Mental coercion....
This is My will that your spirit develops freely, that you are not subjected to any spiritual compulsion, for this hinders your development and will never lead you to perfection. I can only evaluate what your freest will does, what you do out of love for Me and your neighbour, which you are not forced to do from any side. But if you are given commandments with promises of reward or threats of punishment.... be they of an earthly or spiritual nature.... then every work, every fulfilment of the commandments, is of no value for the soul. For earthly life is about the human being's free decision of will which, however, is hindered when the human being is put under pressure. And this happens on the part of ecclesiastical rulers when the human being is forced into a system, when actions are demanded of him which have no effect whatsoever on the human being's soul, which are worthless precisely because they are demanded, because the will is thereby made unfree. I place the freedom of the will above everything, for this shall be proven in earthly life.... The human being's will should be able to decide in every direction without being prevented from doing so. And thus you should also be allowed to believe or reject doctrines of faith as your free will deems right, but of your own accord you should try to find out what seems credible to you.... You should also be allowed to take note of the most diverse teachings and then decide for yourselves; you should form your soul completely freely, i.e. help it to reach the highest possible maturity.... And you will only succeed in this through love.... I certainly gave you the commandments of love but nevertheless you cannot be forced into love, it will always remain your own matter of will but also be the only path which leads to the right faith and to your perfection. And if you humans look at the ecclesiastical organisations from this side, then choose the one which guarantees you freedom of thought.... Examine all schools of thought and join the one which gives you freedom, which demands nothing but the living connection with Me as your God and creator, Who wants to make Himself known to you as father.... Join the 'church of Christ' which He Himself founded on earth, which only requires a living faith from you which is gained through love.... Then you will also be guaranteed complete freedom of thought, because I know exactly that you will attain the right way of thinking if you live out love, if only you fulfil these two commandments of love which grant you truth and knowledge, and then you will think and act of your own free will as it is right in My sight.... For if you have love then you truly don't need to be prompted to act by promises of reward or threats of punishment, for you will change your way of life according to My will and yet always decide freely out of yourselves, for then the love within you will push you, which is free but makes you unspeakably happy, which gives you a living faith which is strength in itself and which unites you most intimately with your father of eternity.... And then you will also be able to recognize every religious doctrine as truth or error, and you will only ever turn to Me as the eternal truth and desire to be taught correctly by Me.... Then your earthly life will be free, you will not act under compulsion, you will be driven by love for Me and for your neighbour, for everything you want, think or do.... And then you can also perfect yourselves, which, however, is never possible under spiritual compulsion...._>Amen

DUHOVNA PRISILA....
Moja volja je ta, da se vaš duh razvija svobodno in da niste podrejeni nikakršni duhovni prisili; ona namreč preprečuje vaš razvoj in vas ne bo nikoli pripeljala do popolnosti. Jaz lahko cenim edino to, kar stori vaša najbolj svobodna volja (oz. vi v popolnoma svobodni volji), kar storite iz Ljubezni do Mene in do bližnjega, na kar pa niste od nikogar prisiljeni....
Torej če so vam dane zapovedi z obljubo plačila ali grožnje s kaznimi.... ne glede na to, ali so materialnega ali duhovnega značaja.... potem vsako delo, vsaka izpolnitev zapovedi nima vrednosti za dušo. V zemeljskem življenju je namreč stvar v svobodni odločitvi volje človeka, katera pa mu je torej odvzeta, ko je človek postavljen pod pritisk. To se dogaja s strani cerkvenih mogotcev, ko je človek prisiljen na določen sistem, ko se od njega zahtevajo postopki, kateri pa nimajo nikakršnega vpliva na človekovo dušo in kateri so brez vrednosti ravno zaradi tega, ker je na ta način volji onemogočena svoboda.
Svobodno voljo postavljam iznad vsega, ker se mora ona dokazati v zemeljskem življenju.... Človekova volja mora imeti možnost odločitve v vseh smereh, brez da se jo pri tem prepreči. In tako lahko vi verjamete ali zavračate verska učenja tako, kakor ima že vaša svobodna volja v vas to pravico; torej vi se morate iz lastne pobude truditi raziskati tisto, kar se vam zdi, da je dostojno verjeti.... Morate imeti možnost spoznati se z najrazličnejšimi učenji in se potem sami odločiti; vi morate popolnoma svobodno graditi vašo dušo oz. ji pomagati, da pride do najvišje zrelosti.... To pa vam bo šlo od rok edino s pomočjo Ljubezni....
Res je, da Sem vam dal zapovedi Ljubezni. Vendar pa na Ljubezen ne morete biti prisiljeni; ona bo vedno ostala stvar vaše najbolj osebne odločitve volje, kakor tudi edina pot, ki vodi do prave vere in do vaše popolnosti. Toda ko vi ljudje na cerkvene organizacije gledate na ta način, potem izberite tisto, ki vam omogoča svobodo razmišljanja.... Preverjajte vse duhovne usmeritve in se priključite tisti, ki vam prepušča svobodo, ki ne zahteva ničesar, razen žive veze z Menoj, kot z vašim Bogom in Stvarnikom, Kateri se vam želi dati, da Ga prepoznate kot Očeta....
Priključite se »Cerkvi Kristusa«, katero je na Zemlji ustanovil On Sam, katera od vas zahteva edino živo vero, katero je moč doseči preko Ljubezni (glej Knjižico št. 56).... Tedaj vam bo obenem tudi zagotovljena popolna svoboda v vašem razmišljanju, ker Jaz točno vem, da vi prihajate do pravilnega razmišljanja, ko živite Ljubezen, ko izpolnjujete samo ti dve zapovedi Ljubezni, katere vam dajejo Resnico in spoznanje, kakor vi tedaj tudi v svobodni volji razmišljate in delujete tako, kakor je pred Mojimi očmi pravilno....
Ker če imate Ljubezen, potem vas resnično ni potrebno spodbujati na vaše postopke preko obljub nagrade ali grožnje s kaznimi, ker boste živeli Ljubezen-ski način življenja po Moji volji, kakor se obenem tudi svobodno odločali. Tedaj vas namreč motivira Ljubezen v vas, katera je svobodna, toda katera neizmerno osrečuje, katera vam edina daje živo vero, katera je v sebi moč in katera vas najgloblje povezuje z vašim Očetom Večnosti....
In tedaj boste vsako versko učenje lahko prepoznali kot Resnico ali neresnico, in vedno se boste usmerjali samo k Meni kot k Večni Resnici in si želeli, da ste od Mene pravilno podučeni.... Tedaj je vaše zemeljsko življenje svobodno. Vi ne delujete pod prisilo; Ljubezen do Mene in do vašega bližnjega vas spodbuja na vse, kar želite, mislite in delate.... Vendar pa se tedaj lahko tudi izpopolnite, česar pa torej pod duhovno prisilo ni mogoče (storiti)....
AMEN
