0923 Recognition of the wrong way of life cause for repentance.... helpful beings....

May 19, 1939: Book 18

Every human being is burdened by the awareness of heavy guilt if he once takes a good look at his way of life and considers that his embodiment on earth is granted to him as a grace and that he does not use this grace as he would be able to with an earnest will. This awareness is so extremely depressing and peace-robbing but can also sometimes be the reason to give up the previous life and henceforth to concern oneself with the soul's salvation, i.e. to seriously pursue the aim and purpose of life and only then to adjust oneself such that the earthly task is taken seriously. The human being tries to make up for what has been neglected so far and can often make the pleasant discovery that a spiritually striving human being finds support from every side.... For his will became active, and this causes the spirit beings willing to help to support him in every challenge from outside that he still often encounters, which he can now offer resistance with the help of those beings. For without this helping power the striving upwards is unspeakably difficult for the human being. The purpose of life is the union with the father in heaven. Anyone who has the serious will to bring about this unification will immediately be met by beings willing to help and strengthen his plan and give him the strength to carry it out. And therefore there can be no relapse once the will for perfection has come alive in the human being, for the eternal deity seizes the child, as it were, which longs for Him and places it in the midst of a sphere of activity which enables it to live this perfection and to use its life to the best of its ability for eternity. And from now on the human being will no longer be able to resist divine love, he will recognize the deity, firmly trust It, give himself into Its will and thus be completely permeated by the divine saviour, and all actions and thoughts will only apply to the reunion with the heavenly father, and once peace has entered his heart the human being will recognize that he is walking the right path which leads upwards....

Amen
