5497 The redemptive path of the sentenced spiritual....

September 30, 1952: Book 60

The sentenced spiritual shall be redeemed from its judgement.... everything that is still bound, that has not yet reached the original state of freedom, is still in judgement, and it remains in it until the power of love bursts its fetters.... until it redeems itself or allows itself to be redeemed through love.... When, however, love liberates the spirit from a bondage, from a fetter, then this fetter must have been put on the spiritual by something that opposes love, by hatred and unkindness, that is.... thus by the one who is devoid of all love and therefore is the adversary of God, Who is Eternal Love Himself.

Once upon a time a complete free spiritual being emerged from God, a being who was created in highest perfection and possessed light and power in all abundance and were freely available to it. It had emerged from eternal love, and thus its original substance was love.... Now, love also guaranteed fullest freedom and freedom in turn had to be able to develop in every direction.... And this one who was able to think, want and act freely also had to be able to distance itself from God, and it distanced itself from God by turning itself into the opposite, into a being who turned all the divine characteristics, which were positive, into the negative and who thus became God's adversary. The reason for such a wrong will was traced to arrogance, because the being felt excessively strong due to the unlimited receipt of power from God. This being, however, no longer used this power according to the divine principle of love, but did so in a God-opposing sense instead.... It created beings in great numbers whom it certainly brought forth from within itself through its might and its freedom of will but who no longer possessed a freedom of will since its will created them in accordance with its/his own loveless thinking and wanting.... The beings were in bondage to him and yet, because they had emerged from God using His power, they were God's creatures as well.... But God's love took care of these creatures: What was created with an absence of every love was permeated by God's power of love.... Light and power, realization and freedom, that is, were given to the intrinsic beings; however, now the free decision of will was also demanded of them, according to which they could remain in their free, light-filled state but could lose it as well....

(30.9.1952) The intrinsic beings, who now turned to God's adversary again in free will, also lost their realization and their power with this decision of will.... For divine love could no longer flow through them because they rejected it, i.e. openly resisted the power from God. They therefore entered a state which could not be called free, for the power which was now available to them through God's adversary had to be used by the beings according to his will, to act lovelessly.... Therefore they were in a certain judgement and subject to a power which allowed its will only to be applied and forced the intrinsic beings to act according to the same will. It was bound, by their own fault, that is, and therefore also had to endure the misery and torment of a subjugated being. But the love of God followed the lost ones.... The love of God devised a way out for the enslaved spiritual beings.... Their might and power was stronger than that of God's adversary, for where the latter acted in blind hatred and wrong thinking, God worked in love and wisdom and He devised a plan of return for the spiritual beings who, although still under the adversary's control, were nevertheless wrested from his power, insofar as God shaped these spiritual beings into creations of the most diverse kind, that His will of love seized the spiritual beings whose will of course was still turned towards the adversary, but made this will unfree....i.e. that God prevented them from being obedient to His adversary. He bound the will and determined the intrinsic beings to do what God wanted.... The spiritual beings entered a state of compulsion, free-will activity was impossible for them, but activity according to the adversary's will was also denied to the spiritual beings; on the other hand, in the state of constraint they slowly developed upwards.... they were forced to carry out constructive activity and thus to integrate themselves into the law of love from eternity, which always results in an upward development. True, they were still under a judgment now because they were deprived of their free will but always with the aim of the redemption from the bound state, once, and from the power of the one who is without love. But the last aim can only be reached by receiving God's love. The spiritual beings must allow themselves to be permeated by it without resistance so that, aglow with love, they will now recognize the Deity and long for it and strive towards it with all of their will and all their strength. The beings are then in a state of freedom again, they are no longer under a judgement, they are full of strength and light through love, they are neither bound by God to do His will nor under the compulsion of God's adversary's will.... They can use their own will now, and this will, being a result of love which now fills the beings completely, is bound to be always the same as God's will, so that they now move entirely within divine order, that their wanting cannot be any different from the one of the divine order and will use the strength and light for blissful activity for God and with God.... that they now can participate again in the redemption of that which is bound, that they turn their love towards that which is still under judgement and thus influence it in such a way that it feels the desire for freedom within itself and then also slackens in its resistance against God.... Who responds to every such impulse by easing its condition by loosening the fetters, by always allowing the external form of the still bound spiritual substance to become softer and easier to dissolve and thus continually help the bound one to once again attain freedom. Releasing and redeeming is the mission of all spiritual beings who are already in the light, who are filled with love and therefore cannot help but constantly give love, to bring help to the spiritual beings who still suffer in bondage and can only attain beatitude again when they are free, like they were in the beginning....

Amen
