Train of thought unawakened.... and organized thoughts....

The train of thought of a person whose spirit is still unawakened usually moves in districts which are of no spiritual value whatsoever. He will only be occupied by questions which are intended to be fathomed for the purpose of an improved earthly life of well-being, for only that which promises some kind of earthly advantage will ever be drawn into the circle of his mental activity, and things which concern spiritual experiences will never touch the thoughts of a person who is in the midst of earthly life. And thus these thoughts are exclusively the results of a bodily function, these thoughts are the evidence that thousands upon thousands of people can naturally use a gift given to them by the creator but that the results correspond to the person's free will.... that he can therefore use the gift purely physically and then also produce purely earthly results, whereas a person whose will calls for God works with spiritual support, that is, whose thinking ability is combined with spiritual strength and the results therefore understandably also have to be spiritual. The thoughts are now organized from the spiritual side, they no longer proceed arbitrarily but are completely adapted to the person's desire as to which area he desires to gain insight into. It will be possible to unhesitatingly accept the thoughts that arise in a person when he deals with spiritual questions. Consciously striving for and demanding spiritual strength is the surest guarantee for thoughts that are now rightly guided, for truth and deepest knowledge. And conversely, it can be assumed with complete conviction that all thoughts in a worldly direction originate from the human being himself and are therefore also passed on as human error. Again, it takes a divine spirit to be able to separate truth from lies. Every worldly thought is like an obstacle in order to reach the truth, and therefore the divine spirit must be at work if a clear separation of good and evil, of truth and lie, is to take place. And on the other hand, the divine spirit assures the earthly child of right thinking and it need not anxiously ask itself to what extent its thoughts are right....

Amen

TOK MISLI NEPROBUĐENIH.... I SREĐENE MISLI....

Tok misli čovjeka čiji duh je još neprobuđen, obično se još kreće u područjima koja su duhovno beznačajna. Zanimati će ga samo pitanja koja valja odgonetnuti u svrhu poboljšanja zemaljske ugodnosti, jer u opseg njegove misaone aktivnosti ulaziti će samo ono što obećava bilo kakvu zemaljsku pogodnost, a stvari koje se tiču duhovnih stvarnosti nikada neće doticati razmišljanje čovjeka koji se nalazi usred zemaljskog života.

I takve su misli dakle isključivo rezultat tjelesne funkcije, te misli su dokaz toga da tisuće i tisuće ljudi prirodno mogu korisiti dar koji im je dan od strane Stvoritelja, ali da su rezultati u skladu sa slobodnom voljom čovjeka.... da on taj dar dakle može koristiti čisto tjelesno a tad i postiže baš čisto zemaljske rezultate, dok čovjek čija volja stremi k Bogu, radi uz duhovnu pomoć, to znači, njegova sposobnost razmišljanja se spaja sa duhovnom snagom i razumljivo je da rezultati moraju i biti duhovni.

Onda su misli uređene s duhovne strane, one više ne lete nasumce, nego su skroz usklađene sa žudnjom čovjeka glede toga u koje područje on želi baciti pogled. Bez opasnosti mogu biti prihvaćene one misli koje se bude u čovjeku kad se on zanima duhovnim pitanjima. Svjesna žudnja (za), i traženje duhovne snage, je onda najsigurniji jamac za ispravno usmjeravane misli, za Istinu i duboko znanje. I obrnuto, sa potpunim uvjerenjem može biti prihvaćeno (to) da sve misli u svjetovnom usmjerenju nastaju od samog čovjeka i da su dakle kao ljudska zabluda sprovođene dalje.

Opet je potreban Božanski Duh za to da bi se mogla razlučiti Istina od laži. Svaka svjetovna misao je kao prepreka za dolazak do Istine, i stoga obavezno mora biti na djelu Božji Duh da bi moglo doći do jasnog razdvajanja dobra od lošeg, Istine od laži. I s druge strane, Božanski Duh zemaljskom djetetu osigurava ispravno razmišljanje, i ne treba se plašljivo pitati koliko su njegove misli ispravne....

AMEN
