Teaching 160:

1. The fruit of life, the sweet and digestible fruit for the Spirit, is what I give you in my word. Eat and feel that you are gathered around the table of the Lord. O prophets of the third time! Prepare yourselves so that you may see what is given to see only to those who are marked. While many of those who form this multitude here do not feel my presence in their hearts and minds, you can bear witness to your faces, a witness full of light and truth, both in content and form. Verily, I tell you, whenever one of you prepares inwardly, the Spirit penetrates into the light of spiritual life, where he saturates and inspires himself, so that he can then explain his vision to those who await his testimony.

2. When this people spiritualize and learn to feel my presence, they will no longer need the visionary to give them proof that my rallies were true. Then I will be able to say to you, "Blessed are those who believed without seeing.

3. The responsibility of the visionary is great and grave, for often the faith of many weak hearts, who seek proofs to be able to believe, depends on his word.

4. The shearer must develop great intuition to know whether what he sees in the Spirit is the fruit of good preparation or not; whether what he has seen should be testified to his brothers and sisters, or whether he should keep it secret. But how few of those who have received this gift have been able to promote it with the love, zeal and spiritualization it requires!

5. The gift of the seer is one of the most difficult, which is why I tell you that the seer's gaze can never penetrate the spiritual region without spiritualization.

6. Spiritualization means elevation of feelings, purity of life, faith, charity, mercy, humility before God and deep respect for the received gifts. If you can achieve any of these virtues, you begin to penetrate with your spiritual gaze into the home of love and perfection. Likewise, when you attain spiritualization, you can say already on earth that you live in the spiritual home, even if it is only in the moments of your prayer. At the same time you will receive the light that reveals to you events that lie in the future, since for the Spirit who soars up, what is to come is no longer a secret.

7. Yes, disciples, only in human life does man not know what will happen in the future, what will come tomorrow. He does not know his destiny, does not know the way he must go, and what his end will be.

8. Man could not endure the knowledge of all the trials he has to pass in his existence. Therefore, in my merciful love for him, I have placed that veil of mystery between his present and his future, thus preventing his mind from going astray in contemplation or in knowledge of all that he still has to experience and suffer through.

9. The Spirit, on the other hand, an entity endowed with power and created for eternity, has within himself the ability to know his future, the gift of knowing his destiny, and the strength to understand and (also) accept all the trials that await him, knowing that at the end of the journey, when it has been made in obedience to the law, he will reach the land of promise, the Paradise of the Spirit, which is the state of exaltation, purity, and perfection that he will have finally attained.

10. Take me as an example for your spiritualization, for for this purpose I became man then. Each of my works was a lasting teaching for men. But if my works were a teaching for mankind, you must also take them as an example for yourselves, so that you may develop yourselves higher and unfold the gifts of the Spirit and human abilities and come closer and closer to the example which I gave you with my life, my works and words.

11. Remember that I, as a human being, always knew what my destiny in this world was, that I knew the future and gave witness to it from childhood on. Through Jesus I spoke to my disciples about everything that would happen in the last days of my remaining on earth, what my passion and sacrificial death would be like. I revealed to mankind their spiritual future, foretold their struggles and their trials, proclaimed in advance what would happen in the nations from the times of those days until the time which I called my new revelation, which you call "the Second Coming.

12. The spiritualization of the body of Jesus allowed him to know his destiny because my Spirit revealed it to him, and this very spiritualization gave him the power to accept the Father's will with absolute love and humility.

13. you cannot reach the degree of spiritualization of your master to know what your destiny holds for you, what the future brings; but through your inner exaltation I will let you foresee the nearness of some event

You will attain this presentiment, this spiritual look into the future, this knowledge of your destiny, only to the extent that your being, consisting of body and Spirit, gradually develops higher on the way of spiritualization, which, to say it once more, is faith, sincerity, love of life, love and helpfulness for your neighbor, humility and love of your Lord.

15. To help you in the purification of your being, I transmit to you my thoughts, which, having become the word, you receive through the minds of my voicebearers and which show you a way to the light. I bless him who believes in this truth as I also bless him who doubts, because you are all my disciples, my much beloved children.

16. My teachings through this rallies will leave a road of spiritualization among men, which will remind my disciples that I have been with them in a new way to fulfill my promise.

17. This is the new day that the larks have greeted with their trilling to announce to mankind the presence of the Third Age.

18. My new revelation had been so announced that it was to coincide with the time of the battle between the upward striving of the Spirit and the materialization of the body shell, the time of the war between truth and lie, the battle between good and evil, between light and shadow.

19. Consider those of your fellow men who call themselves mighty. They want to triumph by killing, want to build their new empire on rubble, ruins and corpses.

20. To you I say that it is time to sow the seed of light and peace in the fields which you have made fertile with your love.

21. I seek the heart of man to deliver him from his tribulation and to deliver him from his confusion. For I will triumph by giving you eternal life, so that I can finally rule over the living.

22. My spiritual hosts are in the midst of the fight for the salvation of their brethren on earth, and verily, I say to you, they will not return defeated, but on the contrary, they will sing triumphal songs when they arrive.

23. I come to redeem you by the power of thought, without the need for my "Word" to become man anew to dwell among you. Why is it strange that my Spirit makes itself known to yours by thought? What is strange about the fact that the shepherd seeks his strayed sheep?

24. Verily I tell you, even before you existed I loved you, and knowing your fate, I had already thought of your salvation. Therefore it was my will to live together with men as man, because with my love I wanted to show you the way to the light, which would one day lead you to it, in eternity, to live in my father's house.

25. I revealed my divine power on earth through Jesus: I awakened Lazarus, converted Magdalene, restored sight to the physically and spiritually blind, instilled faith and hope in the hearts, opened a new way for the souls who were stagnant; and finally I watered the earth with my blood and left you my body as proof that I was among you out of love, to give myself completely to those whom I love very much.

26.  Today as then, I am giving myself to mankind in the Spirit to save you by making you useful; for the seed I have given you to sow is the seed of usefulness which will cause you to no longer be spiritual barren and parasites of life

27.  Do you still hesitate to go to work? Yes, my children, but what are years and centuries to you are but moments to me. I make use of time so that the fruit of love may ripen in the minds, hearts and souls.

28. This is the time when the divine light will shine fully in my followers, who will reveal the gifts of the Spirit and prove that they need neither earthly goods nor worldly sciences to do good and perform miracles. They will heal in my name, restore the hopelessly sick, turn the water into balm and raise the dead from their camp. Their prayer will have the power to calm the storms, to calm the forces of nature and to fight the epidemics and bad influences.

29. The possessed will be set free from their possessions, their persecutors and oppressors, through the word, prayer and authority of my new disciples.

30. But verily I say to you, when I see my people dressed up, I will let them know the hour in which they shall set out for the fight of light against darkness. And if you meet with rejection, remember with equanimity that this is not the first time that man has spurned my seed. Since the first times man has cut off branches from the "tree" in order to transplant them at his discretion, so that later he did not know their origin. But I want you to know that basically I am this tree - in my work, on which man is to have no influence at all, but from which he is only to receive the benefits and whose seed he is to spread.

31. The fight of good against evil does not only exist in your world; you can also meet it in the spiritual world, where great battles take place, whose influence reaches up to you and is reflected in wars. Do not allow the spiritual world, which has protected you up to now, to be replaced by beings with little light of knowledge. Watch over your steps and constantly invoke peace for this world in which you live.

32. Pray and work. Spiritualize so that you may triumph in all trials. Remember the teaching examples given to you by that people called Israel, who set out on the call of their Lord. They were led into the desert to learn a great lesson. There they learned the law, learned to communicate with their father, and awakened their spiritual gifts. He learned to obey the divine commandments, to orientate himself according to the law and to live together in harmony and brotherhood.

33. That obedience saved him from dangerous situations and ambushes. His unity made him strong against his adversaries. Its order made its crossing of the desert bearable and often also exhilarating. His perseverance and his faith made him achieve victory and experience the fulfillment of the divine promise. When the people of that time remember the history of that people, they marvel at the so great faith of those people and are surprised at the many miracles the Lord performed on their way. - When I hear the sighs of your chest in the face of that faith and spiritualization, I tell you that it is entirely up to man that those miracles come again. Whenever I see them prepared, I will reveal myself to them.

34. Now it is the task of all who are already prepared and awakened to proclaim the liberation of the world. Remember that Elijah, the promised one for this time, is currently preparing everything to rescue the nations of the earth, enslaved by materialism, from the power of Pharaoh, as Moses once did in Egypt with the tribes of Israel.

35. Tell your fellow men that Elijah has already made himself known through the human mind, that his presence has been in the Spirit, and that he will continue to illuminate the way of all nations so that they may advance.

36. Your Shepherd has the task of bringing all creatures back to their true way, whether it be spiritual, moral, or material. This is why I tell you that the nations will be blessed who, through Elijah, will receive the call of their Lord, for they will remain united by the law of justice and love which will bring them peace as the fruit of their understanding and brotherhood. United in this way, they will be led to the battlefield where they will fight against corruption, materialism and lies. In this struggle the people of this time will experience the new wonders and grasp the spiritual meaning of life - the one that speaks of immortality and peace. They will stop killing each other because they realize that all they have to do is destroy their ignorance, their selfishness and the corrupting passions from which their falls and hardships have arisen - both material and spiritual.

37. Where does idolatry and religious fanaticism come from, if not from ignorance of the laws governing the Spirit? What is the reason for the wars that sow confusion among peoples and destroy people, if not excessive greed or unrestrained hatred?

38. Understand therefore that the final war is not that of men against their own brethren, but that of good against evil. I lay down my sword in the rights of man, that he may defeat himself and reach the gates of the Promised Land. But do not expect this to be a particular fatherland that you receive as an inheritance, for you will discover this new Promised Land in the deep peace of your Spirit. You will experience the transformation of your previously insecure, hostile and miserable world into a lavishly rich and lovable land. You will have an existence where there is spirituality, justice and love. This will bring progress to the people as a result of being nourished by true knowledge. Human life will be superior, and when my Spirit makes itself known among the mature people of the future, a time of revelations will come in all fields, and you will see the signs and wonders fulfilled that earlier generations prophetically proclaimed to you.

39. When then the world attains its renewed liberation and, guided by the light of Elijah, enters into this righteous and good life, you will have here on earth a glimmer of the spiritual life which awaits you beyond this life, so that you may then enjoy eternally the peace and light of your Father. - But when you ask yourselves how all nations will unite in one single people, like those tribes that formed the people of Israel, I tell you: do not worry, because once the nations are all brought into the "desert", the visitations will forge them together, and when this happens, a new manna will fall from heaven on all needy hearts.

40. Rejoice in my presence, beloved people, establish a feast in your heart, rejoice with joy, for at last you have seen the day of the Lord coming. You were afraid of the coming of this day, for you still thought as the ancients did, and thought that your father's heart was vengeful, that he resented the insults he had received, and that for this reason he kept ready the sickle, the scourge, and the cup of suffering, to take revenge on those who had insulted him so much and so many times. But great was your surprise when you realized that in the Spirit of God neither wrath, fury nor disgust can exist, and though the world sobs and laments as never before, the reason is not that the Father has given it this fruit to eat and this cup to drink, but that this is the harvest that mankind is reaping little by little by virtue of its works.

41. Though all the evil events that were unleashed at this time were announced to you beforehand But do not think, because they were announced to you, that your Lord is sending them to you as punishment. On the contrary, at all times I have warned you of evil, of temptations, and have helped to raise you up from your falls. I have also provided you with all the means necessary for you to save yourselves. But you must also recognize that you have always been deaf and unbelieving in the face of my calls.

42. Even today I say to you: make use of my work as if it were an ark and enter into it so that you may be safe from the approaching storms. But you will experience that many will not believe my warning and will not prepare themselves. But when the test comes and whips them, the first thing they will say is that I have taken revenge on them and chastised them.

43. Hear my word, O people, and rejoice in his goodness. Open your hearts and you will feel the visitation of your father. Confess before me in Spirit and you will feel a peace that you will never want to lose again.

44. How could you have expected me, when you were full of violence, and my coming caused you terror instead of infinite joy? I tell you once more that you have nothing to fear from me, but through yourselves all kinds of evils can strike you. Fear, then, the atonement that you may incur because of your transgressions.

45. Though I am implacably watchful, I am just, sincere, and incorruptible. Since you have come forth from me pure, I consider it just that you must return in the same state. I have taught you that the defiled cannot come to me. It must first purify itself, and that is what is happening in this time in the world.

46. In Jesus the world saw its incarnate God. Men received from Him only lessons of love, teachings of infinite wisdom, proofs of perfect righteousness, but never a word of violence, an act or a sign of resentment. How much he was insulted and mocked, however. He had power and all violence in his hand, such as the whole world does not have, but it was necessary that the world should know its Father in his true nature, his justice and mercy.

47. In Jesus, the world saw a Father who gives everything for His children without asking anything in return - a Father who forgives the most serious insults with infinite love, without ever seeking revenge, and a Father who, instead of taking the lives of his children who insult Him, forgives them and, with His blood, shows them the way to their spiritual salvation.

48. How could it be that at this time when I am revealing myself to men in the Spirit, I should blot out from their hearts the conception they have of the loving and righteous Father, which they have created for themselves of me during their life on earth?

49. You must prepare yourselves, for I bring justice for all prepare yourselves, for the majesty with which I am setting myself should not make your hearts afraid, but should be an occasion for rejoicing and joy

50. Watch and pray that you may be at my side in the battle that is coming nearer.

51. See how my light rends the mists of your world. Though I fight against men, but only to wipe out all evil that lives in their hearts. I will put the light and the power of my love in those who faithfully follow me, and they will then say, "Let us seek the dragon that lies in wait for us, the beast that leads us to sin and offend the Lord. They will seek it on the seas, in the desert, on the mountains, in the forests and in the invisible, and will not find it because it lives in the heart of man. Only this has begotten it, and there it has grown until it has ruled the earth.

52. When the blinking of my lightsaber shakes the heart of every man, the violence that proceeds from evil will become weaker and weaker until it vanishes. Then you will say: "Lord, with the divine power of Your mercy I have defeated the dragon, whom I believed to lie in wait from the invisible, without thinking that I carried him in my own heart.

53. When once wisdom shines in all men - who will dare to turn good into evil again? Who then will still give up what is eternal for what is transitory? Verily, I say to you: No one, for you will all be strong in divine wisdom.

54. Sin is only the result of ignorance and weakness.

55. Therefore I invite you to attend my divine teaching so that you may become true children of light

56. A new age has opened before mankind. While the world sleeps without perceiving the light that illuminates it, rejoicing and festivity reigns in the spiritual. Spirit has poured out upon every spirit and upon all flesh in this time.

57. The new seed of Abraham is scattered, and he must be reunited to receive my new spiritual teaching. The wars, destruction, chaos and death have not been enough to make mankind understand that my righteousness has come down to call them to the way of my law. The messengers I have sent are asleep, and in the world they strive only for comforts, welfare, and earthly goods; they have hidden the ideal of spiritual eternity. The voice of conscience has spoken to them, but its cry has faded away in the materialism of the mind and the human heart. I have allowed all the pain, bitterness, hatred, and mercilessness to overflow, but at the same time I have reminded men of my law of love and justice and made them realize that my coming was foretold for a time like this.

58. An insignificant corner of the earth was chosen by me for my rallies. Simple men and women were chosen at this time to serve as mediators for my rallies, who were fortunate enough to be the first to hear my Divine Words in this Third Age. Inexorably and by virtue of the spiritual meaning of this word and the miracles I performed among my children, that first group of people was transformed into a crowd and later into a large community.

59. My word has struggled to free these hearts from material entanglements, from selfishness and hypocrisy, also to free them from vices and ignorance. This is the only cross I have put on their shoulders; but these are only the first steps. I told this people that the day would come when they would do amazing works with their eyes, with their word or with their thoughts. When will these events occur? - When there is spiritualization among you.

60. The united thoughts of a large group of people will be able to bring down the evil influences and push the idols from their pedestals.

61. Today you still tremble under the influence of war and in the face of the raging of the forces of nature, fearing the judgment of men. The reason for this is that you feel small and incapable because of the insufficient development of your spiritual gifts.

62. Blessed is he who prepares himself, for he will be the brave soldier in this battle who will emerge victorious in the end. What forces do you think they are that fight each other? You answer me with human speculations, but I tell you that it will be the forces of good and evil that will confront each other in the decisive battle. Which of these powers do you think will prevail? You tell me: "Undoubtedly the power of good, Master. And indeed, if you love one another, the good will defeat the evil in you.

63. I once showed you to overcome the temptations of the world and death, so that love and truth will emerge victorious. Now I want you to follow me, to drive out the passions from your hearts so that there, in your inner being, the peace of the Divine Spirit may enter, and you invite me to have my sanctuary in you. But then, when you have conquered evil, you will be surprised to realize that you have created temptation through your passions, inclinations, weaknesses and sins, and when you have conquered it, you have killed that dominating influence in you.

64. Earn merits to obtain peace, people, but do not ask me for this peace without having fought first to earn it. The time has gone on, your Spirit has grown, and he must now work for all that he desires and needs. His childhood, the age when the father had to provide his children with everything, is over.

65. I will prove to mankind that their problems will not be solved by force, and as long as they make use of destructive and murderous weapons, they will not be able to make peace among men, however terrible and powerful these weapons may seem. On the contrary, as a consequence they will only arouse greater hatred and more desire for revenge. Only conscience, reason and the feelings of charity will be able to be the foundations on which the age of peace rests. But in order for this light to shine in the interior of men, they must first empty the cup of suffering to the last drop.

66. Do not become fainthearted, disciples, when you hear rumors of war, when you see hunger and misery coming, and the most strange plagues appear.

67. In the bottom of your heart you will have the certainty that mankind will drink the sediment of the cup of suffering when these afflictions come. You should not remain inactive or indifferent at that hour; on the contrary, you should then devote yourselves to your task of bringing light to the mind of the confused and healing balm to the sick.

68. Watch and pray, people, so that the influences of that power of evil, in which human passions resurface and the confused spirits do their mischief, do not cloud the light which I have given to your understanding.

My peace be with you!
