6766 The knowledge of the passage through creation without proof....

February 19, 1957: Book 72

Having travelled the earthly path in vain is the worst fate for the soul.... which is about to become free from material form.... for it cannot walk the earthly path again as a human being, it cannot repeat this stage as a human being at will but has to walk the path through the whole of creation again, which takes an infinitely long time and causes the spiritual being unimaginable torment again because it is once more bound in hardest matter which it cannot break. If people knew about this fate, i.e. if they had proof of it, they would, driven by fear, do everything to counteract this fate. The evidence is lacking because such compulsion would be of no use for the spiritual. But knowledge goes to people.... And again, it is up to their will whether they believe the knowledge they receive or not. They should live their earthly life responsibly, they should experience that their life on earth can have a positive or a negative effect.... However, belief in it will not be forced in any way, but the fate of those who don't believe it and live irresponsibly will be dreadful but cannot be averted because then there would be no possibility at all for the spiritual being to attain freedom again one day. It is also understandable that people doubt what they offer each other as intellectual knowledge; and such doubts are also justified because no human being can fathom intellectually what was and will be before and after his death. But knowledge which comes to people in an unusual way should nevertheless be considered, and its probability should be accepted.... But even such knowledge is not a compulsion for the human being, because it can also be rejected as a 'human spiritual product'. Nevertheless, it should be examined and not immediately rejected.... because in the stage as a human being he also has abilities at his disposal which he lacks in the bound state.... He can think and judge and consciously call upon that power that created him for clarity. But people live thoughtlessly and misuse both their freedom of will as well as the abilities they were given for this earthly existence, and therefore they have to accept a dreadful fate after their physical death because they did not use their earthly life as a human being for final liberation. For as soon as the end of this earth has come, a further development in the kingdom of the beyond, which was still possible before, will also be eliminated. People who live on earth in the last days therefore also have the privilege of being able to receive spiritual knowledge which previously remained hidden from people.... For in recent times connections from the world of light to earth have been established more and more frequently, which serve such a transfer of knowledge.... Furthermore, beings of light are also embodied on earth whose task it is to instruct people about God's plan of salvation, about the end and about the destiny of that which passes over earth as a human being.... And these therefore also give light to people, they enlighten them about the correlations and also about the near end. And they admonish and warn them and also present to them the fate which awaits them if they let earthly life pass by unused. But all this has to happen without compulsion of will, yet every human being has the opportunity to live consciously, because every human being is also able to think and because no human being remains without warning and admonition. But the time allotted to people to become free from the form is limited.... And whoever therefore does not make use of it will again be bound in earth creations for an endless time.... He was on the verge of his perfection, which would have brought him entrance into the kingdom of light, and in free will falls back into the abyss again.... Nor can he be spared the fate of renewed banishment, for every being is considered according to its will.... Wherever it turns, that will also be granted to it.... But he who believes also lives his life consciously, and he will succeed in freeing himself from the bondage and move into spheres of light where there is eternally no more bondage, no more tormenting fetters....

Amen
