Received by H.R.
Cuenca, Ecuador
I am here, Judas.
My dear brother, I see that you are reading the Koran. You have
already read it once, and it did not impress you very much. I think
that you should dedicate yourself to other things.
[H.R.: It is true, I read it some years ago, but I
remember scarcely anything. What I wanted to find out is, if it
really states that Muslims should kill unbelievers.]
It doesn't state exactly that, but it does indicate that they should
kill unbelievers who oppress them. Also in the Bible, in the Old
Testament, there are many passages indicating that the children
of Israel should kill all the other peoples in Canaan, but you understand
that those are ideas born out of the human - or not so human - mind,
of the authors of these books. God never ordains the killing of
other people, rather He condemns killing, but this you know already.
It is necessary to say that Islam is a legitimate way toward the
perfect man, which pursues, in its own way, ideals that exist also
in Christianity or in Judaism. Logically, it is a religion influenced
by the culture where it had developed, but the same thing can be
said of Judaism and of Christianity.
There are many legitimate ways to cleanse the soul, to purify natural
love, like Buddhism, for example. Men are prone to choose one way
and to reject all the other ones, but it is not correct to do so.
All these ways finally lead to the same goal.
I want to add however, something that really is worthwhile mentioning.
When Israel's prophets received their messages from God and proclaimed
them to the people, Divine Love didn't exist, or rather, it was
not available for humanity. However there were already signs that
this Love would be accessible for men some day in the future, and
this ability to predict something that was totally out of the reach
of the prophet's perceptions demonstrates the great rapport that
they had with the Will of God.
Buddhism does not mention Divine Love either, for the same reasons,
because the founder of this religion lived many centuries before
the bestowal of Divine Love. But, in a similar way, it constitutes
a legitimate path towards natural perfection, a way characterized
by the culture in which it had developed.
As for Islam, it is remarkable that when Mohammed received his
messages, Divine Love was already available for humanity. However,
there is not a single trace of It in his writings.
[H.R.: Did Mohammed really receive messages, or are
these the product of his imaginations?]
He really received messages, but as you may see from their contents
and from their objective, they were not messages delivered by Celestial
angels, but by spirits on the way toward the perfect man. Mohammed
had some susceptibility for receiving this information, mainly because
he had already known Judaism and Christianity in Syria, where he
arrived as a member of a mercantile caravan. Back in Mecca, he retired
into a cave, where supposedly the angel Gabriel gave him these messages
which eventually would form the Koran.
Mohammed had visions, information from spirits of the spiritual
spheres, blended with his own ideas and knowledge, that is why you
find many times a twisted version of biblical history in the Koran.
But you have decided to follow the way toward Divinity, and this
has been a very wise decision. I understand that now the topic of
Islam has gained some interest because of the current events and
those that are about to occur. But I tell you that is much better
to dedicate your time to your true goal.
I have observed with great joy that you have decided to help Peter
Kirby to put the book of Alfred Firmin Loisy on the Internet. If
you find time to do so, it would be well-used time. Loisy was an
exceptional scholar with a great perception as to the beginnings
of Christianity. Not all of what is contained in his works is correct,
but he found many valid hints. You will learn much by studying his
work, and if you contribute so that other people may read the books
of Loisy, you will do them a lot of good.
Those books don't inform about Divine Love either, of course, but
they may result in men finally getting an idea that is somewhat
less idealized about primitive Christianity. I advise you to continue
with this work.
I had planned to continue with my description of the spirit world,
and then, when we have finished with this stage, we could use Loisy's
work to clarify the errors contained in his writings and to describe
the beginnings of Christianity together with the Master' s teachings.
Those teachings are already well-known, as he already revealed them
to Mr. Padgett and Dr. Samuels, but it is worthwhile repeating them.
And I want to present these teachings in context with Jesus' real
life. It will be a great experience for you.
For a long time you have looked for these books without success,
and suddenly, when you have found somebody who may help you to understand
them and to separate the correct things from the false ones, you
find them on the Internet, and even more, you collaborate in putting
them on the Internet. What coincidence!
[Judas laughs]
Well, my brother, we can even influence a declared atheist so that
he collaborates for our purposes.
You are almost falling asleep. It is better to stop now. I say
goodbye and I wish you a good night. Tomorrow we will speak of the
third sphere, if God allows it.
Sleep well and may God bless you,
Your brother in Christ,
Judas
