7155 Form of divine revelations corresponds to the maturity level of the recipient....

June 28, 1958: Book 76

You cannot form a proper idea of spiritual things, for you must know that no comparisons can be made on earth, since precisely earth is an unusually meagre creation compared to other stars and worlds and people on this earth are also shrouded in spiritual darkness until their nature already begins to perfect itself somewhat. Their thinking and knowledge is still narrowly limited beforehand and is not able to come to clear ideas which concern spiritual matters. But if they are nevertheless given knowledge which touches upon these spiritual areas, this knowledge is always adapted to their capacity for comprehension, it is such that the willing human being can understand it.... it also corresponds to truth, even though the form in which it is offered does not come close to revealing the depth of divine wisdom.... because such would simply be unbeneficial for the human being before he has already reached a certain degree of perfection. That is why even direct transmissions can often only depict something pictorially.... according to the capacity of the human being.... And yet it cannot be said that these representations do not correspond to the truth. Nor should the form in which such direct transmissions take place be taken offence at, for this too is chosen according to the spiritual state of those who take note of those transmissions. But rarely will the spiritual state of those be higher than that of the recipient of direct transmissions, otherwise they would hear God's word within themselves in a perfect form. And as soon as a person has attained the degree of spiritual vision he will certainly receive a clear view of spiritual things himself; however, he will never be able to convey his visions and experiences to his fellow human being such that he will also be able to form a clear picture.... Spiritual knowledge cannot be transferred in a school-like manner, instead every person has to reach a certain degree of maturity which enables him to understand spiritual knowledge. Therefore, no attempt should be made to reveal images of the kingdom of the beyond to people, for as long as the human being stays on earth he will not benefit from it, because the kingdom of light cannot be described to him and because the kingdom of darkness or twilight is filled with all kinds of lying spirits who perform deceptive works in order to mislead people, and no evidence of truth can be provided for such communications either.... Only a few people will be granted glimpses into the kingdom of the spirits whose degree of maturity is already very high but who do not use these glimpses as an opportunity to impart hitherto hidden knowledge to their fellow human beings but who are only prompted by such glimpses to have a spiritual influence on their fellow human beings.... who thus, as it were, carry out a redeeming activity on earth.... But if you humans know that much is naturally hidden from you, you should only seek the reason for it in the fact that your thinking is still too limited to grasp everything.... and that only with increasing maturity will it be possible to attain certain knowledge. Therefore do not seek to discover secrets which concern the spiritual kingdom in a wrong way.... but try to shape yourselves in such a way that insight into spiritual realms will no longer be denied to you.... which can only ever happen on the path of spiritual maturity, because then the limits which your imperfection still erects will fall by themselves....

Amen
