DVA RAZLIČITA SVIJETA....

Dva su različita svijeta duhovno carstvo i zemaljski svijet, i u njih se ne može istovremeno stupiti, pošto su oni potpuno suprotni, tako da se čovjek dakle mora odlučiti za jedan od ta dva svijeta. Zemaljski svijet je doduše prirodno obitavalište čovjeka pa je zato čovjeku i presudno kao njegovo carstvo, koje treba poštovati. No zadatak čovjeka sastoji se u tome da se duša oslobodi od svih utjecaja ovog svijeta, da prepozna privid njega i da teži stvarnome, da se uzdigne u ono carstvo koje će nakon kratkog vremena biti njeno obitavalište, koje je njena istinska domovina i koje joj nudi ono što joj zemaljski svijet nikada ne bi mogao ponuditi.... neograničenu blaženost i vječni život....

Čovjek na Zemlji treba zadobiti spoznaju toga da se on samo privremeno nastanio na jednom svijetu koji je prolazan, jednom svijetu na kojem je takoreći sve samo privid, gdje sve treba biti nadvladano, kako bi se mogao uzdići u duhovno carstvo, koje ostaje, jednom kad je zemaljski svijet prošao. Spoznaja toga vrši utjecaj na volju i postupke čovjeka te za rezultat može imati to da čovjek boravi u duhovnom carstvu, iako još živi na Zemlji. No tada se je on voljno i misaono njega već odrekao, jer on prezire zemaljski svijet, time što teži duhovnom svijetu, pošto težiti jednom i drugom istovremeno nije moguće.

To su dva različita područja.... I njihovi gospodari su potpuno suprotni, jer zemaljski svijet doduše jeste nastao putem Božje volje, no sve tvorevine s obzirom na njihovu duhovnu kvalitetu još pripadaju protivniku Boga, a to duhovno, koje je svezano u tvorevinama, treba biti oslobođeno iz njegove vlasti. E sada sam čovjek treba sprovesti konačno oslobođenje, tako što se slobodnom voljom odriješi od svega što pripada Zemlji, time što svoje želje, svoju žudnju, okrene od stvari zemaljskog svijeta i upravi ih duhovnom carstvu, tako što svjesno stremi ka Božjem Kraljevstvu.

No to stremljenje uvjetovano je ranijom spoznajom bezvrijednosti svega zemaljskoga, ono za preduvjet ima vjeru u Boga, Koji je savršen i u Svojoj Ljubavi Svojim stvorenjima želi prirediti blaženu sudbinu, te je ono uvjetovano i Ljubavlju čovjeka prema Bogu, inače se ne bi stremilo Bogu i Njegovom Kraljevstvu.... Preduvijet je jedan stupanj spoznaje.... A on ljudima treba biti omogućen putem dostavljanja Božanske Riječi, jer prvo čovjek mora biti upućen na njegov zadatak zemaljskog života prije negoli se on ikako može odlučiti.

Čovjek je doduše usred zemaljskog svijeta, pa opet, treba stremiti prema duhovnom carstvu. U svakom slučaju Bog mu pomaže osloboditi se od zemaljskog svijeta, no tko je priljubljen uza Zemlju i njena blaga, taj nikada neće tražiti put uvis, on se nikada ni neće htjeti niti pak moći odvojiti, jer on se još da (za)držati od gospodara svijeta, on svoj pogled ne upravlja uvis, i on stoga ostaje okovan, i pored toga što se osjeća slobodno dok boravi na Zemlji.

No putem u duhovno Kraljevstvo on mora krenuti jednom kad mu se zemaljski svijet zatvori prilikom njegove tjelesne smrti.... A onda ne nalazi ništa što bi mu pružilo zamjenu za to što je izgubio; Kraljevstvo svjetla ne prima ga, jer on za njega nije podoban, Zemlja ga sve više vuče nazad, a ni tamo više ne nalazi prijem.... U duhovnom je carstvu, no u neizrecivim patnjama i tami, pošto zemaljski život nije iskoristio stremeći ka svjetlu i životu....

AMEN

Two different worlds....

There are two worlds, the spiritual kingdom and the earthly world, and they cannot both be entered at the same time because they are completely opposite and therefore the human being must decide for one of these two worlds. The earthly world is indeed the natural abode of the human being and therefore also appears to the human being as his kingdom to which he has to pay tribute. But the human being's task consists of the soul freeing itself from all impressions of this earthly world, of recognizing its appearance and striving towards the true, of rising into the kingdom which will be its abode after a short time, which is its true home and which offers it what the earthly world can never offer it.... unlimited bliss and eternal life.... The human being should gain this realization on earth that he only temporarily inhabits a world which is transient, a world where everything on it is, as it were, only a pretence, where everything is to be overcome in order to be able to rise freely into the spiritual kingdom which will remain when the earthly world passes away. The recognition of this influences the human being's will and actions and can result in the human being dwelling in the spiritual kingdom even though he still lives on earth. But then he has mentally and willingly renounced the earthly world, for he despises the earthly world as much as he strives for the spiritual world, because it is not possible to strive for both at the same time. They are two different kingdoms.... And their lords are also completely opposite, for the earthly world certainly arose through God's will, yet all creations still belong to God's adversary according to their spiritual nature, and this spiritual substance, which is bound in the works of creation, shall be liberated from its control. The final liberation shall be accomplished by the human being himself by voluntarily detaching himself from everything belonging to earth, by turning his desire away from the things of the earthly world and turning it towards the spiritual kingdom, thus consciously striving towards the kingdom of God. However, this striving first requires the recognition of the worthlessness of all earthly things, it requires faith in a God Who is perfect and in His love wants to prepare a blissful fate for His living creations, and thus it also requires the human being's love for God, otherwise God and His kingdom would not be striven for.... It presupposes a degree of knowledge.... And this shall be made possible for people through the transmission of the divine word, for the human being must first be informed of his task in earthly life before he can make any kind of decision. The human being certainly stands in the midst of the earthly world and yet he should strive towards the spiritual kingdom. God helps him in every way to become free from the earthly world, yet anyone who clings to earth and its goods will never seek the path upwards, he will also never want to and be able to separate himself, for he still allows himself to be held by the lord of the world, he does not direct his gaze upwards and therefore remains bound, even though he feels free as long as he stays on earth. But once he has to take the path into the spiritual kingdom as soon as the earthly world closes itself to him at the time of his physical death.... But then he will find nothing to replace what he has given up; the kingdom of light will not accept him, for he is not suitable for it, he will always be drawn back to earth, and even there he will no longer be accepted.... he is in the spiritual kingdom but in unspeakable torment and darkness because he did not use earthly life to strive for light and life....

Amen
