Teaching 233:

1. The light of my Spirit be with you.

2. Disciples, who come here fighting with yourselves, who strive for spiritual eternity and are not satisfied with your works ─ prepare yourselves For even if it is quite right that you have not attained what your soul longs for, nor seen the fruits of your work, I tell you nevertheless that you have attained elevation and progress. This you will find confirmed in that life which awaits you, in which you will have full knowledge of your spiritual progress. There you will feel that the love of the Master has really penetrated into your being, and that the feeling of mercy towards those who suffer has been established in your soul. This will be the harvest that you will bring in after the various reincarnations that you have had.

3. The "Spiritual Valley" will be populated by spirits of light, whose virtues will be in the service of the good and the progress of mankind.

4. Those who truly prepare themselves in this world and carry out their mission with true mercy and love will not be eager to see the completion of their work to hear the cry of triumph. For whoever longs for it still has much material and little spiritual in him.

5. When I told you to give your body the importance and the place it has in your destiny, this was in reference to your ability to guide it so that it might be an instrument for your perfection. For it is your soul that must reach me.

6. See how simple my teaching is in every respect. Therefore I tell you never to try to complicate it. See how I make it easier for you to do justice to it. But to the extent that I see that you grasp my teaching spiritually, I make you feel your responsibility, which you thereby assume. The more ignorant a man is regarding my teaching, the less responsibility he has.

7. Why are there some who had been with Me and left Me? Why do they exchange Me for satisfactions that harm their soul? And when I reach them on their way and call them, they finally tell me in their ingratitude that they have never seen me nor felt me. How could they think so soon to have forgotten Him, the step by step with them goes ─ The One who stood by them in the hour of trial and in the vicissitudes of life ─ The One who in those moments brought to the tormented heart the heavenly harmony of my caress and my divine peace, who tells it: "Come to Me, rest with Me, follow Me, I am the heaven you seek". At that moment this heart felt a surge of emotion because it realized that man is not alone on his path, and a prayer of love escaped from him, which was a thanksgiving to the Master. Is it possible that someone can forget these proofs of my love? Is it possible that someone, after receiving them, denies having felt Me?

8. You who listen to Me ask Me: "Master, how can I know what is good and what is bad? to this I answer you I am the Divine Justice, and as Justice I manifest Myself in each one of you through the conscience which is the Light of my Divine Spirit. This is the "voice" of God in man, and since there are abilities in man which enable him to understand that "voice", its "calls" and judgments, no one can justify himself by not knowing the way of good, which is the law of love and justice. What are those abilities or qualities that enable man to hear the voice of his own leader and judge? The intuition, the reason, the feelings.

9. The one who does wrong does so not because he has no ears to hear that voice, but because he has closed them so as not to hear his own judgment. It is not because he has no eyes to recognize the good way, but because he has deliberately blinded himself to walk in the path he has created in his own will.

10. To you I say: why silence the loving and harmonious voice of God that speaks to you through your conscience, though it always leads you safely on the way of good?

11. Often the "flesh", like a thick veil, does not let you see the light of truth. This is why I tell you that you will hear that voice in all its clarity when you are already freed from the body. That moment can be that of the highest bliss for the soul that has reached the fulfillment of its mission on earth, or of the infinite pain when it realizes its faults and sees its spots, which makes it wish for a new body as an opportunity to start the path anew. Then the justice of the Father, which has love as its origin, reveals itself as power, granting the soul a new human body to fulfill its destiny.

12. How many occasions like this have I granted to each one of you to come to Me at the end of times when you belong to Me as children. But I do not want you to come to Me only out of mercy and love, but also because of your merits so that you may prove yourselves worthy to possess and behold all the glory of my work.

13. Verily, I tell you, in heaven there is more joy at the coming of one converted sinner than when a hundred righteous men enter into him It is the victory of good over evil when the soul that has fallen into darkness regains its greatness.

14. I speak to you in this way, in order to eliminate all those rapturous beliefs among you that hinder your soul's path of development. For my teaching has not been clearly presented to you by its interpreters.

15. People, be strong against pain. Once you come to understanding, you will be grateful to me for having tested you.

16. Approach me and listen to me, for in my words I will nourish you spiritually.

17. My teaching in this time has done the miracle of turning you into crowds of people eager for light

18. In the silence of your heart you have heard the Master, and with Him you have rested from the long ways from which you bring your weariness and your pains as harvest

19. That which the world hungers for is love, peace, truth.

20. Bring unity where there is discord, light where there is error, morality where sin dwells, and balm where there is pain.

21. Then you will be a clear mirror ─ a mirror which is your Spirit, in which my divine teaching is reflected and in which mankind sees its imperfections.

22. Great is your destiny among mankind. This is why I have taught you so that you do not stumble, which would be the reason why your fellow men would condemn you.

23. Make of your body a humble servant, who never stands between your Spirit and mine, who knows how to render the service to me that is due to him, and who allows your spirit to render to me the devotion that is due to him.

24. The spiritualization, correctly understood, will give you strength and health.

25. From the beginning of times the messengers of the Law and the teaching of the Spirit have had the scientist as their adversary. Great battles have broken out between the two, and the time has come that I tell you something about these disputes.

26. I created this world so that it might serve incarnated souls as a temporary home. But before they would populate it, I provided them with the abilities of Spirit, mind and will. I knew in advance the fate and development of my creatures. I put into the earth, its interior, its surface and its atmosphere all the necessary elements for the preservation, maintenance, development and also refreshment of the human being. But so that man could discover the secrets of nature as the source of life, I allowed his intelligence to awaken.

27. Thus were revealed to man the beginnings of science, which you are all capable of, although there have always been men of greater ability, whose mission was to wrest from nature the secret of its powers and elements for the good and joy of mankind.

28. Also I have sent great spirits to earth so that they would reveal to you the supernatural life ─ of that which is above this nature, beyond science. Through these revelations the existence of a universal, strong, creative, omnipotent and omnipresent being was foretold, which holds ready for man a life after his death, the eternal life of the soul.

29. But since the one brought spiritual missions and the other scientific missions, the one and the other, religions and science, have at all times stood up against each other as enemies in battle.

30. Today I tell you that Matter and Spirit are not opposing forces; there shall be harmony between the two. Light are my spiritual revelations, and light are also the revelations and discoveries of science. But if you have heard from me that I often object to the work of scientists, it is because many of them have misused the energy, the previously unknown elements and forces of nature for the corrupting purposes of destruction, hostilities, hatred and revenge, earthly domination and excessive striving for power.

31. I can tell you that with those who have carried out their mission with love and good intentions ─ with those who have respectfully and humbly penetrated into my secret treasuries, it has given me joy to reveal to them great secrets for the benefit of my daughter, humanity.

32. Since the beginning of the world, science has caused mankind to follow the path of material progress, in which at every turn man has found the fruits of science ─ some sweet and some bitter.

33. Now is the time when you must understand that all light belongs to my Spirit, that all that is life comes from my divinity, because I am the secret treasure, the original source and the origin of all creation.

34. Those struggles of the spiritual against the scientific will disappear from the life of men to the degree that the spiritual will be united with science in a single light that illuminates the path of man to infinity.

35. You begin to prepare that time. For spiritualism has a global mission to fulfill. It will be he who reveals true life to all men.

36. Imagine a humanity that puts its science, its talent, at the service of it, that without enthusiasm or idolatry offers God a pleasing worship, in which even pleasures are wholesome, and whose pleasures are healthy for body and soul ─ then you will have a new, spiritual world, morality, and scientificity. You will respect the life of your neighbor and not dispose of your own. For those people will understand that they are not masters of themselves, and that the only owner of all is I.

37. Predestined are those who will live in the world in those times of grace. That which was a valley of tears, a field of destruction and death, will be turned into a valley of peace.

38. It will be a favourable time for the development and flourishing of the gifts of the Spirit. Then science will not hinder the upward development of the soul, but I will enable it to penetrate still more into my secrets, where I will reveal great secrets to it for the good of mankind.

39. My Spirit will rejoice as always in the good works of my children, whether spiritual or scientific or fruits of their receptivity to beauty.

40. This people here will prepare the way. But you will not see that time with the eyes of your earthly body.

41. No redeeming call will go out from you, not even one to unite this people. It will be my word that unites and redeems you.

42. When my rallies end in 1950, I will find myself in your sanctuary. There, in your heart, will be for Me the throne of love that my people shall establish for Me. Surely you do not want me to present myself on a cross, on a pillory, or in a court of law.

43. Do not allow time to blot out these words, so that you may make of them the great book of your Father's wisdom

44. Pray, speaking with the soul, for the voice of your body does not resound in heaven.

45. While some appear in the Spirit because they could not come physically, others show me only their bodily covering, since their soul is far away, occupied with material things. But I have told you that one must prepare to hear Me. But I want my light to stream down like a spiritual manna everywhere my children are.

46. I will prepare a banquet for this day so that all who live on earth and those great hosts of spirits who live in the hereafter may rejoice in it.

47. I receive you in the light of the book of the seven seals. Elijah prepared in this time the human mind for my rallies. Since then you have discovered more and more a new revelation in my work. Some gave my teaching a correct interpretation, others twisted its meaning, and when the hour came in which the people branched out into communities or places of assembly, each one worked in the manner in which it had been taught by those who preceded them.

48. When ye heard my word for the first time, the number of my hearers was small. Among them were men and women, adults and children. That little congregation grew and became a people, and there I revealed to them that it was spiritual "Israel", hidden and scattered throughout the world. Time passed, and the multitudes multiplied. Then I called them to a meeting, because I had discovered that their hearts were separated, that there was no unity nor harmony among them.

49. My word was gloriously manifested, and my heart was opened like an ark from which the law and the promises flowed. Before it the people bowed their necks and with raised right hand swore to follow the Father, they swore to unite. My word of that day was indelible, because it remained written down in the Spirit of the people, just as the promise of that people was understood as a New Covenant with the Divine Spirit.

50. Since then you have been struggling for your unity, that there may be one light and one form of worship in your hearts. But not everyone respected this covenant, not everyone made the ideal of unity and spiritualization their own, and this has brought hurricanes and hurricanes upon this people, sometimes making them weak. Today I see that while some are fighting for the preservation of the purity, purity and simplicity of this teaching, others, for lack of spiritualization, have not understood this purity and have therefore stained it with foreign rites and influences of different religions.

51. I bring to the disciples of this time a teaching whose content is the essence of what Moses taught ─ of what Jesus poured out into mankind and of what my Spirit reveals to you. But I have seen that there are among you those who have concealed My truth to be able to rise before their churches as lords and kings. If they could, they would wear a crown on their head, a robe over their shoulders, and a scepter in their right hand. But instead they humble their brothers and sisters and enjoy receiving tributes, flattery and praise.

52. People come to my places of assembly day after day. New multitudes and last disciples multiply this people. When they come to a church where my children are striving to show the goodness and sincerity of my work, they are filled with light and praise me. But when they come to the place where vanity and passions nest, they get into confusion, and in this way confused they continue on their way. How could they also stop the chaotic advance of those "workers" who precede the multitudes? How could they prove to the world that this is not a sect or a new religion, but the eternal law, the light of the HolySpirit, which has become teaching, so that it may lead men to the perfection of their soul.

53. If you had understood from the beginning the essence of my teaching and its purpose, there would not have been so many confused people on the way. You thought that your gifts were for your earthly satisfactions and allowed the light of my Word to be extinguished when it reached the hearts. The voice-bearers transmitted my word from the first to the last of the gathering places until their throats became hoarse, so that at least the loudness of their voice would awaken and impress your hardened hearts.

54. You have seen how the churches have not recognized each other because of their differences of opinion and ideas, and have remained untouched by them, without doing anything to eliminate this discord. At times you want to get yourselves together and call your churches to account and instruct them. But what can you instruct them if you know nothing?

55. I know that those who have suffered and struggled to show my teaching in all its purity weep in these moments when they hear these words. They ask Me for forgiveness and for strength to persevere in the breach, and I grant forgiveness, strength and light to all. I bless the humble. But to those who are not, I say: be humble, do not forget that I have compared you to the Prodigal Son of my parable, who saw ─ after he had squandered his inheritance far from his father's home and saw his hands empty and his body exhausted and stripped, ─ returned home longing for the arms of his father. His father received him and organized a feast of happiness to have him back with him. Then that son became humble, obedient and loving towards his father. For the pain over his transgressions had brought light into his heart. But you, to whom I have said that I received you at this time like the prodigal son ─ believe that it is right that, after I had made a feast on your arrival, sat you down at my table and showered you with gifts of grace, you are full of vanity and take possession of my house?

56. My word has been able to move your hearts, and in it some have the purpose of ennobling their works, and others the purpose of improving. Then the Master says to you: The time of purification has come. Go back to your churches and unfold the gifts with which I have blessed each of you. It is my desire that the so many imperfections and profanations should cease unless you wish to see yourselves deprived of my word before the time appointed by my divinity.

57. Fathom my words, reflect upon them, and then depart with the firm intention of correcting your errors, correcting imperfections, and purifying forms of worship. Pray and watch, there is still time to destroy the bad seed, to sow the good and reap its fruit.

My peace be with you!
