Revelations of God.... understanding - condition....

What is hidden from the world is revealed by the spirit of God to those who have detached themselves from the world and desire to hear God's voice. And His revelation is truly of inestimable value, for it is profoundest wisdom which the spirit of God conveys to them, and this wisdom paves the soul's path to eternal life. And as soon as the spirit of God can become effective in the human being he is in constant contact with God, the highest spirit of heaven and earth, and consequently he must now also increase in knowledge and light, because God, as the eternal wisdom and the original light, constantly emanates wisdom and light. And His revelations are inexhaustible, and the human being can always draw from the source of wisdom and enrich his knowledge because God does not set him any limits. But if a fellow human being wants to understand these revelations, if they are conveyed to him by a person enlightened by God's spirit, he must first absolutely have the will to penetrate the pure truth and make himself worthy of it through a life of love. Only then will the imparted spiritual knowledge become comprehensible to him, otherwise it will either pass unimpressively by his ear or remain misunderstood or be completely misinterpreted. For God certainly gives His revelations to the recipient in an understandable way, yet this understanding is due to the working of the spirit in the human being, and where this cannot become effective the human being lacks understanding as soon as he does not fulfil the condition first. For this reason no person who is not called to do so should ever try to interpret divine revelations as long as he is not in contact with the spiritual kingdom and its messengers. These can certainly influence his thinking and try to guide it correctly, yet a certain training on the part of the spiritual beings is necessary in order to grasp spiritual truths, which requires the human being's will who then submits to the conditions imposed on him. For as soon as he is instructed by the divine spirit he will become light and bright, and every gift will supplement his knowledge and increase his spiritual wealth. For it is only purely spiritual truths, it is knowledge which is meaningless for the earthly world because it does not earn the human being any earthly, material goods, because it only concerns the spiritual kingdom and simply appears unacceptable to worldly people. Yet it makes everyone happy who strives spiritually, who despises the world and makes an effort to live a life of love.... For he knows the value of spiritual goods and may never ever give them away for the highest goods of the world....

But it is an unspoken rejection when a spiritual gift is accepted apathetically, when the intellect does not become active, thus the human being does not take a mental position on it and the gift does not touch the will at all and stimulate it to activity. But then he will never have knowledge in the spiritual field either, for he can never gain it through the world. And his own intellectual thinking is not enough to penetrate the depths of divine wisdom. There is only one possibility.... through the working of the spirit in the human being.... to be guided into truth, into spiritual knowledge. If this possibility is not used then the human being will remain ignorant and lightless, even if he has great earthly knowledge at his disposal. But the spirit works from within, for even what is conveyed to the human being from outside has to be made comprehensible to him from within, so that truth can never be transferred to the human being in a scholastic way but the working of the spirit is also an essential part of this scholastic knowledge if it is to be recognized by the human being as truth. The right source of spiritual knowledge always remains the word of God, yet this also has to be explained by the spirit of God, otherwise it can be misunderstood and thus also passed on incorrectly. But if an explanation meets with any resistance on the part of the pupil, then the meaning will also remain dark to him, for he will close himself off to the ray of light which wants to shine through him. Thus every erroneous teaching that has taken root in a person is caused by his own will insofar as he has thoughtlessly accepted a teaching imparted to him from outside and now holds on to it as truth. In this way he makes himself incapable of the working of the spirit, because he does not pay attention to its voice, since he believes himself to be standing in the truth.... But the human being must always listen to the inner voice if he wants to be taught by the spirit of God. But then knowledge will be made accessible to him which will fully compensate him for the effort of listening inwardly.... For the truth from God is a most delicious commodity which can now never be taken away from him but which constantly increases the more the human being gives of it and the easier it is for him to detach himself from what was previously offered to him as truth.... For God demands unconditional acceptance of His teachings, and any resistance reduces the possibility of penetrating divine truth....

Amen

OTKROVENJA BOGA.... RAZUMIJEVANJE - UVJET....

Što je skriveno svijetu to Duh Božji otkriva onima koji su se odvojili od svijeta i žude čuti glas Božji. A Njegovo otkrovenje uistinu je od neprocjenjive vrijednosti, jer radi se o najdubljoj Mudrosti koju im Duh Božji predaje, a ta Mudrost duši poravnava put u vječni život. I kad Duh Božji može postajati aktivan u čovjeku, on se nalazi u neprestanoj vezi s Bogom, najuzvišenijim Duhom Neba i Zemlje, i rezultat toga je onda izvjestan rast u znanju i svjetlu, pošto Bog kao Vječna Mudrost i Pra-Svjetlo neprestano zrači Mudrost i Svjetlo. I Njegova otkrovenja su neiscrpna, i čovjek uvijek može crpsti iz Izvora Mudrosti i svoje znanje obogaćivati jer mu Bog ne postavlja ograničenja.

No ako čovjek želi razumjeti otkrovenja, ako su mu ona dostavljena putem jedne od Duha Božjeg prosvijetljene osobe, on kao prvo obavezno mora imati volju za to da prodre u Čistu Istinu, i učiniti se dostojnim toga kroz hod u Ljubavi. Tek tada će mu (pre-)dano duhovno dobro postati razumljivo, inače to ili prolazi pored njegovog uha bez da ostavi ikakav utisak, ili pak ostaje neshvaćeno ili potpuno krivo protumačeno. Jer, Bog Svoja otkrovenja primatelju daje na jedan razumljiv način, no to razumijevanje ovisi o djelovanju Duha u čovjeku, i gdje On ne može biti aktivan, čovjeku nedostaje razumijevanje ako prije toga nije ispunio ovaj uvjet.

Stoga čovjek koji na to nije pozvan nikada ne bi trebao pokušavati tumačiti Božanska otkrovenja, sve dok i sam nije u vezi sa Duhovnim Kraljevstvom i njegovim glasnicima. Oni dakako mogu utjecati na njegovo razmišljanje i truditi se ispravno ga voditi, no potrebno je izvjesno školovanje od strane duhovnih bića za to da bi se mogle shvatiti duhovne istine, za što je potrebna volja čovjeka koji se tada podređuje njemu postavljenim uvjetima. Jer kad je on onda kroz Božanski Duh podučen, u njemu postaje svijetlo i prozračno, i svaki (dodatni) dar nadopunjava njegovo znanje i umnaža njegovo duhovno bogatstvo.

Jer to su samo čisto duhovne istine, to je znanje koje je za zemaljski svijet beznačajno, jer ono čovjeku ne donosi zemaljska, materijalna dobra pošto se tiče samo duhovnog područja, i svjetovnom se čovjeku jednostavno čini neprihvatljivo. No čini radosnim svakoga tko ima duhovna nastojanja, tko manje cijeni svijet (svjetovni život) i tko se zalaže za Ljubavni život.... jer taj zna cijeniti vrijednost duhovnih dobara, i nikada više on ih ne bi dao ni za najviša blaga svijeta....

No nečuveni je odbitak (od gl. odbijati) kad je duhovni dar primljen ravnodušno, kad ne sudjeluje razum, dakle ako čovjek misaono ne zauzme stav s obzirom na to, i dar ni na koji način ne dodirne volju niti ju pokrene na aktivnost. A tad on nikada niti neće doći u posjed znanja na duhovnom području, jer putem svijeta on to nikako ne može zadobiti. A vlastito razumsko razmišljanje nije dovoljno za to da bi se prodrlo u dubine Božanske mudrosti. Postoji samo jedna mogućnost za ulazak u Istinu, u Duhovno znanje, a to je.... kroz djelovanje Duha u čovjeku. Ako se ta prilika ne iskoristi, čovjek ostaje neuk i bez svjetla, čak ako i raspolaže velikim zemaljskim znanjem.

A Duh djeluje iznutra, jer čak i ono što je čovjeku iz vana bilo dostavljeno, mora iznutra biti učinjeno razumljivim, tako da dakle Istina na čovjeka nikada ne može biti prenešena školski, nego tom školskom znanju obavezno pripada i djelovanje Duha da bi to od čovjeka i bilo shvaćeno kao Istina. Pravi izvor Duhovnog znanja uvijek ostaje Riječ Božja, no i ona mora biti objašnjena putem Duha Božjeg, inače može biti krivo shvaćena i onda i krivo proslijeđena.

No ako neko objašnjenje od strane učenika nailazi na bilo kakav otpor, tad njemu i smisao ostaje u mraku, jer on se zatvara pred svjetlosnom zrakom koja ga želi prožeti. Dakle svako krivo učenje koje se usidrilo u nekom čovjeku ima kao uzrok njegovu vlastitu volju, time što je neko učenje dano mu iz vana, bez razmišljanja prihvatio i onda ga zadržao kao Istinu. Time se on dakle sam čini nesposobnim za djelovanje Duha, budući da ne obraća pažnju na njegov glas, pošto zamišlja da se nalazi u Istini....

A čovjek neprestano mora slušati unutarnji glas želi li biti podučen Božjim Duhom. Tada će mu biti omogućeno znanje koje mu je potpuna odšteta za trud osluškivanja na unutra.... Jer Istina iz Boga je tako dragocjeno blago, koje mu onda više nikad ne može biti oduzeto, i koje se neprestano umnaža, što više čovjek toga daje i što se lakše može odriješiti od toga što mu je ranije bilo ponuđeno kao Istina.... Jer Bog zahtjeva bezuvjetno prihvaćanje Njegovog učenja, i sav otpor umanjuje mogućnost za prodiranje u Božansku Istinu....
