What appears incomprehensible to man, he would certainly be able to grasp when seen in the light of the spiritual, and it is also only possible to give him clarity on the way of the spiritual, because his train of thought can only then be so directed that one thing after the other becomes understandable to him, that he can now affirmatively adjust himself to what he previously considered unacceptable. The basic idea of all being is love. Everything originated from love, everything is animated by love, and love is the key to recognizing everything that exists. love is the gateway to eternity, just as love was the exit.... Everything came into being out of love, and everything that has separated itself from eternal love is to become love again.... And if the human being now wants to attain realization, if he wants to know the truth, if he wants to find the solution to every problem that touches on divine things, spiritual questions or creation, then he must inevitably first shape himself into love, only then can he stand in realization. The knowledge of truth depends on a person's degree of love. And if every truth were presented to man, if he were given information about everything he desires to know, and he did not have love, then he would understand nothing of it, he would deny everything, he would reject it as greatest error, because he cannot understand, because the light of cognition is not kindled in him, which again only love accomplishes. That is why this little flame must first be nourished, which glows in him under rubble and ashes.... Man must be prepared to serve in love.... There is no other way to penetrate eternal truth, and the person who desires truth must therefore practice love at the same time in order to be able to receive it. But love is something spiritual, it is something that expresses itself in the life of feeling, it comes from the spiritual kingdom, just as it also leads into the spiritual kingdom again. As soon as the human being combines this spiritual with earthly activity, that is, as soon as he expresses the feeling within himself in such a way that he now carries out an activity which is recognizable in an earthly way, he receives something spiritual again, and the activity of love of the beings in the beyond expresses itself.... The human being is introduced to the knowledge of divine wisdom. He may now walk in the light. It is imperative that love expresses itself before a spiritual connection can be initiated, because a person who lacks love will not hear the softly spoken inner word either. People without love are worldly minded, they have no desire to experience what the world outside of earth is like because they simply reject it. They also do not want to know anything about continuing to live in the spiritual kingdom because their love is wrong and only applies to themselves and their increased well-being on earth. If this is presented to them as worthless in any way, this affects their self-love, which they do not want to give up, and they therefore reject everything that could point to a life outside of earthly life. love for God and fellow human beings will always illuminate the spiritual state, but self-love will extinguish any light that wants to shine in the spiritual night. The human being's power of cognition will also be corresponding, for he who is active in love will receive the truth and with it the power to recognize it as truth. For the others, however, everything will remain incomprehensible, and no matter how clearly it is offered to him, he will not grasp it. In order to increase his knowledge the human being has to make use of the spiritual beings' love, who are willing to hand out truth to the one who, like them, is lovingly active. For everything that stands in love seeks to unite, consequently man must increase in knowledge when he endeavours not to let up in his work in love. The gates of heaven will open to him and all wisdom will be taught to him in accordance with God's will, Who wants to spread the truth on earth and therefore blesses the connections from the beyond to earth....
Amen
