“However, if you, my dear child, in hours of solitude will scrutinize this matter earnestly, i ask you this: has it never struck you as strange that, despite all the calamities of human life, other sentiments, other emotions often asserted themselves within you, which did not always express disgust and despair, but which revealed more gentle, more consoling aspects of spiritual life to you? Have you never felt compassion, never an urge to look upward? Have you never felt the gentle sentiment of love in your heart with which you, forgiving the whole of mankind, could still love them? Have you never, when witnessing a great natural phenomenon or gazing in the stillness of the night up into the starry heaven, sensed a holy foreknowledge which, had you responded to it, would have lifted you up into higher spiritual spheres where the human bustle would have disappeared, making way for a more beautiful, gentler feeling, the feeling of forgiveness and love! Did not in such moments your god appear to you in a better light than as the dead science taught you, saving he ruled as an implacable tyrant? I know only too well that there were many such moments that seized your heart; only you did not want to listen to them.” (Secrets of life, 12) “(Angel Raphael) [13] You, dear friend Philopold, had not as yet been born a hundred years ago and did, therefore, not exist as you are existing now; but do you ever feel that you had not always been there? Only the cold calculating of your intellect indicates to you that you have not always been there, but your heart and your most vivid perception tell you the exact opposite. [14] Likewise your cold intellect shows you that you will one day die and, thus, disappear forever and ever from this earth as that which you are now. However, do ask your heart and your feeling, these two will know nothing about any procedure of dying and disappearing from this earth, nor do they want to know about it. [15] Well, which one has the right and truth in it, - the cold intellect or the warm life-consciousness? I tell you: Both, the intellect as well as the warn life-consciousness aware of itself. The intellect as well-ordered brain library, will with the casting off the body. Its material capacity of perception and calculation, being transient, must, together with the other parts of its body and its limbs, also have the feeling of being transient. But it is a different thing with the life-consciousness and the self-awareness which, because spiritually they stem from God, have never had a beginning and can, therefore, never come to an end. [16] For this reason even the most materially-minded soul finds this impossible to think of itself as one day perishing and ceasing to be. Thus, it becomes ever brighter within the soul, and once it is completely at one with its indwelling spirit out of God, the awareness of life becomes so clear and mighty as to make the feeling of transiency, which comes from the cold calculation of the intellect, lose any meaning and force. [17] The reason for this is that the spirit of the Lord which permeates all vital forces of the soul also permeates the nerve-essence parts of the body, thus freeing them from all feeling of transiency. This is achieved through the fact that in the end all specific etheric life-substances of the soul, become immortalized.” (GGJ III chap. 180) „I was nailed to the cross in those days, My teaching was derided, and My disciples were abused and persecuted. And that is how it shall be again. Instead of My person, men will nail My teaching to the cross and deride it." (Lord’s Sermons 91) "But leave those who think themselves learned men to their pseudo-wisdom. The time of their triumph will be short." (Lord’s Sermons 31) "A time will come when all your notions of wisdom shall not be sufficient to give you solace or even peace. In the events that shall come upon you, you will be standing between two worlds and accuse God and your fate of cruelty, because the material world shall reject you with derision, and the spiritual shall not receive you." (Lord’ Sermons 30) "All are compelled towards maturity of mind and spirit; even the greatest materialists, the most stubborn of unbelievers, and the indifferent are not left in peace." (Lord’s Sermons 170) "And this is what has to happen, so that it shall be recognized everywhere on your earth that matter (the things of the world) was created only for the sake of the spirit." (Lord’s Sermons 118) “For the spirit there is only one sole truth, which consists in recognizing the One true God, loving Him above all and one’s neighbour as oneself. This is better than all the sciences of the earth, ad to this end the life of man is always long and good enough. Whoever is initiated into this one truth by the spirit of God’s love in his heart, will in the shortest possible possess more wisdom and knowledge than all the libraries of the whole earth.” (GGJ X 242:1-2) "The one who wants to search and to fathom God with his reason will have a difficult task and will hardly come even one step forward, but the one who searches God with the love in his heart, will soon find Him and will easily reach his true destiny of life." (76. The power of the spirit - GGJ Book 21) "Recognize the time you are living in how it presses on toward deliverance, recognize by the decay of all that is noble in the world that the time is not far off when men will reap what they have sown. Recognize the stream of light that is beginning to pour out over your world, hear the voices of the spirit world which fall upon your ears with great waves of sound; they are the warnings of a loving Father. Recognize clearly that above all physical existence there is enthroned the world of spirits and that matter and material life, called transitoriness, are actually only assistant factors, necessary as a means to an end, but not the principal thing." (Secrets of life, p. 140) For the atheists scientists (Messages) "Refusing to accept a Creator and Law Giver, they endow matter with intelligence, saying: we are merely following one impulse or another." "... they do not wish to find the spirit." "Yet nature is everywhere calling out to you: We are! but not by chance, nor knit together according to your 'laws', but out of and through a higher power, brought into form..." "We are! but not 'force' and 'matter', as you believe in your blindness; we are 'spirit'!" - i.e., bound "spirit, dissolved spirit, spirit creative in form, and again destroying its forms, so that in the end we shall emerge from all the struggle transformed into spirit, to show you that everywhere in nature everything is spirit, and that you merely lack the spirit to comprehend, refusing, despite revelation in visible and invisible nature to come round to the admission: Yes, we realize that we know nothing." (Secrets of life, p. 81) "As I have told you before, your worldly scholars do not believe in everything they write down and often recant on their deathbed everything they have written. These scholars, as they erroneously call themselves, whose whole system is often, indeed mostly, built on a hypothesis which, wrong or not, is at least provable to them, know how to erect with clever words and seemingly logical conclusions an edifice on this hypothesis. And he who accepts the first sentence of the hypothesis as true is of course compelled to believe everything else."

Here and there individuals may discover traces of a sublime spiritual power, beyond the elements that are already well known, but they will make every effort to explain away what is there right before their noses, in very roundabout ways and using long-learned scientific terms, or they will invent their own explanation, not wanting to acknowledge that there is a God. If there has to be one, they want to be that god themselves." (Lord’s Sermons 322) "... for many, the whole of My creation is to this day a mute collection of matter, its laws to their minds merely arising by chance." "They would rather dispute away their own ego than declare themselves vanquished by factual proof for the existence of God." „The keenest theorists, scientists and investigators of matter will in the end all come to the point, and have to come to it, however great their resistance, that high above matter there lives a great spirit who unites the smallest of atoms as well as the largest of universes to form a whole..." (Lord’ Sermons 221) "Your clever materialists believe that the whole world is moved and activated only by force and matter - two things that they themselves are not really able to explain." (Lord’ Sermons 174) "Many of the worldly wise only produce something that will serve earthly purposes, while anything deeper, inner and spiritual remains alien to them." (GGJ IV 236, 1) "The worldly understanding of men does not grasp the inner things of the spirit and of living truth, and takes those for fools who bring them news of such." (GGJ IX 132, 16) "[1] Now I taught My disciples that they received a good example here, showing to what a worldly attitude and lust for power will lead, and how necessary it is to be always on one’s guard and not to believe to already have assimilated every knowledge and light in oneself as those 3 Pharisees were thinking. They could be considered real scientists because they wanted to examine everything with their critical reason and only wanted to believe what they saw, but by that they fell from one doubt into another because after they were looking, they doubted again whether they looked well, and they finally did not trust their own actions and words. Furthermore, their striving, although serious, was nevertheless wrong because it was only directed to the outer and not to the inner, and only that formed the consumable kernel, as with a nut on which one can really break his teeth on the purely outer form. That is why it was still by far not possible to make Myself known to them." (GGJ Book 25, 33)
