Direction of thought and will of the soul ....
Mind or body ....

The less resistance the soul puts up to the spirit within itself the more obviously it can express itself and the more audible its voice is to the human being, for then the soul also determines the bodily senses and organs to its functions, which then correspond to the spirit's influence. Thus the human being's thinking and willing must first relate to the inner life so that the spirit can become effective in the human being. And thus a person can never be filled by God's spirit if his thoughts and intentions are predominantly directed towards the preservation and well-being of the body. For then the soul would neither be able to hear the voice of the spirit within itself nor would it be able to impart spiritual good to the intellect's organs, since the latter would likewise be unable to receive it.

And thus the serious will to be instructed by the spirit within is the first prerequisite for it to express itself, for the will emanates from the soul and can apply to the spirit or the body. And the will determines the thoughts which, however, then start from the spirit in the human being as soon as the working has been made possible for it. But then the human being can completely leave himself to its influence, he will always think and act correctly if he fulfils the conditions which allow the working of the spirit. For the first time, therefore, the human being's thinking and willing must be directed towards his inner life, he must want to think about the soul and not the body. ....

Furthermore, he must be aware of the fact that he has to fulfil a task on earth, he must be aware that he has to make the divine commandment of love the guiding principle of his way of life in order to fulfil God's will; furthermore, he must desire purest truth and inwardly search for it .... he must listen inwardly to what God, as the Giver of truth, conveys to him through His spirit. He must ask for His loving instruction, otherwise God's most precious gift will be withheld from him because he does not appreciate it accordingly.

And thus the soul must constantly work on itself, i.e. completely adapt its thinking, feeling and willing to God's will and thus shape itself into a receptacle for the divine spirit, which can then work in it without restriction. The process itself is a transmission of strength from the spiritual kingdom, i.e., God Himself directs His emanation into the heart of the human being, who therefore now harbours divinity within himself, which must appear in the form of knowledge, of deepest wisdom, thus of light-fullest realisation.

The state of knowledge is already an alignment with the eternal Deity, Who is pure light and strength in Himself. People in whom the divine spirit can work will always be surrounded by light, yet only recognisable to those who are able to see spiritually, while the physical eye perceives nothing special, only from the external effects, from the increased knowledge, can the human being conclude to divine spiritual working.

But if a human being is surrounded by light, then he himself is also a light bearer, he has become, as it were, a power station in connection with the spiritual world, which in turn can now emit and thus pass on the divine emanation to where it is received without resistance ..... Every transmission of power and light requires the willingness of the receiver. The least resistance, however, prevents it, but resistance is countered by thinking and wanting .... by turning the soul away from the spirit in it and turning towards the body, i.e. by responding to its wishes and desires.

Then the soul unites with the body instead of establishing the union with the spirit in itself according to its task, which then takes care of a complete union with the Father-Spirit from eternity. Thus it is up to the soul in which direction it turns; it always finds support on the part of the spirit but never on the part of the body. The latter constantly demands, while the latter gives and demands as the only consideration the giving up of resistance in order to be able to work unhindered, i.e., to bring its influence on the soul fully to bear ....

If the soul, with the help of the spirit, also succeeds in making the body inclined to its wishes, then the spiritualisation of the body is also guaranteed, i.e.., its material substances also enter the state which allows light to pass through, all resistance is given up, and the result is that the soul hears the spirit's voice within itself in all clarity and can also render it audibly to the bodily ear, that the human being thus hears the divine voice sounding within himself and stands in brightest light, i.e., filled with profoundest knowledge.i.e. is filled with the deepest knowledge, because God's strength of love flows through him in all fullness, because the unification of the spirit in the human being with the Father-Spirit has taken place from eternity and the soul has matured and can enter the spiritual kingdom as a being of light to unimagined bliss ....

Amen
