Teaching 229:

1. Beloved disciples, I appear in your sanctuary, in the Master's dwelling, which has opened in your soul by your elevation.

2. Some of you have listened to Me many times, others are hearing My word for the first time and are amazed. But truly, I tell you, some of you as well as others have heard this voice already in another time.

3. I am the word of love that brings consolation to the one who suffers ─ the troubled, the weeping, the sinner and the one who has sought me. My word is the river of life in those hearts, where they quench their thirst and wash away their impurities. It is also the way that leads to the eternal home of rest and peace.

4. How can you come to the conclusion that the struggle for life ─ its sacrifices, tribulations and trials ─ end with death, without finding a just reward in eternity? Therefore, my law and my teaching with their revelations and promises in your hearts are the incentive, the caress and the balm of the day's work. Only when you turn away from my teachings do you feel hungry and weak.

5. I feed you with love so that you may feel sated with it and bring it as perfect seed to the hearts that sleep and to those who hunger for it.

6. Peace will be among you if you love one another. Remember that I am the Spirit of peace.

7. Spiritually you are the people chosen at all times to guide mankind Now I have come to tell you: You shall be the salvation of your fellow men. Heavy is the burden of your cross, O people. Before you were made up of tribes, but now you form a spiritual family. Like a stranger, I am knocking constantly at your door to encourage you so that you may fulfill your destiny and be an example for mankind, whom I love as much as you do.

8. You are the first-born among the peoples of the earth ─ the one who first awakened to the light of the Spirit Therefore you are now the disciples of the HolySpirit.

9. Feel neither fear nor doubt in the face of your responsibility. For though you are rich in Spirit, you would feel needy if you began to doubt.

10. In this time, as in the past, humanity has connection with my divinity through your mediation. Through you I made the way recognizable to others, and tomorrow all sects and religious communities will come on it one after another. Men will unite spiritually, for there is only one God, and you will all be united in Him.

11. Men are on different spiritual levels. But only I can know the degree of development of each one.

12. All have come to atone for their transgressions and to attain their exaltation through their merits. For all I have light, because I love all.

13. Today you are in an oasis. But you do not know what paths you have traveled.

14. Do not divide yourselves again. Remember that I made your "people" come forth from one man, and this man in whom I found piety was Jacob, called by Me "the strong Israel. In his heart there was a sanctuary for My divinity, and I rewarded him by giving him twelve sons who would be the progenitors of the Lord's people ─ the rootstock of that people who have followed Me at all times.

15. I do not want you to continue to go astray. Know that you carry my light like a seal in your soul. It is the covenant you have made with me to always follow my light, to be faithful to me.

16. Here is my table, where I let all sit down, without distinguishing pedigrees or races. To all I offer the same bread.

17. In this way I awaken you like Lazarus when I said to him, "Get up, sleep no longer.

18. This is the way of progress, on which you must never stop. For when the burden of your cross weighs on you, the Divine Cross Bearer comes to your aid and tells you: "Do not stop.

19. Just as I reveal myself to your soul, I let your body feel my presence in nature, so that both, forming one single being, ascend to the summit of the mountain.

20. From Me you have come forth, and to My bosom you must return. I am the beginning and the end, the Alpha and the Omega.

21. The modesty of your human circumstances should not be important to you, since you know that as a jewel of inestimable value you can attain spiritual greatness.

22. Do not close your hand to the needy, and do not hold him unworthy of your mercy, because he might be godless. Consider my table at this time: I am surrounded by many who once rolled in the dirt. Today they are my disciples.

23. So the Master has spoken to you on this day. I forgive and bless you.

24. The light of my wisdom is with you. I quench the thirst of your soul with the crystal clear water of my love, which is consolation and balm. I am forgiving. Whoever makes a firm resolution to better himself will experience the sweetness of my forgiveness in the moment of reconciliation with his own conscience. The world thirsts for spiritual knowledge. Proof of this is that mankind is striving to explore the mystery of creation. However, the soul is still imperfect. Therefore, it seeks the presence of God to purify itself with Him.

25. The awakened soul seeks the light and the way, without the human part of the being often being aware of it. Then the material nature of the soul works against it, opposes its 'way to spiritual development. That is why I explain the secrets to you through my revelations and make them comprehensible to the human being by making myself unmistakably known and addressing his senses myself. And yet man often resists to accept that which is as clear as the light.

26. How much the soul had to fight against the body's insubordination! Man often achieves great unfolding and great progress in the sciences and in human life, and yet he shows no progress whatsoever spiritually. From this mental lethargy he is not awakened by religions in which he encounters only mystification and fanaticism.

27. Then the mind refuses to penetrate the spiritual for fear of revealing the mystery that reveals to him the reason for his mental retardation, and man creates for himself a way of silencing the cries of his conscience by adapting the law to his comforts, his beliefs, his life. In this way he feels calm and justified in his actions. In this way, he can pretend to love his neighbor, pity and mercy, even though he is far from feeling it. He can present himself before the magnificent altars that man has created and pretend a love and faith that he does not even know.

28. I come in the third time to bring light to the world. But to you, disciples, I say in truth: Do not become fanatical in my teaching. Know that I have prepared you by freeing your soul from old traditions to let them develop. Take the responsibility to correct the errors of your fellow men. Deny all criticism to your heart and lips so that you may judge without indignation all that comes before your eyes on your way.

29. You will discover that people still believe in the holiness of the places where they gather to celebrate their rites, and that they themselves consider the objects that are there to be holy, and that their representatives consider themselves superior and just.

30. But to you I say: are you very close to Me because you have heard Me with a living voice and because I have endowed you with gifts? Do you feel yourselves superior to your fellow men? Up to now you have only allowed your mind to brighten up so far as to understand my word. Once you have understood it, you can work on the progress of your soul, in the knowledge that everything that you do for the good and for the welfare of your neighbor is meritorious for you and will contribute to the unfolding of your soul.

31. My teaching trains you so that you may eternally unfold that being of light which is within you, created with perfection and wisdom, which is the soul, so that you may successively clean and purify the stains which the earthly passions have left on it, until you reach the original purity.

32. Verily I say to you, even before my departure there will be so much light in your minds that you will clearly recognize what you could hardly understand before. Then your knowledge and your faith will be greater, and you will have learned to reveal the power of your Father by means of soul elevation in prayer. You will no longer doubt and show yourselves no longer dissatisfied, as you sometimes do when you have said to me, "Master, I have prepared myself, I have prayed, I have laid the healing balm on the needy, and yet I have not achieved what I asked for.

I can tell you this: why do you doubt? Is it not your faith that should save you? Have I not taught you that not everything you ask for is good for you? You do not even know the material nature of your fellow men. Then what do you know about their spiritual nature? What do you know of what that soul needs for its unfolding, for its atonement and perfection?

33. I teach you and simplify the teachings: Love, be merciful, pray and ask for your fellow men, and then let me do my will, you have already fulfilled your duty. In this way you will learn to receive everything as a benefit, even that which you have previously considered to be contrary to your health or your faith.

34. Not only surrender shall be your companion, but also the knowledge that everything you receive from me is for your good. But if I will you according to your request because it is so good for you, rejoice and ignite your faith even more.

35. I am the Master of old who teaches you anew; Christ came as a perfect soul to reveal Himself among men. His mercy was boundless, since He became man and took upon Himself sacrificial death for love of mankind. Jesus is the model of mercy. Take Him as your model. Do not forget that every creature has a task to accomplish, for which he will undergo a trial, which you must accept with the humility with which Jesus accepted his suffering.

36. Beloved disciples: Understand already now, as you have entered the time of preparation, that the meaningful moment of the end of my Word is drawing nearer in this form.

37. The Master does not sleep, neither shall you sleep, because I am preparing the end of my rallies through the human brain. My Spirit will not move away from you, but rather you will feel me still closer through your spiritualization.

38. He who does not prepare himself and lets my teaching pass by without fathoming it will feel as an orphan after my departure, and he will feel me as absent.

39. The good disciples will be neither sad nor grieved because they will have a deep understanding of my instructions and will then see a horizon opening up before their Spirit in infinity, from where they will receive great inspirations from the Father, which will no longer be limited as in the transmission by a voice bearer, because they come directly from the HolySpirit.

40. After the day determined by my divinity, you will no longer hear my word. But it will remain imprinted in your Spirit, in your heart and in the books.

41. Whoever then appears as a voice bearer and calls upon my ray does not know the judgment he makes upon himself. I call your attention to this so that you do not listen to the false prophets, the false voice-bearers and false Christs. I shake you awake so that you avoid times of confusion and prevent the penetration of souls of darkness among you. Watch, because you will have to answer to me for these teachings when you are not prepared.

42. Those who are already prepared will enjoy great inspirations, will hold dialogue with me and will rejoice to hear me through reading my teaching addresses, which I will leave to you as an inheritance. His path will not be uncertain, the accomplishment of his mission will be easy for him, he will feel My presence in the trials.

43. By this I will know that you have taken a step forward.

44. This will happen when you begin to prove the purity and sublimity of my teaching, because you will not allow among yourselves any outward cults, fanaticism, nor idolatry.

45. By your thoughts, words and deeds you will bear witness to my spiritual works.

46. As long as you have not understood my teaching and have not prepared your hearts and souls, I will not be able to use you as messengers of the Good News, and you will see obstacles appearing before your steps, which will stand in your way. But when the disciple lives my work and feels it in his soul, I will open ways and lead soulfully needy earth pilgrims to him so that he makes them acquainted with my teaching.

47. Rejoice, because the voice that wakes you up is my word of love. But watch, so that it is no other voice that shakes you up, and that voice tomorrow is the judgement over the earth.

48. Men will have to concern themselves with you. They will be the men of justice and law, the theologians and theosophists, the scientists. They will come with different intentions, but they will investigate and test you. Do not hide your life and your works by showing them only my law. Do not cover your imperfections with the perfection of my word written in your books.

49. If there are bad examples in the history of mankind, you must not take them as examples.

50. In times past I did not speak to you in this way. In the first time the Law enlightened the human Spirit. In the second time, Christ, through the light of love, enlightened the heart of man. Today the light of the HolySpirit enlightens your spirit to lift it above all humanity.

51. From one and the same God you have received these three messages, and between them all an age has passed ─ the time necessary for the development of the Spirit to receive the new message or teaching.

52. Now ye can understand why I have called you disciples of the HolySpirit.

53. All created things pay homage to Me, from the atom to the star of greatest dimensions, from the most backward human creature to the most highly developed soul. You who are familiar with all that exists in your world, see how every being and every body performs a task and fulfills its destiny. In this fulfillment they pay homage to Me. It is the tribute of their harmony with the whole. Verily, I tell you, all created things rejoice in themselves, even the rock, which because of its hardness and immobility appears to you to be insensitive or dead. For the Spirit of God, who is in everything created by Him, is life.

54. See how the royal star sends its light, which is energy, life, and warmth, as far as its power reaches. It is his warmth that makes the water of the seas rise, to carry it away, transformed into clouds, by the wind, and to make it fall as a fertile rain on the dry fields, which are then covered with greenery, with flowers, trees full of fruit and foliage, whose branches serve as a home for the birds, which in their language send their songs up to infinity. While everything germinates, everything grows and multiplies, everything adorns itself in a constant tribute to the Father, the Creator rejoices in His work and lets all creatures rejoice in Him.

55. But you ─ what are you in the midst of creation? You are likewise creatures who fulfill a task. But you belong not only to the material nature, but are also endowed with a soul that possesses conscience, intuition, intelligence, revelation, will, freedom, reason, and feelings. For this reason, among all the creatures of this planet, you are superior beings, having everything at your disposal as a tool, as a servant, as food, refreshment, and element for your spiritual and human progress.

56. Since your soul makes you superior in its development, remember that your practice of religion must also be superior, and this is that of the soul. I have revealed it to you at all times.

57. From its beginnings mankind has sought the way to offer spiritual worship to me. The intuitive knowledge of my existence has led them to seek me and to penetrate into the hereafter. And when I saw that restlessness in man, I revealed myself to him. What I have revealed to him is the spiritual path that leads the soul to perfection.

But in order for this mankind to reach spiritualization, which it has not yet reached, I had to let you go through grave transgressions and through great confusion, through long ways of suffering and trials, through times of light and times of darkness, until you have reached the gates of the time of the Spirit, which is that in which you now live.

58. The reverence that your soul should show Me your soul in a superior and pure way materialized in your heart when it showed Me your body by formulating the prayer in the mind and the lips pronouncing it; when you presented the fruits of nature to Me as if they were your works; when you refreshed your senses with the splendor of the ceremonies while your soul presented itself before Me naked, hungry, dirty and stupid, because the task you were given had been taken over by the body.

59. In the Third Age my spiritual teaching will give the Spirit the freedom to spread its wings. And to rise up to the Father to offer him true worship.

60. But man, as a human being, must also offer worship to the Creator. And this tribute consists in the fulfillment of his duties on earth by obeying human laws, showing morality and good judgment in his actions, and fulfilling his duties as father, child, brother, friend, lord, and servant.

61. He that thus liveth shall honour me on earth, and shall cause his Spirit to arise to glorify me.

62. The love of the soul must not be limited to your children and earthly brothers and sisters. Spiritual love must be universal so that it loves without distinction of social classes or degrees of spiritual development.

63. The soul must be strong against the weaknesses of the material nature which lead it to fanaticism and idolatry. It must free itself from prejudices and passions, so that it may concede to that reason which possesses it, and accept that truth in which it lives.

64. Then you will be men of peace, who with your lives will obey my saying, "Give to God what is God's, and to Caesar what is Caesar's," and will not offer to the Father what belongs to the world, nor to the world what is God's, but will be able to harmonize all laws to fulfill them in the right way, because they recognize that every divine law of love and justice has come forth from me.

65. In the second time Jesus spoke to you in the greatest perfection. Now I speak to you with the greatest clarity and simplicity. But much of what I have revealed to you in this time I did not give you in that time because you were not yet able to understand it.

66. Everyone who has been called to my teaching and has been appointed to a task has done so because he is ready to understand these teachings. I tell you once again that it is not the first time that your soul has visited this planet, nor is it the first time that it has received the light of a divine revelation. But his past is currently hidden behind the veil of matter. Your soul knows this, and when it hears my word, it awakens and feels that it really comes from far away, on a long, very long way, where it has seen and experienced much.

67. In order to hear these teachings, you had to "wander" for a long time. But your soul has not lost heart, has not grown old, because old age, decay and death do not concern the soul, but rather development, experience and unfolding, which mean struggle; and the trials give it maturity and bring it closer to the fullness of Eternal Life.

68. You have had existences of prosperity and pleasure, of splendor and delight; others of misfortune and failure Some have served atonement, some have served experience, some have served the unfolding of mind, some have served the unfolding of emotion, and the existence you now have serves the upliftment of the soul.

69. All have you known and all have you possessed. Therefore, when you see today that you have no riches, nor glorious living conditions, nor titles, do not complain of this and remember that, in order to take firm steps and attain spiritualization in this time, you had to lose everything superfluous and unnecessary in order to achieve your spiritual progress.

70. Since you are bearers of a profoundly spiritual teaching, you will not be able to present it to the world under outward cult forms. For with your contradictions you would only provoke suspicion and mockery.

71. The kingdom of peace is drawing near, and although you do not know how long it is still to come, I have begun my work of moral and spiritual restoration. When the time comes, this world, which has been a valley of atonement and tears, will become a home for advanced souls.

72. Be of good cheer, for I am still with you. Trust in Me, for you cannot yet trust too much in yourselves. But remain persevering until you attain that soul preparation which I demand of you so that you may gain confidence in yourselves.

73. Soon you will see men interested in the spiritual gifts, with some asking questions while others discuss them.

74. I give you my caress and my healing balm.

My peace be with you.
