2430 Working of the spirit - coherent knowledge.... no piecemeal work....

August 1, 1942: Book 33

The knowledge of a person taught by the spirit of God is so extensive that one would have to conclude that God is working in an extraordinary way. The human being is introduced to the most diverse fields which, however, are all closely related to each other, and it is of particular importance that the human being is aware of the connection, otherwise his knowledge is only piecemeal. But the working of the spirit can be recognized by the fact that a coherent knowledge is offered which is beyond the reach of human wisdom. For research-wise the human being can neither fathom the time before his embodiment as a human being nor after his death on earth, but if he is to be given information about it he has to be instructed by spiritual forces whose existence cannot be proven research-wise. And he must allow forces to work on him which cannot be explained intellectually in any way, i.e. which cannot be ascertained through world knowledge. The mental connection with these forces must precede that they can be effective in order to be filled as a human being with a knowledge that far surpasses human knowledge. And the serious examiner will have to recognize that he cannot acquire the wisdoms which are now offered to him coherently, for they alone give him information about the meaning and purpose of earthly life, about the meaning and purpose of creation, about the beginning and the goal of what his eye sees. And he does not perceive this wisdom as conjecture but as irrefutable truth, and thus his knowledge can constantly increase because he need not reject it as error or fall into perpetual doubt. For once the human being has received this knowledge he is also convinced of its truth because the power of realization comes to him at the same time as the truth. The spirit from God only works where the prerequisite is given that the human being is capable of receiving the truth, i.e. is worthy, and then he will also recognize everything offered to him as truth. Earthly knowledge will never exceed the limits of what is accessible to earthly research and can still be attacked because human research produces different results. Only the spirit of God is able to give real enlightenment about things which lie outside the earthly realm but which must also be clarified in order for knowledge to be complete, for only then can a person call himself knowledgeable....

Amen
