Jakob Lorber – The Great Gospel of John, vol. 5, part B
[GGJ.05_153,05] Thus in the sky the real sunlight is resplendent in great
majesty as the perfect truth. The Earth and everything on it is a work of its
light or the shine, thus already more shine than being. Behind the seemingly
existence of the whole earth and of all the things there is the shadow as a
complete lie; and it is exactly this shade that all travelers seek and love the
most and the sleep among the general shadow of the earth that we tend to
call ‗night‘, is and remains after the work and effort of the day the greatest,
most strengthening and most pleasant revitalization of life!
[GGJ.05_153,06] And therefore it also seems to me that the people can exist
under the rule of the possibly purest truth just as little, taken morally, as their
physical being can without sleep. Therefore what sleep is o the body is a
well-conditioned lie to the whole moral person. And then it certainly does not
depend on whatever sort of form a lie is supposed to have! If it only gives the
moral person a certain feeling and very refreshing rest of hope and a halfilluminated
and easily acceptable confidence, then the lie is good, and the
purest truth can go to her begging for its bread.
[GGJ.05_153,07] For as long as people have been living on this Earth this
has been so; now it is also that way and will also so until a possible end of all
time. The people will continue to seek the truth but at the same time eat from
the dish of lies and live. There will always be wise men too among the very
many foolish people who will hold out a light of truth to the people. But the
brighter they illuminate the people always only on one side the more certain
and pronounced the shade will be perceived behind the people who have
been illuminated most brightly from the front as a constant consequence of
the light!
[GGJ.05_153,08] But as the light also always affects the shade, in just the
same way the purest truth also always affects the most complete lie. For
without truth there would be no lie and without a lie there would not easily be
a truth. But every truth hides at least the capability in it to create a lie, just as
the light creates a shadow. Every person should ask himself which of the two
is the better for the people, but faithfully and openly without concealing
anything! A just judge sentences liars and deceivers according to the law and
lives from his position; but where is he who can make things generally
understandable for me, that the law itself is a truth? It is an accepted and
sanctioned statute, here one way, but different in another place! Where is the
truth there where one lie punishes the other? I say again here: Sapienti
pauca!‖
[GGJ.05_153,09] With this Cyrenius had had enough for the meantime, and
let the Pharisee retreat and said to Me, ―No, did You hear that? Such a thing
has never happened to me! Roklus also understood how to speak in his
purely intelligent sphere; but I still remained his master in my innards. But this
Pharisee has now fenced me in so much that I cannot say anything at all to
