The spiritual decline is so obvious that it only requires some attention to recognize the necessity of God's help. It is not just indifference or a spiritual flattening of humanity, which would be tantamount to a spiritual standstill, but it is more a resistance to every influence of spiritual forces which want to help people to mature their souls. It is a blatant rejection of divine forces, a fleeing from the realm of good spiritual currents and therefore an extremely significant step backwards in spiritual terms. And therefore humanity is in the greatest spiritual danger. But God does not leave them to their self-chosen fate but He uses all means to make people aware of their dangerous situation and to move them to make contact with the good spiritual forces so that they can receive help from this side. And this is currently the most important task of the beings of light, to gain access to people's hearts. For only then can a higher spiritual level be reached in humanity, provided that the beings of light can assert themselves and thus the teaching forces can constantly influence the earthly people entrusted to their care. It is only a question of time how the spiritual world will manage the spiritual higher development.... In other words, without the intervention of the eternal deity, eternities could pass before people's thinking would change, since people believe that they have made great progress in recognizing things that lie beyond earthly life. However, recognizing the eternal deity does not require a particularly well-developed intellectual activity, but only a kind, loving heart. The latter, however, can only be found in isolated cases and consequently people are standing on a dead centre.... they seek to develop their intellect further and further, and this leads to the opposite of what should be achieved. The human being is inclined to throw everything overboard that only leans on spiritual activity. He rejoices in his intellectual thinking but cannot achieve the slightest thing with it unless he opens his heart at the same time, i.e. pays less attention to his intellectual thinking and thinks and acts more according to his feelings. Only then will the strength grow in him, and only then will he recognize the frailty of what was previously presented to him as truth. Only then can the spiritual depression of humanity be remedied. Through God's intervention people's thinking will be changed, for what the heart has already recognized will now also be affirmed by the intellect, and then it will be easy for the beings in the beyond to introduce people to the right knowledge, for they act with divine approval.... they carry out the teaching activity and it merely depends on the human being's will that his spiritual low is remedied....

Amen
