| Benjamin Teixeira de Aguiar by the Spirit Eugênia You felt butterflies in the stomach, shivered, scrambled the words, you got short of breath and your heartbeat accelerated in the chest full of energy, feeling reconnected with life, you tell yourself: this is what I needed! Easy, though, my friend, with your conclusions.You have gotten in touch with an experience of awakening of the libido and of the powerful psychic energy that makes one recapture one’s own vitality. However, if you remain only with the libido, with no serious infrastructure of feelings and values, everything breaks down and collapses devastatingly, sooner or later. Learning to differentiate the expressions of feeling is of capital importance,to avoid a dangerous existential bifurcation and destroyng one’s own life. Between the authentic conjugal love and the pure and simple eros, in their initial manifestations, there is not much difference. Physical attraction has more to do with the “Chemistry of senses” – instinctual elements, often with evolutionary purposes, implicit in the genetic program of the body. But often the genuine love also hides behind the first flurry of sensations of the initial moment of an encounter. How to differentiate: one is only sensory and emotional, the other wakes up high moral expressions of the soul. If someone makes you a better human being, more useful, more centered, more in control of yourself helping you develop potentials, as well as overcome limitations, you will be standing before love. It will not be love, though, if you cannot devote trust, tenderness, feelings of friendship and dedication to the person who is the object of your attention. Feeling disgust, shame, fear or distress, next to the source of attraction, is also a warning sign. No one feels aversion to what will really do one good and to what one has a nuclear connection through the spirit. Nip the evil in the bud, my friend, if you realize that what you feel is just a torrid and charring physical attraction to someone – this order of passion is dangerous. However, if you notice other factors promoter of psychological integration, transcendence and wholeness arising, between the folds of feeling, go ahead, invest heavily and bet on your happiness.

Benjamin Teixeira de Aguiar by the spirit Sister Brígida Through the study of your mental states, you will have clear clues of what you should do for your happiness. There comes a time when the obvious becomes more obvious and the individual realizes that one always had, very close by, the answer to everything one wanted, and simply did not think to break with cultural, emotional and egotistical rules that prevented one from seeing his own path of bliss. Get rid of all pretension, of all thought of supremacy, of superiority, of all wish to look better or greater, and, at the same time, preserve the impulse of growth, progress and spiritual realization. This way, you will reach the level of perfect balance that we suggest exists: the true platform for happiness. In this subtle plateau lies the point of perfect harmony, for your soul to express itself with no tensions, no distortions, and no torments, free, pure, real, and whole. Do not seek to fulfill expectations; do not aim to fit into pre-established schemes. Listen to the deep voice of your consciousness. Not the superego’s ideal of hypocritical puritanism, but the supraconsciousness that suggests peace and happiness to you, in the natural flows, ebbs and interflows between the energies of the body, mind and spirit, with no worries, no disguises, no requirements, no terror, but, paradoxically, with passion, with life, with soul… Stop, now, your inner drama: of demanding yourself to be what you are not and doing what does not correspond to the true vocation of your spirit. Free yourself from the fallacies you have been programmed to believe or came to trust with time. Establish now, once and for all, the rule of personal truth, of the Light that lives within you, of the archetype of wholeness that already has all the answers and needs only to be listened with attention, felt and experienced. Flow and be… the rest will come. Message received on December 2, 2001. 35 While Jesus was still speaking, some people came from the house of Jairus, the synagogue leader. “Your daughter is dead,” they said. “Why bother the teacher anymore?” 36 Overhearing [ignoring] what they said, Jesus told him, “Don’t be afraid; just believe.” 37 He did not let anyone follow him except Peter, James and John the brother of James. 38 When they came to the home of the synagogue leader, Jesus saw a commotion, with people crying and wailing loudly. 39 He went in and said to them, “Why all this commotion and wailing? The child is not dead but asleep.” 40 But they laughed at him. After he put them all out, he took the child’s father and mother and the disciples who were with him, and went in where the child was. 41 He took her by the hand and said to her, “Talitha koum!”(which means “Little girl, I say to you, get up!”). 42 Immediately the girl stood up and began to walk around (she was twelve years old). At this they were completely astonished. 43 He gave strict orders not to let anyone know about this, and told them to give her something to eat. (Mark, 5:35-43) The Spiritual Master Eugenia Comments on the Passage of the Gospel: Often we find in Our Master and Lord Jesus this attitude of waiting for situations to reach a limit of irresolution, so that He can fully manifest His Condition of Ambassador of the Creator for the Earth and His moral ascendency over physical, psychical and human elements of the planet. Still noteworthy, in this gospel passage: Jesus is not impressed by the appearance of finitude of possibilities (the news of the girl’s death), in a universe of infinite possibilities, as presently revealed by particle physics. “The girl sleeps” could be understood as “the girl is disconnected from the spiritual reality” – in contraposition to the concept of “awake”, meaning “the Buda” –, as we all find ourselves, in different levels of childishness of the soul, before the great truths of Life. Frequently, we do not see, like the child’s parents and the Apostles perhaps (this is why Christ says: “Don’t be afraid; just believe.”), how to revive the ideal’s flame that seems to us dead and extinct forever… And suddenly the Master, Present in the name of God, specularly, in the Voice of our own Consciences or of Those who represent It, accompanied only by the matrixes of the psyche, that is: the two basic psychosexual poles of the unconscious (“the girl’s mother and father”), as well as the three apostles more in tune with Him, because they could not only understand Him, but also assist His healing’s energetic effort– personifying in them the powers of resilience of the human mind –, brought back the motivation and the soul from the lost idealism, symbolized by the girl, returning her to life and also to movement, because the words “began to walk around” give us note that there is no legitimate ideal that does not turn into meritorious action. The age of 12 years, as being the typical period of menarche, translates to us the idea of fertility that follows this moment of cure and how Jesus, like in the passage of the “Fig Tree”, appreciates not only the attitude of action, but mainly the production of good. He severely warned not to boast His glory, to demonstrate that the real inner posture of those who align with the Supreme Good is not of showing off an alleged condition of superiority – that is: it is not by the ego that one reaches the great achievements of the Spirit –, but rather moving away from the state of idolatrous astonishment to the benevolent service to others, sharing with others through the practice of fraternity, the Divine Grace that has been received. In contrast, upon arriving at the house of the girl’s father, he also strongly reproved the reverse emotional state of those in the ambience: of vicious lamentations for what apparently had no solution. Finally, the Christ, with the perfect efficiency that was peculiar to Him, offers us the lesson of not being bothered by the laughter of those who disbelieve our potential of doing good, ordering all to leave – not giving them, any citizenship in their own Mental House – and moving on, immediately, to the room where the young lady’s body lays lifeless: our languid and fragile souls, before the reviving touch of the Sublime Spirituality… (Text received by Benjamin de Aguiar, on October 22, 2011.) “Jesus left there and went to his hometown, accompanied by his disciples. When the Sabbath came, he began to teach in the synagogue, and many who heard him were amazed. Where did this man get these things?” they asked. “What’s this wisdom that has been given him? What are these remarkable miracles he is performing? Isn’t this the carpenter? Isn’t this Mary’s son and the brother of James, Joseph, Judas and Simon? Aren’t his sisters here with us?” And they took offense at him. Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor except in his own town, among his relatives and in his own home.” He could not do any miracles there, except lay his hands on a few sick people and heal them. He was amazed at their lack of faith.” (Mark, 6:1-6) The Spiritual Master Eugenia Comments on the Passage of the Gospel: Jesus, yet incarnated, Was a Christ – as He Is -, and even so, in the face of His countrymen’s contradictory mental emanations of doubt, He had His Powers restrained, not only because suspicion creates a kind of insulating or “suppressing” effect of Heaven’s Graces (as it occurs with paranormal phenomena, well known to parapsychologists and those who study mediumistic manifestations – this is the reason why disbelievers disturb, ironically, the appearance, around them, of the evidences that they state to be seeking), but also because distrust generates the karma of not deserving these blessings of the Higher Planes. We have explained, more than once, that intellectual doubt is different from suspicion, which has a moral character. The former is open to new ideas and experiences and is willing to accept different facts and reasoning, if they are well grounded. The latter reveals a stingy bad will and an aprioristic declaration that something or somebody has no value, regardless of how much (T)this (V)value is evidenced – that is: a strong indication of lack of honesty of those who present suspicion. If this deplorable occurrence happened with Our Master and Lord Jesus, imagine what happens with those much less evolved than Him. The representatives of the Divine Light are always present, in the physical domain of life, in all communities, at all times. No people or century is left without the presence of these “living mirrors” of the Higher Spirituality, although some of them are so fogged by the perfidy, malice and disbelief of many, that they pass practically unnoticed – what unfortunately is very common these days –, treated as if they were vulgar creatures (when not as charlatans), at a loss for the social groups they take part into, since the grandeur of the Message they convey, if received with the consideration due to these Heaven’s Envoys (as they are: human messengers, but from the Heavens), would promote a much greater level of happiness and peace to these groups, made miserable and mediocre by their own responsibility. However, as it happened to Jesus, if you want to identify the messengers of Heavens, observe what happens with these different individualities when they are slightly away from their most direct circle of personal influence, just as, in the “surrounding villages” and even in other cities of Galilee, a cascade of inexplicable phenomena for the human perspective, happened through the Messiah. These current disciples of the Master of the Masters – respecting the proportions of spiritual elevation, in relation to the Greater Model – are spokesmen of Jesus Himself, who perform wonders (although substantially eclipsed here or there) in the bodies, minds and hearts of numerous people, even though the people continue to doubt what their own eyes see. To conclude our brief interpretation of the biblical text, the greater of all prerogatives of the condition of “prophet” – the envoy of Heaven –, which justifies, even, Heaven’s signature on the various “miracles” that happen around him/her, is explained at the beginning and at the end of this passage from the Gospel, chosen for our study: “Jesus taught”. In many occasions of His short life on Earth, Christ stated, before performing great wonders, as in the episode of the “resurrection of Lazarus”, that He did so, so that those witnessing such Prodigies believed He was speaking in the Name of “The One who sent Him”. The Voice of Truth resounds, through the centuries, upon the Earth. But, as Christ Himself said, only those who have “ears that hear” listen to It, or, in other words, those who have reached a minimum standard of psychological and spiritual maturity to perceive the subtleties and even the obvious realities that are offered, to those wishing to benefit from them, by these servers from Heaven, provisionally confined on Earth.
