2426 Rebelliousness against God delayed embodiment as a human being.... lovelessness.... new earth.... new epochs of redemption....
July 30, 1942: Book 33
The time of development was so measured for the spiritual that it was completely sufficient for the liberation from the form, because what does not want to bow before God in time also disregards every further possibility of higher development, and only the hardest form can still awaken the urge for freedom, but by no means the last embodiment on earth, where the spiritual no longer feels its fetter so oppressively. Through the inconceivably long time of being bound its rebelliousness has indeed been broken insofar as that it has decided to serve, thus it could now go through the many stages of higher development, however, it gave up this will again in the last stage as man and used no possibilities at all to finally free itself.... It resists God anew, which is now expressed in increased lovelessness.... And that is why this time of redemption comes to an end.... The spiritual enters a new period of development, it is therefore banished again and now forced to inactivity, which it now feels doubly after the state of partial freedom it had already achieved. This spiritual turnaround, the spiritual regression, also necessitates a new moulding of creation, which is to serve this spiritual being again as a residence. It necessitates a completely different form and composition of that which is now intended for the spiritual as an external form. For this spiritual substance will not cover the same path on earth but will require stronger restraints as well as different activity as soon as it is allowed to do so again. And consequently the earth, which now comes into being, will have to show new creations, which completely deviate from those of the old earth. The earth will be shaped differently and offer the spiritual countless new possibilities to develop upwards. Such a remodelling of the earth has been planned since eternity, for God has known since eternity about the rebellious will of people who will inhabit the earth at the end of this redemption period. But before that He still uses all means to persuade the spiritual to give up its resistance in order to spare it a renewed bound state through endless times. But the last means are suffering and earthly hardship to such an extent that people have to take the path to God if they are not completely hardened in spirit and completely renounce Him. But then any return to God is impossible, the spiritual substance has to undergo a renewed process of change, for even in the beyond there is no possibility of development for this spiritual substance since it lacks all love, thus also all realization, and only the realization in the beyond makes spiritual progress possible. The souls, however, which end their earthly life in utter lack of love are in deepest darkness and can no longer reach the light, and the only path which leads to embodiment as a human being again after an infinitely long time and thus can bring final liberation after all. Yet this renewed path on earth is so agonizing that the most severe suffering on this earth, which people have to go through, can only be regarded as a mercy, as it can save the spiritual substance, the human being's soul, from another earthly path if it is recognized for what it is.... as a means used by God to bring the spiritual being that has fallen away from Him back to Himself....
Amen
