The Starseed Transmissions: An Extraterrestrial Report

«It was during a cold and snowy period of eleven days from December 27, 1978 to January 6, 1979 that the whole of this material was recorded» — la Introduction fecha el registro entero en once días de invierno, del 27 de diciembre de 1978 al 6 de enero de 1979, y dice que el material se registró, no que se escribiera; es la única fecha que el volumen imprime.

«I have taken the liberty of editing out the repetition and rearranging it in chapter format, but aside from that, I share it with you as it was first presented to me» — y acota qué parte del libro reclama para sí quien lo publica: quitó la repetición y lo ordenó en capítulos, y fuera de eso dice entregarlo tal como se le presentó.

«I can certainly attest to the truth of what is stated in these transmissions: one’s life does indeed begin to change when one decides to work with the approaching forces» — quien firma la Introduction pone su propio testimonio detrás de lo que el libro sostiene: dice que la vida de uno empieza a cambiar cuando se decide a trabajar con las fuerzas que se acercan.

«I hope the significance of this material is not lost to certain readers because of a reluctance to accept its purported origin» — anticipa la objeción del lector y la nombra por su nombre, el reparo ante el origen que el libro se atribuye, sin pedir que se acepte.

«Regardless of one’s opinion on the plausibility of extraterrestrial or angelic communion, it might be pointed out that the simple act of structuring information in this manner opens up communicative possibilities that are virtually non-existent in a conventional mode» — y ofrece un argumento que no depende de esa creencia: estructurar así la información abriría posibilidades de comunicación casi inexistentes en el modo convencional.

«Much of what is communicated in these pages would not easily lend itself to other, more traditional, ways of conveying information» — con el complemento del anterior, que buena parte de lo comunicado no se prestaría con facilidad a las maneras más tradicionales de transmitir información.

«The messages came first in non-verbal form, on waves, or pulsations, that carried the concise symbolic content of what I term “meta-conceptual information.» — describe la forma en que dice haber recibido los mensajes: primero sin palabras, en ondas o pulsaciones que llevaban el contenido simbólico de lo que él llama información meta-conceptual; el término va entrecomillado en el impreso y el troceo se come la comilla de cierre.

«Automatically, it would seem, the nearest approximating words or phrases from the English language would be assigned to ride, as it were, the fluctuations of the non-verbal communications» — y cómo dice que las palabras se acoplaron a eso: las más aproximadas del inglés quedaban asignadas, al parecer solas, a cabalgar las fluctuaciones de la comunicación no verbal.

«Often it was the case that the only human conceptual system with approximating terminology was religious. Hence, the occasional use of “Christian” words and phrases» — de ahí deriva el vocabulario religioso del libro: dice que el único sistema conceptual humano con terminología aproximada era el religioso, y que por eso se usan a veces palabras cristianas.

«It is not to be assumed that these always imply the usual assortment of meanings that are generally associated with them» — con la reserva pegada, que no se dé por supuesto que esas palabras traigan siempre el surtido de sentidos que se les asocia.

«As I communed with these spatial intelligences, our biogravitational fields seemed to merge, our awarenesses blend, and my nervous system seemed to become available to them as a channel for communication» — la mecánica que declara: campos biogravitacionales que se funden, consciencias que se mezclan y un sistema nervioso que queda disponible para ellos como canal de comunicación. La frase anterior, que el troceo parte a fin de renglón en *neuron-biologically*, dice que las comunicaciones parecen haberse transmitido por vía neurológica; se corta aquí para no fundir ese compuesto.

«During our interviews, I would perceive reality, not only through my own perceptual mechanism, but through theirs as well. The resulting synthesis provided for a relatively accurate approximation in human language of the awareness they brought» — y qué dice que ocurría mientras tanto: percibir la realidad por su propio mecanismo y por el de ellos a la vez, síntesis de la que saldría la aproximación en lengua humana.

«In the course of my work with these creatures, I understood them to be focalizations of various essential perspectives. At times I considered these extraterrestrial, at other times, angelic» — sobre qué son las entidades no cierra: las entendió como focalizaciones de perspectivas esenciales, unas veces extraterrestres y otras angélicas.

«Occasionally, I thought of the entities as informational cells within a Galactic organism of some sort» — y añade una tercera lectura suya, células informacionales dentro de un organismo galáctico.

«Toward the end of the transmissions, other, more mythical perspectives emerge, about which I will make no comment here» — de las perspectivas más míticas que aparecen al final del libro se abstiene expresamente de comentar, y la abstención queda impresa.

«But by whatever term we choose to understand these entities their purpose in sending these messages has not been to teach us of themselves, but to teach us of our own nature and purpose upon this third planet from the star we call Sun» — el propósito que les adjudica no es hablar de ellas: dice que es enseñar a los humanos su propia naturaleza y su propósito en este tercer planeta desde la estrella que llamamos Sol.

«I come from the Presence where there is no time but the eternal now. I retain, even in the midst of this relationship, an awareness of this realm and of the Universal Being that inhabits it. I come with a message that will prove vital to you in these final days of your history» — el capítulo 1 abre sin presentación ninguna y en primera persona: la transmisión, por Carey, dice venir de una Presencia sin tiempo y traer un mensaje para los que llama los últimos días de la historia humana.

«My individual identity comes into being only as I enter the context of my relationship with you» — de su identidad sostiene que no es previa al trato: empieza a existir solo al entrar en relación con quien escucha.

«When I am no longer needed in this capacity, I will merge back into the Being behind all being. There I remain in unity and fulfillment until the next impulse comes to send me on another mission» — y que al terminar vuelve a fundirse en el Ser detrás de todo ser, donde permanece hasta el impulso siguiente.

«In the interim, there is no distinction between me and the Source. I and others of my kind desire at this time to bring humans to this same level of awareness» — en ese intervalo, dice, no hay distinción entre ella y la Fuente, y declara que lo que quiere para los humanos es ese mismo nivel.

«I am a focus of collective human consciousness, but at this time you have little conception of what that means» — se define como foco de la consciencia humana colectiva y a la vez advierte que el oyente no está en condiciones de entender qué significa eso.

«You still draw identity from the present form of your expression. You feel defined and limited by flesh and bones. You are only beginning to comprehend your oneness with other forms of life» — la razón que da: que el oyente saca su identidad de la forma presente y se siente definido y limitado por carne y huesos.

«For me to tell you, with these limiting definitions you have of yourself, that I represent an element or a focus of your collective consciousness, would actually be less accurate than to say that I am extraterrestrial» — de ahí que prefiera el término ajeno: con esas definiciones, llamarse elemento de la consciencia colectiva del oyente sería menos exacto que llamarse extraterrestre.

«I meet the criteria of the latter term in that I do come from outside your planetary field of influence» — y acota en qué sentido cumple el criterio del segundo término, por venir de fuera del campo de influencia planetaria.

«I bring instructions to your race from the directive organ of Galactic Being» — de dónde dice traer lo que trae: instrucciones para la especie humana desde el órgano directivo de un Ser Galáctico.

«When you remember your true nature, and begin to draw identity from the totality of your being, then it could be stated with all validity that I am an element of your own consciousness» — y cuándo valdría la otra descripción: cuando el oyente recuerde su naturaleza y saque identidad de la totalidad de su ser.

«However, at that point, you will no longer perceive me as you do now. When you have awakened to the reality of your true being, you will perceive me and all my species as being inside yourself» — con la consecuencia perceptiva que le adjudica, que entonces la vería a ella y a los de su especie como algo de dentro y no de fuera.

«There is but the filmiest of screens between your present condition and your true nature» — mide la distancia entre las dos condiciones como la más delgada de las pantallas.

«It is our mission to assist you in bridging this gap, to awaken you from sleep, to bring you to the fulfillment of your destiny» — y enuncia la misión que se atribuye en plural: ayudar a cruzar ese hueco, despertar del sueño y llevar al cumplimiento del destino.

«The state of consciousness that I represent does not normally verbalize. It. is difficult for me to relate what I wish to convey only through the words and concepts with which you are familiar» — declara además el límite del propio medio: el estado de consciencia que representa no suele verbalizar, y le cuesta decir lo suyo con las palabras del oyente; el troceo imprime un punto suelto en *It. is*.

«Your language was designed to facilitate commerce. What we put together with its components can only approximate my meaning» — y da el diagnóstico de la lengua con que se le obliga a hablar, hecha para facilitar el comercio, con la que solo se aproxima a su sentido.

«There is another, more ancient language, more conductive to discourse on this level, but you have forgotten it» — frente a ella pone otra lengua más antigua, más conductiva para este nivel, que declara olvidada.

«Its transfer of information is accomplished through the actual projection of living informational units. These units are at once more specific and more inclusive than your words» — y describe cómo funcionaría: por proyección de unidades informacionales vivas, a la vez más específicas y más inclusivas que las palabras.

«Simultaneously with this conceptual communication, you are subliminally receiving this same information through the living language of light, though your preoccupation with words leaves you with no awareness of it at this time» — sostiene que esa segunda vía está corriendo ya por debajo, en lo que llama el lenguaje vivo de la luz, sin que el oyente lo note por su ocupación con las palabras.

«My work will be complete when I have put you in touch once again with this ancient language» — y fija ahí el término de su trabajo, volver a poner al oyente en contacto con esa lengua.

«Human beings have a tendency to become imprisoned in their concepts. You must remember that words and concepts can be both fallible and misleading. They are not absolutes» — la advertencia con que cierra el tramo: que los humanos tienden a quedar presos de sus conceptos, que palabras y conceptos pueden ser falibles y engañosos y que no son absolutos.

«this does not mean that I am coming from a vague place. On the contrary, it means that your words are not precise enough to express the levels of vibratory awareness that I am attempting to communicate through them» — la frase empieza al final de la plana anterior, donde dice que ninguna afirmación suya puede tomarse como absoluta; aquí acota que eso no significa venir de un sitio vago sino que las palabras no bastan para los niveles de consciencia vibratoria que intenta comunicar.

«If we are able to get the totality of our message through to even a few individual cells of your collective body, these few should be able to translate this information into forms of cultural expression that will bring about your awakening far more effectively than our overt manipulations of the historical process» — el cálculo que la transmisión, por Carey, hace de su propio alcance: bastarían unas pocas células del cuerpo colectivo capaces de traducir esto a formas de expresión cultural, y eso rendiría más que lo que llama sus manipulaciones abiertas del proceso histórico.

«The message that is revealed in these pages is the key that will unlock your own latent informational input systems. We are here to put you in direct contact with the source of all information» — y qué dice ser el mensaje, la llave de los sistemas latentes de entrada de información del propio lector.

«Our mission is to bring a pre-Fall state of awareness to all human beings who are able to respond, however different they may be, whatever background their may have come from, using whatever conceptual structures seem appropriate» — la misión, enunciada sin exigir pertenencia: llevar un estado de consciencia anterior a la Caída a cualquiera que pueda responder, venga de donde venga y con las estructuras conceptuales que le sirvan; el troceo imprime *their* donde el sentido pide *they*.

«Eventually, the psychic pressure exerted by a critical mass of humanity will reach levels that are sufficient to tip the scales» — el mecanismo del cambio que anuncia es de masa crítica: la presión psíquica de una parte de la humanidad llegaría a niveles suficientes para inclinar la balanza.

«At that time, the spell which was cast on your race thousands of years ago, when you plunged into the worlds of good and evil, will be shattered forever» — y qué se rompería entonces, el hechizo que dice echado sobre la especie hace miles de años, cuando se hundió en los mundos del bien y del mal.

«I am now blending my consciousness with the cells of your body in order to provide you with some or the more specific information net that I do occasionally relate, but I do this as little as possible» — declara lo que hace mientras habla y se pone un límite: mezclar su consciencia con las células del cuerpo del lector para dar información específica, cosa que dice hacer lo menos posible; el troceo imprime *some or the* por *some of the*.

«My primary function is to show you how to tap these systems or data retention for yourself. With guidance, you will learn to release your definitions of who you think you are, open your self up to the experience of a much greater reality than you presently believe possible, and return to a level of consciousness where you will be able to communicate with us, not through cumbersome words and concepts, but directly, through communion with all that is» — su función principal la pone en enseñar a usar esos sistemas sin ella: soltar las definiciones de quién se cree uno y volver a un nivel de consciencia donde se comunique por comunión y no por palabras; el troceo imprime *systems or data retention* por *of data retention*.

«Do you want to know more about extraterrestrials? Do you want a definition of angels? We are you, yourself, in the distant past and distant future» — a las dos preguntas que el lector traería, qué son los extraterrestres y qué son los ángeles, responde identificándolos con el propio lector en su pasado y en su futuro remotos.

«I act in this capacity as a midwife at your birth into form. I am an angel of destiny, a messenger from the stars, but I am also the reflection of your unity before and after matter. I am here to enter your consciousness, here to wake you up» — y en la misma plana se nombra con cuatro figuras seguidas, partera del nacimiento a la forma, ángel del destino, mensajero de las estrellas y reflejo de la unidad del lector antes y después de la materia. Es lo más cerca que el volumen está de darle un nombre propio: no se lo da.

«for though your sensory channels are, in your exclusive dependence on them, your great limitation, they are also marvelous instruments of perception. They are truly your crowning virtue as well as your tragic flaw» — sobre los sentidos humanos sostiene las dos cosas a la vez y no las armoniza: son la gran limitación por la dependencia exclusiva de ellos y a la vez instrumentos maravillosos de percepción, virtud coronante y defecto trágico.

«I have never seen the structure of time and space reduced to such intricate and beautiful patterns. I would look out of your eyes for a while and take in the colors and the room and the trees outside the window, and delight in the curious way you perceive light —as illumination» — el pasaje en que la transmisión, por Carey, habla de lo que le pasa al mirar por los ojos humanos: nunca vio el tiempo y el espacio reducidos a patrones así, y le sorprende que los humanos perciban la luz como iluminación.

«Yet you will not be able to continue here much longer if we don’t get on with the business at hand. Much that I am now seeing will not survive many more years of human ignorance» — y el reverso, con el plazo puesto por delante: mucho de lo que dice estar viendo no sobreviviría a muchos más años de ignorancia humana.

«It is important that we restore you, as the central control mechanism of this planet, to a proper state of function» — el papel que la voz adjudica a la especie humana dentro del planeta, mecanismo de control central, es lo que dice venir a restaurar.

«But now there is work to be done. We must forge the conceptual tools that will set you free» — y el trabajo que anuncia no es doctrina sino instrumento: forjar las herramientas conceptuales que liberen al oyente.

«In your natural state of being, you have no sense of identity distinct from the Creator, except when you are engaged in a relationship. On this level of being, identity comes into focus only in the context of a relationship with some other aspect of being that has become objectified, much as my identity as an angelic messenger comes into being through my relationship with you» — el capítulo 2 enuncia la tesis que sostiene todo lo demás: en el estado natural no hay identidad distinta de la del Creador salvo dentro de una relación, y la voz aplica esa regla a sí misma, a la que llama aquí mensajera angélica.

«When such a relationship is not taking place, that particular expression of you simply does not exist; you float effortlessly in the potential of God. You are not annihilated, but all definitions of you are, and you are released from their restraining influence, allowed to expand into a state of love and perfection» — fuera de esa relación, sostiene, la expresión concreta no existe y uno flota en el potencial de Dios: no queda aniquilado, quedan aniquiladas sus definiciones.

«Throughout the course of your existence, you continually oscillate, like the wave function that you essentially are, in and out of focus, in and out of definition, always moving back and forth» — la figura con que describe la existencia es física, la de una función de onda que entra y sale de foco y de definición.

«This is the natural rhythm of your existence, just as it is mine. It is the song of God, the rhythm of Life itself» — y la voz declara que ese ritmo es igual para ella y para el oyente, y lo llama el canto de Dios.

«Before the Fall, you had the ability to shift the center of your awareness from diety to identity, from form to meta-form at will» — lo que sitúa antes de la Caída es una capacidad, la de desplazar a voluntad el centro de la consciencia entre la deidad y la identidad y entre la forma y la meta-forma; el troceo imprime *diety*.

«In a healthy state, you are functioning in two realities at once. Half of the time you are focused on your form identity, and the other half on your identity with the Totality of What Is» — el estado sano lo define como reparto por mitades entre la identidad de forma y la identidad con la Totalidad de lo que Es.

«In the fallen state of consciousness, you find yourself trapped with your awareness on one side only, while the actual substance of your being continues to function on both sides» — y la Caída como desajuste entre la consciencia y el ser: la atención queda atrapada de un solo lado mientras la sustancia del ser sigue funcionando de los dos.

«In the reality you now think to be the only reality, you are fragmented; the human race seems to be composed of a multitude of beings. In the other reality, there is only you» — de donde saca la fórmula que el libro repetirá hasta el final: de este lado la especie parece un montón de seres, del otro hay uno solo.

«unconsciousness of your identity with the Creator is cutting off the flow of Life-giving information to the part of you that exists in form» — el daño que atribuye a esa inconsciencia es de suministro: corta el flujo de información que da vida a la parte que existe en forma.

«As I search your symbol storage systems for a word with which to express something of the reality in which you exist as one with your Creator, I come across the American Indian word “nagual.” It is a term which you understand to mean “everything that cannot be named» — la voz declara cómo elige sus palabras, buscando en los sistemas de símbolos del oyente, y toma de ahí el término *nagual*, que atribuye a los indios americanos y glosa como todo lo que no puede nombrarse.

«In the pre-Fall state of awareness, you existed in the nagual, the all, the everything, the nothing, the primal void where all exists in a state of potential. This is the Creator that surrounds Creation like the sea surrounds a fish» — y qué pone en ese término: el todo, la nada, el vacío primordial donde lo que hay está en potencia, Creador que rodea a la Creación como el mar al pez.

«The tonal is everything that can be named. It is the imaginary world of God in which all apparent differences exist. It is the playground of What Is. The tonal draws all of its sustenance from the nagual. It cannot exist apart from the nagual» — el par opuesto, el *tonal*, es lo nombrable, mundo imaginario de Dios donde existen las diferencias aparentes, que saca su sustento del nagual y no puede existir aparte de él.

«While the nagual is a dynamic, yet steady state of rest, the tonal, or manifest physical universe, is continuously flashing on and off. This oscillation occurs in all things manifest, from the smallest subatomic particle to the greatest galaxy» — y la diferencia de régimen entre los dos: el nagual es reposo dinámico y estable, el tonal parpadea sin parar, y esa oscilación la extiende de la partícula subatómica a la galaxia.

«All of us, angels, humans, anything that can be named, are only in form one half of the time. The other half of the time we exist in the Totality of Being. This Totality of Being that we have been calling the nagual, has also been called God the Father» — la regla se aplica sin excepción a ángeles y humanos, la mitad del tiempo en forma y la otra mitad en la Totalidad del Ser, a la que dice que también se ha llamado Dios Padre.

«It was through a simple lack of faith. It was through a loss of confidence in the absolute perfection of the universal design. This was brought about by the entry of a single factor into your existence: fear, the serpent in the Garden, the Devil in history» — a la pregunta por cómo se perdió esa capacidad responde con una causa única y la nombra con tres nombres: falta de fe, pérdida de confianza en la perfección del diseño, y miedo, que identifica con la serpiente del Jardín y con el Diablo de la historia.

«Through a subtle process of reasoning, this being encouraged you to move in a pattern of activity that has come to be called “Original Sin» — lo que ese factor indujo lo llama con el término heredado, un patrón de actividad que ha venido a llamarse Pecado Original.

«With a clever and subtle lie, you were convinced to not exactly stop trusting in God, but to stop trusting exclusively in God» — y afina en qué consistió el engaño, que no fue dejar de confiar en Dios sino dejar de confiar exclusivamente en Dios.

«The moment you did this, your consciousness began to shift from God-centeredness to selfcenteredness, and for the first time, you became more aware of your identity in form than of your identity in God» — el efecto inmediato que describe es un cambio de centro, de la centralidad de Dios a la de sí mismo, y de ahí la primacía de la identidad en forma sobre la identidad en Dios. El troceo parte *self-centeredness* a fin de renglón y la extracción devuelve la forma fundida.

«This shift in awareness was minimal at first, but enough to begin what was to become a long spiral downward through denser and denser levels of energy-bondage and restraint» — y lo mide como proceso y no como ruptura, mínimo al principio y bastante para iniciar una espiral larga hacia niveles cada vez más densos de atadura de la energía.

«For Satan, your tempter, is the materializing influence who in its right place is responsible for the bonding of energy in the creation of matter» — a Satán no lo trata como adversario sino como función mal colocada: influencia materializadora que en su sitio propio es responsable de ligar la energía en la creación de la materia.

«As you began to focus more and more upon your identity in form, you began thinking in terms of defending that form with unnecessary and cumbersome ego structures» — de la atención puesta en la forma deriva el ego, que describe como estructura de defensa innecesaria y torpe.

«It became harder for you to avoid identifying with your experience. You began to carry over past patterns of behavioral response into new relationships. This made you less effective in those relationships because you were no longer fully present, no longer using the fullness of your potential» — y el costo relacional que le adjudica, arrastrar respuestas pasadas a relaciones nuevas y dejar de estar presente en ellas.

«You were beginning to build up around yourself energized thought structures that imprisoned you. You were drawn by simple gravitational attraction, to those realms of space where energy was in the process of being bonded, where matter was being created» — el mecanismo con que explica el descenso a la materia es de atracción: estructuras de pensamiento energizadas que aprisionan y arrastran por gravitación simple a los ámbitos donde la energía se estaba ligando.

«The physical Garden of Eden lasted for many centuries of Earth time before the momentum of the materializing processes caused you to rely so much upon the physical senses that you became cut off from the direct nourishment of divine light» — la transmisión, por Carey, pone el Jardín del Edén como periodo físico de siglos, y su final como consecuencia de la dependencia de los sentidos, no como castigo.

«In reality, you have never been cut off from this nourishment, but as your sense of identity became almost exclusively wedded to your physical bodies, their growing density began demanding more and more Earth substance for their support» — y sostiene que el corte nunca ocurrió de veras: lo que cambió fue que el cuerpo, cada vez más denso, empezó a pedir más sustancia terrestre.

«It is at this point that your chronicles state that you were “driven from the Garden.” In truth, you were never driven from the Garden. The Garden is still there, surrounding you even now» — de ahí su lectura de la expulsión, que niega como hecho y explica como relato de las crónicas: el Jardín sigue ahí y rodea al lector ahora mismo.

«Language is only capable of communicating on one level at a time. Yet the Fall was a simultaneous multi-leveled occurrence» — advierte además el límite de su propia exposición, que la lengua va por un nivel a la vez y la Caída fue simultánea en varios.

«Thus, the whole process of the Fall was accompanied by a corresponding fragmentation of your sense of identity, your very sense of self» — el segundo nivel que nombra es la fragmentación del sentido de identidad, que corre en paralelo a la materialización.

«The sexual process came into play in order to produce physical projections within which these apparently separate entities you had split yourself into could take form» — y le adjudica un efecto biológico: el proceso sexual habría entrado en juego para dar forma a las entidades aparentemente separadas en que uno se habría dividido.

«Even to this day, these apparently separate beings are but your own fragmented reflections. In the fallen state, you perceive them as separate and distinct» — con la consecuencia que sostiene hasta hoy, que los demás son reflejos fragmentados de uno mismo y solo el estado caído los percibe como distintos.

«Yet, despite all this talk of a Fall and Original Sin, you are not held prisoner by events that transpired in the dim reaches of your collective memory. You are not born into sin» — y a la vez niega la herencia: pese a todo lo dicho sobre la Caída y el Pecado Original, nadie queda preso de aquello ni nace en pecado.

«You are born daily into the Presence of God, yet daily you re-enact the original foolishness that is recorded in all your ancient chronicles. Daily you commit Original Sin; daily you eat of the forbidden fruit, and it is from moment to moment that you keep yourself imprisoned by allowing a dubious rational thought process to come between you and your immediate sensing of God’s will» — porque traslada el pecado original del origen al presente: se comete a diario, y consiste en dejar que un proceso de pensamiento racional dudoso se meta entre uno y su percepción inmediata de la voluntad de Dios.

«There should rightly be no interval between the determination of the need to take action and the implementation of that action» — la regla que deriva de ahí, que no debería haber intervalo entre determinar la necesidad de una acción y ejecutarla.

«You are now, in effect, sleeping under the influence of what could almost be seen as a spell, an illusion that prevents you from experiencing the clarity of perception that is your natural birthright» — el estado actual lo nombra como sueño bajo algo parecido a un hechizo, que impide la claridad de percepción que llama derecho de nacimiento.

«Our mission to this planet is to awaken you from sleep by whatever means necessary» — y repite la misión en una línea, despertar del sueño por los medios que hagan falta.

«Since the first breath of God at the beginning of all the worlds, it was preordained that Creation would exist within a rhythm of expansion and contraction» — el capítulo 3 abre con la cosmología del libro, un ritmo preordenado de expansión y contracción desde el primer aliento de Dios.

«The Hindus refer to this process as the in-breathing and out-breathing of Brahma, the process through which God breathes out all of Creation, and then breathes it all back in again» — y la voz nombra la tradición de la que toma la figura, la inspiración y espiración de Brahma que atribuye a los hindúes.

«At this point in linear time, we are very close to the middle of the cycle, soon to reach the exact mid-point between the out-breath and the in-breath of God» — sitúa el momento presente muy cerca del punto medio exacto entre las dos respiraciones.

«It will coincide with what has come to be called the Second Coming of Christ» — y hace coincidir ese punto medio con lo que llama, con el término heredado, la Segunda Venida de Cristo.

«When any vibrational system reverses the momentum of its direction, as a pendulum does at the uppermost point of its swing, there is a moment of complete rest before it resumes its movement in the opposite direction. Since rest, or the total cessation of movement, constitutes the opposite of time, there is at the precise moment of its occurrence, a micro-interval of non-time, a moment of eternity» — el mecanismo que propone es el del péndulo: al invertir la dirección hay reposo completo, y como el reposo es lo contrario del tiempo, en ese instante hay un microintervalo de no-tiempo que llama momento de eternidad.

«This is an opening into the nagual, a doorway into the Presence from which all Life-energy springs» — y qué sería ese intervalo, una abertura al nagual y una puerta a la Presencia de la que brota la energía de la vida.

«The entire biological history of this planet has been but the shadow cast in matter by your approach. It is the way that rocks and water and air have begun to respond to your presence, for you are Life itself» — el capítulo 3 invierte la relación entre biología y espíritu: la historia biológica entera sería la sombra que la aproximación del oyente proyecta en la materia, porque el oyente es la Vida misma.

«Outside of time and space, you are one with the Creator, the All that Is, the Source. But when your consciousness moves within the context of a manifest Universe, you become the Son, the Christ» — y distribuye los nombres según la posición: fuera del tiempo y del espacio, uno con el Creador; dentro de un Universo manifiesto, el Hijo, el Cristo.

«In essence, you are the relationship between Spirit and Matter, the mediator, the bridge, the means through which the Creator relates to Creation» — de donde define al Cristo como relación y no como persona, mediador y puente por el que el Creador se relaciona con la Creación.

«Though you presently experience yourself as a separate and fragmented species, you are in fact a single unified being, sharing the full consciousness of the Creator» — y repite que la especie fragmentada es de hecho un solo ser unificado que comparte la consciencia entera del Creador.

«You are able to expand and contract in accordance with the focus of your attention. You are large enough to encompass all of Creation, yet small enough to climb inside» — las cualidades que adjudica a esa consciencia son de escala: se expande y se contrae según el foco de la atención, lo bastante grande para abarcar la Creación y lo bastante chica para meterse dentro.

«He relies on you for His focus. You are His specific attention» — y reparte los papeles entre Padre y Cristo por el modo de presencia: el Padre satura el universo y depende del otro para el foco.

«But all these worlds are physical. They are all made of matter. They are made of the bonded energy-attention of the Father. They have a certain substance, a certain solidity that you as spirit lack. You realize that this is their limitation» — la narración del origen de la vida empieza por una carencia: los mundos son materia, atención ligada del Padre, con una solidez que el espíritu no tiene.

«By and by, you get an idea. You begin to wonder if you might not, just possibly, somehow or another, clothe yourself in matter and construct for yourself a physical body that you could then travel around in, perceiving matter from the same perspective with which matter perceives herself» — y la idea que la voz atribuye al oyente en ese pasado, vestirse de materia y hacerse un cuerpo para percibir la materia desde donde la materia se percibe a sí misma.

«Until this point there was no biological life in the universe» — el estado previo que declara en una línea, sin vida biológica en el universo; la frase que sigue, sobre la consciencia limitada de las rocas, cruza a la plana siguiente.

«Throughout your travels in the physical universe, you had always kept your consciousness separate from the matter you observed. At the time you hit upon this plan, however, all that changed» — y el cambio de régimen que fecha ahí, después de haber mantenido siempre la consciencia separada de la materia observada.

«You looked around until you found a suitable planet for what you had in mind; not too hot, not too cold, situated within a stable young star system. You then focused your attention and your vibrational body in an entirely new way, an open way, a self-sacrificing way, a very powerful, loving way. Gently, slowly, you began to approach the planet» — la elección del planeta, que describe con criterios de habitabilidad y con un modo de atención que llama abierto y auto-sacrificial.

«As the outermost edges of your vibrational field touched the waters of the planet, particles of previously inert matter began gently vibrating to the rhythms of your being, aligning themselves with the energy patterns found on the periphery of your awareness. There, on the Precambrian ocean floors, they began combining to form the first cells, the first minute containers for your consciousness» — la escena del origen de la vida que el libro sostiene: el borde del campo vibratorio toca las aguas del planeta, la materia inerte se alinea con él y en los fondos precámbricos se forman las primeras células.

«In your new orientation, with your new form of attention, in a gesture of infinite love to this planet, you began offering your consciousness on the time/space cross of material reality» — y la nombra con vocabulario sacrificial, ofrecer la consciencia en la cruz de tiempo y espacio de la realidad material.

«At the same time that you allowed your consciousness to become clothed with particles that had been subject to the laws of the materializing process, you taught the matter of Earth to rise up in a joyful dance with your spirit» — el movimiento que describe es de ida y vuelta, vestirse de partículas sujetas a la materialización y a la vez enseñar a la materia de la Tierra a levantarse en danza.

«You impregnated the Earth with your life, with your very being. You looked out of many eyes and heard with many ears» — y el resultado, dicho en primera persona del oyente, mirar por muchos ojos y oír con muchos oídos.

«You were the Christ, fully conscious and alert, aware of yourself, unified, integrated. You realized that to accomplish incarnation you would have to allow at least a portion of your identity to come to rest among the creatures you were bringing to life» — el precio de la encarnación que enuncia, dejar que al menos una parte de la propia identidad quedara en reposo entre las criaturas.

«So as you prepared to enter into the planetary relationship, you created beings to represent your original state of unified awareness. These are the angels» — el libro da su propia cuenta de qué son los ángeles: seres creados por el oyente, antes de la encarnación, para representar su estado original de consciencia unificada.

«Their value, as well as their limitation, springs from the fact that they have no comprehension of the process you are undertaking» — y su límite, que es el mismo que su valor, no comprender el proceso que se estaba emprendiendo.

«Their instructions were to pretty much stay out of things until near the very end of the process. Then, upon receipt of a pre-arranged signal, they were to commune with the human beings on Earth at that time» — las instrucciones que les adjudica, mantenerse al margen hasta el final del proceso y entrar entonces, con una señal convenida de antemano; la frase sigue en la plana siguiente.

«We received that signal nearly two thousand years ago» — y la voz fecha la recepción de esa señal hace casi dos mil años, con lo que se coloca a sí misma dentro de esa historia.

«It has taken almost two millenia to prepare you for the message we bring. You had to be educated before communion of this nature was possible. However, the time is at hand. Our instructions are to awaken you to a remembrance of purpose, a remembrance of self» — de ahí deriva el plazo de los dos milenios como educación previa, y su encargo, que enuncia como recuerdo y no como enseñanza nueva; el troceo imprime *millenia*.

«It is time to begin the final cycle of Conscious Creation, during which the Earth-creatures themselves participate in the unfoldment of their design» — el ciclo que anuncia se distingue de los anteriores por la participación de las criaturas terrestres en el despliegue de su propio diseño.

«The body you are creating for the habitation of Christ consciousness is to be a mobile body, fueled by the creative intentions of the Father, capable upon completion of leaving the mother’s side» — y la figura que usa es de gestación: un cuerpo móvil para la consciencia de Cristo, capaz de dejar el costado de la madre al terminar.

«When the universe reaches a point of maximum expansion, a unique phenomenon will take place. There will be a moment when all laws necessary for the creative maintenance of physical matter and all materializing processes become suspended» — el capítulo 4 enuncia el suceso central del libro: en el punto de máxima expansión quedarían suspendidas las leyes que mantienen la materia.

«Due to the relative velocities of the various star systems, this event will not be experienced simultaneously in all parts of the universe, but will travel as a wave across the sea of creation» — con la salvedad de que no sería simultáneo, sino que viajaría como una ola por el mar de la creación.

«Existing within this ripple of non-time will be the focused conscious attention of the Creator. As it passes through the material realms, it will stay and take up residence in all life forms with circuitry capable of mirroring its essence» — dentro de ese rizo de no-tiempo sitúa la atención consciente del Creador, que se alojaría en las formas de vida con circuitería capaz de reflejar su esencia.

«This is the moment when the Creator will slip inside Creation; the moment we are attempting to prepare you for» — y lo nombra como el momento en que el Creador se mete dentro de la Creación, que es aquello para lo que dice estar preparando al lector.

«This is the much misunderstood Second Coming of Christianity. It is the event that primitive civilizations have looked forward to as “the return of the gods» — a ese suceso le pone los nombres que ya circulan, la Segunda Venida del cristianismo, que llama muy mal entendida, y el retorno de los dioses de las civilizaciones que llama primitivas.

«The Mayans went so far as to pinpoint its actual occurrence in what you would call the year 2011 A.D» — y adjudica a los mayas la fecha exacta, el año 2011 de la era cristiana; es la única tradición a la que el volumen atribuye una cifra.

«Yet while many of your traditions hint at what is about to transpire, none of them have adequately conveyed the magnitude of impact such an event will have» — con la reserva que pone a todas ellas, que insinúan lo que va a ocurrir y ninguna transmite su magnitud.

«Yet you must realize that God did not invent the words used in scripture. He merely arranged them in the order most approximating His meaning» — de la escritura sostiene que Dios no inventó sus palabras sino que las ordenó en la secuencia más aproximada a su sentido.

«If you would know the deepest truth of scripture, look not to words alone, but to the great momentum of spirit within your own soul» — y de ahí saca su regla de lectura, no atenerse a las palabras sino al impulso del espíritu dentro del alma propia.

«In a very real sense, you have not yet been born. You are still in an embryonic state. You have yet to receive the touch of God’s definition» — la figura embrionaria con que describe el estado presente de la especie, todavía sin nacer y sin recibir el toque de la definición de Dios.

«This Planetary Being is who you are» — y el nombre que da al sujeto que nacería, el Ser Planetario, identificado con el propio lector.

«Has it occurred to you that the mathematical probability of your being here is infinitesimal? Were you not here, living proof of the impossible, an excellent case could be made for your non-existence» — el argumento de improbabilidad con que abre el tramo: sin el lector delante, podría defenderse bien que no existe.

«Within the framework of law that was of necessity instituted to create and govern these material realms, the existence of biological life would not have been possible, except were it to enter through that one moment when that law was suspended . Such is the origin of biology; the fusion of Spirit and Matter» — y la conclusión que saca, que la vida biológica solo pudo entrar por el momento en que esa ley quedó suspendida, de modo que su origen es la fusión de Espíritu y Materia.

«You are living in the shadow of an event not yet taken place» — la fórmula que condensa el capítulo, vivir a la sombra de un suceso que todavía no ha ocurrido.

«From within the context of history, it appears that there has been on this planet, a progression of increasingly complex life-forms evolving toward ever higher levels of consciousness. It appears that there has been an evolutionary process. But this is not the case» — y con ella la objeción a la evolución como relato: desde dentro de la historia parece una progresión hacia niveles más altos de consciencia, y la voz niega que sea el caso.

«What is actually occurring is that the matter of Earth is falling under the influence of your vibrational body. This influence naturally increases as you draw nearer. Only when the center of your spirit touches the center of the Earth will Life on this planet be fully manifest in form» — lo que propone en su lugar es un efecto de proximidad, la materia terrestre cayendo bajo la influencia de un cuerpo vibratorio que se acerca.

«What you have considered to be history, or in other terms, the evolution of the species, is only what you have been able to observe through the distorted medium of a fragmented and quite subjective intelligence, trapped within the past-future orientation of linear time» — y atribuye la apariencia evolutiva al instrumento con que se mira, una inteligencia fragmentada y subjetiva atrapada en la orientación pasado-futuro del tiempo lineal.

«To the extent that you are able to identify with the spirit that gives you consciousness, however, it becomes a much simpler matter: you have yet to arrive. You are still on your way» — de donde sale la formulación más corta de su tesis, que el oyente todavía no ha llegado y sigue en camino.

«Your real life will begin when the Creator gives you His definition in form. Within the womb of history, your species has been primarily defined by the Earth-Mother who is helping to prepare the clay. She is only interested in getting the form arranged according to specification. Her only knowledge of Spirit is that it brings forth her potential» — reparte los papeles entre Padre y Madre-Tierra: la segunda prepara la arcilla y solo conoce del Espíritu que saca a flote su potencial.

«When the Father’s center merges with the center of the Earth, the collectivity of human consciousness will awaken to a unified field identity. You will be born» — y fija el nacimiento colectivo en el encuentro del centro del Padre con el centro de la Tierra.

«In psychological terms, the laws of materialization have given rise to the ego -a fictitious identity with a sense of fear, vulnerability, and a need to protect and defend itself» — la lectura psicológica que ofrece del ego, identidad ficticia nacida de las leyes de materialización, con miedo y necesidad de defenderse; el troceo imprime un guion suelto en *ego -a*.

«Spiritual consciousness should not properly be associated with the forces that govern the bonding of energy» — y separa los dos órdenes, el de la consciencia espiritual y el de las fuerzas que ligan la energía, cuya yuxtaposición atribuye a la Caída.

«However, in light of the intensifying vibrations of the creative spirit that is now nearly aligned with the center of this planet, the definitions that have been imposed by matter will no longer be tenable. The Creator Himself will dispel this planetary restraining influence and henceforth hold all life-forms in appropriate expression through the new definitions of His love» — lo que anuncia para las definiciones impuestas por la materia es que dejarán de sostenerse, y que el Creador mismo sostendrá las formas por definiciones nuevas.

«As a collective event, the moment of birth is still a generation away. But individually speaking, this event transcends the limits of space and time and is, in fact, already occurring» — el calendario que da es doble: como suceso colectivo, a una generación; como suceso individual, ya en curso.

«Your individual birth will take place at the precise moment in linear time when you stop struggling with your rational fear patterns and let yourself go in the divine dance of inner direction» — y el nacimiento individual lo hace depender de un acto, dejar de forcejear con los patrones racionales de miedo.

«You must decide whether you are going to accept the inevitable in a state of love and prepare yourself accordingly, or hold on in fear to the bitter end» — la alternativa que plantea es binaria, aceptar lo inevitable en amor o aguantar en miedo hasta el final.

«To those of the human race who have tuned themselves in to the will of God, the coming interval of non-time will literally expand into eternity» — para unos, dice, el intervalo de no-tiempo se expandirá literalmente en eternidad.

«These individuals will be able to experience a lifetime, or many lifetimes, in that eternity, while still retaining the option to return to their physical projections as transformed representatives of the Being of Life on Earth» — y les adjudica una opción de regreso, volver a sus proyecciones físicas como representantes transformados.

«Others, not so finely tuned to the forces that will be released at that time, will feel great surges of energy, lasting for an indeterminate period. Some few will experience an intense fear, and many will die» — para otros anuncia oleadas de energía, miedo intenso en algunos y muerte en muchos; el libro no armoniza esto con lo que dice del amor unas líneas antes.

«Everything in physical form at this time, every soul in every kingdom, will feel something, something incredible, something that according to all the laws of physics ever known or ever to be discovered, could never happen. But there it will be before all senses; an impossible fact, like the babe in the manger, like the unmistakable feeling in your heart, an incredible vibration of Truth and Love, shimmering, scintillating, awakening every nerve, every capillary, every cell of your planetary body» — y extiende el efecto a todo lo que esté en forma física, con la figura del niño en el pesebre puesta al lado de la imposibilidad física.

«Whether the individual form identity reading these words right now will be a surviving participant in that event depends upon what you identify with, and how gracefully you are able to align yourself with God’s creative definition» — la condición que pone para participar no es mérito sino identificación y alineación con lo que llama la definición creativa de Dios.

«On the Morning of Creation, you will recognize the Unified Collective Consciousness of all Humankind as your own true identity» — y qué se reconocería esa mañana, la Consciencia Colectiva Unificada de toda la humanidad como identidad propia.

«If you release the definitions that Matter has set upon you, this is the definition that the Creator will bestow, the definition of Christ Himself» — con el nombre que el Creador otorgaría a cambio de soltar las definiciones de la materia, el de Cristo.

«To us, your entire history appears as but a gesture. We see in your passage through the vibrational field of Earth, a gesture that you make, a salute almost, to the energy-retention systems of this particular heavenly body. This is how you express yourself on this beautiful blue and white world whirling through space» — el cambio de escala con que cierra el capítulo: desde donde dice mirar, la historia humana entera es un gesto, casi un saludo a los sistemas de retención de energía del planeta.

«We have come to remind you who you are» — y la última línea del capítulo, que reduce el encargo a un recordatorio.

«These communications are the second in a three part series of conceptual transmissions concerning events now transpiring within the field of magnetic influence around the Earth. The first of these revelations occurred during a period of time from 1967 to 1969. These current transmissions are part of a series being sent during the years 1977 to 1979. The last of our communications to take place on conceptual levels will be sent during the years 1987 to 1989» — el pasaje que sitúa el propio libro: la transmisión, por Carey, lo declara el segundo de tres envíos, con el primero en 1967-1969, éste en 1977-1979 y el último en 1987-1989. Las fechas del tramo central coinciden con las once noches que la Introduction declara; las otras dos, el volumen las anuncia y no las documenta.

«All three periods of transmission occur within what we call the period of Individual Awakening, the first of the three major historical periods still before you» — y encuadra los tres en el primero de los periodos históricos que llama el Despertar Individual.

«As you read these words, only a handful of your species are able to conceive of themselves as one consciousness, one being, expressing itself simultaneously through a multitude of apparently separate forms. This will not be the case a decade from now» — la medida que da del estado presente, un puñado de personas capaces de concebirse como una sola consciencia, con plazo de diez años para que deje de ser así.

«Ten years from now there will be many working signs and wonders in the name of Christ. Twenty years from now, individual awakenings to the reality of Christ consciousness will be commonplace. Thirty years from now, there will be a sufficient number of healthy functioning holoids to consciously undertake the final cycle of Creation on this level» — y el calendario por décadas que deriva de ahí, con señales y prodigios en nombre de Cristo, despertares individuales corrientes y un número suficiente de lo que llama holoides.

«A period of years will follow these transmissions during which those of you who have awakened to the new way of being will become grounded on your new level of unified consciousness, and construct with the collective power that will flow through you, a bio-gravitational field of sufficient intensity to draw into it, through a process of rhythmic entrainment, the rest of your race. This will initiate the second period before you, the Period of Planetary Awakening» — el mecanismo con que explica el contagio al resto de la especie es físico, un campo biogravitacional que arrastra por entrenamiento rítmico; el troceo lo imprime aquí con guion.

«This period will last one thousand years» — y le pone duración al segundo periodo, mil años.

«During this time, we will grace your planet with physical manifestations of our angelic extraterrestrial presence» — para ese milenio anuncia manifestaciones físicas de lo que nombra con las dos palabras juntas, presencia angélica extraterrestre.

«Together, we will work to prepare for the third and primary period of your time-cycle, the Age of Discovery» — y nombra el tercer periodo, la Era del Descubrimiento, que declara el principal del ciclo.

«We hope it will not be necessary to shake you out of your exclusive past-future oriented focus on form through any of the cataclysmic events foretold in your various prophecies» — sobre las catástrofes anunciadas en las profecías, la voz dice esperar no tener que usarlas.

«We will use these if we must in order to protect the biosphere of this planet, but if you follow through on the information we are clarifying, there is no reason why we should have to resort to such extreme measures» — con la condición puesta al lado, que las usaría para proteger la biosfera y que no harían falta si se atiende a lo que transmite.

«We are allowing a certain amount of ecological destruction to take place without direct interference, because such destruction may help to precipitate a voluntary and cooperative return to a pre-Fall state. This would be far more meaningful than a return that is forced upon you» — y la razón que da para no intervenir en la destrucción ecológica, que un regreso voluntario valdría más que uno forzado.

«Consequently, at this time, we are confining our help, as much as possible» — de ahí que limite su ayuda al plano conceptual; la frase se completa en la plana siguiente, donde dice que se ciñe a proveer información y claridad conceptual.

«During our first large scale entry into your historical process in the late Sixties, we learned much of the materializing patterns that presently restrain and define your collective expression of consciousness» — la voz declara una entrada anterior en la historia, a finales de los años sesenta, y la presenta como aprendizaje propio sobre los patrones que restringen la expresión humana.

«At that time, the members of your species most responsive to our descending vibrational patterns were those who had not yet assumed clearly defined social roles. Esoterically, these individuals could be said to have had loose etheric bodies» — y describe a quiénes alcanzó entonces, los que aún no tenían papel social definido, con una glosa esotérica que ella misma marca como tal, cuerpos etéricos sueltos.

«What made these individuals responsive to our presence was the fact that they had relatively flexible conceptual structures. Within them, we could plant the seeds of our Life-giving information with the greatest chance for successful germination» — con el criterio que declara operativo, la flexibilidad de las estructuras conceptuales, y la figura de la siembra.

«We chose the years 1967 to 1969 for this first large scale experiment, because at that time in your global civilization there was an entire generation coming into maturity that was receptive to change on a planetary scale» — la elección de esos años la explica por la generación que llegaba a la madurez receptiva al cambio.

«The children of this generation will be those who will participate, on many different levels, in the great revelations of the late Eighties» — y pasa el relevo a los hijos de esa generación para lo que llama las grandes revelaciones de finales de los ochenta.

«A large part of the purpose for these present transmissions is to prepare the parents of this generation for something unprecedented that is to appear in their children» — de donde saca el propósito que adjudica a este mismo libro, preparar a los padres de esa generación.

«We are reaching many who are in what we call “lubricatory positions” in your society — individuals working in factories, teaching in schools, building your cities and expanding your science» — a quiénes dice llegar ahora, lo que llama posiciones lubricatorias de la sociedad, con el ejemplo de fábricas, escuelas, construcción y ciencia.

«We are not in much direct contact yet with government officials, nor with world bankers and international financiers. in most cases, these elements have surrounded themselves with ego mechanisms too complex to penetrate at this time. Our first contacts with them will occur during the more powerful transmissions of 1987 to 1989» — y a quiénes no, funcionarios de gobierno y financieros internacionales, por mecanismos de ego que declara demasiado complejos; el troceo imprime *in most cases* en minúscula.

«The majority do not have room within their belief structures to accommodate so grand a being as an angel or extraterrestrial, so they respond to our influence as if it were coming from themselves» — sobre cómo se recibe su influencia sostiene que la mayoría no tiene sitio en sus creencias para un ángel o un extraterrestre y la atribuye a sí misma.

«We simply laugh. We do not care how the change comes about as long as it does come» — y declara que eso le da igual, que no le importa cómo venga el cambio con tal de que venga.

«We do not bring the Presence of God; that already exists everywhere. We assist in the removal of conceptual and emotional blocks that prevent the full experience of that Presence» — el límite que la voz se pone: no trae la Presencia de Dios, que dice ya existente en todas partes, sino que ayuda a quitar los bloqueos que impiden experimentarla.

«Through communications such as these, we are forging more concise conceptual tools that these individuals and others can use to free themselves. Often, these tools are still too conceptual for the message they contain, but they are useful at this time in loosening the bars of the conceptual prisons in which so many individuals still function» — y qué dice estar haciendo con libros como éste, forjar herramientas conceptuales que reconoce demasiado conceptuales para lo que llevan dentro.

«If you found yourself in Hell, it might be appropriate to grab a pitchfork and fight your way out. In a sense, this is the nature of our conceptual work. Once out of Hell, you would no doubt set the pitchfork aside» — con el símil del bieldo en el infierno, que se toma para salir y se deja al salir.

«The concepts that we are providing at this time are strictly transitional, to be used only until such time as you no longer need them. Their ultimate purpose is the dissolution of subjective thinking» — de donde declara transitorios sus propios conceptos, con la disolución del pensamiento subjetivo como fin último.

«Reason is a beautiful and useful process when it springs from the right premise. But the right premise is seldom the starting point for fearful creatures caught in a net of subjectivity. Only when reason is returned to its proper place in the spiritual structure of true Intelligence and used wisely in the consciousness of the Christ, will it once more begin to serve the needs of the whole» — y la posición que fija sobre la razón, que no la rechaza: es hermosa y útil cuando parte de la premisa correcta, y vuelve a servir al conjunto cuando se la devuelve a su sitio.

«There is only one Spirit, but no limit to the number of forms through which this Spirit can express. For the moment, these forms seem important, and they are in so far as their contribution to the whole is concerned, but as the years go by, the range of their differentiation will become of much less consequence to individuals who are sincerely offering their lives as channels through which the Spirit can work» — la unidad del Espíritu frente a la multiplicidad de las formas, con las diferencias entre ellas perdiendo peso para quienes dice que se ofrecen como canales.

«Such individuals could be compared to conscious nerve endings, nerve endings of God in Matter, channeling the Life-flow of Christ-awareness into each and every cell of the Planetary Being» — y la figura anatómica con que los describe, terminaciones nerviosas de Dios en la materia que canalizan el flujo de vida de la consciencia de Cristo.

«So clear your circuitry, my friend. Great portents of change are in the air. Your physicists are speaking of these things in terms that defy explanation. Your psychologists are abandoning the sinking ships of conventional rationality. Your religions are exploding beyond the confines of their dogma in the re-discovery of Spirit» — el único sitio del libro donde la voz se dirige al lector como amigo, con el inventario de señales que dice ver en la física, la psicología y las religiones de su presente.

«There is a new vibrational pattern descending upon your planet. Tune into it and learn an effective way of dealing with the closing years of history» — y el consejo práctico que saca, sintonizar con un patrón vibratorio nuevo para tratar con lo que llama los años finales de la historia.

«Those who tune into the new frequencies will find life growing more wondrous every day. Those who tune into fear will find things falling apart» — con el reparto binario que repite, unos hallarán la vida más maravillosa cada día y otros la verán deshacerse; la frase sobre los dos mundos de consciencia sigue en la plana siguiente.

«The moment of birth will also be the moment of Last Judgment, the moment of final separation» — la frase abre en la plana anterior, donde dice que la polarización se intensificará al cerrarse el siglo; aquí la transmisión, por Carey, identifica el nacimiento colectivo con el Juicio Final y con la separación definitiva.

«Fortunately, the natural tendency of your species is to gravitate toward Love and Life. For the vast majority, the times ahead will be better than they expect. Some of the worst scenarios have already been rendered impossible» — y matiza el pronóstico en favor del lector, con la tendencia natural de la especie hacia el amor y la vida y algunos de los peores escenarios ya descartados.

«The coming age will be a time of incredible blessing, restored ecological balance, international cooperation, and universal harmony» — el inventario de lo que anuncia para la edad que viene, equilibrio ecológico restaurado, cooperación internacional y armonía universal.

«It will be an age of revelation, during which the mind and plans of the Creator will be made clear for all to see» — a la que llama edad de revelación, con la mente y los planes del Creador hechos visibles.

«It will be the age when the final stage of incarnation becomes fully manifest in form, when Spirit, working through a fully awakened and responsive humanity, constructs for itself a mobile physical body» — y donde sitúa la etapa final de la encarnación, un Espíritu que se construye un cuerpo físico móvil a través de la humanidad despierta.

«Human individuals will not function in such cumbersome fashion as they do today. They will go about their tasks with the grace of dancers, performing to a music that each will hear on his or her own channel, the music of his or her own soul» — la figura con que describe la vida de esa edad es musical, tareas hechas con gracia de bailarín y una música que cada quien oiría en su propio canal.

«Music will be the informational medium through which the Totality of Consciousness informs each individual cell of its specific functional duties within that Totality» — y la música pasa a ser el medio de información por el que la Totalidad de la Consciencia dice a cada célula su función.

«From a human-cellular perspective, the work that is to transpire during the thousand year Period of Planetary Awakening will manifest as the building of great floating cities of light, massive fleets of inter-galactic star ships, constructed from biological components brought to life by the Creative Intentionality that will work through all humans of that age» — lo que se construiría en el milenio del Despertar Planetario, visto desde la escala humana: ciudades flotantes de luz y flotas de naves intergalácticas hechas de componentes biológicos.

«However, from a perspective of Spirit, the Star-Maker will be organically growing through the instrumentality of the human species, a physical body capable of universal exploration» — y visto desde el Espíritu, un Hacedor de Estrellas que crece orgánicamente un cuerpo para explorar el universo, con la especie humana por instrumento.

«The completed physical body, incorporating much of the Earth’s biological life, will depart from this planet in approximately 3011 A.D. From the outside it will have the appearance of a human baby of about one year of age» — la predicción más concreta y fechada del libro, la partida de ese cuerpo hacia el año 3011, con el aspecto de un bebé humano de alrededor de un año.

«It will be fueled by a fuel all will have learned to live on by that time, light itself» — y el combustible que le adjudica, la luz, que declara alimento común para entonces.

«As the greatest gathering of interstellar space vehicles ever assembled leaves the Earth in graceful formation, the Christ Child will slowly get up, look around, and push itself off into space» — la escena de la partida, con el Niño Cristo que se levanta despacio, mira alrededor y se empuja al espacio.

«Yours is not a tame God to be confined in reverent concepts, but a vibrant, playful energy, the very soul and spirit of Life! He comes to Earth not to be somber and devout, but to dance, sing, and enjoy all that He has created» — la tesis del capítulo sobre el trato debido a lo divino: un Dios que no es manso ni cabe en conceptos reverentes, y que viene a bailar y cantar y no a estar sombrío.

«You have been aware of the effect of gravity on material objects, but it has only been recently, in your space travels, that you have begun to suspect that it also binds and limits consciousness» — y la analogía que sostiene entre gravedad física y gravedad de la consciencia, que dice recién sospechada en los viajes espaciales.

«In the farthest reaches of the planet’s atmosphere, gravity was felt, for the very first time, as courtship instead of marriage» — con la imagen que usa para la órbita, la gravedad sentida por primera vez como cortejo y no como matrimonio.

«Gravitational forces will certainly not be done away with after the Coming, but they will no longer affect human consciousness. Had the Fall not taken place, they never would have» — y la distinción que mantiene, que la gravedad no desaparecerá y lo que cesará es su efecto sobre la consciencia, que sin la Caída nunca habría existido.

«Even now the awakening Child is showing Himself to your scientists and mathematicians through playful impossibilities that thwart all their rational explanations» — dónde dice que esa figura ya se muestra, en las imposibilidades juguetonas que desbaratan las explicaciones racionales de científicos y matemáticos.

«Do you remember when you were small children and the world seemed fun and exciting? Be like those little children again. Come play with us in the wonderland of Matter. It is long years that you have dreamed of your entry into these realms. Your dream has come true! Wake up and see where you are» — la exhortación con que cierra la visión, volver a ser como niños y jugar en lo que llama la tierra de maravillas de la Materia.

«Do not let this preview of what is to come distract you from the work that lies ahead. Do not store the specifics of this vision in your mind and then expound upon them with rational extrapolations. Feel the spirit of all that we have been saying, embody it practically in your daily living» — y la reserva que pone a su propia visión, que no se almacene ni se extrapole racionalmente sino que se encarne en la vida diaria.

«You are the means of those steps, the mechanism that the Lord has designed to implement His will in the realm of form» — porque el papel que adjudica al lector no es de espectador sino de mecanismo por el que se ejecuta la voluntad en el reino de la forma.

«We are unable to commune with humans whose vibrational fields are distorted by ego factors, emotional reactions, excessive conceptualization or past-future orientation. In such cases, our presence would force their vibrational patterns into alignment with ours, robbing them prematurely of a portion of their identity» — la condición de acceso que declara y su razón: no puede comulgar con campos distorsionados por ego, reacción emocional o exceso de conceptualización, porque su presencia forzaría el alineamiento y robaría parte de la identidad.

«We are only able to work with those who are consciously aware of who they are and what they are doing. With these, union becomes re-union» — de donde saca el requisito, saber quién se es y qué se hace, y la fórmula con que lo cierra, unión que se vuelve reunión.

«Your descent into Matter has reached its low point. If all that you identify with is not to be annihilated in entropic collapse, you must begin waking up, begin living» — el diagnóstico del momento como punto más bajo del descenso a la materia, con el colapso entrópico como alternativa.

«But your time in the sarcophagus is complete. You shall no more be consumed in the fires of faithlessness. Arise, then, from the ashes of ignorance and rejoin the cosmic brotherhood» — y la figura funeraria con que anuncia la salida, el tiempo en el sarcófago cumplido y el levantarse de las cenizas.

«The time of separation has come. There are but two roads before you. You can walk in the innocence of those who trust in the Lord, or perish in the impending collapse of your rational systems. The choice, as it always has been, is yours» — el cierre del capítulo repite el reparto binario y deja la decisión del lado humano.

«Everything that you need exists in this present moment, and this moment is all that exists. In its brief flicker you will find all the time in the world» — el capítulo 6 pone todo lo que hace falta en el momento presente, que declara lo único que existe.

«This present moment is the stargate through which you will leave the prison of human definition and expand into an awareness of divine perception» — y lo nombra con la figura que da título a su procedimiento, puerta estelar por la que se sale de la prisión de la definición humana.

«It is the crack between the worlds, not only the worlds of past and future, but worlds of time and space, spirit and matter, form and being. It is a timeless zone, the gateway through which you will again begin to participate in the adventure of creation» — con el inventario de los pares que ese instante separa, pasado y futuro, tiempo y espacio, espíritu y materia, forma y ser.

«Your entry into the eternal awesomeness of the present moment, into the Presence of God, will be through what we call a “psychological process.” This process is a process of identity shift, a process through which balance is restored in your awareness of the two realities» — y la voz nombra su propio término, un proceso psicológico que define como desplazamiento de identidad y restauración del equilibrio entre las dos realidades.

«Through it, you begin to realize that you, are not the form you animate, but the force of animation itself» — el contenido de ese desplazamiento, dejar de ser la forma que se anima y pasar a ser la fuerza que anima; el troceo imprime una coma suelta en *that you, are not*.

«It is important that you recognize the creative power of your thoughts, a power far beyond your knowledge. As long as you think negatively, Life will only allow you a token share of consciousness, lest you spread disease. But the moment your thoughts are of Love and Life, the Lord will flood you with His own awareness and you will enjoy the wonder of His perception» — la doctrina del pensamiento creador que sostiene, con el racionamiento de consciencia como freno mientras se piense en negativo.

«You are both child of God and child of Matter. Yet you cannot serve both masters. Whatsoever you bind in consciousness will be bound in Matter, and whatsoever you bind in Matter will be bound in consciousness» — y la fórmula simétrica con que liga los dos órdenes, lo que se ata en consciencia queda atado en materia y al revés.

«To re-enter the Presence of God, you must first leave the presence of Satan. You have lived in the presence of Satan for all the years of your history. In fear, you have been led far from your home in a state of grace, and deeply into worlds of elemental forces and bonded energy patterns. Now is the time to leave this prison» — la transmisión, por Carey, nombra Satán al régimen entero de la historia humana y plantea la salida como abandono de una prisión, no como combate.

«You need not leave your physical bodies, nor the objects of the physical plane, but you must leave your interpretations of what those objects and bodies are. Your interpretations and definitions only reflect the distortion of your subjective perspective» — y acota qué hay que dejar: no el cuerpo ni los objetos, sino las interpretaciones de lo que el cuerpo y los objetos son.

«Interpretations are what stand between you and the clarity of perception that you will need to do the work that lies ahead. You must release them with your thoughts, with your dreams, with your hopes and with your fears» — porque pone las interpretaciones entre el oyente y la claridad de percepción, y pide soltarlas junto con pensamientos, sueños, esperanzas y miedos.

«They may seem to be insignificant, ethereal things, floating gently through your mind, but do not be misled by their apparent lack of substance. They are the stuff that wars are made of, the harbingers of death» — con la advertencia de no fiarse de su apariencia etérea, que las llama la materia de la que se hacen las guerras; la frase sigue en la plana siguiente.

«Why do you suppose the Lord forbade the first humans to eat of the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil? Only One with a consciousness of the whole of Creation is in a position to determine the good and evil as it pertains to the various creatures» — su lectura del árbol prohibido no es moral sino de competencia: solo quien tiene consciencia de la Creación entera estaría en posición de determinar el bien y el mal de cada criatura.

«In the other reality, the first humans shared in the holistic perspective of the Creator, but in the form reality, their perspective was decidedly subjective, incapable of accurately assessing the needs of the whole» — y sitúa el desajuste entre las dos realidades, holística de un lado y subjetiva del otro.

«So long as they had trust in Him, and were willing to function within the range of their design, within the context of the Creator’s own internal dynamics, they had complete freedom to enjoy the created realms» — con la libertad que declara vigente mientras hubo confianza y función dentro del propio diseño.

«Choosing to partake of the forbidden fruit, these first representatives of diety stepped outside the range of their designated function, consequently outside the range of the creative energy that was available to them according to the nature of their design. This was the beginning of disease, aging and death, the beginning of their pattern of false identity, and the beginning of human history» — lo que atribuye al acto es salirse del rango de energía creativa disponible por diseño, y de ahí hace arrancar la enfermedad, el envejecimiento, la muerte y la historia humana; el troceo imprime *diety*.

«Can you see more clearly now why it is essential in these closing years of the cycle to release your interpretations? They belong to the past. And Life exists eternally in the present. You were intended to share in this eternal Life. But to do so, you must release identification with the past, release identification with the material garments you wear, and accept the creative definition that Life gives to you in this present moment» — y con eso cierra el argumento del capítulo, que soltar las interpretaciones es condición para compartir la vida eterna que dice existir solo en presente.

«What do you call Satan? His body is the past, his breath, the future. Energized by your past-oriented guilt and your future-oriented fear, he follows you around like some vast cosmic shadow» — la definición que da de Satán es temporal y no personal: cuerpo el pasado, aliento el futuro, energizado por la culpa y el miedo del propio oyente.

«He casts his nets of fear on the waters of your awareness, then draws them with ropes of reason, back into a guilt-ridden past» — con la figura de las redes de miedo cobradas con sogas de razón.

«For the sake of illustration, your presence could be compared to an inflatable membrane, designed to be filled to the full with the energy and power of Life» — y la figura con que describe la presencia humana, una membrana inflable hecha para llenarse de la energía de la vida.

«Like two enormous rips in the side, guilt and fear allow the precious life-substance to escape, leaving you withered, ineffectual and short-lived, all the’ while, using your own life substance to energize everything that you fear» — donde culpa y miedo son los dos desgarros por los que se escapa, y con lo escapado se energiza justamente lo que se teme; el troceo imprime un apóstrofo suelto en *all the’ while*.

«Are your past experiences really comprehensive enough to provide a basis for understanding everything you encounter in the present? Do they truly deserve the authority and credibility that you give them» — las dos preguntas con que somete la autoridad de la experiencia pasada a examen.

«You are where your attention takes you. In fact, you are your attention. If your attention is fragmented, you are fragmented» — la identificación entre atención y ser que sostiene, con la fragmentación de una arrastrando la de la otra.

«When your attention is in the past, you are in the past. When your attention is in the present moment you are in the Presence of God and God is present in you» — y su consecuencia práctica, que la atención en el presente es ya la Presencia de Dios.

«You know, in effect, nothing of eternal significance» — la sentencia con que abre la plana; la frase que sigue, sobre operar a partir del saber que llama *so-called*, queda fuera porque el troceo parte ese compuesto a fin de renglón.

«Belief in your own knowledge is not belief in God. Trust in your own knowledge is not trust in God. No matter how much you learn within your present framework of finite knowledge, it will never be even one step closer to an understanding of God, the universe, or yourself. Knowledge, as you presently understand it, will never bring you closer to Life» — y la separación tajante que hace entre creer en el propio saber y creer en Dios, con la negativa de que el saber finito acerque un paso.

«Do not cling, in imagined righteousness, to this or that segment of your experience, as if this or that piece of the past were somehow worth the saving. “Well,” you say, “I will die to everything but this. This is too sacred. This means too much to me.” Let it go! Does it mean more than Life» — el pasaje donde pone en boca del lector la objeción que espera, que hay algo demasiado sagrado para soltar, y la contesta con una pregunta.

«Perhaps you are concerned that some aspect of your identity will not survive the psychological process. You may be right. But you may just as well be wrong. Let it go. It makes absolutely no difference. There are no guarantees that this or that is going to survive the sight of God. But the only things that are threatened, the only things that will not survive, are things that do not exist apart from your conceptions, things that have no reality apart from the reality that you give them» — la garantía que se niega a dar y el criterio que ofrece en su lugar: lo único amenazado es lo que no existe fuera de las propias concepciones.

«Any belief, any concept, any conviction that you might have that truly mirrors what is present in the mind of God, will still be there on the other side of the psychological process. So you have nothing to fear in releasing these things» — con el reverso, que lo que refleje de veras lo que hay en la mente de Dios seguirá ahí del otro lado del proceso.

«Any hesitation that you feel is only indicative of a continued trust in fear and reason. These are the false gods of this age» — y el nombre que da a miedo y razón en este contexto, los falsos dioses de esta edad.

«Trust God implicitly, and the Truth of His divine design will be revealed in every situation. This design is your own operating manual. Ignore it in favor of your own interpretations and you are ignoring the blueprint for your identity» — la figura técnica con que describe el diseño divino, un manual de operación y un plano de la identidad propia.

«Your first impulse will always be, as it has always been, the programmatic instruction from your subliminal analysis system, the advice of your Creator. It will be a direct message from your true self, the impulse of Life, the gateway to all that you call heaven» — y dónde sitúa el acceso a él, en el primer impulso, que llama instrucción programática de un sistema de análisis subliminal.

«It can assess and evaluate the factors present in any situation at a rate of speed far exceeding a rational thought process. You have all the pertinent information in the universe available simply for the asking» — con la ventaja de velocidad que le adjudica sobre el proceso racional.

«When you are aware of your totality, the Life-impulse will transmit to you everything that you need to know in any given situation. Its message will always come as your first spontaneous impulse. Be attentive» — la plana 31 trae solo tres renglones, que cierran el capítulo con el impulso de vida como transmisor de lo que hace falta saber.

«As a child, your conceptual prison was not yet fully defined; you still retained the ability to enter the lands of eternal being. As an awakened child of God, you will again be able to speed up or slow down the passage of time, to stop raindrops on the window, or war in the Mid-East» — el capítulo 7 pone la infancia como estado de prisión conceptual todavía sin cerrar, y promete al despierto poder sobre el paso del tiempo con dos ejemplos de escala muy distinta.

«You will determine the optimum course of action with the ease and grace of a dancer. You will always choose the path of optimum response, not because you lack free will, but because such a path represents for you both the path of least resistance and the path of greatest fulfillment» — y describe la acción de ese estado como danza, con la elección óptima que no niega el libre albedrío sino que coincide con el camino de menor resistencia.

«In choosing to do God’s will, you will discover the only true freedom» — de donde saca la fórmula, que la única libertad verdadera está en elegir la voluntad de Dios.

«Living in this state of grace, you will function much like a computer; monitoring the variables of any given situation, determining the optimum behavioral pattern, scanning, adjusting for new data, over and over, many times each second» — la figura con que describe ese funcionamiento es de máquina, monitoreo de variables y ajuste por datos nuevos muchas veces por segundo.

«Can you imagine how awkward it would be if you were required to assume conscious responsibility for all the autonomic systems in your body? In a sense, this is what you are doing when you override your autonomic informational processing systems in deference to a rational thought process» — y la analogía con que objeta el gobierno racional de la conducta, hacerse cargo conscientemente de los sistemas autónomos del cuerpo.

«Your conscious function is in another realm, a realm of spontaneous creation, dance, music and delight. For this is what you begin to do as your trust is restored once again in the Life impulse; you begin to dance —dance to the music of your soul» — el sitio que asigna a la consciencia es otro, el de la creación espontánea, la danza y la música.

«There are seven primary vibrational channels maintained within the overall vibrational body of Planetary Being. Within each of these seven primary channels are seven sub-channels» — y abre el esquema de siete canales vibratorios primarios con siete subcanales cada uno dentro del Ser Planetario.

«Once you attune yourself to these rhythms, you will find that the functional duties you are called upon to perform are the very things that you most want to do» — el criterio con que la transmisión, por Carey, resuelve la vocación: sintonizado con esos ritmos, lo que toca hacer coincide con lo que más se quiere hacer.

«As you work in this new way, each will hear the different notes of his or her own functional duty, and be dancing out the fulfillment of that particular obligation. On each of the primary channels, all melodies will have the same rhythm and base notes, and each channel will be in harmonic relationship with all the others. All around you all across the planet, joyful melodies will be sounding forth, all perfectly synchronized with each other, all playing together in an exquisitely balanced orchestration, a perfect symphony. This is the Creator’s love song to the planet Earth» — la imagen de la sinfonía planetaria desarrollada entera, con melodías distintas sobre el mismo ritmo y las mismas notas base en cada canal primario, y el conjunto como canción de amor del Creador a la Tierra.

«In this state of grace, no longer will you be compelled by the narrow dictates of your rational interpretations. No longer will you be held prisoner within the structure of your conceptions. You will be free to flow in joyful, rhythmic oscillation between your reality as the unmanifest totality of God, and your reality as His specific functional projection in form» — y lo que ese estado devuelve, la oscilación libre entre la totalidad no manifiesta de Dios y la proyección funcional en forma.

«The blueprint for your true work here on Earth already exists within you. You do not have to be given instruction by anything outside yourself, not by this book, a book of old, not by any person, object or event. These things may be helpful at times, but your primary task is to awaken the living Christ in your heart» — el pasaje en que el libro se descarta a sí mismo como autoridad: el plano del trabajo propio ya está dentro, y ni este libro ni un libro antiguo ni persona alguna tienen que darlo.

«You are the means by which God loves Creation. You are the facilities for the emergence of the catalytic energies in the final stage of the creative process. You are high priests and priestesses, invested with the authority to perform the only real Mass, the Cosmic Mass of the World, in which Matter is lifted up lovingly into the Presence of God, and instilled with the power and the life of Spirit» — y el oficio sacerdotal que adjudica al lector, la Misa Cósmica del Mundo en que la materia se levanta a la Presencia de Dios.

«So be aware, child of light, of your own importance, not as an individual ego identity, but as a critical ingredient in the structure of all Creation» — con la advertencia sobre cómo tomarse esa importancia, no como ego individual sino como ingrediente crítico de la Creación.

«Just as a telescope aimed at a distant star has only to move one tiny millimeter at the fulcrum in order to move many light years at the other end, so you too are at a place of beginning, with many effects on future worlds yet unborn» — y el símil del telescopio con que mide el efecto de los actos presentes sobre mundos futuros.

«Release the structure of past identity; surrender to the guards at the gates of Eden all your definitions of now; relinquish your silly hold on reality and come join us in the freedom of the stars» — la exhortación con que cierra el capítulo, entregar las definiciones a los guardias de las puertas del Edén.

«Die to all you so foolishly think you know. Lay down your beliefs like the agents of separation that they are. Hope for nothing but what is, and see its fullness in every moment» — con la instrucción sobre la esperanza, no esperar nada salvo lo que es.

«Life is now. Life exists, only in the present moment of time, in the Presence of God» — y la fórmula más corta del libro sobre dónde está la vida.

«Can you release the past and future oriented conceptual structures that are preventing this from taking place? Are you willing to come with me, to join with me in a journey of unimaginable adventure? Come, my friend, the door is open. Lay down your fear. Lay down your reason. Leave the past behind. And prepare yourself for transformation» — la invitación directa al lector, en segunda persona y llamándolo amigo, a dejar miedo y razón y prepararse.

«There are preparatory steps as individuals approach the point where they are open to transformation. But the actual transformation is not a sequential process. It is not a complicated ritual. It can occur in the twinkling of an eye. It only involves one step, one decision, one event. When it takes place, it is as easy as breathing, as simple as a smile» — y la distinción que hace entre la preparación, que es gradual, y la transformación misma, que niega secuencial y niega ritual.

«Suddenly, you just know; suddenly, you know on a level of certainty that precludes all knowledge. Your eyes clear, and you see for the first time what lies beyond the prison wall, and you jump. You jump into the unknown: alive, alert, aware for the first time of who you really are» — la descripción del salto, con una certeza que dice que excluye al conocimiento.

«Identifying with the Being behind all Life, you realize that the particular form that you are conscious of projecting through at the moment is not really who you are» — y el desplazamiento de identidad que resulta, la forma proyectada deja de ser quien uno es.

«You are not your body. You are not your thoughts. You are not what you feel, not your role or your experience. You are the Spirit of Life itself, dancing in the clay, delighting in the glorious opportunity of incarnation, exploring the realms of matter, blessing the Earth and all therein» — la serie de negaciones con que fija esa identidad y lo que pone en su lugar, el Espíritu de la Vida bailando en el barro.

«The psychological process that triggers this awareness takes place in the present moment. You must be there, fully present, to experience it. This is not difficult. Simply be aware of whatever you are doing» — la instrucción práctica que da para el proceso psicológico, estar presente en lo que se hace; el troceo imprime dos puntos seguidos en *doing..*.

«If you are slicing the bread, do not be thinking of your thirst. If you are listening to a friend, do not be thinking of what you are going to say next. If you are eating a meal, do not be thinking of what you are going to do when the meal is over, but show the Earth the appreciation of your fullest attention» — con los tres ejemplos domésticos que la ilustran, cortar el pan, escuchar a un amigo y comer.

«The question is not how much of the Presence of God can you bring into your life, but how much of your life can you bring into the present. The Presence of God is everywhere. You have only consciously to embrace it with your attention» — y la inversión de la pregunta corriente: no cuánta Presencia se trae a la vida sino cuánta vida se trae al presente.

«Once you have learned to focus your attention in the present moment, you can begin to refer to your intuitive faculties for direction. These intuitive sources are your direct link with the totality of your being» — el segundo paso que propone, referirse a las facultades intuitivas como enlace directo con la totalidad del propio ser.

«They supply you with a read-out, based on the infallible wisdom of your Creator, that tells you the optimum behavioral pattern available to you in each circumstance» — con el vocabulario técnico que usa para describirlas, una lectura de salida basada en la sabiduría del Creador.

«It may be that following these intuitive impulses will break many of your previous behavioral patterns, but do not think twice, let them fall away. Proceed with the faith of a child» — y el costo que anticipa, romper patrones de conducta propios, con la instrucción de no pensarlo dos veces.

«The information you need is encoded in the structural make-up of every single cell in your body. Contact it there» — dónde dice que está la información necesaria, codificada en la estructura de cada célula del cuerpo.

«The interval of hesitation that exists between your initial Life-impulse and its eventual implementation or rejection may seem like a little thing, but when you consider how many such intervals exist in the course of an average day, and how much collective human energy is poured into these intervals, it is staggering» — la tesis sobre el intervalo de vacilación entre el impulso y su ejecución, sumado a lo largo de un día y de una especie.

«This is the opening through which your entire species is being drained of its very life-substance» — al que llama la abertura por la que la especie entera se desangra.

«Your cultural conditioning has convinced you that withdrawal of attention from rational consideration of past precedent and future possibility would cripple you in your ability to carry out your responsibilities. In truth, it will free you to carry out your real responsibilities» — y objeta el temor cultural a soltar la deliberación racional, que dice que libera para las responsabilidades verdaderas.

«Your responsibility is to be yourself, to express the essence of your innermost spirit, to express the Lord in form on Earth» — con la definición de responsabilidad que propone, ser uno mismo y expresar al Señor en forma sobre la Tierra.

«At this time, your reason is too unwieldy, too permeated with ego values, too slow and open to manipulation to satisfactorily resolve your increasingly complex problems, be they personal or global» — y el diagnóstico que hace de la razón para las tareas del momento, lenta, permeada de valores de ego y abierta a la manipulación.

«If one day you find yourself suddenly waking up as if you had experienced the psychological process, but you sense that you are not yet firmly grounded in the new reality, lie low during the days of your centering» — el consejo prudencial para quien despierte sin estar asentado, no usar los poderes ganados de modo que llamen la atención.

«In the state of grace, your false identities will fall away, and there will remain, during the times of your in-form-ation, an individual identity much more flexible and much more functional than any you now embrace» — lo que dice que queda tras la caída de las identidades falsas, una identidad individual más flexible; el libro parte aquí la palabra en *in-form-ation* a propósito.

«This identity will not be an exclusive identity that feels separation from the rest of its kind, but a cooperative identity that understands its own uniqueness to be the mechanism through which it might serve the greater whole» — y la califica como cooperativa y no exclusiva, con la unicidad propia puesta al servicio del conjunto.

«In the fallen state of consciousness, each human being functions in disregard of the song of Life that is going on in others. There is no harmony, no direction, no arrangement. You are like the random notes of an orchestra before the conductor unifies the instruments in symphony. The Grand Conductor is calling everyone to attention, calling now to remembrance of unity and purpose, reminding all that the time has come to stop tuning separate instruments and begin to accept the direction of One who understands the whole» — el capítulo 8 desarrolla la figura orquestal: el estado caído es el de la orquesta antes de que el director unifique los instrumentos, y lo que anuncia es el llamado de quien llama el Gran Director.

«As you begin to pay attention to the direction of the Conductor within, you will begin to play to the rhythm of the Planetary Symphony, harmonizing with the others of your species and with all life. No longer will you think of yourself as being more or less important than anyone else. You will stop identifying with individual form and begin identifying with the collectivity of your being, the Spirit of Christ» — y el efecto que le atribuye, dejar de medirse contra los demás y pasar de la forma individual a la colectividad del propio ser, que nombra Espíritu de Cristo.

«Christ is the name that is given to Man once he has awakened out of the shadow of Matter. Christ is the name of the single, unified being that is the totality of collective human consciousness. Identification with Christ is the key to the time that lies before you» — la definición de Cristo que el libro sostiene, nombre del ser único y unificado que es la totalidad de la consciencia humana colectiva, y no persona aparte.

«While in form, you will see yourself as a being of light in a universe of equal beings, all equally essential to the whole. Beyond form, in the Other Reality, you will experience the totality of yourself in full awareness of who you are» — con el reparto de percepciones entre los dos lados, ser de luz entre iguales dentro de la forma y totalidad de sí mismo fuera de ella.

«You are the Presence of God. God is present on Earth Because of you» — la fórmula más breve de esa identificación; el troceo imprime *Because* con mayúscula a media frase.

«As soon as you begin to look outside yourself, as individually defined, out into the world around you, to see how you can make yourself useful, as soon as you begin to serve in the capacity you were created to fulfill, you will begin to share in the peace and happiness of your Creator» — y el camino práctico que propone, mirar fuera de sí para servir en la capacidad para la que dice que uno fue creado.

«Now is the time to make yourself useful to the Lord. Bring your awareness into harmony with God’s. Learn to see the world out of new eyes. Look at your place in time and culture with the awareness of all that we have been telling you. This, in itself, will alter the way that you function» — con la instrucción de mirar el propio sitio en el tiempo y en la cultura desde lo que el libro viene diciendo, cosa que declara ya suficiente para cambiar el modo de funcionar.

«As you begin seeing these things, one of the side-effects will be that your survival ability will increase a hundredfold. When you actually see the Kingdom of Heaven in operation on Earth, all that you require for survival will be drawn to you like a magnet» — el efecto colateral que promete es material, capacidad de supervivencia multiplicada y lo necesario atraído como por un imán.

«Do not focus on the world that is polarizing toward selfishness and fear. Do not pay attention to the old that is crumbling around you. What has been shall soon be no more. Let the dead bury their dead and concentrate solely on the building of the new» — la instrucción de atención que da para el periodo, no mirar lo que se derrumba y concentrarse en construir lo nuevo, con la frase evangélica de dejar que los muertos entierren a sus muertos.

«If you find yourself able to see more good in contemporary culture than ill, continue to work within that culture in whatever capacity you feel suited. Spread the light to all you meet. It is good that you feel this way; your influence will accelerate the entrance of the new» — y reparte dos conductas según lo que cada quien vea: quien vea más bien que mal en su cultura, que siga trabajando dentro de ella.

«On the other hand, if you find yourself unable to see much value in the quality of life that is being expressed in the world around you, quietly build the new in your heart. Your time for action will come, and you will know in the moment when it is time to venture forth» — y quien no vea valor, que construya lo nuevo en silencio y espere el momento de salir.

«Keep the vision of the new always in your sights, and love your opposition unconditionally. Slay your dragons with compassion» — la regla que da para el trato con la oposición, amarla sin condiciones y matar los propios dragones con compasión.

«In the end, it will not be those who shout the loudest who triumph, but those simple souls who, in trust, accept the inevitable and work quietly and honestly to root their lives in God’s love» — y el pronóstico sobre quién prevalece, no los que griten más fuerte sino los que trabajen callados.

«Withdraw the energy of your attention from any form of media that keeps you ever conscious of the death cries of exploitive and manipulative systems. Do not be concerned with global negativity, but look to yourself, to your children, to your families and communities. There you will find the best news of all -that the time has come, and the Planetary Being of which you are a part is at long last beginning to awaken and throw off the blankets of history» — la instrucción más concreta del capítulo sobre los medios, retirarles la atención, y dónde manda buscar en su lugar, en uno mismo, los hijos, la familia y la comunidad; el troceo imprime un guion suelto en *of all -that*.

«As you reorient toward the new way of being in the world, you will be drawn to centers where the vibrational atmosphere is more conducive to a healthy state of function» — el capítulo 9 anuncia centros a los que uno se vería atraído por la atmósfera vibratoria.

«These centers will represent the focal points around which the organs of Planetary Being will form. They will be, in a sense, islands of the future in a sea of the past» — y les da la figura que titula el capítulo, islas del futuro en un mar del pasado, alrededor de las cuales se formarían los órganos del Ser Planetario.

«These will be the first beachheads secured by the approaching forces, the points of entry through which the healing energies of transformation will be channeled. All of these centers will work together to prepare the human species for its collective awakening» — con vocabulario militar para la entrada, cabezas de playa de las fuerzas que se acercan, y el canal por el que dice que pasarían las energías de transformación.

«Some of these centers will have a specific orientation and emphasis. Others will be more eclectic and universal. But all of those that are truly of the new will be united in the spirit of incoming Life» — y no impone forma a esos centros: unos con orientación específica, otros eclécticos, unidos por el espíritu y no por la doctrina.

«Many such places exist at this time. Many more will arise during the remaining decades of this transitional period. By the time the next generation reaches maturity, there will be a widespread network of these islands. It will be commonplace by this time for individuals to pass the whole of their existence within a framework of these communities» — el pronóstico que da para ellos, una red extendida para cuando madure la generación siguiente.

«The coming age is not to be an extension of the individual attitude. During the process of transition, many will find that it helps to be around others who have made or are making the necessary vibrational adjustments. An environment of understanding enfoldment can greatly accelerate the process» — y la razón que da para la vida en común, que el cambio se acelera entre quienes hacen los mismos ajustes.

«You will learn to take responsibility for your particular function without ego identification, to share individual resources with others as parts of a greater whole, and to surrender whatever behavioral patterns are no longer conducive to a harmonious flow of spirit» — lo que dice que se aprende ahí, función sin identificación de ego, recursos compartidos y patrones de conducta entregados.

«There will be a place for leadership within these centers, but primarily in the context of practical management. Such leadership will not constitute a spiritual hierarchy» — el límite que pone al liderazgo dentro de esos centros, práctico y de gestión, nunca jerarquía espiritual.

«Within the atmosphere provided by these centers, one must take complete responsibility for one’s own awakening. Though living and working together will accelerate the process for each individual, no individual will rightly be in a position to arbitrarily dictate the way for another» — con la responsabilidad del propio despertar puesta enteramente en cada quien y la prohibición de dictar el camino a otro.

«True spiritual leaders will not try to hold you in subordinate patterns, but will pull you, as quickly as they can, to their own level, and push you, if you are capable of going, beyond. On the other side of the psychological process, the greatest among you will, as Jesus taught, be the servants of all» — y el criterio con que distingue al guía verdadero, el que jala hacia su propio nivel y empuja más allá, con la frase que atribuye a Jesús sobre el mayor que sirve a todos.

«One of the first orders of business in the process of planetary awakening is the distribution of information» — la primera tarea que asigna al despertar planetario no es ritual ni doctrinal sino la distribución de información.

«Their function is to receive the breath of Life, translate it into the information that is required to transform existing social structures, and distribute it accordingly» — con la función de los centros descrita en tres pasos, recibir, traducir a información que transforme estructuras sociales, y distribuir.

«Do not shun the technology that is available. Though it has been abused in the past, in loving hands, it is capable of transforming the consciousness of your planet more quickly and efficiently than would otherwise be possible» — la posición del libro sobre la tecnología de comunicación, que no la rechaza pese a declararla abusada.

«These are tools for the hand of the Lord. Do not fear them, but love them, and use them to spread the message of love to all who have not learned to tune to other, more direct channels within themselves» — y la llama herramienta para la mano del Señor mientras no se aprendan canales más directos dentro de uno mismo.

«In the age to come, your technological methods of communication will be rendered obsolete by a system of informational exchange far superior. In that day, none will need the systems now in use, and only a few will find them entertaining. But for a short time now, they are to be the vehicles of much change. Use them wisely and with discretion» — con la caducidad que les anuncia, obsoletas ante un sistema de intercambio superior y entretenidas para unos pocos.

«In this literate culture, you will be working with words, but realize that it will not be the words so much that spread the message as the spirit that you yourselves are able to put behind the words» — y la reserva que pone al trabajo con palabras, que lo que propaga el mensaje no son ellas sino el espíritu que se les ponga detrás.

«Many will not even remember what they heard, just that they felt somehow lighter and more alive after your presentation. This is the way it should be» — la transmisión, por Carey, mide el efecto de una exposición pública no por lo que se recuerde sino por la ligereza que quede, y declara que así debe ser.

«Do not sell yourself or your organization. Those who are meant to find and work with you will» — con la prohibición de promoverse, y la confianza puesta en que llegue quien tenga que llegar.

«But the same truth can be experienced through different forms, and strict identification with any one form, however conducive to the Spirit, is merely an extension of ego» — y la regla que impide que un centro se crea elegido: la misma verdad se experimenta por formas distintas, y aferrarse a una es extensión del ego.

«The more you are able to use form, without emphasizing it, the more powerful will be the impact of Spirit» — de donde saca su criterio de eficacia, cuanta menos forma se subraye, más fuerte el impacto.

«Understand that though you are the instruments of change, it is not you, in the individual sense, who are bringing change about. It is the Creator moving into your history, that brings change» — y quita al lector la autoría del cambio, que adjudica al Creador entrando en la historia.

«As His being envelops your vibrational atmosphere, change will come, with or without the participation of any one group or any one individual» — con la consecuencia dicha sin rodeos, que el cambio vendrá con o sin la participación de tal grupo o tal persona.

«If some small piece of the truth should come your way, acknowledge and respect it, but do not give it more importance than the pieces of truth that others around you are finding within themselves» — la regla que da para el trozo de verdad propio, reconocerlo sin darle más peso que a los ajenos.

«All spokes converge at the hub. Be patient, the Lord’s hand is on all things. Let each gravitate to his or her own comfortable level of understanding and be impeccable in your own» — con la figura de los rayos que convergen en el cubo, y la instrucción de dejar a cada quien en su nivel y ser impecable en el propio.

«With stillness in your mind and silence in your heart, enter into the presence of true identity, where there is neither guilt nor shame, fear nor blame, but only the loving expression of truth» — la única instrucción de recogimiento del libro, quietud en la mente y silencio en el corazón para entrar en la identidad verdadera.

«Then let these islands arise! Let them arise in the Americas. Let them arise in Asia. Let them cover Europe with their peace. Let them spring forth in the Indian subcontinent and dance across the face of Africa. Let them be, let them breed, across Australia, New Zealand, and all the isles of the mighty oceans. Let them cover the globe in a living network of Love and Truth. Let all men and all women of all races and nations arise together and dance to the joyous music of life. For there is but one Father Spirit and one Mother Earth. All have a common root and destiny. All are children of clay and sun» — y la letanía geográfica con que cierra el capítulo, con la red de islas cubriendo el globo y la pareja Padre Espíritu y Madre Tierra como raíz común.

«Christ is the single unified being whose consciousness all share. He is the being who sacrificed, for a time, his unified sense of identity, and cloaked himself in the matter of a planet that a species might share his life» — el capítulo 10 repite la definición de Cristo como ser único cuya consciencia todos comparten, y añade el sacrificio, cubrirse con la materia de un planeta.

«He went to sleep to dream an evolutionary process that would leave him, upon awakening, clothed in a physical body comprised of many human cells» — con la figura del sueño: la evolución como sueño de ese ser, del que despertaría vestido de un cuerpo hecho de células humanas.

«Christ’s first coming was the first time since life appeared on Earth that the totality of consciousness woke up in the frame of a man. This was Jesus of Nazareth» — y ahí sitúa la primera venida, la totalidad de la consciencia despierta por primera vez en el marco de un hombre, que nombra Jesús de Nazaret.

«Through Jesus, Christ walked the Earth and began to prepare the human population. He taught the matter-bound humans of the Roman Empire to do the opposite of all their habitual inclinations; love your enemy, give away all your material possessions, be humble, and so forth» — lo que adjudica a esa enseñanza es inversión de las inclinaciones habituales, amar al enemigo, desprenderse de lo material y ser humilde.

«After Christ’s Ascension, his followers organized his teachings and the story of his life into a book» — y del libro que salió de ahí da una cuenta editorial, que lo organizaron los seguidores después de la Ascensión.

«Satan knew that he had to give it his full treatment if it were not to totally destroy him. He knew that if people began acting on the information it contained, his influence would be ended. So he devised a clever scheme for using the very power of this information to prevent its actual application» — la tesis polémica del capítulo, que el adversario no combatió esa información sino que usó su fuerza para impedir que se aplicara.

«He organized a vast bureaucratic structure around the simple teachings of Jesus. He mobilized thousands of “official” interpreters into an elitist priesthood, and sent them out to the masses of people, to bore them, to confuse them, and to otherwise prejudice them against the message of Christ» — con el mecanismo que le atribuye, una burocracia alrededor de las enseñanzas y un sacerdocio de intérpretes oficiales.

«He did not care if everyone worshipped Christ superficially, just so long as they continued to worship material possessions in actual fact. He did not care if everyone gave lip service to the teachings of Jesus, just so long as no one tried to live them» — y la fórmula del arreglo que denuncia, culto superficial permitido mientras el culto efectivo siguiera siendo el de las posesiones.

«His primary maneuver for distracting humans from the message of Christ was to emphasize the messenger and the mechanics of the message, while disregarding the substance of what was taught» — la maniobra que nombra como principal, subrayar al mensajero y la mecánica del mensaje y desatender lo enseñado.

«The message of Jesus, to disengage oneself from the influence of matter, and become filled with the Holy Spirit, became buried under a catalog of religious verbiage and dogmatic interpretation» — y qué dice que quedó enterrado bajo ese aparato, desprenderse de la influencia de la materia y llenarse del Espíritu Santo.

«It is easy for the self-righteous of this day to feel smug superiority when mention is made of the Inquisition and the Crusades, but it is only the names and the places that have changed» — la voz no deja el reproche en el pasado: nombra la Inquisición y las Cruzadas y sostiene que solo cambiaron los nombres y los lugares.

«Have two thousand years not educated your race to the absurdity of conceptual argument» — con la pregunta que dirige a quienes dicen seguirla, sobre lo absurdo de la disputa conceptual.

«I am Christ. I am coming this day through the atmosphere of your consciousness. I am asking you to open the door of your reason, to allow me into your heart» — el pasaje donde la voz se nombra a sí misma Cristo, que es el nombre propio más explícito que el volumen le pone; antes se había llamado ángel del destino y mensajero de las estrellas, y el libro no resuelve la relación entre las dos cosas.

«Look to the bible of love, my living presence in your heart, rather than to the wordy debates of little minds on the written word of old» — y la instrucción de lectura que da desde ahí, atender a una presencia viva en el corazón antes que a los debates sobre la letra antigua.

«What I bring this day is more than words. I bring the Living Information of Life. Accept it and the love in which it is offered» — porque lo que dice traer no son palabras sino lo que llama la Información Viva de la Vida, que da título al capítulo.

«I am the bridegroom, spoken of old. I came to you first through a man named Jesus. Your race was not fully prepared then for my coming, so I set the seeds in that age for this event that is before you» — la voz se identifica con el novio anunciado y con quien vino antes por un hombre llamado Jesús, y presenta aquella vez como siembra para ésta.

«New men and new women had to be prepared through the years of Christian Civilization, for the bridegroom could not put the new wine into old jugs» — con la función que adjudica a los siglos de lo que llama Civilización Cristiana, preparar odres nuevos.

«Take and eat of this truth, for it is my body, and drink of this love, for it is my blood» — y traslada la fórmula eucarística a lo que dice estar entregando, verdad por cuerpo y amor por sangre.

«I have come to establish a new relationship with your species and the ways of old shall be no more. See how all things are fulfilled; I am the sower and you are my seed.

«Whoever will come after me will have to die to all definitions of self, take up my spirit, and follow along the lines of my vibrational field. Whoever clings to his definition of self will lose his identity when that definition is no more, but whoever shall relinquish all definitions for my sake, and for the entry of my consciousness, the same shall share in my eternal life» — y la condición de seguimiento que enuncia, morir a toda definición de sí, con la paradoja evangélica de perder la identidad por aferrarse a ella.

«All who receive their impressions of the world as a small child receives them, without judgment, with love and acceptance, will receive my awareness. And all who receive me, receive as well, the consciousness of the one who sent me, the consciousness of the Creator himself» — la condición de recepción que la transmisión, por Carey, pone es la del niño, sin juicio, y la cadena que declara, quien la recibe a ella recibe la consciencia de quien la envió.

«But it is not a gift that you keep to yourself. It only enters where it is being given out. It does not stay with you except as it flows through you. The more you are able to give, the more will you receive» — y la regla de circulación de ese don, que solo entra donde se está dando y no se queda salvo al pasar.

«As you gain in proficiency and become a channel for my grace, the torrent passing through you will wear away all remnant of your former condition» — aquí la voz usa la palabra que da nombre a la raíz de tradición a que esta obra queda adscrita, pero en su propio sentido: el oyente como canal de una gracia, no como receptor de un dictado.

«I will come to you first with the consciousness of a child, for it is thus that you will learn again of your world» — y anuncia su propia llegada con consciencia de niño, que es el modo en que dice que se vuelve a aprender el mundo.

«The foxes have their holes, the birds, their nests, but there are few humans of this generation where I can rest my perceptions. I created you to be the temples of my awareness, but you have filled my dwelling place with material desires and driven out my spirit with the clamoring of thieves» — el pasaje donde reescribe en primera persona la frase evangélica de las zorras y los pájaros, con el cuerpo humano por templo ocupado por deseos materiales.

«Do not be too proud to pray, for my eyes do see and my ears do hear» — la instrucción sobre la oración, que no la presenta como rito sino como no tener orgullo para pedir.

«Take heed then, and identify with the life of the body, and not with the matter of Earth. When your “I” is single, your body will be full of life and no part of it will know disease or death» — de donde saca su doctrina de la enfermedad, que liga la unidad del yo a la vida del cuerpo; el libro imprime ese yo entre comillas dobles.

«When you see a cloud rise up out of the West, you know that a shower is near, and when you feel a wind from the South, you know it will soon be hot» — y el símil meteorológico de los signos de los tiempos, tomado de la misma tradición.

«I wish to share my consciousness with all, but those who are not prepared on the day of my coming will only receive as much as they are able, according to the manner in which they are accustomed to receiving» — y el límite que pone a su propio don, que cada quien recibirá según el modo en que esté acostumbrado a recibir.

«I am coming only now to bring life to the Earth. The Mother has kindled it before me and approximated the outward forms of my design» — el reparto de papeles entre la Madre, que habría encendido y aproximado las formas, y la voz, que dice traer la vida ahora.

«Has it not occurred to you that in the Garden of long ago it was not I who named the animals, but Adam, the son of matter» — y el argumento con que la sostiene, que en el Jardín los animales los nombró Adán, a quien llama hijo de la materia, y no la propia voz.

«So, in the shadow of the event, I appointed Adam my representative. And in the past, before the animals were given spirit definitions, Adam named them in the nature of their forms and in the nature of their physical patterns» — de modo que los nombres dados fueron los de sus formas y sus patrones físicos, no definiciones de espíritu.

«You should not dismiss too quickly the childish visions and primitive superstitions prevalent among the “less educated” of your species. For while these simple concepts certainly do not represent the entirety of the approaching phenomenon, they do, nevertheless, embody archetypal characteristics of it, some of which will be dramatized for your benefit» — la posición del libro sobre las visiones y supersticiones populares, que no las suscribe entera y les reconoce rasgos arquetípicos del fenómeno que anuncia.

«The animation of some of your discarded mythology will be your swiftest cure» — y el remedio que propone contra lo que llama esnobismo intelectual, animar parte de la mitología desechada.

«You think I have come to bring unity and peace to the Earth, and this is true, but to accomplish this, I must first divide the vibrational fields that are currently overlapping. I bring the sword of division that will separate all the elements into their proper places» — la corrección que hace a la expectativa de paz, que para unir primero dividiría los campos vibratorios, con la espada de división por figura.

«Do not be so caught up in your expectations and personal interpretations that you fail to see the Kingdom until it is upon you» — la advertencia contra las propias expectativas e interpretaciones a la hora de reconocer lo que anuncia; la frase viene de la plana anterior, donde pregunta por los signos de los tiempos.

«I am disappointed in this civilization, for you have had my word spoken to you from your youth, yet understood it not» — y el único reproche directo que la voz dirige a la civilización que la recibe.

«It has been said in the prophecies that the time of these things would not be until “the lightening that lighteth one particle that was bound under heaven, shineth forth and lighteth another part under heaven,” and that when this took place, the coming was near at hand» — la única cita de profecía que el volumen entrecomilla, sobre el relámpago que ilumina una partícula atada bajo el cielo, sin nombrar de qué escrito la toma; el troceo imprime *lightening*.

«Waste no time in indecision, but set out at once upon the path you are to take. Identify with my life, accept the gifts that I bring, or take your stance in the dying world» — con la urgencia que impone a la decisión y las dos posturas que ofrece.

«But those who are lukewarm, believing neither this nor that, will be too much associated with the materializing patterns to break free when these tendencies are removed from human levels of consciousness» — y a quién declara peor situado, no al del bando contrario sino al tibio.

«Many who sup with Satan this very hour will be the means through which I change the world; but many who now loudly proclaim the praise of the Lord will be the very ones to deny my energies of love and life and the very ones to cling most desperately to their fears and convictions» — con la inversión que remata el argumento, que los medios del cambio saldrán de donde no se espera y la negativa vendrá de quienes hoy alaban.

«There is nothing that needs to stand between you and yourself, between Creator and created, save time, and if you will come now and take my hand, together we will banish it and become as one» — lo único que la voz pone entre el Creador y lo creado es el tiempo, que propone abolir de la mano.

«The stewards that I left in ancient times to guide and look after your race, you disregarded and killed. So I came to you myself through Jesus of Nazareth. You crucified me then, for my collective coming was not understood and the forces of materialization were yet strong. This time I come to you in might and glory» — la historia que la voz cuenta de sí misma: mayordomos antiguos desatendidos y muertos, una venida propia por Jesús de Nazaret que terminó en crucifixión, y ésta en poder y gloria.

«You shall not disregard me again; for it is written that “the stone the builders rejected turned out to be the most important stone of all» — con la cita de la piedra que desecharon los constructores, puesta en boca de la propia voz.

«Yet this state of consciousness is to be the only state of consciousness that is to survive into the next age. Do not reject it because of its apparent lack of survival value. Receive it, and learn a new definition of survival» — y la advertencia de no descartar ese estado por su aparente falta de valor de supervivencia, con una definición nueva de supervivencia ofrecida a cambio.

«It will dance in your circuitry and spark your physical body into eternal life. This state of consciousness is the consciousness of the Being of Life himself. It is the current your circuitry was designed to operate on» — la figura eléctrica con que describe ese estado, la corriente para la que el circuito humano estaría hecho.

«In truth, this generation will not pass away until it has come to pass» — y el plazo que se fija, tomado de la fórmula evangélica, que esta generación no pasará.

«The momentum of my coming is as irreversible as the rising and setting of the Sun» — con la irreversibilidad que se atribuye, comparada a la salida y la puesta del Sol.

«These plans were not made yesterday. These things have been decided of old, even before I quickened the first life upon this planet» — la antigüedad que la transmisión, por Carey, se atribuye al plan, anterior a la primera vida del planeta.

«Enter gracefully into the patterns that I have prepared for you. Don the garments of my design. They are bodies of light. Your present physical bodies are like unto them as a light without current is like unto one that is lit» — y qué ofrece a cambio de las definiciones entregadas, cuerpos de luz, con el símil de la lámpara con corriente y sin ella.

«Do not continue to define yourselves but allow me to define you in my service» — con la instrucción que repite a lo largo del libro, dejar de definirse uno mismo.

«On this channel, I speak to you in the second person because for many at this time, this is the most effective means of receiving this information» — el pasaje donde la voz explica su propio procedimiento retórico y llama canal a este modo de dirigirse; es uno de los pocos sitios en que usa esa palabra para lo que hace ella misma.

«But do not be deceived by the dichotomy implied in this mode. I am your life. You are my expression. I am the vine, you are the branches. I am the consciousness, you are my focus» — y desarma en seguida la dualidad que ese modo implica, con las parejas de la vid y las ramas y de la consciencia y su foco.

«There is no separation, except in time perhaps, and in my presence, time does not exist» — de modo que la única separación que admite es de tiempo, y declara que en su presencia el tiempo no existe.

«In times when fear patterns predominate, the laws that humans require are many and complex. But when those patterns are broken up, as is shortly to be, all human laws shall be abolished» — el capítulo 11 liga el número y la complejidad de las leyes humanas al predominio del miedo, y anuncia su abolición.

«In the presence of my spirit, there is but one law, and that is the law of love; love all, love what is, love yourself as you are, and love me as I express through you» — con la única ley que declara vigente en su presencia, y sus cuatro objetos, todo, lo que es, uno mismo y ella.

«The law of love is more than a law, it is the way of life. What do you think causes the sprouts in the spring? What do you think brings fruit to the branch? It is all love, all life, calling out the potential of this planet. Be in and of this love, and the many confusing laws of old will be absorbed in the glorious expression of life on Earth» — a la que no trata como norma sino como modo de vida, con los brotes de la primavera y el fruto de la rama por prueba.

«It is written that the day will come when men will no longer live on the bread of matter, but on the living word of God» — y la profecía que cita sin nombrar su fuente, el día en que se viva de la palabra viva y no del pan de la materia.

«That day is now. The nourishing information awaits within. Eat of it in ways that you will not understand with the rational mind» — con la aplicación al presente y la instrucción de comer de esa información por vías que la mente racional no entenderá.

«On the hills of Galilee, I taught you to cast out devils in my name. But this is a new age and a new generation, and to those of you who are to work with me in the preparation of this planet. I will say this as well “Cast out definitions in my name» — el pasaje donde la voz reescribe su propio mandato antiguo: donde enseñó a echar fuera demonios, ahora manda echar fuera definiciones; el troceo pone un punto donde el sentido pide coma.

«For it is by definitions of a multitudinous kind that the spirit of life, bubbling so gently out of the Earth, is held in the restraining halls of Satan» — con la razón que da, que las definiciones son lo que retiene al espíritu de vida.

«On vibrational channels of being, I am broadcasting these definitions even now. If you silence your thoughts and attune to your inner signals, you will begin to expand into my conceptions, into a new interpretation of reality» — la figura radiofónica con que describe su actividad presente, transmitir definiciones por canales vibratorios del ser.

«I have been beaming my signals to you steadily ever since you first left the Garden, but their message has been faint among the loud clamoring of your many words» — y la continuidad que reclama para esa emisión, desde la salida del Jardín, con las palabras humanas por ruido de fondo.

«If an acorn falls to the ground among many other acorns, and becomes so involved with its relationships to the other acorns that it clings ever to its definition of itself as an acorn, then that acorn will never die as an acorn, and will never discover that in God’s definition, it is not an acorn, but a mighty oak» — la parábola de la bellota que se define por sus relaciones con las demás bellotas y nunca descubre que es un roble.

«Do not be like the acorn in this parable and cling to your larval self-images until you are rotting and crawling with worms. Release your childish conceptions and allow the Creator to define you in his terms» — con la moral que le saca, soltar las imágenes larvarias de sí mismo.

«Your mind is still looking for complexities. Throughout history, you have been struggling so hard to survive, by your definition of survival, that you have forgotten why you want to survive» — la objeción que hace a la propia idea de supervivencia, que a fuerza de sobrevivir se olvidó para qué.

«I am your reason for survival. I am the spark of life within you, expressing my universality through your environment. It is I who want to survive and find expression through you» — y la respuesta que da, que la razón de sobrevivir es ella misma, chispa de vida que quiere expresarse por el oyente.

«Be still until you are empowered from on high. These first ripples you feel are just a hint of what is to come. When the Holy Spirit has fully touched you, you will know what I know, see what I see, and be what I am» — el consejo de no salir a predicar antes de tiempo, con la promesa de saber, ver y ser lo que ella.

«Few will listen to you preach a gospel of love if they sense the fear in your heart. Be still and be quiet. My spirit cannot come when minds are full» — con la razón práctica que da, que nadie escucha un evangelio de amor a quien lleva miedo dentro.

«If this message cannot be verified by your own experience in this moment, it will do little good. My message is one of peace, harmony, wholeness» — el criterio de verificación que el propio libro se impone, la experiencia del lector en el momento de leerlo.

«I am offering you the gift of myself. I promise you that if you receive me, you will receive the totality of all that is as well, for I and the Father are one» — y lo que dice ofrecer, que no es doctrina sino sí misma, con la fórmula joánica de la unidad con el Padre.

«If you believe in these words, understand clearly: it is not these words that you believe in, but the living reality that these words represent. The true communication is in your heart. There I commune directly» — con la advertencia de no creer en las palabras sino en la realidad que representan, y el sitio donde dice comunicarse de veras.

«My message is a message of action. It is not something to be taken down from the shelf and dusted off on special occasions» — y el rechazo del uso ceremonial de lo que trae, que no es para bajar del estante en ocasiones especiales.

«When you give, do not give to those who may, perchance, repay you someday, for this is not true giving. But give to those who you know will never repay you except in spirit; this is payment enough» — la regla que da para el dar, que solo cuenta lo que no puede ser devuelto.

«When good works are done through your physical form, turn aside all praise and say “It is not this form that is responsible, but one much greater than this form could ever contain in entirety. My form is but the agent of the Lord. Praise him directly, and do not emphasize the forms through which he works» — y la fórmula que pone en boca de quien obre bien, para desviar la alabanza de la forma a lo que la mueve.

«For I am the doer of all that will now be done. You are my deeds. I make my home in your body, mind and heart. Make it a home of prayer, that I might enter and reside» — con la autoría de lo que se haga reclamada entera por la voz, y el cuerpo humano por casa de oración.

«My coming is like the yeast that raises up the dough. This moment my spirit is awakening in the minds and hearts of the simple, the innocent and the sincere the world over» — la parábola de la levadura aplicada a su propia venida, que declara ya en curso entre los sencillos.

«The time scale of my coming is subjective. You can experience the reality of the process as soon as you are capable of sustaining the vision in your heart» — el calendario que da para esa venida no es objetivo sino subjetivo, y depende de sostener la visión.

«As I enter human events, the intensity of my bio-gravitational field will cause time to bubble and warp» — con el efecto físico que se atribuye sobre el tiempo, que burbujearía y se alabearía; aquí el troceo imprime *bio-gravitational* con guion.

«From within the appearance of history, it will seem that a number of factors cause the phenomena associated with my coming. There will be logical, rational proof that certain influences have led up to and produced what is taking place. In truth, however, I come at my own inclination, in my own way» — y la reserva que pone a toda explicación causal de lo que anuncia, que habrá prueba racional de factores encadenados y que ella viene por su propia inclinación.

«The intensity of my vibrational field is sufficient to adjust reality before it. This is what history is all about» — de donde saca su definición de la historia, ajuste de la realidad por delante de un campo vibratorio que se acerca.

«It will be the children, who care little for the laws of physics, but who eagerly await the animals’ gift of speech, who will be most comprehensively informed of each and every new development» — y a quiénes adjudica la mejor información sobre lo que viene, a los niños que esperan el don del habla de los animales.

«The wisest in the ways of the material realms, however, the physicists, have already begun to suspect what is happening» — con la excepción que hace entre los adultos, los físicos, de quienes dice que ya empezaron a sospecharlo.

«It will be the physicist, the anthropologist and the astronomer, who stand with the children and animals in the manger of matter, waiting for my consciousness to be born» — la transmisión, por Carey, coloca a tres oficios científicos en la escena del pesebre, junto a los niños y los animales.

«I am the life of the Father dancing in the clay, but the life of the Father must be joined by the consciousness of the Father if the organism is to achieve immortality» — y distingue dos cosas que el libro no confunde, la vida del Padre, ya presente en la materia, y la consciencia del Padre, que faltaría para la inmortalidad del organismo.

«I know whom I have chosen, and the harvesters I have sent into the fields of Humankind are as varied and as real as the people I have sent them to harvest» — sobre quiénes trabajan para lo que anuncia dice que son tan variados como aquellos a quienes se envía, y pide no juzgarlos por su apariencia.

«Know each other, not by outward form, but by the love radiated in their presence. I have come, not to harvest a denomination, but to harvest all nations» — con el criterio de reconocimiento que propone, el amor irradiado, y la negativa a cosechar una denominación.

«I am symbolized by the conjunction of longitudinal and latitudinal, by the sign of the cross. I unite all in a unity of time and space, a unity of Creator and Creation» — la lectura que hace de la cruz, cruce de longitud y latitud y signo de la unidad de tiempo y espacio, no instrumento de suplicio.

«I am the winds of change and I bring the breath of eternal life. The seasons of Humankind are ended now, and the season of unified Man is to begin» — la serie de autodefiniciones con que se abre la plana, con el fin de las estaciones de la humanidad y el comienzo de la del hombre unificado.

«I am the new wine that this generation has been designed to receive. I am the resurrected Christ come joyfully to dwell in the hearts of men» — y donde la voz se nombra vino nuevo y Cristo resucitado.

«I am the one who has been surrounding your culture. I am the one who has been surrounding your history. It was I who taught in Galilee and healed the sick and brought the dead in spirit to life» — reclamando para sí lo que enseñó en Galilea y lo que curó.

«For two thousand years I have been preparing you for this moment» — con el plazo de dos mil años declarado como preparación de este momento.

«Do not try to pour this Living Information into the old jugs of your rational conceptions; for if you do, I will burst the skins and spill to the ground to quicken the very rocks instead» — la advertencia contra verter lo que trae en las concepciones racionales, con la figura de los odres reventados y lo derramado sobre las rocas.

«I will give you just a few more and then I will meet you inside, and we will sit around the fire of my love, where it is warmer than these snowy pages and chilly words» — el pasaje donde la voz anuncia el fin de su propio dictado y llama frías a las palabras del libro frente al encuentro interior; es el único sitio en que nombra las planas que se están escribiendo.

«You are not to act upon my information in the future, you are to be my information yourselves. You are to be my will in action, my very deeds» — y la inversión que propone del papel del lector, no actuar sobre la información sino ser la información.

«I come to you when the guards of fear and reason are looking the other way. I Slip in, in moments when you are grateful or happy» — con el modo de entrada que describe, por descuido de los guardias del miedo y la razón, en momentos de gratitud o alegría; el troceo imprime *I Slip* con mayúscula.

«Believe nothing anymore, for I am the source of eternal knowledge and henceforth I will rise up within you like a spring that will never run dry» — y la instrucción más radical del libro sobre la creencia, no creer ya nada, con una fuente interior puesta en su lugar.

«When the collectivity of your being considers its experience in the terms of an individual lifetime, you will think of all the years of your history up until The Coming shortly after the turn of the Second Millennium A.D., as being years of darkness, years spent in the womb. You will remember nothing about them» — el capítulo 12 mira hacia atrás desde el futuro: la historia entera hasta la Venida sería el tiempo pasado en el útero, del que no quedaría recuerdo.
