Teaching 165:

1. Rest for a while, beloved people, leave your tiredness with me. My caring love has called you to come to the Master. I only ask you to cleanse your minds from prejudice so that the essence of my Word may be received by your hearts and my presence may be felt by your Spirit. Because of this lack of preparation and spiritualization you have not understood many of the teachings I have given you. For an indefinite time you come here as beginners, although you would have to be disciples already if you had studied my word and applied my teaching.

2. Understand: If you want to control your passions and reject the attraction that the world exerts on you, you can find in my word the light and the strength to do it.

3. He who is content with this and seeks to appease his conscience by only listening to me will soon fall back into his lethargy and be in danger of succumbing to temptation. Therefore, my word encourages and lifts up those who fall on the way.

4. As the star at that time announced the coming of the Messiah, so at that time the Spirit of Elijah announced my coming by his light. My caring love prepared this spot of earth for you to receive the revelation of the Third Age. Today the world does not yet know these teachings, but in due time the good news will reach all mankind. Through the gift of intuition, it senses the spiritual significance of this epoch. There are many who can recognize in the great events of this time the confirmation and fulfillment of the prophecies of past times.

5. People, recognize how much grace is bestowed upon you, and yet there are still those among these audiences who doubt my rallies and attribute my word to the voice-bearers. What could these give you, since they are as ignorant as you, and you saw them coming out of your own ranks? Some of them, because of their lack of spiritualization, are flesh and again flesh, sinners like you. But when my light illuminates them, when my ray inspires them, they are transformed by a miracle of my love and power.

6. You are still like a city that sleeps, whose inhabitants give themselves up to their need of rest, not hearing if anyone groans, if anyone needs help, protection, balm or bread. At present you still forget the people and think only of yourselves. But if you forget the people whom you see and whose tribulations you can directly experience - how much more have you forgotten those who are in the Spirit and carry with them a sorrowful chain of bitterness! Be aware that your task is that of vigilance, prayer and intercession for all your brothers and sisters, both present and absent, distant or near, visible and invisible.

7. In this time I am letting you pass through a crucible so that, when you have passed through it, you may be the spice of the world, the light that illuminates the dark ways

8. My voice full of majesty calls mankind to shake them out of their lethargy so that you all may become a part of My beloved people

9. I entrust to you the key that opens the door behind which are many of the revelations you wish to experience Make use of this key and learn to open the door to the kingdom so that you may know all that you have thought to be an unfathomable secret.

10. Nor are you yet able to comprehend many of the revelations which are destined to be part of your knowledge, and of which men have assumed that their knowledge belongs to God alone. As soon as someone expresses his desire to interpret them or to penetrate them, he is immediately called blasphemous or is considered presumptuous.

11. What would men of old have said if they had been told that mankind would one day know all that you know, both in terms of science and spiritual revelations? Anyone who would have announced such events would have been called blasphemous, or would have been considered insane.

12. It will also happen in this time that - when the dialogue from Spirit to Spirit, the establishment of peace throughout the world, and the knowledge of the hereafter is announced - the materialistic world will rise up against it, denying with all its might the possibility of achieving such goals, and will condemn with severity those who dare to announce such events.

13. If mankind had studied and fathomed the words and announcements made by the prophets of former times, they would have found in them much of what you see becoming reality now - of what mankind is experiencing now.

14. The conception you have attained of the spiritual has been foretold to you, as have all that your science has discovered.

15. Today I can assure you that in the future communication by thought will reach a great unfolding, and through this means of communication many barriers will disappear which still today separate peoples and worlds. When you learn to connect with your Father in thought, when you reach the dialogue from Spirit to Spirit, what could still cause you difficulties in communicating with your brothers and sisters, visible or invisible, present or absent, near or far?

16. In my teaching you are currently learning this form of spiritual communication as I have taught you. So that you may practice it daily, I have advised you to be still, to close your lips and let your Spirit speak.

17. I want you to be my good and humble disciples, those who do not claim any appointments or honors within the community, but that your ideal is only to achieve perfection through virtue and to follow my instructions so that your life may become an example. What use could there be for you places of honor, titles or names, if you have no merits to rightfully possess them?

18. Do nothing and hold fast to nothing that is wrong. The order of precedence among you I make without you knowing it, for only I know when you have taken a firm step on the path of development. Always feel small, even if you are basically already a master.

19. Great is the love I have for you, and this love, which you have already felt in your hearts, wants to awaken you so that you rise to fulfill the Father's commission.

20. Through simple men I give you My Word which, like a fine chisel, smoothes and shapes your Spirit.

21. I want you to maintain the ideal of sincerity that my law has always inspired men, so that it may help you to persevere in struggle until you have established brotherhood and spiritualization in the world.

22. Each one of you understands me according to the spiritual maturity level he has attained. Therefore I reveal myself in different ways so that all may receive my light and be able to grasp my teachings.

23. Do not stop on your spiritual path of development. Be aware that I reveal myself more and more strongly in your progress, and that you receive me with greater glory in every step of your development.

24. Even if those who transmit my word should succumb in battle, I will make myself known to my people. For truly, I say to you, I do not want you to lack this teaching. Remember: While you have been listening to me, strength has flowed to you so that your faith may help you to overcome the obstacles that are set in your path of life. I will prepare you to leave you as witnesses of my rallies, and that you may serve as an example to your fellow men when you witness with your works the teaching you have received.

25. Learn and act, teach and feel what you do and say, confirm my teaching by your works. I want no hypocrites among my disciples. Think what would become of mankind and yourselves if this work, founded with so much love and patience, were to be brought down by lack of morality, virtue and truthfulness in your lives.

26. See how epochs of purification have passed over mankind, and still there is no renewal in it. Remember that there are men and peoples who have struggled to make lasting peace, but it has not come, rather the bloody wave continues to spread. The reason for this is that there is no love and sincerity among people. They have not understood how to meet each other in charity, and that is why I have brought my peace and my word, which calls the minds of men to unity and mutual love.

27. You who hear me in these inconspicuous places of assembly - unite, love each other as "workers" on one and the same "farmland", have the same goal, and this goal shall be the salvation of mankind.

28. Seek the essence of my work and refrain from superfluous discussions. Begin by cleansing yourselves of shame, then you will not defile what is clear and pure. In this way you will encourage your fellow men to correct their imperfections.

29. Love yourselves as Jesus taught you. Free yourselves from selfishness, put your own person aside.

30. You must not depart from this world without first having accomplished your work of peace and love. This is to be the testimony you bear of me, and the right way to make good a debt you have with me.

31. This I tell you through simple people, through the "last", through those who were forgotten on their way of life by the people who heard the call of the Master and struggled to follow Him. But this trace which I leave you with my word is the same as that which I marked out for you in the Second Time, and the same as that which I left for you in the First Time through Moses.

32. Seek me beyond material appearances, seek me in the spiritual, even if you can find me symbolized in all created things. Let it be the eyes of your Spirit that see my presence.

(3333. veil that prevents them from seeing their Father. If it were not so, they would think of the transitoriness of this life and of the value of spiritual life. They would guess at that world of perfection which is beyond death.

34. If men were humble in spirit and in heart, peace would be with them, for peace is founded in humility, not in false megalomania, nor in vain glory. But men are divided into classes, and while some possess all comforts, others perish in misery.

Therefore there is no peace.

But all those self-glories will be eliminated by my justice, and men will then recognize each other as brothers and sisters, as children of the same Father.

35. The caring love of your Lord has entrusted to you the golden wheat, that you may increase it through your work on earth. It is the seed of a work which I began long ago in the Spirit of man and which will give him true peace.

36. Bless you who have heard my word in these times, for in him you will find the sure way. But you are not only to hear it, but to fathom it, to interpret it correctly, so that when you teach it to your fellow men, you do not sow confusion in their hearts.

37. Your Spirit must wait until his flesh is purified and renewed, so that he may go to the fulfillment of his mission. Then you will be one being, both spiritually and physically, an obedient and obedient instrument through which the spiritual gifts the Father has granted him will be revealed. Do not act like those who - without having understood and fathomed my teaching on spiritualization, without having the necessary preparation and maturity - set out and call themselves "laborers" without realizing that the seed they plant is not really mine.

38. Remember that it took those twelve disciples of the Second Time a certain time to finally understand the teaching of their Master. They received many teachings and were subjected to many trials. They were constantly questioned by me, and every one of their weaknesses or imperfections was touched and corrected by my word, so that in them purity and truth might come through; and yet they needed a time of preparation to make my teaching known.

39. What will I not have to do all these things with you, my disciples, who live in a much more materialistic time than that which was?

40. Understand now why I have taught you so long, and why I test you continually.

41. While I only said to Andrew, Simon, and John, when they saw me for the first time, "Follow me," and they followed me, I had to speak to you much during this time, so that faith might finally break through in your hearts.

42. I want you to find in those apostles the example that encourages you in your daily work, and you understand that when they went out and preached my word, peace and love had already entered into their hearts, and there was no more unfairness in them.

43. There was not one who sowed a seed which was not mine, or who committed an act by which his fellows could have been confused. The reason for this was that they in their turn waited like fruits until they were ripe on the tree of life, and then offered themselves in purity to the desire of hearts hungry for knowledge of the truth.

44. Today, on the other hand, you set out with the claim of being masters, when you were not even able to learn the first lesson. You want to save your fellow men while you are still in danger of falling; and you speak of purity, of sincerity, of spiritualization, while you have not even cast off your vices.

45. This is the reason why many of you have come back to me weeping, complaining that you have been called deceivers, because you could not heal a sick person, because you did not convince an unbeliever, or because you were caught doing acts inappropriate for my work. As a result, some devote themselves to studying my teaching and improving their lives so as not to fail again, while others continue in their unfair actions of sowing confusion, and still others, discouraged by the defeats they have suffered, leave the path and deny the truth of my work.

46. I wanted to bring you forward step by step by teaching your spirit page by page in my teachings of love, for there is no longer any way but that of the (necessary) development of the Spirit. - Verily, I tell you, you cannot find anything on earth that is holier for you than one of your neighbors.

47. This my teaching gives you the knowledge of what the Spirit, the conscience, the sensations, the faith is and should mean to you. Whenever one of you gets to know these teachings, he feels that respect and deep love for his fellow men flows out of his heart, because in each one of them he can recognize something of the presence of God, he recognizes a child of the Most High, in each one of his neighbors and in the inside of each person he sees the temple of the Lord.

48. Whoever understands all this knowledge and considers it secure - would he dare to desecrate this temple, and would he be able to offend this fellow man?

49. This is the lesson which I want you to comprehend, for when this happens, you will be only a step away from obeying the highest commandment, which tells you, "Love one another.

50. How can you call yourselves spiritualists if you do not know what a Spirit is, and what it means and is worth to God?

51. Think over all that I have told you so that your body shell may merge with your Spirit into one will and allow it to reveal itself and fulfill its mission. You will then experience that each of your spiritual gifts is a light and a power to which the stiffest necks and the hardest hearts will bow. And when they receive a proof of true spirituality, they will exclaim with emotion: "These really act according to the teaching of Jesus, these really preach the truth!

52. Take this hour as that of your fellowship with the Father. Speak to me spiritually, I hear you, O people. Lay down with me all the sufferings you receive from the world. Wash away the stains of your soul with your tears. You will experience how weeping and prayer will make the burden of your heart lighter and lighter for you. Then I will pour out My grace on you, through which I will give you the feeling of strength.

53. If you call yourselves Trinitarians because you have studied my teachings thoroughly and bear witness to them with your works, there can be no lack of light, strength and peace in you.

54. I have set in you the divine seal, which makes you heirs of the wisdom which is kept in the book of my divinity, and he who carries this light in him cannot fall.

55. It is the Father of all times who is speaking to you at this time. It is the same one who revealed the Law to you through Moses, who made you hear the voice of the "Word" in Christ, and who now sent you Elijah in the Spirit to prepare men, because in this time they are to learn to hold inner dialogue with the HolySpirit, which I myself am. Whoever comes into communion with me will discover that I am the Father Himself and at the same time he whom you call the Son: it is the Word of the love of the Godhead. The Trinity of God does not mean diversity of Spirit, but of qualities or powers.

56. Law, love, wisdom - these are the three forms of revelation in which I have shown myself to man, so that on his path of development he may have a firm conviction and a complete knowledge of his Creator. These three phases of revelation differ from one another, but they all have one and the same origin, and in their totality they are the absolute perfection.

57. On various occasions I have already told you: why do you want to recognize three divine beings when you can find only one? A single Voice has spoken to you at all times, a single Divine Spirit has revealed Himself to you. This unique, eternal voice, which has announced my law to you in various forms of expression, is the one that you also carry imprinted in your conscience, and whose essence you should also preserve in your hearts. But instead of loving me in Spirit and in truth, as my teaching has taught you, you love me in materialistic cult forms and representations, because you cannot comprehend your Creator in any other way.

58. When I stamped my law in a stone - who would have doubted that those tablets were sacred, since they contained the divine commandment? Nevertheless, I withdrew those stone tablets from man's sight and left him only the knowledge of my law.

59. Christ was born, lived and died in poverty, purity and perfection, and you would have wished that He had remained on earth forever. Therefore you had the desire to immortalize him in images, made by human hands. But you must understand that his human appearance disappeared to leave to the Spirit of man only the purest essence of his word and works, which were the perfect expression of divine love. Today, when I have revealed myself in Spirit and manifested myself through organs of mind prepared by me - what can you materialize of my third revelation? Do you hope to deify objects, places, or persons? No, from this time of my spiritual rallies you are to keep only the infinite light which I have poured out upon you, the light of eternal wisdom. If you would seek love and wisdom in the Law of the First Time, you would find them; if you would seek the Law and wisdom in the love of Jesus, you would find them, and if you would seek to find the Law and love in the wisdom that my Spirit has poured out on all creatures in this Third Time, you can discover them in their essence. Recognize that all divine virtues and powers form a single essence, and this is God.

60. Explore the teaching I have given you. In it the love I have for mankind is revealed.

61. With my teaching I form your heart, using simple men Let the disciples of spiritualism keep my teaching in all its purity, for it will be the one who consolidates peace and brotherhood among men.

62. The religious symbols will disappear, for man must no longer limit me so that his work may be worthy of the Father.

63. By listening to me without meaningful-material forms of representation, you have formed in yourselves a new character. Your mind has awakened, and your morals have been strengthened.

64. For the future I want to have men and women of conviction - disciples who preach by their example, not hypocrites, because your fall for lack of morality and truthfulness, for lack of peace and strength of soul would be very painful.

65. See how humanity, which has passed through the ages through the purifying crucible and the atoning trials by fire, is still unable to consolidate its peace The bloody trail is getting longer and longer because people have forgotten my word. There is no sincerity, no trust, no helpfulness and no love.

66. But here I am with my new message of unity and peace, with my simple word, which after heavy struggle will work the miracle of uniting the minds and hearts of men. Are there still those who ask why I have come?

67. Also in this time many were called and only few were chosen, but with me there are no favored ones. For it is man who makes himself worthy of his Lord and acquires a right to his grace.

68. To all I have given my teaching in the same way; to all I have taught to walk in this way and to live in this valley of tears. Understand me rightly: not only you must live under this law, but the whole world. But it will be my disciples, scattered all over the world, who will implant it by their morals and example.

69. Fulfill your task already now and do not allow time to pass for the Spirit without the Spirit using it, for then the moment of regret might come.

70. This is the reason why I make use of the humble ones, of those who were lost in the ways of life, who heard the saving voice of their Lord and willingly set out to follow him. These are you, the "last", because you serve me in the third time.

71. I send you my peace, but verily, I tell you, as long as there are men who possess all necessities of life and forget those who die of hunger, there will be no peace on earth.

72. Peace does not lie in human glories nor in riches. It is based on good will, on mutual love, service, and respect for one another. O, if only the world could understand these teachings! Hatred would disappear, and love would blossom in the human heart.

73. Only my love and my justice can protect today those who hunger and thirst for it. I alone can receive in my perfect justice the one who goes against his own existence.

74. If these knew that the abandonment of the soul is more terrible than the loneliness in this world, they would patiently and courageously persevere until the last day of their earthly existence

75. In these words I have given you my fatherly love. Witness my truth with your works.

76. Love one another.

My peace be with you.
