2106 Apostasy from God.... return to the elemental force....

October 10, 1941: Book 30

Nothing is permanent, everything passes away that is visible to the human eye. But its inner life is imperishable, for it is the spirit of the spirit of God. It emerged from the power of God and must inevitably return to the power of God; it must join, it must unite with the original power because it once wanted to detach itself from it. However, it is not possible to detach itself from the original power insofar as the power of God cannot be divided. But the will to detach itself from it existed, and therefore the will must now again first desire the union in order to then also be considered to have returned to the original power. The spiritual, which came into being out of the power of God and the wrong will of the opponent of God, were beings, which likewise carried free will and the consciousness of an individual being in them; they had emerged out of the love radiation of God and should originally be infinitely happy as perfect beings; they should likewise carry the divine, the will to love, in them and again create and form. However, the wrong will of their creator likewise placed the wrong will in these beings, and consequently the beings that were meant to be full of light turned into beings of darkness.... Everything in them changed into the opposite, love turned into hatred, the being became arrogant and domineering, it did not seek to please but coveted.... Everything divine turned into the demonic, and so God-opposing beings were the product of the wrong will of the being that God once destined to be the bearer of light. It was therefore only possible to lead these beings back to the original power by means of a change of will.... The wrong will had to change and turn again to Him from Whom it had once turned away. Initially the being did not change its will but decided in favour of its creator. And therefore the being's will was bound. It could no longer use its free will and had to remain in a kind of forced state until the will (the being) decided on an activity which it had once rejected.... until it served in love where it once wanted to rule in unkindness.... The forced envelopment now offers this beingness the entire creation, which only came into being for the purpose of banishing the God-rejecting beingness. These creations visible to the human eye will constantly pass away, i.e. change (within themselves), as long as they harbour the essence which has to cover the path of higher development within them. However, progressive development can only be achieved through the dissolution and passing away of the external form, for only then will this form release the spiritual. The spiritual, however, longs for its liberation from the form, for its original state was freedom and it perceives lack of freedom as torment. The desire for freedom now also determines its will to submit and to do what is demanded of it. And so the will once opposed to God slowly turns towards God, even if in a certain state of compulsion, but the last test of will is put to the being in its last embodiment as man on earth, where free will is given back to it so that it can use it for a free decision. And this free decision determines his life in eternity. He is free to return to God once and for all as well as to fall away from God again.... And God only intervenes in this final decision insofar as He gives the being every conceivable opportunity to come to realization and also imparts strength and grace to it unmeasured if the being is willing to accept them. However, the being itself has to make the final decision if it wants to reach the most luminous state again, which was destined for it from the start....

Amen
