The inscrutable nature of God will remain a problem for you humans as long as you live on earth, and even in the spiritual kingdom you will not be able to solve this problem completely because God's nature is unfathomable. For every being as an individual being is a limited concept, whereas God's essence can certainly not be denied but He encompasses everything and also fills every individual being, both in the state of perfection as well as in the state of inadequacy, but where the being nevertheless exists, thus is enlivened by God's strength, otherwise it would have to perish. To be able to imagine the being of God would be so overwhelming for the being that it would no longer dare to call upon Him and long for union with God. The being would not be able to bear the infinite greatness of His being, it would not enjoy its freedom because it would be afraid of the infinity of His being, which it now felt too weak to love and would therefore only pass away in awe. But God wants to be loved, and that is why He hides Himself in all His fullness.... What came forth from Him are sparks of His infinite fire of love, and these sparks are of the same essence as He Himself and therefore also capable of love. And God desires their love, and therefore He confronts them as the same being in Jesus Christ.... in order to be loved by them with all the intimacy He desires....
Jesus, too, was a human being, an individual being in all independence; His soul, too, was a spark of light from God which did not want to distance itself from the eternal fire of love and yet took on a mission on earth out of love.... In this man Jesus the spark of love had flared up to a degree rarely seen in a human being on earth, and this degree of love was constantly increased more and more because the desire for the eternal love was so great that it could not resist and gave itself to Him, that God's strength of love flowed into the man Jesus, filled Him and thus He now became completely permeated.... The essential deity, which fills the whole universe but only as an emanated flow of strength, found a vessel which returned love to it and was therefore able to receive ever more strength of love.
And the man Jesus became divine, for He received God in all fullness into Himself.... the essential deity formed Himself into a visible God in Jesus, He manifested Himself.... In Jesus people were given an imaginable God Whom they should and can love if they are willing to love. In Jesus they also first became aware of an essential divinity which they could never imagine as an all-fulfilling power. A being created by Him only became the bearer of the eternal deity by nourishing the spark of love within Himself, by letting it flare up into a bright flame and unite with the fire of eternal love. The divine fire of love filled the human being Jesus but it did not consume Him because He Himself had become love and was therefore also able to bear God's strength of love to an unimaginable extent....
(13.3.1953) As such, the human being is bound to a form.... everything that is conceivable to him is shaped, and thus the eternal deity has also taken on a form for people in order to be able to be conceivable to them, although God fills the whole of infinity because everything that is is the emanation of God's strength. It is also the human being himself in his original substance of God-emanated love power, which He formed according to His will in order to create a gathering station for Himself, as it were, to receive His inexorably flowing love power. But the human being himself must shape himself into such a receptacle in order to be intimately connected with God as an outsider. The man Jesus did it. He prepared Himself into a vessel which then continuously received the divine strength of love and was consequently also completely united with God, Who was therefore now in Him in His fundamental substance. Love is God.... and you humans cannot yet grasp that love can be something of essence, nor will you ever be able to fully grasp it. Only by shaping yourselves into love can you learn to understand the essence of love and its strength, and then the problem of the deification of the human being Jesus will also be solvable for you. But it requires an extremely high degree of maturity to be able to grasp that God is strength and yet works as an entity and uses His will in wisdom. And he will also forever be unable to penetrate the deepest depth of the deity and yet, in his inadequacy, always be able to turn to Jesus Christ, Who has now become a concept to him as God and to Whom all people must therefore strive in order to reach God....
Amen
TranslatorVam ljudem bo nedojemljivo Božje Bistvo ostalo problem (nerazrešeno vprašanje), vse dokler živite na Zemlji, kakor tudi v duhovnem kraljestvu ne boste mogli popolnoma rešiti tega problema, ker je Božje Bitje nedojemljivo. Namreč vsako bitje je kot enota omejeni pojem, medtem ko se Bogu tega, da je Bitje, ne more zanikati; On vendarle zajema vse, kakor tudi obenem izpolnjuje vsako posamezno bitje tako v stanju popolnosti, kakor tudi v stanju nepopolnosti, v katerem pa bitje še vedno obstaja, kar pomeni, da je oživljeno z Božjo močjo, ker bi drugače moralo izginiti. Predstavljati si Božje Bistvo bi bilo za bitje zastrašujoče, da si Ga ono ne bi več drznilo klicati in hrepeneti po združitvi z Bogom. Bitje namreč ne bi moglo prenesti (izdržati) neskončne veličine Njegovega Bitja; ono se ne bi veselilo v svoji svobodi, ker bi bilo prestrašeno pred neskončnostjo Njegovega Bitja, zaradi česar bi se ono sedaj počutilo prešibko, da bi ljubilo in bi zato iz strahospoštovanja sámo izginilo. Vendar pa Bog želi biti ljubljen in zato On Sebe zakriva v Svoji polnosti.... To, kar izhaja iz Njega, so iskre Njegovega neskončnega ognja Ljubezni, in te iskre so del enakega bistva, kot je On Sam in so zato ravno tako sposobne ljubiti. Bog namreč hrepeni po njihovi Ljubezni in se zato pred njimi pojavlja kot enako Bitje v Jezusu Kristusu.... da bo od njih ljubljen v vsej iskrenosti (globini, pristnosti), po kateri On hrepeni....
Jezus je bil ravno tako človek, svoje bitje s svojo identiteto; Njegova duša je bila ravno tako iskra iz Boga, katera pa se ni želela ločiti od večnega ognja Ljubezni (od večnega Boga Očeta), vendar pa je vseeno iz Ljubezni prevzela poslanstvo na Zemlji.... V tem človeku Jezusu se je iskra Ljubezni razplamtela do stopnje, ki je za nekega človeka na Zemlji nenavadna. Ta stopnja Ljubezni pa se je stalno vse bolj povečevala, ker je bilo hrepenenje po večni Ljubezni tako veliko, da se ji On ni mogel upreti in je zato Sebe podaril Njemu, tako da je moč Božje Ljubezni tekla preko človeka Jezusa in Ga izpolnjevala, da je bil On sedaj popolnoma osvetljen (prosvetljen). Sámo po Sebi obstoječe (bistvo.... Ta, Ki je) Božanstvo, Ki izpolnjuje celotno vesolje, toda kot le izsevan tok moči, je našlo posodo, katera Mu je vračala Ljubezen in je zato lahko prejela vedno več moči Ljubezni.
Človek Jezus je postal Božanski, ker je On v Sebe sprejel Boga v vsej polnosti (Kološanom 1:19, 2:9).... samo po Sebi obstoječe (bistvo.... Ta, Ki je) Božanstvo je Samega Sebe v Jezusu oblikovalo v vidnega Boga; Ono je manifestiralo Sebe.... Ljudem je v Jezusu dan zamisljivi Bog, Katerega morajo ljubiti in kar tudi lahko naredijo, če so voljni ljubiti. V Jezusu jim je šele postalo razumljivo samo po Sebi obstoječe (bistvo.... Ta, Ki je) Božanstvo, Katerega si oni sami sebi niso mogli nikoli predstavljati kot vse-prežemajočo moč. Neko od Njega ustvarjeno bitje je postalo nosilec večnega Božanstva ravno preko tega, ko je Ono v Sebi negovalo Ljubezensko iskro, katera pa se je razplamtela v bleščeč plamen in se združila (zedinila) z ognjem večne Ljubezni. Božanski Ljubezenski ogenj je izpolnil človeka Jezusa, vendar pa Ga ni požrl/pogoltnil, ker je On Sam postal Ljubezen in je na ta način lahko ravno tako v nezamisljivih obsegih prestal (izdržal) Božjo Ljubezensko moč.... (13. Marec 1953).
Človek kot tak je vezan na neko formo.... vse, kar si on lahko zamisli, ima obliko, zaradi česar je tudi Bog za (zaradi) ljudi vzel obliko, da si Ga lahko zamišljajo, četudi Bog izpolnjuje celotno neskončnost, ker je vse, kar obstaja, sevanje Božje moči. In sam človek je v izvorni substanci od Boga-izhajajoča-Ljubezenska-moč, katero je On oblikoval glede na Svojo voljo, da bi Sebi ustvaril, lahko rečemo zbirno postajo (posodo) za sprejemanje Njegove Ljubezenske moči, ki nezadržno teče. Vendar pa mora takšno posodo za sprejemanje narediti/oblikovati človek sam, da bo (obstajal) kot tisti, ki je kot samostojen, pa vendarle v najintimnejši združitvi z Bogom.
Človek Jezus je naredil to. On je Samega Sebe pripravil kot posodo, katera pa je potem neprekinjeno prejemala Božansko Ljubezensko moč. Zaradi tega je bil tudi do popolnosti združen (zedinjen) z Bogom, Kateri je bil sedaj v Njemu v Svoji izvorni substanci. Ljubezen je Bog (1 Janez 4:8, 16).... da pa je Ljubezen lahko nekaj, kar lahko obstaja samo po Sebi (bistvo.... Ta, Ki je), tega vi ljudje še ne morete dojeti, kakor tega tudi ne boste mogli nikoli popolnoma dojeti. Edino takrat, ko se oblikujete v Ljubezen, se boste lahko naučili razumeti Bitje Ljubezni in njegovo moč, kakor bo obenem tudi razrešen problem deifikacije človeka Jezusa. Vendar pa je potrebna izjemno visoka stopnja zrelosti, da bi bilo mogoče dojeti, da je Bog moč, da pa vseeno deluje kot Bitje in v modrosti uporablja Svojo voljo. In on za vekomaj ne bo mogel prodreti v najglobljo globino Božanstva, vendar pa se v svoji nepopolnosti vedno lahko obrne na Jezusa Kristusa, Ki je sedaj zanj postal pojem za Boga in h Kateremu morajo zato vsi ljudje težiti, da bi prišli do Boga.
