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-IZVIRNI DUH ....
Duhovna snov dozoreva tekom vsakega obdobja razvoja, in eno časovno obdobje lahko dejansko zadostuje za duhovno snov, da bi napredovala skozi stvaritve do te mere, da ima možnost sebe utelesiti kot človek in uspešno opraviti svoj zadnji izpit volje.... Vendar je lahko potrebnih tudi nekoliko takšnih obdobij (Odrešitve) za poduhovljenje otrdele snovi duše, če je odpornost teh tako močna, da njihov razvoj navzgor napreduje le počasi, in tudi obstoj kot človek pomeni nevarnost, da bo duhovno ponovno padlo v brezno. Kajti svobodna volja katera se preizkuša v fazi kot človek, je odločilnega pomena.
Vendar pa je pred tem ta svobodna volja omejena.... Čeprav trda duhovna snov sicer ni več pod vplivom volje Božjega nasprotnika zaradi tega procesa razvoja skozi stvaritve Zemlje.... posamezne snovi kljub temu niso sposobne uporabljati svobodne volje, temveč so pod nadzorom Božje volje. To pomeni, da njihov proces razvoja poteka v stanju prisile, one so predmet volje Boga, Kateri dodeljuje nalogo vsem duhovnim snovem znotraj del stvarstva. Skozi uresničevanje te naloge v skladu z zakonom prisile one postopoma napredujejo, to pomeni, da se njihov odpor zmanjšuje; one opravljajo funkcije služenja in lahko počasi dosežejo stanje, ko jim je svobodna volja lahko ponovno vrnjena.
In ta proces razvoja zahteva stalno spremembo zunanje oblike.... to je počasen vzpon, to je integriranje v zakone narave, in zatorej podrejanje Božji volji, čeprav pod določeno prisilo, ki pa lahko le pomaga osvoboditi bitje in mu je nekega dne namenjena zagotoviti svobodo razmišljanja, hotenja in delovanja, s ponovno uporabo njegove lastne volje. In temu procesu skozi dela stvarstva se ni mogoče izogniti, če se duhovno bitje hoče zopet vrniti k Bogu, od Katerega se je nekoč oddaljilo neskončno daleč skozi svoje odpadništvo od Njega, da s svojo močjo nikoli ne bi bilo sposobno premagati te oddaljenosti, in za vrnitev tudi nikoli ne bi bilo osvobojeno od Božjega nasprotnika, če Bog ne bi iztrgal duhovne snovi vstran od njega, ravno z namenom njenega izgnanstva v materijo, v stvaritve na tej Zemlji.
Božji nasprotnik ima pravico nad padlimi duhovi, ker so mu oni prostovoljno sledili v brezno.... Vendar pa ima tudi Bog enako pravico, ker so bitja izšla iz Njegove moči. Zato je Bog upravičen v tem, da jih iztrga iz nasprotnikovega nadzora (oblasti), vendar pa je slednji zato dobil pravico, da lahko ponovno vpliva na dušo, ko ta živi na Zemlji v fazi človeka. In v ta namen je duhovna snov ponovno morala pridobiti določeno stopnjo zrelosti, kjer je sposobna uporabljati svojo voljo, da se svobodno odloči, katerega gospodarja bo izbrala.
Vendar pa Bog ne more nenadoma prestaviti duhovne snovi v to stanje. Ona mora iti skozi proces vzpona po korakih, prav tako kot se je spuščala v brezno, ona mora odstopiti od svojega odpora počasi, ker on ne more biti nasilno zlomljen. In to zahteva številne spremembe oblike skozi svet mineralov, rastlin in živali do človeka.... Z vsako spremembo zunanje oblike se prav tako zmanjšuje njen odpor, ker bitje mora služiti v stanju prisile, s čimer pridobiva vse lažje oblike....
Vendar pa je greh odpadništva od Boga tako neizmerno velik, da je oddaljenost od Njega prav tako neizmerno velika. To pomeni, da so potrebne neštete spremembe oblik, da bi se ta razdalja zmanjšala, da bi se ponovno prišlo v Božjo bližino, ko je potrebna le še končna odločitev svobodne volje, da odpade od duhovnega bitja tudi zadnja oblika.... da se bitje ponovno vrne k Očetu, iz Katerega je nekoč izšlo....
In ta celotni proces razvoja v stvaritvah Zemlje je en nenehni boj.... Duhovna snov poskuša razpočiti zunanjo obliko, ker jo ona doživlja kot omejitev, vendar pa prav tako doživlja vsakokratno razpokanje (razstrelitev) oblike kot dobrodejno, ne glede na svojo stopnjo zrelosti....
In zaradi tega tudi boj, katerega vi ljudje lahko opazujete v živalskem kraljestvu, izgleda le okruten v vaših očeh, medtem, ko vsaka žival spremembo svoje zunanje oblike vedno znova doživlja kot olajšanje. Iz tega razloga Bog dovoljuje ali celo želi, da šibkejši podleže močnejšemu, da močnejši lahko konča življenje šibkejšega, in tako rekoč je na ta način celo sposoben služiti duhovni substanci, da nadaljuje svoj razvoj. Vse dokler je torej bitje podložno zakonu prisile, je vse določeno s strani volje Boga, tudi njegov konec in njegova nova oblika....
Vendar kakor hitro je bitje doseglo stopnjo človeka in je ponovno prejelo svojo svobodno voljo, Bog umakne Svojo voljo.... In potem so človeku dani zakoni, po katerih se mora on ravnati, če hoče da bo njegovo življenje na Zemlji uspešno.... Po eni strani je on vezan na zakone narave (z njimi omejen), po drugi strani pa je obveščen o Božji volji, kateri se mora podrediti, da bo njegov razvoj napredoval in dosegel konec, saj je cilj postati svoboden od vsake zunanje oblike in kot svobodni duh vstopiti v kraljestvo Svetlobe.... vrniti se v Očetovo Hišo, k Bogu od Katerega je bitje nekoč izšlo.
