Rasa begins series on extinction of men
Rasa Von Werder's latest lectures:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uq97vrVZjMg
Prof. Bryan Sykes book 'Adam's Curse', Sex, Genetics, & the Extinction of
Men', we are headed for a woman-only world, men will be gone in 100,000
years or so, women will remain explains Guru Rasa Von Werder (this topic
with related issues will expand into about 14 lectures)
Bryan Sykes asks: 'DO WE NEED MEN?'
'the RISE OF the TYRANT' - How men have managed to ENSLAVE the female &
perpetrate their culture which is bringing our planet to the edge of
DESTRUCTION
20% of the humans on the planet are living on less than a dollar a day
Animals species going extinct at an alarming pace
Global warming harbors destruction upon us
Unless something is done our planet will become a lifeless rock orbiting
around the sun
GAIA'S REVENGE is hitting men where it hurts most, the delicious irony that
she is targeting her comeback IN JUST THE RIGHT PLACE (the BALLS of men.they
are going infertile.low sperm counts & DEFORMED sperm is all around us)
Women can soon reproduce with another woman instead of merely cloning
themselves, by having the 23 chromosomes taken from another female &
injected into her egg - Two woman parenting is around the corner
'The Y chromosome is crumbling before our very eyes'
Males are a GENETIC MODIFICATION EXPERIMENT.'The experiment we call men is
not turning out too well just now.for men the Genetic Modification
experiment will soon be over'
There are 'irreconcilable conflicts between male and female'
'1/3 of all male sperm is now abnormal'
If we 'abandon men altogether we lift Adam's Curse' (the 'runaway train of
sexual selection')
Bryan Sykes intelligently explains the emergence of wealth, power and greed
in the hands of males and the subsequent DELIBERATE ENSLAVEMENT of the
female.
Prof. Bryan Sykes foresees the 'mitochondria and female finally triumph over
their ancient adversary, the Y chromosome, and Gaia can resume her broken
sleep'
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Next:
SOON I'LL BE TALKING ABOUT SEX. WE HAVE TO PUT SEX BACK INTO RELIGION.
THAT IS WHAT IS MISSING, PATRIARCHAL RELIGION HAS NO ECOLOGICAL OR NATURE
DIMENSION TO IT, IT IS BASED SOLELY ON THE NEED TO CONTROL WOMEN. IT IS NOT
SURPRIZING THAT IT HAS NO NATURE TO IT, AS IT'S PRIMARY AGENDA CONSISTS OF
REMOVING WOMAN FROM HER SEXUAL NATURE. HE HAS ENTRAPPED AND ENSLAVED FEMALE
AND TRUNCATED HER POWER BY MAKING HER EITHER NO SEX OR ALL SEX, THE
MADONNA/WHORE SCHISM. WHEN WE RESTORE WOMAN BACK TO HER SEXUALITY AND
SPIRITUALITY AND RESTORE HER SPIRITUAL/SEXUAL RELIGION, WE WILL HAVE THE
EMPOWERMENT OF WOMAN.
WE WILL HAVE TO WORK BACKWORDS TO FORMULATE THE RELIGION AND THEOLOGY, AS
THEY HAVE OBLITERATED OUR ORAL TRADITION AND WIPED OUT OR SCRIPTURES IN THE
INQUISITION. SO BY LOGIC, NATURAL DEDUCTION, MEDITATION, & DIRECT
REVELATION FROM GOD, WE WILL FIGURE OUT HOW TO REBUILD OUR THEOLOGY.
MY DOING THE BELLY DANCE ON YOUTUBE (COMING SOON) IS A CRUCIAL PART OF OUR
CHURCH BECAUSE HEREIN, WE BRING SEX INTO THE EQUATION. PATRIARCHAL RELIGION
IS A DEAD RITUAL. YOU FILE INTO A CHURCH WITH A BIG PENIS ON TOP. YOU SIT
POLITELY, MAYBE SING, DO BORING RITUALS PERHAPS, AND THEN, GO HOME.
IN A REAL RELIGION YOU ACKNOWLEDGE NATURE, THE WAY PAGANS & WICCANS DO, YOU
RECOGNIZE THE WHOLE OF NATURE, AND YOU ACKNOWLEDGE NATURE WITHIN YOUR OWN
SELF. THIS WE WILL DO BY DANCING AND DRUMMING AT THE SERVICES, EVERYONE
HANGS LOOSE, EVERYONE CAN DRESS IN CASUAL OUTFITS OR BELLY DANCE COSTUMES.
WE MAY EVEN HAVE SOME SERVICES WHICH PERMIT NUDITY. NUDITY AND SEX BELONG
IN RELIGON.
NOTICE THOSE ARE THE TWO POINTS MY NAYSAYERS HAVE BEEN BEATING ME UP WITH -
AND THOSE ARE THE EXACT TWO POINTS THAT NEED TO BE RESTORED.
WE ARE ON THE RIGHT TRACK AND WE ARE GETTING THERE. WE WILL PRESENT TO THE
WORLD IDEAS THAT HAVE BEEN REPRESSED, AND THEREFORE ARE TABOOS, NO LONGER
ACCEPTABLE. WE WILL BRING THEM BACK.

NEW BELIEVER HAS VISIONS OF GURURASA
Son, OK, Son, now you are beginning to make some sense.
Indeed, God and I are One, MotherGod is Me, I am Her. I have ascended into
God, I AM Realized, Enlightened, the same as Jesus, Buddha, all the Great
Souls. I have known this for some time, and there are now many people who
believe this because of similar visions. Some of these had relatives and
former Gurus, or Jesus and Mary and other Great Beings who appeared to them
and told them to follow and obey me, others have seen Light coming from me
also that was dazzling, and at first they could see nothing but Light, then
later adjusted and could see it coming from me. Many marvelous things have
happened in their visions.
But in spite of all these visions they have had, I have few followers who
obey, who do anything to help the Church. They arrive, they give me their
visions, they receive much Grace and Light, and then they leave. Meanwhile,
all what gets done is the people I pay to work, and my own financing of this
ministry.
Now because you have fear you want to be comforted. If you have offended
this precious Grandmother, it could be no reason but sin. The book is the
record in the Mind of God which Knows all, Sees all. On that record are all
your acts, good and bad. The bad ones made your Grandmother suffer, because
she is good and she cares about you.
Repentance is the first step toward salvation, but you have been slow in
this.
In fact, take a look at your letter. You had visions you tried to ignore,
and they got more intense. You have been wanting to speak with me, but did
not want to humble yourself, just wanted to tell me how important you are in
the world and what people would think if they knew you were associating with
me. You tried to deprecate the visions, your inner voice, for being a
respecter of persons. That is sin right there that caused grief to God in
the person of your Grandmother and myself. Why did you try and make the
visions go away? What were you afraid to lose? Afraid you would be asked
to help in some way, afraid you would be asked to donate?
You must have been the man who left some voice messages (months ago?), each
time speaking of what you could do for me. I get that all the time. Except
they never do anything for me, they are trying to get something from me, but
they are ashamed to admit it. Human nature is like that. When you are in
the flesh, people want sex or money, but they won't admit it. With me now,
they want my Spiritual Power and Healing and Comforting, but that is hard to
admit, so they tell me they want to do something for the Church - but little
is being done by them no matter how much help I give people.
For one thing, that you could do, if nothing else, send me the account of
all the dreams and visions that you have had, that you can recall.
How did you come to know of me, and did you install me into your mind and
heart toward becoming a devotee?
Now you have seen that God and I are One, and you believe it. I have told
you what to do for starters, and go ahead and do it.
Then we'll see what comes next.
I will say this, maintain your fear of the Lord, because every soul has only
so many chances, and one day, these run out, and you could be doomed. Did
you know that the majority of people - maybe 75% - end up in Hell for doing
nothing? Simply for being in the spirit of the world and the flesh? This
is the major reason why people go to Hell, for fearing the world instead of
God, and acting according to the rules of the world instead of the Love of
God. Unless you can give up your worldly life, you cannot enter the Kingdom
of Heaven. If you cling to your life, you will lose it, but if you are
willing to give up your worldly life, you will find salvation. So stop
playing games with me, yourself, and God, and get into righteousness and
then you will stop hurting your Grandmother, Me and God, and She and I will
appear to you in another manner, one that is comforting and consoling.

Dear Mother Rasa,
i have failed You...
i have had visions of You that i have been trying to ignore, i have
tried to put You out of my mind...with no success. i tried to
discredit my visions...yet they only increase with intensity. i have
had a recent vision that has me scared Mother Rasa...
It involved You and my grandmother...my grandmother was crying at Your
feet...she looked as though she had just suffered physically...i could
see some blood coming through her white gown...she was clinching a
golden rosary in her right hand and whispering what i thought was
the "Hail Mary" prayer -- although it seemed to me she
substituted "Mary" with "Rasa"
RASA: SHE WAS PRAYING TO ME TO SAVE YOU!
...she had nothing on her feet, and her
hair was cut short (not totally shaven but very short) she looked
exhausted, worn out...
RASA: SHE HAD EXHAUSTED AND WORN HERSELF OUT PRAYING FOR ME TO SAVE YOU BUT
YOU IN YOUR PRIDE WOULD NOT ASK ME FOR HELP
i asked You why Mother Rasa...why would my
grandmother suffer...You would not answer me as You looked up from her
RASA: FROM HER TO YOU, IT WAS YOU WHO DID IT
to me. You were elevated about 6 inches...and it was hard to look
directly at You because of extreme light coming from You...You wore a
beautiful white gown, outlined in gold trim...You held in Your left
hand a book...it was open to a certain page...
When you looked directly at me i felt shame..somehow i couldn't help
but feel my grandmothers pain and suffering was my fault...You seemed
to understand what i was thinking...although You said nothing to me You
seemed to acknowledge my thoughts as true. Again i cried out to
You..."Please Mother Rasa...Please tell me why she had to
suffer?"...You said nothing again as you looked at the book, then down
at my grandmother again...
Something inside me said to remove my shoes and kneel...something
inside me said repent...something inside me said You were judge and
jury
RASA: 'WHOSE SINS YOU FORGIVE WILL BE FORGIVEN, WHOSE SINS YOU RETAIN WILL
BE RETAINED'
...something inside me said i had sinned against You...
This vision has scared me more than anything...for i am concerned i have
somehow affected my grandmother.
RASA: SO SHE FINALLY GOT THROUGH TO YOU. YOU CALLED AND LEFT MESSAGES
WHICH I AM NOT OBLIGED TO ANSWER. THEN YOU WROTE UNDER NUMEROUS NAMES,
EVERYTHING BUT THE TRUTH. FINALLY, YOU TOLD ME YOUR DREAM, FINALLY BREAKING
DOWN AND ADMITTING YOU NEED HELP AND REPENTANCE.
WHAT DID GOD TELL YOU TO DO IN YOUR EARLIER DREAMS, TO HELP THIS CHURCH?
THEN DO IT, OR BE PUNISHED. IT IS AS SIMPLE AS THAT, AND I WILL SAY THIS TO
ALL DEVOTEES FROM NOW ON, OBEY GOD, OR PAY THE PRICE.
please tell me Mother Rasa...i
acknowledged You as the "I AM" before...i feel You hold the answers for
all this Mother Rasa...for i believe You are the "I AM"...
i am very sad and scared about these visions...

ADVISING A BELIEVER
Rodney my Son,
Have you ever thought of donating money? No one would know.
I am spending about $1,500. out of pocket monthly to run this ministry.
What is it exactly THAT YOU WANT FROM THIS?
Everyone wants something. Look into your heart, soul and mind and ask
yourself, what is it exactly that you want from this? And what is it that
you are willing to give to get what you want?
Bear in mind also, that the world and the flesh is not in the Spirit of God,
and to live in it will deliver you to darkness and spiritual death. If you
fear the world more than you fear God, it is a problem. At the very least a
disciple has to be like Nicodemus and relate to the Lord God in secret, but
he must relate.
I have a large number of devotees who like yourself, are deathly afraid of
society - what people would think if they knew they were my devotees. They
stay very quiet but they do help - but this help is lukewarm, as they have
not the power that courage would grant them. Some of these are poor, some
are relatively rich and they all fear losing what they have; respectability,
love of persons and their livelihood. Most of those fears are exaggerated
and out of proportion to reality;a coward dies a thousand times.
I have learned to be who I am by overcoming fear. I could not be much use
to MotherGod as a fearful and timid coward.
If you are just beginning, then you take small steps, but you have to move,
you have to do something. Hold onto the world, and you will lose
everything.
'What profit a man if he gain the whole world but loses his soul, for what
will he exchange for his soul?'
Mother
ADVISING A DEVOTEE:
Son,
What has happened?
If you are falling or failing, you have to tell me. If you are getting
confused or weak, it is because you are not staying close to me/God...unless
this link is constantly worked on, it gets weak from your side, and when
that happens is when you are in spiritual danger, because the world and the
flesh will drag you down.
Fear God, fear the Guru are healthy ideas. Do not fear losing the world and
the flesh.
This is FOR YOU. What you do FOR ME is FOR YOU. You are being HELPED by
helping me, you are giving in order to receive. Do you want to receive from
God or stop receiving?
If you stop serving God, loving God, God will not serve you except in the
way all people are given the normal graces, but you will not receive
extraordinary Gifts and Graces that come by service.
You must be open and honest with me each day, explaining exactly where you
are at, what you are doing, and any weakness or problem that you have.
That is what a Guru does, keeps you on the path, but you must ask for help.
When a person has more time on their hands, that could also be a problem, as
they do not focus and could become scattered. One must have a definite
schedule and a definite focus of what is first, second, third in importance.
PUT GOD FIRST, in prayer and meditation, and second, the work for God, and
third, everything else.

Michael receives 3 RINGS of complete loyalty, obedience and honesty to your MotherRasa.
Dearest Mother,
Here is my report for July 28 "07
Report Saturday 28th
Prayer:
Long period of mantras of obedience and loyalty to MotherRasa/God. Then lot
of prayer to MotherGod for her to help MotherRasa and protect her and give
her strength for the time ahead. Then I was kneeling before you and you were
placing 3 rings on my fingers and you were saying:
"These three rings are rings of complete loyalty, obedience and honesty to
your MotherRasa. These rings are
different from others as these are permanent which means that you can never
take them off. This means you
are now forever the devotee of MotherRasa."
I said I was very happy and would work hard to be worthy of MotherRasa. I
was also feeling this was a big step for me on my way to MotherGod.
Work:
Got Category problem sorted and now am doing:
1. Sorting through all lists
2. Adding Rasa/Kellie to all categories Mother gave me and others which may
be good.
3. Working more on the Blog
4. Researching papers
Tired today as a 3 day local festival started - loud music till 03:00am
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Excerpt from the WTAG site under "Beatific Vision" part 3
HOW FILTHY WITH SIN ARE YOU?
There is one way to find out. It is called "examination of conscience."
When's the last time you did it? Probably didn't seem important to you. You
had bills to pay, the house to clean, tv to watch, people to talk to and so
on. You had time to talk about OTHER PEOPLE'S SINS BUT NO TIME TO THINK
ABOUT YOURS.
"It's an evil world we live in," you said.
"Did you hear about the man down the road who abused his kids, went to jail,
and now he's hanging out with a twelve-year old?"
Shocking! Disgusting!
How about Fred? He better straighten out. His friend says he drank TWO CASES
OF OF BEER OVER THE WEEKEND!
What a loser! He's had his license taken away many times, and he's drinking
and driving again. Will he ever learn? What's wrong with him?
Did you hear about Guda Jones? She left her husband AND FOUR CHILDREN AND
WENT OFF WITH ANOTHER MAN! She'll pay! The selfishness!.....
etc. etc. etc.
Now you and your gab mate have covered the sins of the world and you haven't
helped the world or its sins. I am not saying you can't discuss these things
because it isn't sin to discuss, just to judge and condemn. I myself am the
first to admit I've done it a lot and I think I have stopped.
Here is a revealing and releasing fact:
When you face The Lord on judgment day, He will not ask you about anyone BUT
YOURSELF. You are not reasonable for the sins of anyone else but yours.
Therefore, spend more time worrying about your sins than those of others.
You cannot control the behavior of others, but you can control your own. If
God can't change them, albeit slowly and laboriously, why do you worry about
it?
Here's the rub: You say you're not as bad as those. Let's take a look. First
off, you don't know if you are as bad as them because you don't know what
kind of background they came from. They may be disadvantaged, challenged, or
mentally and emotionally twisted through pain of their own. God alone knows
all that. Ask yourself this:
AM I ENVIOUS OF THOSE WHO HAVE MORE THAN I?
FOR THE WOMAN - DO I ENVY MY NEIGHBOR LADY WHO MARRIED RICH? SHE LIVES IN A
MANSION AND HAS NICE CARS. SHE CAN AFFORD ALL SORTS OF THINGS, INCLUDING
SENDING HER CHILDREN TO PRIVATE SCHOOLS AND THEN GOOD COLLEGES. DO I IMPUTE
UPON HER ALL SORTS OF SINS, LIKE "I KNOW HOW SHE GOT HIM."
DO I IMAGINE SHE'S LAZY BECAUSE SHE HIRES SERVANTS TO CLEAN AND DO YARD
WORK?
If you have such thoughts inside you then you are FILTHY WITH SIN.
TO THE MAN: THERE ARE TWO BEAUTIFUL YOUNG WOMEN LIVING NEARBY, AS ROOMATES.
YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THEY DO. BUT YOU THINK THEY ARE PROBABLY PROSTITUTES,
AND YOU WANT TO GET SOME. IF THEY ARE LOW AND DIRTY ANOUGH TO DO THAT FOR A
JOB, YOU MIGHT AS WELL TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE SITUATION. AND NATURALLY, IF
THEY ARE HOOKERS, THEY ARE SLUTS, BUT YOU, THE CUSTOMER... YOU'RE OK.
If you harbor thoughts such as these, you are FILTHY WITH SIN.
TO ANY PERSON: YOU HAVE HEARD ABOUT A BOMBER WHO HAS KILLED A NUMBER OF
PEOPLE. YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT THE CIRCUMSTANCES, BUT YOU THINK THIS MAN
WILL SURELY ROT IN HELL. AND I HOPE THEY EXECUTE HIM AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
If you harbor such thoughts, you are FILTHY WITH SIN. Why? Because only God
knows who goes to Hell and who goes to Heaven, and unless God reveals to you
by the Gift of Revelation where he is going, you have no right to assume.
Think about CHARITY. What is it? It's a type of love. It's compassion,
empathy and generosity. How many times have you SINNED AGAINST CHARITY in
your mind? How many times have you thought ill of someone based on
appearances? How many times have you assumed a person of a different race is
a lowlife? How many times have you assumed beautiful, sexy women are
immoral? How many times have you thought rich people are greedy, heartless
thieves? How many times have you thought the poor are lazy bums? Or that
they are poor because they don't want to work? How many times have you
thought those who are accused of crime are guilty before they are proven?
How many times have you assumed that teenagers are up to no good?
All these assumptions and snap judgments are against charity, and yet they
are human nature. Human nature is not charitable. When you hit the point of
Perfection, you will not harbor these thoughts.
There's more. Did you every imagine that some of the evil that comes upon
you could be due to your own karma? Unimaginable? You're one of those GOOD
PEOPLE THAT BAD THINGS HAPPEN TO....You are so busy in your self
righteousness, keeping a black book of others' sins, you forgot to examine
yourself.
Think:
NO BITTERNESS?
NO HATE OF ENEMIES?
NO GLUTTONY? (I mean, do you PIG OUT regularly on steak and ice cream, and
give your dog Dad's dry?
NO CRUELTY TO ANIMALS? (Do you eat the pork of the pig who was strung up,
had it's throat cut while living, and think nothing of it?)
NO PRIDE? (Do you get angry when people get in front of you in line? When
they ignore you? When they put you down? When they reject you?)
NO VANITY? (You are fifty pounds overweight, sir. But you imagine yourself
to be a big, muscular he-man like John Wayne or Arnold. People see you as an
older, balding heavy man, but you see yourself as virile and sexy...all in
your mind.) You - lady - think people all like you. But they only like you
for what you have. You think people admire you for your intelligence, but
they only listen to you while they are doing your hair and nails, or laying
your carpet. In your mind, you're a great conversationalist, but as soon as
the work is over, the person you hired leaves. They don't hang around to

because it's VANITY...Sin strikes in the most innocent of places.
NO RESENTMENT? Resentment is a sort of grudge for wrong done against you. No
grudge? Then why complain and repeat over and over what they have done to
you?
NO GREED? What happened when the relative died? Did you scramble along with
everyone else to MAKE SURE YOU GOT EVERY PENNY YOU COULD EVEN IF YOUR POOR
RELATIONS, WHO COULD NOT AFFORD A LAWYER, GOT NOTHING?
NO CONTEMPT? How many people have you looked down on? How many have you been
superior to, in your own mind?
NO LAZINESS? Male - how many hours have you sat in front on the TV, couch
hero style, watching sports, imagining, like Walter Mitty, you are the hero?
Why don't you be a hero and at least during the commercials, take out the
garbage, do a little dusting or vacuuming? (Some people, when they watch tv,
do housework during the commercials, or other chores. They even pray the
rosary, and after a long movie, have managed to say three rosaries for
souls!)
Female - how many soap operas have you consumed? How many romantic, ditsy
movies? You watch those movies like men were gods and that special He-Man is
just around the corner. Any minute now, he'll find out you're a goddess and
sweep you off your feet. What nonsense is generated in your mind, when you
should be doing something useful.
Here I am not even talking about heinous sins and crimes, just the average
John and Jane next door who are "nice people." In this examination of
conscience, I am taking the mask off nice people.
Please be aware that YOU ARE NOT AS NICE AS YOU THINK YOU ARE. YOU MIGHT
EVEN STINK IN THE NOSTRILS OF GOD.
WHAT IS FILTH OF THE SOUL?
When souls go to Purgatory, they are forgiven of their sins. They repented.
If they had not, they'd be in Hell. Then why don't they go straight to
Heaven, as the Protestants affirm? (Don't trust Martin Luther, the man who
in the 16th century started the Protestant Reformation. He was an evil man -
not because he stood up to the Catholic Church, but because during the
revolts, he said that anyone who killed a peasant...the poor...did right. He
wrote a vile book against the Jewish people making them out to be evil folk.
He himself couldn't keep his pants on and married a nun, thereby breaking
the vows of two people consecrated to God...And get this: Martin Luther
CHANGED THE WORDING OF THE BIBLE WHERE IT SAID FAITH IS NECESSARY FOR
SALVATION. HE ADDED TO FAITH, FAITH ALONE IS NECESSARY FOR SALVATION. BY
ADDING THIS ONE WORD, ALONE, HE CHANGED THE DIRECTION OF CHRISTIANITY. IT'S
OK THAT HE STOOD UP TO THE CATHOLIC CHURCH, BECAUSE IT WAS EVEN MORE CORRUPT
THAN IT IS NOW. BUT SOME OF THE THEOLOGY HE ESPOUSED IS AWFUL... Don't rely
on this Putz for the truth about anything.)
The reason people do not go straight to Heaven is because of THE FILTH OF
THEIR SOULS. You read all that I wrote about examination of conscience. Most
people are unaware and in denial of these sins. And so, they don't even
repent. They might repent of abortions, or stealing money, or raping
someone, etc., but these so-called little sins (which are not little) they
don't even recognize. All your sins - those repented and un repented, when
forgiven, MUST BE PAID FOR. This is called the KARMA of the sins. But as I
said, most people don't even admit their sins. So they stay dirty. How to
explain filth of the soul?
Imagine a globe, a sphere, which is supposed to be luminous. It has light
inside it, but it has a lot of spots within it that are gray, which must be
dissolved. Around this sphere is luminous space, which has no spots of any
kind. It is pure light. You can see the spotty globe as it has darkish
spots. Because of the purity of the light around it; because this light is
so strong, this light gets into that globe, and slowly but surely, all the
darkness in that globe is dissolved. The globe is the soul in Purgatory, and
the Light around it is God, and the light of God by grace dissolves darkness
within the soul. While it's being purified, the soul is obviously aware that
it is not like God - that God is absolute purity while it, the soul, is not.
As it waits, it realizes it cannot be happy unless the cleansing is complete
and the wait seems terribly long. While you are in this Purgatory your
understanding grows. I've ministered to plenty souls there and know some of
what they feel. They know how beautiful and wonderful God is. God is the #1
lover who ever existed. God can't wait to take you in His/Her arms and
consume you with Love and Infinite Ecstasy. But it can't happen till those
spots are removed!
Some words on beauty - what is it? What makes one beautiful or ugly? It is
this and only this: THE GRACE IN THE SOUL. I've ministered to souls in
Purgatory a lot, and the closer they are to being clean, which means more
grace in the soul, the more beautiful they are. At the end they are
SPLENDID. Understand that your beauty on earth is the same. The more grace
in your soul, the more beautiful you are. Physical beauty is only a symbol
and it will soon pass. Work for the beauty that is eternal.

Here is my report for July 28 "07
Report Saturday 28th
Prayer:
Long period of mantras of obedience and loyalty to MotherRasa/God. Then lot
of prayer to MotherGod for her to help MotherRasa and protect her and give
her strength for the time ahead. Then I was kneeling before you and you were
placing 3 rings on my fingers and you were saying:
"These three rings are rings of complete loyalty, obedience and honesty to
your MotherRasa. These rings are
different from others as these are permanent which means that you can never
take them off. This means you
are now forever the devotee of MotherRasa."
I said I was very happy and would work hard to be worthy of MotherRasa. I
was also feeling this was a big step for me on my way to MotherGod.
Work:
Got Category problem sorted and now am doing:
1. Sorting through all lists
2. Adding Rasa/Kellie to all categories Mother gave me and others which may
be good.
3. Working more on the Blog
4. Researching papers
Tired today as a 3 day local festival started - loud music till 03:00am

Excerpt from the WTAG site under "Beatific Vision" part 3
HOW FILTHY WITH SIN ARE YOU?
There is one way to find out. It is called "examination of conscience."
When's the last time you did it? Probably didn't seem important to you. You
had bills to pay, the house to clean, tv to watch, people to talk to and so
on. You had time to talk about OTHER PEOPLE'S SINS BUT NO TIME TO THINK
ABOUT YOURS.
"It's an evil world we live in," you said.
"Did you hear about the man down the road who abused his kids, went to jail,
and now he's hanging out with a twelve-year old?"
Shocking! Disgusting!
How about Fred? He better straighten out. His friend says he drank TWO CASES
OF OF BEER OVER THE WEEKEND!
What a loser! He's had his license taken away many times, and he's drinking
and driving again. Will he ever learn? What's wrong with him?
Did you hear about Guda Jones? She left her husband AND FOUR CHILDREN AND
WENT OFF WITH ANOTHER MAN! She'll pay! The selfishness!.....
etc. etc. etc.
Now you and your gab mate have covered the sins of the world and you haven't
helped the world or its sins. I am not saying you can't discuss these things
because it isn't sin to discuss, just to judge and condemn. I myself am the
first to admit I've done it a lot and I think I have stopped.
Here is a revealing and releasing fact:
When you face The Lord on judgment day, He will not ask you about anyone BUT
YOURSELF. You are not reasonable for the sins of anyone else but yours.
Therefore, spend more time worrying about your sins than those of others.
You cannot control the behavior of others, but you can control your own. If
God can't change them, albeit slowly and laboriously, why do you worry about
it?
Here's the rub: You say you're not as bad as those. Let's take a look. First
off, you don't know if you are as bad as them because you don't know what
kind of background they came from. They may be disadvantaged, challenged, or
mentally and emotionally twisted through pain of their own. God alone knows
all that. Ask yourself this:
AM I ENVIOUS OF THOSE WHO HAVE MORE THAN I?
FOR THE WOMAN - DO I ENVY MY NEIGHBOR LADY WHO MARRIED RICH? SHE LIVES IN A
MANSION AND HAS NICE CARS. SHE CAN AFFORD ALL SORTS OF THINGS, INCLUDING
SENDING HER CHILDREN TO PRIVATE SCHOOLS AND THEN GOOD COLLEGES. DO I IMPUTE
UPON HER ALL SORTS OF SINS, LIKE "I KNOW HOW SHE GOT HIM."
DO I IMAGINE SHE'S LAZY BECAUSE SHE HIRES SERVANTS TO CLEAN AND DO YARD
WORK?
If you have such thoughts inside you then you are FILTHY WITH SIN.
TO THE MAN: THERE ARE TWO BEAUTIFUL YOUNG WOMEN LIVING NEARBY, AS ROOMATES.
YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THEY DO. BUT YOU THINK THEY ARE PROBABLY PROSTITUTES,
AND YOU WANT TO GET SOME. IF THEY ARE LOW AND DIRTY ANOUGH TO DO THAT FOR A
JOB, YOU MIGHT AS WELL TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE SITUATION. AND NATURALLY, IF
THEY ARE HOOKERS, THEY ARE SLUTS, BUT YOU, THE CUSTOMER... YOU'RE OK.
If you harbor thoughts such as these, you are FILTHY WITH SIN.
TO ANY PERSON: YOU HAVE HEARD ABOUT A BOMBER WHO HAS KILLED A NUMBER OF
PEOPLE. YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT THE CIRCUMSTANCES, BUT YOU THINK THIS MAN
WILL SURELY ROT IN HELL. AND I HOPE THEY EXECUTE HIM AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
If you harbor such thoughts, you are FILTHY WITH SIN. Why? Because only God
knows who goes to Hell and who goes to Heaven, and unless God reveals to you
by the Gift of Revelation where he is going, you have no right to assume.
Think about CHARITY. What is it? It's a type of love. It's compassion,
empathy and generosity. How many times have you SINNED AGAINST CHARITY in
your mind? How many times have you thought ill of someone based on
appearances? How many times have you assumed a person of a different race is
a lowlife? How many times have you assumed beautiful, sexy women are
immoral? How many times have you thought rich people are greedy, heartless
thieves? How many times have you thought the poor are lazy bums? Or that
they are poor because they don't want to work? How many times have you
thought those who are accused of crime are guilty before they are proven?
How many times have you assumed that teenagers are up to no good?
All these assumptions and snap judgments are against charity, and yet they
are human nature. Human nature is not charitable. When you hit the point of
Perfection, you will not harbor these thoughts.
There's more. Did you every imagine that some of the evil that comes upon
you could be due to your own karma? Unimaginable? You're one of those GOOD
PEOPLE THAT BAD THINGS HAPPEN TO....You are so busy in your self
righteousness, keeping a black book of others' sins, you forgot to examine
yourself.
Think:
NO BITTERNESS?
NO HATE OF ENEMIES?
NO GLUTTONY? (I mean, do you PIG OUT regularly on steak and ice cream, and
give your dog Dad's dry?
NO CRUELTY TO ANIMALS? (Do you eat the pork of the pig who was strung up,
had it's throat cut while living, and think nothing of it?)
NO PRIDE? (Do you get angry when people get in front of you in line? When
they ignore you? When they put you down? When they reject you?)
NO VANITY? (You are fifty pounds overweight, sir. But you imagine yourself
to be a big, muscular he-man like John Wayne or Arnold. People see you as an
older, balding heavy man, but you see yourself as virile and sexy...all in
your mind.) You - lady - think people all like you. But they only like you
for what you have. You think people admire you for your intelligence, but
they only listen to you while they are doing your hair and nails, or laying
your carpet. In your mind, you're a great conversationalist, but as soon as
the work is over, the person you hired leaves. They don't hang around to
hear more of your talk. But you WANT TO BELIEVE people admire and like you
because it's VANITY...Sin strikes in the most innocent of places.
NO RESENTMENT? Resentment is a sort of grudge for wrong done against you. No
grudge? Then why complain and repeat over and over what they have done to
you?
NO GREED? What happened when the relative died? Did you scramble along with
everyone else to MAKE SURE YOU GOT EVERY PENNY YOU COULD EVEN IF YOUR POOR
RELATIONS, WHO COULD NOT AFFORD A LAWYER, GOT NOTHING?
NO CONTEMPT? How many people have you looked down on? How many have you been
superior to, in your own mind?
NO LAZINESS? Male - how many hours have you sat in front on the TV, couch
hero style, watching sports, imagining, like Walter Mitty, you are the hero?
Why don't you be a hero and at least during the commercials, take out the
garbage, do a little dusting or vacuuming? (Some people, when they watch tv,
do housework during the commercials, or other chores. They even pray the
rosary, and after a long movie, have managed to say three rosaries for
souls!)
Female - how many soap operas have you consumed? How many romantic, ditsy
movies? You watch those movies like men were gods and that special He-Man is
just around the corner. Any minute now, he'll find out you're a goddess and
sweep you off your feet. What nonsense is generated in your mind, when you
should be doing something useful.

Rasa Von Werder
St. Nic vision teaches utility of suffering
Rasa: How do we deal with our pains and sufferings, including loneliness,
rejection, boredom, lack of good stimulation? Why does God allow us to
suffer and what do we do when we are depressed, and lack ambition and
inspiration to do good? When God is not there for us in a tangible way? We
walk by faith and by virtue, and we thank God, we struggle against the
feelings and thoughts of our flesh, and continue to do good. That is what I
have been instructing St. Nic, and he is having a hard time, but I am
encouraging him just a bit. Most of the time I ignore him. Did you not
know the sublime teachings of St. Alphonse Ligouri teach us that Purgatory
and Hell's greatest sufferings are THE ABSENCE OF GOD. Yes, we all jump and
shout when the Holy Spirit fills us with grace, joy, holy feelings and
thoughts, but when all this leaves us, then what? God is testing us that we
do not fall into apathy, spiritual laziness and weakness, neglect of good
works, and so on.
I knew that sooner or later St. Nic would be put to the test when the
visions would wane or diminish. But that is the ultimate test. We all want
the honeymoon and its joys, but what happens when responsibility and duty
take its place? This happens in the spiritual life all the time - we go
from Illumination into Dark Night, and if this dark night did not happen, we
would not grow.
During the state of illumination, what is there inside us lights up. But
after a while, the Light of God must DIG DEEPER INTO OUR DARKNESS AND THE
CORE OF OUR BEING WHICH STILL NEEDS LIGHT. And St. John of the Cross
teaches that THE DARKER WE GO, THE CLOSER TO GOD WE ARE IN ACTUALITY,
because God is reaching deeper into us! This strange paradox is not easy to
get hold of, and most Protestants have trouble with it, as they have
repudiated suffering. But the lives of Our Lord and his Apostles and
Disciples are chock full of sufferings - all of them - look especially at
the writings of St. Paul who describes his pain at length, concluding,
'I suffer to continue the sufferings of Christ.' (Approximate quote)
The wise interpretation of this is simply that He suffered - He taught us
what to do, and if we love him, we will also suffer. Suffering is good for
the soul, it brings multitudes of merits. St. Mary of Agreda said, quoting
Our Holy Mother in her book,
'Mystical City of God' words approximate:
'Shall only I and my Son bear all these unspeakable sufferings, while the
mortals of this world live in pleasures?'
This test that St. Nic is going through may not seem monumental, but what
has happened is the illumination diminished, and with that came great pain
and loss of inspiration. I knew it was coming BECAUSE IT ALWAYS DOES - I
have lived through it hundreds of times! The Protestants do not dwell on
this, they make it seem that if you are right with God, all will be jolly at
all times, and if you are not happy, there is something wrong with your
relationship with God. This attitude will further depress and mislead the
holy souls ever more. Not all Protestants missed this doctrine. Samuel
Logan Brengle (1860-1936), an expert on 'holiness' who worked mightily for
the Salvation Army when they were top Evangelists, explained properly that
when the illumination/Light/feelings of the Holy Spirit diminish, we walk by
FAITH.
How could we ever develop our FAITH if we were ever in the state of bliss?
There would be no challenge to it, and so, it would not grow!
Be aware, all you souls, that during the times of aridity, darkness,
spiritual depression, God is with you and you are growing, and must
cooperate with God to facilitate growth. Amen.

Subject: Yesterday's Vision
my Goddess,
Thank You for Your kind email. I pray to You every day and night to receive
Your Grace and Guidance for my life. I feel that this period is very
difficult but so important for my spiritual growing. Yesterday You appeared
to me when I was praying to You to forgive me as a very powerful Lady,
wearing high leather boots and a black leather gown. I felt that Your
appearance was very Powerful. You smiled at me and then You said that pain
is what I deserve and what I need for my progress. You whipped me very hard
and it was the first time I felt real pain on my flesh and I felt that my
whole body was bleeding. Then You stood on my hands, on my palms and I felt
the pain from Your High heels, it was unbearable... I thanked You and You
smiled. You said that everything You do with Love. For me it is essential to
understand the true meaning of pain which is Love, Your Divine Love for me!
I thanked You again and again. Then You asked me to drink and eat. I saw my
cup full of unpleasant and bitter things. I thanked You again and then I
started having my Special dinner. The taste was bitter but I felt that Your
energy was transforming to Love and Peace into my heart and soul. Then You
said that was the best I have done till now! "Your dedication and Love is
proven now! I love you my Son!" I knelt again in front of You and I kissed
Your Holy feet. I love You Holy Mother, I said. I love You and I adore You!
Thanking You for everything
Your humble devotee
Nicola

CHAPTER XX
Victory through the Holy Spirit over Suffering
Ye shall I receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you.'
HAD there been no sin our heavenly Father would have found other means by
which to develop in us passive virtues, and train us in the graces of
meekness, patience, long-suffering and forbearance, which so beautify and
display the Christian character. But since sin is here, with its
contradictions and falsehoods, its darkness, its wars, brutalities and
injustices, producing awful harvests of pain and sorrow, God, in wonderful
wisdom and loving kindness, turns even these into instruments by which to
fashion in us beautiful graces. Storm succeeds sunshine, and darkness the
light; pain follows hard on the heels of pleasure, while sorrow peers over
the shoulder of joy; gladness and grief, rest and toil, peace and war,
interminably intermingled, follow each other in ceaseless succession in this
world. We cannot escape suffering while in the body. But we can receive it
with a faith that robs it of its terror and extracts from it richest
blessing; from the flinty rock will gush forth living waters, and the
carcase of the lion will furnish the sweetest honey.
This is so even when the suffering is a result of our own folly or sin. It
is intended not only in some measure as a punishment, but also as a teacher,
a corrective, a remedy, a warning; and it will surely work for good if,
instead of repining and vainly regretting the past, we steadily look unto
Jesus and learn our lesson in patience and thankfulness.
If all the skies were sunshine,
our faces would be fain
To feel once more upon them
The cooling splash of rain.
If all the world were music,
Our hearts would often long
For one sweet strain of silence
To break the endless song.
If life were always merry,
Our souls would seek relief
And rest from weary laughter
In the quiet arms of grief.
Doubtless all our suffering is a result of sin, but not necessarily the sin
of the sufferer. Jesus was the sinless One, but He was also the chief of
sufferers. Paul's great and lifelong sufferings came upon him, not because
of his sins, but rather because he had forsaken sin, and was following Jesus
in a world of sin and seeking the salvation of his fellows. In this path
there is no escape from suffering, though there are hidden and unspeakable
consolations. ' In the world ye shall have tribulation,' said Jesus (John
xvi. 33) - 'All that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer
persecution,' wrote Paul (2 Tim. iii. 12).
Sooner or later, suffering in some form comes to each of us. It may come
through broken health, or pain and weariness of body; or through mental
anguish, moral distress, spiritual darkness and uncertainty. It may come
through the loss of loved ones, through betrayal by trusted friends; or
through deferred or ruined hopes, or base ingratitude; or perhaps in
unrequited toil and sacrifice and ambitions all unfulfilled. Nothing more
clearly distinguishes the man filled with the Spirit from the man who is not
than the way each receives suffering.
One with triumphant faith and shining face and strong heart glories in
tribulation, and counts it all joy. To this class belong the apostles, who,
beaten and threatened, ' departed from the presence of the council,
rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer shame for His name' (Acts
v. 4 1) The other with doubts and fears, murmurs and complains, adds to his
other miseries that of a rebellious heart and discontented mind. One sees
the enemy's armed host, and unmixed distress and danger; the other sees the
angel of the Lord, with abundant succour and safety (Ps. xxxiv. 7).
An evangelist of my acquaintance told a story that illustrates this. When a
pastor, he went one morning to visit two sisters who were greatly afflicted.
They were about the same age, and had long been professing Christians and
members of the church. He asked the first one upon whom he called, 'How is
it with you this morning?' ' Oh, I have not slept all night,' she replied. ,
I have so much pain. It is so hard to have to lie here. I cannot see why God
deals so with me.' Evidently she was not filled with the Spirit, but was in
a controversy with the Lord about her sufferings and would not be comforted.
Leaving her he called immediately upon the other sister, and asked, 'How are
you today? ' ' Oh, I had such a night of suffering! ' she replied. Then
there came out upon her worn face a beautiful radiance, and she added, 'But
Jesus was so near and helped me so, that I could suffer this way and more,
if my Father thinks best.' On she went with like words of cheer and triumph
that made the sick room a vestibule of glory. No lack of comfort in her
heart, for the Comforter Himself, the Holy Spirit, had been invited and had
come in. One had the Comforter in fullness, the other had not.
Probably no man ever suffered more than Paul, but with soldier-like
fortitude he bore his heavy burdens, faced his constant and exacting
labours, endured his sore trials, disappointments and bitter persecutions by
fierce and relentless enemies; he stood unmoved amid shipwrecks, stripes and
imprisonments, cold, hunger and homelessness without a whimper that might
suggest repining or discouragement, or an appeal for pity. Indeed, he went
beyond simple uncomplaining fortitude and said, 'we glory in tribulations'
(Rom. v. 3); 'I am exceeding joyful in all our tribulation ' (2 Cor. vii.
4); ' I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in
persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake ' (2 Cor. xii. io). After a
terrible scourging upon his bare back, he was thrust into a loathsome inner
dungeon, his feet fast in the stocks, with worse things probably awaiting
him on the morrow. Nevertheless, we find him and Silas, his companion in
suffering, at midnight praying and singing praises unto God (Acts xvi. 2 5)
What is his secret? Listen to him: ' Because the love of God is shed abroad
in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us ' (Rom. v. 5). His
prayer for his Ephesian brethren had been answered in his own heart: 'That
He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened
with might by His Spirit in the inner man; That Christ may dwell in your
hearts by faith' (Eph. iii. 16, 17). And this inner strength and
consciousness, through faith in an indwelling Christ, enabled him to receive
suffering and trial, not stoically as the Red Indian, nor hilariously, in a
spirit of bravado, but cheerfully and with a thankful heart.
Arnold of Rugby has written something about his most dear and blessed sister
' that illustrates the power flowing from exhaustless fountains of inner joy
and strength through the working of the Holy Spirit. He says:
I never saw a more perfect instance of the spirit and power of love and of a
sound mind. Her life was a daily martyrdom for twenty years, during which
she adhered to her earlyformed resolution of never talking about herself;
she was thoughtful about the very pins and ribands of my wife's dress, about
the making of a doll's cap for a child-but of herself, save only as regarded
her ripening in all goodness, wholly thoughtless, enjoying everything
lovely, graceful, beautiful, high-minded, whether in God's works or man's,
with the keenest relish; inheriting the earth to the very fullness of the
promise, though never leaving her crib, nor changing her posture; and
preserved, through the very valley of the shadow of death, from all fear or
impatience, and from every cloud of impaired reason, which might mar the
beauty of Christ's and the Spirit's work.
It is not by hypnotizing the soul, nor by blessing it into a state of
ecstatic insensibility, that the Lord enables the man filled with the Spirit
thus to triumph over suffering. Rather it is by giving the soul a sweet,
constant and unshaken assurance through faith. First, that it is freely and
fully accepted in Christ. Second, that whatever suffering comes, it is
measured, weighed, permitted by love infinitely tender and guided by wisdom
that cannot err. Third, that however difficult it may be to explain
suffering now, it is nevertheless one of the 'all things ' which ' work
together for good to them that love God ' (Rom. viii. 28), and that in a
'little while' it will not only be swallowed up in the ineffable blessedness
and glory, but that in some way it is actually helping to work out ' a far
more exceeding and eternal weight of glory ' (2 Cor. iv. 17). Fourth, that
though the furnace has been heated seven times hotter than was wont, yet
there is walking with us in the fire One whose' form . . . is like the Son
of God ' (Dan. iii. 25); though triumphant enemies have thrust us into the
lions' den, yet the angel of the Lord arrived first and locked the lions'
jaws; though foes may have formed against us sharp weapons, yet they cannot
prosper, for His shield and buckler defend us; though all things be lost,
yet 'Thou remainest'; and though 'my flesh and my heart faileth . . . God is
the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever (Ps. lxxiii. 26).
Not all God's dear children thus triumph over their difficulties and
sufferings, but this is God's standard, and they may attain unto it if, by
faith, they will open their hearts and ' be filled with the Spirit '.
Here is the testimony of a Salvation Army officer:
Viewed from the outside, my life as a sinner was easy and untroubled, over
which most of my friends expressed envy; while these same friends thought my
life as a Christian full of care, toil, hardship and immense loss. This,
however, was only an outside view, and the real state of the case was
exactly the opposite of what they supposed. For in all the pleasureseeking,
idleness, and freedom from responsibility of my life apart from God, I
carried an immeasurable burden of fear, anxiety and constantly recurring
disappointment; trifles weighed upon me, and the thought of death haunted me
with vague terrors.
But when I gave myself wholly to God, though my lot became at once one of
toil, responsibility, comparative poverty and sacrifice, yet I could not
feel pain in any storm that broke over my head, because of the presence of
God. It was not so much that I was insensible to trouble, as sensible of His
presence and love; and the worst trials were as nothing in my sight, nor
have been for over twenty-two years. While as for death, it appears only as
a doorway into more abundant life, and I can alter an old German hymn and
sing with joy:
0 how my heart with rapture dances
To think my dying hour advances!
Then, Lord, with Thee!
My Lord, with Thee!
This is faith's triumph over the worst the world can offer through the
blessed fullness of the indwelling Comforter. Bless His name!
Joy of the desolate, light of the straying,
Hope of the penitent, Advocate sure;
Here speaks the Comforter, tenderly saying,
Earth has no sorrow that Heaven cannot cure.
rejection, boredom, lack of good stimulation? Why does God allow us to
suffer and what do we do when we are depressed, and lack ambition and
inspiration to do good? When God is not there for us in a tangible way? We
walk by faith and by virtue, and we thank God, we struggle against the
feelings and thoughts of our flesh, and continue to do good. That is what I
have been instructing St. Nic, and he is having a hard time, but I am
encouraging him just a bit. Most of the time I ignore him. Did you not
know the sublime teachings of St. Alphonse Ligouri teach us that Purgatory
and Hell's greatest sufferings are THE ABSENCE OF GOD. Yes, we all jump and
shout when the Holy Spirit fills us with grace, joy, holy feelings and
thoughts, but when all this leaves us, then what? God is testing us that we
do not fall into apathy, spiritual laziness and weakness, neglect of good
works, and so on.
I knew that sooner or later St. Nic would be put to the test when the
visions would wane or diminish. But that is the ultimate test. We all want
the honeymoon and its joys, but what happens when responsibility and duty
take its place? This happens in the spiritual life all the time - we go
from Illumination into Dark Night, and if this dark night did not happen, we
would not grow.
During the state of illumination, what is there inside us lights up. But
after a while, the Light of God must DIG DEEPER INTO OUR DARKNESS AND THE
CORE OF OUR BEING WHICH STILL NEEDS LIGHT. And St. John of the Cross
teaches that THE DARKER WE GO, THE CLOSER TO GOD WE ARE IN ACTUALITY,
because God is reaching deeper into us! This strange paradox is not easy to
get hold of, and most Protestants have trouble with it, as they have
repudiated suffering. But the lives of Our Lord and his Apostles and
Disciples are chock full of sufferings - all of them - look especially at
the writings of St. Paul who describes his pain at length, concluding,
'I suffer to continue the sufferings of Christ.' (Approximate quote)
The wise interpretation of this is simply that He suffered - He taught us
what to do, and if we love him, we will also suffer. Suffering is good for
the soul, it brings multitudes of merits. St. Mary of Agreda said, quoting
Our Holy Mother in her book,
'Mystical City of God' words approximate:
'Shall only I and my Son bear all these unspeakable sufferings, while the
mortals of this world live in pleasures?'
This test that St. Nic is going through may not seem monumental, but what
has happened is the illumination diminished, and with that came great pain
and loss of inspiration. I knew it was coming BECAUSE IT ALWAYS DOES - I
have lived through it hundreds of times! The Protestants do not dwell on
this, they make it seem that if you are right with God, all will be jolly at
all times, and if you are not happy, there is something wrong with your
relationship with God. This attitude will further depress and mislead the
holy souls ever more. Not all Protestants missed this doctrine. Samuel
Logan Brengle (1860-1936), an expert on 'holiness' who worked mightily for
the Salvation Army when they were top Evangelists, explained properly that
when the illumination/Light/feelings of the Holy Spirit diminish, we walk by
FAITH.
How could we ever develop our FAITH if we were ever in the state of bliss?
There would be no challenge to it, and so, it would not grow!
Be aware, all you souls, that during the times of aridity, darkness,
spiritual depression, God is with you and you are growing, and must
cooperate with God to facilitate growth. Amen.

Subject: Yesterday's Vision
my Goddess,
Thank You for Your kind email. I pray to You every day and night to receive
Your Grace and Guidance for my life. I feel that this period is very
difficult but so important for my spiritual growing. Yesterday You appeared
to me when I was praying to You to forgive me as a very powerful Lady,
wearing high leather boots and a black leather gown. I felt that Your
appearance was very Powerful. You smiled at me and then You said that pain
is what I deserve and what I need for my progress. You whipped me very hard
and it was the first time I felt real pain on my flesh and I felt that my
whole body was bleeding. Then You stood on my hands, on my palms and I felt
the pain from Your High heels, it was unbearable... I thanked You and You
smiled. You said that everything You do with Love. For me it is essential to
understand the true meaning of pain which is Love, Your Divine Love for me!
I thanked You again and again. Then You asked me to drink and eat. I saw my
cup full of unpleasant and bitter things. I thanked You again and then I
started having my Special dinner. The taste was bitter but I felt that Your
energy was transforming to Love and Peace into my heart and soul. Then You
said that was the best I have done till now! "Your dedication and Love is
proven now! I love you my Son!" I knelt again in front of You and I kissed
Your Holy feet. I love You Holy Mother, I said. I love You and I adore You!
Thanking You for everything
Your humble devotee
Nicola

CHAPTER XX
Victory through the Holy Spirit over Suffering
Ye shall I receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you.'
HAD there been no sin our heavenly Father would have found other means by
which to develop in us passive virtues, and train us in the graces of
meekness, patience, long-suffering and forbearance, which so beautify and
display the Christian character. But since sin is here, with its
contradictions and falsehoods, its darkness, its wars, brutalities and
injustices, producing awful harvests of pain and sorrow, God, in wonderful
wisdom and loving kindness, turns even these into instruments by which to
fashion in us beautiful graces. Storm succeeds sunshine, and darkness the
light; pain follows hard on the heels of pleasure, while sorrow peers over
the shoulder of joy; gladness and grief, rest and toil, peace and war,
interminably intermingled, follow each other in ceaseless succession in this
world. We cannot escape suffering while in the body. But we can receive it
with a faith that robs it of its terror and extracts from it richest
blessing; from the flinty rock will gush forth living waters, and the
carcase of the lion will furnish the sweetest honey.
This is so even when the suffering is a result of our own folly or sin. It
is intended not only in some measure as a punishment, but also as a teacher,
a corrective, a remedy, a warning; and it will surely work for good if,
instead of repining and vainly regretting the past, we steadily look unto
Jesus and learn our lesson in patience and thankfulness.
If all the skies were sunshine,
our faces would be fain
To feel once more upon them
The cooling splash of rain.
If all the world were music,
Our hearts would often long
For one sweet strain of silence
To break the endless song.
If life were always merry,
Our souls would seek relief
And rest from weary laughter
In the quiet arms of grief.
Doubtless all our suffering is a result of sin, but not necessarily the sin
of the sufferer. Jesus was the sinless One, but He was also the chief of
sufferers. Paul's great and lifelong sufferings came upon him, not because
of his sins, but rather because he had forsaken sin, and was following Jesus
in a world of sin and seeking the salvation of his fellows. In this path
there is no escape from suffering, though there are hidden and unspeakable
consolations. ' In the world ye shall have tribulation,' said Jesus (John
xvi. 33) - 'All that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer
persecution,' wrote Paul (2 Tim. iii. 12).
Sooner or later, suffering in some form comes to each of us. It may come
through broken health, or pain and weariness of body; or through mental
anguish, moral distress, spiritual darkness and uncertainty. It may come
through the loss of loved ones, through betrayal by trusted friends; or
through deferred or ruined hopes, or base ingratitude; or perhaps in
unrequited toil and sacrifice and ambitions all unfulfilled. Nothing more
clearly distinguishes the man filled with the Spirit from the man who is not
than the way each receives suffering.
One with triumphant faith and shining face and strong heart glories in
tribulation, and counts it all joy. To this class belong the apostles, who,
beaten and threatened, ' departed from the presence of the council,
rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer shame for His name' (Acts
v. 4 1) The other with doubts and fears, murmurs and complains, adds to his
other miseries that of a rebellious heart and discontented mind. One sees
the enemy's armed host, and unmixed distress and danger; the other sees the
angel of the Lord, with abundant succour and safety (Ps. xxxiv. 7).
An evangelist of my acquaintance told a story that illustrates this. When a
pastor, he went one morning to visit two sisters who were greatly afflicted.
They were about the same age, and had long been professing Christians and
members of the church. He asked the first one upon whom he called, 'How is
it with you this morning?' ' Oh, I have not slept all night,' she replied. ,
I have so much pain. It is so hard to have to lie here. I cannot see why God
deals so with me.' Evidently she was not filled with the Spirit, but was in
a controversy with the Lord about her sufferings and would not be comforted.
Leaving her he called immediately upon the other sister, and asked, 'How are
you today? ' ' Oh, I had such a night of suffering! ' she replied. Then
there came out upon her worn face a beautiful radiance, and she added, 'But
Jesus was so near and helped me so, that I could suffer this way and more,
if my Father thinks best.' On she went with like words of cheer and triumph
that made the sick room a vestibule of glory. No lack of comfort in her
heart, for the Comforter Himself, the Holy Spirit, had been invited and had
come in. One had the Comforter in fullness, the other had not.
Probably no man ever suffered more than Paul, but with soldier-like
fortitude he bore his heavy burdens, faced his constant and exacting
labours, endured his sore trials, disappointments and bitter persecutions by
fierce and relentless enemies; he stood unmoved amid shipwrecks, stripes and
imprisonments, cold, hunger and homelessness without a whimper that might
suggest repining or discouragement, or an appeal for pity. Indeed, he went
beyond simple uncomplaining fortitude and said, 'we glory in tribulations'
(Rom. v. 3); 'I am exceeding joyful in all our tribulation ' (2 Cor. vii.
4); ' I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in
persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake ' (2 Cor. xii. io). After a
terrible scourging upon his bare back, he was thrust into a loathsome inner
dungeon, his feet fast in the stocks, with worse things probably awaiting
him on the morrow. Nevertheless, we find him and Silas, his companion in
suffering, at midnight praying and singing praises unto God (Acts xvi. 2 5)
What is his secret? Listen to him: ' Because the love of God is shed abroad
in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us ' (Rom. v. 5). His
prayer for his Ephesian brethren had been answered in his own heart: 'That
He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened
with might by His Spirit in the inner man; That Christ may dwell in your
hearts by faith' (Eph. iii. 16, 17). And this inner strength and
consciousness, through faith in an indwelling Christ, enabled him to receive
suffering and trial, not stoically as the Red Indian, nor hilariously, in a
spirit of bravado, but cheerfully and with a thankful heart.
Arnold of Rugby has written something about his most dear and blessed sister
' that illustrates the power flowing from exhaustless fountains of inner joy
and strength through the working of the Holy Spirit. He says:
I never saw a more perfect instance of the spirit and power of love and of a
sound mind. Her life was a daily martyrdom for twenty years, during which
she adhered to her earlyformed resolution of never talking about herself;
she was thoughtful about the very pins and ribands of my wife's dress, about
the making of a doll's cap for a child-but of herself, save only as regarded
her ripening in all goodness, wholly thoughtless, enjoying everything
lovely, graceful, beautiful, high-minded, whether in God's works or man's,
with the keenest relish; inheriting the earth to the very fullness of the
promise, though never leaving her crib, nor changing her posture; and
preserved, through the very valley of the shadow of death, from all fear or
impatience, and from every cloud of impaired reason, which might mar the
beauty of Christ's and the Spirit's work.
It is not by hypnotizing the soul, nor by blessing it into a state of
ecstatic insensibility, that the Lord enables the man filled with the Spirit
thus to triumph over suffering. Rather it is by giving the soul a sweet,
constant and unshaken assurance through faith. First, that it is freely and
fully accepted in Christ. Second, that whatever suffering comes, it is
measured, weighed, permitted by love infinitely tender and guided by wisdom
that cannot err. Third, that however difficult it may be to explain
suffering now, it is nevertheless one of the 'all things ' which ' work
together for good to them that love God ' (Rom. viii. 28), and that in a
'little while' it will not only be swallowed up in the ineffable blessedness
and glory, but that in some way it is actually helping to work out ' a far
more exceeding and eternal weight of glory ' (2 Cor. iv. 17). Fourth, that
though the furnace has been heated seven times hotter than was wont, yet
there is walking with us in the fire One whose' form . . . is like the Son
of God ' (Dan. iii. 25); though triumphant enemies have thrust us into the
lions' den, yet the angel of the Lord arrived first and locked the lions'
jaws; though foes may have formed against us sharp weapons, yet they cannot
prosper, for His shield and buckler defend us; though all things be lost,
yet 'Thou remainest'; and though 'my flesh and my heart faileth . . . God is
the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever (Ps. lxxiii. 26).
Not all God's dear children thus triumph over their difficulties and
sufferings, but this is God's standard, and they may attain unto it if, by
faith, they will open their hearts and ' be filled with the Spirit '.
Here is the testimony of a Salvation Army officer:
Viewed from the outside, my life as a sinner was easy and untroubled, over
which most of my friends expressed envy; while these same friends thought my

Joy of the desolate, light of the straying,

Devotees Who Win, Why Some Fail
First off let us define that a devotee may be a devotee of Rasa, but
ultimately, he is the devotee of God. His relationship with Rasa is a
reflection of the big picture, the one where he and God unite, and
although it may seem to human eyes a man or woman relation to a
minister or shaman, it is a man or woman relating to God; for the Guru
is sent by God, empowered by God, and what the devotee does or does
not do is an absolute and accurate reflection of what he or she does
with God. Make no mistake about this, this is an ironclad doctrine.
If you speak seriously with anyone who knows the Guru/disciple
tradition within Yoga, you will know this is truth.
The Devotee and his Fetish
I can give you an example. A former associate of mine who was de
facto devotee although he never humbled himself to say it, was rescued
from a terrible relationship. When he recovered he was told not to
return to this woman. This man was struggled with and counseled much,
and never gave any donation although he had inherited money, which the
Guru prayed he would get. Meanwhile, he started going to the Catholic
Church again, and congratulated himself that he was right with God.
The plot thickens. Now recovered due to help from Guru, he has in a
few months spent his inheritance, and now, he says to save money,
moves in with the lady of the bad relationship. He, at least,
temporarily, is doomed. The Guru will not even speak with him as he
has committed great sin against HIMSELF. The delusion that he was
right with God for going to Church did not fool the Guru - because the
Church did not discipline him, or forbid him to do wrong. The Church
is a building which does not hold him accountable for his actions, he
can hide himself while sitting there, but the Guru saw what he was
doing, and as Jesus said,
`Whose sins you forgive shall be forgiven, whose sins you retain will
be retained.
This man is now under judgment from God.
I have learned one thing for sure that is the primary reasons
spiritual souls fail. In fact, I can think of no other, and that is
THE WORLD AND THE FLESH. The world and the flesh are not evil in
themselves, but yet, why then would being in this spirit, without
being born again, guarantee the destruction of the soul? Indeed, it
is a fact, that one who remains in the spirit of the world and the
flesh will be trapped there, and at the end of their life, they will
see they are trapped and the fires of hell will raise up around them.
Be aware that the world and the flesh is the stomping ground
and the deployment area of Satan. Although Satan roams
the world everywhere, and does target the holy and just as much or
even more so than the worldly, he has great power in the world and the
flesh, and less power with those who are in the Spirit of God.
When the devil wants to destroy, waylay or drag into sin a holy soul,
he does so in stages, by dragging them into the world and the flesh.
You could be saved and born again, and if you stand on your baptismal
graces, and hold onto the armor of God, he cannot touch you. But if
he pulls you away from God by getting your mind off God and onto the
cares, concerns and pleasures of the world, including most of all,
relationships of the world and the flesh, the next thing that happens
is a veil or cloak of darkness can be put upon you. When your mind
sinks down, it leaves the arena of grace which was given you, and now,
you enter into another spirit, which does not seem mean or cruel at
first, but benign. However, after a while, you will see there is
death in this spirit, as it is temporal, and by associating with this
lower spirit, not of grace, you will be spinning your wheels, make a
treadmill of your time, and go around in circles seeking to satisfy an
ever-hungry need. Welcome to three fourths of this planet! Welcome
to the emptiness and frustration of the dog-eat dog, rat race, where
the biggest dogs and the biggest rats consume everyone else and keep
them quaking in their corners. You left God for this?
And so, in the world, Satan has some sway over you. He has taken down
big Generals of God here, ordinary people are no problem. I will cite
a great Guru, known to millions, who did fantastic things in the
world. He saved and enlightened many, and he himself was enlightened.
But Satan took him, at the end of his life, into the flesh. He then,
at the height of his success, began to have sex with his devotees
(while preaching celibacy all his life!), all of whom were young
girls, even teens, while he was in his seventies. I am not sure when
his abuses started, if they started earlier, but there are numerous
records of his escapades on a certain internet site, which was read to
me. If such a great man can be fooled, then this says to us, that we
are all susceptible and must struggle day and night, night and day, to
stay clean and pure of the desires of the world and flesh.
The fall down point does not have to be sex. Faith healer A. A.
Allen, the miracle worker, died of alcoholism in the middle of
successful ministry. Another of God's Generals, Aimee Semple
McPherson, became so lonely after a nervous breakdown she married a
whoremaster, then had to pay big money to the women who sued him for
`breach of contract.' Later on, Aimee died of an accidental overdose
of sleeping pills. This was one of the best evangelists and the
greatest faith healer who ever lived - she did not have to end this
way at age 52! By no means am I saying Aimee was in sin, but I am
saying that she fell down to mortal weakness at the end of her life.
A Divided Mind, Divided Loyalty
I have devotees who want to maintain relationships with women of the
flesh and also want to stay in touch with my enemies by belonging to
their groups. In the first place, this is dangerous, and in the
second, it shows they are interested in these other people, who they
should renounce and forget. Why associate with the enemies of
MotherGod and concern yourself with what they are doing? All devotees
should leave groups who have attacked the MotherGod Church and Rasa,
it would seem only logical, and yet some have these divided loyalties,
which is the same as having divided loyalties to God.
If I love God, will I hold membership in the `atheists against God'
fellowship?
And if you say,
`They are really a bunch of nice guys, I am getting a lot out of them,'
Then you are fooling yourself.
A devotee said to me, that when I was dating, a long time ago, I had
my fun, and he, the devotee, has not had much of a chance toward fun
and so it is hard for him to renounce such relationships.
I gave a long sigh. Did Anna Nicole Smith have fun? If she did, she
would not have been so bombed out on drugs that she finally killed
herself at the peak of her life. If sex was fun, why wasn't she
bubbling with joy, but she was medicating herself against pain.
SEX WITHOUT LOVE IS NOT FUN! This is what the world and the flesh,
give, an endless repetition of the sex act is not satisfying, it is an
illusion of happiness, a deceit, and it leads to nothing but emptiness
and desolation. Errol Flynn had a lot of `fun' and yet, when I
received him as client in Purgatory, he was at the end of his term of
over twenty two years - the longest stretch in jail of anyone, until I
ministered to my own mother, who spent over twenty four. People
always think sex is fun, until they suffer the broken heart and the
desolation, a result of sex when love is not there. Sex for spiritual
souls is one of the biggest traps; two saints I know of jumped into
thorn bushes to cure themselves of lust, knowing full well the evil of
this desire. Sex is not fun, it is a drug, an addiction! I cannot
explain it any other way, unless there is real love there, and true
feelings - which is usually not the case 99% of the time! The most
common danger, I would say, to holy souls, is lust and relationships
not of God.
The Devotee and the Predator
One of my devotees was had when a wolf entered the sheepfold and
ravaged him. Things did not go well, the wolf wanted to use him for
her purposes, and she did, and twice, she hurt him terribly.
I warned my devotee copiously, but he only would listen for a time
while he was recovering from ravage, then he would fall for her again.
I knew that my patience was needed, that I would not give up and keep
the devotee in my heart even when he strayed, for he was a lost sheep
who had got tangled in a thorn bush, and he did it twice. But would
he learn after the second time to stay away from thorn bushes, and to
stay with the flock and not wander off where he thought the grass was
greener?
The problem is that those in the spirit of the world and the flesh
know that they must entice the devotee into that same spirit. They
talk to the devotee about the things of the world and flesh, they lure
him in like a spider with the web, - did you know that spider webs are
stronger than steel and sticky as glue? The predator works on
emotions, whichever ones work. You get sucked in by con artists -
they put on a good show and their true motives are not evident. I
heard of one young Frenchman who was a liar, cheat and thief, who had
conned people out of 40 million dollars while still in his middle age,
and he had no regrets. He said those whom he robbed had it coming.
Underneath this suave and charming fellow was hidden a hate and a
destruction of the devil, the hate was well hidden, and he charmed
many famous movie stars! It was all on a TV documentary. `This is
hate' I thought. Yes, he hated these people because he himself was
left in an orphanage in France after his mother died and his father
did not want him. He saw happy and wealthy people all around, while
he was rejected and poor. Here were the seeds of envy and hate. How
did he con these people? His personality and convincing everyone he
was a Rockefeller, signing into the luxury suites of the best hotels,
where he never paid the bills. I assume he convinced these people
that when they forked over their money he would double or triple it
for them - he played on their avarice or greed, and since he gave the
impression of being filthy rich, suave and charming, you know the rest.
A predator is like a python. You feel the touch of the predator on
your body, and you don't know it's a python. You think,
`Someone likes me, it feels good to be touched.'
The python slithers around and around you, and you smile.
`She needs me'
You think. Yes, she needs you for food. Now she begins the
stranglehold, tighter and tighter. You begin to hurt. Why are you
hurting? Because now the true nature of the python is made known, she
likes you for prey and needs you for food. Soon, she will choke the
life out of you and then swallow you whole, and in the end, she will
shit you out of her anus. You will be nothing but shit.
When I say chokes the life out of you and swallows you whole, I am
speaking spiritually and allegorically. She will consume your grace,
your light, and your happiness, she will separate you from God. And
when she has got what she wanted out of you, you will be worthless
like shit, without grace, and since she does not really like or love
you, she will discard you like crap. People of the world and flesh
have no conscience, they do what is expedient - desperate people do
desperate things. They consume one another, whoever can con the other
out of something. The world is made that way, beware of the world and
the flesh!
I could go on and on with stories of devotees who failed or are
ineffective for the Church, and 99% of the time, the world and flesh
lures them away, or makes their loyalty divided so they are halfway,
and lukewarm for God.
Most Successful Devotees
Two of the recent devotees, Nicolas and Michael, have been most
successful, and examine why.
Both were willing to practice celibacy, which means renunciation of
the flesh. Nicolas has practiced celibacy for a time and prays all
night every night to an altar where Mary and Rasa preside. He has
broken all records for number of visions, about forty or more visions
in two months.
Michael has distinguished himself also, by following the same program.
He voluntarily gave up his girlfriend, and is even thinking of moving
from his present quarters and changing his job. He is doing this not
for Rasa personally, but for the good of his own soul. Do everything
for your own soul, Rasa does not need your celibacy, changing your
home or job, IT IS YOU WHO NEEDS IT!
What GuruRasa is is this. It's like the silverback gorilla who knows
where all the vegetation and fruits are, the danger areas, good places
to sleep. She leads you here and there and protects you against
predators. A sat guru like Rasa has been through the trials you are
facing, and got over the hurdles. She climbed out of the pits - she
has experience. She also dedicated herself to God and made all the
renunciation/sacrifices that were needed, and she received the grace
of God. All she is doing is guiding you, as well as transmitting to
you the Power that she has that God has given her. It is not for
Rasa, but for you that she is guiding you, so you will reach the end
of your spiritual journey.
It so happens that part of the way of reaching that journey is through
charity. Charity is wholly opposite than helping a predator or a con
man! The predator/ con man CONSUMES you, eats you up and shits you
out. The con is you will get a physical reward for forking up to the
con artist, the desired reward is temporal. But when you give in
charity, it is because you love and trust God. You believe that God
who knows you and loves you will give you spiritual as well as earthly
rewards, with the spiritual being the main thing. You do works of
charity because you know God sees you and what you are doing, and God
is fair, and sooner or later, somehow, God will reward your charity.
The best of disciples is willing to wait as long as it takes to be
rewarded, even if it at the end of this life, when he receives
Heavenly rewards, he does not have to have a guarantee of return on
the dollar. Only the most sincere and holy souls give in this manner,
the ones who are totally renounced.
And as I said, service to the Guru and the Church is service to God,
which is rewarded, and the devotee does it for the good of his own
soul. The Guru went through all these steps herself.
The devotee who is succeeding is the one who gets to a point where he
or she can
1 Give undivided loyalty to Guru/God, renouncing all the things that
separate him/herself from God.
2 Prays faithfully for long periods of time to God/Guru
3 Serves God/Guru in ways of charity, by helping in whatever way is
possible
An example of failed devotee is Bogdan. Bogdan complained about
having to write a monthly letter to the Guru, as the postage stamp was
too expensive, even if he did not have to send the dollar. He has
been sending letters of love to Rasa for two years. Rasa sensed that
he was not willing to give at all, this was just an excuse, and so she
made a new rule. Those who cannot write a letter or send a dollar can
do the following service. Join ten groups a month and post Rasa
articles on them. Bogdan has not been heard from since.
Most devotees just disappear. Is it a loss to Rasa? Hardly, although
it does not make her happy, of course, because of the loss to God -
Rasa wants souls to reach God. But if one chooses not to find God, it
is his loss primarily, not Rasa's. Do you want God or not? Rasa is
your tool, if you choose not to make use of this tool, it is your free
will. The work of God and the Church of Rasa move on, and God informs
us not to grieve once a soul has been lost to Hell. You do all you
can to stop them, but once they have made up their choice, and end up
there, you do not grieve over them, you simply try and stop others
from going there.
And now, since we are talking about Hell, here is the beginning of a
good sermon by Edward Roberts about it. This is what happens to the
enemies of God, in case you didn't know:
Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God
Jonathan Edwards (1703-1758)
Enfield, Connecticut...July 8, 1741
Their foot shall slide in due time. Deuteronomy 32:35
(Excerpt)
There is no want of power in God to cast wicked men into hell at any
moment. Men's hands cannot be strong when God rises up. The strongest
have no power to resist him, nor can any deliver out of his hands. --
He is not only able to cast wicked men into hell, but he can most
easily do it. Sometimes an earthly prince meets with a great deal of
difficulty to subdue a rebel, who has found means to fortify himself,
and has made himself strong by the numbers of his followers. But it is
not so with God. There is no fortress that is any defence from the
power of God. Though hand join in hand, and vast multitudes of God's
enemies combine and associate themselves, they are easily broken in
pieces. They are as great heaps of light chaff before the whirlwind;
or large quantities of dry stubble before devouring flames. We find it
easy to tread on and crush a worm that we see crawling on the earth;
so it is easy for us to cut or singe a slender thread that any thing
hangs by: thus easy is it for God, when he pleases, to cast his
enemies down to hell. What are we, that we should think to stand
before him, at whose rebuke the earth trembles, and before whom the
rocks are thrown down?
They deserve to be cast into hell; so that divine justice never stands
in the way, it makes no objection against God's using his power at any
moment to destroy them. Yea, on the contrary, justice calls aloud for
an infinite punishment of their sins. Divine justice says of the tree
that brings forth such grapes of Sodom, "Cut it down, why cumbereth it
the ground?" Luke 13:7. The sword of divine justice is every moment
brandished over their heads, and it is nothing but the hand of
arbitrary mercy, and God's mere will, that holds it back.
They are already under a sentence of condemnation to hell. They do not
only justly deserve to be cast down thither, but the sentence of the
law of God, that eternal and immutable rule of righteousness that God
has fixed between him and mankind, is gone out against them, and
stands against them; so that they are bound over already to hell. John
3:18. "He that believeth not is condemned already." So that every
unconverted man properly belongs to hell; that is his place; from
thence he is, John 8:23. "Ye are from beneath:" And thither he is
bound; it is the place that justice, and God's word, and the sentence
of his unchangeable law assign to him.
They are now the objects of that very same anger and wrath of God,
that is expressed in the torments of hell. And the reason why they do
not go down to hell at each moment, is not because God, in whose power
they are, is not then very angry with them; as he is with many
miserable creatures now tormented in hell, who there feel and bear the
fierceness of his wrath. Yea, God is a great deal more angry with
great numbers that are now on earth: yea, doubtless, with many that
are now in this congregation, who it may be are at ease, than he is
with many of those who are now in the flames of hell.
So that it is not because God is unmindful of their wickedness, and
does not resent it, that he does not let loose his hand and cut them
off. God is not altogether such an one as themselves, though they may
imagine him to be so. The wrath of God burns against them, their
damnation does not slumber; the pit is prepared, the fire is made
ready, the furnace is now hot, ready to receive them; the flames do
now rage and glow. The glittering sword is whet, and held over them,
and the pit hath opened its mouth under them.
The devil stands ready to fall upon them, and seize them as his own,
at what moment God shall permit him. They belong to him; he has their
souls in his possession, and under his dominion. The scripture
represents them as his goods, Luke 11:12. The devils watch them; they
are ever by them at their right hand; they stand waiting for them,
like greedy hungry lions that see their prey, and expect to have it,
but are for the present kept back. If God should withdraw his hand, by
which they are restrained, they would in one moment fly upon their
poor souls. The old serpent is gaping for them; hell opens its mouth
wide to receive them; and if God should permit it, they would be
hastily swallowed up and lost.
There are in the souls of wicked men those hellish principles
reigning, that would presently kindle and flame out into hell fire, if
it were not for God's restraints. There is laid in the very nature of
carnal men, a foundation for the torments of hell. There are those
corrupt principles, in reigning power in them, and in full possession
of them, that are seeds of hell fire. These principles are active and
powerful, exceeding violent in their nature, and if it were not for
the restraining hand of God upon them, they would soon break out, they
would flame out after the same manner as the same corruptions, the
same enmity does in the hearts of damned souls, and would beget the
same torments as they do in them. The souls of the wicked are in
scripture compared to the troubled sea, Isa. 57:20. For the present,
God restrains their wickedness by his mighty power, as he does the
raging waves of the troubled sea, saying, "Hitherto shalt thou come,
but no further;" but if God should withdraw that restraining power, it
would soon carry all before it. Sin is the ruin and misery of the
soul; it is destructive in its nature; and if God should leave it
without restraint, there would need nothing else to make the soul
perfectly miserable. The corruption of the heart of man is immoderate
and boundless in its fury; and while wicked men live here, it is like
fire pent up by God's restraints, whereas if it were let loose, it
would set on fire the course of nature; and as the heart is now a sink
of sin, so if sin was not restrained, it would immediately turn the
soul into fiery oven, or a furnace of fire and brimstone.
It is no security to wicked men for one moment, that there are no
visible means of death at hand. It is no security to a natural man,
that he is now in health, and that he does not see which way he should
now immediately go out of the world by any accident, and that there is
no visible danger in any respect in his circumstances. The manifold
and continual experience of the world in all ages, shows this is no
evidence, that a man is not on the very brink of eternity, and that
the next step will not be into another world. The unseen, unthought-of
ways and means of persons going suddenly out of the world are
innumerable and inconceivable. Unconverted men walk over the pit of
hell on a rotten covering, and there are innumerable places in this
covering so weak that they will not bear their weight, and these
places are not seen. The arrows of death fly unseen at noon-day; the
sharpest sight cannot discern them. God has so many different
unsearchable ways of taking wicked men out of the world and sending
them to hell, that there is nothing to make it appear, that God had
need to be at the expense of a miracle, or go out of the ordinary
course of his providence, to destroy any wicked man, at any moment.
All the means that there are of sinners going out of the world, are so
in God's hands, and so universally and absolutely subject to his power
and determination, that it does not depend at all the less on the mere
will of God, whether sinners shall at any moment go to hell, than if
means were never made use of, or at all concerned in the case.
Natural men's prudence and care to preserve their own lives, or the
care of others to preserve them, do not secure them a moment. To this,
divine providence and universal experience do also bear testimony.
There is this clear evidence that men's own wisdom is no security to
them from death; that if it were otherwise we should see some
difference between the wise and politic men of the world, and others,
with regard to their liableness to early and unexpected death: but how
is it in fact? Eccles. 2:16. "How dieth the wise man? even as the fool."
ultimately, he is the devotee of God. His relationship with Rasa is a
reflection of the big picture, the one where he and God unite, and
although it may seem to human eyes a man or woman relation to a
minister or shaman, it is a man or woman relating to God; for the Guru
is sent by God, empowered by God, and what the devotee does or does
not do is an absolute and accurate reflection of what he or she does
with God. Make no mistake about this, this is an ironclad doctrine.
If you speak seriously with anyone who knows the Guru/disciple
tradition within Yoga, you will know this is truth.
The Devotee and his Fetish
I can give you an example. A former associate of mine who was de
facto devotee although he never humbled himself to say it, was rescued
from a terrible relationship. When he recovered he was told not to
return to this woman. This man was struggled with and counseled much,
and never gave any donation although he had inherited money, which the
Guru prayed he would get. Meanwhile, he started going to the Catholic
Church again, and congratulated himself that he was right with God.
The plot thickens. Now recovered due to help from Guru, he has in a
few months spent his inheritance, and now, he says to save money,
moves in with the lady of the bad relationship. He, at least,
temporarily, is doomed. The Guru will not even speak with him as he
has committed great sin against HIMSELF. The delusion that he was
right with God for going to Church did not fool the Guru - because the
Church did not discipline him, or forbid him to do wrong. The Church
is a building which does not hold him accountable for his actions, he
can hide himself while sitting there, but the Guru saw what he was
doing, and as Jesus said,
`Whose sins you forgive shall be forgiven, whose sins you retain will
be retained.
This man is now under judgment from God.
I have learned one thing for sure that is the primary reasons
spiritual souls fail. In fact, I can think of no other, and that is
THE WORLD AND THE FLESH. The world and the flesh are not evil in
themselves, but yet, why then would being in this spirit, without
being born again, guarantee the destruction of the soul? Indeed, it
is a fact, that one who remains in the spirit of the world and the
flesh will be trapped there, and at the end of their life, they will
see they are trapped and the fires of hell will raise up around them.
Be aware that the world and the flesh is the stomping ground
and the deployment area of Satan. Although Satan roams
the world everywhere, and does target the holy and just as much or
even more so than the worldly, he has great power in the world and the
flesh, and less power with those who are in the Spirit of God.
When the devil wants to destroy, waylay or drag into sin a holy soul,
he does so in stages, by dragging them into the world and the flesh.
You could be saved and born again, and if you stand on your baptismal
graces, and hold onto the armor of God, he cannot touch you. But if
he pulls you away from God by getting your mind off God and onto the
cares, concerns and pleasures of the world, including most of all,
relationships of the world and the flesh, the next thing that happens
is a veil or cloak of darkness can be put upon you. When your mind
sinks down, it leaves the arena of grace which was given you, and now,
you enter into another spirit, which does not seem mean or cruel at
first, but benign. However, after a while, you will see there is
death in this spirit, as it is temporal, and by associating with this
lower spirit, not of grace, you will be spinning your wheels, make a
treadmill of your time, and go around in circles seeking to satisfy an
ever-hungry need. Welcome to three fourths of this planet! Welcome
to the emptiness and frustration of the dog-eat dog, rat race, where
the biggest dogs and the biggest rats consume everyone else and keep
them quaking in their corners. You left God for this?
And so, in the world, Satan has some sway over you. He has taken down
big Generals of God here, ordinary people are no problem. I will cite
a great Guru, known to millions, who did fantastic things in the
world. He saved and enlightened many, and he himself was enlightened.
But Satan took him, at the end of his life, into the flesh. He then,
at the height of his success, began to have sex with his devotees
(while preaching celibacy all his life!), all of whom were young
girls, even teens, while he was in his seventies. I am not sure when
his abuses started, if they started earlier, but there are numerous
records of his escapades on a certain internet site, which was read to
me. If such a great man can be fooled, then this says to us, that we
are all susceptible and must struggle day and night, night and day, to
stay clean and pure of the desires of the world and flesh.
The fall down point does not have to be sex. Faith healer A. A.
Allen, the miracle worker, died of alcoholism in the middle of
successful ministry. Another of God's Generals, Aimee Semple
McPherson, became so lonely after a nervous breakdown she married a
whoremaster, then had to pay big money to the women who sued him for
`breach of contract.' Later on, Aimee died of an accidental overdose
of sleeping pills. This was one of the best evangelists and the
greatest faith healer who ever lived - she did not have to end this
way at age 52! By no means am I saying Aimee was in sin, but I am
saying that she fell down to mortal weakness at the end of her life.
A Divided Mind, Divided Loyalty
I have devotees who want to maintain relationships with women of the
flesh and also want to stay in touch with my enemies by belonging to
their groups. In the first place, this is dangerous, and in the
second, it shows they are interested in these other people, who they
should renounce and forget. Why associate with the enemies of
MotherGod and concern yourself with what they are doing? All devotees
should leave groups who have attacked the MotherGod Church and Rasa,
it would seem only logical, and yet some have these divided loyalties,
which is the same as having divided loyalties to God.
If I love God, will I hold membership in the `atheists against God'
fellowship?
And if you say,
`They are really a bunch of nice guys, I am getting a lot out of them,'
Then you are fooling yourself.
A devotee said to me, that when I was dating, a long time ago, I had
my fun, and he, the devotee, has not had much of a chance toward fun
and so it is hard for him to renounce such relationships.
I gave a long sigh. Did Anna Nicole Smith have fun? If she did, she
would not have been so bombed out on drugs that she finally killed
herself at the peak of her life. If sex was fun, why wasn't she
bubbling with joy, but she was medicating herself against pain.
SEX WITHOUT LOVE IS NOT FUN! This is what the world and the flesh,
give, an endless repetition of the sex act is not satisfying, it is an
illusion of happiness, a deceit, and it leads to nothing but emptiness
and desolation. Errol Flynn had a lot of `fun' and yet, when I
received him as client in Purgatory, he was at the end of his term of
over twenty two years - the longest stretch in jail of anyone, until I
ministered to my own mother, who spent over twenty four. People
always think sex is fun, until they suffer the broken heart and the
desolation, a result of sex when love is not there. Sex for spiritual
souls is one of the biggest traps; two saints I know of jumped into
thorn bushes to cure themselves of lust, knowing full well the evil of
this desire. Sex is not fun, it is a drug, an addiction! I cannot
explain it any other way, unless there is real love there, and true
feelings - which is usually not the case 99% of the time! The most
common danger, I would say, to holy souls, is lust and relationships
not of God.
The Devotee and the Predator
One of my devotees was had when a wolf entered the sheepfold and
ravaged him. Things did not go well, the wolf wanted to use him for
her purposes, and she did, and twice, she hurt him terribly.
I warned my devotee copiously, but he only would listen for a time
while he was recovering from ravage, then he would fall for her again.
I knew that my patience was needed, that I would not give up and keep
the devotee in my heart even when he strayed, for he was a lost sheep
who had got tangled in a thorn bush, and he did it twice. But would
he learn after the second time to stay away from thorn bushes, and to
stay with the flock and not wander off where he thought the grass was
greener?
The problem is that those in the spirit of the world and the flesh
know that they must entice the devotee into that same spirit. They
talk to the devotee about the things of the world and flesh, they lure
him in like a spider with the web, - did you know that spider webs are
stronger than steel and sticky as glue? The predator works on
emotions, whichever ones work. You get sucked in by con artists -
they put on a good show and their true motives are not evident. I
heard of one young Frenchman who was a liar, cheat and thief, who had
conned people out of 40 million dollars while still in his middle age,
and he had no regrets. He said those whom he robbed had it coming.
Underneath this suave and charming fellow was hidden a hate and a
destruction of the devil, the hate was well hidden, and he charmed
many famous movie stars! It was all on a TV documentary. `This is
hate' I thought. Yes, he hated these people because he himself was
left in an orphanage in France after his mother died and his father
did not want him. He saw happy and wealthy people all around, while
he was rejected and poor. Here were the seeds of envy and hate. How
did he con these people? His personality and convincing everyone he
was a Rockefeller, signing into the luxury suites of the best hotels,
where he never paid the bills. I assume he convinced these people
that when they forked over their money he would double or triple it
for them - he played on their avarice or greed, and since he gave the
impression of being filthy rich, suave and charming, you know the rest.
A predator is like a python. You feel the touch of the predator on
your body, and you don't know it's a python. You think,
`Someone likes me, it feels good to be touched.'
The python slithers around and around you, and you smile.
`She needs me'
You think. Yes, she needs you for food. Now she begins the
stranglehold, tighter and tighter. You begin to hurt. Why are you
hurting? Because now the true nature of the python is made known, she
likes you for prey and needs you for food. Soon, she will choke the
life out of you and then swallow you whole, and in the end, she will
shit you out of her anus. You will be nothing but shit.
When I say chokes the life out of you and swallows you whole, I am
speaking spiritually and allegorically. She will consume your grace,
your light, and your happiness, she will separate you from God. And
when she has got what she wanted out of you, you will be worthless
like shit, without grace, and since she does not really like or love
you, she will discard you like crap. People of the world and flesh
have no conscience, they do what is expedient - desperate people do
desperate things. They consume one another, whoever can con the other
out of something. The world is made that way, beware of the world and
the flesh!
I could go on and on with stories of devotees who failed or are
ineffective for the Church, and 99% of the time, the world and flesh
lures them away, or makes their loyalty divided so they are halfway,
and lukewarm for God.
Most Successful Devotees
Two of the recent devotees, Nicolas and Michael, have been most
successful, and examine why.
Both were willing to practice celibacy, which means renunciation of
the flesh. Nicolas has practiced celibacy for a time and prays all
night every night to an altar where Mary and Rasa preside. He has
broken all records for number of visions, about forty or more visions
in two months.
Michael has distinguished himself also, by following the same program.
He voluntarily gave up his girlfriend, and is even thinking of moving
from his present quarters and changing his job. He is doing this not
for Rasa personally, but for the good of his own soul. Do everything
for your own soul, Rasa does not need your celibacy, changing your
home or job, IT IS YOU WHO NEEDS IT!
What GuruRasa is is this. It's like the silverback gorilla who knows
where all the vegetation and fruits are, the danger areas, good places
to sleep. She leads you here and there and protects you against
predators. A sat guru like Rasa has been through the trials you are
facing, and got over the hurdles. She climbed out of the pits - she
has experience. She also dedicated herself to God and made all the
renunciation/sacrifices that were needed, and she received the grace
of God. All she is doing is guiding you, as well as transmitting to
you the Power that she has that God has given her. It is not for
Rasa, but for you that she is guiding you, so you will reach the end
of your spiritual journey.
It so happens that part of the way of reaching that journey is through
charity. Charity is wholly opposite than helping a predator or a con
man! The predator/ con man CONSUMES you, eats you up and shits you
out. The con is you will get a physical reward for forking up to the
con artist, the desired reward is temporal. But when you give in
charity, it is because you love and trust God. You believe that God
who knows you and loves you will give you spiritual as well as earthly
rewards, with the spiritual being the main thing. You do works of
charity because you know God sees you and what you are doing, and God
is fair, and sooner or later, somehow, God will reward your charity.
The best of disciples is willing to wait as long as it takes to be
rewarded, even if it at the end of this life, when he receives
Heavenly rewards, he does not have to have a guarantee of return on
the dollar. Only the most sincere and holy souls give in this manner,
the ones who are totally renounced.
And as I said, service to the Guru and the Church is service to God,
which is rewarded, and the devotee does it for the good of his own
soul. The Guru went through all these steps herself.
The devotee who is succeeding is the one who gets to a point where he
or she can
1 Give undivided loyalty to Guru/God, renouncing all the things that
separate him/herself from God.
2 Prays faithfully for long periods of time to God/Guru
3 Serves God/Guru in ways of charity, by helping in whatever way is
possible
An example of failed devotee is Bogdan. Bogdan complained about
having to write a monthly letter to the Guru, as the postage stamp was
too expensive, even if he did not have to send the dollar. He has
been sending letters of love to Rasa for two years. Rasa sensed that
he was not willing to give at all, this was just an excuse, and so she
made a new rule. Those who cannot write a letter or send a dollar can
do the following service. Join ten groups a month and post Rasa
articles on them. Bogdan has not been heard from since.
Most devotees just disappear. Is it a loss to Rasa? Hardly, although
it does not make her happy, of course, because of the loss to God -
Rasa wants souls to reach God. But if one chooses not to find God, it
is his loss primarily, not Rasa's. Do you want God or not? Rasa is
your tool, if you choose not to make use of this tool, it is your free
will. The work of God and the Church of Rasa move on, and God informs
us not to grieve once a soul has been lost to Hell. You do all you
can to stop them, but once they have made up their choice, and end up
there, you do not grieve over them, you simply try and stop others
from going there.
And now, since we are talking about Hell, here is the beginning of a
good sermon by Edward Roberts about it. This is what happens to the

Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God

visible means of death at hand. It is no security to a natural man,
that he is now in health, and that he does not see which way he should
now immediately go out of the world by any accident, and that there is
no visible danger in any respect in his circumstances. The manifold
and continual experience of the world in all ages, shows this is no
evidence, that a man is not on the very brink of eternity, and that
the next step will not be into another world. The unseen, unthought-of
ways and means of persons going suddenly out of the world are
innumerable and inconceivable. Unconverted men walk over the pit of
hell on a rotten covering, and there are innumerable places in this
covering so weak that they will not bear their weight, and these
places are not seen. The arrows of death fly unseen at noon-day; the
sharpest sight cannot discern them. God has so many different
unsearchable ways of taking wicked men out of the world and sending
them to hell, that there is nothing to make it appear, that God had
need to be at the expense of a miracle, or go out of the ordinary
course of his providence, to destroy any wicked man, at any moment.
All the means that there are of sinners going out of the world, are so
in God's hands, and so universally and absolutely subject to his power
and determination, that it does not depend at all the less on the mere
will of God, whether sinners shall at any moment go to hell, than if
means were never made use of, or at all concerned in the case.
Natural men's prudence and care to preserve their own lives, or the
care of others to preserve them, do not secure them a moment. To this,
divine providence and universal experience do also bear testimony.
There is this clear evidence that men's own wisdom is no security to
them from death; that if it were otherwise we should see some
difference between the wise and politic men of the world, and others,
with regard to their liableness to early and unexpected death: but how
is it in fact? Eccles. 2:16. "How dieth the wise man? even as the fool."
