Spiritual order

Progressing in a loving manner. Although we cannot avoid going the way of Life, the single steps cannot be humanly enforced. Any pushing and pulling is useless. The Kingdom of Heaven cannot be taken by force. Spiritual order translates itself to the human level in the form of patient steps. Every step has to mature within us and this requires time. Only in this manner can the way of Life lovingly unfold. First of all, the unfoldment of the human self is important. "But the human self must be evangelized. This task God demands us to accept lovingly today, and to abandon so fast as practical the material, and to work out the spiritual which determines the outward and actual." (254: 19)
