0970 Light state....

June 18, 1939: Book 18

In a sphere flooded with light the being becomes aware of its divinity, for then it recognizes its state as god-like. And it feels the eternal father-spirit close to it. And this state is synonymous with eternal bliss, for the whole mystery of eternal glory lies in the union with the father. This state of light is, as it were, indispensable in order to be allowed to dwell near the lord, for only in such a state can the lord's face be endured by a being which has thereby reduced or completely abolished the great distance between the father-spirit and the spirit spark emanating from Him. "Be perfect as your father in heaven is perfect....“ This already proves to you the degree of perfection, that the being should strive to achieve the highest possible degree of maturity in order to be able to rightful claim to the childship of God.... And a true child of God will accomplish the same as the father.... It will be the faithful image of Him in everything, Who created it.... The child emerged from the father, thus it must be of the same spirit.... it must be in the image of God, have the same rights and the same duties, and must therefore also be in the same degree of happiness, for nothing is withheld from it, because fatherly love does not want to deny or take away anything from His true child that is at His own unlimited disposal. And thus the spirit from God will primarily be active, it will merge with the eternal father-spirit.... and seek activity in all fullness of love, because a spirit can never rest but has to be active all the time. This activity is also a feeling of happiness, an everlasting distribution of his love power and at the same time an increase of it, because everything he gives in love is returned to him in increased measure. And therefore all light and all power emerges from God's love, and the light and the power shares itself with the being that is worthy of it.... and if the being receives, it must be the same, that is light and power in itself again, and it must be able to work like God, so create and create. And there must be love again like eternal love Itself.... And it has to see God face to face and therefore has to wallow in unspeakable bliss and serve divine love for all eternity....

Amen
