The essential...

An Era of Light requires inner enlightenment, transparency like a clean window, genuineness in being and wanting

I do not recall now, who is the author of the thought above. The fact is that it applies throughout time. It is a result of the action and teachings of many inspired and enlightened beings that descended to this orb like radiant torches. They are eternal sources of light, and spread their healing light amid the still existing turmoil in this world! Moreover, this thought implies that religion itself does not matter neither do their names, of hundreds of them throughout history. This has no importance at all, because these religions were not capable of allowing their best essence to enter and stay in their right place, where they were supposed to be: the inner self of man!

Therefore, the name of the author who wrote this thought does not matter too. Most probably, and this is what really matters, is that it means that the Truth among the truths was fully experienced by humanity, and our planet was already a place among those of spiritual joy within the evolutionary spheres! 

When the right time arrives, then the truth is revealed

This is a fact - regardless of belief or disbelief! You can be whatever you want: a Buddhist, Muslim, Catholic or Spiritist, Atheist or a scholar of the Kabbalah, associated to noble ranks of the White Brotherhood, it really does not matter!

If you still twist your nose to your neighbor because he has a different opinion, if you avoid his contact as if to prevent something contagious and of unpleasant odor, if in your working environment, where several lines of thoughts and experiences of life are side by side with you, you are, even if only inwardly, condescending or arrogant when faced with an attitude that you consider inferior, if you cannot see the essence beyond good and expensive clothes, studied oratory, social skills in any place including temples, spiritist centers, or churches, well then it is no use. You can spend the rest of your temporary existence in materiality, repeating like a broken record, that you are already enlightened, or accepting dangerous compliments, which induce you to vanity, with a false little smile of modesty! When the time comes of the wheat and the weed to which we are subject to when we return to our origin, you will then find nothing else except the company of those that you deserve, not more and not less.

Religiosity is what is essential

So...give up! There will be no band or symphony orchestra playing in your honor because you were more or less rich, or lived in a privileged neighborhood somewhere in this planet, or occupied important positions, or because you pretended a kindness with lots of fuss when designing social work in large projects, although aiming at, behind the scenes, the exaltation of your own ego! As an example, the beggar did more qualitatively. His photo was on Facebook, a few weeks ago. He covered with his only blanket his stray dog in a harsh winter. There he was on the sidewalk, and explaining - to someone who asked him the reason for doing so - that the animal also feels cold, the dog is his friend and that it is his responsibility to protect it!

The essence of religion. Religiosity, intrinsic to each way of being, seeing, thinking and conducting, however small it may be, considering everything that surrounds us - is the inexorable divisor, my friends! And not just blah blah! blah!

We live in a time when everything is looked at under the light of unforgiving strong spotlights, revealing every detail of life inside and outside of us! There is an overload of information in increasingly small appliances, and a great amount of simultaneous actions of millions of people around the globe, rigorously revealing each essence! This is a time when everything is spoken, everything is discussed; much is dissimulated, and almost everything unfolds based on the individual free will, so that, under the empire of contradictory appearances, it is up to each to make their choice, experiencing their own line! And the results appear, sooner or later, based on this spontaneous election and form larger or smaller groups who reap inevitable experiences in a fair repercussion of their own guidelines! 

No one, with few exceptions, can say "I did not know"

Yes, it seems that the Law of Cause and Effect is being applied in our present lives, while still embodied. No one can say "I did not know", except in rare situations. No one must expect that the effect, the consequence of our acts will only appear in the future, in other reincarnations or after disembodiment, because everything is happening faster and still in our present lives, and even time itself has strangely become faster! As we can see, this is a time when essence prevails over the superficial layers of the transitional being. However, this being in a battle of egos still strives to keep this world under the control of an illusory empire, which is already crumbling and leading to a visible chaos in every corner of this Earth.

As a clear symptom, many of us are feeling exhausted. We are full of this monumental secular dissimulation! Many souls cry out to breathe in their own habitat! Our spirits yearn for harmony, reject false appearances, and they guide us to more authentic experiences, more akin to the genuine level reached. at this point of the path!

Simple as that - who is pleased in an environment of light and sun, looks for the calm countryside or for warm beaches swept by the waves. Who feels pleasure with fleeting passions, looks for dark environments, for illusions, and their degree of enlightenment in this world will be duly evaluated, sooner, or later. 

What we need is our inner enlightenment and transparency like a clean, transparent window

Enough hypocrisy! An Era of Light requires inner enlightenment, transparency like a clean window, genuineness in being and wanting! Enough of the false virtues limited to the social veneer of our vocabulary and false gestures, pretending to be full of alleged truths!

As we were taught by San Francisco, one day at a time, each minute lived with authenticity with those who are next to us on a daily basis, is like a mirror that faithfully reflects our image, our essence, more or less dusty by obsolete values, which need an urgent renovation, more or less luminous in consequence of our real spiritual achievements, not the alleged ones, but the silent ones, the truth of which is known, above all and everything, by God and our Higher Self!

Let us stop with our lack of vigilance in praising things and beings who call themselves indicators of the Enlightened Wisdom of the Masters, whatever their origin may be. If you submit them to a more accurate analysis, you will see that they lack what the real Beings have and that is the most important factor: to live in simplicity. If you notice, they sill judge and select based on vanity. They accuse, belittle, and point out, keep at a distance, judge, and proclaim themselves to live within an exclusive and pretense club of remarkable spirits, claiming to be the elected to superior doctrines. However, they are still not capable of understanding the need of love and compassion for an animal left in empty streets suffering severe cold.
