0554 Transition to the spiritual world.... will.... spiritual powers....

August 23, 1938: Book 12

If the desire arises in the soul to serve only the lord of heaven and earth, then all good spirit beings will support and encourage such a soul in order to soon bring it into a state where the soul unites with the spirit. Under certain conditions the soul will turn more and more to the spiritual, and this happens to a great extent when there are no obstacles in its way caused by the more worldly desires of the body. The further the world is removed from the senses, the more unhindered the soul can pursue its activity, and only in such pure spiritual work will it find its satisfaction. However, people who are unable to separate themselves from the world, from matter, will not be able to reach this state, for such people lack the inner urge, and this is indispensable for the promotion of spiritual activity. Wherever the opportunity presents itself to escape the worries of the world and to replace them with concern for the soul, success will be achieved that is infinitely more valuable than the benefit that earthly activity can ever bring to a person.

There are not many who can so completely turn away from worldly duties, worries and worldly pleasures.... but these few are to be called unspeakably rich, as they are in full possession of their spiritual abilities.... and can utilize them profitably for eternity. But once a person has made the transition to the spiritual world, the earthly world no longer seems desirable to him.... he may walk through the earthly valley until the end of his life, but without gaining any attraction from it that could be harmful to his soul life. Only in view of eternity, in recognizing the divine creator and His works, does he look at the earth and all creations with spiritual eyes, and this only brings him benefit for his soul.... for it increases his love for the father of all being.... it awakens unlimited reverence and unconditional submission to the divine will.... And thus the soul offers itself to the heavenly father by completely subordinating itself to Him and striving for union with the divine spirit in the will to attain God. In a short time it will also succeed in doing so because the will is always decisive, and thus the will of a human child alone will always be assessed and this will also be complied with as much as possible.... and the deeper and more intimate the desire is, the more certain the desire will also be fulfilled.... For whatever you want, you will receive, if only you ask from the heart.... Thus man prepares for himself the state in which he finds himself.... for he will always receive what he strives for in his innermost heart and he will therefore not be able to blame anyone other than himself if his situation is not satisfactory. After all, he has it completely in his own hands to shape himself, and the spiritual power that he draws upon through his will will always come to his aid.... the good or the evil.... But where a person allows himself to be guided by love, there will be no need to fear going astray, but every action will result in a separation of the soul from the body, i.e. from bodily desires, and nothing will stand in the way of the soul's union with its spirit. God's love is infinite and also seeks to intervene wherever the soul still walks in blindness, and if only the human being then willingly surrenders to the silent guidance then he will be given full light on earth....

Amen
