2915 Destruction of the solid form.... start of the development process....

October 9, 1943: Book 37

The will to be of service liberates the spiritual from solid form, from the hardest matter, and opens up the possibility of higher development for it. And this liberation from form is a process which always becomes obvious and which is mostly connected with powerful expressions of the forces of nature which God uses to destroy hard matter. After an infinitely long time the spiritual substance is released from its first cover, the form is burst so that the spiritual substance disperses into countless tiny particles, that it certainly still remains in the same matter but which is now assigned a serving activity, either again as matter for new creations by human hands or also in smallest reduction for the reception of plant substances, depending on its nature and the strength of the will to serve. This is, so to speak, the beginning of the development, which now takes place again and again in a different external form. A work of destruction is always God-willed if it takes place without human influence or if a destruction of matter is undertaken in order to be able to form things that fulfill a serving purpose. It is therefore only dependent on God's will when the spiritual begins the path of development, for this spiritual has then expressed its will of its own accord for serving activity. But the spiritual in the solid form can also become free through human hand and human will, through exploitation of the earth, through the lifting of treasures which the interior of the earth holds; and this process of dissolving or liberating matter is also wanted by God; but it is always a prerequisite that this exploitation is for the benefit of mankind, that therefore the lifted treasures are destined to serve men, to cover their needs of life, and are therefore necessary for life. Then the liberation of the spiritual from the solid form is equivalent to the process of destruction by natural forces, by eruptions that stir up the interior of the earth and bring it to the surface. Such eruptions will mostly take place where human hands have little access, indeed, such eruptions will often create an area that can be made habitable by people so that the spiritual, which is now willing to show itself, is offered the opportunity to carry out a serving activity. The spiritual in the last stage of development, the human being, is always in direct contact with the spiritual beginning its earthly career. The former needs the latter and thereby gives the latter the possibility of higher development. Mostly earth eruptions bring men into a trouble, which lets them become immensely active, and so increased possibilities are given that the spiritual having become free can take its stay in new formations, because the activity of men is necessary to form things, which again fulfill a serving purpose. But through divine will also the spiritual comes to its serving purpose, whose coverings are not accessible to human hands. It serves in nature again and again among each other, because everywhere possibilities are created by God that the spiritual can mature in every form, once it has expressed the will to serve....

amen
