Maitreya Comes With the Spiritual Order of Portugal

 (...previous) They were interesting people. I met in an unexpected and strange way an astrologer learned in esoteric philosophies having a special as well as an uncommon mental and spiritual level and a mystical turn. I expressed admiration for him and with this help I started studying astrology. He was a special friend, a mark in my spiritual life, for since the beginning I recognized him as a disciple of the Master. Meditating together, we noticed that we were a powerful spiritual strength that could be of benefit to others. Then we started working consciously with the Master (Christ or Maitreya) in the service for others. That help was given through astrology in which we used our spiritual knowledge and taught the doctrines of Karma and Reincarnation.
Astrology was a new field of experience and learning. It gave me the psychological understanding both of myself as well as of other people, besides the deep connection and correspondence of the stars and planets with man. The influence that the heavenly bodies emanate to the center of the Earth due to the effect of their power, brings about a continual variety of things. A being is born on a day and at a time in which the heavenly rays are in mathematic harmony with his individual karma.
With the increase of self knowledge, we gradually give chance to our free will expression allowing the possibility of chanting the most negative aspect in our astrological theme, helping thus and collaborating with the Lords of Karma.
I always had instruction during my sleep especially since I started leading a spiritual life; those teachings have been received more consciously, assuring me that the invisible planes are like a school to me.
One night, before getting to sleep I found myself in one of those state of doubt that sometimes used to assault me, knowing that there was something to be done, what? I could not tell. I prayed fervently in meditation the Lords of Karma to let me know or to understand- why was I still incarnate if my desire was to be in the invisible world enjoying celestial peace. One of those nights followed in which I have no dreams, sleep was sound as if my astral body was travelling in remote places. In those occasions I am aware, when I awake, of the places where I have been and to whom I have spoken. When waking up, still in a state of sleep mingled with vigil, I felt my astral body entering with force into my physical body, as if one had thrown it abruptly, and, at the same time, the Lords of Karma were saying: “now there! You give love, love, love!” A state of sublime comprehension and love followed anent the highest regions. Those words were firm and sweet at the same time making me understand that I still had much to learn and give. It was a new impetus to face life and take a more suitable attitude towards my own karma.
Another particularity of my friend, the astrologer, was to practise Latihan. What is Latihan? It is practised in Subud, a group of people connected to an Indonesian Master, who in his youth received from the upper planes a spiritual energy as well as the duty to transmit it to others. I am not trying to explain what Latihan means. You reach the understanding of that Divine Grace only by living it.
At this time I already was against the idea of groups for I had known some of them and noticed that even in the spiritual path there is greed for power as well as shocks of personalities which people are not always able to surpass. As I had decided to go on by myself I automatically refused the idea of belonging to that group, idea which was in my friend’s mind when he first spoke to me about Subud. Although his mental and spiritual capacities were amazing, his words were poor to explain Latihan.
Meanwhile out of curiosity I started practising a little Latihan with him and I could feel the energy in my inner self producing a change of consciousness as well as connection with God. Even so, I was still sceptical towards groups, when I had a dream which was quite revealing.
