SJEDINJENJE DUŠE I DUHA KROZ LJUBAV-NU AKTIVNOST....

Snagu koju vam Bog prenosi putem Svoje Riječi vi manje osjetite tjelesno, a i pored toga ćete biti oslobođeni, jer okovi duše time će biti rastureni, i ona će postati sposobna čuti glas Duha u sebi. Neprestano se trebate boriti i moliti za dotok snage i stoga tijelo to ne osjeća kako čovjek ne bi postao nemaran pri stremljenju. Izmoli li si on snagu od Boga, onda će sasvim izvjesno njome i biti obdaren, a nikako se ne može nazadno razvijati onaj tko traži snagu iz Boga. Jer Bog neće dopustiti da se niti jedan čovjek uzaludno moli za neki dar koji je duši od koristi. Kad vama ljudima snaga iz Boga dolazi u obliku Njegove Riječi onda je i Duh u vama probuđen i može se sporazumjeti sa dušom, tj. duša je sposobna primiti poduke Duha. Ona je dakle već u određenoj slobodi i koristi tu slobodu za spajanje na Duh, koji se isto tako želi sjediniti s njom. Tek kad je duša sjedinjena s Duhom postigla je stupanj zrelosti koji kao rezultat ima svijetlu budućnost u onostranom.

Duša i Duh na početku utjelovljenja nisu bili spojeni. Duša nije znala ništa o Božanskoj iskri koju je u sebi nosila. Tek putem Ljubav-ne aktivnosti postala je toga svjesna, pošto se teko tada Duh javlja i izražava. Cilj i svrha zemaljskog života je sjedinjenje duše i Duha.... što može biti postignuto jedino putem Ljubavi. Ljubav-na aktivnost duši donosi snagu, tako da ona može osjetiti djelovanje Duha.... Može primiti njegove poduke, shvaća te mudrosti koje joj se podjeljuju (otkrivaju) pa ih onda može i predavati dalje.

Za sve to je potrebna snaga koju može tražiti od Boga putem srdačne molitve ili si ju postiže kroz neprestano Ljubav-no djelovanje putem kojeg ona isto tako traži snagu od Boga. Duh u čovjeku neprestano će poticati na Ljubav pošto je on sam Božanska iskra Ljubavi.... Kad je duša jednom Ljubav-no aktivna, onda se ona u sebi duboko spaja sa Ljubav-nom iskrom, a što je dublja povezanost duše i Duha, to slobodniji i postaje Duh, koji koristi slobodu za prijem duhovnog blaga iz duhovnih predjela, koje on onda dostavlja duši.

I sve je snaga iz Boga.... Tako da Božanska snaga pritječe čovjeku svakim prijenosom duhovnog blaga. Ona postiže to da se duša i Duh sjedinjuju i teže istome.... sjedinjenju s Bogom.... Čak i kad veza duše i Duha čovjeku ne dolazi do svijesti osjetno, on se sve više priključuje žudnji Duha, tj. on dušu više ne sprječava ako ona u sebi želi uspostaviti vezu s Duhom, i bez otpora se prepušta njezinoj volji. Jer tada Duh vlada razmišljanjem, osjećanjem i htijenjem čovjeka i njegov zemaljski život onda mora biti uspon prema gore....

AMEN

Unification of soul and spirit through love....

You will feel the strength which God imparts to you through His word less physically and yet you will become free, for the soul's shackles will be broken as a result and it will be able to hear the voice of the spirit within itself. You should constantly struggle and ask for the grant of strength, and therefore the body will not feel it, so that the human being will not become lax in his endeavours. If he requests strength from God, he will inevitably receive it, and he who requests strength from God can never be regressive. For God will not let anyone ask in vain for a gift that will benefit the soul. If you humans receive the strength from God in the form of His word, then the spirit in you has also awakened and can make itself understood by the soul, i.e., the soul is able to receive the spirit's instructions. It is therefore already in a certain freedom and uses this freedom to unite with the spirit, which also wants to unite with it. Only when the soul is united with the spirit has it reached the degree of maturity that results in a light-filled beyond. Soul and spirit were not united at the beginning of embodiment. The soul knew nothing of the divine spark it harboured within itself. It only became aware of it through the activity of love because only then did the spirit express itself. The goal and purpose of life on earth is the unification of soul and spirit.... which can only be achieved through love. Loving activity gives strength to the soul, thus it can feel the working of the spirit.... it can receive its teachings, it grasps the wisdom imparted to it and can therefore also pass it on. All of this requires strength, which it can request from God through heartfelt prayer or acquire itself through constant labour of love, through which it likewise strives for strength from God. The spirit in a person will always motivate him to love, as he himself is a divine spark of love.... If the soul is now active in love, it unites itself intimately with the spark of love within itself, and the more intimate the union of soul and spirit is, the freer the spirit becomes, which uses the freedom to receive spiritual good from spiritual regions, which it then feeds back to the soul. And everything is strength from God.... And thus divine strength flows to the human being with every transmission of spiritual knowledge. It causes the soul and the spirit to unite and strive for the same.... union with God.... Although the bond between soul and spirit is not perceptibly realized by the human being, he also increasingly joins the spirit's desire, i.e. he does not hinder the soul if it wants to enter into union with the spirit within himself and submits to its will without resistance. For now the spirit dominates the human being's thinking, feeling and willing and his earthly life must now be an ascent to the heights....

Amen
