Jakob Lorber – The Great Gospel of John, vol. 5, part B
[GGJ.05_181,10] That we now are here, live, think and feel, is already such a
unique incomprehensible game of nature. The winds play with the waves on
the sea, and these bluster, sough und boom as if they wanted to instantly
consume the whole Earth along with its mountains; on their own, the winds
soon die down, and all the power of the waves, however wild, goes away.
Clouds also build up, quite terribly heavy with storms. One should believe
that this will bring the end to the Earth; but only too soon the storm blows
itself out and after it follows the old calm. And so the great games of nature
change. Everything passes away and comes again, only the great nature
remains always the same. Sun, moon, stars and this Earth are always the
same, and the events and their games also.
[GGJ.05_181,11] You see, dear and very respectable friends, you may do
whatever you want and can and likewise speak, write and teach all sorts of
wise things, it is all in vain! Only what I have said in my surely chaste and
most unselfish poverty, is and remains true. For daily experience teaches this
to the people, and this as the most ancient teacher of all creation recognizes
no exceptions at all, since all creation is as unique as these two eyes are my
own as long as I live. All other wise men and prophets had created their
wisdom and their knowledge from their ancestors and wanted to contradict
the old experience; but that is all purely in vain and good for nothing! Down
below they have long since been undone, and nothing has remained of them
but their vainly wise teaching and some of their great deeds. Only weak
spirits who hang on tightly to this life of nothingness can find some pleasure,
yes, at the same time even an empty comfort from such confusion of the
brain.
[GGJ.05_181,12] That now is my opinion in life. If perhaps you have a better
one, then let it out, and I would gladly see whether you are capable of saying
something more true! Yet I know already in advance that you all cannot come
to me with anything more true or appropriate, because there is not and
cannot be anywhere anything of the sort.‖
[GGJ.05_181,13] Peter says secretly to Me, ―Lord, look, he speaks a little like
a Hebrew! Truly, if I had not already had such extraordinary experiences with
You, he would be the first who could make me quite weak!‖
[GGJ.05_181,14] I say, ―Oh, just wait, that is not yet the core by any means;
even more will come! That is why I told you all in advance that you have to
gather yourselves very much in order to bring these people to another
conviction and, which is the main issue, to love for life. John, just continue!‖
[GGJ.05_181,15] At this John says under his breath, ―Lord, put the words in
my mouth; for before You have allowed me to speak alone for some
moments, and I was immediately – who knows where! Indeed I did not say
anything unsuitable, but in short I noticed that I did not remain on track!‖
