4367 Crossroads.... inner voice.... right guides....

July 8, 1948: Book 51

Man goes his own way and for the most part does not keep to the direction that is given to him. He also has no fixed aim in mind but relies on luck that the path will lead him to where he hopes to find advantage. And this aimless wandering leads astray, for invisible forces push him away from the right path as soon as they are not resisted, and he hands it over to himself as long as he lets himself drift. His willpower is small and will also be lacking if he comes to a crossroads and has to decide which path to choose. Then he chooses the most comfortable one and does not consider that a flat path does not lead to the height which he must reach if his earthly course is not to have been in vain. But if he would pay attention to the inner voice he could certainly make the right decision, for it always announces itself when the human being's will is undecided and gives him the right direction in which he should move. This voice also presents to him the advantages of the path he cannot take, and truly not unclear or unfounded. Anyone who allows himself to be warned or instructed by it is doing the right thing, for the inner voice is an expression of the right guide Who knows all paths and wants to lead the human being to the aim by the shortest route. But anyone who disregards the voice, who ignores it or acts against it despite better knowledge, must also accept the consequences of his own actions and will. Although he will sometimes walk more easily, his path will be long and unsuccessful and lead away from the aim, for this can only be reached by an arduous path, and only overcome resistance will allow the human being to mature his soul, for earthly life remains a struggle if it is to be successful for the soul....

Amen
