custom, both the man and the woman waste their best strength in their often daily secretion of life’s juices which are most refined and most closely related to the soul. There are thus no reserves which could be stored to ensure that an ever more intense light would finally build up in the soul!

This behaviour causes them to become more and more lethargic and polyp-like hedonistic beings. They are seldom capable of clear thinking and are fearful, cowardly, very materialistic, moody, capricious, selfish, envious and jealous. They only understand any spiritual matter with difficulty or not at all as their minds always drift away to the attractions of stinking flesh and they are incapable of lifting themselves to any higher spiritual level. If here and there are a few among them, who, at least during moments when the lustful thoughts of the flesh are not occupying their minds, might glance briefly upwards, then there immediately appear, like a black cloud in the sky, new sensuous thoughts to blanket the higher ground to such an extent that the soul simply forgets about it and immediately plunges back into the stinking pool of carnal desire!

... It must therefore be said to you in all truth that pimps and whores, adulterers and adulteresses and other immoral degenerates of all kinds and of both sexes will with great difficulty or not at all find a way to enter My kingdom!

If you think in your hearts that this is a little too harsh, then you should try to reform one of these men who are obsessed by the flesh! Start by drawing his attention to God’s commandments and say to him: ‘Peace be with you, the kingdom of God is nigh! Abandon your life of vice, love God above all things and your neighbour as yourself! Search for the truth and seek out the kingdom of God in the recesses of your heart. Abandon the world and its materiality, and try to bring your spirit to life within your being! Pray, search and act in accordance with God’s ordinances!’ You will have directed these words to completely deaf ears! He will laugh at you, turn his back on you and say to you: ‘Just go away, you pious fool, do not irritate me with your stupidity, otherwise you will force me to hit you in the face!’

Tell Me what else would you do to a debauched fiend like that provided you had no governmental power available to you?! If you admonish him for a second time, you can expect him to be even more offensive than the first time! What then? -

Therefore a fornicator is not just a sensuous scapegoat - in his agitated state he is also an evil person full of wild fury as well as blind and deaf to everything that is good and true in the spirit. You will more easily convert a robber than a real fornicator and adulterer.”

(The Lord:) “Now, as lechery and fornication have taken root as a true pestilence afflicting people’s souls, that’s the end of preaching the gospel! How could one preach to deaf ears and show symbols to blind eyes? However where truth is not preached and can no longer be preached, there is no other way to strengthen and free the soul and enlighten it completely. The soul only can become active, full of love and also of light by means of the truth because there is no other source for light to diffuse the soul. It is only the light of truth from the soul that can shape the sphere of influence of external life!

Where therefore lechery and fornication are deeply rooted in a nation, the people have no sphere of influence in their lives. They are sluggish, cowardly and indifferent and can not take pleasure in anything that will make them joyful or blissful. They no longer delight in a beauty or shape. Their character is based on the mute, animal desires which are driven by the flesh and they either have very little or no sense at all for anything else!

Therefore take care above all that this vice does not take hold of you and married couples should only do as much as is absolutely necessary for procreation!

A man who disturbs his wife during her pregnancy will spoil the fruit already in her womb and implants in it the spirit of licentiousness, as the same spirit which urges and incites a couple to sleep together more than is the norm, is then transmitted to the fruit in an even stronger degree.

Therefore this point must also very carefully be considered so that the act of procreation is not an expression of mutual lechery, but is driven by true love and affinity of two souls. Secondly, a woman who has conceived should not be touched but left undisturbed for at least seven weeks after having given birth!

Children who have been conceived in the correct way and have matured in their mother’s womb undisturbed, will firstly come into this world with their souls more perfected, because the soul in a perfectly developed organism can certainly much more easily care for its spiritual progress if it is not housed in a spoiled organism requiring continuously repair-work and patching. Secondly the soul itself is purer and brighter and has not been made impure by the lustful, lecherous spirits, which have often made a daily imprint on the embryo’s flesh and its soul in their repetitive activities after conception.

How easy is it for such a soul, in its most tender childhood years, to raise its mind to God. It is just as Samuel did it out of truly childlike, completely innocent love! And what marvellous basic primordial images will in this way be lightly and brightly engraved in the true depths of the heart by the young, tender brain before there is any evidence of materiality. The child will then use this light to explain to itself the correct meaning and true relationship of the later images which come to him from the material world because these pictures are so to speak implanted on a brightly illuminated background which is true to life. They are dissected into their individual components and are so very well illuminated that they can easily be inspected and understood by the soul.

With these children an external sphere of influence in life already starts to develop in their early years and soon they easily become clairvoyant while at the same time everything in My order of life becomes submissive to their will. What are the children already spoiled in the mother’s womb by comparison? I say this to you: They are scarcely more than apparently animated silhouettes of life! What is the main reason for that? It is, as I have amply demonstrated, only the consequence of lechery!

Wherever My word will be preached by you in the future, this lesson must not be omitted, since it tills the earth and the ground of life and cleanses of all thorns and thickets and thistles, from which no man has ever harvested grapes or figs. Once the ground and earth has been purified, it is a simple task to scatter the noble seed of life into the furrows which have been illuminated by the light of the mind and its life warmed by the flame of love. Not one grain will fall to earth without germinating immediately and quickly unfolding to bear a sumptuous fruit of life! However on wild, uncultivated ground, you can sow whatever you will but you will never reap a good harvest!

Excerpt from The Great Gospel of John (Jakob Lorber) Vol. 4, Chapter 130-131.
