1952 Procurement of goods from spiritual regions....

June 14, 1941: Book 28

It is possible for every human being to rise into spiritual regions if his will strives to do so. He will probably not succeed easily at first and it requires a certain amount of practice, which in turn is necessary to test the individual's endurance and patience. However, for those who persevere there are no obstacles and the spiritual realm opens up to them in every way. And once he has made this flight, he will inevitably be drawn there again because the spiritual spark within him constantly urges him to unite with the spiritual beyond the earth and because that is where his true home is. Nothing material is taken over into those regions. What is earthly remains behind, just as only spiritual good is received.... but that this spiritual good is allowed to come to earth is a great favour of God, which only few people can measure. The spirit returns from those regions with the richest blessing, it returns with a treasure that can also be passed on to other people. It only requires a certain willingness to participate in the spiritual good from above. Spiritual good wants to be received spiritually, and until a person can decide to separate himself from the earth and its goods, until he can completely detach himself, it is impossible to impart this good from those regions. Although the fellow human being can receive it without any special preparation, it will only become effective if the separation from the earthly is striven for first, otherwise it will only be heard with the ear, which remains without any effect and meaning for the human being's soul. When spiritual substance is conveyed to earth a state of complete detachment of the spiritual from the body must have occurred, the spirit must be able to rise up unhindered and leave the earthly behind. It will now be able to absorb all impressions of the spiritual realm and thus return to earth with abundant treasures. But to what extent he can make what he has received understandable to the soul depends on the will of man and on the work on his soul. It must be shaped in such a way that it is receptive to the wisdom which the spirit within wants to impart to it from that kingdom. The receptivity is again a favour of God, which man has to ask for, which he therefore has to strive for by asking for the divine power for it and for his part lives as God wants it to be able to give him the power. Thus the gift of being able to receive spiritual possessions will not come to a person arbitrarily, but he must have consciously or unconsciously made himself worthy by fulfilling God's will and now become capable of receiving spiritual wealth. The will to become receptive and worthy is already a significant step upwards, for then the human being also requests the strength from God for it and he can now be seized by divine grace. He will easily succeed in sending his spirit into those regions, and likewise the soul will become increasingly more able to receive what is imparted to it by the spirit, so that the human being can become aware of what he has seen through the spirit. This is a process which is of utmost importance for the soul's higher development, which is an immeasurable grace from God and entails immeasurable blessings for all people who strive to ascend, i.e. who have the will to reach God....

Amen
