Whatever the human being strives for he shall receive, for his will alone determines his fate in eternity. If you strive for the kingdom of God you will also acquire it and become joint ruler of all worlds.... yet if you strive for the world, for fulfilment of all earthly wishes and longings, then the world, that is, worldly commodities, will not leave you even though you will have entered the beyond, for your wishes also create your soul's environment. The possession of these goods, however, will not make you happy, for soon you will realise that they are unreal, thus your cravings can no longer be satisfied yet you continue to crave, and this longing will torment you, consequently, you already ought to endeavour on earth to let go of such cravings, you ought to desire spiritual possessions if you want to be blessed one day.
Whatever you strive for will be your share.... And thus every human being creates his own fate and should therefore be conscious of his great responsibility, for he is facing eternities ahead of him, eternities which he can either spend in beatitude or experience in wretchedness. For eternities can pass by until he has overcome earthly matter, in view of the fact that the temptations in the spiritual realm are far worse since he offers them little resistance, whereas he can easily detach himself on earth if he seriously wants to do so.
A soul which has risen above matter and enters the kingdom of the beyond in a free state is indescribably happy, since the pleasures awaiting it are far more magnificent than people on earth can possibly imagine. This soul, too, will desire, yet it will find constant fulfilment, for it desires spiritual possessions, it is God's emanation of love which beatifies it without end, for which it constantly yearns and which it will constantly receive. And this emanation of love spiritualises its whole being, it will bring itself ever more into line with the eternal love and will constantly feel attracted by it, it will incessantly desire the presence of God in order to be united with Him for all eternity and thus to be indescribably blessed. People on earth demand earthly joys, physical pleasures and only ever strive for material possessions.... And all that will come to an end with the death of the body.... They will be unable to take anything along into the spiritual kingdom if they have failed to gather spiritual possessions which, however, can only be gained by neglecting earthly wishes. If they are still able to detach themselves from the world before their physical death, if they still recognise its worthlessness before and ponder thoughts of the hereafter they can be considered blessed, for then their path of ascent in the spiritual kingdom will no longer be closed to them, even though inexpressibly difficult to climb, but then they will no longer strive for earthly possessions and no longer have to fear the awful temptations which weaken the soul and render it incapable of resistance. Then they will soon find support from the beings of light which will help them by handing out spiritual possessions, if only within certain limits, until the soul makes its own effort to increase them, until it has recognised its task in the spiritual kingdom and strives to comply with it. What it wants it will receive.... Only its will is decisive, and in order for the will to make the right decision God constantly instructs people of His will, yet they won't listen to Him, they will continue to desire the world and thereby seriously endanger their souls.
Therefore God has mercy on them, and He clearly shows to them the value of earthly matter by allowing people to lose it, by time after time taking away what they own and what is dear to their heart without realising that they harbour the wrong kind of love within them.... He takes away what they don't want to give voluntarily, in order to show them on earth already that it can be overcome, in order to help them become free from their longing for it, to content themselves with less and to turn their love to spiritual possessions which are incomparably more valuable and everlasting.
Every earthly loss affecting the human being is God's help; it is a gentle admonition to turn away from it and an indication of the fleeting nature of worldly things.... And anyone looking around with open eyes will be able to recognise God's activity everywhere, Who wants to help people become spiritually minded, so that they will still learn to despise matter before the death of their body and only strive for spiritual wealth.... so that they will create for themselves a blissful fate in the afterlife.... so that they will become blessed because it is their will....
Amen
TranslatorZa čime čovjek teži tako će mu i biti, pošto jedino njegova volja određuje njegovu sudbinu u vječnosti. Težite li za Kraljevstvom Božjim i osvojit ćete ga i biti ćete suvladari svih svjetova..... No težite li za svijetom, za ispunjenjem zemaljskih želja i požuda, onda vas svijet, t.j. zemaljsko blago neće napustiti čak i kad prijeđete u onostrano, pošto vaše želje stvaraju i okolinu u kojoj boravi vaša duša.
Jedino što nećete biti sretni u posjedu tih dobara, jer ćete njihovu nestvarnost vrlo brzo prepoznati, dakle nećete više nalaziti ispunjenje vaših požuda, no i pored toga ćete i dalje čeznuti, a ta čežnja će vas mučiti i stoga morate težiti tome da se već na Zemlji riješite tih žudnji, morate čeznuti za duhovnim blagom želite li postati blaženi. Čemu stremite to će vas i dopasti..... Tako si dakle svaki čovjek sâm stvara svoju sudbinu, i stoga treba biti svjestan velike odgovornosti jer radi se o vječnostima koje su pred njim, vječnosti koje može provesti u blaženosti ili pak mora proživjeti u zlosreći.
Jer, mogu proći vječnosti dok ne prevaziđe zemaljsku materiju pošto su u duhovnom području kušnje još uvelike intenzivnije jer im pruža malo otpora, dok se međutim na Zemlji vrlo lako može od njih osloboditi samo ako to za najozbiljnije želi. Duša koja je prevazišla i ušla u onostrano područje slobodna, neizrecivo je sretna jer ju očekuju daleko spektakularniji užici koje si vi ljudi na Zemlji ne možete ni zamisliti. A i ta duša će žudjeti, međutim nalazit’ će neprestano ispunjenje jer to što ona žudi duhovno je blago, Ljubavno zračenje Boga koje ju čini beskrajno blaženo sretnom, što je njena neprestana čežnja i uvijek biva zadovoljenja.
I to Ljubavno zračenje Boga produhovljava njezino čitavo biće, sve više se usklađuje sa Vječnom Ljubavi i od Nje se neprestano osjeća privučeno, neprestano žudi blizinu Boga da bi s Njim do u svu vječnost ostala spojena kako bi dakle bila neizrecivo blažena. Ljudi na Zemlji traže zemaljske užitke, tjelesna zadovoljstva i teže uvijek samo za materijalnim posjedom..... no sve to završava smrću tijela..... Ništa se ne može prenijeti u duhovno područje ako se ne prikupe duhovna dobra koja je međutim jedino moguće zadobiti pri zanemarivanju zemaljskih želja.
I ako se (duše) još prije tjelesne smrti mogu rastati od svijeta, ako su još prije spoznale njegovu bezvrijednost i zanimaju se mislima o onostranom, mogu biti smatrane sretnima, jer tad im u duhovnom području put prema gore nije više zatvoren, i pored tog što je se njime neizrecivo teško popeti, no tada one više ne streme zemaljskom blagu i ne moraju se bojati intenzivnih kušnji prilikom kojih duša postaje slaba i nesposobna za otpor.
Onda će one vrlo brzo naći podršku od strane svjetlosnih bića koja im pomažu dostavljajući im duhovno blago, pa iako u okviru određenih granica, sve dok se duša sama ne potrudi oko umnažanja, sve dok nije spoznala svoj zadatak u duhovnom kraljevstvu koji se onda trudi ispuniti. Čemu teži tako će joj i biti..... Sâma volja je presudna, a da bi se volja ispravno odlučila ljudi su od strane Boga neprestano podučavani o Njegovoj Volji no međutim oni nisu poslušni, i dalje čeznu za svijetom i dovode svoje duše u veliku opasnost.
Stoga je Bog njima milostiv i jasno im pokazuje koju vrijednost ima zemaljska materija time što dopušta da ju ljudi gube, time što im uvijek nanovo uzima ono što posjeduju i za što kače srce bez da su svjesni da u njima drijema pogrešna ljubav..... On im uzima ono od čega ne žele dobrovoljno odustati kako bi im već na Zemlji pokazao da ju je moguće prevazići, kako bi im pomogao da se oslobode od čežnje za tim, da se zadovolje sa malo i da svoju ljubav usmjere duhovnim dobrima koja su daleko vrjednija i neprolazna.
Svaki zemaljski gubitak koji čovjeka pogađa je pomoćna djelatnost Boga, blago upozorenje da se od toga odustane i znak je prolaznosti sveg zemaljskoga..... A tko oko sebe gleda otvorenih očiju može u svemu u-vidjeti djelovanje Boga Koji ljudima želi pomoći da svoje razmišljanje i nastojanje usmjere duhovno kako bi još prije tjelesne smrti naučili prezirati materiju i težili samo duhovnom blagu..... da bi si u onostranom stvorili sudbinu koja znači blaženstvo..... da bi postali blaženi jer je to njihova volja.....
AMEN
