Scroll with the arrows to read the text From Teaching No. 305, January 1, 1950 1. The spiritual life of Mankind is divided into three Eras or Periods. In the First Era I made Myself be recognized as the Father; in the Second Era I manifested Myself as a Master, and in this Third Era I am making Myself be felt as a Judge. 2. Those are the three phases that I have revealed to men and through which you will come to know Me in plentitude; but do not wish to see three different gods nor three persons where there exists only one Divine Spirit, because in this Era you are capable of accepting the simplification of all that you have enveloped in mystery which you have made complicated and incomprehensible. This period has not come to an end; this work has become stagnant for many centuries, and you must now renew it with the ideal of concluding it to offer to your Father. 6. Why is it that while everything grows, transforms, becomes perfect and develops without ceasing, only your spirit has to become stagnant through the centuries? 7. The spirit is the one who should walk at the front of as many works men accomplish, because it is to him that life on earth has been entrusted. However, there in your world you cause the spirit to neglect his highest missions, to consecrate it to terrestrial ideals and getting involved more each day in that whirl of life you have created. 8. Inasmuch as you have discovered and learned by means of science, you cannot ignore the incessant evolution that exists in all living beings of Creation. Well I want you to comprehend that you should not leave your spirit abandoned in that delay and in that stagnation in which you have plunged him long ago, and that you should fight to obtain the harmony in everything that surrounds you, in order that the day comes for men when Nature, instead of concealing its secrets, will reveal them, and instead of the elements being hostile, they become servants, collaborators, brothers. 9. I sent a spirit to incarnate on the earth to convert him into a human so that he would be prince and lord of everything that exists in it, not to be a slave or victim, nor needy, as I see that he is. Man is a slave of his needs, of his passions, of his vices and his ignorance. 10. He is a victim of sufferings, setbacks and vicissitudes that his lack of spiritual elevation causes in his transit along the earth. He is needy, because ignoring that part of the heritage that corresponds to him in life, he does not know what he owns and it is as if he had nothing. 11. It is necessary that Mankind awakens so that they can begin to study in the book of the spiritual life and soon, transmitting that idea from generation to generation, that Holy seed shall sprout in which My word is to be fulfilled. I have told you that Mankind will some day reach the spirituality and will know how to live in harmony with everything created and will know how to march in unison, spirit, mind, and heart. 12. This Third time, in which human wickedness has reached its highest level, will nevertheless be a time of reconciliation and forgiveness. 17. I come to save the delinquents, because the man who breaks the law is also a son of God, and every one of My sons mean a lot to Me. 18. I will extend this Doctrine all over this Earth as a mantle of hope and salvation, offering to all the opportunity to pay, little by little their past debts and present debts, until they again feel Me in the innermost of their being. 20. Begin to walk towards Me, all sinners; do not fear that when you come before My presence My voice will judge you before your brothers, because I will not denounce you. Do not fear, as Magdalene did not fear when, drawing close to Me, she divested herself of the heavy burden of sins, without caring who looked at her, who heard her, or judged her. She was at peace because she knew she was no longer a woman stained by sin, but rather a sinner purified by repentance. 21. Imitate her in her repentance and in her love. 23. In the silence of the cells of prison My voice will make itself heard telling those men and those women without hope: Here I am with you; by chance, did you believe to be abandoned by Me? No, little ones, I do not come to inquire if you are homicidal or if you have stolen. I have come to redeem, with My love, the one who has sinned, I come to fortify the one who has fallen and to save the innocent who has been the victim of slander, of an injustice, or some mistake. 25. At the hospitals and everywhere a sick person is found, I will also make Myself be felt and heard as only I can do it. I will spread a mantle of peace and solace over the pain of those who suffer, forgotten by their brethren, and I will spread a Divine balsam over their illnesses, lifting them to the life, so that they will give testimony of My Spiritual presence. 26. I will be felt by the children and by elders in their homes, and some and others will give testimony of My presence. 27. If I find the warmth of the home extinguished, I will call the husband and I will tell him: Why aren't you sweet and understanding? Why don't you light up the fire of love that is the flame that gives life to your union? If I find him detached from his duties, I will surprise him by telling him: Why have you departed from the pathway and have thrown the cross? Didn't you have the courage to hurry the last drops of bitterness that were left in the chalice? Return to the pathway where I had placed you; only there will you find Me to reward your faith, your obedience and strength. 28. I will touch the most delicate fibers of the heart of the wife and I will ask her: Woman, by chance do you believe that you will find outside of the pathway of your duty the peace that you long for? No, do not deceive yourself. Your merits will consist of carrying with abnegation and with patience up to the end, the cross which I deposited on your shoulders. 29. Not one heart will be left to whom I will not make My Divine presence felt, inviting it to a reconciliation, to love and toward peace. 31. I do not bring a whip to make you understand My word, I bring bread of life to fortify you in the ideal of your elevation. 32. When the world has come to believe that I have forgotten it, that I have abandoned it in its abyss of pain and sin, I have come to give it a new proof of My infinite love that will never abandon you and because of it I talk to you paternally and forgive you. 33. Sometimes, listening to My Word full of Divine tenderness, you become upset without comprehending why I use this manner of teaching for the sinners, when I should use some severity to make them yield. 34. I tell you that in this Third Era, even though it may seem an impossibility, the regeneration and the salvation of Mankind will not be difficult, since the work of redemption is a Divine task. 35. My love will be the one that will bring back men to the pathway of light and truth. My love, subtly penetrating in each heart, caressing every spirit, manifesting itself through each conscience, will transform the hard rocks into sensitive hearts, and will make, from materialistic men, spiritualized beings, and from hardhearted sinners, honest men, of peace and good will. 36. I speak to you like this because nobody better than I knows the evolution of your spirit, and I know that this Humanity, despite its great materialism, its love for the world, and its passions developed to the maximum of sin, only in appearance lives clinging to the flesh and to the material life. I know that as soon as he feels in his spirit the loving touch of my love, he will promptly come to Me to divest himself of his burden and follow Me to the pathway of truth that, without being aware of it, he wishes very much to travel. 38. The times have transpired, the spirit of man has evolved; he is no longer the child of the ancient times who needed to touch the Divine with his hands and perceive with his material senses so that he could believe in Me and in My presence. 40. If spiritual evolution did not exist in this Humanity nor were they situated in close proximity to their liberation, I would not have made the revelation of the communication from spirit to Spirit for this Era. 42. The love for the world, the greed for the terrestrial, the desire of the flesh, the delight for all the low desires, the egotism, the love for oneself and the pride, were the force in which you created a life according to your intelligence and your human will, whose fruits I have allowed you to harvest so that your experience comes to be absolute. 83. Paradise is not on the Earth, nor did it disappear with the sin of man. The paradise of the Father is eternal and the new generations will reach it. 84. When My kingdom penetrates into all the hearts and its divine influence invades the roads and all the pathways of men, this Humanity will again feel the bliss, the peace that the first inhabitants on this Earth experienced within themselves, and the men of those times will say: The paradise has returned! The paradise draws near to us again! 85. That paradise is nothing else but the kingdom of kingdoms, the paradise that your first Fathers inhabited was not on the outside, it was within themselves. In their spirit they carried the paradise that was nothing else but the peace of My Spirit, the peace of My Kingdom, because before they woke up in this world, being incarnated spirits, they performed deeds with certain purity. 86. But the Father asks: Do you believe that the Father would be satisfied with that purity of those first creatures, purity that comes from their innocence and their lack of knowledge? No, beloved people, through that spiritual innocence the Father could not be recognized by His children, He would not be understood or loved; none of his Divine attributes could be valued. 87. The Father could not be filled with glorious satisfaction if He did not contemplate merits in His own children. It is because of this that the Creator arranged that the flesh reveal to man the secrets of the human life, but at the same time permitted that the spirit reveal to the flesh, through intuition, the existence of the Father Creator, and before the weakness of the flesh was the fortitude of the spirit, presided always by the light of the conscience, in which therein is My eye, My balance, and My voice. 88. At the moment the spirit awoke to the human existence, he placed the call of the flesh before the voice of the conscience and of his revelation, and man renounced, in that manner, his spiritual existence. At that instance began his crucible, the struggle, the necessities, the pain, the consequences or the result of all the thoughts, of all the words, and of all the actions. 89. Then began the development of the spirit through pain and the human faculties, and that peace, that incomprehensible well being, that beatitude that the spirit experienced amidst his innocence, was disappearing at the same time that the struggle, the needs, the work, and the arduous development of the spirit and the flesh became part of man. And man was surprised that he could not find that land of blessings, which he knew well, and that he could not find later. 90. Where could be found the pleasant garden, that Eden which was the paradise of delights, of well-being, of happiness, and of innocence? It had risen to the Father and only an atom of peace remained, a spark of light and a conscience to illuminate the pathway of man along his long journey. 91. That is why men search in vain for that garden; men have in vain crossed different places in search of that paradise and they have not found it, because the paradise has never been on this Earth, it has been within the spirit, in the heart of men. 92. But today, I say to you: The paradise that your first fathers possessed by virtue of their innocence, you shall recover by virtue of the merits and the conscience. 93. Now you know, disciples of the Lord, what that paradise is, which to some has been only a figure or a parable, for others a legend and, for many, something of no value. 94. Paradise existed, exists, and will persist in eternity, and in all eras that paradise, which is the Kingdom of the Father, has drawn close to the hearts who search for it, to those spirits who elevate themselves in search of that kingdom; to the spirits who open their doors to receive the influence, the feeling and beatitude of that kingdom.
