2. Fruitful and unfruitful Reading… The necessary Preparation of the Hearts Soil Introduction Continuation… Objection to the good Rule and its Refutation Revelations with extensive explanations and interpretations of many important Bible passages by Jesus Himself, which have been difficult to interpret up until now. An important book, especially for those who compare the new revelations with the Bible, to check, if they correspond spiritually and for those who want to understand the bible scriptures better. Thus says the Lord: 2. “Just consider the vast amount of material provided in the Holy Scriptures of both the Old and New Testaments, and alongside that, the enormous volume of truly spiritual-exegetical (explanatory) books! If one were to read all of that only to the extent that one can put it into practice, truly, one would hardly manage to get through more than a few chapters in one’s entire lifetime, at best!” 3. But I say: From this point of view, the objector is certainly correct; for if one were to read only as much, and no more, than one is thoroughly convinced one can actually put into practice, then even a few chapters would indeed be too many! But viewed from another perspective, there is never too much of the material provided, and the reader can immediately put everything he has read into practice! 4. For one might also say, for example: If a farmer owns a large plot of fertile land that yields a hundredfold harvest, why does he sow the entire field?! A tenth of it yields enough to meet the farmer’s needs! 5. But I ask: If this farmer sows the entire field with good grain and the field yields a hundredfold harvest, of which one-tenth is sufficient for his sustenance, will the surplus nine-tenths be a burden to him? Oh, certainly not! For he can distribute half of the surplus to the needy, who will be exceedingly grateful to him, and he can bring the other half of the surplus to market; and since it is good grain, he will find many buyers who will purchase it from him at favorable prices, and he can then use the money earned to manage his other household affairs and thereby become a prosperous and wealthy farmer. 6. Now look, this example clearly shows that if someone has good soil and plenty of good seed, he should not be stingy when sowing! For whoever sows generously will also reap generously; but whoever sows sparingly will reap sparingly! And what does it take? Once the soil of the field has been well tilled, you may sow as much good seed as you like upon it, and yet not a single seed will perish in the good soil; rather, every seed will sprout a bountiful stalk! 7. So it is in this matter as well, concerning the spiritual sowing of the Word through reading! 8. To cultivate the spiritual soil, one requires nothing more than the two commandments of love; with these, he can easily cultivate his spiritual field. Once this soil has been tilled, everyone can sow as much into it as they are able and willing; or they can read as much of the good material provided as they can obtain in a reasonable amount, the entire Holy Scripture and all the explanations pertaining to it, and they will absorb nothing from all of it that will not yield them a bountiful harvest. 9. For the difference between fruitless and fruitful reading lies in this: 10. If, for example, someone wishes to cultivate and awaken himself through reading alone, this endeavor is just like someone attempting to sow seed in an uncultivated field that has been neither fertilized nor plowed. Will not the birds swoop down from the sky at once and devour most of it in short order?! And will not the small portion that fell among the weeds of the field be choked by them, so that, in the end, during harvest time, not a single grain will be seen to have sprouted into a stalk anywhere?! 11. However, should the sower or the reaper behold no harvest from his labor, will he not become disheartened and finally curse the field and all the seed that was sown upon it, having yielded him no harvest?! 12. To put it plainly: Such people then become unbelievers, they fall away from the good cause entirely, and ultimately they will regard it as nothing but pure deception. 13. Yet it is quite different when someone has previously, through true love for Me and for his neighbor, invigorated his spirit, or rather, set it free out of Me, and thereby properly fertilized and plowed his field; he then does not read the Scriptures of My grace and mercy so that they may first prepare him to become good soil, rather he reads them in order to behold Me continually, the One who has awakened the spirit within him through his love for Me. And perhaps he thereby seeks to grow ever more in his love for Me and, as a result, for his neighbor as well. 14. In this case, will he not find every word of Mine to be alive and eternally true, if he is already alive within himself?! But if he is not already alive within himself, will not even the most living word be repressed within him?! 15. Throw pieces of gold into a stinking puddle, and the coarse, sulfurous salt of the puddle will dissolve the pieces of gold and transform them into the filthy mud as well; but if, on the contrary, you throw base metals into a genuine gold tincture, they will all eventually become like the noble gold! 16. Behold, this is precisely the case here as well! By reading My Word, just as by listening to it, every man may gain an immeasurable benefit for himself and his brothers, provided he has first transformed himself into a gold tincture by observing the two laws; but if he is still a puddle, then no matter how many gold pieces are thrown into it, they will certainly not turn the puddle into a gold tincture. 17. For it is written: “To the one who has, more will be given, so that he may have an abundance; but the one who does not have will lose even what he has!” (Matthew 13:12) “To have” here means: To be in possession of a good, fertilized, and plowed field, or to be within oneself a perfect vessel, full of the genuine, true gold tincture, which is a free, living spirit. “Not having,” however, means scattering seed upon an uncultivated field, whereby the sower not only will have no harvest to expect, but also loses the seed he has scattered; or it means this: To be within oneself a puddle containing coarse sulfur salt, which not only can never be transformed into a gold tincture by the gold thrown into it, but on top of that, the gold that was thrown in is entirely lost. 18. I think this should be pretty clear now, though anyone who still cannot see the truth by the light of this torch will likely never be freed from the blindness! However, since, as I have said before, the blind man can never have too much light, I will, towards the conclusion of the gift of this sun, concentrate the light of all central suns into a single point, so that in this most intense of lights it may become all the clearer who is, in earnest, completely blind! – Therefore, more of these recollections soon! |
