EARTHLY TASK - DECISION OF WILL - WRONG ENDEAVOUR

You were obliged to walk a troublesome way before you reached the point of passing the last will-trial. Your soul has gathered itself together again, that once was dissolved in countless soul sparks, which all in a bound state had to pass a process of maturing. You reached again the state of Self-awareness, and as individual beings you are free to make a decision; to choose that master to whom you want to belong.

This decision is the purpose and the goal of your life on Earth, and it must be made in free-will. Nobody can take your place in that decision, and without fail the choice must have been made at the end of your Earth-life, because corresponding to it is your fate in Eternity.

Your attitude to your Earth-life-task is immensely important. It can bring you Light and Bliss, but also death and ruin, and you atone decide it through your will. The belief in it cannot be reached by you through compulsion, and therefore it is so rarely found among mankind. Very seldom do men reach the goal of having decided for the right master.

But the disbelief has its consequences. People forget more and more their task on Earth, and every thought is only for the world, regardless of the fact that they have to leave it shortly. They turn again their visage to what lies behind them. The memory of their passion-way through matter is taken away from them, because they have to make their decision in freedom of the will, and should not decide for the right master out of fear.

And the danger exists that their decision turns out to be to their detriment, that they strive with all their senses for the matter, and choose therefore the master of the world, the one to whom they are once again victims, and whom they have to thank for their being banned again into hard matter, due to their wrong decision.

They should look heaven-ward; they should strive for the height and turn their back to the earthly world. Then the right choice was made; then the walk through the whole Creation was successful; then the Earth-life has brought the crowning to the being; then the soul has found the right Master and rushes toward HIM.

Then man has passed the will-trial on Earth and can take off the heavy Earth-body and enter as rich spirit into Eternity. Then the long pilgrimage on Earth has not been in vain. The being has found its way back to its source; it has recognized the Father and has surrendered itself to HIM for all Eternity.

AMEN
