SERIOUS ADMONITION - MATERIALISTIC OUTLOOK

You people have directed your eyes towards the world; you lust only for earthly treasures and search to satisfy the appetites of your body. You move only in spheres were matter reigns and everything spiritual is silenced. But your body is only the cover of what will remain after your bodily death; your body is only for a short time the habitat for your soul, and the soul is that which should reach maturity through the life on Earth, but which you let starve by your materialistic point of view, and therefore it enters into the spiritual kingdom in a miserable condition.

The material world is the realm of the banned spiritual in which you as humans indeed live, but which is your last station before the entrance into the spiritual world. As long as the spirit of the world is still so strong in yourself that you desire solely material goods…. that you work and act only for this earthly world, as long are you slaves of the matter, while you as master of the matter should conquer it. All your Life-Force you spend only to strengthen the realm of GOD' s opponent, if you strive for the world and its goods.

But you should use the Life-force to gather spiritual goods, acquire treasures for the Eternity - you should separate yourself from goods that are transient because they will once be taken away from you, for you cannot take them over into Eternity. You should use your Life-force rightly and acquire imperishable goods, with which you can work in the spiritual kingdom, what means riches that will make you truly happy.

You are more than all the material Creations, because these have been only created for you, so that they serve for your perfection. But you people misunderstand their value; you strive for the world instead of recognizing it as a hindrance to your spiritual development. You serve the matter instead that it is serving you; you let yourself be dominated by it, and become slaves of the matter.

And that means that you prepare death for the soul within you, so that a dense cover surrounds it when it enters into the kingdom of the beyond. No ray of light can break through its cover and therefore the soul suffers unspeakably until the hull is disintegrated, which can take Eternities -should not the cover harden to such an extend that no hope exists any longer for the soul to shed it.

You people do not know how you maltreat your soul if you are earthly materialistically orientated by your striving always after worldly goods. Recognize the transience of everything that surrounds you, and remember what is everlasting. Do not live your life on Earth in vain, because it has been only given to you to bring the soul - the spiritual in you - to maturity, that can only make use of spiritual nourishment to develop, in order to be able to leave the body without a cover when your hour has come. Bear in mind your soul, and direct your senses spiritually, because the soul endures but all earthly perishes.

AMEN
