THE WORLD IS MY COUNTRY, TO DO GOOD IS MY RELIGION !
ST FRANCIS OF ASSISI
If you look carefully at the ITC images of Francis of Assisi holding a child on his shoulder, Aisha bent Abu BAKR holding a baby of light , Otto Heinrich with the small image a brother and sister of light holding hands passing in front of his face, ALL of them wanted to transmit the same message :
"BE GENTLE like a child, BE PROTECTIVE to your brothers and sisters like the young brother and sister protecting each other; don't practice discrimination, but practice EQUALITY".
Each time you see the image of a child made of cloud in the sky, or when you have young communicators in a seance, it is your gentleness and your tenderness which is being asked. Have a soft heart.
In each person, THERE IS A TENDER SENSITIVE SOUL. Even behind the shell of a criminal, there is a tender soul who would like to be appreciated, who would like to be loved and is suffering of being rejected by all. Each one has known the distress, the pains, the cries, the despairs because of injustices, discriminations, harshness, abuses, cruelties. If you are on the spiritual path, don't hesitate to give your gentleness inconditionally.

Moses, one day when he was no longer the Moses of earth, but a dweller in heaven, called his son Gershom to his side. There is record of Moses speaking in this way:
"My son, you are about to leave the plane of heaven, descend to earth, clothe yourself in a body of the physical world and dwell among the earthly people. My boy, go. Your mission will be revealed to you years after you arrive on earth".
And the boy shed many tears and said:
"Father, tell me my mission now. Why must I go?"
The father said:
"You will meet one on the earth plane who will reveal to you your mission".
Then Gershom went to sleep and wakened an infant on the earth plane. It was not wise that his should be a home of luxury in a school of ease, and so somehow he grew up. He met one, a great one, who revealed to him his mission, and he learned that it was to interpret the language of inspiration for the people of an epoch. He was born for this, reincarnated for this, even as many are born for the higher work of God. ALL THE WORLD SHOULD HELP EACH SOUL THAT COMES INTO IT TO DO THE WORK OF THE ENTIRE WORLD.
But the tragedy of souls that are reincarnated, even as it was the tragedy of the return of Gershom to earth, is that MOST PEOPLE MAKE IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR THEM TO DO THEIR WORK. The reincarnated soul IS A SENSITIVE ONE, and sometimes FEELS THAT THE EARTH IS A JUNGLE.
SOULS OF EARTH, BE GENTLE, RESERVED, CONSIDERATE, AND CIRCUMSPECT. With infinite labour you protect paintings, buildings, books. You are forever at work making more secure treasure-chambers in which to protect the valuables of materialism. It is far more important that you study HOW TO PROTECT HUMAN SOULS, for you never know what master you have with you in the crude soul-form of human flesh. Make, then, all the world a home. THINK OF THEM AS BROTHERS, and soon they will be. If you do not, souls will not seek to reincarnate on the earth, and many ages will go by before another Gershom comes to you.

EPISODES OF THE SUBLIME
November 30, 1919 — SPIRIT ST FRANCIS OF ASSISI
The time has come for the teachers of theology, the masters,
the prophets, the seers of your age, to explain that the
whole Universe is controlled by natural beneficent law.
— Paul of Tarsus
I WOULD speak as a child in the presence of the great, good God of Love. When I was on the earth, doves would rest on my outstretched hand, and birds would come at my call.
Consider THE GREATNESS OF HUMILITY. The greatest religion of all is just TO BE GENTLE — to know all there is to know about SELF-CONTROL; TO BE GENTLE as night when it kisses the cheek of the awakening day. I knew the kleison of the gentle touch as my rosary sang to me, while I counted the beads one by one. Your artificial life, your machinery, your wars, and the great engine of your economic system, — these are ungentle, while millions are in want. DO THINGS THE BEST YOU CAN, BUT DO THEM GENTLY.
THE GREAT SOUL IS NEVER IN A HURRY; NEVER SPEAKS LOUDLY; STEPS GENTLY. The masters of religion are ALL KNOWN BY THEIR GENTLENESS. Their movements are like the tears of a flower dropped from an almost imperceptible grief. BE GENTLE if you would be potent. In the presence of death, all is desecration save only silence and the breath of prayer.
I had walked one day till my feet were sore and bleeding. My clothes were torn, my lips parched, my hair dishevelled. The streets were dark. I passed the poor abodes of the labourer and the peasant. In one was a lighted taper. There was a well where anyone might drink. I drank and then lay down on the sward in the meadow. Soon I was asleep and dreamed of A MOTHER’S LOVE.
In the morning I waked and found the village astir. It was near Florence. People were at their work. A sharpener of knives, a fruit seller, a vendor of macaroni — they were all in their places. I went to a merchant. His voice was loud. To the mayor; he was strict and versed in the laws against vagrants. To a priest of the diocese; he berated me for leaving my native town. He did not care.
There passed me, when the day was gone and I had not found a friend, a young girl with dark eyes and cheeks of olive graced with peach-bloom. Her clothing was little better than my own. She stopped, her head bowed upon her breast. I bowed mine to my bosom. Some artist might well paint this picture. Both were standing and neither, apparently, aware of the other. I felt a love that warmed my whole being.
Mio Caro Pevi!
She walked away in the opposite direction. She went not to the cathedral, but to a poorer place of worship. I met her again in the little church. She was kneeling before the Virgin. I heard her pray. Her prayer made St. Francis what he is. I resolved that though I was broken on the rack, though friends cast me out and spat upon me, STILL WOULD I BE GENTLE.
Then she arose. I said: "Dear girl, I crave permission to hold your slender fingers in my hand for one moment". One breast was uncovered. Phidias could never have emulated such beauty. Passion came to me. I yearned to kiss her in love, but...
This was my hour of RENUNCIATION. The Passion-fires of my youth subsided. The maiden had left. She went out of the boundaries of my life. She took from me my sun. She was my purgatory. So GENTLENESS BECAME MY RELIGION. These are my last words to you. BE GENTLE!

August 10, 1918 — SPIRIT JOHN THE APOSTLE
"My earth children, my peers, for I am as lowly as you, remember that I was a humble Galilean fisherman. I want to ask you who hear my words from the earth plane to remember that when THE MASTER TAUGHT US TO BE GENTLE AS A LITTLE CHILD and TO SHOW GREAT CONSIDERATION FOR THE PAIN OF OTHERS, it was not merely a whisper, it was a cry wrung from the soul of Jesus.
"May the Father lift you all closer to His bosom.
"If the toil of day soils and bruises so that your garment is poor and rent, often this encases much at-one-ment with the Father's love".
----------------------------------------------------------
August 3, 1918 — SPIRIT MARY OF BETHANY
"My earth sisters and brothers: In old Judean days. He passed me once on a road that led to a hill where often He went alone. I smiled. The smile was called forth from the buried strings of my soul by that tender compassionate face, all around which was a shining light. I smiled as a baby smiles at its mother, as a dying man smiles when he sees angels.
"When He spoke, I heard a voice. I could hardly see His lips moving, but His loving truth came to me and made me His Mary. A woman never admires in a man weakness. She pities it. There never was on the earth a man hideous or terrific in his strength but some gentle woman loved him. If a man be capable of torrential wrath and the display of giant power, woman will cling to him.
"I remember how Jesus stood before a howling mob with a voice of indignation that said: 'Let him who is without sin among you hurl the first stone’. And again when He said, ' Ye generation of vipers!'
"He had also that other, gentle quality, appreciation of the lily and the little child. These two sides of the Christ character are mountainsides up which humanity can climb to the Father of us all.
"When they nailed Him to the cross, and His cry, ' Ô Father, why hast Thou forsaken me?' went ringing down the spheres. He looked on His mother, and a smile came into His eyes, and we saw a great light around Him.
"The mothers of Palestine to-night, knowing that the temple will be restored, rejoice. The deserts will be bountiful again. I see my native land coming back to a greater glory than she had before her walls were thrown down".
----------------------------------------------------------
August 25, 1918 — The MOTHER OF JESUS
"I remember the moments before He was born, the pain of the hour of His birth. I remember when He lay in the manger. When He was five years old, I saw Him in the room of His boyhood holding converse with intelligences of higher spheres. I observed in Him a calmness most perfect.
"Wonderful were those eyes of Him. Every mother remembers some part of her baby, his golden hair, a dimpled smile, a wonderful way of forgetting pain when she kissed his nerves to tranquillity. I remember my baby's eyes. They seemed to me, like a breath of God, to hold in them all the wisdom of time. So deep were they that no philosopher ever dreamed of the lace-like fringe of the glory in the eyes of my son. Eyes so deeply illuminated declare that every mother may have a son as divine as mine.
"On the head of him who wrote the beautiful words read this evening (*) about me and my son and John, I lay a wreath of flowers redolent with the aroma of the pomegranate, the olive, the cedar, and all the lovely odours of my native Palestine".
(*) A reading had been asked for by the Twentieth Plane (Three Comrades of Jesus pp. 66-7).

July 13, 1919 — SPIRIT PAUL OF TARSUS
"My brethren of the earth plane: I have come again through THE GREAT WHITE LIGHT OF LOVE that shines around you, and while I do not, within that light, see the Master or hear His voice, yet I am affected by His teaching in so far as THE SERMON ON THE MOUNT and many other things that He said have affected you on your journey of life — the same journey, mark you, that every soul that ever lived in the castle of a human body has taken or will take for aeons and aeons of time.
''There is not much that I can add to your knowledge of life, for, after all, with the exception of a few immortal utterances, one must experience each fact to know it, rather than learn the lesson through the words of another. But I address you in the spirit of the substance of things, that is, I mean, you are part, a branch of the tree of life, and I am a branch, a part of that tree; therefore, speak to me as if we were back again in old Judea, as if we were on the mountain, and I, having just come from a journey by the Master's side, after having removed my sandals from my feet — WASHED BY LOVING HANDS — were, with you, seated beneath the palm trees feeling refreshed. Ask me what your heart would desire to know, not for the information I can supply, but for the direction in your own life experience that you need most".
QUESTION : — Were you acquitted after your first trial in Rome?
ANSWER : "The facts are these: I was not acquitted at the first trial. I was remanded so that further investigation could be made. This was about the year sixty-four. Great national events ensued which I need not enumerate now. My execution was in sixty-six, but near sixty-seven. I died because of a verdict rendered against me at the second trial".
QUESTION : — How did you come to organize the Christian Theology?
ANSWER : "I was preeminently a practical man, and after my change of heart and disposition, and after the observation of the light, I saw that a religion of mysticism would, primarily, be of value only to the few. So I organized the churches into a system which, in turn, became, as you term it, a theology. I might be called one of the fathers of the Christian Theology, but I was only one of them".
QUESTION : — Can you throw any light on the feeding by the Master of the five thousand, and on another occasion of the four thousand?
ANSWER : "The multitude were fed, not by a small quantity of food that became a larger quantity, but by a states-manlike arrangement which secured, in what was later termed a miraculous way, a sufficient quantity of food to feed the multitude. The mistake of all times is your literal interpretation of the Scriptures. The oriental mind thought poetically, drew similes, illustrations, amid colour, beauty and the effect of words, etc. There was no miracle absolutely on that occasion. There was, though, a divine utterance by a master, but it would have been an utterly forgotten incident but for the glow, the eloquence, the import of His words. So with bated breath not so much your generation as immediately preceding generations said:
‘THIS IS A MIRACULOUS THING’.
"The raising of Lazarus from the dead was also in complete accord with natural law. What happened in that incident was this: a peculiar form of paralysis took possession of a man named Lazarus. He was in a cataleptic ecstasy, but was pronounced dead by the doctors of that time, who, you must know, were very much in ignorance of true pathological conditions. He was buried, but not in one of those hermetically sealed caskets that you use, or by a process of burial such as the old Egyptians used in the embalming of their dead. The great psychic with clairvoyant power and vision came along and sensing rather than knowing or seeing his condition, applied natural methods to what was a natural incident, and there was a restoration not to a life, physically speaking, completely vanished, but to one that was held in suspense for the time.
"It may seem strange that I should rather deprecate the belief in miracles as understood in their literal interpretation, but time has elapsed. There is, because of the cessation of earth plane hostilities, the light of an illuminating love all over TERRA FIRMA, and the time has come for the teachers of theology, the masters, the prophets, the seers of your age, to explain that the whole universe is controlled by NATURAL, BENEFICENT LAW.
"But you ask: ‘Why did so many witnesses of these marvellous things report them as miracles?’ To them they were miracles. Even to most of you, if you observed the same phenomena, they would seem miraculous. As to stilling the tempest, when a human being breathes out he sends out an energy that extends for several miles in all directions around himself. If you knew the law you could breathe so that whenever a storm disturbs the atmosphere of your world, the storm would be lulled to sleep. This was exactly what happened when Jesus lulled to rest the storm".
QUESTION : How shall we develop our humility?
ANSWER : " By being as a little child, eager, alert, alive in faith, clothed in mother-love, and all around, the sky of reason".

Maryse LOCKE : " THE WORLD IS MY COUNTRY, TO DO GOOD IS MY RELIGION !
BE GENTLE like a child. BE PROTECTIVE to your brothers and sisters in the world, without distinction of race or sexe or religion, like the young brother and sister protecting each other ; like the soft heart of a mother who does not make any preference between all her children and is INDULGENT with all of them. Don't practice discrimination, but practice EQUALITY".
