DUHOVNI VOĐE....

Ljudima na Zemlji su dani duhovne vođe (vodiči), dijelom sami kao ljudi utjelovljeni među njima, dijelom duhovno utječući na njih; znači niti jedan čovjek nije potpuno prepušten sam sebi tokom njegovog zemaljskog života. Ti duhovni vođe neprestano su u akciji kad se čovjek nalazi u nevolji duše i tvrdokorno se opire njihovoj pomoći. Znači čovjek si mora htjeti dati pomoći, on mora osjećati svoju nevolju i truditi se izaći iz nje, on dakle to duhovno stanje mora doživljavati kao manjkavo i tražiti otklanjanje istoga, a tada su duhovni vodiči spremni i od strane Boga ovlašteni da mu pomognu.

Pomoć je tim ljudima pružena u obliku objašnjenja o svrsi zemaljskog života i o njihovom zemaljskom zadatku. Jer ljudima kao prvo mora biti dano znanje o tome, da bi onda mogli slijediti svoj zemaljski zadatak. Ljudi moraju biti povjereni duhovnom vodstvu, pošto oni u svom odsustvu spoznaje tumaraju potpuno slijepi i sami od sebe nikada ne bi pronašli pravi put. Stoga će im od strane Boga uvijek biti pridruženo vodstvo, no oni sami nisu svjesni toga koje kraljevstvo je njihova domovina. A ni ti duhovni vođe koji kao ljudi žive među njima neće kao takvi biti prepoznati, jer bi se inače vršio određeni pritisak na vjeru, koji bi bio prepreka za duhovni razvoj. Pa i pored toga, svaki učitelj na Zemlji mora biti Božji odaslanik, inače bi se u njegovo učenje moglo sumnjati.

Međutim i protusila se trudi zadobiti utjecaj na ljude, a taj utjecaj će uvijek proturječiti Čistoj Istini iz Boga. Stoga uvijek valja provjeravati od koga potiče to što se ljudi svojim bližnjima trude ponuditi kao Istinu. Ispravno duhovno vodstvo uvijek će biti prepoznatljivo po tome da razmišljanje ljudi nastoji skretati sa zemaljskog a želi ga navesti na duhovno kraljevstvo. Duhovno vodstvo nastoji misaonim putem utjecati na ljude, nastoji poticati na Ljubav-nu aktivnost, ljude odvraćati od materijalnih težnji, i ono u prvi plan stavlja Ljubav-no, mudro i svemoćno Božanstvo. Duhovno vodstvo slabo sudjeluje u zemaljskom životu, dok misli neprestano usmjerava na duhovno područje.

A kad čovjek stremi tom cilju, kad bližnje nastoji uvoditi u duhovno kraljevstvo, on je ljudima od Boga pridružen kao vođa i prikladan je za pomoć u duhovnoj nevolji. Jer on samo priprema teren, kako bi nevidljivi duhovni vodiči mogli posijati svoje sjeme i putem misaonog prijenosa ljude mogli uvesti u duhovno znanje, kako bi poticali na Ljubav-no djelovanje te time mogli vršiti svoju službu vođenja brinući se tako za duše koje su im povjerene.

No ako su ljudi svjetovno nastrojeni, duhovnim vođama ne poklanjaju pažnju.... Niti će oni moći podučiti svoje bližnje, niti na njih imaju utjecaja duhovne snage, jer glas svijeta nadglašava fine glasove iz duhovnog kraljevstva. I ako je čovjek još okovan materijom, nedostaje mu svako razumijevanje za duhovni dar .... Tad je teško zadobiti njihove duše, oni se otimaju skrbi njihovih duhovnih pazitelja, ne obraćaju pažnju na svoje misli i nisu Ljubav-no aktivni niti voljni za Ljubav.

S druge strane, oni poklanjaju pažnju onima kojima upravlja protivnik Boga kako bi ljude naveo na neistinu. Jer neistina je njima prihvatljiva pošto se slaže s njihovim željama i žudnjama, s njihovim svjetovnim osjetilima.... A njihovo znanje je neznanje, ono je lišeno bilo kakve Istine, ono je ljudski stvoreno i proizvod je ljudskog razmišljanja, koje ljude (za)vodi na stranputicu i muti im moć spoznaje.... Jedino iz duhovnog kraljevstva dolazi Istina, i jedino od Boga odaslani duhovni vođe nju donose. No njihovo djelovanje ovisi o volji samih ljudi....

AMEN

Spiritual guides....

People on earth are assisted by spiritual guides, partly embodied among them as people themselves, partly spiritually influencing them; thus no human being is completely left to himself during his earthly life. These spiritual guides are constantly in action as soon as the human being is in distress of the soul and does not stubbornly resist their help. I.e., the human being must want to be helped, he must feel his adversity and strive to come out of it, thus he must feel his spiritual state to be deficient and desire to improve it, then the spiritual guides will be willing and also entitled by God to assist him. People are given help in the form of enlightenment about the purpose of earthly life and their earthly task. For the knowledge of this must first be presented to people so that they can then fulfil their earthly task. People have to be entrusted to spiritual guidance because they are completely blind in their lack of knowledge and would never find the right path on their own. A guide will therefore always be with them from God, but they themselves will be unaware of which kingdom is their home. Even the spiritual guides living among them as human beings are not recognized as such because otherwise a certain compulsion of faith would be exerted which would be an obstacle to spiritual development. Nevertheless, every teacher on earth must be an emissary of God, otherwise his teaching could be doubted.... Yet God's opposing power also seeks to gain influence over people, and this influence will always contradict the pure truth from God. Therefore it is always important to check whose share that is which people try to present to their fellow human beings as truth. The right spiritual guidance can always be recognized by the fact that it tries to distract people's thoughts from earthly things and wants to turn them towards the spiritual kingdom. Spiritual guidance seeks to influence people mentally, it seeks to encourage loving activity, it seeks to dissuade people from material striving, and it places the loving, wise and omnipotent deity in the foreground. Spiritual guidance takes little interest in earthly life but constantly directs the thoughts towards the spiritual kingdom. And as soon as a person strives towards this aim, as soon as he tries to introduce his fellow human being into the spiritual kingdom, he is given to people by God as a guide and well suited to assist them in spiritual adversity. For he merely prepares the field so that the spiritual invisible guides can scatter their seed and through mental transmission introduce the human being to spiritual knowledge, so that they can stimulate him into loving activity and thus exercise their office as guides and look after the souls entrusted to their care. However, if people are of a worldly mind they will not listen to the spiritual guides.... neither fellow human beings will be able to instruct them nor will spiritual forces have any influence on them, for the voice of the world drowns out the subtle voices from the spiritual kingdom. And as long as the human being is still captivated by matter he lacks all understanding for spiritual gifts.... Then it is difficult to win their soul, they withdraw from the care of their spiritual guardians, they don't pay attention to their thoughts and are not loving and willing to love. On the other hand, they listen to those who allow themselves to be used by God as an instrument of the adversary in order to convey error to people. For error is acceptable to them because it is compatible with their desires and lusts, with their worldly senses.... Their knowledge, however, is ignorance, it lacks all truth, it is the work of men and human thoughts which mislead their fellow human beings and cloud their power of realization.... Truth only comes from the spiritual kingdom and only spiritual guides sent by God convey it. Their work, however, depends on the will of the people themselves....

Amen
