2012-12-18. Action, not Words
Alabama, US of A, December 18, 2012.
Teacher: Thought Adjuster.
Subject: “Action, not Words.”
Message received by Oscar.
Thought Adjuster: “The Master expected His followers of the past and the present to live a spiritually rich life in order to obtain experiences of spiritual value and to progress in the understanding of eternal truths. Only in this way would the words they shared carry real weight and the message of the kingdom of heaven would be transmitted in a clearer, more efficient and eloquent way. A message can be more easily understood and accepted when is given by a sincere personality. How can so many pretend to speak about loving their neighbors when they have not practiced this love themselves?
“The Master did not try to prevent His followers from speaking about the kingdom. However, he insisted that they should aspire to be everything they intended to preach. In this world there have been many preachers who deceived themselves. When their followers observed their behavior and the way in which they lived their lives, they often received only disappointment and deception. When this happened, every morsel of truth that their words may have had was seen with doubts.
“Imagine a true spiritual leader. A leader is one who first travels the path that she intends to show her followers. When her followers perceive that she truly lives in the way she intends to teach and they observe the fruits of the spirit in her inspiring life, the truths that this leader preaches will become a living seed inside their hearts. The example of a spiritual life is the most effective illustration that a soul hungry for truth needs in order to decide to follow the proposed path.
“Let only those who have authority speak! Only those who have lived a life in progressive consecration to the will of the Father will obtain the authority to speak of these things thanks to the value of their experience. You can only explain and describe to your peers what you have already experienced. You can only teach what you have learned. Only a false teacher pretends to teach things that he does not still understand. The results of such teachings are always error and confusion.
“Live a life like the one the Master has invited us to live and this sublime experience — along with the joy of knowing and experiencing the true freedom of being a child of God — would be all you need to share with more honesty and efficacy the message of a life in a universe filled with love for all beings. The confidence to teach these truths does not come from any human authority but from the spiritual confidence that the Thought Adjuster and the Spirit of Truth confer to those who have the courage and the faith to follow the path to perfection.”
