2370 Utilizing the stream of grace from immature spiritual....

June 16, 1942: Book 32

A measure of grace is available to the human being during his earthly life which enables him to become completely free as soon as he is willing to let this grace take effect on him. Thus, every human being can already attain the state of light on earth if he wants to, yet he himself determines the amount of grace he receives through his will. God's love sets no limits, but the human being himself does so through his attitude towards Him, which now increases or decreases the influx of grace. And so his state of light also depends on how the human being desires and utilizes the grace he is entitled to. If divine grace is now left unutilized, it nevertheless exudes itself as strength onto the works of creation whose spiritual substance is not yet in possession of free will and is felt beneficially by these works of creation. divine grace is the emanation of God's love, and all beings willing to receive it will feel the influx of the divine emanation of love as strength. Thus the rejection and non-utilization of divine grace on the part of the human being will result in a faster higher development of that spiritual substance, which is not yet in the stage of free will, for this equalization is God's will. The spiritual substance is now pushing towards its final embodiment on earth as a human being in order to make extensive use of the flow of grace at its disposal for its liberation. Thus the spiritual substance, which is still in bound will, effectively participates in that which is intended for the already more mature spiritual substance as soon as it does not utilize God's gift, and this manifests itself in a faster reshaping of the external forms, in faster passing away and becoming.... God takes account of the will of the bound, which is now ready to serve and therefore strives for the stage of free will. He takes it into account by giving the beingness the opportunity to reshape its outer shell more quickly.... which now appears again in increased utilization of everything the human being needs to lead his life. Thus the human being himself unconsciously gives the spiritual being surrounding him the possibility of a faster higher development in the form, but this is always only the result of the willingness of the spiritual being to serve and such was again unfolded or increased by the power of grace emanating from God. And therefore, in times of spiritual depression the spiritual in the form will always strive more eagerly for its final embodiment because it pushes towards the flow of grace which is guided into creation by God but not utilized by the beings of free will....

amen
