Another new light in a new light

25th October 1841, afternoon.

[1] See a house, it is newly built, on the roof a stone, in the chamber a stone and in the cellar a stone. Who walks on the roof, to him the stone will be in the way and will hinder him to go forward. But who walks in the chamber in the dark, he shall hit hard against the stone, that he shall bear a great sorrow for it. But he who finally walks in the cellar, which is full of darkness, he will fall over the stone and will smash his whole living face against the hard stone and will be full of broken legs in hands and feet and will no longer be able to see, nor grasp and hold, nor stand, walk, and proceed freely.

[2] But he who has ears, let him hear; and he who has eyes, let him see. and it will be in none more of staying. Whoever has reached an open field will not turn back and will not care about any of the houses anymore.

[3] For whoever confesses Me is to confess Me openly in spirit and in all truth, free without house, shelf and roof; because I have developed a great disgust against all houses. Therefore no more house, since each is more and more a house of death. But you know where is the dwelling of life, which alone will exist eternally. Therefore search not and say not: See here, see there; but within you comes the kingdom of life, the kingdom of heaven, the eternal dwelling-place of the Holy Spirit!

[4] Woe to all the houses that are full of stones, full of darkness and full of gloominess, in them dwells the spirit of death; but life is free in Me and therefore it must also be in you eternally. Amen.
