Dispensations of providence are divine will.... Guarantee for highest maturity....

It is the Lord's will that everything which lives subordinates itself to His laws, consequently nothing can happen that is not according to divine will as long as it concerns events which affect a person by providence for the purpose of inner experience. The human being's will can never oppose divine will, he will never succeed in abolishing or changing what God has determined, for such is not within his power. The human being's will has to fall in line with it, he must effectively agree even if it does not correspond to his will, since this coercion signifies his guarantee to be able to achieve the highest goal, that is, he is thereby given every opportunity towards higher development.... Nevertheless, whether he makes use of it or not entirely depends on his will. But were the human being be able to shape his own destiny this guarantee would not be given, for he has no idea what his spirit needs and in which way it can be set free. Therefore, God Himself determines the fate of every individual person and arranges it such that His will cannot be counteracted because of lack of understanding or a rebellious will. And thus the divine Creator demonstrates with His laws the most loving care for His living creations; His wisdom recognises the state of every individual and He always aims to bestow upon everyone the greatest possible means of help through dispensations of providence which ensure spiritual progress.

The fact that so many opportunities remain unused is not due to the Creator's will but is entirely due to the human being if he pays too little attention to his inner life. Yet this person could also be granted a different life but he would never use it for the benefit of his soul, therefore he should never consider his immature state of soul to be the result of his earthly destiny.... For even if God gave him the freedom to shape his own destiny he would remain on the same level since his will does not strive towards ascent. The same applies to those entities which, in full possession of their will, populate the world of the beyond and which are therefore free from all earthly weight. They, too, are subject to a certain law which they have to submit to. If they are perfect, they can only want that which is God's will.... And in the state of imperfection, the fate of the beings in the beyond is, like in earthly life, allotted to them such that it is most likely to contribute towards the soul's purification, realisation and advancement. Once again, divine will applies, and once again it is left up to them to submit themselves, i.e. their will, to divine will or to resist it, but they can never change this will or make it ineffective. One will rules all.... Everything that subordinates itself to this will of its own accord is redeemed.... yet damned are the beings which want to oppose the divine will.... For this intention will only end with their downfall. Divine will can never ever be excluded. Even where human will is at work accomplishing things which contradict divine will, it is only with God's permission that this human work succeeds in order to thereby bring help to a soul in spiritual distress, as nothing could ever happen which would be entirely against His will. For His wisdom, love and omnipotence determines everything that happens.... And this wisdom, love and omnipotence only ever wants what is best for every one of His created beings.... And therefore it is impossible for any being to oppose this will. Only the shaping of its soul is left for the being to manage itself.... This is not compelled by the Creator in the slightest, and thus the being can use its free will according to its own discretion....

Amen

ODREÐIVANJA PROVIDNOSTI SU BOŽANSKA VOLJA.... GARANCIJA ZA NAJVIŠU ZRELOST....

Volja je Gospodnja da sve što živi sebe podredi Njegovim zakonima, posljedicno tome ništa se ne može dogoditi što nije u skladu sa Božanskom voljom sve dok se to tice dogadaja koji od strane Providnosti afektiraju covjeka u svrhu unutarnjeg doživljaja. Volja ljudskog bica se ne može nikada suprotstaviti Božanskoj volji, on nece nikada uspjeti u poništavanju ili mijenjanju onog što je Bog odredio, jer takvo nešto nije unutar njegove moci (Matej 5:36). Volja ljudskog bica se mora uskladiti sa time, on se ucinkovito mora složiti cak ako to ne korespondira sa njegovom voljom, buduci ova prisila predstavlja njegovu garanciju da bude u stanju ostvariti najviši cilj, to jest, njemu je na taj nacin dana svaka prilika spram višeg razvoja.... Unatoc tome, da li se on time okoristi ili ne potpuno zavisi o njegovoj volji. Ali da je ljudsko bice bilo sposobno oblikovati svoju vlastitu sudbinu ova garancija mu ne bi bila dana, jer on nema ideje o tome što njegov duh potrebuje i na koji ga nacin može osloboditi. Prema tome, Bog Osobno odlucuje sudbinu svake pojedinacne osobe i ureduje ju tako da se Njegova volja ne može osujetiti zbog nedostatka razumijevanja ili buntovnicke volje. I tako Božanski Stvoritelj demonstrira sa Njegovim zakonima naj-ljubav-niju brigu za Njegove žive tvorevine; Njegova mudrost prepoznaje stanje svakog pojedinca i On uvijek smjera podariti svima najbolja moguca sredstva kroz odredivanja Providnosti koja osiguravaju duhovni napredak.

Cinjenica da toliko puno mogucnosti ostane neiskorišteno nije zbog volje Stvoritelja nego je u potpunosti zahvaljujuci ljudskom bicu ako on obraca premalo pažnje na njegov unutarnji život. Ipak ovoj bi osobi takoder mogao biti podaren drugaciji život ali on ga nikada ne bi iskoristio za dobrobit njegove duše, prema tome on nikada ne treba smatrati da je nezrelo stanje njegove duše rezultat njegove zemaljske sudbine.... Jer cak da mu je Bog dao slobodu da oblikuje njegovu vlastitu sudbinu on bi ostao na istom stupnju buduci njegova volja ne stremi ka usponu. Isto važi za one entitete koji, u potpunom posjedu njihove volje, nastanjuju svijet onostranog i koji su prema tome oslobodeni od svakog zemaljskog tereta. Oni su, takoder, predmetom izvjesnog zakona kojem se moraju podrediti. Ako su savršeni, oni mogu jedino željeti ono što je Božja volja.... A u stanju nesavršenstva, sudbina bica u onostranom je, kao i u zemaljskom životu, njima dodijeljena tako da ce navjerojatnije doprinijeti spram dušina procišcavanja, realizacije i napretka. Još jednom, Božanska volja se primjenjuje, i još jednom je ostavljeno na njima da sebe podrede, to jest, njihovu volju, Božanskoj volji ili da joj se odupru, ali oni nikada ne mogu promijeniti ovu volju ili ju uciniti neucinkovitom. Jedna volja vlada sv(akim)e.... Sve što sebe podredi ovoj volji samo od sebe [[(ili ‘bez prisile’) ]]je iskupljeno.... ipak prokleta su ona bica koja se žele protiviti Božanskoj volji.... Jer ova ce namjera jedino završiti sa njihovom propašcu. Božanska se volja ne može nikada iskljuciti. Cak gdje je ljudska volja na djelu i ostvaruje stvari koje su protivne Božanskoj volji, to je jedino sa Božjim dopuštenjem da to ljudsko djelo uspije kako bi se na taj nacin donijela pomoc duši u duhovnoj nevolji, s obzirom da se nikada ništa ne bi moglo dogoditi što bi bilo potpuno protiv Njegove volje. Jer Njegova mudrost, ljubav i svemoc odlucuju sve što se dogada.... A ova mudrost, ljubav i svemoc jedino žele što je najbolje za svako od Njegovih stvorenih bica.... I prema tome je nemoguce za ijedno bice da se suprotstavi ovoj volji. Jedino je oblikovanje njegove duše ostavljeno bicu da se njime samo pozabavi [[(ili ‘rukovodi’; ili ‘nadgleda’)]].... Ovo ni najmanje nije prisiljeno od strane Stvoritelja, i tako bice može koristiti svoju slobodnu volju u skladu sa njegovim vlastitim nahodenjem.

AMEN
