Fatherly advice
8th August 1842
[1] So I want it, and my foundation is always love and eternal benevolence, and all my ways are full of light. Therefore you have to pay attention to this, otherwise I still take my favor from you today to the extent that you are not to receive anything from me, except as far as the main work is concerned, and even of that no more than six sheets a week, of which then except for you and Ans. H.-W. nobody else should read anything more than at the end of the week!
[2] But what is it that you should observe? – So listen, there are the following three points, and these are:
[3] No. 1 you shouldn't have a hot breakfast for your physical health and even more for your mental health, and certainly not with your housewife, who, in an extremely annoying way, calculates everything to a pint! – I don't need to tell you more.
[4] Likewise, for the same reason, I also want that you should no longer eat the three meals a week at this woman's table at noon. Because you are my servant to announce my eternal kingdom, that is my love. If you are also nothing from yourself, you are nevertheless all of my love and mercy in my name. – Whoever invites you to table in My name has Me Myself in you at the table.
[5] But have you never felt in you how much it has pressed me all the time, when you, especially in the last time, now also pressed, took food at the table of the woman who would like to acknowledge me and you with a little more respect only when I would like to let grow through you on her garden trees bare thalers and ducats in great quantity?
[6] Now that you know who is sitting at table with you, avoid the table where I am not well pleased. Understand this and do accordingly, and my grace will remain for you until the end of your time on earth to win my love for ever. Otherwise I want to do to you, as was already said!
[7] But the table at which I sit down with you must be a lovable one, just like with my dear Ans. H.- W. – But if you would only eat bread on the three days, then it will be better for you than a calculated dish of the most tasty food, about which pure monetary speeches are made instead of my word. – See, that's the first point!
[8] No. 2: As far as the communication about the sun is concerned, which I from today to you and through you also to the Ans. H.-W. will begin to give, it will only be read by the others when it has been completed. Otherwise the stomach of the spirit will be overloaded by the sublime, and this very highest food will then be enjoyed as if it were common everyday food in a stupid magazine. But just as no spirit is satisfied by the silly magazine dishes and thus becomes even alive, so it would also be with this My word about the "sun", so it would immediately become common everyday food.
[9] With the "sun" I give a great light. In fullness and totality it will shine through and illuminate everyone, while, enjoyed as a single ray, it wants at most to tickle the wit, but by no means wants to enliven the spirit and illuminate its dungeon – in what sole intention I only give this greatest light!
[10] That is why I will only add the blessing at the end and not send it in advance! – That is the second point to be considered! – Everything else can be read every day. In the meantime, everyone would be advised to read "The Fly", the "Grossglockner" and the whole "Saturn", because there are many points that were inadvertently swallowed in the first, single-beam reading they have aroused the curiosity of the understanding in the few readers more than the true, living thirst for My love in the spirit!
[11] All these things must be observed, otherwise I do as I have said. Who then will force me and who will be able to force and control me?
[12] No. 3: Give it to good-hearted J.D., who is also a brother to you and a friend of Ans. H.-W., declare that he may also take part in this meal of my love light. And I will give him a cheerful heart and will transform him into eternal life, so that he shall see, taste, and feel no more death from now on.
[13] For I have looked at his heart and have found honesty and righteousness in it. And so he should now also get my living love light and should eat my living bread at your table in the word of life, which is my love!
[14] Let him do it as much as he can and when he can. May all things be highly blessed which he will receive!
[15] Believe Me, now I tell you: I have a great and well-fed love for this man. Therefore I will also show him from now on how dear he is to me.
[16] You ask me why only from now on and why not sooner? – And I tell you: For love! Because I am reserved before the little ones so that they are not frightened of me when I call them. But if I see the right time, then I also call them, and they hear my voice and understand me, following my call. Therefore I have only now called this my man so that he should take the fullness of the blessing for his heart from my loving father hand.
[17] You don't have to refrain from communicating such things! My dear Ans.H.-W., but you should do this and keep your front door open for this friend every day, as he has done so far. And My blessing will not be withheld from him. Amen. Understand this all.
