Bondage of the soul.... Intercession in love helps to redeem....

The soul of man is irresponsibly acted when it is kept in a certain bondage, i.e., when it is hindered in its higher development. And this is then the case when the will of man exclusively turns towards the earthly, when therefore this will is weakened by the adversary and therefore the soul is no longer able to express itself freely and unbound. But this unfreedom of the will is again its own fault; it is the result of self-conceit, which prevents man to turn to God in prayer for power, therefore, in short, a result of earth life without prayer. Because man has been allotted free will at the beginning of his earth assignment, which could cause him both to good as well as to evil. But he is also allowed to make use of prayer. He is free at any time to ask for help, and when he uses this prayer, also the power to resist becomes greater; therefore the will is truly free and not bound through the power of the adversary.

The man who is without prayer will always be able to muster less power of resistance; he therefore hands himself over to the power, which wants to harm him, and the result of it is that his soul gets into a completely unfree state, that it is held on to earth, that it always does and wants what it is told to do by bad power. It is in a bondage from which it can free itself with difficulty when it also now still does not use prayer because it has also lost the knowledge about the favour of prayer; it is completely without help and exposed to the influence of evil because it can no longer use its will in the right way. And such a wrongly directed will can only still be effectively counteracted through love; when a loving being on earth or also in the hereafter comes to the help of such a forced soul and therefore sends up prayer to God instead of it, the fetters of that soul will loosen; it will suddenly feel the power of resistance in it and willingly hand itself over to better powers, and this can cause a change of its thinking and wanting, which is expressed in a changed walk of life. Souls, which alone can no longer find their way back to God, must receive a supply of will power through intercession in love, if they are not to be lost without salvation, because they cannot be compelled to other thinking and wanting. And this intercession is a weapon, which effectively fights the adversary. Because it cancels his exclusive power over the soul. The soul feels the loosening of its fetters, and the will now also becomes active in it to completely escape from this power. It certainly feels weak, but desires help, which can now be offered to it, because the desire for help is an unconscious prayer, which also finds hearing, by the light beings wanting to help it now direct the thoughts so that man now also consciously makes use of prayer and so increases the power to resist, therefore can free himself out of the state of bondage. So the love of fellowman can contribute enormously much to the redemption of an erring soul when it takes the completely weakened will into account and for its part now lets the will become active to help that soul. The power of a prayer for the soul of man is immense and the only means to redeem it from the power of the adversary.... .

ROPSTVO DUŠE.... ZAUZIMANJE U LJUBAVI POMAŽE IZBAVLJENJU....

Neodgovorno se postupa prema duši čovjeka ako je ona držana u 'ropstvu', što znači ako je priječena u svojoj evoluciji. A to je slučaj ako se čovjekova volja posvećuje i okreće isključivo zemaljskim stvarima, kad je dakle ta volja od protivnika oslabljena čime duša više nije sposobna ispoljavati se slobodno i nezavisno. No ta ne-sloboda volje opet je njena vlastita zasluga, ona je posljedica vlastite oholosti, koja čovjeka spriječava da se u molitvi obrati Bogu za snagu, dakle ukratko, posljedica je zemaljskog života bez molitve. Jer čovjek je prilikom početka njegovog zemaljskog zadatka dobio slobodnu volju, koja ga je mogla potaći kako na dobro tako i na loše. A smije se služiti i molitvom. Neprestano mu stoji na raspolaganju da sebi izmoli pomoć, i ako takvu molitvu i koristi, snaga za otpor biti će jača; volja je uistinu slobodna i nije vezana silom protivnika.

Čovjek koji je bez molitve, sve će manje biti u stanju 'namaknuti’ sebi snagu za otpor, on se dakle prepušta sili koja ga želi upropastiti, i posljedica toga je da mu duša upada u jedno potpuno neslobodno stanje, da je čvsto vezana za Zemlju, da neprestano čini i želi ono što joj loša sila zapovijeda da čini. Ona je u ropstvu, iz kojeg se teško može osloboditi, a ako još ne koristi molitvu, pošto je izgubila znanje o milosti molitve, ona je potpuno prepuštena utjecaju zla, jer svoju volju više ne može koristiti na ispravan način. A jednoj tako krivo usmjerenoj volji jedino se još može djelotvorno pristupiti putem Ljubavi; ako (jedno) stvorenje koje ljubi, na Zemlji ili u onostranom priđe u pomoć takvoj jednoj 'prisiljenoj' duši i umjesto nje Bogu 'uzdigne' molitvu, okovi te duše će se olabaviti, ona će najednom u sebi osjetiti silu otpora i prepustit će se voljno boljim silama, a to može prouzročiti promjenu razmišljanja i volje, koja se onda očituje u promjeni načina života.

Duše, koje same više ne pronalaze nazad do Boga, moraju zauzimanjem u Ljubavi za-primiti snagu volje, kako ne bi bile izgubljene bez spasa, pošto na silu ne mogu biti pokrenute na drugačije razmišljanje i htijenje. I t(akv)o zauzimanje oružje je koje učinkovito suzbija protivnika. Jer ono neutralizira njegovu definitivnu vlast nad dušom. Duša osijeća labavljenje njenih okova, i onda i u njoj oživljava volja da toj sili skroz umakne.

Dakako da je se osjećala slaba, no žudi za pomoći, koja joj onda može biti i pružena, jer žudnja za pomoći vrsta je nesvjesne molitve, koja isto biva uslišena, tako što joj svjetlosna bića koja žele pomoći tada misli upravljaju na takav način da duša onda i svijesno koristi molitvu i time množi snagu za otpor, dakle može se osloboditi iz stanja ropstva. Tako Ljubav bližnjega može za spasenje zalutale duše doprinijeti 'ogromno mnogo', ako uzme u obzir potpuno oslabljenu volju i tad sa svoje strane uposli volju kako bi pomogla toj duši. Snaga molitve za dušu čovjeka ogromna je, i jedino je sredstvo za izbavljanje iz vlasti protivnika.

Amen
