Jakob Lorber – The Great Gospel of John, vol. 5, part B
[GGJ.05_232,09] And now we are back to our example king, whose soul has
made such a journey that I have just described to you in detail. The soul of a
previous king of antiquity, who did his terrible deeds in furthest Asia, which
has returned to this world, now comes to quite a different part of the world in
the usual fleshly manner in a child‘s body, naturally born to some poor
woman. Then such a soul is a child again and knows not the least about its
previous condition, and it would be highly wrong if it had even the slightest
memory of that.
[GGJ.05_232,10] The child, once again of the male gender, now grows in
poverty to a man and becomes a very honest and competent worker in any
domestic or agricultural work after poor upbringing and other education,
recognizes God and prays to Him and thanks Him for his daily bread. In the
end he finds a true desire to serve other people for a paltry reward and to be
useful. In the end our worker becomes old, weak, miserable and ill, and dies
like all people on Earth.
[GGJ.05_232,11] What happens now with his soul? It comes once again to
the very good, working and active souls and has its joy to stand low and to
serve everyone according to need. Such a good direction of the mind causes
the soon awakening of its spirit from God, which is its other-worldly alter ego
(second self).
[GGJ.05_232,12] If that is the certain case, the full union with him will not be
waited for long. Once this has happened, the full consciousness comes back
to such a soul and with it the clear memory of all its previous states, and it
praises God‘s wisdom, power and love, which even in the most pitiful
circumstances has led him back to the true eternal life.
[GGJ.05_232,13] But from this you can now see clearly enough how God is
able to lead every soul that seems to you quite base back to true life and light
on His path that is not investigable for any mortal.‖
Chapter 233
[GGJ.05_233,01] (The Lord) ―God, as the purest love in Himself, cannot do
otherwise than to love His thoughts and ideas, even if they make up His
counter-pole as creatures. And so even a stone cannot eternally remain a
stone, and in an unthinkable number of years for you even this Earth, as all
the countless other stars, become very old and soft like an old dress. And
then everything will be transformed into independent spiritual things that are
related to God, but for that new material creations will come forth and will,
each in his own way, be led and developed.
