1458 Cloudless sky....effect of the sun....

June 7, 1940: Book 24

A cloudless, blue sky makes man's fear of threatening clouds disappear, he weighs himself in joyful expectations, and he himself is cheerful and radiant if earthly worries do not depress him. He rejoices in the light of the sun, he rejoices in the whole sight that presents itself to the beauty-thirsty eye. And not infrequently such a sight will also have an ennobling effect on a person's mind; the sun, which touches him favourably on the outside, will also cast a reflection in his heart, whereas a dark, cloudy sky often evokes resentful thoughts in a person. No other explanation is needed than that the beings of light, the mediators of the power from God, turn their power of light and love towards people in all its fullness, and thus the person who receives such spiritual support can reach the heights correspondingly effortlessly if he willingly abandons himself to this influence of the beings of light, i.e. if he thinks and acts as his inner feeling urges him and if this feeling mostly allows him to affirm the good. So on such sunny days the urge to be good is proportionately stronger, and it must also be observed that man does not oppose his inner desire and thereby reduce the influence of the beings of light and power. The natural sun is the awakener of all earthly life, but at the same time it also has the greatest effect on the human being's spiritual life if the human being strives towards higher spiritual development through his own will. The spiritual strength can then reach him to a far greater extent if he allows himself to be influenced by the natural rays of the sun, for these rays are only spiritual activity which can indeed remain without effect if the human being wants to remain completely unimpressed.... for then the effect of the sun's rays is only physically perceptible, i.e. only beneficial to earthly life while spiritual life remains unaffected. Therefore, conscious striving upwards is always a prerequisite for the rays of sunlight to have an influence on spiritual development, but then this effect will be tremendous, i.e. it will bring incomparable success for the human being. And this will manifest itself such that the will to do good, the strength to love and to regocnize wisdom from God will be extraordinarily strong.... The desire to ascend will increase, the activity of love will become ever more active and a spiritual decline will be less to be feared, for the beings of light can have a direct effect on hearts which willingly open themselves, which consciously turn towards the sun and, apart from the physical comfort, regocnize the spiritual effect of sunlight and desire it....

Amen
