2244 Spiritual good - own knowledge.... battle of light with darkness....

February 25, 1942: Book 31

The battle of light and darkness will also come to light where spiritual endeavour is present, for the power of darkness tries to prevent all brightness of spirit, it tries to confuse human thinking and thus make the activity of the beings of light more difficult. The beings of light can only be effectively active where the human being allows himself to be guided believingly and humbly, i.e. where no will of his own weakens this activity. The latter is the case when the human being believes he already has knowledge before the spiritual forces are able to begin their work on him...., i.e. when the spirit's work encounters a certain resistance because the human being is not prepared to surrender the knowledge he has previously gained. He then tries to find a connection intellectually and there are then two directions fighting with each other for supremacy. Then the power of darkness will use all means to cloud the human being's intellect and complete clarity can then hardly be given to him. The wisdom from God can be accepted without hesitation, and it is also offered clearly and comprehensibly enough as long as the human being only listens to this voice, i.e. does not try to combine human wisdom with it. The person who wants to attain full wisdom must be faithful and humble.... He must accept without doubt what is offered to him and yet persevere in the deepest humility. He must not arrogantly consider himself so perfect that he can also solve any problem intellectually if it has not yet been solved for him spiritually. This is an anticipation of the working of the spirit, which can also switch off the latter, i.e. make it impossible. The human being must again and again submit himself to the lord in deep humility, he must ask for His gift of grace and let God alone speak, he must refrain from any opinion of his own and he must separate the spiritual good gained through the divine working of the spirit from the results gained through intellectual pondering....

Amen
