People's spiritual attitude is so different that often the slightest cause is enough to set them against each other, and this will always be the case if they cling too tightly to a teaching which is only a variation of the teaching proclaimed by Christ. As soon as this pure teaching of Christ is moulded into a form, people then see the form rather than the core, and they regard every deviation as undermining the christian teaching. But if only the core is respected, people will remain closely united because they now live according to the teaching of Christ.... But those who set their hearts on form cannot tolerate the slightest change and regard such changes with hostility. They also believe that they are working for the kingdom of God, but they are incapable of doing so because they only teach what they have been taught by people without being able to defend it with full conviction as they lack their own experience. Anyone who wants to pass on God's word to people must have received it from God himself, otherwise he will only speak empty words that do not penetrate the heart because they are not blessed by God with His power. The knowledge imparted by people can likewise become a living word if the connection with God is established and God Himself explains this word to the person, thus it is no longer received with the ear but with the heart. Such a person, however, will use his knowledge in order to instruct his fellow human being but will never want to separate himself from him if he thinks differently, that is, if he believes that he is in error. Living faith always brings people closer together, whereas dead faith leads to separation, because living faith lets the heart speak, whereas dead faith lets the mind speak. The heart affirms, the mind denies, where divine things are concerned.... For the heart is closer to the divine, but the mind remains more attached to the earth. The knowledge received in school very often does not agree with the divine wisdom offered from above, and there will always be conflicts between people as long as they want to examine purely intellectually. Intimate contact with God also gives people clarity of thought and what appeared to be a stumbling block is now transformed into nothing.... And so such conflicts can be resolved immediately if everyone turns to God Himself and asks for clarity. When two people argue, one of them must be in the wrong; they just don't realize it.... And if people are serious about the truth, they leave the clarification of disputes to God Himself, but not that they fight each other or become attached to outward appearances that are irrelevant. The pure truth is only little represented among men because it was not enough for them and was surrounded by the works of men. Once the work of man is touched, there is great indignation, and man tenaciously seeks to preserve the outward appearance and pays no attention to the inner core, which is presented to him in all purity and without human trappings. Rather, the gift of God leads to disputes among people, and parties are formed for and against the teaching that is to be imparted to humanity in all purity. However, only those people who pray fervently for enlightenment will recognize this.... For they alone are in the right mind and will accept or reject as it is divine will....

Amen
