3157 Strong will required to absorb the thoughts....

June 13, 1944: Book 41

The more the outside world approaches a person and prevents him from listening in complete seclusion to the voice of the spirit, which now whispers the thoughts quietly to him, the more difficult it is to receive the thoughts. This is an act of the greatest strength of will, which must be practiced again and again, which again and again requires strength, which the human being must ask for. Since it is divine will that the human being should connect with his spirit and allow himself to be taught by it, He will never leave a prayer unanswered, it just has to come from the bottom of his heart. It may not just be a formal or lip prayer, but the desire for divine gift of grace through the spirit must be so strong that the prayer is fervently sent up, after which the person will always receive the strength. And then the human being is able to receive every thought flowing to him without hesitation and doubt, and only then can he be taught and receive profound wisdom. divine gift requires undivided attention, divine gift is not given out without deep desire, and divine gift is only imparted to those who are willing to pass it on. And a strong will is required for everything, which must be active again and again. For a person is never forced to do so against his will, but neither is he showered with a gift of grace which he does not seriously desire. He must remain in constant struggle, he must constantly immerse himself in prayer and be mindful of the fact that God's love offers him something extremely precious and that this precious gift cannot fall to him effortlessly without his will becoming active. Thoughts from the spiritual kingdom constantly buzz around him, good and bad, and only want to be received by him. And now the human being has to open himself and consciously ask for the good thoughts. Through his will he must put himself into the state of being able to hear every thought that comes to him. He must, so to speak, open his spiritual ear and now listen to the subtle voice which now announces itself. But if the human being does not muster this will, it remains silent within him. He has no intimate contact with the beings of the kingdom of light who want to impart divine wisdom to him in a mental form; and this contact must inevitably be established first, which first requires a strong will....
