1803 Connections from earth to the afterlife in a state of maturity.....

February 6, 1941: Book 27

There must be no confusion about the fact that only the spiritually advanced human being can establish contact with the forces in the beyond with the result that divine wisdom and unlimited knowledge will be imparted to him. If connections with the beyond are established without the necessary spiritual maturity, then such opportunities are also utilized by immature beings in the beyond, and the result is conscious and unconscious deception by evil and ignorant forces. We can only warn against such connections, for they bring neither spiritual advantage to people nor to the beings in the beyond but are a great danger to them. People may call upon good spiritual forces at any time for protection, help and also for spiritual instruction. And they will always be ready for the children of earth. But then a silent call in thought is also sufficient. But if man seeks to establish a visible connection with the expectation that the powers on the other side express themselves recognizably, then a certain spiritual maturity is precondition that now knowing powers make themselves known, and indeed the powers will express themselves, which are desired and called upon by the earth child hungry for knowledge. Spiritually immature people have no desire for the pure truth but only seek information about earthly questions, and their whole thirst for knowledge only consists of finding out as much as possible about earthly life, about the future and about earthly successes. And thus such wishes are granted by likewise earthly-minded beings in the beyond. Understandably, however, such communications cannot result in success for the soul, and therefore they would have been better omitted if they did not stimulate the human being to think about life after death and the actual task during earthly existence. Then also such connections can mean an advantage for the soul, provided that man does not immediately reject such thoughts, but they are now the cause that man goes into himself and now changes his life accordingly. Then such a carelessly established connection will also have brought blessings if the human being then seriously establishes the mental connection with the good, knowing forces, since he now believes in them and calls upon them in complete faith in their working....

Amen
