If you are genuinely at the service of the good, as revealed by the good fruits that abound in your heart and around you, consider a distinctive honor to face these trials:
To be frowned upon by bad characters, even if they parade in the world under the well-starched cloak of hypocrisy.
To be disliked by evildoers, even by those who elaborate sophisticated masks of benefactors of communities of which they are take part.
To be observed with suspicion by manipulators, including the most refined and dangerous ones, who not only appear to act with good intentions but also believe that they do not sacrilegiously pressure the free-will of others, for their own benefit.
To be repudiated by self-seeking conventionalists, especially those who sophisticate the art of pleasing listeners and audiences, with disdain for their own obscured or even inexistent conscience, psychopaths which many are…
The Christ Jesus asserted that only false prophets are welcomed by their families and compatriots, and We would add, interpreting Him to current issues:
No authentic representative of the High-Above is well seen, well liked or well received by those who, consciously or not, side with the forces of evil – which do not want the progress of the customs, which repel transparency, which are not interested in sincere benevolence, which despise everything that Jesus came to preach with His sublime and undying example: the inclusion of social outcasts, the acceptance of all minorities, the practice of the principle of forgiveness, the duty of unrestricted solidarity, the concretization of the true and definite universal fraternity.

Faith, in its genuine expressions – which we will here designate as lucid faith –, constitutes a window of perception for a broader and deeper panorama of reality, both in the intrapsychic sphere and the context of the most complex elucubrations of cosmogony and teleology.
It is, so to speak, a refined form of intelligence, which transcends the narrow schemes of logical-mathematical reasoning and it is even further away from equating to atavistic and oppressive beliefs and superstitions of conventional religious dogmatism.
Quality spiritual conviction and experience lead individuals to the full power over their cognitive functions and their process of self-realization, besides inexorably unfolding them into movements of solidary commitment to people, organizations and humanitarian causes.
This exceptional type of psychospiritual power can be understood as a “superior intelligence”, without any hint of poetic or philosophical exaggeration, since human history itself reveals that this intellectual-moral potential was particularly obvious in the luminaires founders of civilizations on Earth, like Moses, Buddha, Muhammad and, of course, Jesus Christ.

In a more accurate observation, both from biology’s perspective, which integrates molecules and cells to organisms and ecosystems, as from physics’ point of view, which does not define boundaries among objects and beings (integrating them to one another, at the subatomic level), reality, as a whole, is a continuum.
In the final analysis, the whole Universe is a seamless fabric that reflects Itself, such as a magnificent multidimensional kaleidoscope – which used to be interpreted in the days of primordial Christianity, though the expression does not fully translate the idea, as “the communion of the saints of God”.
The incompleteness lies in the aspect of excluding from this metaphorical conceptual matrix the dark side of individuals, of events and of life itself, such as infirmity, pain and physical death.
Unfortunately, despite the importance of tackling the subject [of the undivided fundamental reality of the Universe], great care needs to be taken in the dissemination of this more advanced type of ponderation, psychologically, philosophically and spiritually speaking. This is because the transcendence of pairs of opposites and, in particular, of Manichaeism may sound, for primitive and/or too egoic minds, a praise for cynicism or for the lack of ethics and spiritual principles, when it is exactly the inverse: a refinement of the perception of right and wrong, a deepening and complexification of the understanding of morality and spirituality, obviously including, in considering a broader and more realistic spectrum of evolution, an infinite scale of stages of development of the feelings.
It is from the perspective of this more expanded worldview, for example, that one can support and encourage piety for someone who fell into the traps of crime, yet without ever approving, however, the criminal act.
Therefore, may no one deny or ignore the existence of evil in the world, but understand, through the acknowledgement of its presence within and outside themselves, that they have the opportunity to choose the practice of good, even if in a regimen of perpetual combat, learning and work, promoting the gradual establishment of the “Kingdom of God”, within one’s own heart and in the heart of the whole earthly humanity.

This passage of the Gospels, paraphrased here, must echo in the hearts of all, in this time of planetary crisis…
“Look at the lilies of the field, which do not weave or spin, or the birds in the sky, which do not sow or reap, and God Father-Mother dresses and feeds them respectively.”
O, men and women of little faith! The spirit of faith and the search for alignment with the Divine Flows of Nature are the fundamental experiences that each human being must now develop, in opposition to the excess of confidence in the idea that personal control and power would be enough to solve problems and define routes of destiny.
Here is the powerful response of Life to the current era of delirious anthropocentrism, which was once again advancing toward a dangerous cycle of egocentric, megalomaniac, narcissistic and atheist cynicism: a very insignificant being, in its size and organic complexity, like an “invisible” virus, can put a check on the entire monolithic and apparently indestructible edifice of the human arrogance.
This alarming pandemic and its correlated socio-economic pandemonium happen to reveal the Omnipotence and Omnipresence of the Creator to the hypertrophied egos, intellectually and morally myopic, which, full of diabolical haughtiness, do not recognize the obvious smallness of every creature before the magnificence of the Divine Creation, stupendously orchestrated, from the subatomic microcosm to the astrophysical macrocosm.
This global crisis does not constitute a punishment of Celestial Origin, but an emergency treatment against the fury of self-extermination to which this civilization was heading to, through multiple possible routes, such as the emergence of nuclear wars, the collapse of the ecosystems or the crash of the stock markets and the world economy.
In this 21st century, may we learn, more quickly and profoundly, the serious and urgent lesson of the need for universal fraternity, so that we do not need a sequence of tragedies, just as it happened in the last century, in which we suffered two world wars, separated by the 1918 pandemic and the infamous Great Depression of the 1930s.
These are the fraternal wishes of those representing, in this public document, Our Planetary Mother Mary Christ, in the name of Her Son, Our Master and Lord Jesus Christ.

As national economies recede, the outbreak of the new strain of the coronavirus continues, drawing people’s attention to a forgotten and elementary aspect of the human condition: mortality.
This is a time of resurrection of the soul – of recognizing the importance that the Spirit deserves to have, which it always had, always has, and always will…
How much comfort can atheism and the theologies of material prosperity offer to humanity, in this critical moment, of critical ponderations, about critical issues that stun the masses? How can someone place safety on false foundations, built upon the quicksand of the inherently inconsistent “stability” of the physical domain of life and its “reliable” means of protection against microorganisms or global financial collapses?
A pandemic appears, like a ghost, in the scenarios of popular imagination, and the panic threatens to drag into the precipice the already faltering economies of fragile nations and an entire global web of finances that has been very frayed for a long time.
The purpose of this alarming situation is the same as that of any human suffering: to disseminate the message that one must prioritize the essential and seek a more developed awareness of responsibility toward the common good.
Tens of thousands of daily deaths, year over year, as a result of malnutrition and gross deprivation, in the field of sanitation and hygiene, or even due to the lack of basic medical and hospital care, never caused panic in the societies or affected economic indexes, nor did they ever steal the tranquil nights of sleep from the vast majority of the inhabitants of the Earth.
However, a few thousand deaths, in the course of a few months, caused by an epidemic that can knock on the door of any person, indeed, reveal the deplorable driving force behind the existence of billions of creatures in the orb: ferocious selfishness. That is, the largest percentage of the population is concerned only with their own lives and that of a few loved ones.
The current crisis, therefore, is a call to a more compatible degree of sociocultural maturity, for this civilization already so advanced in scientific and technological terms. It is no longer acceptable that the earthly community, so integrated on the field of communications and transportation, carries on acting, thinking and feeling in such a tribal level of conscience, in the worst sense of the word.
What is there to say, then, of the implied ecological aspect? Has there not been, decade after decade, a disregard in relation to the invaluable heritage of the biosphere? Has the agenda of unsustainable development not been placed above the fundamental value of life, which is undeniably superior to any other interest of individuals or isolated groups?
The human being is not the center of the Web of Life – Life, in itself, is, regardless of the level of biological complexification of this or that species, as rightly proclaims, in the physical plane of existence, the so-called “deep ecology”, in contrast to the primitive postulate of the “shallow ecology”, of anthropocentric nature.
Thus, let us raise this question: and what if the Living System of the Earth, which existence is well defended by the “Gaia Thesis”, considers that the human being on its surface is the inopportune “virus” that progressively destroys the health of its ecosystems? Is the current coronavirus the villain, or would this humanity be the “pathogen” to be extirpated?
Continuing on this, let’s say, line of reasoning: and what if we, of the Spirituality of the Good, want to authorize a long or hard enough “shock of conscience” to awaken hardened minds, organizations and governments, in order to compel them toward a little more mature and responsible level of lucidity?…
Panic and dread of multitudes consumed by wild egocentrism, petty prejudices and unspeakable hypocrisies… this fear does not move us. On the contrary, we judge it to be a very healthy evolutionary pain, due to the probability of working as a circumstantial brake that promotes reflection, for a humanity that is too individualistic, in this era of generalized cynicism and scientific negativism.
Some results are already visible. Suddenly, one of the globe’s most polluting countries, China, reduces its emissions of toxic gases into the atmosphere, the international economy threatens to collapse by a domino effect in the stock exchanges, with market sectors severely compromised, and even public agglomerations are slowly being prohibited in several parts of the orb.
The whole world turns its attention to a “common enemy”, and here we see the sense of human family appear, under the merciless whip of the specter of death, without distinction of social classes or privileged national segments.
Since the terrestrial humanity does not unite for life and for the fraternal motivation of fighting for the common good, it is then urged to join together, hastily and somewhat clumsily, to combat a “common evil”.
This evolutionary principle of large-scale scourges will remain active, no matter how bothersome or discredited it may be. The planet has reached a state of evolutionary emergency. If the strain of the new coronavirus and the economical collapses it may cause do not fulfill its educational and spiritual purpose, new catastrophes of global proportions will occur, one after the other, in cycles of greater or lesser destructive extension, as the circumstances demand them.
May this human community, recalcitrant in the vices of evil, wake up as soon as
possible – this is what we, the Representatives of the Greater Good, who cannot, in any way, violate the free will of individuals or collectivities, even if they head the abyss of self-extinction, wish.
