Intellectual research....

Believers and unbelievers....

The more devotedly a person entrusts himself to God's care the easier his earthly life will be, for it is the will of the Father in Heaven that He should always be remembered. Only in this way can you receive the strength from Him, which He sends without restriction to anyone who desires it.... The human being often searches where a single request for clarification could provide him with information and yet, despite being informed of an instruction from above, he will not avail himself of it because he does not believe. And consequently he will walk in error, for he cannot find the right realisation without faith. The result of the believer will always differ from that of the unbeliever; they are two different basic attitudes which also produce different results. The same success can never be expected if the will to investigate is active, that is, if he only wants to solve some spiritual problems purely intellectually. A distinction must be made between a person who rejects faith and a person who is still searching and weak in faith, who is willing to believe if the scholar seems acceptable to him. This person asks.... but the other claims.... He intellectually compiles a doctrine for himself and is completely convinced of its truth, yet he has not utilised the slightest divine strength for it, thus the result cannot be divine truth either, for the person who does not pray to God is by no means entirely without the influence of spiritual strength, instead he is guided by the opposing force and always by God's opposing activity. Consequently, this opposing force will not allow the human being's thoughts to be in truth either but will do everything in its power to confuse them. Nor is it usually the desire for truth that motivates his research, but the prospect of earthly success drives him to use his intellect. He therefore does not seek any connection with knowledgeable forces, neither consciously nor unconsciously, but he gathers the results of other researchers purely intellectually and puts together a new picture. He does not seek wisdom from the Eternal Wisdom itself but adopts the thought processes of other equally erring people, and the final result must inevitably also be error....

Amen

RAZUMSKO ISTRAŽIVANJE.... VJERNICI I NEVJERNICI....

Što se više čovjek prepusti Božjoj skrbi, to lakši će biti njegov zemaljski život, jer volja je Oca na nebu da se na Njega uvijek misli. Jedino tako iz Njega neprestano možete crpsti Snagu, koju On neograničeno dostavlja onome koji ju žudi.... Čovjek često istražuje tamo gdje bi mu već putem jedne jedine zamolbe moglo biti pruženo razjašnjenje, te i pored upute za poduku odozgor, on je često ne koristi, jer ne vjeruje. I posljedično tome živjet će u zabludi, jer pravu spoznaju ne može pronaći bez vjere. Rezultat čovjeka u vjeri uvijek će se razlikovati od onoga nevjernika; radi se o dva različita temeljna stava, koji dovode do različitih rezultata. Nikako se ne može očekivati isti rezultat, čak i ako je istraživačka volja živo aktivna, tj. ako se čisto razumski žele riješiti neki duhovni problemi.

Mora biti napravljena razlika između čovjeka koji odbija vjeru i onoga koji još traži ili je još slabe vjere, koji je spreman vjerovati ako mu se ono što ga se nauči čini prihvatljivim. Taj čovjek pita.... a drugi tvrdi.... taj sâm sebi razumski postavlja nauku i u istinitost nje potpuno je uvjeren, no za to nije koristio ni trunku Božanske Snage, tako da ni rezultat ne može biti Božanska Istina, jer čovjek koji ne moli Boga nikako nije bez utjecaja duhovnih sila, nego njime upravljaju protu-sile, i to uvijek ka Bogu nasuprotnom djelovanju.

Tako da te protusile ne dopuštaju da se čovjekovo razmišljanje nalazi u Istini, nego će one učiniti sve kako bi razmišljanje zbunile. Potraga za Istinom najčešće ni nije pokretač istraživanja takvoga čovjeka, nego ga izgledi za zemaljski uspjeh potječu na to da koristi svoj razum. On ni na koji način ne traži vezu sa silama znanja, niti svjesno niti nesvjesno, nego čisto razumski skuplja rezultate drugih istraživača i od toga sastavlja novu sliku. On mudrost ne traži kod Sâme Mudrosti, nego prisvaja načine razmišljanja drugih ljudi, koji su isto tako u zabludi, i krajnji rezultat neminovno isto tako mora biti neistina....

AMEN
