0982 Warning against worldly lures.... admonition for this work....

June 26, 1939: Book 18

The time has come which leads you to your destiny, and therefore the gifts from above will be offered to you such that they can easily reach you or be received without disturbance. However, your own unwillingness is an insurmountable obstacle to receiving, but if this is overcome by you it is also possible that the beings on the other side will close you off from all hostility from outside and your train of thought will only adjust to the messages from above, which will enable a quick understanding and thus the receptions will come about effortlessly. The slightest distraction from outside disturbs the reception, but if the spirit is willing and consciously asks for the assistance of spiritual power, this is stronger than the disturbance. It is now extremely important that you become well prepared for your task which will approach you very soon. And the transmissions from above will therefore provide you with information in a certain order so that you can henceforth ask any question and receive an easily comprehensible answer. At all costs, however, you must pause during the hours of reception. You must not prefix any worldly occupation. The inner voice will always admonish you to act correctly, heed it and take every opportunity, for eager work is necessary and the blessing of those cannot be overlooked by you humans, yet they have been submitted to the spiritual beings by the lord, and therefore they constantly endeavour to stimulate you and promote your spirit. Anyone who puts himself in danger will very easily perish in it.... and thus you are urgently advised to resist all enticements of the world, for nothing is more detrimental to the soul than the glamour and splendour of the world. Then it will find it difficult to return to spiritual work, and this means an omission which is inappropriate in the adversity of the time. Therefore, wherever you can, try to keep away from all worldly pleasure. This is so extraordinarily successful in every respect, a resistance has been overcome and increased freedom has been provided for the soul.... in particular, however, the access upwards has been considerably facilitated, for all fetters which still hold the soul back on earth are obstacles to the flight.... But brave resistance sets the soul free. Consider this when temptations approach you, for every hour that can serve the continuation of this work is precious. Only a strong will overcomes, never let this falter, and ask for all the strength to do so in prayer....

Amen
