Received by H.R.
Cuenca, Ecuador.
My dear H___, yesterday we undertook a journey into your past,
and today we will do the same, to bring to light another teaching
of life.
Many years ago, when you were already at university you looked
for work during the summer vacations to earn some money. And finally,
you found it. It was not exactly what you had imagined, to work
as a butcher, but the agreed payment was good. You worked at this
new task, sweating in the unaccustomed physical labor, and you did
quite well. When the day arrived for getting your pay, your boss
only paid you half of the agreed amount. You protested, but he told
you, “Sue me!" showing you the door.
How angry you felt! Sue me! You didn't have a written work contract.
And thoughts of hate and vengeance filled you for some time.
I see that you are smiling. That is good. Nevertheless, you are
smiling for the wrong reasons. You are thinking: “How spiritual
a work was that!" And I tell you, that work is as spiritual
as that of a systems engineer, and as useful for humanity.
But what are you feeling now when I remind you of these scenes?
You no longer feel anything. You feel neither anger, nor bitterness,
nor hate, nothing. This is the great teaching of life. And this
is why you should smile.
I ask you, hate and love, are they two faces of the same coin or
are they two different things?
H.R.: I think they are two different faces of one and
the same coin, of opposite emotional loads.
So it is. We are speaking of natural love. The Divine has no counterpart.
Divine Love has no opposite face.
Natural love, then, is a set of emotions that may change from one
state into other, love may become hate, and there are many shades
and facets: Love, appreciation, scorn, disgust, hate, jealousies,
etc. All those are aspects of natural love, and what we call love
properly, is nothing more than its purified form, a purified aspect
of this set. And even in this aspect, intensity and quality may
vary considerably.
Natural love depends very much on the moment, it is inflammable,
as demonstrated by sudden hate, attacks of anger, and in the course
of the time, without much contribution from the mortal, and it may
change its character. It may stabilize a little, although it is
never really stable. People who are madly in love may find true
love, because the previous state is not love properly, and anger
may lose its fire.
Now, when you recall these events you no longer feel anger, nor
bitterness, nor love. Indifference characterizes your feelings.
This temporary boss of yours, he died some time ago, and you do
not even remember the episode of impotent anger you felt.
Now, you summarize this teaching in jest with the words: “Understanding
between people grows with the square of distance." This is
true, distance in space diminishes frictions, and in the distance
of time our memory plays us tricks: we forget bad experiences and
retain happy events.
The obvious conclusion is, of course, that in everything you do,
you should try to avoid negative spontaneous reactions, dictated
by the emotion of the moment. It is better to control yourselves,
to allow certain time to pass, and suddenly, everything looks different,
less tragic.
However, there is a much more important conclusion. Do you remember
that the other day you expected a message on how hate becomes compassion
in the spirit world? You suspected that it was a message on the
purification of natural love.
Well, what I tell you is that when people pass over, and their
condition allows them to live in a place of relative light, for
example in the superior areas of the earth planes, they can observe
people on earth and the less fortunate spirits in the hells. But
these mortals or spirits no longer directly affect their lives.
Imagine that you die and observe an "enemy" of yours on
earth. If you have some soul development, you will no longer feel
hate, but at the beginning you will feel pity for him. This pity
will become compassion, and in the course of the purification of
your love, it will be love that you will feel. That, of course,
takes time. However, the conversion of hate into pity or compassion
happens pretty quickly, through the effect of distance in space.
There is no more close contact with your enemy, and with it, enmity
ceases to exist, but not so the emotional bond. It loses its negative
load, it may pass through indifference, but finally it will become
love.
On the other hand, when you come to live in a lower zone of the
earth planes, in what you commonly call “hells," you will
continue living with the same kind of people, or spirits in this
case, with whom you always suffered confrontations. You will also
continue with your hate, and so will they. There is no distance,
the fire of the negative load stays ablaze, and it is a very slow,
difficult and painful process of progressing and purifying your
love.
The advanced spirits who observe lower spirits almost undertake
a voyage to their own past. It is as if they returned in their thoughts
to a remote time, and they are no longer able to feel the energy
of negativity. Is it easier to forgive others than to forgive oneself,
and when spirits have forgiven themselves their shortcomings, how
should it be possible that they would not forgive others those same
shortcomings?
The advanced spirits live in the future. They may return to their
past in order to visit their less developed neighbors, and all their
feelings will be much more moderate, neutral, positive and even
full of love. The dark spirits, however, cannot travel to their
future, and they live in their past, torn apart by the vicissitudes
of their emotions.
You understand me a little, not entirely, but this does not matter.
But you do understand that what I have exposed is the basis of a
law: That advanced spirits always have to help their less fortunate
companions. This does not happen through force or obligation, but
is the effect of distancing and of simultaneous purification of
their natural love. They can no longer feel hate, neither can they
feel hate against their mates on their own level or on a superior
level. How could you hate kind people?
And that law, that advanced spirits have to help their left behind
companions, you should already apply during your earthly life. It
will be much more difficult, but your prize will be great, because
your effort, in the first place, will contribute to the purification
of your own soul. This is today's teaching.
It is true, Divine Love purifies, and when It is active, It leads
you to do exactly what I have just said. And when it is not active
but languishes undernourished in the soul, it will not have the
force to carry out its cleansing work either.
Even your pale soul serves as a beacon in the darkness. Therefore,
I tell you, hold high your light, which is the light of God, follow
your way and show the door, through which you see the blue of the
sky and the green of the grass.
God bless you,
Judas
