September 28, 1939: Book 20

The strength of the spirit can only work where it is granted freedom, and thus the spirit of someone who lacks all faith in the dormant spark of God within himself can never express itself. And thus the gulf that separates such people from cognition is unbridgeable until he realizes the worthlessness of everything earthly and his thinking is slowly transformed.... Then the human being does turn to the deity and asks about things which are now answered by the divine spirit, and the power of the spirit now expresses itself, at first still unclear to the human being, however, if he is serious about spiritual knowledge, the answer will become increasingly clearer and more comprehensible to him. Thus the spirit in him has become lively.... Spiritual science is either cultivated with full fervour or completely rejected.... The God-seeking, loving human being will always be introduced to it, and he will regocnize that he can still and still draw from this container of wisdom if he is hungry for knowledge, and that every area will be opened up to him through it.... and that in fullest truth and highest perfection. Yet all spiritual influence remains alien to the worldly aspirant, for he pays no attention when he receives corresponding instructions or advice.... His train of thought is so secularized that he has no understanding for the subtle spiritual language of the knower. Everything is so incomprehensible to him that he at best doubts the clear thinking of the latter with regret but never takes such transmissions seriously. And from a purely objective point of view, he cannot prove that a power can express itself in man that is alien to him.... This thought is a nuisance to him and so he does not endeavour to test it for its correctness. And his state of mind remains the same, unfinished, backward and the human being completely ignorant and yet living in the conviction that his knowledge far surpasses that of his fellow human beings. Yet one day these poor people will have to regocnize the hardship their deluded thinking has caused.... For their worldly knowledge will not be valued in the beyond and they are poor and empty in spiritual knowledge.... And if those knowledgeable beings, who were misjudged in earthly life, did not want to help them and take care of their hardship, such souls would truly be in a bad way. And what was so easily available to them on earth now has to be gained with difficulty and effort in the beyond, and the regret about the missed opportunity on earth will torment these beings once they have realized how necessary spiritual knowledge and the working of spiritual strength is for the higher development of all beings....

Amen
