I am here, Jesus.
I have observed you as you passed the whole day thinking of the trance
message that I delivered last June; and above all, the part where I spoke
about the internal voice, referring to the question by Geoff, impressed you
very much. You have wondered if you, too, could develop this ability - the
ability to hear "your internal voice" clearly. I write "your internal voice"
between quotation marks, because, in fact, it is not your voice, it only
sounds in your interior, but it is a voice of external origin - it is our
voice, the voice of the spirits.
All people have the ability to perceive this internal voice, and in fact,
everybody hears it, but in most cases, they don't listen to it. And there
are three reasons for this to happen.
First, it is difficult to distinguish it from your own thoughts, because we,
the spirits, have to use the instruments that the human puts at our
disposition, that is to say, his or her mind. And in that mind, we formulate
the answers or suggestions that we wish to convey. Of course, this voice
doesn't ring distinctively, and since it originates in your brain, it is
part of your mind, the same as your own thoughts are part of your mind, with
the one exception that this voice was implanted into you, impressed upon
you, as right now I am impressing you with these thoughts.
How are you able, then, to distinguish if what you perceive, feel, and
"hear" comes from us, and are not the machinations of your own mind? I admit
that this is difficult, but in this same moment you can already give
yourself the answer: Our voice arrives accompanied by certain sensations;
you have the impression that you are not "hearing" it in your head, in your
brain, but you're rather feeling something, which is formulated in your
chest, in your heart, and is a very similar sensation which you perceive
when the Love flows into you, transmitting the impression of your chest
being contracted, but a pleasant, happy sensation. You feel the same
happiness now, and in fact, I can assure you that you are experiencing the
inflowing of this Great Love that the Heavenly Father grants us in his
infinite Kindness.
As I have said, our coming and communicating is accompanied by certain
sensations that allow you to realize that what you are feeling, and the
information that you are receiving, is not information that your own mind is
formulating, but is something that comes from outside - from the world you
still ignore - from the wonderful world of the spirits.
I have explained to you the first reason, why people don't perceive, or why
they refuse to perceive, this kind of communication: Simply, they confuse it
with their own fantasy. But there is another reason. Imagine the soul like a
radio receiver. You can still remember those old apparatus, which, together
with the transmission of the sounds, also transmitted a boisterous
background cracking. You can sometimes hear this phenomenon even today. When
you drive a car with the radio turned on, and as you move out of the reach
of the broadcasting station, in the same way the noise increases,
interfering with radio reception, making it more and more difficult to
understand the speaker.
In some way, this is what also happens with the soul. The soul has a
potential power of reception, of perceiving our voices, of being tuned in
with the world of the spirits. But besides the work of tuning in to the
"radio station", that is, of elevating your spirituality, of getting ready
with spiritual thoughts and primarily, of a corresponding sustained
attitude, there are other factors intervening with the clear reception of
our messages and our guidance.
You live in a noisy, materialistic world, which scarcely leaves you time to
devote yourselves to what is much more important because it is potentially
eternal: the development of the soul. Well, this is not exactly true,
because, yes, there is time, all the time in the world to do this, but the
distractions and the amusements are so great, that people don't take the
time to dedicate it to the spiritual things. We could say that this
atmosphere acts like an extremely strong background noise. Their upset
thoughts are like the deafening waves of the ocean, like the boisterous
surf, which covers our intent of entering into contact with you.
Therefore, you have to work to make the volume of this background noise
lower, and this is not difficult to do. Take your time; retire from this
world from time to time. For this purpose you don't need enter a monastery,
no, just retire to a calm, silent place, a separate room, a corner in the
forest or in the near-by park where you may stay awhile all alone, all alone
with us and with God. You will be surprised how quickly your perception of
our guidance will increase.
When I lived on earth, the world was calmer; noisy, yes, but we had more
moments for contemplation, at least those of us who enjoyed the invaluable
gift of freedom. As a boy, when studying the Hebrew Scriptures, many times I
felt that interior voice very clearly, and I was always filled with a great
deal of happiness.
As we informed you in other messages, I was born without sin; that is to
say, I didn't have those encrustments which deform the soul, and this is
very important to take into consideration. These encrustments are the third
reason, why you, many of you, have so much difficulty in receiving our
guidance. You could compare these encrustments with an insulating layer
muffling our voice, and this, in combination with the aforementioned
background noise, makes the perception of our advice and messages almost
impossible.
Therefore, besides retirement and meditation, there is another work that you
have to do in order to improve reception. You have to remove, to tear away
and eliminate, these encrustments. And there is only one instrument which
serves this purpose well: Prayer. We are attracted by prayer, and more
important still, it attracts the God's Love, and jointly we can undertake
the work of cleansing, detaching these parts alien to the soul, like the
coral which covers the sunken ship.
As an adolescent, I used to retire frequently. In my free moments, I liked
to climb atop the hills, to withdraw to the forests, and there, in the
soothing atmosphere of nature, enter into conversation with the Heavenly
Father. My mother called this "mysticism", this strange communion with
nature. Well, in some way this was true, but still more, it was the contact
with my Heavenly Father, my conversations with Him, and the immense
happiness offered me by this proximity with our Creator, who for me didn't
live far away up in His Heavens, but very close, so near in fact, that I
could so easily turn to Him in all my concerns and worries.
Conversation, you ask me? Yes, they were really conversations, and they
continue this way, even clearer, more transparent and translucent. And as
you now receive impressions, and questions and doubts are forming in your
mind, the same happened with me, and the answer arrived immediately, like in
your case. Am I not responding to your questions? Aren't you the one who
conducts, in some way, this communication, through your questions and
doubts? Ah, you're beginning to realize! And you feel very happy; it is one
of the happiest moments in your life, and you can repeat it - we can repeat
it! We are awaiting your call, but we are also waiting for you to get into
the necessary condition so that we can really take advantage of this
opportunity.
My dear brother, we are anxious to get into close contact with you, with all
of you. So, give us the opportunity, get ready, tune in, and you will live,
even here on earth, in heavenly moments, moments all of you may enjoy, if
you only get ready and contribute your share to this mutual enterprise.
Think it over, listen to me, and may God bless you all,
Jesus
