Let Us Always Be Like Sweethearts!

Love establishes sympathy. And this is the attraction that does not die, the Spirit’s eternal grace. Not even death separates those who love each other. Valentine’s Day! When one loves, times go by, and even the marks on the face of the loved one...

Misgoverned Thoughts and the “Invisible Wolf”

My Friends, Brothers, and Sisters, in my book A Missão dos Setenta e o “lobo invisível” [The Mission of the Seventy and the “Invisible Wolf”], I included a lecture I gave on the Good Will Super Radio Network on December 31, 2004....

Divine Creativity

I usually say that difficulty promotes creativity. We should therefore try to combine the art of innovation, granted by God, with the eternal teachings of the Holy Gospel-Apocalypse of Jesus. It is advisable to analyze and experience the events of life—either personal or collective—at all times in Spirit and Truth, in the light of the New Commandment of the Ecumenical Christ, the Sublime Statesman (The Gospel according to John 13:34 and 35). Then, we will be more capable of finding—through our connection with the Higher Spiritual World and based on the practice of universal values as revealed by the Supreme Administrator of this planet—practical solutions to be transformed into eloquent results, as I require of my competent team at the Good Will Organizations.*

It is timely to point out the recommendation by Robert Herbold, who was the Chief Operating Officer of Microsoft Corporation for eight years: “The problem that affects many creative teams is that they follow many things and pursue many bright ideas. . . . A good number of meetings would turn unique ideas into average ideas. What the groups of people do is they take unique ideas and adapt them to make them totally acceptable to the group as a whole. . . . And that creates mediocrity. Teams exist to improve processes.”

Take note of something I said decades ago: Good management means arriving in advance.

José de Paiva Netto (1941-2025), a writer, journalist, radio broadcaster, educator, composer, poet, the President Emeritus and Consolidator of the Legion of Good Will, and Spiritual Leader of the Religion of God, of the Christ, and of the Holy Spirit. He was an effective member of the Brazilian Press Association (ABI) and the Brazilian International Press Association (ABI-Inter), a member of the National Federation of Journalists (FENAJ), the International Federation of Journalists (IFJ), the Union of Professional Journalists of the State of Rio de Janeiro, the Union of Writers of Rio de Janeiro, the Radio Broadcasters Union of Rio de Janeiro, the Brazilian Union of Composers (UBC), and the Academy of Letters of Central Brazil. He became an internationally recognized author in the defense of human rights and in his concepts of Ecumenical Citizenship and Ecumenical Spirituality, which, in his own words, represent “the cradle of the most generous values that are born of the Soul, the dwelling of emotions and of reasoning enlightened by intuition; the atmosphere that embraces everything that transcends the ordinary field of matter and comes from elevated human sensitivity, such as Truth, Justice, Mercy, Ethics, Honesty, Generosity, and Fraternal Love. In short, the mathematical constant that harmonizes the equation of spiritual, moral, mental, and human existence. Now, without the understanding that we exist on two planes―not only on the physical plane―it will be difficult to build a Society that is truly Ecumenical, Altruistic, and Solidary, since we would still be ignoring that the knowledge of Superior Spirituality elevates the character of creatures and, consequently, leads to the construction of the Planetary Citizenship.”
