0485 Faithlessness.... obstacle....

June 26, 1938: Book 10

Nothing is more detrimental to people than a perpetual persistence in faithlessness. Not only do they lack the strength to be spiritually active but they are also deprived of the opportunity to strive for spiritual realization at all. How should this endeavour be awakened in such people if they only concern themselves with purely worldly things, if they have no faith whatsoever in a mission, which is the real purpose of their life on earth. Only everything tangible, visible and explainable with their intellect has any influence on these people.... but everything else, the inner life, spiritual thoughts and a possible continuation of life after death.... they indifferently reject as fantasies, and so all that remains for them is an extremely empty life, which is completely filled with the pleasures of the world, with all kinds of desires and vices, and thus allows no further thoughts to arise in them. However, by God's wise decree, every living being is embodied in one form until the soul of the being is ripe for a new mould.... for further development in another shell. What is the life task of every smallest creature must of necessity also be the task of the highest living being on earth.... the human being, and earthly activity can never suffice to secure a certain degree of maturity for it.... This earthly activity only benefits the body, which passes away in a short time on earth.... but not the soul that inhabits this body. How can the soul ever develop to higher maturity if it is not offered the slightest spiritual nourishment.... if the human being does not endeavour to help it to free itself from its burdensome shell, matter and its chains. The soul of a person who does not make this endeavour will remain on a low level, it will suffer unspeakably if it is not helped in earthly life and will have to bear an extremely difficult fate in the beyond. And all this only because the human being lacks the belief that he himself must take responsibility for everything he does or fails to do in earthly life. It is up to the human being to do or not to do what he wants, since he was given free will. But such an unrecognized and unused earthly life will never dissolve into nothingness, rather, after its earthly demise the soul will recognize the injustice in all its gravity and bitterly regret the useless past lifetime and try to climb one step after the other in arduous struggles and battles, once it has become aware of the eternal deity.... And so you know that faith is necessary and can never ever be replaced by wisdom and the intellectual will to recognize creation.... A childlike faith combined with the most heartfelt love for the saviour alone can lead you to eternal bliss, but without it you remain dead creatures, even if you move in the midst of the world's hustle and bustle.... You are poor in spirit and can never partake of the blessings that a firm faith can give you.... but you will walk in darkness until you desire light of your own free will and believingly accept it. Only then will you be able to fulfil the purpose of your embodiment....

Amen
