U nezamislivo dugo vremena ljudska je duša prethodno prolazila svoj put kroz tisuće utjelovljenja svake vrste. Ovo vrijeme je donijelo određeno stanje zrelosti, koje se sada, u posljednjem stadiju kao čovjek, treba dovesti do još višeg savršenstva. Znanje o tome bi trebalo biti dovoljno za napregnuti krajnje snage kako bi se postiglo stanje savršenstva, ali upravo ovo znanje je potpuno odbačeno od većine ljudi. Nažalost, često postoji pogrešno mišljenje, da se duša ne mora najprije oblikovati u ono što ona jest, nego je svojstvena živom biću uvijek na isti način, te da se o duši može govoriti samo kod čovjeka, ako se uopće želi prihvatiti nešto opstojeće nakon smrti. Životinji se osporava bilo kakva duša ili duhovna supstanca.... i upravo to vodi do potpuno pogrešnih mišljenja, budući da nadasve prijeko potrebna nužnost svih živih bića, uopće nije priznata, osim čovjeku. Stoga je od najveće važnosti držati pred očima raznoliko, neopisivo često preoblikovanje vanjske čahure (omotača), kako bi tek onda postali svjesni cjelokupne odgovornosti kao čovjeka u zemaljskom životu. Ako bi svakom biću bilo namjeravano samo jedno jedinstveno utjelovljenje, onda bi uvjeti za ovo utjelovljenje trebali biti doista iznimno teški, ako bi oni morali dovesti do stanja zrelosti nužnog za vječno blaženstvo, jer je udaljenost takvog duhovnog bića od vječnog Božanstva prekomjerno velika, da bi ona u tako kratkom vremenu mogla biti bitno smanjena. Zato je Stvoritelj svim bićima naumio ovo stanje prisile, u kojem prema Božanskoj volji, svako stvorenje bez vlastite odgovornosti teži višem razvoju. Proživjeti ovu uvodnu i pripremnu fazu ljudske duše u svoj mnogolikosti je od tako ogromnog značaja, da tek otuda proizlazi cjelokupna odgovornost koju čovjek nosi naspram svoje duše, jer se ova duša borila na najnevjerojatniji način, i oduprla svim poteškoćama.... morala je tako ispuniti beskrajne zadatke i u svemu se podrediti Božjoj volji, prošla je put koji nije bio lagan.... koji je međutim bio jedini način da se duša oblikuje tako da može savladati posljednji veliki ispit snage u čovjeku, ako je volja da izdrži (odoli, savlada) u njoj snažna. Svako ljudsko biće je stoga kao takvo, jedan svijet u sebi.... ono je djelo Stvaranja koje, sve na Zemlji postojeće i ljudskom oku vidljivo, u najfinijem umanjenju sklanja u sebi.... ljudska duša je prošla kroz sva ova čuda Stvaranja, i sada u njenom posljednjem utjelovljenju mora izdržati golemu borbu, ne treba li bitka, koja je trajala tisućljećima do stadija čovjeka, biti uzaludna. Čovjek mora ostati potpuno svjestan ove odgovornosti i moliti Boga za snagu, da ispuni posljednji zadatak na Zemlji, i da tako donese duši iskupljenje od beskrajno duge muke.
AMEN
TranslatorThe human soul has travelled its path through thousands of embodiments of all kinds over an unimaginably long period of time. This time has brought about a certain maturity which should now lead to higher perfection in the last stage as a human being. The knowledge of this should be enough to apply the utmost strength to reach the state of perfection, but it is precisely this knowledge that is completely rejected by most people. Unfortunately, there is often the erroneous view that a soul does not first have to be formed into what it is, but is always inherent in the living being in the same way and that one can only speak of a soul in a human being if one wants to recognize something that continues to exist after death. The animal is denied any soul or spiritual substance.... and it is precisely this that leads to completely false views, in that the extremely compelling necessity of all living beings apart from humans is not recognized at all. It is therefore of the utmost importance to bear in mind the varied, indescribably frequent transformation of the outer shell in order to only then become aware of the full responsibility as a human being in earthly life. If every being was only meant to have a one-time embodiment, then the conditions of this embodiment would have to be so extraordinarily difficult if they were to lead to the state of maturity required for eternal bliss, for the distance of such a spiritual being from the eternal deity is too immeasurably great that it could be considerably reduced in such a short time. This is why the creator has intended all beings to reach this one mandatory state in which, according to divine will, every creature strives towards higher development without any responsibility of its own. To live through this preliminary stage of the human soul in all its diversity is of such immense importance that only from it arises the whole responsibility that man bears towards his soul, for this soul has struggled in the most incredible way and defied all resistance.... it has had to fulfil such infinite tasks and submit to God's will in everything, it has travelled a path which was not easy.... but which was the only way to form the soul in such a way that it can pass the last great test of strength in the human being when the will to endure becomes powerful in it. Every human being is therefore as such a world in itself.... it is a work of creation that contains everything that exists on earth and is visible to the human eye in the finest miniaturization.... the human soul has passed through all these wonders of creation and now, in its final embodiment, has to endure a tremendous struggle if the millennia-long struggle up to the stage of the human being is not to have been in vain. Man should remain fully aware of this responsibility and ask God for strength to fulfil the last task on earth and thus bring redemption to the soul from infinitely long-lasting hardship....
