TOTUS TUUS, MARIA!

By order of the Mistress of all souls and by way of introducing the present writing I testify to the fact that all texts contained in the present menu item God and the animals, as well as the manifesto written several years earlier entitled The Brooklets of Salvation, are the ultimate fruits of a great number of visions and private revelations through which Mary began to prepare me even prior to Her inspiring The Brooklets of Salvation, as well as of a remarkable number of rather unusual experiences with animals in my private life.
One day the Queen of Heaven explained that She Herself was at the basis of these experiences because through my own private life She intented to provide evidence for the extraordinary yet very greatly underestimated role played by the animals as channels of God’s Love and as tools for moulding human souls’ spiritual life.
Through this testimony the Mother of God offers a first incentive for reflection to souls who might fall prey to the temptation of believing that spiritual manifestoes dealing with the tremendous role played by animals and the tremendous importance of the way animals are treated by human souls should not be taken very seriously. In point of fact their importance is considerable, in view of the fulfilment of the Divine Law of true Love and of combating all darkness, misery and feelings of unhappiness in the world.
I vouch with my life for the fact all of these inspirations find their origin in authentic celestial sources.
Myriam, at the service of Mary, the Mistress of all souls.

Outline of God’s Basic Thesis as to the
PROPER WAY FOR HUMAN SOULS TO DEAL WITH THE ANIMALS

Special Revelation by Mary,
Mother of Christ and Queen of Heaven

to Myriam van Nazareth

The following Revelation was inspired by the Holy Virgin Mary right before Pentecost 2020, and motivated by Her as follows:

"Submit the following outline to the souls, which I present to them as the Basic Thesis of God Himself as to the appropriate way for the human soul to deal with the animals. In truth I say that this outline also serves as a spiritual justification of the works wrought by organisations for the protection and well-being of the animals and fighting all forms of abuse and neglect of animals".

The Holy Virgin Mary develops the following outline:

   1. Just like every human soul every animal is a creature of God. The animals were created to increase the human soul’s joy and to help the latter perfect her spiritual development (see nr. 11).

   2. God made the human soul the custodian of creation, under the obligation to represent Him and His perfect Love towards all creatures – fellow people and animals alike, even plant life.

   3. God has designed His creation as a network in which all creatures are interconnected. Therefore all behaviour and every single inner disposition harbored by every single human soul has got an impact – which can be either positive or negative – on the network as a whole.

   4. Every creature receives its life on earth for a specific purpose and with a specific role within God’s Plan. This is why every single creature must be regarded as a tool provided by God with a view to accomplishing His Works. The final goal of all of God’s Works lies in the establishment of God’s Kingdom of perfect Love, Peace, happiness and Justice among all creatures, the state of living I referred to earlier as the Messianic Age (* see further below).

   5. God prefers to accomplish His Works and Plans first and foremost through the voluntary, spontaneous and active collaboration from human souls. The fuel needed for all these Works and Plans is called True Love (** see further below).

   6. This is why God expects every animal to be treated with soft, self-denying Love, respect and dignity, the human soul being fully aware that deep inside every creature is a bearer of God’s signature, and is a tool serving the completion of His Works, and that therefore it possesses a dignity which is not of this world.

   7. The way of treatment referred to in the previous paragraph is rated by God as an indisputable law, based on and justified by the human soul’s mission in life as entrusted to her by God, viz. to live a life only at the service of God’s Works on earth. This mission is indeed the only true purpose of life on earth.

   8. The Creator provides every human soul with the knowledge and awareness of the fact that self-denying Love is the actual force carrying all Life within the whole network of creation, and that therefore every lack of Love in a human soul’s behaviour, including behaviour towards an animal, makes this soul guilty of disrupting or counteracting God’s Works and Plans and of decreasing the vital force circulating through the whole network of creation.

   9. Having regard to the fact a loving and respectful way of dealing with all animals is a Divine Law every violation against this Law through any unloving way of dealing with an animal is actually regarded as a sin.

  10. Every animal is provided by God with specific faculties (which vary endlessly from species to species and from individual to individual) owing to which the animal is able to function as a channel for the flow of Love God keeps sending through the entire network of creation. God intends every animal to be enabled to use its faculties to help human souls defeat inner factors which make it difficult for her to practice true self-denying Love, or even prevent her from practicing such Love. These faculties are greater and more significant in proportion as the animal belongs to a so-called higher species.

  11. On account of its specific faculties every animal is able to help unlock human souls' spiritual faculties, promote their bloom and contribute to their perfection. This is why animals are often able to help heal a human soul emotionally and spiritually and to help perfect a soul in the practice of many virtues (patience, softness, respect, self-denial, tolerance...).

  12. Therefore every form of maltreatment, abuse or neglect by a human soul to the detriment of an animal is tantamount to a multiple breach of a covenant this soul has entered into before God:

  • a violation against the Law of True Love;
  • an omission to fulfil the soul’s mission in life as a representative and a reflection of God and His Love towards a fellow creature;
  • an act of putting to shame a gift granted by God to the soul by sending an animal unto the soul's path through life as an auxiliary in the soul’s spiritual perfection
  • an open act of thwarting God’s goal to lead creation towards a kingdom of perfect Love, Peace, happiness and Justice for all creatures through a stainless practice of Love.

In conclusion the Queen of Heaven says:

"It already says in the Bible that God entrusted the human soul with the mission of being a custodian to creation and having dominion over all creatures. This does not mean that God would have given man permission to abuse or maltreat animals or to offend against their dignity. What it does mean, is that He expected the human soul to make His Presence and His actions felt towards all creatures, and to deal with all creatures the way He Himself would deal with them, viz. with unconditional self-denying Love and full respect for their God-given dignity.

This is how God also made the human soul responsible for the treatment and well-being of all animals and for a smooth and unstained flow of Divine Love through all of creation.

Therefore the human soul is also responsible for every disruption in creation, for creation is disrupted by every expression of sin and darkness, i.e. by every lack of Love in human souls' attitudes and dispositions towards any fellow creature (fellow people and animals, even the plant world).

The souls must never lose sight of the fact that all misery, darkness, sufferings, chaos, injustice and unhappiness in the world, including the disorders in nature and climate, as well as all predatory behaviour and aggression among creatures have basically entered creation through the original sin and the countless subsequent sins committed by human souls of all times.

I have been pointing out on several occasions that the portion of all phenomena which can be observed, measured and/or explained by science is merely the proverbial visible tip of the iceberg: Ninety per cent of an iceberg is invisible due to the fact this portion is submerged under water and only ten per cent can be perceived. In a similar way the major portion of all disruptions and disorders in creation has its origins in spiritual processes and is of a spiritual nature, so that they can neither be observed or measured through the senses nor with the help of scientific instruments. This is exactly why science is deficient in the field of providing complete explanations of any phenomena in the world. Explanations which do not take spiritual factors into account, or which are unable to do so, respectively, are unavoidably incomplete, inaccurate, in many cases even downright false.

In truth I say that science is only able to perceive and explain a minimal portion of all that is happening in creation. The absolute major factor of all processes taking place within and between creatures is the Divine Law of True Love, which cannot be perceived through the senses, and the extent to which this Law is, or is not, fulfilled by human souls.

All actions, words, thoughts, feelings, desires, aspirations and inner dispositions by, and proceeding from, human souls towards their fellow creatures – both fellow people and animals – are to a certain extent either bearers of Love or bearers of lovelessness. All love reinforces the vital force within creation and helps maintain harmony between creation and all creatures on the one hand and God’s Laws of life, growth and bloom on the other, and enables Divine Intelligence to produce its effects in creation. Every lack of Love weakens the vital force and disrupts and poisons the vital processes within creatures and disrupts the balance within creation, including the climatological balance.

This is why I have repeatedly emphasized, and I am doing this again in the present revelation which I am addressing to all human souls in the form of a very urgent and extremely important call, that a large share in all misery, sufferings, injustice, chaos, unhappiness, misfortune, the general atmosphere of darkness, oppression, insecurity, anxiety, fear, pointlessness and lack of prospects in the world is caused by the many millions of violations committed globally day after day by humans against animals through the most various forms of maltreatment, neglect and degradation.

This world cannot be delivered from the tremendous darkness of all misery if not millions of human souls radically transform their dispositions, their attitude and their behaviour towards animals. To that end these dispositions, attitude and behaviour must be thoroughly cleansed from every dark inclination, indifference and lack of Love and replaced by sincere self-denying Love, a true sense of caring and the firm will to regard every animal as a creature God has provided for within creation for a specific reason and a specific purpose. Animals must not be regarded as slaves to humans but as valuable fellow creatures and travelling companions with the human soul on a joint way to the promised messianic age, a creation in a state of perfect Love, Peace, happiness and Justice for all creatures.

Every act of maltreatment, abuse, neglect and degradation of an animal by a human soul pours down yet further darkness and suffering upon the world and thereby further defers the fulfilment of the Divine Promise. A human soul who maltreats animals thereby enhances misery, suffering, darkness and misfortune for fellow creatures, for creation as a whole and for herself. In the end the soul always reaps the fruits of her own sowing. What goes around, comes around, and whoever sows darkness will never reap Light".

Thus ends the Revelation of May 2020. The Queen of Heaven emphatically refers to the comprehensive manifesto entitled The Brooklets of Salvation.

(*) As to the Messianic Age the Queen of Heaven refers to the submenu entitled God and the animals > Messianic Age.

(**) As to True Love in September 2013 the Holy Virgin Mary provided an extensive in-depth definition, which is quoted again here for the sake of completeness:

True Love is the essence, the actual nature of Divine Life. It is the disposition in which all of the soul’s actions, words, thoughts, feelings, desires and aspirations are whole-heartedly, voluntarily and spontaneously geared to:

1. enhancing in every fellow creature and in a perfectly unselfish, disinterested and unconditional way this creature’s spiritual, mental, emotional and physical vital strength and its spiritual, mental, emotional and physical sense of well-being, and to maintaining and defending the unscathed dignity of every fellow creature as a work of God; and

2. making a maximum contribution to the accomplishment and completion of God’s Plans and Works on earth, in other words: to the fulfilment of His Law, whereby making this contribution is pursued with absolute preference over satisfying one’s own needs and desires.

Living in true Love is living in such a way that the soul, through all of her actions, omission, words, thoughts, feelings, aspirations, all of her inner dispositions and the aura enveloping her entire being, conveys:

  • Light
  • warmth
  • feelings of security
  • inner peace
  • brightfulness
  • hope
  • relief
  • encouragement
  • trust, confidence
  • vital strength
  • zest for life
  • feelings of meaningfulness with respect to life as such
  • enhanced feelings of individual dignity, and
  • the intuitive certainty of God’s proximity

onto the journey through life to be made by every single fellow being Divine Providence guides onto her own path, no matter for how long or in what form such encounters present themselves, and that she harbours nothing but positive feelings and thoughts towards these fellow creatures and wishes the latter nothing but happiness and bloom on every level of their being and in all situations of their lives.

In the Easter Season of 2020 Mary, the Queen of Heaven and earth, said to Myriam:

"God’s Basic Law is the Law of true self-denying Love. God judges the spiritual value and fruitfulness of every human soul according to the degree of pure, self-denying, unconditional Love she has spontaneously and voluntarily practiced in every detail and under all circumstances of her life, in every encounter with a fellow creature.

True self-denying Love is the absolute opposite of sin. Sin is darkness, true Love is Light. Darkness is everything which defiles, thwarts, harms and tries to destroy Divine Works. Light is everything which helps accomplish God’s Works, for the glorification of God and of His true nature, which is nothing but the purest Love without even the slightest trace of darkness.

Every trace of lack of Love in behaviour separates a soul from her Creator and His Works, and thereby counteracts the perceptible effects produced by the Law of true Love in creation. This counteraction is expressed in all disruption and all derailment which can clearly be noticed in the world around you: chaos, misery, suffering, injustice, inner strife, anxiety, fear and unhappiness.

Many souls – even among the Christians – fail to understand and to realize that even lack of Love, insensitivity and indifference in each and every encounter with animals envelops the guilty human soul in darkness, and that also on account of the tremendous frequency of this kind of behaviour in every encounter with animals on a global scale, day after day, and not only on account of all darkness in the contacts among human souls, all of creation is enveloped in an ever growing layer of darkness.

I point out that every trace of darkness in a human soul’s behaviour or disposition towards an animal expresses the fact this soul is following an inspiration to act as a tool for the completion of a threefold plan of destruction harboured by Satan:

  1. Satan is attempting to cause physical and emotional pain, harm and torture to a living being, work of God, to rob it of its dignity and, if at all possible, to destroy it, in order that the culture of death may be glorified;
  2. Satan is attempting to envelop the soul who has acted upon his inspiration in darkness, no matter which species of fellow creature is meant to be the victim of the inspiration;
  3. Satan attempts to keep enhancing the disruption of all creation by constantly putting God’s Law of true Love to shame through the intermediary of a human soul, whereas every single human soul was intended to be a crown upon creation and a reflection of God’s Presence towards all creatures.
Behold God’s Golden Rule: The true purpose and the perfect accomplishment of every human soul’s mission in life, and thereby the true source of her own happiness and of happiness for all creation lies herein, that the soul is and lives in such a way that, to each fellow person AND to each animal that crosses her path through life, she is an enrichment, a blessing and a source of Light and warmth through all her doings, all her words, thoughts, feelings, desires, aspirations, expectations and her entire inner attitude in everything which perceptibly proceeds from her as well as everything which emanates from her on a level not perceptible by the senses. The perfect harmony among all creatures can not be achieved without an uninhibited and unconditional empathy practiced by all human souls with all her fellow creatures – fellow persons without any distinction or discrimination as well as animals.

Reflect upon all of this very thoroughly, and thus understand the scope of what mankind is doing to God, to itself and to creation as a whole, also through her attitude towards her non human fellow creatures".
