We beg to read it thoroughly since you may find some concepts that could either call your attention or clash with your previous set of ideas. Or perhaps, simply they'll just affirm something that you already had in your intuition. ____________________________________________________________ «¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥« ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ - The Benefits of Meditation in Our Life We see how things in our human life, have sometimes been mistified and complicated, separating us from what is really essential and true; sometimes it is hard for us to give ourselves enough time to use our mental and spiritual faculties when it is time for important decision making. This lack of reflection, of interiorization and meditation, lead us to make mistakes. "Before you continue lamenting your sorrows in the world, stop and meditate a few moments so that you can discover the cause of your afflictions." "I permit you to search until you find the cause of your affliction, so that you can put a stop to it, because it is up to you to prevent the grief from penetrating into your home. I assure you that not only will you find the reason that causes you to suffer, but at the same time the way to remedy your woes will be revealed to you. My charity will descend upon whoever has learned to pray and meditate, and that charity shall be upon your spirit and on your body like a balsam". The Third Testament Human life is a struggle, but thanks to the infinite wisdom and kindness of our Heavenly Father, we find in it periods of truce, where it is advisable not only to give rest and recreation to the matter, but also to benefit from those truces to meditate and be able to obtain clarity for all that we have to do amidst that fight. "The spirit, when he is within the matter, participates in its fatigue, and repose is necessary for him after a struggle; also meditation, in order to form a plan which he must follow before undertaking a new conflict." "Without those truces or stops along your pathway, you would progress very little along your way. However, it is necessary for a clean and pure Doctrine to teach you these lessons with full clarity, in order that your heart, convinced of this truth, has a knowledge of the why of many of the phenomenon and events which, without My revelation, you would never manage to understand. Within My charity is time, life, and the destiny of everyone. Nothing escapes My power." The Third Testament ____________________________________________________________ «¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥« ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ - Not To Confuse Spiritual Meditation with Egocentric Practices Let us not confuse true spiritual meditation with mediumistic practices, let us not confuse it either with those impulses of egotism that, covering themselves as a false spirituality, deceive so many people, which believing to be spiritualizing themselves, in reality what they are doing is nothing more that submerge themselves in an ego trip, involved and trapped in a futile worship of their own self. To initiate our spiritual meditation, we can commence by controlling the material concerns as it has been previously pointed, and we must not set our mind in any other thought at all than a thought of love, a thought of light or a wise phrase from our Heavenly Father. But we must be careful not to let our mind go into a blank. We must set our mind in that elevated thought, concentrating in it as strongly as we can. And thanks to that concentration we will be laying aside little by little the noise of the world, and with this we are not implying the physical noise, but rather the trivial thoughts, the low unleashed passions and the great materiality that sorrounds us and which is a heavy chain for our spirit. We will see that while we do this, our breathing changes its pace, it becomes more paused, more soft. It is in that moment when our spirit, in a totally natural way, ascends and climbs over this world, with a true elevation of ideas, of sensations and thoughts far beyond ourselves as humans, to enter the true nature of the spirit. There is where great things happen, where noble ideas and thoughts flow like never-ending rivers of wisdom and love. This elevation is not a physical sensation, even though the matter participates in it; that elevation is something subtle, sublime, spiritual. Let us not take in account the time we need ir order to achieve this, because it would be so irrelevant for it to take twenty seconds or a minute or two hours or three, but let us allow our spirit, through that meditation, to be freed and then reach where it is meant to be, where it belongs: its original homeland, the spiritual realm. The position of the body is absolutely irrelevant, because what counts is the determined will to travel in the metaphorical wings of the elevated thought to the higher regions, which, even though it could sound paradoxical, they are actually profound. That introspection, that seeing within ourselves, will lead us to take more consciousness of our deeds and thoughts that many times we push away from our minds simply because we do not know how to deal with them, because they enter in contradiction, in collision, with our selfish tendencies. ____________________________________________________________ «¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥« ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ - Personality and Our Real Self Maybe you have never realized where does the word "personality" come from... Of course, anyone could easily see that it comes from the word "person"... and sure it is! but, which is its real meaning? According to traditional etymology, "person" comes from the Latin "personare", that means to resonate, in reference to the mask that the actors used in the ancient Greek theater back then. That mask had an orifice at the height of the mouth giving the voice a vibrant and penetrating sound; from there it comes "per sonare", to sound through some mean or to resonate. So, person means 'mask', 'rol or personage that an actor plays'. Saying it in another way, the persona and of course, the personality, is nothing more than a facade... yes, a fachade that hides the true human being behind it. And indeed, we all now that everyone builds his/her personality as he/she sees fit: thus, while some "persons" practice before a mirror the angle, the hair style, the clothing or facial expressions which they feel suit them better, others rehearse different entonements for their voice until it reflectes what, in their opinion, is the best version of themselves... in other words, we are looking for our best and most atractive disguise. At the end, every personality is nothing else than an design, a mask. Our true self is then covered, disguised, hidden by that mask, by that facade. "Your human personality always provides the means of evading the wise voice that speaks in every man." "Control your ego with energy; do not be so concerned about your name and your person. Forget about yourselves altogether so as to think only of the Father and of your brethren." "Forget about yourselves"... How opposed are the divine teachings of all eras to the egotists concepts so fashionable these days, and that are repeated over and over again in all the media! But that is topic of yet another issue of our newsletter... Our true inner self manifests through character, word that curiosly enough comes from the Latin "character" which was the word used to describe an instrument of color ink used to mark something; in other words, everything that marks us, that defines us and gives us a determined structure of attributes is the character. This is to say, the character individualises us, distinguishes or differentiates us from one another. "What you call character is nothing else than the manifestation of your spirit through your human side, because in your character is where thought, sentiment, word and action are found." "Character pertains to the spirit, and God has came to forge, to strenghten and to polish it with trials and tests, with lessons, some of them profound, some simple, some of them gratifying to the heart, some others hard to endure, but all of them advantegeous, since they all have the finality to shape your spirit in perfection." "The Lord shall put in your path the ocassions where you should put into practice all which you are hearing and learning, and this will happen even more after the departure of the word of the Lord and of His spiritual world of light" "Then, you must be much more careful with your deeds, with your words, thoughts and feelings". "By that time your character should have achieved an advance that allows it to remain always serene, either in the midst of joy as in pain, either in victory or in defeat." Under this point of view, it is smart and wise to use our time and efforts to build our character, rather than our personality. ____________________________________________________________ «¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥« ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ - The Knowledge and Universal Wisdom Upon Our Reach Once we enter into a profound meditation, we get in close contact with all the universal knowledge and wisdom, we feel great peace and then we have the answers we need, in a way not attainable through any other mean. In that state, time and space lose total importance, thus we project ourselves towards the past or the future since being in contact with our Father, everything is "here and now". The essential mind clears up, the gifts expand and virtues take life within us. It is then when we enter in touch with our true nature. It is when we return to be what we originally were: A pure thought that spread from God. ____________________________________________________________ «¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥« ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ - Last Word Meditation, my brothers, is a very important part of spiritual prayer. And we must not regard meditation as something mystical but as an important and natural part of our lives, as something as simple and natural as breathing is to our body. Being meditating so simple, out of laziness or ignorance we deprive ourselves of something so valuable to all of us. For if we were able to meditate during all the important decisions that in our life we have to take, in truth, how many mistakes would we cease to make! How much good we have at our reach, within ourselves!
