Materialists.... concept of God.... own will....

What man rebels against most is the acknowledgement of a power that he does not see or somehow perceive. As a person still standing in matter himself, he is still material to such an extent that only that which he is able to see or whose existence can somehow be proven is a concept to him. However, he rejects everything else as implausible as long as matter holds him captive. Only at the moment when matter begins to lose its value for man has the concept of God become comprehensible to him; he now begins to believe in a being, a power, without being able to prove its existence. However, he will not come to full realization until he himself has made contact with the eternal deity, even if unconsciously. The mere consideration that the whole universe must be controlled by a higher being gives rise to frequent reflection, and the human being occupies himself in spirit with the supreme being and begins to recognize the controller of the universe in all works of creation.... From now on he is far more interested in everything that points to the divine creator than in matter, which only appears to be a hindrance to him and is therefore avoided, i.e. fought against, by him more than ever. It can now also be understood how little can be successfully spoken of spiritual things to a materialist, because everything that cannot be grasped or felt by him with his hands appears questionable and untrustworthy to him.... And all talk in this regard is in vain until matter no longer appeals to him or he is obviously made aware of the work of the eternal deity through painful events. The lack of spiritual knowledge is often not so disadvantageous for such a person, for he would outright deny it or regard it as the pipe dream of a fantasist, and therefore such a person should remain in his ignorance until he himself has a desire for it and expresses this through a thoughtful nature and willing detachment from everything worldly.... combined with a steadily growing desire for spiritual truths. Such a person can penetrate far deeper into the spiritual realm if such a transformation has taken place within him, however, this transformation must have taken place of his own free will, there must be no human influence whatsoever, for it is precisely such initial deniers of God who are extraordinarily mentally active, and if they deal with this problem of divinity in the first place, they will certainly get on the right path through the mental influence of the spiritual helpers, whereas human influence would only strengthen their will to reject and thus the goal would be more difficult to achieve. However, it is not disadvantageous to direct such people's thoughts towards areas which were previously foreign to them so that they are offered the opportunity to decide for themselves.... but free will should do the rest....

Amen

MATERIJALISTI.... POJAM BOGA.... VLASTITA VOLJA....

Ono protiv čega se čovjek najčešće buni je priznavanje Sile koju ne vidi niti bilo kako osjetno može primjetiti. Čovjek koji se i sam još nalazi u materiji je toliko materijalan da može pojmiti samo ono što može vidjeti ili ono čije se postojanje na neki način može dokazati. No sve drugo on odbacuje kao nevjerodostojno (tj. nevjerojatno) sve dok je zatočen u materiji. Tek u trenutku kad ona za čovjeka počne gubiti na vrijednosti, postaje mu razumljiv pojam Boga, pa on tad ipak počne vjerovati u jedno Biće, jednu Silu, bez da Njezino postojanje može dokazati. No do pune spoznaje neće doći sve dok i sam nije došao u dodir s vječnim Božanstvom, pa čak nesvjesno.

Već sama pomisao na to da cijeli svemir mora da je upravljan od strane višeg Bića, daje poticaj za češće razmišljanje, i čovjek se u duhu zaokuplja sa najvišim Bićem, i počinje u svim djelima stvaranja prepoznavati Upravljača svemira .... Od tad on ima daleko više zanimanja za sve što upućuje na Božanskog Stvoritelja nego za materiju, koja mu se sad čak čini smetnjom i stoga od njega više nego ikad biva potiskivana.

Lako je za razumjeti koliko se bezuspješno materijalisti može pričati o duhovnim stvarima, jer mu se čini upitno i nevjerodostojno (tj. nevjerojatno) sve što ne može rukama opipati niti ikako osjetiti .... I svi razgovori glede toga su uzaludni sve dok ga materija draži (tj. ima za njega čari) ili on putem mučnih događaja bude očito upućen na djelovanje vječnog Božanstva. Nedostatak duhovnih znanja često nije toliko štetan za takvog jednog čovjeka, jer on bi ih 'glatko' zanijekao ili ih smatrao maštarijama jednog zanesenjaka, i stoga takav jedan čovjek treba biti ostavljen u svom neznanju, sve dok sam ne osjeti želju za tim i to izrazi putem zamišljenosti i spremnosti da se oslobodi od svega svjetovnoga .... vezano uz rastuću potrebu za duhovnim istinama.

Takav jedan čovjek može daleko dublje prodrijeti u duhovno područje, jednom kad je došlo do transformacije u njegovoj unutrašnjosti, no ta transformacija mora se dogoditi iz slobodne volje, ne smije biti vršen utjecaj od ljudske strane, jer upravo takvi (ljudi), u početku bezbožnici, su neobično misaono živ(ahn)i, i u slučaju da se uopće pozabave sa problemom Božanstva, putem misaonog utjecaja duhovnih sila sigurno dolaze na pravi put, dok bi utjecaj od strane ljudi samo pojačao njihovu odbojnu volju i time se dakle samo otežalo postizanje cilja. No nije na odmet razmišljanje takvih ljudi navoditi na područja koja su im do tada bila strana, kako bi im bila pružena prilika da se sami odluče .... no slobodna volja čini sve ostalo.

AMEN
