Remote effect of thoughts.
In the remote effect of thoughts man has the easiest way to recognize a supernatural power, because he then must see all assistance of man being switched off and admit that there is something at work that he would otherwise want to deny. But when now something comes obviously to light that thoroughly shakes the further will of refusal – when a man gets influenced mentally to carry out something which does not comply with his own will at all, then proof is given through this that another power makes use of the will of man to express itself.
Every thought is spiritual power, it therefore can be requested, received and passed on – and this could be used on earth from man to man still far more when love would indwell men and an abuse of this power would be eliminated through a certain spiritual state of maturity. But where this power is used in spiritual maturity, the thought life of a fellow man can be strongly influenced already on earth. Recognizing this, great attention has to be paid to thought-transference, because this is proof of the effect of a power which one would like to deny, humanly or earthly seen.
Spiritual influencing. Direct connection. Thought-transference.
To have an effect on the thinking of men requires great love and patience on the part of the spiritual beings entrusted with this. The further men stand from spiritual problems the quicker they also reject suddenly appearing thoughts, which are the expression of those spirit powers, and hastily turn again to such thoughts, which relate more to their earthly life. Consequently the spiritual power has little influence on such men. It is their duty to only work on the spiritual sphere, to just transfer sheer spiritual thoughts and teachings to men, and precisely these meet with certain opposition in most cases. And hence this office must be carried out with greatest love and patience, if any success is to become evident. A spiritual being cannot always express itself in direct contact from the hereafter to earth and for that reason is also only rarely heard consciously. But thought-transference is far more difficult to be carried out, because man often defends himself, because he just rejects a spiritual instruction, as long as he does not deal with it consciously.
Mental influence through jointly responsible spirit beings. Enlightenment through high-ranking beings.
In visible earth nearness are those spirit beings active whose assignment it is to give knowledge to men about the continues remodelling of all that what enlivens the surface of the earth. This assignment is only possible in the form of thought-transference, and so their work will mostly extent to make the different products of creation quite vividly clear to men so that they start to become reflective through these and ask questions, whose answering is exactly the activity of those spirit beings and is therefore imparted to men by the spirit beings in form of thoughts.
Question – Answer. Mental activity spiritual work.
All such thoughts, which touch problems, which often occupy man, are insinuations of beings in the hereafter, which cannot announce themselves differently than precisely in the form of thought-transference.
Thought-transference. Work of light beings.
The powers opposed to God influence the thinking of men, who live their life without God – who neither recognize God nor are active out of themselves in love – who neither seek God nor have the desire for spiritual knowledge – who therefore only belong to earth, i.e. are filled with pure material thoughts. To them it will also be given according to their desire; they will be monopolized by those powers, which are also far from God, and their thoughts are so directed that they deviate more and more from God and cause men to increased lack of love, as also to increased desire of earthly goods. It is this comprehensible, since the opponent of God strives to win the spiritual for himself, and in this he only then succeeds, when man strive for the same, namely matter, which still holds in it things far from God. The thought material of those people will therefore be exclusively of earthly content, because as soon as something else is brought close to them, the bad spiritual powers are particularly active, by them seeking to present the uselessness earthly-like.
Wrong thinking. Work of the opposite pole of God.
And this is significant, because only the course through earth life can cancel the separation from God, and only the time of the embodiment as man can earn the being the conscious coming together with God. And particularly for that reason it is also significant, to which things the thought of man turns in the earth time and to which powers access is granted. Thought-transference is that weapon, with which the spiritual wages the war. Light and darkness seek to transmit power onto men in the same way, precisely in the form of thoughts, and both powers are successful according to the will of man, according to his kind of nature and his attitude to God.
Thought-transference through the light beings can therefore take place without resistance, without obstacles; the thinking of man moves in truth and never ever needs to be doubted. But the same receptivity is characteristic of those men, who through their God-farness turn to the opposite pole of God. They can receive the radiations of the bad spiritual powers exactly the same way, because they open themselves for it through the desire for worldly things, which are share of him, from whom man is to turn away.
Redeeming activity depends on God-equal will.
In the hereafter the activity of the spiritual is also meant to the spreading of truth, only that this activity is a mental instruction, therefore a pure spiritual activity is to be understood by this. This thought-transference must therefore agree with the will of God, because the being in the hereafter can carry out nothing else but the will of God, when it itself is connected with God. The beings in the hereafter, which are far from God, therefore are still completely rebellious to him, certainly also influence the thoughts of men, but never in spiritual respect, but they cause them to earthly, i.e. material thinking and never direct their thoughts to God, but away from him. Therefore this thought influencing can be called no spiritual activity, although the wrong thinking also emerges from beings, which no longer belong to earth. But their will does not go equal to the will of God, and their power is only small, so that they only have influence on those men, who likewise go against the will of God.
Activity of the beings in the hereafter. Transference of knowledge.
The state of darkness is therefore a state of ignorance, which terribly depresses the being, so that the being full of light takes pity on this and would like to help the being of darkness. Man on earth active in love alleviates the trouble of fellowmen with earthly gifts; in the hereafter such are no longer possible; and therefore only spiritual gifts can be offered to the being, which is in trouble, which suffers through the lack of knowledge. Therefore just a spiritual transference can take place, and this is the activity of the beings in the hereafter, that they seek to increase the thought material of the beings lacking light and direct it in such paths, that this thought material is in accordance with truth. And this can only happen through perpetual instructing, through a transferring of that, what gives pleasure to the giving being itself – through a passing on of divine power to the completely powerless beings, which require power.
Thought-transference from the kingdom of light to Earth.
Through thought-transference from the kingdom of light to Earth an extraordinary knowledge can be imparted to man in a way, which does not seem supernatural at all. And men also do not object to it because they regard the thought material as won by themselves. And still the beings out of the spiritual kingdom are active; otherwise man would be completely without thoughts – not including the pure earthly thoughts, which are merely functions of bodily organs.
Just as men on Earth exchange their thoughts mutually, so also the beings on the other side seek to express themselves, and they can this only mentally, because thought activity is their actual life.
Therefore also the earthly thoughts are influenced in a certain way by beings on the other side; immediately they are taken up and worked up by the thought organs, while spiritual thoughts are born in the heart, because then light spirit speaks to light spirit – because the spirit in man, the divine spark, receives the expression of the light beings and now directs them from the heart out to the brain, where the will of man places them into his thought material. It is always an exchange of thoughts from the hereafter to Earth, but which beings express themselves, that is determined by man himself through his will.
Explanation of the process of writing.
A pure spiritual event can only unwind pure spiritually; a thought-transference must take place whatever happens because own thinking, i.e. use of intellectual activity requires longer time to bring spiritual results in this form.
Limits of knowledge. Stepping over them.
It concerns spiritual spheres, which for that reason cannot be fathomed by the mind, because they lie outside of human knowledge, and that is why it must also be imparted to men out of the spiritual kingdom. This can only happen through thought-transference, but which first touch the heart before they can be assimilated by the mind.
Supply of the divine word - Good or bad powers.
Spiritual entities cannot express themselves to a man in the form of the inner word, as long as they do not have the assignment from me and the power and the light, which is needed for it. Immature entities can certainly have an effect on the thoughts of a man, as long as he makes himself receptive for such thought-transferences through God-adverse way of life. These beings can likewise seize the will of a man, who voluntarily gives himself to them intentionally, to get into contact with the spiritual kingdom. But those beings are never allowed at instructions out of the spiritual kingdom, which are to be assessed as divine transmissions.
Explanation why the thinking of men is so different.
This fight about the will of man can therefore only be waged through thought-transference out of the dark world, since all power has otherwise been taken from the opponent; but man – when he just lets his intellect rule, does not fight against it – what he certainly could, would he be aware of it, how he can direct his intellect, but does not have to. Because he can subordinate it at any time to my will, then he will be protected from thinking wrongly, and his thinking will be right.
And the more intimately the will devotes itself to me, the clearer will be thoughts he has, which are then always in accordance with truth, and he can make no mistake.
