2130 Path to recognition.... new teaching.... imperishability of the teaching of God....

October 27, 1941: Book 30

As long as the human being knows nothing about the meaning and purpose of embodiment on earth, the thought of a continuation of life after death will also be unacceptable to him, for he then regards earthly life as an end in itself, and from this point of view he now also approaches his earthly task, i.e. he attaches too much importance to his earthly activity. He then understandably only has the goal of exhaustively utilizing his earthly existence because he does not think of an afterlife. It will remain a mystery to these people that there is a path which leads to realization, for they do not understand the simplest thing, that there is a connection between God and people and that this connection can always be established if the human will is willing to do so. They certainly recognize a creator but as a very distant being, as a power Which is undeniable but not attainable by the human being on earth and not connected to him either, and consequently they do not understand that this creator can reveal Himself and that He does so in order to bring truth to people. On the other hand, they recognize as truth everything that is preached to them by ignorant people; they themselves give rise to a teaching which apparently aims to achieve the same and yet completely contradicts the divine teaching. They do not follow the commandments of love, even though they want to give the impression that love for humanity is the driving force to introduce a new order. But that which is not of God will collapse and that which has its origin in God will remain. And thus, no matter how wise people may think themselves to be, they will not create anything perfect as long as they are not in contact with God Himself, are not taught by God Himself and, with God's help, impart their teaching to their fellow human beings.... Everything they pass on will not endure; it will pass away just as it came into being, because it contradicts the divine will. But the teaching that God Himself imparts to people will prevail, for it is truth and, because it is from God, it is also imperishable....

Amen
