Fight against selfish love....

Much is demanded of you if you are still completely dominated by selfish love, for then it means a struggle for you to overcome it and change it into unselfish neighbourly love. But you must remember that you only take care of your body as long as you satisfy your selfish love and that you do not collect any spiritual treasures which will one day make up your wealth in the kingdom of the beyond. You must remember that your stay on this earth is not eternal but that you have to fulfil a task: to change your nature into love; for you enter earth as a human being with only a small degree of pure, selfless love, which you should now increase if you don't first have to kindle love in yourselves.... But selfish love dominates you, and you should suppress it, which always means a fight against all desires which demand fulfilment for physical comfort. Your attention must be directed towards your fellow human being, and it must be the human being's endeavour to carry out works of love if he wants to change himself, i.e. his nature, into love. He must learn to renounce for the sake of his neighbour, he must be willing to make sacrifices for the sake of his neighbour, he must be urged from within to do good to his fellow human being, and his self-love will become ever smaller the stronger the human being's will. And that is why it is said that the “kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and only the one who needs violence seizes it for himself'." Whose selfish love is still very strong will have to use great violence to reduce it, the charms of the world will constantly be placed before him, for God's adversary will tempt him wherever he can, and it will be difficult to resist all those temptations, he will have to use violence.... but he will succeed as soon as his will strives to fulfil his earthly task: to change his nature. He will be supplied with strength because he wants to reach his aim.... And in order for him to strive towards this aim he will repeatedly be reminded of the commandments of love for God and his neighbour, and if he is of good will he will first only fulfil his duty, he will strive to fulfil God's commandments.... until he is then driven from within to work of love and the fight against selfish love becomes ever less, for he will become victorious over himself if he is of good will. Yet most people are dominated by selfish love, they only think of themselves, love has grown cold in them and therefore they cannot become overcomers, they will only ever seek earthly advantages and not think of their life after death.... And their fate will be a bitter one, for they will enter the kingdom of the beyond poor and miserable, where it will also be difficult for them to ascend, because even then they will not want to give up their selfish love, because even then they will only think of their own fate and the fate of other souls will not affect them. It is particularly difficult for these souls to relinquish their selfish love, and they will have to remain in adversity and torment for a long time before they change and turn their gaze to the souls in the same predicament. For this reason anyone who still gives up his selfish love before he has to surrender his earthly life is to be called blessed on earth.... For once the soul has become acquainted with true love it will also be able to detach itself more easily from what it would otherwise not want to give away for its own sake. And then the danger will no longer be so great when it enters the kingdom of the beyond; then it will also be able to feel love for its neighbour and ascend more easily, one day it will also attain beatitude, because the more it practices love itself the more its love will increase. And it will have much opportunity to do so, for God helps every soul so that it can detach itself from darkness and reach the light...._>Amen

BORBA PROTIV SAMOLJUBLJA....

Od vas će mnogo biti traženo, kada ste još potpuno savladani od ja-ljubavi (sebične ljubavi), jer za vas znači borbu, ovu nadvladati i promijeniti je u nesebičnu Ljubav prema bližnjemu. Ali, morate misliti na to da brinete jedino za vaše tijelo, dok god vi namirujete vašu sebičnu ljubav, i da vi ne prikupljate nikakva duhovna blaga, koja će jednom činiti vaše bogatstvo u onostranom kraljevstvu. Vi morate misliti na to da vaš boravak na ovoj Zemlji nije vječan, nego da trebate ispuniti zadatak: promijeniti vaše biće u Ljubav; jer ste stupili na Zemlju kao čovjek sa samo malim stupnjem čiste, nesebične Ljubavi, kojeg vi sada trebate povećati.... ukoliko vi ne morate najprije zapaliti Ljubav u vama.... Ali, vama gospodari sebična ljubav, i nju morate potisnuti, što uvijek znači borbu protiv svih želja (gramzljivosti), koje žude ispunjenje fizičke ugode. Pažnja uvijek mora biti skrenuta na bližnjega, i čovjekovo nastojanje mora biti da prema njemu čini djela Ljubavi, ako on želi promijeniti sebe samoga, odnosno, svoje biće, u Ljubav. On se zbog bližnjega mora naučiti odreći, mora biti spreman podnijeti žrtvu zbog bližnjega, on mora iznutra prema van biti potaknut činiti dobro svome bližnjemu, i njegova sebična ljubav će postajati sve manja, što je snažnija volja čovjeka. Stoga je rečeno da „Kraljevstvo nebesko podnosi(trpi)silu (nasilje), i jedino tko koristisilu, ga prisvaja....'' Onaj čije je samoljublje još vrlo snažno, morat će primijeniti veliku silu da ga smanji, njemu će se stalno pred očima pojavljivati privlačnosti (izazovi, draži) svijeta, jer će ga Božji protivnik iskušavati gdje god mu je moguće, i bit će teško oduprijeti se svim tim kušnjama, on će morati primijeniti silu.... ali to će mu uspjeti, čim njegova volja nastoji da on ispuni svoj zemaljski zadatak: promijeniti svoje biće. Njemu će biti dovedena snaga, jer on želi postići cilj.... Kako bi on stremio ovom cilju, uvijek iznova će mu biti ukazano na zapovijedi Ljubavi prema Bogu i prema bližnjemu, i ako je on dobre volje, onda će se on isprva samo pokoriti (odazvati) vršenju svoje dužnosti, on će nastojati ispuniti Božje zapovijedi.... da bi on zatim bio potaknut iznutra prema van na Ljubavno djelovanje, i borba protiv samoljublja će se sve više smanjivati, jer će on biti pobjednik nad samim sobom, ako je dobre volje. Ipak, većina ljudi je savladana sebičnom ljubavlju, oni misle samo na sebe same, u njima se Ljubav ohladila, i zbog toga oni ne mogu biti pobjednici (oni koji su nadvladali), oni stalno traže jedino zemaljsku korist i ne misle na njihov život poslije smrti.... A, njihova sudbina će biti gorka, jer će ući siromašni i bijedni u onostrano kraljevstvo, gdje će uspon također biti težak, jer se ni onda oni neće željeti odreći svoje sebične ljubavi, jer će i onda misliti jedino na svoju vlastitu sudbinu, i neće ih doticati sudbina drugih duša. Za ove duše je posebno teško ukloniti svoju sebičnu ljubav, i dugo će vremena morati ostati u nevolji i muci, prije nego se promijene, i okrenu svoj pogled na duše u istoj bijednoj situaciji. Zbog toga na Zemlji treba zvati blagoslovljenim onoga koji se odrekne svoga samoljublja, još prije nego on bude morao predati svoj zemaljski život.... Jer, čim je duša jednom upoznala pravu Ljubav, ona se može lakše odvojiti od onoga što inače ne bi željela ustupiti zbog koristoljublja. A onda ni opasnost više nije toliko velika, kada ona pristigne u onostrano kraljevstvo; onda će ona također moći osjetiti Ljubav prema bližnjemu, i lakše će se uspinjati, jednom će postići i blaženstvo, budući će Ljubav u njoj rasti, što više ona sama prakticira Ljubav. A za to će imati puno prilika, budući Bog pomaže svakoj duši, tako da se ona može odvojiti od tame i doći na svjetlo.

AMEN
