Course V - Teaching 1: Renunciation is the Way of Cafh

Renunciation is the way of Cafh and there is no other way to save the world.
Renunciation is the only means of salvation not only for Sons of Cafh but even for all Humanity.
The way of Cafh would be imperfect if one deemed that renunciation had to do only with a part of Humanity.
Renunciation is the way of Cafh and the Sons must practice and live it since now, but not with the idea that the way is only for them, but being sure that it is the only way to save the entire Humanity. Renunciation is the only way of salvation, and there is no other way.
This fundamental doctrine is not new, but belongs to all Great Initiates, to all great beings that gave their Message to Humanity, but none heard them. But because of the moment that he must live, an invaluable gift has been granted to the disciple: to know that Humanity has finished its evolutionary cycle of oscillating permanence, like shadows reflected on the wall of the world, by the world-wide vibration of a truly supernatural force, of an energy never known to man, and to get a clearer vision of the reality about human life.
The mission of the Son is really extraordinary because his message of renunciation arrives at the propitious hour, an hour in which Humanity, despite all its miseries, can understand and grasp the message. But his preparation must be complete and absolute for the fulfillment of this.
In the world, not only the Sons of Cafh, but also many souls practice renunciation, have understood it and live it; but it is necessary that Cafh, where it is, along with souls entrusted to Cafh, may begin to preach this Message about all things.
Cafh possesses the message that it has to preach to the souls: renunciation is the only way to be saved. The Son that does not understand this after attaining Cafh never can be a Son of Cafh.
The doctrine lies on renunciation, is based on the belief of the Son and is his message for Humanity. The Son cannot deviate from this fundamental concept in regard to souls.
Since the Son enters the Path, as Sponsored Son, understands that this is the only truth. He does not practice it, but learns and understands it. This cannot be refused to souls. The Instructor that does not teach that all is vain and perishable is not teaching a healthy doctrine. Superiors ought to make him to understand and know this. To lead him to this point, necessarily he must consider that all is vain in the world.
Many times Superiors and Instructors deceive the souls with false doctrines because in their view these souls still are incapable or can be harmed, but these Superiors and Instructors do not know that this is the basis of preaching: to be eye-openers since the beginning.
Everything perishes, everything dies: Renunciation is the only way to salvation. A soul living by illusion perhaps moves away, but many other predestined souls will come to the Path because the soul finally receives the Message. Perchance do not many souls move away from the Way, mainly in the beginning? Because none knew how to give them the true doctrine, and by means of false hopes, none preached to them the healthy doctrine of the truth, that is, all is Renunciation, and a person that does not renounce, neither has nor will ever have salvation; he not only will die as a human being, but also all his illusions will die with him; and all his supposed glory will become failure.
Of course, the Lonely Son cannot be such if he does not understand this Fundamental good. His Vows would be nothing more than an external defensive shell if he did not understand it. But he not only understands it but also practices it partially; he understood it and began its practice.
It is he who read the Regulation that sees that the life of the Lonely Son is nothing more than a great bridge of salvation between earth and heaven, and the soul must cross it and entirely surrender to Renunciation.
Life of the Lonely Son is nothing more than a school, a stimulus for the continuous practice that will lead him to Renunciation; it is a work of love, made by the Mother through the Superiors to lead him to the true good that is Renunciation understood, practiced and lived, and transformed into flesh, mind and life in a human being. And needless to say in this divine group of Cafh, the Ordained Son practices this life and lives it to the full.
But this renunciation is not selfish renunciation.
In this sense, the fundamental mission of Cafh is an individual mission, therefore a Human mission, for the entire Humanity. It is not renunciation of a man who achieves it for himself, even thinking that this renunciation shall become a good for Humanity. Renunciation of the Son neither is total nor ever shall be total while the human kind is unable to understand and live this unique and universal truth. Therefore, the first duty of an Ordained Son is to preach to the souls of the world that all is ruin and death, everything ends up and nothing can remain.
All is becoming. This is the first message, the first duty. But with this end in view, the Son must possess a deep consciousness in this sense; he must be so absolute reality that never an opposite idea must exist in his mind. For instance, a Son that, at a moment of temptation thinks of coming back to the world, did not understand the Vow of Renunciation, because otherwise this idea would not enter his mind, his nature or his being.
It is necessary to preach to the world that all is death and ruin, but first this must be a reality for the Son.
First, he must possess a very clear concept on the Vow of Renunciation, which is entirely auxiliary of the true Renunciation, because Renunciation is something living and personal.
Second, this Vow takes for granted Renunciation, and encourages it.
Then you should understand that a person that intimately does not understand what is Renunciation could not devote his life to this. So later it is out of question to hear things as follows: “I cannot die, and do not possess necessary strength to die”. This is fundamental in the Sons.
The idea has to be absolute; otherwise, self-deception is out of question and the Community cannot admit that Son.
This concept leads then to this conclusion: a person that follows the way to Renunciation never comes back. His Vow is his assistant: a Son may dispose of a Vow, but for this reason he is not free of Renunciation; otherwise, he is a failure. A vocation has been fostered in him. Failure becomes failure of the Superior, of Directors and of companions. All are affected and harmed by this wound.
The Son who wished to be Ordained must know that Renunciation is a gift of the soul and that once this gift is in the soul, none can ever take it out. So, the Ordained of Community must really tighten their ties and links; they must be “sealed” in their vocation: not by pride but by charity for those souls that are not called to Renunciation. So they must be strongly linked and form a mystical chain that shall impede that these souls may take Vows, may fall from up high and continuously may deny God; because the Angel of Light always becomes Satan and curses what he has lost and does not possess any more. His lips exude poison even although his face happily smiles. The Sons must avoid this.
Which is the surer method for the souls?
Which have to be these means to avoid mistakes?
First: A true examination before their Ordination.
Second: A more complete Seminary.
It is a duty of the Sons that an aspirant never may say: “I cannot die”. How did they not realize it before? How did ignore this?
Manly aspirants, especially men, most time possess a false concept about Ordination. They believe that Ordination is to acquire or possess something.
An aspirant wrote to his Spiritual Director: “I wish to be ordained for a more close union with the Divine Mother”. And his Director replied: “For a closer union with the Divine Mother you do not need to be ordained. Means are within the reach of all Sons to achieve this purpose, since this is an entirely internal good. Even the humblest Sponsored Son can attain the Divine Union if he surrenders entirely with unlimited love and arranges his life by means of proper asceticism”.
Internally, all souls can reach the Union with the Divinity; their chances are lesser than those of consecrated souls, but they can arrive. Their bliss shall not be perfect because their means are fewer. The Ordained possess further means and therefore further responsibilities.
“Another thing altogether is to possess vocation of Ordained Son”, this Spiritual Director said. “It is to possess a constant internal certainty that only on this type of life in Community one will find happiness, good and means to attain the Divine Union. It is to feel that this is his place, to feel that in the Mother’s House he will be at ease, that nothing else can please him, and that before many troubles he finally will say, ‘Be patient’, and will go on forward. It is likely that he never attains a true union in this life, but this prepares him for the Union at the hour of death. Others may have many other goods, but for consecrated souls”, the Spiritual Director continued, “it is like a certainty that one is not born for worldly works or for a family, but for accepting the type of Life in Community”.
This must be really understood because it is an unavoidable sign of vocation. One has to mistrust much enthusiasm; but if the aspirant is not interested in anything, nothing calls his attention, fulfils the orders, hears the advice of his Superior and is not touchy, so all this is a sign of true call.
Superiors never should admit a Son who says that he cannot live “without it”: this is enthusiasm, elation, and search for something. The life of an Ordained Son is “the nothing”: renunciation, absolute detachment.
And the above-mentioned Spiritual Director added: “And very likely although they are Ordained Sons, and the fittest to live in Community, do not attain the expected Union in this lifetime. Of course, Ordination, that is a type of life, is a fitter preparation to this purpose. But it prepares and does not give. Also, life in Community, which is not of illusions, requires a humble work: tilling the earth, cooking, being at work, and few studies: all this takes form through great silence, absolute obedience and routine that ends with physical death of the Son.”
We tell this to dispel all uncertainty; if the Son looks for this, then he must be accepted with no objections.
We must speak clearly because dispensation of Vows is nothing more than a palliative; in the way to God, Truth and Renunciation there are only two things: triumph or failure. So, silence is the only good for souls that fail: not naming them and forgetting them.
Life of an Ordained Son is death, and the dead do not come back; and living people escape from the dead if the latter come back. They possess a curse, their own curse: they are not in contact with beings any more and do not find happiness. Over all, the main curse is that these poor souls may have a little of peace and loneliness by denying God and faith, which is grace of the soul and the only gift of man on earth, that is: to believe.
