AN ATHEIST BEYOND THE GRAVE





(Flap – front cover)



Jesus announced:

“When Elijah comes again,

he is to restore all things.”



As it is well known, the restoration of the Doctrine of the Path of the Lord (the Christianism

delivered until Jesus) could not be completed during the incarnation of Elijah as Allan

Kardec, who warned, in his book “Posthumous Works”, about his return in order to

accomplish his mission (see “First Warning about a New Incarnation” and “My Return”).



On June 5th, 1910, Allan Kardec reincarnated with the name of Osvaldo Polidoro, in the city

of São Paulo. The greatest worker of the Doctrine of the Path that Earth has ever known

wrote, during this incarnation, among countless other works, 116 books, restoring everything

that has already been taught on our planet with regard to the Divine Truths, explaining in

depth many items that today we are able to better understand.



By means of the book Everlasting Gospel and Prodigious Prayers, promised in the

Apocalypse 14:6, Osvaldo Polidoro founded the Divinism, the Integral Doctrine.



When he disincarnated, on December 25, 2000, Osvaldo Polidoro, had concluded the

restoration and left in the world, “ONE GOD, ONE TRUTH, ONE DOCTRINE”.

The Supreme Document

The 10 Commandments and the Law of God



The 10 Commandments are the intellectual reflection of the Law of Equilibrium, or Cause and

Effect. To revoke the Ten Commandments, The Universal Equilibrium would have to end.

The Divine example of Jesus serves as school. He did not come to derogate the Law, but to

testify it. In order to derogate it, he would have to be more than God, which would be

ridiculous to wish. After all brothers, children must respect the laws of the Father. Those who

transgress the law of God, record in themselves damages before the law of Cause and Effect,

and one day they will have to repair faults and pay the debts. Human concepts may vary but

nobody will ever be able to argue with the Law and destroy justice.



1- I am the Lord your God, there is no other God. 
 


2- Thou shall not make any images to adore. 
 


3- Thou shall not utter the name of God in vain. 
 


4- Thou shall have a day in the week for resting and introspection.

5- Thou shall honor father and mother. 



 6- Thou shall not kill.

7- Thou shall not commit adultery.

8- Thou shall not steal.

9- Thou shall not bear false testimony. 
 


10- Thou shall not covet what is thy neighbour‟s.



How did the Model Word warn about the law?



“Go and live the Law.” “Nothing shall pass from the Law until all is accomplished.” “To sin

about one single Commandment is to sin against the whole Law.” “My father, my mother and

my brothers are the ones who hear the Law and practise it.” “Each shall receive according to

their deeds.” “Away from me, you, who practise iniquity.” “You will not come out of there

until you have paid to the last farthing.” “Bear worthy fruits through example.”

The Eternal Gospel

(Apocalypse, 14:6)



The Principle or God – Omnipresent, Omniscient and Omnipotent Divine Essence, the

origin, foundation and end of all things, and whose destiny is the Total Reintegration. The

Spirit and Matter, the Worlds and Humanities, and the Relative Laws will return to the

Essential Unity, or Spirit and Truth. If He stopped Emanating, Manifesting or Creating, there

would be nothing but Him, the Omnipresent Principle. As the Principle is Total, He does not

increase nor diminish, everything revolves around being The One Who Manifests or The

Manifestation, Manifesting and Reintegrating all things. That is the Divine Monism.



Spirit Child – The sparks, which are emanated and not created, bear ALL POTENTIAL

DIVINE VIRTUES, and must develop them in the bosom of the Worlds, of incarnations and

disincarnations, until they return to the Divine Bosom as One or Spirit and Truth. No one will

be a child of God forever; all will be God in God. This wisdom was taught by Hermes,

Krishna and Pythagoras. Jesus lived the Unmistakable Character of EXEMPLARY WORD,

of everything that derives from the ESSENTIAL ONE and to Him returns as TOTAL ONE.

The Empty Tomb means more than the Manger. (Understand this well).



The Vehicle of the Soul or Perispirit – It is formed for the spirit child to have means of

acting in the Cosmos or Matter. The task of the perispirit ends with the spirit‟s self-

divinization, when it reaches the Divine Union or Reintegration. The self-divinisation, that is,

the blossoming of the Latent Divine Virtues is extremely slow. Everything increases in Light

and Glory until it becomes Total Divinity, Total Union, that is, decreasing in RELATIVITY

to gain in DIVINITY.



Matter or Cosmos – Matter is Divine Essence, Divine Light, Energy, Ether, Substance, Gas,

Vapour, Liquid, and Solid. In any shape or form it is the tool of the spirit child of God. (Those

who do not seek to understand that are very unfortunate).

GOD



I Am the Absolute Essence, I Am Arch-natural,

Omniscient and Omnipresent, I Am the Universal Mind,

I Am the Original Cause, I Am the Omnipotent Father,

I Am Distinct and I Am All, I Am Ambivalent.



I Am Outside and Inside, I Am Above and Below,

I Am the Whole and the Part, I Am that which encompasses all,

Being the Divine Essence, I Reveal Myself also in Creation*,

And I Breathe in My Work, being both the Whole and the Fraction.



I Am in your depths, always Maintaining you,

Since I Am your Existence, your Reason for Being,

And I Speak to your intimacy, and to your exterior,

I Am in the brain and in the heart, because I Am the Lord.



Come, therefore, to My Temple, return hence to Me,

I Am in you and in Infinity, I Am the Beginning and I Am the End,

You are children of My Mind, you will always be gods,

And marching towards the Truth, you will destroy your crosses.



Do not deliver yourselves to mysteries, enigmas, and rituals,

I want Truth and Virtue, none of those “isms,”

From Me the Laws proceed, and when you have grown in them,

You will grow in My Matters, in order to have My Glories.



I do not Come and I do not Go, I Am the Eternal and the Present,

I have always Been and will always Be, in you, the Evident Divine Essence,

Your presence is in Me, and I Want it to be full and mature,

Above any simulations, glorifying in Me the Eternal Life.



Abandoning the retrograde and morbid routes

That remind of idolatrous times and filthy paganisms,

Seek Me in the Inner Temple, in Virtue and Truth,

And united with Me you will have, in Me, Glory and Freedom.



I have always Been, I Am and will Be in you the Source of Clemency,

Awaiting your Holiness, in Integral Consciousness,

Because I do not want forms and adulation, but conscious children,

Children who are My collaborators, by the Union of Our Minds.



* In his brilliant lectures, when incarnate, Osvaldo Polidoro always taught

that the word Creation is not correct. The correct vocable is Emanation. God

does not take anything out of Himself, but He Emanates from Himself. Thus, as

a consequence, the vocable Emanature is still a neologism, but in the course of

time, it shall be naturally accepted by those who study the TRUTH.

Therefore the words “CREATION”, “CREATOR” and “CREATURE” should be understood

as “EMANATION”, “EMANATOR” and "EMANATURE.”

FOREWORD

“AN ATHEIST BEYOND THE GRAVE”





This is a wonderful book. Unfortunately, of an atrocious present time.

What is its target audience?

It addresses, no doubt, to the materialists and negativists of all sorts on this suffering

planet.

It is another excellent work by the reincarnation of Kardec that comes to light.

Its first edition, by Editora Zdanowicz & Cia Ltda., was launched in 1949, therefore

fifty six years ago.

Reincarnated in 1910, the Author was, consequently, 39 years old.

In this book, he shows us once more, as he always used to affirm and thoroughly

demonstrated in his brilliant lectures, that he knows much more about Heaven than about

Earth.

He is an expert on the astral world.

For Him, the other side of life bears no secrets.

He transits lightly and magisterially describes subtleties of life beyond the grave.

The central theme of this work focuses on the consequences that fall upon the spirit

who lives and transmits atheism.

Indeed, while on one hand, the reincarnated spirit, in his early years, is well conducted

by his parents, who aim at his adequate spiritual education – as Solomon well pointed in the

Bible by advising the mothers in general, on the other hand, the miseducation that spiritually

deforms the child is disastrous, especially when concerning atheist formation.

This is the focus of this book.

Its central theme begins with the account of a discarnate spirit that, while on the carnal

plane, had been an elementary school teacher.

His name: January.

Disagreeing on the anthropomorphic GOD of the religions, but accepting only a ruling

“force” of the Universe, January mistaught a lot of children. On the astral plane, he went to a

quite inferior place, well organized as they usually are, but where there was not enough air to

breathe… Many went mad with such suffering!

Then he achieves the merit to move to a better place.

He is taken to a rescuing plane, where he is assigned to the post of cleaner, working 12

hours a day…

On this plane, he saw many people in tenebrous places. People who, while in the

flesh, had been very important and reached outstanding positions.

He meets his mother.

After a series of teachings, he and his mother travel to a dark and horrible place in the

sub-crust to fetch his father, who had been a denier of GOD.

By the author‟s brilliant narrative, full of teachings, a dangerous vicious circle can be

noticed: a denier father, a denier son, and probably a great number of denier students, who

had consequently been spiritually deformed and miseducated too.

The Author has always taught that, among the several occupations, three are important

to favour a good performance in the flesh: physician, nurse and teacher – obviously, provided

that these professions are executed with honesty and rectitude.

Unfortunately, this was not the case of January, the teacher who created a disposition

for harmful denials in the children that were confided to him.

Among the teachings obtained from that astral plane, we recommend your special

attention to those regarding the Fundamental Ruling Law of Responsibility, with a relevant

priority to the Retrospective View Chamber, which provides the guidelines for the Pre-

incarnation Programme of the spirits (page 54).

By means of this astral device, January‟s father could verify that he had just harvested

what he had previously seeded.

In one of his lives, he had been a great persecutor of the emerging Christianism; he

persecuted it in order to sustain the leviticus ritual.

Along the other narratives, several important teachings are obtained, such as:

Every work presupposes an author;

We have the evidence - the Cosmic Universe -in favour of the PRINCIPLE, and the

atheism, which evidences can it present?;

If denying God was harmful, teaching others to deny Him was even worse;

It is more important to know a little than to believe a lot;

There are cases of atonement for errors committed over 15,000 years before the

incarnation;

The Retrospective View Chamber is an amazing astral instrument, non-existing at this

side of life, which allows the spirit to watch his history, relived up to his last incarnation;

With it, the spirit can go over his Responsibility Map;

Those who truncate their brothers spiritual progress will have to repair the harm

caused to them;

Not everything that comes in the name of the Lord really comes from the Lord;

The so-called geniuses – the great artists, the predestined of any sort – are mediums on

a higher evolutionary grade;

Heaven or Hell resides in the inward of the human being;

Out of the Conscience of Unity, everything else is false;

GOD wants a spirit of Universality, brotherhood and cooperation;

Prayer enlightens; we must pray with intelligence and feeling.

The book culminates in a wonderful prayer, as only the Author is able to produce.

In conclusion, this work is a word of “warning” for those who are unaware, inattentive

and misinformed, and adopt materialistic, nihilistic or atheistic stands in life, so that they

urgently change their philosophical positions; otherwise, they will surely pay a very high

price for their insanity.

Hence the great importance of this work, in the face of the current situation that the

Planetary Humankind is going through in this early millennium, and in which, unfortunately,

there is a huge number of God deniers.

A FRIEND AND AN INVITATION

First of all, I must state that my psychic status still resents severe damages. After all,

for those who already know something about the erratic life, it would be easy to understand

that an inner hierarchic grade corresponds to an external hierarchic zone. And, as the solid

planet is surrounded by concentric and superposed zones, or heavens as they used to be called

formerly, it is easy to understand that, as the spirit illuminates internally, it is sequentially and

gradually admitted in more divinized zones.

However, I do not wish you to understand this theory in a dogmatic way, for each of

these planes comprises beings belonging to a wide range of gradations. A countless number of

small variations can be observed between the most and the less evolved spirits dwelling in

these zones. A zone or layer, therefore, being already a hierarchic specification, is also

generic with regard to its average standard. We must be aware, consequently, that within a

hierarchic zone there are multiple opportunities for those who wish to teach and those who

wish to learn – which would be impossible, if each astral region was inhabited by a single and

severe spiritual condition.

Therefore, although the more distant from the crust, the more the heavens grow in

expressions, they comprise a number of heterogeneities. A wise law rules the phenomena of

life in any of its manifestations; no one should have any doubt about it. And those who

envisage heaven in the catholic or protestant fashion, a heaven without an endless hierarchic

chain, can be sure that when having to face reality at disincarnating, they will have to change

their point of view.

And knowing this will be a great benefit for the child of God, this child of theological

plots, of religionist resentments, and of conspiratorial interests of the religions. And if you

think that I am going too far, wait until a little later to judge my words. The reason is that,

although all religions theoretically preach the good, they also make wars of some sorts, much

filthier than those made by politicians and militarists. In the face of the many material values

that the so-called religionisms usurp from their believers, with their priests and their fetishist

plots – because the formalisms that they sell are just that – they could well speak a little more

about the truth. And if they do not have the truth, should they not search for it?

Nowadays, as a suffering man that I still am, but aware of the infinite conditions of life

in the Earth‟s astral plane, and aware that there has always been wholesome spiritualism on

the carnal plane, I tell you from the deepest core of my soul that, the clergies, with their

sectarian interests, did nothing but mutilate the evolution of the humankind in its true sense.

Therefore, having been granted the opportunity to speak to those who still dwell on the dense

planes, I do it with a great satisfaction, together with myriads of others who are doing the

same all around the Earth, towards the same purpose, that is, to illustrate to the human beings

the infinite possible conditions of life in the erratic, when they leave the dense plane.

Those who live on Earth usually complain about their lives, believing that they could

live in better conditions. This not only demonstrates that they are not conscious of their rights

and duties, but also that hope never dies. As the same occurs at this side of life, it would be

advisable that the incarnate got gradually used to search for the reasons of their deficiencies,

of the impossibility to jump up to a better life just by wishing it. Nobody is detained in their

progressive march towards those better planes of life; but it serves to no purpose to expect

privileges or favours, neither from the laws, nor from any big shot.

All the leaders together, from Christ down, would do nothing with such purpose; the

fundamental law assigns them as masters in technique, in morals, in examples, in every

situation in which their teachings, their instructive incumbencies are needed. However,

regarding the inner edification, which is the sole instrument of ascension, the Divine

Determination places this task on each one. The external instructions should come and, in

fact, they come from the outside, sent not by a single master, but by myriads of them, in such

a way that, sometimes, it goes even unnoticed. The internal achievement is totally up to each

one. That is why I deny the possibility of someone having more, knowing less; the truth is

that one always knows more than one possesses. The lessons advance much more quickly

than the students do.

Knowing is easy, doing is difficult. Who could be more aware of such principle than I

am? The Supreme Law rules the Universe and its phenomena in every sense, on every plane,

in such a way that knowing a lot and doing a little corresponds to suffering more and being

less entitled to complaining. In view of what Jesus said, this is a widely known concept. But it

is known theoretically, for, on a practical basis, I do not believe there is on Earth a single

incarnate individual that complies thoroughly with their duties, that behaves in conformity

with their moral and spiritual knowledge.

I was, therefore, a transgressor of the Law, as everybody is, to some extent; the whole

problem lied on what I knew about the Law, not on what I ignored about it. The Law grants

nothing to those who are not already entitled to receive, and asks nothing from those who, in

fact, it has not given anything. It is in this mechanical and moral line that the Law functions.

And that is why men, who believe that one day they will have to face a tribunal whose

location he does not know, feel deceived in themselves and by themselves upon confronting

their inner judge that grants them what they have edified, whatever it may be, unspeakable

expressions of light or tenebrous abysses. Each one in possession of their own doings, this is

the law of the Supreme Law. And who answers to complaints? To whom address a

complaint? How? Where?

There is, certainly, a solution for everything. Complaining? Presenting reasons?

Everything is possible and justifiable. Just take the complaint precisely where the fault has

been committed. Each one should, in their inward, look closely at their misdoings, miseries,

and then make amends, throw the gravel away, and receive the divine graces.

It is true that sometimes, before obtaining the opportunity to do so, one has to spend

many decades on the planes of the limbo. After the mistakes are morally repaired, the

technical reparation blandly begins. And those who have to undo a bad action and replace it

with a good one, are they not staying behind in the time of their lives? Adding the pain of the

moral amendment to the time required for the technical repair, is it not easy to agree that

living the right way corresponds to working less and gaining more?

All of us, men and women dwelling on the astral plane, give this issue a great deal of

thought. We place strong hopes on the effects of the ostensive Consoler, on its strong

warnings, on its lessons of love and fear. However, Spiritism will never take responsibility for

its followers‟ actions. The priesthood will always stand much above its priests‟ acts. That is

why, here in these parts, I have already seen many spiritists in quite dark, awful places. The

kingdom of heaven is not for the religionists; it is for the ones who are more truthful! Didn‟t

Jesus say that the Truth would set us free? And if the Truth takes, in the human world, a

Moral and Scientific aspect, why is man despising it, and busying himself instead with selling

and buying liturgical nonsense?

I know pretty well that this is due to a lack of experience. In this case, nobody should

despise the priceless lessons of life. And if we, the discarnate spirits speak through the

multiple mediumistic channels, sharing with the incarnate not the price of our experiences, but

at least the awareness of the lived and suffered consequences of our actions, the incarnate

should never fail to listen to our warnings. We fulfil our duties in accordance with the wise

lessons of the Divine Master, who has repeatedly warned humankind about the merits of the

Consoler as a discloser of accurate information.

THE FRIEND





My work here is often of a much lower level than the one I used to do when

incarnated. When in the flesh, I was an elementary school teacher. And since I had, as I know

now that I had, a severe sceptical burden from the past weighing on my shoulders, and since

my rational mind could not accept the anthropomorphic conceptions about God, during the

most part of my life I taught an almost absolute atheism. I used to affirm that the Universe

was ruled by a force of some sort; but calling that force “God” was a belief of simpletons.

For a moral reason, I used to explain that as it was a force with a general character to

all intents, cold in every sense, there was no point in any of those acts described or considered

as religious, bought or sold. Frankly, today I congratulate myself for having thought like this.

At least this concept of mine was correct. And with the awareness I have just achieved about a

Divine Essence, an Absolute Power, which engenders and rules everything from the inside

out, now I feel only the moral pain of having failed to interpret this Divine Essence correctly,

and having created an inclination for harmful denials in the children‟s minds. It was not what

I did at that moment; it was what I caused, as a consequence, that has damaged me so much.

As a consequence for myself, after my disincarnation by an accident, I was sent to a

place where there was not enough air to breathe. Now I know that, on the lower astral planes,

one can suffer for having too much as well as for having too little of life‟s good things. It may

sound weird, but every suffering is generated by disequilibrium. And, in these parts, it may

occur because of this or that, in one way or another, causing spiritual, moral, mental,

intellectual and even material pain, in our own way. Yes, in our way, because everything is a

matter of relationship between the individual and the environment – his psychic intensity and

the density of the cosmic elements.

In certain aspects, we, the discarnate, live in a totally material world, and in other

aspects, in a remarkable astral world. As the wisest spirits of these parts usually say,

everything is relative at any spot of the Universe. That is why, in the same environment, we

face harsh difficulties and count on fortunate events and sublime possibilities.

So, there was not enough air to breathe on the plane I dwelled for over thirty years. I

am not saying that the place was completely grim, that it lacked an organized life, or that it

did not count on good resources. Trouble was that, as it offered just a little of everything,

there was also just a little air, which caused an unspeakable suffering to its inhabitants. There

were occasions, as if periodically determined, in which the difficulty increased, taking the

form of a crisis. Despair gnawed on us, distressed us even more, maddened many of us. Some

ran, fled, tried to hide in sparse forests. Others, mind you and do not be astonished, died ...

Yes, they died and had to be buried. And now I know that they did not really die, for, as it

happens on Earth, they abandoned a denser body in exchange for a lighter one.

Dying was a way to put an end to the moral purgation on that plane. There are other

ways; I, for instance, went to bed one evening and, in the next morning, woke up in a quite

strange place. Up to now, nobody has told me what happened to me, if I died there, if I have

been brought here by someone assigned to such task. Since everything is possible, because

there is no lack of laws in the Divine Work, I am not interested in finding out about it.

So, now I live on a rescuing plane, working as a cleaner twelve hours a day. And I‟m

not the only teacher assigned to that kind of service; people belonging to a much higher social

degree are going through much worse experiences. And, worse still, I‟ve seen people who

were really important in the flesh, being sent to awfully tenebrous places. This, however,

comforts me; what would become of the unimportant people of the world, if the big shots

from there could also buy the justice here? At least, in these parts, nobody can discuss the

condition of a king or of an outcast, for both are in the same dire straits. Regardless of their

titles in the world, of the prerogatives of the earthly society, here each one receives what they

are entitled to.

No one is judged for having been wealthy, poor, ignorant or wise; instead, everybody

is judged by the way they lived their lives and carried out their duties. The Supreme Justice

does not act out of resentment, as the foolish devotees of the world believe. It acts on the

plane of each one‟s own conscience, there where they know their committed fault is. They

will find light where they have placed it. And where they have placed darkness, they will not

fail to find it. Both the emperor and the dustman can be either good or bad.

In the pavilion where I work, I was visited by Simon, a friend of mine. He had been

sent to take me to the service supervisor urgently. My friend Simon, I must tell you, had also

come from intellectual planes of the physical world, had also suffered from shortness of

breath, and had also distributed the denial of God among many of his brethren on Earth.

Nowadays he, too, can hardly believe he had denied the Divine Spirit, since nothing exists

above It. Life leaks Life through every pore; what we see manifested testifies the Immanifest

Supreme in every way. To what extent can we still be stupid, God Almighty?!...

“Let‟s hurry, January, the supervisor wants to see you,” he told me with a smile and, at

the same time, with an apprehensive look in his eyes.

“What‟s new?” I asked him in a curious tone, observing his slight smile and his

expression of expectancy, while I dropped my broom, mop and rags at a corner.

“That‟s precisely what I‟d like to know!” he mumbled, gesturing with his hand in a

characteristic way, and adding: “You know that the Divine Plan doesn‟t want to see us

crawling on the ground; God expects better things from us. Who knows if whatever is going

to be granted to you is also going to be extended to me as a benefit? As the Deity is not that

cold and blind force in which we used to believe, and everything He does is done by natural

means, I always hope that an event that apparently has nothing to do with me, may bring me

something good.”

“When everybody on Earth thinks this way...” I pondered.

And Simon completed the thought, with his ever-present generous dose of common

sense:

“When everybody on Earth thinks this way, humankind will live blissfully – because

the happiness of each cell will only exist as a result of the general welfare. Otherwise,

convulsions of all sorts may shake the foundations of any temporal happiness.”

“Even if the so-called „death‟ has to intervene!” I interrupted him, for an avalanche of

sad recollections came to my mind.

While jumping over a ditch that took the dirt to dark places, from which sad and

mournful roars could be heard, he completed in a sorrowful tone:

“Never doubt it... Only with many, many deaths and rebirths... It‟s important to notice,

however, that not even death, with its whole entourage of life and slashing lessons, can do to

humankind what we could only imagine theoretically.”

At that moment, on the verge of crossing the Directorship doorway, I stopped to

inquire him about what he had just said, for I had not understood the sense of his words. So,

Simon explained it to me in other words:

“Well, don‟t you know that, in spite of the testimonies from the astral plane, which

lead the most suffering beings to manifest in Spiritist Centres to provide unfortunate

examples, the incarnate don‟t behave or try to behave in a better way?”

“But,” I quickly answered, “can you deny to somebody their right to their own

experiences? Start with us: how many people told us while we were still in the flesh that our

concepts were wrong? However, in our opinion, who was wrong?”

“You‟re right.” he agreed. “And this proves that those that pray more are not the

most...”

And he would have completed his thought in a less recommendable way, if the

supervisor hadn‟t overheard us talking and come to meet us. After the greetings, he told me:

“Congratulations, January. You‟re going to leave us in order to pursue your most

cherished aspirations. It‟s my duty, as your leader, to embrace you enthusiastically,

recognizing the value of a vigorous and docile intelligence.”

And noticing that all the suffering I had to endure in a place where there was not

enough air to breathe had, all of a sudden, come to my mind, he, who was a perspicacious

spirit in spite of not belonging to a high rank, observed:

“Those who take advantage of the wise lessons of life are very fortunate, my dear

January. Making mistakes is a natural part of life, since life‟s direction is always upward,

from ignorance to wisdom, from unawareness to awareness. How many are in worse, much

worse conditions, unaware that their suffering is their own doing?”

He made a short pause and proceeded, elucidating his concept:

“Yesterday, my friends, we went out to rescue a great general of the world, who for

almost thirty years had wandered across the fields of blood, slaughter and anguished moans,

which were his by right, following his disincarnation. As soon as we told him that he was

already disincarnated and was suffering the outcome of his own actions, he asked us, in an

anxious tone: „So you mean, sir, that I‟m suffering for having lost a battle?!‟...”

And when we told him that he was suffering for having won it, since he was victorious

from the beginning to the end of his campaigns, he, who understood well his duties regarding

the external conquests, could not understand the meaning of the duties to himself, to the

sacred empires of the spirit, and grumbled:

“But!... How come?... But, sir!... Are you sure you‟re not addressing the wrong

person? For, if I was a winner, what could God accuse me of?!...”

“And what did you do with him?” my friend Simon asked.

“Since it‟s not fair asking bewildered persons for advice, and it‟s fair treating them as

sick individuals, and there was a disposition to re-establish his equilibrium, we took him out

of that place. He will shortly become your substitute in the cleaning service, in this so useful

rescuing plane of ours...”

A whole series of thoughts crossed my mind regarding the teachings of Christ, about

the exalted that would be humiliated and vice versa. Meanwhile, after receiving a warm

embrace from my leader, we entered his room. He handed me the card sent by his hierarchic

superiors, with which I should introduce myself at the place where one of his assistants was

going to take me.

It was Simon‟s day off, and since I had been ordered not to return to the service, I went

for a walk with him in the unfortunate surroundings, where everything was darkness, dullness,

moans and blasphemies. I did not want to leave that place without taking with me some

unpleasant perceptions that could, fortuitously, serve the purpose of warning my conscience.

There, perhaps more than in other parts, the action of the law of cause and effect was

vigorously exposed.

Although protected by the defence barriers, we managed to go so deep into the painful

mists that terror seemed to overpower us, to chase us out of that place. Howls, shouts,

screams, terrible laughter, wails, cries for mercy, whipping sounds, curses; pernicious

energetic influences, foul smells, unbearable stenches, all those things existed there, and all of

them transmitted us their macabre message.

“How many of those recognize that their pains were caused by themselves?” Simon

asked me.

“I don‟t know,” I said. “But, as we always blame others for our faults...”

ELSEWHERE





A short time later, by nightfall, which had no beauty whatsoever in that place, for

tragedy always overcame poetry, I was contacted by an assistant of the supervisor; it was time

to go. I had already written an inscription on a copy of the “New Testament”, to leave it as a

souvenir for Simon. It was hard to say goodbye to my companions, since all those friendships

had been wrought in the crucible of pain… Then we left, travelling by means of volition,

which was the messenger‟s doing.

“There‟s the city!” the young man exclaimed, pointing downwards and showing me a

town with some six hundred thousand inhabitants, which seemed a lot more comforting than

the place from where I came.

“Although the darkness of the evening doesn‟t allow me to see much, it seems to be a

city of happy people... At least, my friend, I can see poetic and mountainous horizons, beyond

those sparse houses.”

“Shall we go down?” he asked me, seemingly unaware of my inner appeal to seek for a

little artistic food, to appease my spirit‟s hunger.

And, in the blink of an eye, we were already at the threshold of a door, being

welcomed by the sweet voice of a lady that embraced the boy and called him son.

“This, mom, is my friend January I‟ve already told you about. He‟ll stay with us in our

home for as long as he wishes.”

I was so delighted by that situation, that I could not tell her what it was necessary.

And, having noticed my confusion, she took me by my right hand and told me, in an intensely

maternal tone, the voice of a mother, which I hadn‟t heard for so long:

“My son‟s friends are my sons as well, January. Come; come to meet some other

brothers and sisters.”

She introduced me to some other twenty people, all of them young, lively and cheerful.

Smiling, they surrounded me, asking about even the most unimportant of my interests, in a

demonstration of fraternal cordiality. And, as I could not hide my surprise before such a

number of children, the lady explained:

“My dear January, almost all of them are my foster children. While in the flesh, I lost

all of mine; and, since I‟ve always thought that life is a social obligation in itself, of a long

moral extent, I sought to adopt and raise sons and daughters of others. The living ones are

there... The deceased ones are here... Others dwell on higher planes... On the lower planes

I‟ve got no one, thank God.”

And her children, I wondered, were they from her last incarnation? If she had lost them

all... I was wondering, when, reading my thoughts, she proceeded:

“That‟s it; my children were from my previous life in the flesh. In fact, January,

nobody has children in the world but brothers and sisters in need of support. Family

constitution is the starting point of the individual‟s collective initiation, as a principle of social

education. Earth is going to ascend to a higher plane, and woe to those that don‟t convince

themselves of such truths.”

Was that lady, a prophetess? I cannot tell you. All I know is that, in spite of having

known each other for just a couple of minutes, she was already providing me with sublime

information. And as those young people were all attentive to listen to her, I also remained in

silence to take a little more advantage of her words. And Mariana proceeded in such a

convincing tone that, I‟m sure, she could even persuade a rock about her concepts:

“The false education of the world will end with the conquest of a nobler knowledge by

humankind. The cycle is widening, and each one will be sure of the obligation of also

widening their solicitude towards their fellowmen. Jacobinism will have to relinquish its place

to the most intense fraternal spirit. Exclusivity is a synonym of misery. And it is in the bosom

of the family that the individual learns how to be selfish, envious, double-faced, despiteful,

rancorous, all for the lack of a better education about the origins, the plan and the purposes of

life.”

I was dumbfounded, genuinely surprised. That lady was advancing to a concept before

which the courage of many so-called educators, big shots of all sorts, including the vast

majority of religious instructors, would bend. And she went on speaking, firm and simply, her

eyes sparkling with the flame of a high and strange inspiration:

“At the dawn of this new cycle, the Christ wishes that all men, in whatever planetary

sphere, receive information about a better behaviour. The blood ties should be considered as

subordinate to the spiritual bonds. Up to now, the spirit has been denied in favour of the

matter; and, since with no spiritual love it‟s impossible to practise other meanings of love

properly, the family has become the setting of criminal instructions.”

She made a pause, stared meaningfully at the youngsters that surrounded her, and

proceeded in a deeply serious tone:

“How many families living on the basis of a true understanding are there in the world?

What examples do their members give? And, in many cases, under the pressure of what

injunctions? How often do the social conventions destroy the true meaning of family

communion? To what extent is the family the cradle of the true social education? Doesn‟t the

family institution, which should be the starting point of universal love, often become the

disseminator of the most maleficent ideals?”

That lady must have known something or a lot about me. She was starting to tread on a

ground that had a great deal to do with me. I had received a lot of negativistic education from

my father and I had passed it on as well; and I had no doubt about the outcome of my actions.

And Mariana concluded her explanation:

“The Law of love is above everything; it does not respect conventional barriers. If this

law were lived, the parents, the children etc. would be mutual friends, not mutual tormentors.

Since, however, the mistakes rise from ignorance, the ideal programme is to provide the best

guidance. And we, who work with our incarnate brothers by means of the manifest Consoler,

should comply with our opportunities.”

She smiled, and added:

“Here I am, talking endlessly and delaying your entertainment... Go and play, for the

music refines the character.”

Then, turning to me, she said kindly:

“January, you and I were meant to meet one day...”

She asked me to sit down on a couch, sat beside me and went on:

“In the course of infinite motion, the factors are in charge of pulling the elements

together. The cosmic forces, the worlds, the stones, the people... There is much in common

between us; but first you‟d better meet your father...”

A shiver ran down my spine when I heard her say that. In fact, I had not had any

information about my father yet, although I had always believed him to be in better conditions

than I was. But how and where would he really be? Therefore, feeling that I could speak

frankly, since Mariana was addressing me as an equal, I asked her:

“Do you know anything about him, Mariana?”

She stared at me, thought for a moment and then said:

“Let‟s not talk about it today; we can deal with it tomorrow. After all, January, love

itself is mathematical... Mathematical and nothing else, once everything is based on the Law,

on God, with God and by God. There is no other prism for it, and the children‟s duty is to

wake to the Father‟s Law. Nothing exists or moves without the Law; without the Law the acts

of existing and moving would be crimes, because they would serve no purpose.”

Judging by the pause she made and the look she directed to me, I noticed she was

waiting for some comment. For that reason, I found myself in the obligation of considering:

“How did you build such a solid character around this principle of Law?”

“In spiritual terms, January, those who search the hidden corners of Morals,

Philosophy and Mathematics have no choice but think, feel and live this way. And with what I

received upon my disincarnation...”

“Have you been to the planes of pain?...”

“No, I haven‟t,” she answered. “The Law of Love is the Supreme Law. Didn‟t I tell

you that, having lost my children, I searched for the children of others?...”

“So, have you been rewarded by God‟s love?”

“No! A thousand times, no!” she vehemently retorted.

“Sorry, Mariana; I‟m afraid I didn‟t understand...”

One of the girls, who had overheard my words, came to sit beside me and intervened:

“Sometimes it‟s hard to understand mother Mariana; but wait, for she has never left an

aspect to be explained.”

In fact, she explained:

“On Earth, the religious world is crammed with ridiculous conventions. So far,

January, men have made of the Supreme Law a plaything of the most repulsive religionism.

Without knowing the laws, they intend to offer explanations for every phenomenon; and the

logical consequence is the theological absurdness that thrives around the world. Instead of

preaching the scientific love, they preach a love based on fear and fetishism – all that

conventional nonsense that ensures the subsistence of shabby clergies. They go on saying

some disgusting superlatives about God, but, in the face of a telluric calamity, such as an

earthquake, a hurricane, a war, a plague etc, they find nothing within them.”

Indeed, the human love for God had always seemed to me superstitious, fetishist,

almost hypocritical. Ninety percent of the religionist recommendations of the world still

concerns the appeasement of God‟s wrath, although, nowadays, in a blander fashion. Almost

everybody wants to purchase the Divine Justice by means of oblations and bribes. The very

prayer, which is the use of the radiant mental power, a tremendous but relative force, as

everything that is relative, is used with utilitarian, immediate and individual purposes. That is

the reason why I was listening to that dissertation with such delight, mainly because it was

being made by a woman, as women, due to a matter of sensibilities and religionist repression,

almost always think the way determined by the clerical conspiracies, and not the way

indicated by the common sense; in other words, according to the product of the best

reasoning, for moral, philosophical or scientific reasons. And Mariana went on:

“Everything has a logic explanation; nothing exists without the Law, and the key to

everything resides in the Law. However, as some are fanatic, others coward, others

animalized, we keep on worshipping the most repugnant flatteries through faults, crimes. Few

think about using Love and Science, Morals and Philosophy as instruments of respect, which

is what God expects from us; instead, each individual and each creed create their own trinkets

and knick-knacks, with which they intend to steal from the Divine Law the right of being Fair,

its condition of integrity, with no ups and downs.”

After a pause, Mariana said she would conclude her explanation after stating:

“The way of conducting religious cultivation should be the one taught by Christ. After

getting the ostensive Revelation by evolution, something that is due to the Law, not to a

favour or impertinence of God, we should live morally and scientifically in the frankest way

possible, towards God and towards our neighbours, and, above all, towards ourselves. Yes,

for how can those who betray themselves be faithful to others? In other words, who can give

what they don‟t possess?”

She got to her feet to welcome another girl that had just arrived, and I remained with

the one who was sitting beside me. She told me her name and said:

“My name is Flora, January. If you don‟t mind, I‟d like to know something about your

future interests. I work at a Spiritist Centre on the crust, and I usually gather elements in life

itself, with which I illustrate the short lectures I‟m allowed to give to the incarnate brothers.”

“Being a disciple of mother Mariana you must have a lot of interesting things to tell

the incarnate friends. She‟s quite rigorous with her concepts concerning the fundamental laws

that rule life.”

“It was life itself that has made her so. In other times, she lived with people who, while

speaking a lot about God, about the love for God, about the Divine Mercy, did whatever they

liked. The Divine Justice took them all in its net of integrity, for this Justice is deaf to

flatteries. She seeks to know and feel God by herself as best as she can, taking advantage of

the lessons of life. The preceptors here always invite us to do the same, for each one has

within themselves the same as the others might have from God. And these instructors don‟t

confuse the human duty to always teach what‟s best with arrogating the so-called right – a

stupid concept, by the way – to convert, save or condemn whomever. We know pretty well

that it‟s by natural law that each one achieves what they‟re seeking, without needing to have

others do it in their stead. Here, January, the external Gospel is mediocre and the internal one

is sacred... Everybody knows that the external Gospel has been corrupted, while the internal

one, although yet to be awakened, won‟t ever suffer such damage. The internal Gospel is God

within us... We‟ve got to learn how to manifest God‟s spark, from the inside out... That‟s

why, in this region, there are no clergies or temples, like in other ones, mainly in those on

lower levels.”

“Where do you gather to pray?”

“The committee announces a place at random, and the people go if they want to. Every

place is a place, for the committee comprises hard-working and non-prejudiced men.”

“So, is there a committee?”

“Yes, but it‟s members are replaced at six-month intervals.”

“How do you perform?”

“Everything is a matter of Essence and Form,” she said. “Since God is Essence, in

Essence we worship Him; and regarding the Form, we study His manifestations. In these parts

nobody makes any physical gesture, or performs any ceremony, believing that such actions

can be useful to God.”

“Did you use the word „useful‟ on purpose or just as a way of speaking?”

“The Law is God, the Law is us; so, how could we worship Him in a better way? God

surely doesn‟t need our formal sanctimonies. We are a divine manifestation, and, precisely for

this reason, we want to gradually integrate ourselves in Him. The meetings aim at bringing

God and us close together, by means of our own powers of being, thinking, wanting, feeling,

and acting. In this region, mind you, the elements that were misled by clerical formalisms

thrive; it was easy for them to let a brother die in the form, provided they could offer an

expensive piece of formalism in the temples. Between giving a piece of bread to a hungry

fellowman and lighting an expensive candle on an altar, they preferred to give the candle to

the altar. And the result was a pilgrimage across the dark regions, for decades in a row. Now,

January, God is Essence for all of us, not formality.”

“Who runs the religious meeting?” I wanted to know.

“Any citizen chosen at the time. Sometimes even a girl or boy. It‟s very easy, for

everything consists in asking to pray. Then a choir sings beautiful hymns, accompanied by

great musicians. Finally, the meeting is concluded with a prayer, but a silent one, which each

one says it in their own way and according to their preference – because we know that

everything is still a matter of ways and preferences. The key is each one‟s purity of intention.”

“And what about the studies?”

“For this purpose, January, we have the lectures, the radio, the press. Everybody

writes, speaks, preaches, studies, assimilates, teaches, and nobody is forced to accept anything

for free. Nobody gives or asks too much. God is Common Father, and the brethren treat each

other as such. As you‟ve already seen, hierarchy is spontaneously respected, because it is

based on natural law, and not imposed by human convention. And the greatest prayer is the

work, the accomplishment.”

“Indeed ...” I agreed. “Getting Heaven on Earth … The Supreme Law is wise, offering

the students an infinite experimental field, so that they can unfold their latent powers. If

certain individuals hadn‟t invented the formalism and the superstitions, the Revelation would

have taught humankind a great deal.”

“And now” she proceeded, “they‟re starting to understand that the purpose of Jesus‟

incarnation was to launch, once and for all, the foundations of a doctrine of interchange

between the so-called living and the so-called dead, so that the KNOWLEDGE would serve

as a pilot for the traveller of the earthly mists. In the name of the Christ, they talk about the

GOOD and debase the Revelation, while the correct sense is, by means of the Revelation,

achieve the KNOWLEDGE and hence the GOOD.”

“Your reasoning is splendid, Flora. Now I understand the meaning of the Consoler

promised by Jesus, as a celestial information discloser. Formerly, I used to think that the

Christ‟s descent to the flesh had aimed only to offer an example of the GOOD. Now I‟m

getting a glimpse of the intelligence of the Planetary Christ‟s works, which was to go from the

cause to the effects.”

“And we,” Flora emphasized, “who live in this house, are all workers at Spiritist

Centres. I believe you‟re going to join our entourage.”

“God willing!”

“I‟m sure He will” and hearing Mariana‟s voice calling her, she left me.

Then, I was surrounded by the youngsters who had just finished playing their musical

instruments. Shortly after, that messenger who was one of Mariana‟s sons came cheerfully to

guide me to the bedroom. I said goodnight to everybody and went to bed, thanking God for

everything that had occurred to me on that day.





------------





ON THE WAY TO MEET MY FATHER





When the morning sun started to illuminate the lands of my new region, I was already

up and on the top of a hill waiting for its triumphal appearance. It was because, in the

previous evening, at bedtime, I had told Mariana‟s son, Mauro by name, how I missed

watching a sunrise. When I was still in the flesh, I used to do my best to satisfy that sublime

delight, provided I could do it in contact with nature. And as Mauro commented about the

beautiful landscapes that could be seen from certain spots in the city, I showed my interest in

watching them by sunrise and so it was agreed.

So, the sun found us ready and waiting on a hill that overlooked a wild valley, to the

Northwest of the city. I breathed the clean and ultra-oxygenated air, and I could remember

very well the time in which I wanted to breathe and there was not enough to breathe. I thought

about those who were still there, and about the Supreme Justice; then I meditated on

Mariana‟s philosophical rigour.

The logical conclusion, confronting those factors with the fact that great prelates suffer

the weight of iniquities too, is that I had to accept the thesis that the Divine Justice does not

act neither by excessive of flatteries, nor by painful roughness of criminal negativisms. To

some, perhaps through hypocrisy; to others maybe due to distortion of customs. It is certain,

however, that if simplicity fails, all seem to fail as merit. The spirits‟ advocate is the

simplicity of conduct. Everything can be observed, learned and disseminated with it. By being

simple, we can endure everything, understand everything, extract everlasting benefits from

everything. In the absence of such virtue, everything turns into deceit; any negative force

overpowers the individuals, prostrating them as outcasts of the Universal Harmony.

When we are assailed by a collective or individual suffering, which takes an economic

or political, social, or whatever aspect, all we wish is returning to simplicity. As a matter of

fact, humankind lives narrow-mindedly, overwhelmed by the artificiality on which the

relationship between individuals and peoples has been based for centuries. All that the social

statutes, the human conventions have been trying to do is to record in the individual and in the

community the natural right to a simple and gradual evolution in every wished and required

direction. And it is then that the cataclysm comes; it is then that the forced stagnation snaps its

tentacles and breaks against the progressive route. After things have calmed down and the

incoercible power of the phenomenon has stirred everything up, the apologists of freedom

come forward, proclaiming the need of simplicity, so that evolution can occur with no violent

shocks.

However, when will humankind finally be free of collusion groups, of the interests

hidden behind closed doors? If everybody comes from the same Generator Centre, if

everybody needs the same fundamental conditions to live, does any group have the right to

usurp the rights of others for the benefit of its own ambitions?

Watching the beautiful scented woods that covered the nearby valleys, I had the

feeling that, although the fight has been established among all realms and planes of the living,

humankind could live much better, provided it had a little more taste for simplicity, for

studying, for feeling and for living life relationships. After all, how much dignity do human

beings apply to their intellectual power, which is what makes them superior beings?

Then, all of a sudden, another picture came to my mind: the image of myself as I had

lived in the flesh, a denier of God, of a Divine Essence. What group had so deeply influenced

me? The anti-revelationist and dogmatic clergies. How much I feared the abyss that

segregated me from the past! Many times I had dreamed, or something like that, that I had

been a priest; that I did all for a ritual based on human conventions, while opposing to

everything that meant progress concerning religion. And I felt as if I was falling into a vortex

of a maelstrom, from which I wanted to escape at any cost, but did not know how. It was then

that I looked at Mauro, who was gazing intently at me, as if expecting me to do or say

something.

I stared at him for some moments, and then smiled. He smiled back and said:

“As a matter of fact, January, yesterday you harvested what you had sowed the day

before... During the christian era, you were a great persecutor of Christianism that was rising

due to the interchange with the astral plane, established by Jesus in the course of His life and

in the great phenomenon of the Pentecost. You persecuted as you wished to support the

levitical rituals. In no way you could admit the existence or accuracy of other kinds of

knowledge for the normal development of humankind. And, with that, you prepared a great

deal of dire straits for yourself in the future. The trap trapped the trapper, my esteemed

January...”

“You mean, my friend Mauro, that my dreams weren‟t illusions?”

“In fact, they weren‟t dreams; you were then, as you are now, under the care of server

friends of our plane. That was the origin of your dreams; we subjected you to the retrospective

view several times, because the time is coming for you to acquire new pieces of knowledge

about your life.”

“That‟s the way the Supreme Justice acts...”

“Naturally, my friend January; all by natural means, one for another, for all purposes,

for peace or for pain. It couldn‟t be different since nobody makes mistakes alone...”

“What might be there between you and me, for instance? Where did we come from?”

“You should first look for your father; then, everything is going to get better.”

“Where would he be?” I wondered. “While I was on the plane of suffering, I often

thought about my father and my mother. Then everything gradually vanished from my mind...

Begging, crying out, waiting, everything was useless...”

“The Divine Justice grants no one this or that for being the brother, father, son, mother,

or whatever, of Tom, Dick or Harry; there is a Supreme Principle of Justice, before which

everybody is equal. Each one receives according to their personal behaviour under the Law,

which is the Universal order. For the ones who have made mistakes together, they will be

accounted for proportionally. Such is the case of a group of beings that are going to get

together now in this region, for a new period of activities, to study the vast field of evolution

towards those elevated pinnacles testified by Jesus in his character. Because, as you already

know, everything is a matter of inner order, of internal achievements, which cannot be

achieved by means of external formalisms. Such is the kingdom of heaven.”

The sunlight bathed those green and flowery splendours in light, producing a fine mist,

which was delicious to breathe. And I wanted to enjoy it for a moment, to experience those

gifts, without having my mind unsettled by other thoughts. Therefore, I asked Mauro to say

no more about us, at least for the moment.

“Agreed,” he answered; “let‟s feel the Divine Presence in Its own Work, as some

spiritualists of the world say.”

“And aren‟t they right?”

“Completely right, since, for better or for worse, who could deny a Manifest and an

Immanifest plane of the Deity? And when are the human beings going to get out of this

intellectual framework and totally penetrate into the core of the Immanifest? To what extent is

human conscience able to understand the Generator Centre? To what extent does his own

intuition, the man‟s greatest instrument of comprehension, reach?”

“Everything is relative in man, because everything is relative in the Manifest plane.

Who would tell me in the carnal world that one day, after death, I would be so alive before

such beautiful and wild landscape? Who would imagine the diversity of planes, of beliefs, of

tastes, of ways of life, of services, in these lands of death? When and for what reason, a

sceptic and sometimes total denier of God would conceive a meeting with other immortal

children of God, friends or foes from the past, for serious reckoning beyond the grave?”

Mauro burst out laughing and asked, while inviting me to follow him down the hill:

“And weren‟t you who said some moments ago that we should stop talking about these

things, at least while we were here?”

“Well, well… Even at this side of the grave, life is full of worries; it even seems that

life is just concerns...”

“And what would be of life without problems?... Idleness? Stagnation? Nothing? But

there‟s no such thing as „nothing‟... So, let‟s try to have good problems!”

All of a sudden, a wonderful female figure sort of materialized just before our eyes.

And because of the unexpected apparition, when I saw, when I sensed who she was, I felt as if

I was going to faint. It was my mother! In flesh and blood, I would say, if we were in the

material world. And, in a certain way, don‟t we have all this, flesh, bones, muscles, sinews,

everything, although in a sublimate degree? What if the law of extracts was not a fact, how

could we come in a progressive ascent, from life‟s lower planes to the splendours of

conscience? Since the spiritual hierarchies exist, why wouldn‟t there be corresponding ones

on the material plane? And since we do not know everything on the material plane, why

would we doubt the truths of the spiritual world? After all, what do we know about the

Beginning or the End of everything? And is there really a Beginning and an End?

On my part, today, riding the horse of life, which gallops freely and blissfully across

the dunes of endless worlds, I can only say that everything is life by principle, and there is no

such thing as death. It can go up or down in expressions, by means of its infinite power of

manifestation; but life is life. And what can be said of such glories if human mind could not

bear the deep meaning of sense, not even by intuition?

However, everybody will, one day, repeat these things with me, because everything is

One in God and in His Glory. That is why, my friends, life‟s concerns are divine even if they

thrive in tremendous abysses. We have to rise from them, and, driven by our inner power, set

forth towards the endless glories. For that reason, let us leave the abysses, because higher and

more dignified destinations wait for us! After all, aren‟t we children of Light, of Intelligence,

of Love, of Justice?

Well then! Yes, I did leave, but in my mother‟s arms, just like when I was a little

child! She told me, I had always been an extremely light and lovely burden for her... That‟s

the way mothers are!... And, if God has made them like this, can we say He was wrong? And

if He did, why? Since the truth is that we all are fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters, what is life,

what is existence if not choice of Love?





----------------





MEETING MY FATHER





In a blink of an eye I was in Mariana‟s house again, accompanied by my mother and

Mauro. The joy I felt for such a wonderful event was so great that I could barely bear it. In

this country of death, things often happen unexpectedly, intensely, as if forcing us to fantastic

inner unfolding. I believe that it is all part of the leaders‟ plan, since it comes from the

Supreme Will. It must be for historical awakening, so that the spirit becomes gradually aware

of itself, as from the depths of its days of yore. Each one has their past, and, without its

assistance, who could march forward? After all, what is right is to have the eternal present in

motion; but, without changing such eternal present with detail, with fraction, with relativism,

how could we know the right way to behave? Aren‟t we already relativity by the Absolute

will?

That is why, although I have found strange aspects in the relativist labyrinths of the

spiritual world, I have not failed to imagine that it would be like this without my insignificant

opinion. Yes, my friends; when the spirit leaves its physical body and its so-called material

habitat, where the differential degrees rule everything, it enters a world where the same

differential degrees multiply infinitely!

Aren‟t there, on the crust, continents, countries, regions, oceans, rivers; cities, villages,

houses, shacks; night and day; healthy people, sick people, happy people, unhappy people;

ups and downs, in all senses, to all effects, everything coordinated around a Supreme Self that

provides Justice, Movement and Evolution? Therefore, if things are like this on that side of

life, if everything moves progressively, gradually, toward the predestined perfection, nobody

should have complicated thoughts, false conceptions, fancies, about this side of life, where

relativism also rules in order to provide everyone with the required means and

understandings.

At a certain moment, my mother said to Mariana:

“Within a couple of days, two of our good workers will leave for reincarnation; I want

my son to replace one of them, and Simon to take the other‟s place. The order comes from the

heights, and we should comply with the task as soon as possible. So, I think we‟d better go

and fetch my husband right now.”

Once again, a whole world of thoughts suddenly invaded my mind. Simon, my friend

who had remained full of hope at the rescue centre, was indeed going to be summoned. What

sort of bonds would there be between him and me? What materially invisible strings would tie

us to each other? What kind of moral power linked us all? Where had we come from?

However, I already felt that I could trust everything and everybody, aware that all fates are in

the hands of powerful strengths. That is why I remained silent, and waited for the events to

develop in accordance with the wise judgment of those great hearts.

A short while later, we were already on our way. Since nobody wanted to tell me my

father‟s whereabouts, I did not ask anything; all I knew is that we were travelling towards the

abysses. First, by means of volition; then on foot, very carefully, holding each other‟s hands

or arms so that, in case of being assaulted by rebellious phalanges, we could use the power of

our thoughts and wills to be safe. And we descended by paths that were unknown to me, but

were surely known to some of the others. A new brother had joined us at a certain site, and it

seemed he was quite familiar with all this.

At a certain spot, we stopped and listened. Darkness and laments, screams and

supplications, blasphemies and horrendous laughter came from one of the sides, the darkest

one. There was an almost unbearable stench in the air, which seemed to come from the

ground itself. It was then that my mother, after whispering something to the newcomer, left us

and went down and down, until she disappeared into the dark and stinking shadows, full of

howls, cries and curses.

A short while later, she came back, bringing with her a figure all wrapped up in old

and dirty rags that looked like a ball of old rags. Since I knew he should be my father, I

reached out to help her; but she admonished me in a very low voice that I should only keep

good thoughts in my mind and behave in a serene manner.

“Don‟t try to teach to the Divine Justice what Justice is, my son.”

After an invitation to say a prayer, we started to retrace our steps up, very slowly,

stopping here and there to listen, until we finally left the worst part of that sad place. I could

get a glimpse of my father‟s countenance, whose facial traits were lost behind the tangled

hairs of his beard and a thick layer of grime. His body was barely covered by those stinky

rags. And I couldn‟t see more for the caravan resumed the walk.

We arrived at the spot where that new brother had joined us; and it was there that I

could see my father better. I tell you frankly, I had never imagined that he could let himself be

involved in such dire straits. Since he had lived much longer than I had, I did not know what

he had done to deserve that. Now I know: denying God was wrong, teaching others to deny

Him was worse; and some other acts of disloyalty performed against my mother and some

friends, all of this concurred to such outcome. Anyway, no one is alien to the Divine Justice;

it determines everything, with no delays or exceptions, absolutely averse to the injunctions of

human conventions. The kingdom of heaven is a principle of essence, not a set of labels. What

could all human varnish, all social appearance do against such a transcendent principle of

law?

Somehow, however, my father was there; and his deplorable condition was a deep

torture for me. He had been a good father, at least as far as I knew and thought. Therefore, I

felt like doing anything for him; but how, with what resources, if the others, who were much

more evolved than I was, kept a superior serenity, with a happy expression on their faces? My

mother seemed to sense the way I felt, and told me, in a comforting tone:

“Choosing the lesser evil is a prudent option, my son; this picture may not be pleasant

to see at this moment, but without it, how could we have it wonderful within a couple of

months? How could we have the benefits from deep people, without going through what is

required to achieve them? Is there anything of real value, in whatever sense, that has not cost

thousands of difficulties to solve?”

“I understand what you mean, mother; above all, I feel that God is Perfect in all senses,

and He wouldn‟t make His first mistake with my father, of all people. Since I have no

knowledge of the causes, I refrain from commenting the effects.”

She smiled with a pleased expression, looked tenderly at me and said:

“As for me, as I know some of the causes, I can affirm that the effects are completely

judicious; who could deprive us of the hell we‟ve build inside with such tenacity and passion?

What more beautiful evidence could God‟s Love give than granting us the right of possessing

what we‟ve built?”

While my mother talked to me, the others laid their hands on my father, keeping their

minds focused. It was an energizing operation in full scale, and my father started to show a

slight twitching of his face muscles. In a short while, he was already stretching his legs,

straining to move his arms, and writhing all over, as if he were waking from a long and deep

sleep. The brothers, in their turn, proceeded in their benevolent purposes. And when my father

could finally open his eyes, I saw they were congested, reddened, showing, in his vague

expression, the evidence of repressed agonizing pain. He was like someone shipwrecked, and

believed he was lost, expressing on his face the unmistakable and painful image of a corpse. I

felt, again, an urge to throw myself over him, to call him, to make him feel that we were there,

that better days awaited him, that his wife was doing her best for him. But my mother stopped

me, saying:

“Son, try to learn how to behave. Very soon, you‟ll be working to help suffering

incarnate brothers, and you‟ll have to apply every safety resource within your grasp. Without

remaining calm, without controlling your nerves, how could you perform such services?

Serenity is a conquest of the spirit, is an asset capable of being challenged, in multiple

applications, without ever showing weakness or failing in its intentions.”

“But he is my father” I answered, trying to justify my mental disposition, which had

been just mental.

And my good, my angelical mother, eliminated my reasoning once and for all, saying

in the most serene tone one can imagine:

“What about those that he hurt, weren‟t they fathers, sons, wives, sisters, and so on?

Tell me, my son, should we expect justice just for us?”

“You are right, mother…” I mumbled, embarrassed, lowering my head over my chest.

“Raise your head, my son, because all problems are natural in life. So, since life is the

reason and base for everything, how and why should you lower your head in face of such a

petty difficulty? Or, are we going to behave like the hyper nervous individuals, who, with

their inner anguishes, see the end of the world in the most unimportant events?”

A couple of minutes later, my father started to utter some monosyllables. We paid

close attention to his words, and verified that he was in possession of his mental capacity; but

he was totally unaware of reality; he mentioned aspects of the material world. That was when

my mother spoke to him, calling him by his name, over and over. It was enough to awaken a

new strength inside him. As his sight was seriously impaired, he turned his head so that the

sound of her voice reached his ear directly, making his understanding easier. As soon as he

identified that voice that might have been so dear to him, he reached desperately in its

direction, calling avidly:

“Angelica!... Angelica!... Is that you? My God!... Where are you?!...”

My mother had held his hands, and he started to shed uncontrollable tears; and the two

spouses spent some moments talking softly to each other. My mother told him everything she

could in such a restricted period of time; then, she told him about my presence there. And my

father, who had seen me in the world as a corpse, for I had disincarnated many years before

he had, shivered all over as he heard her say that. Finally, he asked my mother:

“And doesn‟t God want him to talk to me?...”

His words seemed to contain a sharp and deep grief, and that was the reason why I

threw myself over him, embracing him, kissing him, telling him everything I had in my heart-

stricken and grateful inner self. Although he had taught me to deny God, he had also been an

excellent father to me; and, if each one receives in accordance with their deeds, in accordance

with their own moral and intellectual efforts, why didn‟t I seek, by myself, to investigate that

problem? In no way I would deny the external influence on the organization of the human

character; but what is relatively possible is accounted both in favour and against the one who

influences and the influenced one. Each one ought to think with their own brain! Nobody

should be the negation of the intelligent value of the species! And the father I had there before

my eyes was the man that had spoken against God‟s existence, but like all the other deniers of

the universe, never proved anything! And why should I believe in such an absence of

evidences? In favour of a Principle of the All we have the proof of Creation*, incontestable

evidence, infinitely eloquent; but what do we have in favour of the denial, of the atheism, of

the nothing?

(nota de rodapé)

* Which means Emanation, once God does not take anything out of Himself, but He

Emanates from Himself.

For such and so simple cogitations, I should have realized by myself that my father

could not prove what he affirmed even for himself, and even less for me. Therefore, what I

had done was to worship a demon that I had invented myself. What power would I have

against such an enemy? And why should I blame my father for my own fault? And, I believe

that one day all those who wish to, in a general way, blame others for their faults will have to

think this way. It is true that we all breathe the same air; but is it not also true that each one

breathes on their own? We are, therefore, directly accountable for the way we face the

fundamental problems of life, for the way we see and listen, accept or refuse.

I know I have been blamed for having taught the atheism. I know I have been blamed

for having been a deist through the fanatic prism of an impetuous mosaism, persecutor and

murderer. There is no doubt happiness resides in the equilibrium, in the pondering, in the

middle term, because not even the denier could eliminate God, nor the believer could alter His

essence. For me, there is more value in knowing a little than in believing a lot! And knowing

a little is easy, for every work bears witness to an author, whoever he is, wherever he is,

however he has done his work! Nowadays, this is my conception.

And, since the so-called Creation has increased in value with the disincarnation and the

elucidation in due time, I have made of knowledge my altar and of a good behaviour my

offering. At present, this is my religion. In the future, I expect to increase my offerings.

Following the day I met my father for the first time when he was rescued from his

redeeming exile, many other events occurred, for two years have already gone by. Yes, two

years, with their days, their nights and all their corresponding attributes, because the cosmic

order rules over this side of life, at least to the extent of my knowledge.

My father had been taken to one of the many recovery homes. That‟s all they are and

they do not need to be more than that, once only they and nothing else promote spiritual,

moral, mental, intellectual, and also material recovery of the individuals, in its essential

nature. And do not think they begin from the most material to the most spiritual aspect; there

is an interpenetration of values in everything, although variation on percentages is an

unquestionable fact. In general and in a relative way, the ordeal to which the spirit is subject

when thrown into the abysmal dark regions is a process of reparation, whatever its conditions

may be. Yes, conditions, because the forms of purging vary infinitely and to all effects. Here,

the complexity of life increases a lot; the mechanism of the Supreme Justice wins elusive

forums, penetrating the deepest ranges of being, according to the chronology of the deeds

from the earliest days of its conscientious history.

I say conscientious because I have never heard of anybody who has had to face even

the smallest action performed as an unaware being, as an inferior animal; in the same fashion,

I have already seen terrible and positive cases, in which the spirit incarnated had in his pre-

established program, the redeeming of faults committed more than fifteen thousand years

before the incarnation of the Planetary Christ! And I have witnessed that out of deference to

my mother‟s friends, spirits in a very high evolution level, who, as providers of divine goods,

control the moves of those dear to them.

I saw a certain spirit being placed in front of a fantastic retrospective view camera, and

it had its life history revived, up to that incarnation. Then, the machine focused on the details

of that history, aiming at elaborating a program, gradual in its continuous and spaced

contingency, just like incidents that happen in everybody‟s lives, some as probations, others

as expiations. And, mind you, I am not talking about some ordinary spirit, the spirit of an

average man, of the standard kind. I am talking about one of the great figures of the religious

history of the Planet, one of the most renowned masters of all times and places, someone that

will be never forgotten by humankind.

One of the great figures present at the occasion, a true messenger of the Supreme

Planetary Leader, evaluated it with simplicity. Yes, simplicity, because something that would

make an incarnate citizen think really hard without reaching any safe end, is treated by those

high spirits as if it were the most insignificant thing of life. For the elaboration of a blissful or

unfortunate program, in order to reward good or bad deeds for one sole individual or for the

whole humankind, anything will be studied and applied, with no discrepancies of any sort.

And that high spirit said, in face of the map of responsibilities of the great brother I have

mentioned:

“The same way as the being behaves towards his brothers, the Divine Justice will

behave towards him. Not even a single farthing of the Law will fail to be fulfilled; such is the

intrinsic disposition of the Law itself. The spirit receives the recording of his actions, the

moral weight of his deeds, everything that, sooner or later, will have to be totally reviewed.”

Another high spirit, who clearly belonged to a lower hierarchic rank, commented in a

sorrowful tone, as if thinking about his own mistakes:

“And let the clerical tradesmen go on forging their absolving tricks and

prerogatives…”

And I thought about my days of yore, when Jesus lived His life in the flesh; I felt a

shiver throughout my body – substantial in relation to other dimensional degrees, but quite

solid for me. In my mind, I retraced all my abominable actions as an official of a cruel

fanaticism exercised in name of God! I saw myself making offers of flesh and blood, criminal

oblations by which I believed I would conquer the right and the power to eliminate from the

human scenario, That Sublime Son. He, who, for His evolutionary probations elaborated

within the maelstrom of the hard and normal probations across the sidereal worlds, was there,

gentle and humble, merciful and battered, waiting from the polluted conscience of His lesser

brethren... the cruel reward.

I had seen, on the history map of that master, the character lived by him as the

stipulator of such false oblations. Although not everything that man handles today comes

from his authorship, he is still the direct responsible for the mistake. And he would return to

the flesh within a couple of days, so that, by serving the Cause of the Christ in the restoration

services of the Consoler, he could repair faults committed before, in times of the Atlantis

civilization.

You should, my friends, meditate about what I am telling you with simplicity, so that

your actions will not cause suffering to your neighbour – mainly if such neighbour is of the

importance of a true Master, because, thus, the weight of the crime will increase fantastically.

Sinning against Virtue is an unfortunate act! And how can man know for sure where the

virtuous and the vicious ones are hidden, after they are both enveloped by a dense body? That

is why I say that, without despising the duty of making comparative analyses in order to

classify merits and values, the best is to cultivate that kind of love, tolerance, abnegation, all

those virtues of which the Christ himself gave an unquestionable example.

I have already said that the Christ did not come to invert values, demanding first the

total reparation and then the worship of the Consoler, of the Revelation between planes; I

reaffirm what I said before, that the task of the Consoler will be of guiding man, in theory and

in practice, toward the most accurate knowledge. Expecting Jesus to be considered only as a

moral example provider is depriving Him of the merit of His lived function, granted by God,

of the revelator of the Revelation made public, of the Baptism of the Holy Spirit. The task of

the Consoler is simply of making man knowledgeable. The accomplishments of moral nature

are up to man himself, and it is his innate right to be absolutely responsible for his actions,

according to his knowledge and behaviour.

As the Consoler was stopped by romanism in the fourth century of the Christian Era, at

the time of the emperor Constantine, man was deprived of the right to acquire sublime

knowledge. All this had been prophesized by Jesus, including the Restoration of the Consoler,

which has been worked from the fourteenth century to this day.

The second chapter of the Book of Acts of the Apostles, chapters twelve and fourteen

of Paul‟s First Epistle to the Corinthians, and the Spiritist Doctrine are good testifiers to a

single instructive program, whose gravity centre is the interchange between the planes of the

flesh and those of beyond the flesh. And, since the restoration program foresees a period of

knowledge acquisition that will last for one century starting from the middle of the twentieth

century, all good-willed human beings should study with serenity, with simplicity, placing

common sense above secondary interests – those interests that strive to crystallize principles,

that make of routine a means of life, a vast field for the vilest exploitations. Materially

speaking, Spiritism must never serve as a means of life to anybody, under no circumstances

whatsoever. That is what I say in good conscience.

Morally speaking, Spiritism comprises every moral aspect already known, relatively

exposed in the course of all times. Mentally and intellectually, it provides elements for all

degrees of assimilative ability. The same occurs on the philosophical and scientific fields for

Spiritism reaches countless levels, offering all vast fields of research. Notwithstanding, due to

mental vices and certain already crystallized mistakes, Spiritism, which contains all the

elements of power to unify creeds, will do the great work of disunion, of disaggregation, of

revolution. However, since the scandal will not fail to penetrate the social movements in

general, those who own those little so-called “churches”, the provokers, will have to answer

for every damage they inflict to the Cause of the Lord, and will have to pay to the very last

farthing. In spite of anything that may be said or thought, everybody must keep these things in

mind. The keys to the Supreme Justice cannot be found in the hands of mercenaries of any

sort, just because they can claim titles and things like that.

Nobody can be a minister of God unless by complying with their duties. The duties are

always determined by the laws of life itself, not by conspiracies of any kind of this or that

religion. Therefore, if prerogatives or affirmations of any sort appear on the ample Spiritist

panel, as it could be expected, no one should judge them in accordance with a priori

conventions, but according to the best possible logic, to the soundest liberalism. The message

“CONSOLER, THE RELIGIOUS UNIFIER” has already stated that no man will need to

invent the Truth; the citizens of the universe have the sole duty to be in tune with the

Universal Order! This is the divine program planned for man; out of it, the only reward will

be pain and sorrow.

Not complying with this program does not mean undoing something that has been

established by the Supreme Will; it means doing harm to others, to entire communities! And

this, my friends, will eventually be very costly. The only obstacle between man and the laws

is man himself. Therefore, who else would have to be held accountable for it?

While I was in the flesh, living with my conventional mask, I had the habit of blaming

others for my afflictions and disappointments. Today, knowing what I know about the

successive lives, the good and bad deeds, the huge responsibilities that I have undertaken, I

can tell you that I regret one sole and single thing – having hindered, with my attitudes, my

teachings, my Mosaic fetishisms, etc., the progress of thousands and thousands of brothers!

God Almighty! How terrifying this recollection is to me! Give me, Lord, the opportunity to

repair such tremendous faults!...

VARIATIONS OF ALL SORTS







What a tremendously important thing is the creatures‟ hierarchic scale! What a sublime

thing is the study of the psychic differences! How unique is a static degree in life and feelings,

although it is in direct relation with its lower and upper first assistants, apart from being

influenced by thousands and thousands of others!

While living in the flesh, I already believed that life could not be emotionally equal for

everybody. Each one feels it in accordance with their evolutionary degree, their educational

background, their personal tastes. Here, since everything can be multiplied ad infinitum,

upwards and downwards, for good and for evil, the field becomes fantastically divine.

I know creatures belonging to different degrees, as I have to deal with them, who, just

like me, have to act in contact with many others, because they are spiritist workers. Among

the most elevated masters of the space, as well as among the lowest individuals dwelling on

the planes of the flesh, there are amazing differences! All degrees are linked by a fundamental

bond, whose depth surpasses the capacity of understanding of everybody I know. However,

that is how the school of life is. All this diversity and such a complexity just testifies to the

infinite grandeur of the Divine Work, and of the means employed by the Supreme Lord to

provide His children with a free-of-charge school.

As it is already happening on Earth, men, women, boys and girls, the just and the

unjust, the wise and the ignorant, the rich and the poor, the believers and the unbelievers, all

of them will eventually knock on the door of the Consoler. And while they are incarnated, the

bad are seen as good and the good are seen as bad because of lack of knowledge and

understanding; here at this side of life things are quite different.

Here, also, phalanges of phalanges, mainly those of a lower hierarchic standard, seek

for the Consoler due to the urgent needs of improvement in all senses. It is God in His

wisdom serving spirits by spirit. And how misbehaving some creatures are! How rebellious

certain phalanges are! What terrible things they would do, if they could! Dear reader, when

you move to these parts, you will have to feel the weight or the lightness of your luggage, in a

so real way, in a so simply real way as if it were the most ordinary thing of your everyday life

there in the flesh. That is why you will learn to measure everything, each one of your acts,

from the spiritual point of view, not mixing up the spirit and the matter; but you will also

learn how to solve the problems according to the standpoint of the best analysis, which is to

distinguish between essential nature and organization of character.

The saint is often disguised within the hide of the dissolute! By involution, a child of

God may look like a child of darkness! And you will have to observe how the great mentors

behave, those mentors whose shoulders bear the burden of very important administrative

obligations and tremendous responsibilities. If the astral society were not organised by

portions, zones, degrees, spheres, we could say that it is impossible to assess the existing

order. According to the earthly system, the application of Justice, for many purposes, is a

product of social laws organized by mentors. I don‟t mean that it has been invented there or

here, or in favour of whomever is there or here, as many of those who send messages from

here to there do, involving everything in a pretentious partiality, as if we were living here and

you were dead there, as if we had intelligence here and you had the negation of it there.

I reaffirm that a good or bad character, wisdom or ignorance, have never been a

privilege of anyone dwelling there or here. There you have noble figures, beautiful

celebrations, celestial feelings, alongside so many misfortunes, exactly as here, taking the

planes as a whole. And, to the delight of the incarnate, I say without any fear that, here, there

is not a single fortunate spirit that has not forged such state on the plane of the flesh! That is

the value of life in the matter. Recognize it, therefore, for this is the divine disposition towards

you. Respect your fortunate situation, since no one is there without having undertaken serious

commitments! Do not mix things up, my friends, because confusion leads to the inner hell, to

the most painful darkness!

One of these days we received the order to abandon a Spiritist Centre, for the mere fact

that its conductors had accepted the suggestion of a fetishist spirit, one of those that call

themselves “father” this and “father” that. He recommended less evangelical and always

mediocre practices, such as formalisms brought by him from the low clergies and fetishists

from the carnal plane, and which, here, are greatly cultivated in the lower zones. The

conductors, who had been put to test, instead of instructing that poor brother and refusing to

obey him, were ready to follow his advice. As a result, we received the order to withdraw, so

that they could keep the choice they had made for judging it to be better.

That event put many people to test, and one day they will receive their fair reward.

That is how the instruction program is; therefore, I warn all those who are intelligent enough

to understand that not everything that comes in the name of the Lord really comes from the

Lord. As you well know, almost all the major crimes in History were committed in the name

of the Lord. And the fact that, today, you are able to cultivate the Consoler as your heart could

wish, does not mean that you have totally grasped its best expression in knowledge and use of

values. Men of all sorts, dwelling here or dwelling there, exercise the cult of mediumship; this

means, doubtlessly, that the merits of such exercise vary infinitely. However, we have nothing

totally perfect yet!

I do not intend to say, by no means, that those discarnate mentalities are bad or

downright perverse, devoid of good qualities. I mean that they still have to learn a lot before

they can provide any valuable teachings. And if the incarnate were a little more prudent, there

would be a lot of better possibilities for everybody, especially for such so-called “fathers”,

who live in doctrinally weak environments, influencing consciences, establishing disorder, by

employing less evangelical elements, laws and means. I do not intend to deprive anybody of

their right to act; but I say that many of such “fathers” are just impure children of That Lord

that has granted virtues with other purposes. And many of their followers in the flesh have

ended up in a very bad situation at this side; in spite of being devotees of the mediumship,

they have lost a lot instead of gaining. Therefore, in the world of relativity, everything must

obey the ideal of progress, towards the best, cost what it may.

Therefore, well-meaning citizens of the world, attention to a scene such as this:

qualified men, physicians, engineers, high officers, youngsters, matrons and elderly men, in

candomble bacchanals, asking services to this or that spirit in exchange for tobacco, candies,

alcoholic beverages, which those spirits catch hold of by means of the interpenetration of

fluidic bodies; all of this in sensual dances, indecent movements, smoke and repulsive fluids.

Is this, my friends, the Spiritism presented by the Christ in the Pentecost or that one disclosed

in the Codification?

Under the relativity rule, everything can be improved or corrupted by man, in the

aspect of life he likes.

That is why, my friends, you have to monitor the exercise of mediumship. Knowing all

the fundamental or essential truths does not represent actual value; merit comes from the best

practice. In everything the being, the simplicity and the producibility should prevail in any

way. The first condition does not depend on us; but, in order to be simple and productive, we

have to use our unmistakable inner values, which come from our knowledge, our feelings, our

life. And the logic consequence is the responsibility defined before the Supreme Law, which

manifests from the deepest recesses of each being.

That is what occurred to me; and I know that it occurs to others too, with the exception

of the different forms and ways of purgation. In essence, however, no one takes a spirit by the

hand or by the ear to lead it to the place of torment. In fact, the spirit itself prepares for every

and any end. And that is why, once again, I want to protest against this whole hail of

sentimental and disgusting flatteries that the clergies of the world teach, and with which they

intend to conquer the favours of the Christ, of the masters and leaders of all times, places and

hues.

Each one of us is a temple of the Truth that sets free; all we have to do is to become

clean temples in order to get free by ourselves, without depending on anybody‟s favours, but

with the right to have the solidarity of all noble hearts. Those who, by cultivating Good and

Science, liberate themselves, do no favours to anybody, and nor do those who, for being

superior, teach that which is their obligation.

The religions tell us to worship by means of laudatory formalisms and chants; the

Supreme Justice asks us for decent deeds, compliance with our duties, human solidarity!

When do you intend to open your eyes and see for yourselves? How further do you intend to

go, talking about the pure beings and cultivating impurity? When will you cease exalting

others, and start devoting yourself to the cult of your sacred inner patrimonies? Why do you

worry so much about lighting the external temples by performing formal actions, praising the

deeds of others, and flattering some others, while you leave your own values in the dark, dull,

uncultured? My friends, who is, by nature, more gifted than you are, than we are? And, if the

difference resides in cultivating or not, why do you keep offering praises to the so-called

saints, to the so-called good ones, while you leave your inner altars unlit, with no self-

confidence, with no divine practices? What is the worth of praising these or those ones? Is this

by any chance, going to excuse you before the Law?

If praises had any value, the Christ would not have embraced the need of self-sacrifice!

If exaltations were able to release you, He would not have said “Take your cross and follow

Me”! If chants had the power of performing such releasing prodigies, He would not have

brought down those who worship with their mouths! I tell you, my friends, at this side of the

grave, nobody has respect for your prostrations, your praises, your rituals, your disgusting and

fake adorations! Although you do not realize, this is the truth, you are about to join a superior

cyclic degree, and you will be accounted for some other thing; an account that does no take

into consideration fallacious exteriorities and adorations, but the esteem for the cult of

fraternal love. Therefore, instead of wasting your time in exalting your so numerous saints,

spend it in loving each other, for you recognise that you are all children of Life, of Love and

of Justice! Who really needs your adorations are you yourselves, to each other.

On the part of God, of the Christ, of the saints, keep this in mind – they won‟t move a

single finger in your benefit, as a result of your vain formalisms, of your theoretical flatteries!

You must abandon, as soon as possible, the unfortunate vice of false adoration, which you

have brought from other creeds. Love each other as children of a sole Lord; support each

other all the time; understand each other as participants of the same origin, subject to the same

Plan, bound to the same and glorious Purpose!

For some three months my father has joined me in my services as a guide to two

mediums on the plane of flesh. As an intellectually cultivated spirit, he easily grasps

everything he is taught. He is ascending well and fast to the hierarchic plane on which he was

before reincarnating. And, if he failed, it was due more to the past still to be atoned for than to

a lack of understanding in the present. After all, both he and I had our faults in the cultivation

of religionist externalisms and sectarian exclusivisms. Since we have hindered the evolution

of others, the Law of Universal Equilibrium has imposed us the same difficulty!

Well, let us see our case. A certain lady, who serves as an assistant in the Spiritist

Centre where we work twice a week, asked about a relative of hers, disincarnated long ago. It

was a request for information, an ordinary and praiseworthy request, but which at times ends

for the one who asked for it, but for us here, continues in programmes where nothing is

neglected, provided our actions are allowed by the Law.

Three days later, my father and I found that brother in a quite interesting region, from

the point of view of the mechanism of the Law of Cause and Effect. He was at a large and

seemingly endless plain, full of hollows and boulders, stone and quarries, sand and a

scorching sunlight. He had three more spirits with him, and all they wanted was to escape

from that hellish place!

Sweaty, exhausted, covered with sores, bearded, famished, dispirited, they climbed and

re-climbed the same boulders, walked around the same hollows, retraced the same paths, re-

elaborated the same plans. But they never stepped out of the same place. They remained there,

always there, as if tied by invisible but strong ropes of several sorts!

“And some say that Dante dreamt!...” my father whispered, deeply moved.

“You know, my father, how we can make the incarnate think the way we want them to,

although they judge themselves as owners of their ideas. One day, they will understand that

the mediumistic panorama is much vaster than they imagine. I would even dare to say that

many of those inspired and intuited in the flesh serve us much more accurately than those that

lend us their bodies. Because some offer us their mental field in a certain angle of sense, while

others, who offer us their bodies or just their vocal mechanism, make us suffer the lack of

mental adjustment, the shock of fluids, the type of radiations, the divergences of moral nature,

etc. The so-called geniuses, the great artists, the predestined of any sort are mediums in a

more sublimate level, although still possibly flawed in other aspects of the organization...”

And I would go further with my divagations of a personal character, if that suffering

brother‟s ears hadn‟t picked up something in the air.

“Who‟s talking out there?... he shouted, turning his tragic face in our direction but not

seeing us.

“Somebody who wishes to help you!” I shouted back.

“Where are you hiding?...”

“I‟m hiding nowhere... I‟m invisible...”

“A ghost!... A ghost!...” the others exclaimed, starting to run away from that spot.

“Stop! Stop!...” he yelled at them, with a firm voice.

As soon as they returned, he asked:

“What do you want from us? How can you help us?”

“We‟re benevolent spirits... A relative of yours, a still incarnated lady, has requested

assistance for your sake; and, as the Law has established a disposition in your favour, we

came to search for you. Do you wish to be assisted, brethren?”

“So the mercy of God has descended upon us?” he said, with a fleeting sparkle in his

dull eyes.

“Yes… And no” I answered him, due to my new conceptions.

“Then… Then…” he said, in a suspicious tone.

“God is not vengeful and has no favourites, my friends; so stop appealing to His

favours and fearing His revenges. Everything occurring to His already aware children only

represents the product of inner dispositions. The Supreme Law acts that way. It does not come

from the outside, and represents only the pointer of the scale. Those who disaccord with it do

it within themselves; and those who harmonize with it do it in their inward. Negatively or

positively, any and every event of moral nature will always be of inner nature. Therefore,

there is nothing to ascend or descend in the Supreme Justice.”

“And how did we end up in these parts?... Our faith in the Christ was above all the

cogitations!...”

I realized that I should talk to them, but allowing them to see us. I knew that the Law

had already permitted it, and, therefore, I told them:

“I‟ll answer your questions, my friends, and provide you with evidence of my words;

but, first, I think we should see each other.”

“But how?!...” one of them, a thin and shy man, asked.

In an act of will, my father and I made ourselves visible, and that enough to make them

come running to us. Our countenances were enough evidence of our characters.

“Like this!” I said to the man, embracing him fraternally.

“You‟re angels of God!” he exclaimed, touched.

“Do you know the way to get out from this place?” another man asked, with tears of

joy in his eyes.

But the man that had been the reason for our presence there, as a result of that

aforementioned sister‟s request, interrupted the conversation:

“Id like you, my friend, to tell us something about our coming to this dreadful place.

You said you would provide us with evidence...”

“And don‟t you have the evidence in the fact itself?” I retorted. “By being discarnate

and finding yourselves here, you should know that God, by a natural disposition linked to

you, His son, has determined so. Otherwise, my friends, God would‟ve committed a mistake,

and I don‟t believe you would be able to imagine such an absurd.”

“And what about our faith in Jesus?...” another of them argued, in a lively tone.

“Everything is relative... Just faith and no deeds is nothing, my brother. I said that

everything is relative, because the value of faith, in its relativity, cannot be denied; however, a

factor is only one factor, not all factors...”

“So, what crime did we commit? Only the ordinary sins that any citizen of the world

can be blamed of. Apart from that, sir, we‟ve preached Jesus as our only Saviour, in our

words and in our actions!”

“Then” I objected, “has the Divine Justice committed its first error when dealing with

your case, this Justice that acts from the inside to the outside?”

The man seemed baffled for a moment; then he moved his lips and said with a very

low voice:

“That‟s not what I meant... But...”

“Well” I proceeded, “I must tell you that I know enough about you to speak with the

authority of my knowledge. Before coming to fetch you, I examined the records of your life

plans previous to your reincarnation. I read about your lives, your behaviours, and so on.”

“So” the other one, who had not spoken yet, interrupted, “you know that we did a lot

for the Lutheran Reformation, don‟t you?”

“What I know” I answered firmly, “is that you struggled hard for the Lutheran

sectarianism; I know that you did a lot for your own convictions. And I also know that, for

this very reason, this mistake was recorded in the history of your deeds.”

“I would‟ve never imagined it…” one of them muttered through his teeth.

And I went on, conscious of what I knew for having read the record of their conducts

in the corresponding regions:

“You‟ve preached Jesus as your only Saviour; but Jesus taught that each one would be

their own Saviour, by means of their deeds towards their neighbours. You said to men that, if

they didn‟t accept your concepts, they would be lost for eternity. And, for one of these trends

of an inferior spirit in process of evolution, you even enjoyed many of your brothers‟

damnation... Would you say that I‟m exaggerating, or that the Supreme Law has committed a

mistake?...”

The four of them lowered their heads. I tried to cheer them up for they were my

brothers, they had been fighters, they were idealists. They had failed in a field where trillions

of human beings fail, and will fail; a field where I myself had, unfortunately, also wallowed.

“Raise your spirits! You‟re children of the Light! A great day is waiting for you!”

And the man we had come to search for, after raising his face, looked at us with a

sorrowful expression in his eyes and said:

“Indeed... But then, this crime has been repeated for centuries, for generations and

generations... Jesus didn‟t say everything, He by no means could have said it all by that time;

but He did say that we should love God with all our hearts and our intelligence... Where, in

the world of the flesh, is the human being capable of doing so?...”

My father burst in laughter, talking for the first time to one of them. And then, he said:

“If they only knew about the things existing beyond the grave!... The tremendous

conceptual abysses! The torturing gaps!...”

“What should we do?...” the man asked me, doubting himself, disbelieving his merits.

“Didn‟t I say that everything is relative? So, if you have received the prize for your

mistakes, why shouldn‟t you receive the reward for the virtues put to action? Do you think, by

chance, that only your negative farthing will be counted?”

“Then...”

“Let‟s hold each other‟s hands, my friends... Yes, just like this!... Now, let‟s think

about Christ...”

A couple of seconds later, we were far, far away from that anguishing place. I made a

point of guiding them, on foot, through the outskirts of the little town where they would begin

to live a better life. We crossed orchards and gardens, where the scent of the fruit and flowers

inebriated us with a gentle spirituality.

“It seems a divinized Earth!” one of them exclaimed.

“Who would say that heaven would be like this?” another one pondered.

“And who said” my father intervened, “that you can speak in the name of what is

below and above?”

They had already eaten the local fruit; had already breathed the enrapturing fragrance

of the flowers; had already watched the colourful plumage of the beautiful and joyful birds.

And, coming across a spring, they wanted to drink from its clear and refreshing water. Next to

the fountain, someone had stuck a wooden cross, with an inscription carved on its arm:

“Symbol of the need of self-sacrifice.”

One of the Protestants decided to pray, falling down on his knees. The others followed

him. My father and I remained standing, for we count ourselves among those who believe

more in performing noble actions in honour of the Lord, than in prostrating before Him.

Then, while they were still worshipping according to their own way and taste, a strong

and thundering voice sounded through the air, saying:

“Blessed are those who worship through deeds of love!”

And, when we all looked in the direction from which the voice had come, we saw a

very bright star like shape forming before our eyes, with a crystalline core, which was so

intense that it was quite impossible to stare. Then, it split up in beautiful colours, whose

brightness and influence lingered for a long time. Finally, it started to ascend more and

more… And vanished in the sidereal heights.

Then the four protestants asked me, almost simultaneously, as if someone had inspired

them the idea:

“What is your creed?”

“For cultivation, the Consoler... For Religion, Love... For Science, the investigation

with no preconceptions... For Philosophy, meditating on everything, based on the best and

purest awareness of being a child of God... For Morals, respecting the others‟ rights to the

best... For Justice, the respect for the fundamental and inalienable needs...”

“How do you cultivate the Consoler?...” one of them wanted to know.

“I‟ll show you how in ten hours; I wish to take you to a Spiritist session. There, I

expect you to remember the Pentecost, that Baptism of the Spirit, for whose compliance

Christ descended to the flesh, and for whose solvency He deserved from His lesser brothers

everything that you, undoubtedly, are aware of.”

“And to think that I was always so against Spiritism!...” one of them commented.

“Don‟t you worry about that” I said. “I was one of Christ‟s crucifiers... I considered

Moses as the ultimate master, perfect, complete, and...”

“But Moses prophesized about Jesus!...” another interrupted, in a triumphant tone.

“And Jesus was crucified for bequeathing us a Consoler!” my father intervened.

And, once more, a strong voice sounded, saying:

“And He will be the fraternizer of peoples, on Earth and on the erratic planes!”

This time, however, we saw who had spoken; it was that same diligent German, who

loved the best truth that he knew, and who, in the sixteenth century, advancing from what

Jeanne D‟Arc, Wicliff, John Huss had already done, had conquered, for millions of brothers,

the right to think in a better and freer way about the truths taught by the Christ, preparing the

path for new events in the forthcoming time, when the great mediumistic eclosion would

shake the human thinking violently.

The four Protestants looked with an extraordinary tenderness at that nice figure, which

was surrounded by a halo of light. They went to him and talked freely to him. And he spoke

with simplicity:

“We‟re phalanges of beings that work in order to realise in the world the prophecies of

the Lord. There is still much to be done, especially in the field of Religion, which is one of

those that cause the most disunion between brothers. I deeply regret that, in the name of a

Father of Love and Justice, so many crimes are committed in the world, both there on Earth

and here, where, on the lower zones, unthinkable things occur!”

Some minutes later, the kind figure bid us farewell and left to perform his duties as a

great leader of services.

And we went to the suitable department, where the four new brothers would be

enrolled for servicing purposes. Then, my father and I said goodbye to them, and left to

perform new tasks within this immense general plan, so misunderstood by man, who prefers

to particularize everything, and, in doing so, is rewarded with pain.

After all, for how long will the incarnate or the disincarnate continue to live getting

apart from what they shouldn‟t for subaltern issues? What are the human conventions? Why

should we betray what is superior in benefit of what is mediocre and hellish? What reason is

there to attack, like wild beasts, the dictates of the most tender and purest fraternity in the

name of the colour of the skin, race, creed, possessions, etc.?

EVENTS OF LIFE...

I had promised my new friends to show them, in ten hours, how I practised the

Consoler; so I went with my father to fetch them when the time came. We took them to the

Centre to where, we knew, that lady would go, since we had asked a friend to inspire her that

wish. Therefore, around eight in the evening, we all entered the house.

The Centre assembly room has a capacity for slightly over one hundred incarnate

people; but for the discarnate‟s world, due to the service dispositions and to the Supreme Law

that establishes them, walls mean nothing. So, thousands of spirits were present there; the

leaders in charge controlling everything, the neediest at a side, the less needy at another, the

hardened ones in a more distant spot, the unsociable ones, who wanted to escape, tied and

restrained...

“This is a Spiritist Centre!” I said, showing them the general environment.

“How interesting this is!” one of them whispered, looking at the others with a

meaningful expression in his eyes.

“Who are these luminous beings?” another asked, gazing at the spiritual leaders of the

house.

“They‟re the Centre guides; friends and workers from our plane. They‟re the demons,

as you use to call them.”

They all laughed, and the same friend asked again:

“Why are some people tied and restrained?”

“They‟re unfortunate hardened spirits, great criminals, etc. However, they are children

of the same Father of Love and Justice. They‟re beings that have already dwelled on the lower

planes, and now, due to prayers and preachments, are gradually becoming indoctrinatable, as

our friends in the flesh are used to saying.”

“Do the incarnate know that things are like this here?” another one wanted to know.

“They imagine a thing or two, I guess. However, there are clairvoyants and mediums,

or prophets with such gifts that many of them do get to know a lot about our side of life.

Some incarnate missionaries, during the period of their physical rest, really count on great

prerogatives around here. And I know some others who possess gifts that allow them, in

certain cases, to leave their carnal bodies at will, and come to work here when they‟re

needed.”

After this conversation, we were all silent, due to the opening of the session. I had

asked the leaders to accommodate the four new spirits in, if we can say so, privileged places,

so that, as first-time visitors, they could watch the development of the works in a better way.

I noticed that none of them paid any attention to the incarnate present in the Centre. It

was because they could not see what their physical bodies released at the moments of greatest

concentration, when the chairman invited everybody to join him in a prayer in favour of some

suffering spirit. That is why I approached one of them and laid my hand on his head,

increasing his power of psychic penetration. And the man seemed to be surprised by what

occurred after that and thanked me for the gesture.

Then, deliberately, I went to lay my hand on the white-haired head of the lady that had

asked for help for one of them and, eventually, had caused a benefit to the four of them,

because it was the right time, or she had served as an instrument for the Supreme Power,

which always acts like that. And, as my four new friends watched closely each of my

movements, they clearly noticed the lady surrounded by tenuous light green hue. The brother,

staring attentively at her, seemed suddenly disquieted. I noticed he wanted to come to tell me

something, so I gestured at him to do so. He came, and, getting as close to me as possible,

commented:

“That lady resembles a sister I must have left in the carnal world... She might have

been about thirty-five years old when I disincarnated... Could it be possible?...”

“She was the one who asked for help for you…” I answered. “I went in search of you

by her request...”

Abundant and blissful tears started to run down his face. And I taught him how to lay

his right hand on his incarnate sister‟s head and pray, so that she could feel his presence

beside her. As a matter of fact, he had barely begun saying a fervent Our Father, which I

sensed was the prayer, when she shivered all over, awakening to a different way of thinking

and feeling. Soon, it was she who emanated delicate beams of light unto her discarnate

brother. And the two of them remained, for a long time, involved in a silent but eloquent

exchange of divine thoughts. There were moments in which all the others were looking at this

beautiful scene! It was a brotherly love that linked the two of them at that moment, and above

a pure feeling of love, nothing more important, more divine, seems to exist!







--------------









RETURNING

When a session ends, the incarnate generally leave, although, sometimes, a few remain

around to comment certain events and expressions. In the spiritual sector, however, things are

much more bustling, since the number of spirits is much greater than the incarnate might

think.

Therefore, when the works finished, the six of us, my father, the four protestants and I

got together again. And, when I least expected, one of them exclaimed:

“I tell you, I spent the whole time making a comparison!”

“What comparison?”

“A comparison between what I saw and the great event described in the second chapter

of the Book of Acts. I wanted to see if that grandiose deed was being revived; I wanted to

know what could be happening, at that moment, in the spiritual world, while the spirits spoke

through the Apostles‟ mouths, in different tongues, to all the foreigners present at that place,

as the text reads.”

“Don‟t you forget” I said, “that the number of mediums wasn‟t of only eleven; many

others were taken by spirits. In order to speak to the incarnate, the messengers of the Divine

Master used many other bodies.”

“Once the concept of the event is understood, what does the number matter? Today, I

guess, millions of men and women lend their bodies so that spirits can speak to the incarnate,

according to the Christ‟s promise. However, what do other millions of men and women

do?...”

“They judge without knowing” my father intervened, “remain inactive for being

unaware of their duty, imprecate by sectarian resentment, fail to learn by negligence, and so

on. That‟s it.”

“But, as time goes by...” someone, who I did not identify at that moment, observed.

And, having said goodbye to the spiritual leaders of the house, we left; and I promised

to that spiritualized old lady‟s brother that I would promote an encounter between the two of

them outside the flesh some days later.

To tell you the truth, I did it more for her than for him. I already knew that she used to

leave the flesh well prepared because she had great spiritual beliefs, and the matter had

already relinquished its place to the best impulses of the ennobled spirit. That is why I went to

fetch only her brother and not the other three, who belonged to a much lower hierarchic level.

As a matter of fact, due to his accumulated values, her brother was on the verge of awakening

and ascending to great heights.

“Let‟s go, otherwise others will go for her to help them in certain tasks” I told him, as

soon as I arrived to the region where they had been sheltered, by a superior order.

And, in the blink of an eye, there we were, in the presence of a… seemingly lifeless

body. Where would she have gone? However, placing my hand on her wrinkled forehead, I

summoned her presence. And she came, but I asked her not to take possession of her physical

body, since I had brought somebody to see her.

“Right.” she agreed. “I had gone to the Centre, where, as you might know, we always

work.”

“Yes, I know, my lovely friend; but this gentleman here wishes to speak to you.

Please, be quick to receive him, for he‟s on the verge of fainting out of anxiety...”

“Oh!... God!...” were the first words that brother and sister uttered, as soon as they

recognized each other.

One of them still had his countenance scarred and marked by the painful probations he

had gone through on that unfortunate place where we had gone to rescue him. The other kept

in her astral frame the shape of the tired and battered body that she still carried around in the

world. However, the radiations from the old lady surpassed his by far in hierarchic depth. And

I left them alone; it was already established in a certain plan of life that those two siblings

would have a lot to do in a near future. They were two great workers from the past, involved

in the evolutionary meanders of the planet; they had been seeding and harvesting for

centuries, sometimes better, sometimes worse, but always advancing in knowledge, always

illuminated by a burning flame, by an inner strength, that guided their steps toward the perfect

ideal.

In the early morning, I came back to take the brother with me. Extremely happy, the

two spirits said goodbye to each other, totally convinced of the greatness of the ideal they

shared. After having taken him to the plane where he dwelled, I crossed the space to my own

region, where my father would be waiting for me to carry out some tasks.

That, my friends, is the life of a former atheist; doing what I do, I enjoy a healthful

spirituality, a divine pleasure. By a Supreme determination, which reaches me through the

higher leaders, I prepare the field for the reunion between the Supreme Father and His

children, between friends and friends! And, now, allow me to say to this Father of the Truth:

“What else, my Father, my Foundation, could a son who denied You wish for? To the

friend of death, You have presented Life. To the friend of nothingness, you offered the All as

shelter. To the one who spread moral prostration, You granted the splendour of noble ideals!

To the one who imagined an end, You gave an eternal beginning! Allow me, therefore, to tell

the pilgrims of the flesh and the dark ones that wander in the erratic abysses, that the Truth

that You Are hovers way above the cogitations of foolish human beings!

And you, my friends and brothers in the flesh, please mind my words: cultivate the

most moralized and scientific cult possible. No fetishisms, no religionist idolatries!

Make the Pure Religion! The Spiritism, which is the restored Consoler, should not be

mixed up with religious mediocrities of the world! The Divine Master has paid an extremely

high price for it!... In order to have a baptism of the Spirit, it was necessary that a cross was

bathed in innocent blood! Honour the cost of their heritage!...





---------------

BY CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER

My beloved friends, by the chronological order of the successive Revelations,

Spiritism represents the most advanced point. However, it is not for this reason that you

should assess it; it is for its realistic essence, for its moral, scientific and philosophical base,

and, above all, because it is practical and experimental. Based on these factors, you should

convince yourselves of its immense power of general social influence.

How many thousands of years separate you from the Vedas? According to good

friends from these parts, over eighty thousand. Then we had the Buddhas, Rama, Krishna,

Hermes, Zoroaster, Moses, and so on. However, my dear friends, who poured out an

INFORMER SPIRIT on the flesh? Who had to be martyrized first to then fulfil such a

comforting promise?

Do not be disquieted by what the children of the doctrinal corruption say! That Holy

Spirit, whose baptism is so well described in the second chapter of the Book of Acts, will not

be detained by the great lack of dignity of human religions, which are idolatrous, fetishist,

routine, exploiters, and given to petty politics! A Supreme Power orders otherwise, and all

you have to do is cultivate it in Purity and Wisdom.

Remembering that great day, extending to Jerusalem of races and peoples, and joining

them all in one sole divine embrace, the Consoler gradually comprises the whole Earth, by

speaking to everybody with the language of fraternization. On that day, there was no

segregation of races, creeds, skin colours, flags, nationalities… One single TRUTH for one

sole HUMANKIND! Do you understand, therefore, the meaning of the Pentecost?

I especially consider the present time, a time of transition, of violent shocks, in which

the less aware fail to grasp the factors and often plunge into the abysses according to the vices

and general corruptions. That is why I wish to make my appeal, precisely when the Planet is

passing beyond a new milestone, toward its better days.

I wanted to speak to the old, to the young, to the children. And, thanks to God, I did. I

have already told you that negations and fanaticisms serve no purpose. The important thing is

to know well and to practice better. The Supreme Law, which resides in the inner core of

everything and everybody, does not get impressed by ridiculous sentimentalities, and cannot

be denied by anybody. I have given you, therefore, the living, tangent and immortal example.

This side of life is crammed with such testimonies! So, do not stand in the queue of the

outcast!

God is the GENERATING CENTRE in everything and everybody, omnipresent and

all pervading. You must love everything and everybody with intelligence and kindness, so

that you can apply well your personal freedom. Here is, my friends, the great issue.

Who knows how to apply well their personal freedom? A spirit must grow enough in

Purity and Wisdom to apply the best to themselves. Then, he will make a good classification

of the elements in general to be able to use them. That is the only way to avoid making foolish

mistakes. That is the only way to make a decent use of everything and everybody. That is the

only way to honour adequately what is equal in Origin, Plan and Purpose.

I want to finish my considerations; but I wish to do it with the aid of an extract from

the message: “CONSOLER, THE RELIGIOUS UNIFIER”. I wish to disclose a great

warning, I wish to transmit a prayer that stands for a program of life, on Earth and in our

regions, where humanities throb, fight, long for, evolve and pray the chant of the UNITY

between God and what is His – the so-called Creation, which, for us, is Divine Emanation.

Here is the extract:

“As you see, my friend, since Jeanne D‟Arc, another impulse has driven the human

world toward the restoration of Christianism and the unification of the creeds. The cyclic age

demands a rendering of accounts from the historical factors, which, in their turn, demand a

better and more advanced knowledge from man. Earth, my brother, needs profound

renovations and invigorations from time to time. And the last five centuries outstand for their

most powerful evolutionary content ever lived or imagined. Everything that was only local

takes a universal character. Everything that the great figures, the Vedas, Rama, the Buddhas,

Moses, the Christ, said empirically, must now be said and proved in a practical way.

The era of speaking about the Truth is over; the new era demands seeing and living the

Truth. The period comprising the last five centuries, with its spirit of renewal, is only

preparing the field for more grandiose events, for the great religious unification, which will be

put to action in the forthcoming millennia. That is why we speak to you, so that you can

understand the reason for so many and successive manifestations from the astral plane,

providing human beings with a deep, practical, effective, and real knowledge. That is why we

say to the incarnate that, on any plane of life, in the flesh or beyond the grave, the function of

living is part of the Truth itself, and it occurs under normal conditions. We also say that the

incarnate must not imagine miraculous, mysterious planes, for heaven or hell have never

existed outside man himself, never were extraneous to man.

We wish, my friend, that man understands himself as a worker of God in God,

wherever he is, honouring his work for his only immortal service, which is the self-

glorification. Enough of living on Earth as an expatriate! Enough of trying to purchase an

external heaven by means of frauds, of fake sacraments! Grow within yourself everyday, in

your social actions, and build your inner heaven with the strength of the Truth expressed by

means of dignifying deeds.

The Truth is God. By being a divine emanation, man is the Truth as well. Man must

live the Truth in himself, in the cult of himself in God and of God in himself, for this is the

redeeming rule. You must understand that, apart from the CONSCIENCE OF UNITY,

everything else is false! And the message I‟m bringing to you comes from myriads of great

and distinguished figures, as one fortunate clamour, as an invitation to build your inner

heaven. And every human action that concurs for the internal emancipation of the neighbour

will be considered as the greatest offer to God, in the Temple of His Essence, which is the

inner core of everything. So, love yourself in your brother! God is LOVE and the law is to

love.

Your prayer, therefore, must be practical, accurate, vigorously realistic, as God is in

you, as Life is in itself, as the inner heaven, as the most pressing and noble need. Your prayer

must be the thought of the worker, of the artist, of the scientist, of the real believer, which is

the local and needed action within the scope of the infinite and eternal movement. Very

unfortunate are those who ignore the need of a present, immediate and necessary action. An

electron or a sand grain, a man or a planet, a system or a galaxy, what they all must do is to

perform their due functions. Nothing else. And in order to do so, my friend, you have to

understand the local factors and the function itself. If the matter cannot do it because it is

unaware, for what reason would man not do it?

Man is as imbedded in heaven as heaven is imbedded in man. Enough of

anthropomorphisms! Enough of theological lies! Therefore, I want you to pray on the real

plane of life of relationships. You, your neighbour, everything that is essential for your life

and edification, are present and local. The suffering spirit, the convict, the orphan, the widow,

the sick, the naked, the hungry, are lessons of life. Why do you want to stay in the classroom

and think about the study, the lesson that is not and will not be taught there, a fictitious thing,

extraneous to the environment and to your needs? My friend, learn how to be practical in your

life. Take advantage of your stay in the classroom, which is to live where the Divine

Providence has judged right and necessary. Do not sneak away from complying with your

duties, thinking of strange and distant heavens, miraculous or mysterious, which come by

means of human formalisms!

You will return to the flesh as many times as you betray your duty towards your

brothers in general and the needy in particular, because the Providence has placed you exactly

where you should be. A spirit is a student; an ordeal is a necessary lesson. What is the point of

your attendance to any religious cult if you fail to, first and above everything else, assist your

suffering brother, who needs your solidarity? What is religion anyway? Is it pretending before

God and men? Therefore, as you are a temple of God, as everything else is, worship Him

through the good you can do to your brothers. This is the norm that the Divine Model taught

you.

I would like you to live this prayer, in the radiation of your mental waves, in your

reasoning, in the way you treat your brothers. And it will make you illuminated, blissful,

triumphant, because it is life itself in execution, it is the function wonderfully exposed. In

other times, other missionaries taught great prayers, ways of applying mental power. But

religionism segregated man from God, as they segregated God from His Work. A crime, an

enormous crime. The missionaries want you to abandon such teachings, such mistakes, such

crimes. They want you to live in God just as God lives in everything that is His. So, be

attentive to the concept of the prayer, not to its material form:

PRAYER

“SACRED PRINCIPLE. In the Temple of your Divine Essence, which

resides inside of me and inside of everything, I worship You as Life, Love and

Justice. As in You everything exists, everything vibrates, evolves and throbs, I

vibrate in You, Lord, wishing to know, to awake for the supreme

accomplishments.

To You, God, I appeal for all powers of Life to all benevolent beings. I

wish to cooperate in the infinite movement, in the eternity of Your Work. I wish

to help in the awakening of my brothers, I wish to make them happier, wiser,

better.

In Jesus, Lord, You deposited the Power to Rule the Planet. And I wish

to imitate Your faithful and prudent provider, so that my actions will become

the glorification of Life. In the school of Life, I wish to learn and teach, as Your

fundamental Law has determined. I wish to grow in You, in my own inner core,

where You are the foundation. And I need the support of the phalanges, the

celestial legions, the merciful spirits.

God, awake in man the awareness of Your Unity with him, with

everything that is Yours. And man will learn how to know and love in Truth.

He will feel You as his Father and You will be loved in Your deeds. Ignite in

man the flame of laborious and constructive hope, of the conscience that acts

and edifies for eternity.

In Jesus Christ, we appeal to Your enlightened Messengers, asking for

their support for our divine yearnings. To the guides of all times, we ask their

assistance to the weakened, to those that struggle and weep, to those that wail

on the planes of sorrows, ordeals and expiations.

Lord! Spread the work of the Messengers of Love, of Peace, of

Knowledge, of Health over humankind. And Your children will awake to a new

cycle, to a better Era, to a brighter day.

Grant those who request the assistance of guides and physicians for their

bodies and their spirits, all they need. You are the perennial Source of all that is

good. In Your Name, Lord, may the guides of humanity seed healing, patience,

forgiveness and tolerance.

Grant those who ask for energised water, those who request as we do a

restful sleep, happy dreams and good astral companions, all their wishes. Grant

them a good day, a good night, a lot of common sense, good health and

sanctifying services. Life is a grace for those that live it well.

And I thank You, Lord, for being able to think clearly. I appeal to the

Divine Master and the enlightened legions for their support to the incarnate and

the discarnate sufferers. And, above all, God, may Your Sovereign Will be

done. You are Father and we are children. In You we are servants, according to

the august example of Jesus Christ.”

As you see, my friend, prayer should be life in mental vibrations, just as life should be

prayer put to action. I offer you a pungent, necessary and blissful invocation. How are you

going to pray it? How are you going to live it? When you read it, your mind gleamed, shone

in beams of light, in vibrations of love. A portion of your inner heaven came to light, and

beautiful pictures were created in your memories. How wonderful it is to pray with emotion

and intelligence, expressing supreme aspirations!

Therefore, may all happy or unhappy human beings say this prayer. Those who laugh

and those who weep, those who ask and those who wish to give. It is an action. May believers

of all creeds meditate about it until they can merge into a single creed, which is Love.

Above all, may those who ask in favour of others, those who have to perform

missionary tasks in the bosom of the suffering humankind, say this prayer. May those who

need fluidified water say it. May those who need to be released from astral ordeals say it.

Powerful legions support it, in order to distribute benefits to those who succeed in deserving

them. May those who, due to their divine tendencies, during the period of rest of their

physical bodies, wish to assist their brothers that weep and lament along with the sidereal

illuminated beings, say this prayer. May the children, the youngsters and the elderly say it.

And, concluding this letter, I ask you for a thought of love in favour of all missionaries

of all times. The Divine Work comprises all times and all people. No one has ever done

anything alone. God wants and demands the spirit of universality, of fraternity, of

cooperation. Love yourself in your neighbour and you will be building for yourself a blissful

and prosperous inner world. There is no other way to reach the kingdom of heaven, which lies

inside everything and everybody.



FROM A MESSENGER”





THE END
