The secret of eternal love....

To fathom the mystery of eternal love is beyond human ability, and thus it will never be possible for a person to imagine God as love Itself, for God is an entity for the believing human being but love is a feeling.... Entity and perception, however, are two concepts that can certainly belong together, where one can mean the complement of the other, but which are difficult to think of as the same.... God is only conceivable as love insofar as the highest, most perfect being must also be in the highest degree of love, consequently God and love cannot be separated from each other. And this explanation is also the only one that can be given to people, but it does not reveal the secret of eternal love. For any thought beyond this is wrong because human thoughts are unable to fathom this miracle. And it must be enough for man to imagine divine love as something incomprehensible which can only be grasped with the same, i.e. that only the loving man penetrates into a mystery and he then only ever applies his own degree of love as a yardstick, since a 'more' is simply not comprehensible to him. Only when he has succeeded in transforming his own being into love will it be easier for him to imagine God as love Itself, but as a human being he will never fathom it completely. He is certainly able to imagine God as an entity, even if this entity is not conceivable in human terms either, yet the human being always imagines an entity as something physical (a form), even if it is not visible to the eye as such. Love, however, cannot take on a form in his imagination, and as soon as it were given a form, it would have to be addressed as something essential again. And therefore the attempt to introduce the human being to this mystery is completely pointless, it would only lead to erroneous trains of thought which could prevent the human being from recognizing the eternal truth. The human being, in his limitedness, will certainly be able to fathom everything that is related to earthly life, but to understand the spiritual requires (even) an activity of love. Then its essence also forms itself into love and when the soul separates itself from the body only the essence remains, which is now also love in itself, therefore is then also not to be seen as two different things, but could only become what it is through love.... thus again essence and love are the same thing.

(23.12.1940) However, the one Who is love in Himself only becomes conceivable as an entity because the possibility of comprehension for the human being only lies in the essence.... Although he also feels love, even if in the smallest measure, he cannot imagine the eternal deity as something that is only expressed in the life of feeling. For he would only regard this as belonging to the entity, but not as the entity itself. Love is a power, and God is power, therefore God and love must be the same. And again God must be recognized as an entity, otherwise the basic concept for the existence of the eternal deity would be missing. Only when the being has approached the eternal deity is it possible to merge the two concepts into each other, and then the being will completely realize what it cannot yet comprehend. On earth, however, it lacks this ability as it can only absorb what can be united with earthly laws, otherwise it will remain misunderstood....

Amen

SKRIVNOST VEČNE LJUBEZNI....

Dojeti skrivnost večne Ljubezni presega človeško sposobnost. In tako nekemu človeku ne bo nikoli mogoče, da si zamisli Boga kot Sámo Ljubezen, ker je za človeka, ki veruje, Bog Bitje (Entiteta, Bistvo), Ljubezen pa je občutek.... Bitje in Ljubezen sta torej dva pojma, katera resda lahko pripadata eden drugemu, kjer eden lahko dopolnjuje drugega, katera pa si je težko zamišljati, da sta eno in isto.... Bog kot Ljubezen je razumljiv in zamisljiv edino kot najbolj vzvišeno, najpopolnejše Bitje, Katero pa mora biti ravno tako na najvišji stopnji Ljubezni, zato sta torej Bog in Ljubezen nerazdružljiva.

Ta razlaga pa je tudi edina, ki je lahko dana ljudem, katera pa torej ne razodeva večne skrivnosti Ljubezni, ker je vsaka nadaljnja zamisel napačna in ker človekove misli niso sposobne dojeti tega čudeža. Vendar pa mora biti človeku dovolj to, da si Ljubezen prestavlja kot nekaj nedojemljivega, kar pa se lahko razume samo z enakim; se pravi, da samo človek, ki ljubi, prodira v skrivnost (BD 2289), in on lahko potem vedno uporabi edinole lastno stopnjo Ljubezni kot merilo, ker mu »večja« ni jasno dojemljiva.

Šele tedaj, ko mu uspe svoje lastno bitje spremeniti v Ljubezen, mu bo lažje predstavljati si Boga kot Sámo Ljubezen; namreč on, kot človek temu ne bo nikoli prišel do konca. Vendar pa si on Boga vseeno lahko predstavlja kot Bitje (Entiteto, Bistvo); in četudi to Bitje glede na človeške pojme ni zamisljivo, pa si človek Bitje vedno zamišlja kot nekaj telesnega, celo če to kot takšno ni očesu vidno. Namreč Ljubezen glede na njegove zamisli ne more imeti oblike, toda čim bi ji bila dana oblika, bi bila ona vendarle obravnavana kot nekaj elementarnega (substancionalnega, kot bistvo).

In zato je poizkus, da se človeka uvede v to skrivnost, popolnoma brez pomena; to bi namreč vodilo samo do napačnih tokov misli, katere pa bi lahko preprečile človeku, da prepozna večno Resnico. Človek bi v svoji omejenosti sicer lahko dojel vse, kar se tiče zemeljskega življenja, vendar pa duhovno razumevanje le tega zahteva Ljubezen-sko dejavnost. Potem pa svoje bitje ravno tako oblikuje v Ljubezen; in ko se duša loči od telesa, ostaja sàmo bistvo, katero pa je sedaj ravno tako Ljubezen. Zato tega ni potrebno ločevati, ampak je preko Ljubezni šele lahko postalo to, kar je.... tako da sta Bitje in Ljubezen eno in isto.

(23. december 1940) Tisti (Bog), Kateri je v Sebi Samemu Ljubezen, bo lahko predstavljiv edinole kot Bitje, ker za človeka obstaja možnost dojemanja šele v substancialnem (nanašajoč se na substanco, snov, obliko).... On resda ravno tako občuti Ljubezen, sicer v najmanjši meri, vendar pa si on še ne more predstavljati večnega Božanstva kot nekaj, kar šele v življenju občutkov prihaja do izraza. On bi namreč to smatral le kot naravno Bitje, ne pa kot Bitje Sámo. Ljubezen je moč in Bog je moč, zato morata biti Bog in Ljubezen eno in isto. Pa vendarle mora biti Bog prepoznan kot Bitje, ker bi drugače lahko prišlo do pomanjkanja temeljnega pojma glede obstoja večnega Božanstva. Šele takrat, ko se je bitje približalo večnemu Božanstvu, je mogoče oba pojma združiti v enega. Potem pa bo bitju popolnoma jasno to, kar sedaj še ne more dojeti. Vendar pa mu na Zemlji primanjkuje sposobnosti, ker lahko sprejme samo tisto, kar je možno uskladiti z zemeljskimi zakoni, ker drugače ostaja nedojemljivo.
