0574 Matter - banished - evil.... concept of good and evil....

September 7, 1938: Book 12

All protection from above is granted to you, for like you, countless spiritual beings are struggling for the souls of the children of earth. A spiritual resistance opposes them, and to break this power requires much effort and patience. But the ways of the lord are wonderful, and many a person will still have to recognize that he is guided by a higher will. But now listen up: living beings always have the destiny to offer a soul an abode and are therefore always carriers of the spirit of God.... which means that in every embodiment, no matter what kind, the divine creator Himself is active.... That therefore all work of creation again harbours the eternal deity within itself and thus can also never completely pass away, only changes in its external form. The external form is likewise spiritual, which, although it originated from God, has turned away from Him.... And this spiritual substance was banished into form, which is now subject to perpetual change and transformation through millennia.... in order to slowly return the spiritual substance within itself to the eternal deity, so that after an infinitely long time it can leave the banished state and develop into active spiritual beings in living beings. That is why all matter is also from God, but, as it were, the banished evil which, originally created good, fell away from God and.... in order to finally return to God again.... must travel an indescribably long path, the last station of which is existence on earth. Thus the concept of 'good and evil' will perhaps be incomprehensible to you at times, since everything is from God and should therefore only be good, but the original spirits created by God had free will just as much as God Himself, and this brought about the apostasy.... Thus, however, free will must now also strive for ascent again, but God in His great mercy does not allow a single being to fall into ruin. Although the path of return is unspeakably difficult and arduous, such a measure of grace is nevertheless accessible to it through the embodiment on earth that it can easily reshape itself into the highest being of light if only it has the will to do so. But precisely this will is often sluggish and misses so many opportunities to mature the soul.... And evil also lures the human being downwards, so that he really has to wage a battle if he wants to achieve victory over evil.... over matter....

Amen
