Masters of all times have left a teaching that illuminated wise men, helped those who aspired to become like them, and touched lightly a certain number of others without producing the least result. These teachings were often misunderstood, distorted and used for the purposes of power over others. They became religions, with heavy structures, which are domineering with a certain exploitation of the weakest. That is what we must avoid at any price in the Mission, in future days. The same plans should not be repeated.
"My son is restructuring the Mission. It is for him to set up a system that cannot degenerate toward letting the will for power of certain individuals, who are tempted to institute a narrow regulation which is not really along the lines of the teaching that we give you, magnify.
"The method is very simple; nothing must come to make heavy what exists. Structuring, yes, but not transforming in the wrong direction. It is the power of a few people that provoked a good many dramas in the past, and that same power continues to do it. Don't forget it.
"Humans are redoubtable. We fear that this way, with all the treasures that it includes, may not be used, as it should be in the future. Serious barriers must be put to avoid possible drifts.
"It is our concern for the present and the future. My son must choose his collaborators judiciously. Many are full of good will, but that is not sufficient. Some would like to innovate to draw the attention to themselves, which is dangerous.
"He must remain heedful and must surround himself with a few advisers whom he and we put trust in. The Mission is going to take an important turning point; nothing must be left to chance. We guide him and support him in this heavy task, with all our love and the confidence that we put in him.
"Transmit all that to him, my daughter."
