Causa y efecto de la experiencia espiritual

Toda experiencia espiritual es causa y efecto a la vez. El hombre sagaz puede observar en cada momento que la experiencia espiritual ha sido precedida un acontecimiento que orientó sus pensamientos hacia las alturas.

Estos pensamientos hicieron surgir preguntas sobre las que tuvo que meditar.

Las preguntas le obligaron a creer en una Fuerza que se manifiesta en cada hombre.

Y esta fe encendió en su corazón la chispa del amor que, por su parte, reanimó su espíritu.

Pocos pueden imaginarse lo beneficioso que resulta para la criatura andar por este camino, empezar a aceptar.... El día que lleguen al Más Allá los que han dado el primer paso en el puente que lleva al Reino eterno, podrán pasar en seguida a las regiones luminosas y olvidar todas las aflicciones de la vida terrenal.

Todavía se plantea la cuestión de qué suerte les cabrá a quienes siempre se apartan voluntariamente de la materia y nunca tienen en cuenta los placeres mundanos pero que, al mismo tiempo, muestran la misma indiferencia ante el mundo espiritual. Pues ellos se complacen, tanto espiritual como físicamente, en su estado de letargo, conformándose con vivir una vida estrecha.

Para que esta clase de hombres empiecen a desarrollar una gran actividad y comiencen a dedicarse a su verdadera tarea, tienen que pasar por experiencias interiores extraordinarias que los despierten de su indiferencia psíquica y física. Cuando el espíritu se manifiesta al hombre, en adelante lo tendrá en cuenta todo. Observará con atención todo lo que sucede a su alrededor, empezará a pensar más profundamente, y sacará provecho para su alma de cada experiencia. Entrará así en un estado en el que la experiencia espiritual producirá en él una gran actividad: la de vivificarse a sí mismo, es decir, a su alma. Ya no juzgará unilateralmente cualquier situación que se le presente, sino que siempre será consciente de que todos los hilos tienen su origen en Dios, y que Él no manda o consiente nada que no sea para la maduración espiritual de la criatura. Cada acontecimiento de la Tierra le sirve para que su espíritu actúe, y para poder ser iniciado por él en la sabiduría. Para poder cumplir enteramente su tarea estando todavía en la Tierra.

Amén.

Cause and effect from spiritual experience....

All spiritual experience is cause and effect at the same time. The attentive man can observe at any time that the spiritual experience must be preceded by some event, according to which his thought-direction has just taken the way to the height..... From this thinking then a spiritual immersion in questions arose, concerning the eternal Godhead.... such questions forced the human being to believe in a power, which so to speak expresses itself in every human being.... Faith ignited in the human heart the God-spark of love, and by the love, the spirit was again animated. Only a few realize how blessed is the path that an earthly child walks in the beginning of recognition....

To have entered the bridge which reaches over into the eternal kingdom is of incalculable advantage for the earthly child, for it is spared the unspeakable struggle in the hereafter, and on entering the hereafter it can also soon pass over into regions of light and leave behind all suffering on earth. But now the question forces itself on humans, which fate is given to those, which separated themselves always willingly from the matter, which demanded nothing from the world and it's joys, but stood also just as indifferently opposite to the spiritual world..... These were both spiritually and physically sluggish and found their satisfaction in the state of complete inertia, their body was indeed little captivated by earthly desire, but also their spiritual well-being was not particularly close to their hearts.... but they were content with the most meager life on this earth.

Such people must have extraordinarily strong inner experiences which shake them out of this lethargy of body and soul, so that then the actual activity begins and they now devote themselves fully to their task. Once the spirit has revealed itself to them, then the person also attentively takes in everything that follows.... He observes now attentively all events around him, begins to think and draws now from each experience his use for the soul.

And then the state sets in where the spiritual experience works itself out in diligent activity on himself.... on his soul, and then man will not make a one-sided judgment in every situation of life, but he will always be mindful of the fact that all threads go out from God, that therefore nothing is sent or permitted by God which does not serve spiritual maturity.... thus every earthly event should also simultaneously set the spirit in activity to finally be guided by it into all wisdom and to be able to completely fulfill the task already on earth. For what man already achieves on earth, is immensely beneficial for the soul and will be felt extremely beneficially when leaving the earthly shell, so that the soul may enter the eternal kingdom without any obstacles.... the kingdom of peace.....

Amen
