0874 Otherworldly teachers on behalf of the lord.... abuse of spiritual power....

April 20, 1939: Book 17

In order to be able to teach the truth the beings in the beyond need the lord's instruction, for otherwise an enormous abuse of spiritual strength would be committed and humanity would be offered spiritual strength in excess, but in a completely wrong sense, i.e. no control would be possible as to the intention with which the teachings from the spiritual kingdom would be conveyed to people. And thus people would suffer incalculable damage because it would be impossible for human beings to fathom where truth separates from lies. In order to be able to administer the office of a teacher in the kingdom of the beyond a spiritual state of perfection has to be reached, so that the teaching being itself is instructed in all truth and can now make use of its spiritual strength to convey it to people. In many cases of hitherto complete ignorance of an earthly child the knowledge it now has is unimpeachable proof of the influence of spiritual strength.... But this strength must now also express itself in impeccable instructions if all doubts of people are to be overcome and a divine working is to be recognizable. And therefore not everyone is permitted to proclaim the truth to people on earth, instead this work is incumbent upon a spiritual circle which conscientiously and responsibly carries out this work and which is destined for this purpose by God Himself.... And thus the human being is allowed to devote himself to this conviction, that he is under the protection of those who themselves stand in truth, all doubts will be invalidated and he will listen with double attention to the whisperings of the spiritual forces beyond, for he knows that the power of evil is insufficient to have an equal effect on the human being where only the will for truth is present....

Amen
