2864 Purpose of the disclosures and evaluation....

August 29, 1943: Book 37

divine inspirations are usually not evaluated according to their origin, but are rather seen as the product of human reasoning. An obvious and convincing proof of the divine origin cannot be brought to people, and therefore the will of man itself determines their value. Doubting thoughts lower the value, and only undoubted faith brings spiritual success to man. But he cannot be forced to believe.... It is therefore no easy task to inform people of knowledge that only faith accepts without contradiction. Nevertheless, this knowledge cannot be countered by any other knowledge which is more credible and therefore every opportunity should be used to invalidate the latter, only then will the human being be more receptive to spiritual truth and mentally take a stand on it. The uninterrupted state of suffering on earth deprives many people of their weak faith precisely because it is weak. They do not want to acknowledge God because He has beaten them Himself and it is, so to speak, a last gasp in the feeling of powerlessness in the face of a higher power. They believe that they can detach themselves from Him by not acknowledging Him, but they have no valid reason to deny an omnipotent deity, even if this deity does not intervene in the plans of human will. As long as they recognize the free will of man, they must also regard man himself as the author of excessive suffering. In the belief that the soul lives on, they find the explanation for why everything that happens in the world remains incomprehensible to them. And that is why God tries to enlighten people that earthly life is only a means to an end and not an end in itself, that it is a time of preparation for the actual life. And He cannot convey this enlightenment to people in any other way than through inner enlightenment; however, He can never force people to believe in it, instead, the willing human being has to work on himself so that he will be able to understand these proclamations for what they are.... as transmissions from the spiritual kingdom, where the perfect beings stand in light and truth and also hand them out to those people who desire light and truth. If the human being desires to know the truth then he is already receptive to it, for then human knowledge is no longer certain enough for him and he will adhere to what is revealed to him through the mouth of those who have received it in an extraordinary way....
