Spiritualisation of the substances of the body ....

The body should help the soul to spiritual maturity by giving itself up, by suppressing every desire and only allowing the soul's desire to come into its own, which, if the body releases it, completely surrenders to the spirit within itself, thus giving in to its desire and its urge. The more the body joins the soul's desire, the more the soul's material outer form spiritualises itself, and then it no longer needs to travel such a long earthly path, whereas a completely materially attuned body still needs a long time after its bodily death before it has overcome its desire.

The spiritual substances of those souls' outer forms are, as it were, refined, they are no longer so grossly material, although they are still earthly matter. The soul drags it over with it into the realm of the spirit, to which it has conceded all dominion over itself, and the body follows it willingly, it renounces everything that otherwise seemed desirable to it, it is completely without resistance and therefore no longer turned towards the world.

And a human being will mature more quickly if body and soul are subject to the spirit within. This now governs them in love and wisdom .... what he demands is carried out by the soul and the body, and this contributes to spiritual progress. For the soul will be able to hear the voice of the spirit because the body is ready at the same time by keeping every disturbance away from the soul, by putting itself into the state that the voice of the spirit expresses itself. For the body must completely detach itself from the world, it must close its bodily ear and leave the listening to the soul so that it will then convey it to it.

The less the soul is hindered by the body, the more audibly the voice of the spirit sounds to it. The body, however, also achieves great success. It overcomes matter much more easily, it is, so to speak, strengthened by the nourishment which the soul receives, it spiritualises itself more and more, and the soul takes spiritual substances of the body into itself when it departs from the world. The earthly material components of the body will not have to undergo such a long process of maturation, sometimes even being admitted to the formation of a new human soul, where they can completely spiritualise themselves.

Where soul and body push towards the spirit, such spiritualisation is guaranteed, if God's eternal order is also paused in the upward development of the spirit. However, the course of upward development can be considerably shortened when the spiritual's resistance is broken, i.e. when the spiritual itself gives up all resistance, which is always the case, when the body detaches itself from everything it otherwise strives for, when it facilitates the soul's spiritual striving by joining it and seeking to break every earthly fetter through conscious devotion and submission to the spirit within itself, which now draws soul and body to itself, and a rapid upward development of both is now the result ....

Amen
