The Book ofThe True Life From Teaching No. 153 24. During all eras, I have manifested Myself as the Father. In the beginning, I spoke spiritually to men; they beheld Me descend many times to counsel and correct them. I spoke to Adam, and he listened to Me with humility. I went before Abel, and what grace I found in that creature; and I also drew near Cain, because I love everyone, the just and the sinners. I sent great spirits who carried My light, to teach and reveal the Law and the Divine mandates. But how few were able to awaken their spirit and listen to the voice of their conscience. Some, when they sinned, were able to repent, but others retreated before the severe and inflexible law of Jehovah. However, My Law was for all, and even though My light illuminated them, I beheld more who sinned; the wickedness had increased and had caused much damage to the spirit. Then I permitted for a great purification to take place. Only Noah and his family survived, and they were the seed; the beginning of a new world. I made a pact with the just man, and the rainbow of peace appeared as a sign of alliance. 25. Soon the descendants of those people again fell into temptation. The hearts who had received an inheritance of love, turned insensitive and hardhearted. A clear example for their redemption was necessary. Jesus, the Christ, then became Man and lived among you. He ate of your bread. He lived and suffered the rigors of your lifetime. He performed miracles in order to be recognized. He showed you the way. You lived near Him, and contemplated His steps in the world, and when He reached the end of His mission, how few were prepared to behold his ascension, to comprehend His sacrifice, and go forward without hesitation along the pathway, traced with His blood, of love and forgiveness. 26. Today I come for the second time as the Master. My eyes are seeking those who are to follow Me; those who will be prepared to speak to the world of My coming as the Spirit of Consolation. But with sadness I contemplate the tender and innocent hearts who have become hardened. Their weeping has been so great, that it has dried up the fountains of tears of men. There is no love for Me, nor mercy for one another, and My Spirit, as the Father, suffers for humanity. My gaze dwells upon each heart, and I only receive the pain that you have gathered throughout this period. 27. The Master says to you: You have not taken advantage of the gifts that I have granted you, but the time will come when you will better understand this teaching, and you will feel very close to Me, and you will give Me thanks. 28. Pray, be watchful and intercede for the world, and when the time of struggle takes place, rise and extend My light; spread strength and comfort; remove illnesses, perform miracles, so that when you reach the end of your journey, you will come to Me, full of merits, and you will present yourself in peace before My tribunal. 29. But when will these people become aware of the spiritual mission they carry, with regard to the rest of the people of the Earth? 30. I have said that you should not wish to be above anyone else, nor aspire to be before anyone. Nevertheless, your destiny is great, and even the very nation that gives you its shelter, has to fulfill the part which corresponds to her in this Work. 31. I have come to teach you so that you may give the good news to your brethren, so that when the moment comes, you will carry My message to the other nations. However, I still see you slumbering, without foreseeing the far-reaching greatness of your mission. 32. Do you perhaps want it to be the pain, the misery, the illness, and hunger, that will awaken you from your lethargy? 33. The chalice that you drink is very bitter, and the chains you are dragging are very heavy. You continue being the captive people of the Pharaoh. The more you long for your freedom, the greater the tasks you are imposed upon and the greater your tribute. But how long will your bitterness last? 34. It is necessary for those who are awake, to shake the others from their lethargy as well as those who are still asleep, and tell them that the Lord, like in the Second Era, waits for them on the mount, to make them hear his Fatherly voice, and to show them the pathway that will lead them toward freedom and peace. But all of you should understand My word very well; otherwise, you will ask yourselves: Who is the Pharaoh? What is this slavery that He speaks to us about? From what mount will the Father speak to us? Where will the path which the Father will point out to us lead to? 35. It is necessary for you to learn to analyze the figurative meaning in which I am speaking to you, so that afterward, you will be able to explain it to your brethren without falling into confusion. 36. This environment where you live, in which you are involved, is the Pharaoh of this Era; it is saturated with selfishness, hatred, greed, and of all sins of Humanity. 37. The chains are your corporal needs, which compel you to become subdued to the reigning egotism, to the injustice, and even to perversity. 38. The mount where I will wait for you, is in the conscience of each one of you, the one that I want to be heard within your heart, because My Law is written there. 39. The pathway, is the route that will lead you to win over the desired peace and that freedom you long for, which is the fulfillment of that same Law. 44. Hear Me: since the beginning of the human existence, God manifested Himself as Law and justice. The Divine Spirit materialized Himself before the smallness and the innocence of the first creatures, allowing them to hear His humanized and comprehensible voice. The sensitivity of those beings awakened, to the extent of learning to interpret the Father through Nature. When they lived in obedience, they experienced the Divine caress through everything around them. They also knew about the setbacks and bitterness, which indicated to them that they were at fault before the Father. I allowed the light of their conscience to shine upon them, which is to be the beacon, the judge, and the counselor along their journey. Instinctively, the first men learned that the invisible Father always ordered righteousness, and that order constituted the Law, by which they should live. You named that inner light the natural law. 45. Later on, when man multiplied and in his reproduction he forgot to comply with that law, ignoring the voice of his conscience, and putting aside all fear, the Father, who had followed the son in his exile, sent him men, endowed with elevated spirit for their virtue and wisdom, to remind them of the pathway from which they had departed. 46. Do you remember the just Abel, whose blood I still claim? He died close to his offering. 47. And the fervent Noah, who, enduring the mockery of the people, announced the will of the Father right to the last moment? With their actions they reminded you of My existence and My Law. Afterward, I sent you Abraham, example of obedience and infinite faith in his Father; a virtuous Isaac and a faithful Jacob, filled with strength, so that they would form the trunk of the tree, from which one of its branches- Moses- would emerge; the one man whom I sent to represent Me and deliver My Law to men. 48. In Moses, mankind beheld a reflection of My Majesty. They saw in him justice, rectitude, unyielding strength, faith, obedience, and charity. If, before the weakness of his people, you saw him, in a moment of anger, break the Tables of the Law, having just received them from the Father, you also know that I restored them in his hands instantly, to make you understand that only one Divine Law would govern you through all the eras; that of the invisible God. 49. When the times had passed over mankind and they needed to know their Father more profoundly, He, untiringly in His Work of love, sent His prophets into the world to announce to Humanity that He would come to Earth to become Man; to make them feel His love and teach with His Nativity, His life, and His death, that which is a perfect life. But while some believed in My prophets, others doubted and they put them to death, and with their sacrifice, they prepared My Way. 50. The word of My envoys shook the heart of those who sinned, because it announced the coming of the One, who with His truth, would expose falsehood. While men said: "God advises righteousness, the perfect deeds of love, of forgiveness and justice, because He is perfect, but we humans cannot be," - Jesus was born. 51. It was God Himself who came to the world to deliver His Law and His teaching through a spokesman. Now you would like to know how the body of Jesus was formed. To that I say to you: you should be satisfied in knowing that that body was engendered and conceived by the grace of infinite love that I have for you. From that instant, Jesus began to drain the chalice of bitterness that He was to drink to the end. He passed through all human vicissitudes, enduring all ordeals, familiar with work, of the persecution, of the long journeys, the hunger, thirst, and the solitude, feeling upon the body the passage of time, and contemplating close at hand, the human existence with its virtues and its miseries, until the moment came to rise and speak out and perform powerful deeds. 52. Then, I allowed men to draw near and listen to Me, to see Me, to scrutinize Me physically and spiritually. I allowed man to pierce My body in search of the divine, until he could behold My bones, and My side to open so that water would flow. I allowed the world to convert Me into their criminal, as their king of ridicule, as a mortal remains, and in that manner, they led Me toward the scaffold, carrying the cross of disgrace upon My back, where two thieves awaited Me to die with Me. 53. That is the way I wanted to die, upon My cross, to show you that I, your God, am not only the God of words, but also the One of deeds. But those who saw Me die, and beheld My agony, and heard My last words, said: How can the Son of God die? Why is it that being the Messiah, we have seen Him fall and we have heard Him moan? 54. The men wanted one more proof, and in My love I gave it to them. If I was born as a Man from the bosom of a Holy woman, to render tribute to human maternity, I also descended to the bowels of the earth, to render tribute to its bosom, and conclude My mission there as Man; but the bowels of the earth were unable to retain that body which did not belong to them but rather, to the bosom of the Father from whom He had emerged, and there He returned. 55. Now I say to you: If on watching Jesus die upon the cross, you doubted His Divinity, could you tell Me: What man, on the third day after death, has risen from his grave, without violating it, and has ascended, with his own body, toward the heavens? No one. I did it because I am the Life, because not in Spirit, nor in matter, could I die. 56. Doubt was not only among the multitudes; even among My disciples there was one who doubted that I could appear among them after being dead. That was Thomas, who said that only by sinking his fingers into the wound on My side, would he believe it was possible. He had not finished saying it when I made him hear My greeting: "My peace be with you," and he still had the strength to come near and look deep inside the wound, and touch it with his hand in order to believe that the Master had truly died and had risen. 57. Blessed are those who believe without seeing first. Yes, My children, because the true faith is that gaze which contemplates what neither the mind nor the senses are able to discover. Only the faith is able to discover for man some of the mysteries of Creation. 58. And He who rose from among the dead, comes in Spirit during this period filled with glory, to speak to you again. 59. Who, from among those who dwell on Earth today, are aware that a new Era has been opened before Humanity? For certain, only those who have heard this Word, know that in 1866 a new Era was born; that of the Holy Spirit. 62. During this period I have come on a cloud, or rather, spiritually and invisibly to human eyes. That cloud is the symbol of the Beyond, from where I send My Ray of light which illuminates these spokesmen through whom I communicate. This has been My will, and that is why it is a perfect Work. I know man and I love him because he is My son. I avail Myself of him, for I have created him and formed him for that purpose. I can manifest Myself in man, and I precisely formed him to glorify Myself in him. 63. The spirit of man is My true and only image, because he possesses life, intelligence, will and faculties, as his God. Download a free copy of the book
