Rio de Janeiro – Brazil
Objectives
of the New Order – The Lord’s admonition – The ripe fruits – Divine Laws’ determination –
Planetary caravans – What souls can serve in these caravans?
The Lord Jesus
created his New Order in order to remind incarnate souls of their spiritual obligations, which is the main reason for their
return to Earth. Due to the fact that the activities and teachings on the part of many religions contributed very little towards
improving the morality of their followers, the Lord decided to compensate such deficiencies by attracting the thoughts of
incarnate souls with his New Order. The Lord himself dictated to Apostle Thomas the objectives of the New Order, which are
an integral part of its constitution. Since all incarnate souls are spirits attending a temporary earthly course, for which
they have to wear a body of flesh, they should not live detached from the duties and obligations they assumed in the spirit
world.
Nearly two millenniums have passed since the Lord’s presence on Earth, in a body of flesh, to awaken spiritual
sentiments in all men and women. The spirit world had decided then that the souls who had been repeatedly incarnating on Earth
needed more time to become spiritualized through religious teachings. And even though religious teachings helped only a small
number of souls to become spiritualized, thousands fortunately managed to do it on their own. It is essential then that on
this current pilgrimage on Earth all incarnate souls make an ultimate effort to reach such a goal, for spiritualization is
indispensable to their evolution.
Considering that many readers throughout the world will be fortunate enough to be able to read these Messages, the
Lord Jesus expects some kind of reaction from religious institutions, which may try to discredit them for thinking perhaps
that they will jeopardize their interests. However, since this was foreseen in the spirit world, the Lord warns them that
provisions have been made to thwart such a movement. Since it is now time for religious leaders to recognize that the need
to spiritualize incarnate souls is quite urgent, they should then relay to the spiritual ear of their followers that earthly
life is just a means, not an end. It is necessary for them to say to their spiritual ear that they came to Earth solely to
acquire spiritual progress and not to amass riches or become masters of the planet. As already explained previously, the planet
will never belong to any human being, regardless of how powerful he may consider himself to be. Since the Earth was created
and prepared during millions of years to serve as a spiritual school to all of God’s souls, it should not be considered
an object of conquest by any race.
Whenever nations disagree, the divine
Providence is compelled to intervene in order to
restore peace. Those leaders of people who were deceived by their wild dreams of conquest and domination of all men and women
soon became disillusioned, returning to their plane of spiritual life filled with regret. It follows then that the Earth can
only be governed by the divine Providence, who will continue to govern it in the
millenniums to come, determining the type of teachings that will be administered.
It is visible to us in the spirit world that, as a result of the experiences which they acquired in previous lives,
almost all men and women who are currently on the Earth have been able to obtain a fairly good amount of spiritual progress.
They can be compared to ripe fruits which need to be picked before they fall to the ground and deteriorate. Therefore, the
Superior Forces ask them to turn their attention toward the above before a strong wind throws them to the ground, thus
making it difficult for them to reach their spiritual home. Even though it has been determined in the spirit world that a
good number of incarnate souls will be promoted to higher planes of life at the completion of their incarnation, a small number
will have to go to an inferior school due to their inability to socially adapt to the earthly environment. Because the selection
process has already begun, the Lord wishes to offer all incarnate souls the opportunity for self-identification. Since spiritual
laws are devoid of any type of violence, and each soul is identified by its vibrational level, the Lord expects that they
will all accept this call. And as they approach the end of their earthly apprenticeship, they should present themselves to
the Superior Forces firmly entrenched in the principle of prayer and faith. By elevating the level of their mental vibrations,
they will be among those who will be promoted in the spirit world.
With respect to those souls who shall soon be conducted to inferior worlds due to their inability to live harmoniously
in their environment, the Lord Jesus makes one last appeal to them, which is for them to reform and to reconcile themselves
by discarding any practice that is not compatible with divine laws. Such laws prescribe the exercise of anything that is not
detrimental to one’s fellow creatures; they prescribe love for one another, and not harm. Some of their most important
chapters establish principles such as “Not to kill, not to steal, not to lie” as well as non-participation in
many other negative activities which prevent spiritual happiness.
If some of the fortunate readers of these Messages happen to be on a collision course with such laws, they should not
feel that they are beyond redemption. If a strong desire for self-reconciliation were to animate them, they could then immediately
begin practicing acts which are good and meritorious, repudiating anything else which in their own judgment would deserve
to be condemned by the divine laws. One of the New Order’s major objectives is not only to save those who want to be
saved and make every effort toward such a goal, but also to awaken those who, being anesthetized by material life, need to
be pushed toward the light. Most incarnate souls are found in the latter category, unfortunately.
The Lord Jesus knows that without this call from his New Order, those souls who are spiritually prepared would remain
anesthetized for the rest of their lives. They would require a new incarnation, like students who need to repeat the grade
for having wasted precious time. But the situation is much more important with regard to spiritual life. Since the number
of souls who are waiting in the spirit world for a new incarnation is quite high, it follows that those who are currently
living on Earth probably will not be able to return to this physical plane before the twenty-first or the twenty-second century.
Anyone who seriously meditates on this and is familiar with the New Order will surely agree that it would be better to start
preparing now for higher levels of life in the spirit world.
The Lord Jesus has sent several groups of highly evolved souls to more advanced planets so that they can at a later
time implant the result of their studies and observations on Earth. Such studies should provide them with great means for
advancing the progress of the Earth. The Lord shall offer such an opportunity to all interested incarnate souls upon their
return to the spirit world. In case someone wonders what kind of qualifications are necessary to be part of such groups, the
Lord Jesus answers that any soul who sincerely desires to undertake such a mission is eligible. It is proper to explain that
many of the souls who lead modest lives on Earth for lack of technical degrees may have stored in their spiritual files not
only ample knowledge, but also experiences from their previous lives, given that all souls are entitled to similar knowledge
and experiences in the course of their infinite lives.
Souls who were scientists in a previous life but now for reasons of convenience lead what appears to be modest lives
do qualify themselves to become part of the Lord’s planetary groups, who will then search for new ways to improve life
conditions on Earth. Many of the improvements that come to Earth are a result of the knowledge acquired in the more advanced
planets. Thus, when these souls come to Earth, they bring such knowledge recorded in their minds. The above is a summary of
what the Lord hopes to achieve through these Messages. Will the Lord reach such an objective?
There is no doubt that He will!
The Lord speaks directly to you in these Messages.
