Why do we set aside His divine taughts? Why do we shut our ear up to His divine words, the heart to His sweet maxims? I would want that we brought more interest, more belief in the evangelic readings; we leave unprotected this book, we in action an empty word, a closed letter; we leave this astonishing code inside forgetfulness: your evil ones provide from the voluntary helplessness that you do of this condensation of the Divine Laws. Read therefore these pages wholly flamed of the dedication of Jesus, and meditate on them!" (Saint Vincent De Paul, The Gospel According to Spiritism – GAS, XIII, 12). "The word of Jesus was often allegoric and in parables; because He spoke according to the times and places. It is convenient now that the truth will be intelligible for the whole world. It is convenient to explain well and to develop these laws, considering that there are so few people who comprehend them, and yet lesser who practise them." (627 of The Spirits' Book – SB). "The doctrine which Jesus taught is the purest expression of His Law, because He was animated by the Godly Spirit, and He is the purest Spirit who has appeared over ground." (Allan Kardec, 625 of SB). "We recognize that the Spiritism results, at each step, from the same text of the Holy Scripture. The Spirits didn't come therefore to knock down the religion, as anyones intend; they come, on the contrary, to confirm and sanction religion by incontestable proofs. But, as the time is come of not to employ the figured language, they express themselves without allegory and they give to the things a clear and precise meaning which can't be subject to any false interpretation." (Saint Louis, 1011 of SB). "My friends, the ones who has attended to my life and death are the divine interpreters of my Father's wishes." (Jesus Christ, IX spiritist essay of The Mediums' Book – MB). "It would be illogical, in effect , to admit that a doctrine which wants to decrease the number of his associates log truer than that which wants to increase their ones." ( Erastus, disciple of Saint Paul, GAS, XXI, 10).

In this work I explain the four Gospels under the Light of The Spirits' Book in its french original. I also analyze juridically, according to my qualification of Bachelor in Law at Brazil. Don't be afraid if you meet fragments of the brazilian law in this work. This book is directed by Jesus Christ (the Spirit of Truth). They make part of this society: the Spirit Luke evangelist (Roustaing), Paul apostle, Mary from Nazareth, Mary Magdalene, Allan Kardec, Francisco Cândido Xavier, Lívia (Angélica), Joanna de Āngelis (Carol), Peter apostle, John evangelist and James his brother, Thomas, the Didymus (Renato Aragão), Lazarus, Bezerra de Menezes, Judas Iscariot (Andrew Louis, Jeanne D'Arc), for the time being. And I myself: Emmanuel. Our thought is spiritist, christian and fluidicist. The body of Jesus-God is made of the fifth essence of the matter, because He is pure Spirit (Holy Spirit). II – The principle: the alpha   1 In the principle was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the principle with God. 3 All things were made through him; and without him were not anything made that have been made. 4 In him there is life; and the life is the light of men. 5 And the light shined in the darkness; and the darkness defeated against the light. (John, I, 1-5). 27 and you also are witness, because you have been with me since the principle . (John, XV, 27). 3 without father, without mother, without genealogy, having neither principle of days nor end of life, but made like unto the Son of God, abided a priest eternally. (Hebrews, VII, 3). 2. We are with Jesus since the beginning of the times, because, a rigorously, the time didn't have a beginning, and it won't have an end. " It is thus that everything incases, everything inchains inside nature, from the primitive atom to the archangel, who himself began at the atom ;" (540 of SB). "This universal, or primitive, or elementary fluid, being the agent which the spirit employs, is the principle without which matter would be in a perpetual state of division and would never acquire the properties which gravity give to it." (27 of SB). Everything has principle in the rougher matter that is imponderable (it has no weight), which is in constant fission. According to the law this matter will acquire weight with the presence of the electron (universal, electric, magnetic or nervous fluid). The union of the agent (universal fluid – electric current, electron ); which is "a matter more perfect, more subtle, and which we can regard as independent." (27, II, of SB), which doesn't divide constantly; to the proper and gross matter (the atomic nucleon), creates the atom. "Because the nothingness doesn't exist." (958 of SB). The whole Universe is full of a matter in constant fission: the perispirit of God. The nucleon of the atom is the proper matter and his flowing electrons constitute the universal fluid. According to the principle of incertitude of Werner Heisenberg it is impossible specifying the exact place and the exact instant of a particle in the same time. This means the electrons are in constant movement, so they have life and they act like electromagnetic wave. These particles flow as waves, just as the sound cross through the air. Besides, according to the Quantic Chemistry, agreed the quantic magnetic number, the electron always fills an orbital (like Earth which has an orbit surrounding the Sun). This orbital uses to have the three-dimensional shape of a signal of infinite (∞). Agreed the quantic number spin, the limit of electrons in an orbital is two, and they must have opposed spins, in consequence of the principle of exclusion of Pauli. So, each electron has a positive and a negative pole, just as Earth has a belt of radiation of Van Hallen; this is proved using a magnetic needle pointing to the magnetic poles of Earth. This magnetism makes the electrons of same spin keep away and makes electrons of opposed spins been attracted to each other, because the electrons also have a belt of radiation like Earth. Besides, the sun also spins and influences magnetically the Earth, provoking alterations in the magnetic axle of Earth, which is proved by the seasons, attempting to the changes of the timetable of aurora and night-fall. The orbit of Earth is circular. Just the same the nucleon of the atom also spins. This may be proved by the cyclones which in the Northern Hemisphere spins always in the same turning and in the Southern Hemisphere spins in the opposed turning. The same happens to the water, which flows to the drain in both hemispheres. So, in each hemisphere the nucleons of the atoms always spin in the same turning. A hemisphere is made of matter, and the other is made of anti-matter, because the nucleons of the atoms (the proper matter) spin in opposed turnings in the opposed hemispheres. "The electrons and photons which constitute your physical body integrate, equally, our perispirits, in other characteristics of frequencies. It is necessary, in view of this, paying attention to the wonder of your potential divinity." (Spirit of Alexander in the work of André Luiz, psychographer: Francisco Cândido Xavier, Os Missionários da Luz, FEB, page. 98). III – The eternity and the end: the omega   16 And behold, one came to him and said, Master, what good thing will I do, that I may have eternal life? 17 And He said to him, Why did you ask me concerning which is good? One there is who is good: but if you want to enter into life, keep the commandments. (Matthew, XIX, 16-17). 15 that whosoever believes in him may have eternal life. 16 Because God so loves the world that he gave his anointed (Christ, Messiah) Son, which whosoever believes on him, would not perish, but have eternal life. (John, III, 15-16). 36 He that believes on the Son has eternal life; but he that doesn't obey the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him. (John, III, 36). 14 but whosoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never be thirst; but the water that I will give him will become in him a well of water springing up unto eternal life. (John, IV, 14). 24 Truly, truly, I say to you, He that hears my word, and believes him that sent me, has eternal life, and doesn't come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life. 25 Truly, truly, I say to you, the hour comes, and now is, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God; and they that hear will live. 26 Because as the Father has life in himself, even so gave he to the Son also to have life in himself. (John, V, 24-26). 40 Because this is the will of my Father, that every one that sees the Son, and believes on him, will have eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day. (John, VI, 40). 47 Truly, truly, I say to you, He that believes in me has eternal life. 54 He that eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life: and I will raise him up at the last day. 63 It is the spirit that gives life; the flesh profits nothing: the words that I have spoken to you are spirit, and are life. 68 Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom will we go? You have the words of eternal life. (John, VI, 47, 54, 63 e 68). 28 I give to them eternal life; and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand. 29 Those, who my Father has given them to me, are greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father's hand. (John, X, 28-29). 25 Jesus said to her, I am the resurrection and the life: he that believes on me, though he dies, yet he will live; 26 and whosoever lives and believes on me will never die. Do you believe this? 27 She said to him: Yes, Lord: I have believed that you are the Christ, the Son of God, which had to come into the world. (John, XI, 25-27). 12 But as many as received him, to them gave he the right to become sons of God, do those who believe on his name: (John, I, 12). 49 Because I haven't spoke from myself; but the Father that sent me, he has prescribed what I have to say, and announce. 50 And I know that his commandment is life eternal: the things therefore which I speak, just as the Father has said to me, so I speak. (John, XII, 49-50). 6 Jesus said to him, I am the way, and the truth, and the life: no one comes to the Father, but by me. 15 If you love me, you will keep my commandments. (John, XIV, 6 e 15). 3 And this is eternal life, that they know you the unique true God, and him whom you did send: Jesus Christ. (John, XVII, 3). 13 who delivered us out of the power of darkness, and translated us into the kingdom of the Son of his love ; 14 in whom we have our redemption, the forgiveness of our sins: 15 who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation ; 16 because in him were all things created, in the heavens and upon the earth, things visible and things invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers; all things have been created through him, and to him; 17 and he is before all things, and in him all things consist. 18 And he is the head of the body, the assembly. He is the principle, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence. 19 Because it was the good pleasure of the Father that in him dwells all the fullness; (Colossians, I, 13-19). 3. "You can say that we are without beginning, if you understand, for there that God being eternal, He has the duty to create without liberating." (78 of SB). We didn't have a beginning in time and God creates us constantly, like chicken raises yours chicks. Everything has principle in matter. "In nature nothing is lost, nothing is created, everything is transformed." (Antoine Laurent Lavoisier). "There is formation; but, no creation, because from the nothing the spirit can take nothing." (Allan Kardec, 129 of MB). The matter has always existed. God doesn't make the matter appear from the nothing. "Nothing is the nothingness and the nothingness doesn't exist." (23, II, of SB). "When we say that soul is immaterial, it must be understood in a relative sense, not in absolute sense, the absolute immateriality would be nothing . The soul or the spirit is something. When we qualify it of immaterial, we want to explain that his essence is so superior that has no analogy to what we call proper matter, so he is immaterial for us. (The Spirits' Book, 23 and 82)." (Allan Kardec, 50 of MB). The nothingness has never existed. "No, nothing is not vacuum; this which is vacuum for you is occupied by a matter which escapes to your senses and to your instruments." (36 of SB). "God doesn't entrust himself to a direct action on matter;" (536, II, of SB). "It is the life of the Spirit which is eternal; this of the body is transitory and ephemeral. When the body dies, the soul re-enters in the eternal life." (153 of SB). We are eternal as God. We didn't have a start in times and we will not have an end in times. "All the men are brothers in God, because they are animated by the spirit, and they tend to the same end (goal)." (54 of SB). "The peoples are excusable of not to believe in the word of that who was animated of Spirit of God " (671 of SB). We have principle in proper matter (mineral kingdom) and we will reach our end which is to be God (Pure Spirit or Holy Spirit), so we will participate of the Kingdom of God, the fifth Kingdom, after the mineral one, the vegetable one, the animal one and the human one. "I am the Alpha and the Omega, the principle and the end, says the Lord God, who is and who was and who will be, the Almighty." (Revelation, I, 8). "If we observe the sequence of beings, we encounter that they form chain without solution of continuity from the brute matter to the more intelligent man. But in the middle between man and God, who is the alpha and omega of all things, which immense blank!" (Allan Kardec, XVII of Introduction of SB). IV – The marvelous announcement of Elijah's reincarnation   1 Forasmuch as many have taken in hand to draw up a narrative concerning those matters which have been fulfilled among us, 2 as they delivered them to us, who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and ministers of the word, 3 it seemed good to me also, having traced the course of all things accurately from the first, to write to you in order, most excellent Theophilus; 4 that you can know the certainty concerning the things wherein you were instructed. 5 There was in the days of Herod, king of Judaea, a certain priest named Zacharias, of the course of Abijah: and he had a wife of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elisabeth. 6 And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord. 7 And they had no child, because that Elisabeth was barren, and they both were now well stricken in years. 8 Now it came to pass, while he executed the priest's office before God in the order of his course, 9 according to the custom of the priest's office, his lot was to enter into the temple of the Lord and burn incense. 10 And the whole multitude of the people were praying without at the hour of incense. 11 And there appeared to him an angel of the Lord standing on the right side of altar of incense. 12 And Zacharias was troubled when he saw him, and fear fell upon him. 13 But the angel said to him: Fear not, Zacharias: because your supplication is heard, and your wife Elisabeth will give birth to you a son, and you will call his name John. 14 And you will have joy and gladness; and many will rejoice at his birth. 15 Because he will be great in the sight of the Lord, and he will drink no wine nor strong drink; and he will be filled with the Holy Spirit, even from his mother's womb. 16 And many of the sons of Israel will be turn to the Lord their God. 17 And he will go before his face in the spirit and power of Elijah , to turn the hearts of the fathers to the sons, and the disobedient to walk in the wisdom of the just; to make ready for the Lord a people prepared for him. 18 And Zacharias said to the angel: How will I know this? Because I am an old man, and my wife well stricken in years. 19 And the angel answering said to him: I am Gabriel, that stand in the presence of God; and I was sent to speak to you, and to bring you these good news (Gospel, GodSpell). 20 And behold, you will be silent and not able to speak, until the day that these things will come to pass, because you did believe not my words, which will be fulfilled in due time. 21 And the people were waiting for Zacharias, and they marvelled while he tarried in the temple. 22 And when he came out, he could not speak to them: and they perceived that he had seen a vision in the temple: and he continued making signs to them, and remained dumb. 23 And it came to pass, when the days of his ministration were fulfilled, he departed to his house. 24 And after these days Elisabeth his wife conceived; and she hid herself five months, saying, 25 Thus has the Lord done to me in the days wherein he looked upon me, to take away my reproach among men. (Luke, I, 1-25). 4. The apparition of the angel was the first mediunic phenomenon of the New Testament. The second one was the blockade of the speech of Zacharias, alike to what has happened to Paul, the apostle, who got blind just after seeing the apparition of Jesus at the way to Damascus. Gabriel was the angel that had appeared to the prophet Daniel who used to prophesy by dreams: 16 And I heard a man's voice between the banks of the Ulai, which called, and said: Gabriel, make this man to understand the vision. 17 So he came near where I stood; and when he came, I was frightened, and fell upon my face: but he said to me: Understand, son of man; for the vision belongs to the time of the end. (Daniel, VIII, 16-17). 5. It happened mediunic phenomena of physical effects inside Elisabeth. “God does not exercise a direct action upon matter; He has His devoted agents at every step of the ladder of worlds."” (536, b, of SB). "All spirits are able to produce physical phenomena; but spirits of elevated degree usually leave them to those of a lower order, more apt for action upon matter than for the things of intelligence, and, when they judge it to be useful to produce physical manifestations, employ spirits of subaltern degree as their auxiliaries." (106 of SB). “That is according as their post is more or less material or intelligent; some command, others execute; those who execute material facts are always of an inferior order, at the home of the spirits as the home of men." (538, a, of SB). Good physician spirits, using mediunic fluids and fluids of materialized imperfect spirits, put an embryo inside Elisabeth. For these reasons Jesus didn't write the Gospel. He left this material job to his disciples. Jesus also has never worked at Joseph's carpentry. Does someone know about any furniture or sculpture made by Jesus? The more purified the spirit, the less material work he does exercise. V – Gabriel announces the marvelous Mary's pregnancy   26 Now in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city of Galilee, named Nazareth, 27 to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary. 28 And he came in to her, and said: Hail, you full of grace, the Lord is with you. You are blessed among women . 29 But she was greatly troubled at the saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this might be. 30 And the angel said to her: Fear not, Mary: because you got grace in face of God. 31 And behold, you conceive in your womb, and bring forth a son, and will his name JESUS. 32 He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Most High: and the Lord God will give to him the throne of his father David: 33 and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever; and of his kingdom there will be no end. 34 And Mary said to the angel: How shall this be, seeing I know not a man? 35 And the angel answered and said to her: The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you: wherefore also the holy thing which is begotten will be called the Son of God. 36 And behold, Elisabeth your relative, she also has conceived a son in her old age; and this is the sixth month with her that was called barren. 37 Because no word from God will be void of power. 38 And Mary said: Behold, the handmaid of the Lord; be it to me according to your word. And the angel departed from her. (Luke, I, 26-38). 6. The pure Spirits "They are sometimes spoken of as angels, archangels, or seraphim." (113 of SB). "They are the messengers and ministers of God, the executors of His orders in the maintenance of universal harmony." (113 of SB). "To assist men in their distresses, to excite them to the love of good or to the expiation of the faults which keep them back on the road to the supreme felicity, are for them sweet." (113 of SB). "God is, in the immensity, the infinite. Spirit such pure, so subtle that very few spirits can see Him, such extensive that irradiates everywhere don't dividing Himself, keeping this way His own individuality." (Jean-Baptiste Roustaing. The Four Gospels . Tome I, 4¬ edition, Rio de Janeiro, Brazilian Spiritist Federation, 1954, translation of Guillon Ribeiro, N. 38, page. 216). "This name belongs to Jesus from Nazareth . We have no doubt that He can become manifest; but, if the spirits really High does it only in exceptional circumstances, the reason inhibits we to believe that the Spirit pure by excellence answers the calling of the first one that appears." (Allan Kardec, IX spiritist essay of MB). 7. Jesus is Holy Spirit (from the hebraic: pure ). “Being no longer subject to reincarnation inside perishable bodies, they enter on the life of eternity into inside God's bosom.” (113 of SB). For being pure Spirit Jesus reborned, but He didn't reincarnate inside a perishable body. "Are there worlds in which the spirit, ceasing to inhabit a material body, has no longer any other involucre than the perispirit? Yes, and this involucre itself becomes so etherealized that, for you, it is as though it did not exist. This is the state of the fully purified spirits ." (186 of SB). “For the superiority of His moral essence and of His fluidic qualities, those abilities reached in Him rates much higher than the ordinaries. Placing behind His carnal soma, He has made patent the state of the fully purified spirits." (Allan Kardec, The Genese, XV, 44). Jesus received a perispirit made of the fifth essence of the matter: “'Immaterial' is not the right word; 'incorporeal' would be nearer the truth, for you must understand that a spirit, being a creation, must be something real. Spirit is the fifth essence of the matter¹, but matter existing in a state which has no analogue within the circle of your comprehension, and so ethereal that it could not be perceived by your senses."(82 of SB). This half-material psychosoma of Jesus “can assume any form that the spirit may choose to give to it. It is thus that a spirit is able sometimes to make himself visible to you, whether in dreams or in your waking state, and can take a form that may be visible, and even palpable, for your senses.” (95 of SB). For Jesus and Gabriel appearing in dreams or when you are waked is easy. “What does the spirit become after its last incarnation? "Anointed (Christ, Messiah) Spirit; he is pure Spirit.” (170 of SB). "Do spirits who are already purified ever come inside worlds of lower degree? They come into inside them very frequently in order to help them to progress. Unless they did so, those worlds would be left to themselves, without guides to direct them." (233 of SB). "What is the most perfect type that God has offered to man as his guide and model? Jesus." (625 of SB). “March! March! You have guides ; follow them. Your goal cannot fail you, for that goal is God.” (495 of SB). Jesus isn't a wandering spirit. The souls "have bodies, because it is necessary for the spirit to be clothed with matter in order to act upon matter; but this psychosoma is more or less material according to the degree of purity at which each spirit has arrived, and it is these gradations of purity that decide the different worlds through which we have to pass; for in our Father's house are many mansions, and therefore many degrees among those mansions. There are some who know this, and possess the consciousness of this fact, while upon the earth; and there are others who have no such intuition." (181 of SB). "In proportion as a spirit becomes purified, the body with which he clothes himself also approaches more nearly to the spirit-nature. The matter of which his body is composed is less dense, he no longer crawls heavily on the surface of the ground; his bodily needs are less gross and the various living beings in those higher worlds are no longer obliged to destroy one another in order to feed themselves. The spirit has more freedom, and possesses, in regard to objects at a distance, orders of perception of a nature unknown to us; he sees with his eyes what we see only in thought." (Allan Kardec, 182 of SB). VI – Joseph wants to leave her behind, but he dreams with the angel   18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When his mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together she was found with child of the Holy Spirit. 19 And Joseph her husband, being a righteous man, and not willing to make her a public example, was minded to put her away privately. 20 But when he thought on these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying: Joseph, son of David, fear not to take to you Mary your wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit. 21 And she will bring forth a son; and you will call his name JESUS; because he will save his people from their sins. 22 Now all this is come to pass, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying, 23 Behold, the virgin will be with child, and will bring forth a son, and they will call his name Emmanuel; which is, being interpreted, God with us. 24 And Joseph waked up from his sleep, and did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and took to him his wife; 25 and he did not have sexual relation with her till she had brought forth a son: and he called his name JESUS. (Matthew, I, 18-25). 8. Joseph had not taken Mary's virginity. She became pregnant without sex. 14 Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: behold, a virgin will conceive, and bear a son, and will call his name Emmanuel.á (Isaiah, VII, 14). VII – Elisabeth is Gabriel's medium   39 And Mary arose in these days and went into the hill country with haste, into a city of Judah; 40 and entered into the house of Zacharias and saluted Elisabeth. 41 when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth, psychophonic medium, let the Holy Spirit speak; 42 and she lifted up her voice with a loud cry, and said: You are praised among women , and praised is the fruit of your womb! 43 Why would the mother of my Lord come to me? 44 For behold, when the voice of your salutation came into mine ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy. 45 And praised is she that believed; because will be a fulfillment of the things which have been spoken to her from the Lord. 46 And Mary said: My soul does magnify the Lord, 47 And my spirit has rejoiced in God, my Saviour. 48 Because he has looked upon the meekness of his handmaid: since now all generations will call me blessed. 49 The Almighty has done to me great things; and Holy is his name. 50 And his mercy goes from generations to generations over the ones who fear him. 51 He has showed strength with his arm; He has dispersed the proud of the thoughts of their heart. 52 He has put down princes from their thrones, and has exalted the humbleness ones. 53 The hungry he has filled with good things; and the rich he has sent empty away. 54 He has given help to Israel his servant who will remember his mercy 55á (As he spoke to our fathers) Toward Abraham and his seed forever. 56 And Mary was lodged by her about three months, then Mary returned to her house. (Luke, I, 39-56). 9. Jesus is Holy (pure) and the Lord. Jesus means in hebraic: “Just God saves”. The Spirits' Book says about the pure Spirit Gabriel (113): “The men can enter into communication with them; but very presumptuous will be the one who had intended to have them at his orders.”. VIII – Elijah's reincarnation   57 Elisabeth's time was fulfilled that she would be delivered; and she brought forth a son. 58 And her neighbors and her relatives heard that the Lord had magnified his mercy towards her; and they rejoiced with her. 59 And it came to pass on the eighth day, that they came to circumcise the child; and they would have called him Zacharias, the name of the father. 60 And his mother answered and said: Not way; but he will be called John. 61 And they said to her, There is none of your relatives that are called by this name. 62 And they made signs to his father, what he would have him called. 63 And he asked for a writing tablet, and wrote, saying: His name is John. And they marveled all. 64 And his mouth was opened immediately, and his tongue loosed, and he spoke, blessing God. 65 And fear came on all that neighbors: and all these sayings were noised abroad throughout all the hill country of Judaea. 66 And all that heard them laid them up in their heart, saying: What then will this child be? Because the hand of the Lord was with him. 67 And his father Zacharias was filled with the Holy Spirit, and prophesied, saying: 68 Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel; because he visited and redeemed his people, 69 And raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David 70 (As he spoke by the mouth of his holy prophets that have been from of old), 71 Salvation from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us; 72 To show mercy to our fathers and to remember his holy covenant; 73 The oath which he spoke to Abraham our father, 74 To grant to us that we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies, we would worship him without fear, 75 In holiness and righteousness before him all our days. 76 You, child, will be called the prophet of the Most High. Because you will go before the face of the Lord to make ready his ways; 77 To give knowledge of salvation to his people in the remission of their sins, 78 Because of the tender mercy of our God, whereby the dayspring from on high will visit us, 79 To shine upon them that sit in darkness and the shadow of death; to guide our feet into the way of peace. 80 And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, and was in the deserts till the day of his showing to Israel. (Luke, I, 57-80). 10. The main mediunic phenomenon was the break of the dumbness of Zacharias. The other happened though the psychophonic mediumistic quality of Zacharias who talked by himself and also for the Holy Spirit. IX – The birth of Jesus and His childhood   1 In those days, there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that all the Roman Empire would be included in a census. 2 This was the first census made when Quirinius was governor of Syria. 3 And all went to be part of the census, every one to his own city. 4 And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and family of David; 5 to be part of the census himself with Mary, who was betrothed to him, being pregnant. 6 while they were there, the days were fulfilled that she would be delivered. 7 And she brought forth her firstborn son; and she wrapped him in diaper, and laid him in a trough, because there was no room for them in the inn. 8 And there were shepherds in the same country living in the field, and keeping watch by night over their flock. 9 And an angel of the Lord stood by them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were so afraid. 10 And the angel said to them: Do not be afraid; for behold, I bring you good news (Gospel) of great joy, which will be to all the people: 11 for there is born to you this day in the city of David a Saviour, who is Christ the Lord . 12 And this is the sign to you: You will find a babe wrapped in diaper, and lying in a trough. 13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, 14 Glory to God in the highest, and peace on earth among willingly men. 15 And the angels went away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another: Let us now go even to Bethlehem, and see this thing that is come to pass, which the Lord has made to know to us. 16 And they came quickly, and found both Mary and Joseph, and the babe lying in the trough. 17 And when they saw it, they made known concerning the saying, which was spoken to them about this child. 18 And all those who heard it wondered at the things, which were spoken to them by the shepherds. 19 But Mary kept all these sayings, pondering them in her heart. 20 And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, even as it was spoken to them. 21 And when eight days were fulfilled for circumcising him, his name was called JESUS, as he was called by the angel before he was conceived in the womb. (Luke, II, 1-21). 4 But when the kindness of God our Saviour, and his love toward man, appeared, 5 not by works done in righteousness, which we did ourselves, but according to his mercy he saved us, through the palingenesis (rebirth) and the reincarnation of the Holy Spirit, 6 which he poured out upon us richly, through Jesus Christ our Saviour; (Titus, III, 4-6). 16 w ho has been made, not after the law of a carnal commandment, but after the power of an endless life . (Hebrews, VII, 16). 20 Because our city is in heaven; whence also we wait for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ: 21 who will turn the body of our humiliation to be equal to the body of his glory, according to the effective might he is able even to subject all things to himself. (Philippians, III, 20-21) 44 it is seeded human body; it is raised a spiritual body . If there is a human body, there is also a spiritual body . (I Corinthians, XV, 44). 11. Jesus was the firstborn of Mary. The text is clear: Christ is the Lord; and the multitude of angels is also the Lord. This phenomenon é equal to the Ascension Day. 1 Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, wizards from the east came to Jerusalem, 2 saying: Where is he that is born King of the Jews? Because we saw his star in the east, and are come to worship him. 3 And when Herod the king heard it, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him. 4 And gathering together all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he inquired of them where the Christ would be born. 5 And they said to him, in Bethlehem of Judaea: for thus it is written through the prophet, 6 And you Bethlehem, land of Judah, are in no way least among the princes of Judah: because from you will come a guide , who will be shepherd of my people Israel. 7 Then Herod privately called the wizards, and learned of them exactly what time the star appeared. 8 And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said: Go and search out exactly concerning the young child; and when you have found him, bring me word, that I also may come and worship him. 9 and they, having heard the king, went their way; and lo, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where the young child was. 10 And when they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy. 11 And they came into the house and saw the young child with Mary his mother; and they fell down and worshipped him; and opening their treasures they offered to him gifts, gold and frankincense and myrrh. (Matthew, II, 1-11). 2 But you, Beth-lehem Ephrathah, which are little to be among the thousands of Judah, out of you will one come to me that is to be king in Israel; whose principles are from of old, for eternity. (Micah, V, 2). 12. The star was a spiritist phenomenon visible by the wizards; perhaps it was the vision of the materialization of the angels who were praising on the heaven. 22 And when the days of their purification according to the law of Moses were fulfilled, they brought him up to Jerusalem, to present him to the Lord 23á (as it is written in the law of the Lord: every male that opens the womb will be called holy to the Lord), 24 and to offer a sacrifice according to that which is said in the law of the Lord, a pair of turtledoves, or two young pigeons . 25 There was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon; and this man was righteous and devout, looking for the consolation of Israel: and the Holy Spirit was upon him. 26 And it had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit, that he would not see death, before he had seen the Lord's Christ. 27 And he was entered into the temple by the Spirit: and when the parents brought in the child Jesus, that they might do concerning him after the custom of the law, 28 then he received him in his arms, and blessed God, and said: 29 Now you will let this servant depart, Lord, according to your word, in peace; 30 Because my eyes have seen your salvation, 31 Which you had prepared before the face of all peoples; 32 A light for revelation to the foreigners, and the glory of the people of Israel. 33 And his father and his mother were marveling at the things, which were spoken concerning him; 34 and Simeon blessed them, and said to Mary his mother: Behold, this child is set for the falling and the rising of many in Israel; and for a sign which is spoken against; 35 and a sword will pierce through his own soul; that thoughts out of many hearts may be revealed. 36 And there was one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher (she was of a great age, having lived with a husband seven years from her virginity, 37 and she had been a widow of eighty-four years old), who departed not from the temple, worshipping with fastings and supplications night and day. 38 And coming up at that very hour she gave thanks to God, and spoke of him to all them that were looking for the redemption of Jerusalem. (Luke, II, 22-38). 12 And being warned by God in a dream that they would not return to Herod, they get back to their country by another way. 13 Now when they were departed, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream, saying: Arise and take the young child and his mother, and escape to Egypt, and be you there until I tell you: because Herod will seek the young child to destroy him. 14 And he arose and took the young child and his mother by night, and departed to Egypt; 15 and was there until the death of Herod: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying: Out of Egypt did I call my son . 16 Then Herod, when he saw that he was bluffed by the wizards, he got very angry, and ordered to kill all the male children that were in Bethlehem, and in all the borders thereof, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had exactly learned of the wizards. 17 Then was fulfilled that which was spoken through Jeremiah the prophet, saying: 18 A voice was heard in Ramah, crying and great mourning , Rachel crying for her children; and she would not be comforted, because they are not. 19 But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt, saying: 20 Arise and take the young child and his mother, and go to the land of Israel: because they are dead the ones who were plotting the death of the child. 21 And he arose and took the young child and his mother, and came to the land of Israel. 22 But when he heard that Archelaus was reigning over Judaea in the room of his father Herod, he was afraid to go there; and being warned of God in a dream, he left to the parts of Galilee, 23 and came and lived in a city called Nazareth; that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophets, that he would be called a Nazarene . (Matthew, II, 12-23). 2 Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them: When either man or woman will make a special vow, the vow of a Nazirite , to separate himself to the Lord, 5 All the days of his vow of separation there will no razor come upon his head: until the days be fulfilled, in which he separated himself to the Lord, he will be holy; he will let the locks of the hair of his head grow long . 8 All the days of his separation he will be holy to the Lord . 10 And on the eighth day he will bring two turtle-doves, or two young pigeons, to the priest, to the door of the tent of assembly: á(Numbers, VI, 2, 5, 8, 10). 1 When Israel was a child, then I loved him, and called my son out of Egypt . (Hosea, XI, 1). 15 Thus says the Lord: A voice is heard in Ramah, crying, and great lamentation , Rachel crying for her children; she refused to be comforted for her children, because they are not. (Jeremiah, XXXI, 15). 39 And when they had accomplished all things that were according to the law of the Lord, they returned into Galilee, to their own city Nazareth. 40 And the child grew, and waxed strong, filled with wisdom: and the grace of God was upon him. 41 And his parents went every year to Jerusalem at the feast of the passover. 42 And when he was twelve years old, they went up after the custom of the feast; 43 and when they had fulfilled the days, as they were returning, the boy Jesus remained in Jerusalem; and his parents did not know it; 44 but supposing him to be in the company, they went a day's journey; and they looked for him among their relatives and acquaintance: 45 and when they found him not, they returned to Jerusalem, seeking for him. 46 After three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the middle of the masters, both hearing them, and asking them questions: 47 and all that heard him were amazed at his understanding and his answers. 48 And when they saw him, they were astonished; and his mother said to him: Son, why have you thus dealt with us? Your father and I were anguished looking for you. 49 And he said to them: How were you looking for me? Did you not know that I must be in my Father 's house? 50 And they understood not the saying, which he spoke to them. 51 And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth; and he was subject to them: and his mother kept all these sayings in her heart. 52 And Jesus advanced in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men. (Luke, II, 39-52). 13. Jesus teenager didn't call God of the Lord, but Father. X – Elijah preaches and baptizes, but Jesus doesn't baptize with water   7 Because many deceivers are gone into the world, even they that confess not that Jesus Christ came in the flesh. This is the deceiver and the antichrist . (II John, 7) 6 There was a man, sent from God, whose name was John. 7 The same came for witness, that he would be witness of the light, in order to all believe through him. 8 He was not the light, but he came to witness of the light. 9 The true light which lights every man, coming into the world. 10 The Word was in the world, and the world was made through him, and the world knew him not. 11 He came to his ones, and they that were his ones received him not. 12 But as many as received him, to them gave he the right to become sons of God , the ones that believe on his name: 13 who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. 14 And the Word became flesh, and lived among us (and we saw his glory, glory as the anointed (Christ, Messiah) from the Father), full of grace and truth. 15 John witnesses of him, and cries, saying: This is he of whom I said, he that comes after me is become before me: because he was before me. 16 Because we all received of his fullness and grace for grace. 17 Because the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. 18 No man has seen God at any time; the God anointed (Christ, Messiah) , who is in the bosom of the Father, he has declared him. 19 And this is the witness of John, when the jews sent to him from Jerusalem priests and levites to ask him: Who are you? 20 And he confessed, and denied not; and he confessed: I am not the Christ. 21 And they asked him: Who are you then? Are you Elijah? And he said: I am not. Are you the prophet? And he answered: No. 22 They said therefore to him: Who are you? That we may give an answer to them that sent us. What do you say about yourself? 23 He said: I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness: Make straight the way of the Lord, as said Isaiah the prophet. 24 And they had been sent from the pharisees. 25 And they asked him, and said to him: Why do you baptize then, if you are not the Christ, neither Elijah, neither the prophet? 26 John answered them, saying: I baptize in water; but in the middle of you stands one whom you know not, 27 he will come after me, whose sandals I am not honorable to untie. 28 These things were done in Bethany beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing. 29 On the day after he saw Jesus coming to him, and said: Behold, the Lamb of God, which takes away the sin of the world! 30 This is he of whom I said: after me comes a man who is become before me: because he was before me. 31 And I knew him not; but that he would be made manifest to Israel, for this cause I came baptizing in water. 32 And John witnessed, saying: I saw the Spirit descending as a pigeon out of heaven; and he placed upon him. 33 And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize in water, he said to me: Upon whom you will see the Spirit descending, and placing upon him, the same is he that baptizes in the Holy Spirit. 34 And I have seen, and have witnessed that this is the Son of God. (John, I, 6-34). 14. John the Baptist did not know he was the reincarnation of Elijah, neither that he was prophet. "Why does the incarnated spirit lose the remembrance of his past? Man cannot, and may not, know everything; God, in His wisdom, has so ordained. Without the veil, which hides certain things from his view, man would be dazzled, like one who passes suddenly from darkness to light. Through the forgetfulness of his past a man is more fully himself." (392 of SB). John apostle believed that Jesus had a body of flesh. 1 Now there was a man of the pharisees, named Nicodemus, a leader of the jews; 2 the same came to him by night, and said to him: Rabbi, we know that you are a Master come from God; because no one can do these signs that you does, if God is not with him. 3 Jesus answered and said to him: Truly, truly, I say to you, if one does not be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. 4 Nicodemus says to him: How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother's womb, and be born? 5 Jesus answered: Truly, truly, I say to you: Who does not be born from the water and from the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God! 6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. 7 Marvel not that I said to you, You must be born again. 8 The wind blows where it wants, and you hear its voice, but you don't know from where it comes, neither for where it goes; like this is every one that is born of the Spirit. 9 Nicodemus answered and said to him: How can these things be? 10 Jesus answered and said to him: You are master of Israel, and don't understand these things? 11 Truly, truly, I say to you: We speak that which we know, and be witness of that which we have seen; and you receive not our witness. 12 If I told you earthly things and you don't believe, how will you believe if I tell you heavenly things? 13 And none has ascended into heaven, but he that descended out of heaven : the Son of man , who is in heaven. 14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, the Son of Man must be lifted up; 15 that whosoever believes in him have eternal life. 16 Because God so loved the world, which he gave his anointed (Christ, Messiah) Son, that whosoever believes on him would not perish, but have eternal life. 17 Because God sent not the Son into the world to judge the world; but that the world would be saved through him. 18 He that believes on him is not judged: he that doesn't believe has already been judged, because he has not believed on the name of the anointed (Christ, Messiah) Son of God. 19 The judgment is this: The light is come into the world, and men loved the darkness more than the light; because their works were bad. 20 Because every one that does evil hates the light, and doesn't come to the light, for that his works would be reproved. 21 But he that does the truth comes to the light, that his works are made manifest, that they have been made in God. (John, III, 1-21). 17 For this the Father loves me, because I give my life, that I can take it again . 18 No one takes it away from me, but I give it by myself. I have power to give my life, and I have power to take it again. This commandment I received from my Father . 19 There was a division again among the jews because of these words. 20 And many of them said: He has a demon, and is mad; why do you hear him? 21 Others said: These are not the sayings of one possessed with a demon. Can a demon open the eyes of the blind? (John, X, 17-21). 15. Nicodemus came to ask Jesus if John the Baptist would have been Elijah and Jesus explained him without that he had asked any question. Jesus talks about the water because our body is water made in majority, besides, we were born immersed in amniotic liquid in the mother's womb. The spirits speak to us, but we can't see them. We don't know from where their words come. They are like wind that we don't know from where it comes. The spirits influences our thoughts and acts; “it is very often they who direct you.” (459 of SB). “When a thought is suggested, it is like a voice speaking to you. Generally your own thoughts come first. In point of fact, this distinction is not of much practical importance for you, and it is often better for you not to be able to make it.” (461 of SB). Like wind, we don't know to where the spirits go. “As spirits transport themselves from point to point with the speed of thought,” (247 of SB). Jesus and we are son of the man. Jesus came from heaven. “Do spirits who are already purified ever come inside worlds of lower degree? They come into inside them very frequently in order to help them to progress. Unless they did so, those worlds would be left to themselves, without guides to direct them." (233 of SB). Jesus says that reincarnation is commandment of the law of God. Behold if it is commandment, none can avoid to it. One day we will be purified as Jesus and we will resurrect as He did, in a world where we will be Christs, without physical body. We resurrect in Spirit until there. Behold the law of God forbids killing. Because it is impossible destroying the spirit. 1 And in those days John the Baptist comes preaching in the wilderness of Judaea, saying: 2 Regret you; because the kingdom of heaven is nearby. 3 Because this is he that was spoken of through Isaiah the prophet, saying: The voice of one crying in the wilderness, make you ready the way of the Lord, make his paths straight . 4 Now John himself was dressing clothes of camel's hair, and a leather belt about his loins ; and his food was grasshoppers and wild honey. 5 Then went out to him Jerusalem, and all Judaea, and the entire region round about the Jordan; 6 and they were baptized of him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins. 7 When he saw many of the pharisees and sadducees coming to his baptism, he said to them: Race of vipers, who warned you to escape from the wrath to come? 8 Bring forth therefore fruit worthy of sorrow: 9 and do not to say among you: We have Abraham to our father. Because I say to you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children to Abraham. 10 The ax has already been placed at the root of the trees: each tree therefore that does not bring forth good fruit is cut off, and thrown into the fire. 11 I baptize you in water to regret: but he that comes after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to transport: he will baptize you in the Holy Spirit and in fire: 12 whose blade is in his hand, and he will clean thoroughly his threshing-floor; and he will gather his wheat into the granary, but the straw he will burn up with eternal fire. 13 Then Jesus comes from Galilee to the Jordan to John, to be baptized of him. 14 But John would discourage him, saying: I need to be baptized of you, and you come to me? 15 But Jesus answering said to him: Let it be now, because thus it is convenient to fulfil all justice. Then he let it be. 16 And Jesus when he was baptized, went up straightway from the water: and lo, the heavens were opened to him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending as a pigeon, and coming upon him; 17 and lo, a voice of the heavens, saying: This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. (Matthew, III, 1-17). 3 The voice of one that cries in the wilderness: Prepare the way of the Lord; make level in the desert a highway for our God . (Isaiah, XL, 3) . 7 And he said to them: What were the clothes of man who came up to meet you, and told you these words? 8 And they answered him: He was dressed with hairy clothes and a leather belt about his loins. And he said: It is Elijah the Tishbite . (II Kings, I, 7-8) . 16. John doesn't remember he is Elijah, but he dressed the same as Elijah. The pure spirit took the form of a pigeon. The perispirit "can assume any form that the spirit may choose to give to it." (95 of SB). The voice of the angel is a phenomenon called by Edgard Armond as 'direct voice'. 1 Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judaea, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of the region of Ituraea and Trachonitis, and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene, 2 in the high-priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came to John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness. 3 And he came to all the region round about the Jordan, preaching the baptism of sorrow to remission of sins; 4 as it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet: The voice of one crying in the wilderness: make ready the way of the Lord, make his paths straight . 5 Every valley will be filled, and every mountain and hill will be brought low; and the crooked will become straight, and the rough ways smooth ; 6 And all flesh will see the salvation of God . 7 He said therefore to the multitudes that went to be baptized of him: Race of vipers, who warned you to escape from the wrath to come? 8 Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of sorrow, and do not begin to say among you: We have Abraham to our father: because I say to you, that God is able to raise up children to Abraham of these stones. 9 And the ax is already placed at the root of the trees: every tree therefore that does not bring forth good fruit is cut down, and thrown into the fire. 10 And the multitudes asked him, saying: What must we do then? 11 And he answered to them: Who has two coats, divide them with who has none; and he that has food, do the same. 12 And there came also publicans to be baptized, and they said to him: Master, what must we do? 13 And he said to them: Don't charge more than the stipulated. 14 And soldiers also asked him, saying: And we, what must we do? And he said to them: Don't mistreat any, neither accuse any one wrongfully; and be content with your wages. 15 And as the people were in expectation, and all men reasoned in their hearts concerning John, if he would be the Christ; 16 John said to them all: I indeed baptize you with water; but there comes he that is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to untie: he will baptize you in the Holy Spirit and in fire: 17 whose blade is in his hand, to clean his threshing-floor thoroughly, and to gather the wheat into his garner; but he will burn the straw up with eternal fire. 18 With many other exhortations therefore preached he good news (Gospel) to the people; 19 but Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him for Herodias his brother's wife, and for all the evil things which Herod had done, 20 added this also to them all: he arrested John in prison. 21 When all the people were baptized, Jesus also having been baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened, 22 and the Holy Spirit descended in a bodily form, as a pigeon, upon him, and a voice came of heaven: You are my beloved Son; in you I am well pleased. (Luke, III, 1-22). 3 The voice of one that cries in the wilderness: Prepare you the way of the Lord; make right in the desert a highway for our God . 4 Every valley will be exalted, and every mountain and hill will be made low; and the twisted will be made straight, and the rough places a plain : 5 and the glory of the Lord will be revealed, and all flesh will see altogether that the mouth of the Lord spoke it . (Isaiah, XL, 3-5). 1 The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, Son of God. 2 As it is written in Isaiah the prophet: Behold, I send my messenger before your face, who will prepare your way. 3 The voice of one crying in the wilderness: Make ready the way of the Lord, make his paths straight ; 4 John came, who baptized in the wilderness and preached the baptism of sorrow to remission of sins. 5 And there went out to him all the country of Judaea, and all they of Jerusalem; and they were baptized of him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins. 6 And John was clothed with camel's hair, and had a leather belt about his loins, and ate locusts and wild honey. 7 And he preached, saying: There comes after me he that is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to untie. 8 I have baptized you in water; but he will baptize you in the Holy Spirit. 9 In those days, that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized of John in the Jordan. 10 And straightway coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens break open, and the Spirit as a pigeon descending upon him. 11 And a voice came of the heavens: You are my beloved Son, in you I am well pleased. (Mark, I, 1-11). 1 Behold, I send my messenger, and he will prepare the way before me: and the Lord, whom you seek, will suddenly come to his temple ; and the messenger of the covenant, whom you desire, behold, he comes, says Lord of hosts. (Malachi, III, 1). 22 After these things Jesus and his disciples came to the land of Judea; and there he remained with them, and baptized. 23 And John also was baptizing in Enon near to Salim, because there was much water there: and they came, and were baptized. 24 Because John was not yet thrown into prison. 25 There was a questioning on the part of John's disciples with a Jew about purifying. 26 And they came to John, and said to him: Master, he that was with you beyond the Jordan, to whom you have made witness, the same baptizes, and all men come to him. 27 John answered: A man can receive nothing, except it has been given him from heaven. 28 You yourselves are witness that I said: I am not the Christ, but, that I am sent before him. 29 He that has the bride is the bridegroom: but the friend of the bridegroom, that stands and hears him, rejoices greatly because of the bridegroom's voice: this joy therefore is made full. 30 He must increase, but I must decrease. 31 He that comes from above is above all: he that is of the earth is of the earth, and of the earth he speaks: he that comes from heaven is above all . 32 What he has seen and heard, of that he is witness; and no man receives his witness. 33 He that has received his witness has set his seal to this, that God is true. 34 Because he whom God has sent speaks the words of God: because he gives not the spirit by measure. 35 The Father loves the Son, and has given all things to his hand. 36 He that believes on the Son has eternal life; but he that doesn't obey the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him. 1 When therefore the Lord knew that the pharisees had heard that Jesus was making and baptizing more disciples than John 2 ( although Jesus himself did not baptize , but his disciples), (John, III, 22 to John, IV, 2). XI – Jesus and the samaritan   3 he left Judea, and departed again into Galilee. 4 And he needed to pass through Samaria. 5 So he came to a city of Samaria, called Sychar, near to the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph: 6 and Jacob's well was there. Jesus therefore, being tired of his journey, sat by the well. It was about the sixth hour. 7 Then a woman of Samaria came to draw water: Jesus said to her: Give me to drink. 8 Because his disciples were gone away into the city to buy food. 9 The Samaritan woman therefore said to him: How is it that you, being a jew, ask drink to me, who I am a Samaritan woman? (Because jews have no dealings with samaritans.) 10 Jesus answered her: If you knew the gift of God, and who it is that says to you: Give me to drink; you would have asked of him, and he would have given you living water. 11 The woman said to him: Sir, you have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: How come have you that living water? 12 Are you greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well, and drank of it himself, and his sons, and his cattle? 13 Jesus answered to her: Every one that drinks of this water will be thirst again: 14 but whosoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never be thirst again; but the water that I will give him will become in him a well of water springing up unto eternal life. 15 The woman said to him: Sir, give me this water, that I don't be thirst again, neither come all the way here to draw. 16 Jesus said to her: Go, call your husband, and come here. 17 The woman answered to him: I have no husband. Jesus said to her: You said well, I have no husband; 18 because you have had five husbands; and he whom you now have is not your husband: this you have said truly. 19 The woman said to him: Sir, I see that you are a prophet. 20 Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and you say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men must worship. 21 Jesus said to her: Woman, believe me, the hour comes, when neither in this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, will worship the Father. 22 You worship that which you do not know: we worship that we know; because salvation is from the jews. 23 But the hour comes, and now is, when the true worshippers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; because these are whom Father looks for being his worshippers . 24 God is a Spirit; and they that worship him must worship in spirit and truth . 25 The woman said to him: I know that Messiah comes (he is called Christ): when he is come, he will declare to us all things. 26 Jesus said to her: I am him that speaks to you. 27 And upon this his disciples came; and they marveled that he was speaking with a woman; but none of them said: What do you seek? Or, Why do you speak to her? 28 So the woman left her waterpot, and went away into the city, and said to the people, 29 Come, see a man, who told me all things that I ever did: can this be the Christ?! (John, IV, 3-29). 17. Jesus offers to the samaritan the universal fluid to drink. “In proportion as a spirit becomes purified, the body with which he clothes himself also approaches more nearly to the spirit-nature. The matter of which his body is composed is less dense he no longer crawls heavily on the surface of the ground; his bodily needs are less gross and the various living beings in those higher worlds are no longer obliged to destroy one another in order to feed themselves.” (Allan Kardec, 182 of SB). There have been people in Earth that declares they can live neither feeding, nor drinking water, living only of the light of the auroras. Jesus asserts that God is Spirit. God is the Spirit that reached the supreme degree of intelligence, of perfection. “The first order or highest category covers the pure Spirits, who has reached the supreme degree of perfection.” (100 of SB). “God is the supreme intelligence , first cause of all things.” (1 of SB). “ Intelligence is a faculty that is proper to each being, and constitutes its moral individuality.” (72, a, of SB). The angels, archangels and seraphim are “the pure spirits who have reached the highest degree of the scale, and hold all the perfections .” (128 of SB). “God must hold these perfections in the supreme degree ; because, if one of them were less, or were not possessed by Him in an infinite degree, He would not be superior to all, and consequently would not be God. In order to be above all things, God must have no instabilities, He must have none of the imperfections of which the imagination can conceive.” (13 of SB). “If you take away even one of God's attributes, we would no longer have God. So likewise, if you take away even one of Christ's virtues, you would no longer have Christ.” (Erastus, GAS, XXI, 9). "VI. – The end of the soul, in his evolution, is reaching and consummating in him and turning around of him, crossing the times and the ascending stations of the Universe, by blossoming mights he has in germ, this eternal notion of the Beauty and Good, which means the idea of God, the proper idea of perfection." ( Léon Denis , O Problema do Ser, do Destino e da Dor , fifth edition, Brazilian Spiritist Federation, Rio de Janeiro, page. 453 – the last one). “God is infinite inside his perfections,” (Allan Kardec, 3 of SB). “All men are brothers in God, because they are animated by the spirit and they incline to the same end.” (54 of SB). “Not to believe the word of Him who was animated by Spirit of God is excusable on the part of peoples” (671 of SB). Allan Kardec says about Jesus: “The doctrine he teached is the purest expression of the law of God, because he is animated by the Spirit of God, and he is the purest appeared over Earth.” (625 of SB). “For the superiority of His moral essence and of His fluidic qualities, those abilities reached in Him rates much higher than the ordinaries. Placing behind His carnal soma, He has made patent the state of the fully purified spirits." (Allan Kardec, The Genese, XV, 44). "The science still do not know enough, but it will get there, if it wants to walk with Spiritism. The perispirit can modify and change infinitely." (Lamennais, item 51 of chapter IV, of the first part of MB). Worshiping God is loving the Christ above all. “God prefers those who worship Him from the heart, with sincerity, and by doing what is good and avoiding what is evil,” (...) “He who professes to worship Christ, and who is proud, envious, and jealous, who is hard and implacable to others, or ambitious of the goods of this sphere, is religious with the lips only, and not with the heart.” (654 of SB). “Gravitate to the unity of God is the goal of humanity. To reach this aim three things are necessary: justice, love and science; three things are contrary and opposed: ignorance, hate, and injustice.” (...) “Believe me, brothers in God and in Jesus Christ,” (...) “the true aim of his creation consists in the harmonious worship of the Beauty, the Good, idealized by the human standard, by the Man-God , by Jesus-Christ.” (Paul, apostle, 1009 of SB). Lo, it is not necessary going to the temple to worship the Christ. Jesus is Spirit that broadcasts all over the Universe. 30 They went out of the city, and were coming to him. 31 Meanwhile the disciples prayed him, saying: Master, eat! 32 But he said to them: I have meat to eat that you do not know. 33 The disciples therefore said one to another: Does any man have brought him something to eat? 34 Jesus says to them: My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to accomplish his work . 35 Don't you say: Are there still four months to the harvest? I say to you: Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields, that they are white already to harvest. 36 The harvester receives since now his reward, and treasures his fruit to eternal life; so the sower and the harvester are happy. 37 Because it is true the saying: One sows, and another harvests. 38 I sent you to pick what you haven't seeded: others have worked, and you are entered into their work. 39 Many samaritans from that city believed on him because of the witness of the woman, who testified: He told me all things that ever I did. 40 So when the samaritans came to him, they asked him to remain with them: and he remained there two days. 41 And many others believed in him because of his word; 42 and they said to the woman: Now we believe, not because of you speaking: because we have heard by ourselves, and know that this is actually the Saviour of the world. (John, IV, 30-42). 18. Jesus never exercises his free will. He always makes his Father's will: the will of the other pure Spirits. In Samaria Jesus didn't come to seed, but to pick and there were many believers. Unlikely of what happened in the land where He was born. There were many unbelievers there: a lot to seed. XII – Jesus talks to the obsessing spirit who tempts Him   1 Then Jesus was taken by Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil. 2 And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he got hunger. 3 And the tempter came and said to him: If you are Son of God , order these stones to become bread. 4 But he answered: It is written: Man will not live only of bread, but of each word that comes from the mouth of God. 5 Then the devil takes him into the holy city; and he set him on the top of the temple, 6 and said to him, If you are the Son of God throw yourself down: because it is written: He will order his angels to guard you; and, they will support you on their hands, for you don't stumble against a stone. 7 Jesus said to him: Again it is written: You will not attempt the Lord your God. 8 Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain, and showed him all the kingdoms of the world, and their glory; 9 and he said to him: All these things I will give you, if you fall down and worship me. 10 Then said Jesus to him: Get out, Satan: for it is written: You will worship the Lord your God, and you will make cult only of him. 11 Then the devil left him; and behold, angels came and served him. (Matthew, IV, 1-11). 3 And he humiliated you, and allowed you to hunger, and fed you with manna, which you did not know, neither your fathers knew; in order to make you understand that man will not live only of bread, but of everything that comes out of the mouth of the Lord the man will live. (Deuteronomy, VIII, 3). 11 Because he will give his angels order about you, to guard you in all your ways. (Psalms 91, 11). 16 You will not attempt the Lord your God, as you have tempted him in Massah. (Deuteronomy, VI, 16) 13 You will fear the Lord your God; and you will serve him, and you will swear by his name. (Deuteronomy, VI, 13). 4 Hear, Israel: the Lord your God is the unique Lord. 5 and you will love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your might. (Deuteronomy, VI, 4-5). 6 The sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord one day, Satan also came among them . (Job, I, 6). 19. Jesus doesn't need the matter. "Null influence of matter; absolute intellectual and moral superiority in relation to the spirits of all the other orders." (112 of SB). "They have passed through every degree of the scale of progress, and have despoiled themselves from all the impurities of matter." (113 of SB). So Jesus doesn't eat material food. For Him eating is a material act. And He is dematerialized. About worship: "“God prefers those who worship Him from the heart, with sincerity, and by doing what is good and avoiding what is evil,” (...) “He who professes to worship Christ, and who is proud, envious, and jealous, who is hard and implacable to others, or ambitious of the goods of this sphere, is religious with the lips only, and not with the heart.” (654 of SB). "God is a Spirit; and they that worship him must worship in spirit and truth." (John, IV, 24). Jesus talked to the obsessing spirit at the desert, so it is not bad talking to the spirits, although bad or ignorant. "Truly, truly, I say to you, he that believes on me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do;" (John, XIV, 12). We can do everything that Jesus does. The devils are: "the imperfect spirits, who seek to take possession of him and to dominate him, and who are happy to see him succumb. It is what we want do describe with the figure of Satan." (122, a, of SB). "The aim of trial is not to enlighten God about man's merit, because God knows perfectly his worth, but to leave to man the entire responsibility of his conduct, since he is free to do or not to do. Man having free choice between good and evil, trial serves to bring him under the action of temptation, and thus to give him the merit of resistance, for God, though knowing beforehand whether he will triumph or succumb, cannot, being just, either reward or punish him other wise than according to the deeds he has done." (871 of SB). "Without free will man wouldn't be guilt in doing wrong, nor would have merit in doing right." (872 of SB). "There isn't irresistible attraction: the man can always close his ear against the occult voice who calls him to the evil inside him," (872 of SB). We must always remember that Satan is a son of God. 1 And Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan, and was guided by the Holy Spirit in the wilderness 2 during forty days, being tempted of the devil. And he did eat nothing in those days: and when they were completed, he hungered. 3 And the devil said to him: If you are the Son of God, order this stone to become bread. 4 And Jesus answered to him: It is written: Man will not live of bread alone. 5 And he guided him up, and showed him all the kingdoms of the world in an instant. 6 And the devil said to him: I will I give all this authority, and the glory of them: because it was given to me; and to whomsoever I will I give it. 7 If you worship me down on your knees, all will be yours. 8 And Jesus answered to him: It is written: You will worship the Lord your God, and you will make cult only him. 9 And he guided him to Jerusalem, and set him on the top of the temple, and said to him: If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down from here: 10 because it is written: He will order his angels about you, to guard you; 11 and, they will support you on their hands, for you don't stumble against a stone. 12 And Jesus answered to him: It is said: You will not attempt the Lord your God. 13 Finished the temptations; the devil went way until new trial. (Luke, IV, 1-13). 12 And straightway the Spirit drove him into the wilderness. 13 And he was in the wilderness forty days tempted by Satan; and he was with the wild animals; but the angels served him. (Mark, I, 12-13). XIII – Jesus is condemned to death   14 And Jesus returned to Galilee in the might of the Spirit : and his fame ran the entire region round. 15 And he taught in their synagogues, being glorified of all. 16 And he came to Nazareth , where he had been created (raised): and he entered, as his custom was, into the synagogue on the saturday, and stood up to read. 17 And it was delivered to him the book of the prophet Isaiah. And he opened the book, and found the place where it was written, 18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he anointed (christened, the Messiah) me to preach good news (Gospel) to the poor; he has sent me to proclaim liberation to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are oppressed, 19 To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord . 20 And he closed the book, and gave it back to the attendant, and sat down; and the eyes of all in the synagogue were fixed on him. 21 And he began to say to them: Today this scripture was fulfilled in your ears. 22 And all of him were witness, and they wondered at the words of grace which were from his lips: and they said: Is not this Joseph's son? 23 And he said to them: Doubtless you will say to me this proverb: Physician, heal yourself: whatsoever we have heard done at Capernaum, do also here in your own country. 24 And he said: Truly I say to you: No prophet is welcome in his own country. 25 Truly I say to you: There were many widows in Israel in the days of Elijah, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, when reigned much hunger over all the land; 26 and to none of them was Elijah sent, but only to Zarephath, in the land of Sidon, to a woman that was a widow. 27 And there were many lepers in Israel in the time of Elisha the prophet; and none of them was cleaned, but only Naaman the Syrian. 28 And they were all filled with wrath in the synagogue, as they heard these things; 29 and they stood up, and expelled him of the city, and took him to the top of the mount where their city was built, for throwing him down headlong. 30 But he passing through the middle of them went way. (Luke, IV, 14-30). 1 The Spirit of the Lord Jehovah is upon me; because the Lord has anointed me to preach good news to the quietly; he has sent me to renew the broken-hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to the arrested ; 2 to proclaim the year of Lord's favor, and the day of revenge of our God; to console all the ones which are sorrowful; (Isaiah, LXI, 1-2). 20. Jesus returned to Galilee 'in the might of the Spirit': the pure Spirits "inhabit certain spheres, but they are not confined to them as men are confined on the ground; they can be everywhere better any others." (188 of SB). "As Spirit transport himself with the speed of thought, we may say he goes everywhere each time. His thought may radiate and be brought at the same moment on many different points; but this faculty depends on his purity. The more impure the spirit, the more restrict is his sight. Only the high Spirits can embrace the whole." (247 of SB). "Spirits pass through everything." (91 of SB). Jesus declared he was the Anointed (Messiah in hebraic and Christ in greek) who would preach the good news (Gospel in hebraic), then he was condemned to death. He said that only one widow was saved. They wanted salvation for all. They took him to the top of the abyss to kill him, but it was not his time, he became intangible and went away. Those who wanted to kill him must have been very impressed. Jesus, physician, healed himself from arrest and death. "In work: 'A Luz do Espiritismo', of Vianna de Carvalho, psychographer: Divaldo Pereira Franco, is separated. Look: 'In Nazareth, in front of the furious doggery, Jesus utilized the faculty of dematerialization.' (page. 87)" (information from Roustaing museum on the site: http://www.casarecupbenbm.org.br). “You are always wanting miracles; but God sows miracles by handfuls under your feet, and yet you still have men who deny their existence. Did Christ Himself convince His contemporaries by the prodigies He accomplished? Do you not see men, at this day, denying the most evident of facts, though occurring under their very eyes? Have you not among you some who say that they would not believe, even though they saw? No; it is not by prodigies that God wills to bring men back to the truth; He wants, in His goodness, to leave to them the merit of convincing themselves through the exercise of their reason.” (802 of SB). XIV – Jesus and the marvelous fishing of fishes and men   1 While the multitude pressed upon him and heard the word of God, that he was standing by the lake of Gennesaret; 2 and he saw two boats standing by the lake: but the fishermen had gone out of them, and were washing their nets. 3 And he entered into one of the boats, which was Simon's, and asked him to put out a little from the land. And he sat down and taught the multitudes out of the boat. 4 And when he had stopped speaking, he said to Simon: Put out into the deep, and let down your nets for fishing. 5 And Simon answered and said: Master, we worked all night, and took nothing: but at your word I will let down the nets. 6 And when they had done this, they got a great multitude of fishes; and their nets were breaking; 7 and they called to their partners in the other boat, that they come and help them. And they came, and filled both the boats, so that they began to sink. 8 But Simon Peter, when he saw it, fell down at Jesus' knees, saying: Lord! Be far from me because I am a sinful man. 9 Because he was amazed, and all that were with him, at the draught of the fishes which they had taken; 10 and so were also James and John, sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. And Jesus said to Simon: Do not fear; from now on you will be fisherman of men. 11 And when they had brought their boats to land, they left all, and followed him. (Luke, V, 1-11). 35 In the next day John was standing, and two of his disciples; 36 and he looked upon Jesus as he walked, and said: Behold, the Lamb of God! 37 And the two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus. 38 And Jesus turned, and saw them following, and said to them: What do you look for? And they said to him, Rabbi (which is to say, being interpreted, Master), where do you live? 39 He said to them: Come, and you will see. They came therefore and saw where he lived; and they remained with him that day: it was about the tenth hour. 40 One of the two that heard John speaks, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother. 41 He found first his own brother Simon, and said to him: We have found the Messiah (which is, being interpreted, Christ, the Anointed). 42 He brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked upon him, and said: You are Simon the son of John: you will be called Cephas (which is by interpretation, Peter) (Peter means stone). 43 In the day after he was going to Galilee, and he found Philip: and Jesus said to him: Follow me. 44 Philip was from Bethsaida, of the city of Andrew and Peter. 45 Philip found Nathanael, and said to him: We have found him, of whom Moses and the prophets wrote in the law, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph. 46 And Nathanael said to him: Can any good thing come from Nazareth? Philip said to him: Come and see. 47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and said of him: Behold, a true israelite, in whom is no guile! 48 Nathanael said to him: Where do you know me? Jesus answered and said to him: Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you. 49 Nathanael answered him: Master, you are the Son of God; you are King of Israel. 50 Jesus answered to him: Because I said to you, I saw you under the fig tree, did you believe? You will see greater things than these. 51 And he said to him: Truly, truly, I say to you: You will see the heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man. (John, I, 35-51). 12 When he heard that John was arrested, he went to Galilee; 13 and leaving Nazareth, he came to live in Capernaum, which is by the sea, in the borders of Zebulun and Naphtali: 14 that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying: 15 The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, toward the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the foreigners, 16 the people that were in darkness saw a great light, and to them that lived in the region and shadow of death, to them did light spring up. 17 From that time began Jesus to preach, and to say: Regret you; because the kingdom of heaven is nearby. 18 And walking by the sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea; because they were fishers. 19 And he said to them: Come after me, and I will make you fishers of men. 20 And they left the nets immediately, and followed him. 21 And going on he saw two other brothers, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in the boat with Zebedee their father, repairing their nets; and he called them. 22 And they left immediately the boat and their father, and followed him. (Matthew, IV, 12-22). 14 Now after John's arrest, Jesus came to Galilee, preaching the gospel of God, 15 and saying: The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is nearby: regret, and believe in the gospel. 16 And passing along by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew the brother of Simon casting a net in the sea; because they were fishers. 17 And Jesus said to them: Come after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men. 18 And they immediately left the nets, and followed him. 19 And going on a little further, he saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, who also were in the boat repairing the nets. 20 And he called them soon: and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the diarists, and went after him. (Mark, I, 14-20). 21. Through a good fishing Jesus got fished his prime disciples who was all fishermen. XV – Cana's wedding anniversary   1 Three days after there was a wedding anniversary (jubilee of the first coitus, copulation) in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there: 2 and Jesus also was invited, and his disciples, to the wedding anniversary. 3 And when the wine finished, the mother of Jesus said to him: They have no wine. 4 And Jesus said to her: Woman, what have I to do with you? My hour is not yet come. 5 His mother said to the servants: Do everything he says you to . 6 There were six waterpots of stone set there after the jews' manner of purifying, containing two or three firkins each. 7 Jesus said to them: Fill the waterpots with water. And they filled them up to the brim. 8 And he said to them: Draw out now, and took to the emcee of the feast. And they did it. 9 And when the emcee of the feast tasted the water now become wine, and knew not from where it was (but the servants that had drawn the water knew), the emcee of the feast called the bridegroom, 10 and said to him: Every man set on first the good wine; and when men have drunk freely, then that which is worse: you have kept the good wine until now. 11 This beginning of his signs did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested his glory; and his disciples believed on him. 12 After this he went down to Capernaum, he, and his mother, and his brothers, and his disciples; and there they did not remain many days. (John, II, 1-12). 24 and man will leave his father and his mother, and he will link to his wife: and they will be one flesh. (Genesis, II, 24). 4 And he answered: Do you not have read that the Creator, from the beginning, made them man and woman, 5 and said: For this cause a man will leave his father and mother, and will link to his wife; and the two will become one flesh? 6 So that they are no more two, but one flesh . Therefore God has joined together, man will not separate. (Matthew, XIX, 4-6) 22. Jesus didn't practice material acts. He didn't eat or drink. He didn't become the water in wine. He energized the water and attributed to it perfume and taste of wine. It was a fluidic wine. In this wine only the water was material. There was no alcohol in this wine. Mary said to do his will. Do we ever do the will of Jesus? Don't we abuse when we drink? The marriage begins with the first copulation, or coitus or sexual relation. None is forced to marry, it means, to have sexual relation with another. "1 – no marriage can be legally contracted without full and free acquiescence of the parts both, this approval must be expressed by these persons personally, after the due publicity, before the competent authority to celebrate the marriage and witnesses, according to the law." (International Convention for Acquiescence to Marriage, Minimum Age for Marriage and Registry of Marriage adopted by General Assembly of United Nations). XVI – Jesus removes obsessing Spirits   23 And Jesus covered all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all diseases and all sickness among the people. 24 And the report of him went to all Syria: and they brought to him all that were sick, with many diseases and torments, possessed with imperfect spirits (demons), and epileptic, and paralytic; and he healed them. (Matthew, IV, 23-24). 21 And they go into Capernaum; and just on the saturday he entered into the synagogue and taught. 22 And they were astonished at his teaching: Because he taught them as having authority, and not as the scribes. 23 And there was in their synagogue a man with an imperfect spirit; and he cried out: 24 What have we to do with you, Jesus the Nazarene? Did you come to destroy us? I know who you are, the Holy (pure in hebraic) One of God! 25 And Jesus reprehended him: Shut up and get out of him. 26 And the imperfect spirit, shaking him and crying with a loud voice, came out of him. 27 And they were all amazed, and they questioned among themselves, saying: What is this? A new doctrine! With authority he commanded even the imperfect spirits, and they obey him. 28 And the report of him went out everywhere into all the region of Galilee round about. 29 And when they went out of the synagogue, and came into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John. (Mark, I, 21-29). 33 And in the synagogue there was a man, that had a spirit of an imperfect demon; and he cried out with a loud voice, 34 Ah! What do we have to do with you: Jesus the Nazarene? Did you come to destroy us? I know who you are: the Holy (pure) One of God. 35 And Jesus reprehended him: Shut up and get out of him. And when the demon had thrown him down in the middle, he came out of him, having done him no hurt. 36 And amazement came upon all, and they spoke together, one with another, saying: What is this word? Because with authority and power he commanded the imperfect spirits, and they got out. 37 And there was a rumor concerning him into every place of the region round about. (Luke, IV, 33-37). 23. Jesus talked to the imperfect spirits (obsessing spirits) and he cured the mediums perturbed by them. "If demons existed, they would be the work of God; but would it he just on the part of God to have created beings condemned eternally to evil and to unhappiness? If demons exist, it is in your low world, and in other worlds of similar degree, where they live. They are the human hypocrites who represent a just God as being cruel and revengeful, and who imagine that they make themselves agreeable to Him by the abominations they commit in His name." (131 of SB). "Why do imperfect spirits stimulate us to evil? To make you suffer as they do themselves." (465 of SB). "Evil spirits always come to aid you in doing the evil you desire to do; they can only help you to do wrong when you give way to evil desires." (466 of SB). Every evil we do attracts demons who will obsess us. "Can we free ourselves from the influence of the spirits who incite us to evil? Yes; because they only attach themselves to those who attract them by the evil nature of their thoughts and desires." (467 of SB). The possession "is never done without the participation of this who suffers it , through his weakness or his desire." (474 of SB). "You can always shake off a yoke if you want willingly." (475 of SB). "The good man is able to drive imperfect spirits away, and over good ones to draw them nearer. But, even the best men would be powerless if the subjugated person doesn't make himself efforts to become better, because there are persons who take delight in a state of dependence which exalts their depraved tastes and desires." (476 of SB). "You have things enough to think about that concern you much more nearly, beginning with yourselves. Study your own imperfections, that you may get rid of them;" (14 of SB). "Prayer is a mighty succor in everything; but you must believe well that it is not enough to mutter any words to obtain what you desire. God helps those who proceed, but not those who limit their action to asking for help. It is therefore necessary for the person obsessed to do his maximum to cure himself of the defects which attract evil spirits to him." (479 of SB). "What is to be thought of the casting out of devils, spoken of in the Gospels? That depends on the meaning you attach to the word devil. If you mean by that term a bad spirit who subjugates a human being, it is evident that, when his influence is destroyed, he will really be driven away. If you attribute a malady to the devil, you may say, when you have cured the malady, that you have driven the devil away." (480 of SB). Many times the obsession, which is a spiritual disease, may extend until causes a physic or somatic disease: “We have often encountered cases of possession, epilepsy or madness, demanding rather medicine than exorcism.” (474 do LE). The longer the obsession, the bigger the probability of becoming the spiritual disease in somatic disease, the more maleficent effects will happen in the organism of the obsessed. The obsession is a psychic illness which can turn a psychosomatic sickness and, after exorcism, only somatic. “It is what Jesus taught us in the sublime prayer: dominical Oration, when He makes us say: 'Don't allow us to succumb to the temptation, but liberate us of the evil.Æ. This theory about the exciting cause of our acts proves the evident competence of all the teaching of the Spirits; it is not just of sublime morality, but we add that he raises the man to his own eyes; this theory shows that he is free to shake off the yoke of an obsessing spirit, just as he is free to close his house to the annoying people . (872 of SB). “The house is inviolable asylum of the individual, none can penetrate in there without the consent of the resident,” (article 5ŗ, XI, of the brazilian Constitution). 9 When you are come into the land which the Lord your God gave to you, you will not learn to do the abominations of those nations. 10 There will not be found with you any one that makes his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, one that uses soothsaying, one that practises augury, or an enchanter, or a witch doctor, 11 or a charmer, or a consulter with a familiar spirit, or a wizard, or a necromancer. 12 Because whosoever does these things is an abomination to the Lord: and because of these abominations the Lord your God does drive them out from before you. 13 You will be perfect like the Lord your God. (Deuteronomy, XVIII, 9-13). 5 And that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams will be dead , because he has spoken rebellion against the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed you out of the house of servitude, to put you out of the way which the Lord your God commanded you to walk in. So you will put away the evil from the middle of you . (Deuteronomy, XIII, 5). 24. The prophet Daniel, Joseph and Mary consulted dreams; so what? Magician like Mister M, David Blane e David Coperfield doesn't harm anyone. Do not to talk to the obsessing spirit may obstruct that he is removed of the obsessed medium. The punishment for the one who talked to spirits of the dead men was the death. 37 And his fame was running into every place of the region round about. 38 And he left the synagogue, and entered into the house of Simon. And Simon's mother-in-law was sick with a great fever; and they asked him for her. 39 And he stood over her, and reprehended the fever ; and it left her: and immediately she rose up and served them. 40 And when the sun was setting, all they that had any sick with divers diseases brought them to him; and he laid his hands on every one of them, and healed them. 41 And demons also came out from many, crying out, and saying: You are the Son of God! And reprehending them not to speak, because they knew that he was the Christ. 42 And when it was day, he came out and went into a desert place: and the multitudes looked for him, and came to him, and asked him to stay. 43 But he said to them: I must preach the good news of the kingdom of God to the other cities also: because I was sent for that. 44 And he was preaching in the synagogues of Galilee. (Luke, IV, 37-44). 29 And when they were gone to the synagogue, they came into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John. 30 Simon's mother-in-law was sick of a fever; and they told him of her: 31 and he came and took her by the hand, and raised her up; and the fever left her, and she served them. 32 And at even, when the sun did set, they brought to him all that were sick, and them that were possessed with demons. 33 And all the city was rejoined altogether at the door. 34 And he healed many that were sick with different diseases, and cast out many demons; and he prohibited the demons to speak, because they knew him. 35 And in the morning, a great while before day, he rose up and went out, and went to a desert place, and there prayed. 36 And Simon and they that were with him looked for him; 37 and they met him, and say to him: All are seeking you. 38 And he said to them: Let us go elsewhere to the next towns, which I may preach there also; because I came to this end. 39 And he went to their synagogues throughout all Galilee, preaching and casting out demons. (Mark, I, 29-39). 14 And when Jesus entered into Peter's house, he saw his mother-in-law lying sick of a fever. 15 And he touched her hand, and the fever left her; and she arose, and served him. 16 And when it was evening, they brought to him many possessed with demons: and he cast out the spirits with the word, and healed all that were sick: 17 that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through Isaiah the prophet: He took over him our illness, and carried our sickness. (Matthew, VIII, 14-17). 4 Surely he has taken over him our pains, and carried our sorrows; though we thought he was troubled, wounded of God, and oppressed. (Isaiah, LIII, 4). 25. Jesus reprehended the fever, because it was an obsession. Peter's mother-in-law had an obsessing spirit who for his imperfections felt diseases of the time when he was incarnated and he was transmitting this sensations to the obsessed. "If you attribute a malady to the devil, you may say, when you have cured the malady, that you have driven the devil away." (480 of SB). The obsession is a malady very common, because ever we do the evil, or we think harm, or we wish the bad to someone, we are opening our doors to the admission of the demons. XVII – The teaching at the mountain – The Beatitudes   24 And his fame ran into all Syria: and they brought to him all that were sick, with different diseases and torments, possessed with demons, and epileptic, and paralytics; and he healed them. 25 And great multitudes followed him from Galilee and Decapolis and Jerusalem and Judaea and from beyond the Jordan. 1 And seeing the multitudes, he went up to the mountain; and when he had sat down, his disciples came to him: 2 and he opened his mouth and taught them, saying: 3 Well-beatified are the meek spirit: because theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 4 Well-beatified are weepers: because they will be consoled. 5 Well-beatified are the peaceful spirits: because they will inherit the ground. 6 Well-beatified are the hungry and thirst of justice: because they will be satisfied. 7 Well-beatified are the clement ones: because they will be forgiven. 8 Well-beatified are the pure of heart: because they will see God. 9 Well-beatified are the peacemakers: because they will be called sons of God. 10 Well-beatified are the persecuted for justice: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 11 Well-beatified you are when, because of me, you will be injured and pursued, and, lying, someone denounce you. 12 Rejoice, and be very happy: because great is your reward in heaven, just like you the prophets were pursued by your ancestor. (Matthew, IV, 24 a V, 12). 17 and he came down with them, and stood on a level place, and a great multitude of his disciples, and a great number of the people from all Judaea and Jerusalem, and the sea coast of Tyre and Sidon, 18 who came to hear him, and to be healed of their diseases; and they that were troubled with unclean spirits were healed. 19 And the entire multitude sought to touch him; because power emanated from him, and healed them all. 20 And he lifted up his eyes on his disciples, and said: Well-beatified are the pauper: because yours is the kingdom of God. 21 Well-beatified are the ones who are hungry now: because you will be glutton. Well-beatified are you that weep now: because you will laugh. 22 Well-beatified are you when men will hate you, and when they will expel you from their partnership, and injure you, and cast out your name as unworthy, because of the Son of Man. 23 Rejoice in that day, and be very happy; because your reward is great in heaven; because your fathers did the same to the prophets. 24 But ouch! of you that are rich! Because you got your consolation. 25 Ouch! of you that are glutton! Because you will be hungry. Ouch! of you that laugh now! Because you will weep and sorrow. 26 Ouch! of you, when all men will speak well of you! Because your fathers did the same to the false prophets. (Luke, VI, 17-26). 26. Jesus wants that we are modest, moderate. He wants that we are peaceful to conquer ground. "When his mind will no longer be obscured by matter, and when, by his perfection, he will be approached to God, be will see and comprehend Him." (11 of SB); "Everything is openly especially so to the perfect ones. They may withdraw from one another, but they are always visible to each other. This, however, is not an absolute rule, for the higher spirits are perfectly able to turn themselves invisible to the lower ones, when they consider it to he useful to do so." (283 of SB). The more pure the spirit, better his abilities to see the others. The kingdom of heaven is for all, because the spirit is eternal. Disembodied, even the very bad go to the doorpost (Hades or the flames of the spiritists) which is placed on the skies. "God imposes the incarnation to the goal (end) of making you get the perfection. For some of them it is an expiation; for others, a mission. In order to attain perfection, they must suffer all the vicissitudes of corporeal existence ." (132 of SB). "Why has God given richness and power to some, and poverty to others? In order to try them in different ways. Moreover, as you know, the spirits themselves who have selected those trials, under which they often succumb." (814 of SB). "You, yourself, have chosen your trial; the rougher it is, and the better you support it, the higher you do raise yourself. Those who pass their lives in the enjoyment of plenty and human pleasure are cowardly spirits who remain stationary. Thus the number of those who are unfortunate is much greater, in your world, than of those who are fortunate, because spirits generally make choice of the trial that will be most useful to them. They see too clearly the futility of your grandeurs and your delights. Besides, the most fortunate life is always agitated, always troubled, it wouldn't be like that by the absence of pain." (866 of SB). "You must remember that what appears to you to be a harm is not always such; often from the harm will emerge a good greater than the seeming evil." (532 of SB). "What appears to be harmful to you, from your narrow point of view, and in relation to your temporary life on the earth, is often a great good in relation to the general order of the universe." (663 of SB). "The excess of evil is required to show you the necessity of good and of reformations." (784 of SB). "Can spirits make us obtain for us the gifts of fortune, if we ask them to do so? Yes, like test, as a trial for you. But they often refuse such demands, as you refuse the imprudent demands of a child." (533 of SB). "Often the spirits that want to lead you to the evil who help you in becoming rich. These are easy means of doing this through the material pleasures procured by wealth." (533, a, of SB). "He who calls spirits to his aid, in order to obtain from them the gifts of fortune or any other favor, rebels against Providence." (...) "Through his love in material pleasures, he brings himself under the power of impure spirits." (550 of SB). "He who wins as a man loses as a spirit." (865 of SB). Besides, Jesus also talks to us about the law of action and reaction: "they will be reborn into an existence in which they will support all that they have made the others support." (807 of SB). “The bad rich man will become a beggar, and will be a prey to all the privations of poverty; the proud will undergo humiliations of every kind; he who has misused his authority, and treated his subordinates with disdain and hardness, will be forced to obey a master still harder than himself.” (983 of SB). "But you must remember that fortune is often a more dangerous trial than poverty." (925 of SB). "If they use their wealth only for themselves, they are selfish, and, in that case, a terrible reverse waits for them. Complain of them quickly. God sometimes permits the bad to prosper, but his prosperity is, not to be desired, because he will pay for it with bitter weeping and gnashing of teeth. If a righteous man undergoes unhappy, it is a trial which will be counted if he supports it bravely. Remember the words of Jesus: 'Well-beatified are sufferers: because they will be consoled." (926 of SB). 22 The lamp of the body is the eyes: if your eye is good, your whole body will be full of light. 23 But if your eye is evil, your whole body will be full of darkness. Therefore the light that is in your are darkness, how great is the darkness! (Matthew, VI, 22-23). 13 You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt have lost its taste, with what will we salt? It is good for nothing, but to be cast out and trodden under foot of men. 14 You are the light of the world. A city set on a mount cannot be hid. 15 Neither do men light a lamp, and put it under the fuel, but on the candelabrum; and it shines to all that are in the house. 16 Even so let your light shine before men; that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven. (Matthew, V, 13-16). 34 Salt is surely good; but if even the salt have lost its taste, how its flavor can be reestablished? 35 It is fit neither for the land nor for the garbage: men cast it out. The one who has ears to hear, let him hear. (Luke, XIV, 34-35). 26 Do not fear them: because there is nothing hidden, that will not be discovered; and occult, that will not be known. 27 What I tell you in the darkness, speak you in the light; and what you hear in the ear, proclaim upon the roof. (Matthew, X, 26-27). 16 None when he has lighted a lamp, covers it with a vase, or puts it under a bed; but puts it on a candelabrum, so they that enter in see the light. 17 Nothing is occult, that will not be shown; nor anything secret that will not be known and come to light. 18 Pay attention in the way you listen to, because who has, to him it will be given; and who doesn't have, from him it will be taken away even that which he thought he had. (Luke, VIII, 16-18). 21 He said to them: Is the lamp brought to be put under the fuel, or under the bed, and not to be put on the candelabrum? 22 There is nothing hidden save to be manifested; neither was anything made secret, but that it will come to light. (Mark, IV, 21-22). 12 Again Jesus spoke to them: I am the light of the world: he that follows me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the light of life. (John, VIII, 12). 27. Jesus doesn't want that we are indifferent to life. He wants that our life is tasty. "The welfare is a natural desire. God only prohibits abuse, because abuse is contrary to conservation; he has not made it a crime to seek after welfare, if that welfare is not acquired at another's expense, and if it doesn't weaken either your moral or your physical power." (719 of SB). We must to pass through all the good trials to learn. We must have love to the life well lived. "The Spirit is a flame, a brightness or a pure spark." (88 of SB). "For you the color of the flame varies from darkness to the brilliance of the ruby, if he is less or more pure." (88, a, of SB). Our perispirits (or psychosomas) are made of electrons (fluid or electric, magnetic or nervous current that goes through our neurones) and light photons. We are beings of light. "The spirit is reflected in the body; and although the body is only matter, it is modeled on the capacities of the spirit, which impresses upon it a certain character that is more particularly visible in the appearance, and it is truly that we designate that the eyes are the mirror of the soul; that is to say, that the appearance properly reflects the soul." (217 of SB). If we are good we will never have diseases, but if we accumulate hates, revenges, bruises, resentments, self-love (egoism), greediness, avarice, covetousness, jealousy, vices and defects in our hearts we will be printing maladies in our body. "The good are often timid. When these will want to take upon on themselves, they will." (932 of SB). He doesn't want us to be timid. He wants that we show our worth, our authority. We need to teach everything we have to teach. "The sight of the Spirits penetrates what yours cannot penetrate: nothing obscures it." (248 of SB). "Neither acts nor thoughts can be hidden from them." (457 of SB). "Do not think to hide anything from the guardian angels, for they have the eye of God." (495 of SB). We don't have private life. Spirits can observe everything we do and even think. Jesus doesn't want anything to be done furtively. Everything is public of the knowledge of everyone. 17 Do not think that I came to destroy the law or the prophets: I did not come to destroy, but to fulfil. 18 Truly I say to you: Till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will never pass away from the law, till all things be fulfilled. 19 Who will break one of these least commandments, and will teach men so, will be called least in the kingdom of heaven: but who will do and teach them, he will be called great in the kingdom of heaven. 20 Because I say to you: if your justice will not exceed a lot the justice of the scribes and pharisees, you will never enter into the kingdom of heaven. (Matthew, V, 17-20). 17 But it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away, than for one tittle of the law to fall. (Luke, XVI, 17). 28. Jesus came to fulfil the divine or natural law. "The law of nature is the law of God. It is the only true rule that ensures the happiness of man, for it shows him what he must or must not do, and he is unhappy because he disobeys it." (614 of SB). "All the laws of nature are divine laws, since God is the author of all things. The scientist studies the laws of matter; the good man (good spirit) studies the laws of the soul, and practises them." (617 of SB). Jesus didn't come to modify the prophets. He doesn't aspire to change the texts of the Bible, although there are bad examples. He wants that everything that was prophesied fulfils. But, the one who violates the commandments of the Old Testament will be considered the least, the meekest in the kingdom of heaven. So Jesus came to bring us commandments much better than those obsolete ones. He doesn't want that we are great, proud, superb and pedant. He wants that we are meek, the least, the minimum. 13 You will not kill. (Exodus, XX, 13). 17 You will not kill. (Deuteronomy, V, 17). 21 You heard that it was said to the elders: You will not kill; and who kill will be in danger of the judgment: 22 but I say to you: Everyone, without cause, who is angry with his brother will be in danger of the judgment; and who insult his brother will be in danger of the court; and who say: You are fool, will be in danger of the flames. (Matthew, V, 21-22). 4 And he received it at their hand, and fashioned it with a graving tool, and made it a molten calf: and they said: These are your gods, oh! Israel, which brought you out of the land of Egypt. 5 And when Aaron saw this, he built an altar before it; and Aaron made proclamation, and said: Tomorrow will be a feast to the Lord. 6 And they rose up early on the morning, and offered burnt offerings, and brought peace offerings; and the people sat down to eat and to drink, and rose up to play. (Exodus, XXXII, 4-6). 25 And when Moses saw that the people were nude , because Aaron had let them nude to shame them among their enemies, 26 then Moses stood in the gate of the camp, and said: Who is on Lord's side, let him come to me. And all the sons of Levi gathered themselves together to him. 27 And he said to them: Thus said the Lord, the God of Israel: Put your sword upon the side of each man , and go to and from gate to gate throughout the camp, and each man kills his brother , and each man his friend, and each man his neighbor . 28 And the sons of Levi did according to the word of Moses: and about three thousand men of the people fell down that day. (Exodus, XXXII, 25-28). 2 I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. 3 You will have no other gods before me. 4 You will not make to you a sculpture, nor any likeness of anything that is above on the skies, neither down over ground, or that is in the water underground: 5 you will not kneel before them, nor serve them; because I, the Lord, your God am a zealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, until the third and the fourth generation of them that hate me, (Exodus, XX, 2-5). 29. Moses ordered to kill because he was executing the law of destruction: "Will the necessity of destruction always exist for the men over ground? The need of destruction diminishes in man in proportion as his spirit obtains ascendancy over matter. Consequently, you see that intellectual and moral development is always accompanied by a horror of destruction." (733 of SB). Jesus doesn't want that we kill like Moses did to punish those who made sculptures. He doesn't want that we have anger neither hate in our heart. We must not to be angry neither insult our neighbor. 15 If your brother sin against you, go and argue his fault between you and him alone. If he hear you, you gained your brother. 16 But if he doesn't hear you, take with you one or two more, that at the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established. 17 And if he refuses to hear them, tell it to the assembly; and if he also refuses to hear the assembly, consider him as a foreigner and a publican. (Matthew, XVIII, 15-17). 26 Therefore do not fear them: for there is nothing covered, that will not be revealed; and hid, that will not be known. 27 What I tell you in the darkness, speak you in the light; and what you hear in the ear, proclaim upon the roofs. (Matthew, X, 26-27). 2 But there is nothing covered up, that will not be revealed; and hid, that will not be known. 3 Everything you say in the darkness will be heard in the light; and what you have spoken in the ear in the cabinet will be proclaimed upon the roofs. (Luke, XII, 2-3). 23 If you are offering your gift at the altar, and there remember that your brother has something against you, 24 leave there your gift before the altar, and go first to be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift. 25 Make an agreement with your adversary quickly, while you are with him in the way; for the adversary doesn't deliver you to the judge, and the judge deliver you to the officer, and you are arrested in prison . 26 Truly I say to you: You will get out, till you have paid the last cent. (Matthew, V, 23-26). 54 And he also said to the multitudes: When you see a cloud rising in the west, so you say: There comes rain; and so it happens. 55 And when you see a south wind blowing, you say: There will be a heat; and it happens. 56 Hypocrites, you know how to interpret the face of the earth and the heaven; but how is it that you do not know how to interpret this time? 57 And why don't you judge yourselves what is right? 58 When you are going with your adversary before the magistrate, give diligence to be quit of him on the way; for he doesn't drive you to the judge, and the judge will deliver you to the officer, and the officer will throw you into prison . 59 I say to you, you will not go out from there, till you have paid the very last cent. (Luke, XII, 54-59). 1 God assists in the assembly of God; He judges among the gods. 2 How long will you judge unjustly, and respect the persons of the unfaithful ones? 3 Judge the weak ones and orphans: Do justice to the afflicted and abandoned ones. 4 Save the weak and needy one: Deliver them out of the hand of the unfaithful ones. 5 They know nothing, neither they understand; they walk in darkness: All the foundations of the earth are shaken. 6 I said: You are gods, all of you are sons of the Most High. 7 But you will die like men, and you will succumb like any of the princes. 8 Arise, oh! God, judge the earth; because you will inherit all the nations. (Psalm LXXXII). 1 In that occasion some people told him about the galilaeans, whose blood Pilate had blended with their sacrifices. 2 And he answered to them: Do you think these galilaeans were sinners above all the galilaeans, because they have suffered these things? 3 I tell you no: But, if you do not regret, you will all perish in the same way. 4 Or those eighteen, upon whom the tower in Siloam fell, and killed them, think you that they were guiltier above all the men that lived in Jerusalem? 5 I tell you, no: But, except you sorrow, you will all perish in the same way. (Luke, XIII, 1-5). 30. "In your sphere, where so many do not to practise the law of justice, each one uses retaliation, and this causes trouble and confusion in human society. Social life gives rights and imposes reciprocal duties." (877 of SB). Jesus does not want us to make justice with our own hands. We must not to use personal retaliation. We must show to the society the crimes, which are practised against us, for the society judge and make justice. Never us. “We can say in general thesis each one is punished for what he has sinned .” (Allan Kardec, 973 of SB). If we practise some crime against our brother, we must run after him in order to apologize. We must regret of our sins. None is free of the Justice of God. 14 You will not commit adultery. (Exodus, XX, 14). 27 You have heard that it was said: You will not commit adultery: 28 but I say to you, the one that looks to a woman and desires her, has already committed adultery with her in one's heart. (Matthew, V, 27-28). 31. "Polygamy is a human institution whose abolition marks a social progress. Marriage, according to the intention of God, must be founded on the affection of the beings who enter into it. In polygamy there is no real affection; there is only sensuality." (701 of SB). The simple and ignorant spirit pairs only for sensuality. Later his sensuality diminishes and he joins in marriage one single woman. More developed he unites for affection. The man improves himself and creates love: "Love each other;' such is the divine law by which God governs all the worlds of the universe. Love is the law of attraction for living and organized beings; attraction is the law of love for inorganic matter." (Saint Vincent de Paul, 888, a, of SB). Moses prohibited us to adulterate in flesh because of our jealousy which make us hate the adulterer; besides, our abuse of flesh allow us to contract diseases transmissible by Sex like AIDS. The sensuality makes us desire ardently the single or married woman is characteristic of our own imperfections, of our materiality. We must forgive adultery. Who is the man who has never carried sensuality in his heart? Who is the one which can condemn the adulteress and through stones on her? One day we will be free of sensuality. Until there we must forgive and be merciful. "He who professes to worship Christ, and who is proud, envious, and jealous, who is hard and implacable to others, or ambitious of the goods of this sphere, is religious with the lips only, and not with the heart.” (654 of SB). 29 And if your right eye scandalizes you, pluck it out, and cast it from you: for it is profitable for you that one of your members perish, and not your whole body be cast into hell. 30 And if your right hand scandalizes you, cut it off, and cast it from you: for it is profitable for you that one of your members perish, and not your whole body go into hell. (Matthew, V, 29-30). 22 The lamp of the body is the eye: if your eyes are good, your whole body will be full of light. 23 But if your eyes are evil, your whole body will be full of darkness. If the light that is in you is darkness, how great is the darkness! (Matthew, VI, 22-23). 33 None, after lightening a lamp, puts it in a cellar, neither under the fuel, but on the candelabrum, that they which enter in may see the light. 34 The lamp of your body is your eye: when your eye is good, your whole body is also full of light; but when it is evil, your body also is full of darkness. 35 Look so whether the light that is in you is not darkness. 36 If your whole body is full of light, having no part dark, it will be wholly resplendent, as the lamp when it shines with its bright light. (Luke, XI, 33-36). 32. When you see the sensuality of others, does your eye scandalize you? Or are the others who scandalize you, not your eye? I don't believe you will cut out your eye because of other's scandal. You must have got a good eye and forgive. Did your hand active the sensuality of your body? Did it scandalize you? Didn't it?! Be merciful. Forgive yourself and don't cut out your hand. "Before reproaching others with their imperfections, you would see whether we can't say about you the same things. Work in having the qualities opposite to the defects that you criticize in others, that is the way to you render superior. Does he reproach you to be avaricious? Be generous. To be proud? Be humble and modest. To be hard? Be soft. To act with lowness? Be great in all you do. In a word, act in such a way as that it may not to be said of you, in the words of Jesus, that you 'see the mote in your brother's eye, but do not see the goal post in your own.” (903 of SB). Make go out of your own eyes a merciful jet of light. Don't make a frown. Smile. Let everybody see the light emanating from your eyes. The nature doesn't jump over. The sensuality of the people must diminish gradually. 31 It was also said: Who put away his wife, will give her a writing of divorcement. 32 But I say to you, that every one that puts away his wife, except for the cause of prostitution, facilitates her to turn an adulteress: and who will marry her will commit adultery. (Matthew, V, 31-32). 33. "Is the absolute indissolubility of marriage to be found in the law of nature, or is it only an ordination of human law? It is a human law, very contrary to the law of nature. But men may change their laws; those of nature are alone unchangeable." (697 of SB). Jesus never prohibited the moral adultery. He gives us the free will to do the good or the bad. We had and will have thousands of reincarnations and we will be able to marry a different mate in each one. We can practise the moral adultery, but we can't abuse of sensuality. The abuse of sensuality, as all which is of the flesh, has consequences and punishments. "Is it true that the souls of those who will eventually be united are predestined to this union from their beginning, and that each of us has thus, in some part of the universe, his other half, to whom he will some day be necessarily reunited? No, there is no such thing as any special and fated union between any two souls." (298 of SB). The moral adultery that we must practise is the law of love for all the creatures. God created sex. So it is good, in the exact measure of our materiality, but we must use it parsimoniously, without abuse. 16 You will not witness falsely against your neighbor. (Exodus, XX, 16). 33 You also have heard that it was said to the ancestors: You will not witness falsely, but you will fulfill strictly your oaths to the Lord. 34 But I say to you: Swear not at all; neither by the heaven, for it is the throne of God; 35 nor by the ground, for it is the footstool of his feet; nor by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King. 36 Neither will you swear by your head, because your black hair may become white. 37 But let your speech be: Yes, yes; no, no: and more than these is of the evil one. (Matthew, V, 33-37). 34. Jesus doesn't want that we injure our neighbor, witnessing lying against him, defaming him. We must bear witness impartial of the truth that we know without making judgements. The witness must not to judge. Must say: Yes, I saw such thing; no, I didn't heard. That is all. “ There is more real greatness and honour in confessing guilty if there is an injustice , or in forgiving if we are in the right and, in all cases, in despising insults which cannot hit us.” (Allan Kardec, 759, a, of SB). 24 eye for eye, tooth for tooth , hand for hand, foot for foot, 25 burning for burning, wound for wound, coup for coup. (Exodus, XXI, 24-25). 15 You will not steal. (Exodus, XX, 15). 19 Neither you will steal. (Deuteronomy, V, 19). 38 You have heard that it was said: An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth. 39 But I say to you: Do not resist to do the evil ; but if someone slap you on your right cheek, turn to him the other also. 40 And if any man litigate with you, and take away your coat, let him have also your cape. 41 And if someone obliges you to go one mile, go with him two. 42 Give to him that asks for you and don't turn your back to the one who wants to borrow from you. (Matthew, V, 38-42). 29 To him that hits you on the one cheek offer also the other; and if someone takes away your cape, let he take also your coat. 30 Give to every one that asks for you; and if someone takes away your goods, don't sue for it. (Luke, VI, 29-30). 34 And if you lend to them of whom you hope to receive, what is your reward? Even sinners lend to sinners, to receive again as much. (Luke, VI, 34). 35. Jesus preaches the resignation and no-violence. Give your face to be stricken. Fort is not the one who punches more people, but the one who sustains more humiliations: the most modest. If the thief takes away your watch, give also your warm clothing to him. If the thief hits you, don't complain, be quiet; cause if you complain, he will beat you. If you don't do it for love to him, do it for that he will not use more violence against you. If someone wants to lament his troubles to you, listen to all and pay attention, maybe you can help him? Jesus doesn't expect that you become a usurer banker of material money. Be a creditor of the law of God. If somebody harms you, forgive and acquire a faith before the Lord. Give good moral advices of the treasure of your heart. If you give a fish, it will be consumed; but if you teach to fish, the fisherman will never be hungry again. Remember: everything has a cause. We made the evil in the past. 43 You have heard that it was said: You will love your neighbor, and hate your enemy: 44 But I say to you: Love your enemies, and pray for them that persecute you; 45 that you become sons of your Father who is in heaven; because he makes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the just and the unjust. 46 If you love them that love you, what reward do you have? Do not the publicans also do the same? 47 And if you greet your brothers only, what do you more than others? Do not the foreigners do the same too? 48 You will be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect. (Matthew, V, 43-48). 13 You will be perfect, as the Lord, your God. (Deuteronomy, XVIII, 13). 40 The disciple is not above his Master: but every one who he is perfect will be as his Master. (Luke, VI, 40). 27 But I say to you that hear: Love your enemies, do good to them that hate you, 28 praise them that defame you, pray for them that calumniate you. (Luke, VI, 27-28). 32 If you love them that love you, what is your reward? Even sinners love those that love them. 33 If you do good to them that do good to you, what is your merit? Even sinners do the same. (Luke, VI, 32-33). 35 Love your enemies, and do good for them, and lend, never expecting devolution; and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High. Cause he is kind to the ingrate and bad. 36 Be merciful, as your Father is merciful. (Luke, VI, 35-36). 36. “Everything tends to the same goal (end); and God has made His laws for the whole world. You often say: The sun shines for all, and, in saying this, you speak a truth greater, and more general than you can.” (803 of SB). "Good actions are the best prayers, because acts are more worth than words." (661 of SB). "The spirit of him who prays acts for his volition to do good. By prayer, he attracts to himself good spirits who associates with him in the good he wants to do." (662 of SB). "To pray for others is an act of our will. If our will is ardent and sincere, it calls good spirits to the aid of the party prayed for, and thus helps him by the suggestion of good thoughts" (Allan Kardec, 662 of SB). "By your prayer, you excite him to repentance, and to the desire of doing all that in him lies to become happy." (664 of SB). "The merit of virtuous action depends on the difficulty involved in it; it would there be no merit in doing right without pain and when it doesn't cost anything." (646 of SB). We must pray for our incarnated and disembodied enemies (disaffections): the obsessing Spirits (demons). "We can pray for them and repaying to them the good for the evil, they will finish understanding their injustice. And, if we remain set above their machinations, they stop because they see they gain nothing." (531, a, of SB). "Jesus has also said: Love even your enemies . But would it not be contrary to our natural tendencies, and does not enmity proceed from a lack of sympathy between spirits? Surely we can't feel tender and passionate love for our enemies; that is not what Jesus said. To 'love your enemies' means their pardon, and they will return good for evil. So we deviated them higher, during the revenge we place ourselves below them." (887 of SB). The prayer that "you address for a suffering spirit for whom you feel affection or compassion, is accepted by him as a testimony of remembrance that never fails to bring relief and consolation to the sufferer. If he manifests the slightest sign of repentance; but only then; help is sent to him. But he is never allowed to remain in ignorance that a sympathizing heart took care of him, and, is always remaining a sweet thought that this friendly intercession has been useful to him. Thus your intervention necessarily induces a feeling of gratitude and affection, on his part, to the friend who has given him this proof of kindness and of pity; consequently the love among men recommended by Christ will be increased between them. They will thus have obeyed the law of love and union imposed on all the beings of the universe; the Divine Law must drive to the unity (union): the aim and end of the Spirit." (665 of SB). God ís unique and we will be supremely perfect in the unity of God one day. It is necessary to pay attention to the opinion of our enemies: souls and spirits: “Endeavor also to learn what is thought by others; and do not despise the opinion of your enemies, for they have no interest in dissimulating the truth, and God often places them beside you as a mirror, to warn you more frankly than it would be done by a friend.” (Saint Augustine, 919 of SB)”. We need to know our imperfections through our enemies to get free of our impurities. 1 Avoid making justice before men, to be seen by them: you will have no reward with your Father who is in heaven. 2 When so you do alms, do not sound a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, for their glory before men. Truly I say to you: They have received their reward. 3 But when you do alms, let not your left hand know what your right hand does; 4 for your alms are in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will recompense you. (Matthew, VI, 1-4). 37 Now as he spoke, a pharisee asked him to eat with him; and he went in, and sat down at the table. 38 And when the pharisee saw it, he marveled that he had not first washed himself before eating. 39 And the Lord said to him: You, the pharisees, clean the outside of the cup and of the dish; but your inside is full of prey and perversity. 40 Foolish ones! Didn't he that made the outside made the inside also? 41 But give for alms those things, which you do have ; and all things are clean to you. (Luke, XI, 37-41). 10 No knapsack for your path, neither two coats, nor sandals, nor walking stick; because the laborer is dignified by the work which pays his food . (Matthew, X, 10). 8 neither we did eat bread at the cost of other, but in labor and fatigue, working night and day, for that we are not heavy to any of you: 9 not because we have not the right, but to make ourselves an example to you, that you would imitate us. 10 Because even when we were with you, this we commanded you: If someone don't want to work, neither he will eat . 11 Cause we hear of some that walk among you disorderly, that work not at all, but they interfere in others life. 12 We command and exhort them in the Lord Jesus Christ, that with quietness they work, and eat their own bread. (II Thessalonians, III, 8-12). 37. Jesus accepted the material alms of the pharisee. But this humiliated Him. Then Jesus said that we must firstly give the moral alms, the teaching that will be kept for infinite reincarnations. "Instead of despising the ignorance and the vice, instruct them, and moralize them. Be sweet and kind to all your inferiors. Be the same to the lowermost beings of the creation; and you will have obeyed the law of God." (Saint Vincent de Paul, 888, a, of SB). "If a good moral education had taught them to practise the law of God, they would not have fallen into the excesses which have caused their downfall." (889 of SB). The little coin or the dish of soup will consume and disappear. What we do have is different of what we retain. We have our knowledge, but we retain only material goods, because we will not take a cheap cent to the kingdom of heaven. "The only sufferings that can elevate you are those which come upon you naturally, because they are inflicted by God." (726 of SB). The suffering of the indigent will make he elevate himself. The suffering is for our progress. "The strong must work for the weak; if he has no family , society must supply its place. Such is the law of charity." (685, a, of SB). "Alimony are a obligation when the relative, which intend it, has no assets, neither can provide, by his work, his own maintenance, and the person, whom he complain, can supply it, without defalcation of the necessary to his own maintenance." (article 399 of the Brazilian Civil Code ). The relative who doesn't pay alimony may be arrested until he pays (article 244 of the Brazilian Penal Code and article 5ŗ, LXVII, of the Brazilian Federal Constitution ). "The man reduced to beg alms decreases morally and physically; he becomes brutish. In a society based on the law of God and in the justice, the provision to the life of the weak must be made without humiliating. The society must assure the existence of them who can't work, without abandoning their life to the pity at random of willingly men." (888 of SB). "The social assistance will be paid to whom needs it, independently of contribution to the public social insurance, and it has for aims: (...) V – the guaranty of a minimum wage of monthly benefit to the person carrying a deficiency and to the elderly ones who prove they don't have means to provide their own maintenance or been provided by his family, according to the dispositions of the law." (article 203, caput and item V, of the Brazilian Federal Constitution ). The benefit (to residents in Brazil) must be petitioned by the elderly one or by the person who carries a physic or mental necessity to the National Brazilian Institute of Social Insurance. "Why don't they work for the good of their fellow men? Let them dress the indigent; let them comfort those who mourn; let them work for the patients; let them support hardships for relief of the unhappy ones and their life will be useful and delightful to God." (726 of SB). "The wise man, to be happy, looks to the low, never to the above, in order to raise his soul to the infinite." (923 of SB). "The healthfulness is right of all and duty of the nation," (article 196 of the Brazilian Federal Constitution ). It is directrix of the Brazilian Unique System of Healthfulness (SUS): "total rendering, with priority to the preventive activities, without detriment of the assistance services;" (article 198, II, of the Brazilian Federal Constitution ). "God always blesses those who do good; to help the pauper and afflicted is the best way of honouring Him." (673 of SB). "Alms, my friends, are useful sometimes because they can bring relief to those who are pauper. But this is almost always humiliating, not only for the giver but also for the receiver." (Carita, GAS, XIII, 14). "Jesus spoke principally of alms because in those days, in the country in which He lived, the kinds of work in the arts and industry in which riches could be usefully employed were not yet known. So then, to all who are able to give, be it much or little, I would say this: give money only when it is necessary, and then as often as possible convert it into wages so that the person who receives it is not ashamed." (Fenelon, GAS, XVI, 13). The work dignifies the man. "Every useful occupation is a work." (675 of SB). "A fortune is often sent to an individual for the sole purpose of giving him the opportunity of repairing an injustice." (809 do LE). "God is just; He condemns only him who is voluntarily useless; cause this lives on the work of others. He wants that each one will render useful according to his faculties." (680 of SB). "It competes to the Courts of Right to Work: a) conciliate and judge: (...) III – the dissidences resultant of contracts of piecework in what the laborer is operative or artificer;" (article 652, a, III, of the Brazilian Consolidation of the Rights of Work – CLT). "In case of services of professionals of any activity, exercised by individual or collective contract of piecework, with or without inspection of the other contracting part, the professional card will be annotated by his professional syndicate or by the legal representative of his cooperative." (article 34 of CLT). The civil societies could help their assisted frequenters to create cooperative societies of rendering service (brazilian federal law 5764/16.12.1971), when they can work. "True charity is always good and benevolent, such as in the manner or in the action. A service rendered with delicacy has a double price; but if rendered with haughtiness, the poverty will compel his reception, but the heart will not be touched. "Remember, also, that ostentation destroys, in the sight of God, the merit of good action. Jesus has said: 'Let not your left hand know what your right hand does;' he teaches you not do dirty charity with pride." (888, a, of SB). “We must never have the idea of allowing himself to die of hunger; a man could always find the means of obtaining food. Pride mustn't be interposed between necessity and work. We always said that: There is no foolish work; that is not the situation what shame on you; we say that for others, not for us.” (929 of SB). "Fortune is not given to anyone to be thrown with the wind, neither to others to be buried in a safe; it is a deposit of which they will have to render an account , for they will have to answer for all the good they might have done, and they didn't; for all the tears they have dried with the money they have wasted on those who had no necessity of it." (896 of SB). We must not give money to the one who doesn't need it, or to whom that wants to spend it with sins. The guilty one of this act is who received and the one who gave it too, cause it is like to take the food of the starving one to give it to the gluttonous one. 5 And when you pray, you will not be as the hypocrites: because they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Truly I say to you: They have received their reward. 6 But you, when you pray, enter into your bedroom, and having closed your door, pray to your Father who is in secret, and your Father who sees in secret will recompense you. 7 And in praying do not use mere repetitions, as the foreigners do: because they think that they will be heard for speaking a lot. 8 Do not be like to them: because your Father knows what things you have necessity of, before you ask him. 9 You will pray: Our Father, who are in heaven, your name is Holy (pure). 10 Your kingdom comes. Your will is done, as in earth, so on heaven. 11 Give us our daily bread today. 12 And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. 13 And do not let us succumb into temptation of doing the evil, but release us of the evil, for yours is the kingdom, the might and the glory forever . Amen! 14 Because if you forgive men their offenses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. 15 But if you do not forgive men their offenses, neither your Father will forgive your offenses. (Matthew, VI, 5-15). 18 Truly I say to you that everything you will tie on earth will be tied in heaven; and everything you will untie on earth will be untied in heaven. (Matthew, XVIII, 18). 1 Once Jesus was praying in a certain place; when he finished, one of his disciples said to him: Lord, teach us to pray, even as John also taught his disciples. 2 And he taught them: When you pray, say: Father, Holy (pure) is your name. Your kingdom comes. 3 Give us our daily bread day by day. 4 And forgive us our sins; because we ourselves also forgive every one that is indebted to us. And do not let us succumb into temptation of doing the evil. (Luke, XI, 1-4). 1 And he spoke a parable about the duty of praying without discouraging: 2 There was in a city a judge, who feared not God, and regarded not man. 3 There was also a widow in that city; and she came to him, saying: Judge my cause against my adversary. 4 And he would not for a while; but afterward he said within himself: Though I fear not God, nor regard man; 5 but because this widow troubles me, I will judge her demand, to stop that she continues to come to me. 6 And the Lord said: Hear what the unrighteous judge said. 7 And will not God judge his elects, that cry to him day and night, and though it appears he delays in defending them? 8 I say to you, that he will make justice quickly. But, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth? 9 And he spoke also this parable to certain who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised the others: 10 Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a pharisee, and the other a publican. 11 The pharisee stood and prayed with himself: God, I thank you, that I am not as the rest of men: thieves, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican. 12 I fast twice in the week; I give tithes of all that I get. 13 But the publican, standing far, would not lift up so much as his eyes to heaven, but hit his breast, saying: God, be merciful to me a sinner. 14 I say to you: This man went down justified to his house; not the other. Because every one that exalts himself will be humiliated; but he that humbles himself will be exalted. (Luke, XVIII, 1-14). 38. The adoration consists "In the elevation of the thought to God." (649 of SB). "Prayer is an act of adoration. To pray to God is to think of Him, to approach to Him, to put one's self in communication with Him." (659 of SB). "). “When you are in doubt, invoke your good Spirit, or pray to our Master (Lord) among all, God , that He sends you one of His messengers, the one of us ." (523 of SB). God "has His devoted agents at every step of the scale of spheres." (536, b, of SB). “In order to communicate directly with God, a spirit must have made himself worthy of such communication. God transmits His orders through spirits of higher degrees of perfection and knowledge.” (244, b, of SB). "It is these communications between each man and his familiar spirit that does make all men mediums." (495 of SB). "Every one that feels, in any degree, the influence of the spirits is, for this fact, medium." (Allan Kardec, MB, 2¬ part, XIV, item 159). "God prefers those who worship Him from the heart, with sincerity, and by doing what is good and avoiding what is evil, to those who have faith they honour Him by ceremonies" (654 of SB). "That who does the profession of worshiping the Christ , and who is proud, envious, and jealous, who is hard and implacable to others, or ambitious of the goods of this world, is religious with the lips only, and not with the heart." (654 of SB). The collective prayer is preferable: "When those who sympathize in thought and feeling are assembled together, they have more power to attract good Spirits to them. It is the same when they are assembled for worshipping God. But you must not therefore conclude that private worship is less good; for each man can worship God thinking in Him." (656 of SB). "Through prayer we can propose three things: to praise, to demand, and to acknowledge." (659 of SB). "The essential is not to pray for a long time, but to pray well. Such persons suppose that all the virtue of prayer is in its length, and shut their eyes to their own defects. Prayer, for them, is an occupation, a means of passing their time, but not a study of themselves . In such cases, it is not the remedy that is inefficacious, but the mode in which it is employed." (660, a, of SB). "Nevertheless, your just demands are deferred more often than you think." (663 of SB). ). God "suggests to you the necessary thought to you get yourselves out of your embarrassment." (663 of SB). "Prayer is a mighty succor in everything; but you must believe well that it is not enough to mutter any words to obtain what you desire. God helps those who act, but not those who limit their action in demanding. It is therefore necessary for the person obsessed to do his maximum to cure himself of the defects which attract evil spirits to him." (479 of SB). "The good actions are the best prayers, because acts are more worth than words." (661 of SB). "He who calls spirits to his aid, in order to obtain from them the gifts of fortune or any other favor, rebels against Providence." (550 of SB). The spirits make us conquer richness "often as a test, a trial." (533 of SB). The spirits who give it to you "are often the spirits that want to lead you to the evil. These are easy means of doing through the material pleasures procured by wealth." (533, a, of SB). "Those who executes material facts are always of an inferior order, at the home of spirits as the home of men." (538, a, of SB). "Through his love in material pleasures, he brings himself under the power of impure spirits." (550 of SB). Jesus has the might : "Because of this my Father loves me, because I give my life to get it back again. None takes it out of me, but I give it by myself. I have the might to give, and I have might to take it back. This commandment I received from my Father." (John, X, 17-18). "All might has been given to me in heaven and on earth." (Matthew, XXVIII, 18). Jesus has the kingdom : "My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I would not be delivered to the jews: but now my kingdom is not from here." (John, XVIII, 36). Jesus has the glory : "And I give them the glory which you gave to me; so they will be one, as we are one." (John, XVII, 22). One day we will be pure Spirits (Holy Spirits as Jesus and Gabriel and we will enter into the glory of God). The prayer of the Lord says that the name of God is Holy (pure). "You will be holy; because I, the Lord, your God, I am holy." (Leviticus, XIX, 2). "You will be perfect as the Lord your God is perfect." (Deuteronomy, XVIII, 13). 16 When you fast, don't look sad as the hypocrites: because they disfigure their faces to show the men that they fast. Truly I say to you: They have received their reward. 17 But you, when you fast, anoint your head, and wash your face; 18 for you don't show the men that you fast, but to your Father, in secret; and your Father, who sees in secret, will recompense you. (Matthew, VI, 16-18). 34 Be on your guard for yourselves, in order to your hearts do not be overcharged with consequences of gluttony, and inebriation, and cares of this life , and that day come on you suddenly as a bow. (Luke, XXI, 34). 14 Then come to him the disciples of John, saying: Why do the pharisees and we fast, but your disciples don't fast? 15 And Jesus said to them: Can the sons of the marriage be sad , as long as the bridegroom is with them? But the days will come, when the bridegroom will be taken away from them, and then they fast will. 16 And no man puts a slash of new cloth upon an old cloth; because the slash takes part of the old cloth, and the rupture will get bigger. 17 Neither one puts new wine into old barrels or the barrels tear, and the wine is spilled, and the barrels will ruin themselves. But put new wine into fresh barrels, and both are preserved. (Matthew, IX, 14-17). 18 And John's disciples and the pharisees were fasting. And they come and asked: Why do John's disciples and the disciples of the pharisees fast, but your disciples do not? 19 And Jesus said to them: Can the sons of the marriage fast, while the bridegroom is with them? As long as they have the bridegroom with them, they cannot fast. 20 But the days will come, when the bridegroom will be taken away from them, and then they will fast in that day. 21 No man sews a patch of new cloth on an old cloth; because the new patch takes part of the old cloth, and the rupture becomes bigger. 22 And no man puts new wine into old barrels; or the wine will split the barrels, and the wine and the barrels will ruin themselves. But they put new wine into fresh barrels. (Mark, II, 18-22). 33 And they said to him: The disciples of John and the disciples of the pharisees fast often, and make prayers; but yours eat and drink. 34 But Jesus said to them: Can you make the sons of the marriage fast, while the bridegroom is with them? 35 But the days will come; and when the bridegroom will be taken away from them, then they will fast in those days. 36 He also spoke a parable to them: No man takes out a piece from a new cloth and puts it upon an old cloth; or he will tear the new, and also the piece from the new will not agree with the old . 37 And no man puts new wine into old barrels; so the new wine will tear the barrels, and it will be spilled, and the barrels will perish. 38 But new wine must be put into fresh barrels. 39 And no man having drunk old wine prefers new; because he says: The old is better . (Luke, V, 33-39). 16 To whom will I compare this generation? It is like to children sitting in the public squares, who call to their fellows: 17 We played the flute to you, and you did not dance; we played lamentations, and you did not weep. 18 For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He has a demon. 19 The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say: Behold, a gluttonous man and a drunkard, a friend of publicans and sinners! But the sons of wisdom justify him. (Matthew, XI, 16-19). 31 To whom will I liken the men of this generation, and to what are they like? 32 They are like to children that sit in the public square, and call one to another: We played flute to you, and you did not dance; we played lamentations, and you did not weep. 33 For John the Baptist comes eating no bread nor drinking wine; and you say: He has a demon. 34 The Son of Man is come eating and drinking; and you say: Behold, a gluttonous man, and a guzzler, a friend of publicans and sinners! 35 But the sons of wisdom justify him. (Luke, VII, 31-35). 13 I saw in my visions of night, and, behold, there came with the clouds of heaven one like to a son of man , and he came even to the ancient of days, and they brought him near before him. 14 And there was given him dominion, and glory, and the kingdom, that all the peoples, nations, and languages would serve him; his dominion is an eternal dominion, which will not pass away, and his kingdom that which will not be destroyed. (Daniel, VII, 13-14). 16 And I heard a man's voice between the banks of the Ulai, which called, and said: Gabriel , make this man to understand the vision. 17 So he came near where I stood; and when he came, I was astonished, and fell upon my face; but he said to me: Understand, son of man ; because the vision will happen in the time of the end. (Daniel, VIII, 16-17). 14 And when they were come to the multitude, there came to him a man, kneeling to him, saying: 15 Lord, have mercy on my son, because he is epileptic, and suffers very much; for many times he falls into the fire, and other times into the water. 16 And I brought him to your disciples, and they could not cure him. 17 And Jesus said: Oh! Faithless and perverse generation! How long will I be with you? How long will I support you? Bring him to me. 18 And Jesus reprehended the demon and this went out of the boy; and since then the boy was cured. 19 Then the disciples came to Jesus and said: Why couldn't we expel it? 20 And he said to them: Because of your little faith: For truly I say to you, if you have faith as a grain of mustard seed, you will say to this mountain: Remove from here to there; and it will remove; and nothing will be impossible to you . 21 But this race of obsessing spirits you will not expel without prayer and fast . (Matthew, XVII, 14-21). 14 And when they came to the disciples, they saw a great multitude round them, and scribes questioning with them. 15 And suddenly all the multitude, when they saw him, were greatly amazed, and running to salute him. 16 And he asked them: What did you question with them? 17 And one of the multitude answered him: Master, I brought to you my son, who has a dumb spirit ; 18 and this takes him anywhere, he throws him down; and he foams, and gnashes his teeth, and becomes thin. I spoke to your disciples that they would cast it out; and they were not able. 19 And he answered them: Oh! Faithless generation, how long will I be with you? How long will I support to you? Bring him to me. 20 And they brought him to him; and when he saw him, suddenly the spirit shook him violently; and he fell on the ground, and wallowed foaming. 21 And he asked his father: How long time is it since this has happened to him? And he said: Since childhood. 22 And many times it has cast him both into the fire and into the waters, to kill him; but if you can do anything, have compassion on us, and help us. 23 And Jesus said to him: If you can! All things are possible to him that believes. 24 Immediately the father of the child cried out: I believe! Help my unfaithfulness. 25 When Jesus saw that the multitude increased, he rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to him: Dumb and deaf spirit , I command you, come out of him, and enter no more into him. 26 And having cried out, and shaking him much, he came out; and the boy became as dead; such that many ones said: He is dead. 27 But Jesus took him by the hand, and raised him up; and he stood up. 28 And when he was come into the house, his disciples asked him privately: How is it that we could not cast it out? 29 And he said to them: This kind can't come out without prayer and fast . (Mark, IX, 14-29). 37 On the next day, when they were come down from the mountain, a great multitude met him. 38 And behold, a man from the multitude cried, saying: Master, I demand you to look upon my only son; 39 and behold, a spirit takes him, and he suddenly cries out; and he tears him that he foams, and he hardly departs from him, leaving him contused. 40 And I begged to your disciples to cast him out; but they could not. 41 And Jesus answered: Oh! Faithless and perverse generation! How long will I be with you, and support you? Bring here your son. 42 And as he was coming, the demon dashed him down, and shook him violently. But Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the boy, and gave him back to his father. 43 And they were all astonished at the majesty of God. But while all were marveling at all the things which he did, he said to his disciples, 44 Let these words sink into your ears: The Son of Man will be delivered up into the hands of men. (Luke, IX, 37-44). 1 Now faith is the certainty of hoped things, and the proof of things not seen. (Hebrews, XI, 1). 39 And he went forward a little, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying: Father, if it be possible, let this calix (cup) pass away from me! However, don't do as I want, but as you do. 40 And he came to the disciples, and found them sleeping; and said to Peter: So, couldn't you watch with me one hour? 41 Watch and pray, that you don't enter into temptation; the spirit, truly is ready, but the flesh is weak. (Matthew, XXVI, 39-41). 39. "Whatever man can eat without injury to his health is permitted to him." (722 of SB). "In your physical constitution, flesh feeds flesh; or the man will become thin. The law of preservation makes it a duty for man to keep up his strength and health to fulfil the law of work. So he would feed himself according to the requirements of his organisation." (723 of SB). “There are also men who find satisfaction in getting drunk; do you approve them? A mode of life, by the adoption of which you condemn yourselves not to be useful to any one, cannot be pleasing to God.” (769 of SB). " In proportion as a Spirit becomes purified, the body with which he clothes himself also approaches more nearly to the spirit-nature. The matter of which his body is composed is less dense, he no longer crawls heavily on the surface of the ground; his bodily needs are less gross and the various living beings in those higher worlds are no longer obliged to destroy one another in order to feed themselves. The spirit has more freedom, and possesses, in regard to objects at a distance, orders of perception of a nature unknown to us; he sees with his eyes what we see only in thought." (Allan Kardec, 182 of SB). The more we progress, the less we need food, naturally, with some endeavor, until we are like Jesus who, absolutely, doesn't need matter. "The welfare is a natural will. God only prohibits excess, because excess is enemy of conservation; he has not made it a crime to seek after welfare, if that welfare is not acquired at another's expense, and if it doesn't weaken either your moral or your physical power." (719 of SB). We must feed ourselves with moderation, to supply our daily necessities of nutrition without alcoholic drink, without obesity, neither any other damage to health. "Meritorious is resistance to the temptation that solicits to excess or to the joy of useless things; it is to suppress his necessary to give to the one who doesn't have enough. If the privation is only a lie, it is a derision." (720, a, of SB). "The only sufferings that can elevate you are those which come upon you naturally, because they are inflicted by God. Voluntary sufferings count for nothing when they are not useful to others. Do you suppose that those who shorten their lives by superhuman hardships, like the bonzes, fakirs, and fanatics of various sects, advance their progress? Why don't they work for the good of their fellow men? Let them dress the indigent; let them comfort those who mourn; let them work for the patients; let them support hardships for relief of the unhappy ones and their life will be useful and delightful to God. When your voluntary sufferings are undergone only for yourselves, they are mere selfishness; when you suffer for others, you obey the law of charity. Such are the precepts of the Christ." (726 of SB). "The instinct of conservation has been given to all beings to guard them against dangers and sufferings. Flagellate your spirit, and not your body; mortify your pride; suffocate the selfishness that eats into the heart like a snake; and you will do more for your advancement than by the severity that don't belong to this century anymore." (727 of SB). It is meritorious to abstain of animal food "if we deny for others; but God cannot see a mortification when there isn't a serious and useful abstinence; this is because we say that those who fast falsely are hypocrites." (724 of SB). That is because of this that Jesus recommended the fast to expel obsessing spirits. It is important that the medium doesn't drink alcoholic drink neither red meat (cattle, porks, goats, sheep, hunting, etc). The medium must exchange the red meat by the boiled soybean during the fast (no chickens and other birds) of two days before meeting for communication with spirits. The obsessed person can get casting out obsessing spirits making fast, for they will look for gluttons to haunt. The possession "is never done without the participation of this who suffers it , through his weakness or his desire." (474 of SB). Jesus expelled the deaf and dumb spirit who was transmitting these diseases to the possessed boy. "If you attribute a malady to the devil, you may say, when you have cured the malady, that you have driven the devil away." (480 of SB). We are all sons of men, like Jesus; and sons of God. Every man can have sons: a Son of God. It is interesting like Jesus compares the obsessing spirit to a mountain which can be set from one place to another if we have faith. Alcoholic beverage always harms our health. In the minimum it causes chronic depression. In the maximum it will make us enter into the line of the receptors of human organs: then, we will be able, or not, to receive a slash of new cloth. It is useless to ask the Father to let this bitter cup (calyx) pass away. This calyx of anguish is originated of the use of alcohol. 19 Do not accumulate for yourselves treasures upon the earth, where moth and rust waste, and where thieves excavate and steal; 20 but accumulate for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust do waste, and where thieves do not dig nor steal; 21 because where your treasure is, there your heart will also be. 22 The lamp of the body is the eye. If your eye is good, your whole body will be full of light. 23 But if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. So if the light that is in you is darkness, how great is the darkness! 24 No man can serve two lords; because either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will serve to one, and despise the other. You cannot serve God and Momus (god of Carnival). 25 then I say to you: Do not be anxious for your life, about what you will eat, or what you will drink; nor for your body, what you will dress. Is not the life more than the food, and the body more than the clothes? 26 Behold the birds of the heaven: They sow not, neither they harvest, nor gather into barns; and your heavenly Father feeds them. Are not you much more worthy then they? 27 And which of you by being anxious can add one cubit to the measure of his stature? 28 And why are you anxious concerning clothes? Consider the lilies of the field: how they grow; they don't work, neither they spin. 29 I say to you: Even Solomon, in all his glory, didn't dress like one of these. 30 But if God does clothe the grass of the field, which today is, but tomorrow is cast to the oven, will he not much more clothe you, Oh! man of little faith? 31 So, do not be anxious, saying: What will we eat? or, What will we drink? or, What will we clothe? 32 Because these things are sought by the foreigners; for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. 33 But look for his kingdom first, and his justice; and all these things will be added to you. 34 So do not be unquiet for the day of tomorrow: because the day of tomorrow will bring his cares; it is sufficient its own evil to each day. (Matthew, VI, 19-34). 22 And he said to his disciples: I say to you: Do not be anxious for your life, what you will eat; nor for your body, what you will wear. 23 Because the life is more than the food, and the body more than the clothes. 24 Look to the crows, they don't sow, neither reap; which have no pantry nor granary; but God feeds them. How much worthier are you than the birds! 25 And which of you by being anxious can add a cubit to the measure of his height? 26 If then you are not able to do even that which is least, why are you anxious concerning the rest? 27 Consider the lilies, how they grow; they do not spin, neither they weave. But I say to you: Even Solomon in all his glory did not dress as one of these. 28 But if God does clothe the grass in the field, which today is, but tomorrow is cast into the oven; how much more he will clothe you, Oh! Man of little faith? 29 Do not ask what you will eat, or what you will drink, neither think in disquietudes. 30 Because the foreigners of the entire world look for that; but your Father knows that you do need these things. 31 Seek his kingdom first of all, and these things will be added to you. 32 Do not fear, oh! Little herd; because it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom. 33 Sell which you have, and give alms; make for yourselves bags which do not wear out, an eternal treasure in the heavens, where no thief arrives, neither moth destroys. 34 Because where your treasure is, there will also be your heart. (Luke, XII, 22-34). 41 But give for alms what you have; and behold, all things will be clean to you. (Luke, XI, 41). 45 The good man brings out of the good treasure of his heart what is good, and the evil man brings out the evil; because the mouth talks about the abundance of the heart. (Luke, VI, 45). 40. The man owns "nothing which is for the use of the body, but everything which is for the use of the soul, such as intelligence, knowledge and moral qualities. This is what man brings and takes with him, which no one can take away and which will be far more use in the next world than in the present one. (...) His future position will depend solely on what qualities have been gained in the present life." (Pascal, GAS, XVI, 9). "See if the work, counseling, or even offering real affection would not be more efficient than the mere giving of alms. Diffuse all around you with joy and in plenty, your love for God, for work and for your neighbor. (...) The riches of intelligence must serve you just as those of wealth do. Disperse around you the benefits of education and the treasure of your love over your brothers and sisters that they will fructify on the right time." (Cheverus, GAS, XVI, 11). One day we will be like Jesus which is pure Spirit and did not have even a material body when he was on earth and, then, we will have only moral worth to give. While we are materialized spirits we can also practise the material charity, though it is not the more important. "The spirit can only advance gradually. He cannot interchange at a jump the distance which separates barbarism from civilization." (Allan Kardec, 271 of SB). Jesus doesn't expect that we live of air. He wants that we seek the recourses of the intelligence and the heart first of all, then, so, the material goods will be added naturally, without surplus. The true property is that one that we can carry to the world of the Spirits. Concerning to the material goods, we can not carry even our body of flesh, it doesn't mean that we may harm our health. If we give the fish, it will be consumed and it will be extinguished, but if we teach to fish there will always be more fish. We can also teach to create fishes. The soul "is more specially inside the head of the great genius, and everyone who thinks much, and inside the heart of those who feel much, and whose actions are dedicated to the entire humanity." (146 of SB); "the court of the soul is more especially present in the organs which serve for the manifestation of the intellectual and moral qualities." (146, a, of SB). "However this depends on the perfection. Often the spirits can only glimpse the future (beyond) , but it is not allowed to them to always fix it. When they see it, it appears the present moment to them. The spirit sees the beyond (future) more clearly in proportion as he approaches God. After death, the soul sees and embraces at a blow all his past emancipations, but he cannot see what God has prepared to him. That He makes for that he is entirely inside Him very after the existences." (243 of SB). In the dreams the Spirit "has a remembrance (reminiscence) of the past, and sometimes foresees the future (the beyond)." (402 of SB). "It is often a remembrance (reminiscence) of places and things which you have seen in the past, or that you will see in another existence, or in an other moment." (402 of SB). "In somnambulism and in ecstasy the man glimpses the past life and the future life (beyond) . He may study these phenomena of emancipation and he will find the solution for more than one mystery that his reason searches uselessly to penetrate." (445 of SB). " Dreams are the remembrance (reminiscence) of what your spirit has seen during sleep; but emphasize that you do not dream everyday, because you do not remember everyday what you have seen, or all that you have seen." (402 of SB). "Is it necessary to the emancipation of the spirit that the sleep is complete? No; the spirit recovers his freedom as soon as the senses become torpid. He employees by his emancipation every moment of departure of the body. As soon as there occurs any prostration of the vital forces, the spirit disengages himself from the body, and the weaker the body, the freer is the spirit." (407 of SB). "What you call sleep is only the relaxation of the body, because the spirit is always in motion; then during sleep he recovers a portion of his freedom, and enters into communication with those who are dear to him, either in this sphere, or in other spheres; but as the matter of the body is heavy and gross, it is difficult for him to retain, on waking, the impressions he has received during sleep, because those impressions were not received by him through the bodily organs." (403 of SB). Jesus doesn't want that we are troubled with the future. The future is the spiritual life, which we can observe in some dreams (remembrance of the sleep or emancipation of the soul). “The future life implies the conservation of our individuality after death.” (Allan Kardec, 959 of SB). “The communications made to us by spirits show us the future state of the soul, no longer as a matter of theory, but as a reality.” (Allan Kardec, 973 of SB). Let's take care of the present moment. Let's allow that the tomorrow takes care of itself. The christian doesn't search answers in the horoscope, gamble of horns, cards, crystal balls, etc. to know his material future. "A sort of atmosphere by which they are enveloped, and which keeps up all their former evil things; for spirits are not entirely disengaged of the body. They glimpses the truth just for few moments, in order to show him the way." (229 of SB). "God could not implant in man the necessity of living, without giving him the means of living; because of this he makes the earth with a capacity of production sufficient to furnish all its inhabitants with the necessaries of life. It is only that which is necessary that is useful; that which is superfluous is never useful." (704 of SB). "Mankind must progress unceasingly" (778 of SB). "And it is thus that most advance ones help the progress of the others through social contact." (779 of SB). Look to the squirrels. Do not they gather into barns? And the bees? Do not they produce honey? Are not you much more worthy then they? We have one Lord. We must to keep away of the god Momus, the god of Carnival, with all his imperfections: luxury, pride, gluttony, smoke, narcotics, alcohol beverage, nakedness, sensuality, dance, music, idolatry to artists or products, etc. 1 Do not judge, for you do not be judged. 2 For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with what measure you measure, you will be measured too. 3 And why do you see the mote that is in your brother's eye, but you do not see the goal post that is in your own eye? 4 Or how will you say to your brother: Let me cast out the mote out of your eye; and lo, the beam is in your own eye? 5 Hypocrite! Cast out first the goal post out of your own eye; and then you will see clearly to cast out the mote out of your brother's eye. 6 Give not what is holy to the dogs; neither cast your pearls before the porks, for they do not tread on under their feet, and turn and dilacerate you. (Matthew, VII, 1-6). 37 Do not judge, and you will not be judged; and do not condemn, and you will not be condemned; forgive, and you will be forgiven; 38 give, and it will be given to you; good measure, emphasized, shaken together, running over, they will give to you. Because with what measure you measure you will be measured too. 39 And he spoke also a parable to them: Can the blind guide the blind? Will they not both fall into a pit? 40 The disciple is not above his Master: but every one, which will be perfect, will be as his Master. 41 And why do you see the mote in your brother's eye, but you do not see the goal post in your own eye? 42 How can you say to your brother: Brother, let me cast out the mote that is in your eye, when you yourself carry the beam that is in your own eye? Hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to cast out the mote that is in your brother's eye. (Luke, VI, 37-42). 41. “The purest light is not obscured by any cloud; the most precious diamond is the one which is without a flaw; judge the spirits, by the purity of their teachings. Do not forget that there are, among spirits, many who have not yet dispossessed themselves from their earthly ideas. Learn to distinguish them by their language; judge them by the sum of what they tell you; see whether there is logical sequence in the ideas they suggest, whether there is, in their statements, nothing that betrays ignorance, pride, or malevolence; in a word, whether their communications are always stamped by the seal of judiciousness that reveals the true superiority.” (conclusion of SB, IX). “When you are in doubt as to the quality of any one of your actions, ask yourself what would be your judgement in regard to it if it were done by another? If you would blame it in another, it cannot be more legitimate when done by you, for God's justice has neither two weights nor two measures. Endeavor also to know what is thought of it by others; and do not overlook the opinion of your enemies, for they have no interest in disguising the truth, and God often places them near you as a mirror, to warn you more frankly than would be done by a friend. Let him, then, who is firmly resolved on self-improvement examine his conscience in order to root out his evil tendencies, as he roots out the weeds from his garden;” (Saint Augustine, 919, a, of SB). “Before reproaching others with their imperfections, you would see whether we can't say about you the same things. Work in having the qualities opposite to the defects that you criticize in others, that is the way to you render superior. Does he reproach you to be avaricious? Be generous. To be proud? Be humble and modest. To be hard? Be soft. To act with lowness? Be great in all you do. In a word, act in such a way as that it may not be said of you, in the words of Jesus, that you 'see the mote in your brother's eye, but do not see the goal post in your own.” (903 of SB). “But you must not forget that indulgence for the faults of others is one of the elements of charity.” (903 of SB). Do not teach holy things to the ones who cannot understand. Do not teach reincarnation to the imperfect spirits. Do not teach the communication to the spirits to the materialists. If we do it they will gobble us. Do not do material charity dressing clothes of gala and jewelry or you will be stolen. 7 Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. 8 For every one that asks receives; and he that seeks finds; and to him that knocks it will be opened. 9 Or what man among you, who, if his son will ask him for bread, will give him a stone? 10 Or if he will ask for a fish, will give him a snake? 11 If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your sons, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to them that ask him? (Matthew, VII, 7-11). 5 And he said to them: If you have a friend, which among you, and he will go to you at midnight, and say to you: Friend, lend me three breads; 6 for a friend of mine who is come to me from a voyage, and I have nothing to set before him. 7 And you answer from inside: Trouble me not: the door is now closed, and my children are with me in bed; I cannot rise and give you? 8 I say to you: Though you will not rise and give him because he is your friend, but because of his importunity you will arise and give him as many as he needs. 9 And I say to you: Ask, and it will be given you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. 10 For every one that asks, receives; and he that seeks, finds; and to him that knocks it will be opened. 11 Which among you are a father who if your son asks a bread, and you give him a stone? Or a fish, and you for a fish give him a snake? 12 Or if he will ask an egg, will you give him a scorpion? 13 If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father, the Holy Spirit, give to them that ask him? (Luke, XI, 5-13). 42. “God has given you intelligence in order that you may make use of it, and it is especially by it that spirits come to help you suggesting useful thoughts; but they only help those who help themselves: a truth implied in the words, 'Seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you'.” (532 of SB). "Nevertheless, your just demands are deferred more often than you think. You think your prayer has not been heard, because God has not worked a miracle for you; but He helps you by means so natural that they seem to you to have been the effect of fortuity or of the ordinary course of things often too, the most often. God suggests to you the necessary thought to you get yourselves out of your embarrassment." (663 of SB). “Prayer is a mighty succor in everything; but you must believe well that it is not enough to mutter any words to obtain what you desire. God helps those who proceed." (479 of SB). “Prayer calls to your help good spirits who give you strength to support your trials with courage. So they seem to you less hard. We have said that prayer is never useless when it is well done, because it gives you strength, which is, itself, a great result. 'Aid you and heaven you aid,' you know that.” (663 of SB). “In the majority of cases it happens because of oneself. Seek, and you will find: these words do not mean that you have only to look to the ground in order to meet what we desire, but it is suitable to search with passion and perseverance, and not with softness (weakness), and without allowing yourselves to be discouraged by obstacles that are often only a mean of setting your constancy, patience, and firmness in trial.” (707 of SB). “If you obstinate yourself in a path which is not yours, the spirits do not have any guilt, you are your own evil genius.” (534 of SB). “How many people are there among you who prefer to die of misery than to work?” (995, a, of SB). “They do not have energy enough to want this who would decompose their relieve.” (995, a, of SB). 23 And one asked to him: Lord, are they few that are saved? And he said to them: 24 Endeavor to enter in by the narrow door: because many ones, I say to you, will seek to enter in, and they will not be able. 25 When the Master of the house is risen up and has closed the door, and you are outside, and to knock at the door, saying: Lord, open to us; and he will answer and say to you: I do not know you where you are from; 26 then you will say: We did eat and drink in your presence, and you taught in our streets. 27 But he will say: I do not know where you are from; depart from me, all you workers of iniquity. 28 There will be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth, when you will see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and you cast out. 29 And they will come from the east and west, and from the north and south, and they will sit down in the kingdom of God. 30 But there are last who will be first, and there are first who will be last. (Luke, XIII, 23-30). 12 All things, thus, you want that men will do to you, this way you will do to them ; because this is the law and the prophets. 13 Enter you in by the narrow door because wide is the door, and spacious is the way, that conducts to the perdition (downfall), and many ones are those who enter in it. 14 Because narrow is the door, and compressed the way, that conducts to life, and few are those who find it. (Matthew, VII, 12-14). 31 And as you want that men will do to you, you will also do to them likewise . (Luke, VI, 31). 1 Truly, truly, I say to you: He that does not enter by the door into the fold of the sheep, but climbs up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber. 2 But he that enters in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. 3 To him the doorkeeper opens; and the sheep hear his voice, and he calls his own sheep by the name, and leads them out. 4 When he has put out all his own, he goes before them, and the sheep follow him, because they know his voice. 5 And they will not follow the stranger; but will escape from him, because they do not know the voice of strangers. 6 Jesus spoke this parable to them, but they did not understand the sense of that he was talking about. 7 Jesus, so, said to them again: Truly, truly, I say to you: I am the door of the sheep. 8 All that came before me are thieves and robbers; but the sheep did not hear them . 9 I am the door. If any man enter in by me, he will be saved; and will go in and go out, and will find pasturage. 10 The thief comes only to steal, and kill, and destroy; I came for that you have life, plentiful life. 11 I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd gives his life for the sheep. 12 The mercenary, who is not a shepherd, who does not own the sheep, beholds the wolf coming, and leaves the sheep, and escapes, then the wolf carries them, and disperses them. 13 The mercenary escapes because he is mercenary, and he doesn't care about the sheep. 14 I am the good shepherd; and I know my sheep, and they know me, 15 just as the Father knows me, and I know the Father; and I give my life for the sheep. 16 And I have other sheep, which are not of this fold; I must conduct them also; and they will hear my voice; then, there will be one flock and one shepherd. 17 For that the Father loves me, because I give my life to take it back again. 18 None takes it away from me, but I give it by myself. I have might to deliver and also to recover my life. This commandment I received from my Father. 19 There was a division again among the jews because of these words. 20 And many of them said: He has a demon, and is mad; why do you listen to him? 21 Others said: These are not the sayings of one possessed with a demon. Can a demon open the eyes of the blind? (John, X, 1-21). 1 The Lord is my shepherd; nothing will be lack to me. 2 He makes me to repose in green pasturages. He conducts me to the waters of rest. 3 He refreshes my soul. He guides me in the paths of justice for the love of his name. 4 Even I walk through the valley of the shadows of death, I will fear no evil; because you are with me; your cane and your staff console me. 5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup (calyx) runs over. 6 Kindness and mercy will surely follow me all the days of my life; and I will inhabit in the house of the Lord forever. (Psalm XXIII, 1-6). 43. “As man is subject to error may he not be mistaken in his appreciation of good and evil, and believe himself to be doing right, when, in reality, he is doing wrong? Jesus has said: 'Pay attention on what you want that we do or do not to you, that is it. You will not be wrong.” (632 of SB). “Justice consists in respect for the rights of each one.” (875 of SB). “Christ has told you: Want for others what you do want for yourself . God has placed in the heart of man truly rule of all justice, for the desire of each one to want his own rights respected. When uncertain as to what he should do in regard to his fellow-creature in any given conjuncture, let each man demand himself what he would like that we do, in inverse sense, in the same circumstances; God could not give him a safer guide than his own conscience.” (876 of SB). “The sublime peculiarity of the Christian religion is its taking of personal right as the basis of the right of the neighbor.” (Allan Kardec, 876 of SB). The first of the obligations “is to respect the rights of others; he who respects those rights will always be just.” (877 of SB). Jesus is the narrow door. He is not the easier way, but he is surely the safest and He guides us to our moral perfecting. But the door of the perdition (downfall) is large and easy: selfishness, egocentricity, avarice, greed, pride, hate, self-love, resentment, revenge, bruise, nonconformism, cruelty, alcoholic beverage, smoking tobacco, promiscuity, narcotics, unbridled sexuality, material wealth, pleasures without end. God is our Creator. He is our Shepherd who creates us as loved lambs. We are also creators. We create our sons, our animals, pets, our plants and our things. “The incarnation puts the spirit himself to sustain his share in the work of creation;” (132 of SB). 15 Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inside are robbing wolves. 16 By their fruits you will know them. Do men gather grapes of thornbushes, or figs of eyesopen? 17 Even so every good tree brings good fruit; but the bad tree brings evil fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bring evil fruit, neither a bad tree can bring good fruit. 19 Every tree that does not bring good fruit is cut off, and thrown into the fire. 20 Thus by their fruits you will know them. (Matthew, VII, 15-20). 33 Either make the good tree, and its good fruit; or make the bad tree, and its bad fruit; because the tree is known by its fruit. 34 Race of vipers, how can you, being evil, speak good things? Because the mouth speaks of the abundance of the heart. 35 The good man takes from his good treasure good things; but the evil man takes out of his evil treasure evil things. 36 I say to you, that for every frivolous word that men will speak, they will give account in the day of judgment. 37 Because by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned. (Matthew, XII, 33-37). 22 so there will arise false Christs and false prophets, working signs and wonders, that they may deceive, if possible, even the elect ones. 23 But take aware: I have told you all things beforehand. (Mark, XIII, 22-23). 43 There is no good tree that carries bad fruit; neither bad tree that carries good fruit. 44 For each tree is known by its own fruit. Because men do not gather figs of thornbushes, nor one gather grapes of eyeopen. 45 The good man takes which is good of the good treasure of his heart; and the evil man takes which is evil of the evil treasure; because the mouth speaks of the abundance of the heart. (Luke, VI, 43-45). 25 And when Moses saw that the people were naked , because Aaron had let them nude to shame them among their enemies, 26 then Moses stood in the gate of the camp, and said: Who is on Lord's side, let him come to me. And all the sons of Levi gathered themselves together to him. 27 And he said to them: Thus said the Lord, the God of Israel: Put your sword upon the side of each man , and go to and from gate to gate throughout the camp, and each man kills his brother , and each man his friend, and each man his neighbor . 28 And the sons of Levi did according to the word of Moses: and about three thousand men of the people fell down that day. (Exodus, XXXII, 25-28). 9 When you are come into the land which the Lord your God gave to you, you will not learn to do the abominations of those nations. 10 There will not be found with you any one that makes his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, one that uses soothsaying, one that practises augury, or an enchanter, or a witch doctor, 11 or a charmer, or a consulter with a familiar spirit, or a wizard, or a necromancer. 12 Because whosoever does these things is an abomination to the Lord: and because of these abominations the Lord your God does drive them out from before you . 13 You will be perfect like the Lord your God. (Deuteronomy, XVIII, 9-13). 10 Now the Vale of the Trees was full of asphalt wells; and the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah escaped, and their people died there, and they that remained escaped to the mountain. 11 The winners took all the goods of Sodom and Gomorrah, and all their food, and went way. 18 And Melchizedek, king of Salem, brought bread and wine; and he was priest of the Highest God. 19 And he blessed him, and said: Blessed is Abram of the Most High God, Possessor of heaven and earth! 20 And blessed is the Highest God, who has delivered your enemies in your hands. And He gave to Abram a tenth of all. (Genesis, XIV, 10-11 e 18-20). 8 All that came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them . 9 I am the door. If any man enter in by me, he will be saved; and will go in and go out, and will find pasturage. 10 The thief comes only to steal, and kill, and destroy; I came for that you have life, plentiful life. (John, X, 8-10). 44. The text is very clear. The people accepted very easily the order of being naked e they made a feast. Then Moses ordered the levites to kill them, for their sensuality and adoration to a false golden god. Besides, Moses, using a language of difficult understanding, said that the one who talked to the spirits would get free of them. The law of destruction is very used to punish simple and ignorant spirits. Behold only the body dies, cause the spirit is eternal. Abram as the governor of his people charged the tenth (tithe) of the robbery of war. God never mistakes in his trials. 21 Not every one that says to me: Lord, Lord, will enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me in that day: Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy by your name, and cast out demons by your name, and do many mighty works by your name? 23 And then I will I say explicitly to them: I never knew you. Disunite of me, you that work iniquity. 24 Every one therefore that hears these words of mine, and exercises them, will be likened to a wise man, who built his house upon the rock; 25 and the it rained, and the rivers overflowed, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not; because it was founded upon the rock; 26 And every one that hears these words of mine, and does them not, will be likened to a foolish man, who built his house upon the sand; 27 and it rained, and the rivers flooded, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell; and great was the downfall. 28 When Jesus had finished these words, the multitudes were astonished at his doctrine; 29 because he taught them as one having authority, and not as their scribes. (Matthew, VII, 21-29). 46 And why do you call me: Lord, Lord, and do not the things, which I order? 47 Every one that comes to me, and hears my words, and does them, I will show you to whom he is like. 48 He is like a man building a house, who hoed and went deep, and laid a foundation upon the rock; and when a inundation came, the stream brake against that house, and could not shake it; because it had been well built. 49 But he that hears, and does not, is like a man that built a house upon the earth without a foundation; against which the stream brake, and straightway it fell in; and the ruin of that house was great. (Luke, VI, 46-49). 45. It is not enough to say: Jesus is the Lord; Jesus is God. It is necessary to do his wish, the desire of the Father. Why would someone practise mediunic phenomena without doing any good? Is it useful expel demons (obsessing spirits), but do not stop praising the vices which attract them? Jesus has authority: “Yes, very great, the spirits have one over another proportional authority according to their superiority, which they exercise through a irresistible ascendancy moral.” (274 of SB). “Can spirits of lower degree resist themselves against the authority of those who are higher than themselves? I said irresistible .” (274, a, of SB). XVIII – Healings   1 And when he was come down from the mountain, great multitudes followed him. 2 And behold, there came to him a leper and worshipped him, saying: Lord, if you want, you can purify me. 3 And he stretched out his hand, and touched him, saying: I want; be clean. And immediately his leprosy was healed. 4 And Jesus said to him: Do not tell any man; but go, show yourself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, for a witness to them. (Matthew, VIII, 1-4). 40 Came to him a leper, begging him, and kneeling down to him: If you want, you can purify me. 41 And being moved with compassion, he stretched out his hand, and touched him, and said to him: I want; be clean. 42 And straightway the leprosy departed from him, and he was cleaned. 43 And he warned him vehemently, and straightway sent him out. 44 He said to him: Do not say anything to any man; but go to show yourself to the priest, and offer for your purification the things which Moses commanded, for a witness to them. 45 But he went out, and began to publish it much, and to spread abroad the matter, such that Jesus could no more openly enter into a city, but was without in desert places; and they came to him from every place. (Mark, I, 40-45). 12 While he was in one of the cities, behold, a man full of leprosy; and when he saw Jesus, he fell on his face, and entreated him, saying: Lord, if you want, you can purify me. 13 And he stretched out his hand, and touched him, saying: I want; be cleaned. And straightway the leprosy departed from him. 14 And he ordered him to tell no man; but go your way, and show yourself to the priest, and offer for your purification, according as Moses commanded, for a testimony to them. 15 But so much the more went abroad the report concerning him; and great multitudes came together to hear, and to be healed of their sicknesses. 16 But he removed himself in the deserts, and prayed. (Luke, V, 12-16). 46. “Does the vital principle reside in any one of the bodies known to us? It has its source in the universal fluid; it is what you call the magnetic fluid, or the animalized electric fluid. It is the intermediary, the link between spirit and matter.” (65 of SB). “What you call the electric fluid, the magnetic fluid are modifications of the universal fluid, which is, properly speaking, more perfect and subtle matter, and that we can regard as independent.” (27, a, of SB). “Which is the nature of the agent called the magnetic fluid? Vital fluid, animalized electricity; which are modifications of the universal fluid.” (427 of SB). “During life, the body receives external impressions and transmits them to the spirit through the intermediary of the perispirit, which constitutes, probably, what is called the nervous fluid .” (sic, Allan Kardec, 257 of SB). It is very practise to know the universal fluid, the electric current that flows from our nervous to obtain cures. We must avoid been nervous so we will keep ourselves healed to be able to consummate cures. “Do some persons really possess the gift of healing by merely touching? The magnetic power may act to that extent when it is seconded by purity of intention and ardent desire to do good, for, in such a case, good spirits come to aid. But it is convenient to challenge the way in which facts are narrated by credulous and enthusiastic ones, always disposed to see marvels in the simplest and most natural things. It is convenient also to challenge the self-interested narration of folks who exploit the credulity with a view to their own gain.” (556 of SB). “Remember that Good Spirits only give their aid to those who serve God with humility and disinterestedness; they repudiate everyone who seeks in the way of the heaven as a ladder for things of the earth, they exclude themselves from the proud and the ambitious ones.” (prolegomena of SB). Jesus ordered the leper to silence, but he went away and told that the Lord had healed him to everybody. We must not to make publicity of our ability to cure. If it there is it will be propagated naturally from mouth to mouth. “Is there any link between what is called magnetic somnambulism and natural somnambulism? They are the same thing; but the natural somnambulism is not provoked.” (426 of SB). Through superpositions of the magnetic pass the natural sleepwalker can be induced to the magnetic somnambulism. We must cure. “God always blesses those who do good; to alleviate the pauper and afflicted is the best way to honor Him.” (673 of SB). “The only sufferings that can elevate you are those which come upon you naturally, because they are inflicted by God. Voluntary sufferings count for nothing when they are not useful to others. Do you suppose that those who shorten their lives by superhuman hardships, like the bonzes, fakirs, and fanatics of various sects, advance their progress? Why don't they work for the good of their fellow men? Let them dress the indigent; let them comfort those who mourn; let them work for the patients ; let them support hardships for relief of the unhappy ones and their life will be useful and delightful to God.” (726 of SB). We must never search for suffering. We must always search to cure and to be cured. “The instinct of conservation has been given to all beings to guard them against dangers and sufferings . Flagellate your spirit, and not your body; mortify your pride; suffocate the selfishness that eats into the heart like a snake; and you will do more for your advancement than by the severity that don't belong to this century anymore.” (727 of SB). The spirits warn you to make that you avoid accidents, through your thoughts “for we do not love physical suffering; but this is of little importance to the life you have chosen.” (859 of SB). The material suffering do not make us develop. 1 He entered again into Capernaum after some days, and the notice ran that he was in the house. 2 And many went there, there was no place even at the door, and he spoke the word to them. 3 And they come, bringing to him a paralytic, carried by four. 4 And when they could not come near him, because of the multitude, they uncovered the roof where he was, and when they had broken it up, they let down the bed where the sick of the palsy was. 5 And Jesus seeing their faith said to the paralytic: Son, your sins are forgiven. 6 But there were certain of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts, 7 Why does this man speak like this? He blasphemed! Who can forgive sins but one, which is God? 8 And Jesus, perceiving immediately in his spirit that they so reasoned within themselves, said to them: Why reason you these things in your hearts? 9 Which is easier, to say to the paralytic: Your sins are forgiven; or to say: Arise, and take your bed, and walk? 10 But that you must know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins (he said to the sick of the palsy), 11 I say to you: Arise, take up your bed, and go to your house. 12 And he arose, and straightway took the bed, and went away before them all; and they were all so amazed that they glorified God, saying: We have never saw something like this! (Mark, II, 1-12). 17 And it came to pass on one of those days, that he was teaching; and there were pharisees and masters of the law sitting by, who were come out of every village of Galilee and Judaea and Jerusalem. And the power of the Lord was with him to heal. 18 And behold, men bring on a bed a man that was palsied: and they sought to bring him in, and to lay him before him. 19 And not finding by what way they might bring him in because of the multitude, they went up to the housetop, and let him down through the tiles with his couch into the middle before Jesus. 20 And seeing their faith, he said: Man, your sins are forgiven. 21 And the scribes and the pharisees began to reason, saying: Who is this that speaks blasphemies? Who can forgive sins, but God alone? 22 But Jesus perceiving their thoughts, answered and said to them: What reason do you have in your hearts? 23 Which is easier, to say: Your sins are forgiven; or to say: Arise and walk? 24 But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins (he said to him that was palsied), I say to you: Arise, and take up your berth, and go to your house. 25 And immediately he rose up before them, and took his bed, and went to his house, glorifying God. 26 And amazement took hold on all, and they glorified God; and they were filled with fear, saying: We have seen prodigies today. (Luke, V, 17-26). 1 And he entered into a boat, and crossed over, and came into his own city. 2 And behold, they brought to him a man sick of the palsy, lying on a bed. And Jesus seeing their faith said to the sick of the palsy: Son, you have good soul ; your sins are forgiven. 3 And behold, certain of the scribes said within themselves: This man blasphemed. 4 And Jesus knowing their thoughts said: Why do you have the evil in your hearts? 5 For which is easier, to say: Your sins are forgiven; or to say: Arise, and walk? 6 But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins (then he said to the sick of the palsy): Arise, and take your bed, and go to your house. 7 And he arose, and departed to his house. 8 But when the multitudes saw it, they were afraid, and glorified God, who had given such authority to men. (Matthew, IX, 1-8). 47. The scribes were amazed because Jesus forgave sins, because they were not able to forgive anyone. The paralytic was sick for his guilt sins that he carried and he was unable to forgive himself. “The spirit is reflected in the body; and although the body is only matter, it is modeled on the capacities of the spirit, which impresses upon it a certain character that is more particularly visible in the appearance, and it is truly that we designate that the eyes are the mirror of the soul; that is to say, that the appearance properly reflects the soul,” (217 of SB). We must be indulgent for everybody and even for us. The Psychosomatic Medicine was used by Jesus who teaches us that if we mistreat our spirit we will also mistreat our body of flesh. We must to regret and not to sin again. 5 And when he was entered into Capernaum, there came to him a centurion, imploring to him: 6 Lord, my servant lies in the house sick of the palsy, suffering horribly. 7 And he said to him: I will go and heal him. 8 But the centurion answered: Lord, I am not worthy that you come under my roof; but only order by the word, and my servant will be healed. 9 For I also am a man under authority, having under myself soldiers: and I say to this one: Go, and he goes; and to another: Come, and he comes; and to my servant: Do this, and he does it. 10 And when Jesus heard it, he marveled, and said to them that followed: Truly I say to you, I have not found so great faith, nor in Israel. 11 And I say to you, that many will come from the east and the west, and they will sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven. 12 But the sons of the kingdom will be cast out into the darkness; there will be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth. 13 And Jesus said to the centurion: Go way; it will be done according what you believe. And the servant was healed in that hour. (Matthew, VIII, 5-13). 1 After he had ended all his sayings in the ears of the people, he entered into Capernaum. 2 And a certain centurion's servant, who was dear to him, was sick and at the point of death. 3 And when he heard concerning Jesus, he sent to him elders of the Jews, asking him that he would come and save his servant. 4 And they, when they came to Jesus, besought him earnestly, saying: He is worthy that you would do this for him; 5 because he is friend of our people, and he built us our synagogue himself. 6 And Jesus went with them. And when he was near from the house, the centurion sent friends to him, saying to him: Lord, do not trouble yourself; for I am not worthy that you come under my roof. 7 So I am not myself worthy to come to you; but say the word, and my servant will be healed. 8 Because I am also a man set under authority, having soldiers under my orders, and I say to this one: Go, and he goes; and to another, Come, and he comes; and to my servant: Do this, and he does it. 9 And when Jesus heard these things, he marveled at him, and turned and said to the multitude that followed him: I say to you, I have not found so great faith, nor in Israel. 10 And they that were sent, returning to the house, found the servant healthy. (Luke, VII, 1-10). 43 And after the two days he get out and went to Galilee. 44 Because Jesus himself witnessed, that a prophet has no honor in his own ground. 45 So when he came into Galilee, the galilaeans received him, having seen all the things that he did in Jerusalem at the feast; because they also went to the feast. 46 He drove himself to Cana of Galilee again, where he made the water wine. And there was a certain official of the king, whose child was sick at Capernaum. 47 When he heard that Jesus was come out of Judaea into Galilee, he went to him, and besought him that he would come down, and heal his child; because he was at the point of death. 48 Jesus said to him: If you do not see signs and wonders, you will believe in no wise. 49 The official of the king said to him: Sir, come down or my child dies. 50 Jesus said to him: Go your way; your child lives. The man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him, and he went his way. 51 And as he was now going down, his servants met him, saying that his child lived. 52 So he inquired of them the hour when he became better. They said to him: Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him. 53 So the father knew that it was at that hour in which Jesus said to him: Your child lives; and he believed, and his whole house. 54 This is again the second sign that Jesus did, having come out of Judaea into Galilee. (John, IV, 43-54). 48. “The order does not come directly from God, for communicating with God, it is convenient to be worthy of such communication. God transmits His orders through spirits of higher degrees of perfection and knowledge.” (244, b, of SB). “Yes, very great, the spirits have one over another proportional authority according to their superiority, which they exercise through a irresistible ascendancy moral.” (274 of SB). “Can spirits of lower degree resist themselves against the authority of those who are higher than themselves? I said irresistible .” (274, a, of SB). God “has His devoted agents at every step of the ladder of worlds .” (536, b, of SB). “Those who execute material facts are always of an inferior order, at the home of the spirits as the home of men.” (538, a, of SB). This way Jesus sent good spirits physicians to cure the servant of the centurion, which had much faith and knew that Jesus has spirits under his services, as he had servants serving him. 10 And Jacob went out from Beer-sheba, and went to Haran. 11 And he arrived to certain place, and stayed there all night, because the sun was set; and he took one of the stones of the place, and put it under his head, and lay down in that place to sleep. 12 And he dreamed. Behold, a ladder set on the earth whose top reached to heaven; and, behold, the angels of God ascending and descending on it . 13 And, behold, the Lord stood above it, and said: I am the Lord, the God of Abraham your father, and the God of Isaac. The land where you lay down, I will I give it to you, and to your descent (seed). 14 Your descent will be as the dust of the earth, and you will spread abroad to the west, and to the east, and to the north, and to the south. And in you and in descent will be blessed all the families of the earth. 15 And, behold, I am with you, and I will keep you wherever you go, and I will bring you again into this land; because I will not leave you, until I have done that which I have spoken to you. 16 And Jacob awaked out of his sleep, and he said: Surely the Lord is in this place; and I didn't know it. 17 And he was afraid and said: How dreadful is this place! This is the House of God, the door of heaven. 18 And Jacob rose up early in the morning, and took the stone that he had put under his head, and set it up for a pillar , and put olive oil upon the top of it. 19 And he called the name of that place Beth-el: but the name of the city was Luz (light in portuguese) at the first. 20 And Jacob vowed a vow, saying: If God will be with me, and will keep me in this way that I go, and will give me bread to eat, and cloth to put on, 21 so that I come again to my father's house in peace, and the Lord will be my God; 22 and this stone, which I have set up for a column (pillar), will be God's house; and of all that you will give me I will surely give the tenth (tithe) to you. (Genesis, XXVIII, 10-22). XIX – Jesus and the Kingdom of God   57 And as they went on the way, a certain man said to him: I will follow wherever you go. 58 And Jesus said to him: The foxes have holes, and the birds of the heaven have nests; but the Son of Man doesn't have where to lay his head. 59 And he said to another: Follow me! But he said: Lord, allow me first to go and sepulcher my father. 60 But he said to him: Let the dead to bury their own dead. But go and preach the kingdom of God. 61 And another also said: I will follow you, Lord; but first allow me to part from them that are at my house. 62 But Jesus said to him: No man, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God. (Luke, IX, 57-62). 18 Now when Jesus saw great multitudes about him, he ordered them to pass to the beyond (future). 19 And there came a scribe, and said to him: Master, I will follow you wherever you go. 20 And Jesus said to him: The foxes have holes, and the birds of the heaven have nests; but the Son of Man doesn't have where to lay his head. 21 And another of the disciples said to him: Lord, allow me first to go and bury my father. 22 But Jesus said to him: Follow me; and let the dead to bury their own dead. (Matthew, VIII, 18-22). 49. Jesus doesn't forbid sepulchering bodies of flesh. It is a sanitary action to do it, but, the people uses to suffer the death of the body; does everything finish in the grave?! “At death the spirit gets out of slavery; at birth, he re-enters it.” (339 of SB). If the body is dead, the person goes to the beyond, the kingdom of heaven. “Death doesn't inspire any fright to the just man, because, he has the faith and the certainty of the future (beyond); hope makes him to expect a better life; and charity whose law he has been practised, gives him the assurance that, in the world where he will go in, he will meet no being which he fears to see.” (941 of SB). Jesus want that we be happy and preach the victory of the spirit over the death. When our body dies we have always to abandon literally each relative that remained incarnated and we don't have how to say farewell. The spirit doesn't need a material house to live: the son of man doesn't have where to lay his head. 35 At the evening of that day, he said to them: Let us go to the beyond (future ). 36 Leaving the multitude, they take him with them, even as he was, in the boat. And other boats followed them. 37 Then a great storm of wind arised, and the waves beat into the boat, such that the boat was filling of water. 38 And he was in the stern, asleep on the pillow ; and they awoke him, and said to him: Master, don't you care that we die? 39 And he awoke, and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea: Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm. 40 So he said to them: Why are you fearful? How come you do not have faith? 41 And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another: Who is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him? (Mark, IV, 35-41). 23 Thus when he was entered into a boat, his disciples followed him. 24 And behold, there arose a great tempest in the sea, such that the boat was covered with the waves. But he was asleep. 25 And they came to him, and awoke him, saying: Save, Lord! We die! 26 And he said to them: Why are you fearful, Oh! Men of few faith? Then he arose, and reprehended the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm. 27 And the men marveled, saying: What kind of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him? (Matthew, VIII, 23-27). 22 On one of those days, he entered into a boat, himself and his disciples; and he said to them: Let us go to the beyond (future ) of the lake; and they departed. 23 But as they sailed he fell asleep. And there came down a storm of wind on the lake; and they were filling with water, and were in jeopardy. 24 They came to him, and awoke him, saying: Master, Master, we are dying! And he awoke, and rebuked the wind and the fury of the water. They stopped, and there was a calm. 25 And he said to them: Where is your faith? They were afraid and marveled, saying one to another: Who is this, that he commands even the winds and the water, and they obey him? (Luke, VIII, 22-25). 50. Jesus promised to take his disciples to the beyond (the side of there), the kingdom of the heaven, but they didn't have faith that the beyond there is. They were afraid of dying. Then Jesus called rappers or noisy spirits to help Him: “They often manifest their presence by the production of phenomena physical and perceptible by the senses such as raps, the movement and abnormal displacing of solid bodies, the agitation of the air, etc. They appear to be, more than any other class of spirits, attached to matter; they seem to be the principal agents in determining the transformations of the elements of the globe, and they agitate the air, water, fire, and the hard bodies inside the entrails of the earth. We recognize these phenomena are not appointed to a fortuitous and physical cause, when they have an intentional and intelligent character. All spirits are able to produce these phenomena; but elevated spirits usually leave them as attributions of the subaltern spirits, more able to the material things than to the intelligent things. When they judge these kind of manifestations are useful they serve themselves with the work of these spirits as auxiliaries.” (106 of SB). “God does not exercise a direct action upon matter; He has His devoted agents at every step of the ladder of worlds.” (536, b, of SB). “These who execute material things are always of an inferior order, spirit's home and men's home.” (538, a, of SB). “There is a reason for everything; nothing happens without the permission of God.” (536 of SB). “The mythology of the ancients is entirely based on spiritist ideas with this difference that they regarded spirits as divinities presently, they represented to us these gods or spirits with special attributes; therefore, some of them had charge of the winds, others of the lightning; others, again, presided over vegetation, etc. Is this belief empty of foundation? "It is so empty of foundation, this faith is however is very below the truth.” (537 of SB). “In the production of certain phenomena, of storms, for example, is it a single spirit that acts or they assemble a mass of spirits? In innumerable masses of spirits.” (539 of SB). “The spirits more underdeveloped are useful to the general assembly; while they prepare themselves to live , and before they have full conscience of their actions and free will, they act over certain phenomena whose agents they are without they know that ; first they execute; latter, when their intelligence will be more developed, they will order and manage the things of the material world; still later, however, they will be able (will degrade) to manage the things of the moral world. It is thus that everything incases, everything inchains inside nature, from the primitive atom to the archangel, who himself began at the atom ; an admirable law of harmony, which your limited spirit cannot, however, seize entirely.” (540 of SB). “What is spirit? The intelligent principle of the universe.” (23 of SB). “From where do the animals take the intelligent principle that constitutes the species particular of soul of which they are endowed? From the universal intelligent element.” (606 of SB). “The intelligence of man and this of the animals emanates, then, from one and the same principle? Undoubtedly; but, in man, it has received an elaboration which raises it above that which animates the brute.” (606, a, of SB). “The intelligent principle is elaborated, is gradually individualised , and is prepared to live by himself , as we have said. It is, any way, a preparatory work, like that of germination, in consequence of which the intelligent principle suffers a transformation and becomes Spirit . It is then that the period of humanity begins for him, with his conscience of his beyond (future), the ability to distinguish between good and evil, and the responsibility of his actions;” (607, a, of SB). The primitive worlds are “destined to the initial incarnations of the human soul” (GAS, III, 4). “"God has created simple and ignorant Spirits them all, I mean, without science.” (115 of SB). “The Spirits are the individualisation of the intelligent principle,” (79 of SB). “We can say that the Spirits are the intelligent beings of the creation.” (76 of SB). “The human species is that which God has chosen for the incarnation of the beings that are able to know Him .” (610 of SB). "Do Spirits constitute a world (sphere) apart, out of that which we see? Yes; the world (sphere) of Spirits or intelligences without body." (84 of SB). 1 But they came to the other side of the sea, to the land of the gerasenes . 2 And when he got out of the boat, a man with an unclean spirit came to meet him, 3 this man lived in the graves, and no man could arrest him nor with chains; 4 because that he had been arrested with fetters and chains, and the chains had been broken by him, and the fetters broken in pieces. And no man could subjugate him. 5 And always, night and day, in the tombs and in the mountains, he was crying out, and hurting himself with stones. 6 When he saw Jesus from afar, he ran and worshipped him; 7 and crying out with a loud voice, he said: What do I have with you, Jesus, Son of the Highest God? I conjure you by God, for not to torment me! 8 Because he said to him: Unclean spirit! Get out of the man. 9 And he asked him: What is your name? And he said to him: My name is Legion; for we are a lot. 10 And he besought him much that he would not send them away below the ground. 11 Now there was on the mount a great herd of porks. 12 And they besought him, saying: Send us to the porks, that we enter into them. 13 Jesus allowed. And the unclean spirits got out, and entered into the porks, and the herd ran to the precipice down into the sea, in number about two thousand; and they were drowned in the sea. 14 The feeders of the porks ran away and told it in the city, and in the countries. And the people came to see what it happened. 15 They went to Jesus, and behold him that was possessed with demons sitting, clothed and in his right mind, even him that had the legion: and they were afraid. 16 They that saw it declared to them what happened to the possessed with demons, and concerning the porks. 17 And they began to beseech him to depart from their borders. 18 As he was entering into the boat, he that had been possessed with demons besought him to be with Jesus. 19 But Jesus didn't allow: Go to your house to your friends, and tell them how great things the Lord has done for you, and how he had mercy on you. 20 And he went his way, and began to publish in Decapolis how great things Jesus had done for him: and all men marveled. (Mark, V, 1-20). 28 When he was arrived to the other side into the land of the gadarenes , two possessed with demons came to him from the sepulchers, so furious, that no man could pass by that way. 29 And behold, they cried out, saying: What do we have with you, oh! Son of God? Did you come here to torment us before the time? 30 Now there was afar from them a herd of many porks. 31 Then the demons besought him, saying: If you cast us out, send us away into the herd of porks. 32 He said to them: Go. And they came out, and went into the porks; and behold, the whole herd rushed down the steep into the sea, and died in the waters. 33 The feeders escaped, and went away into the city, and told everything, and what had happened to the possessed with demons. 34 Then the entire city came to meet Jesus; and when they saw him, they besought him that he would get out from their borders. (Matthew, VIII, 28-34). 26 Then they arrived at the land of the gerasenes , frontier of Galilee. 27 When he was come to the land, a certain man out of the city met him, who had demons; and for a long time he had worn no clothes, and inhabited not in any house, but in the tombs. 28 And when he saw Jesus, he cried out, and fell down before him, and with a loud voice said: What do I have with you, Jesus, Son of the Highest God? I beseech you not to torment me. 29 Because he was commanding the unclean spirit to come out from the man. Because he had controlled him many times. And he was kept under guard, and bound with chains and fetters; and breaking these all, he was driven by the demon to the deserts. 30 Jesus asked him: What is your name? He said: Legion; because many demons were entered into him. 31 They begged him that he would not command them to go to the abyss . 32 Now there was a herd of many porks feeding on the mount; and they begged him that he would let them enter into them. And he allowed them to. 33 The demons came out from the man, and entered into the porks; and the herd rushed down the steep into the lake, and was drowned. 34 The feeders saw that and ran away, and told it in the city and in the countries. 35 Then the people went out to see what happened; and they came to Jesus. In fact, they found the man, from whom the demons were gone out, sitting, clothed and in his right mind, at the feet of Jesus, and they were afraid. 36 And they that saw it told them how he that was possessed with demons was been saved. 37 All the people of the land of the gerasenes round about asked him to depart from them, because they were possessed with great fear. And he entered into a boat, and returned. 38 The man from whom the demons were gone out prayed him that he would be with him; but he sent him away, saying: 39 Return to your house, and declare the great things God has done for you. And he went his way, publishing through the whole city the great things Jesus had done for him. (Luke, VIII, 26-39). 51. “A Spirit does not enter into a body as you enter into a house. He likens himself to an incarnate Spirit who has the same defects and the same qualities as himself for acting together; but it is always the incarnate Spirit who acts as his want on the matter with which he is clothed. No Spirit can substitute himself in the place of the Spirit who is incarnated in a given body, for a Spirit is linked with his body until the times dated for the end of his material existence.” (473 of SB). The possession "is never done without the participation of this who suffers it , through his weakness or his desire." (474 of SB). Jesus talked to the Spirits again, to take them out of the obsessed to prove once again that is convenient to communicate to the impure spirits of men who were bad when they were alive. The Spirits scared the pigs, but they didn't enter inside them: “It is correct that the Spirits can become visible and touchable to the animals and, often, their sudden fright, whose cause you can't detect, is consequence of the vision of one or more Spirits, with bad intentions concerning to the persons around, or concerning to the owners of the animals.” (...) “The Mr. T..., it is said, magnetized his dog. What did he get? He killed the pet, because the unhappy animal died, after some kind of weakness (strengthless) due to its magnetization. In fact, he saturated it with a fluid obtained of an essence higher than the special essence of the nature of the dog, he crushed it, acting over the animal at the likeness of the ray, although more slowly” (Erastus, MB, 2¬ part, XXIII, 236). So, we will never encounter magnetized animals that attack men, or write with the paws or make intelligent noise under the influence of the Spirits. "'Didn't I say that to you? And you didn't do that: Didn't I show you the abyss ? And you precipitate yourself. Didn't I make you understand inside your conscience the voice of the truth? And didn't you follow the voice of the lie?' Ah! Question you guard angels;" (Saint Louis and Saint Augustine, 495 of SB). XX – Jesus wants mercy   20 He that will sacrifice to the gods, save to the unique Lord, will be dead. (Exodus, XXII, 20). 24 And my anger will light up, and I will kill you by the sword; and your wives will become widows, and your children fatherless. (Exodus, XXII, 24). 9 Jesus came from there and he saw a man, called Matthew , sitting at the tax bureau and he said to him: Follow me! And he arose, and followed him. 10 Then he sat at the table in the house, and many publicans and sinners came and sat down with Jesus and his disciples. 11 And when the pharisees saw it, they said to his disciples: Why does your Master eat with publicans and sinners? 12 But when he heard it, he said: The wholesome ones do not need of physician, but they that are sick does. 13 Go and learn what this means: I want mercy, and not sacrifice , for I did not come to call the just men to the regret, but the sinners. (Matthew, IX, 9-13). 13 He went to the sea side again; and all the multitude followed him, and he taught them. 14 when he was passing by, he saw Levi the son of Alphaeus sitting at the tax office , and he said to him: Follow me! And he arose and followed him. 15 He was sitting at the table in Levi's house, and many publicans and sinners sat down with Jesus and his disciples; because those were many and they followed him too. 16 And the scribes of the pharisees, when they saw that he was eating with the sinners and publicans, said to his disciples: How come does he eat and drink with publicans and sinners? 17 When Jesus heard it, he said to them: They that are wholesome does not need of physician, but they that are sick does. I came not to call the righteous, but sinners. (Mark, II, 13-17). 27 After these things he went out, and beheld a publican, named Levi , sitting at the place of toll , and said to him: Follow me! 28 He stood up and leaving everything followed him. 29 Then Levi made him a great banquet in his house; and there was a great multitude of publicans and others sitting at the table with them. 30 The pharisees and their scribes whispered against his disciples, saying: Why do you eat and drink with the publicans and sinners? 31 Jesus answered them: The health ones do not need of physician; but the sick ones do. 32 I did not come to call the righteous but sinners to repentance. (Luke, V, 27-32). 52. Jesus has no prejudice. He interlaces himself to the sinners, because these need more help than the just ones. He comes to cure and he doesn't ask us for sacrifices. The causes of our sickness are our sins. He wants mercy, love, pardon. Let us live our life in the best way it is possible without ill-uses. He doesn't want sacrifices of animals (holocausts) or ours. He doesn't expect that we torture ourselves in a cross. Let us make the good to ourselves and let us be optimistic. We must not to be sadistic, or masochistic. Jesus doesn't want that we look for suffering. We must to seek happiness. “Because God gave you intelligence and knowledge to share them with your brothers for advance on the life of eternal welfare and happiness.” (Saint Louis and Saint Augustine, 495 of SB). “It is convenient, by other manner, to open the door of sorrow to the criminal, and not to close it to him.” (761 of SB). “God has made man for living in society.” (766 of SB). “Man must progress; alone, he cannot, because, as he does not have all faculties, it is convenient to contact to other men. In isolation he becomes brutish and wilted.” (768 of SB). “God takes care Himself of all beings He has created, the most little they are; nothing is too much few for His kindness.” (963 of SB). XXI – Jesus and the magnetic passe   21 When Jesus had crossed over again in the boat to the other side, a great multitude was gathered to him; and he was by the sea. 22 One of the rulers of the synagogue came, his name: Jairus; and seeing him, he fell at his feet, 23 and begged to him much, saying: My little daughter is at the point of death. I pray you, come and set your hands above her , that she may be saved, and she will live. 24 He went with him. Great multitude followed him, and they compressed him. 25 And a woman, who had an hemorrhage for twelve years, 26 and had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, without getting better, but got worse, 27 having heard the things concerning Jesus, came inside the multitude after him, and touched his clothes. 28 Because she said: If I touch but his clothes, I will be made healthy. 29 And immediately the source of her blood was stanched; and she felt in her body that she was healed of her plague. 30 And straightway Jesus, perceiving in himself that the power proceeding from him had flowed out, turned him about in the multitude, and said: Who did touch my clothes? 31 His disciples said to him: You see the multitude compressing you, and do you say: Who did touch me? 32 He looked round about to see her that had done this thing. 33 But the woman fearing and trembling, knowing what had been done to her, came and fell down before him, and told him all the truth. 34 He said to her: Daughter, your faith had cured you; go in peace, and be far from the evil. 35 While he yet spoke, some of the ruler of the synagogue's house arrived saying: Your daughter is dead; why do you still trouble the Master? 36 But Jesus, not heeding the word spoken, said to the ruler of the synagogue: Don't fear, only believe. 37 But he didn't allow any man to follow him, save Peter, and the brothers James and John. 38 They arrived to the house of the ruler of the synagogue; and he beholds a tumult, and many weeping and wailing greatly. 39 When he was entered in, he said to them: Why do you make a tumult, and weep? The child is not dead, but sleeps. 40 They laughed him away. But he, having put them all out, took the father of the child and her mother and them that were with him, and went in where the child was. 41 Taking the child by the hand, he said to her: Talitha cumi! Which is, being interpreted: Girl, I order you, stand up! 42 Immediately the girl stood up, and walked; because she was twelve years old. And they were quite amazed. 43 But he ordered meaningful that no man could know this; and he commanded them to feed the girl. (Mark, V, 21-43). 40 As Jesus returned, the multitude welcomed him; because they were all waiting for him. 41 Behold came a man named Jairus, and he was a ruler of the synagogue, and he fell down at Jesus' feet, and implored him to come into his house. 42 For he had an only daughter, about twelve years of age, and she was dying. But as he went the multitudes compressed him. 43 A woman having an hemorrhage for twelve years, who had spent all her living upon physicians, and could not be healed by any, came behind him, and touched the border of his clothes, and immediately the hemorrhage stopped. 45 But Jesus said: Who did touch me? As all denied, Peter and they that were with him said: Master, the multitudes crush you and you say: who did touch me? 46 But Jesus said: Someone did touch me; for I perceived that power had flowed from me. 47 When the woman saw that she was not hidden, she came trembling, and falling down before him declared in the presence of all the people for what cause she touched him, and how she was healed immediately. 48 He said to her: Daughter, your faith has made you whole; go in peace. 49 While he spoke yet, one from the ruler of the synagogue's house came, saying: Your daughter is dead; do not trouble the Master anymore. 50 But Jesus hearing it, answered him: Do not fear; only believe, and she will be saved. 51 When he came to the house, he forbade any man to enter in with him, save Peter, John, James and the parents of the girl. 52 All were weeping, and bewailing her. But he said: Don't weep; she is not dead, but sleeps. 53 They laughed him a lot, knowing that she was dead. 54 But he, taking her by the hand, called, saying: Girl, stand up! 55 Her spirit returned, and she stood up immediately; and he commanded to feed her. 56 Her parents were amazed, but he ordered them to tell no man what had been done. (Luke, VIII, 40-56). 18 While he spoke these things to them, behold, a ruler came, and worshipped him, saying: My daughter died now; but come and put your hand over her , and she will live. 19 Jesus stood up, and followed him, and did also his disciples. 20 Behold, a woman, who had an issue of blood for twelve years, came behind him, and touched the border of his clothes; 21 for she said within herself: If I do touch his clothes, I will be cured. 22 But Jesus turned and saw her and said: Daughter, you have good soul; your faith has saved you . And the woman was made whole from that instant. 23 When Jesus came into the ruler's house, he saw the flute-players, and the crowd making a tumult. 24 He said: Give up, because the girl is not dead, but sleeps. And they laughed him away. 25 But when the crowd was put out, he entered in, and took her by the hand; and the girl stood up. 26 And the fame of this happening ran all that land. (Matthew, IX, 18-26). 53. The woman who had hemorrhage got cured not only because she received the nervous fluid of Jesus, but also because she had a good soul and the faith that she would be healed. “The magnetic power dwells, without doubt, inside man, but it is increased by the action of the Spirits who he calls to aid him. If you magnetize with the aim of healing, for example, and you invoke a good Spirit who has affection for you and for your patient, he raises your power and your will, he drives your fluid and give to it the essential qualities.” (MB, 2 ND part, XIV, 176, 2 ND ). Thus the best magnetizer acts as medium. “Would the owner of magnetic power act with more efficacy if he believed in the intervention of the Spirits? He would do things you would call miracle.” (MB, 2 ND part, XIV, 176, 4 TH ). “This genus of mediumistic quality consists, mainly, in the gift that certain persons have to cure by the simple touch, by the regard, or by a gesture, without help of any medicine. It will be said, without doubt, that it isn't more than magnetism. Evidently, the magnetic fluid plays an important part.” (MB, 2 ND part, XIV, 175). The girl wasn't dead. She was in lethargy. “In lethargy, the body is not dead, because there are functions that are accomplished.” (423 of SB). Jesus used his thought to apply a passe in the girl to make her awake of the lethargy. I really believe that the magnetic passe can function as the medical device of electric shock (defibrillation device) that makes the heart resuscitate (beat). The self-passe more used and more known is the sign of the cross: “God, our Lord, release us of our enemies by the sign of the Holy Cross”. 27 Jesus got out from there. Two blind men followed him, crying out: Have mercy on us, son of David! 28 When he was come into the house, the blind men came to him; and Jesus said to them: Do you believe that I am able to do this? They said to him: Yes, Lord! 29 Then he touched their eyes, saying: According to your faith be it done to you. 30 And their eyes were opened. And Jesus advised them severely, saying: Assure that no man knows it. 31 But they went out, and divulged his fame in all that land. 32 As they went out, behold, there was brought to him a dumb man possessed with a demon. 33 When the demon was cast out, the dumb man spoke; and the multitudes marveled, saying: It was never been seen in Israel! 34 But the pharisees said: He casts demons out by the prince of the demons. 35 Jesus went about all the cities and the villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of disease and all manner of sickness. (Matthew, IX, 27-35). 22 Then was brought to him one possessed with a demon, blind and dumb; and he healed him, such that the dumb man spoke and saw. 23 And all the multitudes were amazed, and said: Can this be the son of David? 24 But when the pharisees heard it, they whispered: This man does not cast out demons, but by Beelzebub the prince of the demons. 25 And knowing their thoughts he said to them: Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself will not stand. 26 If Satan casts Satan out, he is divided against himself; how then will his kingdom stand? 27 But if I cast demons out by Beelzebub, by who do your sons cast them out? Therefore they will be your judges. 28 But if I cast demons out by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God is come to you. 29 Or how can one enter into the house of the strong man, and rob his goods, except if he first ties his hands? And then he will sack his house. 30 The one who is not for me is against me; and the one who doesn't unite to me, scatters. 31 Therefore I say to you: Every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven to men; but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven. 32 And whoever will speak a word against the Son of man, it will be forgiven to him; but whoever will speak against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven to him, neither in this world, nor in the beyond (future). (Matthew, XII, 22-32). 20 Then he went home. But the multitude came together again, so they could not even eat. 21 And when his relatives heard it, they went out to arrest him, because they said: He is out of his mind. 22 The scribes that came down from Jerusalem said: He has Beelzebub. And, he casts the demons out by the prince of the demons. 23 He called them to him, and said to them in parables: How can Satan cast out Satan? 24 If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. 25 If a house is divided against itself, that house will not be able to stand. 26 If Satan has risen up against himself, and is divided, he cannot stand, but has to end. 27 None can enter into the house of the valiant man to rob his goods, except he first tie his hands; and then he will spoil his house. 28 Truly I say to you: All their sins will be forgiven to the sons of men , and their sins and the blaspheme they will say. 29 But whoever will blaspheme against the Holy Spirit has never forgiveness, but is guilty of an eternal sin. 30 Because they said: He has an unclean spirit. (Mark, III, 20-30). 14 And he was casting out a demon that was dumb. When the demon was gone out, the dumb man spoke; and the multitudes marveled. 15 But some of them said: He casts demons out by Beelzebub the prince of the demons. 16 And others, trying him, asked of him a sign from heaven. 17 But he, knowing their thoughts, said to them: Every kingdom divided against itself will be on desolation; and a house divided against a house will fall down. 18 If Satan also is divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand? Because you say that I cast demons out by Beelzebub. 19 If I cast demons out by Beelzebub, by who do your sons cast them out? Therefore they will be your judges. 20 But if I cast demons out by the finger of God, then the kingdom of God is come to you. 21 When the valiant man fully armed guards his own house, his goods are in peace. 22 But when a stronger than he will come over him, and defeats him, he takes from him his whole armor in what he trusted, and divides his spoils. 23 He that is not with me is against me; and he that doesn't unite to me scatters. (Luke, XI, 14-23). 10 Whoever speak a word against the Son of man, it will be forgiven by him. But he that blasphemes against the Holy Spirit he will not be forgiven. (Luke, XII, 10). 54. Jesus cured the blind men through his magnetism, but the dumb was cured because of the expelling of the obsessing Spirit, which was dumb and was transmitting his sickness to the medium. Jesus ordered the blind men not to publish the good He has done. “Did the handicaps (that we tried to bring to the freedom of the manifestations) decompose them and suffocate? No; because it would produce the effect of all persecutions: that of exciting curiosity, and the desire to know this what will be defended.” (Allan Kardec, VI of the conclusion of SB). But the blind ones published and provoked the envy of the pharisees who didn't know to heal. Many times it happens in the Spiritist Associations. People of different religions say that the spiritists cure and talk to the obsessing Spirits as work of the devil. Thus, does the devil do the good? Many times, during the expelling of the obsessing spirits, the bad and valiant Spirit is taken with his tied hands by devils and against his will to the Spiritist Association to be indoctrinated. It is enough to have faith in the Spirits who are responsible by the fluidic protection of the ambient resources (goblins), that they will do this work. “To this class belongs the spirits vulgarly called by the names of hobgoblin, bogyman, gnome, fairy, elf. They are under dependence of high spirits, who often employ them as we make to our servants. In their communications with men their language is often something spiritual and funny, but almost always superficial.” (103 of SB). Careful! Sons of the men, do not blaspheme against Jesus, Holy Spirit. 11 In the next day he went to a city called Nain; and his disciples went with him, and a great multitude. 12 Now when he arrives near to the gate of the city, behold, there was carried out one that was dead, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow; and much people of the city was with her. 13 When the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her, and said to her: Do not weep! 14 He came and touched the casket and stopping the porters he said: Young man, I order you: stand up! 15 And he that was dead sat up, and began to speak. And he gave him to his mother. 16 They became fearful and they glorified God, saying: A great prophet is arisen among us; and, God has visited his people. 17 These news about him was divulged in the whole of Judaea, and all the region round about. (Luke, VII, 11-17). XXII – Jesus and the saturday   9 Six days you will work, and you will do all your actions. 10 But the seventh day is the saturday of the Lord, your God; in it you will not do any work, nor your son, nor your daughter, your man-servant, nor your maid-servant, nor your animal, nor your foreigner who is inside your doors. 11 Because the Lord made heaven and earth in six days: the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day; thus the Lord blessed the saturday, and hallowed it. (Exodus, XX, 9-11). 12 Observe the saturday, to keep it holy, as the Lord, your God, commanded. 13 Six days you will work, and you will do all your work. 14 But the seventh day is a Saturday to the Lord, your God; in it you will not do any work, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your man-servant, nor your maid-servant, nor your ox, nor your donkey, nor any animal of yours, nor your foreigner who is in your doors; that your servant rests as you. 15 You will remember that you was a servant in the land of Egypt, and the Lord your God brought you out from there by a mighty hand and by an outstretched arm; thus the Lord, your God, commanded you to keep the Saturday. (Deuteronomy, V, 12-15). 2 David said to Ahimelech, the priest: The king has commanded me a business, and has said to me: Let no man know anything of the business about I send you, and what I have commanded you; and I dated to meet the young men to such and such a place. 3 Now what do you have under your hand? Give me five breads or whatever there is present. 4 And the priest answered David, and said: There is no common bread under my hand, but there is holy bread; if only the young men have kept themselves from women. 5 And David answered the priest, and said to him: Yes, as always, when I came out, women have been kept from us about these three days, the bodies of the young men are holy. Though it was but a common journey; how much will their bodies be holy more than today? 6 So the priest gave him holy bread; because there was no bread there but the showbread, that was taken from before the Lord, to put hot bread in the day when it was taken away. (I Samuel, XXI, 2-6). 32 And some of their brothers, of the sons of the Kohathites, had the work of preparing the showbread every saturday. (I Chronicles, IX, 32). 33 for the showbread, and for the continual meal-offering, and for the continual sacrifices for the saturdays, for the new moons, for the set feasts, and for the holy things, and for the sin-offerings to make atonement for Israel, and for all the work of the house of our God. (Nehemiah, X, 33). 1 At that season Jesus went on the saturday through the grainfields. His disciples were hungry and began to pick spikes and to eat. 2 But the pharisees, when they saw it, said to him: Behold, your disciples do that which it is not lawful to do on the saturday. 3 But he said to them: Don't you read what David did, when he was hungry, and they that were with him? 4 How he entered into the house of God, and ate the showbread, which it was not lawful for him to eat, neither for them that were with him, but only for the priests? 5 Or didn't you read in the law, that on the saturday the priests in the temple violate the saturday, and are guiltless? 6 But I say to you: Here is the one who is greater than the temple. 7 But if you had known what this means: I want mercy and not sacrifices ; you wouldn't have condemned the innocent. 8 Because the Son of man is the Lord of the Saturday. (Matthew, XII, 1-8). 23 He was going on the saturday through the grainfields; and his disciples began, as they went, to pluck the spikes. 24 The pharisees advised him: Behold, why do they that which is not lawful on the saturday? 25 And he said to them: Did you never read what David did, when he had need, and was hungry, he, and they that were with him? 26 How he entered into the house of God when Abiathar was high priest, and ate the showbread, which it is not lawful to eat save for the priests, and gave also to them that were with him? 27 And he said to them: The Saturday was made for man, and not man for the saturday; 28 so the Son of man is Lord even of the saturday. (Mark, II, 23-28). 1 It happened on a Saturday: he was going through the grainfields; and his disciples plucked the ears, and ate, threshing them in their hands. 2 But certain of the pharisees said: Why do you do what is not lawful on the saturday? 3 Jesus answering them: Haven't you read what David did, when he was hungry, he, and they that were with him? 4 How he entered in the house of God, and took and ate the showbread, and gave also to them that were with him; which it is not lawful to eat save for the priests alone? 5 He said to them: The Son of man is Lord of the Saturday. (Luke, VI, 1-5). 55. “What is the limit of the work? The limit of strength; besides, God sets the man free.” (683 of SB). “Rest serves to restore the bodily powers and is also necessary in order to give fewer freedom to the intelligence for standing up over the matter.” (682 of SB). The spiritist doctrine doesn't fix day, neither hour to work or to rest, but both must there be. “What is to be thought of those who misuse their authority for imposing excess of work to their inferiors? That is one of the worst crimes. Every man that has the might of commanding is responsible for the excess of work which he imposes to his inferiors, for he transgresses the law of God.” (684 of SB). “Has the man the right to repose in old age? Yes; he is obliged only according to his strength.” (685 of SB). “But what resource has the elder who needs to work to live, but who can't anymore? The strong must to work to the weak; in the lack of the family, the society must replace it. It is the law of charity.” (685, a, of SB). “The social insurance will be paid by the whole society,” (article 195, caput , of the Brazilian Federal Constitution). “The social welfare will be organized in the form of general regime, with contributive character and obligatory affiliation,” (article 201, caput , of the Brazilian Federal Constitution). Give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar (Matthew, XXII, 21). "Alimony are a obligation when the relative, which intend it, has no assets, neither can provide, by his work, his own maintenance, and the person, whom he complain, can supply it, without defalcation of the necessary to his own maintenance." (article 399 of the Brazilian Civil Code). "The social assistance will be paid to whom needs it, independently of contribution to the public social insurance , and it has for aims: (...) V – the guaranty of a minimum wage of monthly benefit to the person carrying a deficiency and to the elderly ones who prove they don't have means to provide their own maintenance or been provided by his family, according to the dispositions of the law." (article 203, caput and item V, of the Brazilian Federal Constitution). This benefit (to residents in Brazil) must be requested by the elder who doesn't have retirement, neither family to support him or by the physical or mental deficient one (carrying especial needs) to the Brazilian National Institute of Social Insurance. 1 He entered again in the synagogue; and there was a man there who had his hand withered. 2 They watched him, whether he would heal him on the saturday; that they would accuse him. 3 He said to the man that had his hand withered: Come to the middle! 4 He said to them: Is it lawful to do good, or to do harm on the saturday? Save a life, or to kill? But they shut up. 5 When he had looked round about on their anger, being resented by the hard of their hearts, he said to the man: Open your hand. He opened his hand. The hand was restored. 6 The pharisees went out, and they were plotting with the herodians against him, how they would kill him . 7 Jesus with his disciples went to the sea. A great multitude from Galilee followed; and from Judaea, 8 and from Jerusalem, and from Idumaea, and beyond the Jordan, and about Tyre and Sidon, a great multitude, knowing what great things he did, they came to him. 9 He spoke to his disciples, that a little boat would wait for him because of the crowd, to avoid they would compress him. 10 Because he had healed many; such that as they had sickness they ventured to touch him. 11 Even the unclean spirits, whenever they saw him, fell down before him, and cried, saying: You are the Son of God! 12 But Jesus advised severely not to publish him. (Mark, III, 1-12). 9 He departed from there, and went into their synagogue: 10 there was a man having a withered hand. They asked him, saying: Is it lawful to heal on the saturday? So they could accuse him. 11 And he said to them: Which man among of you, that having one sheep, and if this fall into a pit on the saturday, will you not endeavor to set it out from there? 12 How much does a man value more than a sheep!? So it is lawful to do good on the saturday. 13 Then he said to the man: Open your hand. And he opened it; and it was restored whole, as the other. 14 But the pharisees went out, and plotted against him, how they would destroy him. 15 Jesus perceiving it get out from there. Many followed him; and he healed them all, 16 but he advised them that they couldn't comment what he had done; 17 in order to fulfill which was spoken through Isaiah the prophet: 18 Behold , my servant whom I have chosen; My beloved in whom my soul is well pleased: I will put my Spirit over him, and he will declare judgment to the foreigners . 19 He will not contend, nor cry aloud; neither any one will hear his voice on the public squares . 20 He will not smash the broken cane. He will not extinguish the smoking wick, till he will become the judgment a winner . 21 And in his name the foreigners will hope . (Matthew, XII, 9-21). 1 Behold, my servant, whom I support; my chosen, in whom my soul delights. I have put my Spirit over him; he will bring justice to the foreigners. 2 He will not cry, nor cry his voice, nor he will be heard in the public square. 3 He will not squash the broken reed; he will not quench the burning wick; he will promulgate the law. 4 He will be discouraged or break, till he has set justice in the earth; and the islands will wait for his law. (Isaiah, XLII, 1-4). 6 It happened on another saturday, that he entered into the synagogue and taught. There was a man there, and his right hand was withered. 7 The scribes and the pharisees watched him, whether he would heal on the saturday; that they would find how to accuse him. 8 But he knew their thoughts; and he said to the man that had his hand withered: Stand up and come to the middle. And he arose and stood up. 9 Jesus said to them: I ask you: Is it lawful to do good, or to do harm on the saturday? To save a life, or to destroy it? 10 He looked round about on them all, and said to him: Open your hand. And he did so: and his hand was restored. 11 But they were filled with madness; and discussed one with another what they would do to Jesus. (Luke, VI, 6-11). 56. Jesus used his magnetism to cure in a saturday and then the pharisees wanted to kill him, because he had violated the saturday. Jesus had offended the third commandment of the law of Moses and the punishment was the death! Jesus still interdicted them to publish or comment His works, because it was written that He would do that. We must never publish the good we do: “It is convenient to do the good for charity, it means, disinterestedly.” (897 of SB). The law of Moses was reasonably correct. Many people doesn't use do do the good in the day of the weekly rest. They don't follow the example of Jesus who in any moment does only what is good. When they they are unoccupied they seek the evil to do. They fall in the dissolute life, abuse of the alcoholic beverage, of the musics, of the narcotics; they spend nights without sleeping and practice all the vices. Thus they got sick and after a long time they suffer painful deaths. So the Decalogue is correct. It is not necessary to kill the one who violates the Decalogue, for the one who violates the Decalogue surely practices suicide. 10 He was teaching in one of the synagogues on the saturday. 11 Came a woman that had a spirit of infirmity for eighteen years; and she walked curved, and she could no wise straighten herself. 12 When Jesus saw her, he called her, and said to her: Woman, you are free of your infirmity. 13 And he set his hands over her; and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God. 14 The ruler of the synagogue, being moved with indignation because Jesus had healed on the saturday said to the multitude: There are six days in which men must work; come in them and be healed, and not on the day of the saturday. 15 But the Lord said: Hypocrites, doesn't each one of you loose your ox or your donkey from the trough on the saturday, and lead it to drink water? 16 Why wouldn't I loose of the slavery of Satan on the day of the saturday, this daughter of Abraham, who was arrested for eighteen years? 17 When he said these words: All his adversaries were ashamed. But the multitude rejoiced for all the glorious things that were done by him. (Luke, XIII, 10-17). 1 After these things there was a feast of the jews; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. 2 Now there is in Jerusalem by the Sheep Door a pool, which is called in hebrew: Bethesda, having five pavilions. 3 In these there was a multitude of them that were sick, blind, lame, paralytic 4 expecting that the water moved. Because an angel descended in certain time, shaking the water; and the first one that entered into the pool after the shaking, was cured of any sickness. 5 There was a man, who had been sick for eight years. 6 When Jesus saw him lying, and knew that he had been now a long time in that case, he said to him: Do you want to be cured? 7 The sick man answered him: Sir, I have no man, when the water is shaken, to put me into the pool; but while I am coming, another comes in before me. 8 Jesus said to him: Stand up, take your bed, and walk. 9 Straightway the man was healed, and took his bed and walked. Now it was the saturday that day. 10 So the jews said to him that was cured: It is the saturday, and it is not lawful for you to take your bed. 11 But he answered them: The same that cured me said: Take your bed, and walk. 12 They asked him: Who is the man that said to you: Take up your bed, and walk? 13 But he that was healed didn't know who it was; because Jesus had gotten out for there was a multitude in the place. 14 Latter Jesus found him in the temple, and said to him: You are cured: don't sin anymore, for that something worse does not happen to you. 15 The man went away, and told the jews that he was Jesus who had cured him. 16 then the jews persecuted Jesus, because he did these things on the saturday. 17 But Jesus answered them: My Father works until now, and I work too . 18 For this cause, so, the jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only broke the saturday, but he also called God his own Father, making himself equal to God. (John, V, 1-18). 1 When he went into the house of one of the rulers of the pharisees on a saturday to eat bread, and they were watching him. 2 There was before him a certain man that had the dropsy (he accumulated a liquid like serum in some hollows). 3 Then Jesus answering to the interpreters of the law and pharisees said: Is it lawful to heal on the saturday, or not? 4 But they said nothing. And he took him, and healed him, and let him go. 5 then he said to them: Which of you having a son or an ox, if he fall down into a well, will you take him out immediately on a saturday? 6 They could not answer again to these things. (Luke, XIV, 1-6). XXIII – Jesus declares Himself Son of God and equal to God   17 But Jesus answered them: My Father work until now, and I work too. 18 For this cause, so, the jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only broke the saturday, but he also called God his own Father, making himself equal to God. 19 Then Jesus said to them: Truly, truly I say to you that the Son can't do anything by himself, but he does only what he sees the Father doing; because everything this does, the Son will do similarly. 20 Because the Father loves the Son, and shows him all things that himself does; and greater works than these he will show him, that you will marvel. 21 For as the Father resuscitates the deads and gives them life, in the same way the Son also give life to whom he want. 22 And the Father doesn't judge any man, but he has given all judgment to the Son; 23 in order to all will honor the Son, as they honor the Father. He that doesn't honor the Son, he doesn't honor the Father that sent him. 24 Truly, truly, I say to you: He that hears my word, and believes in him that sent me, has eternal life, and doesn't come into judgment, but has passed from death to life. 25 Truly, truly, I say to you: The hour comes, and is now, when the deads will listen to the voice of the Son of God; and they that hear will live. 26 Because as the Father is alive himself, he also allowed the Son to be alived himself. 27 And he gave him authority to judge, because he is a Son of Man. 28 Do not marvel about this; because the hour comes, in which all that are in the graves will hear his voice, and they will come out: 29 they that have done good, to the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, to the resurrection of judgment. 30 I can do nothing by myself; as I hear, I judge. And my judgment is just; because I don't seek my own will, but the will of him that sent me. 31 If I witness about myself, my witness is not true. 32 It is another that witnesses about me; and I know that the witness which he witnesses about me is true. 33 You have sent messengers to John, and he has witnessed the truth. 34 But my witness is not this man: but I say these things, for you will be saved. 35 He was the lamp that burned and shone; and you were willing to rejoice for a while in his light. 36 But the witness which I have is greater than that of John; because the works which the Father has given me to accomplish, these works that I do witnesses about me, that the Father has sent me. 37 The Father who sent me, he has witnessed about me. You have never heard his voice, nor seen his form. 38 And you have not his word inside you; because you don't believe in him whom he sent. 39 Research the scriptures, because you judge that in them you have eternal life; but these are they, which witness about me. 40 However you don't want to come to me to have life. 41 I am not glorified by the men. 42 But I know that you don't have the love for God in yourselves. 43 I came in the name of my Father, and you don't receive me; but if another will come in his own name, you will receive him. 44 You receive glory one from another, how come you do believe one in another, but don't you seek the glory from the unique God? 45 Don't think that I will accuse you before the Father; there is one that accuses you: Moses, in whom you have set your trust. 46 Because if you believed in Moses, you would believe on me; because he wrote about me. 47 But if you don't believe in his writings, how will you believe in my words? (John, V, 17-47). 57. Jesus declares that the Father has life because the Father is another pure Spirit like Him, the Father is alive! Perhaps He is the angel Gabriel, who has announced Him to Mary. God is an alive God, because he has life as we have life. We are sons of the man and sons of God. Each one of us will enter to the to the divine unity, becoming Holy Spirits. "Consequently the love among men recommended by Christ will be increased between them. They will thus have obeyed the law of love and union imposed on all the beings of the universe; the Divine Law must drive to the unity (union): the aim and end of the Spirit." (665 of SB). “God is unique. If there were several Gods, there wouldn't be unity of sight nor unity of might in the holy orders of the universe.” (Allan Kardec, 13 of SB). "Where do we see inside the primary cause a Supreme Intelligence and higher than all other intelligences? You have a proverb, which says this: 'By the work we recognize the worker.' Oh! Well! Regard the work and seek the worker." (9 of SB). XXIV – The mission of the apostles   35 And Jesus went about all the cities and the villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of disease and all manner of sickness. 36 But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion for them, because they were afflicted and exhausted, as sheep without shepherd. 37 Then he said to his disciples: The grainfield is abundant in truth, but the workers are few. 38 Pray, so, the Lord of the harvest, that he send workers to his crop. 1 And he called to him his twelve disciples, and gave them authority over unclean spirits, to expel them, and to heal all kind of disease and sickness. 2 Now the names of the twelve apostles are these: The first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother; 3 Philip, and Bartholomew; Thomas, and Matthew (or Levi – the author) the publican; James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus (or Jude – the author); 4 Simon the Cananaean (the Zealot), and Judas Iscariot, the one who betrayed him. 5 Jesus sent these twelve, and taught them: Don't go to the foreigners, and do not enter into cities of the samaritans; 6 but preferably go to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. 7 And as you go, preach, saying: The kingdom of heaven is arrived. 8 Heal the sick, resuscitate the dead, purify the lepers, cast out demons; you received gratuitously, you give gratuitously . (Matthew, IX, 35 to X, 8). 7 And he called to him the twelve, and began to send them two by two; and he gave them authority over the unclean spirits. (Mark, VI, 7). 13 Then he went up to the mount, and called to him who he himself wanted; and they came to him. 14 He named twelve to be with him, and to send them to preach, 15 and to have authority to cast out demons. 16 They were: Simon to whom he added Peter (means stone); 17 and James the son of Zebedee, and John the brother of James; to these he added Boanerges, which means: sons of thunder; 18 Andrew, and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew (or Levi), and Thomas, and James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus (or Jude), and Simon the Cananaean (the Zealot), 19 and Judas Iscariot, the one who betrayed him. (Mark, III, 13-19). 12 In these days, he went out to the mount to pray; and he passed all night praying to God. 13 And when it was day, he called his disciples; and he chose twelve among them, whom he also named apostles: 14 Simon, whom he also named Peter (means stone), and Andrew his brother; and James and John, and Philip and Bartholomew, 15 and Matthew (or Levi) and Thomas; and James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon who was called the Zealot (the Cananaean), 16 and Judas the son of James ( brother of James – Jude, I, 1 – or Thaddaeus), and Judas Iscariot, who became a traitor. (Luke, VI, 12-16). 1 After these things the Lord named seventy others ; and sent them two and two before his face into every city and place, where he himself was about to come. 2 And he said to them: The harvest is really plenteous, but the workers are few. Pray, so, to the Lord of the grainfield that he sends workers to his crop. (Luke, X, 1-2). 16 He that listen to you hears me; and he that rejects you rejects me; and he that rejects me rejects him that sent me. 17 then the seventy returned with joy, saying: Lord, even the demons are subject to us in your name! 18 But he said to them: I saw Satan falling as lightning from heaven. 19 Behold, I have given you authority to step on snakes and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy; and nothing will in any wise hurt you. 20 Nevertheless don't rejoice cause the spirits are subject to you; but rejoice that your names are written in heaven. (Luke, X, 16-20). 58. Jesus asked his eighty-two disciples to cure and to expel obsessive spirits gratuitously. There are religious ones of other cults who collect the tithe just after the exorcism. The spiritist must not to charge his mediumistic quality. Behold Francisco Cândido Xavier has never spent for himself neither a cent of the copyright of the books he has psychographed. Bezerra de Menezes, brazilian federal deputy, president of the Brazilian Spiritist Federation, doesn't charge the paupers while he was practicing medicine and he often used to give medicines to them. Probably Jesus chose his apostles because he judged they were able to preach the gospel, heal sickness and cast demons out gratuitously. “Now what they had received gratuitously was the faculty of healing those who were sick, and that of expelling devils, that is to say bad spirits.” (Allan Kardec, GAS, XXVI, 2). 9 Do not carry gold, nor silver, nor brass in your belts; 10 neither saddlebag for your journey, neither two coats, nor sandals, nor crook; because the worker is worthy of his food . 11 And in any city or village you will enter, question who is worthy in it; and there you will lodge till you go away . 12 While you enter into the house, salute it; 13 if the house is worthy, let your peace come over it; but if it is not worthy, let your peace be back to you. 14 If someone doesn't lodge you , neither listen to your words, while you go out of that house or that city, shake out the dust of your feet . 15 Truly I say to you, it will there be less severity for Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment, than for that city. 16 Behold, I send you as sheep in the middle of wolves; be, so, judicious as snakes , and innocent as pigeons. 23 When they persecute you in this city, run away to the next; because truly I say to you that you will not go through the cities of Israel, till the Son of man be come. 38 And he that does not take his cross and follow after me, is not worthy of me. 39 He that loves his life will lose it; and he that loses his life for my cause will find it. 40 He that receives you receives me, and he that receives me receives him that sent me. 41 He that receives a prophet in the name of a prophet will receive a prophet's reward; and he that receives a just man in the character of a just man will receive a just man's reward. 42 And whoever will give to drink to one of these little ones a cup of cold water only, because he is my disciple , truly I say to you he will not lose his reward absolutely. (Matthew, X, 9-16, 23 e 38-42). 1 He called the twelve together, and gave them might and authority over all demons, and to cure diseases. 2 He sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick. 3 He said to them: Take nothing for your journey, neither staff, nor knapsack, nor bread, nor money; neither have two coats. 4 Whatever house you enter, there you will lodge and from there you will go away . 5 Wherever they don't lodge you , when you go out from that city, shake out the dust of your feet for a witness against them . 6 They departed, and went through all the villages, preaching the gospel, and healing everywhere. (Luke, IX, 1-6). 3 Take your way! Behold, I send you as lambs in the middle of wolves. 4 Don't carry handbag, or saddlebag, or sandals; and don't salute any man on the way. 5 While you go inside any house you will say first: Peace for this house! 6 If a son of peace there is, your peace will rest over him; but if not, your peace will turn to you again. 7 And in that same house you will remain lodged, eating and drinking such things as they have ; because the worker is worthy of his salary . Don't go from house to house. 8 Whatever city you enter, and they lodge you, eat such things as they set before you . 9 Heal the sick that there is, and say to them: The kingdom of God is coming to you. 10 But whatever city you will enter, and they don't lodge you, go out to the streets and say: 11 Even the dust of your city that glued to our feet, we shake out against you. Nevertheless, know this that the kingdom of God is coming. 12 I say to you, it will be less severity in that day for Sodom, than for that city. 13 Ouch! Of you Chorazin! Ouch! Of you Bethsaida! Because if the mighty works, which were done in you, had been done in Tyre and Sidon, these would have regretted long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes. 14 But it will there be more less severity for Tyre and Sidon in the judgment, than for you. 15 And you, Capernaum, you will be exalted to heaven? You will be brought down to Hades . (the hell in greek; read "The Odyssey" of the greek Homero). 16 He that listen to you hears me; and he that rejects you rejects me; and he that rejects me rejects him that sent me. 17 Then the seventy returned with joy, saying: Lord, even the demons are subject to us by your name! 18 But he said to them: I saw Satan falling as lightning from heaven. 19 Behold, I have given you authority to step on snakes and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy; and nothing will any way hurt you. 20 Nevertheless, don't rejoice because the spirits are subject to you; but rejoice because your names are written in heaven. (Luke, X, 3-20). 8 He ordered them that they would take nothing for their journey, save a staff only; no bread, no bag, no money in their handbag; 9 but to go wearing sandals and not to put two coats on. 10 He advised them: Whenever you enter into a house, there you will lodge till you depart from there . 11 Wherever they don't lodge you , nor listen to you, as you go out from there, shake out the dust that is under your feet for a witness against them. 12 Then they went out, and preached that people would regret. 13 They cast out many demons, and healed the sick ones anointing them with oil. (Mark, VI, 8-13). 20 Then he began to rebuke the cities where the most of his mighty works were done, because they didn't sorrow. 21 Ouch! Of you Chorazin! Ouch! Of you Bethsaida! Because if the mighty works which were done in you, had been done in Tyre and Sidon these would have regretted long ago in sackcloth and ashes. 22 But I say to you, it will be less severity for Tyre and Sidon in the day of judgment than for you. 23 And you, Capernaum, will you be exalted to heaven? You will go down to Hades (the hell in greek, read "The Odyssey" of the greek Homero); because if the mighty works which were done in you, had been done in Sodom this would have remained until this day. 24 But I say to you that it will be less severity for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment, than for you. (Matthew, XI, 20-24). 59. Jesus ask the disciples not to carry money, because if they do that, they will spend the money and they will attract the envy of others who will beg alms or your things or they will rob you. If you dress luxuriously, you will attract greedy ones, which will also rob you. The mediumistic quality is a gratuitous gift of God and, therefore, must be given gratuitously. Are you physician? Do you cure the sick ones? Do you expel the obsessive spirits? Do you know to preach judiciously the Gospel? Do you have ostensive mediumistic quality? Are you disciples, apostles, prophets of Jesus with righteous character and wisdom? The work dignifies the man. The work done in the name of Jesus is always worthy. Jesus ordered the disciples to visit the worthy persons not the richest ones, because those would lodge well. Unworthy persons wouldn't lodge them. Besides, it is necessary to be worthy to be cured. It is necessary to have a good soul. The one who is not sorrow of his sins, perfecting himself, is not healed. The disciples of Jesus must never oblige anyone to lodge them. If someone don't want to lodge them, they must his back to him, shake the dust of the feet and go away. The disciples must be judicious like snakes, which crawl themselves in the ground: these can't fall down from the up of their pride. The disciple must be modest and innocent as pigeons, which eat the cereal, which is given to them. To take the cross is not to suffer; it is to preach the Gospel, to do exorcisms and cures. It is to follow the Way of Jesus. Everyone who has his body dead for the cause of Jesus will find merit as Spirit. Everyone who lodges a disciple of Jesus will have his worthiness. 17 Careful! About the men; because they will deliver you to the courts, and they will whip you in theirs synagogues; 18 you will be brought before governors and kings because of my cause, to be witnesses to them and to the foreigners. 19 But when they deliver you, do not be anxious how or what you will speak, because it will be dictated to you in that hour what you will speak. 20 Because it is not you that speak, but the Spirit of your Father that speaks in you . 22 And you will be hated by all men because of my name; but he that perseveres until the end, the same will be saved. 23 When they persecute you in a city, run away to the next; because truly I say to you that you will not have gone through the cities of Israel, till the Son of man be come. 24 The disciple is not above his Master, nor a servant above his Lord. 25 It is enough to the disciple that he is equal to his Master, and the servant equal to his Lord. If they have persecuted the Master of the house naming him Beelzebub, what will they do to his household! 32 Therefore, whoever will confess me before men, I will also confess him before my Father who is in heaven. 33 But whoever will deny me before men, I will also deny him before my Father who is in heaven. (Matthew, X, 17-20, 22-25, 32-33). 8 I also say to you: Every one who will confess me before men, the Son of man will also confess him before the angels of God; 9 but he that denies me in the presence of men will be denied in the presence of the angels of God. 10 Every one who will speak a word against the Son of man, it will be forgiven by him; but he that blasphemes against the Holy Spirit it will not be forgiven. 11 While they bring you before the synagogues, and the rulers, and the authorities, don't be worried about how or what you will answer, or what you will say. 12 Because the Holy Spirit will teach you in that exact hour what you must say . (Luke, XII, 8-12). 60. What Jesus predicted was right. The apostle Paul reached the Caesar of the Roman Empire because he preached the Christ. When we are delivered to the justice, we must not to deal with the lawyers what we must say. We must say mediumisticaly what will be dictated by the Spirits. Everyone who defends the Christ is hated, because the disciples of Jesus are against selfishness, pride, acquisitiveness, the seven capital sins, etc. We are all equal before the law. The servant or the disciple is not greater, neither lesser than his Master or Lord. We must endeavor to be equal to the Lord. If Jesus was persecuted and crucified, why will they not do the same to his disciples? Everyone who confesses to be disciple of the Christ will be worthy in the sphere of the Spirits. Certainly the spiritists will be called followers of Beelzebub continually because they doctrine the bad spirits. 21 And the brother will deliver his brother to death, and the father his child; and the children will rebel against their parents, and they will kill them. 34 Don't think that I came to bring peace on the earth; I didn't come to bring the peace, but the sword. 35 For I came to set discussion between the man against his father; and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law. 36 So, the enemies of the man will be their familiars. 37 He that loves his father or his mother more than me is not worthy of me; and he that loves his son or his daughter more than me is not worthy of me. (Matthew, X, 21, 34-37). 49 I came to cast fire on the earth; and what do I want more, if it is already inflamed? 50 But I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how I anguish myself till it is accomplished! 51 Do you think that I came to give peace to earth? I tell you: No; but division. 52 Because, from now on there will be five divided in one house: three against two, and two against three. 53 They will be divided: father against son, and son against father; mother against daughter, and daughter against her mother; mother in law against her daughter in law, and daughter in law against her mother in law. (Luke, XII, 49-53). 61. “The succession of the corporal existences established among spirits has links which are armed in your preceding existences;” (204 of SB). Many times Jesus sets in the same family of flesh the enemies of past lives, in order to they learn to love each other. “Do not despise the opinion of your enemies, for they have no interest in dissimulating the truth, and God often places them beside you as a mirror, to warn you more frankly than it would be done by a friend.” (Saint Augustine, 919 of SB). “Why are there mothers who hate their children and this often since their birth? It is sometimes a proof chosen by the Spirit of the child, or a expiation, if he was himself a bad father or a bad mother, or bad son, in other existence.” (891 of SB). Our genetic familiars of today can be our enemies of the past. We must love the neighbor and who are nearer than our familiars? “They can turn the Spirit of the child (which they made to be born and which is confided in them). It is their duty. The bad children are a proof for the parents.” (210 of SB). “To the eyes of certain persons, it seems that the doctrine of reincarnation destroys the links of family, making them arm until the beyond of the present existence. It extends them, but it doesn't destroy them. The relationship been founded in acid preceding affections becomes the links which unites the members of the same family less precarious. It increases the duties of fraternity,” (205 of SB). “It is not a rule that twins are sympathetic spirits. Bad spirits can want to fight together over the theater of the life.” (213 of SB). “Those of the same order meet themselves by a kind of rapport, and form groups or families of spirits united by sympathy and the goal they objectify: the good for the desire of doing the good, the bad for the desire to do the evil, the shame of their sins, and the necessity of to be among those who are alike them.” (278 of SB). There are entire nations of warlike people, which attract themselves by the desire of practicing the revenge together. “What is the future destiny of the souls who animate these races? They will arrive to the perfection like all others by passing through other existences. God doesn't disinherit none.” (787, a, of SB). “But the regions inhabited by the good are interdict to the imperfect spirits, in order those can't bring to there the trouble of the bad passions.” (279 of SB). Many times the displeasures that the sons cause to the parents “are often the sequence of bad habits that they allowed their children to seize since the cradle; they harvest so theses that they had been sowing.” (892 of SB). “That who is maculate remains in isolation, or is surrounded by spirits similar to him: it is a punishment.” (289 of SB). “The endeavors ( sic ellorts) that we made to civilize ( sic ciuilize) a people have the power ( sic pouer), not to turn imperfect souls better, but to make to create by God the souls more perfect .” (Allan Kardec, 789 of SB). “From the discord are born all the harms of the human beings; from the harmony results the complete happiness.” (298 of SB). “God sets the child under the tutelage of his parents, for that these drive that in the way of the good; and He facilitated their task by giving to the child a fragile and delicate organization, that turns him accessible to all kind of impressions. But they must not to occupy more in straighten the trees of their gardens, and to make them produce a lot of good fruits, but they must to straighten the character of their children.” (582 of SB). “Social links are necessary to the progress and the familiar links straiten the social links. There it is! The cause why the familiar links are a law of nature. God has wanted that men learned this way to love themselves as the brothers.” (774 of SB). “Which would be the result of the loosening of the familiar links for the society? An increase of the selfishness.” (775 of SB). “Nature gave to the mother the love of her children in the interest of their conservation. But in the house of the animals this love is limited to the material necessities; it ceases when these cares are become useless. In the house of the man, it persists all the life, and compose a devotion and abnegation which are a virtue; it does survive to death, and follows the child beyond the tomb; you see well that there is in this love another thing that there is in the house of the animal.” (890 of SB). The parents must create their children with altruism (charity, otherism, selfless) because among parents and children there is a contract of reciprocity. The parents give the life to the child and create this one. When they get elder, the children will take care of their parents and they will create them. Let us do to the other what we want that they do to us. 26 Therefore do not fear them: cause there is nothing covered, that will not be revealed; and hid, that will not be known. 27 What I tell you in the darkness, speak in the full light; and what you hear in the ear, proclaim over the roofs. (Matthew, X, 26-27). 2 There is nothing covered, that will not be revealed; and occult, that will not be known. 3 Because whatever you have said in the darkness will be heard in the full light; and what you have spoken in the ear inside of the house will be proclaimed over the roofs. (Luke, XII, 2-3). 62. We can't hide anything from the Spirits. They are everywhere observing everything we do. None escapes from the divine justice, because none is able to hide nothing from the courts of the Lord and from the own conscience and own memory. “The thought of the Spirit irradiate and it is brought to different points at the same time; but this faculty depends on his purity.” (247 of SB). The more perfect the Spirit, the farer his thought broadcasts and vibrates. The thought of Jesus broadcasts and vibrate all over the universe. He can be heard, through the worship, from any place of the universe. The Spirit “perceives what your rude senses can not perceive.” (249 of SB). The spirits “see and comprehend one each other. The word is material; it is the reflex of spirit. The universal fluid establishes a constant communication among them; it is the vehicle of the transmission of the thought, as the air is the vehicle of the sound for you; some kind of a universal telegraph which unites all worlds, and allows the spirits to communicate from one sphere to the other.” (282 of SB). “In the state disengagement where the Spirit of the sleepwalker is, he enters more easily into communication with other incarnate or disincarnate spirits ; this communication is established through the contact of the fluids which compose their perispirits, and serve for the transmission of thought like the electric cord.” (455 of SB). “Besides don't they have the universal fluid which unites every spheres and turn them reciprocal; immense vehicle of the transmission of thoughts, as the air is, for us, the vehicle of the transmission of sound?” (Allan Kardec, 495 of SB). “How come that two persons, perfectly awake, often have the same thought at the same instant? They are two sympathetic spirits which communicate and see reciprocally their thoughts, even when the body is not asleep.” (421 of SB). The Spirits communicate through the thought and can read our thoughts through the universal fluid and the preach. This is not a specific faculty of the disembodied. The embodied ones also can read the thoughts of other people and Spirits through the love and the preach. This is the telepathy. “These communications between each man with his familiar spirit make every men mediums, unknown mediums today, but they will manifest latter and who will spill as an ocean without border to compress the incredulity and the ignorance.” (Saint Louis, Saint Augustine, 495 of SB). “How do we distinguish our proper thoughts from those which are suggested to us? When a thought is suggested, it is like a voice speaking to you. The proper thoughts are generally those of the first movement. Actually, there isn't great interest for you in this distinction, and it is often useful that you don't know.” (461 of SB). “The presentiment is the intimate and occult counsel of a Spirit who wants the well from you. It is also inside the intuition of the choice that we have been done; it is the voice of the instinct. The Spirit, before being incarnate, has knowledge of the main phases of his existence, it means the genus of proofs in which he compromises himself.” (522 of SB). “When you are in doubt, invoke your good Spirit, or pray to our Master (Lord) among all, God, that He sends you one of His messengers, the unique of us ." (523 of SB). “The protective Spirits aid us about their counsels by the voice of the conscience that they make to talk inside us.” (Allan Kardec, 524 of SB). The law of God is written “inside the conscience .” (621 of SB). “When the men of intelligence don't encounter in themselves, they make appeal to the inspiration; it is a evocation that they make without disbelieving themselves.” (462 of SB). “Do not think to hide anything from the guardian angels, for they have the eye of God, and you can't deceive them.” (Saint Louis and Saint Augustine, 495 of SB). 4 I say to you my friends: Don't be afraid of them that kill the body, and after this, they have no more that they can do. 5 But I will show you whom you will fear: Fear the one who after killing, has the power to cast into hell. Yes, I say to you, fear this one. (Luke, XII, 4-5). 28 Don't be afraid of them that kill the body, but cannot kill the soul; but do fear him who is able to decompose soul and body both in hell. (Matthew, X, 28). 63. Evidently that the materialists dies of fright of the killers, cause for they everything finishes with the death of the body. The imperfect spirits, when they aren't materialists, believe that for being bad, they will suffer eternally in the hell. Because of this they die of fright of the people who encounter in them defects which can take them to the hell. “As they suffer for a long time, they believe they always suffer; God, for punishing them, want that they believe like this.” (101 of SB). This one who can throw us in the hell is oneself through ones sins. 29 Are not two sparrows sold for a cent? And none of them will fall on the ground without the acquiescence of your Father. 30 And each hairs of your head are all counted. 31 Don't fear therefore! You are worthier than many sparrows. (Matthew, X, 29-31). 6 Are not five sparrows sold for two cents? But none of them is forgotten in the sight of God. 7 Each hairs of your head are all numbered. Don't fear! You are worthier than many sparrows. (Luke, XII, 6-7). 64. Nothing is fortuity. The Spirit “chooses himself the genus of proofs which he wants to suffer, and his free will consists in that.” (258 of SB). “In giving to the Spirit the freedom of choice, God leaves to him the entire responsibility of his acts and its consequences. Nothing blocks his future; the way of the good is for him as that of the evil.” (258, a, of SB). “The spirit can therefore choose the rougher proof, and for consequence the most troublesome existence, in the hope of arriving more rapid to better situation, as the patient often chooses the most disagreeable medicine for healing sooner.” (Allan Kardec, 266 of SB). You demand the proofs and God authorizes. “Nothing happens without the permission of God, for it is He who has established all the laws that govern the universe.” (258, a, of SB). “It isn't said that you have chosen and prophesied everything that happens to you in the world; although the least things. You have chosen the genus of proof to which you are subjected; the details of the facts are the consequence of the social situation and often of your own actions.” (259 of SB). “There is no fatal, in the true meaning of the vocable, except the moment of death; when this moment is reached, by one way or another, you cannot subtract yourself there.” (853 of SB). “In the example that you mention, the ladder tore itself because it was termited, or it was not enough solid to support the weight of the man. If it was in the destiny of this man to dye this manner, the spirits will inspire the thought of lifting such ladder that has to tear under his weight, and his death will have place through a natural effect and without needing to do a miracle for such.” (526 of SB). “What God wants must be.” (529, a, of SB). “Acknowledge God above all, without whose permission nothing is done; and then, the good spirits who have been His agents.” (535 of SB). “Everything has a reason to be, and nothing reaches without the permission of God.” (536 of SB). “Know well that God cannot contradict Himself, and that everything, inside nature, is hamornized itself by the general laws which are never separate of the sublime wisdom of the Creator.” (604 of SB). “But the laws of God are perfect. The harmony which rules the material universe and the moral universe is founded over the laws which God has established for all eternity.” (616 of SB). XXV – Jesus and John the Baptist   1 When Jesus had finished commanding his twelve disciples, he went from there to teach and preach in their cities. 2 When John heard in the prison the works of the Christ, he sent his disciples to ask to him: 3 Are you he that who was to come, or do we have look for another? 4 And Jesus answering said: Go and tell John the things, which you hear and see: 5 the blind ones see, and the cripples walk, the lepers are purified, the deaf ones hear, the deads are resurrected, and the good news (gospel) are being preached to the paupers. 6 And well-beatified is he that doesn't scandalize on me. 7 Then as these took their way, Jesus passed to say to the multitudes about John: What did you go to see in the wilderness? A cane shaken by the wind? 8 Yes, what did you go to see? A man wearing clothes de luxe? But those that wear clothes de luxe are in palaces of kings. 9 But what did you go out to see? To see a prophet? Yes, I say to you, and much more than a prophet. 10 This is he, of whom it is written: Behold, I send my messenger before your face, who will prepare your way before you. 11 Truly I say to you: Among those who are born of women there has not appeared anyone greater than John the Baptist; but the least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he . 12 And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and it is taken it by force. 13 Because all the prophets and the law prophesied until John. 14 And , if you want to trust: this is Elijah that was to come . 15 He that has ears to hear, hear it. (Matthew, XI, 1-15). 16 The law and the prophets were valid until John ; from that time the gospel of the kingdom of God is preached, and every man endeavors violently to go in it. (Luke, XVI, 16). 18 And the disciples of John told him all these things. And John called two of his disciples to him 19 and sent them to the Lord to ask: Are you he that was to come, or do we look for another? 20 When the men reached him, they said: John the Baptist has sent us to you to ask: Are you he that was to come, or do we look for another? 21 In that hour he cured many of diseases and torments and evil spirits; and he gave sight to many blind ones. 22 Then he answered to them: Go and tell John the things which you have seen and heard: the blind ones receive their sight, the limping ones walk, the lepers are purified, and the deaf ones hear, the deads are resurrected, the good news (gospel) are preached to pauper ones. 23 And well-beatified is he, whoever will not scandalize on me. 24 And when the messengers of John were gone, he began to say to the multitudes concerning John: What did go to see in the wilderness? A cane shaken with the wind? 25 But what did you go to out to see? A man wearing clothing de luxe? But those who dress luxuriously and live in the luxury are in the courts of the kings. 26 Yes what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I say to you, and much more than a prophet. 27 This is he of whom it is written: Behold, I send my messenger before your face: Who will prepare your way before you. 28 I say to you: Among them who are born of women there is none greater than John; but the least in the kingdom of God is greater than he . 29 All the people who heard, and the publicans, recognized the justice God, being baptized with the baptism of John. 30 But the pharisees and the interpreters of the law rejected for themselves the counsel of God, being not baptized by him. (Luke, VII, 18-30). 1 Behold, I send my messenger, and he will prepare the way before me; and the Lord, whom you seek, will suddenly come to his temple ; and the messenger of the (ark of the) covenant , whom you want; behold, they come, says the Lord of hosts. (Malachi, III, 1). 5 Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the great and terrible day of the Lord comes. 6 He will proselyte the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers; for that I don't come and hurt the earth with malediction. (Malachi, IV, 5-6). 65. Jesus declares clearly that John the Baptist is reincarnation of Elijah. According to some Spirits, Elijah has already been Moses reembodied. Moses is the messenger of the ark of the covenant. Jesus refers to the Old Testament when He says that until his arrival the kingdom of heaven was taken by violence, mentioning the way God was qualified till then: revengeful, violent, proud, prepotent and military. Jesus alludes to the modesty: the least is in the kingdom of God the greatest: John the Baptist is evolved, but the most humble in the kingdom of heaven is more perfected than John. Jesus is the least in the kingdom of the God: the meekest. XXVI – The yoke of Jesus   25 That time Jesus exclaimed: I acknowledge you, oh! Father, Lord of heaven and earth, cause you hid these things from the wise and understanding, and revealed them to the least ones. 26 Yes, Father, because this way it was pleasant to you. 27 All things have been delivered to me by my Father. And none knows the Son, save the Father; and none knows the Father, except the Son and that one to whom the Son wants to reveal Him . 28 Come to me, all you who are tired and overloaded, and I will alleviate you. 29 Take my yoke over you, and learn from me; because I am peaceful and modest in heart; and you will find rest for your souls. 30 Because my yoke is soft, and my package is light. (Matthew, XI, 25-30). 21 In that same hour he exalted the Holy Spirit, and said: I thank you, oh! Father, Lord of heaven and earth, cause you hid these things from the wise and understanding, and revealed them to least ones. Yes, Father; because it was pleasant to you. 22 All things have been delivered to me by my Father. None knows who the Son is, save the Father; and also none knows who the Father is, save the Son, and he to whomever the Son wants to reveal Him . 23 And turning to the disciples, he said privately: Well-beatified the eyes which see the things that you see. 24 Because I say to you, that many prophets and kings desired to see the things which you see, but they didn't; and to hear the things which you hear, but they didn't listen to them. (Luke, X, 21-24). 1 I will exalt you, my God and King; and I will laud your name forever. 2 Every day I will laud you and I will praise your name forever. 3 Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised; and his greatness is infinite. 4 One generation will laud your works to another, and they will declare your mighty acts. 5 I will meditate about the glorious majesty of your honor, and about your marvelous works. 6 Men will speak of the might of your terrible acts; and I will declare you greatness. 7 They will divulge the memory of your great goodness, and they will turn your justice renowned. 8 The Lord is kind and merciful; slow in becoming angry and of great clemency. 9 The Lord is good to all; and his tender mercies are over all his works. 10 All your works will produce gratitudes to you, oh! Lord; and your saints will praise you. 11 They will speak about the glory of your kingdom, and talk of your might; 12 to make known to the sons of men your mighty acts, and the glory of the majesty of you kingdom. 13 Your kingdom is an eternal kingdom, and your dominion subsists through all generations. The Lord is faithful in all his words and Holy in all his works. 14 The Lord sustains those who vacillate, and stands the prostate ones up. 15 The eyes of all expect for you; and you give them their food in due season. 16 You open your hand and satisfy with benevolence every living being. 17 The Lord is just in all his ways, and kind in all his works. 18 The Lord is near each one that invokes him, to all that calls him in truth. 19 He will fulfil the desire of them that fear him; He also will hear their cry and He will save them. 20 The Lord preserves all them that love him; but all the unfaithful ones will be destroyed. 21 My mouth will praise the Lord; and let all flesh laud his holy name for all ever. (Psalm CXLV). 66. “Do the power and consideration enjoyed by a man on earth give him supremacy in the world of the Spirits? No; because the little ones will be elevated and the great ones will be lowered. Read the psalms.” (275 of SB). “Don't you know that spirits belong to different orders according to their worth? Ah! Well! The greatest on earth can be in the latest line among the Spirits, but his servant will be the first one. Do you comprehend that? Hasn't Jesus said: Whoever lowers himself will be elevated, and whoever elevate himself will be lowered” (275 of SB). “God takes care Himself of all beings He has created, the most little they are; nothing is too much few for His kindness.” (963 of SB). “The title is nothing, the real superiority is everything.” (277 of SB). “He who professes to worship Christ, and who is proud, envious, and jealous, who is hard and implacable to others, or ambitious of the goods of this sphere, is religious with the lips only, and not with the heart.” (654 of SB). “The proud one believes he has only dignity (self-respect).” (Saint Augustine, 919 of SB). “God always praises those who do the good; alleviating the paupers and afflicted ones is the best mean of honoring Him.” (673 of SB). “The instinct of conservation was given to all beings against dangers and sufferings.” (727 of SB). “God didn't impose to us a task above our forces.” (Saint Louis, Saint Augustine, 495 of SB). There are people who “wanted to be proved by a life of disappointment in order to exercise their patience and resignation.” (...) “If the man undertook only the things related to his faculties, he would almost always succeed; this what ruins him is his self-love and his ambition, which makes him leave this way and catch the desire of satisfying certain passions as a vocation. He shatters and it is his guilt;” (862 of SB). “The judicious man, to be happy, regards below him, and never above him, unless it is to elevate his soul to the infinite.” (923 of SB). “For the souls who are already elevated, the thought in the proofs which remains to him to suffer isn't anything troublesome.” (979 of SB). Jesus didn't come to bring his thoughts to the great and proud ones of earth. They have already gotten their share and it is completely material. Jesus came to bring a light bale to the least ones, to the modest ones. It is through humility that we will obtain the soft yoke of Jesus. No probation is difficult with humbleness. The more proud and selfish we are, the more we will suffer with the probations of this world. XXVII – How a obsession does begin   43 But the impure spirit, when he gets out of the body of the man , he passes through dry places, seeking rest, but he doesn't find it. 44 Then he says: I will go back to my house from where I came. But when he is come, he finds it empty, swept, and decorated. 45 Then he goes, and takes with himself seven other spirits more evil than himself, and they enter in the house and inhabit there; and the last action of that man becomes worse than the first. This way it will also happen to this evil generation. (Matthew, XII, 43-45). 24 When the unclean spirit goes out of the man, he passes through dry places, looking for relax, but he doesn't find. He says: I will be back to my house where I came from. 25 And when he is come, he finds it swept and garnished. 26 Then he goes, and takes with him seven other spirits more evil than himself; and they enter in and live there; and the last action of that man becomes worse than the first. 27 It happened, as he said these things, a certain woman among the multitude said aloud to him: Praised is the uterus that procreated you, and the mammas, which you did suck. 28 But he said: Previously they that hear the word of God and keep it are well-beatified! (Luke, XI, 24-28). 67. The good or bad moral qualities of the man “belongs to the spirit who is embodied in him. The purer is this spirit, the more the man is brought to the good.” (361 of SB). “Then the sins we commit have their initial source in the imperfection of our own spirit, which has not yet reached the moral superiority he will have one day,” (872 of SB). Jesus explains that very didactically. The man was bad and his body died. His Spirit is impure and goes away, searching a place to live in. Many times he doesn't know he was dead. He concludes coming back to his house and he passes to haunt the people who live there. This spirits often invites other impure Spirits to cohabit and to obsess the dwellers with him. Some of them find this very laughable. “What is the soul? An embodied Spirit.” (134 of SB). “The man is thus formed of three essential parts: – 1 st . The naked body is material analogous to the animals, and animated by the same vital principle of them; 2 nd . The soul, embodied Spirit whose body is his habitation; 3 rd . The intermediary principle or perispirit, a half-material substance, which links the 1 st part to the Spirit, and unites the soul to the body. Such a fruit: the seed, the pulp and the peel.” (Allan Kardec, 135, II, of SB). “Certain peoples have done of them evil-doing gods; others designate them under the name of demons, evil genies and spirits of the evil. The living beings, which they animate, when they are embodied, are inclined to all the vices, which engender the vile and degrading passions: the sensuality, the cruelty, the cheat, the hypocrisy, the greed, and the miserly avarice. They do the evil for the pleasure of doing it, the most often without motives, and for the hate of the good they almost always choose their victims among honest people. These are the scourges for humanity, in any order of the society they belong to, and the varnish of the civilization doesn't guarantee them against the infamy and the dishonor.” (102 of SB). XXVIII – The family of Jesus   46 While he was yet speaking to the multitudes, behold his mother and his brothers were outside, seeking to speak to him. 47 And one said to him: Your mother and your brothers are outside, they want to talk to you. 48 But he answered to him that told him: Who is my mother? And who are my brothers? 49 And he pointed his hand to his disciples, and said: Behold, my mother and my brothers! 50 Because whoever will do the will of my heavenly Father, he is my brother, and sister, and mother. (Matthew, XII, 46-50). 31 Then his mother and his brothers arrived; and, they stayed out, they ordered to call him. 32 And a multitude was sitting round him; and they said to him: Behold, your mother and your brothers are outside seeking for you. 33 He answered them saying: Who are my mother and my brothers? 34 And looking round on them that sat round him, he said: Behold, my mother and my brothers! 35 Therefore whoever will do the will of God, this is my brother, sister and mother. (Mark, III, 31-35). 19 Came to him his mother and brothers, and they could not come at him because of the crowd. 20 And it was told to him: Your mother and your brothers are outside and they want to see you. 21 But he answered to them: My mother and my brothers are these that hear the word of God, and do it. (Luke, VIII, 19-21). 68. “All the men are brothers in God, because they are animated by the spirit, and cause they walk to the same goal (end).” (54 of SB). “Oh! Believe in me! Believe in me, brothers in God and in Jesus Christ, believe in me,” (Paul, apostle, 1009 of SB). “It is always the same principle: for the elevated Spirits the fatherland is the universe; at ground it is where they have more sympathetic persons.” (317 of SB). “The natural law is the law of God; it is the only truth for the happiness of man; it indicates to him what he must do or not to do, and he is unhappy if he becomes separated of it.” (614 of SB). It doesn't matter if the brothers of Jesus were sons of the first marriage of Joseph or natural sons of Mary. For Jesus, each one of us, sons of men, are sons of the same God who is Father. We are all brothers in God who has been brother and Father. Jesus doesn't want that I do my selfish will, but the wish of the Father who has been God: the goal (end) which we all yearn. XXIX – Jesus and the women   36 One of the pharisees invited him to have dinner with him. Jesus entered in the pharisee's house, and sat down at the table. 37 And behold, a woman from the city, a sinner; knew that he was sat at the table in the pharisee's house, she brought a vase of alabaster with anointing perfumed oil; 38 and standing behind at his feet, weeping, she began to wet his feet with her tears, and she dried them with the hair of her head, and kissed his feet, and she anointed (Christ, Messiah) them with the ointment. 39 when the pharisee that had invited him saw it, he whispered: This man, if he was a prophet, he would know who and what kind of woman this is that who touched him, because she is a sinner. 40 Jesus answered to him: Simon, I have something to say to you. And he said: Say it, Master. 41 A certain creditor (lender) had two debtors: the one owed five hundred denaries (roman silver coin equal to ten cents – dimes), and the other fifty. 42 Both of them didn't have means to pay, he forgave them both. Which of them therefore will love him most? 43 Simon answered: He, I suppose, to whom he forgave the biggest debt. And he said to him: you have rightly judged. 44 And turning to the woman, he said to Simon: Do you see this woman? I entered in your house, you didn't give me any water for my feet; but she has wetted my feet with her tears, and dried them with her hair. 45 You didn't give me any kiss; but she, since the time I came in, hasn't stopped to kiss my feet. 46 You didn't anoint my head with oil; but she has anointed my feet with balsam. 47 So I say to you: Her many sins are forgiven; because she loved a lot; but he who is few forgiven, he loves few. 48 And he said to her: Your sins are forgiven. 49 They that sat at the table with him began to whisper themselves: Who is this that forgives even sins? 50 But he said to the woman: Your faith has saved you; go in peace. (Luke, VII, 36-50). 69. Jesus forgave the sinner women who was humble and loved Him very much. Surely if she wouldn't be regretful of her sins, but she was still sinning she wouldn't be forgiven. “And Mary was that who anointed the Lord with ointment, and dried his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.” (John, XI, 2). Latter on He will show example of humility very similar to the Mary from Bethany, washing the feet of the apostles. Woman and men have equal rights. It is not very easy to reach Jesus' mercy. 1 It happened, soon afterwards, that he walked from the cities to the villages, preaching and announcing the good news of the kingdom of God, and the twelve were with him; 2 and certain women who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities: Mary that was called Magdalene (from Magadan), from whom seven demons had gone out, 3 and Joanna the wife of Chuzas: Herod's proctor (proxy), and Susanna, and many others, who aid them with their possessions. (Luke, VIII, 1-3). 70. Jesus didn't have only eighty-two disciples. There were women who have been always with Him ready to serve Him. 38 They were going by their way, he entered in a certain village. And a certain woman named Martha received him in her house. 39 She had a sister called Mary (from Bethany), who also sat at the Lord's feet listening to his word. 40 But Martha was shaking worried and occupied in many services. Then she came to him: Lord, don't you mind that my sister has left me to serve alone? Order her therefore to come to help me. 41 But the Lord answered: Martha! Martha! You are unquiet and troubled about many things. 42 But one thing is necessary; Mary has chosen the good part, which will not be taken away from her. (Luke, X, 38-42). XXX – The parable of the sower   1 On that day Jesus went out of the house, and sat by the seashore. 2 Great multitudes reunited near him, so that he entered into a boat, and sat; and all the multitude stood up on the beach. 3 He spoke to them many things in parables, saying: Behold, the sower went out to sow. 4 As he was sowing, some seeds fell by the side of the way, and the birds came and ate them. 5 Others fell on the rocky ground, where the earth was few, and soon they emerged, because the soil wasn't deep. 6 When the sun was risen, it burned them; because they had no root, they dried up. 7 Others fell on the thorns; and the thorns grew up and suffocated them. 8 Others fell on the good ground, and they fruited: some a hundred for one, some sixty, some thirty. 9 He that has ears to hear, listen to. 10 Then the disciples came, and asked him: Why do you speak to them in parables? 11 He answered to them: Because you have capacity to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but they don't have. 12 Cause whoever has, to him it will be given, and he will have plentifully; but whoever has not, from him will be taken away even that which he has. 13 Therefore I speak to them in parables; because seeing they don't see; and hearing they don't hear, neither they understand. 14 The prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled on them, which says: You will hear through your ears but you will not understand anyway; you will see through your eyes but you will not discern anyway . 15 Because this people's heart is hardened. They heard through the ears unwillingly. And they shut up their eyes; for it doesn't happen that they see through the eyes, hear through the ears, understand through their heart, proselyte themselves and then I would heal them . 16 Well-beatified are your eyes, because they see; and your ears, because they hear. 17 Truly I say to you, that many prophets and righteous men desired to see the things which you see, but they didn't see; and to hear what you hear, but they didn't hear. 18 Hear then the parable of the sower. 19 When anyone hears the word of the kingdom, but he doesn't understand, then the evil comes, and he kidnaps what has been sown in his heart. This is he who was sown in the side of the way. 20 He that was sown on the rocky ground, this is he that hears the word, and he receives it soon with joy; 21 but he doesn't have root in himself, he resists for a while; but when tribulation or persecution reaches him because of the word, soon he scandalizes himself. 22 He that was sown on the thorns, this is he that hears the word; but the cares of the world and the fascination for wealth suffocate the word, and he becomes unfruitful. 23 He that was sown on the good ground, this is he that hears the word, and comprehends it; who fruits, and produces a hundred, sixty, thirty for one. (Matthew, XIII, 1-23). 9 Then he said: Go, and tell this people: You will indeed hear, but you will not understand; and you will indeed see, but you will not perceive . 10 Make the heart of this people fat, and make their eyes heavy, and shut their ears; so they won't see with their eyes, and they won't hear with their ears, and they won't understand with their heart, and they won't proselyte themselves, and they won't be cured . ( Isaiah , VI, 9-10). 1 Jesus began to teach by the seaside again. There was gathered to him a very great multitude, so he entered in a boat, where he sat away the beach; and all the multitude was on the beach by the sea. 2 He taught them many things in parables, exposing his doctrine. 3 Hear: Behold, the sower went out to sow. 4 As he was sowing, some seed fell by the side of the way, and the birds came and ate it. 5 Other fell on the rocky ground, where the earth was few; soon it germinated, because the earth was not deep. 6 When the sun was risen, it burned it; and because it had no root, it dried up. 7 Other fell among the thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it didn't fructify. 8 Other fell in the good ground, and fructified, and growing up and increasing; and produced thirty, sixty, and a hundred for one. 9 And he added: Who has ears to hear, listen to it. 10 When Jesus was alone, they that were near him with the twelve asked him about the parables. 11 He said to them: You are able to know the mystery of the kingdom of God; but they who are out are entirely taught in parables; 12 because seeing, they don't see, neither they perceive; and hearing, they don't hear, neither they understand; so they won't be proselyted, neither they will be forgiven. 13 Then he said to them: Don't you understand this parable? And how will you comprehend all the parables? 14 The sower sows the word. 15 These are in the side of the way, where the word is sown; and while they hear, soon Satan comes, and takes away the word which has been sown in them. 16 Like these are they who are sown on the stony ground, who, when they have heard the word, soon they receive it with joy. 17 But they have no root in themselves; they support for a while; then, when tribulation or persecution arises because of the word, soon they scandalize themselves. 18 The others are they who are sown among the thorns; these are they that hear the word, 19 but the cares of the world, and the fascination for richness, and the other competing ambitions suffocate the word, and it become unfruitful. 20 Those who were sown on the good ground are those who hear the word and accept it, and fructify, thirty, sixty, and a hundred for one. (Mark, IV, 1-20). 4 When a great multitude came together from every city to him, he spoke by a parable: 5 The sower went out to sow his seed. And as he was sowing, some fell on the side of the way; and it was trodden on feet, and the birds of the heaven ate it. 6 Other fell on the rock; and it grew; then it dried, because there was no humidity. 7 Other fell in the middle of thorns; and the thorns grew with it, and choked it. 8 Other fell in the good ground; and grew, and produced fruit a hundred for one. As he said these things, he cried: He that has ears to hear, hear it. 9 And his disciples asked him: What was this parable? 10 He answered: You are able to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God; but it is talked in parables to the remainder; so seeing, they don't see; and hearing, they don't understand. 11 The sense of the parable is this: The seed is the word of God. 12 Those who fell in the side of the way are those who heard; then comes the devil, and takes away the word from their heart, so they won't believe neither they will be saved. 13 Those who fell on the stone are those who listening to the word, receive it with joy; these have no root, they believe for a while, but in time of temptation they succumb to it. 14 Those who fell among the thorns, those heard the word, and as they go on their way they are choked with cares and richness and pleasures of this life; but their fruits don't ripen. 15 Those who fell in the good ground, those have heard in a good and righteous heart. They keep the word; they fructify persistently. (Luke, VIII, 4-15). 71. It is not easy to be cured by Jesus. We have to do our part for that He can cure us. Solomon wrote other 3000 parables in Proverbs, X-XXIX. Here Jesus teaches the simple and ignorant Spirits that one must cultivate in good ground. The parables are allegories made didactically by Jesus for the imperfect Spirits of that time who couldn't understand the spiritual taughts of Jesus. The imperfect Spirits understand only the material things. “The word of Jesus was often allegoric and in parables; because He spoke according to the times and places. It is convenient now that the truth will be intelligible for the whole world. It is convenient to explain well and to develop these laws, considering that there are so few people who comprehend them, and yet lesser who practise them. Our mission is to hurt the eyes and ears to assemble the proud ones and to unmask the hypocrites. These who affect the outside of the virtue and of the religion for hiding their turpitudes. The taught of the Spirits must be clear and without ambiguities, in order to the person can't allege ignorance and that anyone can judge them and appreciate them with his own reason. We are in charge of preparing the reign of good announced by Jesus; it is because it is not convenient that anyone can interpret the law of God according to the desire of his passions, neither falsify the meaning of a law wholly of love and charity.” (627 of SB). “In antiquity spiritism was the object of mysterious studies, carefully hidden against the vulgar ones; today, there are no secrets for anyone; he speaks a clear language, without ambiguities; in his house, nothing of mystic, place of allegories susceptible of false interpretations: he wants to be comprehended by everyone, because the time is come to make known the truth by the men; far from opposing himself against the diffusion of the light, he wants it for the whole world; he doesn't complain a obfuscated belief, he wants that we know why we believe in him; in basing himself over reason, he will always be stronger than those who base themselves over nothing.” (conclusion, VI, of SB). XXXI – The parable of the tare and the wheat   24 He set another parable before them, saying: The kingdom of heaven is likened to a man that sowed good seed in his field; 25 but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tare also among the wheat, and went away. 26 But when the herb grew and produced fruit, the tare also appeared. 27 Then the servitors of the householder came and said to him: Sir, didn't you sow good seed in your field? Where does the tare come from so? 28 But he said to them: An enemy has done this. But the servants asked him: Do you want that we go and tear it away? 29 But he said: No! Because if you tear the tare away you will tear the wheat away with too. 30 Let them both grow together until the harvest, and in the time of the harvest I will say to the harvesters: Harvest first the tares, and tie them in bunches to burn them; but deposit the wheat into my storehouse. (Matthew, XIII, 24-30). 36 Then he left the multitudes, and went to the house. And his disciples came to him, saying: Explain to us the parable of the tare of the field. 37 He answered: He that sows the good seed is the Son of man; 38 the field is the world; the good seed are the sons of the kingdom; and the tares are the sons of the evil one; 39 the enemy who sowed them is the devil; and the harvest is the consummation of the century; and the harvesters are the angels. 40 As therefore the tare is harvested and thrown in fire; so it will be in the consummation of the century. 41 The Son of man will send his angels, and they will tie all scandals, and them that practice iniquity of his kingdom, 42 and he will cast them in the inflamed firebox; there it will there be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth. 43 Then the righteous will shine as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He that has ears to hear, listens to. (Matthew, XIII, 36-43). 72. Here Jesus teaches the more materialized ones that we must separate the damaging herb only when this isn't harm to the plant, which we want to produce. “Do not despise the opinion of your enemies, for they have no interest in dissimulating the truth, and God often places them beside you as a mirror, to warn you more frankly than it would be done by a friend.” (Saint Augustine, 919, II, of SB). The friends love us, and for having a goal post in the eye, they don't alert us of our dusts. Because of this, the enemies are extremely necessary. They appoint our imperfections without pity neither clemency. We need them to make our self-reformation. We are reaching the time of the harvest. The earth will pass from world of expiations and proofs to world of regeneration (reembodiment). The bad ones (the tare) will be taken to a world of expiations and proofs very lower than earth. The good ones (the wheat) will remain at the earth. “The earth, according to the law of progress, has already been materially and morally in a state lower than it is today, and it will reach under these both benefits a step more advanced. The earth is arrived to one of these periods of transformation, where from expiatory world it will go to become regenerating world ; then the men there will be happy, because the law of God there will reign.” (Saint Augustine, GAS, III, 19). “The good will reign over earth when, among the spirits who will come to inhabit it, the good will take off the evil ones. Then, there they will make reign the love and the justice, which are the source of good and the welfare. It is through moral progress and the practice of the laws of God that the man will attract over the earth the good spirits, and he will repel the bad ones. But the bad ones won't go away while the pride and the selfishness aren't banished. The transformation of the humanity was prophesied, and you touch this moment, which hurries all the men who aid to the progress. It will be accomplished itself by the embodiment of better Spirits who will constitute over the earth a new generation . Then the Spirits of the evil ones that the death harvest each day, and everyone that try to stop the march of the things will be excluded, cause they will be removed from among the good men whose happiness they would trouble. They will go to the new worlds, less advanced, to occupy painful missions where they will be able (decompose) to work for their own advancement in the same time that they will work for the advancement of their brothers yet more underdeveloped. Don't you see the sublime figure of the Lost Paradise in this exclusion from the transformed earth, and in the man come over the earth in alike conditions, and supporting in himself the germ of his passions and the traces of his primitive inferiority, the figure not less sublime of the original sin (the Fall) ? The original sin, considered under this point of view, calm down the nature yet imperfect of the man who isn't thus responsible except by himself and for his own sins, and not for those of his parents. You all, men of faith and of good will (willingly), work so with zeal and courage to the great work of regeneration (reembodiment, reincarnation), cause you will harvest at a hundredfold the seed that you will have sown. Uneasiness to these who shut their eyes up against the light, cause they prepare to themselves long centuries of darkness and disappointments; uneasiness to these who set all their joys in the wealth of this world, cause they will support the maximum of privations that they haven't golded with pleasures; uneasiness above all the selfish ones, cause they won't find a person to aid them to bring the charge of their miseries.” (Saint Louis, 1019 of SB). XXXII – The parable of the seed   26 He said: The kingdom of God is as if a man would cast the seed on the earth; 27 then he would sleep and stand up night and day, and the seed would germinate and grow up, but he doesn't know how. 28 The earth fructifies by itself: first the herb, then the spike, then the spike full of grains. 29 But when the fruit is mature, suddenly he puts the scythe on, because the harvest is come. (Mark, IV, 26-29). 73. Jesus teaches the simple ones to work the earth sowing seeds, which are the germ of the plants that we eat. The kingdom of the heaven is almost beautiful and there are plants in there, which are the intelligent principles of the plants of the earth. Very few ones are able to comprehend the kingdom of heaven, how the laws of God work without the men know how. And there are generations and generations of new seed growing. It is a garden. XXXIII – The parable of the grain of the mustard seed   30 He said: How will we liken the kingdom of God? Or in what parable will we set it? 31 It is like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown on the earth, it is the littlest seed on the earth; 32 but when it is sown, grows up, and becomes biggest than all the herbs, and puts out great branches; so that the birds of the heaven can nest under its shadow. 33 And with many such parables he spoke the word to them, as they were able to hear it. 34 And he didn't speak to them without parables; but he explained privately all things to his own disciples. (Mark, IV, 30-34). 31 Another parable he set before them, saying: The kingdom of heaven is alike a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field; 32 which indeed is the smallest of all seeds; but when it is grown, it is the biggest of the herbs, and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the heaven come and nest in its branches. (Matthew, XIII, 31-32). 18 He said: To what is the kingdom of God like? To how will I compare it? 19 It is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man planted in his own vegetable garden; and it grew, and became a tree; and the birds of the heaven nested in its branches. (Luke, XIII, 18-19). 5 Then the apostles said to the Lord: Increase our faith. 6 The Lord answered: If you have faith as a grain of mustard seed, you will say to this mulberry: Pull up itself and transplant itself in the sea; and it will obey you. (Luke, XVII, 5-6). 74. Jesus teaches to seek planting the vegetable, which produces more food to the simple people. We must not despise anyone. The humblest is that one which we need more. And the kingdom of heaven is made of the least ones, but for their love and knowledge, produce much more than the others. We are the grain of mustard seed who will grow, bemean and to become God. “ It is thus that everything incases, everything inchains inside nature, from the primitive atom to the archangel, who himself began at the atom ; an admirable law of harmony, which your limited spirit cannot, however, seize entirely.” (540 of SB). We begin as atoms, in the mineral kingdom. We become plants in the vegetable kingdom. We pass through many species in the animal kingdom. We become men or Spirits and we enter in the humane kingdom and one day we will be pure spirits in the Kingdom of God. We need to believe in the words of Jesus and this all will happen. XXXIV – The parable of the leaven   33 He spoke another parable to them: The kingdom of heaven is like to leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of flour, till it was all leavened. 34 All these things Jesus spoke in parables to the multitudes; and without a parable he didn't speak anything to them; 35 in order to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet: I will open my mouth in parables; I will publicize things hidden since the creation of the world. (Matthew, XIII, 33-35). 2 I will open my mouth in a parable; I will publicize secrets of antiquity, (Psalm, LXXVIII, 2). 20 Again he said: To what will I compare the kingdom of God? 21 It is like to leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of flour, till it was all leavened. (Luke, XIII, 20-21). 75. Jesus teaches the women who didn't know, and who were many to use leaven. The leaven is alike the good men who are mixed to the other men. "The more advanced aid the progress of the others by the social contact." (779 of SB). Some men are catalysers. When Jesus wanted to talk to the simple and ignorant Spirits without being attacked he used fables and parables. XXXV – The parable of the hidden treasure   44 The kingdom of heaven is like to a treasure occult in the field; which a man discovered, and hid. And in his joy he goes and sells everything he has, and buys that field. (Matthew, XIII, 44). 76. Jesus teaches the ignorant men to gain money. The kingdom of heaven is not material. One can't buy the kingdom of heaven through money. The money can be used to buy the field where one will work. But the kingdom is reached though the benign work in what everyone seek the welfare of all. The kingdom of heaven can't be reached through selfishness and avarice. The Holy Writ is the field, which is full of occult treasures of the knowledge, which everyone can discover. XXXVI – The parable of the pearl   45 The kingdom of heaven is like one who deals and seek for good pearls; 46 and having met a pearl of great value, he sells all that he has, and buys it. (Matthew, XIII, 45-46). 77. Jesus teaches the simple women to buy beautiful things. The kingdom of heaven isn't material, but has great worth in knowledge and wisdom. Who searches the kingdom of heaven doesn't worry in having material things. But a big pearl is beautiful, isn't it? The Holy Scripture is filled of pearls. XXXVII – The parable of the net   47 The kingdom of heaven is like to a net, that was thrown into the sea, gathering fishes of every specie. 48 When it was filled, the fishermen drag it to the beach; and they sat down, they choose the good ones to the baskets, but the bad ones they cast away. 49 Like this it will be in the consummation of the century: the angels will come, and they will pick the evil ones from among the righteous, 50 and they will cast them into the inflamed forge; there it will there be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth. (Matthew, XIII, 47-50). 78. Jesus teaches the ignorant fishermen to return the little fishes to the sea for that they grow. Jesus refers to the end of the times again. The time where the earth is a world of expiations and proofs is reaching the end. The earth will become a new world of regeneration. “In certain epochs, decided by the godly wisdom, these emigrations and immigrations of Spirits happens in amounts more or less considerable, due to the big revolutions which cause the simultaneous departure in big quantities, suddenly replaced by equivalent quantities of embodiments.” (Allan Kardec, The Genese, XI, 36). The bad ones will be emigrated to worlds of expiations and proofs worst than their earth and the earth will receive Spirits emigrated from worlds of regeneration which will become happy worlds. XXXVIII – The parable of the householder   51 Did you understand all these things? They said to him: Yes! 52 Then he said to them: Therefore every scribe who became a disciple of the kingdom of heaven is like to a man who is a householder, who takes from his treasure new and old things. 53 When Jesus had finished these parables, he departed from there. (Matthew, XIII, 51-53). 79. They understood yes the more simple and material taughts of Jesus. The old things are the material and practical taughts of the parables of Jesus. The new things are the moral taughts inside these same parables. XXXIX – A prophet doesn't have honor in his own earth   53 When Jesus had finished these parables, he departed from there. 54 And coming in his own country he taught them in their synagogue, such that they were astonished, and said: From where do this wisdom and these mighty works come to him? 55 Isn't he the carpenter's son? Isn't his mother called Mary? And his brothers, James, and Joseph, and Simon, and Judas? 56 Don't all his sisters live among us? From where do all these things come to him? 57 They were scandalizing in him. But Jesus said to them: A prophet isn't without honor, except in his own country and in his own house . 58 And he didn't make many mighty works there because of their unbelief . (Matthew, XIII, 53-58). 1 He went out from there; and he came to his own land, and his disciples followed him. 2 And when the saturday was come, he began to teach in the synagogue; and many hearing him were astonished, saying: From where do these things come to this man? What is the wisdom that is given to this man? How come he does these mighty works by his hands ? 3 Isn't this the carpenter, son of Mary, and brother of James, and Joseph, and Judas, and Simon? Don't his sisters live here among us? And they were scandalized in him. 4 But Jesus said to them: A prophet isn't without honor, except in his own earth, among his relatives and in his own house . 5 And he couldn't do any mighty work there, except healing a few sick persons, setting his hands over them . 6 He marvelled because of their unfaith . But went to the round villages to teach. (Mark, VI, 1-6). 80. Those men saw Jesus grow and they didn't understand his mission. They didn't have faith in what He was doing and the unfaith harms the proper patient who wants to cure himself. Besides it is not enough to believe in God. It is necessary to regret and follow His laws. On the other hand, that people were yet constrained because they were not able to kill Jesus according to the chapter XIII. XL – The death of John the Baptist   19 but Herod, the tetrarch, being reprehended by him cause of Herodias, his brother's wife, and for all the evil works, which Herod had done, 20 added to those all: this also, that he cast John in prison. (Luke, III, 19-20). 1 At that time Herod, the tetrarch, heard the fame about Jesus, 2 and said to his servants: This is John the Baptist; he resuscitated from the deads, and cause of this, might powers work in him. 3 Because Herod had arrested John and tied him, and put him in prison cause of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife. 4 Because John said to him: It is not lawful for you to have her. 5 He was wanting to kill him, but he feared the people, because he was a prophet for them. 6 But when Herod's birthday came, the daughter of Herodias danced before everybody and pleased Herod. 7 For that he promised, under oath, to give her whatever she would ask. 8 Then she, instigated by her mother, said: Give me the head of John the Baptist here on a dish. 9 The king got afflicted; but because of his oath and of them who sat at the table with him, he decided it would be given; 10 and he ordered and decapitated John in the prison. 11 His head was brought on a dish, and given to the teenager, who took it to her mother. 12 Then his disciples came, took the body and sepulchered him; after that they went and told Jesus. (Matthew, XIV, 1-12). 14 This was heard by the king Herod, because the name of Jesus became known; and someone said: John the Baptist resuscitated from the deads, and therefore these powers do work in him. 15 Others said: He is Elijah. And others said: He is a prophet as one of the prophets. 16 But Herod, when he heard this, said: John, whom I decapitated, he resurged. 17 Because Herod himself, because of Herodias (his brother Philip's wife), ( which Herod had married ), had ordered to arrest John and tie him in prison. 18 Because John said to Herod: It is not lawful for you to have your brother's wife. 19 And Herodias hated him, wanting to kill him, but she couldn't. 20 Cause Herod feared John, knowing that he was a righteous and holy man, and kept him safe. And when he heard him, he was much perplexed; and he heard him satisfied. 21 And when a convenient day was come, that Herod on his birthday made a banquet to his dignitaries, military officers, and the leaders of Galilee; 22 the daughter of Herodias herself came in and danced, she pleased Herod and them that sat at the table with him; and the king said to the teenager: Ask for me whatever you want, and I will give it to you. 23 And he swore to her: Whatever you will ask for me, I will give it to you, even the half of my kingdom. 24 She went out and said to her mother: What will I ask? She said: The head of John the Baptist. 25 She came back suddenly in a hurry to the king and asked: I want that you give me without delay on a plate the head of John the Baptist. 26 The king became very sad; but cause of his oaths and of them that sat at the table, he wouldn't deny it to her. 27 He send immediately the headsman, and commanded to bring his head. He went and beheaded him in the prison, 28 and brought his head on a plate, and delivered it to the teenager; and this gave it to her mother. 29 When his disciples heard that, they came and took his body and deposited it in a tomb. (Mark, VI, 14-29). 7 Now Herod, the tetrarch, heard of all that was done, and he was much perplexed, because that it was said by some: John resuscitated from the dead; 8 and by any: Elijah had appeared; and by others: One of the old prophets was resuscitated. 9 But Herod said: I beheaded John; who is this, about whom I hear such things? And he endeavored to see him. (Luke, IX, 7-9). 81. “And Elijah said to them: Catch the prophets of Baal, don't let even one of them escape. When the people seized them, Elijah took them to the torrent of Cison, and there he killed them.” (3 Kings, XVIII, 40). The law of action and reaction fell on John the Baptist. He was killed decapitated because when he was named Elijah he had killed the priests of Baal. How many men of these days don't loose the head because of a prostitute? There are prostitutes able to carry everything belonged by the men, even their life. XLI – The multiplication of breads and fishes   13 When Jesus heard it, he get out from there in a boat, to a desert place aside; when the multitudes knew, they followed him on foot from the cities. 14 He unshipped and saw a great multitude, and he had compassion on them and healed their sick ones. 15 At evening, the disciples came to him, saying: The place is desert, and the time is already past; send the multitudes away, that they may go to the villages, and buy themselves food. 16 But Jesus said to them: They don't need to go away; give them to eat by yourselves. 17 But they said to him: We have here just five breads, and two fishes . 18 Then he said: Bring them here to me. 19 He commanded the multitudes to sit down on the grass; he took the five breads, and the two fishes, and looking up to the heaven, he eulogizes. He divided the breads and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples to the multitudes. 20 They all ate, and were filled; and they got twelve baskets full of the pieces, which remained. 21 Those who did eat were about five thousand men, besides women and children. (Matthew, XIV, 13-21). 30 The apostles came back to Jesus and they told him all things they had done, everything they had taught. 31 He said to them: Come to rest a while aside in a desert place; because they didn't have time even to eat, so many ones coming and going. 32 They went away in the boat to a desert place aside. 33 The people saw them going, and many knew them, and they ran together there on foot from all the cities, and they arrived before them. 34 When he unshipped he saw a great multitude, and he had compassion on them, because they were as sheep without a shepherd. And he began to teach them many things. 35 When the evening arrived, his disciples came to him and said: This place is desert, and the day is finishing; 36 send them away, that they go in the countries and villages round, and buy to themselves something to eat. 37 But he answered to them: Give them to eat. They said to him: Will we go and buy two hundred denaria (silver roman coin equal to ten cents or one dime) of bread, and give them to eat? 38 He said to them: How many breads do you have? Go and see. When they knew, they said: Five, and two fishes . 39 He commanded them all to sit down in groups on the green grass. 40 They sat down in groups, of hundreds, and of fifties. 41 He took the five breads and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he eulogized, and divided the breads; and he gave to the disciples to distribute them; and the two fishes divided among them all. 42 They all ate, and were filled. 43 And they collected twelve baskets full of divided pieces of both breads and fishes. 44 Those who ate the breads were five thousand men. (Mark, VI, 30-44). 10 When the apostles were returned, they declared to him what things they had done. He took them, and went aside to a city called Bethsaida. 11 But the multitudes discovered it and followed him. He welcomed them, and spoke to them about the kingdom of God, and he healed them who needed to be cured. 12 The day began to end. The twelve came and said to him: Send the multitude away, so they will go in the villages and countries round, and lodge, and get provisions; because we are here in a desert place. 13 But he said to them: Give them to eat yourselves. They answered: We have no more than five breads and two fishes ; except if we go and buy food for all this people. 14 Because they were about five thousand men. He said to his disciples: Make them sit down in groups of fifty each. 15 They did so, and made them all sit down. 16 He took the five breads and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he eulogized them, and divided; and gave to the disciples to distribute to the multitude. 17 They ate and were all filled; twelve baskets of divided pieces remained. (Luke, IX, 10-17). 1 After these things Jesus went to the other side of the sea of Galilee, which is the sea of Tiberias. 2 A great multitude followed him, because they saw the signs which he did healing the sick ones. 3 Then Jesus went up to the mountain and there he sat with his disciples. 4 The Passover, the feast of the jews, was nearby. 5 Then Jesus lifting up his eyes and seeing that a great multitude came to him, said to Philip: Where will we buy bread to feed them? 6 But he said to prove him, because he knew himself what he would do. 7 Philip answered him: Two hundred denaria (dimes in roman coin) of bread isn't enough for them, for that each one receive a piece. 8 One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, said to him: 9 There is a teenager boy here, who has five barley breads and two fishes ; but is it enough to so many ones? 10 Jesus said: Make the people sit down. Because there was much grass in that place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand. 11 Then Jesus took the breads and having acknowledged, he distributed to them; equally he also do to the fishes as much as they wanted. 12 When they were filled, he said to his disciples: Gather the remained divided pieces, for that nothing be lost. 13 this way they done and filled twelve baskets with divided pieces of the five barley breads, which remained to them that had eaten. 14 When the men saw the sign, which he did, they said: This is in truth the prophet that was to come to the world. (John, VI, 1-14). 82. The bread and the fishes which Jesus multiplied were not material, but fluid, ectoplasmic. They didn't feed the body, but the perispirit, the psychosoma. “God doesn't entrust himself to a direct action on matter;" (536, II, of SB). Those breads and fishes were like the body of Jesus: made of the fifth essence of the matter. “14 th Could the objects which, by the will of the Spirit, become touchable, remain with this characteristic becoming of common use? This could happen, but this is not done . It is out of the laws. 15 th Have all the Spirits, in the same degree, the might of producing touchable objects? Certainly the more advanced the Spirit is, the easier to reach that. But, yet here, everything depends on the circumstances. The lower Spirits also have this might.” (Saint Louis, MB, 2 nd part, VIII, 128, 14 th e 15 th ). It is the case of the mexican image of Our Lady from Guadeloupe. And perhaps: the Saint Shroud. XLII – Jesus walks on the sea   45 After that he constrained his disciples to load a boat to go before him to the other side to Bethsaida, while he himself sent the multitude away. 46 When he have bidden farewell to them, he climbed the mountain to pray. 47 At evening, the boat was in the middle of the sea, and he alone on the land. 48 And seeing them rowing uneasily against the wind, about the fourth guard's turn of the night he came to them, walking on the sea; and he would outrun before them. 49 But they, when they saw him walking on the sea, thought that he was a ghost, and cried out. 50 For they all saw him, and were troubled. But he suddenly spoke to them and said: Have a good soul ! I AM. Don't be afraid! 51 And he went up into the boat to them; and the wind stopped. They were sore amazed in themselves; 52 because they haven't understood about the breads , but their heart was hardened. 53 When they had crossed over, they came to the land in Gennesaret where they reach the shore. 54 When they came out of the boat, suddenly the people recognized him; 55 and they ran round about that whole region, and began to carry on their beds those that were sick to where they heard he was. 56 Wherever he entered, into villages, or cities, or countries, they set the sick in the public squares, asking for him to let them touch at least the border of his clothes; and as many as they touched him they were healed. (Mark, VI, 45-56). 22 After that he constrained the disciples to enter into the boat to go before him to the other side, till he would send the multitudes away. 23 Sent the multitudes away, he went up to the mountain to pray apart. When the evening was come, he was there alone. 24 But the boat was now in the middle of the sea, whipped by the waves; against the wind. 25 In the fourth guard of the night he came to them, walking on the sea. 26 And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying: It is a ghost! And they cried out for fear. 27 But immediately Jesus spoke to them: Have good soul! I AM. Don't be afraid. 28 Peter answered him saying: Lord, if YOU ARE, let me go to you over the waters . 29 And he said: Come! And Peter going down from the boat he walked on the waters and he went to Jesus . 30 But when he saw the wind, he got afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried out, saying: Lord, save me ! 31 And immediately Jesus stretched his hand, took him and said to him: Man of little belief, why did you doubt ? 32 When they both were gone up into the boat, the wind ceased. 33 And they that were in the boat worshipped him, saying: Truly you are the Son of God! 34 Then they had crossed over, they arrived to the earth, to Gennesaret. 35 When the men of that place knew him, they ordered to notify all that region round and they brought to him all that were sick, 36 and they asked for him to allow them to touch the border of his clothes; and as many as they were touched were healed. (Matthew, XIV, 22-36). 16 When the evening came, his disciples went down to the sea. 17 They took a boat, and were going over the sea to Capernaum. And it was now dark, and Jesus hadn't yet come to them. 18 And the sea was rising shook by a great wind that breathed. 19 They had rowed about twenty five or thirty furlongs (25 x 201,16=5029 meters), suddenly they saw Jesus walking on the sea, and approaching the boat; and they were afraid. 20 But he said to them: I AM. Don't be afraid! 21 So they were willing receiving him in the boat; the boat reached its destiny. (John, VI, 16-21). 83. Jesus had a fluid body made of the fifth essence of the matter, for that it was so easy to him to walk on the sea. “As the Spirit is transported with the speed of the thought, we can say that he can see everything at the same time.” (247 of SB). “Don't being subject to the reembodiment inside perishable bodies, the life is eternal for the pure Spirits. They accomplish this life in the bosom of God.” (113 of SB). Jesus was far about 25 to 30 furlongs (1 furlong = 201,16 meters), therefore, Jesus had walked between 5.029 meters and 6.034,8 meters on the sea. But Peter had a body of flesh and gave some steps on the sea cause of a mediumistic quality of physical effects, his and belonged by the other apostles, before sinking. "It is necessary, however, to ponder that the faculty of producing material effects rarely exists in the ones who have more perfects means of communication, as the writing and the speaking. Generally, the faculty decreases in one mean while it is developed in an other mean." (Allan Kardec, item 160 of MB). XLIII – Jesus is the bread of life   22 In the day after the multitude that stood on the other side of the sea saw that there was no other boat there, except one and that Jesus didn't go in the boat with his disciples, but that his disciples went away alone 23 However, other boats came from Tiberias, near the place where they ate the bread after the Lord had given thanks. 24 So when the multitude saw that Jesus wasn't there, neither his disciples, they got into the boats and went to Capernaum searching Jesus. 25 And when they found him on the other side of the sea, they asked him: Master, when did you arrive here? 26 Jesus answered them: Truly, truly I say to you: You search me, not because you saw signs, but because you ate of the breads, and you were filled. 27 Don't work for the food, which perishes , but for the food, which remains, to the eternal life, which the Son of man will give for you; because God, the Father, has sanctioned with his sealing wax. (John, VI, 22-27). 84. Jesus had already said: “But he answered: It is written: Man will not live only of bread, but of each word that comes from the mouth of God.” (Matthew, IV, 4). And also: “But look for his kingdom first, and his justice; and all these things will be added to you.” (Matthew, VI, 33). The multitude wasn't seeking the bread of the heaven: the word of Jesus and the fluid breads. The multitude was searching Momus who would fill their stomachs. 28 They said therefore to him: What will we do to accomplish the works of God? 29 Jesus answered them: This is the work of God: Believe in him whom he has sent. 30 Then they said to him: What sign do you that we see and we believe in you? What are your works? 31 Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness; as it is written: He gave them bread of heaven to eat. 32 Jesus replied them: Truly, truly I say to you: It was not Moses who gave you the bread of heaven; but it is my Father who gives you the true bread of heaven. 33 Because the bread of God is he who comes down from the heaven and gives life to the world. 34 So they said to him: Lord, give us this bread for ever. 35 Jesus declared to them: I AM the bread of the life; he who comes to me will never hunger ; and he who believes in me will never thirst . 36 But I have already said to you that although you have seen me, you yet don't believe. 37 Whoever the Father gives to me, he will come to me; and I will cast out him who comes to me no way . 38 Because I came down from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of him who sent me. 39 And this is the will of him that sent me: That I don't loose anyone of all those who he gave to me ; but I will resurrect him in the last day. 40 In fact, the will of my Father is that whoever see the Son and believe in him, he will have eternal life; and I will resurrect him in the last day. (John, VI, 28-40). 24 And he rained down manna over them to eat, and he gave them the wheat from heaven. 25 Each man ate the bread of the mighty: He sent plentiful food to them. (Psalm LXXVIII, 24-25). 14 When the dew had evaporated, behold, there was a small round thing on the face of the wilderness, little as the hoarfrost on the ground. 15 The children of Israel saw it and said one to another: What is this? Because they didn't know what it was. Moses said to them: This is the bread, which the Lord gave you to eat. (Exodus, XVI, 14-15). 85. The manna of Moses was the bread, which fed the body. The bread of Jesus is fluid, as He is himself fluid. There are some persons in earth, which affirm they can live without the food of the physical body. The bread of Moses gets in through the mouth, descends the belly and is cast out. The bread of Jesus is never cast out. We are the bread of Jesus, which is never cast out as perishable thing. Not even the present devils will escape of the glory of God, because Jesus doesn't want that any of us will be lost. Each one of us will one day go in the Kingdom of God and we will resurrect as pure Spirits, as Holy as Jesus. We are all eternal. We didn't have a start in time and we won't have an end in any time. 41 The jews thus whispered concerning him, because he said: I AM the bread who came down from heaven. 42 And they said: Isn't this Jesus, the son of Joseph? Whose father and mother we know? How come now he says: I came from heaven? 43 Jesus answered: Don't whisper among yourselves. 44 None can come to me if the Father (who sent me) won't bring him; and I will resurrect him in the last day . 45 It is written in the prophets: And they will all be taught by God. Every one that has heard from the Father, and has learned, he comes to me. 46 Not that any man has seen the Father, save he who is from God, he has seen the Father. 47 Truly, truly I say to you: He who believes in me has eternal life. 48 I AM the bread of the life. 49 Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness and died. 50 This is the bread who come down from heaven, for that whoever eat him, he will not perish. 51 I AM the alive bread who came down from heaven; if anyone this bread, he will live eternally; and the bread that I will give for the life of the world is my flesh. 52 The jews therefore debate one with another, saying: How can this man give us his flesh to eat? 53 Jesus answered them: Truly, truly I say to you: If you don't eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood; you aren't alive yourselves. 54 He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will resurrect him at the last day. 55 Cause my flesh is true food and my blood is true beverage . 56 He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me, and I inside him. 57 As the Father , who lives , sent me, and I equally live for the Father; so he who eats me, he will also live for me. 58 This is the bread who came from the heaven, not as that bread which you ate, but died; he who eats this bread will live eternally. 59 Jesus said these things, while he was teaching in the synagogue of Capernaum. (John, VI, 41-59). 6 Jesus answered him: I AM the way, the truth and the life; none reaches the Father, but through me . (John, XIV, 6). 27 All things have been delivered to me by my Father. And none knows the Son, but the Father; and none knows the Father, except the Son and that one to whom the Son wants to reveal Him . (Matthew, XI, 27). 22 All things have been delivered to me by my Father. None knows who the Son is, save the Father; and also none knows who the Father is, save the Son, and he to whomever the Son wants to reveal Him . (Luke, X, 22). 86. Moses feed the body and the body which Moses fed died. You came from dust and you will come back to powder. Jesus feeds the Spirit and this one is eternal. “"It is the life of the Spirit which is eternal;” (153 of SB). God é Father and he is a living God, who lives as Holy Spirit and supreme in His intelligence, as we all will be one day. 60 Many of his disciples, when they heard this, said: This is a hard speech; who can hear it? 61 But Jesus, knowing himself that his disciples whispered this, said to them: Does this scandalize you? 62 What about if you would see the Son of man lifting to the place where he was initially? 63 It is the spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing ; the words that I have spoken to you are spirit and life . 64 But there are unbelievers among you. Cause Jesus knew from the beginning who they were who didn't believe and who would betray him. 65 And he said: For this cause, I have said to you: That no man can come to me, except if he is authorized by the Father . 66 Because of this, many of his disciples gave up and they wouldn't walk anymore with him. 67 Therefore Jesus asked the twelve: Will you also give up? 68 Simon Peter answered him: Lord, to whom will we go? You have the words of eternal life. 69 And we have believed and know that you are the Holy of God. 70 Jesus answered them: Didn't I choose you in number of twelve? But one among you is a devil. 71 Now he spoke about Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot; because he was who would betray him, being one of the twelve. (John, VI, 60-71). 87. Listening these words of Jesus about the food of the body, many disciples of him abandoned Him, except the twelve and even among the twelve there was a demon, an impure Spirit who the Father had chosen. “Certain peoples have done of them evil-doing gods; others designate them under the name of demons, evil genies and spirits of the evil.” (102 of SB). The word of Jesus asserts even to Judas Iscariot: “And this is the will of him that sent me: That I don't loose anyone of all those who he gave to me ; but I will resurrect him in the last day.” (John, VI, 39). Judas repaired his treason to the Christ in the body of Jeanne DÆArc, who the Catholic Church burned as witch and after that she was sanctified. This history is told in book by Léon Dennis, contemporary french friend of Allan Kardec.á “Your Spirit is everything; your body is a clothing, which perishes itself: There it is everything.” (196, II, of SB). XLIV – Honor father and mother   12 Honor your father and your mother, for that your days; in the earth which the Lord, your God, gives to you; will be long. (Exodus, XX, 12). 16 Honor your father and your mother, as the Lord, your God, commanded you; for that your days will be long, and that you go well, in the land which the Lord, your God, gives to you. (Deuteronomy, V, 16). 17 And he who slanders his father or his mother will die . (Exodus, XXI, 17). 24 Eye for eye, tooth for tooth , hand for hand, foot for foot. 25 Burning for burning, wound for wound, blow for blow. (Exodus, XXI, 24-25). 13 Because the Lord said: Cause this people approaches to me, and honor me with their mouth and with their lips, but their heart goes far from me, and their fear of me is just a commandment of men who were taught to do that; (Isaiah, XXIX, 13). 1 Then some pharisees and scribes came to Jesus from Jerusalem asking: 2 Why do your disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? Because they don't wash their hands when they eat. 3 But he answered them: Why do you also transgress the commandment of God because of your tradition? 4 Cause God said: Honor your father and your mother ; and: He who slanders father or mother be punished with death . 5 But you say: Whoever will say to his father or his mother: That which you could profit from me belongs to the Lord; 6 he won't honor his father or his mother. And you have annulled the word of God because of your tradition. 7 Hypocrites! Well Isaiah prophesied about you saying: 8 This people honors me with their lips; but their heart is far from me. 9 But uselessly they worship me, teaching doctrines, which are precepts of men. 10 And he called the multitude to him and said to them: Hear and understand: 11 It isn't that, which enters in the mouth, that dishonors the man; but that, which comes from the mouth, this dishonors the man . 12 Then the disciples came and said to him: Do you know that the pharisees became scandalized, when they listened to your words? 13 But he answered: Every plant, which my heavenly Father didn't plant, will be plucked. 14 Let them alone; they are blind guides. And if the blind one guides the blind one, they both will fall in the abyss . 15 Then Peter answered to him: Explain the parable to us. 16 But he said: Don't you also understand yet? 17 Don't you understand that whatever goes into the mouth passes through the belly and it is cast out ? 18 But the things, which come from the mouth, come from the heart, and this dishonors the man. 19 Because evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, prostitutions, thefts, false witness, blasphemies come from the heart. 20 These are the things which dishonor the man; but eating with unwashed hands doesn't dishonor the man. (Matthew, XV, 1-20). 1 The pharisees and certain of the scribes (come) from Jerusalem joined to him. 2 And seeing that some of his disciples ate their bread with impure hands, which means, unwashed hands. 3 (Cause the pharisees and all the jews, following the tradition of the elders, don't eat without washing their hands carefully; 4 when they come from the public square, they don't eat without taking a bath; and many other things which they have received to follow as washing glasses (cups), pans (pots) and brass receptacles.) 5 And the pharisees and the scribes asked him: Why don't your disciples walk according to the tradition of the elders, but they eat their bread with impure hands? 6 He answered them: Isaiah prophesied well about you hypocrites, as it is written: This people honor me with their lips, but their heart is far from me. 7 But uselessly they worship me: They teach doctrines, which are precepts of men. 8 Neglecting the commandment of God, you preserve the tradition of men. 9 And he still said to them: Skillfully you reject the commandment of God to keep your tradition. 10 Cause Moses said: Honor your father and your mother; and: He who slanders father or mother will be punished with the death. 11 But you say: If a man say to his father or his mother: That which you could profit from me is Corban, that means, it belongs to God, 12 then you dispense him to do anything for his father or his mother; 13 invalidating the word of God through your own tradition, which you have transmitted; and you do many such things like this. 14 He called the multitude to him again: Hear me all of you and understand. 15 There is nothing outside of the man, which going inside him, is able to dishonor him; but the things which come from the man are those which dishonor the man. 16 Whoever has ears to hear, listen to it. 17 When he was entered into the house from the multitude, his disciples asked him about the parable. 18 Then he said to them: Don't you understand too? Don't you comprehend that whatever goes into the man from outside, it isn't able to became him impure (Spirit – the author); 19 because it doesn't goes into his heart, but into his belly, and it goes to outside? This way, make cleaned all the foods. 20 And he said: That which comes from the man, this becomes him impure . 21 Because evil thoughts, prostitution, thefts, murders, adultery, avarice, malices, frauds, 22 sensuality, envy, blasphemies, pride, foolishness comes from inside, from the heart of men. 23 All these evil things are originated inside and they dishonor the man. (Mark, VII, 1-23). 88. The law of Moses was clear: whoever did violate any of the ten commandments of the Decalogue was punished with the death. It is correct to wash the aliments, but pharisees had created customs that violated the divine law. If someone eats a poisoned aliment and dies, this will not become him an impure Spirit. But that who killed him is an impure and dishonored Spirit. Whoever violates falsely other's honor becomes dishonored. The pharisees accused the disciples of Jesus of eating with dirty hands, but they had sins. When Jesus talked to the people, the jew doctors thought they would be accused and they became dishonored, impure, full of hate of Jesus, but they couldn't do anything for fear to be died. XLV – The feast of the tents of the ark of the covenant of the Lord   1 And after these things Jesus walked in Galilee because he didn't want to walk in Judaea, because the jews sought to kill him. 2 Now the feast of the jews, called feast of tabernacles was nearby. 3 So his brothers said to him: Leave this place and go to Judaea, for that your disciples also may see the works you do. 4 Because none who seeks to be known publicly accomplishes his works privately . If you do these things, manifest yourself to the world. 5 Because even his brothers didn't believe in him. 6 Jesus therefore said to them: My time is not yet come; but your time is always present. 7 The world can't hate you; but it hates me, because I witness of the world, that its works are evil. 8 Go up to the feast; I don't go up to this feast for this time; because my time isn't yet fulfilled. 9 He said these things to them and he remained in Galilee. (John, VII, 1-9). 89. It wasn't time to Jesus to go. He would go for thinking when his brothers would have arrived. He knew that many jews felt envy and hate for him and it was right he never made anything secretly. Jesus wasn't afraid. 10 But when his brothers were gone up to the feast, then he also went up, not publicly, but privately. 11 The jews therefore sought him at the feast and asked: Where would he be? 12 And there was much whispering among the multitudes concerning him. Some said: He is a good man. Others said: Not so, but he deceives the people. 13 However no man spoke publicly about him for fear of the jews. 14 But when it was now in the middle of the feast Jesus went up in the temple, and taught. 15 Then the jews marveled saying: How come he knows letters, without having studied? 16 Jesus answered them: My teaching isn't mine, but belongs to him who sent me. 17 If any man wants to do his will, he will know concerning the doctrine, whether it is from God, or whether I speak from myself. 18 He who speaks from himself seeks his own glory; but he who seeks the glory of him who sent him, the same is true, and there isn't injustice in him. 19 Didn't Moses give you the law? However none among you follow the law. Why do you seek to kill me? 20 The multitude answered: You have a demon. Who does seek to kill you? 21 Jesus answered them: I did one work and you all marvel. 22 Moses had given you circumcision (not Moses', but patriarch's); and you circumcise a man on the saturday. 23 If a man is circumcised on the saturday, for that the law of Moses don't be violated; are you angry against me, because I healed whole a man on the saturday? 24 Judge not according to appearance, but judge righteous judgment. 25 Some from Jerusalem said: Isn't this he whom they seek to kill? 26 Lo, he speaks openly, and they say nothing to him. Perhaps do the authorities recognize indeed that this is, in fact, the Christ? 27 However we know where this man come from; but when the Christ comes, none will know from where he is. 28 Jesus cried in the temple, teaching: You know me and where I come from; I didn't come because I myself wanted it, but he who sent me is true, whom you don't know. 29 I know him; because I come from him and he sent me. 30 Thus they sought to arrest him; but none put his hand on him, because his hour wasn't yet come . 31 But many among the multitude believed in him and said: When the Christ will come, will he do more signs than those, which this man has done? (John, VII, 10-31). 90. “ÆThus they sought to arrest him; but none put his because his hour wasn't yet come hand on him, because his hour wasn't yet come.Æ(John, 7:30). Commenting the episode of the attempt of the imprisonment of the Christ, in the Temple, in Jerusalem, registered in the Evangel of John, above-mentioned, Andrew Louis, through the reliable plume of Chico Xavier, makes important revelations about the body of the Christ, confirming the informations published in the book "The Four Evangels", of Roustaing, about the successive materializations and dematerializations passed by the body of Jesus while he was among us. æMechanisms of Mediumnistic QualitiesÆ was published in 1959. Confer, below: æIn Jerusalem, in the temple, Jesus disappears suddenly, dematerializing himself, before all the expectants... In each happening, we feel him governing the matter, dissociating its agents and reintegrating them at his wish, with the collaboration of the spiritual servants who assist his ministry of the light.Æ (page 185)” (retired from the museum Roustaing from the site: www.casarecupbenbm.org.br). Jesus proved to those people, which was filling the temple (whose wall is lamented by the jews because the temple was destroyed) during the feast, that he was the Christ, preaching publicly and despairing, when they wanted to arrest him, at the sight of the multitude. The proof of this is the content of the handwritten letter of Chico Xavier which the Magazine REFORMADOR of march of 1983, transcribes in its page 77, whose content we reproduce in part: Uberaba, 30-10-70. Dear friend Doctor. Armando de Assis Oliveira: Bless us, God. I received your esteemed letter of 21 of this month and I believe having understood your appreciated consultation which represents a natural taken of position, concerning to your new responsibilities in your investiture, in the direction of the FEB. Acknowledging you attention, I inform the dear friend that the whole works psycographed by me and published by FEB were delivered to you according instructions of the authors and spiritual directors. The House Mater of the Spiritism in Brazil give them to the flame, in all editions, with integral and absolute respect to the original texts, by me prepared, according to the thought of the spiritual authors, being the eventual modifications happened in new editions occurred where spontaneous alterations promoted by the same spiritual authors according questions done by the direction of the FEB, in the aim of clearing more expressivenessly this or that matter. The doubts which are able to remain related to the published texts will have origin, therefore, or in the attributable faults due to my fallibility of mediator, or in the impossibility, enough known of our speech to reproduce, reliably, the thought of the spiritual authors. Very recognized, the friend of always. Francisco Cândido Xavier. 32 The pharisees heard the multitude murmuring these things concerning him; and the main priests and the pharisees sent guards to arrest him. 33 Jesus said to them: I will stay while with you then I go to him who sent me. 34 You will search me, but you won't encounter me; where I am, you can't come. 35 The jews therefore said among themselves: To where will this man go for that we won't encounter him? Will he go to the Diaspora (dispersion, vanishing) of the greeks in order to teach the greeks? 36 What does his word mean when he said: You will seek me but you won't encounter me; and where I am, you can't come? (John, VII, 32-36). 91. Jesus was invisible and intangible, but audible. The priests of the temple of Jerusalem ordered the guards to arrest him because he preached He was the Christ. However, it isn't possible to arrest an intangible Spirit. 37 In the last day, the great day of the feast, Jesus stood up and cried, saying: If anyone is thirst, come to me and drink. 38 He who believes in me, as the scripture has said, from himself inside will flow rivers of living water. 39 This he spoke about the Spirit, who they who believe in him would receive; cause the Spirit wasn't yet given; because Jesus wasn't yet glorified. 40 Then some of the multitude, when they heard these words, said: This is truly the prophet. 41 Others said: He is the Christ. But some said: How come the Christ is from Galilee? 42 Doesn't the scripture says the Christ comes from the seed (descent) of David and from Bethlehem, the village where David was born? 43 So a discussion among the assembly grew because of him. 44 Some of them wanted to jail him; but none put hands on him. 45 The guards therefore came to the main priests and pharisees. These said to them: Why didn't you bring him? 46 The guards answered: None has ever spoken as this man. 47 The pharisees replied them: Are you also deceived? 48 Perhaps did any among the authorities or the pharisees believe in him? 49 But this multitude who doesn't know the law is slandered. 50 Nicodemus, one of them, (who had come to Jesus before) asked them : 51 Does our law judge a man, except if he is first heard to know what he did ? 52 They answered: Are you also from Galilee? Search and see that a prophet doesn't come from Galilee. 53 And each one went to his own house. (John, VII, 37-53). 92. The rivers of living water are the universal fluids, which flows from the spiritual passers and from the magnetizers. The people was convinced that He was the Christ and now they were asking if He was son of David, if He was adapted to the prophecies concerning the Messiah (in greek: Christ). "A scalded cat dreads cold water": the guards didn't arrest him because they knew He would disappear again. Nicodemus, the same one who Jesus had enlightened about the reembodiment, defends Jesus affirming He had right of defense. The jews went out defeated without doing what they wanted: to captivate Jesus. To incarcerate the proper God. XLVI – Jesus and the adulteress   14 You won't commit adultery. (Exodus, XX, 14). 18 You will not commit adultery. (Deuteronomy, V, 18). 10 The man who commits adultery with another man's wife, even he who committed adultery with his neighbor's wife, the adulterer and the adulteress will surely be put to die. (Leviticus, XX, 10). 22 If a man is encountered lying with a woman married to a husband, then they both will die: the man who lay with the woman and the woman; so you will put away the evil from Israel. (Deuteronomy, XXII, 22). 1 But Jesus went to the mount of Olives. 2 Early in the morning he came again to the temple, and all the people came to him and sat down he taught them. 3 The scribes and the pharisees brought a woman taken in adultery; and they put her in the middle of them all. 4 They said to him: Master, this woman has been taken in adultery, in the act. 5 In the law Moses commanded us to stone such: What then do you say about her? 6 This they said, trying him, for that they have a reason to accuse him. But Jesus inclined himself and wrote with his finger on the ground. 7 But as they insisted on asking him, he stood up and said to them: He who is without sin among you, throw the first stone on her. 8 And again he inclined himself and wrote with his finger on the ground. 9 But they, when they heard this answer, went out one by one, beginning from the eldest, even to the last. Jesus was left lonely with the woman who was in the middle. 10 Jesus stood up and said to her: Woman, where are they? Didn't the men condemn you? 11 She said: No man, Lord. Then Jesus said: I also don't condemn you. Go away! And don't sin anymore from now on. (John, VIII, 1-11). 93. The pharisees didn't bring the adulterer to Jesus. The pharisees had accused the apostles of eating with dirty hands and Jesus appointed the pharisees'sins privately. This time Jesus wrote the their sins on the earth. Then they went away in order not to be accused by Jesus and dead as the accused woman. Jesus has already said: “But I say to you, the one who looks to a woman and desires her, has already committed adultery with her in one's heart.” (Matthew, V, 28). Who among us has never committed adultery according to Jesus?! Who among us is without sin? “That who does the profession of worshiping the Christ , and who is proud, envious, and jealous , who is hard and implacable to others, or ambitious of the goods of this world, is religious with the lips only, and not with the heart." (654 of SB). Are you without sins? Are you worth in order to apply the death sentence? Would you do the same that Herodias did to John the Baptist? XLVII – Jesus preaches in the temple and He is condemned to death again   12 Again Jesus spoke to them, saying: I am the light of the world; he who follows me won't walk in the darkness, but he will have the light of the life. 13 But the pharisees objected: You witness about yourself; your witness is not true. 14 Jesus answered them: Even if I witness about myself, my witness is true; for that I know from where I came and where I go to; but you don't know from where I come or to where I will go. 15 You judge according to the flesh ; I don't judge any man. 16 If I judge, my judgment is true; cause I am not alone, but I am with the Father who sent me. 17 In your law it is written, that the witness of two men is true . 18 I witness concerning myself, and the Father, who sent me, witnesses concerning me . 19 Then they asked him: Where is your Father? Jesus answered: You know not even me, nor my Father; if you knew me, you would know my Father too. 20 These words he spoke in the treasury, while he taught in the temple; and none arrest him, because his hour wasn't come yet. (John, VIII, 12-20). 94. Jesus says they judge according to the flesh, because they don't comprehend the life of the Spirit. Jesus says that the Father is an alive man who witnesses for Jesus. Jesus and the Father are one. 21 He talked and said to them: I will go away, and you will seek me, but you will perish in your sin. Where I go, you can't come. 22 The jews said: Will he commit suicide? Cause he said: Where I go, you can't come? 23 He said: You are from beneath; I am from above ; you belong to this world ; I'm not in this world . 24 I said therefore to you, that you will die in your sins; because if you don't believe that I AM, you will die in your sins. 25 Then they asked him: Who are you? Jesus answered them: What have I spoken to you from the principle? 26 I have many things to judge and to speak concerning you; however he who sent me is true ; and the things which I heard from him, these I speak to the world. 27 They didn't perceive that he spoke to them about the Father. 28 So Jesus said: When you have lifted up the Son of man, then you will know that I AM, and that I do nothing by myself; but I speak as the Father taught me. 29 He who sent me is with me; he didn't leave me alone; cause I always do the things which are agreeable to him . 30 Many believed in him while he spoke these things. (John, VIII, 21-30). 95. Jesus is from above: “We can place in the first (prime) degree these who arrived to the perfection: the pure Spirits.” (97 of SB). “Isn't the whole of the Spirits forming everything? Isn't everything a world?” (151 of SB). “All the Spirits are united among themselves; I speak about these who has arrived to the perfection.” (300 of SB). “These of the same degree meet themselves for some kind of affinity and they form groups or families of Spirits united by the sympathy and the goal (end) they propose themselves:” (278 of SB). “The union exists among all the Spirits, but as the different degrees according to the degree that they occupy, this means, according to the perfection which they have acquired: the more they are perfect, the more they are united.” (298 of SB). Jesus comes from a divine world of supremely perfect Spirits. Those spirits never abandon Him. 31 So Jesus said to those jews who had believed him: If you remain in my word, then you are truly my disciples; 32 and you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free . 33 They answered him: We are Abraham's seed (descent), and have never yet been slave of any man: How do you say: You will be free? 34 Jesus replied them: Truly, truly, I say to you: Every one who commits sin is a slave of the sin . 35 But the slave doesn't remain in the house eternally; the son remains eternally. 36 If therefore the Son will become you free, you will be indeed free. 37 I know that you are Abraham's seed (descent); however, you yet seek to kill me, because my word isn't inside you. 38 I speak about the things, which I have seen with my Father; but you do the things, which you saw with your father. 39 Then they answered him: Our father is Abraham. Jesus said to them: If you were Abraham's sons, you practice the works of Abraham. 40 But now you seek to kill me, who have told you the truth, which I heard from God. This isn't an Abraham's work. 41 You do the works of your father. They said to him: We are not adulterine sons; we have one Father who is God. 42 Jesus replied them: If God were your Father, you would love me; because I came from God and here I AM; cause I didn't come for myself, but he sent me. 43 Why don't you understand my speech? It is because you are unable to hear my word. 44 You have the devil for father; and you want to satisfy his desires. He was a killer from the beginning and he has never remained in the truth , because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks about what is proper of him, cause he is a liar, and father of the falsehood. 45 But because I say the truth, you don't believe in me. (John, VIII, 31-45). 16 I will bless Sarah and more I will give you a son from her. Yes, I will bless her and she will be the mother of the nations ; kings of peoples will come from her. 17 Then Abraham fell upon his face, and laughed , and said in his heart: Will a child be born to him who is a hundred years old? And will Sarah, who is ninety years old, deliver a baby? (Genesis, XVII, 16-17). 12 Sarah laughed within herself, saying to herself: After my lord and I are both waxed old will we have pleasure? 13 Then the Lord said to Abraham: Why did Sarah laugh , saying: Will I indeed have a baby being an old woman? 14 Is anything too hard for the Lord? In season I will be back to you and Sarah will have a son. 15 Then Sarah denied afraid, saying: I didn't laugh . But God said: Not thus, it is certain that you did laugh. (Genesis, XVIII, 12-15). 28 And he came in to her, and said: Hail, you full of grace, the Lord is with you. You are blessed among women . 29 But she was greatly troubled at the saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this might be. 30 And the angel said to her: Fear not, Mary: because you found grace in face of God . (Luke, I, 28-30). 7 Then Isaac spoke to his father Abraham: My father! And he said: Here I AM, my son! And he said: Lo the fire and the wood, but where is the lamb for the holocaust (sacrifice)? 9 And they came to the place which God had told to him; and Abraham built an altar there, and put the wood in order, and Abraham tied his son Isaac, and laid him on the altar , over the wood. 10 And Abraham extended his hand, and took the knife to kill his son Isaac. (Genesis, XXII, 7, 9 e 10). 96. The pure Spirit is the Holy Spirit and the Spirit of the Truth. The pure Spirits always speak the truth, cause this is a characteristic of their speech. But those jews were devils, demons, impure Spirits and few advanced, as the proper Abraham, who they considered as their father. Abraham was so kind that he would sacrifice his own son for God. A son who was born from Sarah, who would be reembodied as Mary, mother of Jesus, mother of God, blessed mother of all the men. “In the material life, such as you practice in the most part, if you offer a gift to any one, you choose it always with a worth as greater as you want to witness more affection and consideration to the person.” (669 of SB). The human sacrifices have source “in a false idea of being agreeable to God. Look to Abraham. In consequence, the men had abused in sacrificing their enemies, even their private enemies. Actually, God has never required sacrifices, neither of animals, not even of men; He can't be honored by the useless destruction of his proper creature.” (669, II, of SB). 46 Who among you does convict me of having sin? If I say the truth, why don't you believe in me? 47 He who is from God hears the words of God; for this cause you don't hear his words, because you don't come from God. 48 The jews answered: Don't we say well when we say that you are a samaritan and that you have a demon? 49 Jesus replied: I don't have a demon; but I honor my Father, and you dishonor me. 50 But I don't seek my own glory; there is someone who seeks and judges. 51 Truly, truly I say to you: If someone keeps my word, he will never see the death eternally . 52 The jews said to him: Now we are sure that you have a demon. Abraham died, and also the prophets; and you say: If a man keep my word, he will never taste the death eternally. 53 Are you greater than our father Abraham, who died? The prophets died too. Who do you make yourself be? 54 Jesus answered: If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing; I AM glorified by my Father; who you say that he is your God. 55 However you haven't known him; but I know him. If I said that I don't know him, I would be like you: a liar; but I know him and I keep his word. 56 Abraham, your father, rejoiced to see my day. He saw it and he was glad. 57 So the jews asked him: You are not yet fifty years old and you have seen Abraham? 58 Jesus answered them: Truly, truly I say to you: Before Abraham was born, I AM . 59 Then they caught rocks to stone him; but Jesus occulted himself; and he went out of the temple, passing through the middle among them . This way he got out. (John, VIII, 46-59). 14 And God said to Moses: I AM WHO I AM . And more: Thus you will say to the sons of Israel: I AM sent me to you. 15 And God said more to Moses: Thus you will say to the children of Israel: The Lord, the God of your fathers (patriarchs), the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you; this is my name eternally , and this is my memorial to all generations . (Exodus, III, 14-15). 31 In that instant certain pharisees came to say to him: Get out and go from here, because Herod wants to kill you. 32 But he said to them: Go and say to that fox that, today I cast out demons, tomorrow I make cures, and in the third day I AM perfect. 33 However I must walk on my way today and tomorrow and the day after; because it isn't expected that a prophet dies out of Jerusalem. 34 Oh! Jerusalem, Jerusalem, which kills the prophets, and stones them who are sent to you! How often did I want to join your children, as the chicken joins her chicks under her wings, but you didn't want?! 35 Behold, your house will be desolate for you. Truly I say to you: You will not see me until you will say: Praised is he who comes in the name of the Lord! (Luke, XIII, 31-35). 97. The jews had reason. Jesus had a demon, because demon in greek means: good or evil genie, spirit or god. Jesus says that the life is eternal. We didn't have a principle in the time and we won't have an end in the time. Jesus is God before Abraham's birth. Again Jesus became intangible at the sight of the people who had convicted him to die through dilapidation, but they didn't reach to touch him, again, inside their temple. The jews worshiped to kill their enemies. They thought that acting thus they would be agreeable to God. But Jesus is a Creator God and affectionate who creates his sheeps as the chicken creates his tender chicks. Jesus says that He is I AM and I AM is the God, the angel who was sent to Moses. Because Jesus is who He is. Jesus is God. XLVIII – Jesus makes new healings   26 God also said: We will make the man according to our image, in conformity with our likeness; (Genesis, I, 26). 7 Then the Lord God formed the man from the clay of the ground and he blew the exhalation of the life in his nostrils; and the man became a living soul. (Genesis, II, 7). 1 As he walked, he saw a man blind from his birth. 2 And his disciples asked him: Master, who sinned , this man, or his parents, for that he had been born blind ? 3 Jesus answered: Neither did this man sin, nor his parents; but for that the works of God would be manifest in him . 4 We must work the works of him who sent me, while it is day. The night comes and none can work at night. 5 While I am in the world, I AM the light of the world . 6 Spoken that, he spat on the ground , and made clay with the spittle, and anointed (Messiah, Christ) his eyes with the clay. 7 He said to him: Go, wash yourself in the pool of Siloam (which means: Sent ). He went, washed himself and came seeing. 8 Then the neighbors, and those who knew him by sight, as a beggar, asked: Isn't he who was sat and begging alms? 9 Others said: It is he. Others said: No, but he is alike him. But he said: I am that. 10 They asked him: How were your eyes opened? 11 He answered: The man who is called Jesus made clay, anointed my eyes and said to me: Go to Siloam, and wash yourself. So I went, washed and I received the light . 12 They said to him: Where is he? He said: I don't know. 13 They brought him who was blind to the pharisees. 14 It was saturday the day when Jesus made the clay and opened his eyes. 15 Again the pharisees also asked him how he received his sight. And he answered them: He anointed clay on my eyes, I washed myself and I see. 16 Some among the pharisees said: This man is not from God, because he doesn't keep the saturday. But others said: How can a man who is a sinner do such signs? And there was division among them. 17 They asked the blind man again: What do you say concerning him who opened your eyes? He said: He is a prophet. 18 But the jews didn't believe that he had been blind, and had received his sight, while they didn't call his parents. 19 They asked them: Is this your son, who you say that he was born blind? How come he sees now? 20 His parents answered: We know this is our son and that he was born blind. 21 But we don't know how he sees now; or who opened his eyes. We don't know this too. Ask him; he is of age; he will speak for himself. 22 His parents said these things, because they feared the jews; for that the jews had already agreed, that if any man would confess that Jesus is the Christ, he would be cast out of the synagogue. 23 Therefore his parents said: He is of age; ask him. 24 So they called the man who was blind a second time, and said to him: Give glory to God: we know that that man is a sinner. 25 He answered: I don't know if he is a sinner. I know one thing: I was blind but now I see. 26 They asked him: What did he do to you? How did he open you eyes? 27 He answered them: I have already told you, but you didn't hear; why do you want to hear it again? Perhaps do you also want to become his disciples too? 28 So they injured him and said: You are his disciple; but we are disciples of Moses. 29 We know that God has spoken to Moses; but we know not even where he is from. 30 The man answered: This is a prodigy that you don't know where he is from; however thus he yet opened my eyes. 31 We know that God doesn't hear sinners; but if any man worships God, and do God's will, he hears him . 32 Since the world began it was never heard that any one opened the eyes of a man born blind . 33 If this man were not from God, he couldn't do anything . 34 The jews replied: You were whole born in sins, and you teach us? And they cast him out. 35 Jesus heard that they had cast him out. Meeting him, he said: Do you believe in the Son of God? 36 He answered: Who is he, Lord, for that I believe in him? 37 Jesus said to him: You have already seen him. I AM him who talks to you. 38 He said: Lord, I believe. And he worshipped him. 39 Jesus said: I came to this world for judgment, in order to that they who don't see: they will see; and those who see become blind . 40 Some of the pharisees who were with him heard these things, and they asked him: Are we also blind? 41 Jesus answered: If you were blind, you would have no sin; but now you say: We see. So your sin remains. (John, IX, 1-41). 22 Then they come to Bethsaida, and brought to him a blind man. They asked him to touch him. 23 Taking the blind man by the hand, he left him out of the village; and when he applied spittle on his eyes, and setting his hands over him , he asked him: Do you see something? 24 He searched and said: I see men; because I see them as the trees : walking. 25 Then again he set his hands over his eyes ; and he saw clearly, and was restored, and he distinguished everything perfectly. 26 He sent him away to his home, saying: Don't go in the village. (Mark, VIII, 22-26). 10 The ax has already been placed at the root of the trees: each tree therefore that does not bring forth good fruit is cut off, and thrown into the fire. (Matthew, III, 10). 98. The disciples asked Jesus if the blind had sinned before being reembodied. Lo, they believed in the reincarnation and in the law of cause and effect. They knew that the sins can provoke defects in the body of the Spirit who reborns. But Jesus said he didn't have sins. He was blind to prove the works of Jesus. Jesus comes to bring the justice: he cured the blindness of he who believed in him. However, those who doubt and are blind guides who will be blind men in the next reembodiment. That is the law of cause and effect. 31 Again he went out from the borders of Tyre, and came through Sidon to the sea of Galilee, through the territory of Decapolis. 32 They brought to him one who was deaf and dumb; and they asked him to set his hands over him . 33 He took him aside from the multitude privately, and put his fingers in his ears, and he spat, and touched his tongue with the spittle; 34 and looking up to the heaven, he sighed, and said to him: Ephphatha! Which means: Be opened! 35 His ears were opened, and the obstacle of his tongue was taken off, and he spoke freely. 36 He ordered them that they wouldn't tell any man; however the more he prescribed them, the more they published that . 37 They were surprised and said: He has done all things well; farther he makes the deaf to hear, he also makes the dumb to speak. (Mark, VII, 31-37). 99. Jesus used his magnetism to cure and He interdicted that they commented the cures He did. We must never divulge the good we do. On the contrary. We must prohibit divulging the charity. 21 Jesus went out from there. He went to the sides of Tyre and Sidon. 22 Lo a canaanitish woman came from those borders, and cried, saying: Oh! Lord! Son of David! Have mercy on me! My daughter is painfully demonized. 23 But he didn't answer her a word. And his disciples approached and asked for him: Order her away, because she cries after us. 24 But he answered: I wasn't sent except to the lost lambs of the house of Israel . 25 But she came and worshipped him: Lord, succor me! 26 He answered: It is not good to take the children's bread and cast it to the puppies. 27 But she replied: Yes, Lord. But even the doggies eat crumbs, which fall from their masters' table . 28 Then Jesus answered to her: Oh! Woman, your faith is great! It will be done as you want. And her daughter was healed from that moment. (Matthew, XV, 21-28). 24 He stood up and went away from there to the borders of Tyre and Sidon. He entered into a house, and he wanted that no man knew that; but he couldn't occult himself. 25 Suddenly a woman, whose little daughter had an impure spirit, having heard concerning him, came and fell down at his feet. 26 This woman was a greek, a Syrophoenician by race. She asked him to cast the demon out of her daughter. 27 But he said to her: Let the children be filled first, for that it isn't good to take the children's bread to cast it to the puppies. 28 But she answered him: Yes, Lord! But even the doggies eat the children's crumbs under the table . 29 He said to her: Cause of this word, you can go; the demon left your daughter. 30 She went to her house, and met the child lain over the bed, cause the demon had gone. (Mark, VII, 24-30). 11 On the way to Jerusalem, Jesus was passing along the borders of Samaria and Galilee. 12 As he entered in a village, ten men lepers went to meet him. They stood far from him 13 and said aloud: Jesus, Master, have mercy on us! 14 When he saw them, he said: Go and show yourselves to the priests. It happened, while they went, that they were cured. 15 One of the ten, when he saw he was healed, turned back glorifying God aloud; 16 and he fell over his face at Jesus'feet, acknowledging him; this was a samaritan. 17 Jesus asked: Weren't ten cured men? Where are the nine? 18 Perhaps didn't anyone return to give glory to God, except this foreigner? 19 He said to him: Stand up and go your way; your faith saved you. (Luke, XVII, 11-19). 100. Jesus has mercy concerning the foreign greek woman who gives crumbs to the animals. Lo we also were animals and we must have mercy about the inferior beings of the creation. We must practice the material charity not only to the mendicants who beg crumbs, but also to the animals, which also like the food, which is excessive. Charity according Jesus is: “Benevolence for the whole world, indulgence for others'imperfections, pardon of the offenses.” (886 of SB). “God takes care Himself of all beings He has created, the most little they are; nothing is too much few for His kindness.” (963 of SB). “We can thus distinguish: 1 st , the inanimate (spiritless) beings formed only of matter, without vitality or intelligence: these are the brute bodies; 2 nd , the animate not-thinking beings, formed of matter and endowed of vitality, but unfurnished of intelligence; 3 rd , the animate thinking beings, formed of matter, endowed of vitality and having else an intelligent principle who gives the faculty of thinking to them.” (Allan Kardec, 71 of SB). The love of God encircles all the beings of the creation. God doesn't despise any being, neither the little plant, nor the cool stone. Everything, which God creates, is worth of being loved. We must love all the creation, which is perfect. Respecting the Nature, the Ecology and the environment is practicing charity. From ten lepers just one came back to glorify Jesus. “When anything happy reaches us, is our protective Spirit who we must acknowledge? Acknowledge God above all, without whose permission nothing is done; and then, the good spirits who have been His agents. What would reach us if we neglected to acknowledge? That which reaches the ingrates. However, are there persons who don't ask for, neither acknowledge but who succeed in all? Yes, but it is convenient to see the end. They will pay very expensive this ephemeral adventure which they don't deserve, because the more they have received, the more they will have to replace.” (535 of SB). XLIX – The parable of the rich and miserly man and the beggar Lazarus   19 Now there was a certain rich man who used to clothe himself in purple and fine linen, eating sumptuously every day: 20 There was also a certain beggar named Lazarus, full of festers, who was laid at his door; 21 and he wanted to be fed with the crumbs, which fell from the rich man's table ; yea, even the doggies came and licked his festers. 22 It happened that the beggar died, and he was carried by the angels to Abraham's bosom. The rich man also died and was sepulchered. 23 In Hades (the hell of the greeks, read "The Odyssey" of Homero, the greek), being in torments, he lifted his eyes up, and he saw Abraham far, and Lazarus in his bosom. 24 He said aloud: Father Abraham, have mercy on me! Send Lazarus to wet the point of his finger in water in order to refresh my tongue; because I am afflicted in this flame. 25 But Abraham said: Son, remember that you received good things in your life, but Lazarus equally the evil things; but now he is consoled here, and you are afflicted. 26 Besides all this, there is a great abyss between you and us, in such way that they, who want to pass from here to you, are not able, neither none can cross from there to us. 27 Then he replied: I pray to you, father, that you send him to my father's house; 28 because I have five brothers; for that he will witness to them, in order to that they also won't come to this place of torment. 29 But Abraham said: They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them. 30 But he insisted: No, father Abraham; but if one among the dead will talk to them, they will regret. 31 But Abraham answered him: If they don't hear Moses and the prophets, neither they will be persuaded, even one from the dead resuscitates. (Luke, XVI, 19-31). 101. The beggar Lazarus wanted only the crumbs, which fell from the table of the rich, but the avaricious man didn't give anything to him. “Why does God favor certain men, who don't seem that they have merit, with the gifts of riches? It is a favor to the eyes of those who see only the present; but, know it well, riches is often a proof more dangerous than misery.” (925 of SB). “Do you envy the joys of those who seem the happy ones of the world to you? But do you know what is reserved against them? If they joy only for themselves, they are selfish, than, the reverse will come . Complain of them quickly. God sometimes permits the bad to prosper, but his prosperity is, not to be desired, because he will pay for it with bitter weeping and gnashing of teeth. If a righteous man undergoes unhappy, it is a trial which will be counted if he supports it bravely. Remember the words of Jesus: 'Well-beatified are sufferers: because they will be consoled." (926 of SB). Concerning those who let themselves to die of hunger, The Book of the Spirits says: “However, don't believe he will be entirely absolved if he lost firmness and perseverance, and if he didn't make use of all his intelligence to pull out of the bog. Uneasiness above all to him if his desperation was born from the pride. I say to you, if he is one of these men whose pride paralyses the resources of the intelligence, who redden to owe their existence to the work of their hands, and who prefer to die of hunger before derogating to this they call their social position!” (947 of SB). Will the proud one, the avaricious one and the selfish one conform in living in the reverse ? “The bad rich man will demand alms there, and will be a prey to all the privations of misery; the proud one all humiliations; that who has abused of his authority, and treated his subordinates with disdain and hardness, will be forced there to obey a master still harder than himself hasn't been.” (983 of SB). "This which the man piles through an honest work is legitimate property which he has the right to defend," (Allan Kardec, 882 of SB). "There isn't legitimate property except this which is acquired without prejudice for other." (884 of SB). "Is the desire of possessing inside the nature? Yes; but when it is only for himself, and for your personal satisfaction, it is selfishness." (883 of SB). "There are insatiable men who accumulate without profit for anyone, or for satiating their passions. Do you believe that this is well seen by God? That, on the contrary, who piles through his work, in order to come to aid his similar ones, practices the law of love and charity, and his work is praised by God." (883, II, of SB). For accumulating goods the man "must do it in family, as the bee, through an honest work, and not to pile as a selfish one. Certain actual animals give example of social insurance for them." (881 of SB). Chico Xavier was a great bee who collected honey from his spiritist flowers in order to accumulate in his beehive. When he was a boy his stepmother made Chico Xavier lick the festers of an old man. It was his first cure done by him. Then wasn't Jesus who sent Chico resuscitating from the dead to refresh the soul of the men? Didn't Jesus resurrect a man called Lazarus? And didn't the own Jesus resurrect from the dead? Not even this way the men believed in them. L – Jesus multiplies breads and fishes again   29 Jesus got out from there, and came next to the sea of Galilee; and he went up to the mountain, and sat there. 30 And great multitudes came to him, bringing the lame, maimed, blind, dumb ones and many others with them, and they left them under his feet; and he healed them . 31 Such that the multitude surprised, when they saw the dumb speaking, the maimed cured, the lame walking, and the blind seeing. Then they glorified the God of Israel. 32 Jesus called to him his disciples and said: I have mercy on the multitude, because they continue with me for three days and they have nothing to eat; and I don't want to send them away fasting, for that they don't faint on the way. 33 But the disciples said to him: Where will there be so many breads in this desert place to fill so great multitude? 34 Jesus said to them: How many breads do you have? They said: Seven, and a few small fishes . 35 Then he commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground. 36 He took the seven breads and the fishes; and he acknowledged and divided, and gave to the disciples, and the disciples to the multitudes. 37 They ate all and were filled; and they collected seven baskets full of remained divided pieces. 38 They who ate were four thousand men, besides women and children. 39 And he sent away the multitudes, and entered in the boat, and went to the borders of Magadan . (Matthew, XV, 29-39). 1 In those days, when there was a great multitude again, and they had nothing to eat, he called his disciples to him, and said to them: 2 I have pity on the multitude, because they are with me for three days, and they have nothing to eat. 3 If I send them away fasting to their home, they will faint on the way; and some of them came from far. 4 But his disciples answered him: Where will one be able to fill these men with bread here in a desert place? 5 He asked them: How many breads do you have? They said: Seven . 6 He commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground. He took the seven breads, and having acknowledged, he divided, and gave to his disciples, to set before them; and they set them before the multitude. 7 They had a few small fishes ; and having blessed them, he commanded to set these also before them. 8 They ate and were filled; and they took up seven baskets of remained divided pieces. 9 They were about four thousand men. And he sent them away. 10 And straightway he entered in the boat with his disciples, and came to the parts of Dalmanutha. (Mark, VIII, 1-10). 102. Always after preaching Jesus used to cure and he healed so many that the evangelists didn't have time to write. Once again Jesus ectoplasmed breads and fluid fishes which fed the Spirits of those men thirst and starving of Jesus. 1 The pharisees and sadducees came, and trying him asked him to show them a sign from heaven. 2 But he answered to them: When it is evening, you say: It will be good weather, because the heaven is red. 3 In the morning: It will be bad weather today, because the heaven is red and cloudy. You know how to discern the face of the heaven; but you can't discern the signs of the times. 4 An evil and adulterous generation asks for a sign; but no sign will be given to you, except the sign of Jonah. And he left them, and went away. 5 And the disciples came to the other side and forgot to take bread. 6 Jesus sa
