It is the spiritual connection among yourselves that promotes you in your striving for the height. You should pass on everything you receive and thus work for the Lord. In this way, the messages from above will be spread, and they will be accepted with joy wherever there is a desire for them. It is immensely instructive to receive these announcements, because man is introduced to a knowledge that gives complete information about the rule and work of God in the entire universe and the spiritual life of His creatures. And if man now imagines that only the infinite love of God imparts such knowledge to him, he must likewise pass on in love what has been imparted to him to those fellow men who are in need of truth and hungry for truth.
God himself therefore brings His creatures together so that each one carries out the mission which God himself determines. His earthly child who wants to serve Him, must often let God's Spirit speak in him and therefore also do everything to pass on what is given to him. They must develop an unusual gift of speech and always turn their thoughts to God, then they will be visibly guided in their train of thought and thus can teach unobjectionably, because their will is to serve God. And the true service of God consists in the fact that His Word is spread and thus finds entrance among mankind.
This precious Word, the Lord's greatest gift of grace, must be received with gratitude if it is to have the effect on the earthly child that God intended for it. And this power expresses itself in the fact that the knowledge comes to man, if he surrenders himself to the Divine Word in the will for truth. The imparting of the truth from God, will be a difficult work for the people - however, much spiritual support is available to them. And it will be shown that all these proclamations penetrate the human heart much easier than the book of the fathers, which contains much wisdom, but needs a strict purification, and therefore it's power is easily lost, which can be seen from the infinite number of additions, which are only man's work.
If now the teaching man has to fight against resistances on earth, which prevent him from conveying the Divine Word, then he must first get strength from this most holy Word. He must try to free himself as far as possible from such teachings as have not yet been sufficiently explained to him, and must try to harmonize everything that is already his spiritual property with what he has been commanded .... but what cannot be united with it, he must unhesitatingly drop as hitherto unclarified. So he must not regard the life in the embodiment as a human being as the beginning of the life on earth, but he must know that his soul has already gone an endless long way and now the Divine grace gives it the possibility to become what it's destiny is: a child of God ....
Only the explanation of the soul and it's task gives fullest information about the necessity of all world-historical events, because otherwise a violent separation of the soul from the body would mean an unheard-of cruelty on the part of God or would presuppose a different shaping of the soul, which the Divine Creator incorporates into humans at birth, but which again could be felt as injustice. Immensely erroneous conclusions can be drawn, if the course of the soul is not first recognized, and then also the pure truth cannot be supplied to those who are not willing to accept this teaching of the slow development of the soul up to the embodiment as a human.
They can never be given information about the actual purpose of creation and the purpose of life on earth. For what God puts into man, what He Himself has created, is perfect. Something perfect, however, needs no task to reach the height, because the perfect has already reached the height. What would be the use of the earthly life-journey, if the being .... the soul .... is already perfect? But the soul, which embodies itself in the human being, is far away from perfection, thus it did not come from God as it is constituted at the beginning of the embodiment. It consequently must have already traveled a distance before, and man must be informed about it, so that man can understand his task on earth.
Therefore the teaching must be accepted unhesitatingly, which is offered to man from above and which first gives a clear picture about the importance of earthly life and the state of the human soul before embodiment. And this knowledge is to be spread and the teaching is to be accepted unobjectionably as truth, and then people will recognize their responsibility in earthly life and form their life accordingly to the Divine will ....
Amen
