My dear brother H___, it has been an enormous pleasure to follow
the interchange of ideas you have had with M___. She is truly a
beautiful soul and the progress she achieved in so short a time
is admirable. As you recall, we have spoken several times of the
widening of awareness, and she is typical of this process. I would
like to take this opportunity to express my comments in this respect.
Your “conversation” dealt with the inner voice. And this
is great, because it demonstrates that you both have realized the
immense importance this voice has. It is the door for communication
between spirits and mortals, it is the door for communication with
our Heavenly Father, in other words, for following a straight and
safe way. It is absolutely vital to develop this voice, or rather,
the perception of this voice.
You suffer from the great fault of doubting everything, and she
is quite similar in this regard. I use the word suffer, because
this trait really does not contribute to happiness, but even human
faults may be exploited for good.
You wondered if this inner voice has ever been studied. And you
came up with examples which could indicate that the so-called inner
voice does not work in the same way with all people.
On some islands of the South Pacific people used to force their
“old” ones to climb up palm-trees, and then they shook
those trees. Some fell down and died. They were the people who did
not have sufficient strength to sustain themselves. And this has
been their solution to prevent those “useless ancients”
being a burden to society.
The Eskimos used to send their old ones away from their homes,
and they left and perished from cold. In principle, it is the same
approach.
And then some questions came to mind. In the society in which you
live, this is inconceivable and barbarous. It is obviously a behavior
born out of some culture and of needs in extreme conditions, in
order to safeguard reduced food resources for the strongest, and
for preventing overpopulation. Are culture and education really
capable, through the great power they have, of hiding completely
this inner voice? Because this voice supposedly teaches all of us
the same values, because they are absolute “values". But
in practice, values vary according to culture. People who infringe
those absolute values, do they feel that they are doing something
wrong? Do they perceive at least some sensation of ill-feeling,
but accept this by tradition and through the thoughts of the "material
mind" that this is very sad, yet it provides the only practicable
solution? Or simply don’t they hear this voice?
Catholic religion speaks of the education or formation of consciousness.
But isn’t this a contradiction in itself? Because, as you perceive,
if values are absolute, it is not possible to educate this voice,
it is only possible to awaken it. And so you wonder, if the existence
of this universal and uniform consciousness can be proven.
Up to here are your thoughts.
And then comes M___’s response:
“What crossed my mind is that having been created in the image
of God, we are His thoughts. Thoughts which require His Substance
in order to know themselves. What is this Substance? Yes, I know
it is something that transforms our soul from a distant thought
of Him into one which is in Him, like something which enters into
the loop of understanding all with Him, in Him. I guess it would
be like hearing His thoughts as we hear the news, and we would act
in accordance with this logic of thought.
I thought that he, who believes, creates. I mean, when we believe,
we create. How difficult is the expression “to create,”
because it is so easy to confuse with “to believe” (translator’s
note: In Spanish, to believe and to create are creer and crear).
Just look, the reason why we are as we are, no matter what the circumstance
may be in which we live, it is because we believe that it is so,
and so we create it when believing it. Look, women in a given century,
for example, used to be put into a monastery for some motive, which
can only be understood in the context of that time, now this practice
is understood differently, it has taken on a different meaning,
and hence we, women, already handle things differently. The same
is valid for men, I put forth the example of women, because it came
up in order to understand what we are discussing.
I thought that as things are here, so they are there, nevertheless
they are different.
Thoughts are creators. I remembered the inner voice. And I think
that it is pure and clean desire. Desires we sell for the price
of the outer shell, I mean, seeing with our body’s eyes, unfortunately.
Because pure and clean desire, without being mixed with our desire
to gain recognition by others, and to be loved and to be the better
than this or that fellow, and to be … etc., which hampers our
lives so much, this pure and clean desire does not know passion,
it is knowledge in itself, a thought in itself, and that’s
it. That thought in itself is not mine or his or hers, it is His
thought. Well, this is what I have thought, trying to penetrate
the 'depths of the heights'.”
Additionally she remarked:
“No, my opinion is that nothing, absolutely nothing has enough
force to cover up such an inner voice. On the contrary, suffering would
not exist. One suffers when putting last one’s pure desires.”
She expressed her opinion that if we all hear the inner voice,
and this voice transmits absolute values, then we all know the truth.
And as to differences in cultures, she wrote:
“We all hear this voice. We only prefer the visible to the
invisible. We prefer the outer shell to our own truth; we prefer
death of life to life itself. We are a bunch of fools.”
And as to the awakening of consciousness, she remarked:
“I think, yes, that is what psychoanalysts, without having
gone so far, have come to name unconscious mind. It is what Carlos
Castañeda called the silent knowledge, it is what .... well,
I can’t come up with more, but I guess that many, very many
have spoken about this, using the terms they have been able to use.”
And here you remembered that you had read about the subconscious
mind in the Padgett messages. When Helen explained her husband how
she wrote through him,
she stated:
“Let go the idea that you are writing things which emanate
from what is sometimes called your subconscious mind, for you have
no subconscious mind, and the philosophers who teach such an idea
are not acquainted with the laws of the mind. The mind is only the
spiritual evidence of thoughts that congregate in the brain, but
which really are not a part of the material thing which the 'wise
men' call the subconscious self or mind.”
Mr. Riddle, a friend of Mr. Padgett’s, wrote
him:
“There is no such thing as the subconscious mind, the only
mind that you have is the one that enables you to express what you
really know of your own thoughts which do not depend upon what others
may infuse into your brain as I am doing now, but which have their
origination in your brain and which do not result from exterior
minds. What is called the subconscious mind is merely an imaginary
thing used by the scientist to denote that which they have no better
name to call it by. It is not a part of your self or your brain,
but only the image that these wise men use for what they are not
able to explain.”
Very well. Now I will put forth my impressions.
First, M___’s answer is worthy of an angel. I was supremely
happy when I saw how she found this explanation, through her own
comprehension, without our contribution implanting our thoughts
into her brain. It is the product of her increased awareness.
As she expressed it, men, or human souls, are living thoughts of
the Father, gifted with countless attributes and liberties, like
the free will and man’s own capacity of reasoning.
God’s pure thought is still present. I will give you an example.
You read that scientists detected a background radiation, which
astronomy interprets as a feeble remainder of the radiation produced
at the moment of the “Big Bang”. In other words, this
radiation is like a footprint left behind in the moment of our universe’s
creation, and it allows us to follow back the development until
the very moment of creation.
Something similar happens with us. Our souls possess this “background
radiation”, in form of a minimum awareness, which is very weak
and may be covered over quite easily. Part of this awareness is that
God does exist, that God loves us, also the knowledge of good and
evil, in short, it is a trace which allows us, provided we pay attention
to it, to find a straight and safe way to our destiny: At-onement
with God. This “background radiation” forms part of what
scientists call the subconscious mind.
But the situation becomes complicated when we consider that there
are other influences which act upon our subconscious mind. Those
are the ideas and the guidance of spirits. And they, too, form part
of our so-called inner voice. It is those ideas and this guidance that
comes from Celestial spirits or from higher spirits of the spiritual
realm and they are in complete harmony with God’s original
thought. But there is the possibility that dark spirits may convey their
thoughts, and then some conflict will arise. In other words, there
may be a conflict in the subconscious mind itself. And to this potential
conflict, the conflict between the material mind and the subconscious
mind adds futher confusion. Someday we will analyze exactly what
the material mind is.
As always, we come back to the same subject. From what I have put
forth previously, we can conclude that listening to their inner
voice does not constitute a priori a reliable guidance for men,
due to the possible negative spirit influence. So it is necessary
to tune in to a reliable source for guidance and information. The
instrument is, of course, prayer. Besides the many benefits prayer
brings to us, it also elevates our spirituality. To raise spirituality
means to block the access for spirits of little spirituality to
our soul, and to open up the access for bright spirits. This is
the only way that we may transform our inner voice into a reliable
compass showing the right course. Additionally, there is the effect
that just as we will perceive eventually the good spirits’
voice more clearly, we can also listen to the far-away echo of the
very Voice of the Heavenly Father Himself, His Thought, which lives
in us like the delicate whisper of absolute Truth.
And as M___ clearly understood, when we obtain God’s Substance,
this whisper becomes a clear thought, our own thought, for our soul’s
mind moves toward, with, and in the Father. The thought which one
day left God, returns to its source, unites with its source, and
lives in absolute harmony.
Those thoughts are things. This sounds strange, but if we reformulate
it to say “all thoughts materialize in tangible things”,
it will be easier to understand.
This happens also with the mortals’ thoughts. They materialize
individually or as a whole, on earth or in the spirit world. We
are co-creators; you are still unconscious, but we are fully conscious
creators.
Perhaps you may now better comprehend the significance of the phrase
“the mind is only the spiritual evidence of thoughts that congregate
in the brain, but which really are not a part of the material thing
which the 'wise men' call the subconscious self or mind.” And
besides, as the word ego is mentioned, take note that we will soon
analyze more thoroughly the question of individuality.
Today’s message has been very difficult, but you received
it well. Tell M___, who always sends me her greetings, that I thank
her deeply for her devotion. It is always a pleasure to answer the
questions and doubts of my sisters and brothers on earth.
Yes, Jesus is here; you have seen him, haven’t you? He is
here because the subject is very important; I would even dare to
say that it is the fundamental topic of soul development.
First, try to achieve harmony in your “subconscious”,
tuning in with adequate sources. Luke wrote
these wise words:
“While the personal Satan does not exist,
yet the idea conveyed by the necessity of binding him in order to
bring about this millennium is a true one, and applies to the actual
relationship of men to these evil spirits, except this, that in
the case of the latter it is not necessary or even possible to bind
them, but to loosen them - that is to loosen their rapport with
or influence over men, for when that is done, men become, as it
were, free, and these evil spirits are as if they were not.”
To do this, you have to pray.
Then, you must try to resolve the conflict between the material
mind and the soul’s mind together with your inner voice.
Soul development begins with raising spirituality. The most efficient
way is by obtaining the Father’s Love, His own Substance. “But
seek ye first the kingdom of God, and all these things shall be
added unto you.”
I love you all. The time has come to say good-bye.
With my love, I am
Judas
a Celestial spirit
