7070 Enveloping hardened substances with love power....

March 21, 1958: Book 75

All life came forth from Me, but death only appeared when My living creations refused to receive the strength of love and life from Me.... As a result they became incapable of creating and working, of any activity which demonstrates life. What had hitherto been inert and active solidified and fell into a state of death, of being immobile and powerless, which now remains in its solidification until it can slowly be awakened to life again through everlasting illumination with love. Thus life can only exist in connection with the source of life, the creature can only live if it constantly receives the flow of love and life from Me, if it does not resist My illumination of love. But the creature which had frozen to death lost its self-awareness and was therefore no longer able to consciously request My flow of love. Thus something which had left Me in all perfection no longer had the possibility to fulfil its original purpose, it had created this life-incapable state for itself in free will. And this state would have been eternally incapable of change without My help, which that fallen spiritual being indeed did not deserve but which My greater than great love nevertheless bestows upon it, because My perfect being cannot eternally leave imperfection in its adversity and because every strength once emanated by Me also has to become active again one day.... My help now consisted and consists of capturing completely hardened spiritual substances and surrounding them with a light cover of love.... This love-power-envelope has no influence on those substances at first, yet it closes itself ever more tightly around them, and under its gentle pressure the hardened spiritual begins to become agitated, it seeks to burst the envelope surrounding it, and it resists a power it feels, and thus those substances initially drift apart, collections of hardened spiritual dissolve, as it were, and now these reduced accumulations can be enveloped again, and the process takes place again and again, again and again hardened spiritual substances are brought into the range of My flow of strength of love until it is possible to supply the spiritual substances with so much strength due to the decreasing resistance that they slowly start to become active again. It takes eternities until this will of activity moves the once frozen spiritual again, but then the upward development progresses more quickly, for ever more of My strength of love can now be supplied to it, so that life can now also be felt everywhere, that the spell of death is therefore broken, even though this upward development only became possible through My will and according to My will. But the spiritual is not forced to give up, to let up its resistance, but this is caused by the strength of My love, to which the spiritual now surrenders. The dead can only be awakened to life through love, but it must freely open itself out of itself to love. And therefore the ascent development certainly takes place according to law, i.e. the spiritual substance is in a certain state of compulsion.... it cannot use free will to act contrary to My law.... Nevertheless, it is never forced to relax its resistance.... which is why the spiritual substance also needs different lengths of time to pass from death to life.... It can remain in its torpor for endless times, it is not forced to give in to the illumination of love, just as it is not forced into any activity before it pushes itself into it. But the fact that all hardened spiritual substances have to become active one day is likewise a fundamental law, because they once were and will remain emanated strength from Me and as such will irrevocably push towards Me again one day, which therefore also means constant activity again. Yet I must grant help to the fallen spiritual being, for in its lack of strength, in its state without any life, no change would eternally occur. My love, however, belongs unchanged to this fallen being, and love makes everything possible, yet it also has to work in wisdom.... For the being shall receive life back eternally, it shall never be able to sink back into the state of death once it has attained life again in light and strength and freedom. And therefore My wisdom has devised a plan of salvation which My love is now carrying out and which also certainly guarantees eternal life in inexpressible bliss for all those who once came forth from Me....

Amen
