1440 Apostasy from God.... the battle of light against darkness....

May 28, 1940: Book 23

Everything that emanated from God is in higher development until it is united with God again, for this emanated from Him is spiritual strength.... it is something being-like which was originally destined to work in the same will with God.... But the will of this spiritual substance was unbound, because it was of divine origin it was without any compulsion.... and this unbound will was the reason that the spiritual substance separated itself from God, recognizing its own power, which God had likewise granted to that which had emerged from Him. God did not hinder the will of that which was from Him, but set its limits to its activity. Countless beings emerged from the mighty will of that (might) power, which now consciously opposed God. And these entities were again the outflow of divine power, since this opposing power was also the recipient of divine power. Only that those entities were now animated by the urge to fight against God and divine love instead of longing for union with it. And so God (had to) *make* an alliance with His opponent.... in order to lead the power flowing out of Him back to Himself again. He (had to) *left* him free will and *gave him* the assurance of His power, but at the same time *took away from* him the power to compel the will of those entities that were called into being by this power. *(words in italics were added to the handwritten text = ed.)* It was to be left to these entities themselves to turn to God or to His adversary. And now a struggle for them began, but each side fought with different means. The light now fought against the darkness.... For everything that turned against God was dark, while light and love emanated from God without interruption. The beingness that was born through the will of darkness was led into the circuit of divine love....

(28.5.1940) The superiority of the beings devoted to God spread such bright light that this became visible to the beings having emerged from darkness, and now the beings fought against each other. The beings of light tried to draw the dark beings towards them, while the latter harassed the beings of light and tried to pull them down. However, this perpetual battle was unsuccessful insofar as the beings of light were now unable to work in the depths according to their fullness of light; they were not allowed to hinder the beings' free will, but this was under the control of God's antipole. And it succeeded in revolting all its products against everything full of light.... Consequently, the darkness rebelled against God Himself, for the beings of light were His representatives, they were His creatures that had emerged from Him and were devoted to Him. This rebellion against God was the most serious sin and had to find its atonement according to divine justice, the spiritual substance of darkness had to atone for the fact that it rebelled against God, Who was the supreme being in highest perfection. And at the same time the adversary himself had to be defeated. And thus God allowed creation to arise and all spiritual substances resisting Him were banished in this creation.... Free will was taken from him.... The beings which had refused to obey God now had to enter into a serving relationship, the being could not free itself through its will but was subject to divine will until it was granted a merciful time of embodiment on earth to test its will and free will was given to it again and the being was once again faced with the choice to find its way back to God or to strive for separation from God again.... And the will of the unredeemed being failed.... (The power) the adversary's influence was still so strong that he pressurized the will of the being in its embodiment as a human being to belong to him.... And the distress of these beings was immense. Then the eternal deity took pity on its creatures anew, It descended to the bound beings Itself.... God banished the power of the adversary by opposing his hatred and lack of love with His infinite love and thus redeemed humanity from its tormentor.... His love was greater and stronger than the hatred that subdued man's free will to the point of complete surrender. He overcame death, i.e. the powerless state of the will bound by the adversary. And thus a double redemption was brought to the spiritual.... Firstly, the adversary's power was limited so that the being, which desired God, remained completely unimpressed by this power.... but then the adversary was deprived of all power over works of creation, so that all his power only consists of having a weakening effect on the human being's will, yet this effect can be completely cancelled if the human being's will consciously turns to God....

Amen
