Cuenca, Ecuador
Yes, my dear brother, some days have gone by without messages,
but so it seems, things are coming back to normality.
If you want to know the reasons why you did not receive anything,
you must ask yourself if you really wanted to receive. I know that
you feel tired at times, and although you did not believe it at
first, message reception consumes energy. But, please, don’t
tell me that all this happened because you lacked time. This is
not true.
For example, this weekend you dedicated so much of your time to
3D graphics programs that you simply did not give me any opportunity.
When you go to sleep, as always very late at night, you cannot hope
that I will come and give you information, knowing that you will
fall asleep a few minutes later. I was with you, you saw me, but
it really didn't make sense to try to convey a message.
If you truly desire to be in contact with me, give me the time,
but get ready, it is useless to take messages when you are already
tired and when your condition doesn't allow us to transmit anything
of value and substance at all.
I don't want to reprehend you, because this is your decision, I
only want to tell you that message transmission is a task which
depends on both, on the spirit and on the mortal. You have to contribute
your part; otherwise it will not make sense at all to try.
But changing the topic: What Doug wrote you is true. You should
continue with the Portuguese site, and you should also continue
with the German translation. Nobody demands perfection, nobody demands
you to do this overnight. But if you translate one message per day
into Portuguese and German, in one year a volume in both languages
would be ready. Do it little by little, there is no hurry, but do
it. Don't assume that others will do it, what you don't do, nobody
will do.
As Jesus said: The harvest is ripe, but the workers are few. All
this will change in the future. But you must do the first steps
right now. I know that your Portuguese knowledge is insufficient
for rendering a perfect and smooth translation; besides, the English
style of the messages themselves is really not the best. But do
what you can do. Then others will come and correct what you have
done. But meanwhile, many people will have the opportunity of being
informed and seeing the light in their lives.
I won't deliver a message today on Jesus or on a spiritual topic.
I only wanted you to know that everything is OK, and that just some
discipline on your side is missing, and then we may continue. You
already know that you may always count on me.
Remember what I said about perfection. Our Father in the Heavens
doesn't expect perfection, but He does indeed expect dedication.
It is your will, your dedication, your intention that counts. It
is not the result. And with good intentions, the results will also
be edifying.
Yes, it is true, you received an impression of Luke, and what characterizes
his face more than anything else is his nose. It won't be very difficult
to draw. But take your time, don't do everything at the very instant
when it crosses your mind.
What I said on the Law of Desire is true. Logically, all the teachings
of positive thinking etc. are based on this law, but the law goes
beyond that. You have already understood this. It is very important
that the men come to love themselves. Without this self-love, the
Law of Desire won't benefit them, it will rather harm them. You
can think of positive images, you can want positive things, but
that doesn't mean that in the depths of your soul you really desire
positive things. When you lack self-love, your true desires very
probably won't be positive and profitable for you. You will remember
that in the course of the last years many messages on self-love
have been delivered. And this is the reason. It is very important;
it is the base for success. But I speak of true self-love, which
has nothing to do with narcissism or selfishness. It is the awareness
that God loves us. He created us; He gave us some personality, which
we may form later on according to our free will. And God, He likes
what He has created. You should also like it. You have to accept
that you are God's beloved children. He certainly doesn't love sin,
but He loves the sinner. We can repeat this sentence a hundred thousand
times, and it continues being true.
You remember that you have read: Thoughts are things. And this
sentence looked strange to you. But it is really so. Thoughts, or
to express it more clearly, desires always materialize.
The soul's emptiness often expresses itself through very characteristic
signs: Wanting more money, more power, more land, more fame, more
publicity, etc. All those things don't constitute true desires;
they are attitudes to substitute or to compensate for defects which
people know unconsciously. It is a vain intent, which doesn't lead
anywhere, even if those supposed "desires" are fulfilled.
The defect persists. And what I call defect, in fact is not necessarily
a defect.
But, as I have told you, this is really not the moment for sounding
the depth of the soul.
I am glad that we have talked again. Put aside a little of your
time for me, but not when you are worn out. Reserve me a good moment
during the day, and everything will be all right.
God bless you,
Judas
