0549 Preparation of souls by the powers beyond....

August 17, 1938: Book 12

May the name of the lord be praised for all eternity.... So receive today an announcement, which the lord wisely dresses in a form that it is well understandable for you.... A special task of the spiritual beings is the preparation of the souls for their spiritual activity, and those powers which the lord has appointed for teaching activity in the beyond work undauntedly. What is to be conveyed to people is, as it were, given by the lord Himself, for the spiritual beings only continue to carry out the divine will. They are the connecting forces from the beyond to this world, and their activity consists of continuously announcing God's will to people on earth who are particularly receptive to it. And they do so in such a way that they influence people's thoughts, transfer spiritual knowledge to them as it were and constantly stimulate such a willing person to continue receiving.... For there are inexhaustible areas which it is the task of the spiritual beings in the beyond to open up for the earthly child, which they gladly and eagerly fulfil out of love for the divine saviour. In such a connection all those again try to make themselves felt who carry an unsatisfied desire to bring souls to the lord.... who are also connected to earthly people in a certain way and thus bear a kind of responsibility for their souls. If such spiritual beings can now communicate with people, then a path has been taken that is infinitely successful for the children of earth.... However, people often deprive themselves of this extraordinary favour.... the spiritual beings then have a difficult time. They want to give and rarely find a child who accepts these gifts and adapts to the type of communication or proclamation.... Sober earthly thinking will always destroy incipient works, and spiritual experience is so distant to people that they are simply not able to stand up for it because they do not understand it or do not want to understand it. God let an extraordinary power work at all times, and this power caused that on the one hand a hunger for spiritual nourishment became perceptible in man and that on the other hand this could be satisfied through the will of man.... and thus the will was the cause that the bridge was built from the beyond to earth.... that suddenly the human being was not only able to think earthly but that a completely new spiritual experience also made him receptive for an activity in the beyond.... Although it will now always be the task of the individual to cross the bridge to the beyond as often as possible, a realm has been made accessible to him which is unfathomable outside of such a spiritual connection. The human being demands to know, and he is completely free to fulfil his desire.... but it will first be examined to what extent people's real free will is predominant. Once a spiritual being has established the connection it must then, of necessity, be active in order to keep the human being's desire alive.... to allow the questions to arise in him which it is the task of the spiritual beings to solve and which are intended as instructions for all those to whom spiritual knowledge seems more desirable than earthly wealth and earthly wisdom.

Where the interest in such questions has awakened, the spiritual hunger will no longer diminish.... the human being will try to satisfy it and feel unspeakably well in doing so, for he is already receiving the heavenly food, the bread of life, which is the lord Himself.... He will be satisfied with food prepared by the angels of God themselves and given as refreshment so that the human being will not tire in his spiritual labour, which is the most important thing on earth. This activity of the spiritual beings is ordered by God Himself and is again a labour of love for the children of earth. The beings undauntedly try to influence people and thus take possession of the souls which they now form according to their wise realization.... They try to set these souls a task and motivate them to fulfil it, and thus they contribute towards the soul's ascent into spiritual regions so that the work on such souls.... influencing thoughts.... becomes increasingly easier for them and even finally the state can be reached that the human being recognizes this connection with spiritual forces as the only true purpose in life and does not let any opportunity pass by to cultivate it, and thus the activity of these spiritual beings in the beyond is crowned with success and the earthly child is completely reshaped in spirit and soul....

Amen
