- You make me feel the joy of being with You, Lord. Permeating - full of tenderness Your closeness.

 What did You say to Me then?

+That I am here to fortify you for the tasks that await you soon.

 Put everything before Me and trust. I will take you in and do what you ask.

 Come and enjoy My Love.

 - What will be there, with You, since Your touches so delicate make so much sweetness?

+There will be a continuous ecstasy much stronger - full.

 - What's going on here when You're so close? Why the feeling of fainting, dissolving of the body?

+If I unite with your soul, the body dies - ceases to exist in your sense. And indeed it is.

 Total union is synonymous with the total death of the body. When I fill your soul, everything bodily in you and around you disappears. You are only with Me without obstacles and limitations.

 As long as you live in the flesh, My touches are very gentle, for man cannot meet Me face to face and still live in the flesh .

 - The Scripture says so.

+And this is indeed the case and that is why ecstasy is associated with the feeling of dying.

Thu 13 XI 86, 8am

+The parable about the prodigal son [Luke 15:11-32] tells about spiritual consolations and their lack, to whom I prepared a wonderful feast and gave generously, and called people to share his joy.

 It is needed at the beginning of the road. Then, there is normal cooperation with Me, relying on Me in everyday life and the peace that comes from feeling safe with Me.

 Then My helping hand is seen at every stumbling block.

 This awareness fills with reassured joy, and there is no longer any need for much fuss around being with Me. You don't seek validation from other people.

This is what will happen in the days following the feast given for the returning son. Then, even more calmly, he will reach for the goods that surround him with Me.

But there is a further stage, where there was a son constantly staying with Me - co-owner and co-host. It is enough for him to know and be sure that everything is his. So he should not demand gifts and feasts.

 And he shouldn't envy the party I gave the younger one.

 As a co-host - heir - he should rejoice with Me and bestow the found brother.

 If you are constantly so close to Me that you build the Kingdom together with Me, then this intimacy with Me and this cooperation gives you an unshakable and unwavering certainty of what you have in Me, regardless of the hardships and everyday duties. It gives you peaceful joy, for you know that you are My child and My heir.

 You also know this when I seemingly leave you alone on My farm. Then you do not need boisterous games and the admiration of others to confirm what you have.

 - But then you also give moments of great joy with You.

+These are moments of rest during work to draw new strength.

 There are also holidays when we rejoice more. They are needed precisely to gain more strength for further work. Then, however, you are not a guest - we prepare them together and rejoice together. Everyone in the household - the whole family. You are at home.

 Being all the time in Me, you are also at home. We live together in the house of your soul. And this house is huge - you get to know its new spaces and finally you find out that it is My house.

 This is union - when there is no division between yours and Mine.

 The proportion of greatness between you and Me then does not matter - there is a full exchange of love and union in Love. It is My grace that you receive because I love you and want to make you as happy as possible.

 - In this world?

+In this world part and vision and consciousness full after crossing the threshold.

 J 8:12

 And behold, Jesus spoke to them again, saying: "I am the Light of the world. Whoever follows Me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life."

 - What world do I live in?

+Mine. Where the body is doesn't matter - what matters is where the soul is.

 - I haven't had breakfast yet, although it's almost ten o'clock and I don't feel hungry.

+You had a fast based on positive motivation - we talked about it yesterday.

 That is, you were so absorbed in being with Me that the rest ceased to exist for you. Even the natural needs of the body.

 This is positive asceticism. There is no renunciation - there is only filling up with Me.

- Can it be that in his spiritual development man goes alone?

+If he wants to go without Me, he goes that way. But this does not mean that he is completely independent and self-reliant in his way.

 I watch over him from afar and create opportunities for choice. He still has that chance. If he rejects them, he falls more and more under the protection of My adversary and separation from Me increases.

 If, on the other hand, he acknowledges Me as his Lord and turns to Me, I am with him.

 Feelings can be deceiving. Someone who rejects Me for his independence loses it by falling under the protection of Satan. Someone who turns to Me for protection is sometimes put to the test to prove his faithfulness even when he does not receive spiritual consolations or external facilitations.

 It seems to him that he is alone, but then he is surrounded by special love and care.

 What else do you want me to explain to you?

 - Stripping yourself. After all, a man does not become naked. On the contrary, it clothes itself in Your grace, Love, in You. He throws off ugly clothes to put on beautiful ones. Isn't it? And he doesn't do it alone either.

+But he decides for himself, and then I help to take off the old clothes and put on new ones.

 There is no vacuum. The decision to depart from the values ​​of the world is caused by the decision to accept spiritual values. Not the other way around.

 If someone removes the existing values ​​and leaves a vacuum, it is filled with something worse, because evil is aggressive. As in My parable of the swept-out room [Mt 12:43-45].

 Therefore, spiritual development should be guided by a positive motivation, not a negative one. If you fill yourself with good, evil disappears because there is no room for it.

When you go towards Me, you must face Me and not what you are leaving from. Such steps with your head turned backwards are dangerous because you don't know what you're getting into.

 If a person really wants to follow Me, he must turn completely to Me: think of Me, not of what he leaves behind, and not even of himself, because then he loses sight of Me.

 This link with Me is always trust, entrustment. They must fill the soul at all times, especially when values ​​are exchanged. Confidence makes this exchange I perform in man.

Wed, Nov 12, 86, 8:30 am 

+Why do you care about the behavior of My servants.  After all, they do not prevent you from doing what belongs to you.  I Myself teach you and I am your role model.

There is someone I have placed in your path to be your guide.  Take an example from him when it seems to you that following Me is unrealistic, because being a Man, I was also God.  There are other people worthy of following whom you may not know or may not notice.

 But even if they weren't, should that affect your faithfulness to Me?  Shouldn't the evil that you perceive, not mobilize your zeal even more to compensate, to correct, to make amends?

 Satan tells you: why do you need this asceticism, when others indulge themselves and surround themselves with luxury?  And injects poison into your heart.  I showed you, what a picture of a world shrouded in evil looks like.  I showed you this symbolically and it mobilized your zeal.  Now that I have shown you the true symptoms of this evil, why is there so much confusion in your heart?

Learn to recognize whose promptings are and respond to them as I did when I was tempted.

 Pay no attention to what others around you are doing and close your heart to doubt.

 Although you are united to Me, I have left you in a situation of choice and I have carefully watched your heart to see which way it will turn.  Your freedom still exists, and your love and loyalty will always be voluntary.  That is its value.

 You want Me to be in you and that your reactions are Mine.  This desire and turning to Me should be your constant attitude.

 Then I will be able to live in you and your everyday life will become sacred.

+One should not talk about someone's bad behavior if it does not eliminate this evil, but on the contrary, it will popularize and expand it.  It is better not to reveal if the only fruit is scandal.

Mon,  10 XI 86, 11:35pm

+I have revealed to you a part of the Truth that cannot be expressed in terms of the human mind and language.  Although great minds touched the surface of this Truth, but then the cognition was done with the soul, not with the mind.

+Science can and should lead to mystic, and it often has.

 But it must be an honest, humble, wise science, not boastful, superficial and vain.

 After all, the purpose of science is to know what is My work.  By getting to know the work, you get to know the creator, as long as you are modest enough not to be blinded by the success of the cognition leading to treating yourself as a creator.

 Do not analyze what I have made known, or you will become entangled in your limitations.

 Accept My lights as they are and nothing more.

 Seeing the hazy image of My Truth, do not try to draw what is unclear , because you will distort it and it will become a caricature.  The image of the Master cannot be corrected by a child, because what will come of it?  (...) And what comes out...?

Mon, 10 XI 86, 7:20am

+ I have loved you with an everlasting love.  Your staying with Me should be based only on faith.  Pure faith does not have to refer to sensations and consolations.

 It is based on will and trust in My Word, in My Love.

 This trust moves the will, which forces you to do many things that are difficult, for Me, for My Love, because you love Me and want to please Me.  Do what is good in My eyes.

 The stronger your love and determination to follow Me, the less role spiritual consolations and external facilitations play.  Great love matures in difficult conditions and proves itself in them.  You need this test as a fortification.

 The scale of your difficulties shows the degree of your perfection.  Therefore, accept them calmly and serenely.  They are matched to your capabilities and the needs of your further development.

 I know you suffer from distractions and obsessions.

 You have to accept them, put them before Me and trust in My power - surrender to it.

Sat, 8 XI 86, 8:30am 

- Great days came after returning from confession.  Thanks to You.

+I promised it would be.  You are now beginning to understand the reality and power of My words.  If you would accept them with more faith - not so much as a promise, but as an existing reality - their operation would be more perfect.  Then you would live - although still in the world - already in My Kingdom.  In the Kingdom of the Spirit.  In what really is.  What is Truth and True Life.

 - Who is my spiritual father?

+My lips, my hands and my heart beating among you.
