7163 Various blessings of the divine word....

July 10, 1958: Book 76

The unusual gifts of grace you have already been offered are beyond your knowledge, and it will only become obvious to you in the spiritual kingdom what measure of love you received from Me during your earthly life. Not every person has the same level of realization but the same can be offered to every person, therefore only some will ever be able to penetrate profound wisdom, whereas the others certainly hear words, they also have the best will to understand them and yet cannot grasp the profound meaning which is hidden in every word which I Myself convey to you from above. Therefore you can certainly be in possession of a comprehensive spiritual knowledge but the effect on the human being's soul will or can be completely different, depending on the soul's degree of maturity. And this, in turn, is determined by the degree of love the human being kindles within himself.... But if the fire of love in you humans were equally great then you would all already be in a blissful state on earth, for the knowledge inherent in you now would make you exceedingly happy and let you approach the end of your earthly life full of hope. But you cannot gain this 'realization' with your still lacking love despite the greatest knowledge which is conveyed to you by My messengers on earth. And yet, you should be extremely grateful for this knowledge, for as soon as it merely prompts you to practice love, to strive for perfection on earth, it has already fulfilled its purpose, and you will nevertheless attain this happiness one day, even if not on this earth.... but you can never ever get lost. The will alone to put yourselves in possession of this knowledge is proof of your willingness to fulfil your earthly task. And 'willingness' always ensures 'success', for it is already a detachment from My adversary and a turning towards Me which will never be useless for you. And thus people to whom you impart My word will be able to ascertain quite different effects on themselves, they will react differently and their souls will be impressed differently.... But not everyone's understanding of the meaning of the words will be the same either, because My word allows for such a multifaceted explanation, which only an already very spiritual person will be able to understand. However, it first has to be offered to you humans in such a way that you are able to grasp it with still insufficient maturity of soul, so that even then you will already recognize a meaning and then also be able to lead your way of life in accordance with this meaning. And if you are already somewhat advanced in your development, then you take another meaning from the same word again, and you are happy to be able to expand your knowledge with the same gift, which you could only partially understand before. And thus your understanding of it grows with increasing maturity, you penetrate My words' spiritual meaning ever more deeply, the knowledge makes you ever more happy, and you now strive ever more eagerly for your spiritual perfection in the realization that it only gives you brightest light and deepest bliss.... (10.7.1958) For just as ever-widening fire radiates ever brighter light, so will the spiritual light increase with increasing degrees of love until the change of being is finally accomplished, until the original being is reached again, where My ray of light of love completely permeated the being and therefore it also stood in fullest realization.... But then you will also know that at the time of your earthly change it was not possible to convey exhaustive knowledge to you, for you lacked the understanding for it. And yet, what you receive from Me as My word completely corresponds to the truth. It is only offered to you in a form that you can grasp it and thus are able to grasp the initial reasons or correlations which enable you to think for yourselves and thus also demand your own assessment. You must acquire all further recognition or understanding for deeper knowledge yourselves. It cannot be given to you because it is closely connected with your task of earthly life: the transformation back to love, without which there can be no entry into spheres of light and no beatitude. Thus your intellect is not the decisive factor as to how far you penetrate spiritual knowledge, and the most simple-minded person can harbour far more inner wisdom than a 'thinker' who is still weak in love, which is why the effect of My imparted word will also be completely different for the people to whom it is conveyed by My messengers. For depending on the person's degree of love his distance from the world will also be.... which can very easily exert a negative influence and thus also impairs the understanding for My word.... You humans should know this, and then you will also understand why you are sometimes overwhelmingly seized by My word, while it then rushes past your ears again, although you belong to the willing ones who want to listen to Me and also take My word to heart.... The degree of love is always decisive and this very often depends on your attitude towards the world, which will nevertheless approach you again and again as long as you are still in the midst of the world. But once you have experienced the bliss which a deep insight into eternal secrets has prepared for you, then the desire for repetition will also become ever stronger and the change to love will certainly take place in you, for the world cannot offer you anything which outweighs the bliss of spiritual realization. And therefore people don't know how meaningful a life of unselfish love is and how many beatitudes they can create for themselves if only they shape themselves into love. And this will always and forever remain the greatest and most important commandment: "Love God above all else and your neighbour as yourself. "

Amen
