Received by H.R.
Guayaquil, Ecuador
Hello! This is certainly no surprise. I accompanied you to Guayaquil,
of course. As I have told you, I am always very near you, and distance
is no problem for us.
Very well. As I see, you are thinking of your dermatitis. Some
days ago you realized that it was no longer there, at least you
can no longer detect any symptoms of it.
[H.R. As long as I can remember, I suffered from a
dermatitis, called dermatitis seborrhoeica, in the face, or rather
on the hair onset, for example on the upper part of the forehead,
on the temples, behind the ears, and on the skin furrow that runs
from the nose to the mouth at an angle. The symptoms of this disease
disappear in hot and humid climates, such as in Guayaquil, but they
appear in a cold and dry climate, as it prevails in the months of
July, August and September in Cuenca].
Yes, my friend, this really is a healing. I know that you never
requested it from me, but you desired it, because the symptoms really
bothered you. And look, the healing has already occurred. Here you
can see the principle once again, that what you really want, comes
true. They are desires that come out from deep inside your soul,
and we recognise them, and we try to help.
Yes, you are right, all Celestial spirits have mighty healing powers.
It is a healing through Divine Love, and as Jesus has already explained
several times, for this kind of cure, the patients must elevate
their spirituality above the earth plane level. You did it, and
so your desire was fulfilled.
It is the same principle as in the sincere prayer to the Father
for Divine Love. Only the purpose is different.
M___ spoke to you once of the Law of Desire, and yes, she is right.
That law exists, but we have never formulated it under that name.
We have analyzed certain aspects of that universal law, for example
in context with prayer. But the principle is truly universal.
The problem is that frequently mortals, and also those not very
developed spirits, ignore their desires. Those desires are born
from the very depth of the heart, and mortals or spirits are not
necessarily aware of them. Those desires are not always positive,
many times they are destructive, even self-destructive.
Hence it is so important to elevate spirituality, because only
in this way will these desires become, consciously or unconsciously,
productive and positive forces. I will give you a very simple example.
In many cases, when people complain about failures in their life,
they wished in fact for these failures, for different reasons, for
example, to punish themselves unconsciously. So, it is the execution
of a desire, and it comes as a surprise or it is considered an injustice
or bad luck, but as a matter of fact, it is just what the individual
really wanted.
Also the guidance we can provide obeys this law. We can only guide
the individuals who really want us to do so. So, it is a matter
of the soul's disposition.
It is very important to keep in mind the universal principle, that
people receive what they request, and in order to receive, it is
necessary to request. It is necessary to ask for God's Love, it
is necessary to ask for His Mercy, etc. For God doesn't simply give,
but rather always responds to desires, to conscious and unconscious
petitions.
Desires may also activate man's creative spirit. Yes, you understood
well. Men create for themselves what they desire.
Men's desire to know the Truth allows us to guide them, as I was
guiding you during all those years, and so you finally found the
Padgett messages. But this is not all of it. Just think of what
happened a relatively short time ago.
Well, in the supermarket you saw a volume of the novel called "The
Troyan Horse", by J. J. Benítez. And you were attracted
to it as through magic. You bought all the volumes, and you were
surprised. Although they are a novel, they had something in common
with the Padgett messages. And practically at the same time, when
you were still reading the books, another person contacted you,
D___, and he told you of his interest in these books. An intense
correspondence developed. D___ informed you that the books were
based on the Urantia book, and you so you sought that book and you
now have also read it in part.
I wanted you to read this book, and you should do it. I admit that
it is quite voluminous, but, as I have already said once, it is
worthwhile reading. It doesn't agree a hundred percent with the
Padgett messages, but I have also explained that this is not so
important, that there are many aspects of Truth, and that Truth
has been communicated in diverse ways. In each message you can observe
the mediums' influence, their vocabulary, their way of thinking
and of expressing themselves, and the spirit consciously takes advantage
of the medium's respective strengths, and the medium unconsciously
contributes a little to the formation of the message, introducing
his or her own thoughts, sometimes true ones, and sometimes not
so true ones, but the core, the very heart of the message is authentic.
And I will tell you that the scene in Benítez' book, which
fascinated you so much, is in fact an authentic scene, it happened
almost as described there, and it is also contained in the Urantia
book.
The disciples went up to the room where we were to celebrate the
dinner. And soon afterwards a dispute broke out between them, about
who should occupy the places of honor, that is to say, the seats
next to Jesus.
The Jews were accustomed to wash their feet before having dinner,
a work which usually was done by servants or slaves of the house.
But in this case, it was a closed meeting, where the servants of
the house had no access.
It is not true that I occupied the seat reserved for Jesus, I did
not even participate in this shameful quarrel, rather it was those
who would later be the great pillars of the church. John, Peter,
and even James, Jesus' brother, who does not figure amongst the
apostles, they quarreled and insulted each other like badly behaved
children. It is false that Jesus knew that I would betray him. Those
are thoughts which the medium inserted, thoughts and residual ideas
of a religious education based on the Bible story.
Jesus came, he looked at us, and took a seat. Everything was ready
to begin with the supper, except that we had not washed our feet.
Nobody moved, and so Jesus stood up, took the water pitcher and
proceeded to wash our feet. We all protested, and he gave us a sermon
which nobody forgot. Some understood it, and some did not, as in
my case. The great Master humbled himself, doing the work of a slave,
a work of love.
For me, it was an experience which definitively made me lose patience.
Jesus really was a lost case, I thought. So much power, so many
possibilities, and now he was humiliating himself in front of us.
I really had to force him to demonstrate his power. I left, and
you know already where I headed for.
What Jesus did in that moment has also some relationship with what
in the messages is called "personality" and "individuality."
But of that we will speak at the proper time.
It is already late. You have to sleep now. Tomorrow we will meet
again, if God and your condition allow it.
God bless you,
Judas
