1460 Battle of the beings of light for souls that are too weak....
June 8, 1940: Book 24
The soul longs for redemption even if it walks a wrong path on earth. It is well aware of its error, it is just too weak to free itself from its fetters, otherwise no guilt would be attributed to it and thus it would not have to fear retribution in the beyond either. For she is free at any time to strengthen her weak will and to request strength for her self-redemption, so that she therefore only needs to use her free will. It certainly has to overcome great difficulties in order to reach the height, but not too much or unrealizable is demanded of it, since the strength to do so is at its disposal to the same extent. However, if it uses its free will in the opposite way, if it turns to the adversary of its own accord, thus desires the strength to act and think there, then it will also receive it from there and its path will lead downwards towards destruction. The adversary will now try to cloud this soul's consciousness by granting it everything on earth which puts it into a state of contentment; he will fulfil the earthly desire and thus try to numb the soul so that it makes no effort to become free from the power dominating it. And he would now have won the game if the soul had not been incredibly fought over by the good spiritual side. It will not surrender the soul to the adversary without a fight. And therefore the beings of light tirelessly influence such souls by trying to mentally present them with the great danger they are in. Hence even the human being who has unhesitatingly handed himself over to evil power will at times occupy himself with thoughts which he does not like, for he will not be left unwarned if he takes the wrong path. Insofar as he now realizes that his path is wrong and he now has the will to take a different path, the strength is already at his disposal, which he may only use in order to free himself from evil power. However, if he rejects the help of the beings of light then he is hopelessly exposed to the power of evil and such souls are lost for eternity, i.e. they willfully strive towards the state again which has kept them banished throughout eternity. The more the human being's will surrenders to the adversary, the greater his power will be, and once the will has been weakened by him it will be increasingly difficult for the soul to free itself from its shackles. And yet the state of a soul is not hopeless as long as good spiritual strength is endeavouring to take care of it, i.e. as long as the soul allows both powers to have an effect on it, i.e. as long as it does not exactly resist the good strength. Then there is still hope that it will turn its will towards these forces. And then the danger of downfall for this soul is over. Then the good powers can contribute to the increase of the will, and the more the soul grants the good forces power over itself the easier the release from the power of the adversary will become, so that it can now assert its whole influence. And the soul will succeed in finding the right path upwards....
