2089 Cognitive power and truth....

September 29, 1941: Book 30

Being in the knowledge gives a person complete certainty, and this is absolutely necessary in order to be able to stand up for what he is spreading with conviction. It is a beautiful task to spread the truth among people; however, it is also difficult and can only be completely fulfilled when the person himself no longer has any doubts. For many things will appear unacceptable to fellow human beings. However, nothing that is offered to people as truth can be proven, so it can only be accepted by faith. But faith will understandably be awakened or strengthened when a strong faith (deep believer) stands up for what is offered. But it will also be easy for the person who is in the truth to recognize, for he will be taught by the spirit of God and this will impart to him not only the truth but also the strength of faith and understanding.... and all doubt in the person will disappear, everything will be understandable to him, he will grasp the context and what he himself recognizes as truth he can now also pass on to his neighbour without inhibitions. He himself knows, and all objections from opponents of the truth only testify to their ignorance. Faith would only be shaken if real knowledge could refute the truths received through the spirit.... but this will never be possible because the spirit of God is constantly at work and both the power of cognition and the knowledge imparted are constantly increasing. There are things that human wisdom will never be able to fathom, where no evidence to the contrary can be provided and both acceptance and rejection depend solely on the degree of realization of the person.... But the power of realization is likewise something which is imparted to man by God, which man can now call his own who turns to God Himself. Thus he will also be able to accept the truth and he will know that he is in the right state of realization. The other, however, will certainly defend his opinion but will never have the full inner conviction that what he advocates is the right and only true one. The power of cognition and truth are inseparable, and he who has the truth also knows that it is the truth....

Amen
