There are times when everything seems easy. You breathe …

There are times when everything seems easy. You breathe freely and you feel life is smiling at you. Then there are times when nothing seems right. You are depressed and irritable. Well, there is a simple explanation for this. When the spirit descends towards matter, his fiancée, he brings her his life, his strength and his light, and matter, receiving these vibrations, comes to life and renews herself. But as soon as the spirit moves away and goes on his travels, his fiancée is alone again and weak. Let us take the following example: if you repeatedly move a magnet towards the coil of a dynamo and move it away again, this movement produces an induction generating a current in the wire of the coil, and this current can subsequently be converted. And this also happens within us, because the spirit enters and leaves alternately. When he enters, the current flows through your being and you feel enlightened and strengthened. When he leaves, the current is cut, and you reach a state where you feel indecisive, lost, and with no enthusiasm for life. But do not be down-hearted, because the spirit will return and the Kingdom of God will return with him. So long as the coming and going of the spirit alternates he cannot leave us for ever. One day he will return and in the meantime we must continue our work so that we may welcome him with new possibilities.
