Development of the soul.... Original spirit....
Spiritual substance matures during every developmental period, and one period can in fact suffice for the spiritual substance to progress through the creations to the point that it is able to embody itself as a human being and successfully pass its last test of will.... But several such periods may be needed for this spiritualization of hardened soul-substances if resistance is so strong that its higher development is too slow and the existence as a human being carries an added risk of the soul descending into the abyss again. For free will, which is tested during the stage as a human being, is decisive.
But prior to this, free will is constrained.... Although the hardened spiritual substance is no longer subject to God's adversary's will due to this process of development through the creations of earth.... the individual substances are nevertheless unable to use free will, instead they are controlled by God's will, that is, their process of development takes place in a state of compulsion, they are subject to God's will, Who assigns a task to all spiritual substances within the works of creation. By accomplishing this task within the law of compulsion they gradually progress, i.e. their resistance lessens; they carry out a helpful function and are able to slowly reach the state when their free will can be returned to them. And this process of development requires constant changes of the external shape.... it is a slow ascent, it is an integration with the laws of nature and therefore a submission to God's will, if only due to a certain amount of coercion which, however, only helps to relieve the being and one day is meant to provide it with the freedom to think, want and act using its own will again.
And this process through the works of creation cannot be avoided if the spiritual being is to return to God again, from Whom it had distanced itself to such an infinite extent as a result of its apostasy that it would never be able to overcome this distance of its own strength, and would never be released by God's adversary to return either if God did not remove the spiritual substance from him for the very purpose of banishing it into matter, into the creations on this earth. God's adversary is entitled to the fallen spirits because they had voluntarily followed him into the abyss.... But God has the same right because the beings emerged from His strength. Hence God is justified in removing them from the adversary's control, but in return the latter was given the right to influence the soul again when it lives on earth in the stage as a human being. And to this end the spiritual substance must have attained a degree of maturity again when it is able to use its will in order to freely decide which lord to choose.
But God cannot place the spiritual substance into this state instantly, it has to cover the process of ascent in the same progressive stages as it had descended, it has to relinquish its resistance slowly, as it cannot forcibly be broken. And this requires innumerable changes of form, through the world of rocks, plants and animals to the human being.... Every change of external shape also lessens its resistance, for the being has been of service in a state of compulsion by which it gains increasingly lighter forms.... But the sin of apostasy from God is so vast that the distance from Him is therefore vast as well, which means that untold changes of shapes are needed to reduce this distance in order to come closer to God again, when only the last free decision of will is required for the last form to fall off.... for the being to return to the Father again from Whom it had originated....
And this whole process of development within the creations of earth is a continuous battle.... The spiritual substance tries to burst the external shape because it experiences it as a constraint, but each time it also experiences the rupture of the form as a relief irrespective of its level of maturity.... And this is why the struggle, which you humans are able to observe in the animal kingdom, only seems cruel in your eyes, whereas time and again every animal experiences the change of its external shape as a relief. For this reason God permits or even wants the weaker to succumb to the stronger, the stronger to terminate the life of the weaker and, in a manner of speaking, is thereby even able to serve the spiritual substance to continue its development. Therefore, as long as the being is subject to the law of compulsion everything is determined by God, its end as well as its new formation.... However, as soon as the being has reached the stage of a human being and has received its free will again, God withdraws His will.... And then the human being is given laws which he has to observe if his earthly life is to be successful.... On the one hand he is tied to the laws of nature, and on the other hand he is informed of God's will, to which he has to submit if his development is to progress and reach a conclusion, for the goal is to become free of every external shape and to enter the kingdom of light as a free spirit.... to return to the Father's house, to God, from whence the being once originated....

RAZVOJ DUŠE.... PRVOBITNI DUH....
Duhovna supstanca sazrijeva tijekom svakog razvojnog perioda, i jedan period može u stvari biti dovoljan za duhovnu supstancu da bi napredovala kroz tvorevine do tocke da je ona u stanju sebe utjeloviti kao ljudsko bice i uspješno proci njezin posljednji test volje.... Ali nekoliko takvih perioda mogu biti potrebni za ovo produhovljavanje ukrucene duševne-supstance ako je otpor toliko snažan da je njezin viši razvoj toliko spor i postojanje kao ljudsko bice nosi jedan dodatan rizik da ce se duša ponovno spustiti u bezdan. Jer slobodna volja, koja je testirana tijekom etape kao ljudsko bice, je odlucujuca.
Ali prethodno tome, slobodna volja je ogranicena.... Premda ukrucena duhovna supstanca više nije predmetom volje Božjeg neprijatelja zbog ovog procesa razvoja kroz tvorevine Zemlje.... pojedinacne supstance su unatoc tome nesposobne koristiti slobodnu volju, namjesto toga one su kontrolirane od strane Božje volje, to jest, njihov proces razvoja se odvoja u stanju prisile, one su predmetom volje Boga, Koji dodjeljuje zadatak svim duhovnim supstancama unutar djela stvaranja. Time što ostvaruju ovaj zadatak pod zakonom prisile one postepeno napreduju, to jest, njihov se otpor umanjuje; one vrše pomocne funkcije i sposobne su polagano doseci stanje kada im njihova slobodna volja može biti vracena. I ovaj proces razvoja potrebuje neprestane promjene izvanjskog oblika.... to je polagani uspon, to je jedno integriranje sa zakonima prirode i prema tome podredenost Božjoj volji, pa iako zahvaljujuci izvjesnoj kolicini prisile koja, medutim, jedino pomaže osloboditi bice i jednog dana je naumljena osigurati mu slobodu razmišljanja, htjenja i djelovanja uz ponovno korištenje njegove vlastite volje.
I ovaj proces kroz djela stvaranja se ne može izbjeci ako ce se duhovno bice vratiti opet k Bogu, od Kojeg je jednom sebe udaljilo u takvoj beskonacnoj mjeri kao rezultat njegova otpadništva da ono nikada ne bi bilo sposobno prevladati ovu razdaljinu svojom vlastitom snagom, i isto tako nikada ne bi bilo oslobodeno od strane Božjeg protivnika da se povrati da Bog nije otklonio duhovnu supstancu od njega u samu ovu svrhu njezinog prognavanja u materiju, u tvorevine na ovoj Zemlji. Božji protivnik ima vlast nad palim duhovima buduci su ga oni dobrovoljno slijedili u bezdan.... Ali Bog ima isto pravo buduci su bica proizašla iz Njegove snage. Otud je Bog opravdan u tome što ih otklanja od protivnikove kontrole, ali zauzvrat je potonjem bilo dano pravo da vrši utjecaj na dušu opet kada živi na Zemlji u stadiju kao ljudsko bice. I sa ovim ciljem duhovna supstanca je morala opet steci stupanj zrelosti kada je u stanju koristiti njezinu volju kako bi slobodno odlucila kojeg ce gospodara odabrati.
Ali Bog ne može trenutacno postaviti duhovnu supstancu u ovo stanje, ona mora preci procesom uspona u istim progresivnim stadijima kako se bila spustila, ona mora odustati od svog otpora polako, kako on ne može biti nasilno slomljen. I ovo zahtjeva nebrojene promjene oblika, kroz svijet stijena, biljaka i životinja do ljudskog bica.... Svaka promjena izvanjskog oblika takoder umanjuje njezin otpor, jer bice je bilo od službe u stanju prisile cime zadobija rastuce lakše oblike.... Ali grijeh otpadništva od Boga je tako ogroman da je udaljenost od Njega takoder ogromna, što znaci da su nebrojene promjene oblika potrebne da bi se ova udaljenost umanjila kako bi se ponovno došlo blizu k Bogu, kada je jedino potrebna posljednja odluka volja za posljednju formu da otpadne.... za bice da se povrati k Ocu opet od Kojeg je jednom bilo poteklo....
I ovaj cijeli proces razvoja unutar tvorevina nove Zemlje je neprestana borba.... Duhovna supstanca pokušava rasprsnuti izvanjski oblik buduci ga ona doživljava kao ogranicenje, ali svaki puta takoder doživljava raspuknuce forme kao olakšanje bez obzira na njezin stupanj zrelosti.... I to je zašto borba, koju ste vi ljudi u stanju promatrati u životinjskom kraljevstvu, jedino izgleda okrutna u vašim ocima, dok opet i iznova svaka životinja doživljava promjenu njezina izvanjskog oblika kao olakšanje. Iz ovog razloga Bog dozvoljava ili cak želi da slabiji podlegne jacemu, snažniji da dokonca život slabijega i, tako reci, je na taj nacin cak sposoban služiti duhovnoj supstanci da nastavi njezin razvoj. Prema tome, sve dok je bice podložno zakonu prisile sve je odluceno od strane Boga, njezin kraj takoder kao i njezina nova formacija.... Medutim, cim je bice doseglo stadij ljudskog bica i primilo je opet njegovu slobodnu volju, Bog povlaci Svoju volju.... I onda su ljudskom bicu dani zakoni koje on mora poštovati ako ce njegov zemaljski život biti uspješan.... U jednu ruku on je ogranicen/vezan uz zakone prirode, a u drugu ruku je on obaviješten o Božjoj volji, kojoj se mora podrediti ako ce njegov razvoj napredovati i doseci završetak, jer cilj je postati slobodan od svakog izvanjskog oblika i uci u kraljevstvo Božje kao slobodan duh.... vratiti se u Ocevu kucu, Bogu, odakle je bice jednom poteklo.
AMEN
