7131 Man should acquire knowledge of the spiritual realm....

May 26, 1958: Book 76

A vast area has been opened up to you so that you can first stand in the light of truth yourselves, so that you can explain everything to yourselves in order to then also be able to speak with conviction when you are approached for clarification. The knowledge you possess exceeds earthly knowledge and therefore fellow human beings could easily see that you must have received such knowledge in an unusual way, because other prerequisites, such as intellectual work, study or scholastic instruction, are not evident. Therefore they could also easily believe you because this knowledge allows logical correlations to be recognized, because it is able to fill many a gap which the intellectual thinker has not yet been able to bridge. People would only have to subject your knowledge to an examination and then it would not be so easy for them to reject it completely. But for the most part such an examination is omitted, but nevertheless rejected. It is always only individuals who willingly allow themselves to be taught by you, but these derive the greatest blessing from it. The areas which have been opened up to you can only be entered spiritually; people's thinking, however, is purely earthly oriented and they don't demand clarification, they don't ask questions because their thinking is solely filled with earthly problems. And as long as they live on earth they will hardly feel their ignorance, all questions concerning a kingdom in which they do not yet dwell will leave them untouched. But one day they, too, will enter that kingdom and without any knowledge will not be able to find their way around, and only then will they realize their deficiency because they completely lack light and feel unhappy in the darkness. People do not consider that there is no end after all, that they only change their abode when their earthly life is over. And just as a person on earth acquires knowledge of areas that are still unknown to him, especially if he intends to travel through them, so he should also acquire knowledge of areas that are still unknown to him. so too should he acquire knowledge of the kingdom which he will definitely inhabit one day, and he should take care to acquire a stay in a beautiful region. Hence I convey such knowledge to earth and everyone could benefit from it, everyone could be enlightened and would truly also receive truthful information, for the knowledge which comes from above, which unusually flows to a person through the spirit, can truly also lay claim to pure truth, for it is conveyed to you by 'God Himself'.... And I Myself, as the eternal truth, want to make this knowledge accessible to My living creations on earth in order to make the path upwards easy for them, into that kingdom which is not of this world but which they all have to enter at some point and which can be shaped very differently according to the ability to see and hear spiritually.... And this ability can and should be developed during earthly existence. And again and again people will give you guidance for this, again and again My servants will impart knowledge to you which they have received from Me Myself, and thus you can already create a small idea for yourselves and will then not need to blindly enter those regions where you will one day find your home, but which you will only recognize as home in a bright spiritual state. Don't be content with earthly knowledge but try to acquire spiritual knowledge, and if you receive it, appreciate it, for it is like spiritual wealth which is everlasting and which will one day make you incomparably happy....

Amen
