SEPTEMBER NEWSLETTER 2019
YOU ARE NEVER ALONE!
Spirit communication received
by
Yvonne Crespo Limoges
The effects of war, violence, natural disasters, sicknesses
of mind, body and soul…afflict all the inhabitants of your world, one way or another.
Yet, in the midst of all your heartbreak, sorrow, fear, pain
and anguish – you are never alone.
Your spirit protector is ever by your side
instilling, within and about you, their beneficial spiritual vibrations of calmness,
goodness, inspiration and courage; and, emitting the special Love that comes from
that Divine Source to help uphold you through all of your many struggles, pains,
tribulations, traumas and the daily drudgery widespread on your material world.
Also, from the spirit world are the spirits of your families
and dear friends, from present and past lives, doing their part to help
ease your distress, anxieties, doubts and loneliness; trying hard to comfort and
console you; their empathy allows them to know your pain, and they see your
tears!
In addition, when your physical body sleeps, these spirits directly
interact with yours, when it returns to the spirit world each night. They reach
out to provide guidance, counseling and healing, as well
as to remind you of the just cause (the why) of what
you are going through, the kind of life you chose; the one you pledged to undergo
with strong determination in your present existence.
Knowing all this, please
try to open up your hearts to all these loving spirits who care so very much for
you personally and for your spiritual progress!
They reach out to
help you, although you may not see them – they are there! At moments of pure desperation
- you may feel their loving sweet impressions! So, try your best to be emotionally
and mentally receptive to receive their loving, valuable and productive influences.
Be reminded that pain in all its forms suffered upon the
earth washes away the impurities of your soul; all the trials, tests and atonements
elevate your spirit. In this way, sentiments can be awakened in order for it to
have more of an inner appreciation and further comprehension of compassion, forgiveness,
sympathy, empathy, benevolence, charity and fraternal love.
Dear ones, as you advance, your suffering will be less and
you will eventually reach true happiness.
The Divine evolutionary process provides for your spirit’s enlightenment,
enhancing your intellectual and moral elevation. So be strong!
The Creator is All Love and you are always provided with spiritual
assistance to fulfill your soul’s journey!
THE MORAL ASPECT OF A PERSON
Inspirationally
received
by Yvonne Crespo Limoges
Nature versus Nurture - Scientists and philosophers, have down through the ages,
discussed whether the behavior of human beings is a product of their genes (biology/DNA)
or environment, and/or both.
Yet, there is another aspect generally
not included, and that is, we are all spirits at different and unique intellectual,
emotional, psychic and spiritual stages, at varying degrees of development.
Life is like a school for
learning and progress, and we are all at diverse and differing levels of knowledge,
moral development and of comprehension. This explains why prodigies and spiritual
prophets as well as criminals and killers, exist on the same planet!
At the core of human
personality are the moral and intellectual aspects of a person (the spirit) which
has unevenly developed and been shaped by its decisions and personal experiences
in this life and throughout eons of past lives in its soul’s evolution.
A spirit’s level of morality
is the major determining factor regarding a person’s genuine personality.
One might expect that intelligent
people should not act as badly or with evil intent (being so bright), yet spirits/people
mainly evolve first more in intelligence than in goodness throughout their
reincarnations. Alas, it is their intelligence that allows them to be so very clever,
cunning and devious.
This causes us to ask many
times, how did so-and-so who appeared so smart, so nice and harmless, be able to
take actions that turned out later to be so harmful, hurtful, and sometimes horrific.
Their morality has NOT yet evolved to the level of their intelligence.
Spirits/people of evil
intentions (or actions) are really just ignorant; they do not yet understand goodness
and/or the benefits of being good. They may even revel in their evil ways
and actions. So, pity them and pray for them, although naturally we may feel
hurt or upset with difficult emotions due to them. They will learn what they
need to learn (and reap what they have sown) eventually, in their present or future
lives. Try to forgive; for we have much need of forgiveness ourselves. Even now,
we still carry remnants of our shortcomings, flaws and vices from our own past
lives.
In general, if we know the
people in our everyday lives: spouses/partners, family, friends, acquaintances,
co-workers, bosses, and others – that each is at their own evolutionary level (on their growth in past
lives) and have their own unique view of life, we can try to take this aspect of
their personality into consideration on how we perceive them and interreact with
them.
This is a more comprehensive
view in seeking to understand a particular person. This should make it much easier to accept/understand
why people act in so many ways that we find so incomprehensible to us.
We are all developing,
learning and evolving, and if we are discerning and acting with right conduct
as well as putting forth strong effort and willpower towards goodness (for
ourselves and others), this provides for our faster progress in all areas.
Some spirits learn quickly, some
progress slowly, and some stay stationary for a while. Some spirits have lived more
material lives than others. Some of these may have become wiser but not nicer; others
may have chosen unproductive lives or followed wrongful ways. Also, spirits do reincarnate
here from other planets.
Yet, we are individual spirits ALL EQUAL before the Creator,
each on our own soul’s evolutionary journey, and sooner or later (mostly
through trial and error) all must progress to reach its ultimate potential.
Therefore, we should try to
be less judgmental or critical, and more tolerant and patient of others. We
should be more forgiving and more humane towards all person’s (for we don’t
know their soul’s history of a myriad of lives or the experiences they have had).
We need to be more concerned with
our own thoughts, words and deeds, for it affects how swiftly we can elevate
our own moral and spiritual development.
Life after lifetime, our
selfishness and pride will very slowly diminish, and, our humility, compassion and
charity will certainly increase, within ourselves and encompassing all people with
- UNCONDITIONAL LOVE.
CARE OF THE BODY
Inspirationally received by Alysia Pape
Before the Holidays, this is a reminder that along with your
spirit, you have a physical body to take care of provided by God in
order to fulfill your responsibilities on Earth.
Make sure you go to the doctor when you're sick, and when
you’re supposed to, as they recommend.
To those with conditions such as cancer, lupus, diabetes, etc.
and those with other medical conditions, make sure you get check-ups regularly;
without checking the progress of the conditions you have, or check-ups for any
new ones you may acquire, is not being as careful as you need to be (although for
so many, no health insurance and limited finances are big obstacles).
Your body is a gift; even if that body in this lifetime has
issues. It is your duty to take care of it. Eat right, exercise to your own
limits and take your vitamins. Do the best you can.
Mental health as well as emotional health is also very important;
do not neglect these. Make sure you see the correct doctor for the
correct problem. If you feel something wrong, seek help!
Also, everything in moderation. Over-eating, and no exercise
is not healthy. By now everyone knows smoking IS bad for you in any form, be it
old or new. Drinking in excess, eating the wrong foods, not getting enough
sleep or too much, may harm your body even over a little bit of time.
Let's not forget that personal hygiene is very important. As
the new generations come into this life, personal hygiene (as well as good
manners) seem to have gone untaught or not emphasized enough. Young ones please
pay attention! There's no need to look in the mirror every few minutes,
but try not to neglect your body or abuse it!
Take care of yourselves the best you can, so you will not
have so many regrets on return to the spirit world, on how you lived your material
life.
POINTS TO PONDER…
Written by Yvonne C. Limoges
Earth’s Health
On Sept. 20, the TV news reported “4,600 events in over 150
countries” were held, mostly by children, about climate change. Started and lead
by teenager Greta Thunberg, who gave a very stern and passionate speech on the
23rd at the United Nations, demanding the world’s leaders take immediate
action on our changing climate.
Our children will live in a world of the adults’ making, but
chances are very good we will be reborn again on this very same planet.
I wonder what conditions WE will find on Earth then?
The Sept. 2019 TIME magazine
issue reported the federal minimum wage for tipped workers has not changed since
1991, it’s only “$2.13 in 17 states,” and “…more than 4 million people
work for tips; 2 in 3 women.” They also reported, that “Low wage service
jobs are expected to grow most in the American economy in the next decade.”
Continued lack of the
ability to pay for affordable housing, for transportation, sufficient food, for
medicine and medical care brings on great anxiety, stress, instability and desperation
(homelessness & suicides are serious problems) and I believe adversely affects and erodes the
social fabric of our society. Change is needed.
We are our
brother/sister’s keeper!
FIRST CAUSE
Written
by Julie L. Harper
The Creator is First
Cause of all things; something cannot be created from nothing.
The infinite Creator
is the designer of an infallible, just and loving system.
Everything created
is governed by the Divine Laws; both material and spiritual, that work in
unison within an extraordinary structure of cohesion. Only a
Sovereign Intelligence could devise such a brilliant plan!
May we all take time
each day, to honor our Maker and to appreciate the gift of existence from
an extraordinary and supportive life-giving force!
And, may each of us
try to fulfill our purpose to progress by love.
We can start by
striving to emulate the superior and providential characteristics of the
love that is seeded within our soul, and that by which we were created.
TO THOSE WHO
SUFFER
Written by Miguel Vives
“Take heart my
brothers and sisters! Those who suffer allow your body to fall to pieces and
succumb to pain, but always maintain a strong spirit: in the practice of
submissiveness and of valor, maintaining your love of God, of our great Teacher
Jesus, and in fulfillment of the Divine Laws. Remember, the rewards will exceed
all your hopes and desires.”
(Excerpt from the book A Practical Guide for the
Spiritist by the famous Spiritist medium & healer from Spain, and translated
from Spanish by our Founder Edgar Crespo and available on www.amazon.com)
CERTAINTY OF A
FUTURE GIVES HOPE
Written
by Amalia Domingo Soler
(1835 – 1909)
…The progress of humanity has its principle in the
application of the law of justice, love and charity, and this law is founded on
the certainty of the future…
Take away this certainty, and you will take away
from it, its fundamental cornerstone. From such a law all conditions of man's
happiness derive. Only it, can cure all the plagues of society…
(Excerpt from the book Luz del Porvenir [Light
of the Future] of writings by above famous Spiritist, published in Malaga,
Spain by the Allan Kardec Spiritist Publishing Company – a book distributed
freely - by the La Luz del Camino [The Light of the Road] Spiritist
Center in Alicante, Spain; translated from Spanish by Yvonne C. Limoges)
NOTE: This lifetime is not all there is! We
live on in the spirit world AND in future lives! Also, we will live on more peaceful
worlds, as we evolve. We will ultimately reach a greater state of inner happiness.
That is what sustains me and gives me great HOPE! – Y.L.
A PRAYER
The Creator’s Divine Light of Love and Hope shines down upon
us. May we be receptive and deserving so as to utilize that Supreme Energy to uphold
ourselves with moral courage as we struggle through the trials and tests that
is life!
AMEN
