2255 Spiritual flight to the heights.... conveying the spiritual good of the soul....

March 10, 1942: Book 31

As soon as the spirit frees itself in order to vibrate into spiritual regions a change takes place, for the soul, which gives freedom to the spirit, awaits its return, i.e., it desires to participate in the realizations which the spirit has gained in the kingdom of light. And thus the human being longs for the light, for knowledge, and can now be taught accordingly by its spirit. He can impart all knowledge to it, for he takes the spiritual knowledge from the spiritual kingdom down to earth; he tries to reproduce in images to the soul what he has received in that kingdom. This process is like the reproduction of an image that the eye has seen and has now been mentally captured in order to recreate it as an image. The more often the spirit dwells in those regions, the greater will be the soul's desire to be instructed by it and the more able it will be to receive the spirit's messages, for once it gives the spirit within itself the freedom to soar, it will also be willing to participate in its activity. The activity of the spirit, however, is the passing on of what it has received itself. In the spiritual kingdom every light being will want to externalize itself, i.e. want to radiate its light onto the spiritual, which still lacks such, consequently the spirit in man, when it connects itself with the light beings, must receive this spiritual radiation, it must so to speak take up what those give away and therefore increase itself in itself. And again it will want to give itself away, and that to the soul which harbours it.... which shapes itself accordingly in order to be able to receive light again. A soul that gives freedom to the spirit within itself also endeavours to work on itself in order to be in constant contact with the spirit and thus also with the spiritual world, which constantly nourishes the spirit within it. The soul will be able to speak of extraordinary successes, of spiritual higher development and significant progress if its whole endeavour is directed towards the connection with the spiritual world, for then it pays little attention to the body and unites itself with the spirit.... then it consciously fulfils the task it was given for earthly life.... It overcomes all physical desire, thus also all matter, and finds its happiness in maintaining intimate contact with the spirit and receiving priceless possessions from the spiritual kingdom. And then it is in the state which enables it to enter the spiritual kingdom after the death of the body carefree and unbound, where only its knowledge is valued, which means imperishable wealth for it in eternity....

Amen
