What you think and say shows that you are

The person who lets God act within him, by actualizing the eternal laws, lives in full inner contentment more and more. He becomes meek and humble at heart. His nature and expression become similar to the love of God. His feeling and thinking become selfless love. His words are then kind, just as his nature has become. The thinking and acting of such a person are based on the divine love, because his feeling and thinking are selfless love. The words and behaviour of that person are then based upon these selfless feelings and thoughts.

People who think just of themselves and of their immediate surroundings are egocentric. They are often hard-hearted when their desires and thought patterns are not fulfilled. The motives for hard-heartedness and intolerance are the human feeling and thinking, the ego of the person that has put itself in the centre of the material life.

People whose spirit-consciousness is very strongly restricted and overlaid live more in the body-consciousness, that is, they are body-oriented. Their way of feeling, thinking, speaking and acting wants to make up for their lost divine wisdom through an intellectual life. Since they are innerly impoverished, all their thinking and striving consist in displaying in the world what they no longer possess due to the shading of their soul, namely the divine wisdom.

The world-oriented person is the body-oriented one who thinks just of himself, of his interests, and acts accordingly. His nature is generally hard-hearted. He is frustrated and is rougher in his bodily structure than those people who aspire to inner wisdom. He is extremely touchy in his reactions, when his conceptions and his field of knowledge, upon which his whole pride is based, are called in question.

Everybody betrays his feeling, thinking and acting through his facial expression and his gesture, through the movements of his body. So what the person feels and thinks affects his whole attitude. The spiritual body, the soul, has magnetic fields. The soul, which is the book of life, registers the positive feelings, thoughts and actions, as well as the negative life, the selfish behaviour. Both ways of living are reflected in the person.

The selfish person is moody. His mood may develop even into brutality. He wants to be right in the end in everything he thinks and says. He struggles for "his" right, because justice is shaded through his egocentric life. Accordingly, his intellect is the criterion of all things and is the master of his ego.

The selfless person who lives in accordance with the divine law, whose basic principle is selfless love, is meek and humble. He is not dogmatic. He will give, explain and love, by turning the other cheek when his neighbour defends his own opinion. This means he will not dispute with him, but will let justice run its course, by knowing the measure of all things and communicating to his neighbour as much as he can understand. He will leave him his free will in thinking and acting. He will not remain silent when injustice is done. He will speak and act lawfully without, however, overtaxing his neighbour or delivering him up.

If the soul-burden of a person is similar to the one of the fellowman who wants to influence him, both the soul and the person will receive what the fellowman sends out in the form of opinions, conceptions and desires. One receives from the other, because he thinks and feels similarly, because his energy-body vibrates like the one of his fellowman. So he adopts the opinions and conceptions of his neighbour and becomes an imitator. People with strong egocentric inclinations, who are materially oriented mark and shape their surroundings according to their will. They impose their will upon those living in their immediate surroundings who submit to their will. Only those people will submit to their neighbour's self-will who, in their feelings and thoughts, vibrates similarly to the one who wants to shape his surroundings according to his will.

A fine bodily structure shows noble traits; the person has a noble, selfless behaviour. His bodily rhythm is harmonious and balanced. This shows in his harmonious gestures. His whole being radiates an inner symphony of divine peace and deep stillness. Such a person accomplishes everything easily, lively and harmoniously, for he is far from his base self. He knows and lives his true self. His whole being is balanced. The bearing of such a person bespeaks a noble disposition, his features are beautiful. His feelings and thoughts are pure, because his inner being has become pure. His words are selfless, not offensive, but supported by selfless love.

Such a noble person does everything from within, because his nature is noble and kind. His life is orderly and his attitude irreproachable: He is morally impeccable. Thus, the feelings and thoughts of a person are what he radiates and his structure. 

If you dislike the characteristics and gestures of your neighbour, his talking and acting, his facial expression, his disharmonious and provocative way of speaking and you become irritated by them, examine why your neighbour annoys you. Recognize yourself in your annoyance, for then something similar exists in you. When you become selfless and oriented towards only the good, the divine, then the powers, the treasures of infinity become manifest in you. The inner fullness, your spiritual consciousness, will then vibrate increasingly. It will arrange and will bring you everything you need and beyond that. Look first at the beam in your own eye and remove it, so that you can correctly recognize the splinter in your neighbour's eye and can help him also to recognize it and remove it. Only when a person has conquered himself and not just speaks out of his own correspondences, but draws and gives from the wealth of his experience, from what he has lived and gone through, can he be a good, selfless teacher and servant for his neighbour.

Activate in yourself all the aspects which you appreciate in your neighbour, which are pleasant and which you would like to acquire, by fulfilling the eternal divine law, the Inner Life. All positive powers, the fullness are within you. So make your inner being radiant by ennobling your feelings, thoughts, words and actions; then you will become what you really are: beautiful, noble, free, pure and powerful. So recognize the ideal image in yourself. Imagine it. Know that you are perfect and strive for this perfect ideal, the perfect being within you, by ennobling your thoughts, refraining from thinking negatively of your neighbour, recognizing the good in everything and affirming it, thus feeling and thinking kindly.

The person who strives daily to see the good in everything, whatever the appearances may be, gradually work out the spiritual aspects which God has breathed into him: love, harmony and peace. The one who contends with his neighbour contends with God, thus burdening his soul. For every feeling, every thought, every word and every action are registered by the soul. Positive powers illuminate and spiritualize the soul and the person. Negative feelings, thoughts, words and actions burden the soul. They shade the soul and the person. The consequence of all negativities is then harshness, brutality, fight, destruction and still more. The worldly-oriented person belittles what he sees outside his consciousness. He judges his neighbour or looks enviously at his fellowmen.             

People who have conquered themselves are wise, not intellectual. They draw from the divine power, from their broadened consciousness. They speak from the truth. Spiritual people are disciplined and serious. However, the really enlightened people are also cheerful, happy and harmonious. Their inner light is the radiation of selfless love.

The person radiates what he is - either human or spiritual. So know yourself.
