2871 Good and bad forces.... conscious or unconscious reception....

September 6, 1943: Book 37

Countless threads run from the beyond to earth, and depending on the willingness of the hearts, on the ability to love and the desire for truth, the spiritual beings can let light flow to people on earth, thus hand out knowledge which corresponds to the truth. For only truth is light, but all error is darkness of spirit. In order to be able to receive the pure truth, however, profound faith in God's love is a prerequisite, that it carefully watches over the fact that only spiritual powers have access, which are bearers of truth and instruct people on God's behalf. Anyone who acknowledges God as the giver of truth and also recognizes God as the source of knowledge, as the center where the spiritual transmissions originate, will also have the firm confidence that he can never ever be offered error if he is united with God through heartfelt prayer and loving activity. And that is why he will never allow erring forces access to himself, because prayer to God erects an insurmountable wall against every intrusive ignorant force. God will never let anyone walk in error who desires the truth from Him.... However, there are also forces at work between heaven and earth, between the beyond and this world, which seize every opportunity to make themselves heard and which are uncontrollable because they make use of a human form which gives them their will.... Both good and bad forces can express themselves through such a form, but the latter will also disguise themselves as figures of light in order to find full faith in what they make known to people. In a conscious state the human form can indeed be truth-seeking and of God-focused will, but it renounces its own will in a medial state, which every spiritual power can then occupy depending on the desire for truth and the state of maturity of those who receive the proclamations. And therefore truth and error will exist side by side without the latter being recognized. And the reason for this is that the working of the spirit is unknown to such people, that they do not try to listen within themselves in an awake state.... that they lack the knowledge that God Himself speaks to people who want to hear Him.... that they can be introduced to the most profound wisdom by Him and that He conveys this wisdom to people through His word or allows it to be conveyed to people through His spiritual bearers of truth. But they must always listen inwards, they must try to develop the ability to hear the voice of God....

amen
