About dreams and three dreamed words
5th March 1842, 3 – 6 pm
[1] Dreams are mostly empty foams, with no more importance than spring snow, which millions of years ago fertilized barren, bare and life-naked areas of the earth. Nevertheless, there is a huge difference to be made between the dreams of that people who have no greater value than their dreams themselves; and then again the dreams of such people who are in My favor, love, mercy and in My Word and act accordingly out of love for Me as much as it is always possible for them.
[2] See, My dear little children, but so that you also completely see such difference in yourselves, I will enlighten it a little more for you. And so, take note:
[3] If a man of the world dreams something, such a dream is vainly nothing else but a confused view of the most trivial impressions of the world, which the soul of the outwardly turned man during the day took up in itself and thus contemplates this same trivial stuff again in sleep. But if the things of the world have no value in reality in and of themselves, how much less will their value be in the first place, if they occur in an empty soul as threefold empty dreams!
[4] But it is quite different with the dreams of a human eager for My Word and for My Love, who has already mostly turned inward. His dreams are then no longer visions, but perceptions of the inner spiritual states, far removed from all natural-worldly sloppiness of the senses and the fantastic illusion of the soul based on it.
[5] The present dream-trilogy should quite rightly be counted to such an inner perception, and this for this very important reason – because every word of the Holy Scriptures, especially from the prophetic part, is in itself such a "trilogy".
[6] For this is the first part, which is the sense of the letter, like an "auction," whereby the old, but much valuable, good, noble commodity is given to the highest bidder.
[7] But he who has purchased this commodity for his heart, which alone contains only the right coin for this commodity, namely pure love of Me, has created in himself a new "state," which is the inner order of spiritual life, just as the outer, secular governmental state is a legal and orderly union of the peoples under a leading head.
[8] But who is the leading head of this internal state? – To answer this should hardly be difficult for you anymore, since I Myself am this leading head. But if I am the leading head in this inner state through My love, mercy and compassion, there is infallibly a spiritual connection between Me and every such "bidder" who offers the highest bid for My old goods. But what is this connection, this tear-proof bond of eternal life? Behold, this is the "church," namely, the true, living church of man, in which first the true meaning of the Word is revealed, fully enlightened.
[9] Who therefore wants to reach the inner understanding of My Word, which is the Scripture of the Old and New Covenant with all the later revelations up to this hour, he must, as this "trilogy" has indicated to someone in spirit, infallibly find himself in this "main auction" as the highest bidder, otherwise he will never be able to explore the true inner meaning of Scripture.
[10] For the fully correct realization of the inner, spiritual sense is a living realization. But how can anyone reach this, if he does not first enter the inner state of the spirit through the true "auction" or "highest bidding", where I am as the sole, guiding head, ruling with love, leading with grace, seeking with mercy, and calling with the living humility of the heart!?
[11] See then, "auction" is the first, most necessary condition for receiving eternal life out of Me, which is, in the most actual sense, the living church in man. Because the true church only becomes alive by becoming one with Me. But who has become one with Me, he will yet also infallibly
possess in himself eternal life and everything that is endlessly the same, in the most perfect sense, and so also the revelation of the sense of Scripture up to the third or most inner heaven, in which everything unites in the sole, most pure love for Me.
[12] Now see what this „trilogy" says! But note especially what the "auction" comprises of! For without these, no-one will get into the said "state" and still much less into the living "Church"!
[13] For verily, verily, I say to you: Whoever does not offer there all his worldly treasures for My "old goods" will never receive them, neither here, nor in the beyond! Therefore the rich will purchase these goods with very much difficulty, while the poor will receive them very easily; because for these, they are offered for sale for free. The poor have long since been chosen by Me to have the "Gospel preached to them" – while at the same time it was said to the rich young man: "Sell all your goods; divide the money cashed for it among the poor and follow Me, and you will find and have a treasure in heaven!"
[14] This treasure I have shown you today! Whoever wants to win it, will hence surely also know what he has to do! The world with all it’s innumerable follies, which are full of Satan's inwardly hidden wickedness, will never acquire this commodity! Amen.
[15] Observe such things faithfully in your hearts out of love for Me, if you want to live! Amen.
