7820 Power supply.... love-willingness.... truth....

February 8, 1961: Book 82

The ascent requires strength, for a soul without strength will never reach its aim. However, at the beginning of its embodiment as a human being the soul is without strength, for it first has to develop love within itself and possess knowledge of a God to Whom it can pray and appeal for strength. If the human being is particularly willing to love then he will also quickly attain this knowledge, because love is the reason that he will be taught from within.... that he will therefore have right thoughts as soon as the human being is able to occupy himself intellectually, i.e. once he has matured to such an extent that he thinks and draws conclusions himself. Moreover, in his youth he is mostly taught spiritual things, even though he is not always offered truth. But he becomes.... as soon as he is willing to love.... soon have a good sense of discernment for the spiritual thought material which is offered to him. And he will also seek the bond with God of his own accord and then also receive the strength to ascend to the height. Anyone who does not establish such a bond, who is in no way willing to love, will only live a purely worldly life, all thoughts of a God or an earthly task will remain distant from him, or he will chase them away if he is encouraged by his fellow human beings to make a statement. Thus he is without strength and always remains on the same level, he cannot ascend because he lacks all strength to do so. But it is up to him if he has no spiritual progress to report, for his free will must determine his bond with God and his unselfish activity of love, he is not forced to do so.... And there is no other help for him than that love is preached to him again and again, than that he is repeatedly pointed to a God to Whom he will one day have to answer.... And if truthful knowledge is conveyed to him, then it is possible that it will not remain without impression, because only truth has the right effect on the soul and because through truth the human being can also attain a right image of God Himself, the creator and sustainer of the universe, and then the desire can also arise in him to unite with this God and creator. Only truth has the power to influence the human being in the right way, although free will remains with him. And therefore it is extremely necessary that pure truth is conveyed to people and that these.... as soon as it is conveyed to earth by God Himself.... must also be made accessible to people, for it alone can still bring salvation to people whose hearts are too unwilling to love to come to the right realization on their own and seek the bond with God. But this is necessary because the human being needs the supply of strength from God in order to ascend and reach the aim. And it is a great blessing if a person is able to pray correctly.... which, admittedly, first requires faith in a God Who can and want to help.... A right prayer will always earn the person strength, and the supply of truth can also cause the person to pray such a right prayer.... And then he cannot get lost either once he has found the right bond with God; then he will not remain powerless but will always be allowed to experience God's love anew, Who does not want to lose any soul and therefore does everything to help the human being attain the right faith, which then is also a guarantee for a close bond with Him and for a safe ascent to the height...._>Amen
