1049 Activity in the afterlife.... ray of light....

August 11, 1939: Book 19

This should be especially emphasized to you, that only the soul which consciously turned to the eternal deity in earthly life can enter the spheres of light. For dwelling in the light requires a state which in turn can only be attained with God's help and therefore has to be requested by faith in Him. But a person without faith is also incapable of acquiring strength in order to reach the same state of maturity, because a dark state of the soul makes it impossible to dwell in the light. Such a soul can only stay in an environment which is adapted to its immature state, even though it also suffers unspeakably from the darkness. Through God's grace, through prayer or people's loving remembrance and help from the higher spiritual beings the soul nevertheless comes close to a ray of light at times in order to arouse its will and awaken the desire to enter a more luminous environment. And every ray of light has some cause, and it is always based on spiritual activity of love and therefore has to have a beneficial effect on the souls of darkness. Incorrigible, i.e. completely unwilling souls flee from such a ray, yet the souls which feel their darkness oppressively are infinitely grateful for such attention and make an effort to remain in constant contact with the beings which want to help them although they have not yet regocnized their power. The souls now receive the most varied instructions and are always advised to lend a helping hand wherever a soul is in dire need.... As a result, a kind of community soon arises among them, they all want to serve each other and ease each other's lot, and this endeavour is the beginning of ascent. As soon as a soul has regocnized how unspeakably the souls suffer who have not lived in accordance with God's will on earth, it is also willing to help and eagerly tries to make up for what it has neglected to do for the beings whose fate is likewise self-inflicted darkness. Yet the struggle is unspeakably difficult where no prayer on earth can bring relief. They are now so painfully deprived of the works of love they neglected on earth, and therefore you humans are repeatedly admonished: Help them through your prayer in their struggle for light.... give them strength to strive for light through your love and turn your compassion towards them so that a ray of light may shine for them too and show them the way upwards.

Amen
