    Chapter XLI

Modifications that will last two to three millenniums – Meat will be replaced by more spiritualized foods – Chemical agents to be extracted from vegetables – Less voluminous human bodies – A category of "superior spirits” awaits you – Just a small effort on your part

            The result of the events that are beginning to be executed on Earth should last more than two to three millenniums, when the physical structure of this small sphere will probably have to be changed again. Through such modifications, which could take place in these final years of the twentieth century, the Superior Forces hope to make this planet much more pleasant for the human beings who will then have the joy of living here.

            New areas for food production should meet the needs of the entire population in the beginning of the next century with the introduction of modifications in the system of nutrition. The spiritual origin of the human organism is undergoing a series of studies in the above, aiming at a certain modification on its metabolism organs, so that some of the nutritional elements which have been considered as essential by human beings thus far can be replaced.

            For example, meat will be replaced by elements which are more suitable to the spiritual elevation of those souls who will come to live here in the near future, who would not conform to the use of meat in their diet at all. Meat will be advantageously replaced by chemical agents extracted from the abundance of vegetables that will be found in all latitudes. They shall be industriously changed into concentrates of great nutritional value.

            Such process is not new; it has been in use already for centuries and millenniums in planets more evolved than Earth, which are inhabited by more advanced spirits. Such a process, which has to be created on Earth, shall be undertaken by entities which are either already here or should be arriving soon. A result from such modification in the nutritional process will be a reduction in the volume of all human bodies, making it then a lot easier for spirits to carry out their tasks.

            The large amount of food required by the excessively voluminous bodies of the present, weighing one hundred to one hundred fifty pounds with many even reaching or surpassing the two hundred mark, prevent their respective conductors from carrying out tasks which require spiritual tranquility. The Superior Forces know that this is so mostly due to the arrival on Earth of souls that in some other planetary climates were used to foods that favored physical development, resulting in the formation of perispirits, or fluid bodies, which corresponded to their physical bodies. Nevertheless, since this is currently being studied in the above, it should result in a fluid reduction of their perispirits as they reincarnate here, thus reducing the heavy material load they will be moving around with.

            You can now have a good idea about the diligent efforts which are taking place in the superior planes of the Earth to improve the conditions of life for its future inhabitants, so that they can enjoy more comfort here with less effort. Lots of work constantly takes place in all spiritual planes to dot the Earth with many of the improvements which exist in older planets. This is so because the spiritual level of the souls who will be brought to Earth would not stand some of the conditions which you accept with a certain sacrifice.

            The present conditions of life have caused a great number of children of all ages to disincarnate, especially among less favored populations. Their delicate physical organs often succumb as a result of the current nutritional process. You cannot even imagine the problem that the premature departure of so many souls within their first six years of life represents in the above. It shows that all of their efforts towards their reincarnation failed. But this shall end through the new measures adopted by spiritual directors, which aim at substantially modifying human beings’ nutritional process beginning in childhood.

            You can now see that the current conditions faced by human beings on this small sphere cause preoccupations to the Superior Forces, esteemed readers. And you should be able to see as well that you too can enjoy better conditions of earthly life if you are duly prepared to reincarnate here with other well evolved souls. Considering that among the inhabitants of different worlds, which are many, there are normally three categories of souls, that is, of great, medium and little evolution, it will be up to each of my esteemed readers to choose the category in which he or she wants to be included upon obtaining the necessary permission to return here.

            The argument that it may be difficult for you to be among souls of great evolution does not belong here. There are no obstacles to prevent anyone who believes and has the will to reach a certain evolutionary degree from attaining his desire. Any man or woman who believes needs only to action their strong will toward their objective for all doors to open and all barriers to disappear. All that human beings having such determination need to do is to attentively inspect their own acts, so that they do not become obstacles. If from now on their acts can be inspired by the sacred principles that I discussed in the previous chapter, my esteemed readers can be certain that their objectives shall soon be achieved. Such determination will also enable them to immediately receive highly effective support from many entities at goodness’ service. Such entities will cooperate with them with their purest vibrations.

Everyone should be familiar with the difficulty that vehicles, machines or motors have in overcoming static. But once static is overcome, it becomes then easy to conduct such vehicles or turn such motors. This concept can also be applied as a means for you to reach the category of greatly evolved spirits still in this incarnation. Strive to overcome static and see how easily you will be able to always proceed with greater success. Begin still today with the determination to reach the greatest evolutionary degree a human being can possibly reach. Every lucky person who will open this book and find interest in it will be showing proof that he is already beyond half way. And if he has already overcome the first half, he clearly had to overcome his own static first. All he has to do now in the few years he still has left on Earth is to proceed with determination to reach his final goal.

            My readers, you know that this is being written to you by a brother of yours who since long ago has been engaged in accelerating your march toward Divine Light, which is our luminosity. When the elevated idea of marching toward such objective comes our way, obstacles become like ghosts disappearing from sight. When he was Paul of Tarsus, this brother who greatly esteems you, always refused to acknowledge the impediments which his adversaries put on his path in order to intimate him. There is an element which, largely diffused by the divine Providence, can annul each and every impediment: “faith”. Armed with faith in the sacred principles of Jesus’ doctrine, I confronted such dangers while carrying out my elevated objectives. You all should know through History that, disturbed by my preaching more due to their rigid ignorance than jeopardized interests, my adversaries once took me for dead as a result of the physical violence to which they subjected me, dumping my body in a dunghill. Even though it had been badly beaten, my body was able to easily recuperate through the force of my spirit and my enormous faith, and in such a way that I was able to move on with my saintly preaching in a little more than twenty-four hours. Had my faith been feeble, I would have either succumbed at the dunghill or have forever abandoned my task, which fortunately did not occur.

            It can be said then that the Superior Forces, who are always attentive to what goes on with the millions of human beings who live and progress here, will invariably flock to any place where there is a mind emitting vibrations to attract any kind of help or rescue. In my case, I received spiritual aid which enabled me to quickly recuperate. The fact that my remains could not be found the next morning caused prostration to my adversaries, who were told that their victim had gotten up and walked away in the middle of the night. The fact that this was soon attributed to a possible miracle of Jesus left them even more humiliated. The power of this doctrine, which could operate such miracles, made a great impression on them; it led them to consider it a true resurrection. Therefore, my friends, it can be concluded that there is a world of progress and happiness before you, within your reach. All you have to do as of now is to trace a plan of action in the sense of conquering such a beautiful world, which is the true objective of your current incarnation. I will wait for you to return so that you can tell me whether or not my presence on Earth at this time, to write these advice and teachings with all my heart, were useful to you.

            I and other entities that have come to Earth with the same objective have already said that the great majority of men and women are spirits already possessing a certain degree of evolution. I want to confirm that since this is really true, only a small individual effort is necessary for each to access the category of superior spirits. Such a category is close at hand, just a few steps away. Well, if that is how it is, I then ask my esteemed readers what is more valuable: to deprive yourselves of some illusory earthly pleasures and prepare to shortly become part of that desired category of superior spirits, or return to space as melancholic losers due to laziness or negligence?

            My guess is that you will choose the first hypothesis because it really is the one that is convenient for your spirit. It could not be another because registrations that are in your conscience tend to propel you beautiful spiritual progress. My presence in these pages is similar that of a tutor which many parents hire to help their children with certain subjects. This is my mission before you, esteemed readers. In due time the Lord Jesus and I will congratulate you for accepting their contents. I hope you will continuously consult them for better spiritual orientation. This is our great desire.

   Chapter XLII

Earth’s objective – Adaptation of the first human beings’ respiratory system – The passing of the centuries – Maturation of current ecological and geological conditions – Where will you go? Three destinations to choose from

            The Earth was formed many millions of years ago as a temporary dwelling place for spirits in need of light and spiritual progress, most of whom possess some degree of evolution acquired through many existences in rather inferior planets. At the end of many incarnations, a selection occurred in such planets to allow the spirits who had managed to improve themselves the most in them to be brought to Earth, which was getting ready to receive human beings on its soil.

            Since the earthly environment had to adapt itself to human life, the transference of such spirits to this sphere presented a problem with a long-term solution. Human spirits were brought here only after all of its ecological conditions became perfectly inhabitable by human organisms, and even so on an experimental basis. In view of the fact that their respiratory system, which they developed in their passages through planets with rougher conditions, needed to adjust to the earthly environment, it required extensive work on the part of specialized entities in the above.

            Let us then say that some centuries passed before the earthly soil presented the necessary conditions to receive a large number of spiritual beings, who deserved to live here after having improved themselves elsewhere. Since there were no laws or individual properties on Earth then, they could live here as they chose. Some highly evolved entities also came to this planet with the multitudes of pioneering souls in order to implement a moral setting in the regions where they appeared, coordinating the first rules to preside over their lives. This surely took a long time to become the majority’s code of life, given that such souls had come from worlds of an inferior category, where the general laws generally followed the power of force in the solution of many of their disputes. This is why the earthly population’s ascension march was very slow. Millions of souls have repeatedly come to Earth and lived here a variable number of times in search of the principles which, fortunately, just some thousands of them were able to attain. For this reason, they became then members of the Superior Forces, entrusted to supervise the Earth’s destiny as delegated by the Lord of the World, who is our loved Jesus.

            Thus, after these millions of years since the Earth first became inhabitable by humankind, a new phase now aims at transforming the planet into a world of a higher category, so that it can receive in its soil new generations of spirits. And as they are already arriving in many of your homes, such generations shall form a new earthly civilization.

             As it usually happens to everything in the universe, there is a phase of maturation before positive actions of all things and beings can be observed. As for the Earth, since a maturation of its ecological and geological conditions can be verified in this century, it will receive profound transformations to its status quo. Due to the need of bringing some millions of souls who wait in the above for their opportunity to reincarnate on this sphere, the Superior Forces have been anticipating this phase already for many centuries.

            The great majority are souls who, having concluded their rough apprenticeship courses in the worlds which they inhabited, earned the incontestable right to continue with their evolutionary trajectory. And since it coincides with the maturation of the ecological conditions of the Earth, the Superior Forces decided that they will start to come here as of now, probably for a period of about two to three millenniums. It is for this reason that certain modifications of the earthly soil are already beginning to be executed, so that it can receive, feed, offer comfort as well as the needed conditions to the new population which could be double the size of the current population.

            My guess is that if you could ask me a question aloud, it would probably be: “Where will those of us who are on Earth go?” To answer it, I will repeat what I wrote before: Divine Wisdom does not take any action without lengthy studies and preparation. The fact that numerous emissaries of the Lord of the World have come to the earthly environment, among whom is the one who is now specking to you, is already a reflection of the wisdom behind the measures being taken in close relation to the personality of each of you.

            Since already mentioned in previous pages, you already know that a selection of the souls who return from Earth is taking place, so as to allow the Superior Forces to determine their individual degree of evolution at the end of their earthly peregrination. Such a selection will reveal the degree of the progress they were able to attain at the end of a regular number of earthly existences, so that the next destination of each of such souls can be determined.

            According to what I am permitted to inform you herewith, such destinations are threefold. One is the faculty conferred to the selected souls to be able to return to Earth in an existence that is much more joyful and happier than the current one, as part of the new civilization of the coming centuries.     

            Another destination, which is also facultative, is for these souls to join a plane of spiritual life which is being prepared to receive new spiritual inhabitants, given that their current inhabitants deserved a promotion to more elevated planes of life. Therefore, those of you who feel weary of the materialistic environment of this earthly world, and wish to rest on a plane of spiritual life where happiness and wellbeing are a constant, shall be conducted or promoted to such planes for a long while.

            The third destination involves souls who show a hardening of their evolutionary state. Unfortunately, they comprise a number which is much larger than expected. Due to the vibrational condition in which these human beings kept themselves despite the advice and teachings that have been diffused on Earth century after century, they will not be able to reincarnate on Earth or inhabit the more advanced planes. And although this is very constraining to the magnanimous heart of the Lord of the World, the destination of this category of souls is a planet whose vibrations harmonize with their own. And due to the knowledge they acquired on Earth, they will possibly try to become leaders and guides of the inhabitants of such a planet. With the passing of the centuries, the spiritual progress attained by these souls through work performed on their new habitat could be such that they could receive the grace of returning to the Earth, if their conditions permit.

            This rather succinct exposition should clarify the destinations to be followed by everyone who is currently on Earth, many of whom are perhaps completely tranquil for being unconcerned about their own destination. The presence of this friend in your midst, who is now speaking to you, and the various other emissaries of the Lord Jesus, represents his effort towards alerting human beings, quite in advance, about the future that awaits them. Thus, the elements necessary to each one’s clarification are provided through such means, which not only concern the events in perspective, but also to their probable conduction to the above when such events turn positive.

            I wish one fact could remain clear in the minds of each of my readers: what men and women will witness when the time comes for them to close the eyes of the body, say farewell to it and return to the spiritual world. It is quite correct that the number of those who are willing to think about such a moment is rather small. Given that it is unpleasant for them even to remember that they will have to depart to the spiritual world someday, they try to keep this reality away from their minds instead of preparing for it.

            The result that we observe is a lack of acceptance of the death of the body by a high number of brothers and sisters, who in the above engage in lamentation for a long time, in a state of disconsolation that has no remedy. When this does not happen as a result of the fact that they were unable to soar towards the above, we witness a multitude of souls staying indefinitely in the environment that they used to live. For being unable to reach planes of consolation and rest, they remain here in a state of lamentable abandonment.

            Due to the fact that these brothers and sisters are careless about their spiritual elevation while in the body, many caravans consisting of entities with the benevolent mission of picking them up in the earthly soil descend here to conduct them to the closest plane, where they can rest from their earthly tiredness until the Lord’s mercy gives them a destination. The spectacle they represent at the end of many years of permanence in the body, during which they only cared about material concerns, is rather saddening, as I said. Such spirits appear so ignorant of spiritual life that they can be compared to children in earthly life.

            It cannot be said that this happens only to spirits who lived an inferior existence, in areas far from civilized environments. The truth is that there are many among the souls who lived such a life who are rather evolved and up-to-date on spiritual problems. On the other hand, many of those who succeeded at building a solid earthly fortune, caring for it as if it could represent eternal happiness, are ignorant of everything they should know about spiritual life, and to such a degree as to cause pity.

            It will never be too much to repeat on these lines what has been said to all human beings’ spiritual ears during sleeping hours, which is to make conquest of spiritual light their first objective on Earth, give that everything else is secondary. As I just said, such advice has been ministered to the ears of all men and women during their sleep time in the spiritual plane, in an attempt on the part of the Superior Forces to help responsible incarnate beings to engage in the acquisition of their true objective in the course of this decisive incarnation: spiritual light. In closing this chapter, esteemed readers, I leave my sincere wishes for all of you to be able to reach it.

Arrival of souls in the beyond – Admission of some souls into relief organizations – Earth’s inhabitants in the next century – Conscience examination – The Law of Consequence and the upsetting physical abnormalities

            For my esteemed readers’ edification and a greater clarification of their spirits, I shall address an issue on this chapter which has been very little divulged in the earthly environment thus far. Such an issue, involving the personal situation of those who arrive in the beyond after leaving their material vehicles on Earth, is of great value towards the spiritual development of the men and women who become familiar with it. In truth, it constitutes a teaching of greatest interest to all, since it affects everyone’s arrival to the spiritual planes to which they will be conducted.

            There exist various organizations in the above which could be called “model organizations,” destined to provide spiritual assistance especially to souls who return from Earth, most of whom need a more or less prolonged spiritual assistance. Such assistance varies according to each one’s peculiar situation after living tens of years in the earthly environment, completely removed from their respective planes left in the beyond.

            Due to this, the great majority of recently disincarnated souls need some time to integrate themselves in the spiritual environment; they need to awaken the spiritual aptitudes and faculties which usually become dulled as a result of their long permanence on Earth. Thus, it is easy to know what happens to the millions of souls who arrive in the spiritual planes in the twenty-four hours of the day, according to the way you measure time, after disincarnating throughout the surface of the planet, all of whom are deeply saddened by such a fact. Instead of all souls, I should say most of them in view of the fact that there is a small number who is always very happy to return; all they want is to adapt to the conditions of life in the beyond as soon as possible.

            Usually, these are souls who fulfilled a long existence in the body. Due to the uselessness of their permanence on Earth, given that they have to be cared for by their relatives, many of them wish that the divine Providence would take them away. As they become perfectly conscious of their uselessness, these souls devote themselves to prayer and meditation day and night, coming then closer to the spiritual world and losing all of their interest in earthly life. These are the souls who feel happy when they are received in their plane of spiritual life. It is quite common for them to thank God upon feeling really disconnected from the tired and useless body they left on Earth.

            There is another class of souls who also feel joyful and happy upon their arrival in the spiritual world: those who kept a permanent link with their spiritual plane, which they frequently visited during the sleep hours of the body. We promptly identify such souls by their radiation, which is a sign that they took advantage of their recently-ended incarnation through meritorious actions for the benefit of the community. They are souls (spirits) who fulfilled well the promise that they made to the Lord prior to their departure to the Earth, reason why they return to their spiritual home satisfied and happy for a new period of rest satisfied, during which they prepare to fulfill some new mission to the Lord.

            These clarifications are of the greatest interest to all men and women on Earth in view of the orientation they provide concerning the reception which in due time awaits them in the spiritual world. Thus, I will now add what happens to the numerous souls who arrive in the beyond deeply saddened. Having lived their earthly existence turned to the interests and pleasures of matter, they end their incarnation without being able to bring in their spiritual baggage anything good and useful for themselves.

            There are cases in which their sadness is so deep that they need to be admitted into one of the assistance organizations in the beyond to morally recover, that is, until they are able to reacquire consciousness of themselves. There is adequate treatment in such organizations in space for all kinds of infirmities. Although my talk about infirmities in the spiritual plane may appear incredible to some of my readers, I will explain that what we call infirmities in the above is the conviction on the part of many souls who, being infirm in their psychic state, require adequate treatment. Once they are admitted to the organization I just mentioned, they remain there the time necessary for their recuperation.

            Such infirm souls find in such organizations a clinical body of true scientists, who patiently attend to their needs and even medicate them whenever necessary. They also have a body of nurses made up of entities who dedicate themselves lovingly to their patients and to such a degree that it speeds up their recuperation. As soon as they feel better and wish to leave the infirmary, they are taken to the immense park that surrounds the buildings of such hospitalizing organizations, where they contemplate the beautiful gardens, lakes and orchards in wonder.

            The dedicated treatment and the type of nutrition provided by such organizations contribute to their quick recuperation. As a rule, strolling in the vicinities and contemplating the marvels help complete their recovery. When the time comes to say goodbye to their dedicated doctors and nurses, they do not find words to express their profound gratefulness. And since numerous of such recuperated souls will then show a great desire to cooperate with such organizations through their dedicated work, some having such an ability end up achieving it.

            You can see by the above how much the Lord of the World is concerned about the wellbeing and happiness of his earthly protégées, not only when they are on Earth totally exercising their freewill, but also after they return to the spiritual world less healthier and happier than when they left it for the Earth. This frequently happens to not just a few of our incarnate brothers and sisters who, giving themselves with soul and body to earthly life’s irregularities, end up getting disturbed or psychically infirm. And it is while they are in such a situation that they bid farewell to their bodies and return to space.

            The souls of these brothers or sisters, who followed tortuous paths or conducted themselves in a way contrary to the divine laws, are received in the above and conducted to the existing organizations in order to recuperate. If the way of life of the majority of the human beings were different, with greater devotion to prayer and meditation, their contact with the Superior Forces and the Lord of the World would certainly be closer. The life of all human beings on Earth would consequently unfold in a happier and more tranquil way.

            But due to what is now being executed on this small sphere, everything regarding human life will change. With the coming of other spiritual classes, which are much more evolved than the classes of the current occupants of the planet, the moral infractions committed by men and women will cease completely or be reduced to a minimum, as it is licit to expect. Due to their degree of spiritual development, the inhabitants of the Earth in the next century will always feel the need to maintain themselves in permanent link with their respective spiritual plane, so as to be able to receive the daily inspiration and assistance that they might need.

            Going back to the initial issue, esteemed readers, from which I deviated a little in order to refer to details of the organizations of spiritual treatment, I wish to continue with the clarification about what all of you will find upon your return from the Earth. As a matter of fact, I will mention a fact which takes place in the spiritual world on a daily basis and is of the greatest importance to you. It is the so-called conscience examination, which consists of self-judging acts practiced during one’s last earthly existence.

            It is a kind of mandatory obligation which all souls undertake upon their arrival in the above, not as a punishment as some people might think, but due to each soul’s need to record on its spiritual file every good and useful thing it did for its spiritual progress on Earth, as well as every negative thing. Such a registration is also necessary as far as its next incarnation is concerned. The registration made in each soul’s spiritual file is what will influence the elaboration of a new plan of earthly life, which is of the greatest importance to the soul.

            For instance, if only good, dignifying and correct acts resulting from a soul’s last earthly existence are registered, it is certain that this soul will enjoy a corresponding existence in its next reincarnation, filled by rather happy and proper events for its wellbeing. If a soul had the opportunity of sincerely helping another soul during its last earthly sojourn, if in some way it contributed to lessening the suffering of its fellow creature, such a registered fact in its spiritual files shall then determine that it receives the help and cooperation that it might need. This is but a perfect demonstration of the law that you already know, which determines that “he who helps shall be helped; he who deceives shall be deceived; he who kills shall be killed,” and so on. Such a law invariably returns in a future life the good or the bad which a human being offered his fellow creature.

              In this way, the spiritual registrations of each spiritual being, which contain the most perfect clarity and reality, besides recording the exact curriculum of each soul century after century, are invariably examined by the Superior Forces in the elaboration of a new plan of life, which is to be fulfilled on Earth by all souls receiving permission to reincarnate. It is due to this principle that you can find among your contemporaries brothers and sisters who, using biblical terms, carry a heavy cross. And in view of the correct behavior of which they give proof, they deserve your greatest esteem. The explanation for this fact can be found on the above lines. Therefore, such brothers and sisters are fulfilling with courage the plan of life that was presented to them in the above, which they joyfully accepted for the current incarnation. And at the end of it, a new bigger and shinier light will be installed into their diadem in the above.

            The Law of Consequence, wise and perfect just like all other divine laws, is one of the most significant laws in the lives of men and women not only of this small earthly world, but also in all worlds of the universe. It is the law of Consequence that determines the existence of persons among you with physical abnormalities which are upsetting to you. Also, it determines the existence of a good number of valorous and good brothers and sisters who are deprived from light in the eyes. I refer to them as valorous because they really are for having requested or accepted such deprivation in the present incarnation and also for the moral elevation which they abundantly demonstrate.

            They know and clearly remember in their spiritual memory that an incarnation passes quickly, regardless of how long it may last, and that an existence in the flesh does not represent even a second in spiritual life’s eternity. Thus, if the Superior Forces deemed necessary to propose to such esteemed brothers and sisters an incarnation without light in their material eyes, which they willingly accepted, they were certainly shown in advance all the advantages that such an incarnation could provide them with.

            In the above, we have the satisfaction of having the friendship of innumerous entities that, having lived one incarnation or another without light in the eyes, now display immense points of spiritual light in their diadems. While exchanging impressions with a radiant entity about the impressions we picked up during many reincarnations, who had lived in such a circumstance, I heard from such entity that it had been one of the most useful incarnations. Such an entity indicated that the earthly existence as blind provided him with the opportunity of living with his spirit constantly in the above. As he mentally heard and received beautiful harmonies peculiar to the spiritual world, he became touched by them in such a way as to live the most beautiful and sweet spiritual life that a human being can possibly live with his feet on Earth.

   Chapter XLIV

Modifications called for since long ago – Time can no longer wait – The purpose of the hands – Material fortune belongs to Earth – The snow mound – Souls depart with empty hands from the Earth – A message from the Creator

            The events that are about to occur on Earth, which will prolong throughout this end of century, are not meant to scare the inhabitants of this small earthly world. As you already know, they are destined to arrange the earthly surface so that it can comfortably lodge the great number of souls which already started to arrive here. These souls will form the new civilization which has been annunciated since long ago. Thus, if a greater than usual number of disincarnations take place as a consequence of such events, all affected souls will soon find out that it happened for their happiness and not suffering.         

            The modifications in process of execution were called for since long ago by this small globe, and although planned some centuries in advance, only now they have been liberated by the Superior Forces. It has already been truthfully said that they were being already planned during the time the Lord Jesus came to the earthly soil in human body. However, since human mentality was so hardened in those times, such an enormous undertaking had to be postponed to a better opportunity.

            The Superior Forces decided then to send numerous emissaries to Earth in order to revolve such a mental hardening by way of the word, and much has been done in this sense with relative success. However, the decisive moment has now arrived, given that time can no longer wait; the transformation of the Earth into a spiritualized planet is closely related to the progress of similar planes of life. Thus, there is no reason for the current inhabitants of this small world to become apprehensive, mainly because earthly life is temporary for all of them; their current existence is just another among the dozens and dozens of existences they already lived here.

            Therefore, the fact that a greater number of disincarnations may occur due to some telluric phenomenon does not mean anything except fulfillment of a law to which we all are subjected. And since it is known that all preparations are being made by the Superior Forces to lovingly receive and accommodate the souls who will disincarnate in such circumstances, this should provide the inhabitants of all earthly regions or latitudes with the greatest tranquility.

            You may perhaps think, in the intimacy of your being, that it would be a pity to see it happen to those who strove so much to gather goods and valuables in the course of their current existence, given that they could be suddenly removed from their environment and return to space with their hands completely empty. I will answer my esteemed readers who think in such a way that all souls routinely return to space with empty hands, after fulfilling their earthly peregrination.

            The hands conceded to human beings by the divine Providence since the beginning of creation have the most elevated purpose in earthly life: to be used as instruments of work in the sustenance of the body. This is one of the high purposes of the hands, as important parts of the body which they are. These two superior members of the body also have another purpose, which is to join together in prayer at the end of a workday, allowing the soul to communicate with the Creator so as to thank him for the blessings they received on that day.

            The many other purposes of the hands relate to the recreation of souls, in the many different modalities which please them the most and which totally belong to earthly life. I am not talking about the bad use which unfortunately many human beings still make of their hands, which could result in their having to endure the absence of these two important members in a future existence or face lamentable suffering.

            Empty, however, is the way in which all hands return to the spiritual world, since they cannot bring any elements from the Earth. The more or less voluminous fortune a man acquires in his earthly life belongs and remains entirely in the world in which it was acquired. I would compare the material fortune human beings accumulate through more or less arduous work and some privations to snow mounds which children excitedly like to build. Despite of how tall or beautiful such a pile of snow is, its duration is short, since it can be quickly dissolved by sun heat. This is similar to fortunes accumulated on Earth by man, with the difference that the sun in this case is their departure back to the spiritual world.

            Fortunes left on Earth almost always end up getting dissolved, as they form small snow mounds which are subjected to more or less intense sun rays. Therefore, it is now absolutely clear that all human beings depart from Earth with empty hands, regardless of the social position in which they managed to live.

            The fortune everyone not only can but should carry when they bid farewell to the earthly environment and travel toward their spiritual plane of life totally fits in their hearts, esteemed readers, no matter how huge they are. The fortune desired by everyone in the above who strove to obtain a new incarnation on Earth should be the sum of all good acts they were able to perform in the course of their existence as man or woman. It will present itself in the above in the form of a most beautiful point of light for their spirits.

            This is the only fortune on Earth which definitely integrates in each one’s spiritual personality, and no human or astrological power can ever disintegrate it. The Lord himself will be present to receive the many souls who arrive to their spiritual plane illumined by such light, which they conquered through meritorious actions and assistance to fellow creatures on Earth, and grant them the beautiful reward which they deserve. Thus, it is clear now that man’s major preoccupation should not consist of having their hands full of gold and perishable earthly goods, but of the eternal goods that they are able to acquire in each of their passages on Earth.

            I will now refer to a fact I consider of interest to your spiritual development which, taking place many years ago on Earth, had a great repercussion. It involved introducing a new element into the earthly environment, which was entirely unknown to the inhabitants of such a time. The objective was to make this new and important element a part of their nutritious process. But for communication to be attained with human beings, it was necessary for someone to serve as intermediary between them and the Superior Forces, so that the usage and utility of such element could be explained to them in the best possible way.

            Although the fact that mediumistic instruments were very rare in such a time presented difficulties to the Superior Forces engaged in such an endeavor, the definitive idea to solve it appeared after various frustrating attempts. This idea involved a way to enable them to utilize a cereal which was rather rich in proteins and abundantly available in the region, which only the animals took advantage of in their roaming of the region.

            Efforts on the part of the Superior Forces succeeded in getting a young person to conveniently serve as intermediary. Considered as the most adequate instrument in view of his mediumistic principle, this young person began to be visited every night by some entities of the spiritual world, who talked with him about their objective in order to prepare his spirit. The time chosen for this to occur was during their annual gathering, in which the population thanked the Creator for their harvests. Filled with a lot of joy, fine foods and liquors, they normally showed their profound gratefulness to the Creator in such gatherings. However, since their harvests had been too deficient on that particular year, the absence of their usual joy reflected such a fact. Thus, their objective now was to plead with the Creator for more abundance in the coming year than to thank for what they had harvested on the year that passed.

            After everyone had done a lot of talking, eating and drinking, the young person suddenly called their attention to himself as he stood on a small elevation in the soil. Clearly addressing those present in the festivity, he informed them that he had a message from the Creator, which was of the greatest interest to them. But due to the fact that he belonged to a humble family, and lacked the schooling that could give him some authority, his words caused surprise to everyone. Then, as they became attentive, he began his short discourse as follows:

            “My brothers and sisters, I have a very important message to relay to all of you, which is being dictated to my ears. Therefore, listen very carefully. The Creator is telling me that there is a plant in your lands which could supply you with this year’s shortfall and which you should try to harvest at once due to its abundance and utility.”

            When he revealed the plant’s name, their surprise increased in view of the fact that it had come from a humble person. The mentioned plant really existed in abundance in the entire region, but it had not been considered of utility for human beings. Surrounding him, they now wanted to know how he received the message which he had just divulged. He revealed in his simplicity that he had been inspired by someone. Despite everyone’s surprise, as it can be easily imagined, the multitude considered it a divine revelation and proceeded to examine the mentioned cereal, which was in its ripening phase.

            The result was the enrichment of the nutritious process of the region with the addition of this new cereal, which had been used just as winter forage for cattle. Having spread to various countries, it is today a valuable part of human nutrition. Imagining the curiosity of my esteemed readers about the name of such a cereal, I will satisfy it by saying that you know it under the name “barley”. It then began to be tenderly treated by the respective inhabitants and planted it in the more favorable areas. As production increased, this beautiful product of the earth is today appreciated in the entire world.

            Similar discoveries, which are destined to enrich the nutritious elements of human beings, will appear in the new century; they will be brought from the above for implantation in the earthly soil. I can say that one of such elements will be able to sustain the human organism to such a degree as to make the use of meat totally dispensable. And although this and some other elements are being implanted in the earthly soil in an experimental way, the Superior Forces are rather satisfied with the results obtained thus far. As for other similar existing elements which are still unknown to man, they are being indicated to your researchers. In this way, they can test them in their laboratories and find good amounts of protein, mineral salt and iron, which are so needed by the human organism. Such elements are found especially in areas where the soil is rich in humidity, which is from where they take the enormous amount of substances to be offered to human beings in the next century.

            These are some of the informational elements I wanted to share with you, esteemed readers, in anticipation of the great changes which shall occur in the nutritious field, for our brothers and sisters who will very shortly inhabit the Earth. The great majority of my readers, if not the totality, could be found among them, if they so desire. Let us think a little about it. I said that the majority of my readers could be among the inhabitants of the Earth in the next century. Why not every one of them? You certainly know that you will have to be somewhere in the universe at the end of this incarnation. If you have already gotten used to earthly living during the tens of years that you are here, and know that the Earth will become an ideal world to live as a result of the forthcoming modifications, why not start making efforts to deserve the necessary permission from Jesus to return here in the next century, following the necessary phase of rest in the above?

            By remaining in the above, you will maintain only the spiritual treasure comprising the lights and blessings that you were able to bring from the Earth, and given that it may not correspond to your desire of continuous progress, the best thing then would be for you to return to Earth under more propitious conditions. But this problem is entirely yours, my beloved. If you wish to return to this plane to continue with your spiritual development, you can successfully do so. You can start right now by attentively examining everything that is convenient to you and by behaving accordingly, with the certainty that much can be accomplished.

            This is one of the objectives of Jesus’ emissaries on service in the earthly environment. Our Lord would feel quite pleased if he could count upon the great majority of the current inhabitants of the Earth to form the civilization of the third millennium. Therefore, all of you who have had the happiness of coming in contact with this brother who is now speaking to you should get prepared, whom you can count upon to facilitate your spiritual task. Readjust yourselves in your spiritual personalities; eliminate everything from your current baggage which cannot contribute to the attainment of your goal and you will see how a new feeling of joy and happiness will involve you

            In this way, you will then powerfully contribute to becoming the Lord’s precious elements in the formation of the new civilization on Earth, considering that you have the necessary conditions for such. As for myself, I shall make all efforts possible for all of my readers to have the conditions to participate in the civilization that is coming up, without exceptions. And I will probably be in your midst.

                                                               Chapter XLV

Awakening to things of the beyond – You may have to travel at any moment – The source of all goodness – Ways to serve the Lord – You shall be able to operate real miracles as you build a powerful point of light in the above

            The fact that the Lord has determined that men and women of this century be awakened to things of the beyond, which is everything that relates to spiritual life, should be a reason of joy for them. The men and women who live carefree existences in the earthly soil could, at any moment, be conducted to the spiritual plane totally unaware of the events taking place around them. Consequently, they could remain there in such a state of unconsciousness for years and years, without any knowledge of the Earth’s transformational process.

            And since this would certainly mean a longer or shorter period of suffering in the spiritual world for the souls of the brothers and sisters snatched by the events, the Lord Jesus wants to prevent it from occurring by divulging the Great Crusade of Elucidation on Earth. As a real part of the current civilization that they are, the Lord wants all inhabitants living on Earth in this historic moment to be completely aware of it.

            Given the fact that all men and women of this century are being informed about the ongoing operations to transform this small planet into a spiritualized world, these brothers and sisters should start to cooperate with such transformations through thought, so that they can occur with minimum disturbance to all. According to warnings they have been receiving, human beings should not only practice the advice received in the sense of keeping a mental link with the Superior Forces by way of daily prayers, but also try to help clarify and prepare their friends and acquaintances as much as possible. The main thing is for all current inhabitants to become aware of the necessary modifications which have been planned for the Earth, so as to be duly prepared for the journey that could begin at any moment towards their plane of light in the above.

            The clarification being diffused by numerous emissaries of the Lord Jesus on Earth does not consist of affirming that the bulk of the earthly population will be removed from this plane of life. Absolutely, not esteemed readers; even if the number were to be rather small, such a clarification still needs to be directed to the majority, if not the entire population, given that only advantages can come from this. Even those who were informed and prepared, but who were not called because their time had not come, will greatly benefit from it. When their turn to depart comes at the end of their current existence, they will depart in possession of certain knowledge which will be of great help to them in their plane of life in the beyond. So, we should consider this beautiful Crusade, which the Lord determined to unfold on Earth through the Superior Forces, as greatly beneficial to all men and women in this end of century.

            The current generation, especially the part of it that was born in the beginning of this century, and all those who arrived here in the last twelve years of the previous century, all had the opportunity to witness certain events which resulted in the departure of a rather large number of souls from Earth. As the remnants of all ages had the opportunity of engraving such painful facts in their physical memories, their spirits also registered them as still another teaching acquired in their current incarnation.

            Thus, after the conflicts registered on this century, the Superior Forces expected a sensitive change to take place in all human beings’ innermost in the sense of awakening them towards the real objectives of earthly life, making them turn with more or less fervor to the source of all goodness, which is our Lord Jesus. If such an attitude had been adopted, which was anxiously expected by the Superior Forces and the Divine Master himself, the Great Crusade of Elucidation would not have been necessary; all incarnate souls would have been perfectly clarified.

            But since the result did not correspond to the expectations from the above, the current Crusade became necessary as a final providence before all human creatures of the present. Men and women should forget the prison of material interests in which they are incarcerated, during some daily moments, soaring in thought to the Lord Jesus’ feet to tell him that they ready for his call and duly prepared to receive and fulfill any of his determinations. This should by done by everyone who consider themselves in conditions to fulfill the Lord’s determinations with goodwill, which means, who are prepared to serve the Lord and ready to join the divine service.

            Would there perchance be any reason for uneasiness about this, my readers and friends? I sincerely believe not. In view of the fact that human life is so fragile, regardless of how solid and resistant it may appear to be, no one can establish the length of his permanence on the earthly soil in order to enjoy everything he or she may have conquered in the course of their current living. Therefore, if that is the way it is, if there is a precise time corresponding to each one’s departure from this plane of life, it would be better then for everyone to make themselves completely dependent on the Lord’s determinations with the greatest sincerity possible.

            I will still add to this that a means for human beings to be able to prolong to a maximum their permanence here is certainly to inscribe themselves as the Lord’s servants on Earth, given his proclaimed need for servants with goodwill from the midst of his earthly protégées. And since this is such an easy task, I believe that the knowledge of what I have just exposed is enough to provide the Lord with an appreciable number of incarnate servants in a short period of time.

            As a suitable clarification, I will mention some of the countless tasks which everyone can perform while on the Earth, all of which are rather pleasant. For example, the son or daughter who adopts the habit of daily prayer to the Lord, and who is ready to serve him on Earth, automatically receives the necessary authorization. Many opportunities to serve the Lord will come their way daily. A sensible advice given to an agitated, disoriented or afflictive person, after the elevation of one’s thought to the Lord, is an excellent way to serve the Divine Master.

            A vibration of tranquility and peace directed to a needy brother or sister is equally a service rendered to the Lord. A heart-felt prayer, uttered at any moment of day or night for the benefit of a suffering person, attracts entities capable of ministering the adequate treatment to such a person. This should apply, for example, to cases of accidents in public places, preceding the arrival of a different type of aid. The human being with the habit of daily contact with the Superior Forces is in conditions of operating, in their name, a series of beneficial acts for his or her fellow creatures, with true sincerity and love. The result of this is a relative growth of his spiritual light.

            Everyone can operate in such a way with full support from the Superior Forces, or the Divine Master himself. Since opportunities for such a procedure often appear in the daily lives of all men and women, there is much they can do for their companions of journey. It is common for incarnate brothers and sisters to witness, almost on a daily basis, a bunch of people gathered around someone lying somewhere due to an accident or other motives. The duty of a Jesus’ servant is to elevate a silent prayer to the Lord in favor of whoever is involved in it, which is a way to truly contribute with assistance. And although they are not aware of it, the brothers and sisters who are there due to mere curiosity will also be contributing to the patient’s recovery with their magnetic fluids.

            Attracted to the scene by the prayers of Jesus’ servants, entities from the superior plane immediately form a vibrational current around the curious people present, means through which they often succeed at improving the patient’s condition. However, when it cannot occur due to fractures or other serious reasons, the treatment that was ministered will greatly contribute to saving the victim’s life. Aware now of this process of serving your fellow creatures in various opportunities, apply it whenever possible as good servants you wish to become, certain that you will be doing it in Jesus’ name.

            Continuing with the idea of serving, you will have the chance to receive so many intuitions from the spiritual world that I can assure you that you will be able to operate true miracles. Miracle is the term usually applied to certain cures which are impossible to obtain by way of common treatments. Such cases, which are really innumerous, result from the perfect vibrational uniformity that is established between an incarnate being and the Superior Forces. Thus, whenever an incarnate brother maintains a perfect contact with Lord with sincerity, and has the ardent desire to serve him on Earth, his vibrations harmonize with the Superior Forces’ vibrations in such a way that this brother can then operate real cures, those which the public designate as miracles.

            This phenomenon can be explained in the following manner: let us take someone whose vibrational disharmony prevents him from either moving naturally or overcoming a certain pathological state. As wise and perfect the application of medicine can be in certain cases, it is still not capable of reestablishing the patient’s vibrational balance. The result of a deep vibrational disharmony is that the organism is no longer able to assimilate the indicated treatment. In such cases, it could likely occur that a human who is in perfect harmony with the Superior Forces, who uses the potential of his willpower, will supplicate such forces for their powerful vibrations in favor of the patient’s recovery. Then, after such a request is made with the absolute conviction that he can count on the spiritual plane’s support, the incarnate operator would lightly touch the patient’s organism, or preferably hold his left hand with his right, so as to transmit by such means the powerful vibrational current that became available.

            As you can now see, there is no miracle occurring on this type of treatment, which has been successful in thousands and thousands of cases since long ago. The Lord used such a process some times and the cures followed. Other incarnate beings also performed them, including this brother who is speaking to you through these pages. The necessary element is for the intermediary to proceed with faith, that is, with the absolute certainty common to all those who are convinced of applying a divine law which absolutely does not fail, because it cannot fail. The above exposition, esteemed readers, is not enough to fully cover such a vast topic.

            Therefore, I wish that you recognize that daily contact with the Divine Master, either directly or through the Superior Forces, provides everyone with an immense variety of ideas and processes that can cure fellow creatures. We could say that they are as numerous as the types of illnesses or occurrences. If this pleases you, and makes you wish to join the hosts of servants of the Lord on Earth, all you need to do then is to implant such a desire in your heart and get ready for the first opportunity.

            The opportunity of your being useful to your fellow creatures, which appears at all moments, is so beautiful, pleasant and happy that I can assure you that you will be building an enormous point of light in the above through such means, which you shall receive upon your cheery return to your spiritual plane. Begin then at once; inscribe yourselves still today among the dedicated servants of Jesus on Earth and the Lord shall concede to you the necessary powers for you to serve him.

 Chapter XLVI

Need for many human beings to alter their current direction – Men and women should remember that they are incarnate souls – A lesson from experience – How to preserve youth – A still little-divulged scientific teaching

            If it were possible to penetrate the inmost of all human beings currently on Earth, and sincerely tell them that most of them need to alter the direction which they have been following in their existence, I would do it for the immense joy of seeing these incarnate brothers and sisters perceive reality. It is quite true that men and women should contribute to the betterment of the existing conditions with each of their passages here, so that they can leave this world in a better shape for their successors. However, such a duty does not require a complete absorption in interests of material life.

            Before and above all, all men and women should keep alive in their memories the fact that they are incarnate souls, spirits of God in missions of moral improvement on this small physical world, which requires that they think and act around the objective they brought from the above for the current incarnation. As everyone already knows quite well, this objective is the acquisition of new lights for their spiritual diadem. Although such a diadem may seem a mere rhetorical figure to you, so as to justify the argument that everyone needs to perform good acts in order to obtain lights and blessings for their spirit, I must tell you that, as far as all souls who are on peregrination on Earth are concerned, the spiritual figure of a diadem really exists in the above.

            Therefore, in accordance with the soul’s conduct on the earthly plane during the tens of years of its permanence there, its spiritual diadem could be enriched by the lights deriving from good activities and behavior, or the already acquired lights could become covered by a type of fog deriving from bad deeds, which would sadden us all. What happens to a soul’s spiritual diadem is similar to what happens to your illumination system when the current coming from the generator weakens. Although the light bulbs remain lit, their luminous projection is so weak that you can look at them without getting the least amount of reflection. The same thing happens in the above to the diadems of souls who either deviate from the right path on Earth, or just do not do anything in order to reinforce and amplify their luminosity.

            I stretched this subject a little in order to further clarify what you already know about reflection from souls’ actions on Earth, regardless if they are in favor or against their spiritual progress. I will repeat then my initial words, that if possible, I would penetrate all hearts in order for all human beings to always follow the right path and practice good deeds. But I am not allowed to do this, and neither is the Lord Jesus. Due to the fact that the use of free-will has been conceded to men and women, it is necessary that they conduct themselves in the way they think is the best, and that they even err from time to time in order to feel the consequences of their errors.

            Accepted in all planes of the universe, including your small world, is the principle that lessons can be assimilated a lot easier through acquired experiences than through simple explanations, which constitutes an authentic truth. A well-known case comes to mind, in which the mother tells the child not to touch the burning coal in order to avoid getting burned. However, in his infantile curiosity, the child does not resist the temptation of experimenting contact with such a beautiful burning thing, touching it as soon as the mother turns her back. The child’s scream, as a result of the small burn, is an experience that is valuable for a life-time; the child felt that fire can really burn. Such a conviction then becomes impregnated in all of the child’s cells.

            Therefore, experience is our greatest teacher in spiritual life. However, the difference between a child who burns a finger and an adult who commits a fault or infraction against divine laws is that the adult cannot always make corrections in the same earthly existence. There are cases in which such faults are transported to the soul’s plane, and they can only be corrected in a future existence. As an example, I will refer to a human being who interrupts the existence of another, for whatever reason, in opposition to the divine principle that says: “you shall not kill.”

            Even if such an unhappy human being is punished by human laws, thus becoming deprived of his freedom, he will have to suffer a similar infraction on his next incarnation. After such a soul leaves its mortal remains behind, which it used on Earth, it will hardly be able to find any peace, no matter where it may go. The act committed against a fellow creature becomes engraved in its fluid body in such a way to be visible to all souls of its plane, fact which is rather sad for the faulty soul.

            There are still other consequences deriving from such acts. For example, if due to merit, dedication or acquired experiences, the whole of souls of a certain plane gets promoted to a higher level of spiritual life, those displaying stains for interrupting the life of other souls on Earth are excluded. This could take place more than once in the above; due to the fact that their ascension to other planes of spiritual life is postponed, many of such unhappy souls decisively decide to return to Earth determined to become victims of the same act themselves. This is where the saying: “not all souls are innocent” originates from. It is possible though, that they are innocent on this existence, but since life is but one continuous life involving past and future millenniums, we have to accept that until today the only innocent victim has been the Lord Jesus, as he tried to conduct humanity through paths leading to God.

            Therefore, we should sincerely lament witnessing or hearing of sacrifice of life by any of our earthly brothers, since it would reflect a new infraction to divine laws. But we should lament the criminal much more than the victim, considering that the criminal just acquired a new karma to be ransomed right here, whenever it is determined by the divine Providence. As for the victim, we could say that such an act allowed him to recuperate from a past fault. We should then pray for the victim to be able to recover the precious time lost in acts in which he was either the victimizer or the victim.

            I now would like to minister a teaching which, although still not much divulged, it is of the greatest interest not only to all readers but perhaps all human beings. It refers to the manner in which men and women should proceed at a certain point in their lives, and during their young years as well, since it would be much better for everyone. It is common for middle-aged and older men and women everywhere to be found striving to become younger in their physical appearance, due to the displeasure of finding themselves less good looking than before. As soon as they notice the first wrinkles on their faces and hands, they recognize with true sadness that they are heading towards old age.

            I will teach you how everyone can conserve the youth of their bodies and consequently their beautiful physical appearance. In fact, such a process has been adopted by the worlds more advanced than the Earth, where living beings conserve their bodies young and beautiful during their entire lives. I will begin by saying that nothing contributes to the wearing out of matter as much as contrariety and thought. Originating from upset interests or unpleasant facts, contrariety provokes a true glandular disturbance which temporarily alters all organic functions, thus causing great suffering to the entire metabolism process. And since contrariety also produces cellular residues which need to be eliminated through the skin, it causes a disaggregating effect on parts of the skin that are exposed to air.

            Persons who get upset easily begin to loose the nice appearance of their twenties, which they otherwise would be able to conserve for various decades. A great recipe for avoiding contrariety, which comes from a great entity, is for all persons not to allow themselves to be dominated by contrariety when it first presents itself. Thus, according to this entity, the best way to avoid it is to leave it for the next day. If on the next day they decide that it is worthwhile to get upset over it, then they should go ahead and do it. However, no incarnate human being who has adopted this process or recipe has ever gotten upset up to the present time. In this way, the liver is able to work perfectly until their eighties or beyond, together with the other organs, specially the heart. Thus, if all internal organs functioned as well as when they were in their twenties, it is clear then that one’s appearance would have to remain the same.

            And although the above refers to material behavior in relation to the organism, there is a very important detail for health conservation and skin youth, and that is the intestinal movement. It is from such a correct, precise and regular movement every twenty-four hours of the day that the always beautiful and attractive aspect of the skin derives from, during all ages. In the same way that human beings need to nourish themselves every day as nature’s imperative, the need for daily intestinal elimination is also imperative for the maintenance of one’s health and longevity. This should be observed with utmost compliance for well-known reasons, which not need to be mentioned.

            I will next refer to the actions of thought in the conservation of health, youth and even beauty of the human body. You already know that thought is a human being’s element of external link; it is through thought that human beings communicate with the invisible world as intimately and perfectly as they are capable of using it on a daily basis. Given that it is by way of thought that men and women are able to attract many beautiful things from the invisible world for their material and moral wellbeing, all of us wish that they learn to utilize such a powerful link element with spiritual centers capable of providing them with abundant goods and health.

            As a matter of fact, the process is quite simple. During evening meditation, it should suffice to use thought to formulate the images of one’s most dear aspirations, which would then be projected in the ether that surrounds the Earth. And since such a projection has the virtue of giving form to such images, it attracts them towards whoever projected them. It is through this process that men and women who learn to think methodically and efficiently have been able to realize aspirations dear to their hearts, during all times.

            It is also through thought that men and women can contribute to the conservation of their health and body youth. It can be achieved by adoption of daily prayer to the Lord of the World, who is our Lord Jesus, uttered at bedtime with profound concentration. And as prayer is conducted to the most elevated plane of the spiritual world in relation to the Earth, it brings back the purest spiritual fluids of health and wellbeing to those who pray. Therefore, persons with the habit of daily prayers receive valuable gifts from the spiritual world. Such fluids are similar to a shower of blessings which bathe the heads of those who pray, which can then transform themselves into health for the skin and wellbeing for the entire organism.

            It is easy for us to identify persons who are given to the habit of daily fervent prayers, even in public places, given that they display a halo of bluish light over their heads. This is a sign that they are good, sincere and humble souls. It is a characteristic of souls who possess a certain degree of evolution. Possessing beautiful skins, they inspire us with great sympathy instantly, for the goodness reflected in their faces. Then, here it is an efficient way for everyone to conserve themselves young and attractive until approximately one hundred years of age, in case anyone desires to remain on Earth for such a long period.

                                                                        Chapter XLVII

The sons of God of the civilization that is coming to an end – To the composers and the artists – A method for everyone – A truly inspiring source – Let us renovate and elevate the musical works of the Earth – Jesus wants incentives for artists and poets

            The sons of God, who form the civilization which is coming to an end in the earthly world, have their destiny in their own hands starting in the final days of this century. They could either ascend to a tranquil and happy plane of life in which problems and situations that could be worrisome to them are non-existent, or return to live on Earth when the living conditions become much better than they are now. In a general way, the sons of God who currently live on this small world have already achieved enough conditions of experience to allow them to opt to live in the spiritual world dedicated to the type of activities of their preference.

            Those who appreciate the beautiful arts will find there a greatly vast field available to them, so that they could develop and perfect the knowledge that they may already have, which would be rudimentary in face of the great improvement already achieved in all such sectors. As for music and painting, the way in which they are practiced in certain planes of the spiritual produce in the happy inhabitants a true joy of spirit, in what we can designate here as a dream environment. I must say, esteemed readers, that music on this plane of life constitutes such a great wellbeing and happiness for the enthusiastic listeners that there is no greater pleasure for them than to listen or to make music, if they know how.

            The melodies that lastingly delight us in the above cannot even be defined by words because their beauty and enchantment are felt and appreciated by the respective happy inhabitants. We all would like for the inspired composers in the earthly plane to be disposed to mentally pick up from the invisible world even if just an image of the melodies that are produced there, composing them on Earth for everyone’s joy. I am sure that if this were possible, there would be a general renovation of your current music, some of which are rather gross and undesirable.

            I would suggest to earthly musical composers to conveniently prepare themselves to pick up the beautiful melodies projected from the above by entities who are also interested in diffusing them in the earthly environment. Such a preparation requires just a small effort by those who want to receive them. Since all composers possess a more of less developed mediumistic ability, through which they receive the inspiration that allows them to compose their music, what they have to do then is to go into a mental state of concentration or ecstasy, so that their spirits can search in the superior planes for the harmonies which would allow them to compose truly beautiful music for their listeners.

            Earthly composers can even come in contact with the greatest masters of music who passed by the Earth, and who continue to study and produce the most refined compositions in the above, considering that when free from matter, the spirit can go on indefinitely improving its artistic abilities. Therefore, whenever an incarnate composer has the disposition to penetrate the spiritual world to search for inspiration for his work, there will always be specialists from the invisible world ready to assist him on his endeavor.

            I will now show a method to be used by my esteemed brothers and sisters wishing to produce beautiful musical melodies, which is as follows: pick a day or two of the week, preferably in the evening, since that is when the atmospheric vibrations are calmer, and go to a room with absolute quiet. Sitting comfortably with pencil and paper in hand, enter then into a state of mental concentration, so that your thought can move away from the habitual issues of the earthly environment. This should be considered important, as important as my writing these lines to my intermediary who, isolated in his room, only initiates our joint work after elevating a prayer to the Lord Jesus to request the necessary assistance. Given that I have desired to communicate with my earthly brothers and sisters already for a long time, encountering this brother who was prepared and willing to work was a true joy. The books that he has received are circulating and being well sought because they are really good, as they contain ideas and advice from very high exactly to serve and help whoever acquires them.

            As far as music is concerned, the process is very similar, not to say the same. The composer who is interested in picking up new and beautiful melodies in the extraterrestrial plane will have to proceed in the same manner. He will begin exercising by writing the sounds being inspired to him on paper, regardless if at the end they are of any use or not. The important thing here is the exercise, or preparation. If he is a man of faith, who elevates a prayer to the Lord before starting, for inspiring and assisting him, my esteemed brother can thus be certain that he will receive truly extraordinary musical compositions capable of renovating everything that currently exists.

            Mediumistic ability is a characteristic common to all writers and composers, with varying degrees. Once this marvelous faculty is cultivated by way of mental concentration, everyone can be sure that they will be able to produce really exceptional work. In the above, I have various friends who left their names on Earth involved by the beauty of their musical compositions, names which you all know and admire. They would like to find incarnate elements desiring to produce great works in the musical field in view of the fact that they have seen, with a certain sadness, that work similar to theirs have not appeared on Earth since their departure.

            Therefore, I decided to address this topic in the present chapter due to the desire that I also have of seeing among the composers of this century, some who will come forth with the disposition towards great endeavors. Those with such a desire have a method to follow in my words, through which they will find a truly inspiring source in the invisible plane. Thus, if my suggestion is successfully put into use, it will make me very happy. And since I am the vehicle of the idea to my readers, also desiring to see great musical works in the earthly world, I propose to my esteemed brothers interested in practicing mediumistic exercises, so as to pick up inspiration in the spiritual world, to invoke me in thought. They can use with the name with which I sign this book or the title which the church of Rome distinguished me with, and I will see that they are put in communication with the inspiring sources of the spiritual world.

            And even though I know the volume of work that such an offer will produce, esteemed readers, my desire to cooperate is so great that I promise to do as much as necessary to assist everyone interested. Let us then cooperate, you on Earth and we in the above! Let us renovate and elevate the musical works on Earth at least to the level of those left in the past, but which still delight refined souls today. As I write these words, I am being assisted by some entities specialized in music who assure me that every request made on Earth will be answered, provided that they receive them. As a result, I am even more positive that I will be able to direct the thought of everyone who wishes to contribute to the renovation of the musical works in existence in the earthly world.

            Having said this, I will inform those interested in other aspects of beautiful arts such as painting, sculpture, and the entire scale that is practiced in your world, that you can use the musician’s method in the search of inspiration for your specific art. The spiritual world is replete with great souls who have been practicing the beautiful arts already for a long time, and who are eager to find followers on Earth whom they would be able to help through attentive and opportune inspiration.

            Generally, all persons dedicated to the beautiful arts possess delicate souls, which were used to the practice of the beautiful in their past existences. Obtaining permission to return to Earth, as these good souls once again decide to follow the specialty that seduces them, they enrich their environment with beautiful paintings that reveal the poetic aspects of the nature in which their dreaming souls live immersed, or in the molding of dignifying beautiful sculptures.

            The Lord Jesus looks at all these delicate souls with particular sympathy, as well as at the poets of the Earth, whose destiny is to offer their contemporaries something different and more pleasant than the search for fortune and abundance by the others. Jesus knows that they do not harbor even any remote idea of enrichment in their innermost, for appearing as absolutely impossible, but feel spiritually happy with the confection of good works which no one knows to appreciate as well as themselves.

            Therefore, the Lord Jesus has determined that his emissaries in the earthly environment, and those in the above in conditions of doing it, cooperate in whatever they can to facilitate the concretization of the beautiful artistic conceptions of the two classes mentioned above. And as far as I know, it could be affirmed that up to present time, no soul of any artist departed from the Earth leaving a will to their inheritors. The rule has been for them to depart amid a dignifying poverty, just as they lived. However, they are received by their brothers and sisters of art, in their plane of spiritual life, with the greatest demonstrations of joy. They will then receive a beautiful reward of lights which no fortune on Earth is capable of reproducing. Therefore, let us love and respect the souls of all artists living among you for their great efforts in soothing for the delicate souls the rough and gross aspects of earthly life.

            Although I mentioned just some classes of artists who, due to the delicacy, deserve special sympathy from the Lord Jesus, I want to clarify that it is also directed to the other classes of artists living on this physical plane, given that each class of souls specializes in the sector which best harmonizes with their tendencies and aptitudes. Their main concern is to produce something beautiful or useful for the pleasure or comfort of the others, without the industrialist’s ambition, for example, whose natural objective is always enrichment.

            Therefore, musicians, poets, painters, sculptors and the all the others involved in similar activities, can be certain that, although their activities do not provide them with more than enough to live on, they have the Lord Jesus’ special sympathy, which shall accompany them on their return to space already transformed in blessings and lights for their spirits.

            I guess that members of another important class of artists – the writers – will have noticed that I did not include them in the theme of this chapter. They are really artists of thought, to whom the culture of the earthly world owes a great deal. Although I was not allowed to go into it on this chapter, I still hope to have permission to include it on this book. As for myself, I am a great admirer of writers, for the great works they have produced in all times, through images and narrations, towards the development of the spirit.

            In general, writers are mediums, considering that it is their mediumistic ability which allows them to receive certain magnificent images and conceptions towards earthly progress. I will just say that blessed are the writers of the Earth, given that a reward also awaits them upon their return to the spiritual world. Blessed, then, be all the writers of the Earth!

Earth will soon accommodate new millions of souls – Interplanetary cooperation – Warning to administrators and entrepreneurs – Influence of the many planets over the Earth – Mercury’s and Venus’ joint role on this extraordinary phase

            When the Superior Forces decided to undertake operations to modify the Earth’s topography, human beings of the present were not in the earthly soil, or to say it better, perhaps were here but with a different name. Since this must have occurred more than two thousand years ago, each of the spirits who are presently here has had various incarnations since then.

            As already stated, the operations in the earthly soil have the objective of incrementing the production of food for man, beginning in the next century, due to the population’s growth on this small world. Given that the Earth is a perfect school, to which human beings come every century to search for new knowledge and experiences which are needed for their ascension in the spiritual scale, it is necessary to bring some millions of souls here who have been waiting in the beyond for their turn to reincarnate.

            This happens due to the verified slow improvement on the part of the souls who have been on Earth and even of the majority who are still here, which requires amplification of food producing areas to meet the needs of the current and future occupants in the earthly soil. It is for such a purpose that an extensive submersed area is being prepared, which should became visible on the surface within some years. In view of its geographical extension, this area could become a new continent to house a good number of inhabitants beginning in the first years of the next century. Works are being efficiently carried out in this sense, so as to correspond to the Superior Forces’ expectations.

            To advance what I am permitted to say to my esteemed readers, this area is totally covered by ice which is slowly melting as a result of the incidence of solar rays being directed over it. As a matter of fact, I want you to know that the operations which are already in motion on Earth do not constitute an isolated fact involving just the Earth. Many other planets of this solar system have been specially convoked by the Superior Forces to take part on such operations.

            Starting with the sun, which has been doing its part already for about twenty years, the moon, Mars, Mercury and Venus, each has an important task to perform relating to the modifications being operated on your small world. Each of the above mentioned sister-planets is directing its potentialities towards this terrestrial globe, aiming to keep it in a most perfect balance within its cosmic band. What these planets are doing is just retribution for what they received from Earth when they too had to operate substantial modifications to their structures.

            Upon being called by the Superior Forces of the universe to cooperate with the current topographical modifications on Earth, they synchronized all their potentialities with those of this world not only to help it maintain its vibrational balance but also the position it occupies in the cosmic band. The sun was asked for a greater ray incidence over the two extremes of the earthly globe to slowly deice areas which have not been used by human beings thus far. The immediate consequence of such deicing will be an increase of the Earth’s liquid volume, which will cause a relative increase in the oceans’ level and some areas to be covered by water.

            A probable submersion of the lower banks along certain oceans will result from this, and included on this phenomenon are some cities and villages which could completely disappear. However, this will not occur suddenly, in a way that would bring panic to the populations. It will occur slowly, so as to allow time for precautions to be taken. Here then is some advice to administrators and those responsible for coastal populations: begin to caution your populations towards relocating to more elevated areas and thus be preserved from what could come to pass where they currently live.

            One measure which I would recommend is the construction of new satellite cities near those close to the coast, and the transference of a good number of the industries from the lower cities, if not all, into them. Such providence would have two main objectives: to safeguard the existing industrial complex as well as a good part of the classes of the population involved in industrial activities. Such a measure should be duly studied by the leaders of each region of the earthly world.

            The function being performed by the moon has also a decisive importance, since it has been quite efficiently exerting influence over various sectors of this small planet. As a magnetic planet at the Earth’s service, the moon irradiates its enormous potential over the surface’s liquid element. It stimulates and directs the liquid element in a perfect continuity to all places of the earthly soil. At the present moment, this satellite is operating in the earthly subsoil the germination of the many millions of tiny seeds brought from invisible planes. The result of this should the appearance in the near future of a countless number of new plants which will enrich the process of nutrition and therapeutics of human beings.

            Brought in a state of dematerialization, or in essence, those tiny seeds are spread in the subsoil of areas considered as most appropriate, and then given to the action and care of lunar influence. And as this magnetic satellite irradiates the power of its magnetic fluids over their essence, it provides the seeds with material wrappings constituted of earthly quintessential matter. Such a process can last months or years, in accordance with the nature of the seed and region where it was sown.

            However, lunar influence and the Superior Forces’ care always allow such tiny seeds to germinate, which result in the appearance of the respective plant on the surface. Once this is done, extra care is then required from the Superior Forces towards its growth, flowering and fructification, to insure the diffusion of each of these new specimen through the seeds fallen to the ground. In all of such stages of each plant, the lunar magnetic fluids are indispensable. Without it, such a type of operations it would be impossible.

            As for the vibrations from other planets, such as Mars, Mercury and Venus, they also play an important role for the complete success of the modifications being operated on Earth. For example, it is up to Mars to bathe each detail of the established earthly modifications with the force of its irradiations, so as to insure its greater consolidation and solidity. The most elevated constructive ideas constantly arrive on this small world from Mars, aiming at stimulating the memory of human beings so that certain necessary improvements can be implanted here. Thus, Mars’ influence is decisive for the implantation on Earth of what the human cerebrum can conceive and realize. Mars’ high directors, who frequently visit this plane, are seriously engaged in accelerating the earthly world’s progress, and some important improvements which are being realized on Earth have had the efficient collaboration of our progressive Martian brothers and sisters.

            I will now talk about Mercury’s and Venus’ influence on this extraordinary phase of your small planet. The influence of these two older sisters of the Earth is exerted in a way which I will refer to as conjugated, for together they influence the artistic and cultural sectors. While Mercury’s influence is towards the germination of the artistic elements in the earthly environment, Venus’ action stimulates their growth.

            The following image could give you a better idea about their joint action. Imagine that two of you, my readers, find yourselves on a certain region where you have to spend the night. Since you need fire to heat up or cook your food, besides the lighter or match box that you carry, you will also have to gather some firewood. As one of you uses the lighter to start the fire, the other will have to carefully blow so that it can spread. On this simple operation, one of you played Mercury’s role and the other Venus’ role. One set fire to the wood and the other gave it life by blowing it carefully. Although poor, this image shows the joint action of these two friends of your planet, both situated in the same system as yours.

            This is the way in which the modifications which are already in motion in some regions are processed, dressed in a certain complexity, as you can see. All and each one of you can greatly help the Superior Forces on such a great task if you are just willing to concentrate your thoughts on a daily basis, even if it is for one minute, for the results to have the least amount of difficulties possible. One minute would be enough for the vibrations of thoughts, gathered in favor of the success of such operations, to bring them to pass more rapidly and happily.

            The ideal would be for all readers to engage on this one-minute concentration at the same time, and if it could be done at midnight, its potency could become so strong that it would be capable of operating the needed modifications. However, since this would be not possible in view of your different activities, you could help by doing your minute of mental concentration at the most appropriate time. By doing so, you will be cooperating with the Superior Forces’ huge task of modifying the topography of this planet.

            In order to explain how the mental force irradiated during your minute of concentration would be utilized, I will resort to the image of the gathered firewood. Imagining then that you will draw together a mental force correspondent to a wood stick, and that other thousands or millions of people will also be cooperating in such a sense, it will result in thousands or millions of wood sticks available to the Superior Forces each day. Can you imagine now the volume of wood that this would produce daily?

            Let us then transport this image to the field of the mental force itself, and we will see the enormous potential that could be utilized by the Superior Forces to improve the current conditions of the earthly world. I assure you that there will be a compensation for your spirits in form of light and progress, equivalent to the mental force that you are able to irradiate during the above mentioned minute of concentration.

            But it has to be clarified that, since your mental concentration needs a target to gather in the above, I suggest that you visualize an image of the terrestrial globe. Once your thought is directed in such a way, it will gather in the same point, and be received by the Superior Forces. This is the target you should formulate.

   Chapter XLIX

A fact that causes preoccupations – Purgatory, heaven and hell, a product of the imagination – Time gallops towards the events – All religions are valid to received aid from relief entities when the time comes

            The events predicted to occur on the earthly world in the final years of this century, as it has been annunciated, has the sole objective of implanting better conditions of life for human living on this small planet. This is the reason why thousands of Lord Jesus’ emissaries are in the earthly environment: their mission is to awaken the hearts which happen to be dormant, so that they can become attentive and prepared for the passage of such events.

            According to what the emissaries of the Lord have been able to observe in all countries of the Earth, there are a rather large number of human beings so absorbed in interests of a material order that they continue dormant in spite of their actions. Although it does not come as a surprise to us, since predicted since long ago, it is still a cause of preoccupations due to the fact of what could happen to souls who are not duly prepared to travel when the ship arrives at their hearts’ dock.

            And if they are not prepared to travel, the souls who refused to become knowledgeable about the works from the Lord’s emissaries, which will certainly be the case, could remain here without shelter and a direction to follow. By referring to the ship, I meant a real means of transportation which will search for souls whose earthly existence ended as a result of the materialization of said events, so as to retrieve and conduct them to their plane of spiritual life. Such transportation, of a spiritual nature, does really exist to pick up and conduct the souls to their destination, and the necessary number will be made available.

            Therefore, it would indeed be lamentable if, due to a religious creed that opposes spiritual survival, anyone would reject the advice and warnings the Lord Jesus had diffused in the earthly environment, thus being left without protection for an indefinite period of time. All of us, spirits of God, know the many different divisions of creed and religions in existence on Earth, each having the conviction of being the only one on the right path.

            There are, among the numerous religious currents, those who swear their affirmation to be the truth that there are no spirits, and that everything ends at burial. There are also others who affirm that there is no other world or plane of life beyond the Earth, except for those three places denominated purgatory, heaven and hell as the definite dwelling places of all those deserving them. In reality, such places exist only in the imagination of whoever gives them credit, which they will become convinced of upon detachment from the current bodies.

            This is just one of the religious currents which will longer exist when its followers become convinced of the truth, which is very much different, but which I have no permission to contest at the moment. So, I would like make a fervent appeal to the existing religious currents on this chapter, as follows:

            The time is galloping towards the events planned for the Earth which will undoubtedly cause the departure of a large number of souls. I will not say that they will cause the death of such souls, since it is not the right term. Death does not exist the way you consider it, which is the end. The Lord Jesus together with the Superior Forces has taken all precautions in the sense of retrieving and conducting all souls who will disincarnate. I would not say that they will disincarnate prematurely in view of the fact that this has been duly predicted.

            On such an emergency, the Lord’s emissaries entrusted with soul’s retrieval will not ask each one of them about its religious creed in order to provide providential aid. However, they will not be able to help those who, being affiliated to a religious current that in its taboos does not accept their own survival for not believing in the existence of spirits, refuse to be picked up by gigantic transportation vehicles, so as to be conducted to their spiritual planes.

            These words are being said here in view of comments made in the earthly environment with respect to books of advice and teachings that have been written on Earth by Jesus’ emissaries. We have heard from some of our incarnate brothers that, since no departed soul can ever return to the environment in which it lived, these books can only be apocryphal. According to such esteemed brothers, their destiny is to live forever in one of the three stages mentioned earlier. We have also heard from persons possessing an elevated degree of material culture that, if the Lord needed to have something related to human happiness written, he would surely choose for such a mission personalities with great authority within his church or outside, men whose knowledge and social position would give authenticity to such divulged matters.

            This shows the degree of incomprehension under which people still live on Earth as they attribute to themselves the task of teaching religion to their brothers and sisters, after having examined works that harmonize with their own way of understanding what they preach. So, God help me not to hurt even slightly the convictions of my brothers and sisters who think this way, because I recognize their full right to do so. I say this because I know a few hundred souls (spirits) who live in the spiritual world after preaching rejection to Spiritism on Earth, under the allegation that such a phenomenon does not exist.

            Such souls live in the above the life which they constructed on Earth, and still keep rejecting the existence of the spirit. Thus, due to such intransigence, no entity wishes to oppose their attitude. But they are not abandoned by the Superior Forces, who try to teach them some spiritual truth. This is the best way found thus far to provide each of them with a new incarnation in an environment that is completely different from the one they lived previously. The result which has been obtained through such means has been excellent, including to the souls themselves.

            In case you find souls on Earth, esteemed readers, who possess excellent mediumistic faculties without being willing to develop them, you could identify souls mentioned above in the majority of them. But with the passing of time, opportunities will come to them to allow their faculties to mature and develop, resulting in excellent mediums. And as they practice charity and love to fellow creatures, they will redeem themselves from their past erroneous convictions.

            I will now return to the original topic, which was interrupted by the above explanation. The ongoing events will determine the need for retrieval of the disincarnating souls, which shall be impeccably carried out by the emissaries of Jesus and the Superior Forces without asking for their individual religious creed. The following idea could perhaps satisfy everyone. In order to prevent any human being from remaining roaming in the earthly environment after separation from the body, and I evidently refer to their spirit, I suggest that they start preparing right away to be aided when their turn comes, without worrying about the way with which these advice arrived on Earth, or through some divine revelation.

            Being conveniently prepared, everyone who will need aid shall receive it regardless of their religious creed. For a better understanding of my thought, I will use here the image of the luxurious vessel which capsizes in the middle of the ocean, leaving passengers and crew members at their own mercy. But is a true demonstration of love and human solidarity, vessels of different flags and countries come to their rescue. It did not occur to any of them to ask the religious creed of the crew members who saved them.

            Logically, the only valid idea in such circumstances is the idea of assistance. But let us admit that, after those moments of terror, and after they all had been saved and comfortably accommodated, some of the saving crew members had orders to ask and register their different religious creeds. In case such a formality had to be carried out, they all would be tranquil with respect to their own destiny; they would be sure that, since the divine Providence had aided them all, they would be all equals.

            With respect to the fact that led the Superior Forces to carry out the series of improvements in motion on Earth, there will also be the need to aid those who possibly will be hit by the events. This part is in the Lord Jesus’ hands, and everything has been prepared in order for various relief vessels to be present in the areas of such events. By now, the esteemed brothers and sisters who have not yet accepted these advices as authentic, for not having seen nor heard who dictated them, as well as those who ask for proof before they can accept them, they could confidently board the rescue boat, whether or not they accept the above advice.

            I want to make it very clear to all my incarnate brothers and sisters that I was neither entrusted with the task of unifying the various existing earthly religious creeds, nor of convincing anyone through an identification card that I am a certain spiritual personality. When I was on Earth two thousand years ago with the name which I sign this book, I had already found the proverb: by the fruit you know the tree. So, if based on my advice some of my readers are unable, or perhaps do not want to identify me as an entity who was authorized by the Lord to bring you the above advice already on the eleventh hour, I still will ask everyone to accept and practice, for their own benefit.

            Therefore, I promise to opportunely present to the readers who so desire the identity I have had since long ago as a devoted servant of Jesus, in all the various opportunities in which I was sent to the earthly plane. I will add that the circumstance that one, two or tens of readers may not want to accept my word without proof does not make them undeserving, given that they would be just following master Kardec’s instruction that it is preferable to reject ninety-nine truths than to accept a lie.

            The illumined decoder of the spirit doctrine was absolutely right in proffering such instruction in the past century. However, the new faculties that have been developed by human beings since then allow them to know through intuition where truth and mystification are to be found. I repeat that I will not hold anything against any of my esteemed readers who still follows that old instruction from Kardec; I will only ask them to call on me during their mental concentration, and I will have great joy to provide the desired clarification, so that they can accept my words as authentic.

            I also promise to gather all my readers in a plane in the beyond someday, so as to fraternize with them for having followed the advice contained in this book.

                                                                   Chapter L

Facts which you will longingly remember someday – The Lord’s great preoccupation as the fundamental objective of this book – A spiritual excursion into the imaginary heaven – I will be your escort – A silent vehicle – Let us descend

            The men and women present on Earth on these last days of the century should pay good attention to the events that might occur here, as they will have various opportunities to longingly remember them after finding themselves accommodated in their spiritual plane again. What I am referring to certainly does not concern the events that occur along one’s earthly journey, from the happy infancy years to maturity and old age. I am especially referring to events of a different nature, those which are destined to bring sensitive modifications to various points of this small planet.

            The way in which I open the many chapters of this book obey instructions from our divine Master Jesus, as I was entrusted with the mission which I am fulfilling through the written word before my esteemed readers. The Lord recommended, as the fundamental topic of this small volume, for the readers’ attention to be called towards the importance of the events which are being readied for execution at the moment I write these lines in the beginning of 1967.

            As for those coming across my words in a few or several years from now, this book will reveal the Lord’s great preoccupation with respect to his protégées on Earth, who can expect a loving and tender reception in the above. This is to insure that no departing soul from the earthly soil will feel unhappy when they return to the spiritual world, but joyful and happy.             Being this his preoccupation at the moment, the divine Master sent us in your midst in order for us to prepare the spirit of all inhabitants of the present through the contents of this and others books received by this beloved intermediary.

            The Lord Jesus wishes that all of you, esteemed readers, firm in your hearts the great truth that you are on Earth in order to progress a little more spiritually, correct possible moral deviations coming from other eras, deepen sentiments of fraternization around your circle of relations, so that you can help those you can help with a pure heart, elevated by the pleasure of being useful to your fellow creature. Directing your daily acts within such a principle, and praying to the Lord with a sincere desire of being heard by him, you will be truly living the life that will notably elevate you in the spiritual scale, which is all you came to obtain on Earth.

            Having said this, having once again affirmed the fundamental objective of this book, I will succinctly talk about something that you should appreciate. I want to give you a very close idea about heaven, that ambitioned spiritual stage or divine residence as announced by your various religions. You shall have the exact and palpable idea of heaven when each of you, in your own time, become not just guests but the fortunate inhabitants of this plane of love, happiness and wellbeing.

            To start, I will say that it does not exist as pictured by earthly imagination, which is, as one of the means to try to incentive incarnate souls to practice good deeds, so that they can purify themselves during their earthly lives. Such argument on the part of religious preachers is quite laudable, since it deeply penetrates sensitive souls, helping them avoid practicing condemnable acts against their journey companions. By promising the kingdom of heaven to incarnate souls who will do all they can to deserve access to this plane of intense luminosity and love, the religious preachers have accomplished a great deal through the past millenniums.

            However, what none of these devoted brothers have yet been able to explain to their listeners are the nature and the conditions of this privileged plane of spiritual life, which is where the Lord Jesus and all others who deserved to live there reside. So, in order for you to have a close idea about this luminous plane known as heaven, imagine that you just have been invited to visit an enormous country as tourists, so that you can see and record its beautiful and great things. Therefore, accompany me in spirit, esteemed readers, for I will be your escort.

            Let us then disembark from our airbus, at heaven’s airport. Did you notice that our vehicle is absolutely silent, which is the opposite of the jets that you are familiar with?  This is due to the type of fuel used by the airbuses that abundantly cross the celestial spaces, which within a century or two should also be used in your planet. At this immense airport, we can see thousands of transportation like ours coming from various places, including those bringing tourists from other planets.

            Some are souls from your same plane of life, and others from different planes, all coming to our heaven. Since you are still linked to your bodies on Earth, you will have to take a different transportation in order to overcome the distances you will be traveling in my company. Therefore, let us embark on that beautiful vehicle that waits for us next to airport’s exit. The fact that it does not have wheels or wings makes you justifiably curious. In the plane where we are now, vehicles do not need such elements to be able to fly.

            All of their force of locomotion is activated by the volitional power of the passengers. Conveniently developed by the inhabitants of this plane, such a power enables them to reach the longest distances which they desire to reach. The volitional power of a group of souls is superior to that of your flying machines, with the advantage that these vehicles are accident-free. They never crash. I describe such details for you to become acquainted as much as possible with the things you will someday find in the plane which you are now visiting in my company.

            Let us now enjoy our flight on this beautiful transport, which has no pilot or crew members, for absolutely unnecessary. In case we need anything during our excursion, all we have to do is think of it and someone will bring it to us. Continuing with our itinerary, let us visit first the distant places and appreciate their incomparable beauty. Can you see that luminous mountain range very faraway, my friends, so far away that it almost disappears in the horizon? Let us head towards it, which should take us from five to ten seconds. Yes, my beloved; our volitional power allows us such a speed. Although according to earthly distances it may be some three hundred kilometers away, it does not represent anything to us in the above, considering that we arrive at any place as fast as our thought.

            And as I finish saying this, we are already there. Come out with me for you to appreciate the bright soil. Although from far it appeared to you that the luminosity of this mountain range could perhaps have been a reflection of solar rays in the horizon, you can see that it is not the case. The brightness that you now appreciate is part of it. You have this bright-yellow rock on Earth, but in small particles, under the name topaz. Here it is an entire mountain offering itself to the contemplation of the inhabitants of this plane. No one here conceives the idea of cutting a small part of this rock in order to put it in one’s finger, since absolutely unnecessary.

            And given that it is also night time here at this moment, notice how the rock’s brightness illuminates the environment so perfectly, impregnating it with the characteristic yellow-golden tones. There are other gems along the gigantic mountain that is before us. Although I would like to show you more, we have to consider that you have to return to your dormant body on Earth.

            As we return, let us observe the valley ahead of us, where we will land for a few minutes for you to appreciate, at least superficially, what goes on there. Since we are already there, do you see that huge population of small animals moving about at the bottom of the valley? There are thousands of such animals living and multiplying themselves here, just like they do on Earth and other worlds. Since the question which one of you thought of asking me was formulated on your mind, my answer is yes. These small animals form a nucleus of their species.

            Each time that one of these animals departs from the Earth, no matter in which manner, only its physical body remains there perhaps for your consumption, as it was the case with these loveable rabbits, as they were hunted and in their habitat and consumed. Their spiritual-double is then attracted to the nucleus to which they belong, and they gather here, as it has been happening throughout the millenniums.

            I will also answer your other question, esteemed friend; yes, there are other places for the other species of animals, including those you denominate as ferocious. However, here they are docile because no one bothers them and also because they do not need to struggle for food. There are a vast number of such areas here for each animal species, receiving from and sending to Earth the spiritual-double which will give birth to new individuals in the physical plane. In order to conclude my quick explanation on this topic, I will say that there is such a spirit of peace and understanding among the spiritual-double of the different animal species that they esteem and respect one another when they meet.

            But let us fly from here for you to quickly contemplate one of the marvels of this plane. Let us depart and in a few seconds you will appreciate the most beautiful waterfall you ever saw. As you look now at the enormous liquid volume cascading from the top of the mountain, try to identify the preponderant color. Is it white, grey, silver, bluish or is it greenish or yellowish? It is difficult, my beloved, to identify the color of the liquid of this beautiful waterfall. Because it has the colors of the ever changing rainbow, there is no preponderant color. Come now a little closer and try to touch the liquid. What is your impression? Try again. You did not feel the liquid? Is it not extraordinary? Since it is untouchable, no one evidently has been able to touch it up to now. Has any of you ever been able to touch a fog or a cloud on Earth? It happens to be the same phenomenon. Since this immense volume is just fluid, it is untouchable. Keep this well in your memories and pass it on to your friends on Earth.

            Let us now fly towards a new aspect of our excursion. What do you feel here? Is it perfume? We are now visiting an extensive park of forest essences. Appreciate the irradiation of this beautiful tree through its branches and leaves. Yes, it is sandalwood, as you already know it on Earth. Existing here in abundance, it is commonly sought by souls in need of rest. Sandalwood is essentially a reposing plant. Let us go a little further. Smell this perfume, which can be felt even from the trunk of this tree. With due permission from the tree, let us take a little peace of its bark. You do now this perfume? Although it is called “love”, it is quite different from the perfume you know on Earth under the same name.

            That is the “enchanting love” mentioned by poets, since in fact no one can smell it for too long. That is enough, my friend. You have already aspirated more than you can stand, resulting in such dizziness. For a prompt recovery, breathe in now the disenchanting aroma of that small flower. The divine Providence is so good, so wise and so perfect that it makes these small daisies grow next the tree of love exactly for the recovery of souls who may have aspirated its perfume beyond their possibilities.

            Appreciate in spirit, esteemed readers, everything that you see in heaven, which is nothing compared to what you have not yet seen. However, since it is already almost day time on Earth and you need to awaken your dormant body, let us return to the airport, so that you can take the transport that will take you to your world. I will accompany you and we will return tomorrow to continue with your excursion. Let us depart, then.

                                                                Chapter LI

Second spiritual excursion – The Lord Jesus arrives on earthly soil – Great personality returns from Earth – Our Lady comes to the airport – Specialized entities work on miniatures of the Earth – Visit to the Library – The Palace of Harmonies

            In order for us to proceed with our excursion toward that plane of intense luminosity which you know as heaven, let us again board a fluid vehicle. Is everyone who constituted yesterday’s caravan here? Let us embark. But let us wait a moment though, given that it should be of great interest to all to be able to closely appreciate the arrival of that phosphorescent craft. Since it has already landed, let us go closer to it. That is magnificent, my friends! Do you see who is leaving that craft? Fine tune your senses and you will see it is our Divine Master who has just descended to the earthly soil with his luminous body of assessors. This is not the first time that he has come since I started to dictate this book. The Lord wishes follow the ongoing works on this physical plane very closely in order to be able to attend to the needs of the incarnate beings. The Lord has come here several times in the past months with his committee, staying from three to five days each time, or even longer.

            Ask your question, esteemed friend, and I will clarify to you that the Lord Jesus does need hotel accommodation for his stay on the face of the Earth, since his messengers indicate which homes have the conditions to provide lodging for him. We try to visit all homes to note the situation of harmony and understanding that exist in each of them, as well as the moral level of the respective inhabitants. The Lord, who does not need meals or a bedroom, only wants to establish himself and his committee even when the persons of such a home are not aware of it. However, being previously consulted, the spirits of such persons consented to the accommodation of the Lord and his committee.

            So, it is quite possible that the homes of many of my esteemed readers will or have already received the grace of accommodating the Lord Jesus. Therefore, being aware of this fact, it would be of utmost convenience for them to prepare themselves, trying to police their acts and thoughts as of now.

            And as we now continue with our beautiful excursion, you can appreciate more closely the planets that we are leaving behind, which you call stars. They all are stars, as it is your Earth when seen from far, with its face illuminated by solar rays. To the inhabitants of all the stars you can contemplate, the Earth is also a star. As we again arrive in heaven, notice how gentle the landing of our craft is, so gentle that we almost do not feel it. Let us disembark. However, before we leave the airport, I wish to show everyone a very interesting spectacle.

            Let us go close to those other vehicles arriving from Earth. Can you observe that the tens of disembarking souls are all in a state of unconsciousness? Do you see how they are being received? Since they need medical attention, those stretchers are there in order to conduct them to the hospital. Being victims of an airline accident in which their souls were hardly hit, they lost consciousness of themselves before they were brought to this plane. But unfortunately, what you are now witnessing occurs very frequently. However, the air transportation on Earth will receive certain improvements within a few years which shall make it absolutely safe, as safe as the ones we use in the above.

            Let us see what is happening on that other vehicle. According to the magnitude of the reception, it must involve the arrival of some great personality from the Earth. Have you noticed who is present to receive that beautiful octogenarian figure that is coming out? Let us go a little closer. Entities of great luminosity are here to receive and congratulate that soul. How beautiful this is, esteemed friends! How beautiful it is the reception offered in the above to a soul who fulfilled its duties on Earth!

            However, this particular soul possesses a particularity which not all do. It lived an earthly existence of great simplicity and humility, aspiring in its heart only to serve the Lord Jesus in its earthly life. And as the Lord received its sincere aspirations, he conceded the desired opportunity to this soul. Thus, this average soul was able to elevate itself in such a way to deserve this beautiful reception upon its return to the spiritual plane. Do you see that greatly illumined soul embracing the arrived soul? Do you have any idea who it is? That most beautiful entity is our Lady, the Blessed Mother, the exalted mother of our Lord Jesus. Her presence here translates well the worth of the soul who just arrived. The event we just had the venture of witnessing is very rare.

            But let us proceed with our excursion on this plane, given that time flies and you need to return to your body. Firstly, let us visit that majestic building of translucent walls in the square straight ahead. You will admire inside an activity which is unknown to you. Entering with the due permission from those responsible, let us cross this hall, which is so beautifully decorated with flowers and plants, and enter into that chamber where tens of specialized entities work. They are scientists in charge of following and interpreting events which are directly related to your small world.

            Do you see that gigantic miniature of the Earth? These entities observe and study in it the reflection of all movements operated in the earthly soil, relating to the events which shall soon take place there, as you have been informed. This first miniature of the terrestrial globe shows it as it is at the moment, that is, prior to the modifications which it will undergo. Every high and low salience has been mathematically reproduced in it, and the ongoing modifications projected over them.

            Let us move on to the next chamber. Here we see before you another miniature of the Earth, also with great dimensions, showing the way the terrestrial globe shall be after such a transformation. Let us go a little closer, with the proper permission from the entities present. The greenish coloration in the midst of the light-yellow represents the area which will replace the area in the other miniature. The already initiated works shall bring down the current greater or lesser elevations of the earthly soil, given that they are useless to man for production of any type of food. They all become perfectly cultivable afterwards, and as a result, of the greatest utility in the production of food.

            There is another great geographical modification to take place. Observe on this figure of the Earth the inexistence of a link between these two continents, united in the other figure by that stretch of land which separates these two great oceans. This territorial link is destined to disappear in order to allow the meeting of these great oceans and a perfect access to navigation. Yes, I understand your question and will try to answer it. The populations living in the territorial stretch that is meant to disappear are being spiritually instructed to move to other countries, and a part of it is already doing it. As for those who will stay and then pass on, they will be received here with all tenderness and comfort. But since the events will happen slowly and not at once, there is hope that all inhabitants of the region destined to submerge will be able to save themselves with the spiritual assistance that is always present.

            Since our time is short and I still have much to show you, let us go into that other beautiful and great building with translucent walls of a celestial-blue tone. See how wonderfully this great library presents itself. Go ahead and ask your question, dear brother. Yes, I can say that the synthesis of all works which are divulged in the earthly world exist here. I will request one of them for a better appreciation of the process. Here is Dante’s beautiful work, the Divine Comedy; such a work can be appreciated in its entirety through the conveniently filed fluid plates. There is also this synthesis, which can be thumbed by any soul. If perchance they desire to consult the whole, they shall also have in a matter of seconds.

            Let us now quickly go to the reading chamber. Notice the high number of spiritual beings devoting themselves to their favorite reading materials. Some try to perfect the knowledge which they shall soon need in the physical world, while others consult technical works of their specialty. The type of reading that attracts the smallest number of readers here is romance, given that almost no one is interested in regular soap operas, much less in the tragic type. On the other hand, poetry gathers a regular number of readers. Although the great earthly poetic works are also much appreciated here, I will not mention any author for fear of omitting some having equal worth. Poetry is a type of reading that is quite appreciated here.

            Since I still want to provide you with a beautiful spectacle to the ears and heart, you will listen to some celestial music, of which I am sure you will keep the most grateful remembrance. Thus, let us go to that gray building to our right, which we can call in earthly language Palace of Harmonies. Let us then enter with the kind permission from its directors. Music aficionados gather here every night to enchant our ears and hearts with their unforgettable harmonies. Sit comfortably as a small organ concert is about to begin, in which tens of instruments played by true artists take part. Let us then listen with utmost attention.

            I perfectly agree with you, esteemed friends, that there are no words capable of translating the emotion and enchantment we just felt during the happy minutes we listened to those most beautiful melodies of celestial music. However, it was just a detail of the music executed on this luminous plane of life. In the day you are able to live here and duly appreciate the enchanting melodies awaiting you, beloved, you will then truly consider yourselves eternally happy creatures.

            It is now necessary for you to return to your world in time to awake in the body which waits for you. I will accompany you for two reasons: because it is my duty to conduct you back to your world, from which I brought you here, and because I wish to meet with the Lord Jesus, who is there in service, and join his committee. Thus, let us take the vehicle which is waiting for us, ready to go. I believe that I was able to provide all with reasons for joy on this second excursion, for what you were able to observe on this plane of light, love and happiness. Let us then return to Earth.

                                                *   *   *

            With these lines, I end the work which I have been dictating for about eight months towards elucidation of all human beings who will have the opportunity to become knowledgeable about what I came to say, by determination of our dear Jesus. So, if my words are received with attention and acceptance by my esteemed incarnate brothers and sisters, I shall feel largely compensated for my efforts in the earthly environment during such a period. From the above, where I now live serving the Lord, I will answer with all my heart any call for additional clarification from my esteemed readers. Farewell, then, my esteemed readers and friends. Count as of now on the protection and friendship from this older brother who was called:

                                                Paul of Tarsus

                                      Rio de Janeiro, Brazil – April of 1967.
