children in your religion! Should one then also avoid as far as possible every
pictorial imagination of something that is to be taught to them?‖
[GGJ.05_134, 03] I say, ―In any case, for pictorial representations get stuck
nowhere as firmly as in the minds of children and are then later very difficult
to be totally removed from them!
[GGJ.05_134, 04] Teach them firstly only to read, write and arithmetic
mechanically; then reveal to them the form of the Earth and show them at the
same time the true reason everywhere, in as far as this is appropriate for
them and in as far as they are capable of understanding it! Enrich them with
all sorts of useful knowledge and allow them to make their own small
experiences, and enthuse to them about everything that is good and true.
[GGJ.05_134, 05] And believe Me that the children understand the good and
the true much earlier than all the often senseless and wide-spread teasing,
from which they should then themselves decipher some profound truths,
which tires them and in the end must make them inactive! In any case you
will see and recognize all that is to be done in the brightest light when My
spirit within you leads you into all truth! If any of you still has any questions,
then ask; for the coming day of My onward journey draws near, and Mark is
beginning to take care of the morning meal!‖
[GGJ.05_134,06] Roklus says, ―Lord and Master of eternity! I now know,
speaking quite as honestly now as I ever can, may, or will, truly of nothing
more which could be put together as a question for You; for now everything is
clear that the way has become clear. Certainly I could ask for countless other
things that are still an impenetrable riddle for me; but I now know from Your
prophecy that that will all become clear to me, and so any further questioning
would be a truly empty threshing of straw!
[GGJ.05_134,07] The greatest thing is now hat the way that we have to take
is fully clear to us, in order to reach the long desired rule over ourselves. If
we have this, then we have everything; but if we do not have this, then even
that partial knowledge I of little or no use to us. I for my part really do not
know what else I could still ask! But I do not want to say or advise someone
else that he should not now ask anything more!
[GGJ.05_134,08]But I thank you, oh Lord, for this extremely great light, which
You have now mercifully allowed to shine upon me; to You from now on be
all my love and all honor! I now will step back to my companions with Your
best permission and will discuss with them very much how we will now
regenerate our institute in Your name. For all the present things must be
thrown out and Your word brought in effectively!‖
[GGJ.05_134,09] At this Roklus wanted to go; but I said to him, ―Remain a
while; for I have a few other things to discuss with you!‖
