"[7] Yes friend, on My part, the proportion between spirit, soul and body is perfectly and accurately weighed with each human being. It is only the illusionary wisdom of men, that old inherited sin, which has changed the good proportion into a bad proportion.
[8] Take for instance the old myth about your Prometheus and his self-created daughter Pandora. Who is that Pandora actually? [9] Look, this is an image which stands for the illusionary wisdom and the nosiness and worldly lust for pleasure of men by which he is chained to the hard matter. Even if from time to time an eagle comes to him from the heavens, and strongly warns him that he should release himself from matter, then this is of little use. For as soon as the eagle went away for a while, the liver in the soul of man – which is the symbol of his worldly lusts – is again completely enlarged, and the eagle from the heavens must eat it again. Do you understand this image? [10] Moreover, look to what Moses himself said in a clear image about the first human pair, and you will find therein exactly the same thing. [11] And if this is so, then it is not because of Me that the people became worse, because I laid in the soul a little advantage for the world, but gave him on the other hand at the same time a complete light from the Heavens, with which he can overcome that small preference for the world with little effort." (50. How to safe materialistic souls - GGJ Book 22)

"Once the Holy Spirit will come over you, Whom I shall at a later time pour out over you from the heavens, He will lead you into all truth. This will be the spirit of love, the Father Himself who will draw and teach you so that you may all come to where I shall be.
[4] For truly I tell you: No one will come to Me unless he is drawn to Me by the Father. You must all be taught by the Father, that is, by the eternal love in God, if you want to come to Me. You must all be as perfect as the Father in Heaven is perfect. Yet neither great knowledge, nor the greatest deal of experience will get you there, but only the active love for God and in the same measure for the neighbour. Therein lies the great secret of the rebirth of your spirit out of God and within God." (GGJ IV, 1) The necessary struggle of man
"If someone then comes upon too great an obstacle, I shall give him a light and the power to safely conquer such a stumbling-block. But every man must above all do all that is within his power." (GGJ VI, 51:13) Why sometimes the answer to prayers is delayed "[10] Believe Me: our Jehovah is since eternity the only true, good, living God and has never failed to answer the supplications of those who without doubting believed in Him, who have kept His commandments and thus also who loved Him above all and their fellowman as themselves. Even if He sometimes delayed to completely answer their supplications in order to purify their souls all the more, but He still has never failed to answer them completely and has always fulfilled them, often at a moment when those who prayed for it thought about it in the least. [11] You yourselves – I know this very well – have often prayed in your need to God that He would take away your misery, but because you previously lived in great wealth as men who were in high esteem, but have thereby manifested physical and spiritual laziness in every respect, He let you go through a serious and hard school of life for a few years, so that you would not only experience the attractiveness of the earthly life but also that you yourselves would experience its bitterness, so that from then on you would search in yourselves and come to know the real value of life and its purpose. see also: Satan (Fundamental Teachings) // Devil (Fundamental Teachings) // Satan (Support for Scriptures) Earth and Moon chap. 53, 33, 54, 55:
53 Satana’s soul We already know that a soul may be re-divided, because she is composed of countless particles of intelligence. This will occur either for total dissolution or in specific partial concentrations, in accordance with the kinds and various numbers of the united individual intelligences within, so as to assume corresponding formations. There are many examples of this phenomenon in and upon the Earth. Look at the various metals, plants, and animals, which clearly provide you with many such examples whereby psychic or astral connections may shape themselves into the most peculiar formations. They are no more than external material pictures of internal soul forms, because the external form can only correspond to the internal one; as the internal power of formation, thus is the effect of the external form. Such a division of the soul occurred when the first human pair was created, when out of one soul two souls came, because nowhere is it said that the Creator breathed life into Eve; instead, Eve came forth from Adam with a body and a soul. Into this second soul was also placed an immortal spirit; thus out of one human being and out of one soul came two, and yet they were one flesh and one soul. A division of the soul may easily be recognized in children, because the soul of the child is taken partially from the soul of the parents. The resemblance of children to their parents is proof of this. And what is foreign is what is dissimilar. |
