spiritual and material brother in God
(312, 20 - 22)
60. I have come to prove to you that
you can remove the blindfold from the
ignorant or obsessed without harming,
offending, or wounding them, and so I
wish you to do it as well. I have
proven in yourselves, that love,
forgiveness, patience, and indulgence
are stronger than hardness,
condemnation, and violence. (172, 63)
61. I am once again setting the
pattern for you to follow Me. When
you arise seeking humanity to convey
to them the good news, do not beg
them to listen to you. Carry out your
mission with dignity, and those who
believe you will be the ones whom I
have chosen to make them My
disciples. (10, 50)
Chapter 60 - Work in Accord with The Spirit of Christ
495
The Correct Way to spread the
Word
62. I have not delivered My word to
you to have you preach it in the streets
and parks. It is true that Jesus did so,
but He knew how to answer any
question and put to the test those who
tried to test him.
63. You are small and weak,
therefore you should not challenge the
wrath of your brothers. Do not try to
attract attention. Believe that you have
nothing in particular. Neither try to
show humanity that everyone is
wrong and only you know the truth,
for in that way you will gain nothing
good from your sowing.
64. If you want to evolve spiritually
and morally, do not judge the defects
of your brothers. In order not to fall
into the same error, correct your
imperfections. Pray humbly before
your Master so that you might inspire
yourselves in his humility, and
remember his advice that you never
publicize your good works, that your
left hand never become aware of what
the right might have done.
65. I also say unto you, it is not
necessary that you go out in search of
multitudes to tell them about My
doctrine, for My charity will place in
your path those who are in need of
your help.
66. But if there are moments while
fulfilling My law in which you might
feel the need to do a charitable act,
and you have no one in need around
you, do not on that account despair
nor doubt My word. That will be the
precise moment in which you should
pray for your absent brothers, those
who will receive My Charity if you
truly have faith.
67. Do not strive to know more than
your brothers. Know that all of you
acquire knowledge according to your
evolution. If I were to grant you My
light without you have achieved
merits, you would glorify yourselves
and become lost in your vanity and
your knowledge would be false.
68. I want you humble, but in order
to be humble before Me, you should
also manifest humility before your
fellow men.
69. Disciples, love and knowledge
are never separated. One is part of the
other. How can there be those who
presume to separate these two virtues?
Both are keys which open the doors of
the sanctuary which will allow you to
fully understand My doctrine.
70. I have asked you, do you want to
have many friends? Then use
kindness, tenderness, tolerance, and
compassion, for only with the help of
these virtues, which are direct
expressions of love, will your spirit be
able to shine on the path of your
fellow men. For the spirit carries love
in its most intimate essence since the
Spirit is a Divine spark, and God is
love. (30, 29 - 36)
71. I speak to those who must fulfill
the missions of apostles and prophets
in other lands so that they do not boast
of the mission entrusted to them. They
shall not provoke scandal by
combating either religions or beliefs.
Chapter 60 - Work in Accord with The Spirit of Christ
496
72. Others there shall be who
promote scandal against you, not
knowing that by doing so they are
helping to propagate the doctrine,
awakening in many a curiosity that
shall later be converted to faith. (135,
28)
73. My Divine message, upon being
deposited in you, must be converted
to a brotherly one, and yet, to impress
and move the materialistic hearts of
humanity this must be sheathed in the
truth I have revealed to you. If you
have hidden anything, if you have
silenced anything, you will not give
true testimony to what My revelation
in the Third Era, and so you will not
be believed. (172, 62)
74. Very great is the moral and
spiritual backwardness in which I find
humanity. How great is the
responsibility of those who have
received the grace and light of My
word in this time!
75. Disciples: Become teachers, put
away from your heart the fear of men,
dispose of the indifference and
laziness; recognize that you are in
truth the bearers of a celestial
message. It will be you who give the
explanation of all that happens in
these times, and you who will have to
struggle to teach the principles of My
Doctrine that humanity has forgotten.
76. Do not repeat My word to your
brothers just as I spoke it to you;
prepare yourselves so that you can
explain it to them. Do not seek words
to try to awe them with your flowery
eloquence; speak with simplicity, for
this best expresses the truth of the
spirit. (189, 11 - 13)
77. Be tireless, new disciples, in
speaking this truth. The clumsy
tongue that dares not to speak My
word shall be untied at the moment of
your decision. One single word said in
My name can save a sinner, seal an
abyss, or stop those obstinate in evil
in their path. Do you not understand
the power of My Word? Do you not
know the strength of your authority?
78. Speak with examples, and fulfill
that part of My Work that I have
entrusted to you, and I will do the rest.
(269, 6)
79. If you see others of your brothers
who go forth teaching the name and
the word of Christ, do not look down
on them, for it is written that My New
Coming will be verified when the
word that I brought you in the Second
Era has been spread all over the earth.
80. And I tell you that there are yet
places in the world that have not
received that message. How may this
essentially spiritual Doctrine reach
those peoples without their having
received the Divine seed of love the
Redeemer gave you with his words
and his blood? (288, 44)
81. When you come to comprehend
and feel the truth you will see how
easy it is for the spirit to follow the
steps of His Master, even during the
most difficult trials. Do whatever
corresponds to your part, for I will not
Chapter 60 - Work in Accord with The Spirit of Christ
497
ask for more than what you are
capable of doing; then you will have
left the path ready for the new
generations.
82. I commend to you the children,
and charge you with leading them on
the path of right. Gather them, and
speak to them of Me with love and
tenderness.
83. Seek the disinherited, those who
live lost in misery and vices. I give
essence to your words so they may be
the path to salvation when they pour
from your lips
84. Open before the innocent the
'Book of True Life", in order for their
spirit to awaken and be great when
penetrating the revelations of the Holy
Spirit; be like the Master and you will
be heard. (64, 70)
85. I want those who have found the
path to mark it out and make it easier
for their brothers, and not to sow it
with stumbling blocks as many have
done, impeding those who wish, from
coming to Me. (299, 34)
86. To you, o spiritualists, I entrust
the task of tearing down that barrier
that humanity has built up between
themselves and God, a barrier of false
faith, of apparent belief in the eternal,
of materialism, and of superficial
worship.
87. To you, oh people, I give it to
topple from its pedestal the golden
calf those men, although they believe
themselves far from idolatry and
paganism, have not ceased to adore.
(285, 54 - 55)
88. Erase from men's minds the
erroneous impression that the spiritual
doctrines were formed based on
ignorance, trickery, and fraud. Present
My Doctrine in all its purity and
majesty so that it may erase
ignorance, fanaticism, and the
hardness that does not permit
humanity to think of their spiritual
selves, which they have deprived of
all freedom of action. (287, 42)
89. You who have received this
revelation are the ones indicated to
announce to humanity My new
manifestation through human
understanding. Who would you wish
to testify if you do not?
90. If you wait for the princes or
ministers of religions to take this good
news to humanity you are in error, for
I tell you truly that although they see
Me, they will not open their mouths to
say to humanity: There is Christ, go to
him! (92, 13)
91. Do not sleep, waiting for those
times I have spoken of to arrive
before you rise up and say to
humanity: This that you see is what
was written.
92. No people, it is indispensable
that you proclaim it ahead of time,
that you prophesy it; that you prepare
the path for the arrival of all that I
have foretold and promised. That is
when you will have fulfilled your
mission as forerunners of the
spirituality on the earth.
93. And so, when prodigies begin to
come to light in the world and the
Spirit of the Lord speaks to you
Chapter 60 - Work in Accord with The Spirit of Christ
498
through events never seen before, and
when the spirits of humanity begin to
manifest unforeseen gifts and powers,
you will see a shift in all the beliefs,
theories, norms, institutions, and
sciences; it is then that humanity will
admit that those who from their
humble stations predicated a Doctrine
strange in appearance, were right,
because their words were confirmed
by events.
94. Then you will see the peoples of
the earth interested in spiritual
teachings, the theologians comparing
the teachings of Christ with the new
revelations, and you will see many
who were always indifferent to the
spiritual, vividly interested in the
study of revelations of this and past
times. (216, 16 - 17)
The Mission of Comforting and
Healing those who suffer
95. I have given great gifts to My
chosen ones; one of these is the power
of healing, the balsam, so that with
that gift you may fulfill a mission that
is one of the most beautiful missions
among humanity, since your planet is
a vale of tears where there is always
pain to be found.
96. By means of this gift you have a
vast field in which to sow consolation
according to My will; and I have
deposited that balsam in your being
among the tenderest of your
heartstrings. You have enjoyed it,
before its prodigies you have bowed,
your hearts have softened when faced
with the suffering of men, and you
have walked always on the path of
charity.
97. Continue giving that balsam that
is not found in your hands, for it
overflows in a look filled with
compassion, consolation, and
understanding; it follows through
good thoughts and becomes healthy
advice, in words of light.
98. The gift of healing has no limits;
never forget that you are saturated
with it. If pain makes you a victim, it
is because you are subjected to a
testing; do not forget My teachings if
you cannot remove the pain with that
balsam, forget instead your own
sufferings and put your thoughts in
others, those for whom the sorrow is
greater. That is when you will see
prodigies in yourself and in your
brothers. (311, 18 - 19)
99. How you must be prepared to
penetrate in men's hearts to know their
secrets, which are hidden there, and
what they need.
100. I have come to teach you to
give sustenance to the spirits, to heal
them and give them light, and to show
them the road to their evolution.
101. He who hears this word and
holds it in his heart shall become a
guide, a doctor, and a counselor. In
his words will be a vein of light and
consolation for his brothers in need of
light. (294, 3 - 4)
102. I give you a drop of the balsam;
so that when you are persecuted you
may perform prodigies of healing
among humanity, for in the great
Chapter 60 - Work in Accord with The Spirit of Christ
499
epidemics, when illnesses strange and
unknown to science arise, the powers
of My disciples will be manifested.
103. I entrust to you a key with
which you may open the most rusted
of locks: the most stubborn hearts,
and with which you may open even
the gates of the prisons to give
freedom to the innocent and save the
guilty.
104. Walk always with peace and
confidence in Me, for wherever you
go My angels protect you. They will
join in your fulfillment and
accompany you to the homes and
hospitals, as well as the prisons and
the camps of discord and war,
wherever you go to plant My seed.
(260, 37 - 38)
105. Humanity will come, and
among them Thomas, represented by
the science and materialism, with their
eyes ready to scrutinize, and not only
their eyes, but with their fingers, to
touch, to feel, and only in this way
will they be able to believe in My
existence and the spiritual events that
will occur to one after another among
humanity, and to which men will bear
witness so that the Thomas of the
Third Era can be overcome in his
doubt and materialism by My love.
(319, 38)
106. I will give you the command to
rise and go to work, for it will be a
time of so great and clear signals, that
you will hear the voice of the Spiritual
World as well as that of this one,
marking by events that the hour of
your struggle has arrived. I will speak
to you, Spirit to spirit, and guide you
on the path.
107. Yet, before you go to humanity
as teachers, you will come as doctors,
and when you have quieted their
pains, they will be able to drink from
the well of pure water of My word.
Seek first the wounds, the sores, and
the sicknesses, and cure their ills so
that you then may reach their spirits.
108. Go to your brothers like Jesus
in the Second Era, bringing before My
word the healing balsam, and what is
the balsam? Oh, disciples, is it the
water of fountains blessed and made
medicine for the sick? No, people.
The balsam of which I speak is in
your hearts. I deposited it there as a
precious essence, and only love can
open it to rush out like a torrent.
109. When you wish to pour it out
over some sick person, it will not be
your hands that anoint them, but the
spirit inundated with love, charity,
and consolation. And there, where
you direct your thoughts, the prodigy
will be worked.
110. You will be able to work in
many ways upon the beings and
elements of Nature to bring
consolation to all. I tell you also, do
not fear illnesses, and be patient and
merciful with all.
111. With regard to the possessed,
and those confused in their human
minds you may also cure, for you
have that faculty as well, and must put
it at the service of those beings that
have fallen into desperation and
oblivion. Free them, and manifest this
Chapter 60 - Work in Accord with The Spirit of Christ
500
power before the incredulous. It is one
of the great missions of this people:
carry light where there is darkness,
break the chains of slavery and
injustice and prepare this world to
behold the Lord and see themselves,
their inner selves, with full knowledge
of the truth. (339, 39 - 41)
The Moment for Beginning the
Worldwide Mission
112. If for the moment the world is
so blind that it cannot see the light of
truth nor hear My call in the depths of
their beings, pray and gain spiritual
ground, for in these moments you will
not be heard, for all peoples are
consecrated to preparing themselves
to destroy and to defend themselves.
113. Men must blind themselves yet
more until the desperation, the hatred,
the terror, and the pain reach their
limits.
114. Nor will that be the right
moment to give them My message,
for you will be like a voice crying in
the wilderness, unlistened to by any.
(323, 27 - 29)
115. After the entire earth has been
greatly tested and shaken, and every
nation, institution, and household
fully judged to its roots and humanity
has cleansed every stain, you will go
prepared in My name to take My
doctrine to your brethren. (42, 54)
116. When the time comes, beloved
people, you will arise and share My
holy word with your brothers. You
will scatter throughout the world like
good disciples, and this new gospel
which I have brought you will spread.
The light from the Sixth Seal will
spiritually illuminate humanity in this
period, and with it Mysteries will be
clarified.
117. My doctrine will become
established in different nations and all
those things not yet discovered by
men will be revealed through the light
from the Seven Seals. Then you will
speak to humanity about these
teachings which you received, and
will tell it how to fulfill My law. (49,
43)
My peace be with you !

XV. Exhortations, Warnings and Instructions
Chapter 61 - Exhortations and Warnings from The Lord
Mandates and Obligations
1. Israel: Do not comply only with
your obligations incurred in the world.
Comply also with the Law, for before
the Father you have undertaken a
mission and its fulfillment should be
strict, elevated and spiritual.
2. I am teaching you so that you will
withdraw from materialism and cease
to be fanatical and idolatrous; that you
may not venerate or render worship to
man - made idols. It is not My wish
that within your heart there would
exist roots of idolatry, fanaticism,
false worship; do not present any
offerings that will not reach Me, I
only ask for your regeneration and
your compliance within spirituality.
3. Transform yourselves from your
past customs, do not look back or
contemplate what you have left and
should no longer practice; understand
that you have penetrated the path of
your evolution and you should not
detain. The road is narrow and you
must know it well, because tomorrow
you will have to guide your brethren
through it and I do not want you to get
lost.
4. I am a patient Father who awaits
your repentance and good will in
order to fill you with My grace and
My charity. (23, 60 - 63)
5. My word always advises
righteousness and virtue, you must not
spread malicious talk about your
brethren, causing their disgrace. Do
not regard with contempt those who
suffer ailments that you call
contagious; do not favor wars; do not
have a disgraceful occupation which
destroys morality and protects vices;
do not curse anything that is created.
Do not take what belongs to others
without permission of its owner, or
spread superstitions.
6. Visit the sick; forgive those who
offend you; protect virtue; give good
examples and you will be loving Me
and loving your brethren, because My
entire Law is based on those two
precepts.
7. Learn My lesson and teach it by
practicing it. If you do not learn, how
do you expect to preach My Doctrine?
And if you do not feel what you have
learned, how do you expect to teach
like a good apostle? (6, 25 - 26)
8. People, if you want to progress,
leave aside the laziness in you; if you
wish to be great, apply My maxims to
your works; if you wish to know
yourselves, analyze yourselves
through My word.
9. Understand that you need My
word, which pours forth love,
wisdom, counsel, and assistance, but
feel responsible, at the same time, for
what I give you; for you are not the
only needy ones in the world, there
are many who have hungered and
thirsted for these teachings, and you
Chapter 61 - Exhortations and Warnings from The Lord
502
must think of preparing yourselves to
go to them with the message of My
love. (285, 50)
10. The responsibility toward
humanity that this people has before it
is very great; they shall have to give
an example of true spirituality, teach
the way to offer up the inner worship
that is the pleasing offering, the
worthy homage, to God.
11. Open your hearts and hear the
voice of the conscience so that you
may judge your actions and you may
know that you are indeed faithfully
interpreting My teachings, or if you
too are mistaking the meaning of My
Doctrine. (280, 73)
12. My Doctrine loses all meaning if
you do not practice it.
13. You know well, beloved
disciples, that the purpose of My law
and Doctrine is the practice of good,
and that therefore who bears it only in
his memory or on his lips, without
applying it to his actions, is lying.
(269, 45)
14. You men who bear the light of
experience of this life in your heart
and spirit and the light left by the
evolution in different existences: Why
do you busy your spirits in that which
is superfluous to it? And why do you
so often cry over things that do not
justify your pain? Seek the truth in all
things; it is on every path, as
diaphanous and clear as the light of
day. (121, 48 - 49)
15. Do not forget and keep always in
mind, the awakening of faith in your
brothers depends on your righteous
and virtuous life. This means that they
will scrutinize and observe even the
intimate parts of your life, seeking in
your works a confirmation of the
Doctrine you preach (300, 57)
16. Tell Me: Have I ever rejected
you for your faults? Have I left you
behind, abandoned, when some
obstacle has delayed you? Have I
been cruel when, overcome by pain,
you have fallen?
17. Yet I see those who I so lovingly
call My disciples abandon their
brothers who have fallen into
misfortune and ignore those who
make an error; and instead of bringing
those in with charity to help them to
reform themselves, at times they make
themselves judges, taking up cases
that do not correspond to them to
judge.
18. Is that My teaching? I can hear
your consciences saying, "No." And
yet I wish you to judge yourselves in
detail, so that you may smooth the
burrs that your feelings suffer from,
and begin to be My disciples. (268,
46)
Faith, Hope, Love, Humility, and
Trust
19. When you are humble, you will
be great. Greatness does not lie in
pride and vanity as many believe. I
have told you throughout the times to
be meek and humble of heart.
20. Acknowledge Me as your Father
and love Me. Do not seek a throne for
Chapter 61 - Exhortations and Warnings from The Lord
503
your material body or a name to
distinguish you from the rest. Do not
seek to be different from others and
always practice good will. (47, 54)
21. I want to see in you the faith that
the sick people showed during the
Second Era, when they appeared
before Me: that of the paralytic, the
blind and the incurable woman. I want
to feel loved as the Father, to be
solicited as a Doctor and to be
listened to as the Master. (6, 46)
22. Do not weaken in faith or hope,
keep always in mind that the end of
this journey will come. Do not forget
that in Me you had your beginning,
and in Me too shall be your end; and
that end is eternity, for there is no
death of the spirit.
23. Keep eternity as your ideal, and
do not weaken before the difficulties.
Do you even know if this is your last
incarnation on earth? Who can tell
you if that body you now have is
paying back all of your debts with My
justice? That is why I tell you, make
use of your time here, but do not
hurry. If you accept your sufferings
and with patience drain the cup, I can
tell you truly that your merits will not
be sterile.
24. Keep your spirit always moving
forward so that you never cease to
perfect yourselves. (95, 4 - 6)
25. Live for the Father who loves his
children, who are your brothers, and
you will reach immortality. If you fall
into selfishness, and wrap yourselves
in self - love, with difficulty shall
your seed and your memory last.
26. Be meek and humble of heart,
and you will be always full of My
grace. (256, 72 - 73)
27. Great is your destiny! Yet do not
be thereby dominated by sad
presentiments, but fill yourselves with
hope and courage thinking that the
days of bitterness that approach are
necessary for the awakening and the
purification of men, without which
you can never see the triumphal entry
of the time of spirituality.
28. Learn to impose yourself over
adversities, do not allow sorrow to
take hold of your heart, and be careful
of your health. Raise the morale of
your brothers by speaking of Me and
teaching them My Doctrine, which
ignites faith and hope.
29. Look at the way many men walk
with their heads bowed, they are
spirits who have allowed themselves
to be defeated in the contest; see them
prematurely aged and gray, their faces
wilted and with a melancholy
expression, and if those who should
be strong weaken, youth must wither,
and childhood will look sadly at their
surroundings.
30. You, people, do not deprive your
hearts of all those healthy but fleeting
pleasures, you may enjoy them, eat
your humble bread in peace, and I
promise you will find it sweeter and
more substantial.
31. Deduce from My words that
what I want of you is trust, faith,
optimism, calm, and steadfastness,
Chapter 61 - Exhortations and Warnings from The Lord
504
and that in spite of your labors and
penalties there is no bitterness in your
hearts. What sweetness or happiness
can you offer to the needy if you had
the heart occupied by sorrow, worry,
or dissent?
32. It is precisely in your trials that
you must give the highest examples of
elevation, faith, and humility.
33. He who can give that spirituality
to his life will never cease to feel
peace, and even his dreams will be
peaceful and refreshing, for his spirit
will use his sleep to detach itself
towards the beyond to receive those
Divine emanations from which it is
nourished and in which the body also
participates. (292, 45 - 51)
Prayer, Study, Alertness,
Renovation, and Spirituality
34. Beloved disciples, once again I
tell you: Be vigilant and pray, for the
material is fragile, and in its
weaknesses it can detour the spirit
from the straight path.
35. The spirit that knows how to
keep watch never leaves the road
marked out for him by his Lord, and
is able to employ his inheritance and
his gifts until He achieves elevation.
36. He will move ahead in the trials,
because He lives alert and never lets
himself be dominated by the material.
He who is vigilant and prays always
emerges triumphant from the difficult
times, and knows how to walk with
firm steps on the path of life.
37. How different is the conduct of
He who forgets to keep vigil and
pray! He voluntarily renounces to
defend himself with the best weapons
I have placed in man, which are faith,
love, and the light of knowledge. It is
He who does not hear the inner voice
that speaks to him through intuition,
his conscience, or in dreams. The
heart and the mind do not understand
this type of language, and do not
believe the message sent by their own
spirit. (278, 1 - 3)
38. Pray for the troubled spirits, for
those become materialists, for those in
the bowels of the earth who have not
yet managed to separate themselves
from their bodies; and for those who
suffer and weep because of the
ignorant mourning on earth that
follows them.
39. Pardon and cease judging too
those who have sown ills in your
heart; if your eyes could behold them
on their knees begging your
forgiveness you would not be so
unjust to them. Help them to fly
toward the infinite, raise them up with
your charity, understand that they no
longer belong to this world. (107, 15)
40. Do not be satisfied with your
first works, believing that you have
earned sufficient merit for the
perfection of your spirit, but dedicate
a time each day to the study of My
Work, so that you may learn new
lessons and discover greater
revelations daily.
41. The studious disciple will always
hear the answer to his questions and
will always hear My Fatherly counsel
in the instants of testing.
Chapter 61 - Exhortations and Warnings from The Lord
505
42. The diligent disciple will be a
source of love for his brothers, He
will feel truly rewarded by his Father,
and will recognize the moment to rise
up and carry out his great spiritual
mission among men. (280, 40 - 42)
43. As you perfect yourselves you
will see the goal to be closer, though
you will not know if you are one step
from your salvation or if you still
have far to go on the road. I tell you
only that you must allow yourselves
to be guided submissively and
obediently by this word, which is the
voice of My Divine Spirit.
44. Absolve yourselves of breaking
the Law, of falling repeatedly into the
same error. Heed this call, which is an
invitation to reform, a plea that your
Father makes to you, for I do not wish
to see you live uselessly on earth and
cry afterward for your disobedience.
(322, 60)
45. Do not fear the murmurs of
humanity or their judgments; fear the
justice of your God. Remember that I
have told you that as a judge I am
inexorable. Seek me out therefore
always as Father, as God, so that you
lack nothing on your path. (344, 31)
46. Do not allow yourselves to be
surprised, My people, live always
alert and be faithful sentinels. Do not
fear the words spoken to you by your
own brothers to convince you that you
are wrong.
47. Keep firm, for great will be the
honors I give to the soldiers faithful to
My cause, those of you, who know
how to face these difficult times of
confusion of ideas, creeds, and
religions.
48. Respect all your brothers in the
same way that you respect My Work,
and demonstrate the teaching that I
have come again to show you. If men
mock you, let them; the light of My
Holy Spirit will come to them and
repentance will be in their hearts.
(336, 18)
49. Do not halt in your steps, oh
disciples, but let them be always firm
on the path of good and progress as I
have always told you, for times are
coming in which only the good can
open a breach for mankind, and in
which only virtue and truth can
maintain them on the path of struggle
and combat.
50. The days are near when
imposture must fall, in which
falsehood, hypocrisy, selfishness, and
all the bad seeds will find their end
through great trials, obstacles, and
reverses.
51. That is why the Master tells you:
Pledge yourselves more and more to
the good. Be convinced, My people,
that you can receive no evil for the
good you do. If for the good you do
on the earth you gather poor fruits or
repayment, that result is temporary,
not the final one. In truth, I tell you
that you must persevere until the
harvest. (332, 31)
Chapter 61 - Exhortations and Warnings from The Lord
506
Warnings to the Communities of
the Revelation
52. Unfortunate is He who interprets
My word according to his will, for He
will answer to Me because of it.
53. On earth many men have
dedicated themselves to altering the
truth, without realizing the
responsibility that they have as
collaborators in the Work of love of
the Father.
54. During this period of judgment
which many ignore, because they
have been unable to interpret the
events that they are living, justice is
found in each spirit taking into
account its deeds within or outside the
Law of love in the course of its
pilgrimage in this world.
55. He who alters the essence of My
revelations in these writings revealed
through inspiration, will answer for
his actions before Me.
56. Therefore, you must proceed
with uprightness, for these lessons are
My legacy of love for My children
who, incarnated or in spirit, are
awaiting greater teachings. (20, 12 -
14)
57. I do not wish to see lies in you,
oh Israel, for one day they will be
uncovered, and then the world will
say: "Are these the disciples of the
Master? If the disciples are false, so
too was the Master who instructed
them by giving them lies. (344, 10)
58. You are the ones entrusted with
alleviating the pain of humanity and
teaching prayer to the blasphemers
who have passed much time without
elevating their spirits in prayer.
59. For this, however, you must
spiritualize yourselves, putting
materialism away from you each day.
60. I do not wish you to be
exaggerated spiritualists, No.
Fanaticism is abominable to Me, and
that is why I have come to remove it
from your midst. The conscience will
tell you how you must live in
harmony with all. (344, 17 - 18)
61. Hear Me, people; listen,
disciples; I am giving you the light
and I am freeing you of the chains, the
ties, and the darkness. But I am not
empowering you so that you can make
of this Work just another religion, nor
so that you can fill it with forms and
rites according to your convenience.
No!
62. Distinguish well what is the
liberty I have come to give you, so
that you do not exchange it for a new
fanaticism.
63. Have you not realized yet that
your minds, and with them your
spirits, have been stalled in their
development? Do you not remember
the mound of false fears and
prejudices inherited from your
antecessors from which I have freed
you so that you may look the truth in
the face and receive the light? (297,
20 - 21)
64. The soil will be watered and
open in waiting for the seed of My
sowers. Would it be just for this
people to arrive with a new idolatry
Chapter 61 - Exhortations and Warnings from The Lord
507
after humanity has been freed of
fanaticism and materialist adoration?
No My beloved disciples and
students, that is why the lessons and
trials are found on your path at every
step. (292, 44)
Warning about the Continuation of
the Revelations after 1950, and
False Revelations of Christ
65. After the day marked by My
divinity, you will no longer hear My
word, but it will have been engraved
in your conscience, your heart, and in
the books.
66. He who rises up as a speaker
invoking My Ray does not know the
sentence that He imposes upon
himself.
67. I warn you not to lend your ears
to false prophets, false spokesmen,
and false Christs. I alert you so that
you may avoid the confusion in time,
and avoid the coming among you of
spirits of darkness. Be vigilant, for
you will answer to Me for these
teachings if you are not prepared.
(229, 40 - 41)
68. These are already the final times
that I stay among you in this form.
Believe in this, and believe too, that I
will not return to this world to give
My word material form, and much
less to make Myself man.
69. Prepare yourselves, for rumors
will come to you of men who claim
that I have returned, that Christ has
come to the earth. Remain faithful and
say firmly, that the Lord is with all his
children in spirit.
70. If you sleep, and do not
spiritualize yourselves, you will deny
that I raised up My word and
transforming yourselves into
blasphemers, invoke My Ray upon the
multitudes, saying to them: "We ask
that He who gave us his word
continue speaking to us, let us raise up
canticles and hosannas that He may
hear us."
71. Yet, I tell you truly that My Ray
shall not be turned again upon human
understanding, for I will not come to
feed your foolishness.
72. To what will you be exposing
yourselves? To the words of apparent
light leading you to confusion. Is that
what your heart wishes? Prepare
yourselves for that test, and the light
of My inspiration will shine over your
obedience and humility.
73. I proclaim to you that if by 1950
there is no unification of these
multitudes into one single people,
confusion will soon reign, for there
will be some who say that the Master
continues to manifest; woe then to this
people. Have you not sensed this
threat in advance?
74. That spirit of brotherhood and
unity has not yet awoken in you; you
hope that events will bring you unity,
yet if that is what you await you will
see the plagues unleashed, the
disorders, the wars, and the justice of
the elements, until there will not be
one place of peace in the whole world,
not on its surface, in its bowels, at sea
or in the winds. (146, 24 - 26)
Chapter 61 - Exhortations and Warnings from The Lord
508
75. You will prepare yourselves and
always when you are gathered, be it in
these gathering places, in your homes
or your valleys, there, in these
meetings, you feel My presence
spiritually.
76. But be watchful, for false
disciples shall arise announcing that
they communicate directly with the
Father, and transmit false orders and
inspirations.
77. I have taught you to distinguish
the truth from imposture, to know the
tree by its fruit. (260, 65 - 66)
78. I have announced that the
moment will come when you see
many "spiritualisms" arise, and that
you must be prepared to discover in
which ones truth exists, and in which
imposture.
79. You will see false
communications attributed to Me,
rumors of Divine envoys that bring
messages to the world, sects with the
name of the Seven Seals and many
confusing and undefined doctrines.
80. All this will be the product of the
great spiritual confusion that
humanity has been preparing, but do
not fear, try to live keeping watch and
praying, and you will not succumb to
the confusion, for My word, in the
moments of greatest darkness, shall be
the light that makes you behold My
clear and perennial truth. (252, 15 -
17)
Bad Habits, Hypocrisy and Vice
81. Vanity is harbored in those who,
believing themselves to have reached
the complete knowledge of the truth,
have considered themselves wise,
strong, infallible, great and absolute,
without realizing that many times they
have been confused.
82. I do not desire that from among
these people who have barely begun
to develop under the light of these
lessons, tomorrow emerge men who
are confused because of their vanity,
boasting that they are the
reincarnation of Christ, or that they
are the new Messiahs.
83. Whoever commits such acts, will
be those who, believing they have
reached the understanding of all My
truth, in reality, are far from the path
marked by Christ. which is of
humility.
84. Study the life of Jesus on earth
and you will find a profound and
unforgettable lesson of humility. (27,
3 - 6)
85. One of the most serious defects
is that of hypocrisy; do not proclaim
love while incapable of loving Me in
your fellow men.
86. How many of those who have
judged the kiss of Judas, do not want
to see that they have given a kiss of
apparent fraternity to their brother and
behind his back have betrayed him!
How many of those who say that they
are serving the needy I see delivering
light, truth and charity in exchange for
coins.
87. Why is it that when someone has
intimidated you with questions, you
have done as Peter did during his
moments of weakness: denying Me
Chapter 61 - Exhortations and Warnings from The Lord
509
and declaring that in truth you did not
even know Me? Why do you fear
human Justice and not mine?
88. Verily I say to you that between
the Divine justice and your Sins, the
intercession of Mary intervenes, your
celestial Mother who always pleads
for you. (75, 37)
89. No one is authorized to judge the
actions of his brothers, for if He who
is clean does not do so, why should
He who bears stains in his heart?
90. I tell you this because you are
constantly examining what is sown by
your brothers, expecting to find
defects in it, to then show them your
own sowing to humiliate them saying
that your own work is cleaner and
more perfect.
91. The only judge who knows how
to assess your works is your Father in
Heaven. When He presents himself
with his scales, it will not be He who
understands the most who has the
highest merit in his eyes, but He who
has known how to be the brother to
his fellow men, and child to his Lord.
(131, 55 - 57)
92. Learn and practice; teach, feeling
what you say and do; confirm My
doctrine by your works. I do not wish
the corrupt among My disciples.
Think of what would become of
humanity and of you, if this Work,
initiated with such love and patience,
were to be toppled from a lack of
morality, virtue, and truth in your life.
(165. 25)
93. Go no longer in pursuit of the
pleasures or frivolities of the world,
but pursue instead the elevation of
your lives, so that throughout your
lives I may give you the satisfactions
that serve as encouragement for your
hearts. (111, 61)
94. Woe unto you if your evil
tendencies ore stronger than the
virtues possessed by your spirit or if
My teaching does not bear fruit! If
you do not meditate or analyze My
word, believing you are doing My
will, My light will awaken you. And
when you know all truth, you will
remember that I have sent you to the
world to do good works. (55, 6)
95. Woe betide those who during
this period with their profanations and
disobedience set a bad example in
front of the children, whom I have
sent with a spiritual mission! Do you
want to imitate the multitudes who
between shouts and mockery led Jesus
toward Golgotha, sowing terror within
the hearts of the children who could
not explain to themselves why a man
who only delivered blessings was
being tortured and put to death?
96. Each time that Jesus fell, those
innocent ones wept; but verily I say to
you that their weeping came more
from the spirit than from the flesh.
How many of them followed Me
afterward and loved Me, even when
the memory of what their innocent
eyes beheld was not erased from their
hearts! (69, 50 - 51)
Chapter 61 - Exhortations and Warnings from The Lord
510
False Penitence and mistaken
Expectations
97. Do not practice wrongful
understood penance; do not deprive
your body of what it needs. On the
other hand, avoid those things which
might harm your body even if it
requires a sacrifice on his behalf. That
type of penance benefits your spirit
and also pleases the Father. (55, 40)
98. You already look at God as more
of a Father of perfect and
inexhaustible love than as a judge.
And I tell you that it is well that you
look at God as your Father.
99. Nonetheless, I must tell you, so
that you will be alert, that you too
could fall, as did that ancient people,
into a new error, and that error could
be to cease worrying about improving
morally and spiritually, or it could be
to carelessly sin seriously and
repeatedly because you are confident
that the Father is above all love, and
therefore must forgive you.
100. Certainly, God is love, and
there is no fault so grave that He will
not forgive it, but you must know that
it is from precisely that same Divine
love that his inexorable justice
proceeds.
101. Know all this, so that bearing in
you the knowledge of My doctrine,
which contains truth, you destroy all
the mistaken concepts that may be in
you.
102. Do not forget that the love of
the Father pardons you, but that the
stain remains inscribed on your spirit
in spite of the pardon, and that you
will have to cleanse it through merits,
returning the love that pardoned you.
(293, 43 - 44)
103. A voice has come to awaken
you, a voice sweet and consoling that
calls you to the Kingdom of Light and
Life, but which can become one of
justice if you choose to continue
profaning your spirit and ignoring the
Law.
104. To the humble and obedient My
word says: "Persevere, for you will
accomplish much by My grace, and
much will you reach for your
brothers."
105. To the foolish My voice says:
"If you do not make use of this holy
occasion to leave the mire of sin or
the darkness of ignorance you inhabit,
you will see the times and eras pass
over your spirit without knowing what
the Lord brought in his message, nor
what were the gifts revealed to his
people.
106. It is true that there will be a
good time to save yourself and scale
the heights, but woe to He who delays
that day. Woe to He who misses the
opportunities to achieve the evolution
of the spirit because He dedicated
himself to the superfluous of this
world! He does not know how long it
will be until the next opportunity, nor
how bitter will be the restitution.
107. There is not the smallest bit of
revenge or the least bit of punishment
on the part of the Father in this, but
only his strict and inexorable justice.
108. Now that I have presented
Myself among you, by any chance do
Chapter 61 - Exhortations and Warnings from The Lord
511
you see that you have missed or not
taken advantage of prior
opportunities, or how long your spirit
has waited to receive this new
opportunity to fulfill a mission that
some time ago was entrusted to it?
109. What do your heart and mind
know of the past of their spirit, of its
destiny, its debts, its missions, and its
restitutions? - Nothing.
110. That is why you should not
block the perfection of the spirit, nor
tempt it with the love of the things of
this world. It must follow another
road, other ends, and other ideals.
(279, 16 - 19)
Warning to the Peoples and Powers
of the earth
111. Woe betides Humanity if in her
heart mercy and charity should not
emerge! Woe betides men if they
should not come to have a complete
knowledge of their bad deeds! Their
own hand is unleashing upon
themselves the fury of the elements
and trying to spread upon the nations
the chalice of pain and bitterness, and
when they are gathering the result of
their deed, even then, there will be
some who will say: "It is a
punishment of God!" (57, 82)
112. Woe to those peoples who are
stubborn in their idolatry, their
fanaticism, and their routine! They
shall be unable to behold My light,
nor shall they feel the infinite joy of
the awakening of the spirit.
113. Certainly My Doctrine will
move the world, yet when the struggle
has ceased, true peace shall be felt on
earth, the peace which comes from
My Spirit. Only the foolish, those
resistant to understanding, and the
hard of heart will continue to suffer.
(272, 12 - 13)
114. I am making Myself felt in the
hard hearts of men, in those which
bear the purpose of fomenting war, so
that they may recognize that My will
is stronger than their warlike
purposes. If the hearts of these men is
hard, and is not moved by My will,
My justice shall be felt in all the
universe. (340, 33)
115. Again, as in the times of Noah,
men shall laugh at the prophecies and
will begin to believe and repent only
when the waters begin to cover their
bodies.
116. My charity has come always to
restrain you in your senselessness, yet
you have never wished to listen to
Me. Sodom and Gomorrah were also
warned so that fear and repentance
might enter them and prevent their
destruction, however, they did not
wish to hear My voice, and perished.
117. I also invited Jerusalem to pray
and return to true worship, but its
unbelieving and carnal heart rejected
My Fatherly warning and waited for
events to reveal the truth. How bitter
were those days for Jerusalem!
118. Do you see how it is true that
you have always been the same, and
have never wished to leave behind
your spiritual infancy in order to grow
Chapter 61 - Exhortations and Warnings from The Lord
512
and elevate yourselves on the road of
wisdom that there is in My word?
119. I send you all this message,
which serves you as prophecy, as an
awakening, as a warning to peoples
and nations. Blessed are you if you
believe in its content.
120. Meditate on its essence, but
then pray and keep watch, for if you
do this, an inner light will guide you
and a higher strength will protect you
until you are safe. (325, 73 - 77)
My peace be with you !
513
Chapter 62 - Words for the Present Listeners
1. O My disciples: return to your
former selves, listen to Me and feel
Me as you did before. Remember
when you confessed that this
revelation was your life and the light
of your destiny. Do not forget that
today I say to you that what you need
will be granted when the right
moment comes.
2. Fill your lamp again with oil so
that the flame of faith and wisdom
will glow once more.
3. Do not slumber, be watchful and
pray, for the Master might surprise
you entering your abode as before, as
in those days of spiritual enthusiasm,
when at each step you felt My
presence.
4. You will behold how your life
again will be illuminated by the light
which was obscured without your
knowledge and it will again restore
your confidence in a future filled with
abundance and wisdom. (4, 27 - 29)
5. Many of you call yourselves
spiritualists because you have faith in
My presence in the communications I
have made by means of human
understanding, and because you
frequently attend to hear My word.
But I want you to be spiritualists
through the practice of good, through
knowledge of the essence of life,
through your love for your fellow
men, and through your worship of
God in an elevated, productive, and
virtuous existence. (269, 55)
6. To some I have given a humble
origin in this world so that they may
imitate their Master in this life, and to
others it has been given to be born in
wealthy homes, so that they too may
imitate Jesus, who being King, left his
throne to come to serve the poor, the
sick, and the sinners.
7. The merit of He who knows how
to descend from his position to serve
his fellow men, is as great as that of
He who rises on the road of love from
his humble and ignored life to the
altitude of the just. (101, 55 - 56)
8. You ask Me why I have come to
you? Because I see that you have
forgotten the road where you should
return to the bosom from whence you
emerged, and I have come to show it
to you again.
9. The path is My Law and by means
of its fulfillment the spirit will attain
immortality. I am showing you the
door, so narrow like the path that I
pointed out to you with My teaching
during that time. (79, 2 - 3)
10. You who hear Me shall prepare
the way for those who will receive Me
in Spirit. It was not by chance that
brought before My presence those
who received My teaching, just as it
will neither be a coincidence that
there will be a development of the
spiritual gifts in those who will feel
My presence without the need of a
human speaker. (80, 4)
Chapter 62 - Words for the Present Listeners
514
11. I have you destined to extend
good over the earth, and that is true
spirituality.
12. Do you feel small and incapable?
Do you judge yourselves too impure
to bear in your spirits a mission of this
nature? That is because you do not
know My wisdom and My mercy, and
do not observe with purity the
examples I give you at each step
through Nature.
13. Do you not see how the rays of
the sun, illuminating all, come even to
the foulest puddle, evaporating it,
raising it up to the heavens, purifying
it and converting it finally to a cloud
that passes over the fields to bring
life? (150, 51 - 53)
14. Here in My presence, eliminate
all impurity from your spirit so that it
may attain freedom. Do not fear, for
you are not going to reveal any secret
to Me. I know you better than you
know yourselves. Confess intimately
unto Me. I will know how to
understand you better than anyone
and will be able to pardon your causes
and debts, for I am the only one who
can judge you.
15. When you have reconciled with
your Father and you hear your spirit
singing a hymn of triumph, then seat
in peace at My table, and eat and
drink from the dishes offered to you
by My Spirit which is found in the
essence of My word. (39, 71)
16. Many of you come crying after
cursing the pain. I forgive you for
your errors, since they arise from your
ignorance.
17. Calm your hearts, My little
students of life, and clarify your
understanding so that you may
understand what I am going to tell
you: When you again feel pain
penetrating your heart, isolate
yourself for a few moments from what
surrounds you, and alone, there in the
intimacy of your bedroom, converse
with your own spirit, take your pain,
and examine it just as you would take
an object in your hand to study.
18. Examine your pain this way: See
where it comes from, and why. Listen
to the voice of your conscience, and
truly I tell you, from that meditation
you will extract a treasure of light and
peace for your heart.
19. The light will give you a way to
put aside the pain, and the peace will
give you the strength to wait until the
trial passes. (286, 26 - 28)
20. Continue struggling to be strong
in spirit and in the material form, for
if until now there have been illnesses
among you, it is because due to a lack
of spirituality and faith you have not
known how to rise above this life's
misery and pain.
21. My Doctrine does not only teach
you to have faith in the power of God,
but also to have faith in yourselves.
22. Today you say: "God is in us."
But you say it without feeling or
understanding it because your
materialism impedes you from feeling
My presence in your being; but when
spiritualism is part of your lives, you
will then know the truth of My
Chapter 62 - Words for the Present Listeners
515
presence in each man. My voice will
resonate in the consciences, the inner
judge will be heard, and the warmth
of the Father will be felt. (265, 57)
23. This lesson reaches to your heart,
where intentions of atonement and
noble sentiments have been born.
24. If you have suffered and wept
very much in order to reach the point
of opening the doors of your heart to
Me, truly I say to you that also He
who has suffered greatly, has atoned
for his faults and has to be forgiven.
(9, 37 - 38)
25. You weep, O My people,
because you feel within your
repentant heart the love of the Master.
You were told that He who would
present himself before the Father
bearing in his spirit a grave fault,
would not be forgiven and He would
have to suffer an eternal damnation.
26. But how can you conceive of My
Divine justice as being so monstrous?
Were you not aware that through
Jesus I showed that My most tender
words and My most gentle gazes were
for those who had sinned the most?
How could I teach a lesson in the
world and do the opposite in eternity?
(27, 41)
27. Be comforted during your bitter
and difficult moments, keeping in
mind that My wise and perfect Law
will judge everything.
28. I have been in your affliction so
that through it you will seek Me. I
have touched you through poverty so
that you may learn to ask, to be
humble and to understand others.
29. I have withheld your daily bread,
to prove that He who has faith is like
the birds that do not worry about a
tomorrow; they behold the dawn
appear as a symbol of My presence
and when they awaken, their first act
is to elevate their melodies as an
indication of thanks and as proof of
their faith. (5, 55 - 57)
30. Sometimes you say to Me: Lord,
if I had everything, if I lacked
nothing, I would be active in your
spiritual Work and I would be
charitable. But keep in mind that as
men you are changeable and that all
your intentions of today when you
possess nothing, would change if I
granted all that you wish.
31. Only the love of God in
unchangeable toward His children.
32. If I gave you in abundance, I
know beforehand that you would lose
yourselves, for I am aware of your
resolutions and weaknesses. (9, 55 -
57)
33. When I have told you to separate
yourselves from pleasures you have
interpreted My words wrong, coming
to think that it pleases me more to see
you suffer than joyful, you are
mistaken.
34. If I am your Father, how could
you imagine that I would rather see
you cry than laugh?
35. In telling you to separate
yourselves from the pleasures, I refer
only to those that are unhealthy for
Chapter 62 - Words for the Present Listeners
516
the spirit or damaging to the material
form. On the other hand, I advise you
to seek the healthy satisfactions for
the heart and spirit that are within
your reach. (303, 27)
36. I did not even insist that you
believe in Me; when you arrived, it
was I who went ahead giving you
proof by healing the maladies of your
body, giving peace to your spirit or
something that you believed as
unattainable.
37. Afterward, when you have
believed in Me and have surrendered
yourselves with faith toward the
fulfillment of My Law, I have pointed
out to each one his mission so that He
will not deviate from the pathway,
and that He will only take what
corresponds to him and extend to his
brethren charity and love just as I
have come to do with you.
38. By chance do you believe that all
those who indoctrinate are teachers?
Do you believe that all those who
regard themselves as ministers of God
are envoys of mine or that I have
given them the mission that they are
carrying out? Do you believe that all
those who reign, govern and
command in the world possess the
necessary gifts to fulfill that mission?
No, My people. How few are those
who fulfill the obligation that has
truly been entrusted to them. While
some usurp a position that does not
befit them, those who should fulfill it
are humiliated and passed over. (76,
36 - 37)
39. Do not think that I am offended
if some do not believe in My presence
in this manifestation, for it does not
affect My truth at all. How many men
have doubted the existence of a
Divine Being who created all the
marvels of the universe, and yet the
sun has not ceased to give them light.
(88, 7)
40. Today you open the doors of
your heart and your understanding
before the light of My teaching. With
what works do you come to glorify
Me?
41. All of you stay silent in both the
material and spiritual forms before
Me; you bow your heads and humble
yourselves, but I don't want My
children to humble themselves before
Me, I want them to be worthy of
lifting their faces and beholding mine;
for I do not come in search of servants
or slaves, I do not come in search of
creatures who feel outlawed and
exiled. I come to My children, whom
I so love, so that when they hear My
voice, the voice of their Father, they
elevate their spirits on the path of
spiritual evolution. (130, 39 - 40)
42. Beloved disciples: Be zealous of
My Work, comply with My mandates
and with those you shall be giving
testimony of Me. Mary, your loving
Mother, also descends to you and fills
you with grace; she teaches you a
perfect love and changes your heart
into a fountain of charity, so that you
may perform great deeds of love
among your brethren and know the
Chapter 62 - Words for the Present Listeners
517
truth. She is My collaborator, and next
to My Word of a Master and Judge, is
Her word of mother and intermediary.
Love Her, My people, and invoke Her
name. Verily I say to you that Mary is
watchful over you and accompanies
you, not only in the days of trials but
eternally. (60, 24)
43. I have named you the "Marian
People," for you are able to love and
recognize the Divine Mother and
approach her like a child who needs
tenderness or as a sinner who seeks
intercession.
44. The presence of Mary in the
world is an indication of My love for
men; Her purity is a heavenly miracle
revealed to you. From Me she
descended to earth to become a
woman and in her womb would
germinate the Divine seed, the body
of Jesus, through whom the Living
Word would speak. She comes anew
to manifest herself during this period.
(5, 9 - 10)
45. It is necessary that the human
heart knows in its depths the precious
message his Spirit has brought to the
world, and that then, knowing the
truth, you erase from your heart all of
the idolatrous worship and fanaticism
that you have consecrated to it, and
offer your spiritual love. (140, 43)
46. Some say to Me, "Lord, why
don't you let us see you, like our
brothers who testify that they see
you?"
47. Oh weak hearts that need to see
to believe! What merit would you find
in beholding the humanized Jesus as a
vision in the form of a man, when
your spirit, through love, faith, and
sensitivity, can sense Me, infinite and
perfect in My Divine essence?
48. You do ill if you envy those who
possess the gift of seeing the spiritual
in the form of figures or symbols, for
what they see is not precisely the
Divine, but rather an allegory or
image that speaks to them of the
spiritual.
49. Be comfortable in your gifts, and
analyze the testimonies you receive,
looking always for the meaning: the
light, the teaching, and the truth. (173,
28 - 30)
50. Never adulterate My teachings,
manifest My Work as a book which
embraces only purity and when you
have concluded your journey, I will
welcome you. I will disregard your
spiritual blemishes and I will grant
you My Divine caress, which will be
your greatest reward when you reach
the Promised Land. For I have given
you in this Era a handful of seed that
you may learn to sow in fertile fields
and there allow it to multiply. (5, 27)
51. Judge your responsibility,
beloved people, consider that a day
you lose is a day you delay the arrival
of this good news to the hearts of your
brothers, and that a lesson you miss is
one less bit of bread you can offer to
the needy. (121, 40)
Chapter 62 - Words for the Present Listeners
518
52. You know already the taste of
the tree's fruit, and I warn you, so that
tomorrow you do not let yourselves be
surprised by false prophets. Keep
watch over your brothers as well,
teaching them to distinguish the
essence of My doctrine.
53. It is written that after My parting
false prophets would appear, telling
My people that they are sent by Me
and that they come in My name to
continue the work that I carried out
among you.
54. Woe to you if you bow to those
false prophets and teachers, or if you
mix My doctrine with words that are
not of the essence, for it will cause
great confusion. That is why I so often
tell you to pray and keep watch. (112,
46 - 47)
55. If you do not prepare yourselves,
rumors will reach your ears that will
confuse you and with them you will
confuse your brethren afterward.
56. I am putting you on the alert, so
that once these communications are
ended, you will not try to practice
them again, because it will not be
spirits of light that will manifest
themselves, but confused beings who
will aim to destroy what you earlier
already had established.
57. On the other hand, He who
knows how to prepare himself, who
instead of trying to appear noteworthy
can make himself helpful, instead of
anticipating events, can wait with
patience, He will clearly hear My
teaching which will reach his spirit by
means of the gifts that exist in him,
which are: inspiration, intuition,
presentiment through prayer, spiritual
vision and prophetic dreams. (7, 13 -
14)
58. Today you behold these
spokesmen speaking in ecstasy, and
although the reluctance of some of
you is great, you believe that My
manifestation through these channels
is possible; yet, when humanity
beholds My disciples speaking in their
normal state of the Divine revelations,
they will doubt them.
59. In our own congregation there
will arise those that upon hearing you
speak inspired by Me, will doubt, and
you will need to have great
preparation and spiritual cleanliness in
order to be believed. (316, 52 - 53)
60. If on your path you come to see
men who by their works or their way
of thinking show spiritual
backwardness before My revelation,
do not be confused; you should know
that there has never been a time when
all beings have marched in step. Trust
that I am now leaving for them the
words that will awaken them when the
time has come.
61. These words, which you cannot
yet understand, will be exactly the
same that those men will understand.
(104, 42 - 43)
62. Grow and practice without
fanaticism; elevate and place
yourselves on a level from which you
can teach all your brethren without
distinction of creeds or doctrines.
Chapter 62 - Words for the Present Listeners
519
63. Do not hold back your charity to
the one who is in need because He
follows an underdeveloped or
imperfect worship; on the contrary,
your unselfish deed will win over his
heart.
64. Do not confine yourselves in
groups, nor limit your activities, have
enlightenment for every spirit and
balsam for every pain. (60, 27)
65. If your brothers murmur against
you for having answered My call,
close your ears and be silent, for they
are innocent; but if you have taken up
this cause in order to judge them, woe
unto you! For you have already been
illuminated by the light from your
conscience, and understand what you
do. (141, 27)
66. So, My people, do not try to
make all men think or believe as you
do. Never anathematize humanity, do
not sentence them, or condemn them
for what they do not say, or because
they do not accept your proposition,
your teaching, or your counsel. Look
upon all of your brothers with the
most profound respect and spiritual
charity, and in this way you will
understand that each one in his own
worship, his own doctrine, and on his
own path, has reached the place to
which his spiritual capacity gives him
the right. And where you see
humanity today is the place to which
its own evolution has brought it. (330,
29)
67. Now I want you to know that
you are not more than anyone; that the
belief you have fostered that you are a
people of privileged beings, is an
error, because the Creator in His
perfect love toward all His creatures
distinguishes no one.
68. I say this because tomorrow you
have to teach your brethren the
Doctrine I brought to you during this
time and I do not want you to appear
before the last ones as superior
beings, nor that your merits made you
the only ones worthy of listening to
My Word.
69. You will be comprehensive,
humble, simple, noble and charitable
brethren.
70. You will be strong but not
arrogant, so that you will not
humiliate the weak. If you possess
great knowledge about My Doctrine,
never make a display of your
knowledge so that your brethren will
not feel belittled near you. (75, 17 -
19)
71. Even here, among My laborers,
how many there are who not
understanding My doctrine, and upon
finding themselves endowed with
gifts, have believed themselves
superior and worthy of admiration and
homage. That brings Me to ask you if
you can believe that an elevated spirit
could be vain of its gifts, since
humility and charity are two of the
principal attributes it should bear. (98,
15)
Chapter 62 - Words for the Present Listeners
520
72. Remember that I once told you
that I did not create you to become
like parasitical plants. I do not wish
you to be satisfied with merely not
doing harm, but want you to reach
satisfaction through good works.
Those who do not do good when they
are able, have done more harm than
those who do not understand how to
do good, and who therefore content
themselves with doing evil because it
is all they know. (153, 71)
73. O! My very beloved children,
who weep like lost sheep, calling your
Shepherd with anguished cries! When
you close your eyes to the reality of
your surroundings, you end up
thinking that I am the cause of your
misfortunes on earth; others believe
that your vicissitudes are of no
concern to Me.
74. How ungrateful you are thinking
that way of your Father, and how
unjust to appraise My perfect justice!
75. Do you believe that I do not
listen to you when you say that you
are only nourished by bitterness, that
the world which you inhabit is a
world without happiness and that the
existence which you lead has no
reason to be?
76. You only feel My presence when
you believe that I punish you, that I
deny you all mercy, and you forget
the tenderness and kindness of your
Father; you complain about your life,
instead of blessing its benefits.
77. The fact is you close your eyes to
the truth and only see bitterness and
tears around you, feeling desperation
because you believe that everything
will be without a reward.
78. How different your life would be
if instead of that nonconformity, of
that incomprehension, your first
thought each day would be to bless
your Father and your first words, to be
thankful for so many benefits that His
love offers!
79. But you do not feel those virtues
anymore, because the flesh has
perturbed your spirit and you have
forgotten My teaching; that is why I
come to speak to you about those
feelings which you have removed
from your heart. (11, 4 - 9)
80. You have sinned, adulterated,
offended, and now that you find
yourselves before the truth of My
word, which points out your errors,
you forget your faults and believe that
your Lord is unjust when He speaks to
you of ordeals and restitution. (17, 33)
81. You have been greatly tested,
beloved disciples. for each trial
contains a Mystery for you. You do
not know whether it is designed to
strengthen you in battle, to reveal new
knowledge to you, or to restitute a sin.
You should never attempt to avoid an
ordeal because they were not sent
with that aim and are never greater
than your moral or spiritual strength.
(47, 26)
82. Why do many of you fear that I
have written your destiny in trials,
pains, punishments, and misfortune?
How could you believe that He who
Chapter 62 - Words for the Present Listeners
521
loves you with perfection would
provide you with a road full of
thorns? Truly I tell you, the hazardous
road sown with difficulties is the one
you have chosen through your own
will, believing that it is filled with
pleasures, freedom, and happiness,
not understanding that it is precisely
in the road destined for you, that
which you have abandoned, where
you can find true peace, safety,
strength, health, well - being, and
abundance.
83. This road that I come to offer
you in My Doctrine is that which has
been destined for your spirit since it
was formed, so that traveling on it,
you may find that which you yearn
for. (283, 10 - 11)
84. You judge superficially, as if you
were children, not knowing that the
trials which batter you are of your
own making. And therefore, when
those trials fall upon you, you wish
them gone: that the plan be changed
so that you do not suffer, so that you
do not have to drain the cup of
bitterness.
85. That is because you are unable to
penetrate reality with your spiritual
sight in order to understand that all
that you harvest is what you have
sown, and that all the pain that comes
to you, does so because you have
attracted it.
86. No, you have not learned to
penetrate to truth, and that is why,
when pain fills your hearts, you
believe yourselves the victims of
Divine injustice, but I tell you, in God
there cannot be the least injustice.
87. The love of God is inalterable,
immutable, and eternal, and for that
reason those who believe that the
Divine Spirit can be possessed by
anger, wrath or rage are committing a
grave error; such weaknesses are only
conceivable in those human beings
who lack spiritual elevation and
control of their passions.
88. Sometimes you ask Me: "Lord,
why must we pay the consequences
for actions that are not our own, and
gather the bitter fruit that others
cultivated?" To which I must answer
that you know nothing of this, for you
do not know who you were before,
nor the nature of your earlier works.
(290, 9 - 12)
89. Beloved people, your hearts fill
with satisfaction on thinking that you
are My disciples in this Third Era; yet
I must tell you to never let vanity
blind you, for if you fall into that
weakness, you will ignore even your
conscience when it calls you to
account for your faults. He who does
not begin by cleansing and elevating
his human life may never aspire to
elevate himself spiritually, for his
steps shall be false and his works will
not have the seed of truth.
90. For this reason you sometimes
see that I change from spiritual
teaching to advises, so that you may
conduct yourselves with rectitude in
your human lives. I am speaking to
the hearts of men, urging them to
regeneration and making them
Chapter 62 - Words for the Present Listeners
522
understand the damage that vices
cause the body as well as the ill they
bring the spirit.
91. I have told you that the man who
lets himself be dominated by a vice
has forgotten that his spirit must never
be defeated, and has forgotten that
true fortitude consists of destroying
evil through virtue.
92. That man, defeated by the flesh,
has denigrated himself, has lost
respect for himself, and has lowered
himself from the elevated condition of
being a man, to that of a poor being
too coward to struggle.
93. That man, instead of bearing
light, bread, and wine to his home,
brings shadows, pain, and death,
making heavier his cross and those
borne by his wife and children, and
slowing the spiritual journeys of all
who surround him.
94. Understand that each one of you
who leaves the path of wrong causes
the force of evil to diminish, and that
your life, if it is righteous in its works,
its words, and its thoughts, leaves in
its wake the sowing of good seeds;
and that your counsel, when it springs
from a prepared heart, will have the
strength to bring about prodigies, and
that prayer, when it is born of
thoughts of piety and love shall be a
message of light for He for whom you
ask it. (108, 16)
95. Here, before Me you cleanse
yourselves of every blemish. Oh, if
you could only preserve that limpidity
all along your life! But this
surrounding of spirituality and of
fraternity that you have in this hour of
communion and of teaching, does not
reign in the world; the air that you
breathe is poisoned by sin.
96. But you have felt how in the
measure that you are assimilating My
Doctrine, the chain that binds you to
the world, is falling link by link. (56,
26 - 27)
97. Live always on the alert, for
along your path there will be some
who will say that they are with Me,
but do not believe them at the first
moment; believe them for what they
manifest in humility, in wisdom, in
love.
98. Others will tell you that they
communicate with Me but they are the
first to be deceived, for that reason
you must always be vigilant in the
mission that you have and the position
that you occupy; you need to see, hear
and also forgive a great deal, too. (12,
55 - 56)
99. Be active, do not slumber, or do
you want to wait for the persecutions
to surprise you sleeping? Do you want
to fall into idolatry again? Do you
expect for strange doctrines to come
and impose itselves by force or fear?
100. Be on the alert, because from
the East false prophets will emerge
confusing the people; be united so that
your voice may resound all over the
world and alert humanity in time. (61,
25)
101. Great trials await humanity. Be
vigilant and pray through each
Chapter 62 - Words for the Present Listeners
523
catastrophe and every pain; much pain
will be diminished and some of it will
never arrive at all, for it will be
detained by those who pray.
102. When other religions and sects
observe that the multitudes are
hurrying to follow this people, there
will be some from those religions who
will arise and persecute you. Do not
be afraid, for if you know how to
remain tranquil, the Holy Spirit will
place words upon your lips that will
silence those who insult you.
103. I do not leave you the
murderous sword with which to
defend yourselves; I leave you the
sword of love. Each one of its rays of
light will be a virtue which emerges
from it.
104. You will greatly please the
Father if you are able to convert those
multitudes, who are persecuting My
work, with your words and deeds of
love!
105. This is the lesson that I gave
you in the Second Era which you had
already forgotten.
106. The human mind did suffer
confusion trying to understand the
Marian Trinitarian Spiritualist
teaching because the human being
who is materialistic is awkward
unable to comprehend the spiritual.
(55, 58 - 63)
107. How many have left My table
without having tasted the dishes that I
have lovingly prepared for them.
When will they experience again a
time of great blessings, as in the
present time, in which they came to
earth to hear My word?
108. They are like hardened rocks
who need tempests and time in order
to soften. Their spiritual inheritance
will be kept from them as long as they
are unable to take care of it. However,
it will be returned to them, for I have
said to you that whatever the Father
gives to his children He never takes
back, He simply preserves it. (48, 8)
109. Some of you will be converted
and prepared by My doctrine to seek
after those who have been lost in the
deserts, for that is the way I see
human life - like a desert. There are
those who feel alone amidst millions
of spirits and those who die of thirst
without anyone to offer them a little
water. That is where I will send My
new apostles.
110. I want My name once again to
be pronounced with love by some and
heard with emotion by others. I want
it to be known by those who ignore it.
There are young and old men, women
and children who know nothing of My
existence. I want everyone to know
me and to be aware that they have in
me a most loving Father. I want
everyone to listen to me and to love
me. (50, 3)
111. My Word has come up against
your egotism, that is why I have said
that what I am delivering to you is so
that in turn you will make it known to
your brethren, but you only want to
enjoy My manifestations without
Chapter 62 - Words for the Present Listeners
524
entering into any obligations with the
others.
112. However, the Master has not
called you to teach you useless
lessons, He has come to tell you to
learn this Divine lesson, so that later
you will take advantage of it during
your lifetime putting it into practice
among your fellow men.
113. I reveal to you at this moment
that your spirit has an overdue debt
with anyone who approaches you with
some suffering, with a necessity or
some petition. Behold with how much
love I place them along your path in
order for you to comply with your
restitution making them the object of
your charity. (76, 20)
114. Comply, so you will not have to
return to earth in times of suffering, to
gather the fruit of your faults or that
of your egotism. Fulfill your mission
and then you will return, but it will be
in times of peace to rejoice in caring
for the sowing which you left
unfinished. Today you will not have
Moses leading the way to liberate you
as He did during the First Era; it will
be your conscience which will guide
you. (13, 17)
115. Here there are many who in
other times were doctors of law or
scientists, but who now bring their
awakened minds to spiritual
knowledge, convinced that in limited
human knowledge they will not find
the supreme truth.
116. Here there are those who in
other times were the rich and
powerful of the earth, who have now
come to know poverty and humility. I
bless them for their conformity and
for their yearning for perfection. In
them you have the proof of My loving
justice, making them come again to
earth to show them one more page in
the book of eternal wisdom. (96, 16 -
17)
117. The world offers you many
pleasures, some that I have conceded
you, and others created by men. Now
you see that you have not been able to
reach them, which causes discontent
in some, and sadness in others.
118. I should tell you that to many it
is not given to rest or lose themselves
in the delights and satisfactions of the
material, for their mission is a very
different one.
119. Truly I tell you, in all humanity
there does not exist a spirit that has
not known all the delights and
satisfactions, and tasted all the fruits.
Today your spirit has come to enjoy
the freedom to love Me and not be
again a slave of the world, of gold, of
lust, or of idolatry. (84, 47)
120. See how men, peoples, and
nations give their lives for an ideal,
consuming themselves in the bonfire
of their fighting, dreaming dreams of
earthly glory, of possessions, and of
power. They die for the fleeting
glories of the earth.
121. And you, who begin to ignite in
your spirits a Divine ideal which has
as its goal the conquest of a glory that
will be eternal, will you not devote,
Chapter 62 - Words for the Present Listeners
525
not even your lives, but merely a part
of them to fulfill your duty as
brothers?
122. Above you an unseen battle is
taking place that only those who are
prepared can see. All the evil which is
born of men in their thoughts their
words, and their deeds, all the sin of
the centuries, all the bewildered men
and spirits, all the confusions, the
injustices, the religious fanaticism and
idolatry of men, as well as their
foolish ambitions and falseness, have
gathered in one force that penetrates,
invades, and sweeps all before it turns
against Me. That is the power that
opposes Christ, and great are its hosts,
and mighty its arms, but before men,
not before Me.
123. To those, I will give battle with
the sword of My justice and I shall be
at the head of My armies, of which I
wish you to form a part.
124. While this battle moves those
men who go in search of pleasure,
you, in whom I have confided the
ability to feel that which vibrates in
the Beyond, must pray and keep
watch over your brothers, for in this
way will you be watching over
yourselves.
125. Christ, the principle warrior,
has raised already his sword, it is
necessary that like a scythe it uproot
evil and by its flashing bring light to
the universe.
126. Woe to the world, and to you, if
your lips remain sealed! You are the
spiritual seed of Jacob, and to him I
promised that in you the nations of
earth would be saved and blessed. I
wish to unite you as in one single
family, so that you may be strong.
(84, 55 - 57)
127. I know that in the bosom of this
people great works have been done,
yet, let it be I who know it, though the
world does not know your names.
128. Only I know the true merit or
value of your works, for not even you
yourselves may judge them. At times
a petty achievement seems very grand
to you, and other times you are not
even aware that the merit of an act has
reached Me. (106, 49 - 50)
129. When will you leave your
retreat and your obscurity, you
multitudes who have heard Me? Can
you be delaying your preparation on
purpose, from fear of the struggle?
Truly, I tell you, only He who has not
prepared, fears, for He who knows
My word and who loves his Lord and
his fellow man has nothing to fear,
and will, instead of fleeing humanity,
go in search of them to make them
share in what He has received; for
after studying and analyzing My
lessons, He puts them into practice.
(107, 41)
130. This message bears light for
every religion, for every sect and
creed and for all the different forms of
behavior of men. And yet, what, o
disciples, have you done with My
word? Is this the way you permit the
tree to flower? Let it bloom, for this
shall serve as the proclamation of the
fruit that comes later.
Chapter 62 - Words for the Present Listeners
526
131. Why do you hide these
messages and not give to the world
the surprise of this new Era with its
good news? Why do you not dare to
tell the world that the voice of Christ
sounds among you? Speak, and bear
witness to My teaching by your works
of love, for if there are some who
close their ears so as not to hear you,
others will open theirs, and in them
your voice will be as sweet and
harmonious as the song of the
nightingale. (114, 46)
132. Humanity is awaiting My new
disciples, and yet, if you, who are My
laborers, from fear of the judgment of
the world, abandon the sowing and
your tools, what will become of
humanity? Do you not feel the
responsibility of your charge?
133. Your consciences will never
deceive you, and will always tell you
when you have fulfilled your duties.
The unquiet you feel is a sign that you
have not observed My precepts. (133,
10)
134. You complain at times that the
number of followers of My word
increases slowly, yet, I tell you that
you should complain of yourselves,
for it is you who bear the mission of
bringing the multitudes that form this
people to grow and multiply. But if
you lack faith in your hearts, if your
gifts are undeveloped and if your
understanding lacks the light of
spiritual knowledge, how will you
move others by the virtues of faith
and love that are not developed in
your own hearts?
135. He who does not understand
cannot make others understand; who
does not feel cannot make others feel.
Know then why your lips have
trembled and stuttered when you have
needed to give testimony of My word.
136. He who loves will not hesitate,
He who believes does not fear, and He
who feels has many ways of proving
his sincerity and truth. (172, 24 - 26)
137. Today I come to you with a
teaching that might seem impossible
for the world to practice; once it is
understood it is the easiest to fulfill. I
come to teach the worship of the love
of God through your life, your deeds
and the spiritual prayer, which is not
pronounced by the lips at a
predetermined place, nor is it in need
of forms or images to be so inspired.
(72, 27)
138. I say to you: What are you
waiting for to spread the good news?
By chance, do you pretend to go and
preach among the rubble? I am telling
you and revealing all, so that you may
always have a wise answer for every
question made to you by your
brethren. Behold that you will be
attacked with great arguments that
will fill with fear those who are not
prepared.
139. Engrave My Word and do not
forget the great miracles which I have
granted you so that each one of you
can be a living testimony of My truth;
then whoever scrutinizes you and
Chapter 62 - Words for the Present Listeners
527
prods into My Word, will find that it
does not contradict in anything of
what I said and foretold during past
eras.
140. The struggle will be great, to
the extent that some, having been My
disciples will become fearful and
deny Me, saying that they never heard
Me.
141. To those who know how to be
faithful to My commandments and are
able to cope with the struggle, I shall
cover with a mantle with which they
will defend themselves and they will
come out unharmed from any
situation.
142. To the one who wrongly sows
this seed and profanes the purity of
this Work, there shall be a judgment,
the persecution of men and uneasiness
at every moment. It is necessary for
each one to know the tree He has
cultivated, by the taste of its fruit.
143. I have reserved great miracles
for the period of the spiritual struggle
of My people, miracles and deeds that
will amaze the wise men and the
scientists; I will never forsake you to
your own strength. Do not become
blinded when humanity ridicules you,
do not forget that in the Second Era
the multitudes mocked your Master.
(63, 42 - 44)
144. In truth I tell you that the world
is against you, and therefore I prepare
you to know how to defend the cause
of your faith with the arms of love and
charity. I tell you that you will
triumph even when your victory is
unknown.
145. This time your sacrifice will not
be in blood, although you shall know
calamity and disrespect. Still, the
Master shall be there to defend and
comfort you, no disciple will be alone.
(148, 17)
146. People, do not learn more about
perversity, but combat it without
boasting of your purity, nor should
you be scandalized by the faults of
your brothers. Be discrete, sensible,
and opportune in your speech and
actions, and the world will hear and
pay attention to your teaching. Is it
necessary to tell you again that before
you disseminate this Doctrine, you
must live it? (89, 66)
147. It is necessary that My people
arise among nations giving an
example of brotherhood, harmony,
charity, and understanding; like a
soldier of peace in the midst of those
who again take the Divine teachings
to duel, harm each other, and take one
another's lives. (131, 58)
148. Come to understand that you all
love the same God, and do not duel
over the differences in the manner in
which one or the other has been doing
so.
149. It is necessary that you
understand that there are beings in
whom their beliefs, customs, and
traditions have grown roots so deep
that they will not initially be easy to
pull up when first you instruct them.
Have patience, and over the years you
will succeed. (141, 9)
Chapter 62 - Words for the Present Listeners
528
150. When the year 1950 ends there
will be uncertainty and doubt in many
of you.
151. Why do some who are of
greater intelligence than those who
believe in My message doubt My
manifestations? - Because it is not
human knowledge or the mind that is
capable of judging My truth, and
when men understand this, they are
invaded by fear of all that is new; and
all that they judge as unknown, makes
them reject it unconsciously.
152. And you, the weak, the
unprepared, those who cannot reach
the heights of the men known for their
intelligence: It is you who believe,
who have faith, and who know how to
penetrate the depths of the spiritual
Mysteries. Why? Because it is the
spirit that reveals to the mind the
eternal life and its wonders.
153. Human intelligence represents a
force with which you must take up
battle, for through it man has forged
concepts and ideas of the spiritual that
have not been revealed to him by the
spirit.
154. You will be strong for that
battle, with a fortitude that also
proceeds from the spirit. Your
strength will never be based in your
material form, nor in the power of
your money, nor in earthly support.
Your faith in the truth alone will lead
you to victory in the contest. (249, 44
- 46)
155. Do not fear if they call you
confused, but offer your hand to all.
Understand that this work, which to
you is true, to others could seem false,
for according to them it lacks the
consecration that the religions have
gained by being recognized.
156. If you have faith in Me, if you
believe I manifest Myself in the words
of these spokesmen, do not fear the
judgment of your brothers; for My
doctrine is so eloquent, and so many
truths are present in My message, that
if you know how to use these
weapons you will not be easily
defeated.
157. None can reproach you for
eagerly seeking the truth and the
perfection; all have a sacred right to
them, and that is why you have been
endowed with the freedom to seek the
light. (297, 51 - 53)
158. When you begin to fulfill your
mission, and go to the nations, to even
the most distant peoples in the very
jungle, you will find human beings,
and you will make them understand
that all are brothers, you will bear
witness to them of My Spiritual
Doctrine, and you will marvel at the
proofs of love that I will give you.
159. There, among the beings
isolated from civilization, but also
isolated from human perversity, you
will find great spirits that will come to
swell the ranks of the people of Israel.
160. Where you go, the sick shall
receive the balsam and be healed,
while the saddened shall cry for the
last time, but with tears of joy.
161. And before these proofs that
you give, the multitudes shall bless
Chapter 62 - Words for the Present Listeners
529
the Lord and his disciples. You will
be acclaimed as on that day when the
Master entered Jerusalem.
162. But among those who acclaim
you will arise men and women full of
the gifts you possess. In some the gift
for prophesy will astonish, from
others My balsam will flow
unceasingly, while from yet others
My Word will spring like crystal clear
water. And in this way will you see
that the gifts of the Holy Spirit arise
among your brothers like an
inexhaustible seed. (311, 38 - 40)
163. People, a seeming peace has
been made among nations, but do not
preach that peace has come; seal your
lips, for true peace will not be built on
foundations of fear nor material
convenience, but must be born of love
and brotherhood.
164. Men are building on sand, not
rock, and when the waves come again
they will batter those walls and their
structure will fall to the earth. (141,
70 - 71)
165. Since the First Era I have
spoken to you through My prophets,
to guide you rather than force you to
comply with My Law.
166. But that time has passed; the
human spirit has evolved and has
reached maturity so that it can
comprehend its mission as a spirit.
Humanity, which finds itself so close
to the abyss, to perdition, needs your
spiritual help.
167. That battle, the final battle, the
most terrible and tremendous:
between darkness and light. All the
spirits of darkness are gathering, and
the spirits of light must confront that
power.
168. Awaken, o you who have heard
Me and who bear the light of the Holy
Spirit, awaken, and do not lose time in
material pleasures and temporary
ambitions. Fight for humanity. Fight,
so that the Kingdom of the Father
might come to this world. That is the
mission that I give, to the most
humble and to the most prepared.
169. The Spiritual World is with
you, and above all is the Father, full
of love and mercy. The Father, with
infinite pain, sees the suffering that
men themselves are causing one
another.
170. That is the struggle of the light
against darkness, and each of you
must struggle until victory is reached.
(358, 20 - 23)
My peace be with you !
530
531
Chapter 63 - Teachings for the Congregations
and All the Disciples of Christ
The Spiritual Work of Christ
1. Enjoy My presence, beloved
People, celebrate in your hearts, and
tremble with happiness, for you have
finally seen the coming of the day of
the Lord.
2. You have feared the arrival of this
day because you have still thought as
did the ancients, that the heart of your
Father was vengeful, that it held a
grudge for the offenses received and
so would bring the sickle, the whip,
and the cup of bitterness to carry out
revenge on those who so much and so
often gave offense.
3. But great has been your surprise
upon finding that in the Spirit of God,
anger cannot exist, nor can rage or
disgust, and if the world weeps and
laments as never before, it is not
because the Father has given them
those fruits to eat or made them drink
from that cup, it is rather that
humanity now gathers the harvest
sown by its works.
4. It is true that all the calamities
unleashed in this Era were
prophesized aforetime, but do not
think that because they were
announced your Lord brought them as
a punishment; on the contrary, in all
the eras I have protected you from
evil and from temptations, and have
helped you to get up again after your
falls. Furthermore I have placed
within your reach all the means
necessary so that you can save
yourselves. Recognize, however, that
you have been unbelieving and deaf to
My calls. (160, 40 - 41)
5. Woe to those who in this time do
not struggle to light their lamps, for
they shall be lost. That is why, this
being the time of light, there are
shadows everywhere.
6. You know, from My own words,
that I chose this nation in which to
manifest Myself in My third coming,
but the reason, is unknown to you, it
has been a Mystery to you; however
the Master, who does not wish to have
secrets from his disciples, comes to
reveal to you all that you must know,
so that you may answer correctly
those who might ask.
7. I have seen that the dwellers of
this corner of the earth have always
loved Me and sought Me out, and
even when their worship has not been
always perfect, I have received their
intentions and their love like a flower
of innocence, sacrifice, and suffering.
That fragrant flower has always been
present upon the altar of My Divinity.
8. You have been prepared to fulfill
this great mission in the Third Era.
9. Today you know that in your
bosom I have caused the people of
Israel to be reincarnated; this I
revealed to you. Understand that the
seed that breathes in your being, and
the inner light that guides you is the
same that I poured out since the First
Era over the house of Jacob.
Chapter 63 - Teachings for the Congregations and All the Disciples of Christ
532
10. You are Israelites of the spirit,
you possess spiritually, the seed of
Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. You are
branches of the blessed tree that gives
both shade and fruit to humanity.
11. That is why I name you My first
- born, and why I sought you out in
this Era to manifest in you My third
revelation to the world.
12. It is My will that the people of
Israel resurge spiritually among
humanity so that they may behold the
true resurrection of the flesh. (183, 33
- 35)
13. Did you think, perchance, that I
would give My word to all the
peoples of the earth? No. In that, My
manifestation is like those of times
past. By manifesting Myself to only
one people, these were given the
mission of spreading the good news
and the seed received in My message.
(185, 20)
14. Let other nations awaken to the
new Era as they contemplate regions
devastated by the waters, nations
destroyed by war and pestilence
annihilating lives. Those people,
conceited in their knowledge and
lethargic in the splendor of their
religions, will not recognize My Word
through this humble means, nor feel
My manifestation in spirit; therefore,
the earth will have to be shaken first,
and Nature will say to men: The time
has arrived and the Father has come
among you.
15. In order for mankind to awaken,
let them open their eyes and accept
that I am the One who has arrived;
first the power and pride of man will
be touched, but you have as your
mission to be vigilant, to pray and to
prepare yourselves. (62, 53)
16. I promised you during that Era to
return among mankind, and here I am
fulfilling that promise, even though
many centuries have passed. Your
spirit longed for My presence in his
wish for peace, in his hunger for truth,
in his yearning for knowledge, and
My Spirit has descended to make you
hear a teaching in accordance with the
period in which you live. How can
men wish to keep on living as they
have done until now? It is no longer
time for them to be at a standstill
spiritually nor lethargic in the practice
of rituals and traditions. (77, 19)
17. Many men of recognized
wisdom in the world will not be able
to recognize me in this form and will
deny me, but do not let that surprise
you, for I have already announced it
to you long ago when I said: “Blessed
are you, Father, who revealed your
truth to the humble and kept it from
the wise and knowledgeable.”
18. But it is not that I hide My truth
from anyone. Rather, those who are
clean in their understanding, in the
poverty and insignificance can feel
me better, whereas scholarly men are
not able to understand nor feel me
because their minds are filled with
theories, philosophies, and certain
beliefs. But the truth is for everyone,
Chapter 63 - Teachings for the Congregations and All the Disciples of Christ
533
and it will come to each one at the
designated time. (50, 45)
19. He who knows My Law but
conceals it cannot be called My
disciple; He who delivers My truth
only with his lips and not with his
heart is not imitating Me. He who
speaks of love but with his deeds
proves the opposite, is a traitor to My
lessons.
20. He who arises disregarding the
purity and perfection of Mary is
torpid, because in his ignorance He
defies God, denying His power. He
who denies My truth in the Third Era
and rejects the immortality of the
spirit, is sleeping and does not recall
the prophesies of past times that
announced the revelations which
Humanity is living during this period.
(73, 28 - 29)
21. They shall come to test Me,
wishing to show you that you are in
error. If I do not give them My name,
they will say that it is not I [who
speak]; and if I answer their ill -
intentioned questions, more
vehemently they will deny Me.
22. And so I will tell them: He who
wishes to enter the Kingdom of Light
shall need to seek it with his heart, but
He who wishes to live denying Me,
shall have denied the Divine wisdom
to his own spirit, causing all the clear
and luminous revelation to be for him
both secret and Mysterious. (90, 49 -
50)
23. Now, I journey among you, as I
did in that time, but the time
approaches when I shall cease
speaking to you, and humanity has not
yet felt My presence.
24. From this mount, from where I
see you and send you My word, I
shall have to exclaim on the eve of
My departure: “Humanity, humanity!
You have not known whom you had
among you!” As in the Second Era,
being near My death, I contemplated
the city from the mount, and cried
between tears, “Jerusalem, O
Jerusalem, you have not known the
good you have had.”
25. It was not the world for which I
cried, it was for the spirit of humanity
still without light and with much
weeping ahead before reaching the
truth. (274, 68 - 69)
26. Many centuries have gone by
since the day in which I gave you My
word and My last recommendations
through Jesus. Today, I appear before
you as the Holy Spirit, fulfilling My
promise to you.
27. I have not come to be human. I
come in spirit and only those who are
prepared will perceive me.
28. While you believe in My word
and follow me, others do not accept
My manifestation and deny it. I have
had to give them great trails, and
thanks to it, I have been overcoming
their disbelief.
29. The love and patience which I
have always manifested to you make
you understand that only your Father
can love you and teach you in this
Chapter 63 - Teachings for the Congregations and All the Disciples of Christ
534
way. I watch over you and lighten
your cross so that you do not stumble.
I have you feel My peace so that you
walk filled with trust in me. (32, 4)
30. My word, My lecture today,
apparently is only for you, but truly I
say that it is for everyone, because its
wisdom and love embraces all of the
universe; it unifies all the worlds and
all the incarnated and disembodied
spirits. Come near if you need Me;
seek Me if you feel lost.
31. I am your Father who knows
your afflictions and comes to comfort
you. I come to instill My love, which
you need so much for yourselves and
to spread around you.
32. If you truly recognize My
presence through the wisdom that I
manifest through these faculties,
recognize also that it is the moment to
begin constructive Work along the
spiritual path.
33. Oh! If only all those who have
been called would attend, truly I say
that the table on the Lord would be
filled with disciples and all would
partake of the same nourishment! But
not all those Invited have come; they
have feigned other occupations,
relegating the Divine call to second
place.
34. Blessed are the ones who have
come promptly, for they have their
reward. (12, 76 - 80)
35. Not all those who have received
gifts in this Era are here listening to
Me; see how many empty spaces there
are at the table, for many of My
students, after receiving a benefit,
have fled from their responsibilities
and missions. Oh, if they only knew
here on the earth, the promises their
spirits made to Me before coming to
the world! (86, 43)
36. I am leaving you the Third
Testament when you have not yet
understood the first two. If you had
been prepared in this time it wouldn’t
have been necessary for My word to
be materialized, because I would
speak to you spiritually, and you
would respond with your love. (86,
49)
37. This is the light of the Third Era;
but He who says that it is not God
who speaks to you, but rather this
man, submit him to a test, because
verily I say to you: While My Divine
ray of light does not inspire his mind,
even though you threaten him with
death, you would not force from him
words of essence and truth.
38. There is nothing strange that in
the same manner that the spirits make
use of their bodies to speak and
manifest themselves, for an instant
they separate from them, so that in
their place is manifested the Father of
all spirits: God.
39. I come to you because you do
not know how to reach Me, and I
teach you that the most pleasing
prayer that reaches the Father is that
which in silence rises from your spirit.
That prayer is what attracts My ray of
light, through which you listen to Me.
Chapter 63 - Teachings for the Congregations and All the Disciples of Christ
535
It is not the hymns or words which
please My Divinity. (59, 57 - 59)
40. You cannot say My word is not
clear, or that it harbors imperfections,
for no confusion at all can ever
proceed from Me. If in it you find any
error, attribute it to the
misunderstanding of the speaker, or to
your own misinterpretation, but never
to My Doctrine. Woe to the speaker
who distorts My words. Woe to He
who reports it wrongly and profanes
My teaching, for He will be
constantly troubled by his conscience,
and lose the tranquility of his spirit.
(108, 51)
41. In order to please you I say to
you that if you do not want Me to
make use of sinful bodies to give you
My love, show Me a just and cleansed
person; point out someone who
among you is able to love, and I
assure you that I will use him.
42. Understand that I make use of
sinners, to attract sinners, for I have
not come to save the just, they are
already in the realm of light. (16, 25)
43. Observe how this seed, in spite
of your having cultivated it poorly,
does not die. Look at how it has
continued to defeat darkness,
dilemmas, and trials while continuing
to grow and develop day by day. Why
does this seed not die? Because the
truth is immortal, it is eternal.
44. For that reason you will see that
just when it looks like this Doctrine is
to disappear, new and fertile
outbreaks will surge forth to help men
take a step forward on the road of
spirituality. (99, 20)
45. Analyze My lessons, and then
tell Me if this Doctrine can be
embraced in any of your religions.
46. I have revealed to you its
character and its universal essence,
which does not apply only to portions
of humanity, or to some peoples, but
goes beyond the limits of your world
to include all infinity, with all the
dwellings inhabited by the children of
God as is this world.
47. See how My word, is not, and
could not be, a new religion; this work
is the luminous road on which all the
ideas, beliefs, and religions must unite
spiritually to come to the gates of the
Promised Land. (310, 39)
48. My teaching, by which your
spirit is nourished, leads you to
become teachers, the faithful apostles
of the Holy Spirit.
49. I shall present you before
mankind as My helpers, as the
Spiritual Trinitarian Marian followers
of the Third Era. The spiritualists,
because you shall be more spirit than
flesh; as Trinitarians, because you
have received My manifestation in
three eras; as Marians because you
love Mary, your Universal Mother,
who is the One who has watched over
you so that you do not weaken in your
journey. (70, 36)
50. Those who hear My word
through human understanding will not
Chapter 63 - Teachings for the Congregations and All the Disciples of Christ
536
be the only ones named as children of
this people, for all those who embrace
their crosses, all who love this Law
and who spread its seed will be called
laborers in My fields, apostles of My
Work, and children of this people,
even when they have not heard me
through this manifestation. (94, 12)
51. How can you think, people, that
because you gather in different places
you are for that reason distant from
each other? Only ignorance prevents
you from being aware of the spiritual
bonds that unite all the children of the
Lord. (191, 51)
52. When you visit one or another of
the meeting places, and when through
the various spokesmen you hear the
same words, your hearts are filled
with joy and faith and you take that
lesson as true proof that these
congregations are united in
spirituality. But when you witness a
deficient manifestation, you feel a
wound in your heart, and you
understand that the unity that must
exist in this people is not present
there, or is not manifested.
53. I wish you to be My good and
humble disciples who do not covet
high posts or honors within the
congregation, but whose goal is only
the obtaining of perfection through
virtue and the following of My
teachings so that your lives can be
examples. What does it serve to have
ranks, titles, or names if you do not
have the merit to possess them? (165,
17)
54. My work is not just one of many
doctrines; it is not just one of many
sects in the world. This revelation I
have brought you is the eternal law,
but you have mixed many rites and
impurities with it because of your lack
of spirituality and understanding, to
the point of distorting it. How many
practices have you added to My
doctrine, saying and believing that all
you do is inspired or ordered by Me?
(197, 48)
55. You will enter the bosom of a
humanity tired of superficial worship
and fed up with religious fanaticism,
and so I tell you that the message of
spirituality that you carry will reach
their hearts like cool and refreshing
dew.
56. Do you think the world will
recognize you as bearers of a Divine
message if you come with fanatical
cults and practices opposed to
spirituality? Truly I tell you, they will
take you for the fanatics of a new sect.
57. Faced with the clarity with which
I speak to you, some ask Me: How is
it possible that we are to ignore many
of the practices left us by Roque
Rojas?
58. To which I answer, that is why I
gave you the example in the Second
Era, when I made the people
understand that in complying with
rites, forms, traditions, and holy days
they had forgotten that which is
essential, the Law.
59. I reminded you of that action of
your Master, so that you will
Chapter 63 - Teachings for the Congregations and All the Disciples of Christ
537
understand that you should now forget
about traditions and ceremonies, even
if you learned them from Roque
Rojas, just as the people in that time
had inherited them from Moses.
60. I do not mean to say thereby that
they taught you anything that was
wrong. No, they had the need to recur
to symbols and acts that helped the
people to understand the Divine
revelations, but once that objective
was fulfilled it was necessary to erase
any useless form or symbol and to
allow the light of truth to shine. (253,
29 - 32)
61. How much pain has been caused
to My heart by those servants who
have not understood My Law, and
how much pain is caused by those,
who having been prepared and
dedicated, now give room to doubt
and uncertainty because in their
misunderstanding and selfishness they
say that I will remain a while longer
among the people; that My Universal
Ray will descend once more in
response to their human will, and that
I would continue manifesting for a
long time.
62. That is why I have asked: When
have I ever shown indecision,
uncertainty, or a divided will in My
word? Never. For I would cease being
perfect, I would cease to be your God
and your Creator.
63. In Me there is decision and one
single will; for that reason I speak in
the full light of day, so that all can
feel Me in My power and presence,
and so their spirits might recognize
the truth and the word that I have
given you through the channel of
human understanding.
64. The Master tells you: Man has
constructed houses and named them
temples, and in those places the
people enter and offer reverences,
feeding fanaticism and idolatry, and
adoring things made by men
themselves. That is abominable in My
eyes, and for that reason it has pleased
me to take from you, people of Israel,
all that you heard and knew in the
beginning, so that you would lose
your fanaticism.
65. The houses of worship of the
Israelite people shall be known by
humanity, they shall not be closed, for
they shall shelter the weak and lost,
the tired and the sick. And through
your preparation, for your obedience
to My supreme will and your
respecting of My Law, I will make
Myself known in the works of the true
disciples of My Divinity.
66. Do not be concerned that along
the way false spokesmen, false
guides, and false laborers arise, or that
their blaspheming lips speak to the
peoples saying that My Word and My
Universal Ray remain among the
people as teachings.
67. I will make known the
imposters: they who are not fulfilling
the Law according to My will; who
manifest only their own free will and I
will make known the work that they
have made, and the law that they have
prepared; they shall be unknown and
exiled.
Chapter 63 - Teachings for the Congregations and All the Disciples of Christ
538
68. For while temptation makes
them fall into its net, I will retain the
Divine grace and power, and so all
those who seek them out will fail to
sense the grace of My Holy Spirit in
their spirits. (363, 52 - 56)
69. Without proclaiming that you are
My apostles, you shall be so. And
though you are teachers you will call
yourselves pupils.
70. Do not wear clothing that
distinguishes you from others. Do not
carry books in your hands; do not
build places of worship.
71. You shall not have on earth the
center or the foundation of My Work,
nor shall you have before you any
man to represent Me.
72. The guides you have had until
now [before 1950], are the final ones.
Prayer, spirituality, and the practice of
My Doctrine shall guide the
multitudes on the path of light. (246,
30 - 31)
73. Would it be just, I ask My
disciples, for a perfect work, like that
I have come to reveal, to be brought
before humanity, only to have it
judged a falsehood, or to have it be
seen as merely “one more” of the
doctrines and theories that have arisen
as the fruit of the spiritual confusion
that reigns in these times?
74. Would it be right that you, who I
have so loved, and who I have
prepared through My word so that
your testimony will be clean, fall
victims of your own errors, into the
hands of the justice of the earth; or
that you be persecuted, and scattered
because you are considered dangerous
to your brothers?
75. Do you think My doctrine,
practiced correctly, could bring about
these things? No, disciples.
76. Allow Me to speak to you this
way, for I know what I do. Tomorrow,
when I have ceased speaking to you
this way, you will know why and will
say: “The Master knew well the
weaknesses we would suffer; nothing
escapes his wisdom.” (252, 26 - 27)
77. I am preparing you for the time
when you no longer hear My word;
for the people will then call you the
people without God, the people
without temples; for you will have no
regal places to offer Me worship, nor
celebrate in ceremonies, nor seek Me
in images.
78. Yet I shall leave you a book, as
the testament that will be your fortress
in the trials, and the path by which
you guide your steps. These words
that today you hear through the
speaker, tomorrow shall leap from the
scripture so that you may enjoy them
again, and so that they will be heard
by the multitudes that come in that
time. (129, 24)
79. I am leaving a new book to
humanity, a new Testament: My word
of the Third Era, the Divine voice that
has spoken to mankind upon the
opening of the Sixth Seal.
80. It will not be necessary for your
names or your works to pass into
history. My Word is in this book as a
Chapter 63 - Teachings for the Congregations and All the Disciples of Christ
539
vibrant and clear voice speaking
eternally to the human heart, and My
people shall leave the mark of their
passing upon this path of spirituality.
(102, 28 - 29)
81. The gathering places where My
word has been manifested have
multiplied, each of them being like a
school of true knowledge where the
multitudes that make up My disciples
congregate, eager to learn the new
lesson.
82. If each of these congregations
gave testimony of the benefits
received from My charity, the
testimony of those prodigies would
never end. And if you had to gather in
a book all I have said through all My
spokesmen, from the first of My
words to the last, it would be a task
you could never finish.
83. And yet, through My people, I
must bring a book to humanity that
contains the essence of My word, and
testimony of the works that I have
done among you. Do not fear to throw
yourselves into this task, for I will
inspire you so that in that book are
placed the indispensable teachings.
(152, 39 - 41)
84. The essence of this word has not
varied since the beginning of its
manifestation when I spoke through
the channel of Damiana Oviedo; My
Doctrine is still the same.
85. And yet, where is the essence of
those words? What became of it? The
records of those first Divine messages
of this era, in which I poured out the
Word upon you, are hidden.
86. It is necessary that those lessons
come to light, so that tomorrow you
know how to give testimony about the
beginning of this manifestation. And
so you will know the date of My first
lesson and its content, as well as that
of the last, which I gave you in the
year 1950, the year marked for the
ending of this period. (127, 14 - 15)
87. It is necessary that you speak
with those who hide My word and
adulterate My teachings; speak to
them with perfect clarity. I will help
you to present yourselves to them, for
it shall be those men who cause My
work to be censored and My Law
altered because they have added to
My Work that which does not belong
there. (340, 39)
88. I brought you this word and have
had you hear it in your language; but I
give you the mission of later
translating it into other languages in
order that it might be known by all.
89. In this manner you will begin to
build the true tower of Israel, the one
which will spiritually unite all nations
into one, the one which will unite all
men in that Divine, unchangeable, and
eternal law, which in the world you
came to know through the lips of
Jesus when He told you, “Love one
another”. (34, 59 - 60)
Chapter 63 - Teachings for the Congregations and All the Disciples of Christ
540
Spiritual Israel and the Jewish
People
90. Israel I call the people who I
congregate around My new
revelation, for none know better than I
the spirit that dwells in each of those
called in this, the Third Era.
91. Israel is a word that has a
spiritual significance, and that name I
give to you so that you may keep in
mind that you form part of the people
of God, for Israel is not any people of
the earth, but a world of spirits.
92. That name will arise again on
earth, but without error, in its true
essence, which is spiritual.
93. You must know the origin and
meaning of that name; your belief that
you are children of that people must
be absolute, and you need to
understand fully from whom and why
you have received that name, so that
you may face up to the attacks you
receive in future from those who give
another meaning to the name of Israel.
(274, 47 - 50)
94. I want your obedience. I want
you to form a people strong in faith
and spirituality, for just as I made the
generations born of Jacob to multiply
in spite of the great tribulations that
afflicted that people, so too I will
cause you who bear that seed to
endure in your struggles, so that your
people will again multiply like the
stars in the sky or the grains of sand
by the sea.
95. So that you may have a fuller
understanding of your destiny, I have
made you understand that spiritually
you are part of that people of Israel;
yet I have told you not to proclaim
these prophecies until humanity itself
discovers them.
96. For as the Israelite people exist
yet on earth, the Jews of the flesh,
they shall deny you, and claim the
name from you, without that being
sufficient cause for dispute.
97. They as yet know nothing of
you, while you know much about
them. As I have revealed to you, that
people, wandering without peace in
their spirits, move step by step, and
without knowing it, toward the
crucified one whom they will
recognize as their Lord and before
whom they will implore forgiveness
for such ingratitude and such
stubbornness when faced with his
love.
98. My body was taken down from
the cross, yet, for those who have
denied Me throughout the centuries, I
remain nailed there, waiting for the
moment of their awakening and
repentance to give them all that I
brought for them, but which they did
not wish to receive. (86, 11 - 13)
99. Do not, in this era, imitate the
Jewish people of the Second Era, who
from their traditionalism,
conservativism, and fanaticism were
unable to consume the bread brought
them from the Kingdom of Heaven by
the Messiah whom they had awaited
for centuries and centuries, but whom,
when the time came, they were unable
to recognize because their materialism
did not permit them to see the light of
truth. (225, 19)
Chapter 63 - Teachings for the Congregations and All the Disciples of Christ
541
100. You will see your brothers
come from faraway lands and nations
in search of their spiritual freedom.
As when the tribes of Israel crossed
the desert, they will also come in
multitudes from that ancient Palestine.
101. Their journey has been long and
painful since the time they rejected
the Messiah who had come to offer
them his Kingdom as a new heritage.
But they are approaching the oasis
where they will rest and meditate on
My word, so that after they are
strengthened by having recognized
My law, they might follow the long
forgotten path designated for their
evolution.
102. Then you will hear that many
will say that your nation is the new
Promised Land, the New Jerusalem.
But you will tell them that they will
find that Promised Land beyond this
world, and that in order to reach it one
must do so in spirit after crossing the
great desert of trials of this time. Also,
you will tell them that this nation is no
more than an oasis in the middle of
the desert.
103. But you must understand, My
people, that the oasis must give shade
to the weary travelers in addition to
offering its pure and fresh waters to
the lips of those who thirst and seek
shelter.
104. What is the shade and water of
which I speak? It is My Doctrine, O
people, My Divine teaching of
charity. In whom have I deposited this
abundance of grace and blessings? In
you, O people, so that you may
eliminate all selfishness from your
hearts and show it like a clean mirror
in every one of your works.
105. Would not your spirits and your
hearts be filled with joy if, through
your love, those people who are
spiritually unenlightened and attached
to their traditions, were able to be
converted to the Marian Trinitarian
Spiritualist Doctrine? Would there not
be joy among you if the people of old
Israel were shown the true path by the
people of new Israel, that is to say that
the first would attain grace through
the last?
106. Up until now, nothing has
convinced the Jewish people that it
should break ancient traditions in
order to reach its moral and spiritual
evolution. These are the people who
believe that they are following the
laws of Jehovah and of Moses but
who in reality still continue to
worship the golden calf.
107. The time is near for those
wandering people, scattered
throughout the world, to cease to look
toward earth, and to elevate their eyes
toward heaven in search of the one
who from the beginning was promised
as their savoir, but whom they
rejected and killed because they
thought He was poor and that He had
nothing. (35, 55 - 58)
108. Do not take it as distinction that
I chose one people from among those
on earth; I love all My children, and
all the peoples formed by them.
109. Every people has a mission on
earth, and the destiny that Israel has
brought with them is to be a prophet
Chapter 63 - Teachings for the Congregations and All the Disciples of Christ
542
of God among humanity, a beacon of
faith, and the path to perfection.
110. The revelations and prophecies
that I have made from the first times
were not correctly interpreted,
because the time for humanity to
understand them had not yet arrived.
111. Yesterday, Israel was a people
on the earth; today, it is a multitude
scattered across the earth; tomorrow,
the people of God will be formed by
all the spirits, and in perfect harmony
together with the Father, they will
form the Divine family. (221, 27 - 30)
Ministry and Spirituality
112. Learn to love, to bless, and to
forgive one another; to be meek and
gentle, righteous and noble, and
understand that, if you do not do so,
you will not have in your life even the
slightest reflection of the deeds of
Christ, your Master.
113. I speak to everyone, and I invite
you to destroy the errors that for so
many centuries have hindered you in
your evolution. (21, 22 - 23)
114. Do not forget that your origin is
in My love. Today your heart is
hardened because of egotism, but
when it becomes sensitive again to
every spiritual inspiration, it will feel
love toward its fellow men and will
experience someone else’s pain as if it
were its own. Then you will be
capable of complying with the precept
that says to you: “Love one another”.
(80, 15)
115. This world is a proper place
where you can work; in it is suffering,
sickness, sin in all its forms, vice,
disunity, misled young people, elderly
people without dignity, bad science,
hatred, war, and falsehood.
116. Those are the fields where you
are to work and sow; but if that
struggle awaiting you among mankind
seems gigantic to you, truly I say to
you that even if it seems monumental
it does not compare with what you
will have to deal with yourselves: a
struggle of the spirit, of reason and of
the conscience, against passions of the
flesh, its self - love, its egotism, its
materiality. And while you have not
triumphed over your own self, how
can you sincerely talk about love,
obedience, humility and spirituality to
your brethren? (73, 18 - 19)
117. Virtue has been spurned and
regarded as something harmful or
useless; now the time has come when
you will understand that only virtue
will save you; it will make you feel
peace and fill you with satisfaction;
but virtue has yet to suffer many
setbacks and humiliations before it
can penetrate all hearts.
118. The warriors who shall defend
it will have to fight with a great effort
and faith. Where are those warriors of
righteousness, charity and peace? Do
you believe that you are the ones?
119. You examine yourselves
inwardly, and answer Me that you are
not the ones; but I say that with good
will, all of you can be of those
warriors; why, otherwise, do you
believe that I have come among you?
(64, 16)
Chapter 63 - Teachings for the Congregations and All the Disciples of Christ
543
120. Love, speak when you should,
be quiet when it is appropriate. To no
one say that you are My chosen. Flee
from adulation and do not publicize
the charity you do, but work in
silence, testifying by your works of
love to the truth in My doctrine.
121. To love is your destiny. Love,
for you will thereby cleanse the stains
from both this and your previous
lives. (113, 58 - 59)
122. Reject adulation, for it is a
weapon that destroys your noble
sentiments. It is the sword that can kill
the faith I have ignited in your heart.
123. How can you let men destroy
the altar you bear in the depths of
your being? (106, 47 - 48)
124. Do not confuse humility with
poverty of dress; nor should you
believe that He is humble who
believing in his own inferiority makes
that the reason to bow to others and
serve them. I tell you that He who is
truly humble, values who He is, and
knowing that He has some
knowledge, knows how to descend to
others and enjoy sharing what He has
with them.
125. How gratified do you feel,
when a man who is noted among men
shows you a sign of affection, of
understanding and humility. You can
give that same feeling to those that
are, or who feel, inferior to you.
126. Know how to lower yourself, to
offer your hand without feeling
superior, and to be understanding. I
tell you that in these cases it is not
only He who receives the evidence of
affection, or the help and consolation,
who enjoys it, but also He who gives
it, for He knows that above him there
is One who has given him proof of his
love and humility, and that One is his
Lord God. (101, 60 - 62)
127. Live with purity, humility, and
simplicity. Comply with all that is
just, both in being human and in what
refers to your spirit. Remove from
your lives all that is superfluous,
contrived, or harmful, and enjoy all
the good that is found in your
existence. (131, 51)
128. Do not see anyone as an
eneMy, but see all men as your
brothers; that is your mission. If you
persevere in this to the end, justice
and love will triumph on the earth,
and it will give you the peace and
security that you so yearn for. (123,
65)
129. Give your heart the freedom to
feel the pains of others, do not restrict
it, or dedicate it solely to feeling that
which affects yourself. Stop being
indifferent to the trials that humanity
is passing through.
130. When will your love be grand
enough to embrace your fellow men
and love them as you do those who
are of your flesh and blood?
131. If you were told that you are
more of spirit than flesh, many would
not believe it. Yet I tell you that you
are more truly brothers in the spirit
than through that shell you wear, for
Chapter 63 - Teachings for the Congregations and All the Disciples of Christ
544
the spirit belongs to eternity and in
contrast the material is fleeting.
132. Consider the truth, that families
here on earth are formed today, and
tomorrow disintegrate, while the
spiritual family exists forever. (290,
39 - 41)
133. Do you believe, hearing these
words, that I could disseminate
hostility or ill will in your heart
toward your brothers who profess
different religions? Never, disciples. It
is you who must give an example of
brotherhood and harmony, seeing and
loving all with the same affection with
which you look at those who
understand your way of thinking.
(297, 49)
134. I know that the greater your
knowledge, the greater will be your
love for Me. Do you know what it
means when I tell you to love Me? It
means to love truth, love life, love the
light, and love one another: to love the
true life. (297, 57 - 58)
135. Know, disciples, that the goal
of your search is that spiritual state
which pain cannot reach, and that
state is reached by merit, by struggle,
through trial, sacrifice, and
renunciation.
136. Observe these cases of patience,
faith, humility, and conformity that
you sometimes see in your brothers.
They are spirits sent by Me to give an
example of virtue among humanity.
The destiny of these creatures appears
sad, and yet they, in their faith, know
they have come to fulfill a mission.
137. You have gathered the great
examples of My envoys and disciples
in your histories and know their
names by heart, but do not for that
reason ignore the small examples you
touch along your road. (298, 30 - 32)
138. Do not believe that prophets,
forerunners, and spirits of light have
existed only in the bosom of the
people of Israel. To other peoples also
I have sent some of these, but men
took them as gods, not as envoys, and
under their teachings created religions
and cults. (135, 15)
139. See first, disciples, the timber
you bear, before you fix yourselves on
the mote in your brother’s eye.
140. By this I mean that you must
not take My Doctrine to judge the
actions of your brothers in their own
various religions.
141. Truly I tell you, that on all
those paths there are hearts that seek
Me through lives that are noble and
studded with sacrifice.
142. My disciples, nonetheless, often
ask Me why I permit this diversity of
ideas that are sometimes contradictory
and create differences and even hatred
between men.
143. The Master tells you: It has
been permitted because there are no
two spirits that have exactly the same
comprehension, the same light, or the
same faith, and also because you have
been given free will with which you
must choose your own path. You have
Chapter 63 - Teachings for the Congregations and All the Disciples of Christ
545
never been forced to take the path of
the Law, but have only been invited to
do so, giving you thereby the
opportunity to earn true merit in
search of truth. (297, 23 - 24)
144. I wish you to learn not make
judgments lightly, nor to allow
yourselves to be carried away by the
first impression.
145. I give you this warning for
when you analyze My word, and for
when you must judge other doctrines,
religions, philosophies, cults, and
spiritual or scientific revelations:
Recognize that what you know is not
all that exists, and that the truth you
know is only a small part of absolute
Truth, which is manifested in many
forms, many of which are unknown to
you. (266, 33)
146. Respect the religious beliefs of
your brothers, and when you enter
their churches, do so with sincere
humility and respect, knowing that I
am present in all worship.
147. Do not reject the world in order
to follow me nor should you depart
from me pretending to have too many
other responsibilities on earth. Learn
to combine both laws into one. (51,
53)
148. Do I not bless all humanity
without distinction? Underneath the
mantle of that blessing are found the
good and the meek just as the arrogant
and the criminal. Why not imitate
Me? Do you by chance feel disgust at
the actions of others?
149. Do not forget that you form part
of humanity, that you must love and
pardon them, not reject them, for it
would be as though you were feeling
repulsion for yourselves. All that you
see in your fellow men is present in
you to some extent.
150. That is why I wish you to learn
to analyze your inner self, so that you
may know your spiritual and moral
side. In this way you will be able to
judge yourselves and gain the right to
look upon others.
151. Do not go forth to seek the
defects in your brothers, the ones you
have are enough. (286, 41 - 42)
152. Do you believe you comply
with My command to love one
another when you selfishly limit your
love to your family? Do the religions
believe they obey that maxim when
they recognize only their own faithful
and do not recognize those who
belong to other sects?
153. Can the great peoples of the
world who preach civilization and
progress say they have achieved
spiritual progress and complied with
that teaching of Jesus when all their
enthusiasm is in preparing for
fratricidal war?
154. Oh humanity, you who have
never known how to value My word,
and have never wished to sit at the
table of the Lord because it has
seemed too humble! My table,
nonetheless, still awaits you with the
bread and wine for your spirit. (98, 50
- 51)
Chapter 63 - Teachings for the Congregations and All the Disciples of Christ
546
155. Do not regard My Work as a
burden, nor say that the fulfillment of
the beautiful mission of loving the
Father and your brethren is tiresome
for your spirit. What is really tiresome
is the cross of your own iniquities and
those of others, for which you will
have to weep, bleed and even die.
Ingratitude, incomprehension,
selfishness, slander, will be like a
burden upon you if you allow them to
lodge within you.
156. To the stubborn man the
fulfillment of My Law would seem
difficult and fatiguing, because it is
perfect, and it does not protect
iniquity or falsity; but for the
obedient, the Law is his defense, his
support, his salvation. (6, 16 - 17)
157. I tell you also that men must
believe in men; they must have faith
and trust in one another, for you must
be convinced that on earth you all
need each other.
158. Do not believe that I, knowing
you doubt the whole world, am
flattered when you say that you have
faith in Me, for what I expect of you
is that you love Me through the love
you give freely to your neighbors,
forgiving those who have offended
you, offering charity to the poor, the
small, and the weak, loving your
brothers without distinction, and
putting into all your works the
greatest truth and disinterest.
159. Learn from Me, who has never
doubted you, that I have faith in your
salvation, and confidence that you
will rise up to reach the true life. (165,
5 - 7)
160. Love your Father, have charity
for your fellows, put away all that is
harmful to your human life or your
spirit; this is what My Doctrine
teaches. Where do you see anything
that is difficult or impossible?
161. No, My beloved people, it is
not impossible to comply with My
word, it is not the word that is
difficult, but the mending of your own
ways, your regeneration, and your
spiritualization which are difficult, for
you lack noble sentiments and higher
aspirations. Yet, since I know that
your doubts, ignorance, and
indecision must vanish, I will
continue teaching you, for Me nothing
is impossible. I can convert stones to
the bread of eternal life and make
crystal clear water flow from rocks.
(149, 63 - 64)
162. I come to remind you of the
Law that cannot be wiped from your
conscience, not forgotten by your
heart nor argued with, for it was
dictated by the Mind of Wisdom, the
Universal Mind, so that each man
would have inside himself the light
that would guide him on the road to
God.
163. It is necessary to have a deep
knowledge of the Law so that all the
acts of life adhere to truth and justice.
Not knowing the Law, you are liable
to commit many errors, and I ask: Has
your conscience never urged you to
the light of knowledge? Truly I tell
Chapter 63 - Teachings for the Congregations and All the Disciples of Christ
547
you, your conscience has never been
inactive or indifferent. It is your heart
and your understanding that reject the
inner light, because they are
fascinated by the splendor of the
outward lights, [which is] the
knowledge of the world. (306, 13 -
14)
164. Now that I am making a broad
explanation of My Teaching, I must
make you understand that all you do
that is outside the laws that govern the
spirit and the material, is to the
detriment of both.
165. Conscience, intuition, and
knowledge are the guides that go with
you to point out the path of right and
to help you avoid stumbling blocks.
These lights are of the spirit, but it is
necessary to let them shine. When that
clarity is found in each of you, you
will exclaim: “Father, your seed of
redemption has sprouted in My being,
and your word has finally flowered in
My life!” (256, 37 - 38)
166. I have come to give greatness to
your spirit, a greatness which exists in
the compliance with My Law, which
is love. Yet you must make
yourselves worthy of this greatness,
fulfilling your mission in imitation of
your Master. (343, 29)
167. I have always told you: take the
satisfactions that your world can offer
you, but take them within My Law,
and you will be perfect.
168. You frequently hear the
clamoring of your conscience, and it
is because you have not harmonized
the material and the spiritual with the
Law I have given.
169. Many times you continue to sin
because you believe that you cannot
be pardoned, an ignorant belief, for
My heart is a door eternally open to
the repentant.
170. Do you not have living within
you the hope that motivates you to
wait for a better day? Do not allow
melancholy and desperation to invade
you, think of My love, which is
always with you. Seek in Me the
answer to your doubts, and soon you
will feel illuminated by a new
revelation, the light of faith and hope
will rekindle deep within your spirit,
and then you will be a fortress for the
weak. (155, 50 - 53)
171. Live always prepared to forgive
those who offend you. Meditate in
advance [about the fact] that those
who offend their brothers do so from
a lack of light, and I tell you that
forgiveness is the only thing that can
bring light to those hearts. Resentment
and revenge only augment the
darkness and attract more pain. (99,
53)
172. Your conscience, which
requests and expects perfect deeds
from you, will not allow you to feel
true peace until you know how to
practice true forgiveness with your
brothers.
173. Why would you hate those who
offend you when they are simply the
means for you to come to Me? If you
Chapter 63 - Teachings for the Congregations and All the Disciples of Christ
548
practice forgiveness, you will achieve
merits, and when you enter the
Kingdom of Heaven, you will see
those on earth who helped you to
evolve. Then you will ask the Father
to help those beings to be saved and
come to the Lord as well. Your
intercession will help them to attain
that blessing. (44, 44 - 45)
174. Do not reject those who, in their
desperation, blaspheme against you;
for them I furnish you with a drop of
My balsam.
175. Prepare yourselves to forgive
those who offend you in what is most
precious to you. Truly I tell you,
whenever you give your true and
sincere pardon in these tests, you
ascend one more step on the ladder to
your elevation.
176. Would you then resent and
deny forgiveness to those who are
helping you to come closer to Me?
Would you renounce the spiritual
delight of imitating Me, allowing
violence to cloud your mind, and
returning blow for blow?
177. Truly I tell you, this humanity
does not yet know the power of
forgiveness and the miracles it works.
They will be convinced of this truth
when they have faith in My word.
(111, 64 - 67)
178. Beloved people: Join
yourselves to your brothers, and when
you are in communion with Me you
will forgive even the most serious
offenses through the love that I have
inspired in you. How could you fail to
forgive those who do not know what
they are doing? And they do not
know, because they do not understand
the damage they are doing to
themselves. (359, 25)
179. Forgive as many times as you
are offended. Do not even count the
times you must confer forgiveness.
Your destiny is so elevated that you
must not delay yourselves with these
stumbling blocks on the path, for
ahead great missions await you.
180. Keep your spirit always
disposed to love, understanding, and
the good, so that you may be placed in
the higher planes.
181. And so, just as in times past,
many of your brothers have written
beautiful pages in the Eternal Book of
the Spirit with their works, and
imitating them you will continue that
history as an example and a delight to
the new generations that will come to
the earth. (322, 52)
182. Cultivate peace; love it, and
spread it everywhere, for humanity is
very needful of it.
183. Do not let yourselves be
disturbed by the vicissitudes of life, so
that you can remain always strong and
ready to give of what you possess.
184. That peace, which is the
patrimony of every spirit, has fled in
this Era and given way to war, and to
torture nations, destroy institutions,
and disconcert the spirits.
185. This is because evil has made
itself lord over the human heart, and
hatred, insane ambition, and
Chapter 63 - Teachings for the Congregations and All the Disciples of Christ
549
unchecked greed spread causing
harm, but how brief will be their
reign.
186. I announce, for your joy and
tranquility, that your liberation is
close. In pursuit of that ideal a
multitude of beings yearning to
breathe an atmosphere of
brotherhood, purity, and health are
working. (335, 18)
187. You will perform charitable
deeds during the course of your
journey, for that is your mission. You
have many spiritual gifts with which
to be charitable in different ways. If
you are able to prepare yourselves,
you will perform that which you call
impossible.
188. The charity that you render by
means of a coin, although it is charity,
is the least elevated that you can give.
189. You should convey love,
forgiveness and peace to the heart of
your fellowmen.
190. I do not want any more
Pharisees or hypocrites protected by
My Law. I want disciples who feel the
pain of their fellowmen. I will forgive
all those who arise with repentance,
regardless of the sect or religion
which they profess, and I will allow
them to see the path of right clearly.
(10, 104 - 107)
191. Hear Me: Be humble in the
world and sow goodness so that you
may gather your fruits in heaven. If
when you do evil you are not glad of
witnesses, why do you wish to have
them when you do good works? What
is there to be vain of if you have
merely fulfilled your duty?
192. Understand that because you
are so small and so human, praise
damages your spirit.
193. Why, when you perform a good
work do you immediately expect your
Father to give you the reward? Those
who think in this way are not working
disinterestedly, and so their charity is
false, and their love far from being
true.
194. Allow the world to see that you
do good works, not so that you can
receive homage, but only to give good
examples and teachings, and to bear
witness to My truth. (139, 56 - 58)
195. When your spirit presents itself
in the spiritual valley to have its deeds
on earth evaluated, I will ask you
most about those things which you
requested and about what you might
have done on behalf of your brothers.
Then you will recall My words of this
day. (36, 17)
196. In the Second Era, humanity
gave Me a wooden cross to whose
martyrdom men sentenced and made
Me suffer; but upon My Spirit I
carried a heavier and more cruel one:
that of your imperfections and of your
ungratefulness.
197. Would you be capable of
reaching My presence carrying upon
your shoulders a cross of love and
sacrifice for your fellowmen? Know
that for that purpose I sent you to
earth, therefore your return shall be
when you present yourselves with
Chapter 63 - Teachings for the Congregations and All the Disciples of Christ
550
your mission fulfilled. That cross will
be the key that will open for you the
gates of the promised realm. (67, 17 -
18)
198. I do not ask that you leave
everything, as I asked of those who
followed Me in the Second Era,
among which, He who had his parents
left them, He who had a spouse left
her; they abandoned their home, their
riverbank, their boats and their nets;
they left everything in order to follow
Jesus. Nor am I saying that it is
necessary for you to shed your blood
in this period. (80, 13)
199. Understand that you have to
transform yourselves spiritually and
materially, that many of your customs
and traditions, a heritage of your
ancestors, shall have to disappear
from your life in order to give way to
spirituality. (63, 15)
200. Not everyone will yet
understand the meaning of
“spirituality,” nor will they
understand why I ask you to achieve
that height. Can you be meek and
obedient to My commandments when
you do not even know what I ask of
you?
201. But there are those who
understand the ideal that the Master is
inspiring in his disciples, and they are
hurrying to obey his instructions.
(261, 38)
202. If you truly yearn to be masters
of spirituality, you must be
perseverant, patient, studious, and
observant, for that is when you shall
have the opportunity along the way to
gather the fruit of your works, and
gather the experience which is the
light and knowledge of the true life.
(172, 9)
203. I bring a new lesson through
which you will learn to live spiritually
on earth, which is the true life
destined by God for men.
204. I have already told you that
“spirituality” does not mean
Mysticism, religious fanaticism, or
supernatural practices. Spirituality is
harmony between the spirit and the
material, observance of both Divine
and human law, simplicity and purity
in life, deep and absolute faith in the
Father, and trust and joy in serving
God in your fellow man: ideals of the
perfection of the moral and the
spiritual. (279, 65 - 66)
205. You ask the significance of the
seven steps of the ladder, and to be
sure your Master tells you: the
number seven symbolizes spirituality,
the spirituality I wish to see in My
chosen people of Israel.
206. You must come to Me with all
your virtues and gifts developed. On
the seventh step, or stage of your
evolution, you will come to Me, and
see glory open its gates to receive
you. (340, 6)
207. For now, understand that as
long as men do not achieve complete
spirituality they will need their
Chapter 63 - Teachings for the Congregations and All the Disciples of Christ
551
material temples, and will need to
place before their eyes the forms and
images that make them feel My
presence.
208. The degree of spirituality or
materialism of humanity can be
measured by their form of worship.
The materialist seeks Me in the things
of the earth, and if He cannot see Me
according to his wishes, He represents
Me in some fashion so as to make
himself believe He has Me before
him.
209. He who conceives of Me as
Spirit feels Me inside him, around
him, and in all that surrounds him,
because He himself has become My
temple. (125, 49 – 51)
210. Offer Me spiritual worship; do
not be like those who raise temples
and altars gilded with gold and
precious stones, or who carry out
great pilgrimages and punish
themselves with hard and cruel
flagellation, and who offer prayers
and devotions prostrate on their knees,
but who have still been unable to
confide their hearts to Me. I have
come to touch them through the
conscience, and so I say: Who speaks,
saying what He does, and proclaims it
to the four winds, has no merit before
the Celestial Father. (115, 9)
211. In order to obey My law, you
must pray, always elevating your
spirits toward your Father.
212. I have seen that in order to pray
you prefer solitude and silence, and
that is the right thing to do when
trying to find inspiration through
prayer, or when you want to give
thanks to Me. But I also say to you
that you should practice prayer in
whatever condition you find
yourselves, so that you might know
how to summon My help in the more
difficult periods of your lives without
losing serenity, self-control, faith in
My presence, and self-confidence.
(40, 34 - 35)
213. Tell Me your sorrows in
silence, and confide to Me your
yearnings. Though I know them all, I
wish you to form your own prayer
until you practice the perfect
communication of your spirit with the
Father. (110, 31)
214. You have realized the reach of
prayer, and have understood the
immense power that it has when you
offer it up to remedy a spiritual need
just as to ask for the solution to a
material affliction.
215. Remember that many times it
has been enough for you to utter the
word “Father” for your entire being to
tremble and your heart to feel filled
by the comfort given by love.
216. Know that when your heart
calls to Me with tenderness, My Spirit
too trembles with pleasure.
217. When you call Me, “Father” -
when that name springs from your
being, your voice is heard in heaven,
and you gain one of the secrets of the
arcane. (166, 49 - 51)
Chapter 63 - Teachings for the Congregations and All the Disciples of Christ
552
218. It is necessary that you learn to
ask, to wait, and to receive, and that
you never forget to give what I have
conceded you; that is what contains
the greatest merit. Pray for those who
die day after day in war. I shall
concede to those who pray with a
clean heart that before 1950, all those
who have died in war will rise
spiritually to the light
*
. (84, 53)
219. Today you are young pupils,
and do not always correctly
understand My lesson. For now, speak
to God with your heart and your
thoughts, and He will answer in the
innermost depths of your being. His
message, which will speak in your
conscience, will be a voice clear,
wise, and loving that you will find
little by little, and to which you will
later grow accustomed. (205, 47)
220. Do not be surprised or
scandalized if I tell you that all the
power, pomp, and splendor of your
religions must disappear, and that
when that happens the spiritual meal
will be prepared to which will come
multitudes hungry for love and truth.
221. Many men, upon hearing these
words, will deny that they are mine. I
must ask them why they are
indignant. What is it they defend?
*
63,218 Refers to the victims of World War
II, at a time when these teachings were given.
Their lives? I defend that. My Law? I
keep watch over that as well.
222. Do not fear, none will die for
My cause; only evil will die, because
goodness, truth, and justice shall
prevail eternally. (125, 54 - 56)
223. Do you think that it will be
difficult for this scientific and
materialistic world to return to feeling
an inclination toward spirituality? I
tell you that nothing is difficult, for
My power is infinite. Elevation, faith,
light, and goodness are more of an
imperative for the spirit than food,
water, and sleep are for the body.
224. If the gifts, powers, and
attributes of the spirit have been
dormant for much time, they will yet
awaken to My call, and make
spirituality, with all its prodigies,
return to mankind because now they
are more prepared to comprehend
them. (159, 7 - 8)
Development
225. Just as you see the body of man
develop, so too does the spirit in him;
yet, the body finds a limit to its
development, while the spirit requires
eternity and many material
incarnations to reach its perfection.
That is the reason for your
reincarnations.
226. You were born, of the paternal
and maternal mind of God as a seed:
pure, simple, and clean; do not,
however, be confused: being pure and
simple is not the same as being great
and perfect.
Chapter 63 - Teachings for the Congregations and All the Disciples of Christ
553
227. Could you compare a newborn
babe with a man of experience who
teaches children?
228. That will be your destiny
throughout the ages, when your spirit
is developed. But, oh, how slowly
your spirit advances. (212, 57 - 60)
229. Study and analyze, for there are
those who become confused, thinking
that if your spirit is a particle of My
Divinity, how is it possible that you
suffer? And if the light of the spirit is
a spark of the Holy Spirit, how can
you be enveloped in darkness even for
an instant?
230. Recognize that this journey is
for the purpose of earning sufficient
merit before God to convert your
spirit from innocent and simple to a
great spirit of light at the right hand of
the Father. (231, 12)
231. I want you to be good, and what
is more, I want you to become perfect;
for you, who seem so small, are
greater than the worlds and the
material objects, for you have eternal
life; you are a spark of My light.
232. You are spirits. It is necessary
that you recognize what a spirit is so
that you can understand why I call
you to the road of perfection. (174,
60)
233. You are subject to the Law of
evolution, behold here the reason for
your reincarnations. Only My Spirit
does not need to evolve: I am
immutable.
234. From the beginning, I have
shown you the ladder which the spirits
ascend in order to reach Me. Today
you are unaware of the level at which
you are, but when you abandon your
physical body you will know your
degree of evolution. Do not stand still,
for you would be an obstacle for those
who follow you.
235. In spite of your dwelling in
different planes, be united in spirit
and one day you will be reunited in
the seventh and highest stage,
enjoying My love. (8, 25 - 27)
236. I have told you that you have
not come only once to earth, but that
your spirit has taken this shell as
many times as necessary for its
development and perfection; I must
now add that the time needed to reach
that goal is longer or shorter
according to your own desire. (97, 61)
237. Who among you would be able
to prove that you have not existed
before this life? Or who among you,
absolutely certain that you have come
to reincarnate on earth again, could
prove that you have settled your debt
with the Father and that you have
accumulated merits to your credit?
238. No one knows where He is on
the ladder of perfection. Therefore,
you need to struggle, love, and
persevere to the end. (46, 58 - 59)
239. In order for Me to give you
these new revelations, it was
necessary that during the time which
transpired between My manifestation
Chapter 63 - Teachings for the Congregations and All the Disciples of Christ
554
to mankind as a Man and My arrival
in Spirit during this time, you would
have passed through many
reincarnations on earth, so that when I
came and ask you for the previous
lesson, your spirit would be able to
answer, and when I then granted new
revelations, you would be able to
understand them. (13, 52)
240. How many times must you
return to the earth to bear a body
through which the message you bring
to the world is manifested with ever
more clarity?
241. Allow your spirit, like a
skylark, to find its spring in this life,
and to enjoy it, and to find during its
pilgrimage the experience necessary
to return to Me.
242. While the wealthy accumulate
treasures that are truly ephemeral, you
must store up experience, which is
true knowledge. (142, 72)
243. During this period you will
struggle against the ignorance of a
humanity, which although
materialized in all its aspects, is less
cruel and more evolved through the
experience it has achieved in its
previous incarnations.
244. Today, if you know of someone
who does not think or worship as the
majority do, although you might be
surprised and scandalized, you no
longer clamor for him to be burned
alive. (14, 21 - 22)
245. Do you fear to speak to your
brothers of the reincarnation of the
spirit? Are you not persuaded of the
loving justice it holds?
246. Compare this form of
restitution with the form men use to
frighten the spirit of humanity: eternal
punishment in the perennial flames of
the inferno. Tell me which of these
two forms gives you an idea of justice
that is Divine, perfect and merciful.
247. One of them reveals cruelty,
limitless rancor, and [a desire for]
revenge; the other contains only
forgiveness, charity, and hope of
reaching eternal life. Oh, how great a
twisting My teachings have suffered
through bad interpretations.
248. I prepare you for the struggle
because I know you will be opposed
for what you teach, but if your
brothers who oppose you are
surprised by death, and I ask them, if
they die in sin, which they would
prefer: the eternal fire they believe in,
or an opportunity to purify themselves
in life; I tell you truly they will choose
the latter solution, even if, blinded by
fanaticism, they fought against it in
life. (120, 15 - 17)
249. It suffices for you to know, as I
said to you in My Word, that the
reincarnation of the spirit is truth, so
that a light may be kindled in your
heart and for you to admire more My
loving justice.
250. Compare the theories and
diversified interpretations that the
religions have given these teachings,
and lean toward the one that contains
a greater justice and has a greater
reason.
Chapter 63 - Teachings for the Congregations and All the Disciples of Christ
555
251. But verily I say to you, that this
is one of the revelations that will more
deeply touch the spirit during this
period in which there is an awakening
of intuition regarding this great truth.
(63, 76)
252. You will affirm that the
reincarnation of the spirit is one of the
great truths that humans must know
and believe.
253. There are those who through
their intuition foresee, accept, and
believe in this as something that could
not be lacking in My loving justice for
men; yet there will also be many who
call you liars and blasphemers.
254. Do not fear. The same thing
happened to My apostles when they
preached the resurrection of the dead
taught by Jesus; the priests and
magistrates put them in jail for
preaching such teachings.
255. Later the world came to accept
that revelation, though I can assure
you that they did not understand the
full meaning of that teaching, and so it
has been necessary for Me to come in
this Era to teach you that the
resurrection of the flesh can only refer
to the reincarnation of the spirit, since
this is the reason and principle of life
and what is truly eternal. What would
be the purpose of resurrecting the
dead bodies that were the mere
temporary clothing of the spirit ?
256. The flesh descends into the
earth to blend with it, and be there
purified and transformed to spring
incessantly again to [another] life,
while the spirit continues to elevate,
continues traveling toward perfection.
When it returns to earth, it is a
resurrection to human life, and the
shell, upon contact with the spirit, also
experiences a resurrection.
257. However, the material, unlike
the spiritual, is not of an eternal
nature; for that reason I tell you again
that it is your spirits that I seek, teach,
and wish to bring to Me. (151, 56 -
58)
258. Your spirit drags behind it a
chain formed by the lives I have given
it as opportunities to work toward
perfection, but that were not taken
advantage of; each existence forms a
link. Yet, if you regulate your life by
My teachings, if you adhere to My
law, you will not come again to suffer
in this world.
259. If you let time pass without
studying My word, I, who am time,
will surprise you. Study, so that you
may occupy the place in My work that
corresponds to you.
260. I wish you to cease in your lack
of understanding and differences of
belief about My Divinity. Understand
that all of you sprang from one God.
(181, 63 - 65)
261. Behold and appreciate the
beauty of the universe in all its
perfection. It was created to inspire
the children of the Lord, and so that in
it they could see an image of the
Father. If you see Creation this way
you will elevate your minds toward
My Divinity. (169, 44)
Chapter 63 - Teachings for the Congregations and All the Disciples of Christ
556
262. The light of this time is tearing
away the veil of darkness that
envelops the spirits of men; it comes
breaking the chains that hold it and
prevent it from coming to the true
path.
263. Truly, I tell you not to believe
that My doctrine prohibits research in
all sciences. It is I who awaken your
interest, admiration, and curiosity, and
I have given you the gift of thought so
that you can go where you wish.
264. I have given you the light of
intelligence so that you may
comprehend what you see along the
way. That is why I tell you:
Investigate and examine, but try to
make your manner of penetrating My
arcane respectful and humble, that is
when it will be truly lawful.
265. I have not forbidden you to
know the books that men have
written, but you must be prepared so
that you do not stumble or become
confused. By this you will know how
man began his struggle, and to where
He has come.
266. And when this happens you
must seek out the source of My
teachings and revelations so that I
may show you the future, and the goal
that awaits you. (179, 22 - 23)
267. I assure you that if you attempt
to penetrate the meaning of these
teachings with love and interest, at
every step you will discover real
marvels and prodigies of spiritual
wisdom, perfect love, and Divine
justice, yet, if you look with
indifference upon these revelations,
you will remain ignorant of their
content.
268. Do not pass by My
manifestation the way that many pass
by life, looking without seeing,
listening without hearing, and
thinking without understanding. (333,
11 - 12)
269. I do not wish for you to analyze
My Spirit or anything that pertains to
the spiritual as though they were
material objects. I do not wish you to
study Me as a scientist would, that
would lead you into great and
lamentable confusions. (276, 17)
270. All of My Doctrine has as its
goal the revealing to you of that
which you carry within your being.
For from that knowledge is born the
light to find the road that leads to the
eternal, the perfect, to God. (262, 43)
Purification and Perfection
271. Today you expose your
afflictions to Me, so that I may heal
them, and in truth I say to you, that is
My mission. I have come for that
purpose, for I am the Divine Doctor.
272. However, before My balsam is
in your wound, before you feel My
caress, concentrate on yourselves and
examine your pain, analyze it,
meditate deeply for as long as it is
necessary so that through that
meditation you can obtain the
teaching that ordeal contains, as well
as the knowledge that it conceals, and
which you should know. That
knowledge will be experience, it will
Chapter 63 - Teachings for the Congregations and All the Disciples of Christ
557
be faith, it will be coming face to face
with the truth, it will be the
explanation of many trails and lessons
not comprehended by you.
273. Examine that gain as if it were
something tangible, and you will
discover the beautiful seed of
experience, a great lesson of your
existence, because pain has come to
be a teacher during your lifetime.
274. He who regards pain as a
teacher, and with meekness heeds its
call for regeneration, repentance and
correction, will know afterward about
gentleness, peacefulness and health.
275. Examine yourselves carefully
and you will see how much you will
benefit by it. You will become aware
of your defects and imperfections, you
will correct them and there - fore you
will cease to judge others. (8, 50 - 53)
276. By simply wanting to be clean,
you will be cleansed. What would the
merit be if I were the one who
purified you? If each one makes
restitution for his breaking of My law,
that indeed has merit, for then you
will know how to avoid errors and
falls in the future because you would
remember the pain from the past.
277. If sincere repentance occurs
between the fault committed and its
natural consequences, you will not
suffer pain, for then you will already
be strong enough to endure the trial
with resignation.
278. The world is experiencing
much bitterness, although I have
never punished it. After that suffering,
humanity will come to Me, for I am
summoning mankind. At that point,
those who were ungrateful will know
how to give thanks to the one who has
only poured out goodness during their
existence. (33, 30 - 31)
279. Rid yourselves of excessive
love for your body and have charity
toward your spirit, helping it to purify
and elevate. When you have achieved
this, you will see how strong your
spirit and body will be.
280. Think: if the spirit is ill, how
can there be peace in the heart? And if
there is remorse in your spirit, can it
enjoy peace? (91, 72 - 73)
281. If this earth were to satisfy all
of your desires, and if you did not
have to endure any spiritual ordeals,
who among you would wish to come
to My Kingdom?
282. You should not curse your
suffering, since you have created it
with your faults. Endure it patiently,
and it will purify you and help you
come closer to Me.
283. Do you notice how deeply
attached you are to the things of
grandeur and pleasures of this world?
Nevertheless, the moment will come
when you will strongly desire to leave
them.
284. Whoever succeeds in fulfilling
his restitution with elevation will
experience peace in that process. The
one who walks on earth glancing
toward heaven does not stumble;
neither will his feet be harmed by the
thorns found along the path of his
restitution. (48, 53 - 55)
Chapter 63 - Teachings for the Congregations and All the Disciples of Christ
558
285. Comply with your destiny; do
not wish to return to Me without first
having traveled the road which I have
outlined for you, because you would
have to experience the pain of
contemplating blemishes in your spirit
which it was unable to clean, because
it had not completed its restitution.
286. The reincarnations have come
to you, and many of you have not
valued the infinite grace and love with
which the Father has entrusted you.
287. Behold that the greater the
number of opportunities, the greater
your responsibility shall be, and if
these opportunities are not put to good
use, the debt of justice and restitution
will increase; that is the burden whose
unbearable weight many beings are
not able to explain, and only My
Doctrine can reveal it. (67, 46)
288. These trials through which
humanity is passing, are the fruit you
gather as a result of your own sowing,
a harvest which is at times the fruit
sown a year before, and other times
was sown years before or in another
lifetime. (178, 2)
289. Do not believe that the
consequences of disobedience are
immediately visible. No, what I tell
you is that sooner or later you must
answer for your works. At times it
will look to you as though your errors
have not brought consequences
because time passes and My justice as
yet has given no sign.
290. You know from My word,
however, that I am an inexorable
judge, and that when your judgment
comes you will open your eyes to the
light of conscience. (298, 48)
291. O you spirits that hear Me, do
not allow the vicissitudes of earthly
life to exhaust you, or to imprint you
with their mark. Seek the light within
each trial, and they will serve to
strengthen and temper you.
292. When the spirit does not
succeed in imposing itself on the
material, it is bent and dominated by
it. That is why spirits weaken and
come to believe that they die together
with the flesh. (89, 11 - 12)
293. Have you ever in your life
experienced some material passion
that encompassed all your being,
preventing it from hearing the voice
of the conscience, of morality and
reason?
294. It is then that your spirit has
fallen to the lowest, for that is when
the temptations and strength of the
beast of evil, which inhabits the flesh,
have dominated you.
295. Is it not true that when you
freed yourselves from that passion
and overcame its influence, you felt
happiness and deep peace?
296. This peace and joy are owed to
the triumph of the spirit over the
material, a triumph achieved at the
cost of an immense struggle, a
devastating interior battle. And yet, it
was enough for the spirit to gather its
strength and stand up, induced and
Chapter 63 - Teachings for the Congregations and All the Disciples of Christ
559
counseled by the conscience, so that
upon conquering the impulses of the
flesh it was freed from being dragged
toward the abyss.
297. There, in that battle against
yourself, in that renunciation, you saw
something living inside yourself die,
but it was not your life, only an insane
passion. (186, 18 - 19)
298. Behold that your most powerful
eneMy you carry is within yourselves.
When you have conquered it, you will
behold under your feet the dragon
with seven heads of which the Apostle
John spoke. It will be then when you
can truly say: I can raise My face to
My Lord to say to Him: ‘Father, I will
follow you, for then it will not be your
lips saying it, but your spirit. (73, 20)
299. Soon you will realize that life is
not cruel with you men, but rather that
you are cruel to yourselves. You
suffer and make all around you suffer
from lack of understanding. You feel
alone, you see that no one loves you,
and become selfish and hard of heart.
(273, 34)
300. Understand that all the penalties
of this, your life, are the consequence
of human failings, for I, who loves
you, could never offer you a cup of
such bitterness.
301. I have revealed since the first
times the Law as the road on which
you can save yourselves from the
stumbles, from the abyss, and from
death. (215, 65)
302. Today you do not correctly
understand the meaning of your trials;
you judge them unnecessary, unjust
and senseless, yet I will tell you how
much justice and precision there was
in each one of them when you arrive
to old age; or to others, when you
have passed from the threshold of this
world and find yourselves inhabiting
the spiritual regions. (301, 44)
303. I say again to you that I
perceive all thought and pleas, but in
contrast the world does not know how
to receive My inspiration, nor has it
prepared to allow My Divine thoughts
to shine forth in their minds, nor to
hear My voice when I answer their
call.
304. But I have faith in you, I
believe in you, because I formed you
and prepared you with a spirit that is a
glimmer of mine, and a conscience
that is My image.
305. If I told you that I do not expect
you to reach perfection, it would be as
though I had declared Myself to have
failed in the greatest work that has
sprung from My Divine will, and that
cannot be.
306. I know that you are in the Era
when your spirits will emerge
victorious from all the temptations
they have found along the way, after
which they will rise full of light to a
new existence. (238, 52 - 54)
Here, and Beyond the earthly
307. Prepare yourselves; do not wait
for death to catch you unprepared.
What preparation have you made for
Chapter 63 - Teachings for the Congregations and All the Disciples of Christ
560
your return to the spiritual existence?
Do you want to be surprised when
you are still tied with chains to the
flesh, to your passions, to earthly
possessions? Do you want to enter the
Hereafter with your eyes closed
without finding the pathway, carrying
an impression in your spirit, a
weariness of this life? Be prepared,
disciples, then you will not fear the
coming of death of the body.
308. Do not sigh at having to leave
this valley, because if you realize that
in it there are marvels and greatness,
truly I say to you that they are only an
image of the beauty of the spiritual
life.
309. If you do not awaken, what will
you do when you find yourselves in
the beginning of a new pathway,
illuminated by a light that will seem
strange to you?
310. Depart from this world without
tears, without leaving grief within the
heart of your loved ones. Free
yourself when the moment comes,
leaving in the countenance of your
body a peaceful smile that speaks of
the liberation of your spirit.
311. The death of the body will not
keep you away from those beings who
have been entrusted to you, nor will it
separate you from the spiritual
responsibility that you have toward
those who were your parents, brothers
or children.
312. Understand that death does not
exist for love, for duty or for feelings;
in short, for the spirit. (70, 14 - 18)
313. Work with great determination,
so that upon reaching death, and
closing your body’s eyes to this life,
your spirit will feel itself elevated on
its own to arrive at the dwelling that
by its merits it has come to deserve.
314. The disciples of this work shall
behold in the moment of bodily death
how easily the ties of the spirit to the
material are broken. In them there
shall be no pain at having to leave
behind the satisfactions of the earth;
their spirits shall not wander like
shadows among men, calling from
door to door, from heart to heart, in
search of light, charity, and peace.
(133, 61 - 62)
315. Elevate your spirit so that you
may enjoy only the eternal, with what
is beautiful and good. If it were not
so, your materialized spirit, due to the
life you have led, shall suffer greatly
to part from its body and everything it
left behind, and will have to roam in
space for a time enveloped by
confusion and bitterness until it ends
his purification.
316. Live within My Law and you
will not have to fear death, but do not
call nor desire it before its time; let it
come, as it is always obedient to My
mandates. Make sure that it finds you
prepared, and in that way you will
enter the Spiritual Mansion as
children of light. (56, 43 - 44)
317. Live peacefully in your home.
Make it a sanctuary so that when the
invisible beings, who wander
confused in the spiritual valley, enter
Chapter 63 - Teachings for the Congregations and All the Disciples of Christ
561
your home, will discover the
enlightenment and peace that they
seek. This will help them to elevate
spiritually in the spiritual valley. (41,
50)
318. To those who are living in the
spirit and are still attached to material
ideals, I say to you: Depart from that
which no longer belongs to you,
because if the earth is not an eternal
mansion for man, it is much less so
for the spirit. Far beyond, in the
spiritual Realm, a life filled with
lights awaits you which you will
reach, step by step, on the pathway of
righteousness.
319. I say to those who are hearing
me in human form, for as long as you
possess that body that accompanies
you on your earthly journey, you must
care for and protect it to the last, for it
is the support on which your spirit
leans, and its tool in the struggle.
Through its material eyes the spirit
looks out upon this life, and through
its mouth it speaks to give comfort to
its brothers. (57, 3)
320. Now the Master asks you:
Where are your dead, and why do you
cry at the disappearance of your loved
ones? Truly I tell you, to Me none
have died, because I have given you
eternal life. All who you have lost are
with Me. There, where you believe
you see death, is life; where you see
an ending, is the beginning. Where
you believe there is Mystery and the
unfathomably arcane, is the clear light
of the unending dawn. Where you
believe there is nothing, is everything
and where you perceive silence, is the
concert. (164, 6)
321. Every time death ends the
existence of your shell, it is like a
truce for your spirit, which, upon
reincarnating, will come forth with
new strength and greater light to
continue studying that Divine lesson it
has not finished. It is in this way that
the planting that is your spirit
matures.
322. I have revealed much to you
about the spiritual life, yet I tell you
that it is not necessary that you
understand everything for now, only
that which is essential for your arrival
in the eternal dwelling. There I will
tell you all that is destined for your
knowledge. (99, 32)
323. Can you imagine the pleasure
of He who returns to the spiritual life
having fulfilled on earth the destiny
marked for him by his Father? His
satisfaction and peace are infinitely
greater than all the satisfactions the
spirit can gather in human life.
324. And this opportunity I am
offering you, so that you will be
among those who enjoy the return to
your kingdom, and not among those
who suffer and weep in the midst of
their confusion and repentance. (93,
31 - 32)
325. The end of this manifestation
approaches, to be reinitiated in a
higher form, establishing spirit to
Spirit communication with your
Creator, which is the way of those
Chapter 63 - Teachings for the Congregations and All the Disciples of Christ
562
more elevated spirits who dwell close
to Me. (157, 33)
326. When I speak to you of My
Spiritual World, I refer to the hosts of
obedient beings who are like true
servants, who do only what the will of
their Lord ordains.
327. It is they I have sent among you
to be counselors, guardians, doctors,
and true brothers to all men. They do
not come to weep, for they bear peace
within; they do not come to question,
for the light of their evolution and
their experience on the long journey
has given them the right to kindle
light in the understanding of men.
They are timely with their help,
considerate and humble before any
call or necessity.
328. It is I who have ordered them to
manifest themselves before you and to
give you their lessons, their
testimony, and their stimulus. They
walk ahead of you so that you may
find the path clear, and lend you help
so that you do not falter.
329. Tomorrow, you too will form
part of that arMy of light which in the
infinite world of the spirits goes
working only for the love for their
brothers knowing that they thereby
give love and glory to their Father.
330. If you wish to be like them,
consecrate your existence to the good.
Share your peace, and your bread,
receive the needy with love, and visit
the sick and those who are held in
prison. Kindle light on the path of
your brothers who go feeling their
way in search of the true path. Fill the
infinite with noble thoughts, pray for
those absent, and prayer will bring
you closer to them.
331. And when death halts the
beating of your heart and extinguishes
the light in your eyes, you will go to
awaken in a world wonderful for its
harmony, its order, and its justice.
There you will begin to understand
that the charity of God is that which
can compensate you for all your trials,
your suffering, and your works.
332. When a spirit comes to that
dwelling it begins to feel filled by an
infinite peace; its memory returns in
an instant to those still far from that
blessedness, and in its eagerness, its
yearning for those whom it loves to
come to possess that Divine gift, it
joins the Divine hosts that work and
struggle for the salvation, the welfare,
and the peace of their brothers. (170,
43 - 48)
333. Who has imagined the battles
those legions of light sustain against
the invasions of the disturbed beings
that threaten you at every step? No
human eye has ever detected that
unceasing struggle they carry out
against each other while you are
unaware. (334, 77)
334. See here the continuation of My
Work, My coming in the Third Era as
the Spirit of Comfort, surrounded by
My great armies of angels just as it
was written.
335. Those spirit - followers of mine
form part of that comfort that I have
promised you, and you have already
Chapter 63 - Teachings for the Congregations and All the Disciples of Christ
563
had proof of their charity and peace in
their healthy advice and examples of
virtue. Through them I have conceded
benefits to you, and they have been
intermediaries between you and My
Spirit.
336. When you have perceived the
grace and the gifts in which they are
sheathed, as well as their humility,
you have felt inspired to perform
works as pure as those they have
performed in your own life. When
they have entered your home you
have felt honored by their spiritual
presence.
337. You are blessed if you have
recognized their elevation, but the
Master asks: “Do you believe that
they were always virtuous beings? Do
you not know that a great many of
them have inhabited the earth and
have known weaknesses and great
failings?”
338. Yet, look at them now; they do
not retain any stain whatsoever. It is
because they heard the call of the
conscience, awakened to love,
repented of their earlier failings, and
in that crucible have been purified and
dignified to ascend to serve Me today
by serving mankind.
339. Out of love, their spirits have
assigned themselves the task of aiding
their fellows, to repay all they failed
to do while they inhabited the earth.
And they have accepted as a Divine
gift the opportunity to come to sow
the seed they did not sow, and destroy
any imperfect works they made.
340. That is why you now look with
surprise on their humility, their
patience, and their meekness, and it is
why at times you have seen them
suffer in restitution. Nevertheless,
their love and recognition are greater
than any obstacles they face. They
conquer all, and are willing to go so
far as to sacrifice themselves. (354, 14
- 15)
341. By chance do you sense the
spiritual dwelling which you left to
come to earth? “No Master,” you tell
Me, “We do not remember or sense
anything.”
342. Yes, people, it has been so long
since you left purity and innocence
that you cannot even imagine that
existence of peace, that state of well -
being.
343. But now that you are prepared
to hear the voice of the conscience
and receive its revelations, you have
within your reach the road which
leads to the Kingdom promised to
those who elevate to Me.
344. It is not that paradise of peace
from which the first parted, but the
infinite world of the spirit, the world
of wisdom, the paradise of true
spiritual happiness, the heaven of love
and perfection. (287, 14 - 15)
Revelations of the Divine
345. The Father of all beings speaks
to you in this moment; the love that
created you is felt by all who hear this
word. (102, 17)
346. Speaking to you is the only God
who exists, the one whom you called
Jehovah when He showed you his
strength and revealed the Law to you
Chapter 63 - Teachings for the Congregations and All the Disciples of Christ
564
on Mount Sinai, the one whom you
called Jesus because the Divine Word
was in him, and the one whom you
called the Holy Spirit, because I am
the Spirit of Truth. (51, 63)
347. When I speak to you as Father,
it is the book of the law that opens
before you; when I speak to you as the
Master, it is the book of love I show
to My disciples; when I speak as the
Holy Spirit, it is the book of wisdom
that illuminates with its teachings,
forming one single doctrine, for it
comes from one single God. (141, 19)
348. God is light, love, and justice;
all who show these attributes in life
represent and honor their Lord. (290,
1)
349. Do not say I am the God of
poverty or sorrow because Jesus was
always followed by a multitude of the
sick and afflicted. I seek out the sick,
the sorrowful, and the poor, but it is to
fill them with health, hope, and
happiness, because I am the God of
joy, life, peace, and light. (113, 60)
350. Yes people: I am the beginning
and the end for you, I am the Alpha
and the Omega, though I do not yet
tell you or reveal all the teachings I
have reserved for your spirit. Those
you will know when you are very
distant from this world.
351. There are many new lessons I
will reveal to you now, and I will
continue providing you that which
you are able to possess without
becoming vain or causing you to raise
yourselves up before humanity with
an air of superiority. You know
already that those who are vain of
their works, by that same vanity
destroy them. That is why I have
taught you to work in silence so that
your works produce love as their fruit.
(106, 46)
352. You still lack understanding of
many of the revelations destined to
form part of your knowledge but
which men have supposed to be
proper only to God. When someone
has expressed his desire to interpret
them, or to try to penetrate them, He
has instantly been branded
blasphemous, or judged reckless.
(165, 10)
353. You must learn much to be
sensitive to My inspirations and My
calls. How many times have you
sensed the vibrations of the spiritual
without correctly understanding who
it was that called to you? That
language is so confusing to you that
you cannot understand it well, and
you end up attributing the spiritual
manifestations to hallucinations or
material causes. (249, 24)
354. Do not find it surprising that
being possessor of everything created
I would appear before you asking for
love; I am the God of gentleness and
humility. I have not come to make a
display of My greatness, instead I
conceal My perfection and My regalia
to draw nearer to your heart. If you
Chapter 63 - Teachings for the Congregations and All the Disciples of Christ
565
beheld Me in all My splendor, how
much you would weep for your faults!
(63, 48)
355. Feel Me very close to you,
evidence of that I have given you
during the difficult moments of your
life. I have wanted you to make your
heart My dwelling place so that you
may feel My presence there.
356. Why is it that you are not able
to feel My presence when I am within
you? Some seek Me in Nature, others
only feel Me beyond the material, but
truly I say to you, I am in everything
and everywhere. Why do you always
seek Me out - side of you when I am
also within your being? (1, 47 - 48)
357. Even if there were no religions
in the world, still it would be enough
to concentrate on the depths of your
being to find My presence in your
inner temple.
358. I tell you as well, that it is
sufficient for you to observe what life
offers you to find in it the book of
knowledge which at every step opens
its most beautiful pages and its
deepest lessons.
359. You will understand then, that
it is not right for the world to be lost
when it bears the road in its heart, nor
that it be confounded in the darkness
of ignorance while it is living within
such light. (131, 31 - 32)
360. Today I make My universal
language heard in all, to tell them that
though I am in each one of you, no
one should say that God is inside man,
for it is the beings and all creation
which is inside God.
361. I am the Lord, and you the
creatures. I do not wish to call you
servants, but children; recognize,
however, that I am before you. Love
My will and respect My law, knowing
that in what is deigned by Me can be
no imperfection or error. (136, 71 -
72)
362. I formed you in order to love
you, and also so that I could feel
loved. You need Me, just as I need
you. Those who state that I do not
need you do not speak the truth; if it
were so I would never have created
you, nor would I have made Myself
man to rescue you with that sacrifice
that was such a great proof of love. I
would have allowed you to be lost.
363. Yet, you must recognize that if
you are nourished by My love, it is
only right that you offer the same to
your Father, for I continue saying to
you: “I thirst, I thirst for your love.”
(146, 3)
364. How can you think that I love
less those who suffer most? How can
you take your pain as a sign that I do
not love you? If you knew that it is
precisely out of love for you that I
have come. Have I not told you that
the righteous are already saved, and
that the healthy do not need a
physician? If you feel that you are ill,
and in the examination by the light of
your conscience you judge yourselves
sinners, be certain that it is for you
that I have come.
Chapter 63 - Teachings for the Congregations and All the Disciples of Christ
566
365. If you believe that God once
wept, truly I can tell you that it was
not for those enjoying his glory, but
for those lost and crying. (100, 50 -
51)
366. My mansion is prepared for
you; when you reach it you will truly
enjoy it. How can a Father live in a
royal lodging, tasting delicious dishes,
knowing that his own children are like
beggars at the doors of his own home?
(73, 37)
367. Know the Law, love
righteousness, practice love and
charity, allow your spirit the holy
liberty of elevating itself toward its
mansion, and you will be loving Me.
368. Do you want a perfect model as
to what you should do and what you
should be in order to reach Me?
Imitate Christ, love Me in Him. Seek
Me through Him, come to Me through
His Divine footsteps.
369. But do not love Me through His
human life or in His image, or
substitute the practice of His
teachings with rituals and forms,
because you will eternalize yourselves
in your differences, in your enmity
and in your fanaticism.
370. Love Me in Christ, but in His
Spirit, in His Doctrine and you will be
complying with the eternal Law,
because in Christ is contained justice,
love and wisdom, with which I have
manifested to mankind the existence
and omnipotence of My Spirit. (1, 71
- 72)
Humans and Destiny
371. It has been long since you were
with Me, and long since you knew
what you really are, because you have
allowed many attributes, powers, and
gifts deposited in you by your Creator
to remain sleeping within your being.
You are asleep to the spirit and the
conscience, and it is precisely in those
spiritual attributes that the true
greatness of man resides. You imitate
the beings of this world because here
they are born, and here they die. (85,
57)
372. The Master asks you, o beloved
disciples: What is yours in this world?
All that you possess the Father has
given you for your use while in transit
on this earth and while your heart
beats. If your spirit proceeds from My
Divinity, if it is a breath of the
Celestial Father, if it is an incarnation
of an atom of My Spirit, and if your
body was also formed within My laws
and is entrusted to you as an
instrument of your spirit - then, My
much loved children, nothing is yours.
All creation is of the Father, and you
have been made the temporary
holders of it. Remember that your
material life is only a single step in
eternity, a ray of light in infinity, and
you must therefore attend to what is
eternal, that which never dies, and that
is the spirit. (147, 8)
373. Let it be the spirit that guides
the mind, and not the mind, guided
alone by a heart ambitious for human
glory, that governs your life.
Chapter 63 - Teachings for the Congregations and All the Disciples of Christ
567
374. Understand that if you wish to
be guided by the orders of your brain,
you will exhaust it and be unable to
go beyond where its meager resources
can take you.
375. I tell you that if you yearn to
know why you have felt inspired to do
good and your heart is inflamed with
charity, allow your heart and
understanding to be guided by the
spirit and you will be astounded by
the power of your Father. (286, 7)
376. It is right that it is the spirit
which reveals wisdom to the human
mind, and not the mind that gives
light to the spirit.
377. Many will not understand what
I tell you because the order of your
lives has been for so long altered.
(295, 48)
378. Understand, O disciples, that
spirituality permits the conscience to
manifest itself more clearly, and that
He who knows how to listen to that
wise voice will not be fooled.
379. Be intimate with your
conscience, it is the voice of a friend
through which the Lord shines his
light, now as Father, now as Master,
and now as Judge. (293, 73 - 74)
380. Be tireless in rereading My
word, for like an invisible chisel it
will polish the roughness of your
character until you are prepared to
deal with the most delicate of your
brother’s problems.
381. In them you will find sorrow,
atonement, and restitution whose
causes may be very diverse. Some
will have an origin that is not difficult
to understand, but others you will
discover only through intuition,
revelation, or spiritual vision and so
be able to relieve your brothers of a
heavy burden.
382. These gifts will only perform
prodigies when He who puts them in
practice has been inspired by charity
for his fellow men. (149, 88)
383. What is it that men call
supernatural, if all that is of Me and
My works is natural? Would it not be
rather the evil and imperfect works of
men that are supernatural, since,
originating from whom they do, and
possessing the attributes they do, it
should be natural for men always to
do good? In Me all has a profound
and simple answer, nothing is in
darkness.
384. You call everything you do not
know or that you see wrapped in
Mystery, supernatural, but when your
spirit earns its elevation by merit, and
beholds that which it could not see
before, it will find that everything in
creation is natural.
385. If you had predicted the
advances and discoveries that man has
made in these times to the humanity
of a few centuries past, even the
scientists would have doubted and
considered such marvels as
supernatural. Now that you have
evolved, following human science
step by step, you still marvel at them,
but see them as natural works. (198,
11 - 12)
Chapter 63 - Teachings for the Congregations and All the Disciples of Christ
568
386. I must tell you that you should
not believe that it is indispensable for
the spirit to have a human body and
life on earth in order to evolve;
however the lessons that He receives
in this world are certainly of great
benefit toward his perfection.
387. The flesh helps the spirit in his
evolution, his experiences, his
atonement, and his struggles. This is
the mission that corresponds to it, and
you may confirm that in this
manifestation of My divinity through
the man whose understanding I have
come to make use of as a means to
transmit My message. Understand that
not only the spirit, but even the
smallest detail of the material form
has been created for spiritual
purposes.
388. I have come to give a reminder
and a calling to your spirit so that by
overcoming the influence of the
material, which has come to dominate
him, He can make his light reach the
heart and mind utilizing his gift of
intuition.
389. This light signifies for your
spirit the path towards its freedom!
This Doctrine comes to offer it the
means to elevate itself above the
human existence and to be the guide
for all its works and lord over its
feelings rather then a slave of lower
passions or a victim of weaknesses
and miseries. (78, 12 - 15)
390. Who but I would be able to
reign over the spirits and govern their
destiny? No one; and so those who,
wishing to rule, have tried to usurp the
place of the Lord, create for
themselves a kingdom according to
their own caprices, ambitions, vanities
and inclinations; a reign of the
material, of low passions and ignoble
sentiments.
391. You cannot impose yourselves
on the conscience, for it contains
perfect justice. In the spirits only
purity has power over the noble
fibers, and only what is good moves
them: in a word, the spirit is fed only
by truth and goodness. (184, 49 - 50)
392. If I have made everything on
earth for the enjoyment of men, use it
always for your benefit; do not forget
that within you is a voice that tells
you the limits within which you can
take what nature offers you, and that
inner voice must be obeyed.
393. Just as you seek a home,
shelter, sustenance, and satisfactions
to make the existence of your body
more agreeable, so too you must
concede to the spirit that which is
necessary for its progress and well -
being.
394. If it feels attracted to the
superior regions where its true
dwelling lies, let it rise up, do not
imprison it: it seeks Me to be
nourished and strengthened. I tell you
that each time you allow it to free
itself in this way, it will return happy
to its shell. (125, 30)
395. The spirit wishes to live, it
seeks its immortality, it wishes to
cleanse and purify itself, it hungers
Chapter 63 - Teachings for the Congregations and All the Disciples of Christ
569
for knowledge and thirsts for love.
Allow it to think, feel, and work.
Allow it to take a part of your time to
manifest itself and enjoy its freedom.
396. After this life, of all you are in
the world only your spirit will remain.
Allow it to gather and hoard virtues
and merits so that at the hour of its
liberation it is not like a beggar before
the gates of the Promised Land. (111,
74 - 75)
397. I do not wish any more
restitution or pain for you. I wish for
the spirits of all My children to come
with their light to illuminate My
Kingdom like the stars that lend
beauty to the firmament and bring
gladness to the heart of your Father.
(171, 67)
398. Since for some time there has
been hostility between them, My word
shall come to reconcile the spirit with
the material, so that you may know
that the body you have considered an
obstacle and a temptation to the
passage of the spirit can be the
greatest instrument of your fulfillment
on earth. (138, 51)
399. Try to create harmony between
the spirit and the physical body, so
that you may easily comply with My
instructions; make the body yield with
love; be forceful if necessary; take
care not to allow fanaticism to blind
you, so as not to act cruelly against it.
Make of your being one will only.
(57, 65)
400. I do not tell you to purify only
your spirits, but also to strengthen
your physical body so that the new
generations which come from you
might be healthy, and their spirits will
be able to fulfill their delicate
missions. (51, 59)
401. I wish you to form homes that
believe in the one God, homes that are
temples where love, patience, and
altruism are practiced.
402. In them you should be the
teachers of the children, whom you
should surround with tenderness and
understanding, watching over them
and following their every step with
attention.
403. Be generous with your love to
those who have been gifted with
beauty, as well as to those who
apparently have an unpleasing
presence. A beautiful face is not
always the reflection of an equally
beautiful spirit, while the apparent
ugliness of the other may hide a
virtuous spirit that you should value.
(142, 73)
404. Think seriously of the
generations that come after you.
Think of your children, who you must
give spiritual life, which is faith,
virtue, and spirituality, just as you
have given them material existence.
(138, 61)
405. Keep vigil over the virtue of
your family and the peace of your
home. See how even the poorest of
Chapter 63 - Teachings for the Congregations and All the Disciples of Christ
570
the poor can be the owners of that
treasure.
406. Recognize that the human
family is the representation of the
spiritual family; in it, the man is
converted to a Father, bearing real
similarity to his Celestial Father; the
woman, with her maternal heart full
of love, is the image of the Divine
Mother, and the family that they form
with their union is a representation of
the spiritual family of the Creator.
407. When the parents have known
how to prepare themselves, the home
is the temple where you can best learn
to comply with My laws.
408. The destiny of the parents and
the children is in Me. Yet, it falls to
some to help each other on their
missions and in their restitutions.
409. Oh, how light would be the
cross and how easy the existence if all
parents and children loved each other.
Even the greatest trials would be
lessened by affection and
understanding. Their acceptance of
the Divine Will shall see them
compensated with peace. (199, 72 -
74)
410. Study the spirits that surround
you and that cross your path in life so
that you may appreciate their virtues
and receive the message they bring
you, or so that you may give to them
what they must receive from you.
411. Why have you thought little of
those of your fellow men that destiny
has placed on your path? You have
closed the door of your heart to them,
unaware of the lesson they had to
bring you.
412. How many times you have cast
aside the very one who brought a
message of peace and hope for your
spirit, and then complain when you
yourselves have filled your cup of
bitterness.
413. Life has unexpected changes
and surprises, and what will you do if
tomorrow you anxiously seek the one
whom you arrogantly rejected today?
414. Keep in mind that it is possible
that He whom you reject and scorn
today, tomorrow you will anxiously
seek, but many times it will be too
late. (11, 26 - 30)
415. What a beautiful example of
harmony is offered to you by the
cosmos! Shining heavenly bodies that
vibrate in life - filled space, circled by
other bodies. I am the Divine and
shining star that gives life and
warmth to the spirits, yet, how few
there are who stay on their path, and
how many there are that spin outside
their orbit.
416. You may say that the material
stars do not enjoy free will, while
men, who do, have for this reason left
the path. That is why I say that the
struggle is so meritorious for the
spirits that, having the gift of free
will, subject it to the law of harmony
with their Creator. (84, 58)
417. None who call themselves
students of this spiritual teaching
complain to the Father of being poor
in their material lives or lacking many
Chapter 63 - Teachings for the Congregations and All the Disciples of Christ
571
comforts that others have in
abundance, or of suffering want and
deprivations. Those lamentations are
born of the material, which, as you
know, has only one existence.
418. Your spirit has no right to speak
thusly to its Father, nor to act
dissatisfied, nor to blaspheme against
its own destiny, for every spirit, in its
extensive journey upon the earth, has
run the entire gamut of experiences,
of pleasures, and of human
satisfactions.
419. The dematerialization of the
spirit started some time ago, and in it,
that pain and that poverty that you are
reluctant to put up with and have your
heart suffer, helps. All spiritual and
material goods have an importance
that you must recognize so that you
do not deprive either of their value.
(87, 26 - 27)
420. Every creature, every man, has
a place assigned him that He must not
miss; however, He must also not take
a place that does not correspond to
him. (109, 22)
421. Why do you fear the future?
Will you fail to take advantage of the
past experience your spirit has
accumulated? Will you leave the
harvest ungathered? No, disciples,
understand that no one can distort his
destiny, He can only postpone his
own hour of triumph and increase the
sorrows that already exist on the way.
(267, 14)
422. The Kingdom of the Father is
the inheritance of all his children. It is
indispensable to obtain that grace by
the merits of the spirit. I do not wish
you to see it impossible for you to
reach the grace that brings you closer
to Me.
423. Do not be sad upon hearing, in
My Word, that the Promised Land
will be reached through great work
and effort. Be glad, for He who
directs his life toward that idea does
not suffer disappointments or feel
defrauded. It will not happen to him
as it does to many who go in search of
the glories of the world, which after
much effort, they do not obtain; or
those who obtaining them, soon suffer
seeing them vanish until they have
nothing. (100, 42 - 43)
424. I give you the keys to open the
gates to your eternal happiness. Those
keys are of love: from which flows
charity, forgiveness, understanding,
and the humility and peace with
which you must pass through life.
425. How great is the happiness of
your spirit when it dominates the
material and enjoys the light of the
Holy Spirit! (340, 56 - 57)
426. This earth, which has always
sent to the beyond a harvest of spirits
that are sick, tired, confused, or of
little advancement, soon will be able
to offer me fruits worthy of My love.
427. Illness and pain will be exiled
from your lives when you live a
healthy and elevated existence, and
when death comes, it will find you
Chapter 63 - Teachings for the Congregations and All the Disciples of Christ
572
prepared for the journey to the
spiritual mansion. (117, 24 - 25)
428. Do not weaken, o spirits, you to
whom I especially direct My words;
persevere on the path, and you will
know peace. Truly, I tell you, all are
destined to know happiness. I would
not be your Father if you had not been
created to share the Glory with Me.
429. Do not forget, however, that for
your joy to be perfect it is necessary
for you to cultivate your merits step
by step so that your spirit comes to
Me feeling worthy of that Divine
reward.
430. See how I help you and
accompany you all along the way?
Have full confidence in Me, knowing
that My mission and My destiny are
joined with yours. (272, 61)
Defects, Sin, and Absurdities
431. Understand My lesson so you
will not make more mistakes during
your lifetime, for any offense which
you may cause your brethren, in word
or deed, will be an unforgettable
reminder in your conscience which
will clamor relentlessly.
432. Again I say to you, all of you
are necessary for the fulfillment of the
Divine plan and for the end of so
much spiritual misery among
mankind.
433. As long as egotism exists,
suffering will also exist. Replace your
indifference, your egotism and your
contempt with love, and charity and
you will see how soon peace will
come to you. (11, 38 - 40)
434. Seek to advance in human life,
but never allow yourselves to be
dominated by excessive ambitions, for
then you would lose your freedom and
become enslaved by materialism. (51,
52)
435. I forgive your faults, but I also
correct them so that you rid your heart
of selfishness, for it is one of the
weaknesses that most lowers your
spirit.
436. I touch you through your
conscience so that you remember your
duty to your brothers, and so that you
sow your path with charity and
forgiveness, as I taught you in the
Second Era. (300, 29)
437. Today the power of the material
body and the influence of the world
have made you selfish. But the
material body is not eternal, neither is
the world nor its influence. I am the
patient judge whose justice reigns
over life and time. Do not judge those
who deny Me, for I will find you
guiltier than I find them.
438. Did I ever lift My voice to
judge My executioners? Did I not
bless them with love and humility? If
only you knew that many of those
who were temporarily lost in the
world because of that fault are
purified in spirit today! (54, 47 - 48)
439. And do not attempt to discover
the hidden feelings of your fellow
men, for in each being there are
secrets that only I should know. And
Chapter 63 - Teachings for the Congregations and All the Disciples of Christ
573
still, if you should uncover that which
because it belongs to your brother
should be sacred to you, do not
publicize it, do not tear away that veil,
but make it more opaque.
440. How many times have I seen a
man penetrate his brother’s heart to
uncover his moral and spiritual
nakedness, only to take joy in it and
then publicize it.
441. None who have profaned the
intimacy of a fellow being in this way
should then be surprised if someone
along the way then strips and mocks
him as well. Then He should not say
that it is the rod of justice which
measures him, for it will be the rod of
injustice with which He measured his
brothers.
442. Respect others. Cover those
whose secrets have been revealed
with your mantle of charity and
defend those who are weak from the
rumors of mankind. (44, 46 - 48)
443. Not all who wander the streets
and roads, explaining revelations,
interpreting prophecies, or speaking
of times past are My envoys. Many,
out of vanity, resentment or because
of some expected material gain, have
taken up those teachings to offend and
judge, to humiliate and injure, or even
to kill. (116, 21)
444. Rise up, humanity! Find the
road. Find the meaning of life. Unite
people with people! Love one
another! Oh, how thin is the wall that
divides one home from another, but
you live so far apart! Oh how many
conditions there are to be permitted to
pass the borders between one people
and another! And this is just between
you humans, what about those who
are in the other life? When you do not
hide them behind the veil of your
forgetfulness, you do it with the veil
of your ignorance, which is like a
dense darkness! (167, 31)
445. Do you see those men who only
live to satisfy their measureless
ambition? Who trample the lives of
their fellow men without respecting
the rights that I, their Creator,
conceded them? Do you see how their
works speak only of envy, hatred, and
greed? For them you must pray more
than for others who are not so needy
of light.
446. Forgive those men all the pain
they cause, and help them to reason
with your clean thoughts. Do not
make the fog denser around them, for
when the time comes for them to
answer for their actions, so too will I
call to answer those who, instead of
praying for them, sent them only more
fog in the form of hostile thoughts.
(113, 30)
447. Remember that in the law it
told you: “Have no other Gods before
Me”. But many are the Gods that
human ambition has forged to adore,
render tribute, and even give their
lives.
448. Understand: My law has not
expired, and without you realizing, it
speaks to you incessantly through the
Chapter 63 - Teachings for the Congregations and All the Disciples of Christ
574
conscience, and still men are pagans
and idolaters.
449. They love their bodies, flatter
its vanities, and allow its weaknesses.
They love the riches of the earth, to
which they sacrifice their peace and
their spiritual future. They offer
worship to the flesh, going at times as
far as degeneration and even death in
pursuit of pleasures.
450. You may be sure that you have
loved that which is of the world more
than the Father. When have you
sacrificed for Me, loving and serving
Me in the person of your fellow men?
When have you sacrificed your sleep,
or exposed your health to come ease
the sorrows that afflict your brothers?
And when have you ever come to the
brink of death for any of the noble
ideals that My Doctrine inspires?
451. See that it is not I who you love
most, see that for you the worship of
material life comes before homage to
the life of the spirit. And that is why I
have told you that you have other
gods you serve and worship before the
true one. (118, 24 - 26)
452. You are so accustomed to sin,
that your lives have come to seem
natural, normal and legal to you, even
though it appears as if Sodom and
Gomorrah, as well as Babylon and
Rome had spilled all their perversity
and sin out upon you. (275, 49)
453. You live now in a time of
confusion, in which you call good,
bad; in which you think you see light
where there is darkness, and in which
you give priority to the superfluous in
preference to essential. And yet, My
charity shall arrive on time, ready and
able save you and show you the
luminous road to the truth, a road
from which you had become lost.
(358, 30)
454. To be able to triumph in all the
trials, do as the Master instructed you:
Be watchful, and pray, so that your
eyes are always alert and you are not
surprised by temptation. Note that evil
has great subtlety with which to test
you, to make you fall, to overcome
you, and take advantage of your
weakness. Be perceptive, so that you
may know when it stalks you. (327,
ex. 10)
455. Truly I say to you that from this
darkness mankind will emerge to the
light; however that step will be slow.
What would become of men if for an
instant they would realize all the
wrongdoing they have caused? Some
would take leave of their senses while
others would put an end to their lives.
(61, 52)
The Purification and
Spiritualization of Humanity
456. You have forgotten the Law
and you have waited for the elements
to remind you of My justice:
Hurricane winds, waters that run off
their course, earthquakes, droughts,
inundations, are voices that awaken
and speak to you of My justice.
457. What other fruit can humanity
offer Me in this period that will not be
Chapter 63 - Teachings for the Congregations and All the Disciples of Christ
575
discord and materialism? Neither do
these people, who for years have
listened to My teaching, are able to
offer Me a pleasing harvest. (69, 54 -
55)
458. Do you not hear the voices of
justice? Do you not behold the
elements touching region after region?
Do you believe that if you lived a
virtuous life there would be a need for
My justice to be felt in such a
manner? Verily I say to you that there
would be no object to purify you if I
had found you cleansed. (69, 11)
459. Even when in the present it
seems impossible to cement peace
among humanity, I tell you that peace
will be made, and what is more, that
men will practice spirituality.
460. The world will suffer many
calamities before the establishment of
that time, but those sufferings will be
for the good of humanity in the
material as well as the spiritual. It
shall act as a limit to the unleashed
run of selfishness, lust, and evil of
men.
461. And so balance shall come, for
the forces of evil cannot prevail over
the forces of good.
462. This purification, without really
being so, has the appearance of
punishment, for it comes always to
touch upon the most sensitive, the
most fragile and loved, but it is in
reality a means to salvation for the
lost spirit or He who has lost his way.
463. Who judges materially can find
nothing useful in the pain; but He who
bears within him a spirit that lives
eternally, extracts, from that same
pain, light, experience, tempering, and
regeneration.
464. If you think spiritually, how can
you believe that pain is bad for
humanity, if it comes from a God who
is entirely love?
465. Time passes, and a moment will
come when the great trials begin to
appear and the last bit of peace will
flee from the world, not to return until
Humanity has found the road of My
Law, and hears within the voice that
says at every moment, “God exists.
God is within you. Recognize Him,
feel Him, reconcile yourselves with
Him!”
466. That will be when the order of
your life changes. Selfishness will
disappear and each person will make
themselves useful to others. Men will
be inspired by My justice to make
new laws and govern the peoples with
love. (232, 43 - 47)
467. Do not fear, beloved witnesses,
I tell you that this materialistic
humanity, which for so long has
believed in only what they could
touch, see, and understand through
their limited understanding and in
what could be proved by their science,
shall become spiritual, and shall know
how to look upon Me and seek the
truth with their spiritual gaze. (307,
56)
468. If you were spiritually prepared,
you could behold, in the infinite,
multitudes of spiritual beings who
before your gaze would resemble an
Chapter 63 - Teachings for the Congregations and All the Disciples of Christ
576
immense white cloud, and when the
messengers or envoys moved from
there, you would see them
approaching as flashes of light toward
you.
469. Your spiritual vision still is not
penetrating, and that is why I have to
speak to you from the Hereafter, from
all that which you cannot contemplate
yet; but I say to you that the time will
come when all of you will be seers
and will rejoice before that marvelous
existence that today you feel distant,
but in reality, vibrates near you; it
involves and illuminates you, it
inspires you and calls incessantly at
your doors. (71, 37 - 38)
470. Sensitivity, presentiment,
revelation, prophecy, inspiration,
spiritual vision, healing, gift of
speech, all of that and other additional
gifts will pour out from the spirit, and
through them men will confirm that a
new Era has been unfolded before
humanity.
471. Today you doubt the existence
of those gifts because there are some
who hide them from the world fearing
their judgment; tomorrow it shall be
the most natural and beautiful thing to
possess them.
472. I come to you during this Third
Era because you are ill in body and
spirit. The healthy one has no need of
the doctor, nor do the just require
purification. (80, 5 - 6)
473. Today there is still need of
ministers, judges, and teachers, but
when your spiritual and moral
conditions have been raised you will
no longer need those crutches, nor
those voices. In every man there shall
be a judge, a guide, a teacher, and an
altar. (208, 41)
My peace be with you !
577
XVI. Prophecies and Parables, Comfort and Promises
Chapter 64 - Prophecies
The Fulfillment of Old and New
Prophecies
1. That of which the prophets spoke
will be fulfilled in this era. My new
word will come to philosophers and
theologians, and many of them will
mock it while others will be
scandalized by it. Yet, when that
happens, their astonished eyes will
behold the fulfillment of the
prophecies that I have now
announced. (151, 75)
2. Those prophets of past times
received no consecration or
authorization whatsoever on earth,
they were not obliged to submit
themselves to any authority, and were
satisfied to obey the dictates of their
Lord, who put his words on the lips of
those He had chosen.
3. Full of faith and courage, nothing
could stop them from their mission of
teaching My Law to the people and
separating them from religious
fanaticism, making them understand
the indolence and errors of the priests.
(162, 7 - 8)
4. Humanity, does the pain, misery,
and chaos that envelops you in these
days seems unexpected?
5. If you are surprised, it is because
of your lack of attention to My
prophecies and because you have not
prepared yourselves.
6. All was foreseen and proclaimed,
but you lacked faith and now you
suffer the consequences as a very
bitter cup.
7. Now, once again, I am
prophesying through human
understanding. Some of these
prophecies will come to pass soon,
and others are for more distant times.
8. This people who hear them have
the great responsibility of making
them known to mankind, for they
contain light that will make men
understand the reality in which they
live so that they will halt their speedy
race toward the abyss. (276, 41 - 42)
9. Much of what I have spoken to
you of in this Era is prophecy that
refers sometimes to things that are
near, and others to the future. That is
why many men do not wish to assign
importance to this Divine message.
10. This word, in contrast, shall
surge full of light among the humanity
of the coming times. In it they will see
and find great revelations whose
exactitude and perfection will leave
the men of science astounded. (216,
13)
The Great Prophecy to the Nations,
delivered on January 10, 1945
11. I now speak to the nations of the
earth: You all have My light. With it
you will reflect on the fact that you
Chapter 64 - Prophecies
578
have come to take lives as though you
were their owners.
12. Truly I tell you that your
destruction and pain have raised
profound repentance in many and
awoken millions of beings to the light.
They now seek and invoke Me, and
from them a clamor arises to reach
Me, asking: "Father, can it be that the
war will not end in 1945, and that you
will not come to dry our tears and
bring us peace?"
13. Here is My presence among you:
Oh, seven nations, seven heads you
have raised in the world before Me!
14. ENGLAND: I enlighten you.
My justice will strongly touch on you
yet, but I shall give you strength. I
touch your hearts and tell you, that
your ambitions shall fail, and your
powers shall be taken from you and
given to no one.
15. GERMANY: In this moment I
touch on your arrogance, and I tell
you: Prepare yourselves, for your seed
will not perish. You have asked Me
for new lands, and men have
interjected themselves in My high
judgments. I have bowed your pride
and tell you to take My strength and
trust in Me, for I shall save you.
16. Yet, if you do not trust in Me,
and give in to your arrogance, you
shall fall and be made slaves of the
world. That, however, is not My will,
for this is the time in which I am
toppling the lords and freeing the
slaves and captives. Take My light,
and arise.
17. RUSSIA: My spirit sees all. The
world will not be yours. It is I who
shall reign over you all. You shall not
succeed in erasing My name, for
Christ, who speaks to you, shall reign
over all men. Give up your
materialism, and prepare yourselves
for a new life. If you do not, I shall
break your pride. I give you My light.
18. ITALY: No longer are you the
lord as in times past; today,
humiliation, slavery, and war have
destroyed you. Because of your
degeneration you are passing through
a great purification. Yet, I tell you:
Regenerate yourselves. Set aside your
fanaticism and idolatry, and recognize
Me as the Lord of lords. I shall pour
out new inspirations and light to you.
Take My balm and forgive one
another.
19. FRANCE: You have presented
Me your pain. Your lamentations have
reached the height of My throne. I
receive you. Yesterday you rose up as
a lord, today you have only the chains
you drag to present Me.
20. You have not prayed nor kept
vigil. You gave yourselves to material
pleasures, and the dragon has made
you his prey.
21. Yet, I will save you, for the cry
of your women and the tears of your
children have come to Me. You wish
to save yourselves, and I cover you
with My mantle. Yet, truly I tell you:
Pray, keep vigil, and forgive.
Chapter 64 - Prophecies
579
22. THE UNITED STATES OF
AMERICA: In this moment I also
receive you. I see your heart, not of
stone, nor of metal, but of gold. But I
find your mind of metal, hardened. I
do not find love in you, nor
spirituality, I see only grandeur,
ambitions, and greed.
23. Continue, and yet I ask: When
will My seed put down roots in you?
When will you topple your "golden
calf" and your "tower of Babble," so
that you may build the true temple of
the Lord?
24. I touch your conscience from
first to last and I forgive you. I
enlighten you so that at the supreme
hour, when the test reaches its
culmination, your mind will not
become confused, but thinking clearly
and remembering that I am before
you.
25. I give you light, strength, and
power. Do not interfere in My high
judgments, for if you disobey My
mandates or trespass the limits
marked, pain, destruction, fire,
pestilence, and death will come to
you.
26. JAPAN: I receive you and speak
to you. I have entered your sanctuary
and seen all. You do not wish to be
the hindmost, but have always wished
to be first, and truly I tell you, that
seed is not pleasing to Me.
27. It is necessary for you to drain
the cup of bitterness so that your heart
may be purified. It is necessary that
your language be mixed with other
languages; that the world comes
closer to you. When the world is
cleansed and prepared it will bring
you the seed that I will give, for I see
none who are prepared. I do not see in
you the spiritual seed of My Divinity.
Yet, I shall prepare the way.
28. Soon there will be a chaos of
ideas in the universe, a confusion of
sciences and theories, and after that
chaos the light will come to you. I
prepare and forgive all of you, and
shall make you to enter the true path.
29. When the time is right, and peace
comes among nations, do not be
reluctant, do not oppose My will. If
the nations have signed, do not betray
them, for I will then unleash My
justice upon you.
30. Seven nations: seven heads.
The Father has received you. Before
you, under your dominion, is the
world. You will answer to Me for it.
31. May the light of the book of
seven seals be with each of the
nations, so that men may prepare
according to My will. (127, 50 - 65)
Wars and Natural Catastrophes,
Signs in the Heavens
32. This same world you inhabit has
long been a battlefield. And the
enormous experience left to men by
their ancestors, bitter and painful
experience that is like a book opened
by the conscience before the men of
this time, has not been enough.
33. The heart of humanity is too hard
to accept that fruit of experience, left
like a legacy of light. All that they
have inherited from their ancestors is
Chapter 64 - Prophecies
580
the hatred, arrogance, resentment,
greed, pride, and vengeance
transmitted to them by their blood.
(271, 65)
34. Understand that it is a time of
justice, for truly I tell you that all
must be atoned for. The earth itself
cries out at the poor use made of it
and the elements by man.
35. All that has been destroyed it
shall demand of you, making men
realize that they were made by the
Creator for the purpose of love, and
that the only will that could destroy
them, is that which protects, cares for,
and blesses them. (180, 67)
36. I am leaving you this message
that you must carry beyond the seas.
My word will cross the old continent
and come to the men of Israel, who
have risen in fratricidal war over a
piece of land, without realizing the
poverty of their spirits.
37. You cannot understand the trial
through which the world will pass. All
await peace, and that will only come
after the elements have given
testimony of Me. (243, 52)
38. My elements shall be unleashed
and desolate the lands. The men of
science will discover a new planet,
and a rain of stars will illuminate your
world, but this will not bring disasters
to humanity, but only announce to
men the coming of a new era. (182,
38)
39. I have already revealed to you
that My people are scattered across
the earth, and so the seed of
spiritualism is disseminated around
the globe.
40. Today you are disunited, and do
not even recognize each other due to
truly petty issues. Still, when the
materialist doctrines come to threaten
to invade all of you, then all who
think and feel with the spirit shall
identify yourselves. When that time
comes I will give you a sign by which
you may recognize each other,
something that all will be able to see
and hear in the same form. And so,
when you bear witness to one another,
you will marvel, and say: It is the
Lord who has visited us. (156, 35 -
36)
Prophecy concerning the Schism in
the Mexican Communities
41. Hear Me, people, and rise up to
comply truly and worthily with My
word.
42. I see sadness in your heart, for
you are foreseeing that not all these
multitudes will adhere to the Law I
have written in your consciences. Yet,
I tell you, as in the First Era, the
people shall divide.
43. I have spoken much with you,
and have marked out only one path
for all. I tell you therefore, that a
judgment will come upon this people,
when the day marked by the will of
your Father as the end of these
manifestations comes, if some of My
children disobey Me.
Chapter 64 - Prophecies
581
44. I have come to you as a liberator
in this era, showing you the road in
the desert, the spiritual journey of the
struggle for liberation and salvation,
finally announcing you the Promised
Land which is peace, light, and the
happiness of the spirit.
45. Blessed are those who rise up,
anxious for liberation and spirituality,
to follow Me in this journey, for they
shall never feel alone or weak in the
trials brought by the vast desert.
46. Woe to those, in contrast, who
lack faith, to those who love the
things of the world more than the
spiritual, those who remain tied to
their idols and their traditions. They,
believing they serve Me, will be the
subjects of Pharaoh, which is the
flesh, materialism, and idolatry.
47. He who yearns to come to the
Promised Land, the homeland of the
spirit, must go through the world
leaving the tracks of goodness.
48. Approach on that road, and do
not fear, for if you base your hope in
Me, it shall be impossible for you to
be lost, and if you do fear or lose
trust, it is because your faith is not
absolute, for I tell you that He who
wishes to follow Me must be
persuaded of My truth. (269, 50 - 51)
My peace be with you !

Chapter 65 – Parables
Parable of the Poor Administrators
1. A crowd of the hungry, sick, and
naked approached a house in search of
charity.
2. The owners of the house
constantly prepared food to serve the
travelers at their table.
3. The owner, lord and master of
those lands, came to preside over the
banquets.
4. Time passed, and the needy
always found their sustenance and
shelter in that house.
5. One day, the owner noticed that
the water served at the table was
cloudy, that the dishes served were
not healthy and tasty, and that the
tablecloths were stained.
6. He called then for those in charge
of preparing the table, and asked
them: "Have you looked at these
linens, tasted these dishes, and drunk
this water?"
7. "Yes, sir." They replied.
8. Before you give it to these hungry
people, then, have your children eat of
it, and if they find these servings to be
good, you may give them to the
visitors.
9. The children took the bread, the
fruits, and whatever there was on the
table, but the taste was not pleasant,
and there was discontent and rebellion
against the supervisors, and harsh
protests.
10. The owner then said to those
who were waiting: Come, wait
beneath this tree; I will offer you the
fruits of My garden, and morsels that
will please your taste.
11. And to the supervisors He said:
Clean that which is stained, get rid of
the bitter taste you have left in the
mouths of those you have deceived.
Make amends to Me for this, for I
ordered you to receive all those who
hunger and thirst, and offer them the
finest dishes and clean water, and you
have not complied; your work is not
pleasing to Me.
12. The lord of those lands then
prepared [himself] the banquet, the
bread was satisfying, the fruit healthy
and ripe, the water clean and
refreshing. Then He invited those who
waited: beggars, the sick, and lepers,
and all ate with great pleasure. Soon
they were healthy and free of their
ills, and decided to stay on that farm.
13. They became laborers, and began
to work the lands, but they were
weak, and did not let themselves be
guided by the advice of the owner.
They mixed different seeds, and the
crops degenerated. The wheat was
choked by weeds.
14. And when the time of the harvest
came, the owner approached again,
and said: What are you doing? To you
I gave only the care of the house for
receiving visitors. The planting you
have done is not good. There are
others who are in charge of the lands.
Go and clean the fields of thorn
bushes and weeds, then return to
caring for the house. The spring has
dried up, the bread is not wholesome,
Chapter 65 – Parables
584
and the fruit is bitter. Do with the
travelers as I have done with you, and
when you have fed and healed those
who come to you, when you have
made the pain of your brothers
disappear, I will bring you to rest in
My mansion. (196, 47 - 49)
Crossing the Desert to the Great
City
15. Two travelers walked slowing
along an extensive desert, their feet
were painful from the burning sands.
They were headed toward a distant
city, only the hope of reaching their
destination encouraged them in their
arduous journey, their bread and water
were nearly exhausted. The younger
of the two began to weaken, and He
begged his companion to continue the
journey alone, because his strength
was failing him.
16. The older traveler tried to
encourage the young man, telling him
that perhaps they would find an oasis
soon where they would regain their
lost strength, but the latter did not take
heart.
17. He thought of leaving him in that
lonely place but in spite of being also
weary, He placed his dejected
companion upon his shoulders and
continued the journey laboriously.
18. When the young man was rested,
thinking of the weariness He was
causing the one who was carrying him
upon his shoulders, He let go his
neck, took him by the hand and thus
they continued the journey.
19. A great faith encouraged the old
one's heart, which gave him strength
to overcome his weariness.
20. As He had foreseen, there
appeared on the horizon an oasis
under whose shade the coolness of a
spring awaited them. Finally they
reached it and they drank from that
strengthening water until they were
satisfied.
21. They slept a refreshing sleep and
on awakening they felt that their
weariness had disappeared, neither
did they experience hunger nor thirst,
they felt peace in their heart and
strength to reach the city they were
seeking.
22. They would not have wanted to
leave that place, but it was necessary
to continue the journey. They filled
their flasks with that pure, clear water,
and continued their journey.
23. The older traveler who had been
the young man's support, said: Let us
use the water we are carrying
sparingly, it is possible that we may
meet along the path some pilgrims
overcome by fatigue, dying of thirst
or sick and it will be necessary to
offer them what we are carrying.
24. The young man protested saying
that it would not be sensible to share
that which might not even be enough
for them; that in such a case, since
they had gone through so much effort
to obtain that precious element, they
could sell it at the price they desired.
25. Not satisfied with this answer the
old one replied that if they expected to
have peace in their spirit, they should
share the water with those in need.
Chapter 65 – Parables
585
26. Annoyed, the young man said
that He preferred to consume the
water in his flask by himself before
sharing it with anyone whom He
should encounter along the way.
27. Again the presentiment of the old
one was fulfilled, for they beheld
before them a caravan, composed of
men, women and children, who were
lost in the desert and were on the
verge of perishing.
28. The kind old man promptly
approached those people to whom He
gave water to drink. The travelers felt
strengthened at once, the sick opened
their eyes to thank the old traveler,
and the children ceased weeping for
thirst. The caravan arose and
continued its journey.
29. There was peace in the heart of
the generous traveler, while the other
one, seeing his flask empty, with
alarm said to his companion that they
should return in search of the spring
to replenish the water which they had
consumed.
30. "We should not turn back," the
good traveler said, "for if we have
faith, we will find new oasis further
on."
31. But the young man doubted, He
was afraid and He preferred to say
good - bye to his companion right
there to go back in search of the
spring. Those who had been brothers
in a common cause were separated.
While one continued forward in the
pathway, filled with faith in his
destiny, the other, thinking that He
might die in the desert, ran toward the
spring obsessed with the fear of death
in his heart.
32. At last He arrived panting and
fatigued, and with satisfaction He
drank until He quenched his thirst,
forgetting his companion whom He
allowed to go on alone, as well as the
city which He had renounced,
deciding to remain and live in the
desert.
33. It was not long after that a
caravan, composed of exhausted men
and women passed nearby, they
anxiously approached to drink from
the waters of the spring.
34. But suddenly a man appeared
who would not allow them drink and
rest unless they paid him for those
benefits. It was the young traveler
who had taken possession of the oasis,
making himself the lord of the desert.
35. Those men listened to him with
sadness, for they were poor and they
could not buy that precious treasure
which would satisfy their thirst.
Finally, depriving themselves of what
little they carried, they bought a little
Water to quench their desperate thirst
and continued their journey.
36. Soon that man converted himself
from a lord to a king, for those who
passed that way were not always poor,
there were also powerful ones who
could give a fortune for a glass of
water.
37. This man gave no further thought
to the city that was beyond the desert,
and much less to his fraternal
companion who had carried him upon
his shoulders, saving him from
perishing in that wilderness.
Chapter 65 – Parables
586
38. One day He saw a caravan
approaching that surely was headed
toward the great city but to his
surprise He observed that those men,
women and children were walking
filled with strength and joy, singing a
hymn.
39. This man could not understand
what He beheld and his surprise was
even greater when He saw the one
who had been his traveling
companion marching at the head of
the caravan.
40. The caravan stopped in front of
the oasis, while the two men looked at
each other, greatly surprised; finally,
He who dwelt in the oasis asked his
former companion: Tell me, how is it
possible that there are people who
pass through this desert without being
thirsty or experiencing weariness?
41. The reason was that inwardly He
wondered what would become of him
the day when no one approached to
ask for water or lodging.
42. The good traveler said to his
companion: I reached the great city,
but along the way not only did I
encounter the sick, but also the thirsty,
the lost, the weary and I revived
everyone with the faith which has
revived me, and thus from oasis to
oasis one day we reached the gates of
the great city.
43. There I was summoned by the
Lord of that Kingdom, who seeing
that I was familiar with the desert and
that I showed pity for all travelers,
gave me the mission to return and be a
guide and adviser along the difficult
crossing of the travelers.
44. Here I am once again guiding
another of the caravans I must take to
the great city. "And you, what brings
you here?" He asked the one who had
remained at the oasis. Ashamed, the
latter was silent.
45. Then the good traveler said to
him: I am aware that you have made
this oasis yours; that you sell its
waters and that you charge for shelter:
these benefits are not yours, they were
placed in the desert by a Divine
power, to be used by anyone who
needed them.
46. Do you see these multitudes?
They do not have need of the oasis
because they do not feel thirsty, nor
are they fatigued, it is enough that I
transmit to them the message that the
Father of the great city conveys
through me for them to arise, finding
strength at every step with a goal that
they have to reach that Kingdom.
47. Leave the spring to those who
thirst, so that those who suffer the
rigors of the desert may find rest and
quench their thirst in it.
48. Your pride and selfishness have
blinded you, but what good has it
been to be the lord of this small oasis,
when you live in this lonely place, and
have deprived yourself of knowing
the great city that both of us were
seeking? Have you already forgotten
that goal which was for both of us?
49. That man listening in silence to
the one who had been his faithful and
unselfish companion, burst into tears
for He felt repentant because of his
faults, and tearing off his false finery,
He went in search of the starting point
Chapter 65 – Parables
587
which was where the desert began, in
order to follow the path which would
take him to the great city; but now He
walked along the pathway illuminated
by a new light, which was of faith and
love toward his fellow men.
50. I am the Lord of the great city
and Elijah is the old one of My
parable, He is the ''voice of one crying
in the wilderness," it is He who again
manifests himself among you, in
fulfillment of the revelation that I
gave you in the transfiguration on
Mount Tabor.
51. Follow Elijah, O My beloved
people, and everything will change in
your life; all will be transformed in
your worship and ideals.
52. Did you believe that your
imperfect worship would be eternal?
No, disciples; tomorrow, when your
spirit beholds the great city on the
horizon, He will say like his Master:
"My Kingdom is not of this world."
(28, 18 - 40)
Parable: The Magnanimity of a
King
53. Once there was a king who was
surrounded by his subjects celebrating
a victory over a rebellious people who
now were to become his vassals.
54. The king and his subjects
cheered their victory, and the King
spoke, saying: "The strength of My
arm has triumphed and enlarged My
kingdom. Yet, I will love the
conquered as I do you, and give them
great lands of My dominion to
cultivate the vine. And just as I love
them, I wish you to love them also.
55. Time passed, and among that
people, conquered by the love and
justice of that king, rose up a man
who rebelled against his Lord, and
who tried to kill him while He slept,
though He only succeeded in
wounding him.
56. Faced with his crime, that man
fled terrified to hide himself in the
darkest jungles while the King wept
for the ingratitude of his subject, and
for his absence, because He loved him
greatly.
57. In his flight, the man fell
prisoner of a people who were
enemies of the king, and when He was
accused of being a subject of that king
whose authority He did not recognize,
He proclaimed loudly that He was
fleeing because He had killed that
King. But He was not believed, and
was sentenced to be tortured and
burned at the stake.
58. Just as, already bloodied, He was
to be given to the fire, the King
happened to pass by with his subjects
in search of the rebel. Seeing what
was happening, the lord raised his
arm, and called to the executioners:
"What is it you do, you rebellious
people?" and at the majestic and
commanding voice of the King, the
rebels prostrated themselves before
Him.
59. The ungrateful subject, who was
tied to the stake awaiting the
execution of his sentence, was
surprised and fascinated to see that the
king had not died, and now
approached step by step to untie him.
Chapter 65 – Parables
588
60. The king took the rebel from the
stake and cured his wounds. He
poured wine between his lips, dressed
him in new white vestments, and after
depositing a kiss on his forehead, said
to him: "My subject, why did you
leave My side? Why did you wound
me? Do not answer in words. I only
wish you to know that I love you, and
I say to you now: Come and follow
me."
61. The people who witnessed that
scene of charity, astonished and
converted, exclaimed: "Hosanna,
hosanna," and declared themselves
obedient subjects of the king. That
people thereafter received nothing but
good from their Lord, and the subject
who had once rebelled, surprised at
receiving so much love from his king,
surrendered to his perfect works and
determined to return those proofs of
limitless love by loving and
venerating his Lord forever.
62. There, people, you have My
word clearly. Men struggle against
Me, and thereby lose their friendship
for Me.
63. What damage have I done to the
men? What harm brings them My
Doctrine or My Law?
64. Understand that as many times as
you offend Me, the same number of
times you are forgiven, but you must
then forgive your enemies as many
times as they offend you.
65. I love you. And if you take a step
away from Me, I take a step towards
you, and if you close the doors of
your temple against Me, I will call at
them until you open them for Me to
enter. (100, 61 – 70)

rejected for practicing My Doctrine, I
will recognize him. (8, 30)
71. Blessed be those who falling and
arising, are weeping and blessing Me;
those hurt by their own brethren,
confide in Me deep within their heart.

but meek and for that reason strong in
spirit, are truly My disciples. (22, 30)

with humility. All of them shall love
Me. (325, 7 - 8)

their Father.

81. Blessed are those who dream of

nowhere, and have distanced

and inner peace, for they understand
that peace is not offered by this world,
but can be found inside yourselves.

truth does not inspire fear nor scandal,
for I tell you truly that the light will
fall like a cascade upon your spirit to
sate forever your thirst for light. (263,

86. Blessed is He who listens,
assimilates, and practices My
teachings, for He shall know how to
live in the world, as well as know how
to die to this world, and when the time
comes, knows to awaken to eternity.
87. Blessed is He who delves deeply
into My word, because He has learned
the reason for the pain, and the
meaning behind the restitution and
atonement, and so instead of
becoming desperate or blaspheming,
and thereby increasing his sorrow, He
stands up full of faith and hope for the
struggle, so that the weight of his guilt
is every day less, and the cup He must
drain less bitter.
88. Serenity and peace are for those
men of faith who accept the will of
their Father. (293, 45 - 47)
89. Your advancement, or evolution,
will permit you to find My truth and
perceive My Divine presence, in the
spiritual just as in each one of My
works. I will then say to you:
"Blessed are those who know how to
see Me in everything, for it is they
who truly love Me. Blessed are those
who know how to feel Me with their
spirit, and even through their material
form, for these are the ones who have
sensitized their entire being, those
who have truly become spiritualized."
(305, 61 - 62)
90. You know that from My high
throne I wrap the Universe in My
peace and My blessings.
91. All is blessed by Me at every
hour, and during each instant.
92. No curse or abomination has
ever nor will come from Me for My
children, and so without
distinguishing between sinners and
the just, I make My blessing, My kiss
of love and peace descend upon all of
them. (319, 49 - 50)
My peace be with you !

God's Call to Humanity
A Call to the Men of this Time
Humanity, O humanity: Arise. Time is precious, and you will not awaken in
this existence if you do not do so today. Will you remain sleeping in spite of My
message to you? Do you wish to be awoken by the death of the flesh and by the
voracious fire of the repentance of your bodiless spirit?
Be sincere, imagine yourselves in the spiritual life, face to face with the truth,
where nothing can excuse your materialism. There you shall see yourselves
dressed in the stained, torn, and dirty rags that are the garments your spirit really
wears. Truly I tell you, that there, upon seeing your own misery and feeling
such shame, you will feel an enormous desire to cleanse yourself in the waters
of your deepest repentance, knowing that you can go to the celebration of the
spirit only when you are cleansed.
See yourselves there with the open sores representing your pride and your self-
satisfaction, and then tell Me if you have ever worried about the pain of
humanity; if the cries of your men, the sobs of your women, and the tears of
your children, find resonance in your hearts, and then tell Me: What have you
been to humanity? Have you been life? (228, 62 - 63)
A Call to the Intellectuals
Come to Me, you intellectuals, tired of death and weary of heart. Come to Me
you who have been confused and who instead of loving, have hated; I will give
you rest, making you understand that the spirit obedient to My commandments
never tires, and I will bring you to penetrate a science that will never confuse
your intelligence. (282, 54)
A Call to the Worn and Weary
Come to Me, you people who are sad, solitary, and sick, the humiliated, you
who drag the chains of sin, those who hunger and thirst for justice. Be with Me.
In My presence many of your ills will disappear, and you will feel your burden
lightened.
If you wish to possess the benefits of the spirit, I will concede them to you; if
you ask for earthly possessions to make good use of, those too I will give, for
your petition is noble and just. Become then the good administrators and I will
concede you the multiplication of those goods so that you may bring your
brothers to partake of them. (144, 80 - 81)
592
Exhortation to Spiritual Israel
Israel, become the guides of humanity; give them this bread of eternal life,
show them this Spiritual Work, so that the various religions may become
spiritualized by My Doctrine and so the Kingdom of God may reign over all
mankind. (249, 66)
Listen, beloved Israel! Open your spiritual eyes and behold the Glory of your
Father. Hear My voice through your conscience and listen with your spiritual
ears to the celestial melodies so that your heart and spirit rejoice and feel peace;
for I am the peace, and I come to invite you to live within it. I come to reveal to
you the love that I have felt for humanity throughout all times, the cause for
which in the Second Era, Jesus shed his most precious blood to redeem you
from sin, to teach you love, and to leave the True Doctrine engraved in your
heart and spirit. (283, 71)
Turn your eyes to Me. If you have lost the road, be with Me today. Elevate
your thoughts to Me and speak to Me like a son to his Father, as one speaks
trustingly to a friend. (280, 31)
Be transformed under My teaching, and feel yourselves new men. Practice My
virtues and the light will appear in your spirit while Christ manifests himself
upon your road. (228, 60)
People: Go to humanity; speak to them as Christ spoke to you, with the same
charity and the same determination and hope. Make them see that there are
roads of elevation that give greater satisfactions than those given by material
goods, and that there is a faith that makes one believe and hope in more than the
tangible. Tell them that their spirits will live for eternity, and therefore they
must prepare to come to enjoy that eternal happiness. (359, 94 - 95)
My peace be with you !
