“Are you living—or are you a puppet of your blind thoughts?”
Since humans have lost touch with the reflections of the spirit of the heart, their divine intellect has been blinded. As a result, they have lost all true meaning in life. In order to give themselves meaning and significance and to create an apparent feeling of liveliness, they constantly talk to themselves and give themselves self-worth through inflated trivialities; they need constant input because the mind needs nourishment to satisfy its egocentric needs.
If one observes the workings of thoughts, one sees through their activities. One sees how they demand attention, drawing attention to themselves in a pushy and noisy manner like whining children. Similar thoughts attract each other and form communities that nestle in the soul as energy fields.
There are positive and negative ones, which require nourishment appropriate to their constitution. At first, they act only instinctively, but over time they learn to actively use human intelligence. The more intelligent a person is, the more sophisticated the thought forces that determine him and his environment. Within the limits of their available intellect, they lead their host into life situations that provide them with the energy supply appropriate to their orientation.
If, in the course of their childhood, youth, and adult life, someone indulges predominantly in destructive thoughts, corresponding energetic forces are formed, which largely determine daily life from the subconscious. Such energy fields will repeatedly create occasions in which the person slips into the dark spaces of their soul. Anger, envy, impatience, greed, insatiable curiosity, or other burdensome characteristics and dependencies then become their constant and predominant nourishment, which over time becomes normal for them. It is not uncommon for such a state to lead to moodiness, lovelessness, and ultimately contempt for life.
In contrast, positive thinking leads to an affirmation of life. A contented and joyful person will repeatedly encounter like-minded people who nourish their fields of cheerfulness and happiness. Positive force fields predominantly create pleasant life situations. People enjoy life, and their plans and wishes are usually fulfilled without much resistance.
Since both states are subject to polarity, they are mutually dependent, but in an imperfect world they interact unevenly. A predominantly positive person will therefore also experience the opposite pole on the scale of polarity. This can happen, for example, through living with a difficult spouse or other family member, ongoing problems in the professional environment, illness, the death of a loved one, or other stressful
circumstances. These hardships offer the opportunity to detach the innate or learned cheerful disposition from emotional superficiality and direct it to areas of consciousness that can reveal a deeper meaning in life. Even people with negative attitudes experience the opposite aspect, but due to their psychological stress, they are usually unable to perceive it, or only for a short time. Their destructive conditioning does not allow for lasting joy; they always find something negative everywhere, which puts them back on their usual destructive foundation. Such a person may be torn from their dark world by an accident or serious illness before they threaten to drown in it. , humiliating suffering has brought about many a change. If the person does not seize this opportunity for a new beginning, they are usually called to the afterlife in the near future. Occasionally, someone in traumatic suffering separates from their conditioned personality—which, without an energy supply, either dies in a very short time or collapses instantly—and thereby experiences partial or even complete liberation. According to their basic character and their cultural and religious background, this person will then reveal their newly gained life. Many spiritual teachers have emerged from such an experience.
When a person constantly seeks God’s presence, they gradually emerge from spiritual imbalance. The energy fields that determine them are permeated by the divine spirit and dissolve in it like morning mist in the warming rays of the sun. The positive-negative polarity remains, as it is what makes life possible, but now the positive and negative poles are synchronized in love for God and complement each other equally. This unity enables a perfect way of life in physical existence and also ensures the perfect complementarity of Creator and creature in the eternal home.

The soul is the active and interacting link between matter and spirit. It is the receptacle of both the world of opinions that surrounds it and the spirit of God that dwells in its heart. However, due to the selfish, materialistic orientation of consciousness that prevails in this world, it withers away so much in human childhood and youth that its desires can only be directed outward and fulfilled there. Its instrument, the brain, degenerates and is no longer able to grasp divine thoughts.
In the course of his life, the incessant material thought forces become so deeply engraved in his brain cells that he can only think in preconceived forms in the corresponding areas of life: he becomes rigid in his thinking and actions and imprisons himself in them. Often, only an illness or other stroke of fate opens up a way out, because pain and suffering have the power to break down, change, or override mental imprints and structures.
Thus, many factors determine how a person goes through life. Fundamental simplicity and a lack of deformation make it easier to let go of mechanisms bound to the godless mind. Uncomplicated people are not so much trapped by the intellect; they are more able to turn to divine love, to grasp and comprehend it more freely. Intellectual power and intelligence are useful tools, but their use is usually accompanied by (hidden) arrogance and snobbery if one does not consciously place love of the heart above one’s cleverness. Simplicity is indispensable in the life of faith, but in selfishness and lovelessness it becomes stubbornness and know-itallism.
If someone wants to walk the path of faith seriously and truthfully, intellect and education play no role. In devotion to the divine will, the spirit of the heart causes the soul and brain to heal together. The heart and mind then complement each other perfectly and serve love together. Man no longer stands in his own way; thoughts from the spirit can flow unhindered and reveal themselves as words and deeds of light in the world of appearances and death.

The brain is not an independent thinking organ; it is there to receive, organize, and store the thoughts of the soul. It is an instrument necessary for earthly life which, according to its given and/or trained functionality, enables a good or bad memory as well as easy or difficult comprehension. This circumstance has led to the
erroneous belief that intelligence is solely attributable to the brain’s ability to think and learn, which is not true.
The soul thinks with its animating spirit. Its thoughts are born in its heart, rise up, and wander through the individual consciousness, which on the one hand is shaped by this present-minded experience, whereby the thoughts become personal property, and on the other hand, the soul itself has a coloring effect on the spiritual ideas that form it. Only then do they reach the brain, where they become visible to humans. Thoughts are therefore stored in the brain apparatus in a material form (intellectual thinking and memory) on the one hand, and in their spiritual existence in the soul (emotional thinking and memory) on the other. Depending on the orientation of consciousness, one or the other has more weight.
When measuring brain waves, one does not read the brain’s own thinking activity, but rather the processing and translation of soul-spiritual consciousness impulses into formal meaning.
In earthly life, thoughts can be retrieved from the brain, whereas in the spiritual world they are only available in the soul’s memory – after all, the brain remains part of the body. If one has not kindled the light of one’s heart in love for God during earthly existence, there is no possibility of reading the thoughts of the soul in the beyond. One is more or less blindly and traumatically trapped in one’s sphere and experiences one’s existence in the beyond as a projection of self-sufficient mechanisms and imprints. If a person has already kindled the fire of their heart in this life, they will gradually and increasingly make ‘intuitive’ decisions and distinctions. Awakened in spirit, they will eventually perceive their thoughts in their soul. They will no longer think, speak, and act mechanically under the ” ” command of the egocentric mind, but will use their mind freely in the light of love. This way of life will lead them deeper and deeper into spiritual consciousness and create the necessary conditions for a true existence both in this world and in the hereafter.
When a person is reborn in spirit, they no longer perceive their thoughts as elements of consciousness separate from God. As a citizen of the heavenly world, they live in the all-pervading and all-encompassing divine self-awareness.

Although the spirit of God in man is initially bound in the exercise of its qualities, its radiance gives him intelligence and self-responsible willpower, which enable him to be completely independent in all areas of existence. In contrast to animals, which only have the abilities prescribed by their souls and can therefore only exist in the ways intended for them by God, humans are completely free in their thoughts and actions. Their spirit enables them to evaluate and organize all possible thoughts. We refer to this as intellect and reason.
These should actually serve humanity as tools for right living and for finding truth, but in its selfishness it has misused them and degraded them to instruments for satisfying earthly prosperity. Intellect and reason now serve only material needs—a God-inspired way of life (intellect: “What is that?”) is no longer considered. This atheistic way of life is commonly defined as the age of enlightenment and progress. With the help of this egocentric intelligence, deadly weapons have been and continue to be invented, and peoples are exploited, enslaved, and murdered. It has created a world full of indignity and cruelty, a violent planet dominated by wars, famines, and inhuman economic and political systems. A planet whose mentally ill inhabitants are driven by greed for possessions and money, obsession with power, and relentless pursuit of pleasure, and who seek to satisfy their insatiable needs by ruthless means.
Now one might say, “Humans aren’t that bad! They have created social welfare organizations, humanitarian organizations, and practical aids for all situations in life. They have invented ships, airplanes, and cars, television and computers; they generate energy and use it for their well-being. They have penetrated deeply into the nature of matter and researched physical and chemical processes and states that enable them to live in a progressive and visionary way.”
Yes, that is correct. Due to the loss of their spiritual identity, humanity created a world adapted to their needs. Within reasonable limits, this would be right and just, but it has devoted itself body and soul to matter
. Instead of using and applying its creative powers to gain spiritual insight and thereby find its way back to the children of God, it lost itself in the pursuit of external gratification and lost sight of its true origin and destiny.
All the useful inventions and scientific discoveries of modern times may have dispelled the superstitions created by the church, but the age of enlightenment and progress gave birth to a world of unscrupulous power-hunger and modern slavery. If you look behind the scenes of large corporations today, you will mostly find an industry driven by greed and lust for power. The companies that dominate the global economy know only one maxim: to increase their profits immeasurably under all circumstances. Numerous (aid) organizations that were originally founded with good intentions have been infiltrated and contaminated by their financial backers, who control them in the interests of their own agendas. Every invention that serves humanity finds its ultimate application as an instrument of unscrupulous enrichment and the exercise of power.
Consequently, it can be said that the misuse of divine potential always causes suffering if it is not handled with mindfulness and wisdom. However, the hardship brought about by wrongdoing in turn opens the door to the light, because ultimately, the perfection that underlies everything always brings about good.

Intellect and reason enable an orderly existence in the world of time-bound knowledge; they are a necessary light in the night of the soul. If these instruments serve earthly needs alone, they prevent a living faith, for in their rational calculations they accept only what can be explained logically. The godless intellect binds man to selfish thoughts and absurd worldviews. The ratio of reason denies an afterlife—and a Creator who cannot be proven is deemed highly improbable.
Thus, the Age of Enlightenment eliminated the superstitions of earlier days, but at the same time gave birth to a new blindness by declaring atheistic science to be the existential tool of knowledge. Mind and reason degenerated into minions of spiritual death and led humanity straight into madness.
Human beings live completely differently when they use their intellect under the auspices of divine love, whereby both powers of the mind enter into a blessed union with each other. This enlightened thinking allows for a meaningful and truthful way of life in which one finds oneself as a self-aware child of God. The tree of knowledge bears living fruit.

The interpretation of enlightenment is based on states that contain or reveal universal love, bliss, security, and eternal peace. However, spiritual experience has no place in the materially oriented mind, since worldly conditioning can only comprehend the soul-spiritual dimension to a low degree, let alone experience it. Godless thinking can never find the way to eternal bliss. The path to heaven lies off the beaten track of broad avenues of thought. The function and burden of the properly used mind is, on the one hand, to give man discernment in the labyrinth of ungodly ways of thinking and, on the other hand, to serve as an instrument for separating the soul from its divine spirit, for it creates an egocentric field of consciousness as a prerequisite for free love of God. When used correctly, therefore, blessing lies on the tree of knowledge.
These necessary duties end in its entry into the love of the heart. Once the soul has found true knowledge of God and actively integrated it into its existence, the mind is grasped, filled, and enlightened by the spirit of the heart. Egoistic thinking recedes to make way for comprehensive divine consciousness. Now the mind can perform its true function as an organ of divine wisdom. Now the processes of everyday life take shape in their value and necessity in the service of selfless love.
It creates the space that Christ consciousness needs for further development. For man is not yet born into the spirit of his heart; only in unconditional devotion to the Father’s will of love can it permeate him completely and make him an inhabitant of the heavenly world. Now bliss, security, peace, and love are the eternal and divinely living property of the soul.

Human beings want to adapt and subordinate truth to their worldly understanding, rather than surrendering their worldly understanding to truth. Intellectual thinking defends itself with all the weapons of argumentation and aggression at its disposal, because it wants to ‘survive’. It believes that if it enters into God’s will, it will lose its independence. Humble observance and obedience to necessary instructions and rules of conduct are regarded as restrictions on free-thinking life: “A loving God cannot limit the autonomy and independence of his creatures by imposing rules on them!” But even earthly education and training show that refined character development and purposeful learning can only take place through obedient adherence to prescribed guidelines and caring instruction.
As a result of this “egocentric-liberal” way of thinking, revealed truth has mostly been and continues to be nipped in the bud. This has led to the emergence of countless spiritual and religious viewpoints. A fundamental truth that virtually destroys all the false truths of this world is not only no longer accepted, but is labeled as presumptuous, megalomaniacal, inflexible, etc., and tolerantly confirmed with statements such as “All paths lead to God,” “Truth has many faces,” or “Why should it be that one in particular!?” Some of these views are correct in a certain sense, because with a sincere heart, one can become a loving person in any religion. Unfortunately, however, in the general spiritual blindness, all religions are placed on the same level. In the general delusion of tolerance, the so-called Christian is no longer able to finally profess the one valid truth in Jesus Christ. Thus, misunderstood open-mindedness and liberality become a cover for spiritual disorientation and ultimately the gravestone of spiritual death.
There is only one God and therefore only one fundamental truth and one will based on it. Love, life, truth , and divine will are inseparably one. Only in love for our heavenly Father does man find the truth of all life— and a freedom that worldly understanding can never give him.

“Thy will be done!”
In prayer, we usually say these words more or less thoughtlessly and are in no way aware of their significance. With these three words, we consistently place our lives in God’s hands. We give our heavenly Father our consent to guide us in all matters—whether joy or sorrow, we will accept our fate with trust. We declare our willingness to no longer act self-righteously, but to seek and fulfill God’s will at all times. We declare our willingness to entrust all our cares to Him. We confirm that we want to serve Him in love, however and wherever He may lead us.
In this light, the mind can hardly utter the words, for in their realization it relinquishes dominion over its human being. Only the trusting and humble heart sees into the depths of the words and finds there the love from which they emanate. Only at this source is the true knowledge of God revealed, who loves his children above all else – and here the child can imagine nothing more beautiful than fulfilling the will of his heavenly Father. Only in the realization of these three words does the fundamental union of God the Father and the human child take place.

Many people think that entering into the divine will robs them of their freedom, that they will then no longer be able to lead an independent life. On the surface, this does indeed appear to be the case . If one believes that the main aspect of freedom is to remain permanently in the imperfection of one’s own will, then this point of view is justified.
However, this changes when we look into the heart of the Father. In recognizing the perfect freedom and liberal perfection contained therein, we become increasingly aware of the inadequacy and captivity of our own will. In this light, one sees that the will of God is all-encompassing and all-fulfilling love. From this arises the desire to surrender the egoistic, imperfect, and blind will to the freedom of the divine will of love, in order to first share in it and ultimately to be active in it at all times.
In the subordination of one’s own life to the recognized life of God, in the surrender of one’s own will to the divine will, in the surrender of one’s own love to divine love, the soul’s heart releases and opens its life-giving
spirit. The union of Father and child takes place, and the child, now reborn in spirit, accomplishes its earthly life free from earthly bonds.

In the freedom of the divine will
What is called a free life in this world is, in the light of truth, a deadly captivity. Truly free thinking and acting only take place when entering into the divine will—only this is absolutely free, for it arises from perfect love and the divine wisdom that forms in and from it. It is not subject to any legislation, it is not bound by any guidelines, because it cannot go wrong. God’s will is unconditional and boundless freedom, it is almighty creative power, it is infinity permeating vitality.
When a person enters into God’s will, the greatest treasure in time and eternity is revealed to him. He becomes aware that his own innermost will in the love of his heart is no different from God’s will. He recognizes that in the love of God, the separate parts of the will are united. In this fulfilling love, the heavenly Father pours His Spirit into the soul: a merging of wills takes place—the wedding of the divine Bridegroom and the soul bride. The person is permeated by a previously unknown vitality and freedom. Now he experiences what the words mean:
“No eye has ever seen, no ear has ever heard, and no human being will ever be able to express what God has prepared for those who love him above all else.”
He can only say the words: “Father! You! My life and my everything!”
