Transcending Matter....

No human being can spiritualize his soul, i.e. help it to unite with the spiritual spark within himself which still has turned its heart towards matter, for it will not pay attention to the voice of the spirit within itself, its thinking, wanting and acting will only ever be worldly oriented and it will leave its soul in want while it will do everything to the body which it demands. The soul and the spirit will only come to an agreement when the human being overcomes selfish love, when he eliminates earthly desires and pays attention to what the spirit demands, which tries to draw the soul to the father, which tries to determine it to establish the connection with Me so that I Myself can now also influence the soul through the spirit. Thus it must always be kept in mind that there are two kingdoms which try to captivate the human being but which completely differ from each other in their nature.... The earthly kingdom only offers material goods, the spiritual kingdom, however, such goods which are imperishable.... But the latter cannot be perceived as well as earthly goods, and therefore the human being seeks to rather come into possession of that which is visible and tangible. Spiritual goods, however, are not so openly perceptible and therefore only few people strive for them. But the spiritualization of the soul is the aim and purpose of earthly life, because the soul then changes its abode and passes over into the spiritual kingdom when the hour of its departure from this earth has come; then the body and with it everything it had striven for on earth will perish.... but the soul will remain, and if it has already been able to achieve spiritualization on earth then it will enter the spiritual kingdom in a radiant garment of light and will be blissfully happy.... But if the body has enjoyed priority in earthly life, then the soul is pitiful, for it cannot pass away, but according to its state of maturity its further life is then in the spiritual kingdom. And this often also means a spiritual standstill, which can be followed by a decline into the abyss. For then it has covered its earthly life in vain, it has not achieved spiritual progress because it has attached too much value to matter instead of overcoming it. The human being has to pass through the material world, he has to try to become master but he must not become a servant or slave to matter, for then he will not progress in his development, then the soul will not attain the maturity which will help it to unite with its spirit within itself.... The human being has to overcome selfish love, then he will be master of matter, then he can divest himself of it, and then he will also do so joyfully, and then he will have recognized his purpose of earthly life and also fulfilled it. Then he will willingly let himself be guided by his spirit, and thus I Myself will be able to influence him and he will have to ascend irrevocably, because My working in him will then truly be spiritually successful.... because the spirit in him will then push towards the eternal father-spirit and the unification can take place, which precisely requires a spiritualized soul which has completely detached itself from matter, which only strives for the spiritual kingdom and has taken the path back into its father's house. And the human being should only ever ask himself to what extent his love still applies to himself.... For only when he has overcome himself will his love for Me have reached the degree that the union can take place, which is now eternally indissoluble...._>Amen

NADVLADAVANJE MATERIJE....

Nema čovjeka koji može produhoviti svoju dušu. tj. učiniti da se ona sjedini s duhovnom iskrom u njoj, čije srce je još naklonjeno materiji, jer on na glas duha u sebi neće obraćati pažnju, njegovo razmišljanje, nastojanja i postupci uvijek će biti samo svjetovno usmjereni i on će biti zaslužan za to što njegova duša gladuje, dok će tijelu davati sve što ono traži. Duša i duh sjediniti će se tek onda kad čovjek nadvlada samoljublje, kad isključi zemaljske žudnje i obrati pažnju na ono što traži duh koji se trudi dušu privući k Ocu, koji se trudi utjecati na nju da ona uspostavi vezu sa Mnom, kako bih i Ja Osobno onda putem Duha mogao vršiti utjecaj na dušu.

Mora se dakle uvijek imati na umu to da su dva kraljevstva koja se čovjeka trude privući, no ona su po svojoj prirodi potpuno različita.... Zemaljsko kraljevstvo nudi samo materijalna blaga, a duhovno kraljevstvo blaga koja su neprolazna.... No ova potonja ne mogu se tako dobro zamijetiti kao zemaljska blaga, pa se čovjek stoga radije trudi da dođe u posjed onoga što je vidljivo i opipljivo. Ali duhovna blaga nisu tako očita, i zato samo rijetki ljudi njima teže.

No cilj i svrha zemaljskog života je produhovljavanje duše, jer duša onda mijenja svoje boravište i prelazi u duhovno kraljevstvo, jednom kad je došao trenutak odlaska sa ove Zemlje; tada tijelo propada a s njim i sve za čim je ono žudjelo na Zemlji.... a duša nastavlja postojati, i ako je već na Zemlji uspjela postići produhovljavanje, onda ona u sjajnoj svjetlosnoj odori ulazi u duhovno kraljevstvo i blažena je....

No ako je tijelo u zemaljskom životu uživalo prednost, tad je duša vrijedna žaljenja, jer ona ne može proći [[(prestati postojati)]], i u skladu s njenim stanjem zrelosti je onda i njen daljnji život u duhovnom kraljevstvu. A to često znači i jedan duhovni zastoj kojega može slijediti povratak u dubinu. Jer duša je tada svoj zemaljski život uzaludno prevalila, nije postigla nikakav duhovni napredak pošto je materiji pridavala previše vrijednosti, umjesto da ju nadvlada.

Čovjek mora proći kroz materijalni svijet, on mora pokušati postati gospodar a ne sluga ili rob materije, jer tad on u svom razvoju ne ide naprijed, tad duša neće postići zrelost koja joj omogućuje da se sjedini s duhom u njoj.... Čovjek mora nadvladati samoljublje, onda je on gospodar materije, onda se on nje može osloboditi, i onda će on to radosno i činiti, a onda je spoznao svrhu svog zemaljskog života i ispunio ju. Tada se on voljno da voditi od svog duha, i tada Ja Sâm mogu na njega djelovati, i on sasvim izvjesno mora rasti, pošto će Moje djelovanje u njemu uistinu imati duhovni uspjeh.... pošto duh u njemu tada hrli prema Duhu Ocu od vječnosti te je omogućeno sjedinjenje, za koje uvjet baš i jeste produhovljena duša, koja se potpuno odvezala od materije, koja samo teži duhovnom kraljevstvu i stupila je na put povratka u Očinsku Kuću.

I čovjek se uvijek treba pitati samo to koliko je njegova Ljubav usmjerena samo na njega samoga.... Tek tada, kad je on nadvladao samoga sebe, i njegova Ljubav prema Meni postigla je taj stupanj da je omogućeno sjedinjenje, koje je onda vječno neraskidivo....

AMEN
