2328 Sphere of light.... light - knowledge - love....

May 9, 1942: Book 32

In the spiritual sphere, the state of light is decisive for the bliss of the being. And this state of light cannot be arbitrarily created or intensified but is the result of loving activity on earth or in the beyond. Loving activity cannot be bypassed, it is the first condition for a sphere flooded with light, which is intended to bring bliss to the spiritual.... Love must be cultivated in order to attain wisdom through love; and as soon as the soul becomes knowledgeable, its state is one of light, for light is knowledge.... Only knowing beings can be blissful, for to be in knowledge is a state of perfection which earns the soul eternal bliss. Everything imperfect is insufficient and must also result in an imperfect, meagre state, i.e. the soul, which is imperfect, will experience this as a lack of bliss.... It is ignorant and therefore without light, and its surroundings are meagre and oppressive. Spheres flooded with light can therefore only be an abode for souls who are perfect, i.e. who possess everything that shapes them into perfection, and that is first and foremost knowledge received from God. For this knowledge only comprises spiritual truths which God conveys as an emanation of Himself to all beings which are worthy of it, i.e. which have decided in favour of God through loving activity and striven to be close to Him. But every emanation of God is light and has to express itself again as light. It must radiate again and send out its luminosity to all spiritual beings that approach this light. Without knowledge there is no state of light in the beyond and also no light-flooded environment for the soul. As soon as the human being practices love on earth, God's love radiates through him and imparts the wisdom from God to him.... i.e., the thoughts of a loving person will always correspond to the truth, and when he departs from earth he recognizes the correlation of all things, the divine reign and activity and the purpose of all beings. And thus he stands in the light and can let this light radiate again onto the beings which still lack light. If the light is already made accessible to the human being on earth, he can already let his light shine on earth, i.e. pass on the knowledge to those people who want to accept it. And this is always a state of bliss, for imparting the truth from God to fellow human beings presupposes love, and every activity carried out with love is blissful for the practitioner. Love, knowledge and light are therefore inconceivable without each other, which is why the human being, if he fulfils the divine commandments, inevitably also becomes knowledgeable, thus his soul is in the light, even if it is not always outwardly recognizable. These people have a treasure within them that they do not dare to unearth. Their spirit knows them right, yet their earthly environment prevents them from letting the light shine, and thus it shines with increased brilliance as soon as they have ended their earthly life, for now the soul recognizes its task, which consists of passing on the knowledge.... The ability to already be able to teach on earth is a grace which has to be consciously requested but which is also granted to every person who wants to carry out this activity on earth. Then the spirit in man expresses itself obviously, i.e., it instructs the soul in such a way that it is trained as teaching power and it can already on earth penetrate into the deepest wisdoms from God, what is the right of every man, who out of love for mankind would like to help it to reach out of darkness to the light. This willingness must precede, but then the reception of wisdom from God.... of light and knowledge.... is unlimited. For God blesses every person who takes part in the battle of light against darkness.... who wants to lead his fellow human beings to the light by passing on the knowledge he himself has received....

Amen
