6777 Receiving the truth obliges.... lightlessness....

March 6, 1957: Book 72

God introduces you to the truth.... Your thinking will be directed correctly, everything will become understandable to you, your reason for being and its purpose will be explained to you, everything that was dark before will brighten up.... And thus your earthly task will also be recognized by you who stand in truth.... But you can also recognize the darkness in which the majority of people live and how wrong their thinking and aspirations are. And because you live in the grace of receiving the truth yourselves you also have an obligation: to bring light into this darkness and to enlighten your fellow human beings about their purpose of existence and their task on earth. For although they lack the knowledge which you yourselves possess, it is nevertheless necessary to achieve the purpose of their life, and they can do so if only they conduct their way of life in accordance with divine will.... if they endeavour to live in love for God and their neighbour. If they only fulfil these two commandments of love for God and their neighbour, then the darkness in which they still walk will also clear up, and then they will also always be able to be given more light. And no human being will be able to deny that darkness is not a desirable state, every human being will feel more comfortable in the light of day than in the darkness of night. But people don't know that they are spiritually in night, that the light which shines for them on earth does not illuminate their soul's state, they don't know that they cross over into the kingdom of the beyond in the deepest night when they leave earth in this state. They don't know that their thoughts are completely confused in that kingdom if they haven't first already received a small light within themselves with which they can then help themselves on, through which they can find the right path which can still lead them upwards on the other side. To enter the kingdom of the beyond completely without light is a terrible fate for the soul, and it is without light as long as it is without truth, without knowledge about itself and its relationship to God. And if it can already be informed of this in earthly life, if the human being tries to clarify his thoughts and to enter into the right relationship with God, then he can already record a plus for eternity, then he will enter the spiritual kingdom with a small ray of light, and he will find his way more easily and be grateful to have at least gained this degree of light on earth. And you should help your fellow human beings who have already received a light from God yourselves, who know about God's love for all His living creations.... that He wants to convey the light of truth to all who only want to accept it. Offer yourselves to Him for cooperation, be active for Him as bearers of light, save your fellow human beings from that dreadful lot of deepest darkness and help them to catch some rays of light from the divine light of love by conveying His word to them, by trying to make their purpose of existence understandable to them and by encouraging them to make contact with the one Who created them.... by trying to make them believe that their God and creator also wants to be their 'father' and that He has also shown Himself to you as a 'father' through His gift of grace.... that He kindled a light in you out of love.... Try to transfer your faith to your fellow human beings and explain to them that only love is decisive whether they reach their aim on earth or not.... And always point them to Jesus Christ, Who died for this on the cross, that every human being can reach his aim if he wants to.... that only the will needs to be ready to receive light and strength in abundance, that Jesus Christ Himself brought the light to earth in order to show people the path out of darkness upwards to the eternal light.... Warn your fellow human beings against indifference towards their souls, who will one day bitterly regret not having followed the light which again and again shone before them in earthly life. People still believe to walk in the light because they still have their earthly life, but an infinitely long night will follow this life, and God wants to protect all His living creations from its horrors, who can also look for the light on earth of their own free will and who will then also certainly find it when they want to flee the night, when they long for the light of day....

Amen
