0556 Light.... rebirth of the spirit....

August 26, 1938: Book 12

Revitalize your spirit with thoughts of your lord and saviour, and you will never need to be afraid of an emergency of the soul. It is always the same thoughts that you give room to, and yet only your heart needs to long for Him, and every danger is over for you. Thus, all people should only seek their saviour and divine redeemer and they will never be violated by the powers of darkness. For this alone protects every soul.... He who longs for the sky will not be swallowed up by the depths.... his flight will only go higher and higher, and the spiritual light will protect him from the darkness surrounding his soul. And thus the true disciples of Jesus are destined to walk in the light already on earth, to proclaim the light on His behalf and thus spread bright, radiant light around them and let it shine for those who follow the ray of light which cast its light on the dark path.... The brightness will do every soul good and it will constantly bathe itself in the light of spiritual truth.... And this light will awaken the slumbering spirit to life.... just as a new day dawns, so a new way of thinking will awaken in the heart. The darkness of the soul is broken through by radiant brightness, and every little flame of love ignites in the heart and brings to light an undreamt-of power.... Everything that lives in man takes part in the rebirth of the spirit.... An unspeakable urge for spiritual gifts makes the heart restless, and it only finds peace in granting this desire for spiritual food.... The soul incessantly urges towards the spirit of God, and when it has completely become the bearer of this spirit of God, the human being experiences spiritual rebirth, and all his will and endeavour is only for his perfection, and he will be introduced to all wisdom and be enlightened by the eternal light, which is God Himself.... Surrounded by the densest darkness it will nevertheless be light and bright around him, and whoever is taught by him will likewise be enlightened, because it is God's will that the light shines far and wide, and thus the lord has also wisely arranged that His kingdom is opened to all who walk in this light.... Countless souls certainly remain stuck on earth, and the blame is always to be sought in the fact that they were denied the light of heaven for the simple reason that the light of the soul could not shine there, where one only pays homage to purely worldly pleasures and has not the slightest understanding for spiritual light.... and a complete darkness must surround such souls, which rather shy away from the light than seek it.... And although their activity on earth is extremely lively it will nevertheless be of little benefit to the spirit, because no spiritual nourishment whatsoever can enable the soul to serve the spirit as a place of residence, and thus the earthly child's train of thought is purely worldly under such circumstances.... and such a being can rarely be given the light from the heavens because it feels more comfortable in spiritual darkness, thus it avoids everything that could contribute towards the soul's enlightenment and therefore all actions and deeds remain groping in spiritual darkness. Only when a person who has advanced in realization makes an effort to draw such erring souls' attention to the blessing of light will they slowly become a little brighter and feel the beneficial effect of such a light of grace, but before such people attain spiritual rebirth they still have to travel an infinitely long path which they will hardly find on earth and therefore will also hardly be able to achieve the rebirth of the spirit in earthly life. However, the few who set this goal first in life will be blessed a thousandfold, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven with all its glory....

Amen
