Talents are given to a person
so that they can be used for the good of all

Let’s stay with the principle of equality. In order to make the principle of equality in the law of God more understandable, in the law of love and love for neighbor, I would like to go back to the talents. The following is written about talents.
“For it will be as when a man going on a journey called his servants and entrusted to them his property; to one he gave five talents, to another two, to another one, to each according to his ability. Then he went away.
He who had received the five talents went at once and traded with them; and he made five talents more. So also, he who had the two talents made two talents more. But he who had received the one talent went and dug in the ground and hid his master’s money.
Now after a long time the master of those servants came and settled accounts with them. And he who had received the five talents came forward, bringing five talents more, saying, ‘Master, you delivered to me five talents; here I have made five talents more.’ His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant; you have been faithful over a little, I will set you over much; enter into the joy of your master.’ And he also who had the two talents came forward, saying, ‘Master, you delivered to me two talents; here I have made two talents more.’ His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant; you have been faithful over a little, I will set you over much; enter into the joy of your master.’
He also who had received the one talent came forward, saying, ‘Master, I knew you to be a hard man, reaping where you did not sow, and gathering where you did not winnow; so I was afraid, and I went and hid your talent in the ground. Here you have what is yours.’ But his master answered him, ‘You wicked and slothful servant! You knew that I reap where I have not sowed, and gather where I have not winnowed? Then you ought to have invested my money with the bankers, and at my coming I should have received what was my own with interest. So take the talent from him, and give it to him who has the ten talents. For to every one who has will more be given, and he will have abundance; but from him who has not, even what he has will be taken away. And cast the worthless servant into the outer darkness; there men will weep and gnash their teeth.’” (Mt. 25:14-30)
The man in this parable, apparently the owner of a large estate, is the Father-Mother-God. On the way to becoming a human being, God gave each being talents to take with it on its earthly journey. They correspond to the respective mentality of the spirit being, to the region of heaven, to the basic power that is the nature of the being, for example, talents from the spiritual principles of the divine Order, of Will, of the divine Wisdom, Earnestness, Kindness, of the divine Love and of Gentleness. The divine talents are aptitudes for us human beings, certain capabilities, we could also call them divine energies, that on the one hand, we should put to work for our personal well-being and on the other hand, for the well-being of our fellow man as well as for the well-being of the nature kingdoms, that is, for our dwelling planet, Earth. A part of the talents that come from the Spirit is the unity, the working for everyone and everything.
How do so-called Christians see the God-given talents? Most people, whether Catholic, Protestant Lutheran or free-thinker, hardly develop them. The masses think only of their own well-being and are satisfied with being an employee, for instance. These are people who have become used to taking orders from employers or superiors, to taking on work they have to carry out, which they then more or less do. Perhaps one or another has developed a talent, which he nevertheless has “buried,” for it serves only his well-being. All other capabilities, that is, talents, that slumber in him, he does not activate. Why should he? He remains an employee, because it is more comfortable to bear little or no responsibility and to receive instructions, which he then carries out without greater responsibility.

The employee gets his salary, which may be considerably less than the income received by the employer or superior. If the salary isn’t enough, then those “above” are watched from out of the corner of the eye and corresponding judgments are given, for example: “ambitious so and so” or “offspring of success, clambering up the ladder of success while treading on those below” or “who elbows others out of the way to climb higher” or remarks like: “... it’s easy for him to talk, he inherited the firm he heads from his parents” or “... he has connections since he comes from a ‘prestigious’ family” or – and this is usually the last thing to be noticed – “because he is honest and hardworking.”
Dear reader, let’s do an analysis of the real talents, the aptitudes, that every human being has brought, and which are in accordance with his spiritual-divine origin.
According to the principle of equality, there should be neither employer nor employee. Why this inequality? The answer lies in the fact that only the fewest understand what it means to be a Christian and many don’t even want to accept Christianity. They prefer to stay in the lower ranks and bow down to those above. Every person can do as he wants, but then, it has nothing to do with the commandments of God and above all, with the teachings of Jesus, the Christ, in His Sermon on the Mount! This is why I say over and over again: Everyone can think and act as he pleases, but he should not use the name “Christian,” because Christ has nothing to do with this world, nor with anything that is built on human egoism. A person can be Roman Catholic or Protestant Lutheran; there is only one thing against these two institutional terms, namely, the word “Christian” – for that is what these two “Christian” institutions are not.
The Catholic, the Protestant or the so-called free-thinker sees inequality as a legitimate part of life on Earth. He thinks it is nothing more than an expression of the quality of life of every individual. Just as he makes his bed, so must he lie in it.
As already mentioned, everyone can do as he wants, including those in the so-called Christian political parties. However, it would be honest and upright if those who give judgments would not use the word “Christian.”
