1508 Crisis.... violent premature termination.... natural disaster....

July 6, 1940: Book 24

Humanity is approaching a crisis that is not without danger, for there is great danger if it is not regocnized as such and countered accordingly. Very few people can imagine how tremendously the spiritual low is affecting the organization of the earth's surface. It is incomprehensible as long as man does not realize what tasks the whole of nature also has in the process of higher development of all spiritual things. Every being has to receive strength from God, so this strength is also channelled into everything that is visible to people as a work of creation. At first this is only necessary for the preservation of what God has created. But the actual task is that the spiritual unites itself and therefore reaches a higher degree of maturity through the increase in itself. This unification takes place naturally, i.e., divine will determines the individual entities to unite with others by assigning all His creations their purpose, which now also has to be fulfilled because the entities are forced to do what God has given them as a task. But the stage of free will is a great danger for these beings which are still in the bound state insofar as men can use their will in a way opposing God and now bring the bound beings into great trouble by prematurely ending the not yet finished course in a form, therefore certainly free the being from the respective form, but it has not yet reached the state of maturity, which is precondition for the next form. So the now unbound spiritual is so to speak deprived of its activity, which it had to perform before, cannot yet enliven the next form and therefore has to be compulsorily inactive, which is an agonizing state for the being. For now its course of development is inhibited, a stagnation has occurred which the being cannot remedy on its own.... It now has to struggle mightily in order to be incorporated into a new form again, and this struggle happens in such a way that it puts tremendous pressure on the being that is still in the form, i.e. it impels it into faster activity; that therefore the unbound spiritual substance transfers its urge for activity onto the still bound spiritual substance and this is now extraordinarily active.... which is expressed in an unnatural way, i.e. in increased activity. So this is apparently an irregularity.... a deviation or a change in the existing laws of nature, but is nevertheless in accordance with divine will, since the wrong will of man himself is the cause of it and the right compensation must be granted to the entities which are therefore hindered in the course of development.... The effect of this increased activity, however, will again be perceptible to the human being, and in a way that is less favourable to him. What was originally intended to grant the spiritual beings a long stay will now release the spiritual within itself at an unusual time due to the increased activity. Extra-legal natural phenomena will therefore have extraordinary consequences.... These are the disasters which are caused by nature, which therefore certainly do not depend directly on the will of man, but indirectly are nevertheless the consequences of the wrong will. If people's spiritual state is so low that they have no connection whatsoever with God, that they neither regocnize their task on earth nor the meaning and purpose of creation, nor the higher course of development of all beings and their own infinitely long earthly path, they will not shy away from intervening arbitrarily in this creation, which has a purpose other than that of exploitation by human hands, and this intervention, which has dreadful effects precisely on those beings which become free at an early stage, now entails unavoidable consequences which justly have to be borne by people again, even though it often does not seem comprehensible to them that they are the actual cause of these devastating disasters due to their wrong, God-opposing will. And now the earth has to expect such a violent liberation of the spiritual; through the behaviour of mankind this process is accelerated; the spiritual having become free by force pushes to always more active activity both outside as well as inside of the earth, and God does not hinder this activity because man himself has intervened unjustifiably and therefore ended an embodiment granted by God to the being in love against God's will. Everything spiritual that suffers injustice is allowed to acquire its right, thus the disasters, although seemingly completely contrary to natural law, are in accordance with His will and must therefore be regocnized and assessed as divine transmissions. However, people who live in accordance with God's will, who subordinate their will to the divine will and are therefore well informed of God's love, omnipotence and wisdom, can confront any mission from above with composure.... Even if the catastrophe means their physical end, they will lose nothing on earth, but the glories of God will be revealed to them and they will sing praise and thanks to their creator for all eternity....

Amen
