5559 Truth light effect.... error no bliss in the hereafter....

December 17, 1952: Book 61

The knowledge imparted to you through My word has a particularly beneficial effect on your soul because it is, as it were, like rays of light which touch it, which are therefore stronger than the surrounding cover and are able to penetrate it.... For the soul's adversity consists of the fact that it is dark within it, that no light can penetrate from outside and that darkness paralyses all will to activity. The soul's adversity consists of ignorance which deprives it of all knowledge of My Being, which it experiences as a dark state and which can precisely only be remedied when the knowledge of pure truth is supplied to it. And thus the person who has knowledge will always feel at ease in contrast to someone who still walks in ignorance, for it is not his intellect alone which has a plus to record but the soul is even far more grateful for it because it perceives the imparted knowledge as light, as a premonition of a state which is its aim on earth. The intellect wants to know everything explained, but the soul feels the happiness of being knowledgeable because this has an effect as light. This is why erroneous knowledge cannot benefit the soul, for no matter how much intellectual knowledge the human being accepts.... if it is not the pure truth, the soul will not derive any benefit from it, instead, the shells will thicken and ever greater darkness will spread to its sorrow. But such a soul will also not be willing to love and do nothing to change its state, i.e., the human being willingly accepts error through his direction of will, through his way of life, and does not recognize it as such, he brings his soul into this lightless state himself, because without love no wisdom, no light, can reach the soul either, but love is only the strength which loosens the soul's cover so that truth, the light, can now flow into the soul. A person who possesses knowledge which has brought him the right realization is therefore also active in love, because this is the prerequisite for receiving My word, which has imparted truth to him.... regardless of whether My word was offered to him directly or indirectly. And thus you humans can only ever be seriously advised to practice unselfish neighbourly love so that you can receive My wisdom in abundance, hear My divine words of love and thereby attain realization. Without love all words only remain an empty sound which fades away in the ears or which the intellect certainly allows to have an effect on it but which does not penetrate the soul. And thus a life of love is irrevocably necessary in order to help the soul into the light, in order to give it the knowledge which reduces its state of adversity and allows it to become active in its ascent. Without love it cannot receive the right knowledge, without love it is also unable to recognize the knowledge imparted to it as truth or error.... Without love it remains dark within itself and takes the wrong path because no light illuminates the path which leads to the aim....

Amen
