The spiritual teaching, it is the 'teaching of the prophets' resp. the 'teaching of truth, teaching of the spirit, teaching of life', and to learn and to follow it is important.
To apply the spiritual teaching means to separate the negative and positive forces from each other in one's own consciousness through thoughts and feelings, thereby promoting the positive and bringing it into life, the way of life and the way of living in the right way.
Learning in terms of the spiritual teaching means first and foremost that the unwanted negative is overridden and the positive is developed and enhanced.
In this sense the teaching is shaped to transform consciousness and thoughts and feelings for the better and good.
Just listening to or reading the spiritual teachings can be of great benefit.
There are no physical characteristics in spiritual teaching that would indicate progress in the efforts between the positive and negative forces of consciousness, thoughts and feelings.
Changes can only be recognized by behavior, such as when wrong reactions, thoughts, feelings, emotions and behaviors, such as anger, hatred or jealousy, etc., are first recognized, identified and seen through.
If this is recognized and understood, then the antidote for these wrong forms of behavior must be recognized, and this recognition will be revealed when learning and studying the spiritual teachings.
Wrong behaviors cannot be eliminated easily, however, because they cannot be removed as in a surgical procedure.
The crucial factors of wrong behaviour must first be recognised, after which they can be reduced and finally completely dissolved and thus eradicated, iota by iota, through the practical implementation of the spiritual teaching.
Spiritual teaching is based on creative natural laws and recommendations, which are the true means of freeing oneself from wrong impulses and behaviour by learning and following them.
In this sense, the teaching forms a path that ultimately leads to inner freedom and love as well as to inner harmony and peace.
This creates true joy of life and the realization that life is worth living in every situation, no matter what the situation may be.
And the further the spiritual teaching is penetrated and progressed in it, the weaker become the influences of all unworthy values, such as pride and hatred, anger and wrath, greed and stinginess, inhumanity, dishonour, jealousy, vindictiveness, desire for retribution and all other negative emotions that cause so much suffering in life.
But if the learning in relation to the spiritual teachings and the understanding of them is carried out over months and years in everyday life and everything is practiced, then the whole thing comes into effect, and in this way the consciousness and the thoughts and feelings are gradually transformed.
This is logical, because both consciousness and thoughts and feelings are subject to change through constant learning, even if the usual carelessness gives the impression that it behaves differently.
But if you, man of the earth, compare your present state of consciousness and the forms of your thoughts and feelings with it, if you have trained your consciousness and your thoughts and feelings after some time of learning the spiritual teachings, then you will certainly notice a certain improvement.
And if this is indeed the case, then not only have you learned a good lesson, but you have also become more attentive and able to recognise and judge yourself, which proves your progress and the purpose of your learning is valuable.
The spiritual teachings are millions of years old and were created by the universal prophet Nokodemion, who came back to the material world from the pure spirit plane Arahat Athersata and rejoined the material life.
He created the spiritual teaching to teach people a better, loving, peaceful, harmonious and free way of life according to the creative natural laws and recommendations, which are not in harmony with any imaginary deities, as they are inherent in religions and sects.
The teaching is directed solely at reality and its truth and thus at real life and the countless different interests and dispositions of people.
The very extensive and profound teaching contains and shows the methods and means as well as ways and means which are suitable for people to become true human beings in honour and dignity and to lead their lives according to the creative natural laws and recommendations.
And this logically well-founded doctrine, which originates from the experience of Nokodemion, can be studied and learned by every willing person and can actually be implemented and applied for one's own benefit and that of fellow men.
In the spiritual teachings many values are listed in concentrated form, whereby, in addition to the actual spiritual teachings, many books and writings reveal valuable parts.
It is a fact that from ancient times up to the present day many people have become valuable, honest, dignified, happy and real people through spiritual teaching.
They relied on this very teaching because they recognized from their own knowledge that it was correct, and that they had to direct their consciousness and their thoughts and feelings into the right direction, which they then did of their own free will.
Many people are aware that their wrong impulses and behaviour causes great harm to many people and to themselves, but nevertheless they are subject to wrong thoughts and feelings and to their wrong behaviour again and again.
The untamed consciousness and the thoughts and feelings resulting from it do not last, even when the edge of the abyss is seen and the human being ruthlessly throws himself down as a result of not controlling and not improving.
It is he himself, who maneuvers himself into his cycle of suffering, disadvantage and pain through his wrong impulses and behavior and through the resulting actions etc.
It is the law of causality, the law of the relationship between cause and effect, in which man lives and which stands between his actions and his experiences and thus determines his ups and downs of every kind.
It is he himself, as the guide of his destiny, who determines the power over his negative and positive emotions and behaviour.
So he himself determines his efforts, his desire to learn, his right, wrong or confused way of life, and therefore he determines whether he is burdened by past actions, words or deeds.
And he determines by his desires and desires, by hatred, thirst for revenge, jealousy, greed, anger and wrath, by thirst for revenge, ignorance or other unworthy things, whether he has fallen into bondage and enslavement.
But if he frees himself from it, he conquers the evil and the false negative in himself and becomes able to erase his false impulses and behaviour and can realise his natural purity of consciousness and thoughts and feelings as they were given to him at birth, but which he has spoiled over time.
When the purity of consciousness and of thoughts and feelings is restored, then true love, freedom and harmony and peace come into being, whereby a true, real and joyful cycle of life begins.
When man makes an effort to take up a serious practice of spiritual teaching, he becomes able to determine his own conscious development and not to let it be determined by false influences of religions, sects and an inadequate society.
For every human being his present life is very precious, and no one can predict it.
Nevertheless, everyone can largely determine his or her own path and lifestyle, but this requires that life be practiced and lived in the way that is truly appropriate, and this must be done while the opportunity is there.
This means, however, that it is necessary to learn, recognize and understand that nothing of value is disregarded, but that everything is grasped and evaluated for the best, just like spiritual teaching.
This is also important because no one knows how long this opportunity for learning will last before life comes to a quick or slow end.
Whatever is done quickly or slowly today, tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, or in the time to come, has consequences for the future in any case, in accordance with the law of cause and effect.
The whole future is determined by the present and constantly changing state of consciousness as well as by thoughts, feelings, actions and deeds. For the majority of people, the state of consciousness is overgrown with burdensome delusions such as aberrations and excitements, coverings, desires as well as numbness, enchantment, fanaticism, hatred, jealousy, greed, prejudice and other unworthiness.
So man must strive to become free from these evils and reach a balanced neutral-positive state of consciousness.
If this is not possible immediately, because reaching this state requires a very arduous path to follow, then an attempt should be made over a longer period of time to alleviate the burden.
If this is not possible, then professional help should be sought, the closest being that of the study of spiritual science.
Through this study the essential help is given to plant a good seed for life and to fight against and free oneself from the wrong reactions and behaviours.
And for this purpose, always and at all times the present time is the right and promising time to become free from the reactionary and behavioural handicaps by learning, receiving and applying the teaching.
This opportunity must not be wasted and must be used to bring about self-liberation from all delusions about wrong reactions and behaviour, which are truly suffering, often causing great psychological pain and also much harm.
But the self-liberation from this is only a part of the search for a good and true life without suffering and pain.
The fact is that no rational person wants the slightest suffering, but everyone always wants only love and happiness, peace, freedom and harmony, health and integrity.
Only the unreasonable seek the opposite, because their state of consciousness and also their psyche are confused and sick.
But every rational and consciously and mentally healthy person strives by nature for happiness and freedom from harm, suffering and pain, and all people have the same right to this.
But just knowing this is not enough, because everything possible must also be done to make this right a reality.
In doing so, man must first and foremost think of himself and realize himself in the aforementioned relationship, because he is his neighbor.
And only when he has realized himself in the mentioned way, the time will come when he, apart from his own liberation, which limits him to himself, no longer has to work only on himself, but can also turn helpfully to his fellow men.
This requires, however, that a basic motivation is created which makes people capable of helping others.
However, in order to be able to do this, a state of knowledge and the ability to benefit every human being and every form of life in general must be achieved.
If a person's present state of consciousness is poor and his good and valuable abilities are limited, then he can neither help others nor fulfil their wishes.
Truly it is not done with that, and it is not enough to simply have the desire to help your fellow human beings.
Fundamentally, the creative natural law applies here that man must first be able to help himself, which is only possible if he forms and lives all his reactions, behaviours, thoughts, feelings, actions and deeds in a specially correct way and thus becomes a true human being.
Only by this he attains the value of the necessary ability to perceive the different aspirations and needs of his fellow men and to judge everything correctly and to act accordingly.
For this to happen, however, perception must become clear, but this is only possible by eliminating one's own mistakes and shortcomings that prevent one from seeing things as they really are.
Therefore, the obstacles that prevent knowledge and the shaping of all knowledge must be removed, and thus do not free us from all the delusions such as desires, hatred, jealousy, anger and pride, as well as from unkindness, vindictiveness, ignorance, greed, stinginess, self-opinionatedness, know-it-allism, criticism, retaliation, wrong actions, words and deeds, etc. It must also be clear, however, that even when the delusions, wrong reactions and behaviors are put aside, they still retain their imprints in consciousness and memory, and can therefore break out and appear again and again when control over them is lost.
The evils do not disappear until they are completely eradicated and destroyed, which is only possible when the true essence of consciousness becomes clear, pure and knowing, to purify itself from the bottom up and to gain an open clarity of consciousness, which then gives rise to the actual knowledge that contains knowledge and wisdom.
The main motive which must lead man to gain superior advantages in terms of his consciousness and mental and emotional, psychological, linguistic, physical, action and activity, and in general behavioural forms, is based on the motivation to create true compassion for oneself as well as for one's fellow human beings and all forms of life in general.
The basic tendency must be the desire to help first and foremost oneself and secondly one's fellow human beings.
This corresponds to an altruistic resp. unselfish creative-natural law, which is basically given to every human being by nature as an inner value.
Unfortunately, however, this natural value is usually thoroughly suppressed and often destroyed to such an extent that many people are no longer able to bring the valuable inner value back to life and to its effect.
This value of true compassion for oneself and one's fellow human beings, as well as for all forms of life, given by nature to every human being, is a creative-natural law and admission of life that the individual human being and all human beings in general may cultivate their desire to be happy, to avoid suffering, pain and harm, and to live in true love, harmony and freedom and in peace.
The compassion given to man for himself as well as for all people and all forms of life in general is fundamentally a seed of a creative-natural law that must be protected and helped to grow.
For this reason, the spiritual teaching teaches in a profound way to grasp and develop this great value and the altruistic or disinterested attitude of man.
It is further taught that every human being and every form of life should live free from suffering, pain and harm.
This also leads to the realization and insight that one's own well-being is ultimately just as important as that of one's neighbor and all fellow men and forms of life.
But this good can only be a reality if the individual raises himself to the status of a true human being and shapes his power of consciousness in such a way that it offers an opportunity for that realization of true humanity which can be understood in life as a valuable practice.
The truth is given only by the fact of reality. There is only one truth in every respect, and that is the truth that results from the reality of a fact, and this truth cannot be twisted or distorted.
Every reality is therefore based on an irrefutable and unquestionable fact, which is to be understood as its own truth.
Only that which is objective, chemical, physical in fine, ultra-fine and coarse material form as well as realistic and rational is to be understood as reality and can be explained, understood and understood as such.
This truth is then called knowledge and in its entirety knowledge, because knowledge has something to do with something finished, secure, whole and existing.
What is not yet given as truth in the forms mentioned, but what is worked on to fathom it and find its truth, appears in the development to truth as hypothesis resp. as still unproven assumption.
And only when this becomes true is there talk of a fact and its reality and the resulting truth and this is then called knowledge.
The situation is different when something cannot be explained and understood in the way mentioned, as it is with regard to faith of any kind.
This is not based on a hypothesis or on an as yet unproven assumption that could one day be proven, but on a disturbance of the function of the mind, which is connected with a strong pathological imagination with conscious-psychic hope, whereby the whole thing forms into a delusion, through which something absolutely unprovable is considered to be absolutely true.
Faith as a disturbance of the function of the mind, based on a pathological conception, is characterized by the greatest possible subjective conviction, as well as by its severe uninfluenceability and the impossibility of the content of faith.
What the spiritual teaching teaches as fact and the reality and truth that results from it, is that everything of life and this itself is classified in an unavoidable impermanence, which corresponds to the absolute reality and its truth.
The happiness that man strives for is also impermanent and constantly fades away, just as everything that is wrongly considered to be truly permanent is not permanent.
Thus also happiness is subject to constant change and is disturbed alternately by suffering and pain and by many other negative things, whereby especially delusions such as ignorance and wrong reactions as well as harmful behaviours such as anger, wrath, hatred, jealousy, greed, vice, desires, avarice and vengeance as well as all kinds of covetous attachments are the causes for this.
But if man wants to abolish this constant change and steer it into controlled courses, then he must recognize and understand its causes, because only when the roots of the delusions are grasped, torn out and destroyed, a state of real freedom from evil is achieved.
And for this there is a way that leads to the cessation of evils and to true freedom from 0 the same.
In order to reach this state of freedom in consciousness, however, the path must be followed, and it must be taken seriously, consciously and willingly.
Only when the law of causality or the law of cause and effect is understood, however, does the human being encourage himself to commit himself to the path that will put an end to all the evils of delusion.
It must be fundamentally understood that negative or evil and bad thoughts and feelings as well as similar words, actions and deeds create the same conditions and effects.
This in the same way that positive, kind and good thoughts, feelings, words, actions and deeds create conditions and effects of equal value.
Therefore, when man develops a deep certainty within himself as to the validity of the law of cause and effect, he becomes capable of grasping and eliminating his own evil delusions, emotions and behaviour.
The wrong impulses and behaviors of every kind are obvious to man, for the experience of them testifies to their existence.
But the rule is that all the delusions are perceived, but no conscious effort is made to really recognize them as evils and to counteract them.
They are simply accepted and lived out without hesitation and without resistance.
But if man really and truly wants to be a true man and become free from his delusions, then he must be careful and consciously direct his attention to the evils that burden him and come to the realization that if he does not want to have his wrong impulses and behaviour etc., he must work very quickly to recognize and understand the causes of all his delusions.
Only when he understands his delusional evils and their origins will he find the possibility of dissolving all his ignorance, which is truly the main cause of his wrong impulses and behaviour etc.
In this way it becomes possible to establish a state that leads to an end of evils and to the cessation of ignorance, which is the cause of all delusions, all wrong impulses and behaviour such as unkindness, hatred, dishonesty, jealousy, greed and stinginess, coercion and violence and everything that leads to strife, bondage, revenge, revenge, murder and manslaughter and war.
When the need is great enough to put an end to the delusions that are expressed as false impulses and behaviors in words, actions and deeds, then a spontaneous need arises to achieve a state of freedom from all the burdensome evils.
But the understanding of this must be so profound that it shakes the whole inner existence and triggers the strong need to really and truly attain the state of inner freedom.
Only then, when this inner need develops, the motivation to end the unpleasant state of delusions unfolds.
From the motivation then also the open-mindedness and the determination as well as the will to realize in one's own consciousness the termination of the impulses for the wrong movements, behaviors, words, actions and deeds.
If this is done, then after a short time it becomes clear what can be achieved with it and what advantages and beauty etc. life offers when it is free of delusions.
Every rational human being is master of himself and therefore determines his own personal fate and his own well-being and fate, therefore he has to handle, arrange and carry out everything himself.
He is master of himself and not a slave of a god, angel or idols etc., all of which are delusional creatures conceived only by men.
Nor does he need any religion or sect, but only his clear mind and sound reason to shape his life, his way of life and lifestyle, and his personal destiny itself from the bottom up.
Neither does he need a priest, monk, priest, preacher or guru, sect leader, pope, nor a self-proclaimed sublime or 'divine' person, etc. Neither does he need to seek the guidance of an experienced 'spiritual' master to be influenced and convinced for a faith and a faithful way of life and to be told that he is suitable for the practice of spiritual teaching and can understand it.
In fact, every intellectually and rationally gifted man is absolutely alone capable and able to grasp, understand, learn and comprehend all that is necessary, if only he is motivated to do so and creates in himself the will to realize his efforts and puts everything into practice.
Some may need written or oral guidance because they have not been taught the necessary facts through education, training, etc., but they are all capable of learning everything themselves through written or oral guidance.
And such instructions promote not only learning in and for itself, but also independence and the resulting self-confidence.
On the contrary, when seekers and willing learners fall into the clutches of 'spiritual' masters, of cult leaders of all kinds, of self-appointed exalted or 'divine' people, and of any gurus etc., who force them into dogmas and make them believe in a god, idols, angels or demons etc.
To act when the need arises to free oneself from delusions, false impulses, words, behaviour, actions and deeds, etc. If aspects arise which cannot be put into practice and action immediately and cannot be understood, then they should simply be dropped for the moment.
Instead, the motivation and the will to make it possible for oneself to put the whole thing into practice later, sometime in the future.
And if man makes himself capable of such an attitude and possibility of action, then his conception and view is so deeply rooted in his inner being that sooner or later he will actually implement and realize what has been pushed aside.
For every learner and practitioner, in terms of his transformation from delusions or false impulses, behaviors, forms of speech, actions and deeds, etc. to true freedom from these unworthy values, all the efforts involved are necessary and significant.
If a person makes an effort in the above-mentioned learning and practicing way, then as a seeker and learner he must be fully aware that whatever he does, undertakes and learns, is necessary for the comprehension of everything.
But that alone is not enough, because there must also be knowledge of when the individual learning factors are needed and how they should be used.
First of all, an outline of what should be changed for the better and for the better must be recorded, after which an order of procedure is useful.
It is extremely important to memorize this order, to know it and to follow it, because the better we know what needs to be changed one by one, the easier it will be to counter the individual evils.
So it is important to know a certain background to combat delusions and also to know when and how they can be countered.
If these factors are consciously present and correctly understood, all difficulties and ambiguities associated with practice are removed in a completely natural way and lose their worth.
This does not mean, however, that man should simply detach himself from everything, for in fact he must always remain present and be aware of what he has to do rationally and rationally.
This also means that he must not retreat into seclusion, but that he must always face reality and its truth and always be aware of which delusions or false impulses, behaviors, words and idioms as well as actions and deeds he must fight and reduce.
In fact, it is true that a higher level of awareness of everyday life must be sought and built into the whole process of transformation for the better and good.
Whether man devotes himself to daily activities, such as eating, drinking, sleeping and working, the intentions of all kinds must be constantly checked and everything must be consciously realized.
And this must be so with regard to the body, language and speech, but also with regard to consciousness and thoughts and feelings, to individual actions and deeds and to every negativity, however small and finely woven.
It is also necessary to combine daily activities with a basic attitude of compassion.
It is also of great importance to let the attitudes of consciousness, action and action, as well as the physical, linguistic and mental-emotional impulses be permeated with the values of the spiritual teaching.
But this must also include the knowledge and the knowledge essences or the wisdom from practice of all efforts.
And when man is able, through all his voluntary efforts, to give up his delusions in order to devote his life to practice and there with the truly good and best movements, attitudes, thoughts and feelings, his words and speech, and his valuable actions and deeds, then he is on the way to becoming truly human.
The study of spiritual teaching is like a bright light that illuminates the darkness of ignorance regarding true life and humanity and leads man to real life and true humanity.
The learning, understanding and observance of the creative-natural laws and recommendations, as they are taught through spiritual teaching, leads to the recognition of true humanity and constitutes man's most precious asset.
The whole is man's greatest possession, which cannot be stolen by the most evil and refined thief.
To have this possession, to know and obey the natural laws and recommendations of creation, is to possess a weapon that makes all ignorance and evil of every enemy ad absurdum, and to the one who possesses this weapon it is best friend.
And the man who possesses this weapon leads himself through all difficult times, feels in himself true compassion for himself, for people and for all forms of life, and he does not deceive himself or others, nor is he dishonest or slanderous.
He makes true friends, and the friendships he makes are based on love, kindness, compassion, peace, freedom and harmony.
Prestige, money, influence, position and power do not play a role, for they are only of material value, but they have no meaning for true love and friendship.
And in this sense, when a man becomes the true friend of another man, he never lets the other down, no matter what misfortune befalls him, what illness he falls into, whether he loses his wealth or suffers damage, etc. But the best and infallible friend of every man is the block of creative-natural laws and recommendations, as they are given by the spiritual teaching for the infallible benefit of every man.
These laws and recommendations, which have no connection whatsoever with any imaginary god, angel or idol etc., are also the best medicine for every human being, and this without any side effects or dangers.
And the knowledge gained from the study of the creative-natural laws and recommendations, as they are taught through spiritual teaching, is like an army of wisdom that helps every man to transform his ignorance into true knowledge and effective wisdom by releasing forces through which all falsehood and error can be recognized and shattered.
The knowledge to be gained from the whole protects every learner from making wrong and evil speeches, having wrong thoughts and feelings, and committing virtueless actions and deeds.
The Teaching teaches that man's position, fame and fortune are derived from his love, knowledge, wisdom, freedom, harmony and peace.
But the whole thing has to be learned through personal and original study and through the practice connected with it, because only through this can all the delusions, the wrong reactions and behaviours of every kind be eliminated and neutralised and true knowledge, truth and wisdom as well as love, freedom, harmony and peace all around be granted a lasting existence, through which the human being has joy in life and in this lasting happiness.
Without knowing the creative-natural laws and recommendations, man cannot learn, understand or obey them, and consequently cannot realize them in his way of life.
But if he is willing, he can recognize many of them in the open nature and make them his own through his own intellect and reason, for the laws and recommendations are given creatively and naturally and are recognizable to everyone who wants to recognize them.
It is true that nowadays man is far from seeking these laws and recommendations in free nature, because this necessity is no longer taught to him through education, just as it was no longer taught to parents and grandparents and great-grandparents etc., but if he is willing, he can learn it of his own accord and under his own steam.
This may be difficult for some people, but it is indeed possible; but for those who are unable to perceive, understand and obey the natural laws and recommendations of creation by their own efforts in nature and through their own thought work, they can also call upon the help of fellow men who know.
However, such helping people in terms of the knowledge and transmission and teaching of the creative naturalities are not to be found among gurus, sect leaders or religious sectarian clergy, nor among 'saints', 'exalted' and 'divine' - or whatever they call themselves.
True help can only be given to people who themselves know the creative natural laws and recommendations, who can understand and teach them, and who are able to comprehend them in the best possible way.
It is given to them to know that sooner or later every human being must and can receive the teaching in the form of the spiritual teaching or the 'teaching of truth, teaching of the spirit, teaching of life', because the creative-natural laws and recommendations are there to be perceived, understood, learned, obeyed and lived.
The subjects that are studied in relation to the spiritual teaching are precisely the individual factors that are to be put into practice in the life and in the shaping and conduct of human life.
The study that is to be undertaken is to be done for the sake of practice, not simply to have studied something interesting and to be able to shine in the eyes of others.
And if learning is really for the sake of practice, then the student will be able to understand the deep and comprehensive 'teaching of truth, teaching of the spirit, teaching of life' as very personal advice, which gives only progress, development and benefits, but no disadvantages and difficulties etc.
Also all the many explanations become personal advice, which leads to the recognition and the path of the creative-natural reality and its truth, as well as to the laws and recommendations and their implementation in practice.
Thus the advice also protects from all misconceptions that certain parts of the spiritual teaching are unnecessary for practice, and also that certain parts of the 'teaching of truth, teaching of the spirit, teaching of life' are only necessary for academic training and education.
The creative-natural laws and recommendations require neither bowing down nor humility from man.
These are, however, demanded to the contrary as forms of humiliation and subjugation and a necessity in every religious sectarian heresy.
The spiritual teaching, which is summarized as the teaching of creative natural laws and recommendations in the 'Teaching of Truth, Teaching of the Spirit, Teaching of Life', does not require that the person who is learning and studying the teaching should bow humbly with folded hands, begging and pleading, in order to counteract pride and every conceit.
Such forms of action belong solely to the field of religious sectarian heresies, machinations and ritual acts.
Modesty in every imaginable form is just as important as being open and neutral, unbiased and without prejudice, because it can truly only be learned and studied effectively if the teaching is openly opposed in every respect.
In the same way, however, this must also be in relation to fellow human beings, for if, for example, another person is met who is not studying the teachings and consequently knows little or nothing about them, then his own sense and his own senses and aspirations must also be open towards him and full of respect and modesty.
On the basis of one's own learning from the spiritual teachings and thus also with regard to the working of the creative-natural laws and recommendations concerning the causal law, one's own modesty and respect for one's fellow man must be as great and comprehensive as for oneself.
This alone guarantees that he is on an equal footing with his fellow man and neither places himself above nor is he subordinate to the other.
Therefore, when studying the spiritual teachings, it is necessary to always control and master one's own state of consciousness as well as one's own movements and behaviour and thus also one's own thoughts and feelings.
In this respect, everything should always be related to what is learned and studied, so that it becomes one's own way of thinking and feeling and thus one's own state of consciousness.
If this is actually learned, understood, practiced and understood, then a level is reached within a short time at which certain influences, changes and effects in consciousness can be perceived.
And this is a proof that in the practice of learning, studying, and the realization of the same, actually recognizable progress is being made, and that positive development is taking place, and that the purpose of learning and studying is worthwhile, fulfilled, and brings success.
To overcome, reduce and neutralize all the delusions, the false mental and emotional impulses, the behaviour and speech patterns as well as the committing of wrong actions and deeds is not an easy task, but one that costs lifelong efforts.
However, if man consciously makes a sustained effort to dedicate himself to the learning and study of the teachings and the practice of getting his delusions under control, then a noticeable transformation of consciousness for the better and for the good will results over months and years.
In principle, one should not expect immediate taming of thoughts and feelings, for everything takes time, and nothing so much as fighting wrong impulses of an intellectual-emotional nature and wrong behaviour in every respect.
If this is ignored and not understood, false hopes arise which do not come true and consequently lead to depression and discouragement.
In fact, it takes years and even a lifetime to master the many delusions on a larger scale and reach a state that can be calculated in very high values.
Nevertheless, by learning and studying the spiritual teachings, it is possible, in the foreseeable future, to become a much more valuable and true human being who lives in humanity in a real humanity and can control and guide himself in such a way that he leaves behind all evil and purely negative things and lives his life according to the creative-natural laws and recommendations.
And if a person is able to do this by putting in the necessary motivation, energy and time to learn, study and change, then he can also see quite quickly that he will gain great benefit from turning the whole into reality.
If man finds in himself even a slight certainty of the effective effectiveness of spiritual teaching, then this means that he is really striving for the whole and that he can therefore develop everything in a good way and put it into practice.
But for progress to be made, it is important that a true understanding of the path to be followed is gained.
But this can only be achieved by learning and by actually studying the teaching, so that a firm determination must be developed.
And this should not only happen for the sake of the very own, but also for the benefit of all fellow men and all forms of life.
And as soon as a man learns and studies the 'teaching of truth, teaching of the spirit, teaching of life', he also becomes an ambassador of the creative-natural laws and recommendations.
This also means, however, that the person who learns and studies the spiritual teachings must be clear that these laws and recommendations are inseparable from effective life and must therefore be regarded and understood in this way.
From this understanding it must also be understood that only the creative-natural laws and recommendations are infallible, while man is defective in following and understanding them.
However, no time should be wasted in trying to understand these shortcomings as such at their origin, because in order to remedy them it is only necessary to know them in such a way that they are given and exist and must be fought and eliminated.
In this respect, the same principle applies as for a chair with a broken leg that needs to be repaired: the chair manufacturer, who has to repair the broken chair leg, is not interested in how the damage was caused, but only in finding the suitable material with which he can carry out the repair.
The same principle applies when delusions or false impulses and harmful behaviour of any kind must be combated and made to disappear.
The human being only needs to know the fact of the corresponding delusion in order to find the right remedy or the right way to fight and eliminate the harmful delusion, the wrong impulse and behaviour.
This means that simply with clear consciousness and with clear thoughts and feelings in mindfulness and attention the whole of the evil to be fought must be considered and for its transformation for the better and good the right means or the right way must be found.
The whole thing therefore means that it is not the origin of the delusion that is sought, but rather that what the means or the path points to is followed in order to fight and dissolve what is perceived as unwanted impulses and behaviour etc. which brings misery, suffering, pain and damage.
So 0 must be paid attention to the essentials of what the spiritual teaching brings as a message and solution to counteract the wrong mental and emotional impulses, behaviour, treatment and speech as well as the wrong actions and deeds.
Learning and Studying the Teaching of the Mind If the Teaching of the Mind is really seriously learned and studied, and if notes or recordings are necessarily made on sound carriers, then the ability to remember what has been learned and to evaluate it usefully is developed, but the whole depends on the degree of familiarity with what has been learned.
If learning and studying is done consciously, the consciousness of the learner and student soon resembles a cup of light in which love, knowledge and wisdom as well as peace, freedom and harmony are collected.
If the chalice of light or the consciousness of the learning and studying person is open, then the nectar of the creative-natural laws and recommendations can flow in and shine brightly.
However, if the cup of light is closed, the nectar evaporates before it even gets near the cup of light.
However, if the chalice of light is surrounded by dirt and debris, the nectar will spoil when it comes into contact with it.
And if the chalice of light is open but defective and has a hole, the nectar will flow out again and cannot be collected or kept.
Thus man may well use the spiritual teaching for reading, but if he allows himself to be distracted by it, or does not study it consciously, motivated and willingly, then it is either not clearly and distinctly received in the consciousness, but is dismissed, or the content of the teaching is polluted and spoiled with rubbish, or it continually evaporates again without being consciously registered.
So it is also possible that the teaching may be given some attention, but if the inner attitude to it is missing or the person is dominated by negative intentions, then there is no real learning.
This can be possible in many ways, such as when the teaching is simply read or listened to, and then moaned about and demonstrated to have a 'superior' intelligence.
Another case may be that the Teaching is read or heard in a way that there is absolute superficiality, so it is not consciously received or simply goes in one ear and out the other.
If the reading or hearing of the spiritual teaching takes place in these ways, then in the end man knows just as much as at the beginning, namely absolutely nothing, so he is completely empty, just as if he had not read or heard anything.
If a person does not study constantly, it is based on the fact that there is no interest and motivation, no corresponding will and no joyful effort to learn.
But it is precisely these values that must be present for learning and studying.
However, they are also necessary in order to put everything into memory and to preserve everything that has been learned and studied.
But it is also necessary to take the time that has to be spent on what is to be learnt and studied. It is also absolutely essential that a text is not just skimmed over and superficial, but read and studied several times.
This is important because it is only through repetition that everything is memorized to such an extent that it is available and can be called up at any time.
For this important reason, individual parts of the spiritual teaching are repeated several times so that they can be memorized, as is the case when memorizing a poem or any other text.
Thus, it is a necessity of good teaching that what is to be learned and what is to be studied is repeated in several ways, but always in a slightly different form.
Reading through a teaching only once creates a really very weak and extremely deficient kind of overall impression, which means that it is not fully understood what the learner is really about and what the teaching has to teach.
This is also the case if the person who is learning and studying has a relatively good intelligence and if he can read a text quickly and remember some of it.
In real learning and studying it is not a privilege if one can read quickly and present a lively intelligence, if what one reads is not understood to the basics and the learned material cannot be transferred into the memory in such a way that it remains extensively present.
Even if man with great intelligence resembles a cistern full of water, it empties very quickly if it is full of holes.
By learning and studying the spiritual teachings, man comes to knowledge about many things.
This results in different forms of understanding, because the spiritual teaching material is not the same as that of a newspaper, journal, novel or other entertainment book, whose text is read only once briefly and usually superficially and does not give any reason to read it several times.
Such texts are neither fun nor enjoyable, and if they had to be read twice or more, people would become bored.
But this is quite different when reading and studying the teachings of the spirit, for their texts are instructive and profound and are formulated in such a way that they encourage reading several times in order to be understood correctly.
They ask to be read for the second and third or even fourth time, and when this request is followed, it is found that one or the other aspect has been read over and the whole thing is not properly understood.
As a rule, reading and studying the same texts several times leads to a new understanding, which in turn opens up a different view, and it is precisely this that creates an ever deeper familiarity with what has been learned and studied in the spiritual teachings, from which the basic method of memorizing and not forgetting is developed.
Of course also with regard to the content of spiritual teaching omniscience cannot be attained, because such an omniscience is impossible for a man, so that even the wisest of all wise cannot be omniscient.
But for every rational and rational person, the possibility is given that he can attain the highest possible knowledge and a resulting highest essence or wisdom according to his rationality, if he really learns and studies.
And if man really wants to reach a great height in his knowledge and wisdom, then he must first of all exercise himself in modesty and recognize and understand that it is not school knowledge that creates great knowledge and great wisdom, but that real knowledge and true wisdom are of a completely different nature and are based solely on spiritual knowledge.
Spiritual knowledge, however, results solely and exclusively from the creative-natural laws and recommendations, through which life and all that exists, both of man and of all other forms of life and all that exists on earth and in the entire universe, has come into being, which elapses and is guided and can only develop through these spiritual-natural laws and recommendations.
And these creative-natural laws and recommendations, which are embraced in spiritual teaching, constitute alone the reality from which effective truth results as well as actual knowledge and true wisdom.
And these laws and recommendations do not demand humility or other subservience from man, but only that he should perceive and learn them, so that he may understand and obey them.
For this, however, man does not need 'spiritual masters', 'clergymen', sect leaders, preachers, 'sublime', 'divine' and gurus, etc., but only himself, his mind, reason and will, and the initiative to face reality and turn to its truth, as is given by the possibility of learning and studying the spiritual teaching.
When learning and studying the spiritual teaching, it is important that the person who engages in it has the right attitude, which means that it must be approached openly and without prejudice.
Only then is it possible to achieve an uninfluenced effect and valuable successes, because then healthy thoughts and feelings can occupy themselves with the whole, unaffected by unhealthy influences.
This way of acting and proceeding is of enormous importance, because usually during any learning or studying process the human being is afflicted by hundreds of foreign thoughts, foreign feelings and adversary thoughts as well as by feelings of adversary, which are distracting and also give wrong directions.
Such foreign thoughts and foreign feelings do not correspond to thoughts and feelings coming from other people, but they are the own thought and feeling processes of the learning person himself, whereby these processes deal with other things and directions than with the actual learning or study material.
They are in contrast to these, or they do not belong to learning and studying and are therefore 'foreign' in this respect, which is why they are called foreign thoughts and feelings.
Opposing thoughts and feelings are those which are offensive to learning and studying and thus also directed against the learning and study material and are just as much the thoughts and feelings of the learners and students as the thoughts and feelings of others.
Such thoughts and feelings are founded in delusions, which appear through doubt and false criticism against the learning material, if it is not met openly, neutrally and without prejudice.
And with all the unvalues in the form of desires, the discord and hatred, jealousy, criticalness, lack of freedom, disharmony and lack of love, etc., which work openly or profoundly underground in man, foreign thoughts, foreign feelings and antagonistic thoughts and antagonistic feelings are unfortunately very common.
Therefore it is not a question of whether these appear, but rather the rule, and consequently man has to prepare himself to face them in the right way and to reject them in the right way.
Basically, these kinds of thoughts and feelings are as insidious as the actual delusions, which quickly degenerate if they are not controlled.
This happens, for example, when anger or wrath arises, which leads to loss of control.
Grief and worries can also lead to loss of control, but also to insomnia, loss of appetite, etc. Therefore, when learning and studying the spiritual teachings, it is important that none of the above-mentioned unworthy values appear and that the teachings are considered to be the valuable things they truly are.
Therefore, care should be taken that it is not wasted on and into any unworthiness.
In order for a person to get rid of his delusions, he has to do the right thing.
This means that he has to learn the right things and that he has to apply and implement what he has learned.
But learning correctly also means that a real study must be carried out, because only through this can everything be memorized and constantly benefited from.
To possess the spiritual teaching only, not to read and study it deeply and not to learn anything from it, not to understand it and not to put anything into practice, does not help at all to lead a good, just and righteous life according to the creative natural laws and recommendations, because namely the thoughts and feelings as well as the actions and deeds remain the same and do not undergo any change for the better and good.
Spiritual teaching is only useful if it is read in depth and studied, understood and put into practice.
Only by actually putting the teaching into practice is it possible to free consciousness from the chronic disease of delusion.
However, every learning and studying person must be aware that even in the short term, great patience and strength are required and, of course, the motivation and the will to push through everything and really bring it to success.
If these values are given, then after some time the delusions become weaker and weaker, and consequently anger and wrath, hatred, feelings of revenge and jealousy as well as all kinds of vain thoughts and feelings disappear more and more, whereby the actions and deeds also begin to be regulated in a more balanced way.
By decreasing the influence of the delusions, false pride and all the conceit are also reduced, which is another value of the fact that everything is slowly returning to normal.
This also increases respect for fellow human beings as well as for oneself, which opens up a new level of life on which a righteous way of life according to the laws and recommendations of creation becomes possible.
But this can only happen if man gets rid of his chronic delusions and works continuously to prevent a relapse.
For this danger is always present due to all sorts of influences and circumstances, and therefore everything requires great and prudent mindfulness and great courage and effort to remain strong and upright.
Human consciousness is a factor that must learn under all kinds of negative and positive influences and is therefore vulnerable to both good and evil.
Therefore, it must be kept under control from the very beginning of its existence, so that it does not fall prey to the violence of delusions that have affected it since the beginning of time.
So a constant control and learning is necessary to free oneself from delusions on the one hand, and to keep oneself free from them on the other.
But this means that this can only be achieved by constantly learning with mindfulness and attention and by putting what has been learned into practice.
Reality, truth, knowledge and faith In the present day, many people live in a belief in God and do not see that they are only exploited by the religious and sectarian institutions whose beliefs and cults they follow, which spread completely untruthful heresies and consciously enslave their faithful who are in bondage to them, robbing them of any possibility of learning reality and its truth.
Through the religious-ostetic belief in God, the believers in God do not see the effective reality and its truth, so they do not recognize the effective knowledge about it and about the creative-natural laws and recommendations.
Truthfully they see in it and in following the practice of the creative-natural laws and recommendations as well as in reality and the resulting truth something evil, bad and negative.
They do not see how they are misled and in many ways exploited, enslaved, enslaved and deprived of their possessions by the major religious sect institutions which call themselves major religions.
These malicious things and the shortcomings that are not seen, not perceived, not recognized and not understood by God-believers are based on the one hand on traditional mistakes, but on the other hand also on one's own inability to let one's own intellect and reason prevail.
But it is also based on those persons who, as representatives of religions and sects and of the delusional beliefs associated with them, are able to improve their position in relation to their followers and believers and at the same time enrich themselves at their expense.
And when such representatives of religions and sects excel in a so-called irresponsible way, which is in accordance with the rule, then this clearly shows what 'value' and 'truth' is behind it.
Such institutionalized errors cannot be corrected, because they show with all clarity that the entire tradition of faith in God and thus also of the main religions or main sects and all other sects is so deeply rooted that effective reality and its truth cannot penetrate it.
Sectarianism, whether in relation to the major major sects major religions or their lesser sects, is immensely harmful to the mind and reason of man, for it leads astray and confusion, and thus away from reality and its truth.
Thus every form of religious-sectarian belief is to be rejected and only reality and its truth are to be followed, because only by this alone can the creative-natural laws and recommendations be perceived, understood and obeyed.
Religious sectarian believers wrongly conclude that reality and its truth, and thus also the laws and recommendations given in a creative and natural way, are harmful and cannot help them.
In their faith they reject all real and truthful thoughts and feelings as well as the knowledge resulting from reality and truth, and thus also reject spiritual teaching and all the great and immeasurable values resulting from it.
Others are completely indifferent to spiritual teaching and their immense knowledge and imagine themselves to be completely satisfied with their worldly way of life, while they are indeed extremely dissatisfied, despite their material comfort and wealth.
Others are neither for nor against the spiritual teaching, but they are all equal in that they instinctively wish to attain happiness, to be able to love and be loved, to live in peace, freedom and harmony, and that they do not have to endure suffering and pain.
If man does not turn to the creative natural laws and recommendations and give up the search for the effective reality and truth by simply devoting himself to a religious sectarian belief in God, then he lives in a delusion that can never bring him a fulfilment of life, as is possible through spiritual teaching.
For this does not impart faith, but truthful knowledge and truth that emerge from the reality of the natural laws and recommendations of creation.
And if we do not live and act according to the rules of natural laws and recommendations, we will not understand that man forges his own destiny.
Unhappiness, discord, inner unfreedom as well as disharmony, lack of love, jealousy, hatred, vindictiveness as well as stinginess, greed, violence and vice are man's very own works of art, which are based on cause and effect, according to his own bad, evil and negative thoughts, feelings, actions and deeds.
The religious sectarian believer, however, does not recognize this, because he attributes all events that affect him to that God as his will, in whom he believes, whom he worships and adores, and to whom he places responsibility for everything and consequently isolates himself from personal responsibility.
This is one side, because there is another side, which is that believers, no matter what kind, imagine their fate and the effects of life as deficiencies within society, as effects of their direct or indirect environment, or as excesses and consequences of actions and deeds of their family members, their friends or acquaintances, etc. In this way, people begin to blame other people for things, events and situations, for suffering, pain and loss, etc., which are fundamentally their own fault.
Such blame is greatly reinforced by disregard for reality and the resulting truth, and by religious sectarian beliefs, which, in an egocentric attitude, leads to a covetous attachment of delusions and wrong behaviour, such as jealousy, hatred, feelings of revenge and retaliation, etc. In addition, the influence of such delusions and wrong behaviour leads to mistrust, as well as to the emergence of wrong actions and deeds, on which the person makes himself dependent and is tormented by them openly or secretly.
Basically, the religious sectarian God-believers gave up and still give up the truthful knowledge and their relation to reality as well as the resulting truth because they thought and still think that the belief in God is a liberation from all earthly evil.
They call themselves believers and make great sacrifices in the struggle for their faith, which are neither necessary nor useful, because in their faith they feel powerful and better than all others and by this alone they set themselves apart from their neighbor.
In this way, sectarian-faith rivalries are created, which often lead to the believers fighting each other.
They lack the knowledge of the equality of all human beings, and they lack the truth of equality and the reference to the reality that all human beings as such are equal and of equal value.
Each believes to be a better believer than the other, and each is anxious for better and more advantages, so inevitably each is anxious to take advantage of the other and even to ruin it.
And all this is contrary to what religious sectarians claim that faith is supposed to bring about a common good.
In truth, however, the exact opposite is the case, which is proven by all the quarrels and destruction in families and friendships, as well as by the wars and murderous crimes etc.
But it can't be any other way, since the main sects or main religions and the smaller sects teach punishment, war and murder as well as revenge etc. when 'divine' orders are violated.
Unbelief or disbelief should be punished severely, and certain offences by stoning, and discord between nations by war, and family feuds by blood revenge, etc. etc.
The question is, where is all the good that is madly preached as faith, like love, peace, justice, humanity, freedom and harmony, which are, however, truly religious-sectarian empty phrases.
Contrary to these inhuman heresies of violence, coercion, bloodshed and punishment is the spiritual teaching, which teaches neither punishment nor violence, but only the high values of true love and humanity, of peace, freedom and harmony, which alone correspond to the reality and truth of the creative-natural laws and recommendations and which are taught as true knowledge, so that man may use them and make them his true purpose in life.
The great main sects of religions and the small sects resulting from them do not work for the common good of mankind, but they see all evil and use their means of faith only to achieve their 0 goals, which consist in the accumulation of wealth and thus in the exploitation of the faithful, as well as in their conscious enslavement, bondage and domination.
Further, however, they also know how to divide their believers and those of other faiths into hostile camps, whereby the main sects and main sects or main religions are enemies among themselves, but also in relation to the sects that have emerged from them.
As a result, the main sects or main religions as well as these and their sects have prepared themselves for confrontation.
Although it is publicly pretended that the main sects are converging and getting along with each other, this is really only pretense, because it is impossible for the main sects or main religions to find a real consensus with each other, because their beliefs, rites and rituals are infinitely different in every respect.
So by and large there are fundamentally different views of faith among the believers of the different faiths, which means that they are therefore also divided into hostile camps, even if they falsely pretend acceptance and equality.
In this respect, then, the main sects, the main religions, and the minor sects are absolutely destructive, unpeaceful and disharmonious, because all their energy is directed only towards spreading heresy, the conscious enslavement of the faithful and their bondage, exploitation in every possible form and oppression.
The liberation of believers from their delusions and wrongdoings is not considered, as these in turn ensure that they remain in the captivity of their faith in God and in the clutches of the main sects, religions and minor sects.
In contrast to the main sects, religions and the minor sects, people who are still pregnant with their intellect and reason follow the path of knowledge of reality and the resulting truth and thus the path of spiritual teaching, in which the creative-natural laws and recommendations and their modes of operation are listed and taught.
And for the people who follow this teaching, who learn, study and put it into practice, it forms the basis for true love and compassion as well as for peace, freedom and harmony in their lives.
These motives are also the basic sense and the basic force for the own and general well-being of people and all living beings in general, for which the human being must strive to develop a positive state of consciousness in himself and also in others.
This, however, must be very serious, because it is of no use if damage is done, even if it is possible to make up for some of the damage.
Damage must be avoided as far as possible, because only in this way can an improvement be brought about, not only with regard to oneself but also with regard to one's fellow human beings and society as a whole.
However, to achieve this improvement requires a healthy and profound motivation as well as a comprehensive compassion for oneself and generally for one's fellow human beings.
This compassion must be worked out from the beginning and made the main factor, because if it is not present in the initial motive, then everything is doomed to failure.
Only when the initial motive is based on compassion for oneself, for one's fellow human beings and for all forms of life in general, can there be real success.
A great many people today are completely indifferent to the creative natural laws and recommendations, so they do not find it necessary to waste a single thought on spiritual teaching.
As a rule, people today are materially well off, especially in the industrialised countries, but nevertheless they are completely dissatisfied, because despite their wealth they are unsatisfied.
These wealthy people suffer as much as the average wealthy people from the tormenting urge to constantly want more material values etc.
Although they are well-off with material values and often wealthy, they are consciously as poor as a mouse in an empty granary.
And when they then realize with horror that they cannot have everything they want, desire and long for, then a world collapses for them and they fall into tremendous problems.
Depression and existential fear creep in, and the fear of the future grows immeasurably, just as friendships and families break up, often leading to suicide.
Monstrously many are completely absorbed by their material outlook on life and by the pursuit of money and pleasure etc., so that they have no space left to deal with anything of value that could help them to gain a clear view and a good lifestyle.
In time, they lose everything, including the dream of realizable wishes and needs and of a happy life that should have been achieved through money.
In learning, studying and realizing the practice of the spiritual teachings, all things that are wrong and bring suffering, pain and disadvantages are consciously realized.
The Teaching does not avoid these things, but teaches to recognize everything correctly and to approach it in a decisive way in order to cope with it and to achieve progress and successes that ensure a better life.
Birth, life, old age, dying and death are also dealt with, as well as the uncertainty of life span, etc. And the effectiveness of reality and the resulting truth and knowledge is taught, as well as that every faith leads man into a hopeless dependence of delusion.
The spiritual teaching teaches to consciously nurture thoughts and feelings and to consciously perform valuable actions and accomplish right deeds.
And it is taught that man has to prepare himself consciously to face death at the end of his time and that the end of the lifetime comes unchangeably and is inevitable.
But this does not mean that the body should not be protected or that man should be allowed to catapult himself out of life, because life is an obligation of learning, if necessary until the bitter end.
So if the body becomes ill, then the necessary medicine must be taken to make it healthy again.
But if this is not possible and death is inevitable, then man must be prepared for it.
This is not to be addressed here in an explanatory way, because what is important here is that which concerns the span of life and what can be learned and used as fixed knowledge during this span of life with regard to the creative-natural laws and recommendations and therefore also with regard to their reality and truth, and this far from any faith.
The prophets and the spiritual doctrine of Nokodemion is the primordial prophet, and he created the spiritual doctrine according to the creative natural laws and recommendations, which he passed on to people all over the universe as the 'doctrine of the prophets', as the 'doctrine of truth, the doctrine of the spirit, the doctrine of life', so that they might learn and obey the laws and recommendations and live a just, valuable and righteous life in love, peace, freedom and harmony.
He appeared billions of years ago, returning from the first pure spirit plane Arahat Athersata (beholder of time), and has since then, through his teachings, shown many human beings throughout the universe the way to a true creation-determined life.
Only the people during his lifetime, however, were fortunate enough to meet him personally and to come under his guidance and instruction, so that they did not remain in their untamed and ordinary state of consciousness.
But the spirit is imperishable, both the spirit energy of creation and the spirit energy or spirit form of man.
So also the spirit form Nokodemions survived all the time of billions of years to reincarnate again and again in new personalities with always a new block of consciousness.
And on many worlds in the universe Nokodemion's spirit form repeatedly animated human beings who appeared as prophets and who taught the spiritual teaching as 'teaching of the prophets', as 'teaching of truth, teaching of the spirit, teaching of life'.
So some time ago a new personality of Nokodemion came to earth as Henok and lived and died here.
Since then his spirit form is reborn again and again on this world in new earthly human bodies, which carry a new block of consciousness and a new personality within themselves.
And as the Nokodemion spirit form again and again enlivens new human bodies with new blocks of consciousness and new personalities, it is inevitable that from time to time new prophets have arisen from it, who appeared among the people on earth as prophetic heralds and who taught the 'doctrine of the prophets'.
After the first appearance of the Nokodemion spirit form in an earth person, further reincarnations followed, from which consequently also the first earthly prophet Enoch appeared.
On earth a sevenfold line of prophets has formed from the Nokodemion spirit form, which reaches into the 21st century after Jmmanuel.
And since the appearance of Enoch, many men of the earth have learned from the spiritual teaching and have become true followers of the creative-natural laws and recommendations and thus creatively righteous true men.
From time immemorial the prophets were heralds and teachers and were trained in concentration as well as in perseverance, patience and diligence, which was manifested in their constant attentiveness, attention and self-examination.
In this they had gained great experience, which was also necessary for their learning about the spiritual teachings and thus about the creative-natural laws and recommendations which they taught.
A true prophet also had to pass through the teaching of knowledge, reality and its truth, and wisdom, for it was only by these that he was able to see through the deceptive nature of material phenomena.
Every prophet also had to tame his consciousness and his thoughts and feelings, because only through this he was always able to be reconciliatory in all situations throughout his life.
There could not be any doubts either, because these would have led to abysmal inner ambivalence among themselves and to differences of opinion among people, if the scholar had not been able to explain and prove the truth of the matter in a sustainable way by means of reality and its truth.
Physical restraint was also of great importance to them, for if they had not maintained it to the best of their ability, they would have angered people with it, because they expected the prophets to have the necessary restraint.
So they had to constantly control themselves in the best possible way, be on their guard and make sure that they did not break any rules, because otherwise external attacks would have been made against them.
Such attacks were indeed given despite their constant control, but not because they could not have mastered their restraint, but because they always spoke a frank word, told the truth, taught and named the effective facts.
This species often became the fate of the prophets, which is why they were insulted and persecuted and even threatened with death.
Since time immemorial, when the true prophets taught certain topics of spiritual teaching, they had to be able to explain them in their entirety and relate them to the natural laws and recommendations of creation.
So they also had to be able to transform their extensive knowledge, wisdom and understanding of a subject of teaching in such a way as to produce a thoroughly useful, easy and comprehensible teaching that could be understood and grasped by any student or listener.
This does not mean, however, that the prophets were simply able to wash away the delusions, false attitudes and the equally false actions and deeds of people, or that they were able to impress upon them the knowledge they had laboriously acquired.
A prophet could never and never will do this, because every single person has to put into practice what he has learned and understood, as well as learning and studying, into action and practice on his own initiative.
The true prophets could and can each only show the right way, which men are to follow of their own will and through which they have to free themselves through their own initiative from their delusions, wrong behaviour, actions and deeds.
The real purpose of the teachings of the true prophets was and is to teach people the creative-natural laws and recommendations and to make them understandable to them, so that they follow them and lead a life that is correct according to the laws and recommendations, which brings them true love, freedom, harmony, joy, peace, happiness and balance.
Therefore, it was and is important for true prophets to have an appealing way of speaking and a firm, well-formed, understandable and both hard, strict, direct, sharp, violent, unrelenting, as well as a pleasant, appealing, considerate, sympathetic as well as connecting, calm and sincere language, and to be able to explain everything necessary down to the finest nuances so that the scholar can be understood.
All instruction and explanation must be given with a sincere motive, but never for the sake of fame, money or any material or other personal gain.
If only money, possessions, luxury, wealth and fortune as well as an accentuated image and power over people etc. are the motive, then the whole is only directed towards a purely material and worldly activity and therefore of no intrinsic value.
If these material things are in the foreground or background, then it is clear that the 'scholar' is worthless, lazy, nonsensical and fraudulent.
True prophets are only allowed to accept voluntary offerings and to cover their expenses, as well as to claim costs for learning materials which they have to interpret, as is the case in the material world today, since books and writings etc. can be created and used as learning material.
This is because people today are generally proficient in reading and writing, and learning and studying has become possible worldwide through extensive connections, which of course involves costs that have to be borne by the learners and students themselves, because a true prophet is committed to his teaching of the spiritual teachings absolutely free of charge and therefore demands no remuneration.
What a true prophet needs to earn a living, he diligently works out with his own hands, but he is allowed to accept voluntary and modest offerings, such as gifts and donations etc., as explained above, but begging for them in any form is not allowed.
And it must also be said that a true prophet never sets himself above his fellow human beings, and therefore lives and teaches on an equal footing with them.
So he does not use a podium, a pulpit or any other artificial elevation for teaching, but he stands or sits down on the same level in front of his fellow men, so that he is humbly equal to them.
A true prophet was and is also inwardly never out for compliments, but also not out for thanks, because thanks are enough for him when men turn to the spiritual teaching, learn, study, understand and comprehend it in the sense of following the laws and recommendations of creation.
He acts and teaches with great compassion, and he does it out of his own commitment, because his elementary concern is to help and that people learn to live with and for each other in true love and harmony and in peace and freedom, free from all delusions, wrong behaviour, evil acts and deeds.
Thus, the true prophets also taught and still teach that it is absolutely senseless for people to cause thoughts and feelings in themselves, that they owe the prophets something for their teachings or that they have to accept thanks, because truly no human being owes a prophet anything and is not obliged to give thanks, because every true prophet only fulfils his very own vow with regard to the fulfilment of the creative-natural laws and recommendations towards people and creation itself.
Through his teaching the prophet also constantly learns further because he also needs further learning, consequently he also always draws further benefit through further knowledge from what he teaches.
So also for him the spiritual teaching is a constant way of learning and studying, consequently his knowledge and wisdom are increasing more and more.
So it can be said that for every true prophet, the spiritual teaching that he teaches people as food for their consciousness means food in the same way, only that his knowledge and wisdom go beyond what he teaches as the necessary 'teaching of truth, teaching of the spirit, teaching of life' to his fellow human beings who are his equals as beings.
But this corresponds to necessity, because the knowledge and wisdom regarding the creative natural laws and recommendations, and thus the true spiritual knowledge of every true prophet must be greater than that of the fellow human beings whom he teaches, that is to say, just as every teacher of any subject must have a comprehensively greater knowledge in relation to it than the pupils to be taught.
But as now every true prophet is not omniscient, but only much more knowledgeable and wiser than his fellow human beings, whom he teaches and instructs, but through this also continues to learn and constantly gains new knowledge, it is senseless that undue thanks are given to him.
Correctly seen, he eats, so to speak, his own consciousness food, if he constantly acquires new knowledge and new wisdom by teaching his fellow men and further exploring the path of spiritual knowledge.
Thus a true prophet is also a learner in terms of the constant expansion of spiritual teaching and thus of effective spiritual knowledge.
But he is also a true proclaimer and teacher as a constant learner, who leads people on the path of true spiritual knowledge and wisdom and thus also to the creative natural laws, from which true love, freedom and harmony as well as peace, joy, happiness and cheerfulness etc. emerge, whereby all the delusions, wrong behaviour and actions and all evil deeds etc. dissolve and become void.
What has been explained is that every person searching for reality and its truth familiarizes himself with these facts and memorizes them when he searches for a true prophet who actually lives and works according to these abilities and factors.
Every human being who is a true seeker of reality and its truth can improve himself in himself and change for the better and good only through the reality and truth of the spiritual teaching, just as in every society of every people it is equally possible only when the creative natural laws and recommendations given and explained by the teaching are perceived, understood and put into practice.
Without the observance of these laws and recommendations, the individual human being cannot improve and change for the better, just as the entire earthly humanity cannot.
Only in this way is it possible to improve for the good and humanly righteous, but it requires continuous learning and the acquisition of true and realistic knowledge and the truth and wisdom that springs from it.
But this can only be learned through effective truth teaching, as has been taught since ancient times in the form of spiritual teaching by true prophets, in which no religious sectarian or other faith is of any significance, but only the effective reality and the resulting truth resulting from the natural laws and recommendations of creation.
Only a truly true prophet was and has been able from time immemorial to really teach men the laws and recommendations given by nature and by creation, and without these teachings things would be much worse on earth in human society than they are today in a frightening way.
But today, earthly humanity has fallen so much in love with the main sects, religions and small sects that the true 'teaching of the prophets' is no longer valid, or only very little.
The true knowledge and wisdom of the true prophets and their spiritual teachings were and are today suppressed in society by the unrealistic cultic machinations of large and small sects in such a way that a chaotic state prevails worldwide, through which the spiritual teachings are completely lost and are only known, understood and followed by a few people.
The representatives of all kinds of religions have fallen into the delusion of a belief in God etc., and they are in no way capable, despite their deep delusional belief, of perceiving the creative-natural laws and recommendations and teaching them to their delusional followers.
Priests, priests, popes, preachers, monks and other sectarians of all kinds, they are all false teachers and false prophets and seducers who slavishly seduce people into a strong delusional belief in God, whereby they all fall into a dog-like humble devotion to God and thereby suffer evil damage in many forms.
They are led in the wrong directions and fall into yawning abysses, into hells that they already experience in their lifetime.
So before a person searching for the effective reality and its truth and therefore for the truthful spiritual teaching turns to such false teachers and false prophets etc., it is enormously important to fathom everything to the deepest depths, to question other people and to examine himself in every respect of his own mind and reason and thoughts and feelings.
Only then, when it has actually been found out that a teacher or prophet truly corresponds to such a teacher or prophet, and that he is capable and knowingly and wisely enough to teach the 'doctrine of the prophets' or the spiritual doctrine, the 'doctrine of truth, doctrine of the spirit, doctrine of life' out of his own profound understanding, unselfishly and gratuitously, should he be regarded and accepted as a true teacher or true prophet.
And what still has to be explained: Every man can and may turn to the spiritual teaching and to a true prophet to perceive truth and reality and the creative-natural laws and recommendations, to learn to understand them and to follow them, because this right is given to every single man because he himself with his spiritual form is also a part of these laws and therefore of the creation-energetic spirit.
It is to be understood that the mere fact that a main sect or a minor sect and its male or female servants, such as priests, clergy, preachers, monks, nuns, popes, bonzes, gurus, 'divine', 'exalted' and 'called' and their assistants, etc., is not a matter of the religion or minor sect, are behind a religious person, sectarian, teacher, 'proclaimer' or 'prophet', do not qualify them in any way as true prophets, teachers and proclaimers.
There is indeed a very great and immeasurable difference between a true prophet, teacher, and sermonizer who teaches true knowledge and wisdom according to the creative natural laws and recommendations and according to reality and its truth, and a false teacher, sermonizer, prophet, and representative of religion and sects.
These, namely, as a rule do not possess such qualities as are characteristic of true prophets, preachers and teachers, who only teach pure reality, truth, knowledge and wisdom, while those who have fallen into the trap of falsehood only teach and spread faith and thus lies and deceit as well as bondage and enslavement of consciousness.
These false prophets, teachers and proclaimers are also the ones who have not gathered around themselves any really serious knowledgeable and wise people, but only followers who believe in God and the lips without limits, whose understanding and reason is clouded by faith in relation to reality and its truth, and in relation to the laws and recommendations of creation.
In the case of major sects/main religions and minor sects, their representatives bear great titles and names, contrary to the true prophets, who since time immemorial have had only simple names but no titles by which a special honour is to be expressed.
The true prophets do not bear their name in this regard as a titular or as some other special honorific, honorific demand, sanctity, or as an elevation of rank above their fellow men, but solely for what they are and do, that is, simply for the fact that they are true prophets, proclaimers, and teachers who place themselves on the same value level as their disciples as human beings.
The representatives of the main sects and minor sects, however, name themselves with titles and names by which they place themselves above their fellow men and demand special honours and submissiveness from them.
This fact alone shows the error of the idea that the representatives of the main sects/main religions, sect gurus, etc., rise above their followers and believers and think they are better than them.
And this is a fact that would never occur to a true prophet to do, because, as already explained, he puts himself on the same level with his disciples.
And since the representatives of the main and minor sects also dress up with clothing and jewelry, this also serves to put themselves above the followers and believers and to exclude themselves from them.
And what happens equally with the religious sectarian places of worship, which are expensively equipped with enormous material values of cult and ritual objects and presentation, serves only as an eye-catcher for the believers, who enjoy the splendour and who are to pay their 'voluntary' contribution and the taxes imposed on them.
Thus, the people who were prejudiced by religious sectarianism did not and no longer pay any attention to the true prophets, also because they lived and still live in modesty and consequently also walk around in simple clothes, without ever dressing in expensive robes specially designed for a cult or living in magnificent palaces.
Thus the attention of the faithful with regard to the representatives of the main sects and small sects is admiringly directed to their expensive clothes and jewellery as well as to their magnificent buildings and elaborate lifestyle, because madly the whole is considered a sign of dignity.
Everything serves however truthfully only to make the representatives of the main sects main religions and the small sects as well as their magnificent buildings look imposing - as an eye-catcher for the stupid believers.
True prophets did not or do not wear splendid robes or other robes distinguishing them as special 'dignitaries', just as they did not or do not live in splendid buildings, because their prophetic profession could not and cannot be reconciled with it.
Representatives of all kinds of major and minor sects, as well as those who think of themselves as 'sublime', 'divine', 'enlightened' or delusionally as born-again founders of religion or sects, rise above their followers and believers and live under the delusion that they are more and more valuable than they are.
This, together with the fact that they have fallen into the hopeless delusion of acting 'on behalf of a god'.
And since their believers also believe these nonsense things, they pay attention to the whole in this respect instead of paying attention to reality and its truth as well as to spiritual teaching and thus also to the creative-natural laws and recommendations which are truly extremely important and which must be perceived, learned and understood and put into practice.
It cannot be emphasized clearly enough that it is extremely important, when it comes to learning and studying the spiritual teaching, to trust only a true prophet and truly honest, humble, unselfish people who are well versed in the 'teaching of the prophets' or in the 'teaching of truth, teaching of the spirit, teaching of life'.
However, these are not to be found in religious sectarian circles and cults, which are solely addicted to a delusional belief in God and demand that doglike and humble adherence to a faith and that this faith must be represented and cultivated.
All these representatives of a God delusion must be confronted with extreme scepticism, because they are only out to cultivate and spread their own God delusion.
And they do this under the cloak of charity, patrons and benefactors etc., whereby they lead people into a religious aberration in order to consciously enslave them, to enslave them and furthermore to exploit them financially as well as in terms of work, sexually and in many other ways and means so that their cult can continue to exist and they themselves can live in glory and joy and indulge their vices.
Of course, it must be said that among the representatives of the main sects or main religions there are also those who honestly believe that their delusional belief in God is correct and really according to the will of a God, which is why they honestly strive to live according to good laws and recommendations and to work among their fellow men in the same way.
This is not to be denied, but it is to be denounced that they have fallen into a delusional belief in God, and so do not care about the actual "teaching of the prophets" and so also not about the spiritual teaching, because they do not know it, nor the creative natural laws and recommendations.
Thus they, like everyone else, use their faith in God to justify their religious sectarian activities, thus keeping people away from effective reality and its truth and leading them into a profound error.
This makes it impossible for the faithful of the main sects of major religions and the innumerable sects to manage their affairs in a responsible manner, in a creative and natural way, as well as in a family, partnership, friendship, social and interpersonal sense.
And it is precisely this fact that leads to the fact that innumerable believers of the main sects, main religions and the minor sects, are inevitably constantly going astray, suffering from tremendous delusions and wrong behavior, and again and again and again making wrong, harmful decisions, committing wrong acts and committing crazy deeds.
It has to be explained that also a true prophet succumbs to mistakes, which he has to laboriously correct through a purposeful learning, because also for him there is no perfection, as also not for creation itself, because everything and every thing can always only reach a relative perfection.
So it is a fact that also a true prophet has to learn and have his teachers and his sources in order to be able to acquire his knowledge and wisdom and his study of the spiritual teachings.
And as even a true prophet cannot be free of error, it is inevitable that his fellow men and students will probably discover in and with him just outwardly projected errors, which he has to remedy just as every human being has to.
But that must not be a reason to lose confidence in him because despite such mistakes he always does and gives his best to teach his fellow human beings in the best way and to insert himself in his behaviour into the creative-natural laws and recommendations and to live up to them.
And since this is the case, he does not distance himself in any way from his fellow men, but always tries to establish a good interpersonal relationship with them.
This is how he understands it and he does not have any difficulty in developing and building up a really deep trust in his fellow human beings, in order to be able to teach them at all, because he knows that everything has to be learned with great effort and that no master falls from heaven.
He knows that all people whose consciousness, thoughts and feelings have not yet been tamed and are therefore still full of delusions and wrong behaviour, actions, words and deeds, need the spiritual teaching or the 'teaching of truth, teaching of the spirit, teaching of life' and need help to learn and study it.
And when the man who learns and studies the spiritual teaching is able to consider the true prophet as being equal to him as far as being human, then he will stop to always keep the mistakes of the prophet in mind but he will turn his attention more and more to his own mistakes, delusions, wrong behaviour, actions, words and deeds etc. to correct them.
But through this he also recognizes the true abilities and talents of the prophet, as well as those in relation to himself, whereby attention is directed to them and efforts are made to develop them now seriously and to put them into action.
When man, seeking the effective reality and truth, accepts the spiritual teaching and thus the creative-natural laws and recommendations, he takes refuge in the truthful life, in which he can master everything to his own satisfaction and to the satisfaction of his fellow men.
By learning and studying the spiritual teachings, as well as by understanding and putting into practice what has been learned, a deep trust is formed, which is seen as the foundation and root of one's own progress and development.
This is because the deep trust is based on an equally deep certainty that only the fulfilment of the creative-natural laws and recommendations means true life.
But this trust must be tested, experienced and lived out, and therefore a conscious effort must constantly be made to prevent those aspects, influences, factors and perceptions, etc., which tempt one to seek errors, inconsistencies and contradictions in the spiritual teaching.
These truly do not exist, and are in fact only projections of the learners themselves, who, however, seek to find the truth inherent in the teaching.
So there is also something good about this behaviour, because it provides inspiration to the learning person, provided of course that the spiritual teaching is accepted and understood as learning material.
It must be said, however, that such inspirations only appear according to the given mind and rational reason, so they cannot reveal things that go beyond mind and reason.
Especially today, when man has fallen prey to an evil degeneration and is pushing it further and further until the actual degeneration, it is urgently necessary that each individual turns to the spiritual teachings and works towards bringing his delusions, wrong behaviour, actions and deeds etc. under control and to disappear by healthy thoughts and feelings.
This in order to free himself from the cycle of destruction, war, hatred, jealousy and strife, unfreedom and vengeance and revenge and crime and all the unworthiness of man, which he himself created.
And in the present age of human degeneration it is more urgent than ever that man on earth turn to spiritual teaching and thus to the creative-natural laws and recommendations in order to perceive and understand them, and to learn righteous conduct and live according to them.
In the process, true compassion must also be learned, which has no particular manifestation, but which must be brought to a powerful use.
But when this compassion for one's own person as well as for the fellow human beings and for all other forms of life and for everything that exists is not worked out then also a true prophet and the learning and studying of spiritual teaching cannot help.
But if there is a deep trust in the teaching and a deep certainty of its correctness and truth, then the power of the creative natural laws and recommendations, as taught by the spiritual teaching, can open the consciousness and create the right thoughts and feelings.
But if man simply wanders around senselessly and aimlessly during his cycle of existence, then roaring ignorance reigns in him, so that he cannot find his way to the light of knowledge and wisdom and cannot free himself from the bondage of his ignorance.
Therefore, everyone must free himself from all evils of his delusions, wrong actions, deeds and behaviour, which he can only do by learning to live according to reality and its truth, which are anchored in the natural laws and recommendations of creation.
And so if there is one teaching from which the true and righteous life can come forth, it is the spiritual teaching that has been brought since ancient times by the true prophets as the 'teaching of the prophets' or as 'teaching of truth, teaching of the spirit, teaching of life'.
The true prophets gained their comprehensive spiritual knowledge over many lives as ever new personalities and through hard and far-reaching learning and studying.
And should or could the man of today face the true prophets, then he would only meet simple and ordinary people, dressed in simple clothes and modestly dressed, living simply and just as simply, but full of compassion for their fellow men, but completely free from any belief in God and cult.
The doctrine of the spirit as the "doctrine of the prophets" or as the "doctrine of truth, doctrine of the spirit, doctrine of life" is more than 96 billion years old and is therefore older than the visible 17 billion year old matter belt of the universe, which has already passed twice, dissolved and newly formed in the sevenfold belt of the universe, which has an age of about 46 billion years.
This universe or creation Universal Consciousness will exist for 311 trillion and 40 billion years and expand until the age of 155.5 trillion years (calculated in Earth years), and then contract or contract during the next 155.5 trillion years.
Then the creation Universal Consciousness or the Universe lies dormant, in order to develop into the next higher and purer-energetic form of creation or universe and to give birth to itself as an original creation, in which no material belt exists any more.
Spiritual teaching has thus been given since ancient times, but what is most important in the learning of the teaching is not only the enormous knowledge and wisdom in continuing through all time, but all the infinite and high values that must penetrate the consciousness of man.
The values teach man to form and use his thoughts and feelings according to the creative natural laws and recommendations and also to determine his actions and deeds and all his behaviours correctly.
Through this everything really comes alive in him, and he finds to the crucial point that life is worth living in every situation and that it must be consciously used to the last breath by learning.
The teaching also teaches that man must not simply be satisfied that spiritual teaching exists on earth, because such satisfaction prevents it from being learned, studied and put into practice.
If there is only a satisfaction that the teaching exists, there is no benefit, but the danger that the learning, studying and realization of the valuable texts will be missed, and that delusions and wrong behavior will deteriorate.
If there is no learning, then no practice can arise from it, and consequently the person is not able to gather experiences in order to experience them.
So it is when there is no real learning of the spiritual teaching that, despite the great changes taking place in all parts of the world, man closes himself off within himself and opens the door to the invasion of delusions and all kinds of wrongdoing.
If nothing of value is learned and therefore nothing of value is put into practice, then no experiences and no experiencing through practice will come about, but the person becomes more and more susceptible to degeneration and degeneration, and consequently more and more delusions and wrong behaviour patterns arise.
Therefore it is of great necessity and very important to turn to the practice of learning and make an effort to get to know, understand and obey the creative natural laws and recommendations.
And nothing is more suitable for learning than reality and the resulting truth, how these are made clear and understandable through spiritual teaching, which also protects from sinking into the swamp of endless delusions when the teaching is learned, understood and put into practice.
If this happens, it also gives strength and self-confidence, which is the basis for the path that leads to self-realization and to man becoming aware that he alone is responsible for himself and for how his fate, his way of life and his love and loyalty, his peace, freedom, joy, harmony and happiness are shaped.
No religion, no sect, no faith, no woman, no man, no priest, pope, guru, sect leader, master, 'divine' or 'sublime' etc. can do this for him. For the understanding and doing and ruling in all things in a suitable, correct and righteous way according to the laws and recommendations of Creation, each person is responsible and accountable for himself alone.
But all this must first be learned, for which the spiritual teaching provides profound and inexhaustible help, if man turns to it with motivation, willingness and consciousness and makes it his most important purpose in life.
All the prophets of the Nokodemion lineage, in their work as preachers of the spiritual teaching, have energetically worked to the advantage of all those people who have turned to the teaching seriously, consciously, willingly and out of their own interest.
The fact is, however, that many people never made the effort to learn the teachings, and so did not become aware of the creative-natural laws and recommendations, if they could have learned and understood them and used them to their own advantage.
It has always been only smaller or larger groups of people who have made an effort to teach and have had good success.
But this depends on the one hand on the interest of the individual person and on whether he creates the ability to learn and study, but on the other hand also on whether he wants to gain advantages and successes in life and can enjoy them, or whether he simply lives in an incapacity and lets himself be guided by bad, negative and evil delusions and wrong behaviour etc.
But even when learning and studying the spiritual teachings, everything depends on the nature of the personal relationship to them and how seriously and intensively they are worked with.
It is also important to recognize and know that only the creative-natural laws and recommendations bring knowledge and progress, and that only if they are learned, understood and followed.
Therefore, care must be taken to ensure that a direct connection to them is established during the learning process, because only knowing that they exist and that it is possible to meet them to explore them is insufficient.
It is necessary to follow the advice that the laws and recommendations must be researched, understood and put into practice, according to their own and specific nature, because life is to be lived according to them.
And only when learning is really done and what has been learned is put into practice can insights and experiences be gained and experienced, whereby delusions and wrong behaviour of any kind can be dissolved and these continue to form no more obstacles.
The spiritual teaching to learn, study, understand and comprehend is therefore also based on the importance of being free for all true knowledge and wisdom and for putting them into practice and to fulfil the whole as the meaning of life.
If the initiative is taken for this purpose, then inevitably the factor of the fact comes that the person who learns and studies the spiritual teaching will be able to advance on the path of life and free himself from all the delusions and wrong attitudes, etc., such as jealousy, vice and dissatisfaction, hatred, unkindness, discord, unfreedom and disharmony, as well as vengeance and revenge, lack of compassion and violence, etc.
Walking on a path that is in accordance with the spiritual teachings can only be based on comprehensive and doctrinally authentic learning and studying of the creative-natural laws and recommendations.
This, however, requires careful consideration of what kind of implementation of the learned material in practice the learner is willing to accept and what part of the teaching he or she wants to base the implementation in practice on.
It should be noted that even the person who learns the spiritual teachings is not immune to taking great care in worldly matters.
But if he is really motivated and willing and decides to learn, study and put the teaching into practice, then it is necessary to be choosy about what to put into practice, because success and the goal are important, not simply transporting teaching material.
Whether the implementation of what has been learned into action and reality is carried out authentically according to the teaching does not depend on the ability to quote simply learned spiritual teaching texts, but on whether these are really understood in depth and put into practice effectively according to the creative-natural laws and recommendations.
For this it is necessary that the teaching texts are analysed as precisely as the actions and deeds that are committed and done from them.
This is of enormous significance and importance, because only through constant and thorough analysis of what has been learned and putting it into practice can the ability to develop one's own learning, studying, understanding and putting it into practice as a matter of course and to consciously and willingly take responsibility for everything.
The starting point of the entire path of spiritual teaching is founded in the creative-natural laws and recommendations which must be learned, understood, accepted and put into practice.
It is only through this that it is possible to have even the smallest and greatest experiences of success and to realize them through experiencing, just as it is only through this that it is possible to gain a reduction of delusions and wrong behaviour.
It is only through learning and studying that these consequences arise, and consequently the instructions and texts of the spiritual teachings are indispensable, whose importance is beyond question when it comes to following the path of teaching and thus the creative-natural laws and recommendations.
Many people have a great intelligence and think they are very clever.
However, the moment they are to direct their mindfulness and attention to the creative natural laws and recommendations, their thoughts and feelings and the whole consciousness become dull and dull.
For despite their great intelligence, they have not accumulated any notable positive potential of mind and reason, through which they could recognize and understand that there are other and higher values besides the material and worldly, such as the virtues, true love, freedom, harmony and humanity, sincere compassion for themselves and for their fellow men and for all other forms of life, as well as peace and all behaviour resulting from righteousness.
But besides these people there are also others who are intelligent and well informed about all the aforementioned high values, but who in their selfishness and self-importance ignore everything and remain untouched by all the knowledge and wisdom contained therein in their consciousness and in their thoughts and feelings.
They probably know the right way to put everything into practice, but they do not do it because they are deluded and think they are above it.
It is precisely in this context that the spiritual teaching is of great importance to them, for a high level of their own realization can be realized for them only through a step-by-step guidance with regard to the spiritual teaching.
This is because only the latter authentically exhibits, explains, and opposes all religious sectarian and other beliefs full of true knowledge, wisdom, and is oriented toward effective reality and its truth.
The spiritual teaching offers a model of behaviour and a source of inspiration that can be translated into reality.
Thus, learning and studying the texts of the spiritual teachings also offer the possibility of building up and living out compassion for oneself and one's fellow human beings and for all forms of life and all existence, as well as developing a strong inner certainty for this.
And the stronger this certainty becomes, which in no way has anything to do with a conviction, the practice of compassion in any form becomes more and more intense and powerful, and becomes one's own conscious experience and a truly lasting experience of it.
It is a fact that man must tame his consciousness, and so must his thoughts and the feelings that arise from them.
But this, however, must actually be done by man himself, because any hope would be false that the spiritual teaching would tame such a thing.
Truly, it only provides the material and the instructions, for in its form it is very restrained and not urgent, for man's consciousness must create the power of concentration for learning itself, just as man must protect himself from any distraction.
So he also has to equip himself with knowledge and with the power of wisdom, just as he himself has to penetrate all outward appearances of all phenomena himself.
Thus, by learning and studying the spiritual teachings, man must also acquire a higher training in ethical self-discipline, which will then also tame his consciousness and his thoughts and feelings.
But the road to this is a stony and wild one, and the exercise of self-discipline and morality must always be tamed, lest anything overflow.
But if the consciousness, thoughts and feelings are still untamed, then great caution is required, because they constantly deviate from the path and try to break out, and therefore must be consciously fought against, and consciousness, thoughts and feelings must be protected and held back from any negative influence.
