1585 Grace.... Spiritual vision.... Blissful state....

August 27, 1940: Book 25

It is like a revelation when the human being allows the divine grace to take effect in him, when he pays attention to the influx of the divine spirit in his heart and all earthly burden falls away from him. The soul detaches itself from the body's shackle and accepts the spiritual gift from above. It looks into the spiritual kingdom, it lives in a different world, and what it receives is living, utterly true spiritual knowledge. It is its nourishment and therefore indispensable for its spiritual wellbeing. And so it remains the most glorious gift on earth to be granted this grace, and if the human being desires it he will have overcome the obstacles of life on earth, for he will never relinquish this delectable gift for earthly pleasures. He will never want to distance himself from it again once he has gained an insight into the kingdom of light. His previous earthly path had lacked light despite earthly pleasures, for they had never completely satisfied his longing. But now all suffering has become bearable for him, because the heavenly Father's love compensated him a thousand-fold and offered him a far more glorious gift than Earth will ever be able to offer him. And yet very few people strive for this most precious gift. Their souls must first attain a degree of maturity which allows them to perceive these glories consciously, since a still very earthly-minded soul lacks the sensitivity for spiritual glories. The spiritual kingdom could be visibly opened up, but the soul would perceive very little of it because the thick layers still surrounding the soul will prevent it from gaining an insight into the spiritual realm. And so, this happiness-inducing state can only be experienced by people who have already dissolved their covers, whose heightened sensitivity also enables them to recognise what their physical eyes cannot see. This ability can be developed to the point of clearest vision, it is possible for the soul to see through everything of a material nature and only behold the spiritual substance, and therefore nothing will be a secret for it anymore, it will be able to behold even that which is deeply hidden, and the human being will live with a perceptive heart if he has so shaped his soul that its spiritual eye can see everything and impart it to the person. You will only understand the grace of such conscious immersion in the spiritual kingdom when you have entered this kingdom yourselves, devoid of all covers, radiant and aglow with the deepest love for your Creator, Who has prepared the most glorious things for you and wants to bestow them upon all His children....

Amen
