Jakob Lorber – The Great Gospel of John, vol. 5, part B
sensitive gums spits out again immediately as soon as they have only
touched it. But what does one do? One surrounds the bitter medicine with
something sweet and pleasant, and the patient will then easily swallow it and
without getting a fever in their stomach, when they will soon begin their
healing effect! And that, I believe, should also be the same with the
spreaders of the truth! We should give them never, particularly at the
beginning, any other way than hidden and reveal it little by little! Then in my
opinion the best effect will never be lacking. But if you give it immediately
quite uncovered and naked, you will very often and most of all cause more
damage than any true use.
[GGJ.05_138,08] I do not want to say any word for the extenuation of our
natural miracles and am myself of the perfectly convinced opinion that we
have risked too far; but I can always add with my best conscience that we
ourselves have never harmed anyone with this, but instead, according to our
well-considered knowledge normally doubly done good. Firstly we have often
dried the tears of very sad parents with it, which certainly is and cannot be
something bad, and secondly we have provided the children of very terribly
poor parents in the best way for the whole time of their life on Earth and set
them on a point so that they received in the houses of rich people the better
traditions according to the present world order also a better education, while
they otherwise would have been in the greatest poverty without any
education grown to human-like animals, as in this time there is truly no lack
of examples. No angel rises from the lit heavens and takes such poor half
animal like people and teaches them; and if we obviously do something to
better and educated people according to our best knowledge, recognition and
conscience in a possible way and method, we run the risk of sinning before
God and being declared as a fraudster of the people before Him!
[GGJ.05_138,09] Lord and Master, You can easily teach and speak, for Your
will is the director of the whole of eternity! But we weak people, we nothings
in comparison with You, feel only always the pressure, but seldom or never
relief, and have on top of this the very sharpest expectation of that day on the
other side.
[GGJ.05_138,10] Lord and Master, truly, Your teaching has quite
straightened me up, and I was full of the most blessed expectations; but now
I have been quite thrashed down and do not know how to help myself
because You demand things from me for whose fulfillment I with my common
sense do not know what to do , and I cannot act against my common sense!‖
