8276 Teaching in the afterlife requires truth....
September 18, 1962: Book 87
Once you have entered the spiritual kingdom and only a small light can shine for you, then you will know how necessary it is to be in possession of the pure truth, for every error will darken the light like a shadow, and no radiant light will shine through you until you have completely penetrated the truth.... Thus you will also need guides over there who will supply you with this light, who will stand in the truth themselves and also be able to instruct you in it. And until then you will not be able to carry out the delightful work over there yourselves of giving light to other souls, for you first have to stand in truth yourselves before you are allowed to engage in a teaching activity which makes you unspeakably happy.... Every erroneous opinion still darkens the sphere around you, and you can be grateful if you don't need to enter into darkness, for then you won't know the cause of the darkness and therefore won't try to remedy it either. But if you have already let the light of truth shine in you on earth then your entry into the beyond will be truly blissful, because a brightly radiating light will receive you, because you may now dwell in a sphere where all burdens fall away from you, where everything lies before you in clarity, where you may now distribute what you possess, because you can show many spiritual treasures which you acquired on earth through love. For love also places you into the state of pure truth, and if your life on earth was a life of love and all deeper knowledge was alien to you, it will be imparted to you in a flash upon your entry into the spiritual kingdom. And if you live a life of love on earth then you will also easily be able to recognize error and your thoughts will be turned towards the truth.... No wrong spiritual knowledge will burden you in the kingdom of the beyond and cover the light, for only pure truth is a true light, which you will recognize after your death. Therefore I Myself try to convey the truth to you on earth already, for to know the right knowledge is already bliss, which increases when you can impart your knowledge to other souls because love impels you to do so. And therefore even the souls in the beyond, which are still weak in will, eagerly accept the truth from My mouth when I instruct you, because they are allowed to participate, for I will not deny Myself to any being which desires to hear Me Myself. Light must become everywhere where My adversary still seeks to spread darkness. He is the lord of darkness, and his endeavour will constantly be to withhold the pure truth from people but to make error and lies accessible to them, and countless people depart from this earth in a lightless state because they did not resist the darkness, because they did not desire the truth which would certainly have been supplied to them if the desire for it had been present.... It is about the soul's fate in the beyond.... Only love will earn it a blissful fate, because love also guarantees the entrance into the kingdom of light, where the soul can now be active for its own happiness by carrying light into the darkness again itself. Yet the battle of darkness against the light will not cease, and the human being's free will decides the victory.... In the last days, however, it will be particularly fierce because the adversary does not want to lose his followers, but the light will expose him and his activities and he will use all means to keep people in darkness.... The fact that I Myself fight for the souls and time and again kindle a light for them so that they will find the path to Me, Whom they will also recognize and learn to love in the light, is understandable, for My love wants to help them attain beatitude, and My love therefore wants to repeatedly convey the pure truth to people and uncover and correct existing misguided teachings. And I will always point people to My commandments of love, I will always admonish them to live a life of love, because then only they will be able to recognize the truth and their state of light will increase, so that they will then also end their earthly life in a high degree of light and love and enter My kingdom, where they will then be blissfully happy in the light and also be able to radiate it into the darkness again....
Amen
