2095 Collecting intellectual property....

October 3, 1941: Book 30

Blessed is the man who has found God. His life on earth has not been lived in vain. The world cannot offer him what God Himself gives him, for the world only hands out earthly goods, and these are transient. God, however, gives spiritual treasures, and these retain their value for eternity. And what a person has once received in spiritual goods he can never lose, nor can it be taken from him, it will not diminish even if he gives it away. And thus God rewards people for their devotion to Him, He bestows divine gifts upon them, He makes them unimaginably happy, for even if the body feels little of it, the soul, however, finds every gift of strength in the form of knowledge extremely beneficial and grateful, and it remains in constant contact with God because it no longer wants to miss the blissful state. And this is a state of freedom and security in the lord that no worldly pleasures can outweigh. And yet this precious good is only rarely sought after, and it is not recognized as such; and even if it is offered to people, they do not know how to appreciate it. They pass it by carelessly, and therefore they cannot be fed with the bread of heaven, which only those who desire it ardently can receive. And even if they do not harm themselves with the pleasures of the world, their life is to be valued very low and the end will be the bitterest poverty of spiritual treasures. For man can only take spiritual goods into eternity, he must leave earthly goods behind. And that is why man should first collect the goods which he can take over with him, and he should think of his soul, which must live in want when its spiritual goods have been withheld. Spiritual possessions, however, can only be gained once the human being has learnt to recognize and love God, for then he will only strive for union with Him and he will be granted something delectable.... he receives love from God, which expresses itself in the gift of knowledge.... He now already lives in the spiritual kingdom although he still dwells on earth. But his soul continuously draws from the divine source of grace.... and richly enriched he will then enter the eternal kingdom....

Amen
