2491 Mental answers to spiritual questions....
October 2, 1942: Book 33
Every spiritual question is resolved for the person who turns to the eternal deity Himself and asks Him for an answer. Yet the human being must also pay attention to his thoughts, he must dwell on the question for a longer period of time and listen inwards, he must pay attention to which thoughts come to him and to what extent they appear acceptable to him. For the requested answer will force itself into his mind so that he feels it to be right. Asking questions is necessary because it causes the human being to mentally deal with it, and only then can he receive an answer because this is likewise mentally conveyed to him. God withholds knowledge from no-one, but as long as the knowledge is not desired it cannot be given to him. Spiritual knowledge, however, can only be offered spiritually; it cannot be proven either and therefore cannot be handed out as a fixed teaching. spiritual knowledge must be acquired through a God-pleasing way of life, through the right attitude towards God and spiritual endeavour. But then the divine gifts of knowledge are unlimited. Where the human being's will is willing to accept this divine gift, all knowledge will be offered to him, every question which touches upon spiritual problems will be answered, and therefore the human being should not cease to request the divine gift; he should ask and plead, he should listen and give thanks for every answer which is now given to him through God's great love. Receiving divine wisdom is a proof of God's love, because it gives the soul the opportunity to mature while it is on earth. And God offers His gifts in such a way that they stimulate further endeavour. And He wants to stimulate the human being's thirst for knowledge, He wants to prompt him to constantly ask new questions, and thus the knowledge offered to the human being by spiritual beings who carry out God's will by being active as teachers is inexhaustible. To get in contact with God must also inevitably result in increased knowledge, for He Himself hands out the truth, and He gives as long as people desire the truth, His word, which makes the human being knowledgeable who desires to be knowledgeable. Every exchange of thoughts with spiritual beings, i.e., every mentally asked question as well as the mentally received answer is in accordance with God's will, and therefore the human being can constantly increase his knowledge, for those beings in the beyond will always be willing to answer people's questions and impart spiritual knowledge to them, as it is God's will....
Amen
