Teaching 203
1. Be welcome, those of you who wish to expand your knowledge to discover the highest of your being
2. Happy and blessed shall be those who want to see clearly. But truly, I tell you, you cannot achieve this until you make the effort to remove the bandage covering your eyes.
3. Man has made himself doubly guilty: not only because he makes no effort whatsoever to remove the bandage that denies him knowledge of the highest teachings, but also because he has not freed himself from the fetters of matter, which have seduced him ─ to the physical pleasures, in contrast with the spiritual pleasures ─ This is the reason why he has enslaved himself under the dominion of the passions and allows his soul to resemble a lame man who does nothing to get well.
4. In all fields I see the majority of men unstable, everywhere I meet only the weak man. And to what is this attributable? To the fact that you do not have the courage and sufficient willpower to get out of the dirt you are in, to overcome the inertia that forges the fetters that bind to matter, and this is the origin of all vices, all faults.
5. But man does not want to make use of that power with which he has been endowed, which is the will.
6. The will, which is to be the unrestricted legislator, which is to become the supreme leader, and, supported by reason, is to fight ─ power against power, dominion against dominion: on the one hand the passions and the lusts, on the other reason and will, until these latter win the battle, and you can say that you are liberated.
Then you will be the great prophets, the great enlightened ones, who can be "supermen. Then you will be able to live together with the wild animals and play with reptiles. For truly, I tell you, it is the transgressions that burden you that cause you to fear those little brothers of yours, and this is also the reason why they attack you.
But if you take the time to observe the people, you will discover that there are people who are wilder than tigers and who have more poison than the cobra.
7. Do not believe that the prophets of ancient times were able to perform miracles because they were predestined to do so. No, it happened because they fought until they won and became real servants of the temple. But truly, I tell you: He who strives hardest to attain the truth is exposed to transgressions and passions.
But you possess the light that enlightens you, which is the divine power, the immortal and pure nature, the indestructible essence that enlivens everything and carries man to the highest bliss. This indestructible essence is the pure element that every human being possesses. But man has poisoned himself with earthly pleasures, and therefore this indestructible substance, this immortal being, was covered with the mortal garment, and he sacrificed himself voluntarily.
But by the power it possesses, it will gradually restore the dignity of mortal man, and he will then crave for the pleasures of the immortal fruit and forever forgo striving for the perishable delights that the bad fruit brings.
8. But what do you need to achieve all this? ─ The knowledge of how to use your strength and energy to work as true temple workers, so that you can triumph and remove the blindfold that covers your eyes, so that you can see clearly and make no misstep, nor grope around in the dark.
9. I have spoken to you of what you call mysteries. But you must study my word thoroughly to perceive all the light.
10. I want you to understand this great truth, that neither God nor nature have secrets for man. It is the weak grasp of the divine teachings that has made man unable to follow the true law. That is why he wanders from here to there, from one side to the other, without understanding anything, without feeling anything, without understanding that God is in man's Spirit and always makes himself known for his benefit.
11. The true law means perfection. For what good is it to you to say that you practice one religion or another? What good is it to you to say that you believe in God, when your works, your thoughts say quite the contrary? The day will come when I will bequeath to you my kingdom of heaven, that you may see that I am in the Father, and you in Me, and I in you. This covenant will be called "covenant of peace. Then the law will be fulfilled. You will acknowledge Him as the only Lord; there will be no preferential treatment of the one over the other, for you will all love each other as one man, as one being.
But if you want, if you, my beloved ones, make the effort, if you want to be the true servants of the temple, we can still make this covenant of peace today.
Do not think that you have to leave this planet to make this covenant. No. What you need is will. The table is set, and I invite you to sit down. Come and take your seats, let Me guide you, serve you. Take with Me the bread of truth, enlighten yourselves with the torch of love, let the bandage fall that covers your eyes, tear the fetters of passions, enlighten yourselves as children of God, who you are, with the highest light.
I invite you, come with Me, join Me in the song of praise: "Glory to God in the highest, and the covenant of peace be now established on earth. Hallelujah, Hallelujah to the Lord." Receive my beneficent dew, my satisfaction. Surrender your sufferings to Me, give Me your afflictions, and remember them no more. Sing with Me: "Hallelujah, Hallelujah to the Lord". ─ Do not become too loud, my beloved ones, for I am with you.
12. If you could be in harmony with the heavenly concert, you would not have the slightest desire to take the poisoned fruit to yourselves again. You would always let the immortal being shine in you. Do you want to come to the table, my beloved children? It is covered, and I am your servant, I guide you. Come, for I await you.
13. Be not like the Pharisees, who show themselves in the temple, in the synagogues, with pale faces, so that men may say that they have fasted, and after that they let their wickedness and instincts be brought to a halt. No, my beloved ones, you are to be the same in the assembly hall, on the streets and in your homes, louder and louder like clear water, so that those who want to attack the teaching of Jesus may see it and say that my teaching is really good, because you are a living mirror of virtue in your public and private lives, because you leave love, truth and goodness everywhere.
14. In this moment I am approaching myself to look at my people and write my word in their hearts. I leave you the memory of my rallies through these voices. When you reflect, you will realize that I have not remained silent for a single moment, that I, the "Word," have always spoken to you. My voice, which I let reach people in many ways ─ be it to their mind, to their Spirit or to their heart ─ is encouragement, strengthening, hope, inspiration, and sometimes judgment.
15. Also I say to you: At all times men have sought me spiritually ─ some with greater zeal than others.
16. For not all things are found upon the earth. There is knowledge and revelations, which I reserve for myself, so that when you seek them, you find me. Never have I denied you my love, my mercy, which went so far that I also granted you that, of which you know that it does not do you good, so that you would convince yourselves of your mistake when you asked for it.
17. This time of spiritual rallies and of the divine word has been a feast, a banquet, to which you have been invited in order to be satisfied with his food Those who came "naked" found decent clothes to cover themselves.
18. After long journeys and efforts you were able to reach the shade of a mighty tree, where you regained your strength and learned to defeat the whispers of temptation that invite you at every turn to leave the right path. In this way you will gradually learn to be good disciples.
19. Therefore, after I have given you my teaching, I find you enthusiastically ─ ready to continue working for this cause. You have understood your responsibility, your obligation, to acquaint this work with the purity and sincerity that is inherent in it. You now realize that if you work with zeal, obedience and love, you will remove many thistles and thorns from the path of men. From different points of the earth you have followed this call to become soldiers and disciples.
20. Today you come to show me your loyalty, to follow me, to offer me the fruits of your work, which I alone know. I alone know who you have been, who you are, and who you will be tomorrow. You came with hunger for good works, thirsting for love and for being loved, and the Father received you, quenched your hunger and made you His servants.
21. When you had known and felt my divine love, you entrusted to Me in a comprehensive confession all that your heart had closed and hidden from the world. Your remorse for the transgressions you had committed was genuine, because your soul had previously been enlightened by my light.
22. I want you to be prepared to honour that covenant of love which you made with my divinity, through your works and your devotion, when you hear me again. For although you now experience me as father, I must also come to you as judge.
23. I do not want to surprise anyone sleeping, because he will then wake up too late and will have to shed tears.
24. You will only be able to hear this word for three more years. It has taught you ceaselessly. When will you be Master? Will you be able to take my place to continue to feed the multitudes? Today my Word is like a wake-up call, for now the time of the climax of my Word has already begun for you.
25. I have approached you that you may unite in Spirit, that you may set out with a firm resolution to accomplish the mission and embrace each other fraternally.
26. Understand that you are all equal, that there are no masters nor superior among you. I want you all to be servants of my cause.
Behold, the history of my Word is written down by those whom I have called "gold feathers" and I do not want the coming generations to discover divisions among you through these writings. You too must want this. Leave your example to them, written down through your works, and they will set out on their way, just as you have found encouragement in your own brethren in faith.
27. I have come down to caress them all, to cover them with my mantle. But this humanity has remained unreceptive and deaf. I have spoken to it by miracles, but it has remained stubborn. I made her feel my justice, but she fled from my justice. I have spoken to you with words of love that you may bear witness, but you have not given the Good News, nor have they foreseen the time in which they are. You all have the same qualities in Spirit. But some I prepare as messengers, and others I prepare so that they may receive them.
28. Go out as "laborers," always subject to my will. Keep yourselves prepared; for if you should not be, you will come empty-handed, though they have been filled with my divinity.
29. I have put my perfect work into sinful hands. But this is no reason that you cannot reveal it. If you are unworthy, make yourselves worthy of my love and give yourselves the means to love one another and save one another.
30. Since I am mighty, I want my creatures not to be needy, and therefore I lay my treasures and goods in sinful hands, so that these in turn may open themselves and give the others abundant gifts.
31. Blessed is he who was able to pass on all that he had brought in his soul. For he who has been unbelieving, selfish, or ignorant has not even recognized what he had in him. Be men of faith, that you may raise "Lazarus" from the dead and make the blind see.
32. If ye would know what great truth my word contains, ye will obey it, to put it to the test. But it will not be this that you put to the test, but yourselves. For if you have no faith in what you say or do ─ what faith in you could others have? You must be like a mirror in which your fellow men can see themselves and recognize that you are my messengers.
33. Fulfill your task, and when you have finished, you will find yourself in front of a large, locked gate that your hand can open because it has the key. Beyond that gate I await you. A foreign key will not help you to open the gate, nor will you be able to go from the first to the third step on the ladder without having been on the second. For these seven steps signify the path of spiritual perfection, which you all must travel.
34. I make of you all one heart, so that I leave you as one will and with one ideal.
35. In this moment speaks He who from the beginning of time has given you laws and commandments that you may walk with righteousness and exaltation, reaching out your hands to those who are weak. But your fruits are meager, and you have not yet nourished yourselves with the substance of that bread which I have always offered you, and which is love, goodness and mercy. You hide my revelations and keep your gifts to yourselves. But the soul of men is poor, and one day it will call you to account, and I do not want you to feel the severity of their judgment when they experience your responsibility. Make an effort, then I will multiply your seed.
36. It is true that you carry a very heavy cross on your shoulders, and that reproaches, repentance and condemnation are upon you. But if you do not fulfill your task, you will feel your responsibility much more strongly.
37. At this time the Good News should have spread, and the number of my disciples should have been much greater. Where are the sick whom you have healed and the sinners whom you have converted? The commission I am giving you does not exceed your powers and abilities. Your cross is like mine, it is the cross of renunciation, sacrifice and love. Everyone who takes it upon himself with real understanding will come to Me with a heart pierced by the incomprehension of his fellow men, but in peace with Me and satisfied by his work.
38. Over the church leaders you see here, who are your brothers, Elijah rises, who enlightens and inspires your soul. And also Mary, your Divine Mother, presents her creatures and brings them closer to Me, so that there may always be communion between the Father and the child. Mary is your constant intercessor. In her eyes you are all small and tender children. How many tears she she sheds when her beloved children sin. In reality, you do not know her love and devotion, and you have not comforted her motherly soul. My justice has been held back many times through her intercession. But do not believe that there is in her a will contrary to Me, for she is part of my Divine Spirit. Mary embodies my tenderness and is the model of motherly love.
39. Anyone who prepares himself in this time through prayer and good practice of my teaching will be spared the unleashed forces of nature. I urge you to pray and give you all the opportunity to be saved.
While the elements of nature purify and reduce the ranks of the disobedient, you are to remain "awake and working" and pray for your fellow men.
40. Often already have I required of you to unite so that you may bring one teaching to the world. For if you divide yourselves, you will have great trials and your reparation will be greater. For although you know my will and your difficult mission, you have then turned away from my regulations. Unite yourselves, remain as one Spirit and one will. Love one another.
41. You are in my presence and are ashamed of your lack of mission. You come without good works and have lost the garment of grace with which I have adorned you. You have disobeyed my commandments and accused me of imperfection because I have given you my instructions by means of a man. You are of the opinion that the human being is not able to transmit the divine word. But I prove to you at present that my decision is right.
Man possesses my Spirit and is able to understand me. Therefore I have made him a voice bearer and use him to communicate me to the world.
42. You carry in your soul a book in which you have written down your works during the various incarnations you have had on earth. And in the present time, a time of judgment, I have sent the one to atone and the other to accomplish a difficult task. I have chosen you from great multitudes of human beings to accomplish a work of purification, a work of renewal and spiritual upliftment among mankind.
43. The world will wonder why I have chosen you uneducated and sinners. I tell you: The destiny of all beings is in Me. I am currently working you to make you my apostles, and with the successful completion the time of purification will end.
44. Elijah trained your comprehension so that you could clearly recognize the beginning of the sixth stage, the broken sixth seal, which brought grace and light to every soul.
You have had my simple and understandable word, which cleared up secrets, opened up paths and turned on light in every creature. Many prophecies you have seen fulfilled, and in the face of so great a trial you have awakened and are getting ready to exercise my teaching.
45. I grant you the grace to hear me until the year 1950, at the end of which my voices will cease to transmit my word. I ask all of you for fraternity and constancy in your outreaches so that they may transmit without error and that my teaching may have the same essence in all the churches. For there is one master speaking to you. The world awaits the Good News, and it has been my will to choose you to bring this message to it.
46. The leaders of your nation do not know that there is in it a people of faith chosen by Me, who pray and "watch" for peace and good agreement among men. I prepare them and allow them to come among you to appreciate my rallies and your practice of religion.
47. Take care to interpret my words correctly and to obey my commandments. Do not give men the fruits of ignorance or fanaticism. Correct your imperfections, make your heart sensitive, then for the sake of your obedience I will stop the forces of nature that destroy the life and peace of your fellow men and also your own.
48. For a short time I still grant you my word. The time appointed by me is drawing near, and you must then be of one mind, church leaders and "workers. Take me as an example. Remember that the Master, in order to complete his work in the Second Time, suffered the cross and carried it on his shoulders to Calvary. Be humble and accept your mission. Your pain reaches Me, and your tears mix with mine ─ Tears of love and pain for the sake of humanity.
49. Do works of love and mercy, lead the crowds of people with zeal and righteousness, as my
Will is.
50. Prepare yourselves, that at the end of the year 1950 you may bring my teaching to the heart of men and scatter the people to all nations. I give you courage; for after this time, when you hear my word, your way will be bumpy. I bless you.
51. My peace is with you in the moment when you welcome Me.
52. I will leave you an indelible memory of this rallies and of this Word which I have granted you for a long time.
53. My word has adorned you, but never boast of it I alone know who you have been, who you are, and who you will be. Those who arrived with hunger and thirst in their souls quenched their desire when they heard my word, and today they are my servants. These servants are the disciples to whom I have shown the light of the sixth seal.
54. On this day you come together from different places, because my voice was heard everywhere and called you to the gathering.
55. I come not to judge you or to call you to account. Your conscience and your intuition will best be able to tell you your responsibility and the value of your works.
56. Do not believe that only you love Me. On all the ways of the world there are those who seek me, follow me and love me. But still I want you to train yourselves in my teaching and thereby be able to serve as an example to those who love me imperfectly or in an unfair way. Verily, I tell you, in all mankind the gifts of prophecy, inspiration and the Word are distributed.
57. Do not sleep, for there are only three years left until you no longer hear Me in this form. When will you be teachers of this teaching?
58. Today I have united you to call you to awakening, so that you may unite in the understanding of true spiritual love and understand that there shall be neither masters nor subordinates among you according to my will My word will remain written down. But remember that it is not my will that your imperfections be written in this book.
59. Will you leave to future generations the history of your transgressions as a bad example?
60. My work is holy, is divine, and yet I have placed it in sinful hands, for when sinners feel loved, honored, and pardoned by their Lord, it is they who follow Me with the greatest love, faithfulness, and renunciation.
61. Moreover, where are the righteous of this earth?
62. To you, disciples, I say: Use all your good will in your turn, so that I leave you, perfected by my teachings.
63. Do not doubt yourselves because of your clumsiness, for I can even make the rocks speak.
64. In your ways, in your life, there is a ladder that begins with man and ends with God. Walk it step by step until you reach the bosom of your Father Himself, when your soul has reached the highest degree of perfection.
65. Elijah is like a lighthouse that illuminates your way in this time. He strengthens you in the trials and announces to you those who are yet to come.
66. Blessed are the "workers" who in these moments, guided by their Spirit, hear my word. For it is they who, in their way, have known how to sow health, peace and joy.
My peace be with you!
