Chapter XI

All men are brothers – Lord Jesus’ heroism – The seed of love and fraternization – My authority to speak – Encounter on the way to Damascus – Unknown detail of such occurrence – Children’s dependence

           Jesus of Nazareth came to this physical plane in a human body because in the eyes of the Superior Forces humanity appeared ready for changes. The main objective of Jesus’ mission was based on the spiritual principle that, since all men are brothers, they should love one another. Therefore, the Lord preached that love for one another is that magic key that can open the doors to eternal happiness. But everyone knows quite well what happened. After just thirty-three years in his human body and three of preaching, Jesus’ spirit was expelled from Earth in the least deserving way. Besides being harmful to the interests of many, his doctrine also bothered those who followed different religious principles. But since there is alleviation for everything, there was in Jesus’ case as well. The selfish interest’s mud that involved the world overshadowed the spiritual qualities that were beginning to appear in many human hearts, such as fraternal feelings. Selfishness on the part of people’s leaders prevailed in all sectors of earthly life. Jesus was fully aware of what awaited him and demonstrated true heroism as He fulfilled his luminous mission before humanity by treading the most dangerous and least comfortable path. Jesus was aware that the mission the Celestial Father entrusted to him in the above, which was to sow the luminous seed of love and fraternization among men, required the plowing of a quite hard terrain.

            My spirit feels absolutely trustworthy to speak in such a way in view of my past deeds. Even though my past deeds were recorded after Jesus’ departure from Earth, they had enough merits to become known to the following generations. Let me restate my conviction regarding things which are expressed to the spirits that animate human beings. The things which human beings hear, and which are capable of drawing their interest, are quite different from the things which their spirits hear, understand and assimilate.

            My experience as Paul of Tarsus confirms it. After hearing that a missionary from Nazareth was in Jerusalem preaching a doctrine which had no concern for material things and led to the Kingdom of Heaven, I found it contrary to the prevailing idea that saw wealth as the greatest power. And even though I was aware of the principles which this extraordinary man divulged in squares and temples, I was not interested in them until our historical meeting on the road to Damascus. This extraordinary encounter made me immensely happy given that I headed to Damascus precisely to combat such luminous principles with word and action. But Jesus did not manifest himself to the man that rode and gathered ideas which he would share with the habitants of Damascus. Jesus appeared to his spirit, entity that could understand him. As you already know, Jesus addressed the spirit that speaks to you now with such a conviction that it produced immediate results.

            I will now reveal to you a detail of the reaction of my spirit to Jesus’ words. Given that Jesus had claimed that He was the “way,” and his adepts started to be known as “adepts of the way,” it became necessary to prevent the continuation of such absurd preaching, which called for the renunciation of material things so that there could be love for one another, like between real brothers. As a prominent member at the Sanhedrim’s cupola, I was chosen to apprehend the adepts of Jesus’ doctrine in the area of Damascus. It was then to carry out this ungrateful assignment that I headed towards Damascus in the company of three or four assistants and some soldiers. We were near Damascus when a big cloud appeared in front of us on a particular afternoon, despite the fact that sunlight still illumined the landscape. The cloud made us somewhat perplexed as it changed from white to a pinkish color, and since it took away visibility, we slowed down and halted. It was on that particular moment that the imposing radiant figure of the Lord took shape before us. And then, with his intense eyes penetrating mine, He pronounced those well-known words which transformed this persecutor of his followers into a follower of his luminous doctrine.

            Since this occurrence was so intense to my spiritual sensibility, it caused me to become temporarily consciousness. The loss of my vision made my companions feel quite gloomy. When we entered Damascus, I was not a persecutor, just a sick person in need of medical assistance. Before my companions could search for a physician, an old man (*) appeared claiming that he had come to treat my eyesight on Jesus’ directive. That impressed me greatly, given that only the few of us knew about the occurrence. The fact that Jesus was indeed a superior personality from the Divine World was now confirmed to me; He was indeed that superior being who, amid great poverty, had just fulfilled that elevated mission on Earth in a human body.

            The good old man treated my eyes in the weeks that followed with magnetic passes, mentioning extraordinary things about Jesus. But I have to confess that the idea to help diffuse the consoling Christian Doctrine to the peoples of different countries grew in my spirit as I recovered. And although I did not help diffuse it as much as I had desired, I did the best I could within my possibilities. The only thing here that is news to you, dear friends, is what took place within me. This should help you understand that the difference between the things that penetrate your material eyes and those that penetrate your spirits, thus awakening your interest towards them. As I mentioned before, the fact that humanity did not open its spiritual ears to the huge amount of advice and teachings brought to Earth by true friends and counselors from the divine world caused it to remain stationary, and at levels sometimes reminiscent of barbarism.

            This is what caused humanity’s march towards happier worlds to be delayed. Detachment from material things is absolutely indispensable to all human beings in this end of century. By realizing that earthly life is just a tempestuous night, humans can then access spiritual clarities which exist in other planes of life. But this requires a small effort on their part, for they need to apply their spirits in their daily activities, listening to their constant inspirational suggestions and advice.

            Men and women should always remember that they are spirits covered with flesh, so that they can withstand this terrestrial world’s rather rough vibrations. And since they are spirits, they would benefit by transporting into the spirit world everything that they do, say or hear, so as to ascertain that they are in harmony with the teachings and advice that they have received in the center of their hearts. If they proceed accordingly, and firmly desire to be deserving of esteem of their luminous spiritual guides as well as the grace of the Lord, they will discover when they return to their spiritual plane that the things that caused them worries and sadness were changed into sources of joy.

            This way, as a new conception of life opens up before them, they will be able to conceive new ideas about their family members, who are spirits the divine Providence chose to become their close relatives on the current incarnation. This new conception will enable them to either create or consolidate their needed sentiments of fraternization and love. Their current family members are just an infinitesimal part of the whole of relatives which they formed in the course of their numerous incarnations. When the opportunity comes to them someday, they shall see all of their relatives.

              It is the duty of family heads to display the purest examples of dignity and Christian love to their dependants, so that they too can transmit them to theirs. It can be concluded then that children belong to parents only in the capacity of dependants. It is the duty of the parents to raise, educate and direct such spiritual siblings in their new earthly existence, but never as their own property. Today’s parents are yesterday’s children and today’s children will be tomorrow’s parents. It is imperative then for children to receive the most useful and pure advice and examples from their parents. When they harbor such examples in their hearts, they will be able to transmit them to the children that the divine Providence will entrust to them in the future, so that they can help them reach new steps in their evolutionary scale.

            Pitiable are all those who abandon or neglect their children to pursue non-dignifying sentiments or procedures. Whoever behaves in such a way will harshly regret it, dear brothers and sisters. Regardless of how important or dear their interests may be to them, they do not justify abandonment of the children that God entrusted to their care for guidance. Those who abandon their children will experience a similar spiritual suffering in their flesh in a future incarnation. There are millions of spirits in the spirit world who committed on Earth such infractions against divine laws. For many unjustifiable reasons, they left the children that God entrusted to their care in someone else’s hands. 

            We have witnessed in our travels of service through the spiritual planes that when spirits that were abandoned on Earth as children arrive in such planes, they repel those who were their earthly parents and who now wish to embrace them. They repel them due to the fact that they not owe them anything. The fact that they are rejected and that there is nothing they can show to justify their parenthood cause many such unhappy spirits to lament painfully.

                                                          Chapter XII

It happened in a planet similar to earth – Instructions brought from the above – Resistance on the part of some inhabitants – Similarities to what will happen on Earth – Population three times larger than the present one – Loss of relatives – End of warlike disputes

           Once upon a time, it became necessary for some invisible messengers to warn the population of a planet in this solar system about certain upcoming events. Due to the fact that it would be difficult to clarify the entire population at the same time, a superior determination resolved the problem. Instead of gathering the inhabitants themselves, only their spirits would be gathered together during the sleep of their bodies. The fact that the nights on that sphere corresponded to about thirty-six earthly hours facilitated such a task. But because there was darkness on one side and solar light on the other, just as it occurs on Earth, two gatherings were planned in different points of that planet to allow everyone to receive the necessary instructions. About ninety percent of the adults and fifty percent of the children attended such gatherings. The instructions they received was designed to prepare them for the call to return to that sphere’s spirit world, which could happen at any moment. The invisible messengers informed them that such a preparation would prevent them from being taken by surprise.

            Since matters that are discussed with spirits can be understood and assimilated more rapidly than their physical vehicles, they promptly understood and accepted them. The need for them to prepare to depart that planet at any moment, which is currently the case on Earth, was prompted by the great changes that were occurring in almost the entire surface of said planet, in obedience to a plan studied and matured during a long period of time. It was not difficult to instill in their minds the idea of spiritual preparation for their return trip due to their good sense concerning practical activities, which was a result of their evolutionary degree, despite their low degree of disagreement, which is common in all parts. There is always a less developed category of spiritual beings which in principle refuses to accept almost anything that opposes their material interests. This phenomenon, which is a result of age and the fact that there are different degrees of comprehension, is common to all populations of the universe.

            Since no greater problems ensued, the transformations that had been planned in the above came to pass with success, for the benefit of the inhabitants. Although there were no major problems, the invisible messengers had to deal with some of the affected residents’ resistance to abandon their families and wealth. And even though their number was small, unusual efforts were required on the part of spiritual guides to prevent them from dispersing in the cosmos, where they could remain perhaps for centuries. Everyone needs then to receive all kinds of precautions, which is done with utmost efficiency.

            What happened on this particular sphere has many similarities to the structural modifications that will happen on Earth, so that it can allow the number of human beings that are currently on its soil to double. There are millions of souls in the spiritual planes related to earthly life who need to reincarnate on Earth in order to develop their latent aptitudes and qualities, and in case they already possess a good degree of progress, attain additional progress and improvement. This is the reason why it is imperative to operate structural changes on Earth. Such changes will allow the Earth to produce sufficient pure foods to sustain a population that is at least three times larger than the current population. Similar efforts are being carried by Jesus’ messengers through books, so that you too can be prepared when the divine call comes, which could happen at any given moment.

            Now you know how the population of that particular sphere was instructed by the above. Although the process concerning terrestrials is a little slower, it is nevertheless an efficient process as it tries to speak to each spiritual heart. According to observations in the above, a large portion of the earthly population has been preparing themselves for such eventuality. In case you wonder how they are doing it, it is by making daily contact with the Lord and also by making sensitive changes on their thoughts as far as humanity as a whole is concerned. In fact, each human being’s thoughts and sentiments become part of humanity’s whole, part of the body that it really is. Each man or woman should then think of themselves as a nucleus in a gigantic organism.

            But in order for this entire organism to feel good, healthy and happy, each of its constituting nucleuses must keep in perfect harmony with the others. This is the kind of understanding the Lord’s messengers have been diffusing throughout the surface of the Earth through books, the spoken word in appropriate places or inspirations next to those who teach religion to their fellowmen. The major goal behind such spiritual efforts is to awaken this idea in the center of human being’s hearts, which has been dormant since the time of their reincarnation. Such awakening is similar to someone becoming capable, let us say, of going from one mountain to another simply by using his power of volition. Those capable of awakening this idea while in the flesh, which is latent in their hearts, will never desire anything great or good which is beyond their reach. When the divine call comes for them to return, they will leave the Earth towards the Lord’s dwelling place with the most absolute peace and tranquility. They will find there a small multitude of similar souls singing hosannas for their return.

            I am certain that many souls will be prepared to depart from Earth not in a sad or suffering state, in which they are overburdened with worries and past faults, but as authentic spirits of light on their return to festive planes of life and happiness. I have a message for those who are overcome by longing and disconsolation after losing relatives: when their relatives departed from the Earth, they not only left their remains behind but also all of life’s suffering. Disincarnation should be viewed mainly as the liberation of a spirit which was held prisoner for long years in the heavy earthly environment. The spirit finally becomes free to move to a plane of spiritual life where only peace and happiness exist.

            Since longing exists in all planes of the universe, it also exists when kin souls embark on a new reincarnation of apprenticeship or divine service. The exception is that in these cases we have the consolation of being able to see and hug them during the sleep of their bodies on Earth, if we have permission. Even though the relatives and friends of such departed souls do not always remember it on the next day, they often meet with them during the sleep of their bodies. This is a true fact; it is a grace the Divine Greatness concedes to all its children in order to ease the longing which their separation created.     

             With the Earth’s elevation to the category of a spiritualized world, and with spiritual beings having a certain degree of evolution becoming its inhabitants, the warlike disputes that have filled its historical pages will no longer take place. Since the Earth is a plane of physical life where millions of souls reincarnate to advance their knowledge or attain new progress, it is surely hard for anyone to understand why its populations engage in bloody conflicts which eliminate brothers who incarnated here with the most pure and saintly objectives. Our current efforts also seek to eliminate all sentiments of ambition from the human heart, as well as of command, selfishness and others which are equally harmful to the happiness and peace of the peoples of the Earth. Such efforts will compel true missionary spirits to reincarnate on Earth and help achieve such elevated objective. The Earth shall become the birth place of entities that have already fulfilled all courses of earthly apprenticeship. After living in planets that are greatly evolved, they will return to the Earth as the divine Providence’s envoys, so that they can implant the norms of progress which they assimilated in such planets.

            The task of such luminous spirits is to divulge processes and improvements to human beings not only in this century, but especially in the next, which will transform life conditions into that real paradise which they have talked about and desired since long ago. But first they have to engage in diluting the darkness which the mental waves of past generations created and which the mental waves of the current generation nourish to a good extent. Deriving from their inferior thoughts, this type of dark waves is responsible for the frequent misunderstandings and conflicts that occur among them as they permeate the minds that emit similar thoughts.

            But the ongoing efforts on the part of the Lord’s emissaries to change the way humans think will put an end to such a source of evil. Their efforts to help incarnate souls clear Earth’s spiritual environment is already beginning to produce positive effects. The rather dark mental clouds that surround the Earth started to receive luminous vibrations from thousands of human beings who have awakened from their material sleep and are now preparing themselves for spiritual life. By praying regularly they not only elevate themselves in the spiritual scale, but also help clear the accumulation of crude thoughts from the planet and thus destroy the habitat of terrible miasmas, as mentioned earlier. This represents a great contribution on the part of each one of them toward the happiness and well being of all.

                                                            Chapter XIII

Nothing happens by accident – The key to happiness –The Divinity does not impose punishment on human beings – Advice given in the above – Jesus expects a lot from every one – A movie camera records everyone’s actions – A more evolved sphere awaits you

        

          All worlds in the universe follow carefully planned conditions of life, whether they are inhabited by beings in their early stages of evolution or with degrees of spiritual development. That well-known concept that: “Not a hair or leaf falls without the Celestial Father’s consent” is perfectly correct. Nothing in the universe happens by accident, but as a result of a divine law’s actions. The unexpected or unpredicted events which frequently occur in the lives of human beings, changing their lives and even putting an end to their incarnation, can be explained by the fact that their material life is subordinated to certain conditions, which are thoroughly studied in the above before they begin preparations to reincarnate on Earth once again. Even though this explanation may surprise many readers who are not familiar with this principle, it is a true fact.

            There are people on Earth who can reveal facts about a person after studying his hand’s lines, which contain information that has accumulated in his spiritual file. It is not the lines that reveal the things which they intuitively predict about a particular person, but the information contained in the spiritual file of such a person. Thus, this proves that all human beings bring a life plan to be developed on Earth. However, there are no rigid conditions. Men and women can always change the conditions of their lives for better or worse, in accordance with the quality of their daily thoughts and actions. It is up to each individual to reduce his life’s unpleasant things to a minimum and elevate the favorable things to a maximum. It depends on how he conducts himself.

            For example, if a human being decides to apply a sense of moral purity to his daily actions and social behavior, whether it involves the performance of material tasks or dealing with his equals, conscious that it is part of the life program he promised to fulfill on Earth, he should achieve beautiful results: his life’s unpleasant facts or situations will be reduced to a minimum, probably in a way he will not even notice them anymore, and the favorable conditions elevated, for his greater joy. No one on Earth is destined to live an incarnation of suffering, in which everything is contrary and difficult. Absolutely not; being all goodness, the Celestial Father would not permit any of his children to undergo such painful conditions. But what happens is that human beings forget the promises that they made and the instruction that they received in the above on how to minimize or even annul their karmic situations on Earth. 

            I say with all my love that the “magic key” that will open the doors to a less difficult or painful life is in your own hands. Spiritual mentors give such key to everyone who receives permission in the above to reincarnate once again. The key that all brothers and sisters who descend to earth receive in the above is as follows: “Go with the Lord’s grace, brother. The Lord will guide, sustain and help you in all emergencies. Resort to the faculty of prayer and request in order to annul all that is evil and amplify all that is good. Pray to the Lord every day, and the Lord will bless and forgive you. Go in the Lord’s peace.” This is the recommendation given in the above to all incarnate brothers and sisters who live lives of suffering on Earth. If these words could be brought to them, and they agreed to put them into practice, I am sure that many difficult lives would be changed into happy lives. The suffering which humans experience on Earth is not some kind of punishment or penalty imposed by the Divinity. It stems from their past actions, given that they caused suffering to their companions of journey. Thus, they will not be able to progress or reach that fabled “golden ball” as long as they carry unjust behavior in their minds,

            For the moral comfort of our suffering brothers and sisters, there is a spiritual organization in the above which follows everyone’s steps on Earth as they fulfill their karmic tasks. As it collects their daily thoughts and prayers, such organization tries to attenuate the weight of their burden. The members of this organization rejoice whenever they manage to make their prayers prevail over criticism, revolt or blasphemy. Each of you can perform a sanctifying task next to brothers and sisters in such conditions, dear readers. Go and tell them with all your hearts that magic or miraculous key which opens the doors to happiness is sincere prayers to the Lord Jesus; tell them to try this key for a week and the Lord will do the rest.

            If those who are living karmic incarnations can eliminate their painful burden through prayers to the Lord of the World, what can be said to those enjoying happiness and permanent well being? I will say to them that their current life plan is also a result of karmic law. The Law of Karma also works perfectly in the case of those who enjoy good health and prosperity, given that they received advice from the spiritual mentors before entering a maternal womb for this incarnation as well. And they probably know that they did. Everyone in the above receives attentive assistance from the spiritual mentors before embarking on a new incarnation, my esteemed brothers and sisters. When the time comes for them to say farewell, their mentors wish them success on their new journey.

            To spirits with some degree of evolution, who do not have a karmic mission to perform, their spiritual mentors usually offer them the following advice: “You are going to depart for a new life on Earth. You will take all elements necessary for your success, progress and spiritual elevation. We will do all we can here to remove obstacles from the path that you have to follow, provided that you are deserving of it. However, there is a part which depends exclusively upon you: morality and daily prayer; that will keep you in daily contact with us. Therefore, go and be happy, dear son.” Such advice is offered to everyone who embarks on a new journey on this small planet of shadows. Even though incarnate spirits frequently review such beautiful advice in the above during the sleep of their bodies, it sadly does not show in their physical memories.

            But since such advice is now being recorded on paper by Jesus’ disciples, men and women should be able to engrave it in their physical memories. By sticking to them, they shall be able to experience wellbeing in the days ahead. Jesus expects a lot from the men and women that are capable of carrying out tasks related to divine service on Earth. Sound advice to an incarnate brother who deviated from the good path is one of the most beautiful types of service a human being can render to the Lord Jesus. It is similar to the help that more advanced students give to those who are less advanced. By teaching them what they have already learned, they help them overcome their obstacles. It is a beautiful divine service for evolved brothers or sisters to help beginners progress towards the right path. And given that you, the readers, are the more advanced students in this great earthly school, do it whenever possible certain that although indirectly you are doing it to the Divine Master.

            There is a spiritual organization in the above that deals with all the events that take place on this physical plane, regardless or how small or trivial. But for you to better understand how perfect this organization really is, let us imagine that a powerful movie camera constantly records every human being’s thoughts and actions, from his birth until his return to his spiritual plane. You can be certain that the slightest details of each one of your earthly journeys are carefully recorded on this film, esteemed readers. Fortunately, you will be able to examine such film when you return from the Earth. Such knowledge should help you become more attentive to yours actions, thoughts and attitudes involving your companions of earthly journey and prevent you from experiencing constraint and remorse when you review the film of your life in the company of your spiritual mentors.

            The purpose of this revelation, which the Lord Jesus asked me to divulge to you on Earth, is to contribute to your spiritual development and to alert you about things which are inconvenient or contrary to your spiritual happiness so that you can avoid them during their remaining days here. The latter is more important because it can help prevent detrimental procedures from appearing on the film mentioned above. Our sweet Jesus of Nazareth nourishes the most solid hope that three-fourths of earth’s current population, or at least its majority, will be able to occupy a sphere that is being vacated as its inhabitants are promoted to a more elevated plane of life. As the Lord’s messengers, our work aims at preventing that human beings suffer and become despaired as a result of the operations that are taking place in the earthly soil, and also at preparing as many human beings as possible to occupy a more much more evolved sphere, where they could live happily for a long period of time, or until they are ready to take a new spiritual step.

            Such sphere has everything the Earth has, but in a more refined way, such as immense fields of pure food and extensive gardens. It also has a means of communication which is unknown on Earth. Its clear, thermal and medicinal sources of water of different colorations satisfy the different vibrational needs of its inhabitants. Its endless variety of singing birds and friendly animals exist in it just to serve its privileged residents. For the edification and delight of its spiritual beings, which live in bodies made of a less dense, more subtle matter, there is a remarkable tendency towards music and the arts. Isn’t this short description a pleasant invitation to each one of you?

                                                             Chapter XIV

Unprecedented events in Earth’s history – Some new continent or archipelago – Constitution of the human family – Individual life letter – Measures related to one’s departure from Earth – Spiritual tranquility of each human being

             As the forthcoming events totally transform the surface of this small earthly sphere, unprecedented effects will result. Due to the fact that the new geographical details will cause great volumes of water to be displaced from its current locations, some new continent or archipelago will then occupy the emptied spaces. Nothing which will happen on Earth will be accidental; everything was patiently and cautiously planned in the above to make it a world with happier conditions of life. As a result of these ongoing events, it is predicted that a large number of human beings will have to depart from Earth. But such departure will be beneficial to them. It will allow them to move to spiritual planes whose life conditions greatly surpass those of the Earth. The Lord of the World would never do anything which would cause unhappiness to his protégés on Earth. Due to the fact that the sole purpose behind their departure is to promote them to a better situation, there is no reason for anyone to be saddened by it.

            In case someone wonders about it, the constitution of the human family is supervised by the Superior Forces.  Since the Superior Forces organize, guide and provide everyone with the necessary resources and means, family members do not have to depend upon their family heads. When members of a family are called back to the spiritual plane, they receive the assistance and protection that they need in order to continue to exist in such plane, according to the degree of evolution they already attained. You can be certain that this does not happen by chance, for in spiritual life chance does not exist. Everything that happens was not only duly foreseen, but also recorded in one’s spiritual file. Even though the dependants of a departed family head are subject to a moral trauma, they still go on with their lives, often following different paths from those that they would follow otherwise.

            When this occurs it is because it was planned to occur, and nothing occurs for the unhappiness of those staying behind. The divine Providence would never do anything that is not for the exclusive benefit of such affected children. The departure from Earth of incarnate spirits having various dependants can be explained as fulfillment of an equally foreseen design. Such departure provides such dependants with the opportunity to follow their own path, thus enabling them to loyally fulfill tasks which they would not be able to fulfill otherwise. Those whose departure from Earth is considered premature also depart at the time foreseen in their life letters. The reason why “full-of-life” human beings return to the spirit world is either to allow their dependants to live their own destiny, with the divine Providence’s protection, or to prepare themselves in the above for a new mission of divine service.

            In such cases, they find in their spiritual plane the rest that they need in order to replenish the fluid which earthly life consumed. Such rest is a quite pleasant phase for spirits in the above; it exposes them to teachings which will be helpful to them at the time of their next descent to Earth’s physical plane. But it is good to emphasize that those who depart from Earth do not have to feel that they are isolated from their loved ones. From the spiritual plane, or spirit world, spirits can do a great deal in favor of their loved ones on Earth. Their ability to be of service to them is quite ample there. They can pray to powerful Entities in favor of those who are dear to them, and in case their prayers are reciprocated, a solid and efficient link forms between them, making them feel as close to one another as when they all lived together on Earth.

            These interesting spiritual life details should greatly contribute to the spiritual development of incarnate beings, helping prepare their minds for their departure from the Earth. It should enable them to carry in their spiritual minds a very close idea about the type of life they will find in the plane to which they will be conducted. Incarnate spirits should know that, besides reinforcing feelings of friendship with their departed loved ones, their prayers continually exalt them in the spirit world. As incarnate spirits pray for their departed loved ones, they receive from the Lord Jesus the blessings and light from their prayers. Their prayers increase the capacity of their loved ones in the above to help them on Earth. And as the permanent witness that it is, the divine Providence blesses and protects them.

            Let us now talk about an issue that is just as dear to the hearts of the residents of this world of God. It is about what usually happens when an incarnate brother or sister who is about to depart to the spiritual plane takes some related conscious or unconscious actions. As a matter of fact, it is quite rare for a man or woman to have any notion about their imminent departure, given that it could cause a profound moral shock to them. But there are cases in which a capacitated spirit will have receive such notion without the risk of shock. When a person takes some actions concerning his departure, either consciously or unconsciously, something interesting occurs in his psychic personality, which reflects in his spiritual plane. Even if he prepared himself in total ignorance of what was about to happen, he paved the way for a happy return to the spiritual plane.

            This happens to many incarnate spirits as a result of warnings they receive from spiritual friends or protectors during the sleep of their bodies or inspiration from visiting spiritual entities. In either case, they will abandon matter with the delight of those who, before leaving on a vacation make sure that everything is left in order. This happens to be very important to their tranquility in the spiritual plane where they will be living. It would be good then for all incarnate spirits to begin preparing for an early departure from this plane even though it might only occur after a good number of years. Those behaving in such a fashion will soon be able to acquire tranquility of spirit. They will even be able to significantly prolong their permanence in the flesh.

            Those who put everything in their lives in order, feeling that they are ready to disincarnate at any time without leaving problems for those staying behind, acquire such spiritual tranquility as to prolong their earthly lives significantly. Resulting from absence of moral or spiritual preoccupations, spiritual tranquility makes their bodies healthy. To a great extent, such preoccupations are responsible for illnesses which shorten the lives of many human beings. Another result of spiritual tranquility is a perfect functioning of the elements that form the human organism, which help prolong its health and life. Spiritual tranquility is like the clear water of a lake which allows its bottom to be visible from the margins. It is a sign of absolute serenity. In the same fashion, there are many limpid ideas that could help human beings establish their spiritual tranquility. A tranquil spirit is apt to pick up in the ether many great ideas which are constantly inspired from the high spheres of spirituality.

            Is it difficult for men or women to establish spiritual tranquility? Not difficult at all. In fact, being as necessary as air or water, spiritual tranquility can be established quite more easily than they suppose. All it takes is for them to consider the principles that regulate their duties towards their fellowmen. Anyone who lives in perfect harmony with his fellowmen establishes a relative degree of spiritual tranquility for himself. He who is not offended, and who does not deceive, betray or harm others already enjoys a relative spiritual tranquility. But if on top of that he still makes an effort to build a certain degree of spiritual tranquility for his fellowmen, the satisfaction he gets increases his own.

            A new degree of spiritual tranquility comes to him who fulfills his duties and prays constantly to maintain and amplify his contact with the Divine Master. The practice of prayer is indispensable to all children of God because it significantly amplifies their spiritual tranquility, whether such spirits live in the flesh or free from matter. These are the ways to amply one’s spiritual tranquility, or tranquility of conscience. One’s ability to joyfully fulfill the duties he spontaneously assumed in the above as an essential condition in his new earthly life is a major factor towards the establishment of his needed spiritual tranquility. Such ability is common to all incarnate spirits.

            We sadly notice in our daily observations men and women who do not have tranquility due to their agitated way of life. Their spirits are similar to the muddy water of a lake, which prevents visibility. If they could experience moments of happiness and wellbeing, which are common to serene, just and well-balanced souls, I believe that they would do everything in their power to build their own spiritual tranquility. They would eliminate all thoughts and actions which could bring agitation to their minds. Given that the imperfect, defective or unhealthy ideas that agitated persons have about life cause them to perform incorrect, defective or harmful deeds to other persons or to themselves, they often bring suffering, loss or deception. Since this class of people disregards prayers to the Lord as a real necessity, they are unable to distinguish good ideas among the bad. This results in a heavy burden to their conscience when they return to the spirit world.

            But by acting in the opposite direction, submitting their ideas to an elevated spiritual reasoning, these brothers and sisters will joyfully attain a lasting success in their earthly lives as well as that immense fortune called spiritual tranquility. And this is what I sincerely wish to all my esteemed readers.

Impact on Earth’s interior – Event predicted since long ago – Huge structural transformations – Massive disincarnations predicted – Work in the beyond consist of music, painting, arts – Exemplary hospitalizing organizations – Fulfillment of a great earthly mission

           When the entire earthly globe becomes agitated some years or months from now by an impact in its interior, it will be the result of an event predicted a long time ago. Thousands of Jesus’ servants have come to Earth from their spiritual planes in order to warn the Earth’s residents about what could take place in the planet at any moment. Their goal is to annunciate foreseen events to all incarnate spirits and to inform them what they should do, for their own happiness. As one of Jesus’ servants almost two millenniums ago, the spirit speaking to you now had to be part of the work which has been undertaken by so many others. Our main objective on Earth is not to acquire more light for ourselves, but to help all incarnate spirits prepare for the possibility of having to depart from the earthly soil without any previous warning.

            The situation of all those who will not be prepared for choosing to ignore such advice can be predicted. It is quite true that absolutely unpredicted disincarnations have occurred at all times, as brothers and sisters in apparent good health departed from Earth. Being natural to human life, such facts not only have always occurred but will continue to occur throughout the centuries. However, since the Earth is undergoing great structural transformation, massive disincarnations have been predicted for the present conjuncture. And due to the fact that such transformation will affect various regions simultaneously, it will be more difficult for spiritual aid to be administered to those who will be affected.

            Thus, in order for such difficulties to be prevented, men and women must be spiritually prepared, given that it allows their spirits to be in a permanent connection with the Superior Forces. Such preparation can be attained in a way that is already known to all since amply divulged. With such necessary spiritual preparation and the maintenance of a link with the Superior Forces, who are also known as “Forces of Goodness,” souls will be able then to receive direction that they need and deserve when they depart from the Earth, regardless of the circumstances. With such direction they will be able then to instinctively conduct themselves to their plane of spiritual life, where they will find the necessary conditions of comfort and wellbeing. But things will not be as simple for the unprepared souls, given that they did not build that indispensable spiritual connection in life.

            You can now see how great Jesus’ efforts are towards preserving all incarnate brothers and sisters from the frightful or painful effects which the planned events will cause. Although many incarnate spirits will probably find themselves confronted by this type of situation, those who glance at these lines should not be affected. Aware of the goodness that exists in the human heart, the Divine Master is certain that the readers will propagate this advice to friends and acquaintances so that everyone can become prepared more rapidly. When this book, which is being written in the second semester of 1966, is concluded possibly by the end of the first semester of 1967, it will enable the readers to anticipate the greatly important events that are about to take place. This way, when such events really take place, the world and the spirits in it will be duly prepared.

            Whenever death takes place unexpectedly on Earth, it is still seen as a type of misfortune. But by spirits who feel too tired to maintain their bodies, death it is seen as soothing or even desirable. Death is seen as a misfortune only by those who do not have close relations with their loved ones. Spirits that depart from Earth with God’s peace in their hearts transmit from the beyond the most grateful references about spiritual life to those earthly homes having the proper conditions to receive them. Many of such spirits cannot find appropriate words to describe the state of their life in the beyond. They are spirits who not only fulfilled their material duties on Earth, but also their spiritual duties, which are necessary to their spiritual tranquility.

            The fact that spiritual exchanges are still not widely disseminated on Earth is rather unfortunate, given that it deprives incarnate spirits in earthly homes from receiving comfort from their loved ones in the beyond. But the approaching times shall bring great progress to this front as well for the greater joy and happiness of those who will continue to live on Earth. No one on Earth has ever heard from discarnate relatives any disturbing remarks about spiritual life, such as high cost of living or problems with transportation or unemployment. The reason why no one hears about these things from departed friends or relatives is that they do not exist in the spirit world. Such problems exist only among you, esteemed readers. In the spirit world you will find the most beautiful environments, comfortable dwelling places, work and food according to individual needs.

            You will also find in the spirit world spirits who do not want to have anything to do with work since such indisposition is congenital in them. But that does not prevent them from participating in everything that exists as a result of the efforts from those who strive towards something. I predict that you would be curious to know about the different types of work that exist in the above, or beyond. All types of work which exist on Earth also exist in the spirit world, although in a much more refined sense. The immense field of assistance exists for those wanting to serve; it allows them to assist souls that return from Earth overburdened with physical and moral suffering since convinced that have not disincarnated. Since such souls return to the spirit world by the millions each day, they need delicate and tender assistance until becoming convinced that they have indeed died on Earth and that their physical suffering was buried together with matter.

            What needs to be treated for them to acquire spiritual tranquility is their moral suffering, which is quite more difficult to cure due to its origin. However, the assistance that they receive in their new plane of life slowly helps them attain a relative happiness until they eventually transform themselves into spiritual assistants to disincarnating souls. This is just one of the many types of work available to anyone who wishes to undertake it in the beyond. There are also countless different types which are joyfully undertaken by the spirits. They make the dedicated entities undertaking them extremely happy. Besides being able to spend their time in something useful, they receive new and constant lights from such work, which increase the brilliance of their beautiful diadem.

            In addition, there exist irreprehensible hospitals and hospitalizing stations in the spirit world where discarnate souls recuperate from certain illnesses. Due to the fact that such illnesses did not stay with their remains on Earth, they need to be eliminated. Since among the infirmities that affect the spirit a number of common vices can be found, they have to be completely and permanently treated. Due to the need that such spiritual organizations have to provide countless numbers of services, they count on hundreds and even thousands of workers who, being free from the earthly environment’s heavy matter, live the spirit’s life joyfully and happily. Such organizations can be considered as model organizations.

            It is interesting to see spiritual entities come to these organizations not to visit their relatives or friends, but mainly to irradiate vibrations of health and wellbeing on the spirits that are there to receive treatment. To describe the details of such organizations, an entire book would have to be written. You will someday see that many of the doctors and surgeons that work in such organizations in the spirit world were known to you on Earth. A beautiful spirit, who was a source of joy in Diamantino’s home, this dear intermediary of mine, works in the registration office of one of the largest and most beautiful hospitals in the spirit world for more than twenty years. This information is confidential because I did not ask Diamantino’s permission to relay it to you. This beautiful spirit successfully performed the important task it received from Jesus in its last incarnation on Earth, which was to gain the deep affection of its earthly progenitors. Born into a feminine body, this spirit fulfilled its duties of daughter, thus becoming a source of joy in such home.

            At the Lord’s determination, this daughter tranquilly departed from her earthly home leaving everyone in it immersed in a most profound longing, exactly as it had been foreseen. The marvelous link which this spirit took in its heart produced an immediate connection between its earthly home and the magnanimous heart of the Lord. Such link caused then this dear old-times friend to become involved in this Crusade of Elucidation, which is in full development on Earth. Apart from sentimentalism, this case helps explain the reason for many of the so-called premature disincarnations. As a rule, they all have similar motives. I see tears on this dear friend’s eyes as I touched such a sensitive cord in his heart. But he knows that the spirit that brought joy into his home for twenty-three years is an able and dedicated worker in this hospital’s registration and accounting office, a specialty which she studied on Earth. But regardless of activities that discarnate spirits perform in the above, they all gather in late afternoons to offer prayers of gratitude to God.

            It gives us great joy to witness such beautiful spectacle as thousands of souls worship God and Jesus. The intense luminosity that such gatherings produce is projected to the above and then irradiated to all earthly homes. It is a contribution from souls in the beyond to help incarnate spirits carry their crosses. What I described above is something you will have the opportunity to witness someday, as you have already done in between your numerous past incarnations. These are but traces of the beautiful images that await all of you, after which you will not desire to return to the flesh unless if it is to render new services to Jesus. Remember this well.

            Note from the intermediary: At the end the above chapter, the spirit of Paul of Tarsus had the captivating kindness of dictating the following note: “Dear friend: I took the liberty of writing about a matter related to this dear spirit which all of us also love dearly in the above as a needed demonstration to parents who remain inconsolable after losing their loved ones still in their infancy or youth. Even though I am sorry for the emotion that I have caused you, I ask you to leave the chapter as is. Best regards. Paul of Tarsus.”

Earth’s image – Vanity and ambition as cause of bellicose conflicts – Spiritual ignorance – Punishment through painful incarnations –Origin of the current progress – Assembly of great ideas – The air is filled with ideas

    

        Life on Earth may seem a constant nighttime to inhabitants of more advanced worlds in view of the constant misunderstandings that take place among its populations. And although incarnate spirits on Earth may think that it is not always so, the point is still valid. But is it really necessary for human beings to undergo frequent misunderstandings, as it has been the case so far, in order to make their lives happier? The correct answer is an obvious no. A careful examination indicates that earthly leaders’ vanity and ambition are mostly responsible for the bellicose conflicts that have occurred on Earth since times immemorial. No bellicose conflict had the welfare, progress or happiness of the peoples involved as its basis. Their exclusive aim for dominating larger populations was to satisfy the warring leaders’ vanity and ambition for greatness. Fratricidal wars are a clear sign of spiritual ignorance by those responsible for unleashing them.

            This is correct, esteemed readers; only deep spiritual ignorance can cause a leader to deflagrate an armed conflict against human beings of other regions, given that it infallibly interrupts thousands or millions of lives as precious as their own. And just to satisfy a leaders’ vanity or ambition for greater power. Nothing can be more unjust than such a behavior, dear readers, which has been quite common in humanity’s history. But such leaders paid dearly for the evil that they caused to their contemporaries. With a few exceptions, they all came to bitterly regret their past deeds in incarnations filled with a great deal of suffering. Such exceptions involved conflicts which originated in the need to awaken human beings who, due to sentimental practices or interests contrary to earthly life’s superior objectives, allowed themselves to be involved in a state of lethargy. As they turned more and more towards pleasure of the senses in the course of humanity’s various phases, the iron and fire of bellicose conflicts became necessary to awaken them. This always bought about the expected results. But prior to such a decision, the Superior Forces tried different recourses next to such populations deviated from the suitable path. Emissaries and prophets tried very hard to awaken their sentiments towards goodness and spiritual progress, which is the exclusive reason for their coming to the earthly soil. But since their illuminated words proved insufficient to awaken such hardened hearts, there was no other recourse but to resort to armed conflicts, so that the dullness of their lives could be brought to an end through suffering. On such instances, which have been many in the past two millenniums, those responsible for starting armed conflicts were spirits who had been specially chosen for such a task due to their valor and determination. When such spirits returned to their spiritual planes, they were awarded for having fulfilled their missions.

            On the other hand, leaders responsible for slaughtering their fellowmen due to vanity or ambition for power went on to suffer bitterly, as already mentioned. The painful incarnations which they lived on Earth for crimes committed against their contemporaries enabled them to completely eliminate such grave defects. It is a true fact that a good part of Earth’s current progress came as a result of past conflicts. As incarnate spirits looked for ways to annihilate their opponents, scores of new gadgets appeared then in all sectors of human life, bringing general benefits to human kind. And although in many ways misunderstandings were useful to humanity’s progress, it would certainly be much better for scientists to study ways to promote the progress and happiness of the populations in an environment of peace and harmony. This is perfectly possible to achieve since all that it requires is for incarnate spirits to keep a permanent link with the Superior Forces. They should be able this way to receive inspirations to help them make great new discoveries in the earthly plane. This is the way it is in more advanced worlds; since they completely eliminated all armed conflicts, continuous progress are made in all sectors.

            Since there are many ideas in the earthly environment which were inspired by the Superior Forces, such ideas can be attracted through meditation. Meditation enables the mind to become free and apt to receive such inspirations. In order for one’s mental field to be favorably disposed to receive inspirations, it needs to be cleansed at the end of each working day. After dealing with many different issues, the kind of nebulosity that involves one’s mind prevents it from receiving great ideas. Nothing can be as efficient as prayers from minds in seclusion. The luminous projection of prayers eliminates nebulous condensations from the mind, cleansing it. If after their prayers human beings mediated for about ten to fifteen minutes, great and beautiful ideas would come to them. It would allow them to attract ideas which most harmonize with the possibilities of their minds. You all have your possibilities, dear readers; magnificent ideas about your profession and aptitudes can be found in the mental plane. Such magnificent ideas wait to be attracted and assimilated, for your progress and wellbeing.

            For instance, there are many ideas in the mental plane regarding all types of motors, such as those used in homes, land, air and water transportation or food processing and preservation available to the human mind for application on Earth. And since no one would want to attract several ideas at the same time, those interested in discovering new improvements on specific fields such machines or motors should meditate on them. By spending a lot of time thinking about and visualizing such improvements, pertinent ideas will be clearly inspired into them. And while such inspirations may not become positive to them at once, they will eventually come to them. The process is the same for the other professions or specialties, for useful ideas concerning one’s activities or similar activities will always be found, including ideas that could be called ingenious. The essential thing here is to put one’s mind to work. The industrialist who wants a better packaging process for his industry does not need to do anything other than visualizing such a desire through daily meditation. The best that exists in that sector will be transmitted to his mind once, twice or more times.

            Since the air is full of new ideas according to a well-known ancient adage, the issue then is how to apply them. The process for attracting new ideas is called meditation. Everyone is capable of attracting great and valuable ideas for the progress of the Earth as well as their own with ten to fifteen minutes of meditation, and that depends on their will power. When an incarnate spirit fills his mind during his daily meditation with a strong desire to help the progress of his community, during the sleep of his body he is conducted to a certain spatial region where such improvement exists. He can this way study it more closely and record it in his subconscious mind.

            As a matter of fact, this occurs quite frequently throughout the entire planet. Thousands and thousands of incarnate souls visit areas of their interest in the spirit world in order to learn things which they can apply on Earth. I am at your disposition in the above in case you need my modest assistance with your aspirations. All you need to do is call my name. You can call me by the name with which I sign this book, which I used in the days of my Christian work, or the name which the Church of Rome uses. The title “saint” exists only on Earth. In the above we use the word “brother” joyfully, for it better defines fraternal sentiments among all souls in the universe. In view of the fact that one’s thought accompanies his call, the entity in question receives it instantly, even before its name is pronounced.

            I will then joyfully take you to the area of your interest, dear readers, so that you can learn what you desire for application on Earth. But I am not the only one who can assist you. Requests which you mentally irradiate during meditation will find a great number of spiritual entities ready to serve you, whose exclusive desire is to be useful to incarnate brothers and sisters like you who desire to learn new things in space. Keep this in your minds carefully.

Improvements planned for the next century – New elements of progress will appear on Earth – Missionaries of divine service – There is no more time to wait – The Superior Forces’ task – My real objective – Mediumistic faculties are worth a fortune

           

           The Superior Forces responsible for directing and supervising human life on this physical plane have, since early times, strived to awaken some of the knowledge and experiences which, acquired in previous lives, are stored in the memories of incarnate spirits. Although their efforts produced only scarce results as a result of the fact that it is difficult for spiritual ideas to penetrate the flesh, they succeeded in implanting a series of improvements on Earth. But since they were not sufficient, other improvements had to be planned for the next century in order to meet Earth’s need for progress.

            A profound structural modification has then become necessary in many areas which are but useless to the populations even though they have existed for millenniums. In order to meet the needs of an ever increasing population, such ongoing modification needs to be profound so that these areas can be changed into fertile fields. A significant number of hidden metals which will facilitate Earth’s progress will then become known to men. This is the reason why the Master of the World and the Superior Forces planed this crusade of elucidation, which is meant to prevent the population from being taken by surprise or panic when such events come to pass. Most of the Lord’s luminous assistants are already in the earthly environment pursuing such objective. Some of these assistants have been assigned to elucidate the populations by way of the written word, which is the case with the spirit that is speaking to you now as well as our luminous brother Thomas. Once these words are put into book form, they should reach large numbers of brothers and sisters on Earth. Others have been assigned to elucidate the populations through the spoken word before small audiences, given that words tend to remain in one’s memory.

            But due to the fact that the number of spiritual organizations which allow the emissaries of the Lord to be heard is still quite small, the inspirational process needs to be used as much as possible. And given that such process has developed quite well, the most instrumental human elements are being properly inspired in all regions of the Earth with appreciable results. There is no time for further delays in the forthcoming telluric events’ calendar. There is no time to wait for God’s children to decide whether or not to accept what we, emissaries of the Master of the World, have been transmitting to Earth. There is only time for one to resort to the only means of security within his reach, which is daily fervent and sincere contact with the Superior Forces, who are represented on Earth by the Lord Jesus. This clearly constitutes the main subject of all chapters. This is truthfully the basic objective of my presence among you through this book. I am immensely happy to be able to speak to you through such means and grateful to this brother, Diamantino, for serving as my instrument.

            Diamantino was sent to Earth by the Lord Jesus at the end of the last century precisely to fulfill the task which he has been loyally and enthusiastically fulfilling today.

As part of Jesus’ small circle of luminous servants, he helped propagate Jesus’ consoling doctrine of love and fraternization in the beginning of the Christian era with example and faith. Diamatino’s spiritual file, which is similar to mine, indicates that he experienced major suffering in at least two of his earthly incarnations as he became a target due to his faith in Jesus’ doctrine. It gives us great joy to see that he is admirably fulfilling such great task during his current permanence in the earthly soil.

            My objective is to awaken in the readers the idea that they too can undertake equally important divine service missions. The fact that the evolutionary progress of both Earth and its inhabiting spirits is limitless allows them to develop their latent faculties. By developing your degree of instruction, culture, progress and moral elevation, you can eventually become efficient messengers of the Superior Forces capable then of fulfilling dignifying tasks wherever necessary. What those willing to participate in this great task need to do in this and next century is to try to develop the aptitudes and faculties which they already possess. It could seem to someone less prepared or clarified that, being the greatness and the spiritual powerfulness that directs and superintends life on Earth, the Superior Forces do not need assistance from incarnate spirits. The Superior Forces’ main task is to inspire all men and women about what is really convenient for their spiritual progress, which they do by projecting ideas of harmony and progress into the earthly environment. Another task is to prevent events that are contrary to people’s wellbeing and happiness from either occurring or being prolonged.

            These are the permanent tasks performed by the Superior Forces in the earthly surface during day and night. But whenever they need to remove small material obstacles such as pebble or straw stalk they resort to incarnate elements. Because incarnate human beings are made of matter, their assistance becomes necessary in the removal of material obstacles. This is the reason why entities that have mediumistic aptitudes and faculties are born on Earth so frequently. Such duly prepared entities are thus capable of carrying out specific functions at specific times.

            Can you tell me how many of you have significant mediumistic faculties? The fact that you may not have experienced such faculties does not mean that you do not have them. I assure you that those reading this book brought into this incarnation mediumistic faculties that are worth a fortune. Such faculties can make them eligible for that beautiful and precious award which our Lord reserves for his servants on Earth. Ask the Superior Forces through meditation about the kind of divine service you are apt to perform in your environment and they will reply promptly, given that are always attentive to the thoughts that their children direct to them.   If their reply does not become positive in your mind at once, have no doubt that it will in the coming days probably during a conversation with a friend or acquaintance. A word or idea coming from such a conversation may then clarify to you the path that will lead you to perform divine service. It could also result from your sympathy for some spiritual Christian practice, which would be a positive indication of your inclinations.

            The means I am using to dictate these pages is quite efficient and anyone can use it to perform beautiful services to Jesus. To serve as intermediaries to evolved entities wishing to share their happiness with their incarnate brothers and sisters is undoubtedly one of the greatest services anyone can do for his community, for it always receive it with utmost interest. Humanity’s interest on spiritual matters will increase in the future for the simple reason that “hardened” or “materialistic” spirits will not reincarnate on Earth any longer. Such elements, which still exist on Earth in great numbers, will not be allowed to return here. They will follow the destiny compatible with their current vibrations as soon as they disincarnate. They will then either go to an inferior world or remain in the above at a standstill as long as it takes them to improve their ideas.

            Thus, words dictated on Earth through mediumistic means and with the Lord’s approval shall be received with interest and joy. Since you might wonder how to identify words authorized by the Lord, I will gladly clarify it. Considering that there are entities (spirits) in the above as there are on Earth have certain degrees of culture and are sincere and honest when they expose their ideas, the advice which spiritual entities may transmit to humanity through an earthly intermediary has then to be analyzed. If such advice and teachings are transmitted in Jesus’ name, they will be able to help human souls improve themselves based on the Christian principles that you all know. Such messages must contain a most pure and saintly sense in order to be able to direct everyone to Jesus and God, regardless of the language involved. But if contrary to Christian principles, which are cemented in the spirit of fraternization and love for one another, such messages will involve unauthorized entities who do not have conditions to offer advice to their brothers and sisters on Earth. This is the way spiritual beings present themselves and operate when they communicate with human beings.

            If one elevates a prayer to the Lord before initiating a mediumistic work, there is no danger that an entity that is incapable of performing the task will manifest itself. Prayer will not only clear one’s mental field, but also attracts his spiritual guardian so as to prevent unauthorized entities from using his mediumistic instrument. Only if a medium possesses inferior moral conditions could he be tricked; it would prevent evolved entities from utilizing his mediumistic instrument. But the messages would speak for themselves in such cases. Regardless of how good an instrument may be, a medium’s inferior moral conditions are similar to a musical instrument. A piano, for example, could really become useless in the execution of a composition due to neglect or improper use. The medium’s tune up in such cases consists of abandoning all practices condemned by Christian morals such as those recorded in the “Ten Commandments.” By doing so, his instrument would be restored to such a degree that even by the Divine Master himself could utilize it.

            Here you have, dear readers, what seems to me to be excellent advice to all of you. Just place your mediumistic instrument at the Lord’s disposal, and He will designate someone with the conditions to utilize it.

                                                               Chapter XVIII

Earth’s early stages – Origin of bellicose process – Belligerent spirits are not allowed to reincarnate – Profession change – What belongs to Earth remains on Earth – The future Earth – Mental body’s performance

      

            Spirits of great evolution were selected to incarnate on Earth when it was first delivered to human beings in order to assist them with their needs and the development of their spiritual aptitudes and faculties. Since the Earth in those days was spacious enough to accommodate all inhabitants, human life was simple. Men’s ambitions were confined to providing food and shelter for themselves as well as caring for domestic animals. The fact that they remembered recommendations which they had received in the spirit world helped them solve many of earthly life’s problems. The improvements that they were able to attain throughout many centuries contributed to elevate human life’s conditions. But if the improvements brought to Earth by advanced spirits produced better life conditions for themselves, they also awoke in them sentiments of ambition, greatness and dominion of fellowmen. That is what led them to the bellicose process which has hindered humanity’s spiritual development on this physical plane.

            The ambition for greatness which many incarnate spirits have nourished since then as well as all of its ramifications is what caused the spiritual progress of the millions of souls who are incarnated on Earth to remain still. Ignorant of the great principle that “only love constructs for eternity” and anxious to become owners of the world, men went on to develop the bellicose process throughout the surface of the Earth. Such men were not aware that there are limits which divine laws impose on human life, and that no one on Earth really owns anything here, including the body he uses to move about.

            The fact that chiefs of some ancient tribes prepared themselves to conquer the possessions of those inhabiting different areas forced such inhabitants to likewise prepare to defend their homes. Since such preoccupation took all their time, they had no time left to pursue interests of the spirit. Another aggravating situation involved the fact that many spirits who passed on to the spiritual plane were concerned with bellicose matters. Since they were anxious to conquer what belonged to others by force, in the spiritual plane they continued to perfect plans and warlike processes for use after they obtained permission to return to Earth. In fact, spirits who were involved in warlike activities on Earth continued to be interested in them in the above, collecting ideas and conducting studies to perfect such activities.

            In order to prevent such spirits from pursuing their previous activities, it was decided that they would no longer be permitted to reincarnate in the region or country of their previous reincarnation. When some of them obtained permission to reincarnate, they were conducted to regions or countries far from where they had lived previously. Despite the fact that this was meant to prevent them from creating new misunderstandings and conflicts, their old ideas assailed them after they had settled on their new environment. And since they preached such ideas to their contemporaries, they frequently obtained the desired results. It caused human conflicts to spread throughout the Earth, to the detriment of countless sacrificed brothers.

            But at some point in time the Superior Forces took the necessary measures to remove such a great obstacle to spiritual progress, which is spirits who were responsible for the so-called punitive wars, or wars of conquest. Such spirits would not be allowed to return to Earth again, or in case they were, they would be subject to some pre-determined conditions to prevent them from ascending over their fellowmen in any way whatsoever. However, given their desire to reincarnate, most of them gladly accepted such conditions, which would allow them to breathe in the heavy earthly atmosphere again. Once they immersed themselves in the flesh in new incarnations, some of these belligerent brothers performed agricultural activities while others specialized themselves in different types of craft or worked as laborers. By the time they returned to the spirit world, their ideas had completely changed, for they could finally comprehend earthly life’s objectives, which are solely and exclusively meant to improve the moral qualities of human beings on their way towards God.

            Despite all this, the Superior Forces still were not able to definitively prevent human conflicts orchestrated by leaders of some regions from taking place. But with the measures which are beginning to be implemented in the earthly soil, armed conflicts will come to an end. Men will finally have to understand that no one has the right to conquer peoples which were born in better or more fertile regions. If other children of God live and prosper in such regions, it is a result of a Superior Forces’ determination. It is known that, no matter how vast one’s possessions may be, he cannot take away anything that belongs to Earth. Souls can only take away what they are able to accumulate in the form of lights and blessings. Possessions or riches acquired which one accumulates through his work not only belong but stay on Earth for the welfare of those who remain.

            In view of such a principle, why should men strive to conquer what belongs to others? Leaders should reflect on this and then study how to provide their subjects with the best conditions of life. They can be certain that they will find the ideas and the means to provide nourishment and comfort to them. Earthly leaders should keep in mind that not only their incarnations are transitory, but also the regions in which they occasionally live their lives. Spirits who lived two or more incarnations in the Orient in order to assimilate still unknown teachings and costumes will in time reincarnate in the Occident, Americas, Africa or Australia, so that they can then acquire new knowledge. It is similar to the way in which primary school children sit in the back of the classroom in the beginning. But as they acquire knowledge they will need in the future, they move closer to the teacher.

            After the Earth is transformed into a spiritualized planet in the near future, and spirit reigns over matter, the errors which men committed in the past against their weaker contemporaries will no longer take place. I say weaker because there is not any case in History in which a weaker nation provoked an armed conflict against a stronger nation. It has been always the stronger nations, or those thinking they were stronger, who provoked the weaker nations. And although there is a universal word that describes this, I will not mention it. We will see in the future the opposite of what happened in the past: with a collective sentiment translating spiritual greatness, stronger nations will not only respect weaker or poorer nations, but will also help them solve problems which might be beyond their capacity to solve, such as in catastrophic situations. The future Earth will consist of souls of medium and superior evolution who will harbor the purest sentiments of love and fraternization for others in their hearts. This will not be something new in the universe; it is already a way of life in others planets inhabited by human beings like you.

            The selection process which is currently occurring in superior spiritual planes will definitely remove human elements from Earth who have been unable to adjust to its life conditions. This way, they will not become exception to the rules that are currently in effect on Earth. For a better understanding of this process, I will describe to you an event that took place in another plane of life. Due to the fact that a certain number of spirits did not conform to determinations of such a plane to change habits and procedures which were incompatible with the lives of most of their contemporaries, plans for their removal were made. Since they had been receiving clarification for a long period of time, they were invited to seriously meditate on the imperfections they still showed in their lives of relations. But due to fear of being banished from such a planet, which they entered after a long peregrination in other planets, most of them accepted such determinations from the above, correcting themselves. However, many of them underestimated them, proceeding with their condemnable practices and procedures, like it is currently happening on Earth. Due to their erroneous conception of life, they rather maintain themselves by sacrificing their fellowmen’s lives and goods than by having honest occupations, like everyone else.

            But the time came for the actions of these rebellious elements to be stopped. As they were then conducted to a spiritual plane of such world, a thorough examination indicated that they no longer had the capacity to self-correct themselves because of their inclination to practice acts incompatible with their environment. Since they had become too hardened in evil or too weak in their will, should they undergo probation on a certain plane for an indefinite period of time in the hope that they would correct themselves, or be sent to an inferior world, so that suffering could awaken their crystallized sentiments and potentialities? Specialized scientists carried out the divine Goodness’ decision. Since they all were well experienced souls in view of their peregrination in worlds of different categories through the millenniums, who had earned the right to live in such a plane, they should not undergo a new peregrination in an inferior world and face endless suffering. But the base of their crystallized sentiments and potentialities would have to be replaced through surgery. Such a surgery, however, would allow them to keep their memories and all elements of progress which they had earned throughout long and harsh millenniums. This way, they would be able to continue to live in such wave of life.

            Although it may seem strange to you that souls can be operated upon, just as described above, it really occurs. Such surgeries extirpate from their mental bodies atoms of their power of volition which became virtually annulled and replace them with totally new and pure atoms of easy integration and adaptation. Such surgeries, which are highly refined, can be compared to those which surgeons perform on Earth to replace organs that became useless, so that their patients can continue to live their lives with tranquility. The difference is that the implanted organ does not definitely integrate itself; it just performs a function. As for the spiritual surgery, since the implanted atoms definitely integrate in the mental body of the soul, it allows many rather evolved souls to continue their progress in their wave of life. Souls who undergone such a surgery return to their planet in a rather peculiar way, which is, filled with curiosity. They are curious about everything that they see and hear from childhood to old age.

            As the new atoms which constitute a good part of their mental bodies become impregnated with new habits and processes, they are led away from their old undesirable practices. In its highest wisdom, the divine Goodness uses processes which can solve all kinds of problems, including those which may be considered unsolvable.

Origin of the lights and blessings adorning spiritual personalities – Acquisition of material possessions – Objective of reincarnation – Acquisition of spiritual conscience – To each according to his deeds – He who harms with iron …

     

           The lights and blessings which adorn personalities of spiritual entities through the entire universe come from their efforts in the course of countless incarnations in God’s worlds. No entity in the spirit world has ever been able to add an ounce of such divine gifts to its spiritual diadem through purchase, gift or loan from another entity. Not even one, dear readers. The lights that we display in our spiritual personalities are a result of from the experiences we acquired in planes of life we were called to live in. Just as we never loose our experiences, for they definitely become assets of the spirit, the lights and blessings from our efforts to serve humanity never separate from us either. Since this is a great truth, men and women living in this transitional phase of the Earth should meditate on it. When you return to your spiritual plane, the lights and blessings that you will notice constitute souls’ reward for the work, prayer and meditation they performed throughout the millenniums.

            It is necessary to emphasize once again that the sole purpose of human life is acquisition of greater lights and blessings for the spirit. This is the reason why those of us who follow the moves, attitudes and thoughts of our brothers and sisters greatly lament the deviations involving so many of them. By deviating from their true route, they willingly throw themselves into precipices of their choice. It is necessary that you become aware of a great truth for your exclusive welfare and happiness. The riches of the world, reward of one’s efforts on Earth, such as loyally and honestly accumulated fortunes, are entirely useless in the spirit world. Only when meritorious deeds are involved can fortunes then make the spirits that return to the spirit world happy. Only through meritorious deeds can human beings contribute to their illumination.

            While everyone shares the idea that the future of their descendants can be secured by material assets, it is not shared by the Superior Forces. When spirits come to Earth for a new incarnation, each brings the necessary conditions to fulfill its earthly trajectory. If accumulation of wealth is part of such conditions, they are led to it; it will be placed on their path. But inheritance of wealth will not be worth anything to incarnate spirits who need to follow a different route; it will be diluted by the circumstances. It would be much better for human beings to keep their thoughts turned to God and Jesus as they live their temporary lives rather than to material things which do not really belong to them.  Since the hearts of men and women disposed to maintain a permanent link with the Superior Forces are filled with peace and happiness, they will never lack the things that they need for a tranquil and prosperous life on Earth. Such a spiritual law is in effect in all the planes of the universe. In fact, will all of his inherent qualities, each spiritual being on Earth represents a complete world. Once spiritual beings develop some of these qualities and become more and more their own masters, they will in time become totally conscious beings in the universe.

            Reincarnation’s main objective is to allow spiritual beings to become self-conscious to such a point that they will become omniscient, omnipotent and omnipresent gods, just as the true God we worship. And they inevitably will. In order to reach such elevated level, men and women should think that they already possess the moral qualities that are necessary for them to attain spiritual consciousness. They should begin to mentally practice at once that, since they are perfect creatures in the Divine Mind, they already possess all that they need to attain spiritual consciousness in their own time.

            By thinking that they do not need anything from the outside to become their absolute masters, they will develop cells which will give them such a power. This way, they will soon begin to feel a remarkable change in their habits and thoughts. When feelings of consciousness instinctively correct some of their old habits, their spirits will then begin to screen habits which they previously did not consider inconvenient. To keep away inconvenient or detrimental habits is the same as to remove obstacles from the path that leads to spiritual consciousness.

            Many millions of souls have already reached such a grand goal in the universe. Men and women will, in a short period of time, clearly feel that there is a new force in their resolve, likings, habits and thoughts, which did not exist before. This is how it works: when the spirits of those who follow the path to spiritual consciousness attain this new powerful force, it allows them to live the real life they came to live on Earth. But it does not have anything to do with material pleasures, given that they do not contribute to the happiness of the spirit at all. Their minds will then begin to entertain only thoughts which their spiritual minds select and keep away those not in the most perfect harmony with their spiritual entity.

            Given that some readers might wonder if prayer and meditation would be necessary in such circumstances, my answer is yes. Prayer’s advantage is that it establishes a link between spirits and Divinity. It is the establishment of this magnetic current that enables praying spirits to receive vibrations of harmony, love and happiness. Prayer also eliminates inferior or harmful vibrations from one’s mental fields which are accumulated in the earthly atmosphere and can cause a series of harm.

            As for meditation, it allows human beings to relay requests to the Divine Mind as well as to receive answers. Meditation is a state of communion between human beings and the always attentive Superior Forces. The virtues of prayer and meditation are not annulled by a human beings’ decision to attain spiritual consciousness, which is the same as to prepare to be admitted into the elevated category of superior spirits. Everyone should strive to cultivate prayer and meditation as their most precious spiritual nourishment.

To seek consciousness does not mean that men or women have to trace a route which will lead them to lose interest in their journey companions.

             No, my dear brothers and sisters; what it means is that although you will help your fellowmen in any possible way, you do not own their anguish or unhappiness. You should help those who need help and alleviate lamentable situations coming before you in any way possible without forgetting: “to each according to his own merits,” or, “each shall reap what he sows.” No one on Earth or on any other world is unhappy because of actions of others. The sole cause of good or bad, happy or unhappy situations in the life of humans is found inside them. Anyone else would be just a providential agent deflagrating the situation. In any case, the Law of Cause and Effect will be simply executing its millenary postulate: “he who harms with iron will be harmed with iron.”

            There is something spiritual consciousness that still needs to be clarified. Those who assume such attitude with true love for their fellowmen may not be able to return to their spiritual plane so soon because they could live on Earth until they are ninety or even a hundred years old in the most perfect spiritual peace. When life is lived more by the spirit than matter, it is greatly prolonged. The life of the body becomes a matter of will of its spirit. The ability for the spirit to end its incarnation whenever life on Earth is no longer convenient would be in its hands. Due to the efforts that the construction of a body requires, everyone should use their earthly lives as long as possible for their spiritual greatness.

Earth without luminous projection – Universal interdependence – Human and spiritual interdependence – The Lord’s great concerns – Evolution of the spirit – The greatest wealth which one can take away from Earth – All religious schools, without distinction

        

        The light that allows people to live in worlds that do not have their own light comes from millions of illumined worlds which roll in infinite space. Life in worlds such as Earth would not be possible without such luminous projection. Without light, Earth would be a planet totally unsuitable for life, for without nitrogen, plants and humans would not be able to survive. All creatures’ life depends on the constant, uninterrupted luminous projection that comes from other planets in this solar system. Human progress in the smallest details of material life originates from this fact. Without such constant projection of light, the air would not be breathable by both humans and animals. And due to the fact that the lack of hydrogen would change the fluid state of the water into dense, it would cause all underwater life to cease.

            This shows you that your planet does not possess its own light, as you might have supposed. To some extent, earthly life depends on the beneficial radiations from other planets. This is due to the universal interdependence that exists among everything, including human beings on Earth and in other planes of universal life. As men and women become aware that they are not self-sufficient, that earthly life is a mixture of interdependence and dependence, they should constantly meditate on these things. By increasing their ability to reason, they will be able to attract new lights for their spirits. Whenever humans realize this truth, which is older than all inhabited worlds, their sentiment of solidarity will be such that it will eliminate almost all kinds of harm which derive from their ambition for greatness and superiority.

            The smallest details of human interdependence can be verified in everyone’s lives from the time they are born to the time they go to their graves. Whether human beings live on earthly soil or a plane of spiritual life, they should not consider themselves to be independent from anything at all. If I told you that even Jesus does not consider himself independent in his spiritual living, it would be an authentic truth, esteemed readers. Entrusted by the Celestial to oversee the evolution of earthly humanity, whether they are incarnated on Earth or in apprenticeship in spiritual planes, the Lord Jesus is linked to their progress to such a degree his incessant concern for them makes him interdependent.

            It might appear to those not familiar with this kind of spiritual knowledge that, since our Lord Jesus is a spirit of a most elevated category, who is entrusted to govern his protégés without the problems that could affect the clarities of his privileged and happy existence, He could certainly consider himself absolutely independent. But given that our Lord assumes responsibilities that no one among you could ever imagine, and that his attention and devotion involves billions or trillions of souls in full spiritual development, not a minute goes by in which He is not attentively focused on his protégés.

            His protégés include everyone who is on Earth collecting new lights for their spirits as well as in planes of apprenticeship in the beyond to assimilate the good and useful things they were able to accomplish during their last visit to Earth. The above gives you a slight idea about the Lord Jesus’ constant preoccupation. By having his thoughts fixed on all of you twenty-four hours a day, He follows your acts, attitudes and thoughts, thus trying to conduct all of you toward the path that leads to true peace and spiritual tranquility. As you ascend in the scale of spiritual progress, you will find that your responsibilities will also increase. By refining one’s sensibility, spiritual ascension allows him to embrace greater and vaster activities, thus increasing his responsibilities.

            By looking at universal life through a different prism, new and important details will at some point in our evolution surprisingly come to sight. I said “our evolution” because we all are equals. Evolution slowly brings spirits in contact with truly surprising processes and teachings. Evolution convinces the apparently independent spirit that its happiness, peace and tranquility ever more depend upon the happiness, peace and tranquility of its fellow creatures. This feeling causes the spirit to wish ardently to be able to help the less evolved climb the steps that they have already climbed. This way, everyone will be able to enjoy the peace and the happiness that evolution provides.

            There is no other reason for my presence on Earth at this time in spirit than to try to instill the grand idea in your spirits that spiritual evolution is the greatest wealth that you can take with you from the Earth. Being assets of the spirit, evolutionary progress has prospects to grow throughout the years or centuries, together with your spiritual happiness. The fact that evolution increases the spirit’s responsibilities as it allows it a greater vision of the universal panorama should not frighten anyone. Happiness goes hand in hand with evolution.

            Regarding Lord Jesus’ responsibilities, they cannot really be evaluated by any of us in view of the fact that are immense. Regarding spiritual life, a soul’s greatest reward is the joy from doing good things to others. The greatest joy or compensation of Lord Jesus’ extremely elevated spirit is to confirm in his magnanimous heart a change of behavior by a protégé as a result of the advice and teachings that we have been diffusing on Earth.

            Since the coming days will bring surprises in this end of century which are beyond anyone’s imagination, and the fact that everyone seems quite cozy, the Lord’s care and preoccupation have intensified. It would good then for one to read these lines without the type of curiosity that makes him rush towards the end. Given that a substantial part of what is about to happen on this small terrestrial world could be reveled by what is in between the lines, each paragraph should be carefully read and meditated upon.

            You have been informed in general terms about the need to operate certain modifications on the structure of the Earth, so that enormous unproductive areas can be better used for maintenance and progress of its residents. These structural changes were planned long ago precisely for this end of century as a result of certain favorable conditions in this solar system. Due to the fact that such changes will cause a high number of souls to disincarnate, they will be tenderly received, assisted and conducted by organizations entrusted with such a task, in accordance with explanations contained in Apostle Thomas’ books. It is necessary then that everyone prepares for the annunciated facts by keeping daily contact with the Superior Forces through prayer.

            It would be really lamentable if, in the aftermath of these events, it became necessary for the Superior Forces to have to throw nets in the vacuum that is beyond the earthly atmosphere in order to retrieve unprepared or incredulous souls. In order to prevent this from happening, everything was thoroughly foreseen and planned, including retrieval of discarnate souls from both the earthly atmosphere and the vacuum beyond, souls who, concerning themselves mainly with transitory interests, neglected the true interests behind their coming to Earth.

            I will now share with you some interesting religious knowledge. Due to the useful understanding that religious institutions provide to their followers, they are as respected in the above as they are on Earth. But because spiritual assistance does not distinguish the Catholics, Evangelicals, Islamic, Jews, Buddhists or Hindus, their followers should not be prevented from preparing to depart from Earth at a moment’s notice. While followers may be subordinated to different currents of thought, they all will be received and assisted with equal efforts and tenderness for being children of the same God.

            Relief organizations in the above will assist anyone disincarnating as a result of the ongoing works; they shall conduct their spirits to the spiritual plane that they belong to according to their degree of spiritual development. All children are equal before the Celestial Father.
