7335 Mental blindness....

April 14, 1959: Book 78

No light can shine on the spiritually blind unless he asks for his eyes to be opened so that he can see the light that shines on him. Therefore, the request for this is a prerequisite, which arises from the will to be allowed to see the light that has been withheld from him for so long. Therefore the human being must feel his own blindness, it must be a nuisance to him, he must be aware of the lack of being allowed to enjoy himself like sighted people, and he must therefore want to become sighted. Then the eye will also be opened to him, he will be allowed to receive light, for My light of love from eternity denies itself to no-one and finally to a person who desires it. But as long as people live in spiritual blindness, as long as they lack all knowledge about spiritual things, about spiritual correlations and about their own relationship with Me, their God and creator of eternity, then these people will not be aware of the fact that they are inadequately formed, that they are spiritually blind, instead, they will only consider their earthly abilities as important in order to successfully live their earthly life.... and they again only see earthly success and are satisfied when the world offers them what they desire. And since they themselves don't feel inadequately formed they also don't ask for what they lack.... for the light of realization.... and they remain blind in spirit. Thus the will has not yet become active, but without it the supply of light, of truth, is fruitless, for although they hear such through their fellow human beings they do not recognize it but only hear words and do not grasp their meaning. And the will again cannot be forcibly directed, it has to decide on its own. But through sermons they can nevertheless be made aware of their spiritual blindness, because it is sometimes possible that their hearts will open to such a sermon and then the will can be kindled to receive more light. For such people cannot be influenced in any other way than by conveying My word, and even this can still be fruitless but should nevertheless not be omitted, because the blind person should first experience that he is blind.... For what he has never known before he does not lack. And so the light shall be brought to every man, and the benefit of light shall be explained to him.... He should be told what other people can see with their healthy eyes and that it is also possible to give him the healthy eyes if he wants this himself.... Spiritual blindness is so serious because it has an effect in the kingdom of the beyond, for the human being enters that kingdom after his death in profound darkness if he has not succeeded in at least acquiring a glimmer of light on earth, in which he would then also know his way around the spiritual kingdom better. But the completely blind will hardly reach the light on the other side because they will then resist every spark of light which touches them; after all, they don't yet know the blessing of light, and the bliss of being able to move in spheres full of light will also remain denied to them until they enter a circle of light themselves and allow their eyes to be opened there, which, however, is much more difficult for them than on earth. For this reason the light shall already be brought close to all people on earth, and anyone who accepts it will do well, for then the darkness will have left him and he will never ever need to fear being devoured by it, for the light will then shine for him forever....

Amen
