DO YOU MOVE WITHIN TRUTH?

The will to gain truth guarantees you success; however, such an earnest will is rarely found!

People accept without misgivings what is presented to them as truth and adjust their thinking accordingly, i.e., in accordance with the knowledge presented, they move either in the light or in the darkness, for the light can give only pure truth, whilst error will always obscure the spirit.

This concerns spiritual, not worldly knowledge: the latter can be strengthened by proofs, but has no influence on the life of the human souls that has to mature during its existence on earth.

Aspire only after pure truth and you are sure to obtain it! However, what is now being offered to you as truth, who can guarantee you that it is really truth?

This you must keep asking yourselves. You must realise that there are numerous intellectual movements that will all advocate their doctrines as the truth; everyone of them teaches something different, but there can be only one truth.

Therefore, you must not believe anyone unhesitatingly, but must turn to the highest authority, ETERNAL TRUTH ITSELF!

He also wants to give light to you, His creatures, because He loves you.

He did not create man in spiritual darkness but neither did He prevent him from tending towards the darkness of his own accord and following the Lord of Darkness, Lucifer, to his realm.

He who gave you life does not want you to remain in darkness! He wants to lead you towards the light, and you can receive it from His hand at any time; He is always willing to enlighten your thinking and clarify for you all the questions that burden your mind, to give you a light on all spiritual meaning and the reason and purpose of your existence.

And if you are taught by ETERNAL TRUTH ITSELF you cannot learn anything else but the purest truth, and you will be convinced and know that you walk in truth. Be assured that truth will be yours if you only desire it earnestly.

This is the foremost condition, for if man recognises God as eternal truth. Thus he opens himself consciously to the shining of the light, he establishes the relationship which is the purpose and fulfilment of the life on earth. This was once broken off voluntarily and the result was the fall into depth, into darkness.

But now man consciously opens his heart to be enlightened by the love of God which also means that his "lightless state" changes into a "state of light" and man attains to a knowledge that until now had been concealed from him.

You can be assured that this process is possible and does take place and that everyone can experience it.

However, not everyone can meet the necessary requirements, in which case the conscious, direct receipt of the truth may be limited, but not the supply of pure truth in an indirect form, everyone who desires truth shall receive it. But everyone can develop himself directly who lives an unselfish life of love for his fellowmen. Thus he awakens the spirit within himself which as a part of God lies dormant in every soul causing unselfishness through love and, being a part of God, the spirit is omniscient and can teach a person "from within".

Do turn to the "Supreme Authority" and do not be satisfied with what men offer you, even if they are convinced that they represent the truth. If truth had gained admission with mankind, there would not be so much darkness on earth.

It is so very obvious that darkness prevails, otherwise there would be on earth a state of harmony and peace, whilst in fact the opposite is the case.

AMEN
