Spiritualism:
The Teaching of the Holy Spirit
The Science of the perfection of the soul

Excerpts from the Book of True Life
with the
Divine Instructions for the Third Time

Spiritualism is the teaching of the preparation of the human heart for the spiritual encounter and the eternal companionship with God, which in the image equates to a marriage. Spiritualism and the return of Christ in this Third Age is spiritual and it has no form, no image, no object of worship; it is purely spiritual and so is the teaching of the Holy Spirit - purely spiritual. When God says he will come on the clouds, it means that he will come spiritually – Invisible to the material eyes and inaudible to the material ears of man. He can only be heard in the silence and in the core, in the innermost being, in the heart of man, where he knocks, until man opens to him and is then heard and felt forever. Heaven is not a place out there, it is the soul's perfection of the heart. The heaven (the love), but also the hell (the evil) are within the human being, in his heart, in his spirit, in his nature, in his character. Man must himself seek for perfection on the way of the divine law, which is love and mercy, prayer and meritorious works.
The teachings have been given by God to men for the Third Age in Mexico from 1884 to 1950, as the teachings that guide them in this direction. This new Word of God purifies and cleans the spirit and the soul, nourishes the feeling heart of man and accompanies him on the path of ascension to the mountain of perfection, which is the seat of God, so that the humans can be there, wherever God is and God wants to live in their hearts, to be forever and ever their everlasting master.
Spiritualism renounces any external forms of worship, such as public buildings, pictures, figures. The viewer's attention is focused solely on the Spirit. The human spirit is an atom of the Spirit of God, which He has created in man and on which his universal law of love is written, which shows the soul the way of ascension to God.

The Light Torches of the Third Time

68. You have longed for my word because you know the voice of the Divine

Shepherd, in whose footsteps you have been coming for a long time.

69. It was not a compulsion that drove you to follow Me in this way, nor was it fear,

but the desire to be useful to your neighbors in order to please the Lord.

70. This is how the new disciples prepare themselves to be the torches that

light up the world. Blessed are those who understand me and believe in my word,

because they will feel neither hunger nor thirst in their soul.

71. I do not want your heart to be filled with vanity and self-magnificence

tomorrow when it witnesses the miracles that have become reality

through your gifts. But I also don't want to see you timidly, because then you

would not inspire trust in your fellow human beings. Be convinced of

what you speak and do.

72. You must intensify your preparation and perfect your procedure so that

you will be recognized after my departure.

73. I have entrusted to all of you the gift of healing with which you can

work miracles among the physically and mentally ill.

74. You should seek out the decrepit yourself in the mud to give him your

saving hand. If you think that my seed will not grow there, you are wrong.

I can prove to you that flowers as white as snow can sprout from the mire.

The more tainted a soul is, the more love is needed to seek it out, and if

it feels the caress or the healing balm, it will feel a ray of light penetrate and

will be one of the most fervent. Her gratitude will be very great because she

will be forgiven her guilt, which was also very great.

75. You should seek them out, as I have always visited you. Don't forget

that the righteous are already with me.

From The Book of True Life – Volume VIII – Teaching 241:68-75

The heart is refined through order fulfillment

57. Your heart will be refined in fulfilling the mission. Everyone progresses

according to their love, their commitment and their desire to serve me. My word

has been the same for everyone, and yet I have discovered "workers" to take

great strides toward spiritualization and others who have lagged behind in

their development.

58. To see the essence of my teaching, you must follow it. If you only hear my

instructions and forget them afterwards, you will not be able to keep them,

nor will you be able to pass on the delicious essence that my instruction contains.

It is so simple that you can practice it from the moment you hear it. Love is the

first law that I have made known to you, and from it all other

laws and commandments arise.

59. I told you that I created everyone and love everyone. Why don't you

love each other without differentiating races, classes or creeds? Why do you

love some and disregard others? Do not only love those who do you good,

seek out everyone and establish bonds of love with them. Exercise the

universal love that encompasses everything and love your earthly and spiritual siblings.

My work puts all souls on the same level. I want to see everyone forming my

family who love each other and create universal peace that allies with my divinity

so that each of you is my representative wherever you are.

60. Prepare yourself so that each of you is a fruit of the Great Tree, and this fruit

multiplies infinitely.

61. Pray for the world, and this prayer should be like a cloak that protects

humanity, like an antidote to war that is constantly coming closer and

bringing people down.

62. I bless all my creatures and leave them united in my outstretched arms.

63. Come to Me, you are shedding tears, I am the consolation. Love approaches

you because you are the creatures that need the caress of the father in their

wilderness to straighten up.

64. You all carry a cross on your shoulders so that you will be like Master

in them. But I don't want this cross to become an unbearable or arduous burden

because of your lack of understanding and exaltation.

65. The vicissitudes of life whip your life like hurricanes. But that love for the

Father and the trust that you have placed in Him give you peace of mind in the

trials and let you emerge victorious from them.

66. Whoever really trusts me will never be cheated.

67. The pain makes the hardened heart sensitive, it will let crystal clear water

gush out of the rocks. The tests keep the soul awake.

From The Book of True Life – Volume VIII - Teaching 241:57-67

The work of renewing and spiritualizing of humanity takes time

49. When you feel the delights of life, you attribute this pleasure to the

world. But I tell you: I want to see you happy. Therefore I send you those

moments of bliss. Because when the child smiles, the father smiles too.

Seek the healthy joys that do not disturb the soul and you will find Me in

them. Well, you, if you can smile in the midst of your suffering!

50. My fatherly gaze rests on your hearts, beloved children, and I see your

devotion. You have forgotten what is part of your material life and you feed

on my word to fill you with its essence and to feel my presence deep within

yourself. I reveal myself to you because I love you and want you to understand

my longing. Filled with gratitude, you humbly show Me your heart and tell Me:

"Master, read it like an open book and do your will in us. We will agree with

what you should have on us."

51. I see your faith and trust in my divinity. You know that I love you and grant

you everything that is just and for your benefit. Therefore you have trust and

ask me for assistance. It is a time of reparation in which you live, in which you

will not have perfect joys or lasting peace. This earth is not your fatherland.

You are temporary residents of the same and work out a better, higher life

than this depending on your merits.

52. On earth you will, when you are prepared, feel the peace of my spirit ─

that peace that you have enjoyed and that the rest of the world does not

know ─ that gentleness that exudes in my word ─ that glory that you have

experienced when you are raised in communion with me. The world does

not have this incentive, but it needs it, awaits it because it knows it has to

come, and some are preparing because they suspect that the time will come

when I come to them.

But I tell you: you will all have this peace, everyone will get to know the

light of truth. My word will spread and go from mouth to mouth, from home

to home and from one nation to another through my "workers". But I have

seen their slow progress, their fearfulness, with them and with the people,

and therefore my work has not got beyond the narrow limits into which they

have locked it, and this is not my will.

From The Book of True Life - Volume VIII – Teaching 241:49-52

The real joys come from the spirit
