2135 Divine teachings in the spiritual realm....

October 31, 1941: Book 31

Recognizing the truth is rooted in a living connection with God. For intimate dialogue with God will result in Him instructing the human being Himself. But divine instruction can only be truthful, and divine instruction will never be demanded in vain by man.... What he wants to know will be answered by God as soon as the human being turns to Him inquiringly, and once he has established contact with God he will also ask for what he deems worth knowing. For he is aware of his ignorance and perceives this as a shortcoming which he would like to remedy. But in God he recognizes the power Which is full of wisdom, love and omnipotence.... And he now turns trustingly to that power, presupposing love, which will not leave his request unheard.... He turns to God to be considered by His wisdom in the firm belief that this is possible.... And God does not disappoint him.... He does not let him ask in vain, for He wants the human being to become knowledgeable, He wants to impart truth to him and guide his thoughts in the right direction. God truly teaches the earthly child in the right way, but it must come to Him of its own accord and desire His wisdom, and the child that goes the way to God does not return to earth empty-handed. While receiving the truth he is with Him in the spiritual kingdom because he consciously connects with Him. It now receives spiritual goods in the realm of the spiritual.... be it mentally or in the form of the divine word. However, outside of this intimate connection the truth will never be offered to the human being, for even where the truth is passed on through the human mouth it will only be recognized as truth by a likewise believing person who strives towards God, thus he will also have to be in contact with God. And it is truly irrelevant which earthly knowledge the human being possesses. If he connects with God, all earthly knowledge will be surpassed, for the divine teacher also gives the ability to recognize wisdom as truth. His fatherly love places the thoughts into the human being's heart in such a way that he realizes them clearly and stimulates the will to accept them, and the spiritual knowledge thus received is imperishable. It is received by the spirit, and this grasps all wisdom because it is itself a part of God. As soon as the human being unites with God in prayer or through deep intimate reflection he detaches himself from earth and the divine spiritual spark in him leaves the earthly shell, now there are no earthly limited enlightenments for him.... He grasps everything; even problems that seem unsolvable to man are explained to him in an easily understandable way, and the consequence of this is that his knowledge will tower high above all earthly human wisdom. And now the spirit takes the gained wisdom back to earth, i.e., it tries to impart what it has heard to the soul as well. And this will again only be possible if the soul also seeks union with God more often, if it enters into intimate contact with God. Every spiritual communication presupposes love for God, and this love determines the human being to ask God and to ask Him for an answer. And a loving and longing heart will find fulfilment. God speaks to him and initiates him into His nature, His working, His love and His omnipotence. And man must become knowledgeable as he is taught by God Himself....

Amen
