BD 5087 18.3.1951

World only means to an end .... Overcoming matter ....

The world will never give you fulfilment, for in the end it will take everything you possess of earthly goods away from you. The world only considers your carnal body but not your soul, and since the carnal body perishes, the soul stands poor and bare at the gate to eternity if it has not created spiritual possessions for itself on earth. The world only seems to give you, but in reality it takes away your right to eternal life .... You are indeed in the midst of the world, it has been given to you as a place to stay, so to speak, and the soul had to agree to spend a probationary period in this world.

And it can also successfully pass this probationary period if the human being only regards the earthly world as a means to an end, as a means of testing, if he does not let it become master over him but always remains its master, if he does not make himself a slave to what surrounds him but always strives to overcome earthly matter in view of his earthly task, if he certainly uses it where it is at his disposal but in a God-ordained sense by helping matter itself to redemption .... if he regards everything earthly-material as what it really is .... bound spiritual substance which also takes the path oFueredemption and is grateful for every opportunity to be of service.

Then matter will never become master over the human being, then he will seek something for himself which is more desirable to him because it cannot pass away. Then he will supply the soul with goods which signify true wealth and remain with it even after the discarding of the body of flesh. In this realisation the human being does not regard matter as the fulfilment of his desire, it is only a necessary means for him to successfully cover the earthly path, and thus the world with all its incentives and temptations also loses its value for him. He knows that they are only pseudo-goods and at the same time a strong danger of losing the imperishable goods as well.

Therefore you should not love the world, for this love will only result in the loss of eternal life; you should learn to recognise it for what it is, as the realm of God's adversary, as a concentration of immature spiritual substances which would like to draw the already more mature spiritual substances down to themselves again. You should learn to recognise it as deceptive light in order not to let your souls recognise the true light; you should know that the world will pass away one day and that you therefore have to strive for that which is imperishable.

Then the earthly world shall lose all danger for you, on the contrary, you yourselves will be able to contribute a great deal to helping earthly matter to ascend by creating opportunities for it to serve, that is by giving material things their purpose by creating useful objects so that the spiritual in them will serve and thereby ascend. Seek to guide everything to its purpose and, in doing so, first and foremost remember your own soul so that it frees itself from earthly desires in the midst of the world, so that it learns to recognise the spiritual kingdom as its starting point and strives towards it again with the serious will to achieve reunion with God, which is the purpose and goal of earthly life ....

Amen
