ZEMALJSKI ISPITI VOLJE.... STALNA BORBA....

Mnogi zemaljski ispiti volje će vam biti nametnuti, odnosno, vaša volja se često mora odlučiti u zemaljskim stvarima (poslovima), i vi se onda također pitate, da li je vaša odluka bila ispravna. Ali, za vas se najčešće radi jedino o zemaljskom uspjehu.... Za vas se manje radi o tome, da li ste se vi odazvali volji vašeg nebeskog Oca, Koji vas nije bez razloga stavio pred tu odluku; budući On želi ispitati vašu sklonost prema materiji, On vas želi potaknuti da kod svake odluke također promislite o tome, da vi naspram svoje duše ispravno i pravedno mislite i postupite. Jer, nije Božja volja da vi mislite jedino na vašu zemaljsku korist, nego također da se pobrinete i za bližnjega. Uglavnom se teži vlastitoj koristi, na štetu bližnjega, a to je ono na što bi svaki čovjek trebao misliti, kada je postavljen pred zemaljske odluke. Nadalje, nije svejedno da li se ovim odlukama bavi samo razum čovjeka, ili da li će se uvijek sjetiti Onoga Koji jedini može ispravno savjetovati.... Jer, čim se Bogu odlazi za vodstvo i savjet, također će i razmišljanje i odluka čovjeka biti ispravni, sve će se dogoditi kao samo od sebe, i svaka prepreka će nestati.... budući Bog želi da bude tražen za savjet i pomoć i u zemaljskim pitanjima i stvarima, a Njegova se pomoć uvijek sastoji u tome da se samo od sebe sve dogodi, kako je dobro.... Zemaljsko postojanje je borba, a to će i ostati, no, ako je vođena s Bogom, onda će borba također imati dobar ishod, moći će završiti pobjednički, i također će dovesti do duhovnog cilja. Borba se pretežno sastoji u nadvladavanju zemaljskog svijeta, premda čovjek stoji usred svijeta.... On mora ispuniti svoje dužnosti, on ne može izbjeći svaki zahtjev koji mu je postavljen od strane svijeta.... Ali, on može sebe samoga, odnosno, svoje unutarnje biće, svoje mišljenje, osjećanje i htijenje, ipak povući od zemaljskog utjecaja, on može sebe samoga tako oblikovati, da njega više ne ispunja žudnja za svijetom, nego mu je duhovno kraljevstvo vrijedno težnje (poželjno).... A on može usred svijeta ispunjati dužnosti i zahtjeve koji su mu postavljeni, jer je on već izborio pobjedu nad materijom. A, onda ga mogu zapasti i zemaljska dobra, koja on, kao njihov upravitelj, samo nadgleda i na ispravan način upotrebljava u služenju bližnjima.... No, do koje mjere srce čovjeka još sudjeluje u zemaljskim dobrima i uspjesima, to mora čovjek sam sebi odgovoriti. A, ovo je dakle, također presudno za pojedinu odluku u zemaljskom životu.... Nekome ozbiljne volje, uvijek će biti dodijeljeno Božansko vodstvo i pomoć; no, gdje je vlastita volja još uvijek previše jaka, Božja volja ne može biti razabrana, i Bog se također suzdržava, sve dok Mu se čovjek u potpunosti ne podloži. A tada će otpori i prepreke jedno drugo smjenjivati, čovjek neće imati jasan dar razlučivanja (prosudbe), vlastito će još snažno istupati naprijed.... odnosno, svijet još nije u potpunosti izgubio svoju privlačnost (draž), te također odgovarajuće utječe na čovjeka. A ovo je borba, koju vi uvijek iznova morate voditi, u kojoj vi ne smijete podleći, iz koje vi ipak jednom trebate izići kao pobjednici, a to također i možete, ako vi samo ne zaboravite Jednoga, Koji vas je pustio ići ovom zemaljskom stazom, tako da tu postignete savršenstvo, tako da Ga prepoznate kao najpoželjniji cilj, te ovome sada jedino i stremite.

AMEN

Earthly tests of will.... constant struggle....

Many earthly tests of will are imposed on you, i.e. your will often has to decide in earthly matters and then you also ask yourselves whether your decision was right. But you are mostly only concerned about earthly success.... You are less concerned about whether you have complied with the will of your father in heaven, Who did not put you before that decision for nothing; for He wants to test your inclination towards matter, He wants to induce you to also remember with every decision that you think and act rightly and justly towards your soul. For it is not God's will that you only think of your earthly advantage but also take care of your neighbour's.... People usually strive for their own advantage at the expense of their fellow human beings, and this is what every person should think about when faced with earthly decisions. Furthermore, it is not irrelevant whether only the human being's intellect deals with these decisions or whether the one Who alone can advise correctly is always remembered.... For as soon as God is approached for guidance and advice the human being's thinking and decision will also be right, everything will, as it were, arise of its own accord and every obstacle will be removed.... for God also wants to be approached for advice and help in earthly questions and matters, and His help always consists of everything arising of its own accord as it is good.... Earthly existence is a battle and will remain so, yet if it is conducted with God then the battle will also end well, it will be able to end victoriously and also lead to the spiritual aim. The struggle, however, mainly consists of overcoming the earthly world, even though the human being stands in the midst of the world.... He must fulfil his duties, he cannot evade every demand placed on him by the world.... But he can nevertheless withdraw himself, i.e. his inner being, his thinking, feeling and wanting, from the influence of the earthly world, he can shape himself in such a way that the desire for the world no longer fills him but the spiritual kingdom is worth striving for.... And in the midst of the world he can do justice to the duties and demands placed upon him because he has already achieved victory over matter. And then earthly goods can also fall to him, which he only sees himself as the administrator of and utilizes them in the right way in the service of his neighbour.... But to what extent the human heart is still involved in earthly goods and earthly successes is something the human being has to answer for himself. And this is therefore also decisive for the respective decision in earthly life.... A sincerely willing person will always receive divine guidance and help; but where the person's own will is still too strong God's will cannot be heard, and God also holds Himself back as long as the person does not fully submit himself to Him. And then resistances and obstacles will replace each other, the human being will not have a clear gift of decision, his own will still strongly emerge.... i.e., the world has not yet completely lost its appeal and has a corresponding effect on the human being. And this is the battle which you have to fight again and again, in which you must not succumb, from which you should nevertheless emerge victorious one day and can do so if only you don't forget the one Who let you walk this earthly path so that you will reach perfection in it, so that you will recognize Him as the most desirable aim and now also pursue this alone....

Amen
