Right away at the beginning, we would like to emphasize that people are able to experience God not only in dreams and apparition. And these are not the highest form of the connection with God or with His spirits’ world when they make connections with us.

 

We would like to make clear for everyone the reason why we picked out these forms from many others.

 

We would not like to represent ourselves as interpreters of dreams or as the only owners of ancient secrets. Since people who definitely pick out one specific part of the Holy Bible without experiencing the point of God’s revelation or without experiencing those in their souls, they willy-nilly deviate from the right direction. But for stating these occurrences in the wonderful light of God’s word we must be alive to basic things. There are different types of dreams which are divided from each other in the Holy Bible.

These are:

- casual dreams,

- dreams arise from fears,

- warning or reminding dreams and dreams indicating illnesses,

- prophetical dreams and

- dreams of desires.

 

Casual dreams:

 

“For a dream cometh through the multitude of business; and a fool’s voice is known by multitude of words.”   Ecclesiastes 5,3

 

We do not really want to be engaged with these since who did not experience such dreams. These are the reflections of our fears, worries and overexhaustion.

 

We can find one more quotation which warns us not to attribute special importance to these dreams and not to let them keep us in fear.

 

“For in the multitude of dreams and many words there are also divers vanities: but fear thou God.” Ecclesiastes 5,7

 

Dreams arise from fears:

 

These are motivated by exaggerated affection and adherence, some kind of deeply close memory or experienced disappointment. We can face such dreams in the Bible at the Song of Solomon.

 

Warning, reminding dreams and dreams indicating illnesses:

 

As against the previously mentioned types of dreams there are few people who pay attention to these dreams. Through these dreams we can see our faults, deviations, the motivations of our acts and these dreams warn us many times to their expectable consequences if we keep walking to that way.

 

We just have to look up in the Book of Job at Chapter 33.

„For God speaketh once, yea twice, yet man perceiveth it not.

  In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falleth upon men, in slumberings upon the bed;

 Then he openeth the ears of men, and sealeth their instruction,

 That he may withdraw man from his purpose, and hide pride from man.

 He keepeth back his soul from the pit, and his life from perishing by the sword.

 He is chastened also with pain upon his bed, and the multitude of his bones with strong pain:

 So that his life abhorreth bread, and his soul dainty meat.

 His flesh is consumed away, that it cannot be seen; and his bones that were not seen stick out.

 Yea, his soul draweth near unto the grave, and his life to the destroyers.

 If there be a messenger with him, an interpreter, one among a thousand, to shew unto man his uprightness:

Then he is gracious unto him, and saith, Deliver him from going down to the pit: I have found a ransom.

 His flesh shall be fresher than a child"s: he shall return to the days of his youth:

 He shall pray unto God, and he will be favourable unto him: and he shall see his face with joy: for he will render unto man his righteousness.

 He looketh upon men, and if any say, I have sinned, and perverted that which was right, and it profited me not;

 He will deliver his soul from going into the pit, and his life shall see the light.

 Lo, all these things worketh God oftentimes with man,

 To bring back his soul from the pit, to be enlightened with the light of the living.” Job 33,14-30

 

 

We can see God’s grace through His word, He warns us to the lurking danger, to our blindness and to the consequences of our obstinacy. If we listen to these cautions (of course, just if we dare to confess ourselves our weaknesses and the real motivations of our acts), we can avoid lots of disappointments and we can face with our weaknesses. We can have possibilities to go back to the way that our Lord drew for us. We can find that in the Bible people got instructions in many cases. Because these instructions are not always about progressing to the wrong way but assign an aim which we must achieve.

 

Prophetical dreams:

 

The Holy Bible, as the dreams’ attribute implies, at many places makes notes about His prophets records about their dreams and apparitions which they experienced. These (most often) must have been handed over to the people, which was not an easy task. It is not accidental that the message was represented for them in pictures and they made effort to hand it over to the aimed-group as it had been visually seen. Let’s just mention Jeremiah, from many prophets, who demonstrated a future-picture to the people of Babylon of taking them into captivity by putting a yoke on his neck.

 

Can prophetical dreams exist nowadays? Does God have any prophets in the present? Who shall I believe to?

 

Certainly revelations have not stopped to be, indeed, they implemented themselves. Moreover it is important that this kind of dreams’ measure is the Holy Bible and their authenticity is integrated by bringing them to fruition. These are usually simple but the most important is that the person, who does not ask explanation from God, will not be able to understand its meaning. Anything that essentially disagrees with the things in the Bible is not from God. Apparitions and dreaming about an event which is bound to happen and its fruition do not definitely contain monumental events. They may try to attract the person's  attention to his charismas and having recognized them the person now has responsibility towards his Creator. Many people get abound prophetical dreams and messages who cannot even understand their message. However God does not reveal fruitlessly thus these people hand over information many times without having any ideas about them.

 

Yes, the role of a prophet means enormous responsibility. The person who really understands its significance that does not have desire for it. The task is truly noble but there is only one possibility to win the “wage” : hand over God’s message clearly (as it has been given) without taking anything from it or putting anything to it.

 

Dreams of desires:

 

“I have not sent these prophets, yet they ran: I have not spoken to them, yet they prophesied.

  But if they had stood in my counsel, and had caused my people to hear my words, then they should have turned them from their evil way, and from the evil of their doings.

  Am I a God at hand, saith the LORD, and not a God afar off?

  Can any hide himself in secret places that I shall not see him? saith the LORD. Do not I fill heaven and earth? saith the LORD.

  I have heard what the prophets said, that prophesy lies in my name, saying, I have dreamed, I have dreamed.

  How long shall this be in the heart of the prophets that prophesy lies? yea, they are prophets of the deceit of their own heart;

  Which think to cause my people to forget my name by their dreams which they tell every man to his neighbour, as their fathers have forgotten my name for Baal.

  The prophet that hath a dream, let him tell a dream; and he that hath my word, let him speak my word faithfully. What is the chaff to the wheat? saith the LORD.

  Is not my word like as a fire? saith the LORD; and like a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces?

  Therefore, behold, I am against the prophets, saith the LORD, that steal my words every one from his neighbour.

  Behold, I am against the prophets, saith the LORD, that use their tongues, and say, He saith.  Behold, I am against them that prophesy false dreams, saith the LORD, and do tell them, and cause my people to err by their lies, and by their lightness; yet I sent them not, nor commanded them: therefore they shall not profit this people at all, saith the LORD.

   And when this people, or the prophet, or a priest, shall ask thee, saying, What is the burden of the LORD? thou shalt then say unto them, What burden? I will even forsake you, saith the LORD.”   Jeremiah 23,21-33

 

What else could we add to it? We just must look around us. Our Lord, Jesus said that false prophets would go on behalf of Him and they have already been here for long. We cannot emphasize more that the measure cannot be anything else only the Bible. It does not matter who says what. Their essence presents themselves in acts and effects.

 

No one can qualify themselves anyhow according to having apparitions or dreams which were brought to fruition. Our Lord recognizes His prophets by seeing in them the devout humbleness towards their Creator.

 

With completeness (this is just a morsel), we cannot write about dreams, apparitions and experiences. But having experienced this graceful present of God we must give evidence of it.

 

Dreams and symbols (The workers of the last hour volume 2)

 

The last time I talked to you I led you through huge and endless fields. Today, on the contrary, I want to lead you to a very tight and narrow path where you can’t bring anything with you only your soul that long for lightness. 

Before setting out for this path, you have to put down everything that is so many times taken with you such as your human problems that load you at home. You have to forget yesterday’s inconveniences and tomorrow’s worries. You have to put down the heavy cloak of human critics and those human measuring tools which you make efforts measure the glimmering truth of this world with centimetres or millimetres. You have to put down vanity and rancour. You even have to put down that form of love which is called selfish-love. 

Because this narrow path is bordered on both sides with abysmal depths and if people carry useless things, they can easily faint down and will not get to that close gate where I would like to guide you. 

All of these mean that you have to be spirits because “the path is narrow and the gate is close and there are only a few who find them”, just because they look for them as people not as spirits. This close gate divides two worlds from each other: the world we speak to you from and the world you walk your way and spend your time. And these two worlds are totally different. 

Undoubtedly, it is not easy for men, impregnated in materials with their fixed thinking, to fit in such a world where the notions of space, time and material aren’t existing. It is hard to measure with space, time and material’s measurement that world’s things, content and values which are the world of worldly ideas, thoughts and feelings. How endlessly huge the “interjection” between the two worlds, the Biblical Lazarus’s parable speaks about it with fascinating truth and dramatic power that “they can’t go from here to there, or they can’t come here from there”.

These two worlds are totally different and it is proved enough when a spirit moves from the bodiless creatures’ world to the material world and it takes him long years to get used to those notions which are used in the world of space-time-material. It takes him years to learn those relations which he wasn’t used to. And, when a child can speak his spirit, his soul, is still so strange and new for him in the material world that he wants to touch the objects in the distance and mixes yesterday with tomorrow. 

Then, he grows up and gets used to that state more and more and becomes estranged from this gate, where we are standing now, and he gets used to the circumstances of the material world. He adopts its interests, becomes a citizen of the world which was strange for him before. He does all of these so much that he doesn't only forget his previous relations but he even denies them. And what is more, he listens to it with ridicule if someone talks to him about it. 

But, this world is our world, where we follow his spiritual efforts from, is filled with wishes and ambitions to step into space-time-material’s world to radiate our truth through this tight slit into the spirits who are captured in materials. 

We yearn for giving more, from what God’s grace gave us, to spirits who are still on earth. 

Dreams are the talking evidences how endlessly hard to make understand the immaterial world’s lightness, laws and truth with people living in the material world. That unusual state in which the spirit, living in materials, is stood from time to time to derive from our world, from this power-container to take with him power and lightness into his own daytime-self, into his own material world. 

It is very difficult to judge the truths which are hidden and they turn up into the spirits’ daytime’s consciousness by dreams and symbols.

People dream and these dreams sometimes make impressions in their souls but they forget them. It is meaningless but they get over them as people usually get over miracles and secrets which they see minute by minute, hour by hour. They get over them with no difficulty and if they can’t find explanation for them, they make up a false word or an expression for it and they feel exempted themselves from getting into their essence. 

I am taking you this area my dear brothers and, I must say, in a form of a chat I am trying to serve you to teach you how you can experience our spiritual world that is free from space, time and material’s secrets in your material world’s phenomena. I reveal the secret, at least to those extents; you will be made to be able to accept it by our real efforts, spiritual freedom and obtained abilities. 

I am going to tell you some dreams. These dreams were real and experienced phenomena. They are not made up and I am mentioning them to teach you how to count with dream-experiences as reality. My aim is to show you what we usually have to struggle in our spiritual world and what obstacles we have to strive for planting or engraving a little truth, warning, and a protective or exhorting phenomenon into the human consciousness. We really would like to help by sending messages. 

For example, if someone dreams and the subject is the following: 

He walks on a road that leads him up to a high and slope mountain. He has to call into play his powers to climb up the slippery, rocky slope by knowing if he gets to the top, there will be bright, smooth lawn and he can make progress there after relaxing that huge tiredness that he needed to climb up the mountain. All of his efforts will be in vain if he is not able to get even to half way. And, he desperately sees with sweat beaded on his brow, he has nothing to grasp, he can’t go forward and he doesn’t know what to do. He wakes up struggling and worrying. He is soaked as the evidence of the effect of the dream and it is a suggestion that he brought into his material and physical ego through his mental and ideal world’s struggle and it caused changes in it. 

The dream repeats in shorter or longer periods in approx two or three years with the same phenomena. Long time later, the mountain gets to shrink and he is almost at the top but wakes up without finishing the job. It continues until the mountain is very low and it is a very insignificant hill. The spirit finds him in the same state but now he could reach the top easily with a few steps. But he suddenly realizes there is no need to do it because there is an easy and flat way that he hasn’t realized yet and with a very little detour he can get to the bright and grassy path.

This dream seems to be an insignificant thing but there is a very deep importance behind it. 

The mountain, which is jutted out symbolizes pride. The bare rocks are the emblems of coldness and severity and the symbols of the efforts of rising up by self-power. Finally, after the efforts and disappointments of long and fruitless years, the ambitious spirit understood our world’s warning and gave up with his efforts and then he realized the path which leads him to the clearer, easier and brighter side of life.

Here you can see how hard it is to make consequences from hard material pictures to ideal truth while the spirit’s sensitivity hasn’t been developed to these. How different is a mountain as the notion of haughtiness or a rock as the inflexibility and coldness of human nature. 

I’m telling you another dream: 

No doubt, many of you have already dreamt you were travelling by a ship on a big river. There is someone with you who you love very much. The trip is comfortable. In the distance there are blossoming trees which are being stroked with spring breeze. The sunshine is emitting mild heat and you are intimately waiting for arriving into the port by looking at each other’s eyes. The ship arrives to the port and the person, who you love very much, departures with many other people but you stay on the ship and the ship goes on. You are weeping over the person, who has just left you, by tumbling on the barrier of the ship. Your heart has almost been broken in bitterness. 

The dreamer wakes up in big pain; his pillow is soaked with tears. The suggestion, which he has taken up in the ideal world, has taken its effects onto his body and caused material changes like this. 

The river symbolizes time which flows without stopping. The ship, where you are travelling on, is a massive object like your material life. The port is the same door, where we are standing now, that divides the dead from the living where the one has left and the one who stayed goes forward with bitter pain in his heart. The person who doesn’t know the ideal world he doesn’t’ either believe in a world where the things and reality can’t be measured with distance, time or material. This person doesn’t even look for it hence he can’t find it in the hidden pictures of the spiritual warning message. He can’t find the love that originates and radiates from our world to him and he doesn’t intend to strengthen his soul in advance to carry those bitter hours that are coming to him. 

I am telling you one more dream. It is sure this has happened to almost everyone. 

You are at home but the place somehow totally differs from your present earthly home. The people who are wealthy and have many rooms in their home experience this dream in a small attic or a basement flat. But it can happen with people living among modest circumstances and in their dream they have a palace with plenty of rooms, servants and everything that come with it. Well, this is the dream:

 The dreamer is at home in his decorative house. There are plenty of rooms, soft carpets, comfortable and familiar corners and wonderfully fine and valuable furniture. There are servants around him, guests are coming and among them there are some familiar faces but many who he hasn’t seen yet in his earthly life but now they are his good old acquaintances. He welcomes all of them and talks with them with pleasure about spiritual things like our things. When the dreamer wakes up, some kind of happiness is still shaking in his soul, some kind of peace and balance are in his soul. 

But now, I am not talking about this because we are only interested in how the spirit world’s truth and reality dress into objective things. 

How did our Lord and Redeemer say? “There are many places in my Father’s home.” What are these places? 

Those are nothing else but the real knowledge of the truth framed in human soul. The shelter’s equipment is not else but feeling developed in his soul like sunshine coming through windows and flowers decorate the flat are the severity and fine feelings of the soul. The shelter, that have many rooms, shows colourful developed life, feelings where he retires he feels happy and feels such crowds of thought where he spends his time comfortable and finds memories which give him good feelings. In this rich home, he welcomes familiar and unfamiliar too because by them he enters into his soul those values that are in his soul, he tells them his values with pleasure and offers them that he has the mental values, truths and the elementary particles of love and pleasure which he furnished his shelter with. 

These are the “shelters in the Father’s house”. 

In other words, this is the place where the spirit is ascended over the fight and pain of vanity, selfishness, greed and all of their chaos, where he only takes cleared, refined and balanced bright feelings and thoughts. 

What a different thing is the idea and how different it is from a flat but at that moment when the dreamer wakes up, he (his soul) has lived in the ideal world and at the moment of awakening, his brain, which has been filled up with the material world’s notions, transforms these realities, ideas and truths into material pictures and the physical human needs to see the spiritual truth and realities in them. If someone is not a spirit and he doesn’t taken off all of those things, which I drew your attention to at the beginning, yet but he wants to understand these pictures as a human then he is not able to see anything in them or he falls into such mistakes which are like yawning gulfs on the sides of this narrow path. 

People who have special spiritual build are able to stand at the gate of these two worlds and let the glimmering lightness, truths, realities, thoughts and ideas filter through their bodies and represent them in the material world mostly in the forms of symbols because the massive and palpable space-time-material world’s realities are only the appearance of things which will come to an end. 

But the truths that are hidden behind symbols don’t have ends even although the symbols as pictures come off them. These people are the mediators, middlers and mediums between the two worlds. The medium is an agent like a prism where the light of a world enters into another world, however, meanwhile it disintegrates into colours, in fact, at many times so many colours that show totally different colours as it has been before. That’s why it is needed for those people who stand on the material and human side of the gate to have proper knowledge to wrap out the truth from the colours and peel the dresses of the symbols off the ideas. 

So, they can adopt the idea without a dress and they don’t regard the dress, the word or the form as truths. We must call your attention on and on to the Holy Bible. With human thinking, it can be said, it is almost a miracle to have the Holy Bible as a highly-respected thing in the eyes of material men. It is a miracle when the people of the material world, who don’t believe or do just their faith is not live  -only made up-  yet, are with high respect towards the Holy Bible. So, this is not a miracle because you don’t need to think as a human. God covered this value from before the game’s eyes with special care for not being able to tear into pieces or defaming. 

The Holy Bible is full of symbols from the beginning to the end. The big and bright characters of the Holy Bible were, without exceptions, the mediums on the passage between our ideal world and the material world. They breathed lightness from our world and handed over to living people’s souls in the material world. 

I have already mentioned dreams, now I am mentioning dreams first from the Bible. Listen to Joseph’s dreams. 

Joseph told his brothers that: “I saw a dream. We were tying up sheaves and I saw the sun, the moon and eleven stars on the sky. All of them bowed in front of me.” Because of this dream, his brothers took a dislike to him and because of his following dream he was reproved by his father although he loved him most among his brothers. His father said:”Don’t you really think that I, your mother and all of your brothers will bow in front of you?” Jacob was a medium-spirit as well as all of Joseph’s brothers because they immediately saw the idea and the thought hidden behind the phenomenon. 

But Joseph was more than them. Joseph was a medium-spirit and a prophet-spirit in one. 

Because dreams are not the same types for different types of people. 

Listen to the dream that Joseph dreamt. It is perfect in its every single detail. “We were tying up shaves.” What is a sheaf? Wheat-stalks grow out from the ground and there are many hundreds or thousands of them tied up together in a sheaf. Human body grows out from the ground too and thousands and thousands of fragments are tied up together. The sheaves stood up as Joseph said. Thus, the most valuable parts the ears are on the top as they bow before Joseph. Just like human’s most valuable part the head, where the spirit resides, is at the topmost. 

Let’s see these two dreams. Joseph’s first dream with the shaves symbolizes that his brothers would bow before his human ego. And what happens? 

When the wonderful leading of the Providence makes Joseph a great and powerful boss in the court of the pharaoh the traitorous brothers appears before Joseph, the great and powerful boss, from the starving Canaan to save their physical lives from starvation and bow to ground before the human Joseph. 

What does the other part of the dream mean? The sun, the moon and the stars on the sky mean the heavenly part, the spirit and the soul of a man. When Joseph reveals himself before his brothers and forgives them their wickedness and hugs them crying then his brothers are obliged to bow to ground before his spiritual greatness because they can’t do anything else. 

The pharaoh was a medium-spirit as well because he sees a dream where seven strong cows come out of the river and they are followed by seven thin and ugly cows which eat up the strong ones. Later he sees a stem of wheat that has seven grain-heads which are swelling and healthy then he sees seven empty and dry grains which eat up the healthy ones. 

The pharaoh is a medium-spirit who stands in the gate of the two worlds and sees one of the world’s ideas that his soul casts in it for the other world. But he is not a prophet-spirit because he can’t solve the dream. He is not able to see inside the reasons’ world. 

The prophet-spirit Joseph who explains the meaning of the pharaoh’s dreams wraps out the symbols or the ideas and by these he saves the pharaoh’s people. And, the divine wisdom saves Israel’s people from starving by the superior Providence. 

But now, I don’t want to mention this because today we are only interested in symbols to teach you find the ideas and the realities behind objective phenomena. 

I would like to mention one more couple from the Old Testament. They are Nebuchadnezzar and Daniel. Nebuchadnezzar sees a dream and when he wakes up he forgets his dream but the thought of it makes him worry about the special dream that he feels to have an importance. He calls his court-scientists and an array of magicians but none of them are able to find out the king’s dream not even to solve it. Nebuchadnezzar sentences all of them to death. The executions have already been started when Daniel is being taken before Nebuchadnezzar. Daniel prays for his God, for his Lord whom he has never denied, who he risked his life for under the captivity of Babylon and who he believes in with his prophet-spirit’s clear seeing that he is the one who solves the dream. 

And God makes a miracle. Because it is a unique and matchless phenomenon that happens to Daniel to see the same dream as Nebuchadnezzar gets from the astral-world. 

I don’t have to say, all of the ideas are seen in different forms of symbols by different people through their own personalities’ colours. Thus, Daniel sees the same statue that Nebuchadnezzar sees in his dream which head is made of gold, its breasts and shoulders are silver, its trunk is copper, the legs are iron and the feet are partly iron and crock. 

When God presents Daniel with seeing this as a present of his faithfulness, Daniel represents it to the king and explains the meaning of the dream. 

The gold is Nebuchadnezzar the mighty ruler, the two shoulders and the two arms are the two new empires Persia and Media, the copper trunk is Greece that subjugates the previously mentioned empires and finally the two iron legs symbolize the Roman empire that rends in two as two legs branch into two directions, it will be divided into East and West empires and their falling into depravity and fusion with barbarous people are symbolized in the partly iron and crock feet. 

Daniel sees the continuity of time in this picture. How different it is from the previous symbols where time is a flowing river. How differently it is taken by different spirits that dress the same thought into different form. 

Then Daniel and Nebuchadnezzar see a rock break off a cliff by itself and shatter the statue into small pieces. The rock then gets growing and becomes a huge mountain and covers the whole world. Some parts of the statue symbolize people, nations and empires which follow each other in time. The falling rock means the destiny that can’t be stopped and it shatters people and nations and converts their history.  Finally, in the uterus of this destiny, there is the Idea, the Word hidden that arise from Israel from the root of David and it grows huge and covers the whole world. 

This rock is the same as “the stone that was despised by the builders and became the cornerstone” as the prophet says. Jesus Christ our Redeemer who descended from Heaven to shatter every kind of despotic earthly deviation with His Truth.

The inspected characters of the Bible are prophets, seers and mediators who alternately lived in the world. They lived in the ideal world in a certain kind of state of mind and in the so called proper or normal state of theirs they lived in human world. 

On the other hand, Jesus Christ, our Lord, God’s only begotten son (the Angel of Purity) was a spirit to the very last. He always spoke from the ideal, spiritual and divine world to the material world. He was always a spirit not just every now and then. For this, the truths He said came through to the material world as parabolas, symbols and formulas. Listen to Him how He speaks about the ideal truth and how He dresses up the truth with the material world’s pictures. 

The sower goes out sowing and during it some seeds fall onto the edge of the road where the birds can pick them up, some fall onto rocky fields where there is little ground and some can spring but the rest dry in the heat of the sun. Some fall among brushwood which crush them, however some fall into good ground and grow. “Some grow 30 times more, some 60 times more and some 100 times more.” 

For His disciples, who were humans too and saw the ideas and truths only in certain kind of prophetical inspiration, He explained these symbols. I am just repeating them for you. 

“Some fall onto the road.” What does this symbolize? The road is usually a place where everybody can walk on: true, false, clean, guilty, good, bad, small, big, rich and poor, bosses and tramps everybody alike. 

Where the seed falls is like human soul. Here the soul is the arable land. Those people’s souls whose souls are similar to that piece of land that is beside the road. I mean those souls where every kind of useless things of the world or less useful reads, entertainments or toys can march through apart from God’s word. They are who bring their souls only occasionally to hear about some truth. They rarely withdraw into their souls’ secret chambers to pray and think. From their souls the seeds are picked up by vagabond birds which are the useless reads, sensations, the so called “products of art” and all of those impressions that aren’t compatible with God’s truth. Although there are some seeds to be fallen into their souls but remain infertile and lie fallow. 

“Some fall on rocky ground.” There are many who hear, for example, the truths of spiritual teachings but mainly hear the interesting things in the phenomena, they grab them eagerly but hardly have “land” because their souls show interest for a short time and soon turn to somewhere else, indeed they turn against the truth that they superficially know. These spirits are made spirit-believers for a short time by the propaganda. 

“Some fall among brushwood.” Those people’s souls are the land overgrown with brushwood whose every kind of problems, troubles family cases, official matters and many thousands of these have bigger importance than they would be able to free themselves from. These problems are grown into their souls’ areas as much as they prevent growing God’s word out. Although there are some seeds to be sprung but they can’t have crop. 

“Some fall in good land.” Namely, in worked land that has been prepared up by the Providence with the plough of anguish, with the harrow of solace, with mild rain and sunshine. The seeds fallen here can produce by the quality of the soul some 20 times more, some 30 times more and there are some who 60 times more. 

If it was about our Lord’s truths, I would wish to talk about them for long but I have to approach my aim. So, I am grabbing one or two symbols. 

The Lord says: “Heaven is similar to a fishing net thrown into sea. It collects every kind of animals, pulled out to the shore and the useful are sorted out while the rest is thrown away.”

So, heaven is similar to a net. How special it is to dress this idea into this picture. 

What is the Kingdom of Heaven?

It is not an encircled area because I am talking about the ideal world. The Kingdom of Heaven is the truth of Christ. Christ’s truth was the net thrown into sea, into the endless world of souls where the truth collected every kind of souls: valuable, valueless, developed, undeveloped, healthy and unhealthy. 

Look around! Christ’s truth became a huge organization where every kind of person could get in. Christianity spread on earth and embraced every kind of men but how many are there who are really inspired with Christ’s truth or who really live the Christ-shown life? How many are there who are His? 

Heaven’s angels come to draw the net and select the valuable. At that time, anyone says in vain “My Lord, my Lord didn’t we teach in your name? Didn’t we make miracles in your name?” Then He will say: “Leave me, you doers of perfidy I don’t know you!” 

Here are the symbols. The net is God’s place; the fish and sea animals are people. How wonderfully the Christian truths are dressed in human pictures! 

Moreover He says: “The Kingdom of Heaven is similar to leaven that a woman takes and mixes into 3 measures of flour and it rises by it. You must think about God’s place and leaven. How wonderfully they are tightly affiliated with each other! These extremely different notions even have sameness. The truth, which we declare for people in the last hour, is like leaven. 

The molecules slowly take over the life-giving, swelling and fermenting tendency of leaven and hand it on the neighbour molecules and so on. Finally, the whole dough swells and it can be baked for people as bread to eat. The truth of the spiritual teaching is like tiny leaven in 3 measures of flour. It spreads slowly but more and more spirits are touched by it that slowly swell and grow under its effect and become feeding-powers for others who they are in connection with. There will be huge crowds where millions of people receive its life-giving truth into their souls. How perfect those pictures and symbols are that our Lord used and covers immortal truths. 

But the most wonderful symbol is He Himself. When He talks about Himself He never calls Him a name. Hasn’t it struck you yet He never says I am called this or that? He hasn’t got a human name. He never uses it. He is a spirit who says “I am the lightness of the world”. “I am the living bread that descended from Heaven. Who eats my body and drinks my blood that lives in Me and I live in him too. “ 

According to human thinking, it is no wonder, the uncomprehending crowd rised in protest on this declaration and didn’t find it sane or clever. 

How could people, used to material reality’s notions, understand that someone is bread what is more a descended bread from Heaven. Who doesn’t eat His body or drink His blood they don’t have lives. How would anybody be able to understand these who is illiterate in the world of symbols or doesn’t believe in those realities which are hidden behind symbols?

By people, according to common human thinking, it is no wonder; many people desisted from Him at that time. But the people who know He must be seen as the Idea, as God’s sent Son, as the Truth and as the revived Word, these people know He is not a man but the manifestation of God’s grace. And, they find it natural that He is the stem of grapes and we are the branches who grow out from Him. If someone doesn’t stay with the stem he hasn’t got life but who stays with the stem has a life and produces more and more fruit. 

He says: “I am the Path”. What is that path? 

This is a material notion. He is the Idea which you go on and get to Heaven.

“I am the Truth and Life.” He says. Yes, He is because life is only there where Christ lives. If He was a person, we couldn’t say He lives in me and I live in Him because no one can live in somebody else but the Idea can live in every spirit. 

When He talks about Himself as a man He says that “the Son of Man”, and mentions it always in third person singular like “the Son of Man came” or they did this with “the Son of Man”. When He speaks in third person singular He is always a spirit. “I and my Father are one.” 

Now you can see how many compellations He has in the Bible: Path, Truth, Life, Bread, Stem of grapes, Son and Father. These are His names. His pure spirit doesn’t wish to be named humanly. He strives for fusing with His Creator rather than separate from Him. For Him the state of a man is just a working-clothes. 

So don’t search for names behind truths or spiritual phenomena which bring lightness from a higher place. Remember! John the Baptist was asked: “Who are you?” Because they guessed whether he is a prophet or the Messiah and he, because of the urging, told that: “I am a shouting word in the desert, you must pave the way for the Lord and make His path ready. “ The shouting word contains that you must be prepared up accepting the Messiah. That is why His name is the Aim why He came to earth. 

If I look into your imaginations, I can see such pictures in your fantasies about the things I have told you so far that there is a fence or a wall where there is the ideal world on one side and there is the material world on the other side despite intending to emphasize there are no forms, extent or material in the ideal realities. These two are matched with that narrow gate where I‘ve led you in. So, these two worlds are not separated but they are together in the human soul both the material and the ideal worlds where men live in both by those notions which are formed about them. There are no people born to earth without knowing those truths or laws which he had offended against or which he owes satisfaction to. 

So, a man came to earth, brings certain aims and truth in his soul which he endeavoured to put into shape and strengthen while he was living as a spirit. When the heavenly authorities, that manage the manifestations, open the gate that he can get into earthly world then he puts that ethereal primer on with bearable spiritual arrangement, hope and confidence which he has been gifted by the Providence as helps. Then he puts his parents’ fluids on where he takes over their usual way of thinking and feeling and finally he assumes a body a heavy coat that covers and takes in every good intention, strength, fluid and ethereal piece. With all of these he enters a family that has specially settled opinion that leaves its mark on him. He gets into a group of people which general fluid covers him. He gets into a denomination that has a general fluid as well and gets affected with it. And he gets into a branch of occupation that covers him with another coat with its opinions and feelings. 

Now remember the seed that falls into wet ground and there are soils over it. The spring sun, the mild air and the awakening nature coax the germ into coming out, from the soften seed, which endeavours to get to the ground with the hidden power of life. But, there are soils, stones and obstacles so it is a huge effort for life to overcome those obstacles while it gets to the ground. It has to do rather curved and winding way whereas the germ would like best to get to the ground straight. 

The human soul is the same that is bedded in caul. The decision, the sense of missing and the spiritual ambition are as germs in it which want to develop. But it only can reach the ground through many obstacles and only can get up to the phase of fulfilment. So, when the idea sees the light in the space-time-material world, in the so called real life, which he put the human body on for, practically the spirit himself can’t recognize it. 

I am showing you examples. 

The spirit within the state of sphere can see the many shortcomings in his soul and it has to collects many-many worth to equalize his shortcomings. When he is settled in life, there is something left in his memory as a distant echo that only gives back the last syllables: “collect worth”. The rest is covered by the dust and smog of life. He just collects, collects piles of material values. Because he lost his sensitivity to spiritual things and instead of it he develops an interest towards material things and a constraint to materials.

 Collecting material values in the system based on an egoist society can’t work without hurting others. During collecting material things he gets enemies intentionally and he hurts unintentionally sensitive souls. He totally loses the sight of the aim and the direction. And when he gets to the end of his life, to this small gate and frees from his earthly body he can see that the shortcomings got bigger and there are more to make up for than there were before. 

For another spirit the echo gives a bit more back: “you must collect spiritual worth”. And in his earthly world where the knowledge and some people, who are the carriers of sciences, have so huge appreciation that the spirit begins collecting these values. He digs himself into earthly sciences day and night with ambition and endeavour. By breaking off ambitions and waking up other people’s envy, he reaches a position with much effort; he climbs himself up among those people who mean prestige by their material and human knowledge in the earthly society. Reputation and respect are around them but beyond this ring of respect there are suppressed revenge and the run-downs’ bitterness rumble and rustle so he sacrifices the earth-supplied pleasures for vain ambitions. He sacrifices a loving-heart and fully ignores collecting the worth that he got to earth for. 

When he returns here, into the world of realities and stands in front of the mirror of truth, he will see it horrified how he got back from that battlefield where he had hoped perfection or at least progress. 

Another, who treats many people viciously in his previous life, may have chances and opportunities to dispose over poor people’s lives. He was a cruel and heartless tyrant. In the spiritual world the reparation of these got strengthen in him as a goal which he put the earthly body on for. 

As a man he settles into human society and endures to give the aspiring idea elbow room which continuously moves in his soul. He will be a demagogic agitator whose hands are stained with blood and who experiences and learns at the cost of his life that he lost the goal which he came to earth for. And so on...

They are who will be lost, who can’t be helped on, who are not able to do their own jobs until the last hour for their salvation. Because they didn’t get the preconditions to it and their soil hasn’t been fashioned properly where the seeds should spring produce 20 times more, 30 times more and 60 times more. 

Unquestionable, even for those, whose spiritual world is pressed and worked enough to produce the expected crop don’t have their path smoothly paved. It is hard for them as well and can only accomplish the carried truth and idea trough painful struggles because those coats, which I have mentioned before, cause huge pressure onto their spirits in their hidden tendency and put up huge resistance against endeavouring pure and real ideas to surface because the coats are imbued with diabolic ideas. 

Since our Lord needed three decades to radiate through them, clean through them and free them from many kinds of earthly things, so even the people with fashioned spirits shiver, although the brought-idea and the aim in their spirits break through powerfully, when they see the heavy storm around their small life-boat and they are afraid of sinking into the dirty flood. 

When they see people who want to destroy them with every of their effort and want to hinder their brought-lightness to be shattered into the world, they get disappointed and they often give up the struggle and retire into their own spiritual homes and are unwilling to take part in the ferocious and impending fight. 

Or, what is more, it can happen if a spirit like this obtains a thought that this world can give pleasures too and thinks “why should I struggle and attract people’s hate? I can act as anybody else. Why don’t I use the earthly pleasures, why don’t I get the earthly people as friends instead of making them my enemies?

 The ideas mustn’t be lost! 

Providence compels them working at any cost. 

The previous who as a misanthrope retired into his spiritual home (to show you as a material picture: to the spiritual side of the border of the two worlds) Providence presents him with such a great spiritual pleasure that removes the obstacles before him. Then, he with a swelling feeling of thankful towards his Christ, who glanced at him, steps over this narrow door and works hard to scatter the lightness which was given him by God’s grace. 

The other who, bedded himself into pleasures on the other side of partition and wanted to hide into material world, the Providence treats harder for example brings a heavy blow or misfortune on him at an unexpected moment that he feels the world around him to be collapsed. 

But he rises up from the debris and finally understands what was this an answer for he got. He falls on knees before his Lord with sobbing and remorseful soul and swears to undertake everything and wants to work and do penance with all of his strength to do things as his Lord loves. And then, with increased impulse and much bigger enthusiasm he starts working, as if he wouldn’t have done any bad things, to scatter the lightness, taken from real world, with two hands to people who accept it and who need to build their souls’ homes from it. 

Earth is a hard workplace, my brothers. You, who we have collected and who we want to teach truths, ideas and every kind of techniques to, to get you closer to the truth, have to become teachers from pupils. The rest is up to you.

In conclusion, I am going back there where I started. If you don’t take off the clogs, all of the prejudices, the human nature, material and spiritual finery, malevolence and hard feelings which you couldn’t even step with onto this narrow road, you can’t be even pupils because you will be swept to the outsiders by the law. 

It is not indifferent or little to be obedient because on the one side there are uncertain future and misery and on the other side there are lightness, power, calming down, peace and glory. 

I am telling you one more thing. Through this narrow door not only the thoughts and truths can be radiate through from the ideal world to material world but the strength and power too. Since, what is the life-giving spirit of the material world? It is the power that filters through from ideal world to material world. 

Look at those great spirits who lived on earth to bring power to people who stood at this gate! They could do miracles!

Look at Moses who brought the mighty pharaoh to his knees by that power that was given him by God from the ideal world. He also divided the sea into two parts in front of the escaping Israel and got water from a cliff. 

Look at Elijah who defeated 400 Baal-priests on his own when he asked fire from Heaven and that fire burnt the offering on the altar and the water around the altar by the power that radiated into him. 

With this power the widow multiplied her oil and flour and raised from the dead her son. 

Look at Daniel who unbrokenly remained faithful to his Lord, to his God and could shut the lions’ mouths in the den by this power. 

Look at our Lord Jesus Christ who cured the leprous, made see the blind from birth, raised Lazarus from the dead, whose body had already started decomposing, by that divine power which He brought and radiated into this material world. 

With this power He lifted the earth up and connected it to Heaven, bound satan’s hands and feet and redeemed the world.

Be His Holy name blessed for these!
