ABOUT HOW TO PRAY. ABOUT THE ESSENCE OF GOD AND OF LIFE
Thereupon they all rushed to Abedam, aglow with ardent love; and He embraced them all, blessed them and, pressing them to His heart, said to all those standing around: "Children, look here all of you who are present: Just as Adam and the Garthilli family are now at My bosom breathing eternal life in the spirit of their great love and immense humility, in the same manner as Enoch, Jared, Lamech, Seth, Methuselah, Enos, Kenan, Mahalaleel, Abedam the Known, Sethlahem, Kisehel and his brothers, Jura, Bhusin, Ohorion, Zuriel, Uranion, Gabiel and his brothers Lamel and Hored, together with their wives, infants and children, thus all shall breathe life eternal in the spirit of love for Me and of all truth out of it!
2
"For verily, I tell all of you: There is none who is not called by Me. Yet I tell all of you again: In the future, none of those called will come to My bosom unless he will come of his own accord in all love and humility and will then in his heart bear witness before Me that I am his Father!
3
"Verily, I tell all of you: Whoever will not acknowledge Me through the heart as his Father - meaning, the sole, true Father -, will not come to My bosom!
4
"But when you call: 'Abba!' call it in your heart, in humility, love and in all truth out of it, and I will listen to you.
5
"However, which of you children will at all times call: 'Lord, Lord, God of all justice, God of grace, God of love and all mercy!' although I shall not repudiate him and take his life, - yet it will be very difficult for him to ever reach this spot of the most blissful, freest life.
6
"For God cannot be embraced and, owing to His endless universal holiness the Lord of all Justice cannot ever allow such an approach to Him, but alone the Father, Who in His boundless love for His children comprises everything, enabling and encouraging them all to approach Him completely, and in spirit even indescribably more intimately than you see them do here, so as to enjoy forever at His fatherly heart everything that is the Father's.
7
"Take good heed of all this for all Times of times, that only the Father possesses life and gives life; and the Father alone is the eternal life in God.
8
"God Himself is not the life. He is merely the light of the Father, just as the Father alone is the life in His light. Neither has the Lord the life; but the life is alone the Father's, - for the Lord is only the Father's endless might, which is alone His forever.
9
"Hence, whoever does not turn completely to the Father, will in truth not come to the Father; but he who will not come to the Father, will perceive little of life within him! For there is an endless difference between life and life!
10
"The rock, too, is alive, for it is there; for existence and life are one and the same thing, - because all given life is a perpetual conflict between two forces, one of which aims at destruction, the other at preservation; but neither of them can ever find the desired state of repose - save alone in Me, the Father.
11
"Thus also the rock is alive; but what a, to you, unthinkable difference is there between the life of a rock and the life of a mere mite, - and what a difference compared with the life of a love-perfected, most blissful, freest angel spirit!
12
"Therefore, they will all have a life also in God and in the Lord; but the alone true life in complete self-awareness is only in the Father, and compared to it all other life is a mere death.
13
"Take good heed of it all of you, and turn to the Father if you want to have true life.
14
"You are all called to this My life; thus come to Me all of you, take it from Me and let yourselves be chosen by Me lest it will be said one day: 'Only few have been chosen of those who were called.'
15
"Let all of you grasp this in the depth of your still very cold hearts. Amen."
