4805 Outpouring of the spirit....

December 29, 1949: Book 55

What speaks to the soul does not touch the senses of the human being but only the heart. And that is why the voice of the spirit cannot be heard and felt with the senses of the body but only resounds in the heart, i.e. rises from the innermost part of the human being and only then becomes conscious to the human being. If it were to touch the senses of the human being in a pleasant way, then he would certainly listen more often to the voice in the heart, but the spiritual success would then only be slight, because the body is also involved. But that is why it is also far more meritorious to let the inner voice sound without bodily impetus, because then only the human will strives for the connection with the spiritual world, with the kingdom from which the voice, audible to the soul, sounds. And that is why it is only rarely that the inhabitants of the kingdom of light can express themselves to a human being although they constantly endeavour to make themselves known to them. They are in a kingdom of which the human being as such cannot form an idea, and that is why the existence of a spiritual kingdom is doubted. And thus they do not seek to gain insight into this kingdom, they do not seek to establish contact with the inhabitants of it. But if a person is willing to do so because he believes and wants to hear the beings of the kingdom of light, he will also never be abandoned by these beings again because through him they can gain contact with people and communicate with them, albeit indirectly. And therefore the human being will only need to want and never wait in vain for the utterances of the beings of light, which are therefore, so to speak, power stations for God's emanating strength, for His spirit, which pours itself out on all sides, which is only looking for an open vessel in order to pour itself into it. Hence there are only obstacles on the part of the human being when his willingness decreases, although this is only ever a temporary state, because once a person has been touched by spiritual currents in such a way that he was allowed to hear God's expression through the beings of light within himself, he will never want to miss this spiritual voice again and again and again opens his spiritual ear because the soul impels him to do so.... or also the spirit. The latter wants to make itself known to the soul, and if it finds no resistance then the soul constantly drives the body to create opportunities for a quiet inner contemplation, for the reception of spiritual good through the inner word. Everything that promotes the human being's spiritual development is under God's care and will be supported, which is why even the most difficult living conditions cannot affect a spiritual striving, because the human being's will adapts itself to divine will, because God wants to speak to people through the voice of the spirit and therefore the receipt of spiritual good is supported in every way. And thus it is always pleasing to God if an earthly child desires to hear His voice, and He will always accommodate it because it is the soul which desires nourishment and He will never let it go hungry....

Amen
