That force which has driven man's destiny is called: an ideal. When the spark is ignited in man by his yearning to do good unto others, for brotherhood and mutual aid, that ideal translates to blessings for all. It is the example of the people of Israel that in the First Era, guided by the light of Moses, and having as an ideal to worship the true God, were able to accomplish their freedom, develop their gifts, conquer the promised land, and the direct communication with the Celestial Father. It is also the example of those Apostles of the Second Era that, following the steps of their Master, humble and without being concerned about their lack of worldly knowledge, embraced as an ideal the purpose to spread throughout the world the divine teachings, even if on many instances, they had to sacrifice their own lives. In humanity's history there has always been men and women who have fought for elevated ideals, and they have always been called dreamers and insane, but we must recognize that thanks to those few idealists our world changes, moves, evolves and grows. There are spirits whose will and spiritual force allows them to carry out great missions, others that accomplish smaller missions, but not necessarily less important. Before our Father's eyes all missions have the same value. "Be idealists, brethren, and thus there will be no stumbling in the journey superior to the force of your ideal, there will be no pitfall to discourage you, or test to defeat you in the path." "You will certainly have moments of uncertainty, temporary disorientations, tests that will make your spirit and matter shiver, but no blow will be able to defeat you, because the spirit that rises with an ideal never falls again." The Guardians. T. 63: 15-16 Two types of ideals exist: Those that are linked to the maneuvering of human power, the domination of one over the other, the development of instruments and sciences that control the future of beings through destruction, fear and death; those ideals in which pride makes some think that they can control time, nature, and even life. Those are selfish ideals, not human, lacking love, and as such perishable. The other ideals are linked to goodness, to the love of one for another, and to the accomplishment of great spiritual missions; those that are based on the development of good sciences which benefits mankind, in the luminous ideas that take well being to people elevating their spirits and their lives. Those ideals are the ones linked to the spirit. Its print cannot be erased and its benefits are eternal. "Live for an elevated ideal. Make your spirit recover its strength and energy in the accomplishment of its mission. Upon exercising my Doctrine, working for humanity's well being your spirit shall be forged, you will rejoice as well as suffer, and you shall know the value of faith and love". T.361:9 He who has no ideal in life does not truly live and closes his doors to the light of knowledge. He conforms himself with whatever reaches him first, apathetic to progress and evolution; allows time to go by and remains still without realizing that such indifference makes him hard and insensible, leading him to be uncaring not only for the destiny and well being of his brother, but not even his own. Instead, when men have elevated ideals, they open to their understanding the doors of the Divine Arcane that allow to obtain the necessary knowledge to come out successfully from all tests and accomplish to reach what was desired in the human as well as the spiritual level. Those whose ideals are based on selfishness, unmeasured ambition, or for purposes of obtaining power or recognition, those whose intentions are to pass on to history without caring for damages that his actions may have caused to others. These sooner or later shall have to reap the fruits of their low ideals, which shall be suffering, loneliness, war and destruction. The day in which humanity achieves for its ideals to be inspired in love and in the compliance with the Divine Laws, instead of being moved by the impulse of free will, that which was prophesized will be complied as well as what our Father has delivered to us in the Third Era: "You will once again see the clear skies and the fertile lands; the waters of the flowing currents will again be pure, and the ocean will be merciful. There will be fruit on the trees and flowers in the meadows, and the harvest will be abundant. And man, who will have been purified and be healthful, will again feel worthy and will see his pathway prepared for his ascension and return to Me". "Everything will be clean and unblemished from its very beginning, so that he may be worthy to possess the new era that is drawing near, for I shall lay the foundation upon firm ground". T. 351:68, 69. ____________________________________________________________ 互户互户互猾せカせЙせカせЙせカせЙせカせЙせカ  - Friendship, blessing and responsibility For the incarnated spirit to be able to perceive the divine love, in spite of the limits of the matter, our Father has surrounded us with countless marvels to show us constantly about His infinite love. That is the way that we perceive it through the blessings that nature delivers to us, the nearness of the animal kingdom which cheer, benefit and accompany us, of the stars which give us light and heat, of the earth which provides us with all that we need for our comfort and survival. His love has also provided a human family so that through the love of our parents, children, relatives and brothers, we could enjoy a pale reflection of his endless love; but in addition to these manifestation of His love, gave us one that is very special that does not sprout from an inherited last name or sharing the same blood, but from the spirit itself: friendship. We are not speaking of the occasional or conventional friendship which we find often in our path, we are talking about the friends that we choose for life; those with whom we make unspoken promises and commitments of unconditional friendship, those which often become even closer than our own brothers. Those pacts are from the spirit, and before the eyes of our Father are sacred. "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. Ye are my friends, if you do whatsoever I command you. Henceforth I call you not my servants; for the servants knoweth not what his lord doeth, but I have called you friends; for all things I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you". John 15:13-15 "Lend a hand as proof of friendship, but do it with sincerity. How do you wish to be brothers if you have not known how to be friends?" T.133:20 A good friend is he who is always with us, even if there is a large distance in between, the one who always receives us with the same fraternal love, even if time passes without being able to coincide. A good friend is he who is watchful of our needs, the one who listens when we ask to be heard, the one who applauds when we are successful, and who reprimands with love when we commit errors. A good friend is the one who always remembers us, even if we forget him at times, the one who gives good advise and good example; the one that appears when we seek him, and becomes invisible when we do not wish to see him, the one that respects us, and knowing our most intimate secrets does not reveal them. It is the one that always shares our sorrows and joys and keeps us in his prayers. "A man that hath friends must shew himself friendly; and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother". Proverbs 18:24 With how many friends such as these can we count on in our material world? And even more important, to how many are we that kind of a friend? We are very fortunate if we can say that we have or are a friend as such; instead, in the spiritual world, we have been blessed with an incalculable treasure, because we have an enormous number of friends that we cannot even imagine. "...No one is helpless, everyone has he who encourages and looks after you, you have many loves beneath the matter's veil; but you do not know them, or know in which way they love you from the hereafter. They are the spirits that inhabit in the kingdom of light, that help and console the little brothers, the weak, the fallen, and the sick." T.12:11 "You have so many brothers and friends in the spiritual valley that you do not know!" "Tomorrow, when the knowledge about the spiritual life has spread throughout the world, Mankind will recognize the importance of those beings that walk by your side, and men will bless My providence". T. 334:75-76 Those countless number of spirits of light are the ones that always watch over us and our world, are our brothers and friends; and if that was not enough, our Father in His infinite love has conceded us the loving and constant company of a guardian angel, a protecting spirit that accompanies us always, from the instant that we incarnate in this life; he always talks to us even if we can't hear him, advises us even if we don't realize that such a brilliant idea was inspired by him, and knowing of all our faults and stumbles, loves us over and above our materialism: that is our most faithful friend. "You are not alone, because My encouragement and My light are with each one of you; but if that seems too little for you, I have placed a spiritual being of light next to every human creature, so that he watches over your footsteps, so that they will make you sense misgivings when there is danger, and for you to avail yourself of their company in your solitude and as a support along the journey. They are those beings whom you call guardian angels, custodians or protectors." T. 334:70 When will we begin to follow the example of those custodian angels to feel as friends to all humanity, to give the best of us to those who come near? That will be the day that we can forget about our differences to unite in truth that is only one: the love of one for the other. Why don't we begin by giving love and be pending of the friends whom we have close to us, by elevating a prayer for their needs and send them a thought of love if they are far away? The great works begin when free will is exercised; why not start with ours? Why don't we begin to practice the gift of intuition that will make us have a feeling of our brethren's needs, and we begin to put into practice the repeated advise which our older brothers have given us: "May your fraternity be more than just being friends, may it convert itself into a spiritual fraternity." Visit one another, communicate to each other your sorrows, your joys; remember one another in your prayers." If you find yourselves far apart materially, be always united in your prayers and intentions. The Guardians. T. 30:21-23 ____________________________________________________________ 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 Dearly Beloved: It is time that we be the ones that take the first step, that we stop thinking that if our friends and brethren do not call us, it is because they do not need anything from us. We do not know how many times relying in our love, they have stayed waiting for something that they lacked: help, an advice, or our company, which never arrived. It is time that we begin to give something in return for the many blessings that we have received from all the friends that we have in the spiritual world: Our Father, the spiritual world of light, our pastor Elijah, and our guardian angel. "I shall ascend to the celestial mansions, and every time that your spirit needs of a friend, of an advice, of a cane, your pastor shall be with you, and you shall be with Me."
