The Way to Christ

Preface.

Points him to his own way.

Therefore, to you who desire my confession In this context, a "confession" refers to a formal statement of faith or a spiritual testimony., I know of no better advice to share than to show you the way that I myself walk, upon which the door was opened to me, so that I have been taught without previously learning. For all art and knowledge come from God, who finds all things.

Without strife.

I have no quarrel with the children of God regarding their unequal gifts; I can unite them all within me; I go with them only to the center original: "Centrum", and so I have the proof Probam: a Latin term for a test, trial, or standard of proof of all things. If you wish to follow me now, you will experience it, and perhaps afterward understand better what I have written.

A Christian strives with no one.

A true Christian has no conflict with anyone, for through yieldedness Gelassenheit: a central concept in German mysticism referring to a state of selfless surrender and letting go of one's own will to God in Christ, he dies to all strife. He no longer worries about the way to God, but rather surrenders himself into the Mother Refers again to Divine Wisdom or the Holy Spirit as the nurturing source of the soul.—that is, into Christ’s Spirit—and whatever that Spirit does with him is all the same to him. Whether it be fortune or misfortune in this world, life or death, it is all equal to him. No misfortune touches the new man, but only the old man of this world; the world may do with him as it wishes. That old man belongs to the world, but the new man belongs to God.
