5576 Evidences of connections to the spiritual realm....

January 13, 1953: Book 61

Nothing is more important for people at present than that the truth they urgently need is conveyed to them. And therefore it is also permitted that spiritual forces express themselves through human mouths in order to first give people proof that a connection from the spiritual kingdom to earth is possible.... Only then will they be willing to believe divine revelations and examine them themselves according to their desire for truth. There is a connection from the spiritual kingdom to earth, and this knowledge spurs them on to gather knowledge, at first purely intellectually. But there is always a possibility to build on a gained knowledge and thereby come to the truth, to the right knowledge. People's spiritual blindness is the greatest danger, the supply of truth is therefore an urgent need, even though the human being's will must first be positively adjusted in order to achieve an advantage for the soul. Truth can certainly be directly conveyed to the willing, truth-desiring human being, yet without the slightest realization the human being does not require closer clarification, an area must first be proven to him before he seeks to enter this area.... And this evidence can be provided to every person, and spiritual forces always declare themselves willing to influence them, even to appear from time to time, in order to merely motivate people to believe in a kingdom which exists outside of earth and which will also receive them one day after they have discarded their earthly body. Only this belief will give their thoughts a different direction and result in striving for spiritual perfection, and therefore the kingdom of light with its inhabitants first has to be made credible to people before they strive for it. The beings of light are particularly concerned about this in the last time before the end of the world. This is the only explanation for the many unusual phenomena which will occur more and more frequently and which are all only intended to strengthen the foundation of faith in an otherworldly kingdom, so that then all statements, all revelations, will be given more attention, so that a transmission of pure truth from above is possible, so that people will be shown the path which leads into this spiritual kingdom. For what people say about it has long since lost its power of persuasion.... The truth must come from above so that it is also recognized and accepted as truth....

Amen
