Maitreya Comes With the Spiritual Order of Portugal
by Maria Ferreira da Silva
in 07 Jun 2006
 (...previous) When we are imbued by the Light of the Holy Ghost, there is a permanent fusion of our consciousness in Divinity, allowing the expansion of our heart, like a rose blooming to the loving embrace of the sun radiating its light towards infinity. To live in Christ is the real and true goal of every human being. This is the alchemy of all of us.
The alchemist must be able to liberate the essence (spirit) from its form in order to understand the law work the accordance with it.
The teachings coming from the Order of Mariz and the Masters concerned chiefly Love.
"It kindles hearts for the highest joy
and is thus indestructible. Thus, let
us expand the heart- not for Earth but
for Infinity”.
“Heart”
My heart was blooming in aspiration towards the Master, and whenever He manifested Himself, I felt Him both in my heart and my head. What He was imparting to me was understood simultaneously by my heart and my brain. I learnt also to think with my heart.
All life flows through one’s heart and through it, we reach the Master and True Divine Love. We must cultivate love in all being: in a bird’s flight, in a blooming rose, in the sweet sounds of music, in the inner self of another being, in anything that lives.
Love between two beings is nothing else but divine manifestation searching in the union of their physical bodies the fusion they unconsciously feel to be or having been, at deeper level, of one’s inner self with the Divine.
When the spiritual aspiration starts, then one looks for fusion no longer in a partner but in Christ. Fusion of the heart and consciousness with the Divine is so sublime and pure, that earthly love, previously experienced is but an ephemeral dream. The more we purify and transcend our sexual energy, the more divine love is manifested in our inner self, coming from our Higher Self; in that communion it is easy to reach the Master. Until we get at that exalted condition, human relationship is necessary because it is part of the Universal Law; we should never repress anything but rather sublimate and transcend it, what is only possible by acquiring self-knowledge which will be turned into wisdom. Sooner or later, we all shall take that step one day.
Tantric philosophy is interesting in its essence, practised or lived in its highest values of aspiration and sublimation. I came to the conclusion that the Tantra is akin to alchemy, that is to say, both are related. While the alchemist develops his practice trying to transform or turn vile metals into gold, (a process which can last for life), he performs simultaneously his inner self’s development. In this elaboration of the metals, when he attains the knowledge of the transformation into gold, he is no longer interested in it, for the transcendency obtained in his inner self is beyond material things.
Meanwhile we knew that more disciples would come, attracted by inner feeling and affinity with us. After some time, having informal talks with another friend, talks that always dealt with our relationship and inner connection (of each other) to Portugal, we reported to each other our spiritual experiences. He was interested in the work and so we became three.
At that time, I was totally available for my external work because my children decided to live with their father, leaving me free from family duties. Their reason for doing it was that, knowing that I would like to follow a spiritual path in full dedication, I would not suffer from the fact of being left alone. Their father, on the contrary was missing them much.
I agreed with their decision without showing how much that grieved me, with the help of my aspiration and duty towards the Masters. I was receiving from the Lord Maitreya how to detach myself from my children. Although it seemed easy to understand these teachings it was in fact quite painful, because when I was left alone I suffered a great deal.
The fight was not an easy one and I had to gather all my courage and will to be able to get over it.
