ovde - vera znanje mir

as the intellect cannot grasp anything beyond the earthly conception of time and space, obviously
the man who has completely subjected himself to it cannot do so either. His horizon, that is his
ability to comprehend, became narrow together with the limited ability of the intellect.
The connection with the Ethereal was thus severed, a wall was erected which became dense and
ever denser. Since the Source of Life, the Primordial Light, God, is far above time and space and
still stands far above the Ethereal, naturally every contact must be cut off through the binding of the
intellect. For this reason it is quite impossible for the materialist to recognise God.
The eating from the tree of knowledge was nothing more than the cultivation of the intellect. The
resulting separation from the Ethereal was also the closing of Paradise as a natural consequence.
Mankind locked themselves out by inclining wholly towards the gross material through the
intellect, thus degrading themselves, and voluntarily or of their own choice placing themselves in
bondage.
But where did this lead? The purely materialistic, thus earthbound and inferior thoughts of the
intellect, with all their accompanying manifestations of acquisitiveness, greed, falsehood, robbery,
oppression, sensuality and so on, were bound to bring about the inexorable reciprocal action of
what is homogeneous, which formed everything accordingly, drove men onwards, and will finally
burst over everything with ... annihilation!
A World judgment, which in accordance with the existing Laws of Creation cannot be avoided. As with a
gathering thunderstorm, which must finally burst and bring destruction. But at the same time also
purification!...
But then men will fulfil that which they should fulfil in Creation. They will be the connecting-link, will
through their quality draw from the Spiritual, that is, will let themselves be guided by the purified intuitive
perception, and translate this into the Gross Material, thus into the earthly, to this end using their intellect
and accumulated experiences only as an instrument, in order to carry through these pure intuitive
perceptions in gross material life, taking into account everything earthly, whereby the entire Gross Material
Creation will be continually furthered, purified and uplifted." (Abd-ru-shin, "IN THE LIGHT OF TRUTH:
THE GRAIL MESSAGE", chapter "Man in Creation")
