unites with the uncreated soul, and that is the rebirth of the soul in the Spirit out of God." (GGJ Book 19 chapter 5) "[1] All those who, already on Earth, will follow Me and My words will reach that goal which I indicated to you so many times as the rebirth of the soul. So this is when the soul has become pervaded by the spirit by which he is already capable in the body to penetrate in all higher wisdom of the Heavens and become lord, not only over himself but with that also lord over his environment, yes even over nature and hidden powers, when he tries, out of love, to fulfill My will for the benefit of fellowman. The means to reach that goal are called: faith and true love for fellowman. [2] Such reborn people can and must also be very righteous people, such as there existed at all times and who possessed the highest completion of the soul, but therefore they had not necessarily reached the community with the personal active Spirit of God. [3] This was also not possible up to now because the deity was still not personally visibly present, except in Me. All righteous people who reached the rebirth of the soul before My physical life could despite that still by far not see the deity as you can. That is why their teachings show that penetrating in the highest completion seems like an ascension in infinity to them because God Himself, as non-personal Being, means infinity in which the blowing of His power can spiritually be felt but to the soul it could not be made visible in a person at that time.
[4] Only after My death, when this body will be taken up as a garment of the almighty, infinite deity Himself, will all those, who have left the physical life before My time, also be capable, by seeing the present deity in person, to live in eternal community with Him. And this in a city that I already showed to you when the 12 illuminated pillars frightened the Jerusalemites at night and which represent the true heavenly Jerusalem – the eternal city of God. This united eternally living together of God with His children is the rebirth of the spirit." (Book 25 GGJ chapter 77) see also The spiritual rebirth and Lord's example as purpose of His incarnation (exc. NR) "Once the Holy Spirit will come over you, Whom I shall at a later time pur out over you from the heavens, He will lead you into all truth. This will be the spirit of love, yhe Father Himself who will draw and teach you so that you may all come to wher 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. [5] But each one will first have to go with Me through the narrow gate of complete self-abnegation before he becomes like I am. Each one must cease to be something by himself so that he may become everything in Me. [6] To love God above all means: To completely merge with-and enter into - God. And to love the neighbour likewise means: To completely enter into the neighbour, otherwise one can never wholly love him; but half a love is neither to him who loves nor to the one who is loved of any benefit." (GGJ IV, 1) see also Love for God and fellowman Basis of the spiritual rebirth. God's spark of love in the heart of the soul "Therefore, I have prepared the new way in such a manner that My Spirit, which I am now laying - and have laid - as a spark of My fatherly love into the heart of every soul, be nurtured through your love for Me and thereby kindled truly and actively into love for fellowman, that it may grow within your soul, and after attained the proper size and strength, completely unite and become one with the purified soul, which act shall and will - be called 'rebirth of the spirit'. [10] However, this spark of My love will not be laid in its fullness into the heart of a soul until a man has heard My word and accept it in his heart in faith and love for the truth, Unless this is the case, no man, however perfected in his soul, can attain to the rebirth of the spirit. For the spark of My love does not enter the heart ofyour soul without My word as I am speaking it to you now. [11] Henceforth, also infants, consecrated to Me and baptized upon My word and in My name, shall receive the spirit spark of My love into the heart of their soul. However, this will not grow with a wrong upbringing , but only with an upbringing according to My order which I have now shown you in all clearness." (GGJ IV, 220) Conditions for the spiritual rebirth of the soul see also Spiritual development of man and obstacles (Greatest Mysteries) "[7] He who, according to My teaching desires a quick and complete rebirth in the spirit of his soul, needs to live a life that is as chaste as possible and should not let himself be charmed and seduced by the flesh of young and adult women, for this draws the life of the soul outwardly and by that he prevents greatly the awakening of the spirit in the soul, without which however no complete rebirth of the soulin his spirit is imaginable or possible." (GGJ Book 18 chapter 89) "[2] But I said: “Yes, yes, such a wine is a strengthening drink, but only when it is taken with moderation and on time. But for those who are immoderate in drinking wine and get drunk, it is then no more a strengthening drink but a drink that weakens his whole body. Therefore, always drink this drink with moderation in My name, and then it will also strengthen you for the eternal life of the soul. But in the immoderate usage of this drink, the evil spirit of lewdness and fornication lays hidden. This spirit does not awaken the soul to life, but makes him dead for the true spirit of life from the Heavens and makes the spiritual rebirth of the soul in the spirit from the Heavens nearly impossible on this Earth. Do also remember that.” (GGJ Book 19 chapter 23) Signs of the spiritual rebirth "Every human has an immortal soul in which dwells an even more immortal spirit. So that the soul, as a spirit developing out of matter, can become fully at one with the Primordial Spirit of God called 'love', the soul must strive spontaneously to firstly free itself from matter and all its demands whatsoever and in all its aims and actions be governed by the purely spiritual and, secondly, keep striving solely to unite with the spirit of God's pure love within it.How does man become aware that his soul has united with its indwelling true Spirit of God? - That he verily easily perceives within. When you no longer feel within yourself any pride, any unnecessary ambition, thirst for glory, envy, greed, love for splendour and self-love, but instead feel all the more living, true love for the fellowman and for God and a true, heart-warming joy when in an emergency you have shared all that you possess with your poor, suffering brothers and sisters; indeed, when you feel great sorrow in your heart for not being able to help some poor, when God means everything to you, but the whole earth with all its treasures nothing, then your soul has already united with the Spirit of God within, has attained to perfect eternal life, is wise and able, wherever necessary, to perform miracles by merely willing it." (GGJ V/51, 3 on) "Whoever wants to attain to the spiritual rebirth in order to gain miraculous powers (for ambitious and selfish reasons), can rest assured that such grace will not be bestowed on him. For this would literally mean to throw the finest pearls to the swine.Love for Me, great goodness of the heart, love for all mankind - this, in short, is the true sign of spiritual rebirth. However, where this is lacking and the person's humility is not fully developed, neither halo nor cassock or spiritual visions are of any avail. All these people are often further from the Kingdom of God than some others who appear very wordly. For the Kingdom of God never comes with any outer pomp, but enters quitely and humbly into the human heart." ("Bishop Martin", chap 70) Consequences of the spiritual rebirth see also The powers of a spiritually reborn man "[5] From this, all of you can clearly see now how penetrating truth and wisdom will be for those who can rejoice in the full rebirth of their soul in My Spirit. And I say to you once more what I have told you already many times, namely that no human eye has ever seen, no human ear has ever heard and no human awareness has ever experienced what kind of endless and unspeakable happiness God has prepared for those who truly, that means by action, love Him. [...] [10] Look, this is also how things are with the value of the rebirth of the human soul in his initial spirit of life out of Myself. Is it not worth that a good person gives up all his worldly treasures and would only strive with all his might for the greatest pearl of life, namely the rebirth of the soul in the initial spirit of life? Or is it not better to take care for the eternal life of the soul than to be worried about all perishable treasures of the world that will perish and rot, and probably will never again come back completely to the eternal, clear life of their souls?" (GGJ Book 19 chapter 9) "[10] I said: “When you will live in such a way that your soul will be completely reborn in his spirit, that spirit will quickly and easily be able to settle with all impure spirits that are still in your flesh, and then you will die a blissful death, also what concerns the body. But someone who in general will indeed seriously live and act according to My teaching, but besides that will still secretly fall back into his old habits, yes, then he also will not be able to reach the complete rebirth of his soul in the spirit, and finally during his passing away, with all humility and patience, he will have to accept that he still will have to struggle with many sorrows. Because then, the suffering will be the fire which will purify the life’s gold of men from many dross. Because that which is spiritually impure cannot enter Heaven, which is as much as saying the following: the pure Spirit from God cannot unite completely with the soul until this soul hascompletely and forever banned everything out of himself that belongs to matter and its judgment. Indeed, whoever wants to separate with a blissful bodily death from this world must take this well into account." (GGJ Book 19 chapter 30) Rebirth of the soul and rebirth of the spirit "[12] Now when the soul has made himself completely subordinate to the nature of his spirit and has by that no more earthly wishes so that he solely strives to the spiritual and has therefore, as a self-conscious soul, passed into the spiritual, then the more completed person has reached a level that was indicated by the Indian sages as ‘Nirvana’, thus a condition in which every will, based on fleshly, earthly tendencies, is destroyed and which eliminates every life in the flesh as material existence. That condition is possible in the material life and should even be reached so that total peace will come into the heart of man. [13] Now you all have almost reached that rebirth of the soul. However, over there in My Kingdom, when I will have ascended, there is still another rebirth, which is the one of the spirit, which will then consist of an inseparable community with Me. There will be the highest bliss of the children in the house of the Father and joys which no human heart can ever suspect because they are purely spiritual and of which not the smallest glimpse can be made understandable to you before that time." (Book 25 GGJ chapter 75)
