Java and Sicily: two islands, one soul

 

Andrea and Irwan are two friends who met in Indonesia, specifically in the western part of Java, and both of their names reflect their nobility of spirit and their courage. However, Andrea is a young Italian recent graduate originally from Sicily, an island in the Mediterranean, who decides to venture into other countries far from his homeland, now weary of the excessive worldliness and the moral decadence typical of many “Western countries,” which for decades have begun to distort even Sicilian youth.

Yet Sicily in the past has always been a crossroads of cultures that produced a grand fusion of architectural, linguistic, genetic, and culinary elements.

On the splendid island of Java, he began his work and volunteer activities, rediscovering himself in serving others and in creating deep connections with the local people, especially with the Sundanese ethnic group, to which Irwan belongs. Andrea meets him during an excursion to Cukang Taneuh, a marvellous canyon, characterised by emerald-coloured waters and dense tropical vegetation.

Over time the two come to know each other better, and Irwan, who is in love with Italy, learns through Andrea several things about the beautiful island, which he then decides to visit together with his Sicilian friend.

One late-summer afternoon the two friends find themselves on one of the beaches of southern Sicily and, while waiting for the sunset and the contemplation of the stars, they begin to retrace their adventures on these two splendid islands.

“Andrea, I never imagined that the Mediterranean held such a wonderful jewel! You know, I have always loved traveling, but it is not easy for us… Obtaining a visa is something difficult and very restrictive.”

“Irwan, you are right, and I would add that there should not be differences between nations. There are no first-class or second-class countries, none better than others, because our diversity is what makes us special. Yet it is within this diversity that we must find Unity, the feeling of being like a Great Universal Family, with equal opportunities, dignity, and an inner, spiritual aspect, if we wish to understand it that way. I am sure that a day will come when we will be able to travel without restrictions, not only here on Earth but even toward other worlds… I almost have the impression that we are confined to this planet as some of the worst beings in the Universe… Who would wage war against his own brother or sister for a piece of land, for natural resources, for money or, worse, out of hatred? But that Golden Age will come, and then we will be happy again, living in Love, Peace, and Justice.”

“I would not want to delude myself too much, because this Earth actually has so many wonders that we often fail to realise it. In fact, we are destroying all the beauties of creation and the works of past civilisations. I would never have imagined visiting Sicily, and with you I have been able to discover wonderful places.”

“You are right, we must give value to the precious things we have before it is too late, before we lose them forever because of our destructive madness. Anyway, tell me what you liked the most! I am truly curious!”

“The Greco-Roman culture that has left an indelible mark on this island. The Ancient-Greek temples of Agrigento, the Ancient-Greek theatres of Taormina, Catania, and Syracuse, the Roman Villa del Casale in Piazza Armerina, the Roman baths of Catania…”

“Truly wonderful, and you know how much I love classical Greco-Roman culture! You just reminded me of the splendid temples of Borobudur and Prambanan in magnificent Java! You see, both of our islands are characterised by a blending of elements from various cultures, religions, and civilisations…”

“And not to mention Mount Etna, immense and majestic, rising almost like the king of this island. I cannot imagine how beautiful it must be to see it in winter covered in snow. Then Stromboli, Vulcano and the other Aeolian islets, then the Egadi Islands, Pantelleria… what a marvel!”

“In fact, Java also boasts several volcanoes that I have had the chance to see and from which I could observe breathtaking landscapes: Bromo and Semeru, for example! Even this volcanic aspect, let’s call it that, brings us together hahaha.”

“Hahaha, that’s true! I had not thought of that! In our diversity and in our spatial and temporal distance we can still find elements in common! And then there are our beautiful beaches, like the one we are on now. Rediscovering nature is something many people have lost, immersed in the worries and anxieties of everyday life, emptied of their deepest feelings, often devoted to exhausting work and very little to personal affections and to their own souls…”

“You are right, Irwan, and that is why I wanted to escape from that chaotic environment, even though I missed my beloved homeland. Now I am here, but soon we will leave again and I already know that I will miss it. Every place that I associate with my youth takes me back and makes me relive intense emotions. Not that I do not feel them in wonderful Java, but it is somewhat the destiny of the human being: a wandering traveler who seeks to rediscover himself first of all, almost driven by a sense of dissatisfaction. Even more so in these recent times, so tumultuous and decadent, in which most people here tend to be superficial and lacking in empathy.”

“Andrea, it is true, and even true and virtuous friendships are difficult to find nowadays… I feel so fortunate to have met you, to have a few best friends but loyal ones.”

“Virtuous—you said it well! You reminded me of Cicero and his work dedicated to the theme of friendship. His words echo in my heart, especially when I find sincere and deep friendships. For this great philosopher, true friendship is born from Virtue; it is a natural good, it never asks for unjust actions, and it is based on loyalty and mutual esteem. May ours last forever, even beyond this earthly dimension. As the saying goes, he who finds a friend finds a treasure.”

“True, what a beautiful expression! I hope so too. Thank you for not having prejudices about me.”

“Irwan, I love to look into hearts, into the soul, through actions, the way one behaves, words, and much more! You and your wonderful Indonesian people have an extraordinary depth of spirit: you are respectful, loving, wise, and welcoming. I truly feel at home with you, at ease. I already know that I will miss this experience when I will probably have to go elsewhere in the world.”

“You Sicilians are also very empathetic and friendly! And imagine if we could move around more easily and quickly… it would be wonderful, Andrea!”

“It will happen, I feel it…”

“I hope… Anyway, what a wonderful sunset! I will carry beautiful memories of this journey, besides the kilos I gained here thanks to your delicious Sicilian and Italian cuisine hahaha.”

“Hahaha, you are right. Other friends who visited Sicily told me the same thing. But do not worry, we will try to recreate something once we are back in Java. Besides, your cuisine is also truly delicious. Rice is present in both: between nasi goreng and arancini, hahaha.”

“Hahaha, true, you are right. They are delicious! Actually, speaking of that, we should start thinking about what to prepare for dinner tonight—but in the meantime let us begin to admire the first stars that are appearing.”

The two friends continued spending time on that beach, contemplating the sky and the stars and enjoying their outer and inner peace.

Both journeys and the discoveries of their respective islands were a source of cultural and spiritual enrichment, because what truly characterises all those souls that vibrate on the same wavelength is the creation of connections, of deep unions that transcend space and time, that bring forth Peace, Equality, Love, Justice, and Righteousness. It does not matter how few such cases may seem, because the Universal Order will sooner or later manifest itself on this Earth as well, and then there will be no more inequalities, chaos, hatred, wars, destruction, or vice.

The Hidden Heart of Our Earth

“Watch for the Day when the earth will be changed into a different earth and the heavens as well, and all will appear before Allah—the One, the Supreme.” (Qur’an 14:48)

“Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth. The former heaven and the former earth had passed away, and the sea was no more.” (Rv 21, 1)

The question of what lies beneath the Earth’s surface has involved our human imagination for millennia. Ancient traditions across cultures imagined subterranean realms inhabited by gods, spirits, or mythical civilisations. The Greeks and Romans spoke of Hades, Hindu cosmology described Patala, early Christians placed Hell beneath the ground, and Buddhism referred to Shamballa as a hidden inner world. These stories provided symbolic and moral frameworks, but they also shaped later speculations that attempted to explain the planet’s physical structure.

By the seventeenth century, such speculations began to take scientific form. As a matter of fact, the English astronomer Edmond Halley proposed in 1692 that Earth might consist of concentric hollow shells with luminous atmospheres inside. He even suggested that these inner spaces could account for phenomena like the Aurora Borealis. Although his hypothesis was quickly challenged, it inspired further discussion. Later, in the eighteenth century, experiments such as the Schiehallion project demonstrated that Earth’s mean density was far too high for a hollow model, confirming that the planet’s mass is concentrated in its interior. These early falsifications illustrate how science progresses: bold conjectures are welcomed, but they must withstand rigorous testing.

Despite being scientifically refuted, the Hollow Earth idea never disappeared. In the nineteenth century, figures like John Symmes revived it, arguing that vast inner worlds existed, accessible through openings at the poles. Symmes promoted his vision of a lush inner Earth to the public, gaining attention but little acceptance in the scientific community. Literature embraced the theme, however, with works such as Jules Verne’s Journey to the Center of the Earth and Edgar Rice Burroughs’ Pellucidar offering vivid adventures in imagined subterranean landscapes. Fiction allowed the idea to survive where science had moved on.

In modern times, Hollow Earth narratives appear in alternative science and metaphysical writings. The Italian astrophysicist and geophysicist Giuliana Conforto, for example, advances a highly original interpretation centered on the presence of a vast crystalline structure at the Earth’s core. According to her view, this crystal has a radius of approximately 1,200 kilometers and lies around 5,000 kilometers beneath our feet. It is not passive matter but a dynamic entity, exhibiting an unusual autonomy from known physical laws. Conforto suggests that this immense crystal is responsible for generating Earth’s magnetosphere, which she describes as shaped like an apple enveloping the planet. On the surface, its influence can allegedly be observed in phenomena such as the South Atlantic Anomaly, an area of weakened geomagnetic field that she interprets as a probable epicenter of an impending reversal of Earth’s magnetosphere—an event unprecedented in recorded human history. Rather than framing this as an apocalyptic catastrophe, Conforto interprets it as a “Revelation,” a call to reconsider our entire understanding of reality.

The crystal, in her description, does not emit light but sound. At its center lies an even smaller and denser “heart” with a radius of about 400 kilometers, rotating westward in the opposite direction of the larger crystal, which rotates eastward. Seismographic observations of earthquake wave propagation have revealed complex dynamics in Earth’s inner core, and Conforto interprets these as evidence of a dual rotation—both clockwise and counterclockwise—within the planetary heart. She sees this as a self-sustaining source of energy, a “prime mover” that requires neither combustion nor fuel. For her, this discovery is not just a matter of geophysics but a profound revelation: a demonstration that energy and time have no ultimate limits.

Conforto extends this principle of dual rotation beyond geophysics, suggesting that it is mirrored in the atomic and cellular structures of living beings. At this level, she proposes a link with the “weak nuclear force” of modern physics, specifically the phenomenon of the neutral weak current. While conventionally treated as one of the four fundamental forces of nature, Conforto interprets it as the “true light” mentioned in sacred texts—a form of energy that is not visible but can be sensed as consciousness, emotion, and the unity of all life. This weak force, mediated by massive Z bosons, is in her view not weak at all but a transformative and accelerating energy. It could, she suggests, influence organic molecules, expand life, overcome fear, and foster communion between beings.

In this framework, the “true sun” is not the star in the sky but the great crystal at Earth’s center. Every crystal, she notes, emits sound quanta known as phonons, and this immense inner crystal produces what she describes as a “great opera,” a cosmic music whose parameters—such as speed and inclination—are now shifting. This change, she argues, signals a transition from an old era dominated by fear, division, and the illusion of electromagnetic appearances, to a New Era characterised by expansion, unity, and a recognition of deeper truths. For Conforto, the growth of the weak field and the decline of the electromagnetic field are emblematic of this epochal shift.

While Conforto’s ideas diverge sharply from mainstream science, they highlight the symbolic power of Hollow Earth narratives to capture questions that transcend physical geology. They address not only what lies at the center of the planet, but also what energises life, how consciousness interacts with matter, and how humanity interprets change on a planetary scale.

However, according to mainstream geophysics, there is another antithetical explanation of Earth’s structure. Seismology reveals a solid inner core, a liquid outer core, and a mantle of dense rock above them. Earth’s magnetic field is explained by the geodynamo: convective currents of molten iron in the outer core that generate magnetic fields consistent with both theoretical models and observational data. Satellite gravimetry, seismic tomography, and laboratory mineral physics all converge to support this layered model.

In conclusion, if we consider the vision of Giuliana Conforto and other scientists, philosophers, and  writers who imagine a kind of Hollow Earth with an inner sun, together with the possibility suggested by some authors that life might exist within it, then the connection with sacred scriptures becomes even more striking. Many traditions, from the Bible to the Qur’an, speak of a future transformation—a New Earth and New Heavens. If such hidden worlds or civilisations have always existed in harmony with Justice, Peace, and Love, their re-emergence could serve as a model for humanity. It would not only be a spiritual turning point, but also a transformation on many levels: physical, biological, chemical, geological, and even astronomical. In this sense, the Hollow Earth narrative can be read not just as a myth or a metaphor, but as a profound call to imagine a new epoch for humankind and for the planet itself.

Call to awaken

Dear brothers and sisters,

Living on this planet is not a coincidence; it is a great test, a proving ground where our souls and spirits are shaped. Here, we are given the sacred chance to prove ourselves worthy of living eternally in the Kingdom of Love, Peace, Harmony, Justice, and Righteousness. Imagine if our souls and spirits, still young and immature, were suddenly placed in a realm of perfect Peace and Light. We would feel out of place, like fish out of water, unable to breathe in the pure air of such a place, unable to move in its higher currents. To be there, we must first learn to resonate with that frequency.

Earth is the school, the training ground, the forge. Here, we encounter trials, challenges, and difficulties because they refine us. They teach patience, courage, humility, and compassion. We must not see our struggles as punishments, but as opportunities to grow. Without challenge, there is no strength; without sorrow, we cannot truly understand joy.

The forces that oppose spiritual growth are real. They are subtle and persistent, working through despair, hatred, greed, and fear to imprison souls and spirits in lower states of being. These forces thrive in war, injustice, corruption, and moral decay. They exist to keep us distracted from our higher calling. Look at the world around us: endless conflicts, genocides, such as that in Gaza, the destruction of our environment through toxic pollution and exploitation, the looming threat of nuclear devastation, and the moral disintegration of our society. We must never forget the horrors of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, where in an instant, atomic weapons unleashed destruction beyond imagination, wiping out entire cities and leaving deep scars on humanity’s conscience. Such atrocities must never be repeated. The shadow of nuclear war still hangs over our world, and it is our duty to ensure that such darkness never falls again.

Moreover, political, religious, and educational institutions are often corrupted, no longer serving the Truth but rather power and self-interest, the evil forces. Yet, this is not the whole story. Against these forces stand the luminous powers of Love, Truth, and Righteousness. The angelic forces of evolution are with us when we sincerely walk the path of Light. Their assistance is not always obvious, but it is real. They inspire courage when fear surrounds us, they whisper truth in moments of confusion, and they help us rise when we have fallen.

To reach spiritual elevation, we must consciously choose the Virtues that align us with higher realities: chastity to guard purity, temperance to keep balance, charity to open the heart, diligence to persevere, kindness to heal wounds, patience to endure without bitterness, and humility to remember that we are all parts of the One. Every act of virtue raises our inner frequency. Every time we speak the truth, forgive an enemy, care for the weak, or defend the innocent, we step closer to the gates of Heaven.

However, spiritual elevation is not reached in a single leap; it is the work of a lifetime. It requires daily practice. Meditation, prayer, honest self-reflection, and service to others are essential tools. We must also care for the Earth, as it is both our home and our teacher. The rivers, the forests, the animals, and even the air we breathe remind us that all life is connected. When we harm creation, we harm ourselves.

Furthermore, True Happiness is not found in wealth, status, or power. It is found in the harmony between body, soul, and spirit. When we live in Virtue, we experience Peace within, and this Peace flows outward, touching those around us. In the eternal realm and higher dimensions, there is no room for selfishness, cruelty, or greed; so, we must cleanse ourselves of these here and now. In Heaven, there is abundance for everyone.

Therefore, beloved brothers and sisters, I speak with all the urgency of my heart: Awaken. Rise. Become conscious. Life is the test, and it passes swiftly. Do not let it pass in distraction or numbness. Feel with your heart. See with your soul. Let your spirit shine with the Light that was placed within you by our Uncreated Creator. Together, we can resist and fight against the darkness, transform our world, and prepare ourselves for the eternal Kingdom where Love and Peace reign forever.

The time is now. The choice is yours.

With Love and Truth,

A seeker of Peace

The role of technology in a Heavenly Kingdom

In a world that seems to be racing toward endless progress, we often find ourselves idolising technology and modernism, believing they hold the key to our happiness. However, without a solid moral foundation and a heart anchored in Goodness, even the most brilliant inventions can turn into tools of harm. Progress without purpose can be as fragile as glass—beautiful to behold but shattering with the slightest impact.

Some folks think that any technological advancement is at odds with God or the sacred. But this perspective misses a crucial point: the Divine isn’t against technology itself; it’s about how we choose to use it. When innovation is embraced with Love, guided by Peace, and rooted in Faith in something greater than ourselves, it turns into something beautiful. It resonates with the wisdom of those who envision worlds beyond our own—places where civilisations exist in perfect Harmony, where technology uplifts rather than tears down, and where spiritual values flow through every device and dream.

Imagine realms where plants and animals flourish in eternal beauty, where the air is clean, and every heart finds Peace. In such a world, technology doesn’t pollute, divide or destroy; it nurtures and connects. It helps souls and spirits thrive, strengthens communities, and inspires gratitude for the Creator’s gift of life.

However, here on Earth, so many are treading a darker path. Those in power, lured by self-interest, twist technology into instruments of destruction—nuclear weapons, invasive surveillance, addictive screens—all disguised as progress but rooted in fear, greed, and control. Once unleashed, these technologies often spiral out of control, harming the very lives they were meant to enhance. In their hands, progress becomes a harmful journey.

But does it have to be this way? If our hearts are filled with Goodness and we strive for Divine Virtues—Love, Peace, Compassion, Kindness, Humility, Fairness etc—then technology can simply be another way to express these Truths. In that Light, it’s not a barrier but a bridge, a pathway to deeper understanding, community, and service.

Moreover, there are still those who find Joy in the simpler rhythms of life. They wander barefoot through fields free from power lines, inhale the fresh air, and soak in the sweet sounds of birds singing. They live in a Paradise reminiscent of days gone by, a sort of Golden Age, satisfied with a life that requires little intervention. Their existence serves as a reminder that technology should never overshadow our roots: our bond with nature, with the Divine, and with each other.

In reality, neither a fear of technology nor a blind acceptance of every new gadget is the solution. What we truly need is discernment. Let our innovations be guided by our highest ideals rather than our evil purposes. May every advancement resonate with Compassion, Love, and Peace.

When progress is aligned with a Holy Purpose, it becomes a True Gift. When technology is called to uphold Divine Values, it turns—not into an obstacle—but into a pathway that leads us toward a world that is more beautiful, more just, and filled with Light.

The Cosmic Eden we cannot enter

The Love which moves the Sun and the other stars” (Dante - Paradiso, XXXIII)

Humanity is confined here, on this Earth. Despite our dreams of reaching the stars and other dimensions, of stepping on distant worlds and becoming a cosmic species, we remain trapped on this small blue planet, not by technology, but by our own hearts. The Earth is not our prison, but our mirror. As long as we still bring war to our neighbors, we are not ready to go beyond. If we cannot love those close to us, how could we be entrusted with contact with other civilizations, that is to say those living in Peace, far ahead in Spiritual Evolution?

The book Angels in Starships by Giorgio Dibitonto tells us of a journey to a higher world (chapter 15), a planet of Immense Beauty, Harmony, and Peace, inhabited by beings who live in Total Union with nature and with Divine Laws. The description is simple yet breathtaking: a vibrant world with golden light, lush vegetation, joyful animals, and advanced beings who have chosen Love over hatred. Unlike Earth, no cities dominate the land. Instead, people live immersed in nature, in communities that respect life and the will of our Creator.

Reading this chapter, we are faced with a deep question: What would humanity bring to such a world? Would we bring our love, our peace, our wisdom, our knowledge, our culture, or… our pride, our divisions, our wars? The Truth is painful but clear: we are not ready. As the beings in the story say, these advanced civilizations follow the Universal Law of Love. This law is not only spiritual; it is practical. It is the foundation of their technology, their society, their way of life.

And yet, these beings do not reject us. In the amazing gathering described at the end of the chapter, a shining figure—one who many may recognise as Christ in Celestial Form—speaks of Love, Forgiveness, and the Transformation of Earth. He adds: “Soon I will make all things new.” He declares that the time will come when humanity, purified and reborn, that will have pursued the Love Path, will join the Big Universal Family.

But first, we must learn. We must give up hatred and violence. The Earth, as it is now, is a test. It is here that we must prove ourselves capable of choosing Peace. Until then, the other dimensions and stars will remain out of reach. Not because of distance, but because of our choices and their consequences.

This is why, as the Celestial Spirit says, even the Angels stand guard. The Cherubim, the watchers, will not allow us to spread destruction across the Universe. God and His Messengers will not let us colonise, exploit, or corrupt other worlds as we have our own.

Therefore, the final message is clear: the other worlds and stars are not for the evil, the proud, and those who are against Love, but for the virtuous, the humble, the peaceful, those who are full of Love, Lights in a world full of darkness. Only when Earth becomes again a Garden of Eden—not through escape, but through transformation—will humanity be free to travel beyond, welcomed as brothers and sisters among the stars.

The Sacred Line of Saint Michael the Archangel

Across Europe and the Mediterranean area, there is a mysterious and Sacred Path known as the Sacred Line of Saint Michael the Archangel. This line connects seven ancient sanctuaries dedicated to Saint Michael, the powerful Archangel who, according to the Bible, defeated satan in a great battle in Heaven (Rv 12:7–8).

What makes this line so fascinating is that all seven sanctuaries are perfectly aligned in a straight line. Even more amazingly, this line follows the direction of the sunset on the summer solstice. It is said that this is not just a coincidence, but a sign of Divine Order.

The journey begins in the far west, on the coast of Ireland, at the monastery of Skellig Michael. Built on a rocky island in the Atlantic Ocean, it is a place of deep silence and spiritual power.

The line continues to St Michael’s Mount in Cornwall, England. Like its twin in France, it rises from the sea and was once a place of pilgrimage for monks and knights.

Next comes the famous Mont Saint-Michel in Normandy, France, one of the most visited sacred places in the world. During low tide, pilgrims can walk to it across the sand, just as they did in the Middle Ages.

The line then crosses into Italy, where it reaches the Sacra di San Michele in Val di Susa, built high on a rocky mountain. This majestic monastery watches over the valley like a spiritual guardian.

Further south, still in Italy, lies the Sanctuary of Saint Michael the Archangel in Monte Sant’Angelo, on the Gargano Peninsula. This is one of the oldest places of worship dedicated to Saint Michael, known for its sacred cave where He appeared. This is the Celestial Basilica.

From Italy, the line stretches to Symi Island in Greece, where the Monastery of Panormitis stands. This beautiful white monastery faces the sea and is known for its miracles and devotion to Saint Michael.

Finally, the line ends in the Holy Land, at the Monastery of Stella Maris, on Mount Carmel, near Haifa, Israel. It is a peaceful and powerful place overlooking the Mediterranean.

Many people believe this line marks the path of Saint Michael’s sword, the one he used to cast satan into hell. For centuries, the line was honoured by pilgrims, saints, and the Knights Templar. Medieval Christians believed that walking this path brought them closer to God and protected them from evil.

Even today, the Sacred Line reminds us of the fight between Good and evil, Light and darkness. Saint Michael stands as a Heavenly Protector, ready to help us in times of trouble.

We end with the powerful prayer written by Pope Leo XIII, asking for Saint Michael’s Protection:

Latin:

Sancte Michael Archangele,
defende nos in proelio;
contra nequitiam et insidias diaboli esto praesidium.
Imperet illi Deus, supplices deprecamur:
tuque, Princeps militiae caelestis,
Satanam aliosque spiritus malignos,
qui ad perditionem animarum pervagantur in mundo,
divina virtute, in infernum detrude.
Amen.

English:

Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle.
Be our protection against the malice and snares of the devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray.
And do thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Host,
by the power of God, thrust into hell
Satan and all evil spirits
who wander through the world
for the ruin of souls.
Amen.

The dawn of a New Epoch: Joachim of Fiore's Three Ages, the Era of Peace, and echoes in Giordano Bruno

The concept of a "New Era" has captivated thinkers and theologians for centuries, with its roots deeply embedded in apocalyptic and millennialist thought. A pivotal figure in shaping Western perceptions of the future is Joachim of Fiore, a 12th-century Italian abbot whose theories profoundly influenced ideas of history, progress, and societal transformation. Moreover, some authors have analysed Joachim's framework of the Three Ages (status), with a particular focus on the anticipated Age of the Holy Spirit, and have explored how these themes resonate with the philosophy of Giordano Bruno, a Renaissance figure who envisioned his own kind of transformation.

Joachim of Fiore, the Three Ages and The Age of the Holy Spirit

Joachim of Fiore introduced a dynamic interpretation of history, diverging from the more static Augustinian view that dominated medieval thought. He proposed a model of the Three Ages (status), each linked to a person of the Holy Trinity, thereby providing a theological framework for historical evolution.

The first age, the Age of the Father, corresponded to the Old Testament, the Kingdom of Israel, and the reign of the flesh. This was a period characterised by a more materialistic and worldly existence. The second age, the Age of the Son, began with the incarnation of Christ and represented a period of struggle between flesh and spirit.

However, it would be the third age, the Age of the Holy Spirit, that would hold the promise of radical change and ultimate transformation of the world. This would be an era of spiritual renewal and purity, where the humankind would reject its worldly power, and the faithful would live directly under the guidance of the Holy Spirit. The age would be marked by Unity among all people, Christians, Jews and Muslims etc, who would come together. This age would be a time of Peace, Prosperity, and Harmony, fulfilling God’s Plan for Humanity. The Age of the Holy Spirit would be transformative, correcting the corruptions and injustices that had plagued our world.

Joachim envisioned the Age of the Holy Spirit as an era of profound transformation. He prophesied the rectification of society's corruption, with a return to the purity of Christ's teachings. The Universal Unity would be restored, and even other faiths would find Harmony within a Universal Spiritual Understanding. This new age would be characterised by genuine Peace and widespread Prosperity, lasting until the end of the world.

Central to this progress was the rise of "spiritual men," who would be active in the world, embodying Christ's teachings through service and compassion. Joachim foresaw new ascetic orders that would synthesise contemplation and action, driving the transformation of the world.

Furthermore, Joachim's vision included the unveiling of new, previously unknown Spiritual Truths, facilitated by the development of "spiritual intelligence" in humanity. This would lead to an evolution of humankind, moving away from hierarchy and towards egalitarianism and communal living. In essence, Joachim painted a picture of a future characterised by social Justice, spiritual Enlightenment, and continuous Progress, accessible to all people.

Finally, the transition to the Age of the Holy Spirit, however, wouldn't be seamless. Joachim predicted a period of tribulation and upheaval, a necessary "cleansing" of the old order. This era of tribulation, while difficult, was seen as a necessary prelude to the coming Peace and Justice.

 

Echoes of transformation: Giordano Bruno and the Renaissance

While separated by centuries, the themes of transformation and a new era found resonance in the philosophy of Giordano Bruno. This Renaissance philosopher and cosmologist challenged the established order of his time with his heliocentric worldview and his vision of an infinite universe. Like Joachim, Bruno envisioned a shift in understanding and a move away from the limitations of the old world.

Furthermore, Bruno's final moments were marked by a profound dialogue with his disciple Sagredo. The philosopher reflected on history's frequent marking by death rather than life, noting that an illustrious death often provokes fear, disquiet, and inquiry. This realization brought him peace, as he understood himself to be fulfilling his destiny. When Sagredo expressed concern about the impending flames, Bruno admitted his physical fear but asserted his spiritual immortality. He envisioned witnessing his own body's demise and the reactions of his persecutors. Moreover, Bruno lamented the illusions and ignorance that plague humanity, asserting that unhappiness, stemming from the limitations of the human mind, rather than inherent evil, is the root cause of suffering.

The philosopher described this fate as common to all those who seek the Truth in a world governed by falsehood. He also prophesied a future awakening for humanity, a realization of their true nature and a rejection of the deceptive forces that enslave them. He declared humanity's boundless potential and the eventual attainment of freedom in this world. Turning to Sagredo with an almost radiant expression, he affirmed that Life had foreseen this freedom since ancient times. Then, in response to Sagredo's questioning of this cruel destiny, Bruno stated that he himself had chosen it before his earthly existence. He described the fiery death of the physical body as a profound purification, a Baptism of Fire chosen by many, both as an example to a misguided humanity and to fulfill a divinely appointed task undertaken out of Love. He posited that even his death would unveil the hidden power structures behind all worldly authorities. In an illusory realm dominated by deceit, hypocritical virtue, and fear, an illustrious death, he argued, holds more power than a lifetime, etched in human memory. Besides, Bruno characterised Earth as a rigorous learning environment where every action leaves an indelible mark, asserting the existence of True Justice, even if unseen in the present world.

Then, when Sagredo questioned if True Justice demanded his death, Bruno replied that it was willed by their true, immortal selves, not their transient physical forms. He stated that beings are ultimately the architects of their own experiences. The true Self, he explained, does not fear death, recognizing its illusory nature. Birth into this world brings about a sensory deception, a belief in appearances, and an ignorance of our innate blindness and deafness. We are, he declared, children of the singular, True Sun that illuminates all worlds. In addition, Bruno foresaw a coming New Era on Earth where death would be understood as non-existent, and misery and suffering would be recognised as products of fear and ignorance of true reality. Some Celestial Beings, he asserted, watch over Earth's development, and some are born into the world to aid humanity in understanding that transformation hinges on their awakening. Sagredo was profoundly impacted, gaining insight into previously unknown truths. Bruno continued, explaining that the "Baptism of Fire" serves to transmute the physical body and reveal the true, immortal Beings. He deemed their unveiling inevitable, though the timing remained uncertain. He knew that many had come in their era to advance arts and sciences, planting the seeds of a new culture that would blossom unexpectedly, precisely when the established powers believed they had triumphed. In the end, Bruno concluded by assuring Sagredo that they were not truly separating, for separation is an illusion, and all beings are eternally connected to the One Soul.

 

Characteristics of the New Era

This New Era, the Third Age of the Holy Spirit, emerging from this period of transition, would be characterised by several key features:

· Spiritual Renewal: The mankind would be purified, focusing on spiritual guidance rather than worldly power.

· Social Justice: Society would become more egalitarian, with a focus on communal living and mutual service.

· Universal Peace: Conflict and division would give way to Harmony and understanding between peoples and faiths.

· Progress and Evolution: Humanity would experience continuous spiritual and intellectual growth, with new Truths being revealed over time.

· Emphasis on Transformation: Both thinkers, in their respective contexts, saw the need for a radical shift away from the limitations of the old world.

· Human Potential: Both expressed a belief in the untapped potential of humanity. Joachim's "spiritual intelligence" and Bruno's emphasis on expanding human understanding resonate with this idea.

The Great Warning is the Last Great Gift of God

Many people in the world today don’t believe in God or have forgotten Him. They are busy with daily life and don’t think much about their soul and their spirit. But God is a Loving Father. He doesn’t want anyone to be lost. Because of this, He has decided to send the world a special moment. This moment is called The Great Warning. It is also called the Illumination of Conscience. This event will be very big! It will touch every person in the world. It is the last Big Gift of God’s Mercy before harder times come.

The Great Warning isn’t something new. For many years, God, Jesus, and the Virgin Mary have told people about this event. They spoke to many chosen souls across the world. These messages were given through dreams, visions, and inner voices. All the messages talk about the same thing. They say that God will allow people to see their own soul the way He sees it. Every person will understand the good and bad they have done. Everyone will see how their sins have hurt themselves, others, and God. This will be very hard, but it will also be a Great Act of Love.

What will happen during the Great Warning?

According to Luz de Maria and other modern prophets, before the Great Warning happens, there will be signs in the sky. People will see a very Big Cross in the sky. It will shine with Great Light. It will be brighter than the sun. Everyone on Earth will see this Cross. It will stay in the sky for several days. Then, something like two stars will crash in the sky. There will be a strong light and a loud sound. The sky will become dark, and then very bright. This will scare many people. But it won’t hurt the body. It isn’t a physical disaster. It’s a spiritual one.

After this cosmic sign, the real Warning will begin. Every person on Earth will feel it. It doesn’t matter if someone believes in God or not. It doesn’t matter where they live. It doesn’t matter what religion they are. Everyone will be alone, with only their soul and God. Time will feel like it’s stopped. This moment will last around 15 to 20 minutes, but it will feel much longer. In this time, every person will see all their sins. They will see the good they didn’t do. They will feel the pain of their sins. They will see the effects of their actions on other people. They will feel sorry or afraid. Many will cry.

This experience will be like watching a movie of your life. But it won’t be a normal film. You’ll feel every moment deeply. You’ll feel the pain you gave to others. You’ll feel the sadness that God feels when we sin. You’ll also feel joy when you remember the good things you did. But for most people, it will be very hard. Some may even want to die because they feel so bad. Others will repent and turn back to God.

Why is God sending this Warning?

God is sending this Warning because He loves us. Many people are far from Him. They live in sin and don’t even know it. Some have never heard the Truth. Others have forgotten it. The world today is full of lies, pride, hate, and confusion. The Warning is like a strong shake to wake up the souls. It’s not a punishment. It’s a chance. It’s a chance to see the Truth. It’s a chance to return to God. It’s a call to conversion.

This is the last Big Act of God’s Mercy before a time of suffering comes. After the Warning, there will be a Great Miracle for the whole world. This Miracle will prove that the Warning came from God. After the Miracle, there will be a time of punishment for the world. This will be a purification. But the Warning comes first, because God wants to give us a choice. He wants us to decide: do we want to live with Him or without Him?

The Warning is also a preparation. It prepares the heart for the days that come soon. It helps people change before the punishment arrives. It’s also a way to bring Unity. If many people repent, the punishment may be smaller. But if people ignore the Warning, things will get even worse.

How will people feel during the Warning?

Many people will feel great fear. Others will feel great sorrow. Some may feel joy because they are ready. It depends on the state of each soul. If a person is close to God, they will feel peace. If a person is far from God, they’ll feel emptiness. Some people may feel like God is not there. They’ll feel alone and scared. This is called the “absence of God.” It’s a very painful feeling. It’s what hell is like.

Luz de Maria had a vision of the Warning. She felt very bad during it. She felt deep loneliness. She felt all the pain of sins like abortion, suicide, abuse, and hate. She felt that God had left her. It was very scary. But then, after a long time, she felt Peace. She said that the Warning is something no one can really be ready for, but it will change your life forever.

Another visionary named Conchita from Garabandal said the same thing. She saw the Warning in a vision. She said it will be like a purification. Everyone will see themselves like God sees them. She said even non-believers will know it comes from God. But many will still reject it. She said some people may even die from the shock or the fear. Others will run to the church and confess their sins. Some will be angry and say it’s fake.

What do other messages say?

Many saints and mystics have spoken about the Warning. A woman named Maria Esperanza said that it will be like a bright day of Light. People’s hearts will be shaken. They’ll see all their sins. They’ll want to fix their lives and give their hearts to Jesus.

In Medjugorje, one of the visionaries said that there will be three warnings. The Warning is the first one. Then there will be a visible sign for the whole world. Then the time of Mercy will end. She said we must convert now. We must not wait. Time is short.

In other places, like El Escorial and Betania, the Virgin Mary also spoke about this. She said that the Warning is very near. She said it’s a Great Act of Love from God. She said that we must prepare with prayer, confession, and penance.

Saint Faustina also had a message from Jesus. He told her that before the Judgement Day, there will be a sign in the sky. A Cross will appear. Then there will be darkness. Then lights will come from the wounds of Jesus and shine on the Earth. This is very similar to the Warning.

Father Stefano Gobbi, a holy priest from Italy, received many messages from the Blessed Virgin Mary. This was part of the Marian Movement of Priests. In the messages, Mary spoke about the Warning too.

She said:

“The Holy Spirit will come, to prepare the glorious reign of Christ. It will be a Reign of Grace, Holiness, Love, Justice and Peace. With His Divine Fire, He will open the hearts of all and will illuminate all consciences.”

She explained that this will be like a small judgment. Everyone will see their life in the Light of God. She said:

“It will be something very great, that has never happened before. It will be like a small judgment and everyone will see their life and all their works in the light of God.”

This message is very similar to what others have received. Don Gobbi explained that this Warning is not the end, but the beginning of a new time. It is a great moment of grace. But it also brings responsibility. People must decide: Do I follow God or not?

Mary told Don Gobbi that the Luminous Cross in the sky will be a sign. It will stretch from east to west. It will show that Jesus is coming soon in His glory. It will mark the end of the time of darkness and the beginning of the New Era.

She said:

“The Luminous Cross that will appear in the sky at the end of the purification and the great tribulation, will be the door that opens the dark tomb where humanity lies, to bring it into the New Kingdom of Life.”

These messages are full of Hope. But they also ask for serious preparation. Don Stefano Gobbi said many times that now is the time to pray, confess, and return to God. The Warning will be sudden. But God is preparing us with these words of Love.

How can we prepare?

The best way to prepare for the Warning is to be in the state of Grace.We should pray every day. We should practise and spread Virtues (Love, Peace, Harmony, Righteousness, Loyalty, Respect, Altruism). We should do good deeds. We should try to love others. The Warning isn’t something to be afraid of if you love and follow God. It’s a Divine Gift. It is a Great Help. It will show us the Truth. It will give us the chance to say sorry and change. But if we are not ready, it will be very painful. That’s why it’s important to start now.

God always gives us time. He does not want to punish. He wants to forgive. But He also respects our freedom. He won’t force us. He lets us choose. That’s why the Warning is important. It gives us the Light to see clearly. Then we must choose the path we want.

What will happen after the Warning?

After the Warning, there will be many changes. Some people will repent and become holy. Others will become harder and will hate God more. Many will try to explain the Warning in scientific ways. They will say it was a natural thing. They will try to lead people away from the Truth.

But those who believe will become stronger. Many souls will return to God. A Great Miracle will come after. Then a time of Peace will begin for those who love God. But before that, there will be suffering. There will be wars, disease, and darkness. That is why we must be strong.

Jesus told Luz de Maria that the whole Universe is waiting to be clean. Even nature is hurt by sin. That’s why the sky and the stars will show signs. All of this is to bring New Life. God is making all things new.

Final words

The Great Warning is real. It’s coming. We don’t know the day or the hour. But the signs show us it’s close. The world is in crisis. People are turning away from God. That’s why God is sending this last chance. It is His way of calling us home.

We must not wait. We must change our lives now. We must pray more. We must practise Virtues. We must forgive others. We must help those in need. We must LOVE.

When the Great Warning comes, it will be hard. But it will also be beautiful. It will be the moment when many people see how much God loves them. Even in pain, His Love will shine. Let’s get ready. Let’s open our hearts. Let’s say yes to God.

This is the Last Great Gift of God before the Time of Justice. Let’s not waste it!
