I am here again, Judas.
My dear brother, I would like to address some questions that have
been presented in the last few days.
First, I would like to talk about the topic of how we, the Celestial
spirits, find out that some mortal has taken interest in the truth
of the New Birth.
As I have explained in previous messages, all mortals possess a
guardian angel, and in most cases, even several. However, if we
speak of spiritual guides, things are very different. Not everybody
has them. That depends on the mortal's attitude — and of the
spirit, because they also receive guidance. When the soul demonstrates
interest in the spiritual, it receives guidance.
Now, the question is, how is it determined who
the guide of someone will be?
The fundamental principle in this process is, once again, the Law
of Attraction. When people decide to move along Catholic spirituality,
they will receive a spirit of the same inclination, but with a higher
development, to offer them help and service. The same thing happens
with the Lutheran, the Methodist, the Baptist, the Buddhist, the
Muslim, etc. In other words, the decision of deepening in spirituality
does not mean that a spirit of the Celestial path will be assigned
to direct his charge in this direction. However, when people really
take interest in this path, and when they pray for the Father's
Divine Love, then it is a spirit of this same inclination, who accompanies
them. It is not necessarily a spirit from the Celestial Heavens;
it can be an advanced spirit, from the fifth or seventh sphere,
too. Everything depends on the affinity existing between guide and
guided one.
Guides are not always in charge of only one mortal, they may take
care of several at the same time, as in my case. You are not my
only charge, but there are several others, to whom my efforts go.
Not all Celestial spirits work as guides, but many work in other
functions. Everything depends on inclination and individual ability.
As to your Hispanic group, I am aware of what is happening. But
among this group, you are my only charge. But you understand that
they all have their own guides, just that I am not the guide of
all of them.
Now, I wish to talk about a very serious problem. Once again, it
is about attacks of dark spirits against the unprotected souls of
mortals.
It is a terrible experience when such attacks occur and the mortal
feels bad and cries out for help, and when he finally receives advice,
for example, that he should try to pray, he is simply not in the
condition to do so. All advice sounds like empty words, from somebody
who can easily talk, because he is not in this situation of impotence
and frustration. And perhaps the worst thing is, when the aggression
ceases, it leaves a sensation of fear, making the soul even more
vulnerable.
I have already told you once what fear is: The emptiness of the
soul. It is lack of faith. We are afraid of what we do not know.
But you know that these attackers truly are brutal, but comparatively
weak, because all their zeal is empty, and it does not have the
backing of the true power in the world: Love.
These attacks are not continuous, and you should take advantage
of the moments of peace and tranquility to deepen your spirituality.
It is then, when prayer takes force, when it goes out of a heart
in love and with the desire of becoming one with our Creator. And
those moments of peace will eventually be ever longer, and the attacks
will cease.
Fear is what invites these undesirable intruders. And you have
to overcome fear, to shut the door to your heart tightly for them.
Fear disappears with faith, and faith comes with prayer. It seems
like a commonplace statement, but it is true.
Sometimes your uneasiness is attributed to the tension between
materialism and spirituality. This is described as antagonistic.
However, it is not necessarily so. Man without spirituality is like
a tree without roots, and a slight gust of wind knocks it down.
He is like a leaf adrift, a toy to the wind. However, man lives
in a material world, and he has to take advantage of the material
for his survival. Luke wrote
in a message that men are entitled to live well, in the material
sense. They have to take advantage of their abilities, and within
their possibilities achieve the best for themselves, without harming
others, of course.
I can already read your thoughts. You are thinking of pharmaceutical
companies that bombard the public with an expensive commercial,
wherein they attest that they are in the service of health: “Your well-being
is what we are interested in!" "A shameless lie!”
you say, because when in one country thousands of people die from
AIDS under awful conditions, these companies are not willing to
send pharmaceuticals to help them, at a cheaper price, reducing
their fat profits. Because this is what it is all about: Profits!
They say: “Your well-being is what we are interested in!”
but they think, "Our well-being is what we are interested in!
You can go to hell if you want. And if people cannot pay, well,
let them die!"
You are right. It is one of the extremes of materialism. And there
are people, who work or have to work in these companies, decent
people. But I want you to remember something. When Jesus walked
through Palestine, he saw so many injustices, but he did not launch
a "holy war," never hurting anybody, but he worked in
his way, through his example, in his reduced circle. Well, what
is Palestine, is it not just an insignificant spot on the globe?
And in spite of this humble method, without resources, he achieved
a work of gigantic dimensions.
You should also work in your reduced circle. It will be a valuable
contribution. It is as if a battalion of soldiers crosses a bridge
marching in step. Each step constitutes an insignificant force in
terms of the bridge’s capacity to carry tons of weight. But
together, these tiny forces add up, and the bridge will break. Each
contribution is important, although you cannot see its impact immediately.
However, I ask you, what does materialism mean? Is it bad if you
want to make more money to take better care of your family? Is it
bad if you want a little more comfort or even luxury? What is really
bad is, when these material thoughts begin to dominate, talking
away ever more space from your spirituality. It is possible to achieve
a balance; it is necessary to achieve it. This is the great challenge
of life on earth. If you want to be near God, you need not retire
to a cave in the forest. God can be far or near you in the forest
and in your house or apartment.
What does it mean to bet on success in material life, or to bet
on God? If you only bet on your material success, you may win or
lose. This does not even depend always on you, there are so many
influences pro or con you, that you cannot control, you don’t
even know them. If you bet on God, does it mean that you give up
the material part?
Always remember what you read in the Bible: "But seek ye first
the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added unto you."
Success in life will be given to you on a silver tray. And I refer
to true success, which you really need.
Sometimes you find that, when you listen to your inner voice and
venture into what it advises, it is like a trapeze act in the circus,
without a net. However, in fact, you have the most wonderful net
in the world, Celestial support, the Hand of God.
Bet on God, my dear brother, and pray for His Love. You will see
how an astonishing balance will form between your material and spiritual
necessities. A symbiosis will build up between the mortal's facets,
and only so, you will find peace and happiness.
Remember, spirituality is always an attitude. It is not about knowing
it, but living it.
God bless you all.
Judas of Kerioth
