Visible creation Realm of the adversary of God,
but who has no power over it ....

Although everything visible testifies to God's strength and the Creator's will, creation is nevertheless part of His adversary, for its substances are spiritual substances permeated by His will, which has therefore set itself against God. And thus all visible creation has to be counted as part of His kingdom, only the human being, although also a material creation, can already escape from His kingdom during his earthly life, even though his body is still earthbound and not yet completely free from impulses of will which reveal His influence. The human being's soul, however, can already have completely fled his world and dwell in the kingdom which is its actual home, where only God's strength and will is active and where therefore no earthly creations exist which carry God-opposing will.

However, God's adversary does not have power over the visible creations on earth, although it is his kingdom ..... Substances related to him, of which creation is composed, are nevertheless completely inaccessible to his influence because God's will alone governs this creation. And therefore the spiritual substances bound in creation can continue their spiritual ascent unhindered once they have started it, they cannot be disturbed in any way by God's adversary in their course of development, for he has not the slightest power over the visible works of creation.

But this is why he constantly tries to influence the human being's will, because he is allowed to influence it and now tries to make extensive use of his power .... . His striving now goes towards influencing the human will such that he makes the destruction of creations of all kinds his goal .... And since this is mostly the effect of a loveless way of life, he therefore first seeks to kill love in the human being and to awaken in him the inclination towards the world, which drives him to obtain pleasures at the expense of his fellow human beings.

Once the human being allows himself to be carried away by loveless actions, he has placed himself in the power of God's adversary, and his thoughts and actions are contrary to God. And then he will open himself more and more to that influence and be a willing servant to it on earth. The material world is his kingdom, i.e., banished in it is the spiritual, which still carries its will within itself, thus is contrary to God, but which nevertheless strives upwards in the law of compulsion. He now seeks to liberate this spiritual so that it returns to him again and helps to increase his power. And therefore he seeks to encourage man to destroy works of creation for reasons of unkindness.

For a destruction of matter can also proceed in an orderly way and correspond to God's will, if love is the driving force of all activity of man and a destruction of matter only has the purpose to let new works come into being, which are of use and can therefore be counted as works of love. Then the spiritual in matter is only helped to further ascent according to God's will. And then the time has also expired which is set for the spiritual in every form; whereas the adversary of God seeks to prematurely abort this development and he needs the will of man for this, because he himself has no power over that which is created out of God's will and His power, which serves for the ascent development of the spiritual which once fell away from Him.

However, only unkind action towards the neighbour leads to the destruction of matter in his sense, and thus God's adversary has twofold plans which he seeks to carry out .... to liberate the spiritual and prevent it from developing upwards and at the same time also to win over the human being himself by first destroying all his development through his compliancy and in the last stage becoming in bondage again to the one who is the cause of his imperfect state and who seeks to draw all strength from God in order to increase his power.

But the human being himself can, in free will, destroy these plans of his, if he, through loving activity, puts himself into a state of perfection and thus completely liberates himself from the power of his former seducer and at the same time also contributes to the redemption of the spiritual under him, if he, in serving neighbourly love, reshapes matter into useful things, by seeking to protect matter from wanton destruction and by giving it the opportunity to fulfil its purpose at any time, i.e.., i.e., to serve human beings, animals or other works of God's creation according to their form.

Nothing is without meaning and purpose, and every work of God's creation is based on a wise purpose; and therefore man, too, should allow love and wisdom to apply in his activity .... Only creations which benefit the neighbour should come into being under his hand, and he should only offer his helping hand for the destruction of other works of creation, originating from God's or human hands, if the new form guarantees further development for the spiritual substance bound in matter. Wilful destructions of every kind set free unspeakably many spiritual entities which, depending on their maturity or God-resistance, must take revenge or endure torments until they are again newly formed and can continue their interrupted development.

Often, however, these entities, which have become free against their will, express themselves in a way which harasses people, although they are not physically noticeable, yet they have an effect on people's souls, directing them excessively towards matter and thus triggering urges and desires in them which are extremely harmful to their upward development and make the enemy of souls rejoice at his success. For he does not let up in the battle for human souls and approaches them with all temptations ..... Yet love sets the human being free, and anyone who lives in love will no longer desire matter either; he will be restlessly active and contribute to its redemption through his activity, and the tempter will never be victorious over him ....

Amen
