6456 The only way to knowledge....

January 21, 1956: Book 69

A vast area has been opened up to you who listen to My word, which is not accessible to other people unless they accept your teachings about it and now try to explore this area in the same way.... that they let themselves be taught by Me through the spirit. And what you desire to know he will teach you.... Therefore, first the connection with Me Myself is necessary, only then can the barriers fall which are set for you as a human being and which your intellect cannot break down. But through the intimate connection with Me you allow powers to become active within you which you all certainly possess but which lie idle as long as you isolate yourselves from Me.... However, the connection with Me allows these forces to become active, because they were initially active in you and will always be active when the separation from Me is lifted.... You were once full of light and strength, you possessed the highest knowledge and unlimited power as long as you let yourselves be permeated by My strength of love.... Again and again you have to hear that your former abundance of light and strength is still available to you if you let yourselves be permeated by My strength of love again of your own accord, but for this the intimate connection with Me is indispensable. And to stand in fullness of light also means to possess fullest knowledge like once.... thus to know everything. Then My love, My spirit, will shine through you and illuminate your thinking, and all veils will fall before your eyes, the limited knowledge of the intellect will be broadened; even that which the human being's intellect cannot fathom will be comprehensible to you.... All areas are opened up to you, and you can understand and explain everything about which the human being cannot obtain clarification elsewhere.... about spiritual problems, about your being and your and creation's meaning and purpose.... and about the being Which surpasses everything in perfection and cannot be denied by any thinking human being. Such knowledge should be desirable to you all.... And it would also be accessible to all of you, but without intimate contact with Me it will never be received. And since people do not allow even the smallest ray of light to flare up within themselves, they also do not know how full of strength and light they once were and how miserable the state is in which they find themselves.... And the knowledge cannot be imparted to them either, because a transmission from person to person also requires a ray of light in order to be understood. Therein lies the great spiritual hardship that it depends on the will of the human being himself whether his cognitionless state, the darkness of his spirit, will change.... Even people of highly developed intellectual thinking are content to explore those areas which are only intended to be used for earthly purposes, but they have no desire for the knowledge which alone is blissful: for knowledge about the purpose of existence and the fundamental cause of all being.... And at the end of their days they stand in the same darkness in which they entered earth as a human being, for only the kingdom is real which they did not aspire to fathom.... because they did not establish a connection with Me that I could have let them have a glimpse into My kingdom.... You humans come into the world without light and strength but you can leave it full of light and strength if only you let yourselves be illuminated by My love.... Every questioning thought about Me will already earn you a ray of light which impels you to establish contact with Me, which then also secures you an abundant supply of strength of love.... And therefore it would be possible for every person to leave earthly life in a bright spiritual state, yet where the earthly world does not allow these questioning thoughts to arise, there the light cannot break through the darkness. The earthly world will much rather deepen it, the human being is not aware of his purpose of existence, and because he does not desire enlightenment he cannot be given light.... Yet you are to be called rich who have sought entrance into a realm which you may now fathom, where you are guided by My spirit.... Then you will stand in the light and no longer need to fear darkness....

Amen
