Teaching 223:

1. I have come down to you to seek you, because you have been walking for a long time off the path and do nothing to find the true way.

2. My presence as master had been lacking in you, and that is why I tuned in with you to give you courage, strength and faith to fight for your salvation

3. A great spiritual ignorance envelops mankind; it is not aware of its destiny and its responsibility on earth, and that is why it has gone astray.

4. Man does not know who he is, and therefore he does not know how much he holds in his soul. He has been content to unfold his human abilities. But he has not taken note of those of the soul because of his lack of interest in that which is uplifting and noble.

5. How could man thus discover the abilities he carries within him?

6. It has been necessary to approach Me to your heart to shake you out of the deep spiritual lethargy into which you were immersed and to remind you that you are not only matter, that you are not meaningless and even less pariahs

7. When you heard My Word, you said to Me with joy: "Lord, is it possible that so many gifts are present in our being? Then you began to understand something of who you are and what you mean in the universe.

8. Sometimes you doubt the gifts of which I have told you that you are their owners But I tell you that your doubt comes from not having developed them, so they cannot reveal themselves in the way you want them to.

9. Though there are cases in which you can accomplish amazing works by faith alone But you must know that it was my love that granted you that miracle to strengthen your faith, though you yourselves would not yet have been able to accomplish that work.

10. The unfolding of the soul's abilities takes a long time; also for this you are not satisfied with a single earthly body, nor is a single existence on earth enough for you. But my providence, which is in everything, makes always new bodies available to every soul, in which it can continue its unfolding, and helps it in its perfection so that it can reach the place, which is intended for it. I tell you this because I have caught you thinking that what you have achieved is very little compared to what you were told you had, and then doubts arise in your heart and despondency seizes you.

11. Through what I have now told you, you will now be able to understand that it will not be possible for you to fully develop the gifts with which your soul is endowed For since they belong to a being that belongs to eternity and is a part of infinity, it is only natural that in such a short life, as it is the life of man on earth, you will not come so far as to experience the full development of some of your abilities.

12. Nevertheless, i must explain to you that, because you know that in the present existence you cannot achieve the greatest unfolding of your gifts, you must not slacken in your zeal to attain your higher development. On the contrary, ─ consider that if you could experience the full unfolding of your spiritual gifts in a single existence, they would be very small.

13. I ask of you only that you take a step forward in each incarnation, but that this step is a firm step toward perfection. Then it will be your soul that will perceive its progress, as it reveals itself with ever greater wisdom through those bodies that are entrusted to it at any given time.

14. Now you are in the preparatory phase: all the gifts that you possess have already been revealed to you through my word, and you have been made aware of the task that you have to fulfill on your soul's path of development.

15. You have already been tested by the trials to which a soul must be subjected in order to receive a message or a divine revelation All that is missing is that you begin your unfolding, trusting that your path will be illuminated by the light of conscience, which will always tell you what to do.

16. You would like your dialogue from Spirit to Spirit to be perfect, that the gift of vision would be fully revealed, that the power of healing would allow you to perform a miracle in every case, and that the gift of the Word would blossom on your lips and overflow with consolation, wisdom and prophecy. But when you are convinced that you are still far from reaching those heights, you become sad, you become dumb and mopey. Why then, disciples? Do you not understand that much of what you wish to achieve depends on your preparation?

17. Surely you know what preparation the disciple must have in order to be able to replenish himself with the fruit of his spiritualization, and what it consists in to live a pure life: the readiness to pray, to serve your fellow men, to resist temptations, so that, when you need your spiritual strength and your gifts to accomplish some work of love, you may find your being ready and therefore have the satisfaction of seeing the miracle which you have implored from the Father in your prayer become a reality.

18. Then you will be able to see the first rays of light of the Great Day, which has long since been announced by prophets and messengers. You will be able to feel how I come down in Spirit to speak to you of Eternal Life, which awaits you all because you are all destined for the same.

19. I penetrate into the innermost part of your being to prove to you that there are no barriers nor obstacles for me, which prevent my light from reaching the bottom of your soul.

20. I tell men that ─ since they have gone through the earthly life without caring about the duties and the task of the soul ─ I send them this message of wisdom so that they may prepare themselves and enter the spiritual life when the call goes out to everyone.

21. I say to them Since they have blocked the way of the soul here on earth, they are to at least allow it to prepare itself for the time when it no longer needs an earth body.

22. Do you think that life is limited to your existence on earth? Do you think that my law and teaching only illuminate your life on earth? No, you crowds of people who hear my word: I did not enact the Divine Law for your body, I enlightened your soul with it.

23. I know why I speak to you in this way. For my gaze discovers among the crowd those people who need me to speak to them in this way.

24. These are the materialists who see no further than their eyes can see, who do not believe that beyond their intellect and senses eternity, truth, wisdom, begins.

25. Those who are already beginning to admit that the spirit soul reigns in their works, in their thoughts, and in their whole life ─ those who are already beginning to free their soul from everything that binds them to the world, have no need that I speak to them in this way. They too came materialized to the rallies of my word, without understanding what they heard, without grasping its meaning, and I also haunted them in that which they loved most in life.

26. The kingdom of the Spirit is infinite; but in order to attain the exaltation that enables you to enjoy it and live in it, it is necessary to know the way and to have light to ascend to it. But do not think that I hold your earthly life in contempt: no, disciple. Why should I disdain it, since I have prepared it for you! Understand that life on the material world is also a part of life in the spiritual, infinite and eternal kingdom.

27. Strictly speaking, the purpose that my Word is to fulfill among you is to show you the sure path on which you must walk to attain spiritualization.

28. When I speak to you of spiritual life, I do not only refer to the existence of disembodied souls, but I make you understand that spiritual life is everywhere because everything comes out of it.

29. Only the light of that life will be able to reveal the truth to you; only in it men will be able to understand all that what they see and need to experience.

30. Those who insist on not wanting to know the life of the soul will only be poor beings who will live on earth without aim and stumble and fall without realizing that at the bottom of their being they carry with them the key to the door of eternity and also the light that can illuminate the way for them, which leads to peace, wisdom and happiness.

31. But my mercy wakes them from their deep sleep, raises the "last" so that they may assist the "first" in their struggle of this time against materialism ─ in all that they were not able to do.

32. The world is prepared and purified by pain and awaits the disciples of the Divine Master. Humanity is going through an hour of trial.

33. Understand the greatness of your mission.

34. I will light your way when your light is darkened for a short time, so that your soul does not stumble or go astray. For you are the messengers of peace, the owners of an eternal revelation.

35. Your form of worship shall no longer be defiled by foreign influences, nor shall you again be put into spiritual bondage.

36. Men shall not hang up before your eyes the image of their Lord, because they have not yet been able to discover my true image, though they have it within them.

37. In every man there is a hereafter, a secret treasury, something infinite, a secret. There is the sanctuary where the Father dwells, whose door is closed, because you have not been able to penetrate into your inner being. Man has not been able to discover the true sanctuary that he carries within himself. He only looks outward and feels only the outside. It is the body and the physical senses.

38. This is the time when all mankind is spiritually asleep. There is not a single religious community that offers true worship to its God. You are to set out to bring my word and bear witness to me by your example. Without works of love, my teaching will have no persuasive power on your lips.

39. I will send you to the nations when I see you prepared, when there is truthfulness in your soul and in your "flesh". Then you will be able to solve the great conflicts, you will be able to cross great hurricanes without being carried away, you will be able to withstand storms and pass through thick fog, because you already open your eyes to a higher light than any human science.

40. Since you are humble, you are destined to lift many veils in the face of philosophers and scholars. For all you shall be peace, comfort, and salvation.

41. In all the peoples of the earth I am currently giving signs of my new rallies through intuition and dreams. The echo of my footsteps is already being heard.

42. Understand how much I love you: why do you fear Me? He who is within my law has nothing to fear from Me.

43. You listen to Me with reverence and devotion and yet you fear Me. The reason is that your conscience tells you that you are not yet doing perfect works.

44. Fulfill your duty to your God and to your neighbor, pay your debt of thanksgiving, and you shall all be received of the Lord.

45. If some stop on the way because of clumsiness, lack of study, lack of spiritualization, or ignorance, let not the others also stop. But give your support to him who has fallen, and wake up him who is asleep.

46. Verily, I say to you, the "first" will not reach true perfection on this earth, and neither will you, even if you continue on the way. After that others will come, who will make a further step forward, and after them others, who will go still further, and so on. But while these progress in their development you will already have ascended spiritually as spirit beings. Which is why I tell you that the "first" must always pave the way for the "last.

47. Soon you will leave this earth body, and when you then enter the spiritual world, you will convince yourselves that your way of life on this earth has not been useless, and that the knowledge of spiritualism, when you leave the body, enabled you to spread the wings of the soul to get close to your father.

48. Nourish the hope of this new life, then you will be comforted in the misfortunes that you are now suffering in this valley of tears, blood and death

49. Make your fellow men my disciples See how the "last" understands my word immediately. Understand that you must not offer him bad fruit.

50. Mankind now reaches a certain spiritual maturity to understand my work.

51. After 1950, this teaching will not be forgotten, but will blossom. The work will become more intense, and the books of gold will be opened so that wisdom will flow from them, and you will learn to understand what you have not understood before. The writings containing my principles and my parables will be carried from province to province, from home to home and from heart to heart.

52. Then you will see how many will give you a good welcome and will welcome you with open arms, because their soul will long to see the Father on his true altar.

53. You are to pass on my teachings, using examples of teaching and commandments of Moses, recalling the words of Jesus and what I have revealed to you in this "Third Age", uniting all into one work.

54. A "war" of world views and teachings will break out in the world. But I will see to it that this movement leads you to the light.

55. My light is on the whole earth. Everywhere on it I will awaken men and women through whom I will make myself known.

56. This nation in which you live will have a great mission in this time and in times to come. In the greatest pain and in the great trials it will be a bulwark, it will give light and peace and be a support for other nations. Your heart will free itself from selfishness and advantageousness and will change into a charitable and brotherly one.

57. All religious communities will be judged, and the most powerful will be the most afflicted. You do not know which of them will take their throne of glory on their shoulders, to take it to other lands in flight from my justice.

58. Today I want to tell you that no material churches nor altars of fanaticism shall be built among you. The rite and tradition will disappear. Neither priests nor clergymen shall rise before you.

59. You shall have no authority or any power to confer the title of saint upon any human being.

60. Those who attain a strong spiritual union with my divinity shall be the most humble.

61. The time has come when no stone is left upon another of imperfect worship, when the only church is within man, the altar in his heart, the offering in his works, the lampstand in his faith, and the bell in his call, which wakes the sleeping souls

62. I speak to you lovingly so that you may recognize Me by this love.

63. You are little creatures whom I lead on the way of spiritual upward development, and to whom I forgive their faults so that they learn to forgive their neighbor.

64. Fathom my word syllable by syllable, that you may be strong spiritually and be like a staff among men.

65. I have given you of my light, with which you shall be able to enlighten your brethren. With this power you will, like Jesus, free the souls of darkness that populate the world, bound and confused.

66. My light surrounds and envelops everything because you have all come forth out of My Spirit. You belong to Me, and to Me you must return.

67. Do not think that I come only for the sake of the people of Israel. It is true that from the first times I have given you laws, orders and instructions to make you my disciples who must teach mankind, who must be the sight of the blind, the rod of the lame, the healing balm of the leper. Therefore, I have left you only as older brothers and sisters.

But I want you also to understand that when I speak of those sufferings, I speak of the blindness of the soul, of the lack of mental agility or freedom, and of the leprosy, which is vice and sin. Know that it is your soul that I want to save, although your body is also worthy of my mercy. But to this one I give all this in addition.

68. There is a great healing power in your soul, which has not fully revealed itself because of lack of faith and trust in this gift.

69. The soul is clothed with my grace, but it stumbles through the weakness of the flesh Strive for harmony and agreement between your soul and your body so that you may do my will.

70. My word is crystal clear water that refreshes you so that you may no longer thirst in this world.

71. Humanity seeks and loves Me within its religious communities and sects, and it receives my caress and my light

72. Souls are on different levels of the ladder, but I love them all equally and give them the means to reach the summit In the same way, you are to love your fellow men without regard to the degree of spiritual ascent they possess.

73. I want you to open your heart completely, so that you may prepare my dwelling place in it and light the torch of faith there. I want to teach you to feel the pain of others as if it were your own.

74. The "tribes" of this "people" will unite spiritually before the great hardships announced come.

75. You must now acquire merits so that the world may obtain light in its path and you may spiritually fight the selfishness and hatred that have again taken hold of the hearts of men.

76. Bless him who hears me and opens the doors of his heart, for he will be my good disciple.

77. Give space in your heart to faith, hope and charity, so that in it there may be absolute trust in your Lord, so that you may not feel tiredness on the way, nor stand still, and that you may do works of mercy among those who suffer

78. This is the seed which I have always entrusted to you. But if you have not done perfect works like your Father, it is because you have only gone halfway and are still sinning your flesh. All this I know, and therefore I seek you with infinite patience.

79. Therefore I am currently creating ─ lesson after lesson ─ the book of wisdom, which I will leave before your eyes when I withdraw my word. In it you will find the teachings that will encourage you to continue to follow the narrow path of your mission fulfillment with hope, in the desire for the land I have offered you, which is my own bosom.

My peace be with you!
