Before leaving his disciples, Jesus said, ‘Now I am going to him who sent me. I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth.’ His words mean that the Spirit alone can give us a true understanding of his teaching. We should therefore meditate on the message of the Gospels, in order to exalt its essence within us, immersing ourselves in it while connecting to the heavenly entities. The day we are able to experience the great truths contained in the Gospels as living and effective realities, our whole inner being becomes purified, enlightened and renewed by them. For those vibrations coming from the world of the soul and of the spirit are experienced by our whole being, and then something that was dormant within us awakens and begins to stir. Even if learned people often criticize the style of the Gospel texts, these texts can be seen as currents of power able to awaken our soul to a new life. This is what is called the second birth, the birth of the Christ.
