3608 Receiving the truth requires spiritual connection....

November 17, 1945: Book 46

The core of truth remains hidden to those who live without spiritual connection, whose senses are only earthly directed and who thus do not strive to attain Me as the eternal truth. All knowledge is rooted in Me, and through Me all knowledge of the pure truth is conveyed to people. But since I Myself am the origin, the source of all wisdom, the origin of all knowledge, the human being must understandably first try to establish contact with Me if knowledge is to flow from Me to him. And this requires thinking turned towards the spiritual kingdom, it requires an acknowledgement of Myself, which in turn first requires a preoccupation with spiritual problems and the will to fathom eternal wisdom. Hence the connection with Me alone is the guarantee to receive truth from the giver, for the influx of pure truth is an expression of strength from Myself which absolutely requires a receiving station. And since I allow the human being freedom of will he has to prepare himself as a receiving station otherwise the flow of strength of My love will not touch him. A connection must be established from the human being to the spiritual kingdom in the form of thoughts which, if they are turned towards Me, will also mean an open heart.... a receiving station for My emanation.... The human being's freedom of will necessitates this, otherwise the human being would be forcibly guided into truth and realization by the influx of My strength, which would be detrimental to the soul's maturing. As long as people on earth are indifferent to the pure truth, as long as they do not desire true knowledge, no truthful knowledge can penetrate their hearts, for I Myself cannot work in people who do not open themselves and their hearts to Me. All wisdom emanates from Me because I am the eternal truth Myself.... My spirit shines through infinity and transforms the worst darkness into light.... Yet I also gave My living creations free will as a characteristic of their perfection, and thus the creature itself must want to be within the circle of light of My emanation; it must also be possible for it to dwell in darkness if this is its will. Light is knowledge of the pure truth, darkness is darkening of the spirit, ignorance, thus also lack of the power of cognition to distinguish truth from error and lies. If the human being's gaze is spiritually directed he unconsciously enters the light of My influx, his will is turned towards the light and it will also become light for him according to his will. But if he strives for the world, for earthly goods, he will not desire higher knowledge either; he feels comfortable in spiritual darkness and thus can never receive the truth or recognize it as truth. And therefore truth can never be where the spiritual bond with Me does not exist, where the human being does not turn to Me for enlightenment with profound faith in Me, where he does not entrust himself to the giver of truth Himself so that He will instruct him and give him what he desires. There can never be truth where worldly interests prevail, because My emanation cannot penetrate where hearts do not desire Me alone but the world, and the human being is accessible to its pleasures. Having completely overcome the world guarantees the ability to receive spiritual knowledge, yet both at the same time will never make the human being happy because I, as the eternal truth, keep Myself away from those who still adhere to the world, thus to the kingdom of My adversary, the prince of lies and error.... There are two separate worlds, and the will of the human being himself must decide for one of the two.... The spiritual world will guarantee him certain truth, the earthly world will keep his thinking in darkness, it will go astray, and the human being will always let his will become active in the wrong direction but will never be able to attain wisdom, the pure knowledge from Me, which I only impart to those who open the door of their heart to Me in free will, who shape themselves as a receiving station for the emanation of My love and thus enter into contact with Me, as eternal truth, so that I can now consider them according to their desire....

Amen
