4452 Directed matter.... bound will....

October 5, 1948: Book 52

Directed matter is the spiritual in a bound state which has directed itself through its God-contradicting will, i.e. has been placed into the state of bound will by God's will. It can therefore no longer, as was originally the case, freely will and put its will into action, but it is completely powerless and stands in the law of compulsion, it is forced to move in the will of God.... it stands in the bound will.... This state lasts for eternities and encompasses infinitely many deformations and stages of development and passes through countless creations until the stage as a human being, where it then steps out of the bound will into freedom of will, where it can then redeem itself, although it is still judged, if it uses the freedom of its will correctly, i.e. to approach God. Hence, it is first a judged being which can step out of judgment into the state of spiritual freedom, strength and light.... Now it is a wrong concept that the human being falls under this judgment through sin, but he is already in judgment when he enters earth as a human being and is still in judgment as long as he is not yet born again, thus has not yet awakened his spirit. And depending on his way of life, which can be without sin but also very sinful, the cover around the spiritual substance thickens or gradually dissolves. If, however, the spiritual being as a human being remains in resistance to God, then there is a great danger that the whole endless long time of an epoch of redemption will have been in vain for the spiritual being, that it will have to travel the same path again and thus the spiritual being will again be bound in matter, which it had long since overcome. Then it enters the law of compulsion again, it is again directed by God's will and is bound in hardest matter, a state which can be called hell because it is extremely agonizing for the spiritual, which was originally created in fullest freedom and strength and power and now can no longer use it until it has completely changed and found union with God in free will. Then the being enters into God's will of its own accord and becomes the most blissful creature, as it was destined to be from eternity....

Amen
