6929 Book of books.... mind exploration....

September 27, 1957: Book 74

What your intellect will never fathom can be explained to you by the spirit within you if you allow this yourselves in free will. You believe yourselves more or less capable of research, or you also trust other researching people that they can convey truthful results to you.... But you forget that there is one area where human intellect alone is unable to penetrate, even if it is highly developed and easily able to solve earthly problems.... This one area is closed to him as long as he does not sincerely appeal to Me to open the gate for him so that he can gain insight. It is impossible for him to explore this area without Me, and I alone decide to whom I will convey the knowledge, to whom I will introduce the truth, to whom I will reveal the secrets, to whom I will solve the problems which thus touch the spiritual area. For I alone know who will use such knowledge correctly and to whom it will be a blessing. Admittedly, all people could consider themselves blessed to receive light about that which is still hidden from them. But the light also presupposes a clear, purified vessel that prevents turbidity.... Knowledge presupposes a degree of maturity, otherwise it would be completely worthless for the human being and could not bring him any realization. And if this degree has not yet been reached, then even the sharpest intellect will not find its way in that area.... It will remain dark in him as long as his spirit cannot give him brightness. And thus it is also of no use if wisdom.... i.e. knowledge of the pure truth.... is sought from people who think themselves capable of giving enlightenment but can only ever speak of pure intellectual results. It is also of no use if a person tries to acquire knowledge from books, even if it is the book of books, the scriptures, which certainly contain truthful knowledge but which remain a closed book to the immature reader, even if every letter is known to him. Admittedly, every person will be able to benefit from it if he only believes the words which he can well understand, if he takes the indications for a righteous way of life seriously and lives according to them. For then his soul's initially still very immature state will lift up and a small glimmer of light will already shine in him, but first it requires a way of life in accordance with My will, which can certainly be recognized from the scriptures.... But anyone who believes that the scriptures will bring him the highest knowledge, who believes that this knowledge can be gained through study, through precise knowledge of the letters, is very much mistaken. For this attempt has already been made so often and has only ever brought greater confusion, because every researcher has come to different results.... except for those who devote themselves to Me in childlike humility and love, whose spirit I now illuminated and was now also able to grant them insights, whom I Myself was able to introduce to the truth, as I promised.... And thus neither science nor dead faith will explore the area whose illumination I Myself have reserved for Myself: Only those who prepare themselves as a vessel into which I can pour My spirit, whose serious striving on earth is to first shape themselves into love, who endeavour to fulfil My will, who are founded in the law of eternal order, will ever attain the light, who only ever demand a way of life in love from you humans, so that you will assimilate your nature to My fundamental nature and then the overflowing of My spirit upon you will be the inevitable result of it.... Walk in love and you will now be introduced by My spirit into the realm which, however, remains closed to every human being without love.... For only through love will you becomezMy children, and I will truly withhold nothing from My children, I Myself will introduce My children to the truth, as I have promised....

Amen
