SEPTEMBER 23rd, 1859 – MEDIUM MR. R.
Up until now the war has not been seen but from its material side: intestine wars, wars of people against people. You have seen in wars no more than conquests, slavery, blood, death, ruins. It is now time to consider them from a moralizing and progressive standpoint.
War sows death and ideas along its path. Ideas blossom and grow. After the temper of the spiritual life, the spirit comes to fructify them. Hence, do not curse the diplomat who prepared the fight, nor the captain who led his troops to victory.
There are great fights in preparation. These are fights of good against evil, darkness against light, the spirit of progress against the stagnant ignorance. Patiently wait since your curses or praises may not change God’s will. God will always know how to maintain or to keep away from the theater of the events God’s instruments, according to the accomplishment or abuse of their missions, serving their personal interests by the power acquired through their successes.
You have the example of the modern Cesar and mine. I had to atone my faults through several miserable and obscure existences, and the last time I lived on Earth it was by the name of Louis IX.
Julio Cesar
