1026 Wrong thinking.... rejection without knowledge of the matter....

July 26, 1939: Book 19

Mankind rejects what is supposed to be its greatest blessing and the seriousness of its actions cannot be made clear to it because it consciously defends itself against everything spiritual. Thus it is never possible to enlighten people as to the real reason for their wrong thinking. It is difficult to preach reason to someone who is defensive about something without actual knowledge of it, because he does not want.... Immersing himself in the controversial topic would allow him to make a different judgement.... So anyone who desires enlightenment can be taught accordingly. And therefore it is irresponsible to always remain in the same waters, that is, to not want to deviate from his opinion simply out of ignorance of a matter, and to these the lord calls: Open your ears and your hearts and hear the voice which wants to proclaim the truth to you.... and then examine it.... and if you then still want to reject it, then it is your free will, but you have knowledge and can then consciously take a stand on it, which, however, is not your right as long as you walk along completely blind in spirit. The purely objective solution to something inexplicable is already required in an earthly respect, how much more should you spiritually observe the same and examine everything you want to reject beforehand. The more righteously you are willing to judge, the brighter your spirit will be, it will guide you, first to the recognition of the eternal deity and then prompt you to approach this eternal deity for enlightenment, and your thinking and judgement will then be the right one. First try to understand the divine gift.... Remember the need of the time in a spiritual sense.... and the loving care of the eternal deity, Who is undeniably the creator of all things.... Remember the love with which a father clings to his child on earth and also transfer the same relationship of love to the whole of creation and its creator from eternity.... and you must regocnize that such love cannot and will not leave in spiritual adversity those who have emanated from it. And everything in the universe is the product of divine love; there is nothing that divine love has not created and brought into being.... And if you bear this in mind, you will find it understandable that the father in heaven cannot let His children go astray....

Amen
