5628 World mind.... spiritual knowledge.... heart....

March 16, 1953: Book 62

Whatever contributes to the clarification of your knowledge shall be given to you, for you must know the truth yourselves if you want to spread it. But you have to master an extensive field, for you will be asked many questions which you have to be able to answer so that you will also awaken your fellow human beings' belief that you teach on My behalf. And your mission will prove that you are always able to give information, for My spirit will give you what you need at the moment, and you will not need to worry about what you say, it will be put into your mouth.

But you should not only proclaim words according to the letter, but words which contain spiritual life; you must be permeated by the truth of the words yourselves, by their spiritual meaning, then you can pass them on in a living way. Your intellect must be active at the same time as your heart, and you will be able to convince even people with highly developed intellectual thinking. The wisdom of the world has separated itself from the wisdom of God.... only because the mind has separated itself from the heart.... It is a simple solution why I am no longer recognized by people, why especially people who want to be wise cannot have faith in Me.... because the intellect no longer allows the heart to speak and I alone can only be grasped through the heart. It must first be made clear to people that without love, without feeling of the heart, higher knowledge is not possible, then every truly wise person can try it out for himself.... He should endeavour to cultivate love first and only then let his intellect have its say.... and then it will judge differently than before. He will take a positive attitude towards Me and separate spiritual experience from earthly experience.... But you, who want to spread My word, the pure truth, must try to clarify this to your fellow human beings with persuasive power and therefore have penetrated the truth yourselves, which is why My first concern is to impart complete knowledge to yourselves which enables you to answer every questioner. You will certainly also be able to be called wise, yet it is not worldly wisdom which you possess, which is also not sufficient to recognize or fathom Me.... And it is a knowledge which you, too, could only gain through eager activity of love. You, too, first had to let your heart speak in order to receive knowledge from Me. And the knowledge must have come alive in yourselves before you intend to distribute it to your fellow human beings. And therefore My way of teaching is different from that of worldly teachers.... For with knowledge I simultaneously give the ability to recognize.... because I only give knowledge to the one who lives in love, and because the latter can be taught through the heart, through My spirit, which brightly illuminates the thinking and orders all thoughts.... For love is light, and love alone can give the human being the ability to recognize correctly. What the intellect tries without love will remain unsuccessful or be erroneous....

Amen
