WHAT THE ELOHIM EXPECT FROM HUMANITY

After finishing the third and fourth periods of creation, Genesis says: “And the Elohim saw that it was good,” and after the sixth and last period, when of the creation of man, they add: “And they saw that it was very good.”

Good is the appearance of the other creatures - and very good is the appearance of the only creature who, by his free will, is responsible for his destiny: “I am the lord of my destiny, I am the captain of my soul.”

In the face of this essential difference of being, the act of man should also be different. Who can must do, and not doing it creates debt – and debt creates suffering.  

The fate of nonhuman creatures is apparently automatic, because it depends on the fate inherent to the importance of these beings in the whole of creation; but man's destiny depends on himself, because he is free in his action.

From the beginning of creation, the divine breath was incubated in human creature; much later, that latent breath erupted in him.

But this eruption of the spirit did not come directly; the transition from the vital state to the spiritual consciousness took place through the intellectual stage, which all peoples symbolize by the serpent. And, as the Bhagavad Gita says: “The ego is the worst enemy of the Self,” the intelligence of the serpent in man is opposed to the divine breath as happened to the apostle Peter himself, when he was guided by the intelligence of the ego.

By intelligence man does not become good; he may only possess vast knowledge and insipient wisdom, for the knowledge of man at his present stage is but a drop in the ocean of his ignorance.

Most human beings are still intellectual but not spiritual; the serpent has defeated the spirit and with this, man is still in the first stage of his hominid evolution.

Since the time of Genesis, man has obeyed intelligence rather than spirit, “ate of the forbidden fruit,” stagnated in intellectualized animality - or descended below it, contrary to the evolutionary order of the Creative Potencies. This is the universal guilt of human beings, a guilt that is reborn with every new individual. And this guilt of the intellectual ego is extinguished only by the awakening of the spiritual Self; only the plunge into the divine fire of Self redeems the sinful ego.

The first defeat of the spiritual Self by the intellectual ego, according to Genesis, was manifested at the level of sexual lust, the use of sex inspired by libido, not by love.

And throughout the history of the entire Old Testament, human beings continued this subversion against the Cosmic Laws, which caused the deluge, “because the whole spirit had become flesh”; as well as the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, and three other cities, “because all flesh had strayed from its path.”

And this rebellion of the ego against the Self continues for centuries and millennia. At the beginning of the first century of Christian Era, the luxurious and luxuriant cities of Pompeii, Herculaneum, and Estabiae were suddenly buried under the Vesuvius lava, where the aristocracy of the Roman Empire used to celebrate its sexual orgies; in the ruins of Pompeii stood, for example and proof for posterity, the famous Phornograficum, which can be seen in the Erotic Art of Pompeii and Herculaneum!

In our day, the intelligence of the serpent in man continues to descend further into the abyss of decay, offering humanity the “forbidden fruit” in all its most bizarre forms, including artificial paraphernalia of pleasure and the use of animals in orgies to try to indulge the unlimited enjoyment of sexual libido. Of all other beings of creation, humans are the only ones who seems to live 24 hours, insatiably in heat. The others follow the sexual discipline established by their character in the domains of creation.

Man added to sexual lust, the material luxury of wealth and the social trash of so-called civilized humanity. Lately, lust and luxury have been supplemented by the rubbish of most media and electronic entertainment. These grand inventions of intelligence are at least 90 percent at the service of moral waste; intelligence moves at a giant step, but morals and ethics crawl at a snail's speed. Man does not yet know how to place the serpent's hiss at the service of the breath of God, and for this reason the prediction and warning of the Cosmic Powers in Genesis 3: 17-19 is growing worse: “Cursed is the Earth because of you!”

In the face of this increasing pollution, the great seers of the future, including Jesus, have prophesied unprecedented tragedies for mankind, which are already occurring in alarming proportions. The cosmic reaction against the subversive action of the sinner is inexorable; Elohim's plans will unfailingly be fulfilled, but how these fulfillments depend on human free will. Iron may become rust, but rust does not become iron. “Many are the chosen ones - but few will be called.” All men have the possibility of being part of the immortals of the new humanity - but ... man's free will decides upon the entrance into eternal life or upon self-destruction by eternal death ...

Cancer, scientists say, is a kind of cellular selfishness, in which certain rebel cells, instead of integrating into the organism, proliferate separately and devour the healthy cellular tissues of the body. Human selfishness is an unnatural cancer, which prefers its individual enjoyment to the whole well-being; which sacrifices organic life for selfish addiction.

In order to bring about the end of the world, no atomic bomb is required: it is enough to stop flowing the fountains of human life and health, in exchange for sexual lust, material luxury and social waste, and thus we will see an outbreak of destruction worldwide.

As long as man is guilty, he will always be a sufferer. And man will be guilty while stagnant at the adamic level in which is. The fault of many is the suffering of the entire humanity.

So, it is written in the unchanging laws of the Cosmic Powers ... only the Christlike man will be the survivor!

DA CARIDADE AO AMOR

Se houvesse entre nós mais amor, não haveria necessidade da caridade, porque a caridade é filha da miséria e a miséria é filha da nossa falta de amor. O egoísmo humano, que é falta de amor, cria a miséria, a indigência, a pobreza, a fome; e, em face dessa numerosa prole gerada por nosso desamor, a caridade se faz necessária. A caridade não remedia os males da sociedade; apenas os atenua temporária ou parcialmente; é uma espécie de injeção de anestésico que o homem egoísta que desejaria ser altruísta aplica às dolorosas chagas abertas pelo egoísmo e desamor dos homens. Se não houvesse exploradores, não haveria explorados, e, se não houvesse exploradores nem explorados, não haveria miséria – e, portanto, a caridade seria desnecessária. O triunfo do amor tornaria impossível o exercício da caridade – a não ser em casos excepcionais como fatalidades, catástrofes inesperadas, terremotos, incêndios, enchentes, e outros fenômenos não dependentes da maldade dos homens; nessas ocasiões excepcionais seria necessária a caridade, mesmo entre homens cristificados pelo amor; mas a caridade não seria uma necessidade normal e permanente, da nossa sociedade.

“Pobres, sempre os tereis convosco; a mim, porém, nem sempre me tereis”, disse Jesus. Ou seja, a miséria sempre estará presente onde o Cristo interno de cada ser humano estiver ausente, e, por haver miséria gerada por essa ausência, a caridade se faz necessária como consolação para essa miséria.

Entre os primeiros discípulos de Jesus, segundo os Atos dos Apóstolos, não havia um só indigente – porque habitava entre eles, o espírito do Cristo interno, que é o amor.

A abolição radical e definitiva da miséria está na proclamação e vivência do amor.

Onde há amor, existe justiça! Onde a pobreza não encontra terreno para prosperar, e torne a caridade desnecessária. O cristianismo doentio dos dias atuais glorifica a filantropia, e essa filantropia é talvez a mais perversa heresia dentro do cristianismo. Tão grande é o nosso egoísmo que chega a camuflar de virtudes, os seus vícios, insistindo na caridade e aumentando cada vez mais a miséria.

FROM CHARITY TO LOVE

If there were more love among us, there would be no need for charity, because charity is the offspring of misery and misery is the offspring of our lack of love. Human selfishness, which is lack of love, creates misery, indigence, poverty, hunger; and, in the face of this numerous offspring generated by our lack of love, charity becomes necessary. Charity does not remedy the evils of society; it only attenuates them temporarily or partially; it is a kind of anesthetic injection that the selfish man who wishes to be altruistic applies to the painful sores opened by the selfishness and disaffection of men. If there were no exploiters, there would be no exploitation, and if there were no exploiters or exploited, there would be no misery - and therefore charity would be unnecessary. The triumph of love would render impossible the exercise of charity - except in exceptional cases such as fatalities, unexpected catastrophes, earthquakes, fires, floods, and other phenomena not dependent on the evil of men; in these exceptional occasions charity would be necessary, even among men who were Christlike by love; but charity would not be a normal and permanent need of our society.

 “For you always have the poor with you, and whenever you wish you can do good to them; but you do not always have me,” said Jesus. That is, misery will always be present where the inner Christ of each human being is absent, and because there is misery generated by this absence,charity becomes necessary as consolation for this misery.

Among the first disciples of Jesus, according to the Acts of the Apostles, there was not one single indigent - because inhabited among them the spirit of their inner Christ, which is love.

The radical and definitive abolition of misery lies in the proclamation and experience of love.

Where there is love, there is justice! Where poverty finds no ground to prosper and makes charity unnecessary. Today's sickly Christianity glorifies philanthropy, and this philanthropy is perhaps the most perverse heresy within Christianity. So great is our selfishness that it camouflages virtues, its vices, insisting on charity and increasing misery more and more.

LUMINOUS TRACES

Earthly life is only worth - for the good we do...

By the trail of light, we leave after departing...

If between your cradle and the grave opens a void, a barren darkness, you did not live - you just had a vegetative existence...

“Here lie the remains of someone who died - but did not live”...

My friend, make of your life a poem of faith - an epic of love...

Mark your passage through earth, only announcing love and benevolence...

There are so many evils - do not increase them with your arrival...

There is so much suffering - do not intensify them with your roughness...

Enlighten the surroundings of your presence with great ideas and beautiful ideals...

Why do you have to extinguish these lights that flickers uncertain?...

Why destroy for once, what still holds fragile? ...

Why to extinguish the smoking wick?...

Speak to the souls without light of the eternal lights...

Direct the sad souls towards the heights of God...

Do not look, like a weeping willow, to the earth - which the loved one swallowed...

Look like the cypress, to heaven - which the loved one welcomed.

So that to others you can be a morning sun - you yourself must have a luminous plenitude...

Only the one who is a beacon of light - can enlighten others...

Worship fervently all things beautiful and divine: Truth in words, sincerity in intentions, goodness in deeds, indulgence in judgment, faithfulness in promises, serenity in pain, charity to all - Fill your life with these lights and the lives of others...

No one is unhappy in nocturnal hours - when knows that after dark, smiling dawn rises ...

Overflow over the souls you might approach, the excess of your abundance.

Spread in men the abundance of your light. 

Communicate to the world the beatitude that God has fulfilled you.

Fix the polar star of Divine will - and drive your boat through darkness and storms...

Steady hand at the helm! - serene confidence in the soul!...

Your calm will calm others crossing too...

If someday, discouragement invades your heart - tell the eternal God, not to ephemeral creatures!

If rebellious tears break the dams - cry alone with the Almighty, not with impotent beings.

If atrocious doubts oppress your spirit - ask wisdom for the Sapient, and not to the ignorant.

Live this way as you wish you had lived when death will take your body ...

And so, when death approaches, erects on the souls of the future generations a monument of love - an obelisk of faith...

AMOR

Amor - palavra tão usada e tão abusada!

Quantas ações e reações horripilantes estão sendo cometidas, dia a dia, a toda hora, em nome do chamado amor!...

Mas, quando o verdadeiro amor se apodera de uma alma, desaparecem todos os outros motivos, assim como o brilho das estrelas e da lua desaparece diante dos fulgores do sol. Uma alma que se guia pelo temor do castigo ou pela esperança do prêmio, mesmo que seja eticamente bom, honesto, virtuoso; concorda plenamente com a filosofia popular de que "tudo o que é bom é difícil, e tudo o que é mau é fácil." De fato, a imensa maioria das boas almas vive nesse estágio evolutivo. São tristonhamente boas, arduamente espirituais. Por quê? Porque já descobriram o corpo do cristianismo, mas não descobriram ainda a alma do Evangelho!

Quando uma alma descobre e se identifica plenamente com a alma do Evangelho, começa a experimentar uma profunda, intensa e permanente felicidade, que ela nunca mais vai deixar de ser boa. Ser boa é para ela uma irresistível necessidade - de praticamente impossível ser má, de usar de maldade. Ser boa não é para ela uma virtude, é uma inevitável necessidade, nascida de uma luminosa compreensão, de um amor irresistível e universal. Essa alma não é apenas boa, ela é jubilosamente boa, radiantemente cristã, porque é imensamente feliz em Deus.

Todas as nossas maldades nascem, em última análise, da nossa consciente ou inconsciente falta de felicidade. Uma alma profundamente feliz é irresistivelmente boa e não tem vontade de ser má. Se Satanás fosse feliz, deixaria de ser mau. Se Jesus não fosse plenamente feliz, não seria perfeitamente bom. Deus, a Infinita Felicidade, é absolutamente bom - e tanto maior é o ser-bom de uma alma quanto maior é o seu ser-feliz.

Ora, não há nada que nos possa fazer, real e intimamente felizes, senão a consciência e experiência da nossa identidade com Deus: "Eu e o Pai somos um".

Entretanto, é difícil explicar a um cego o que seja luz... é difícil dizer a um surdo o que seja música...

Essas coisas, e muitas outras, só se pode saber pela experiência imediata.

Quem sabe por experiência íntima o que é Deus, não necessita de teoria alguma sobre Deus. Mas, quem não teve ainda o seu encontro pessoal com Deus, nenhuma teoria poderá dar ideia adequada do que seja Deus. Ele não se apresenta no final de uma fórmula mágica corretamente construída - mas está no final, e no meio, de uma vida corretamente vivida.

Dizer que a experiência da nossa identidade com Deus faça perder o horror ao pecado, é um tremendo paradoxo, pois é o mesmo que dizer que a jubilosa experiência da luz nos faz amar as trevas, que o exultante gozo da saúde nos faz amar a doença, que as inefáveis delícias da vida nos fazem amar a morte...
