Self-love - neighbourly love....

A small measure of self-love is permitted to you because it is necessary for self-preservation and because without this measure you humans would not work on yourselves but would also be completely indifferent towards your spiritual destiny. But this measure of self-love should only be small because only then can love for Me and for the neighbour be properly kindled, or else: A proper love for the neighbour and thus also for Me will always push self-love back to the minimum measure. A being which has completely become love is now also completely absorbed in caring for the beings which are still unhappy, it will only ever want to help and make happy and no longer think of its own happiness but nevertheless be indescribably happy itself because it has become love. But as long as the human being stays on earth he also has to struggle with self-love, and yet he is allowed to have it to a small extent, otherwise I would not have spoken the words: "You shall love your neighbour as yourself...." Man has the right to take care of himself, but he must never forget his neighbour about it..... And if the measure of self-love is still great, then he must also show the same measure towards his neighbour, thus he must perform many works of neighbourly love, and thereby his soul will also attain maturity.... Therefore, greater demands can also be placed on life if suffering fellow human beings are also considered, thus a life of well-being, as it were, obliges the human being to increase his activity of love if he wants to comply with My commandment.... if he also wants to mature spiritually despite physical well-being. You shall love your neighbour as yourself.... Thus I Myself have by no means curtailed the pleasures of earthly life, for as long as you give the same to your fellow human being which seems desirable to you, you are justified before Me, but with increasing maturity of soul these desires in you will always decrease, yet love for your neighbour will increase. For this is the effect of a right love for your neighbour, that it then fills your whole heart and desires less and less for itself.... This is why I was able to apply this standard when I gave you the commandment of neighbourly love, because love then finds the right measure itself, but first a stimulus had to be given which also grants the human being himself what he owes his neighbour. Anyone who has already ignited the spark of love within himself no longer needs this stimulation, for now another urges him.... now I Myself can determine him from within to works of neighbourly love, for I, as the eternal love, am in every person who has kindled love within himself.... Hence it is always a matter of the human being deciding to work with love, that he first gives the same measure to his fellow human being which he also desires for himself, because at the beginning of embodiment self-love is still strong and a limit is now set for this self-love by My commandment of love, but the human being can determine this himself.... Therefore you can also justifiably make demands on life, but just as you also observe My commandment which places love for your fellow human being first and foremost on your heart. But this is why people mostly fail, for they don't observe the measure, their self-love is far stronger than their love for their neighbour, and thus they don't feel love for Me either, for My adversary controls them as long as My commandment leaves them unimpressed....

Amen

SAMOLJUBJE – LJUBEZEN DO BLIŽNJEGA....

Dovoljena vam je neka majhna mera samoljubja, ker je potrebna za vdrževanje samega sebe in ker vi ljudje brez te mere ne bi delali sami na sebi, temveč bi bili povsem ravnodušni glede vaše duhovne usode. Čeprav pa mora biti mera samoljubja samo majhna, ker se lahko edino tedaj razplamti Ljubezen do Mene in do bližnjega oz. pravilna Ljubezen do bližnjega in s tem do Mene bo samoljubje nenehno potiskala stran do najmanjše mere.

Bitje, ki se je popolnoma spremenilo v Ljubezen, je povsem okupirano s skrbjo za bitja, ki so še nesrečna; vedno bo želelo edinole pomagati ter osrečiti in ne bo več mislilo na lastno srečo, čeprav pa bo nepopisno srečno, ker je postalo Ljubezen. Vendar pa vse dokler človek živi na Zemlji, se mora ravno tako boriti s samoljubjem, čeprav pa ga ima lahko le v neki majhni meri, ker drugače ne bi izgovoril besed: »Moraš ljubiti svojega bližnjega kot samega sebe....«(Matej 22:39; Marko 12:31).

Človek ima pravico, da skrbi za samega sebe, vendar pa pri tem ne sme pozabiti na svojega bližnjega.... če je mera samoljubja pri tem še vedno velika, mora tudi bližnjemu dati enako mero, torej mora storiti še veliko del Ljubezni do bližnjega in njegova duša bo tako prišla do zrelosti.... Tako se torej lahko zahteva več od življenja, če se pri tem ne pozabi na bližnje, ki trpijo; dobro ter razkošno življenje človeka obenem tudi obvezuje na povečano Ljubezen-sko dejavnost, če on želi izpolniti Mojo zapoved.... če on poleg telesnega blagostanja želi tudi duševno dozoreti.

Ljubi svojega bližnjega kot samega sebe.... Jaz Sam vam s tem nikakor nisem odvzel radosti zemeljskega življenja, ker vse dokler vašemu bližnjemu dajete to isto, kar si vi želite, ste pred Menoj opravičeni. Vendar pa bodo z vse večjo zrelostjo duše ta hrepenenja v vas postajala vse manjša, Ljubezen do bližnjega pa vse večja. Posledica pravilne Ljubezni do bližnjega je namreč ta, da Ona tedaj izpolnjuje vaše celo srce in vse manj hrepeni (želi) zase....

Torej tako Sem Jaz lahko postavil merilo, ko Sem vam dal to zapoved Ljubezni do bližnjega, ker Ljubezen tedaj

sama najde pravilno mero. Vendar pa je najprej morala biti dana spodbuda, katera tudi samemu človeku dovoljuje to, kar je dolžan njegovemu bližnjemu. Tisti, ki je v sebi že prižgal Ljubezen-sko iskro, te spodbude ne potrebuje več, ker ima tedaj drugo vrsto spodbude.... Tedaj ga lahko Jaz Sam usmerjam na dela Ljubezni do bližnjega, ker Sem Jaz, kot večna Ljubezen, v vsakem človeku, ki je v sebi razplamtel (razvnel) Ljubezen....

Torej gre se vedno za to, da se človek odloča za Ljubezen-sko delovanje, da za začetek bližnjemu daje enako mero, katero on želi za samega sebe, ker je na začetku utelešenja ravno samoljubje tisto, ki je še močno; in tedaj je preko Moje zapovedi Ljubezni postavljena meja, katero pa torej lahko določi vsak človek.... Zato imate vi vso pravico, da življenju postavljate zahteve, če le spoštujete Mojo zapoved, katera vam kot prioriteto v srce vstavlja Ljubezen do bližnjega. Vendar pa ljudje po navadi padajo zaradi tega, ker se ne držijo te mere; njihovo samoljubje je precej večje od Ljubezni do bližnjega, tako da oni ne čutijo Ljubezni do Mene, ker Moj nasprotnik (Satan) vlada nad njimi, vse dokler jih Moja zapoved ne zanima....

AMEN
