Maitreya Comes With the Spiritual Order of Portugal
by Maria Ferreira da Silva
in 07 Jun 2006
 (...previous) Whoever knows a little about the esoteric Portuguese history knows who the initiates of the Order of Mariz were. Let us quote, for instance, some of the most famous: King Dennis and his wife Queen Isabel, who created greater karma with mankind during the time of Atlantis; Henry the Navigator at the time of the great maritime discoveries. Great dramas took place up to now for the reestablishment of the Cosmos energy corrupted since Atlantis times. The well known work of Henry the Navigator was, in fact, a relevant service both spiritual and material towards mankind through the impact caused by the Portuguese discoveries in the world.
CHAPTER II
“The law of karma as well as the law
of dates are similar to Janus-showing
two faces one generating the other.
Karma bears the fruit of action and
evokes the date of manifestation.”
“Leaves of Morya´s Garden”
I am aware of the way how the law of impermanence has been guiding my life. I understood that two years of spiritualism had been enough; it was then necessary to face by myself the negativity I was creating. I realized how dependent people become under spiritualism. So I became more responsible for my thoughts and the energy developed by my mind, recognizing, nevertheless, the work of spiritualism. This understanding came only to my mind after the development acquired during spiritualist séances. This means that I am not against it, it will always be necessary while there will be vibrations to support it or beings whose capacities for spiritual development are blocked up by illusion or Māyā, living in suffering and creating dependence upon desires.
Striving for new ideals, I resumed by myself the spiritual path, decided to prepare myself more and more in order to help others. Later on I understood this sentence: “to help others”. It implies, of course, good will, but it actually represents the conceit and vanity of our ego trying to disguise by camouflage the needs of our own personality. This shows us that it is we, the ones who are in need of others to prove and show them and to us, our own superiority. Great is indeed the illusion of human beings always trying to justify the support to their vanity and pride! Help to others should be given in a more global context e.g. the one who, owing to his life of purity and renouncement, is able to make others to ponder on his noble behaviour in life, so they take him as a standard. We have many such instances along the human history.
Meanwhile, I had been married for eighteen years, having three children, almost grown up. A happy marriage in which I had been always eager to give the best I could, for the purpose of my present incarnation is to give love and to be loved.
As my companion (for whom I feel deep gratitude and love) did not follow me concerning my new ideals, an abyss grew between us, making me anxious for liberation in order to dedicate myself utterly to spiritual life. In spite of having been part of my way, although less conscious of my responsibility towards the Creator, I felt that my karma as mother and wife had come to an end.
When I look back into the past and consider all the protection, or rather the good karma I created in past lives, I usually say that “God took me in His arms when I was born”. My life has not been marked by suffering except for a heart condition which has limited my professional realization. This condition made me lead a quiet life and has created an aura of protection from my family sheltering me somehow from worldly violence, giving me thus the opportunity to unfold my inner self.
After a difficult time caused by separation in marriage, I found myself living with my three children for two years. I shared my time between them and spiritual life or rather they were part of one another. During that time I had no connection with any spiritual group. I went often to town to attend lectures and meetings or to esoteric schools. There I met people with similar aspiration allowing me to discuss about the books I was reading and the inner path.
