Others, face the new year with old traditions, with superstitions that they really don’t know from where they came, such as the one that calls for using red underwear for good luck, or yellow for economic abundance; going up the stairs loading a suitcase in order to have forthcoming trips, or sweeping the front door of the house to chase away bad vibrations; it is another custom to light candles to have light reach their homes, or to eat twelve grapes to ask for twelve wishes to come true during the new year. Generally the list of good wishes end up in a drawer forgotten by their authors, the intentions of regeneration and renouncing the vices are postponed for better times and the traditions are repeated the following year " to see if then they come true". Today, we will dedicate a space in our newsletter to make an analysis of what our Father has given us in His teachings, in order to know how to accomplish through elevation of our spirit, all that which will fill of joy and blessings our daily lives. ________________________________________________________ «¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§« ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ - Advise for the year that is beginning: The failed intentions of reform and regeneration happen due to the lack of faith and confidence in ourselves and in our Celestial Father which are born from the lack of knowledge of whom we really are; that ignorance which makes us forget that within our small and rebellious matter, inhabits a wonderful being that has been gifted by our Father with attributes that allow him to accomplish the most difficult tasks, even that which seems impossible, which is to defeat oneself. "In order to defeat weakness, smallness, misery, passions and destroy doubt, faith and good works are indispensable, which are virtues that defeat the impossible; before them, that which is difficult and unreachable vanish like shadows". "He who lives illuminated by that interior light, no matter how poor the world may consider him, he will never feel pariah, abandoned, weak or lost; his faith in the Father, in life, in his destiny and even in himself, will never let him fall in his fight". Man has lacked will in that task of self rescue and that of his brethren, that firmness that will lead him to accomplish for his "yes" to always be yes, and his "no" to always be no. But we should not try to win all the battles in one single day, this is what often leads us to defeat and to sound the retreat to abandon our struggle. We should be winning the battle day to day, without running, but with a firm step; trying to win first the easier battles, to start taking the strength and knowledge to aid us in winning the harder battles. There is need for reflection and to face the conscience to know who we really are, and to understand that such struggle is not only for us, but for the benefit of all of our brothers, since in the manner that we are able to reach our regeneration, the benefit for all of them will also be accomplished. "Do you wish to listen with the spirit so that he be the one to nourish and takes advantage of the essence of this teaching? Cleanse your heart, clear your mind and let your conscience be the one to guide you. You shall then see that in your being a transformation will begin to realize, not only spiritual but moral and corporal. That elevation that with knowledge the spirit will acquire, that cleanliness that he will reach, will be reflected in the feelings of the heart and in the health of the body". The promise of our Father has always been kept; it is a fact that if our new year intentions and aims to regenerate are based in the light of the conscience, in the love of one for the other and in the development of those faculties that our Father has given to each one of His children, we will accomplish our daily goals. "It is the conscience which elevates the spirit toward a superior life above the flesh and its passions. Spirituality will enable you to feel a great love for God, when you succeed in practicing it; then you will understand the importance of life; you will contemplate its beauty and will find its wisdom. Then, you will surely understand why I have called it life". Now, we may ask ourselves: Why base our future in customs and superstitions that do not contain anything spiritual? How do we expect to accomplish anything that we want in the next year if our wishes are generally oriented towards the material, towards all that enlarges our pride and gives wings to fleeting moments, forgetting completely that the reason for our existence in the planet is to develop our spirit? Would it not be better to reflect upon the lost time, in the large quantity of energy that we spend in lost causes, those that will not leave in our lives any benefit for our spirit or for the spirits of others? And yet, we dedicate the major part of our energy, our best efforts and thoughts, in something that is ephemeral and whose existence will be concluded in the short years of our stay on earth. This is the constant symbol of the uncertainty that men have in their future, and of course, in the lack of faith in the Divine love. "On each succeeding new year, mankind is filled with hope, but there are also those who are fearful. Why do you live in fear of life and of the times? They have always been the same; you are the ones who pass on. Today you are children, tomorrow adults; today you are on Earth, tomorrow you are not; today you are born and tomorrow you die". "Certainly, each coming year is a mystery for man, but truly I say to you, that it is a new step which you shall take along the path of evolution". The day in which man understands that God is present in his future and in his daily life, he will stop worrying in the things that destiny will have for him, he will realize that we forge our own destiny with our acts of love or of indifference, he will learn that to wish for good things not only for himself but also for his brothers, and will not conform only with things that happen, but will also put his grain of sand to form part of the Divine plan of redemption. "Do not fear the future because you do not understand it; do not envision it enveloped in darkness; keep in mind that I am time and eternity; have in mind that I am in the future". ________________________________________________________ «¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§« ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ - The significance of Babel Etymologically, Babel means confusion, disorder; but, what is the spiritual meaning of Babel? What did our Celestial Father wish to teach us with this passage 11:1-9 of Genesis? Why does our Father today speaks to us in His teaching of the new Babel constructed by man in this third era? We know that our Father, due to the lack of elevation of mankind. has always spoken to us with allegories and symbolism so that through that which is material we can understand the spiritual, that is, the essence of the divine message. "Now the whole earth had one language and one speech. And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar, and they dwelt there. Then they said one another, "Come, let us make bricks and bake them thoroughly". They had brick for stone, and they had asphalt for mortar. And they said, "Come, let us build ourselves a city, and a tower whose top is in the heavens; let us make a name for ourselves, lest we be scattered abroad over the face of the whole earth". But the Lord came down to see the city and the tower which the sons of men had built. and the Lord said, "Indeed the people are one and they all have one language, and this is what they begin to do; now nothing that they propose to do will be withheld from them". "Come, let us go down and there confuse their language, that they may not understand one another’s speech". So the Lord scattered them aboard from there over the face of all the earth, and they ceased building the city. Therefore its name is called Babel, because there the Lord confused the language of all the earth; and from there the Lord scattered them abroad over the face of all the earth". In the beginning of time of humanity, all men seemed alike, spoke the same language and believed in one same God; but again, seduced by their pursuit of greatness and wanting to be like their creator, began to construct that tower of Babel, symbol of the pride that led them to want to be above everything else. The use of brick baked in fire instead of rock, and asphalt instead of mortar tells us in this passage of a weak construction, made with materials of low quality, which symbolizes that the monument in honor of pride was not constructed over firm foundations, being destined to crumble at any moment. God contemplated man’s work and making use of his Divine wisdom, allowed them to suffer the consequences of their weakness, their materialism and the bad use of their free will; which had as a consequence the loss of humility and charity, the great confusion that men live up to this date divided in different languages, people, races, religions, etc. Even after so many centuries the weak lives under the yoke of the strong, the humble under the arrogance of the powerful, the poor under the indifference of the rich, and all of them, under the pride of those that call themselves scientific, using their human knowledge as arms of wisdom, rise as if Gods to control the future of their peers. But all this, as it has been prophesized by our Father and His angels and will have its end in the hands of those who constructed it. "The science of man is an imitation of the tower of Babel; do you remember that lesson? The higher the human pride reaches, closer will he be to confusion and destruction of his false greatness". "If you see distinctions amongst you, if you speak different languages, and if you have different tones in the skin, remember that the tower of Babel was constructed by you". "A new Babel was risen by men, a new tower of pride and vanity. From its altitude they challenge My power and humiliate men. In truth I tell you that via that road man will not come to Me, not because I do not recognize science, since it is light that I, the Creator, have placed in the human mind, but because of the ill use that men have given to it". We can’t blame our Father for the bad times that our planet is going through, because He has not created chaos, He did not construct the Babel of the bad sciences, of the bad governors and the bad guides; and it will have to be man, its creator, that destroys that work of ignorance and pride to erect in the bottom of his being a tower of redemption constructed with repent, humility, with works of love towards his brethren, with elevation and spiritual wisdom. "The tower of Babel that men have constructed has been destroyed, but in the hearts of the people and races that tower of pride has continued to grow. Only a spiritual whirlwind can knock it down, and that tempest starts to shiver its foundation and walls; but when that tower is destroyed, there, in its place, another will be erected, that which will not be able to be destroyed because its sound foundations will not be of disunity, but of fraternity and harmony". "In this manner you shall start to construct the true tower of Israel, that which will unify all men spiritually in that Divine Law, changeless, and eternal which you got to know in the world in the lips of Jesus, when He told you: "Love one another" The current formed by all elevated prayer, by all acts of love and humility, by good thoughts, by regeneration and spirituality, will be the waters, that united to the Divine love, will knock on the foundations of the new Babel so that no stone over stone remains of pride and inequity. No one is lost because to our Father we are all important, we are all worthy of being rescued; even those which have astonished us because of their lack of love and spirituality, because confused or not, we are all His beloved children and His Divine essence is present in all. ________________________________________________________ «¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§« ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ - The law of cause and effect It is not the lack of paternal love that will make us responsible for the consequences of our acts, it is about Divine justice, it is about equality; to give to each which corresponds in accordance with his merits; in light or in darkness, in good as well as in bad, both in ignorance or wisdom. God is not subjected to time, time does exist because of Him, since time is a creature. For Him exists our intentions, thoughts, works, all those acts in our lives, of the long road of reincarnations that at one point of our existence will yield their sweet or sour fruit. The precise time to harvest the crop only belongs to the Father, because He is the only one who knows the right time for our spirit to receive the causes and effects of its process of evolution and perfectionism. "Every cause has an effect and every effect has a cause. This is the law of cause and effect. Because of this law, when you permit that your mind gives way to sinful thoughts and when you allow bad sentiments to emerge from your heart, what can you expect from it, but fruits of evil?" "Perchance do you believe that flowers can emerge from rocks or sweetness from bitterness?" "What good vibrations, what nice words of love, what good sentiments can pour from a corrupt heart?" "If you believe in goodness, then think of goodness, do good, live in goodness". "Banish the evil from your mind and heart, remove it from your life. To do so, you can count on the spiritual weapons that God has given you". ________________________________________________________ «¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§« ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ - Last word Dearly Beloved: I invite you to join me in meditating in our Father’s teaching so that its light allows us to illuminate our path in this year that begins, and so that the understanding of His lessons converts us in true cultivators of good today and thereafter.
