Divine Messengers

On the Apparitions of the Virgin

2020-09-28T11:06:07+00:00

(Excerpted from the esoteric Lexicon)

To a great extent, until now humanity has demonstrated a need for symbols that impel it to tread evolutionary paths and to achieve subtle realizations. Although humanity often attaches itself to this formal manifestation, forgetting the essence, the Hierarchies in charge of its formation and instruction (see HIERARCHY OF INSTRUCTION), have always used the projection of images of beings to which humanity can give respect and reverence, as a means of overcoming limitations inherent in the terrestrial bodies, limitations which may continue to exist even while the human inner consciousness knows reality and has overcome them. The Apparitions of the Virgin are instruments for the connection of humanity with the state of the original purity of matter. Authentic visionaries channel messages of peace for humanity and through the devotion of souls during the apparition the energy of the Virgin can work spiritually in the planet and liberate it from many negative burdens which could represent for nations and peoples an impediment for their evolution. They occur in this way because the symbol of the Virgin veils an aspect of the manifestation of life on the planet and is in attunement with the intraterrestrial centers (see INTERTERRESTRIAL CENTER). This is understandable for those individuals who are tied to material density and who are unable to directly capture the truth and who need to draw closer to the world of spirit. Therefore, it is important to emphasize that when the image of the Virgin is projected either in the subtle planes or on the material level, the Hierarchies are presenting, not the figure of a person, but of a universal and cosmic symbol which can be contacted in different ways – the more that the human consciousness is closer to the Source, the more interiorized it will become.

In this book are collected the messages that were transmitted by the Virgin Mary, Mother of Jesus, during the period of one year to the visionary monks of the Grace Mercy Order – Mother María Shimani of Montserrat and Friar Elias of the Sacred Heart.

The purpose of this work is to bring to each heart the messages of the Blessed Mary, also known as the Mother of the Divine Conception of the Trinity. She speaks to us of the necessity that all know of Her messages, which speak of the importance of prayer for peace in the hearts and between the nations.

As a result of these readings, one can feel inspired to respond to the genuine call for Peace and for the Good, and to convert ourselves into an instrument of the Hands of God.

How Visionaries Hear and See an Apparition

2016-06-14T10:33:27+00:00

“The speech of an angel or of a spirit with a person is heard as sonorously as the speech of one person to another, yet it is not heard by others who stand near, but by the person themselves alone. The reason is, the speech of an angel or of a spirit flows at first into the person’s thought and by an internal way into the organ of hearing and thus actuates it from within, whereas the speech of a person flows first into the air and by an external way into the organ of hearing which it actuates from without. Hence, it is evident that the speech of an angel and of spirit with a person is heard in the person, and since it equally affects the organ of hearing, that it is equally sonorous.” (Emmanuel Swedenborg)

On Prayer

2016-06-14T10:25:35+00:00

“I am here to announce a new symbol of Peace, which is to Love Prayer above everything else… because I count on you as instruments to enable Me to issue forth My Peace…” (Mainhdra)

“Prayer is fundamental because there are beings in need of light, support, liberation; there are hearts crystallized by suffering and souls in different stages of ignorance. A regular praying rhythm can increase for ourselves the possibility to render many services in these mysterious and infinite levels of life in the Universe.” (Trigueirinho)

A prayer practice, constant and sincere, deepens the experience of encountering God.

The purpose of a prayer meeting so sublime is the activation of the inner light, the light of the cells. With this, our vibrations and energies become organized and harmonized, which allows the soul to flow more easily in our daily lives. We start to become aware of a subtle vibration, quieter, more peaceful.

Human ideals are raised to divine ideals and the result of this is a unified personality and an elevation of character. Prayer leads the ego to seek help in the spirit. In this way, the bodies live the redemption. The material body surrenders to the spirit. The material body becomes docile to the spirit. From this point life starts to be a prayerful life. Through prayer a channel is opened and what exists in the internal dimension is manifested in our daily lives.

Particles of love are attracted to form a channel of light that prevents, or disables the action of chaotic and destructive energies. Love is a vibration that involutionary energies do not know, and so it is a protective shield for everyone. This is one of the greatest services rendered by the prayer!

When we perform group prayers all this power is increased and we have the opportunity to ignite a large beam of Light. Imagine various islands uniting, forming a great country, which connects the continent of Light. A prayer group becomes an army of the Light.

When we do group prayer with sincerity, love, and conscience we can generate a magnetic field of peace and harmony. The Light emanated from a prayer group can collaborate in the sustaining of planet Earth. A sincere group can perform profound work for the aura of the planet. A group that assumes the sacred act of prayer is a group that assumes being a server of Light on Earth’s surface.

The planet is asking for help. We cannot wait any longer to answer this call. Prayer is a way to help. We can be channels for the Light to be more present. A group that works with prayers can be an inspiration to humanity.

Many beings need help but do not know how to invoke it or how to receive it. Prayer is this help. The Light generated by prayer is able to penetrate and transform the negative energies housed in people and environments. In this sense prayer is a powerful “detergent” to alleviate pain, grief, guilt and all the vibrations that imprison and impede a fuller life.

Within all of us exist the conditions to love, to serve, and to be Light. Let us pray together, in gratitude to life, to God and to all humanity.

(Adapted from the Vida Orante website)

“…And if, by praying, we get to know compassion, we will be more able to donate our energy to so many internal works that can be developed in the planetary consciousness. In Her instructions, Mainhdra considers a prayer victorious when it does not succumb in the face of obstacles that can arise during its practice; a luminous prayer, that which brings light to places where darkness reigns and that lightens indecisive hearts; a prayer of peace, that one which calms the souls in conflict and that fulfills auras that are empty of God; and jubilant prayer, that which eliminates the suffering of souls who can already walk and that elevates to superior planes those who have already taken the first steps on the path of the Good.” Trigueirinho

Mother Maria Shimani on the Process and Content of the Apparitions and Messages

Excerpts from Transcriptions

Complied for members of the North American Network of Light
August, 2012

“At each meeting with Me the Kingdom of My Peace is established and the world is relieved of the pain and suffering that many hearts still live. And if you join Me in prayer not only will you be with Me but you will also be with the Will of God. I find you day by day not only in prayer but also in your hearts that must rejoice at this time for meeting with Me.” Mary, April 13, Salto, Uruguay

May 25, Fatima, Portugal

Mother Maria Shimani : And with this feeling of gratitude in the heart, of an immense gratitude for everything that our Divine Mother gives us, let us commit ourselves to deepening in Her words and in everything that She told us today.

And now as in all Apparitions, we will make a report on what happened while the coming of the Mother was being prepared for and also what happened during the Apparition in the planes where She manifests.

During each Apparition when we start with prayer and afterwards during the Apparition, a series of movements happen which take place in the planes where our Mother manifests. In general these are movements performed by angelic hosts. All these movements always have a motive. As we get to know these movements we understand the task of our Divine Mother a little better.

When we started the cycle of public Apparitions, in the beginning we did not report what happened in the other planes. Later on She asked us to make a synthesis of what took place so that everybody could understand what happens when the Divine Mother comes to us and then understand how Her task develops…

Mother Maria Shimani: One of the things when would like to clarify is that this small gesture on our part, when we do it sincerely and for love of the Divine Mother, when we overcome our prejudices and we offer ourselves for this service, this has a repercussion in Heaven that we cannot even imagine. Especially if we are conscious that we are performing this movement out of love for others. We do not perform this movement to go ask the Virgin for something for ourselves, we do it because it is something that She asked of us, and for others and not for ourselves. Because this is so rare in humanity, it has a great value in Heaven.

…It is very important to know that, with respect to the process of the Apparitions, what She transmits and reveals as well as the depth with which She approaches each theme depends not only on those who are here in the front, but on each one of you. If you do not collaborate in the attunement, the condition is not created for Her to come closer. If we are distracted or indifferent this means that, as representatives of humanity, we do not have interest in that which is happening.

The Divine Mother has a permission from the Creator to manifest Herself. The more we are attuned and interested, it is as if we are saying to God and to the Universe that we are deeply thankful for what is happening. Therefore, the permission for her to manifest with intensity each time will be greater. So the approaching and the task that She performs with us, the Graces that She may pour depends on us because we know that the love of our Divine Mother is already here.

Thus we all participate actively in the process of the Apparitions and this is the most important thing that all of us need to know. It does not depend only on the angels, on the Divine Mother, on Friar Elias or on the monks who are here. It is a task that we realize amongst all.

May 26, Fatima Portugal

The task intensifies more and more as the days go by, so we need to be more strong to accompany Her wherever She goes. And when we speak of being strong, we mean all of us, because you also need to accompany us. Each of you, from your homes, from your groups of prayer, need to accompany us and accompany Her in this task. Thus it is how we will form all of what She calls a Marian Army. So we will wait for all your hearts in these places, in addition to all those who can physically go there.

April 12, Casa Redencion, Uruguay

Mother Maria Shimani: This task the Divine Mother has asked Friar Elias, receiving every day early in the morning this message to be transmitted to the whole humanity, is a permanent guide, it directs us so that we may be led under Her mantle and Her protection.

We should deepen into these messages that, despite seeming so similar, in each one She gives us a key that is for us to discover. If we could follow, lovingly, the indications of the Mother, day by day, our lives would be different; but as we do with all mothers, sometimes we do not listen well or we do not want to listen to them. But now it is time to pay attention.

Readings on the theme of the Divine Mother, as She has appeared in the past, and in her current manifestations

Assembled by Micha-El and Beatriz Berkowitz for the class

On the Phrase “Mother of the World”
From Esoteric Healing, by Alice Bailey (p. 362-3)

The various ways in which the phrase can be used can mean quite a number of things. It can mean:

•    The feminine aspect in manifestation, symbolized for us in many of the world religions as a virgin mother and in the Christian religion as the Virgin Mary. It is that substance which enables Deity to manifest.

•    Nature itself, the mother of all forms.

•    The moon also, who is the symbol of the generative, creative life which gives birth to forms and is therefore the symbol of the form nature.

•    The concentration of the feminine force in nature in some individual in female form who is then called the “World Mother.” Such an individual has never existed in our planetary life, though the avatars of a previous solar system, expressing itself through planetary life, always took this form. But not in this solar system. The tradition of such appearances is purely symbolic, inherited from the previous solar system from which we inherited the matter which all manifested forms are made. This symbolism has come down from the far-off period of the Matriarchate, which had a religion that recalled the ancient ways of the earlier system and in which period of time Lilith symbolized the World Mother, until Eve took her place.

Paul Brunton Exercise on the Divine Mothers

Balance the "As if I am enlightened" exercise: Counter by "As if the Divine Mothers were present" whenever I speak to others, whatever I do, alone or in society. It notes and judges my speed and action. In the first example I am alone always; but in the second I am not, there is the other. The idea is not so much that it notes and judges our actions as that we are in a holy presence.

Shankara of Kanchipuram on the Divine Mother

The only way to get cleaned of one’s sins is to penitently prostrate at the feet of the Divine Mother. Let us, therefore, surrender ourselves at the feet of the Mother and find peace and happiness.

…the Divine Mother, known by different names as Sarasvati, Lakshmi, Paravati, etc. are but manifestations of the same Supreme Divinity, who is none other than that Creative Energy who forms part of the static Para-atman, both together constituting the Father and Mother of the Universe and to whom creation, preservation and destruction are mere sport.

Ignorance is a disease for which enlightenment is the only cure. The Divine Mother alone is capable of bestowing this milk of knowledge, removing our ignorance and satiating the hunger of the soul… we must yearn for the Grace of the Divine Mother so that we can obtain from her the milk of enlightenment. For that reason we must be constantly thinking of Her and praying to Her.

Orphic Hymn to The Mother of the Gods

Virgin, mother, nurse,
whore and crone
we honor you

Lioness, you destroy
the pride of bulls,
You are the axis.

You are the heart
enthroned in every being.

Your love protects us.
You feed and care for us.
You guide the seasons.

God and mortals
flow from you
like seas and rivers.

Mother of goodness and bounty,
we rejoice in your gifts,
amazed by your kindness.

You tame every wildness
and make wild every street.

We pound the drum for you,
mighty queen, Celestial,
primal, you give life,
sustain it and take it.

Help us, wife of time,
we are your incense

On the “Virginity” of the Divine Mother

Each and every year Hera would bathe in the Spring of Canathus as a way of renewing her virginity. This ritual of renewal was almost identical to the one performed by Aphrodite who, every year, would dive into the waters off the island upon which she had originally washed up. When Aphrodite came out of the water, it appeared as though she had just been re-born, and the same thing was also true with Hera. Renewing a Goddess’ virginity did not mean that she actually became a virgin again; it simply meant that she appeared to be refreshed and renewed, as though she had just been re-born. (from the Greek myths)

From Emperor Julian’s Oration on “The Mother of the Gods”

Who then is the mother of the gods? She is indeed the fountain of the gods who govern the apparent series of things… She is the mistress of all life, and the cause of all generation, who most easily confers perfection on her productions, and generates and fabricates things without passion, in conjunction with the father of the universe. She is also a virgin…

From the Kaballah (Zohar V1, p. 371 ff)

The Shekinah “is represented as the passive female who receives and transmits the influence which descends from the active male forces… it has no light or definite color of its own, but, on the other hand, precisely because of this, it acts as a mirror for every light and color.”

In relation to the upper world, it is the last link in the chain of emanation, acting as a receptacle for the supernal flow of influence and representing the extreme limit of the divine being. In relation to the lower world, however, it is the very beginning and highest point, assuming the role of mother and ruler of the world.

Shekinah is the divine presence, existing and active in the world and among the people of Israel.

From Helena Roerich “The Mother of the World”

The old world rejected the Mother of the World, but the New World begins to perceive Her lustrous veil…

I have already told you that the Mother of the World conceals Her name. I have already shown you how the Mother of the World veils Her face. I have already made mention about the Mother of Buddha and Christ.

Indeed it is time to point out that the one Mother of both Lords is not a symbol but a great manifestation of the Feminine Origin, in which is revealed the spiritual Mother of Christ and Buddha.

She it was Who taught and ordained Them for achievement.

From times immemorial the Mother of the World has sent forth to achievement. In the history of humanity, Her Hand traces out an unmistakable thread.

On Sinai Her Voice rang out. She assumed the image of Kali. She was at the basis of the cults of Isis and Ishtar. After Atlantic, when a blow was inflicted on the cult of the spirit, the Mother of the World began to weave a new thread, which will now begin to radiate. After Atlantis, the Mother of the World veiled Her Face and forbade the pronouncement of Her Name until the hour of the constellations should strike. She has manifested Herself only partly, never has she manifested Herself on a Planetary scale.

Comments of Mary, Mother of the Divine Conception of the Trinity, On Some of Her Attributes

2016-05-27T10:33:26+00:00

(Excerpted from the Messages of Mary)

Faith
“In the eyes of God, the soul lives its faith.”
“Come into My Peace and live in the Faith of My Immaculate Heart”
“Peace for all. Faith for each heart.”

“Follow the path of faith that My Son is revealing to you.”
“…the prayer from the heart awakens faith that is supported by the Flame of the Holy Spirit.”
“When you have converted the heart you may know that faith has gently settled like a Living Flame in your lives.”
“…it is on this path where you may find peace and faith for the heart.”

Peace
“My words of Peace want to be like the Heavens in the hearts of all souls. I want you to be able to recognize celestial peace so that through pure prayer, made with the heart, you may live peace on Earth.”

“In this way My children, each of your hearts will commune at the table with My Son, and will be able to witness His Sublime Heart of Peace”
“Little children: each group of prayer must irradiate its seed of peace, so that it sprouts through your prayers.”
“The more you believe that God is everything for your lives, the plans of Peace may be a living reality for all My children.”
“God wants for this hour to arrive with His Fountain of Mercy and Prodigies, through all the Marian hearts that answer the call for peace and redemption of all creatures of this world.”
“…you will need to build a path permeated by My Peace and My Love.”

Humility and Charity
Children, God waits from you for an infinite opening that is born from your little hearts, an opening that brings you to donate yourselves in charity and in humility so that you are able to see the face of My Son in each of your brothers and sisters.
Find a safe refuge in My Son, Jesus, so that in this way He fills you with His gifts of peace and love. Search, through prayer for the Kingdom of Heaven. Cultivate meekness in your hearts so that in your lives is awakened humility. Remember all the works of charity you may perform, from the one to the other.

Humility
For this dear children, the ample practice of permanent prayer will permit you to mature as consciousnesses so that the wisdom of the Holy Spirit may lead you in humility to the Will of God.
Cheer up your soul when you sing to God. Smile to the life that was gifted and given to you, live the example of humility for life.
Dear children, if you had conceived a humble spirit humanity might already be different and it would be permeated by a Higher Grace.
Imitate Jesus in the simple examples so that your lives may find the path of humility which all humanity should pass through before the Throne of God.
I want, My children, that you may learn to love through the example of humility that Christ expressed when He lived in the world and shared His prodigies and teachings of love with Me, His Mother.
Dear children, the joy of the heart will take you to live a true humility that will conduct you to the purity and to the transparency of each one of the intentions of life.

Charity
My children, each act of love and charity will place you in the Kingdom of the Father, according to the plans of Peace that My Heart proposes for this end of time.
With immense joy to Heaven, today renew the vows of charity and love that you have made to God the Father.

Forgiveness
This path of reconciliation and merciful forgiveness that you are being called to live is in the name of all of humanity that, during these last times, offends God.
God the Father is calling you to quickly renounce yourself and to forgiveness among people; that way everything can change.
Your lives are contemplated by My Son and He sees you all as souls in a great school that is called the school of forgiveness and redemption.

Fraternity
Cooperate with the presence of the fraternity that My Son irradiates for each soul. Know My children, that deep in all your hearts you are one with God.
Thus you will be able to live the fraternity that is needed for the conversion of the world and especially, of all the souls that have distanced themselves from the love of God.
