Moving Away from God → Rebellion of the Soul → Spiritual Age -7
What happens in the soul?
The person has seriously lost the person’s inner freedom and begins to experience a conscious rejection of God and that which reminds Him of His will. Internal hatred towards the Church and the truth, constant sarcasm and contempt for the sacred appear.
How do you live?
Rebellion can remain hidden under an external religious practice or manifest itself through reasoning that justifies separation from God. The person accepts from faith what coincides with the person’s way of living and rejects or relativizes what questions the person.
The prayer
Prayer can be abandoned or retained only to seek protection or some benefit. The soul no longer wants to place itself before the Good Lord to listen to His will and allow itself to be transformed.
The great danger
The truth, instead of being received as a help to return, can begin to feel like a threat. The person begins to internally defend the direction they have taken.
Signs that may accompany this age
• Inner hatred towards the Church and the truth
• Constant sarcasm
• Contempt for the sacred
• Great resistance to conversion
• Constant justification of one’s own behavior
• Selective or ideologized religious beliefs
• Possible external practice with internal indifference
• Abandonment of prayer or use for self-protection
• Conviction that the soul do not need to change
• Loss of inner freedom to choose the good
A phrase to remember
“The soul no longer just lives in chains: the soul begins to defend the soul’s chains.”
Where does it lead
If resistance continues, rebellion stops remaining primarily internal and can transform into active Rebellion.
