Christ, the Spirit "Blessed are those who know how to find my essence, separating it from the imperfections of the human language, for they shall be my best interpreters, those who will not be confounded as those who, studying my word and deeds of the Second Era, do not discern when it is Jesus, the man, the one that talks, and when it is Christ, the Spirit, the one that teaches". The Third Testament A careful reading and a simple analysis of the previous paragraph will suffice, in order to enable us to see how clear and diaphanous is the explanation that, regarding to the incarnation of the Word, the Lord has delivered us in this Third Era, explanation which makes us discern, with all clarity, that Christ, the Divine Word, which is eternal, dwelt and manifested, for a short period of time, in the perfect man, Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus, the man, was as material as we all are; this is the grandness of His example, it is precisely in this where we find the greatest lesson, and because of this He insisted in telling us that "All that you see me do, you can do". You could not say that I never have felt the human pain and because of it, that I do not understand you. This is why I became a man and suffered, in order to give you an example in every test and every trial.

We must begin pointing out that, evidently, before the Resurrection, the human body of Jesus seemed to be just like all men's bodies: It sweated, it bleeded, it felt sleepy and tired, it felt pain and also thirst and hunger. But once risen from death, did the body continue to be the same as before? It seemed as, for example, the risen Jesus could easily walk through closed doors: "Then the same day at evening, being the first [day] of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews, came Jesus and stood in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace [be] unto you." John 20:19 But on the other hand, that same risen body was tangible, so much that it could be physically touched, as proved by Thomas. "Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust [it] into my side: and be not faithless, but believing." John 20:27 This, even up to this very day, still baffles theologians, who hazard the most diverse theories trying to explain what, for them, remains as a mystery; but the truth insists at being more simple and far from mysterious than what theologians assume, although it is much more wonderful than what is to be expected. ____________________________________________________________ 互户互户互猾せカせЙせカせЙせカせЙせカせЙせカ  - Many Other Natures "You ask: How did they contemplate My human form, and even one of My disciples was able to touch Me, not belonging any longer to the world of Mankind? You will still have to learn more of Me to know the truth of all I have shown you, but all the mysteries will dissipate in due time. For now it is enough for you to know that between the divine nature and the nature of man, there exist many more which the Lord avails Himself for His highest purposes." The Third Testament Many other natures?... But of course! God's faculty of creativity does not know any limits. It is enough to see, to mention a simple example, with how many different ideas or options for ways of life, do sci-fi writers come up for their characters and beings which they imagine in their novels; they are countless! Would God be less creative than a paperback writer? For this reason, it is not so hard to understand that, just as this universe exists, containing many and diverse natures within, there must be many other different universes somewhere else. The divine creativity, truly has no boundaries or limits. And the proof of this statement is right here, in front of our very eyes, in the same material Nature that surrounds us. In this little planet in which we live in, the diversity of beings and species is astounding, and it seems as almost infinite; each passing day, scientists discover new and unsuspected forms of life that pullulate even in the most surprising places. Have you watched the Discovery Channel without amazing yourself with the variety of beings that exist in the sea reefs? And we haven't yet finished to explore all the depths of the immense oceans of this beautiful blue planet! Why then, could anyone deem as impossible that the risen body of Jesus, without ceasing to be human, possesed faculties that went beyond of what is currently known to us? What logic will completely disregard and deny the possibility of this? "Once fulfilled His mission of love, the body of Jesus merged with the Divine Spirit, just as it took the human form. If the body of Jesus did not sprout from the earth, why should it render tribute to it as all other men do? He had said: "My Kingdom is not of this world" The Third Testament Human science has slowly got to the point to accept, more and more every day, that behind what we perceive as solid matter -eg. molecules and particles- we find that, as originator of all matter there is only an idea, an intention, a bit of information; quantum mechanics try to explain this. Practically the most advanced scientists of the world are growing more and more convinced that, what we call reality is nothing else that one of an infinite of possibilities. And among those infinite possibilities is the one that allows that a divine thought, an idea that sprouted from God, has the power to make a woman's egg fertile, without any participation of a man... and all this as a natural process. Wonderful? Yes, but natural. ____________________________________________________________ 互户互户互猾せカせЙせカせЙせカせЙせカせЙせカ  - Last Word My beloved: In our next issue, we will cover a topic that has an outmost importance: The division in our inner self. And we will see something related to the power of prayer. Until then, I beg you to remain watchful and in prayer; the battle between good and evil is growing stronger, and we must de ready to comply, each one of us, with the tasks that, as disciples of the Lord, correspond to us.
