1113 Purification through the fire of love.... realm of peace on earth....
September 25, 1939: Book 20
The soul will emerge purified from the fire of love, and it will be aware of its present state and gratefully regocnize that the father has guided it wisely and lovingly and saved it from eternal downfall. And the earthly career will only appear to it like a shadow, it has been overcome and only faintly remains in the memory, since all suffering no longer touches the soul. The night of the spirit has given way to the brightest, most radiant dawn and the soul revels in heavenly delights. Whoever now reaches this state of the soul while still on earth merely casts off the earthly body like a burdensome shell and enters through the gate to eternity carefree. However, this purification process of the soul must have started beforehand, otherwise it is impossible for the soul to purify itself from all dross and emerge crystal clear, as is necessary for entering the spheres of light in the beyond. As long as the purification of the soul is not yet completely accomplished, it denies itself entry into those spheres.... it is still somehow attached to the old world and has not yet been completely released, thus this attachment must first be removed, and this is only possible through love, which is opposed to suffering.... through the heartfelt love with which a person wants to remedy the suffering of others. And thus this fire of love will consume the last remnants of the soul's remaining dross and this soul will emerge from the purification process completely cleansed. Anyone who visualizes this procedure will now also regocnize the extent to which love has a redeeming effect.... he will understand that only through love is it possible to enter the realm of eternal peace.... and if people give love to each other, if they make an effort to keep suffering away from each other and always put love for their neighbour and therefore also for God before all actions and thoughts, the kingdom of peace will also already be on earth and people could cover the earth's orbit without deep suffering.... But where love dies there is already the kingdom of darkness, the opposing power prevails and incites people against each other, and this lack of love has serious consequences, the shell around the human soul becomes increasingly more impenetrable, yet there is no other way to dissolve this shell than to act with love. Everything that is divine is bright, light and clear.... and so the soul must also be bright, light and clear in order to be able to unite with God, and in this realization it must make use of a means that is also divine.... of love.... This means is of such extraordinary power that it can wipe away all guilt, loosen all fetters, melt all dross and remove all rubbish.... that it purifies the soul and it can thus become bright, light and clear.... through love.... enter into union with the eternal deity....
Amen
