Excerpts from the original source text
Teaching No. 1
1 In the beginning of time, I, as the Father, inspired in man the practice of righteousness. However, men departed from the Divine mandates, falling into idolatry and abominable acts before Me. The strong triumphed, the weak perished and man took woman as a slave. It was necessary to convey to Moses the Commandments of the Law on Mount Sinai. In that Law were also the rules and precepts by which the people of Israel should be guided, and in these they were told: He who kills, will have the same sentence pronounced upon himself. He who steals will make restitution to his brother. He who causes harm shall pay "an eye for eye and a tooth for a tooth".(Ex. 21:24/Lev. 24:20/Deut. 19:21)
2 The Second Era came to pass and I manifested Myself in Jesus to live among you, and in My word I said to you: "If anyone strikes you on the right cheek, turn to him the left. Forgive your enemies." (Matt. 5:39/Luke 6:29) And during the Third Era in which you live, I have come to say to you: If your Father's killer, being persecuted by human justice, were to knock at your door begging for help, what would you do? Protect him. In so doing you would demonstrate that you have reached the spiritual evolution, which enables you to comply with the Divine law of your Heavenly Father which commands you to love one another (John 15:17); to resurrect the spirits who have died to the life of grace, for every spirit will be saved.
3 Today I come to speak to your spirit and to reveal to you the content of the Seven Seals (Rev. 5:1), the book of your history, of prophecy, of revelation and justice.
4 It is I who has come to tell you that today you live the period which pertains to the Sixth Seal.
5 The year 1866 designates the beginning of this era of light. I sent Elijah to remove the veil of mystery and initiate the period of My communication with mankind as the Holy Spirit. Elijah illuminated a man destined by Me to be the forerunner. That chosen one, named Roque Rojas, was he who listened from Spirit to spirit to the voice of the prophet, who ordered him in My name to call and unite his brethren, because a Divine revelation was about to illuminate the destinies of humanity. Roque Rojas, gentle and humble as a lamb, obeyed the spiritual voice, answering: "God's will be done upon me."
6 Roque Rojas assembled a group of men and women of faith and good will, and there, in the midst of the first gatherings, Elijah manifested himself through the understanding of the envoy saying: "I am Elijah the prophet, the same of the transfiguration on Mount Tabor." (Matt. 17:2/Mark 9:2/2 Pet. 1:18) He gave instructions to the first disciples, at the same time that he proclaimed to them the era of Spirituality, and he prophesied that the Ray of Light of the Divine Master would communicate with His people soon.
7 On a day when the humble dwelling of Roque Rojas was full of faithfull followers who believed the word of that man, Elijah descended to illuminate the mind of his spokesman, and inspired by Me, he anointed seven of those believers to whom he gave the representation or symbolism of the Seven Seals.
8 Later, when that promised moment of My communication took place, I observed that out of those seven chosen, only one kept vigilance awaiting the arrival of the Pure Spouse, and that heart was that of Damiana Oviedo, the maiden whose understanding was the first to receive the light of the Divine Ray as a reward for her perseverance and her preparation.
9 Damiana Oviedo represented the Sixth Seal. It was one more proof that the light of the Sixth Seal illumines this era.
10 During the Second Era I found a woman's bosom, a maternal bosom, and also during this era, I rested in the chaste and pure heart of Damiana Oviedo. Her maidenly tenderness was maternal for the people of Israel and through her I prepared the guides, spokemen and laborers. I allowed her to reach the threshold of an old age and I said to her: -You, who have risen like a fountain of love and have kindled the torch of faith within the hearts of men, rest.- She requested that she be permitted to carry on in spirit, because she was zealous of My Divine Law and would not allow it to be blemished, thus I conceded to her wish.
11 I gave her another mission at that moment when I said: -Damiana, it is not My will that the troubled waters mix with the clear waters. Place yourself on the right hand of the guides so that their torch of faith may increase in them each day. Rejoice, and from where you are, delight yourself in these people. Look at the multitudes who love you and have recognized Me. They follow the footsteps that you left for them. Notice that the torch is still burning. The Master has said: He who sows love reaps love; he who sows light reaps light. You have struggled in preparing the understanding of the spokesmen and in clearing the way of My chosen ones, behold your seed.-
12 In truth I say to you, O My people: It is Damiana the chaste maiden who, in representation of Mary, has come during the Third Era to give you tenderness and affection. Blessed are the maidens who follow those footsteps, for I wil bestow My grace upon them. And all of you who are My children, it is My Divine longing to convert you into disciples, because the moment of My departure is near and I wish to leave you as teachers among mankind.
16 Today I have come to repeat My word reminding you of teachings of past eras. However, I have not come to remind you of the communion in the form that Jesus symbolized during the Second Era with the bread and wine of the Earth. (Matt. 26:26) The time in which the physical bread was offered in representation of My word has passed. Today the bread is My word and the sacred wine is the Divine essence which I grant you spiritually at every moment.
26 Many veils will be removed. My word is the sword of light which destroys all darkness.
27 Many hidden lessons will be exposed and unknown teachings will be revealed. Many mysteries will dissipate. However, you will not find these revelations in earthly books but only through this word.
28 Anyone who truly wishes to be a son of light must respectfully penetrate the depth of My word and there he will behold his Master waiting to teach him.
29 Truly, truly, the doctrines of men are not the ones which will make peace in the world and save mankind from its abyss.
30 Behold the religions ignoring one another, proclaiming to be teaching My Doctrine.
32 During the Second Era there were twelve disciples who spread My Doctrine throughout the world. (Luke 6:13) In the Third Era twelve thousand of each tribe will be the ones to make My teaching of truth and love known to all mankind. (Rev. 7:4-8)
33 Where are those 144,000? Elijah is reuniting them without it being and obstacle that some are in spirit and others incarnated. All will be united spiritually in this Divine Work.
34 You will see great events take place before your eyes, many of which will surprise you, but I will enlighten you with My lessons so that you will never be confused. Study My word, for it will inspire love toward your Father and your brethren. It is not necessary for you to belong to the 144,000 to be able to serve the Father or be named disciples of the Master. Those who form a part of this number, are just the ones who will open the way and be as guardians of My Work.
35 Today I come in Spirit. In the Second Era I was visible to the eyes of men, for I became Man.
36 Many on seeing Me asked themselves: -Who is this person who speaks in the name of God?- And others answered: -He is the son of Mary and Joseph, the carpenter. He is the Galilean.- Then they scoffed at Jesus. (Matt. 13:55/Mark 6:3)
37 But the son of the carpenter made the blind since birth to see the light, and amidst of it, the face of Jesus, who have healed them. These, on feeling the miracle of the caress of the Master, fell at His feet shouting that they recognized Him as the Promised Savior. (Matt. 20:30/Luke 18:35)
38 The amazed unbelievers asked themselves: How was it possible that that humble man, whom they knew as an ordinary human being, could perform such marvels?
39 Today I stand before you in Spirit, and mankind cannot call Me the son of a carpenter, but truly I say to you, that not even during that period was it fair to call Me thus. It was written that a virgin would conceive and in her womb the Word would take on Flesh. (Is. 7:14) Joseph, the patriarch, was in the life of the Virgin and the Child only a guardian angel visible to the eyes of men; (Matt. 1:18;2:13- 19) on the other hand, Mary was the incarnation of the Divine Maternal love and Mother of Jesus, who is the human phase of Christ. (Matt. 1:25; Luke 2:6,7)
41 In all eras you have been taught how to pray.
42 Moses made you pray the last night that you were in Egypt and also throughout you journey across the desert. (Ex. 12:21-28)
43 In the Second Era I taught you the Lord's Prayer, so that inspired by it, you would turn to the Father in your needs, always keeping in mind the promise of the coming of His Kingdom (Matt. 6:9-13), so that you would seek Him in quest of forgiveness, consulting your conscience as to whether you had first forgiven your debtors in the same manner.
44 Now I teach you the spiritual prayer, which does not come from the lips, but from the deepness of your spirit who, with humility and confidence, says to Me: "Lord, Thy will be done upon us."
45 I taught you how to heal. Jesus was the healing balsam, He was Health itself; His word healed anyone who heard it. His hand gave health to whoever He touched, His gaze brought infinite hope to anyone who received it; even His tunic, when touched with faith by those who approached Him burdened with bitterness and afflictions, restored their peace (Matt. 14:36); and even His blood, falling upon the face of the Centurion restored his lost eyesight. (Mark 15:39/ Luke 23:47)
46 Those miracles can only be achieved with love and with the charity that sprouts from it. With them you can heal.
47 Feel Me very close to you; evidence of that I have given you during the difficult moments of your life. I have wanted you to make My dwelling into your heart, so that you may feel My presence there.
48 Why is it that you are not able to feel Me, even though I am within you? Some seek Me in Nature; others only feel Me beyond the material things, but truly I say to you, I am in everything and everywhere. Why do you always seek Me outside of you, when I am also within your being?
61 The mystery of the resurrection of the flesh has been clarified by the revelation of the reincarnation of the spirit (John 3:7). Today you realize that the purpose of this law of love and justice is for the perfection of the spirit, so that he will never be lost, because he will always find and open door as an opportunity which the Father offers toward his salvation. (Rev. 3:8;4:1)
62 My judgment for every spirit, by reason of this law, is perfect and inexorable.
63 Only I know how to judge you, for each destiny is incomprehensible to men. Thus, no one is censured or exposed before the others.
64 And after sinking themselves in sin, after so many struggles and vicissitudes and much wandering, the spirits will come before Me filled with wisdom attained through their experience, purified by pain, elevated by their merits, weary from their long pilgrimage, yes, but simple and joyful as children.
66 The light of My word will unite all men during this Third Era. My truth will enlighten every mind, thus eliminating differences in creeds and forms of worship.
67 Today, while many love Me in Jehovah but do not acknowledge Christ, others love Me in Christ, ignoring Jehovah; while some recognize My existence as the Holy Spirit, others debate and divide themselves because of My Trinity.
68 Now then, I ask this humanity and those who guide it spiritually: Why do you drift away from one another, when everyone recognizes the same true God?
If you love Me in Jehovah, you are within the truth. If you love Me through Christ, He is the Way, the Truth and the Life (John 14:6). If you love Me as the Holy Spirit, you approach the light. You have only one God, only one Father. There are not three Divine persons who exist in God, but only one Divine Spirit, who has manifested Himself in three different phases to mankind which, in its smallness, while penetrating the profound believed to have seen three persons when only one Spirit exists.
Therefore, when you hear the name of Jehovah, think of God as the Father and as Judge. When you think of Christ, think of Him as the Master, as Love, and when you try to comprehend where the Holy Spirit originates, know that it is none other than God manifesting His infinite wisdom to those most advanced disciples.
69 If I had found humanity of ancient time spiritually evolved, like it is today, I would have manifested Myself before it as the Father, as the Master and as the Holy Spirit, then men would not have seen three Gods when only one exists. However, they were not capable of interpreting My lessons, thus they would have confused themselves and taken another path and kept on creating accessible and insignificant gods according to their imagination.
73 If Christ is love, do you believe that He would be independent of Jehovah, if I am love? (1 John 4:16)
74 If the Holy Spirit is Wisdom, do you believe that Spirit to be independent of Christ when I am Wisdom? Do you believe that the Word and the Holy Spirit are different from one another?
75 It suffices to know something about the word which Jesus taught to mankind in order for you to understand that only one God has existed and will be only one forever. That is why I said through Him: "He who knows the Son knows the Father, for He is in Me and I in Him." ( John 14:11) Then, announcing that in another time He would return among men, He not only said¨"I will return." but He also promised to send the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of Consolation, the Spirit of Truth. (John 16:13)
76 Why should Christ come separately from the Holy Spirit? By chance, would He not have within His Spirit the truth, the light and consolation?
77 How little of My truth men have penetrated! And in that small portion in which they have penetrated, how much have they become confused! They believe to have reached the culmination of the truth, but while they live using the truth to lie, to kill, to destroy the peace and reject one another, which is the opposite of what My word teaches, men will not be able to say that they follow the true path.
78 I am delivering My message to all of you during these times, the message promised to mankind through the lips of Jesus when He was among men.
79 I know that in the beginning this Doctrine will be disdained for having been transmitted through humble and sinful people like My spokesmen, but the truth that this revelation contains will prevail, and its teaching will be heard, for in its essence is present the Holy Spirit, the Comforter and the promised Truth. (John 16:7)

A Brief Note over some controversial points.
Reincarnation. Reincarnation is a very sensitive issue for Western religions, although the concept of reincarnation was probably in the mind of many of the writers of the Bible (Book of Job, Psalms, various verses of the prophets and, believe it or not, even in the Gospels). Also, in most of major Eastern religions and beliefs, reincarnation and the law of restitution of deeds sometimes called kharma, is a basic foundation for their doctrines and teachings. But at the moment, the belief in reincarnation remains as a matter of faith and judgement for every person. In the other hand, many people are giving testimonies of memories of past lives and these numerous evidences cannot be easily disregarded as fantasies or delusions anymore.
Spirit. The word spirit some times provoke, in many persons in the Western civilizations, images of something mysterious and obscure. And in these days, spirituality has been taken by some in the same sense as psychic and mental skills that, although remarkable and impressive, are far from the real concept of spirit. This is partially due to the use of the wrong translations made by the makers of the Septuagint version of the Scriptures of the OT. In the original texts there are two words, "rowah" and "nephesh", which modern scholars translate as spirit and soul, respectively. But the Septuagint translators use the same Greek word for both terms, "psyche", which in English was to be translated as "soul". Therefore, the confusion begun, and because of this, numerous contradictions suddenly appeared in the Bible, because the original biblical writers understood "rowah" as something immortal, etherous, subtle and treated "nephesh" as something mortal, earthly and physical. This is the reason why in some verses of the Bible, the "soul" dies (in English versions) while in others, is immortal. The writers of the NT, aware of the distinction between "rowah" and "nephesh", spoke of the Spirit of God, not the "Soul" of God, and in John's Gospel Jesus teachs us that God is spirit. There is not even a single mention of the word soul (nephesh) referred to God in the original texts.
The Law of Restitution. The love of the Heavenly Father reflected in His supreme Law of Reincarnation, could not be understood without the concept of restitution attached to it. Because without it, all the evil that afflicts mankind has no logical explanation. Thus, many religions teach that the pain and suffering in man is only because of God´s will, and not because the deeds, past or present, of every spirit. By not accepting the concept of reincarnation, they lack the explanation of why some creatures start their suffering in the very womb of their mothers, and the reasons for babies to be born with diseases and malformations while others are healthy and happy. It is here when they say that phrase that, in clear contradiction with the concept of a God of love, mercy and compassion, summarizes the disrepair and absence of any logical explanation: "The Lord works in mysterious ways."
