Maitreya Comes With the Spiritual Order of Portugal
by Maria Ferreira da Silva
in 07 Jun 2006
 (...previous) I cannot help mentioning the assistance given to me by my friend the astrologer, who had collaborated with me directly in the most difficult cases by coming to my place for the purpose. It was a wonderful work which filled us with joy and gratitude towards God.
I shall try convey one of the most delightful experiences, the most transcendent of all. Having had a day fully occupied helping others, and having been so blessed by Grace and spiritual help, I said a prayer thanking God for all the light and bliss received. I was raised in consciousness to the Divine Consciousness as I heard and felt I had not to be thankful for I was Him. It is hard to impart the transcendent, as this was lived and felt in His Consciousness in total fusion. For some time, loosing awareness of time and space, I was only spirit, light and love. In fact I was Him, and could not at that moment make the duality, because I Was. Then I felt the non-existence, I Was nothing, but at the same time I was All, there was neither me or Him but absolute fusion. This Divine Grace I will never forget.
I imposed myself strict discipline because I was quite busy with painting, the children, the other...
I used to get up, all year round, at 6 a.m. having then the unique opportunity to witness sunrise, a great advantage for my spiritual development. Of course I had problems like anybody else living in the world and having a family. I used not to identify myself with those problems, trying to solve them patiently trusting the strength of my inner-self and God’s protection. I understood as well that I did not need any more faith or Hope. God was part of me, my life was filled up with His Love.
Some people to whom I used to speak were aware of their connection with the past of the Portuguese history, some of them aware of their attachment to the Order of Mariz, and others unconscious of it. There were facts that led me to the knowledge of its existence. Without having heard its name, I painted a rose over a dark background. On doing it I ended up making it larger than I first intended, painting in it so many petals that without knowing how, an M as well as two centers came into sight. I loved to have painted it for I am very fond of roses. I gave it to a friend who noticed the M at once and told me that the rose was the symbol of the work I was to do later, with the Order, under the sign of Gemini. I felt a touch in my heart meaning that something previously known had a lot to do with me, when I heard, for the first time the name of the Order. From that day on, it started manifesting itself as well as becoming acquainted with me.
Then I spoke to the person who seemed to be more connected with it. He told me that the Order is active in Portugal at present and gave me also important information about it. All this happened after the Order had imparted to me, during meditation, what I was to achieve from then on. It was a very interesting experience because I was in deep connection with the Divinity. When I was told what should be done, I thought it so absurd that I was annoyed (it was the first time I heard such instruction and did not recognize it as such), because in spite of my being in such a state of high spiritual level, less positive influence might interfere in order to deceive or bewilder me. I laughed at those influences trying to drive them away, but it actually was the Order itself, and for three times I was told the same. I was so puzzled as well as surprised at such a responsibility that I always put it aside. Sometimes, during the day, I felt a pain in my heart as if my conscience was accusing me of some fault and whenever that happened, the message of the Order came to my mind, until at last I realized that the pain was caused by my sceptical attitude. I decided to change my point of view and accepted their suggestion. From then on a relationship of Love and work was established.
