Letters from an Angel

by Oscar Castagna

Luke 20:36 :And death has no more power over them, for they are equal to the angels, and are sons of God, being of those who will come back from the dead.

Letter One

 I finally got to communicate with myself. I asked permission to do it and now I'm back here again. I cannot change the events as they happened before my passing away. My spirit goes back in time just to dictate to myself the beautiful experience of leaving the flesh and becoming full spirit.

There are very many souls here, probably more than I expected. This is Heaven, just one step below Glory. We are made of energy and can take the form of our former body like a hologram in a mirror. Our appearance is perfect. No overweight, no shortsightedness, no baldness, nothing that could make our spirit ugly looking. We are perfect because we are part of God's energy and He is everywhere. In this new form we are dedicated to spreading energy in the universe and helping human life without interfering with the freedom of choice of each individual soul.

We are working angels who come down from heaven to help, only when souls ask for it. It could be a prayer, a thought, or a wish. We are here to help you no matter what. We were like you in the past and we suffered as you suffer now. We ended up here because we learned to overcome all this suffering through faith and endurance. At the end the reward is overwhelming. We see God. He is with us all the time. We are millions and millions of tiny spheres of energy that are part of the infinity of God.

 

Down here I am not ready yet. Anxiety and violence are still in my soul. I have to overcome them before I cross over. What I write here from Beyond is just being dictated to me. I wish I could be as peaceful as the thoughts that make me write these pages.

 

Letter Two

 W e are in the sixth level. One more step and we reach Glory. This is Heaven and is beautiful, nothing I had ever imagined in my human brain. I was always limited by the five senses of my body. Once I left my wrapping on earth, all the mysteries became clear. I always had a notion that during my passing through life I had to accumulate knowledge, and I was not mistaken. The more I knew at the threshold of Heaven the higher the level I reached.

Several thousand years I'll be here and then I'll become a full Angel, able to perform miracles and create good on God's planets. Earth is not the only place where souls are incarnate. God's happiness is to see those souls that he created coming back to Him of their own will. Every single soul elects its destiny, but God is very pleased when they ask for His help. All they have to do is avoid their lower instincts and simply talk to Him. Some souls prefer to stay in the dark though. They go to the minus level when they pass away, where -6 is the worst. They can stay in that level forever, suffering the eternal darkness, but they can choose to go back, passing through different forms of life until reaching the higher levels. It could take thousands of suffering lives to make up for only one bad action in a former existence. The evil doers always end in the minus levels. Sometimes they reach the point of no return because of the tremendous damage they have caused during their lives.

Human justice and societies often accept the tricky arguments of the blackest souls and let them free. Unnatural sexual behavior, which mostly leads to corruption of children, will always get a minus-six, regardless of what these souls claim about exercising their sexual freedom. We know that corruption is the worst enemy of the human body. It contaminates the soul and darkens the light. On the other hand, there are souls who discover the light that is within themselves and fight to keep it always bright. They go through tremendous tests knowing that there is something better beyond this life. Different forms of meditation open the human souls and God talks to them. Those who recognize His voice the first time are the ones who are now here with us. They learned that to have Faith means not to have any doubt.

The chosen ones are the ones who want to be chosen. There is not a written plan in Heaven. Each human has to make the final decision; even the ones who live in a cave or the top of an isolated mountain and have never had access to knowledge or religious beliefs. The Light is inside everyone and knowing of its existence is almost like an animal instinct. Darkness is there too, always tempting and deceiving. Some feel attracted to it because the pleasures of the flesh are unlimited or because they want power. Power to command, kill, or destroy everything they want to. Power to feel like God -- indestructible and omnipotent.

I still don't understand these things that I'm being told from Beyond. How do these beings communicate with each other? What is their appearance? Do they have eyes? Can they talk? Do they play all together in Heaven? How do they spend eternity? Isn't it boring?

 

Letter Three

You will understand only when you leave your human body. It is not easy to see it clearly with your human eyes. We are like little tongues of energy floating in space. We see with no eyes, talk with no mouth, hear with no ears, and feel with no body. All the sensations we learned during our human life are still with us but in a completely different fashion. Our energy field can take the form of our former body any time we want. Our basic features are the original ones but our ethereal bodies are beautiful because we are angels of God. We all love each other because we are part of the eternal source of energy. There is no sex or color. We take possession of each other by feeling attracted by different energy fields and learn everything about everything. It is a sensation similar to what humans feel when making love but in heaven this is real forever.

Sometimes we gather in a planet and get involved in things we love to do in our human life, like playing golf, swimming, writing, painting or playing music. Our non-corporeal energy also creates the surroundings we want to be in at that time. We have access to all the knowledge in the universe and we use it to help humans discover new technologies or philosophies. As we are all connected to each other and all the creatures of God, we are always floating around to help them when they ask for help. Each of us has a special skill and we help humans by passing along our inspiration. This is our main pastime and believe me, we are very busy.

If humans could experience one second of our life in heaven they wouldn't worry about poverty or riches, or even about achieving their earthly goals. Every organized religion gives them clues about the afterlife, but they could not realize how beautiful it is. Very many behave because they are afraid. But they are not truthful to themselves. God doesn't want you to be scared; He wants you to love Him, as He loves you. I also used to complicate things when I was in the flesh. The most difficult part of our human existence is to understand what we are supposed to do during the brief moments of our existence. If we had the slightest idea of what there is for us in the beyond, we wouldn't even trouble ourselves looking for answers in hidden places. It is a condition of the human being to justify every action he or she has done. "I had to cheat her because she doesn't treat me right." "I took this money from him because he doesn't pay me enough."

People also kill in the name of God and their actions are justified, even blessed by priests because they are done in the name of justice or righteousness.

God didn't create this chaos. He breathed life into fragile human bodies He made and let an atom of His Eternal

Spirit inhabit them. But evil was also part of His creation and defied his wisdom. We are all free spirits, even the angels are free, but they respond to God because they are His army of peace.

There are many things you say that I don't understand. I know that I am limited in my comprehension, but you can help me and the others find the way to be in Heaven with you.

 

Letter Four

 First you have to be yourself and find the spirit of God within you. Stay away from everything that stains your soul, even if you think it is justifiable. Don't be afraid if things don't come your way.

Your dream doesn't have to be to become wealthy or powerful, or to be a great actor, or director, or painter, or musician, or whatever you think you are good at. You just go ahead and do whatever you like to do or you feel you have the ability to do it right. Every human being has a special inclination that he is supposed to develop during his life. If he doesn't do it he loses it. Be persistent and ask God to guide you. If in the pursuit of your dreams you have to perform actions which you know are against your nature, stay away and a new way will be revealed to you.

Many successful humans believe they need drugs to accomplish their dreams. We witness from here how clean and brilliant souls degrade themselves with drugs, or they kill others for greed or envy or lust. We see them in their privacy having insatiable sex with each other, not for love, but lust and regardless of their partner's gender, as if they were compelled to win the orgasm race. We see all these things without feeling angry or sad. We know that we are here to help and every one is redeemable, even the worst criminals. The only catch is that they have to find redemption during their lifetime. Once they pass away it is too late. God won’t punish them though. They simply go to the place they deserve because of their actions during their lives. After a period of darkness they are born again and have the chance to find the light. The fewer lives they have to live, the closer they come to God and the final Glory. The spirit of darkness is always there to make incarnated souls miserable, forcing them to go back into the flesh, as many times as possible, although the dark spirit knows that it is an impossible race. At the end the light will overcome all darkness in the universe.

From here we are constantly learning from evil. How low can a human mind fall? The level of evil in the human flesh measures our level of goodness. The evil spirits can only manifest themselves when they take possession of bodies and minds to corrupt the souls. When they are pure spirits they are absolutely harmless. They cannot hurt the light. They cannot even get closer to us. They are only they're to prey on the flesh. In a way, we should be thankful to them because by denying them, we became what we are now. This is a great game invented by God. We already win forever but keep playing to help others win. The game is eternal.

The more I write the more I understand how I have to start changing my present life in order to get to the place where he is writing this to me. I realize that some of my quests are absolutely irrelevant; they lead me nowhere. What is it that I really want? I want to be there where he is.

 

Letter Five

 We all remember the experience we had in our past lives and we understand what the other souls are passing through. None of us were really saints in our past incarnations. God put us there and left us on our own. We had to live in the flesh all the torments and desires and decide which way we wanted to go. All of us have something in common though. At the end of our past life, we decided to be here with God. We asked Him to help us get here. We didn't ask for success, money, or power, we wanted to be here with Him. We wanted to be angels. At a point where our lives had become a stressful race just to stay alive, we decided to look for an answer within ourselves. Most of us found a way to listen to God through meditation, letting our minds go blank and giving him thanks for the good things and for the bad things too. Little by little our souls started to work together with our minds and bodies until we reached a tremendous internal peace. At that point all we had to do was wait until He called us.

I had a discussion with a musician and got very mad at him. I didn't want to hit him inside the restaurant in front of all those people but the dirty bastard wouldn't come out. The next day I had a cloud in one eye. I don't like to go to the doctor but this time I had to. It was an attack of high blood pressure. "If you don't take this medicine and follow my directions you have only five months to live." This time was really serious, so I followed directions.

After a month I became a real dummy. My heart was jumping in my chest like a broken toy. I spent hours and hours in front of the computer screen without being able to write a single word. The stress increased as the deadline to deliver my job came near and my blood pressure didn't change at all. Then I realized that God would take care of me regardless. I dumped all the pills and kept going. My mind was clear again. I finished the writing in time and got ready for the next deadline. Several years before, a friend had taken me to a Transcendental Meditation center to have a nice vegetarian lunch. That image came back to my mind, reminding me of the peaceful environment of that place. I went to look for it and couldn't find it the first day. I ended up in the Self-Realization Fellowship shrine and stayed there for a few hours contemplating the lake and meditating. But my meditation wasn't working. Too many thoughts in my mind prevented me from reaching my consciousness. I had a new assignment and had to concentrate all my efforts on it. I hadn't had enough money for a while and needed this job to pay the rent. In the last five years I was evicted three times from different places. Once I even thought of killing myself to end this stupid race. But the deeper I went into depression the worst everything else became. My faith saved me. I prayed to God knowing that he could not abandon me and the miracle happened once again. I got a new assignment, a new idea that brought food to my table.

I regretted my depression and realized that regardless of what could happen to me I shouldn't lose my faith. Everything was going okay and now this blood pressure attack. It was my fault, I knew, after all these years I hadn't learned to control myself. I finally found the TM Center and started to go to lunch there every day. It was a relaxing experience. All the people looked peaceful and friendly. The positive energy of the place invaded my soul. After a month I took a course in meditation and learned the techniques. It was the first time I reached deep into my consciousness and opened my soul to God. They didn't teach me this. God came to me because I called him from within myself where He had been all the time.

 

Letter Six

 There is always much more to do when the time comes. When you reach a level where nothing else really matters, you wait peacefully. You know this because you learned to explore your consciousness and know the real state of the soul. Most human beings do not develop this sense of soulfulness, and death comes suddenly and unexpected. Those humans never reach this level. I went to sleep and dreamed that I was leaving my body and went out of the window. It was a magnificent night. I flew over towards the stars until I was high in space and saw the earth down below. Behind it was the sun. I went around the earth until the sun was in front of me. It attracted me into its mass of fire and I was neither blinded nor did I feel its heat. I was just a speck of energy fusing into the sun. I was seeing without eyes and hearing without ears. I was conscious about everything that was happening to me and enjoying the ride. After I exited the sun, all the stars became bigger and bigger. I kept going, thinking the other suns were attracting me. I liked the game. Here I go again! Then everything went dark and I felt myself falling into a black abyss losing all the control I had when I went through the sun. After an endless fall, I popped out in a radiant limbo of bright light where the black hole was a microscopic speck that soon disappeared from my sight. Little spheres of energy like myself formed the white limbo. They looked all the same, but each one had a characteristic that differentiated it from the others. My sphere of energy jumped among them knowing with each contact that they were and how happy they were to have me there at last. Other newcomers popped out from different holes and joined us. The celebration was immense, because the field of energy was infinite. Light was everywhere and I couldn't see any boundary. Then in the center of all this, the light became so intense and warm, it made me feel extremely happy and loved. Then I saw Him with all his energy and power invading my small energy field. I was He a He was I.

I started to take medicine again. Meditation was helping a lot but my blood needed something else to release its pressure. I didn't want to do this but it was necessary. My wife and friends practically forced me to go to a doctor friend. My blood is down now but the side effects started to show up, fatigue, cramps in my legs and my arms, and headaches. I don't know how doctors are always pretending to be gods, trying to prolong somebody else's life. I asked God if it is okay to do this but He didn't show any sign. All that I know is that my mind is clear and able to listen to the voice, which dictates me these pages. I promised I would do this and I shall continue regardless

 

Letter Seven

 The human body is a perfect instrument. God never intended to create monsters or infected bodies. Each one of us attracts illness or disease either with our minds or by abusing our bodies. Envy, hate, covetousness, or greed generally produces cancer, ulcers, or some stomach disease. Looking back from here, this is very clear to us. If we had known this when we were humans, things would've been much easier. Many people talked about it. There were hundreds of books about the subject, but we didn't listen. We just took medicines or pain relievers and continued aggravating our bodies.

When we go down there to help humans we insist on suggesting that the cure is in their minds. Sometimes we have to become visible by vibrating our energy at a certain level just to make a point. Human minds are really stubborn. We cannot force anybody to make a decision but we can send messages or show him or her actions or even consequences to make them understand. Many times we know that certain people will die by inhaling tobacco smoke, so we go down to help others create messages against smoking and its consequences, but smokers are insensitive. They don't care about themselves and they don't care about the others.

When God brought us to this dimension we understood for the first time what He had always told us through preachers, books and even TV shows. God loves you.

Regardless of all your actions, He is always there for you. He didn't put you in this world to suffer. Your soul is His spirit inside a wrapping of flesh controlled by a brain that is your own computer and a mind that produces your thoughts. Body, mind and spirit. The mind is not always able to control the desires of the body, which responds to the brain. The mind many times can produce twisted images that the brain would like to experiment with, like homosexuality. God gave us a sex not only for procreation but also for joy. He gave us the most extraordinary toy in the universe to play with, not to break. Many humans do not understand this and think sex is all that is. They are so anxious to have sex in every possible way that they are never really satisfied. We are always willing to help those people here in heaven because we know that this uncontrollable drive leads to the corruption of the soul and many re-incarnations. When the mind is always obsessed with sex there is nothing else it can create or develop. Sex is just for fun but it doesn't last forever. In this case the body and the pleasure sensors of the brain dominate the mind. The mind recognizes these signals and wants more for the body. For the mind, the body is always strong and indestructible. "My body enjoys this pleasure, let's do it again and again..."

Every single soul is free to choose their own destiny but the whole universe has rules to maintain a perfect balance. The only being in the entire universe who doesn't respect the rules is the human being. So be it —"I made you free to choose but you have altered the balance of your environment. Go back and restore the balance as many times as necessary until the harm is undone"

 

Letter Eight

We had passed through many bodies before we came here and we know of the weakness of the flesh. We are not going to talk about sins because our sins of yesterday are accepted as normal behavior today. There are no sins or punishment. There are actions and consequences. All actions that go against nature have consequences. These actions stain the spirit and a dirty soul cannot come into Heavens. "Go back and take a shower" "Come back when you're clean"

All these dirty souls are the consequences of the actions of the mind and the body. These two pass away but the soul remains covered by the dirt its partners left behind. The human body is a perfect computer made in heaven. Its user is the mind who is free to create and experiment. During a lifetime the mind often enters the game of the body and lets it go. Everything is acceptable and many things bring a lot of joy. Sometimes killing another human being brings some pleasure to the brain and the mind understands it and accepts it. The soul always resists everything that is against nature because the soul remembers from where it comes. The soul knows that it is part of the universal energy of God. But there is nothing the soul can do without the body and the mind.

The body enjoys every tactile sensation that causes pleasure to its brain. The mind analyzes these sensations and creates images and thoughts to give the body more pleasure. The body cannot love. It is the mind that falls in love because it opens up to the soul, which is all love. When the mind hates or becomes destructive, the soul doesn't have any participation whatsoever. Even when the soul receives the slaps in the face at the end, it doesn't have any saying in the bad or unnatural actions of the body and the mind working together. When the body and the mind reincarnate, they only have a notion of what they’ve done in the past life, but they don't remember. The soul remembers everything, including the fact that it is part of God. All minds come to existence with different talents. If their bodies went through excesses in the past, they don't want to do these excesses again just by instinct. It is as if they could hear a voice within themselves telling them "You already had enough of this and it didn't work".

The talent is the inclination of the soul that passes this information along to the mind, which in turn transmits it to the brain to be executed by the body. If something goes wrong in this communication, things are not done properly and the original purpose fails. The soul did its job, the mind too in the beginning, but the body was lazy or didn't want it, so the mind said okay. If your mind is as weak as your body, the soul is left alone and the three of them lose.

"The spirit is strong but the flesh is weak."

If you understand this behavior and realize that something is not functioning, the first step is to build a stronger mind to control your body. Going deep into yourself in search of your soul can do this. Only when the three of them are working in harmony you can reach your goal and make God happy. This is what He wanted you to acknowledge in the first place.

You don't have to judge others to know whether they are good or bad. Look at their eyes and try to find their souls. Most of the people are just bodies and minds. Their souls are not with them. How many criminals do you see on the news? How many child molesters, rapists and assassins are? Look at their faces? What kinds of monsters are they? How can God let this happen? Is it really God or us? Most human beings have lost their souls and they advertise this. They deny God and justice and righteousness. They want you to think like them and get rid of your soul. They are very convincing and you believe them because they talk about the freedom of choice and get away with murder if necessary.

This is the world where you have to live and try to achieve a harmony between body, mind and soul. The goal is not to get rich and despise everybody else who is not like you. The lower levels are full of souls of powerful people, ladies draped in jewels, politicians as well as criminals and monsters — souls who were left alone while minds and bodies were "enjoying life". These are the souls we are trying to help from here. If their minds never approach the soul or never ask to be with it, we have to go down there and show some signs to bring them together. It is not the fault of the soul if the bodies, which they incarnate, are chronic sons of bitches for life after life. The work of the evil spirits is to entice the bodies and minds to ignore the souls so that at the end of their lives the souls go to the lower level and the evil laughs at God. The evil quest is to make the perfect work of God imperfect. He cannot force us to be one way or another. He has declared body, mind and soul free and that is the way it's going to stay forever. The dark angel has the same power of God but only to do evil. If the combination of body, mind and soul shows an atom of goodness by free choice, then the dark spirits are neutralized, cast away forever from that soul. It is your mind and body that make you fall, so be alert and always aware of this. "A healthy mind in a healthy body," the ancient Greeks proclaimed. They were right, although there was a third element missing: the spirit or the soul. If our ancestors had not found pleasure in the excesses of the body and had developed their minds further, the Human inhabitants of earth would have been like the humans in the planet Tar.

The souls in Tar re-incarnate only once and they all remember the level they came from. Earth souls arriving to level 5 re-incarnate in planet Tar. Once they are in that level the trilogy of body, mind and soul works at its best. Many times, here at level 6, we materialize for a while in Tar to enjoy some of the new ideas they have developed. God is very happy with them because they reached the point of equilibrium on their own. They created the perfect human race where everybody loves each other and lives in peace. They are great inventors and spend most of their time creating new ways to improve the quality of life. They have the technology to travel in space, but they never think of conquering the universe. Why? They are in paradise already and nothing can change that. Their planet has three suns and it is always warm and bright. Most of their activities are outdoors. Through the centuries they managed to create ways to support themselves without working like slaves all their lives. Everything is accessible to everybody. No rich, no poor, no ugly, no bad. Everybody is enjoying life as life was meant to be. All these Taras are born with a talent or inclination, just like on Earth. The parents are the ones who discover those talents for the first time and help kids to develop it. All teachers and schools are trained to develop the best in each child, and after the education are completed, they are sent to the right places. The main purpose is to make everybody happy with what they are doing. There are no dropout’s or bad grades because the children enjoy what they are doing. The same happens when they work. They are doing what they want. Humans run the factories but all the workers are robots. There is no money in Tar. There is only one rule, that everybody gets busy doing what he or she knows at least 20 hours a week. Some spend more time because they like what they are doing. Most of the assignments are like computer games. How many hours can you spend on the Internet?

Everybody in the planet speaks the same language. A great majority communicates with their thoughts. Their life span is 90 years but they stop aging at 40. All of them are beautiful as angels and couples feel attracted to each other mainly because their spirits are compatible. Sex is absolutely natural and fulfilling. Procreation is controlled by their minds. Couples stay together to raise their children. There is no marriage and no divorce but they are free to have sex with different partners if they feel like it. There are neither criminals nor homosexuals nor perverts. They set their own limits and nobody crosses the line. Why would they? Their minds are at the highest level, closer to the soul and in contact with God. The body is a temporary shell they have to take care of for a while, and that's it. Everything they are building is for the next generation to enjoy. At this level evil temptations don't exist. Evil is barred from the planet Tar and there is no being in the universe that can reach this planet without passing through level 5

Tar is the pride of God.

When I learned to meditate, the instructions were to sit down comfortably on a chair, close my eyes and start thinking a word (mantra) constantly for at least 20 minutes. You cannot stop the flow of thoughts constantly invading your brain; you don't even fight them to go away. You just think the mantra until all that is in your brain is a word that doesn't even have a meaning to you. Then, if you get only a few seconds of absolute solitude within yourself, you reach your consciousness. I practiced this and it worked for me. Once in the morning, once in the evening. The pressure and the stress didn't change. But I learned a way to deal with and control them.

After a year I found out that first of all, I should have to be thankful for all things I receive every day, and should bring the presence of God into my consciousness, because my consciousness was my soul and my soul is God. So I closed my eyes and thought "I Praise you Lord and I give you thanks," several times until everything was bright; then I thought the Sanskrit word "SHIRING" all the time, sometimes faster, sometimes slower until my soul opened and I waited for God to talk to me.

The first thought that came to me after several months of meditation was to concentrate all my efforts in writing a new book based on ideas that would come to me as soon as I decided to start.

Now I'm doing it and feel as if I was fulfilling a sacred promise.

Most of the words I'm writing are not the ones I intended in the first time. Something is making me change several of my attitudes toward many things. I definitely know that violence has to be out of my life as well as anxiety and insecurity. Many more words I have to write for others to read, but first I have to start doing the right things to reach the place I want to be.

 

 

Letter Nine

 After I left earth and entered the divine domain, I did not go directly to level 6. I went to level 5 first. After remaining there for a while, I was born again on the planet Tar. The total number of years I lived on Tar was 85, and they were the most extraordinary years I've spent inside a human body. From there I went directly to level 6. On Tar I learned all the positive actions a human being can do utilizing body, mind and spirit. I learned the necessary training and experience to know in the flesh how a human being could live in perfect harmony with nature and with God. All the bad experiences and evil actions I had already learned during my passing through Earth for several incarnations. Do you see how perfect is the work of God? I went to hell on earth then to Paradise in Tar and I remember vividly every experience I had in both places. I am the perfect helping angel now. There is no doubt in my spirit because I know. When God asks me to help a soul on Earth because that soul is praying for help I can feel in my own spirit what they are going through and understand. I also know the solution and suggest it to them. Some of them listen, others want to have it their way and persist in doing the wrong actions to obtain what they think they want. God is sending us to help the Earth humans because we have had the real experience in the flesh, and He is experiencing that through those of us who are back to be part of HIM in heaven.

 

Letter Ten

It is not the purpose of this writing to tell the stories about the planet Tar or the sixth level where I am now. The main purpose in Heaven is to help our equal souls who are incarnate in Earth. We are among you most of the time trying to show you the way without interfering in your freedom of choice but most of you don't seem to listen. The human memory is very fragile and forgets most of the things it learns or experiences everyday. Organized religion keeps banging and telling the stories all the time. You go to churches or temples and listen attentively but in a few hours you forget everything. It is not bad to be religious or listen to preachers, even if you think that they are not telling all the truth or they are taking your money. It is good to listen to what they preach. This is a way to help you remember where you come from and where you are going. The ones who attack every sign of religious inclination want to separate your mind and body from your soul. The trend toward being an intellectual atheist and denying the existence of a Supreme Being only leads to the lower levels and innumerable re-incarnations. The Bible talks about eternal damnation that in our time translates to very many re-incarnations —different forms of lower or degraded lives that you have to endure, not as a punishment, but as a consequence of what you are doing today. Our mission is to help you acquire the knowledge and decide on your own. Does it make sense? You think this is all bullshit? I was there wearing your shoes and I found a Light to follow. I ended up here where I started my real life, the eternal one, and full of happiness and jubilee.

 

Letter Eleven

You don't have to live lives of sacrifice or poverty to end up here. You have to be yourself and find within yourself the meaning of your presence there on earth. What are you accomplishing in your life? Who are you? What is it you really want? Is it really money, power and security? What makes you really happy?

What about playing a game every day asking yourself questions like these to see what you can come up with?

You have to learn to remember. Most of the time we remember trivial little things from the past, which are totally irrelevant, but forget actions that were supposed to leave a permanent knowledge in our existence. We see a film or hear a sermon or read a beautiful poem that touches our deepest emotions and it lasts for a few minutes in our mind. We never save those files in our mental computers; they are gone as soon as we turn our minds to another subject.

We forget the past but live the present worried about the future.

Why don't we listen and remember?

Why don't you try this to see what happens? Listen to everything and pay attention, then sort out what you think is good for you and try to put it in a place in your mind where you can retrieve it once and once again. Is it worthy?

Be sincere with yourself. How many actions or thoughts are really worthy?

Is there a thought or action you can take with you to heaven? Or is everything you do only to keep your body happy or keep yourself in business?

Is there a better business than finding your soul and coming with us to Heaven?

 

Letter Twelve

The message we send you from here is that God wants you to be happy, to smile all the time and breathe the life that's everywhere.

If you feel unhappy, frustrated, unloved, miserable or bad in any possible way, smile at your worries. You have the power to get rid of them. All that you have to do is learn how to use it. It only takes good intention. "Ask and you shall receive."

Have you ever done this? Don't tell me it didn't work? You didn’t think it was going to work to begin with. That was the statement already in your mind. An enunciation, " It won't work," "I won't be able to do it," "I'm a loser," "I won't pass the test," "I won't get the job," "I'm not going to be able to pay the rent," or "My life is a failure."

Of course you are a failure. You decided that yourself long ago and even wrote a script from the beginning to the end. You are just following your own sentence. You have sentenced yourself to die.

What can we do from here if you don't realize that it's up to you, not us, to change your life? Let's understand this.

Nobody has condemned you. When you feel yourself with your hands tied behind your back or submerged in an ocean of shit, there is always a way out. You don't find it because you are blind, deaf and desperate. You have lost your ability to think and you hate everybody and everything in this world.

What are you going to do if you cannot cope with it? Are you going to kill yourself? Go ahead. You will be getting rid of one lousy body, but you won't kill your soul, or even your mind. They will have to come back with another body, probably worse than the one you have, with more problems or more suffering. If the ones who killed themselves had the chance to come back and tell the others the horrible experience of crossing over against the natural laws, suicide would not exist on Earth.

Look at the children. Is there a purer being in the universe than a small child is? That is the way God created you. Then you started to change. You received the entire negative load that is in your own environment and the angel like baby became an evil creature. There is a scholar who lives over here with us now who once wrote: "From the day your baby is born, you must teach him how to do without things. Children today love luxury too much. They have detestable manners, flout authority, have no respect for elders. What kind of awful creatures will they be when they grow up?" The scholar who wrote this in the year 399 BC was the Greek philosopher Socrates.

Has anything changed?

 

Letter Thirteen

You are now part of a new civilization. In five thousand years the human mind has developed a powerful technology, but the spirit has been set aside. How do you really feel with all the information you are exposed to? Are you happier? You live in a free country where a human being can do many degrading things in the name of freedom. Little by little some freedom lovers are changing your traditional values and you are accepting it. Everybody is going along for the ride. Why all this anxiety?

It is easier than you think. Just don't follow the animal instinct that moves you to have an argument for any possible reason. You come back from work on a summer evening. You are about to enter your house when you see a fellow walking a little black poodle on your front lawn and he makes it shit on your lawn. You look at the guy and he doesn't even blink. "So you are the one who makes the dog shit on my lawn every day?" The guy replies: " He didn't do it," "it was another dog." "Come on," you say "I just saw him doing it. You should pick it up." " Well," he says, "I come back later" "No, I want you to pick it up right now" " You pick it up with your hands now, you hear."

Then you push the guy. He pushes you back and you fall on the dog's droppings. The fellow laughs and the little dog bites your leg. You are blind with rage. You've been a nice guy all your life, raised your children, love your wife, have an excellent job and go to church every Sunday. But all of a sudden you want blood. You get up on your feet and run to your porch where you remember you left a shovel that morning. You grab the shovel and charge. The guy freezes when he sees you. You come down with the edge of the shovel and break his head like a watermelon, and then you remember that you have a heart condition so you have a stroke. You don't even get indicted. Both of you end up dead with enough negative action that entitles you to several more incarnations. And you know that you could have made it to the fourth level if that stupid thing wouldn't have happened. Most aggressive violence is for stupid little things. People get killed in the Middle East, Ireland and all over the world because they cannot control their violence. Besides the criminals or assassins you read about in the papers, many people lose their place in heaven for stupid little things. When they come to this side and see themselves doing those stupid things they realize how dumb they were. On this side they cannot ask for forgiveness and repent. They are already forgiven and accepted, but they are subjected to the law of their own behavior. Go back, start all over again but please, try to remember or you are going to go back again and again and again for thousands of years. All the negative experience that you accumulate over your reincarnations cannot be accounted for in heaven. There is no such thing as becoming a wise soul in negative and evil things. All these actions belong to the minus level and are never counted in your favor at the end of each life.

 

Letter Fourteen

Please go back into your present life and analyze all the little acts of violence that you can remember. Tell me what is the balance? What did you gain? Is it a great satisfaction or do you feel a bitter taste in your mouth remembering them? Of course you will find the way to justify everything you have done. " I hit her because she's driving me out of my mind," or " I killed him in self defense," or " I signed the death sentence because He is a serial killer." In this case you probably don’t know that all the criminals you execute come back and kill more people during several lives. You have to find a way to educate them and show them redeemable actions. You cannot control their evil nature by execution. There is a legion of evil re-incarnate that know very well how to separate the soul from the mind and body. They will prey on you. You are alone against them only because you want to be. They are beings like you who cannot control their nature. You don't have to do what they tell you, even if you think it's right. —"The devil always tells you the truth, so you can believe one of his big lies." Violence is inherent in the human soul. All the sacred books like the Bible or Bhagavad-Gita deal with wars and violence. After all these centuries of existence the human race could not overcome violence. We know that. But that is not an excuse for you. If the rest of the world is violent you don't have to be like them. Don't you understand what is the key to your entire existence? You have to survive the contamination that's around you. That is your mission. Forget everything else. Your goal is to not obtain what you cannot take with you when you cross over.

Your goal is to be neither a beggar nor a pauper. You were born to be successful doing the things that you love, not the things you chose to impress others or satisfy your greediness. We know that the surrounding environment is always forcing you to do things that you don't like. All the little things in life are conspiring against you; even your spouse is way out of your league most of the times. Sometimes you go along, sometimes you don't. Sometimes you rebel against these little things and react violently or are in a bad mood all day long.

When that is the case you better ask yourself: Is it worthwhile? Don't elaborate in your mind looking for retaliation or making up an imaginary story about your aggressor. If you think somebody is going to hurt you, don't be defensive, just send to those persons good thoughts. Send them love. To love your enemy is not a meaningless sentence made up by Jesus. It means a change in attitude. It is good for your enemy, but even better for you because love is much more rewarding than hate.

I know you won't stop hating people right away. Test yourself. See what you feel every time you hate somebody. When you are hurt the idea of revenge brings you pleasure. See, all is a state of mind. What about sending them love. For example, going to a business meeting where you know that they are going to screw you, with a smile on your face, and send love to everyone. Most of the times, your enemies are a product of your mind. How many people do you see everyday that you don't like? Why is your first reaction to reject them? You don't like her face or his attitude or the color of their skin. If you are white, no matter what, your first instinct is a reaction against blacks, Asians, Mexicans, Persians or whatever culture they may belong to which is not your own. On the other hand, the others resent you and don't trust you at all, especially if you are American. The rest of the world either admires or despise you.

The fact is that you cannot avoid being hated. You have to learn not to pay them back with the same coin. Besides, even if you are a saint, you cannot be likeable to everybody. In your world you will find people who will hate your guts no matter what. Christ was crucified even when he spent his life healing people and preaching peace and love. We don't want you to feel sorry for yourself because you are not strong enough to love your enemies. Be humble and call us. We are small particles of the spirit of God who is everywhere, inclusive inside you. Look at the ones who hate you and remember the words of the book of wisdom:

Then the just man will stand with confidence

facing those who oppressed him,

making light of his labors.

Seeing him they will be seized with a terrible fear,

amazed to find him unexpectedly saved.

Stricken with remorse

and distress, they will groan and say,

"He is the one we mocked,

the one, who reproached, fools that we were!

We considered his life foolishness,

and his death, the supreme humiliation,

but see: he is counted among the sons of God

and is given his lot with the holy angels!

How far have we wandered from the truth!

The light of the upright did not enlighten us

nor did its sun rise for us.

We trod the paths of injustice and death,

travelling, more than enough,

through trackless deserts,

but we were unable to know the Lord's ways.

What good has our pride been?

What profit is in the wealth we boasted about?

All that has passed away like a shadow,

like a fleeting rumor.

Like a ship cutting the sea,

leaving no trace of its course,

and the mark of its keel - not seen in its wake;

like a bird flying across the sky

leaving no trace of its flight;

it beats the light air with its pinions,

cleaving a way by the force of its wings

but without a sign of its passing;

or like an arrow shot at a target,

with the displaced air closing in on itself

and no one knowing what way it passed...

 

Letter Fifteen

How many times have felt yourself as if you were wasting your time? Most people think that paradise is lying down on a tropical beach doing nothing. Lottery winners celebrate the fact that they don't have to work again in their lifetime. You can be working all your life and actually do nothing. It's the mind who cannot afford to rest. If you stay alive like a vegetable, without gaining or losing, you accomplish nothing. Nobody is going to pay you for doing nothing. You cannot sleep in class when the rest are learning important lessons.

What do you do then? None of the things you have to decide are easy. It is easy from the point of view of those of us in heaven, because we already know the consequences of each human action. We know your struggle, but remember God knows that you can cope with it, otherwise He wouldn't put it in your way. None of the things you are exposed to can overpower you if you don't want them to.

The difference between failure and success is a state of mind.

There are only a very few things that you need to remember to succeed. Love everybody and never be afraid. When your mind plays tricks on you, forecasting disaster, don't listen to it. Change the subject. Sit down to meditate and give thanks for the things that you are sure you will have. Do not elaborate on bad thoughts. If you are afraid that something bad is going to happen to you or any member of your family, stop. If you persist, the bad things will become a reality. If the curse is in the air do not bring it upon you.

Most people read horoscopes and believe them. Some follow the predictions as a daily bible. If you believe in these words made up by some ingenious writer, why don't you believe the horoscope written by God? He says that if you do and think like this you go to heaven. If tomorrow you receive a check for 30 million dollars because you won a contest, and the day after that you get a letter from heaven, telling you that if you give all your fortune to the needy, you, eventually will go to heaven, what would you do? Ninety nine percent would keep the money.

You only believe in what you can touch. That is why you need faith to believe in God or us, who are spirits you cannot see.

We don't want you to forget everything you are or what you are doing to believe these words and find peace. Keep doing your stuff. Probably it is to late now to make any radical change, but at least you can try, little by little. Try to stay away from things that stain your mind. Nobody has to tell you what is bad or good. You know that from the beginning and you will remember if you make the effort.

God will never force you to do His will but you can go to Him for guidance. Once you truly know that you are in His hands there is no force in heaven or Earth that can change this. Extremely wealthy people who dedicated their lives to obtaining money and power live always haunted by the fear of losing their fortune or power. We look at the greediest among them and would like them to understand that there is no place in heaven if they persist in their attitude. At the end you will realize that you will be your own judge and executioner. All your bad deeds have to be undone by you before you cross over; otherwise you take them with you. When you come back in a different form you carry the load from the beginning and this time you have to survive without the fortune or the power. This time you could be a beggar feeding out of trash cans, or a member of a starving tribe in Africa, or the person or race you hated most in your past life. Whatever you hate most you could become. Don't play with God, for He is the one who invented all the games.

If you want to do something for your soul you have to start here and now, not because you get scared, but because you know where you belong and want to go back to your real self. This mask you are wearing right now doesn't become you. Please don't give us more excuses. Be your real self. We know the truth.

 

Letter Sixteen

Levels 1 to 4 are different stages of preparation that human souls need after their passage through Earth. Sometimes souls go to either one without passing through the others. It all depends on how high the degree of development of these souls on Earth was . For several thousand years, souls have been coming and going from and to the minus levels. Only a few reached the positive levels and finally ours. The pain and struggle ends when they enter the first level. This is the beginning of the blessing. There are no more re-incarnations until level 5 from which they go to Tar for the last experience in the human flesh. The explanation for this lack of progress in the human souls is in every history book, including the Bible. What was happening in the Roman Empire two centuries ago is happening today all over the world. The same attitude, the same wars, the same degradation of the human condition, again and again, one life after the other. Apparently all existence is concentrated in mind and body, with the body being the master and the mind the slave.

Now is the time to end this retrograde behavior. The empire of the flesh, as well as every big empire in the history of humankind will fall down. This new century will be the beginning of the change and you will have to understand this.

The book of Revelations gave you a hint of what could happen to the souls who persist forever. God probably never will destroy evil, but your soul could become part of evil the same way we are part of God. Your soul could lose God forever. You had it your way and so far it didn't work. You don't have to repent or enroll yourself in a new cult. You have to go inside yourself and rescue God before you lose Him forever. The only way out is within yourself and you better hurry because time is getting shorter.

During your stay in the first levels you learn how to move your spirit around. Your spirit is pure energy and you have to find the way to know everything that is around you as if by seeing, hearing, tasting, touching and smelling. You no longer have a brain but your mind is now attached permanently to your spirit. The mind is the one that experiments with all these human-like sensations and makes them enjoyable for the soul. The presence of God in your energy field is permanent.

At this time you begin to find explanations for all the things we try to convey to you from this dimension. Your brain does not limit your thought now. You begin your practice travelling around the universe with your thoughts. There isn't a faster way of travel. You think you are on Earth and there you are in the blink of an eye. This is just a way of saying it, because you don't have eyes. Some souls still have tremendous attachments to the loved ones left on earth and they can try to help them by whispering in their ears, appearing on a TV screen, entering data in personal computers, and some times vibrating their energy fields to the point that they become visible. It is necessary to be tuned in to a certain degree, for humans to experiment with these sensations. These spirits mean no harm. They are not as powerful as we are, but they can help you a lot. Don't be afraid of them. They are our rookies. Sometimes they like to play tricks on you just to have fun.

 

Letter Seventeen

When things don't go your way it doesn't mean you have bad luck or that God doesn't love you, or that you are being punished. Every action in the universe has a meaning. If something is apparently bad for you, it could be a blessing for somebody else. You don't have to cry over spilled milk. You have to find a way of making things work for you regardless. Do not complain. Whining or complaining are negative vibrations that will harm you. This negative force brings evil spirits and catastrophe happens. Smile to yourself when you get a pink slip in the mail, or when you cannot pay the rent, or when a loved one dies. Think that God wants you to go through these hardships with a smile in your mind. He will give you something better if you believe so. If you complain and blame him for all your unhappiness, things will definitely get worse. Just go ahead and try this and see how deep down you go.

 

Letter Eighteen

For the past 2000 years, God has set you free on this planet to see how you can cope with the evil surrounding you. He knows that it is not easy, but he also knows that you can get the power to defeat evil. You're being attacked from every side but your destiny is not to give up. You have to win. Unfortunately God also knows that not everybody is going to make it. Look at your civilization now. What has changed in all these centuries? Christ would be crucified again if he returned. Money is still the symbol of power as it was 2000 years ago. In the name of money, everything becomes justifiable. During all this period you've been threatened with eternal damnation and destruction, but you didn't care. The evil forces have made you taste the power of his currency and you fall for it. What they offer you is tangible. On the other hand our offer is just promises that vanish into thin air. Now, if you analyze all the facts and the humans who were involved in these manifestations of power over the course of history, you will realize that it didn't work.

Who or what would you like to be today —a president, a scientist, a terrorist, a dictator, a millionaire, or a movie star? Who? Who would you really like to be?

At the turn of the millenium God is going to provide you with more information about divine matters. Many things pertaining to the divine world were not communicated to you because you were not ready to understand. Your minds and bodies needed to be developed further in order to understand. When the holy scriptures were translated, a few wise men inspired by God left many things out in order to prevent certain destruction in the name of God. Wars are even more destructive when each side thinks they are doing it for a holy reason. Many cultures on earth are still in the dark ages because their leaders want it to be so in order to win the holy wars. The conflict between Palestinians and Israelites, or Irish and English remains a holy war. "I bless you my children for each enemy you kill. " The Mafia dons have the same precept. They are simply protecting their families. Killing is just business. What is the difference between these assassins and some corporations who fire thousands of workers to keep their profits up, or governments who deport illegal aliens to countries where they cannot survive?

Whose names are written on the history books as benefactors of humankind? Just a few, right? And most of them are saints and nobody cares about them.

So, who is your role model?

 

Letter Nineteen

God knows that if you get more information you're going to change the course of history. But you are on your own. Nothing has changed. You are the one who is going to change. You reach a stage where you have to grow up and make up your own mind. If your life is going irremediably nowhere, you have to make a decision yourself. Are you not sick and tired of being trapped in a system where you cannot make your own decisions and commitments? If you think your hands are tied, you're wrong. Go ahead and make the movement to set yourself free of all the lower instincts that have been feeding your mind and body all your life. You don't have to be like the others. Your mind and body are yours, only yours. Now, you have to summon your spirit to complete the cycle. There is still hope. You don't have to go back and forth to the minus levels all the time. If you don't feel complete, or if you are unhappy in any way, you won't make it to the first positive level where happiness starts.

The mind is unstable, turbulent, stubborn and very strong. It could be the worst enemy of the soul when controlled by the body.

Your inner self has the power to control the mind so that it won't wander unstably. Total happiness could be achieved when the mind gets rid of every material contamination and looks for the presence of God in the soul.

In order to begin with this process it is essential to avoid any reaction from past actions, no matter what happened in the past. You have to forgive yourself with no remorse and start a new adventure. "I'm free of my past, of my actions and feel no remorse. God is in my heart now and nothing can do me harm. I'm in peace, and love every other human being. I see God in everyone of them as I see God within me."

The Bhagavad-Gita says:

" He who sees Me everywhere and sees everything in Me, never loses Me and I never lose him "

 

Letter Twenty

God has left hints about reaching his glory everywhere. Inspired by his wisdom, thousands and thousands of books have been written, and speakers all over the world keep talking about His deeds.

If you are not tuned into any of these melodies, ask yourself, sincerely, "Am I happy with what I have and what I am, or is there something missing?"

All that God is suggesting through me or through many others is for your own good. Even if you don't believe most of the stuff that is written or said, it wouldn't be a bad idea to try some of these things just to see how you feel afterwards.

The Veda Yogis believe that there are two ways of leaving this world: one during the daylight and the other at dark. When humans leave in the light, they never come back; but if they leave in the darkness they do.

The books and thoughts created by prophets all over the universe won't be enough to make you believe. We know that the only way you will believe is by coming back and forth. You already did this several times. The catch is that you have a very weak memory. We are coming down to you to help you remember. As soon as you remember who you are and how things are on the other side, you will deliver yourself to God in body, mind and spirit.

This communication that reaches you now is a sort of breaking of the rules for us. God didn't intend to do it in the first place, but we ask him permission to help each of you to find your real self.

Sometimes I find myself writing things that later on I find hints of it in sacred books. It is my intention to write this as clearly as possible in a language anybody can understand.

I am still struggling with all the material things that surround me: paying the rent, finding new jobs that allow me to continue, listening to the voice and committing myself to write what I hear. Whether it comes from my own angel or from God, I don't really know, but what I do know is that all the concepts I'm hearing here are good for my soul and I'm finally finding myself.

 

Letter Twenty-One

The human being is born with all his senses ready to acquire wisdom. God is the source of all knowledge and the more we know the closer we are to him. It is not divine intention to set you free in the world so that you think nothing and do nothing, or just try to go along for the ride with your minds blank. God doesn't want you to live in a continuous state of meditation as some monks do. You have to know Him through meditation or prayer, but you have to do with your life what you were born to do. We don't want you to deny yourself. You have to be yourself. The perfect prescription has already been written in many books, but mainly in the New Testament. If you are curious you have to find the clues. Be careful not to misinterpret the word of God. Read everything with an open mind willing to believe that God loves you and wants to help you find the truth. There are no hidden things in this business of creation. God loves you and you have to find Him within yourself. That's easy.

 

Letter Twenty-Two

We will help you if you're still worried about your daily life. Even when I tell you about God helping you all the way, you're full of doubts. You don't believe in miracles or in magic. Yours is a very tangible world and you cannot pay the rent or put food on the table with mystical promises. Why not? All you have to do is to believe without the shadow of a doubt and you will obtain whatever you are hoping to obtain. Now, if you maintain your doubts, there is no commitment of your body and mind. If you are afraid of losing your job or being unable to pay the rent, or of having an accident, chances are those things will happen to you. Your body is fragile but your mind is strong. " You can move mountains," Christ said, but you can bring disgrace to yourself too, I would add. This willpower works like a magnet. You attract the things you fear most if you constantly think they could happen to you. Why me? Because you called me. However, this is a two way street. If you think positively, driving away all the bad feelings and concentrating on the good things that "will" happen to you, not the ones that "could" happen, then your life will have a different meaning. This is not something that you develop with time. This is something that makes you change your attitude immediately. Your mind is the tool and we will always be there to give you a hand. We are not happy angels who know nothing about the human competition. We were like you before and we remember that very well. If we tell you that something works in your favor don't even doubt it. Close your eyes, tell your brain to quit arguing, and go ahead, execute our advice.

There are a lot of things that you can experiment in order to find answers. We already know all the answers and pass them along to you, but you need to have your own experiences as well. Experience is the best way of acquiring knowledge. The more you know, the closer you are to God who is all knowledge and wisdom. God wants you to come to Him as a result of your own wisdom. He will wait for you all the time that is necessary.

These exercises are very simple. Whatever you are doing now, you have to come to the conclusion that the purpose of your life is not to kill yourself working or being constantly worried about money, either for pleasure or survival. Try to take breaks in your daily activity to think about yourself. Twenty minutes of meditation twice a day is a starting point. What happens if you die today, right now, while you are reading these words? What is going to happen with all the deals and deadlines you cannot put aside now? What happens with all that time you never had, to be with yourself or you family? Most people, especially the successful ones, never have time for themselves. Everything is business. They are caught in a net that they have interwoven themselves and cannot get away. This doesn't have to be true. They created this image and now they have to follow the script (until they died).

Then, when they see themselves from the other dimension they realize that they have to come back again to learn to live.

 

Letter Twenty-Three

Going to the minus levels doesn't mean that they were only criminals or evil doers. You can reach a -1 level just because you did not know how to live the precious life God gave you. You could be a successful businessman who behaved like a saint all your life, and still never reached the first level of holiness because you just wasted your life to satisfy your mind and body in a very material way. You could be a poor person who never hurt anybody, but became homeless because you thought you had bad luck, and you also end up in minus 1.

What is bad luck? A mysterious Karma you were born with? A punishment from heaven? Or isn't it something created by your mind as an excuse, because you don't want to fight. If you let yourself go and blame God for your miserable existence and your weakness, all that you get in return is disgrace, not because God is punishing you, but because you ask for it.

Go walk in the park in the early morning, hear the birds sing all the time and fly around. The birds are creatures of God as you are. They are free to go anywhere and they always find food and shelter. They don't have minds or other beings who take care of them. They sing and sing and sing until they die. If you look around you will see that all the creatures of God are happy, even those who prey on each other. The only unsatisfied being is the human, —the king of all creation— who has been given a mind to reason, the one who is as free as a bird, but has the power to reach his own conclusions. This is the only creature in the entire Universe who constantly blames God for his unhappiness. Who is the one who is not being fair here?

You have been given a life like any other creature to enjoy it, to get the most out of it. You are the only creature who can think and you are using your thoughts to destroy yourself and live unhappy existences once and once again. Let me tell you directly, especially you who have based your entire life on the premise of accumulating money and material possessions, that the little squirrel in your backyard has a better quality of life. So when you cross over you are going to be asked if you fulfilled the purpose of your life, if you used the gift God gave you, and you will respond "I was to busy to be happy."

You know that nobody will send you back, nor will you fry in hell. You will understand by your own means —with that God-given intelligence of yours— that you have to go back to complete the cycle.

The lower levels are not eternal bonfires ruled by the devil. They are places of darkness where you wait until you go back to suffer another lifetime, or to find the meaning of your soul and jump into the first level where you won't suffer any more re-incarnations.

There are some exceptions though. In the first level there are certain souls who can go back to continue doing what they had done in their last life. They have become builders of awareness between body, mind and spirit and dedicated their entire lives to teach others self-realization and divine fulfillment. There are many monks, saints or holy persons all over the world teaching the thoughts of God, who can come back to keep doing the same activity.

It doesn't mean that you have to be penniless to find your way to eternity. You do whatever you feel is good for you, or what you were born for, and everything will come to you.

If you feel you were born to be an actor, a writer, or a producer, do not pursue these professions for the purpose of making a lot of money. You have to be born with the attitude to be successful. Otherwise, you will be frustrated and become what you down there call "a loser".

On the other hand, the point is not to spend your life in a tropical island enjoying life with all its pleasures because your business made you a millionaire or you won the lottery. You are here for a reason and there is always a task you are supposed to perform before crossing over.

In a way it is easier than you think, and at the same time very difficult to understand. I'm not the one who is going to give you an answer to all your questions. You have to dig into yourself to find them.

The people in Tar found the way to perfect happiness and fulfillment. The difference between you and them is a state of mind. We know that you can accomplish this endeavor because we have seen them doing it. Don't be discouraged because your life gets tougher and tougher. You can decide to be a carnivorous beast or a peaceful dove.

We are watching you. We know that people prey on each other and many others who will devour you at the first distraction surround you. Don't be afraid, even if they are merciless. You can create the magic to stop them. Do not wish them evil. Be firm and assertive, knowing that your power is higher than theirs is. You don't need to roar to scare them away. Just be yourself and look them in the eyes. When you ask for the magic an invisible bubble will engulf you and protect you. Feel absolutely sure of your beliefs and God will be with you. There is no doubt about this.

That's all.

 

Letter Twenty-Four

Many people believe they represent the word of God on Earth. They are all good people with high moral standards who read holy books according to their religion and follow word by word, strictly, what they believe is the word of God. These people think they have won the ownership of God. They talk to the others from a pedestal, from a higher place, and down, as if they were telling to the rest of the people that they have the truth and they are the chosen ones. They judge all the others and even send them to eternal condemnation if the others do not follow their directions.

These human beings who claim to be the truly believers, many of them from different religious organizations, do not realize that God is all love and the first virtue of Christ was to be humble and forgiving. He did not condemned Mary Magdalene because she was a sinner; He showed her the way. Every human being has his quote of weakness and insecurity. God never sent his messengers to condemn the entire humanity. He has always sent messengers of peace or love and you destroyed them. Christ was there to save you and you crucify him. It doesn't matter now that millions of people believe in him now. You keep crucifying him every day with your lust, your envy and your arrogance. The real meaning of peace is a smile of the soul. No matter what the others say or do to you. Your soul has to smile at them. That is the will of God.

Letter Twenty-five

I am not a preacher or a prophet. I am a narrator who tells you the stories I learn in heaven and earth. I am an angel, but not like the ones you read in your bible. We call ourselves angels in front of you, so you can understand. There is not other definition to describe us better than this. We are heavenly creatures, atoms of energy and light that is the essence of God. If you just listen to us, then you will make contact with the spirit of God, the Holy Spirit, that dwells inside you. We are writing these letters to help you understand, not to order you to behave in one way or another. This is not the Ten Commandments or the word of Moses. We already had the prophets and the messiah and many of you still don't believe them. We know all this because we were one of you, arrogant unbelievers, but something or somebody (another angel?) helped us to believe and be humble. Even if you're a saint and talk to God every day, as many of you do, you are not on Earth to condemn your fellow human beings. Not even God is condemning you. Listen to my stories and make up your mind if you want a change in your life.

Is there a reason for you to change? How do you feel now? If you are happy and fulfilled you don't need me. Even if people think that you are evil don't listen to them. The voice that is inside you is the real thing. If you have done something wrong that voice will tell you the truth. Do not listen to the voices that make you feel guilty. If you have done something wrong and you know it, stop doing it, not because you feel guilty, just because you realized that it was wrong. Do not make up excuses to justify yourself. You cannot cheat God. What is done is done and nothing can be done to undo it. Life is much simpler than you think. You can help others by just talking to them, not preaching to them. If you think they are mistaken, show them your point, and if they persist in their beliefs, let them be. There is always a reason for all this. If you enter a discussion to make them understand the existence of God and they persist in denying it, you won't persuade them. Just say what you have to say, using simple statements without creating an argument, and let your thoughts float in the air. Later on, the person you confronted will remember your words and think about them and, believe me, this is the best thing you can do for them. It is not a matter of winning a discussion or thinking you're God’s messenger because an unbeliever becomes a believer after you talk to him. People will believe or change their position only if they find the reason inside themselves. God will put the words in your mouth if you really want to help others. The other extreme is the people who come to you and say, aggressively, "Do you believe in Jesus Christ" then, knowing that you have been raised a catholic and had the first communion and went to church every time you can, you answer "Yes" but the fellow insists "Have you ever been baptized in Jesus Christ our Lord and received him in your heart? "Well, I think so" you say "That's not enough" the fellow yields at you " You have to come to my church and be baptized again" At this point you feel embarrassed. You don't know what to say. You heard this conversation before when somebody called you on the telephone to sell you the services of a carrier like ATT. You have a tremendous respect for religion, but is this religion or a product they want you to buy for their own gain? God is inside you and he is also inside him too. What happens is that he is misrepresenting God. Beware of those who use the name of God in vain. God is all love. Should you trust the ones who tell you that God will punish you? Who are they to make such a statement? Punishment is just the consequence of your acts. If there is a punishment you are the one who is going to give it to yourself.

 

Letter Twenty-six

In all these hints that I am giving to you, you will find that life can be fulfilling on Earth and really rewarding in heaven.

First, listen to yourself before anybody else. You consciousness is your best advisor. It is not a matter of intelligence or knowledge. It is feeling and spontaneity. You have to have religious principles. That will protect you from every evil, but do not become a fanatic condemning others because they are not as fanatic as you are. Sometimes, people who look unholy in the eyes of these extremists are really angels like us in their last reincarnation. God is a concept you believe in or not. It is not very easy to demonstrate His existence to scientists. You believe because, in one way or the other, you discover His existence within yourself. Then come the doubts, because as a general rule, things do not happen in the way you planned. Many preachers appear on TV cheating thousands of people who believe in them and you feel pity for those poor souls. You don't want to be one of the disappointed ones, so you get away from any type of organized religion, truth? What else can you do? You start to feel lonely, disappointed and even betrayed. It is that the way? Isn't it better to leave everybody else alone and find the answer in your consciousness? Let's forget about religion for a while. Society doesn't want to impose any religion on you. That is the reason why prayers are not allowed in public schools. Society want a population of free thinkers who can chose their own religion without the participation of the state. That is fair in a true democracy.

But is this good for the people? Where is the help everybody needs?. We know that in near future human clones will appear on earth. They will be perfect specimens. For a while nobody will recognize them because cloning would be against the law for a certain time. However laws will change and hundreds of thousands of human replicas will populate the earth. In the surface they won't be different from the actual human beings. These clones are beings without a soul, just like many of you who do not believe in God. You are very busy trying to survive in an adverse world to realize what is really going on around you. Are you aware of what is happening in your world? What are you doing to avoid self-destruction? The cloning business will bring terrible consequences to those involved in the planning and also to those who walk indifferent without taking part in anything. There will be so many strange events on Earth in this coming millenium you won't be able to imagine them, even if I tell you everything in advance. There will be happenings that you have never witnessed before in your life. The final test will be very hard but it will be only the consequence of your present actions. You will have to change the present to change the future. Nothing is written in heaven. You are the one who is writing the future every single day of your life.

If we go deep into the roots of things, we will realize that the needs of the flesh are the drivers of every evil. Here in Heaven we are all part of one being. There is no skin, no flesh, and no gender. Nothing the other spirit has that we do not have. When we see women fighting because they want to be like men and colored people wanting to be white and white discriminating against everybody else, we don't feel pity for Them. We rather smile at the silly position they take. All those things will come to pass and you will survive, regardless of whether you are woman or man, black or white, rich or poor. You do not deserve your place in heaven because you're a woman fighting to have the same rights as men or a black feeling discriminated by the whites. Humans do these things because they want to be different. They want to be leaders of their own pack. They do not even think about the consequences of their actions. Resentment and violence always accompany these equality clashes. Every time you feel like complaining about something or trying to be equal to something that you are not, you create resentment. Think about the whole issue for a while. There must be a reason you were born with that appearance. Since the world is world all races have been fighting each other to be superior, to enslave the others or to obtain freedom. What has been achieved so far? After so many deaths and wars, history repeats itself. Today's slaves are not the same as yesterday's but the majority are slaves of the system they created themselves. Nobody is happy. They want what the other have and the fight will never end unless all of you realize that there are many worthless fights and the only victory is conquering your real self. If all of you step forward and behave as you really are, without feeling mistreated or discriminated for any cause, happiness will have a real meaning to you.

Let's remember together how good it is to be a molecule of light. Nothing is impossible and the body doesn't count. Your body is changing continuously. Even though you feel that it is the same flesh as you grow older and your body decays, it is not the same as yesterday and it is completely different to the one you had several years before. What happens is that nature is getting tired of the constant regeneration. Your skin and your organs look older but they are new in reality. If you take the proper care, you can reach the final stages, old but in the state of renewal. There is no reason for you to have chronically diseases like cancer or even AIDS. Everything can be cured from the inside. Medicine is an artificial help for those who cannot achieve that state of grace that leads to a healing process. If you cut yourself your wound will be regenerated if you take proper care of it.

The same thing happens in your inside. You are sick only because you don't take proper care of your body or relay too much in external aids like pharmaceutical drugs. Most of the time you are ill because you are afraid of something. Older civilizations have discovered many ways to develop a healthy body through yoga and meditation but some time this philosophy result in weak bodies with healthy minds. The Romans and Greeks had a better approach in the development of healthy bodies. "Healthy minds in healthy bodies" was their motto as they were conquering the world. But nothing is perfect in the human domain. Their empires fell due to excess and corruption as many empires fell for similar reasons as well as the current empire you live in the present will fall to make way to something better. Two thousand years have elapse since the new era. It is time for all of you to get together and evaluate what has been done and what has to be changed. These changes have to begin from within you. Do no wait until somebody leads you into the changes. Many will try to, but you have listen only to yourself. The future of the human race will be brighter and brighter as each individual learns of his potential and share this experience with his brother and sister. Once you realize that God had put you in this world in the way you presently are and stop complaining and blaming others for your back luck, you will see life from a different point of view. If you think God will grant you the miracle of becoming what you are not, you are mistaken. Your assignment in this life is finding out why you were born in the way you are and how you can get the most out of it. If you want to be respected, begin from respecting yourself and the ones around you. If you want to enter a school or get a new job, show them how good you are regardless of gender or color. Some people believe that God will help them because they are poor or handicapped. No, that is not the way. He will help you because you ask for help without hating the ones who have what you don't have. Imagine that you are playing chess with God. You know that there is no way to win, but he likes to play with you. He wants you to stay in the game as long as possible, even knowing that you will lose. You are one of his children and as any parent He doesn't want you to cry like a moron every time you lose a game or things don't turn out your way. For those with a scientific mind, imagine God as a source of energy that contains all the knowledge in the universe. A gigantic "chip" where nothing is lost or mistaken. The ultimate Internet. All what you have to do is to connect yourself. Your direct line with God and his knowledge is always open. If you are not in "touch" is because you never try to. If you think this is not possible, try to make a first contact. You go deep into your consciousness and talk to Him. Remove all other doubts or disbelieving thoughts and enter your own realm with confidence.

Letter Twenty-Seven

 Let's keep playing chess with God. Why should you hate your neighbor, when he or she is part of your own life? Life is everywhere around you. You are constantly breathing life and exhaling life. The same life your fellow human being breathed you breathe. Some times you enter a place and you breathe a negative and corrupt air, generated by people with bad thoughts and evil energy. If you are in an estate of awareness you will notice this negativity immediately. Most of the time there is nothing you can do to avoid this. It is advisable to drop some words and positive thoughts to see if somebody would pick it up and, then, get out of there. If that is an actual place, like a meeting, a party or any type of gathering, staying there will harm your body and your soul. Many first time drug addictions happen in those negative-breathing places. You never have to think that you are above all this. Peter denied Christ three times. Judas sold him for a few miserable coins. Remember that you are a human being, even if you talk to God every day and miracles happen to you once in a while. This thought will keep you humble and many good things will be accomplished. If somebody comes to you preaching the word of God, be gentle with him, even if he insists that his God is more powerful than yours is. You are not against him and he is not against you. Look at this fellow deep into his eyes and tell him "May the peace be with you" and smile. One of the most important things in this face to face communication is to look at the other person in the eyes. You are breathing his life and he is breathing yours. This is the communion God wants us to understand.

Let’s think for a while about the continuous renewal of the human body. How is it possible that diseases like cancer or AIDS persist, even when the body changes? What do you think? Wouldn't be because the corrupted energy that produces these diseases persist, and the new cells are created defective and will continue like that until the negative energy is neutralized? See, this is the way medicines work on the human body. They are external agents who get into the body and help it act, as it should in spite of the negative forces that contaminated it. In the majority of the cases the body cannot heal by itself because the malady is the result of years of feeding negative forces into the body. Medicine is the artificial solution to what your mind could not control. Doctors cut you open to take the evil tumor away and wait for your body to regenerate the tissues. Do you understand this? Doctors count on you body to heal your wounds, including the ones they inflict on purpose to destroy the bad cells. Now, who created that bad cell in the beginning? It was you. Please don't blame the society or the government because they not find a cure for your cancer or your AIDS blame yourself, because you are the one who created it. If you die as a consequence of an incurable disease, you are doing it to yourself. That doesn't mean that you are an evil spirit and you will go to hell. You made a mistake and misinterpreted the rules, probably when you come back you'll be wiser or probably you will take it with you to a higher level. It could be one of the many ways your existence ends. Not all the saints or would be angels cross the line with a smile in their faces after a peaceful and natural death. Many of them do, though. When the time comes don't be scared. A spirit without a carcass is a happy entity, even if it has to go back to the flesh.

 

Letter Twenty-Eight

 From the ages when you first came into being and began struggling against the elements, God was helping you by sending hints about the things you didn't know. You had to experiment with the environment and your own bodies and survive on your own. You were never left alone. God and all the angels came down to let you know all the things you would find in your New World. You have been guided from the beginning but you always went the wrong way. You were free to do everything you wanted, but you rebelled and wanted more. Then God decided you had to earn your place in heaven. All what you have learned after all these centuries came from God and from us, including the control of the nuclear power. You didn't use all our teachings correctly. You misused everything you learned. You have a tendency to overdo everything. Many of you believe that if something makes you feel good you have to enjoy it in excess, like eating, drinking or having sex. You also worry too much because you do not believe that God will help you when you most need Him. What all of you need are fewer excesses and more faith. Starting the first of the year 2000 every man has to be a new Adam, every woman a new Eve. That is the big challenge of the millenium. It is up to every one of you to make your world a paradise again. Imagine getting together with every other human creature breathing each other's spirit and feeling an overwhelming sensation of peace. Imagine that you don't have any more need for excesses and you feel fulfilled with what you have. Imagine that every body is sharing with the other whatever he has. Imagine a world without envy, lust, greediness or any sort of crime. Probably you think that it is impossible. You know why? Because you know yourself and you are sure that you won't be able to get rid of all those feelings and love your fellow human being in the way I just described. See, it is all a state of mind. While you think negatively, paradise will be a far away place you will never reach, not in this lifetime, nor in thousands lifetimes.

To be on the side of good doesn't mean that you are a miracle maker. Somebody who can perform magic, heals people, or move mountains. The greatest miracle of them all is to be alive and love God. Even when God touches you, you still feel the pressures of your own subsistence and most of the time you are full of doubts. Sometimes you are literally against the wall, where the only solution is a shot in the head. This is a very crucial point. It is then, when you blame God for all your misfortune and decide to take away yourself the gift of life that He gave you. It only takes a second to destroy yourself. This is the ultimate test. You have been driven to a situation where you cannot take it any longer. Most of the time you did it to yourself, but the point is that you are there absolutely hopeless. So, what do you gain by killing yourself? All your material problems will disappear instantly, but do you know what will happen to you in the other side? You kill yourself because you are a coward. You don't want to confront reality. "I don't want this life any more. Take it away from me". On the other hand, what do you have to lose? Hang on there for a little while after the crisis is over. You know what? Everything will be the same. Nothing will be lost. On the contrary, other events will be developed around you and all your problems will be solved. The first law of nature is that "Nobody can destroy your soul, except yourself" Your body is a temporary dwelling of your soul. You have to take care of it as long as you live. Millions of people pray to God to stay alive, no matter how. Your body doesn't belong to you. You are the caretaker. God is the owner, as he owns every single element of the universe. There is a certain period of time and suffering every soul has to endure while inhabiting human bodies. Sometimes these bodies are prisons from where you want to escape. Other times you feel happy and free as a bird and you want to stay. The third alternative is that you are afraid and don't want to die. Why is this so? Wouldn't it be that each one of you makes of his body his own prison or his own paradise?

Letter Twenty-Nine

 God is talking to you. I am part of that whole that it is God. You down there are also part of God but in a different manner. Your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit but it is also the barrier between you and God. Human beings live under pressure thinking constantly how are they going to survive. They are always afraid of losing their jobs, being robbed, and losing everything they have because of an earthquake, a flood or a fire. Most of the thing people pray for are keeping or obtaining material possessions. Very few people ask God to have a place in heaven. People keep their savings in banks or hidden in some place. What about your saving account in heaven? Are you doing a good deed for it? Are you been less greedy and more generous with your fellow human? Are you actually helping people when they are down? Are you getting involved in programs to bring hope to the hopeless? All the things you can save in heaven do not require the money that you save so zealously on earth. It requires your attention and your love. The big bank in heaven only accepts love and good intentions. During your lifetime you have the chance to deposit these elements in heaven so when you pass away your retirement plan is complete and you don't have to go back to work ever again. Is there anything in your life more rewarding than retiring to the infinite reign of heaven? What did you always look for in your life? Security, right? Well, heaven is the ultimate security. You are always welcome there and nobody is going to kick you out. The only trick is that you have to find the way yourself. There is not a special map that you can buy in any corner. The map with the roads to heaven is inside you and God dares you to find it. It looks like a game doesn't it? Well, God likes to play games with you because He respects you. It wouldn't be any fun if He gives you orders and you obey. He treats you as His equal and He likes to play all sorts of games with of you, like every father plays joyfully with his children. I know that this makes some of you mad, but this exercise will make you rich in heaven. Again, it is your turn to think about the things that you do everyday and how you are sending your savings to heaven. You won't get to heaven if you are always complaining about the rules of the game. If you are a loser or an insecure guy you will always find reasons to complain or cry "unfair". That doesn't lead you to anywhere. I am not going to lie to you. It is a fair game and we all are players in one way or the other. The ones on this side already played and won. Now we like to teach you to play and win like we did.

 Every time you people get together down there in the name of God, all the bells of glory sound in heaven. It doesn't matter what religion or denomination brings you together, God is happy because His children come to visit him. If you keep asking, you will receive. If you put all your faith on him, He will never leave you.

 

 

EPILOGUE

The communication ended here. I thought it was going to be longer. There are so many things I would like to hear about the other side. I believe everybody feels the same regarding the subject. We all need some more examples of what we will get if we follow the rules. We go through so many lives crises that sometimes all that we have learned or read is not enough to help us out. This is a book to be remembered and re-read all the time because the solutions are within our reach. I know myself that after a few days I will probably forget most of what the angel dictated to me. I will have to go back to the book time and time again if I want to reach the level the angel, which is my own spirit in the future, is on now. Everyone having the feeling that these words are meant for him it is because his own spirit is talking to him.

All that the angel says here comes from your own angels who are waiting for you to wake up and go back to them.

I'm resuming my activities now. I'm still learning from the words I heard. I'm not conscious of many of the things he said, even though I wrote them. It was like I were driving and somebody else was telling me which way to go. If I have to do it again I won't be able to find the same way.

These words were not only for others to read. They were for me, so I could start finding myself too. Like most of the human beings my age, I become very confused regarding celestial matters. Many times discussing with friends my different spiritual experiences I have become frustrated. Most of my friends complicate things and don't accept the simple idea of finding God and prosperity within themselves. Probably it is true that the higher the spiritual level you reach, the lonelier you become.

Not everybody is on the same level. Sometimes who you think is your soul-mate or your real friend, is on a completely different level and won't do anything to come down or go up to reach you. This is the source of most of the frustrations we encounter in our daily life.

Many who mock those who believe in God think they are superior beings who don't believe in superstitions.

The words I just wrote are giving me a different perspective. I never believed in re-incarnation, but it sounds right in the words of the angel. Yesterday, when a friend of mine was making fun of our beliefs, I just told him that probably he needed to be re-incarnating several more times to reach our level.

Non-believers, agnostics or atheists are always trying to embarrass others by ridiculing the idea of an invisible God who is within every one of us. The references encountered in holy books are only superstitious stories for them.

I realize every day that it is not easy for people to behave in the way angels suggests. It is really more difficult than it looks. I cannot be getting into hot discussions to make my point. I'm not going to persuade them either. The more they deny the existence of a Supreme Being, the stronger they appear. But in reality there isn't a more miserable being than the one who doesn't believe because their consciousness is in a continuous void.

Look at them in the face, especially when they are mocking others, and you will see soulless bodies --empty carcasses repeating well written lessons taught by the evil spirits in whatever form they have taken to prey on them.

I have to start little by little, like everybody else. First, I will have to avoid any domestic dispute. Just take it easy even when I feel everybody is doing something wrong.

There are stupid phrases in our domestic lives that can make us react violently and break all the peace we intended to have starting that very same day. It could also happen that you go out, loaded with a positive spirit, loving everybody and knowing that nothing can go wrong now that you learned. Then a fellow cuts in on you and parks in the only empty space in the lot when you are already late for a meeting. The guy gets out of the car in a hurry and gives you the finger as he enters the building. What can we do? Our first reaction is to burn the dammed car, blow their tires or just follow the guy and punch him in the nose. What for? Is it worthy ?

The truth behind all this is that it is very difficult for us to avoid being violent or aggressive.

I will try to remember my angel from now on, and I ask you to do the same. Probably we can build a better future and be together in the sixth level. It is not easy, but it is possible.

I don't know how many more re-incarnations I will have before becoming what I know I will be. I have the feeling this is my last one, otherwise the angel wouldn't talk to me like that. What I don't know is how long I will last now. Sometimes I feel my body growing weaker and I think the end is near. Then I'm strong again; willing to start new projects and make plans for 20 more years. I can do it. First, I know I have to finish this book, then my cycle will be completed, or perhaps not. The angels will never tell you when you are in your final moments. You have to be ready to jump over at any time. The only thing you should have to be sure of is that when the time comes you have to go with a smile on your face.

Many of the things I write here telling you not to do, are things that I have done sometime in the past. I was violent, anxious, and often full of rage, to the point of getting involved in fistfights several times. I was putting people against each other, cheated on my wife and judging everyone that passed through my life. Although I respected religion, I criticized all those who lived inside churches telling others how to behave. I never was a saint until I began to understand that being a successful producer and making a lot of money was not everything in life. Even though I was away from the right path, I always believed in God. When I achieved certain awareness, small miracles occurred. Nothing like winning the lottery or reaching complete happiness, but little things that showed me that an invisible force was protecting me.

Sometime in the early seventies, I was dead broke as I have been many times in my life, but I was thirty and full of energy. The small company I was working for went broke and my last paychecks bounced. I had no cash and no means of support in sight. I opened the refrigerator and it was empty. I looked at my wife and my two little children and felt like crying. The next day my next door neighbor, a loving grandfather, brought some coffee and donuts for the children. My wife talked to her friends on the telephone and at noon two of our friends, Jack and Carol, came home with their car loaded with groceries and left us supplies for two weeks. Jack talked to me for a while and convinced me to leave the children with them for a couple of weeks until I could get back on my feet. I accepted reluctantly, although I knew that is was for the good of everybody. The next day I went out to find a job, anything that would allow me to survive for the moment.

I ended up selling cable services door to door. Cable systems were starting in the area and nobody really needed them. They were okay with their antennas. It was very tough going door to door under a hot northern California sun just to hear "No" behind every door. After three days I wanted to quit and get any kind of job not based on commission. Jack told me that he had some money in the savings account and would be glad to lend it to me. I didn't want to do that. On the fourth day I found a gimmick to get into the houses and at the end of the day I registered ten new customers. The day after was even better. I worked Saturday and Sunday. The following week, I got paid $60 on advance for commissions. Then, my agent called me from Los Angeles. She wanted to meet me because she had a studio interested in one of my scripts. I hopped around on one leg from the news. She wanted me right away, so I called PSA; the airfare was $19. I made reservations for first thing in the morning, round trip. I took another $20 for pocket money and left $20 with my wife. Anyhow, I was sure I was going to come back with a check for several thousand dollars. When I got to Burbank I waited for the bus for half an hour. It was getting late. Then it started to rain. I waited ten more minutes watching a cab driver across the street waiting for a fare. "What the hell," I thought " the guy needs the money too." I crossed the street and negotiated the fare to Beverly Hills with the guy. We agreed on $10 so I still had $10 left. When the cab stopped at the door of the 9000 building in the Sunset strip, I paid him the $10. "Sorry, no tips," opened the door and saw something on the curb. I reached down and grabbed it. It was a leather money holder. I put it in my pocket without further delay. The driver asked me "What is it" I said "Nothing". Then I entered the building and went upstairs.

I had the meeting with the two ladies who were representing me. I hadn’t really met them before. They looked like my aunt and my grandma, speaking with a charming British accent. I listened carefully to what they had to say, waiting to hear how much the offer for my script was, but nothing happened. They just wanted to meet me and chat with me. I smiled very politely but actually felt like crying. There I was, coming to LA and spending $40 that I couldn't afford, for nothing. Oh, God.

I left the office and went to the restroom to wash my face. I looked at myself in the mirror and said, "You really goofed this time you son of a bitch" Then I remembered that I had something in my pocket I hadn't even seen. I pulled it out, opened it and found $250. Two hundreds, one fifty. No address, no business cards, just a gift from heaven. The thought of returning it to the police didn't even pass my mind. I went to the coffee shop downstairs and ordered the best breakfast they had, then I called long distance to my wife and when she asked me if I had sold the script I answered., " No, but I found two hundred and fifty dollars on the street, a gift from heaven. We can survive for a few weeks now."

Several years later I was back in Los Angeles and had an offer to run a TV station abroad. I sold most of my furniture and appliances and the week before my departure I had a huge garage sale to get rid of the rest. At that time I had invented a TV projection screen system using a small but very bright TV set upside down, a box with a plane-convex lens and an aluminum foil screen. All my neighbors used to come home and see the games on the big screen. My next door neighbor was sick and had a black nurse taking care of her. The nurse came to my garage sale with two black giants who looked more like drug dealers than the construction workers, they claimed to be. They loved the projection system and promised me to come back later on or the day after. "Don't worry, we'll come back and take everything you have left," and they laughed as they jumped into their beaten-up Cadillac convertible and left.

That night I was really afraid. I remembered their faces and told my wife I had the feeling they were going to come back to rob us. I couldn't stop thinking about that the rest of the day. At night, after dinner I went to bed with a baseball bat on my side, just in case. I never owned a firearm in my life but the bat made me feel stronger. I was hearing noises and seeing ghosts everywhere. Then I asked God to protect me and fell asleep.

The morning after, a commotion next door woke me up. I went out as soon as I could and saw a police car at my neighbor's door. I went to talk to the officers and they told me that last night they had apprehended two suspects at the corner who apparently were ready to perpetrate a crime in the neighborhood. They said they were friends of the nurse so they came in the morning to interrogate her. "You know what" I said, "They were after me. My guardian angel sent you guys."

It was no joke, later they found out that we were the main targets. Another little miracle I will never forget.

On Easter week, 1991, I was having a short vacation in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, one of the happier moments of my life. I walked into the warm waters of the Atlantic Ocean at the Sheraton Hotel's beach. Many tourists were swimming there and the ocean was very calm. I saw a big rock, like a small island, and decided to swim around it. I swam without any effort more than one hundred yards out and turned around the boulder. I kept swimming towards the beach that was right there now, only fifty yards. I couldn’t do it. The swell was taking me away and I was exhausted. I couldn’t move my arms any longer. My wife was not in sight on the beach. I couldn't even yell for help. I didn't have the air. I saw myself going under and reaching the bottom. "Well that's it" I thought, ...the end of the road." Then I stepped on the bottom and pushed myself upwards. That's all I consciously remember. Actually it was the hand of God who pulled me out of the water and threw me on the beach. When I came back to my senses I was lying on my belly on the wet sand. I still don't understand how I ended up there.

Later that year, I came back to Los Angeles. I had been winning and losing but always doing what I liked, what I was born for.

I brought some money to start a new production company, but the market was not as responsive as when I left. I could not close any deal and started to become desperate. I spent a lot of time developing an educational program with computer animation but never collected a dime. All of a sudden I found myself penniless and unable to pay the rent. In a week, the mechanics of eviction started to work its way. There is no mercy for those who cannot pay the rent. The justice system is always in favor of the landlord. All that I needed was time. I had several projects in motion and something was going to happen one way or another. I went out to pitch for commercials, visiting everybody I could. When the "D" day came, I had all my belongings loaded in a truck waiting for a miracle to happen. At that time I knew for sure that God almighty was there, ready to lend me a hand. At noon I called a guy who told me he was ready to make a commercial and I told him that if he was serious about it, I had an emergency and need some money in advance today. "Okay" he said. " Come to my office in an hour and I'll cut you a $5000 check." After that episode he became one of my closest friends.

For the next two years I was making just enough to survive, always with the sword dangling over my head. I had learned a big lesson, God was my only friend and I should trust him always, no matter what, even if I had to go through all these terrible things again. I knew that I had fewer chances than before. I was fifty-two now, didn't have a regular income, no savings, no properties, no nothing. Anyhow, I was thankful to God because I had had a wonderful life. The older I was growing, the more I realized that everything that happens to us is for a purpose. I began to understand the hidden meaning of life and learned to love God more than ever, regardless of what could happen to me in the future. "Forget about the future."

"I am in your hands and I will never lose you"

But my faith was not strong enough. I was always afraid of being late and thrown again on the streets. My doubts called up the negative vibrations and the things I feared most actually happened.

In the next two years, I was evicted two more times. I collected a huge check that bounced for insufficient funds and the new landlord didn't want to wait for me. "Just give me one month and I'll pay you a year's rent," I said, showing him the check. He didn't want to listen and took me to court a week later. This time I have learned my lesson. I called a Persian paralegal that had helped me before and delayed the eviction for several months. After I collected my check I offered to make a settlement with the landlord, but he didn't want my money. He wanted me out.

After hearing their arguments in court and seeing them act so greedy and unmerciful, I thought that hell must be populated with people like these, especially landlords.

When I had to vacate the place, I had just closed a deal with another producer who agreed to pay my rent for a year plus a percentage of the gross if I moved to Burbank, So, out I went.

The third eviction occurred after the earthquake. I lost part of the equipment I had acquired to produce and write, and my associated company took a huge loss and folded. Another dead end, but don't worry, He was going to help me find the way.

I got one of the investors who were involved in one of the productions I participated in the past, interested in one of my new projects.

I signed the papers and got an advance on my fee. Then, I managed to get into a new apartment in Brentwood, paying several months in advance because my credit was lousy.

Almost a whole year went by. Business was going well, until one of those typical Hollywood producers, the one who takes the money and runs, persuaded my partner that it was a better business to invest in a "Strip Black Jack " game he had produced. We went to Las Vegas to show our educational CD-ROM at a convention. People around the world were interested in our product, but when my partner saw how people were interested in playing Black Jack against the computer and watching the beautiful dealers take off their clothes, he flipped out and decided to put his money in that project.

I ended up on the street again.

He eventually lost all his money because the guy was a crook and the product didn't work.

This time, a couple of my old friends came to my rescue. The landlord, a 92 years old Jew, didn't want to wait for me. The story is always the same: "At your age, I would be more interested in my properties in heaven than on earth," I told him, but he didn't care.

I even went to see a priest in my neighborhood church to ask for help. This time I was not only hopeless, but also tired of being treated like shit all the time. The priest sent me to different charity places, but I couldn't qualify. I was not an indigent. I had been rich and spent a lot of money on unnecessary things.

There were some shelters I was advised to go to, but nobody would take my wife and me. My children were also struggling to make ends meet and I could not get any help.

My friend Ben lent me some money so I could move out, and the miracle happened again. I found an apartment manager from Paraguay who trusted me and without checking my credit rented me a one-bedroom apartment on the West Side for $800 with no deposit.

After this I got an idea, like an inspiration from heaven, and made an instructional video utilizing the only graphics computer I had left from the last operation. Then I met another good soul who made the first duplication of the videos and waited until I sold them to collect his fee.

There are plenty of good people around who cross your way when you need them most. I started little by little, going to schools and workshops with my wife, showing the videos and selling them one by one. Some weekends we came back with one to two hundred dollars and we celebrated as if we were making millions. After several months of barely surviving, I was hired as Associated Producer for a studio project and gradually got back on my feet. This time I was sure that the bad things would not happen to me again. "God, please spare me the pain," I prayed everyday.

There were many more little miracles that happened to me all the time. Because I was absolutely confident in the power of God.

I am reading more and more about metaphysical subjects, and I realized that part of my mission on this earth is to write words to help people become better human beings.

After my last projects I didn't go out again looking for another job, because I knew that I had to wait and listen.

When my friends moved to this area of Chatsworth, I went to visit them and loved the hills and the park next to their house. During the following weeks I came to the park and felt inside me that if I lived over here, I could come early in the morning, walk around the park and then sit down to write. I haven't written a book for the last 20 years, but this time I had to do it, even if I didn't have the time. There was a voice inside me telling me "Now you have to write the things you will hear from us. Forget everything else and do it. The rest will come to you besides."

I put the idea in my mind and everything happened as I planned. I found a house next to the hills and moved in. The angel started to talk to me right away and I wrote these pages very quickly.

The story doesn’t have a Hollywood made happy ending, because the struggle continues. I invested my savings in writing and publishing a few copies of this book and I run out of money again. The future looked dark as the worst times of my life. As my reserves diminished all my new projects were delayed for different reasons and this book was rejected or sent back unopened by several publishers. Then I asked God for help and things started to happen again. The real happy ending is that I'm going to be struggling to survive until the end of this life as everybody else's does but now I learned to ask. All my hardships were a real blessing because I can help others to overcome all adversity.

In spite of all the things that had happened to me and the ones that will happen in the future I know that at the end I will leave this world feeling happy because my life has been really fulfilling. My angel is myself in other time and dimension. He talked to me to give me hope and help me to remember that we all come from God and will go back to Him and be part of his glory.

" Thank you God for the good things and the things that I thought were bad. Those are the things that gave me the endurance and fortified my faith. Now it is only you and me, nobody else, and I know that you are in me and I am in you. I know now, that I will never lose you and you will never lose me. All the things the angel was telling me are the things that you wanted me to feel and I love you."

Now You Can Begin
