NOTE FROM THE LITTLE WORKER

Hi!!

A popular saying states: "When the river makes noise, it must
be carrying stones"; and on this occassion, we would like to
comment with you something that has made so much noise, that
from a small brook it has been converted to a white water
river. We are referring to a movie that, because of the themes
that it deals with, it has created a whirlwind of different
opinions, a controversy that has been discussed in
conversations over a cup of coffee, in family reunions,
meetings at work, and in dinners amongst friends. The name of
the movie is "What Dreams May Come", which is based on the
novel of Richard Matheson, and has been nominated to win three
Oscars.

But, it is not because it is a nominated movie that has drawn
the public's opinion in various places where it has been
presented, but because as we mentioned earlier, it deals with
themes that are not often spoken about, but everybody thinks
about them. "What Dreams May Come", is a confrontation with the
so feared Death, with Life after Life, with Reencarnation,
with repentment and forgiveness, with suicide, with fear of
lonelyness, and hell, as imagined by many people. It is a movie
that also deals with hope, with the incomparable strength of
love; it speaks of redemption and new opportunities; and well,
it is a movie that perhaps, without an intention to do so, it
has awakened thousands of people in the world and has invited
them to think about  all these things; it has converted itself
in an echo which may help many to listen to the voice of their
conscience, and to consider the possibility to accept that we
are not only meat and bones, but something much more important
and unperishable, this is... spirit.

For this reason, in the next newsletters, we shall try to speak
a little about these topics, and will try to share with you the
knowledge which our eternal Father has given to us through His
word delivered in this Third Era.

Please fasten your seat belts..., here we go!

FEAR OF DEATH

In many occassions, we have been able to notice the fear that
exists in the world about death; but, were does that fear come
from? After talking to many people about this, we realized that
it basically comes from ignorance, that is to say, from the lack
of  knowledge regarding death, and this lack of knowledge leads
many people to see death as the end, as the consumation of
everything, like ceasing to exist, or stop being; to others
death signifies the step towards the unknown, fear of judgement
and settling accounts; others see death as the loss of all their
beloved beings. Many refuse to depart from their richess and
pleasures; others are filled with fear to think that the marked
hour will arrive without allowing them to finish doing those
things that they should have done in their lives; and others
(the fewer), see death as the end of problems and tests, and
look forward to arrive to death because afterwards they can rest
forever.

In order to understand that all these ideas are erroneous, it is
first of all necessary to understand two fundemental things:
First, that everything that exists in our material universe is
formed of energy, and energy does not die, it is simply
transformed; and secondly, that our spirit having sprung from an
Infinite and Eternal Father, same as Him, His children are
infinitely eternal.

It sounds good, no?  But, what does all of this mean? Very simple,
it means that death does not exist.

Our Father has revealed to us: "I told you at that time that you
should not fear death, because it does not exist; In My creation
everything lives, grows and becomes perfect. Bodily death is only
the end of a period that the spirit goes through, to return to
its original state and thereafter follow its course to evolution."
Third Testament. Book of the True Life. T 285:74

Many who will read this page may think at any given time: -If
death does not exist, then how is it that God in his commandment
told us "Thou Shall not kill?"-  A good question! And to reply,
we return as in many other occassions to remember that to
understand the Divine Word, we have to elevate our thought and
take our spirit above the material ideas, so that the heights of
knowledge can be reached.

Therefore, let us analyze... If the law was created for the
spirit, and the spirit does not die, what does God refer to when
He says "Thou Shall not kill"?  Could there be another way of
taking life, different from that which we commonly know? Indeed,
what our eternal Father calls death, is to that state of
prostration, that state of lethargy in which the spirit falls
into, when it is not given the food that it needs to strengthen
and manifest itself. Death to the spirit is all that which slows
down its development, its evolution. The homicidal weapon, for
example, is only the means to manifest what  really harms the
spirit which is the lack of love of those that create weapons
or make use of them. Other type of weapons exist which are subtle,
but as harmful: Our tongue, for example, is a weapon with which we
can kill if we use it to damage the reputation of our brethren;
jealousy, hatred, vengance, and all other low passions are those
weapons which darken the spirit, and confuse it, sinking it in
that apparent "Death" from which it can only escape through love,
goodness, development of the gifts, recognition of committed
errors, and the firm purpose to amend them.

Our Father says: "When will you reach peace of spirit, when you
have not even been able to reach peace of heart?  I tell you that
until the last homicidal weapon has not been destroyed, there will
not be peace amongst men. Homicidal weapons are those with which
men take away life, kill  morality, deprive  one another  freedom,
take away health, shake away tranquility, or destroy faith." The
Third Testament. Book of The True life  T 119:53.

Then, how can death be defeated? Giving life! In the manner which
we can dominate our low passions, in studying, analyzing and
living the Divine teachings, in developing our gifts, and put to
practice  loving one another, in that same manner we will be
giving life to our spirit and understanding that what we know as
death, is nothing but the end of one period for the spirit and the
beginning of another. 

Let it not be an obsession to us what we call material death!
Instead, let us worry about living, to accomplish harmony between
our spirit and matter, to live under the laws of love which God has
given us so that when the time comes to leave our body, we do with
the joy of knowing that we have accomplished the mission that we
had in this life, and that we are ready to begin what is coming;
being either the recognition of our faults and the opportunity to
amend same, the acceptance of new missions, the knowledge of new
spaces where our spirit can continue its path to evolution... in
other words, life continues.

"I told you at that time that nothing within My work would be lost;
I also told you that none of my little ones would be lost, and I
also revealed to you the inmortality of the spirit when I  told you:
I am life, he who believes in Me shall never die." Third Testament.
Book of The True Life. T 186:21 ( John : 11:26)

LIFE AFTER LIFE

What will we find at the other side of the tunnel? What do we
know about the "beyond"? What does man know about what exists
after this life?

There are so many theories about life after this life, and so
much has been dogmatized about it that when the spirit after
disencarnating expects to find exactly the place that it had
imagined, depending on his current of thought or beliefs, it
becomes confused when it does not find what in his concept
should have been heaven, or the place of eternal rest. In the
teachings which our Father has come to give us in this third
epoch, He reveals that those spirits which have become confused
due to their erroneous concept of the spiritual valley, upon
not finding what they expected, and upon missing support of
their accustomed matter, and without the sufficient preparation
and spiritual elevation to leave the material valley, have
created for themselves, without being aware, a world which is
neither human nor profoundly spiritual in which they will
remain until slowly, through meditation and pain will be able
to comprehend that such is not the destined´place for the
evolution of their spirit. Then they will hear the voice of
their conscience, and before it judge their past deeds, and
surge within them the desire to repair their errors. It shall
then be the beginnig of a return journey to the spiritual valley.

"Heaven is not a place, or a region, or a mansion; the heaven
of a spirit is its elevation and perfection, it is its state
of purity." Third Testament. Book of The True Life. T 146:68.

To those who believe that upon disencarnating their spirit will
arrive to the valley of  eternal rest, we have the obligation to
tell them that in the spiritual valley is where the activity
really begins, because inactivity is like death to the spirit.
The "rest" which awaits the spirit is activity, growth through
good deeds, not wasting one instant. When the spirit is working,
it finds the true manner to rest, because by doing good things it
unloads pain and remorse ; in other words, the spirit's rest is
the love for his Father and brethren.

Our Father says: "In truth I tell you that if I would make your
spirit remain inactive in order to rest, according to how you
conceive rest on earth, the darkness  of despair and anguish
would possess him, because life and light of the spirit, as well
as its major delight, are work, struggle and the unceasing
activity." The Third Testament. Book of The True Life. T 317:13.

Let us then not expect to find  a "beyond" different from that
which really exists. Our spirit could swiftly arrive to it, if
we understand it, and if we prepare ourselves so that when the
moment of disencarnation arrives, our spirit can find itself
enlightened to make its return journey to its real or true home.

"When death detains your heart beat and the light from your
pupils are turned out, you will go to awaken to a marvelous
world due to its harmony, order and justice.
 
"Your conscience which is above your being will not remain on
earth, but it will come with the spirit to show itself before him
as if a book of profound and wise lessons that will be studied by
the spirit. There your spiritual eyes will open to the truth, and
in an instant you will know how to interpret what in a whole life
time you could not understand; there you will understand the value
of all that you had possessed, you will experience the weight and
repentment for all the committed errors, for the lost time, and
within you will be born the most beautiful purposes of amendment
and reparation.

"Comply with all My laws on earth, and you need not fear your
arrival to the hereafter; In the same manner that you have seen
the light of the world upon arriving, and as you have felt the
presence of your parents, you will feel the presence of your Lord
in that valley that awaits your return." Third Testament. The Book
of The True Life T 170:47; 62:5; 125:59

EVERYDAY LIFE

Just as we hear terrible news in our every day lives, we also
hear of things that happen arond us, that confirms that this
world is not as lost as it would seem, and it makes us feel
that we are not so wrong in saying that we still believe in
kindness of the human being, and that we have faith in that
some day, this valley of tears will again be paradise.

A few days ago, a friend called  to tell me what had happened
to him last week. He was driving through a street in Mexico
City, when suddenly a man in a motorcycle cut him off and banged
his car with his motorcycle, afterwards he dismounted his bike,
took off his helmet, and started hitting my friend with the
helmet in the arms, face and wherever he could land his blows.
My friend could not defend himself because, besides being held
down by the seat belt within the car, he is almost 80 years old,
and it was not easy for him to avoid that man's aggression who
had allowed himself to be trapped by the claws of violence. 

Suddenly, a young man arrived to the scene in another car
together with his mother, and to their astonishment, he rapidly
got out of his car, and stopped the man who was hitting my friend,
scolded him for his actions, and warned him not to ever repeat
a similar thing.

After the man from the motorcycle departed, the other young man
approached my friend and asked whether he was ok, and where was
he heading. My friend, astonished and dizzy from the blows that
he had received in the head, told him that he was going to
Cuernavaca where he lived, a city approximately 45 minutes south
of Mexico City by car. The young man, without hesitating, told
him that he would take him home, and would safeguard his well
being.

He drove with him up to his house, and after making sure that my
friend was well, he got back in his car and drove back to Mexico
City. 

Is it not wonderful and almost incredible?!  My friend was so
thankful, that he sent the next day a flower arrangement to the
young man's mother, and a note blessing her for having such an
exemplary son.

These type of situations make me personally meditate about many
things: For one,  there is still a lot to work for and prayer is
needed for those beings that allow themselves to be trapped by
low passions, and in their confusion, they do not realize of the
damage that they cause others as well as themselves; I ask you to
join me in prayer for them. I remembered that we should not lose
faith in the human being, because we must not forget that within
each one of us, there is a wonderful spirit similar to that young
man's which is our Father's creation. Let us send our blessings
to everyone! Another thing which I have remembered is the
important role which parents play in the spiritual development of
our children; let us not forget that in many occassions, they are
a reflection of ourseleves. Let us give them a good example!

Beloved:
 
In many places "Holy Week" is celebrated at this time of the year.
It is the rememberance of the passion of the Divine Master. I
invite you to meditate about the real significance of His sacrifice, 
and I leave you for that purpose with  some paragraphs contained in
the Book of  the True Life:

"Oh, my beloved children¡ If you could comprehend that the
encarnation of the Verb on earth is the greatest expression of 
divine love; it was a desire of humility amongst you, and a lesson
in My desire to limit Myself, to make Myself small  so that you
would feel Me closer to you, and you closer to the Father."  T 170:7

"If in the case of Isaac, a lamb came to substitute him to save his
life, in the case of Jesus there was nobody to replace Him, because
He knew that it was necessary for His blood to be spilled, in order
for the essence and the light of that sacrifice to illuminate the
spirit, the heart and the understanding of those men that lacked
spirituality." T 119:21
