karmel 2

Volgens de traditie van de Griekse berg Athos...

zeilde de H. Maagd Maria, vergezeld van Johannes, van Jaffa naar Cyprus om er Lazarus te bezoeken. Toen het schip uit koers raakte en afstevende op het - toen heidense - Athos, moest het voor anker gaan vlakbij het huidige klooster van Iviron.

De Maagd Maria liep aan land, en overweldigd door de prachtige en wilde natuurlijke schoonheid van de berg, zegende ze hem en vroeg aan haar Zoon om hem tot haar tuin te maken.


G.H. Amores




Er werd een stem gehoord die zei: 

Ἔστω ὁ τόπος οὗτος κλῆρος σὸς καὶ περιβόλαιον σὸν καὶ παράδεισος, ἔτι δὲ καὶ λιμὴν σωτήριος τῶν θελόντων σωθῆναι. ('Laat deze plaats Uw erfdeel zijn en Uw tuin, een paradijs en een toevluchtsoord van heil voor degenen die gered willen worden.')

Vanaf dat moment was de berg ingewijd als de tuin van de Moeder Gods... 

en verboden terrein voor alle andere vrouwen.



Historische documenten over de oude geschiedenis van de berg Athos zijn schaars. 

Het is zeker dat er al sinds de vierde eeuw, en mogelijk sinds de derde eeuw monniken zijn.

Tijdens het bewind van Constantijn I (324-337AD) woonden er zowel christenen als volgelingen van de traditionele Griekse religie. Tijdens het bewind van Julianus Apostata (361–363AD) werden de kerken van de berg Athos opnieuw verwoest, en verstopten christenen zich in de bossen en op ontoegankelijke plaatsen.

Later, tijdens het bewind van Theodosius I (379-395AD), werden net de tempels van de traditionele Griekse religie vernietigd. Maar de lexicograaf Hesychius van Alexandrië stelt dat er in de vijfde eeuw nog een tempel en een standbeeld van Zeus de Athoniet was.





In de zevende eeuw...

na de islamitische verovering van Egypte... 

probeerden veel orthodoxe monniken uit de Egyptische woestijn een andere, rustige plek te vinden. Sommigen van hen kwamen naar het schiereiland Athos.

Een oud document stelt dat monniken 'hutten van hout bouwden met daken van stro' en dat ze 'door het verzamelen van fruit van de wilde bomen in voor zichzelf geïmproviseerde maaltijden voorzagen.'

hagar-jibril




Then Allah commands Ibrahim... 

to leave Hagar and Ismail in the desert.

And Hagar is running around, carrying her baby, looking for anyone to help her.

She is in an abandoned place, there is no on there, right.



All of the sudden, she heard a sound.

She said: Come forth, if you have anything good to offer.

Suddenly, it was Jibril.

All he did was, he struck the ground with his heel.

When Jibril did that, the water obviously started coming from the earth...

and you know, in huge loads, Zamzam comes bursting out fo the ground.



And the mother of Ismail, she carved out the well.

Because she was afraid that the water would go all over the place...

and nothing would be left.



And the Prophet says: had she not done that...

the entire earth would have been touched by Zamzam.

Each and every single part of the earth.

retributie 3

That experience and that mission concluded in Egypt... 

in the lands of the great patriarch Moses...

one of the successors of the Ark of the Holy Alliance. 

My preparatory experience was completed there... 

so that returning to the Holy Land in the following years...

My Heart would already be ready to live what I came to live for you.



In the lands of Moses, in the region of Mount Sinai...

the Father made Me even more aware of the immensity of His Mercy...

the infinity of His Piety for this project of the planet, for human redemption... 

for all the generations that would come after Me to the times of today.

-

In that sacred place of Mount Sinai...

your Master and Lord was able to know the eremitical life...

because in the absolute desert is where we find only God to quench our thirst... 

to comfort us, to strengthen us, and to renew us.




In that sacred place of Mount Sinai... 

I was able to witness, with My internal vision, the sacred treasures of the Spiritual Hierarchies of the universe, and everything that would happen in the coming times...

with the future generations that would have the Grace to awaken to the Cosmic Consciousness, and to know that life on this planet is much wider and infinite than it seems... 

that future generations might be able to know that life does not end here...

and that true life is found in the stars, in the suns and in the constellations.

her-nieuw 5




David in the Wilderness



her-nieuw 3

Draw close to Me... 

to feel My Grace... 

and the renewing faith that I can give to your soul.

With ardent aspiration, may you overcome yourself more in love and service each day. 

In this way, you will be in constant renewal... 

and your heart will feel the wholeness of living the correct path.

-

Rest in Me while you need to... 

and, in this time, open to perceive and recognize... 

the lack of love that exists in people.

Through generosity [vrijgevigheid,edelmoedigheid,mildheid]... 

manage to open the door of the Pity of God... 

so that more and more souls may feel... 

that being in communion could also help renew everyone who needs it.


At all times, show Me your spirit of apostolate... 

and guide souls into reconnecting with God... 

so that they may approach consecration... 

especially at the moment of sacrifice... 

and of offering themselves... 

as victims of My Heart.


I thank you for keeping My Words in your hearts!

Who blesses you,

Your Master and Lord, 

Christ Jesus


[12.2.20]

her-nieuw 2

If you thirst for Me, find Me in the desert... 

because I know all hearts that give their life for Me... 

and for the Plan of My Father.

In this defining hour, I find you again for the second time in this sacred space, in which My Spirit rejoices, because the Doors of the Heavens are opening, to have His Graces descend on those who most need them.



If you thirst for Me, seek Me in the desert... 

because I Am the inexplicable Source, the extraordinary Spring that emerges from the depths of each being, to give them spiritual life and consciousness in these end times.

Come with Me and cross your inner desert, for I will never cease to guide you. My Purpose is that you walk by My side every day, so that you may know My Plan, which is the Plan of the Great Brotherhood.

In this sacred place of Peru, My Father sent His Messengers, so that the world would become aware of the truth, a truth that it did not yet know, a truth that is above this Cosmos, and beyond it. He sent His Messengers from the Universe, from Heaven, and beyond the Heavens, so that through the Truth, those who were awakening could know the reality of the Universe.

-

Today I come with this testimony for you... 

for this cannot be lost from human consciousness.

The treasures that come from the Universe are incalculable. The human being cannot measure them, nor appreciate them. But if your hearts are grateful, you may come to know them, and know about the dimension they encompass, when souls receive them in wholeness.

-

My Voice is proclaimed in the deserts of the world... 

to testify to humanity that the Plan must continue in spite of what may happen, and that you will know the Purpose when you adhere to this grand Plan, that My Father has designed since before Creation.

I Am the emanation of this Source of Love that nurtures you and gives you life, Higher Life. 

That gives you essence, renewal and Grace.



In this silence of the desert... 

the most precious mysteries are held... 

which once, as in this place in Peru, were shown to those who were self-summoned... 

as were the prophets and the Patriarchs... 

to live the Purpose of God.

-

I know that many would like to know, companions, what it is that you are to do in this life. 

I tell you, love the Plan even though you do not know It... 

and you will know It.

Each one of you is an important piece of the Great Project of God and of all the Universe.

You are stars that fell to Earth to be redeemed... 

through the offering of My Presence in the world... 

of My Passion and My Resurrection.

You come here to be self-summoned, to fulfill a goal, a mission, that goes beyond your capabilities and your feelings. For the one who is in My Father is in His Law, is in His Consciousness, in His Divine Purpose, in His Divine Thought.

I bring you the possibility, companions, of taking that leap to the path of surrender, which is a path of constant renewal, deep transformation, in which all the fears of the Consciousness are set aside.

-

In this sacred desert... 

this essence is to be found... 

which once tried to motivate humankind of the surface, so that they would be able to carry forward what the Messengers of the Universe had announced in this goal of living the Mission of the Plan.

Now I bring all of you, who through My Words in these last three years have been prepared for this moment, to this desert, in Consciousness and in soul, where once, in this world, the truth began to be known, which many always wanted to conceal.




Universal Life, the essence of Life and of Sacred Knowledge, is a living existence that is experienced in all the Universe in real time, a time that the world has still not reached, because of its indifference and its errors.

But to those who do want to follow Me, and open the eyes of the consciousness and of the heart even more, in order to see what is beyond this, I will give them what they need and they will not waste time.

In the past, I taught My Apostles, as we walked through the deserts, about what this Higher, Universal Life was, in which all the consciousnesses of the world are included, despite not consciously knowing it.

That is why souls are tempted by My adversary to step out of this purpose, the purpose of their awakening.

So it was that, after two thousand years, when I had already ascended and governed a large part of the Universe, as I govern it today, I sent the Messengers of the Universe, the heralds of the Universal Message.

Many believe that between Christ and the life of the Universe there is a separation, or that it is a mix of beliefs and of philosophies.

It is not this way, My companions. 

Those who claim they are wiser are mistaken.

From the beginning until the end, I will be that Great Star that governs all things, being an emanation of the Love of God.

It is because of this love that I lived among you and for you, that the Universe experienced its transformation and set aside its duality, to find the new path, the path of Ascension.

When you are in the deserts, you must not fear the emptiness, that which you still have not managed to achieve.

Thus, I am here, because I Am that Source of Love that will satiate you.

Today I bring you the Principle of My Renewal, because it is time that you go through this portal. Many consciousnesses have been waiting for this moment for a long time.

-

Your prayer in this Marathon is heard from the deserts such as this one, in Peru. Your words reverberate and rise up, crying out to God for His Mercy for the world.

Know that today My Heart receives all your entreaties, those that you profess through the prayer of Mercy, and that your consciousnesses are here with Me, in this desert, to cross it in consciousness and without fear.

For I Am that Heart that still offers Itself for this unfaithful world, for this cruel and indifferent world.

My Heart comes here for the souls that respond and that dare to follow My steps in trust and that, little by little, enter My Christic Path, the path of complete redemption of the consciousness.

Today I have come to give you thanks for understanding My Plans, and for those who are happy for having accepted this moment with Me.

In quietness is to be found the great silence, the silence that all the deserts offer. 

It is the moment in which souls may unite with God in wholeness.

I give you peace and I give you My Grace so that you may receive them in love and in renewal for your consciousnesses.

I hold you all in My Heart and I pray for you and for the world in this desert of God.

I bless you, In the name of the Father, 

the Son and the Holy Spirit. 

Amen.

woestijn

All of this, the Father taught Me, when I was here in this world....

living the fourty days in the desert.

What I bring to you today, is this experience of Love, of Life...

also fulfilled within Me in this seemingly isolation of the desert.




I do not only invite you to find God in this desert... 

that each one could be experiencing in this moment...

but know that I am there, invisible and silenty,

accompanying each one of Mine who dares... 

to cross the desert of their inner world...

to find at some moment the Light of the Kingdom of the Heavens.

-

Have joy by feeling thirsty for Me.

Have joy when you do not find Me.

Because I am strenghtening you...

I am converting you into My Apostles.



My Hand will always be extended towards all those who need it.

Follow My Path, and everything will be renewed.

Mainly within you.

And for this to happen, you must not resist or submerge into yourselves.

Do not create unnecessary conditions, be intelligent and have faith...

because the desert is not forever.

But it is the great opportunity for you to divest of yourselves,

for you to become naked again before God...

showing that which you truely are, and not that which you seem to be...

revealing what your souls are in essence and in spirit...

because everything else is passing and temporary.

woestijn

Be in the desert... 

like Mother Teresa of Calcutta... 

who, in spite of being in the void and in solitude, knew how to find the Lord in her neighbors.

And everything she sought in inner compensation faded away. Her faith became stronger and was consolidated in simply fulfilling the Will of God, and comforting the poor, in body and spirit. It was in this way that Mother Teresa found God and merged into Him, even though she did not entirely perceive Him.

-

Be in the desert... 

like Mother Teresa of Calcutta... 

strengthening yourself inwardly, neither in the sensory world nor in a mystical union with God, but rather in a palpable [voelbaar, tastbaar] faith and a constant overcoming, proving and experiencing the Presence of God in those most in need, being nothing to the world and to the self, and everything to God, everything to the Heart of the Redeemer, Who tiredly beat in the poor and the oppressed, in the lonely and the lost.

-

Seek, child, to live your desert... 

consolidating your faith. 

Know that each desert brings a leap into infinity, and this happens in many ways. If you thirst for sensations and inner experiences, thirst for self-realization and seeing God, and yet He keeps you in the void... 

discover that maybe the Will of God will be revealed to you where you least expect, in that space where it is hard for your love to reach, where your resistances block your steps and do not allow you to enter, where your weaknesses prevent you from discovering the need for love. 

There is God, waiting for you.

-

In the desert... 

leave your desires and aspiration, your needs, your deepest anxieties. 

And when you have nothing, the Creator will show you where He is hidden. 

Calling for you, seeking your gaze, your faith, your heart.

Who knows, child, maybe your desert will be the desert of Mother Teresa of Calcutta...

where God is revealed from the outside inward... 

and from within your fellow being... 

to your inner being.
