Destroying and destroying matter against God's order ....

As the spiritual in matter relates to itself, so is this matter also to be evaluated ..... If it perceives matter as a fetter then it seeks to escape from it, it seeks to break it, and thus matter causes the spiritual will to change, that the spiritual decides to serve in order to be released from its fetter. Thus the spiritual perceives matter as a judgment .... But in his wrong thinking and will the human being strives towards matter, which he should overcome during the short time of his earthly life.

The human being can detach himself from it in free will, only the physical cover still surrounds the spiritual in him, and this cover is no longer so oppressive so that he can bear it and therefore feels it less as a fetter where his will is active in the right direction. Only the wrongly directed will makes the fetter noticeable, because then it is shown to him through God's love and wisdom that his striving is a wrong one, because he is to recognise the worthlessness of matter in himself through physical strain in order to regard it as unimportant and only pay attention to the spiritual in himself.

Nevertheless, the human being remains in constant contact with matter during his earthly life because he is supposed to help it, i.e. the spiritual in matter, to detach itself from it .... because he is supposed to create an opportunity for matter to fulfil its serving purpose .... thus to use it in the right way. The love of the heart must not apply to matter, but the love for the unredeemed in matter should move the human being to utilise matter and to create forms from it again which are meaningful and purposeful for the preservation and existence of other creations, for human beings and animals ....

Therefore, the destruction of matter is contrary to God's order as long as the purpose of such destruction is not a reshaping into creations which are a blessing for the neighbour. Matter may only be desired and utilised in this sense; however, the human being should never seek to enrich himself with matter, its acquisition should never prevent him from spiritual striving, i.e...., i.e., he must never put the desire for earthly possessions before the striving for spiritual good, for then he fails to recognise the actual essence of matter, which contains immature spiritual substances that are still at the beginning of their development.

The slow upward development of the spiritual substances, which are at the greatest distance from God, can only take place in the bound will, because if it abuses free will it would continue and continue and never ever find its way back to God. The spiritual being's wrong will has to be steered into a direction which, however, it need not take if it wants to resist ..... A pressure must be exerted on the spiritual which the spiritual feels unbearably and from which it wants to escape. The spiritual, which is originally able to work freely, is prevented from working by a hard counter-will, and God Himself opposes it with hard counter-will through matter, through an extremely hard external form, which the spiritual is unable to break through because it is completely without strength in its God-distant state.

For the powerful spiritual, matter is no resistance but can be dissolved in a moment. The spiritual must therefore feel its powerlessness in matter, otherwise it would never strive towards the source of strength from eternity. And as long as it is completely opposed to God it remains in the powerless, therefore dead state until it itself weakens in its resistance, until it is ready for a serving activity to improve its agonising state by a little. The harder matter is, the more God-resisting spiritual it holds, and the more harmful the striving for matter has an effect on the human being.

Only when the resistance to God has diminished considerably is the external form also softer and more pliable, and the spiritual can escape its deformation in an ever shorter time, in order to finally undergo the last test of will on earth in the human being, where the spiritual is indeed still enclosed by a material shell, which, however, no longer exerts any compulsion on his will, but which he now has to use properly if he wants to get rid of his material cover and enter the spiritual kingdom again as a completely free being, if he wants to reach his original state again, to be active in creating and shaping, as it is his destiny .......

Amen
