0943 Unused earth life.... conscious work.... state in the hereafter....

June 2, 1939: Book 18

It is of incomparable advantage for the soul if it is aware of its earthly task and now strives to the best of its ability to fulfil this task. If the human being imagines that the unused earthly time triggers the most bitter self-reproaches at the end of earthly life, this will have to be an incentive for it to work diligently on itself, for the human being creates his own state in the beyond. He will always have to bear the consequences for his way of life.... and can create an extremely beautiful life for himself in the beyond to the same extent as, on the other hand, an agonizing, unspeakably bleak state can be his fate, and this likewise through his own fault. And yet, the father in heaven only requires His earthly children to practice love.... All people should find love for each other and only live for each other, so that in this love they will also love God above all else and sing glory and praise to Him for all eternity.... For where love lives, there man will also connect intimately with God, and the earthly change will also be blessed through love, for these children are close to the father in heaven and their state of soul is light and clear. And if a person consciously strives to improve himself, if he consciously appeals for God's grace and consciously fulfils God's will constantly, the soul's state can easily be brought to maturity. For the human being has recognized his purpose on earth and will now never go through this earthly existence uselessly and irresponsibly. He has found the right path which leads to the height, to the eternal homeland....

Amen
