Belief in life after death.... influence through love of fellow human beings....

Man's greatest error is to consider himself transient, for this view determines him to a completely wrong way of life. It must be taken into consideration that earthly life is only a means to an end, whereas people who think so wrongly regard earthly life as an end. They try to gain everything from earthly life that it offers but fail to recognize its actual purpose. Anyone who believes that his earthly life ends with bodily death will understandably not endeavour to reshape his nature, for he considers this to be useless and pointless. And thus the actual task of man remains unfulfilled. However, teaching such an unbelieving person to believe in life after death is a difficult task and can only be successful if he can be persuaded to reflect and can then be mentally influenced by beings of light. But a person's love often brings marvellous successes to light, indeed, love is the only means to change wrong thinking. If a person departs from this world who was active in devoted love for an unbelieving person, his thoughts will follow him beyond the grave.... He seeks to maintain the connection with him by trying to imagine the departed person alive.... he now has the will to affirm his continued existence, even if he cannot yet do so inwardly, but then the mental transmissions are much easier to convey to him; at first he plays with them, but slowly he absorbs them and in the end is no longer able to separate himself from them, because he longs for reunion with the deceased loved one. It is not uncommon for unbelieving people on earth to be cared for in love in this way, for the beings of light often bring together people who are very close to each other in love in order to decisively influence their faith through them. If a person is capable of love, i.e., if he can show deep love for a fellow human being, then his state of soul is not hopeless either, his thinking can be directed into completely different directions through this love, for as long as the human being lives on earth he has countless possibilities to achieve realization. The first and most important thing, however, is the belief that the soul lives on after death. Thoughts of an afterlife must determine his entire way of life, and this requires deep faith, which a person can gain through the loving support of a fellow human being if it is not possible otherwise. The beings in the beyond will support all efforts, for they will struggle with patience and love to guide the erring human being into realization....

Amen

VJERA U NASTAVAK ŽIVOTA.... UTJECAJ KROZ LJUBAV BLIŽNJEGA....

Najveća zabluda čovjeka je sebe držati propadljivim (prolaznim), budući da ga ovo gledište određuje na potpuno pogrešan način života. Mora biti uzeto u obzir da je zemaljski život tek sredstvo do cilja, dok ljudi koji tako pogrešno misle, vide zemaljski život kao cilj. Oni nastoje iz zemaljskog života izvući sve što on nudi, ali propuštaju njegovu istinsku svrhu. Tko svoj zemaljski život smatra okončanim fizičkom smrću on se, razumljivo, neće založiti za preobrazbu svojega bića, budući on to drži nesvrhovitim i besmislenim. I tako stvarni čovjekov zadatak ostaje neispunjen. No, takvog čovjeka nevjernika dovesti do vjere u nastavak života poslije smrti, težak je zadatak, i može biti od uspjeha jedino onda, ako se njega uspije potaknuti na promišljanje, a onda on može biti misaono pod utjecajem svjetlosnih bića. Ali, tamo Ljubav jednog čovjeka često donosi čudesne rezultate, zaista, Ljubav je jedino sredstvo da se promijeni obmanuto razmišljanje. Rastavi li se od ovoga svijeta jedan čovjek, koji je u predanoj Ljubavi bio aktivan prema jednom nevjerniku, onda ga misli ovoga slijede preko groba.... On nastoji i dalje održati povezanost s njime, nastojeći sebi živo predočiti preminulog.... on onda ima volju da potvrdi nastavak života, iako on to još ne može iznutra, no onda se njemu mnogo lakše mogu posredovati misaoni prijenosi; on se isprva poigrava s njima, no polako ih prihvaća, i naposljetku se više nije u stanju odvojiti od njih, jer on čezne za sjedinjenjem s ljubljenim pokojnikom. Nerijetko će upravo takvi nevjernici na Zemlji biti u Ljubavi njegovani (o njima će se skrbiti u Ljubavi), budući svjetlosna bića često dovode zajedno takve osobe, koje su uzajamno jako bliske u Ljubavi, kako bi kroz ove odlučujuće djelovali na njihovu vjeru. Ako je jedan čovjek sposoban Ljubiti, odnosno, ako on jednom bližnjemu može pružiti duboku Ljubav, onda ni njegovo duševno stanje nije beznadno, kroz ovu Ljubav njegovo razmišljanje može biti preusmjereno na sasvim drugačije staze, jer dok god čovjek živi na Zemlji, on ima bezbrojne mogućnosti da stigne do spoznaje. No, prvo i najvažnije je vjera u nastavak života duše poslije smrti. Misli na zagrobni život moraju odrediti cijeli njegov način života, a to pretpostavlja duboku vjeru, koju čovjek može steći kroz Ljubavnu podršku jednog bližnjega, ako to nije drugačije moguće. Onostrana bića će poduprijeti sve napore, jer se ona sa strpljenjem i Ljubavlju bore za to da obmanutog čovjeka uvedu u spoznaju.

AMEN
