There is an exceptional writing that is quasi-familiar (for now) - "The Great Gospel of John" (non-canonical).
This is, in fact, an inspired writing or a text written under divine dictate by Jacob Lorber in the 19th century.
This gospel comprises an impressive number of volumes and a series of exceptional information.
Authenticity
What givesan indication ofauthenticity to the reader is that Lorber's writings contain in a coherent, rigorous and full of wisdom form.I information whichhe had no way of knowing in his day, and it was investigated andknown many yearslater. This fact makes it obvious to us that his writingscan contain aseries of authentic elements, or, even, the whole writing is authentic (as, moreover, many people with a special spiritual training have said that it is).
Also, for those who still have a certain reservation about this gospel, we suggest that they study it and appreciate the fact that it was impossible to invent such a quantityof information.
The "great gospel of John" is, indeed, great - it has about 10 volumes with many pages, part of which is currently verifiable, but it was not verifiable when it was written.
In fact,everyone's good spiritual feelingwill react positively, feeling that whattheyfind here is true and as a form in whichtheinformation is said is appropriate and worth reading.
Whatever the origin of this text, its reading is truly instructive...
We leave totheinspiration of the true spiritual seeker what he will believe about this spiritual gold mine and we present now only a very interesting fragment that bears the name " The Midnight Sermon ":
"
Jesus: [
...]
Every other form of calm is a stop to the forces of life, a real death; and inasmuch as they are not reactivated, these life forces withdraw! Understand?
Laziness banishes every opportunity to do something for others; it is basically nothing more than the will that causes men to work (only) to satisfy their own selfish desires and needs.
⇒ the Lord said:
"
Who has made the long hike on foot and finally reaches an inn, does not have to immediately go to rest.
It is much better to do some small activities, and the next morning, at dawn, he has to wake up and start again on the road and then, all day, he will not feel any fatigue. In this way, the longer he prolongs his journey, the less he will feel fatigue!
⇒ But if, barely arriving at the inn, tired after a day of walking, he throws himself on a bed and does not wake up until the next day at noon, he will then hit the road with his legs stiffened and his head will hurt.
You will have to abandon the journey, tired and eager to rest; it may even be that, seeing desperately that no one is helping him, he lies down on the side of the road!
⇒ He who seeks to reach a high level of agility of the hands or fingers in order to attain mastery in a certain art, will fail to do so if,
under the pretext that he wants to achieve perfection, instead of practicing incessantly, he puts his hands in his pockets, walks all day, so as not to tire his hands and fingers, being afraid of hurting them;
his hands will thus become totally unfit for the art to which he aspires!
⇒ Indeed, with all My unlimited Wisdom, I could not predict the moment when such an artist could become a virtuoso! For this, my dear friends and brothers, I repeat to you:
⇒ There are only the fruits of tireless activity in God (that is, in the direction of good n.n.) .
⇒ Put your hands on your chest and you will see how your heart beats incessantly, day and night!
The life of the body depends on its activity, and if the heart stops, it has ended with the life of the physical body!
⇒ If the stopping of the physical heart is definitely the sign of the death of the physical body, the stopping of the heart of the soul is the death of the soul.
⇒ The heart of the soul is called love and its pulsations are expressed through the intense and true manifestation of love.
[...]
⇒ And, you see, it all comes from a continuous activity, never from a state of laziness.
⇒ Do not believe that I have come to this earth to bring peace and rest to man. Oh no! I have come to bring the sword and the war!
⇒ For men must be stimulated by terrible sufferings and troubles of all kinds, otherwise they become like fatty oxen, which bend down, waiting for eternal death.
⇒ Troubles and suffering act in man just like fermentation and eventually give rise to spiritual awakening.
⇒ It can be said, of course, that needs and troubles can generate anger, vengeance, assassination, jealousy, hardness of heart, and persecution.
It is true, but though all this is evil, they are nevertheless preferable to rest, inertia and laziness, which do neither good nor evil, and which are a state of death.
[...]
While a powerful sovereign, even if he is tyrannical, incites his people to be active and full of life, in order to avoid the tyrant's punishments and suffering.
And if the tyrant exaggerates, eventually the people will remove him, in order to free themselves from such pains and sufferings. (...)
⇒ There was then silence, and no one uttered a word, for all were meditating, finding more and more luminous the truth of those who had been told.
⇒ Finally, Matthew ended up saying out loud:
"Tomorrow, at dawn, this teaching about activity and rest will be written on a separate plate
Under no circumstances should the world lose such an important teaching." And when the day came to pass, Matthew kept his promise. This teaching has thus long been preserved and transmitted in Samaria by Jonael and Jairuth.
But with time, it was deformed, little by little and eventually disappeared completely.
For as long as it was known to the people, it was called the "Nighttime Sermon."
