1444 Untruth obstacle to reception....

May 29, 1940: Book 24

The slightest inclination towards untruth is an obstacle to receiving the divine gift, for the beings of light can only unite with the human being if he has a complete desire for truth. For since they are bearers of divine truth they can only impart it to a person who is absolutely desirous of truth, and thus an untrue earthly child can never receive the pure truth because the being of light can no longer impart it. The truth is constantly offered to people in a form which makes it easier for them to accept it, and an earthly child desiring the truth will not resist the spiritual impartations either. However, once the lie has found its way in, the human being is no longer suitable as a mediator of divine truth. He no longer gives an account of his own thinking. He no longer has the right endeavour to serve God in all devotion, but he is more comfortable with something that goes against God's will, he tries to excuse himself and thus falls into the error of becoming untrue. He then tries to anaesthetize himself again by convincing himself of the necessity of this and thus deviates from the right path that leads to God.... This is such a serious step that it cannot be warned against enough, for only he who desires to stand in the fullest truth can establish the connection with God, as the eternal truth Himself. And therefore the guarantee for the truthfulness of the words coming from above can always be given if the human being's desire is exclusively focussed on receiving this truth. The divine word can only be offered where concessions are not made to the adversary at the same time, and every lie is merely a concession of the will towards him. The will is now in a certain lack of freedom, it is forced to regocnize what the adversary presents to it, it becomes weak and does not offer sufficient resistance, and this results in a spiritually unsatisfactory mood which lasts until the desire for truth has become so strong in the human being again that the bearers of light can approach the earthly child without hesitation and the purest truth can be offered to it again. Man must always bear in mind that he can only have complete enlightenment if he places truth above everything and never resorts to even the slightest untruth. For otherwise he will deny the beings of light access and this being cannot express itself in this way, for only where the desire for truth is predominant can the pure truth be offered from above. Therefore, avoid lies and always strive for the fullest truth so that you will be honoured with the divine gift of grace....

Amen
