« The importance of names What man is capable of »

Something that we must all understand

  "Then God said, "Let Us make man in Our image,
  according to Our likeness; let them have dominion
  over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air,
  and over the cattle, over all the earth and over
  every creeping thing that creeps on the earth."
  So God created man in His own image; in the image
  of God He created him; male and female He created
  them.
  Then God blessed them, and God said to them, "Be
  fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have
  dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of
  the air, and over every living thing that moves on
  the earth."
  And God said, "See, I have given you every herb
  that yields seed which is on the face of all the earth,
  and every tree whose fruit yields seed; to you it shall
  be for food.
  Also to every beast of the earth, to every bird of the
  air, and to everything that creeps on the earth, in
  which there is life, I have given every green herb for
  food;" and it was so".
  Genesis 1: 26-30
Why if God gave man authority over creation and its elements, every day there is less response to his call? Why if everything in nature was created for the delight and benefit of the incarnated spirit, every day nature seems to turn against him with vehemence?

I know that many would reply to this question that it is due to the bad use that man has made of it, and there will be no lack of reason to affirm that the little care, the unconsciousness, the indiscriminate use of the resources and ignorance itself, are the reasons for many of the problems that man faces today in his relation to the environment.

But if we go further in our analysis, if we dig deeper into the essence of things, we can see that all those problems are not but the tip of the ice berg, because the true cause of the problem is in the lack of love, in pride, in the lack of spiritual elevation that will make us understand that together with the authority which God gave man to be the ruler of the earth, man was also given the responsibility to take care of it, watch out for it and all the rest of what was created; and this lack of care is translated into the lack of balance which exists between matter and spirit, in that collective amnesia which makes man forget that the reason and motive for which God has created a material world was for the evolution, learning and development of the spirit and not for the indiscriminate enjoyment of the matter. God gave us a paradise that we have slowly converted in a valley of tears.

Man has lost his authority over the elements, his authority to be recognized by the rest of the brothers of creation as the prince of such creation, because instead of sprinkling the earth with the water of life, that comes from the love of one for the other, man has sprinkled the earth with the blood of his brethren, with hatred, envy, using the law of the strongest instead of living through the Divine law of love which should govern spirit and matter.

Man, feeling as master and lord has tried to rip out of nature all of its secrets, he has tried to dominate the sky, be the owner of the seas and the bowels of earth, and has even had the boldness to think in conquering other worlds, when he has not been able to conquer himself, or fit to accomplish peace and harmony, life and progress for his own planet. That is why our Father has told us:

             "Have you not said that the world in
            which you live is a valley of tears;
            that is, a valley of restitution?  And
            who made it a valley of tears, God or
            man?  I created it in the image of a
            celestial paradise, endowing it with
            wonders and pleasures, even thinking of
            the smallest and most insignificant
            things in order to assure your
            happiness. Nevertheless, in a world
            created in such a manner, for its
            well-being and progress, for the
            enjoyment and spiritual elevation of
            mankind, men still suffer, weep, become
            desperate, and become strayed".

            "This Earth, which you name a valley of
            tears or exile, was prepared with
            infinite love by Me, to offer it to the
            children that were to dwell in it.
            Everything on Earth overflowed with
            life, abundance, blessing, and delight
            for those who would come to possess it".

            "Nothing in it had been created to cause
            pain to man; very much on the contrary,
            everything was disposed in such a way,
            that when Mankind, with its errors,
            caused itself harm, it would find, along
            its pathway and everywhere, the
            necessary means to remedy its woes and
            to overcome its vicissitudes".

            "I gave man this world as a dwelling
            telling him: "Be fruitful and multiply,
            fill the earth" and truthfully they have
            filled the earth, but they have done so
            with sin and pain".

             "But I repeat to you again, that I did
            not create this world for the suffering
            of man. The worlds are what their
            inhabitants make of them. Behold how man
            has concealed the truth with his
            misleading interpretations, and how
            different he has interpreted the
            figurative meaning of what the spiritual
            life has revealed to him".
Man has always had the tendency to blame God or destiny for everything bad that happens to him, specially when it has to do with phenomena with devastating consequences, such as occasioned by the Tsunami which whipped the coasts of South East Asia this past December.

This has been human tendency since the beginning of its history, since man had the intuition in the bottom of his heart that all the marvels which surrounded him should have an author, a Universal Architect, and that is how he tried to communicate with that creator through his offerings and sacrifices, thinking that he could find in the manifestations of nature, the response of an irascible god, or of a god pleased by the acts of his children.

            "During past eras when humanity still
            did not have the knowledge of the true
            God, they saw in each element of nature
            a divinity. That is why, when those
            forces became unleashed, men said they
            were a vengeance from their gods, not
            aware that, because of their sins, they
            could not save themselves from the
            effects of the unleashed elements".

            "You still retain some of those beliefs,
            because when you see or hear about
            earthquakes, tempests, or plagues that
            lash upon towns, cities, or nations, you
            exclaim: "That is a punishment of God!"

            "Truly I say to you, that I do not cause
            you sorrow. Have you observed with what
            love a gardener cultivates his garden?
            Well, to Me you are like an immense
            garden, in which I behold you as lilies
            and roses. However, if your corollas are
            closed to the sprinkling of My love, it
            is only natural for you to feel weakened
            when the winds lash at you. Why, then,
            do you believe it is I who punishes you?
            It is a mistake to attribute Me the
            cause of your suffering and bitterness,
            because a Father only wishes happiness
            for His children".

            "When you understand your lack of
            harmony with all creation and with My
            laws, you will repent having blamed Me
            for your vicissitudes, and you will
            realize that you yourselves created your
            suffering".

            "These are times of justice for mankind.
            The time is up for you to begin to
            settle your accounts. You are reaping
            the harvest of previous sowing, the
            result or consequence of your deeds".

            "If this were the only existence, truly
            I say to you, that I would have removed
            the suffering from Mankind a long time
            ago, because it would be unjust for you
            to have come to this world only to drink
            the cup of bitterness. However, those
            who today are suffering and weeping, it
            is because yesterday they sought
            pleasure with excess, but that pain will
            purify them, and make them worthy of
            elevating themselves to enjoy, in a pure
            form, the mansions of the Father".
How important it is for us to understand what our Father tells us in His teaching, that we should understand that each of us has a debt to pay before Divine Justice, and the only one who has the knowledge to collect that debt at the adequate moment is our Father. Often, the things that happen in our world, the tragedies that humanity witnesses fill it with fear and pessimism, and many times with anger towards the Divine will that allows catastrophes occur.

Men rebel themselves before the happenings and claim to God His "lack" of love and His "injustice", without recognizing that if God permits misfortune to knock on our door, it is because we needed it, or because through such a trial we would pay back a pending debt that our spirit may have apparently forgotten throughout his reincarnations. But in the book of life, everything is written and everything must be restituted to its original purity.

Have you analyzed what has happened in the world after the great tragedy of this past December? All the different nations had forgotten for a moment of the wars, their own problems and hatred to occupy themselves for an instant to aid their brethren in misfortune, in a moment in which many had lost their faith in the human race and in their capacity of compassion towards others, God demonstrated to us that humanity is not as lost as it seemed because there still exist within it many beings that, even for an instant, recall what solidarity and aid to your brethren is.

Once more, our Father has also showed that things happen when they have to happen, and also taught us that He always makes use of our errors and the consequence of our lack of love to give us lessons of love and hope. From our darkness, He always makes light sprout. This is the true Divine knowledge.

  "To every thing there is a season, a time for
  every purpose under heaven:
  A time to be born, and a time to die; a time
  to plant, and a time to pluck what is planted;
  a time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to
  break down, and a time to build up;
  a time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to
  mourn, and a time to dance;
  a time to cast away stones, and a time to gather
  stones; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain
  from embracing;
  a time to gain, and a time to lose; a time to keep,
  and a time to throw away;
  A time to tear, and a time to sew; a time to keep
  silence, and a  time to speak;
  a time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war,
  and a time of peace".
  Ecclesiastes 3:1-8
            "Man has a time to do his work and
            another to answer for what he did; this
            last time is the one in which you live,
            for that reason, everyone suffers and
            weeps. In the same way that you have a
            time to sow and another to reap, God
            also has one which he granted you to
            comply with His Law, and another to
            manifest His justice".

            "These are times of justice in which you
            must meditate over your destiny, so that
            through meditation and spirituality, you
            will listen to the voice of the
            conscience, which does not confuse nor
            deceive, but guides you along the path
            of peace".

            "Humanity, if all that you have
            dedicated to encourage bloody wars you
            would have dedicated it to carry out
            humanitarian deeds, your existence would
            be filled with the blessings of the
            Father; but man has been utilizing the
            riches he has accumulated in sowing
            destruction, pain, and death. This
            cannot be the true life, the one which
            those who are brothers and children of
            God should lead. That manner of living
            is not in accordance with the Law that I
            wrote in your conscience".

            "To make you understand the error in
            which you live, volcanoes will erupt;
            fire will surge from the ground to
            exterminate the bad weed. The winds will
            be unleashed, the Earth will shake, and
            the waters will level regions and
            nations".

            "In this manner, the elements will
            manifest their resentment against man;
            they have broken up with him, because
            man has been destroying one after
            another, the bonds of friendship and
            fraternity that tied him with Nature
            that surrounds him".

            "You have seen volcanoes erupt, you have
            known of the devastating earth quakes
            and floods destroying populations and
            the seasons change from their expected
            time; You have seen man dressed as a
            woman, and the woman dressed as a man,
            you have seen the parents denying their
            children and the children denying their
            parents; you have seen homes destroyed
            and  war not respecting frontiers taking
            lives throughout your world. You have
            known pestilence, of incurable disease,
            you have seen a struggle break out
            between one religion and another,  and
            even then, man has not yet understood My
            voice and becomes deaf to the so called
            elements that convoke him to withdraw,
            which incite him to obedience, and
            because of this, will have to pour the
            cup of ire, an ire that is not Mine, but
            of all the evil that you have
            unleashed".

            "Humanity: you have convoked greater
            forces than your own, because it is now
            that you should face all the damage, the
            misery and sin that you have provoked
            during millenniums; and do not say the
            Lord is unjust, when he makes you
            recognize the errors of the past,
            because you do not know if amongst you
            the dwellers of Sodoma are found, the
            unredeemed of Gomorra, or the repented
            ones of  Ninive".

            "To those that think that I punish men
            unleashing on them the elements of
            nature, I tell them that they are making
            a great mistake to think as such,
            because nature evolves and transforms
            itself and in its changes and
            transitions disturbances are originated
            which are the ones that produce
            sufferings when you do not comply with
            My law, and you attribute them to Divine
            punishments. Surely that in it is My
            justice, but if you, privileged beings
            with the Divine spark that illuminates
            your spirit would live in harmony with
            nature that surrounds you, your spirit
            would maintain you elevated above its
            changes, over and above the strength of
            the elements and you would not suffer".

            "Do you believe that it pleases Me to
            see you pray full of fear asking God for
            mercy for you when you see the unchained
            elements? I would like to see you full
            of serenity, admiring the works of your
            Father  without your lives been
            affected. I would like to receive your
            prayers sprouting from a heart full of
            peace, of obedience, of compassion".

            "When will you be like princes in the
            midst of the creation and not like
            slaves as you now are?"
