1612 Connections from the beyond to earth.... directly and mentally....

September 15, 1940: Book 25

The threads that are spun from the beyond to earth all bear the stamp of love, for only where love has become active can a connection be established between the two worlds. love is therefore the first condition in order to be honoured by God for receiving His word. Where connections are now established by people who must be denied all love for their fellow human being, where therefore only a spiritual expression of strength is expected for the purpose of satisfying earthly thirst for knowledge, the guarantee of truth can never be offered there, for people are now approached by spiritual forces which correspond to their own state of soul. These have no ability within themselves to be able to instruct people truthfully. They give according to their immature knowledge and thereby very easily lead people astray, since they likewise lack all knowledge. But if the human being is inwardly shaped through loving activity such that he is receptive to truth, then truth will also be imparted to him by precisely those beings who know the truth and distribute it to anyone who desires it. And marvellous successes could be recorded on earth if all people who are active in love would consciously hand themselves over to the good spiritual forces. However, many connections from the beyond to earth are thus only unconscious to people in the form of mental transmissions which are recognizable by the fact that these people's feelings and opinions correspond to the truth which is visibly conveyed to a consciously receiving earthly child.... with the word of God, which is proclaimed to the world again through divine will in this form.... Human will is decisive for such a direct, externally recognizable mediation, and this will is rarely mustered, which is why mediations of this kind can only rarely take place, yet this rarity cannot be cited as evidence of an abnormal process. A will that subsequently declares itself ready for spiritual activity can only be accepted if all preconditions have been fulfilled, which also characterize a certain state of maturity. A person's thoughts and actions determine the extent to which they are in harmony with divine will. There are not always externally recognizable characteristics which determine God to choose a person as the bearer of truth, however, the first prerequisite is always that the human being completely surrenders himself to God, that his soul longs for God and that this longing renders all own will obsolete, that the human being therefore wants to make divine will his own and that he now offers himself to God in deepest humility. And thus he is suitable as God's instrument which only ever wants to and will carry out what God demands of him.... thus God Himself can work on earth through His instrument, yet people are never inevitably induced to believe through such activity, but again the human being only recognizes divine activity in it if he is of good will, thus likewise strives towards God or seeks God.... God wants to help all of them and cheer them up in their endeavours, He wants to give them guidelines and let them feel His closeness, He wants to impart strength to them and thus shape the relationship between the earthly child and its heavenly father more intimately so that the distance is reduced and the human being reaches his goal....

Amen
