1355 Activity of the spiritual.... teachings.... light....

March 27, 1940: Book 23

In infinity the spirit often awakens and becomes extremely active if it is joined by spiritual beings from that world, for the combination of spiritual power also increases the urge to be active. Unimaginable powers are also active in unimaginable worlds.... it is like a huge, immeasurable workshop of industrious workers who fulfil their assigned task in the will of the eternal creator. When the spirit of man now rises to those heights, he also joins the activity of all spiritual beings, he joins the chain of countless spiritual creators. The sojourn on earth only exists purely physically, while the spirit is unbound and can dwell wherever it pleases. The more sensitive it is now, i.e. the easier it can create the separation from earth, the more intensely it is touched by the spiritual current to which it turns. It is difficult for an earthly person to achieve a state of complete detachment if spiritual strength does not help him and thus imposes itself on him in such a way that he is only allowed to accept what is offered to him, provided that the will to accept is strong. This is therefore a kind of spiritual activity that gifts of knowledge are imparted from spirit to spirit. This is particularly necessary where such knowledge is only scarcely available, but since it is absolutely required by a being for spiritual maturity.... And this is particularly significant in the vicinity of earth, for earthly people who are in the higher development of the soul lack the knowledge of divine truth to a great extent, so that therefore all perfect spiritual beings look after people and constantly endeavour to increase their knowledge. Spiritually active people, i.e., those who cultivate their inner life and place it before the earthly life of the body, will therefore often mentally soar to those heights and want to receive the knowledge offered to them by their carers. And precisely this constant instruction of people in need of knowledge is spiritual activity. Spirit to spirit tries to find and communicate with each other, and as far as spiritual has merged into common work the power of penetration is stronger, and it now also becomes understandable that the perfect beings can never remain in inactivity as long as they find objects to which their activity applies.... and that this will always be as long as the world exists. This fusion of spiritual strength through the will of the giver as well as the receiver must therefore produce results which are again only of a pure spiritual nature but remain imperishable and therefore increase the knowledge, the spiritual in itself. For knowledge is spiritual strength which can therefore be passed on.... knowledge is light, which again casts its rays in all directions.... in other words, the activity of the spirit has a light-bringing effect again. And thus it will be understandable that only the knowledge of divine truth is valuable in earthly life.... For this alone is of lasting value insofar as that it is also in the life beyond again that which alone is to be desired and thus passed on.... The flight into infinity will bring the same to every being which desires truth, precisely that divine truth which every perfect being carries within itself and thus gives as light and strength to the one who desires it. And this is why the activity of all spiritual beings is of extraordinary importance, for without it the spirit in the human being would not be able to draw from the source of truth.... for everything that is perfect is divine, and thus God Himself opens the source so that anyone desiring food and drink can enjoy it....

Amen
