4667 Value of spiritual thoughts....

June 12, 1949: Book 53

Every spiritual thought is beneficial for the soul, whereas earthly thoughts only benefit the body, but only if this is the intention, since earthly thoughts can also have a negative effect, that is, they are detrimental for body and soul. However, people are usually only concerned with earthly thoughts and completely exclude spiritual thoughts, then they can neither attain realization nor be guided into right thinking, and their earthly life is idle, for it does not fulfil the purpose.... it does not promote the soul's ascent development. Anyone who reflects on the meaning and purpose of earthly life and then lives his life according to the knowledge he has gained about the soul's continuation of life already mentally enters spiritual spheres and constantly draws from the gift of life for his soul. He will also certainly come to the right realization, he will have to stand in living faith and believe that he will not cease to be with his bodily death, for otherwise he will find no explanation for his life in the flesh, and he will seek the explanation in continued life, thus he will feel called to new activity in the spiritual kingdom and live accordingly. The belief in life after death can be gained by everyone through reflection and contemplation of the works of creation, which do not pass away but only change in order to continue in a new form. This belief cannot be proven, but the firm conviction can take root within oneself that the human being is only temporarily on this earth in order to then enter the spiritual kingdom to fulfil the duty towards God, which is a different destiny than on this earth, which only signifies a transitional station for the spiritual, which should now create and work in all freedom....

Amen
