7171 Inclination towards the world or bond with the spiritual realm....

July 22, 1958: Book 76

Anyone who longs for the heavenly home has already taken the path back into the father's house, his will is turned towards Me and he also eagerly strives to unite with Me, just as he once voluntarily separated from Me. The gaze which is directed into the spiritual kingdom is proof of this, for anyone who is still My adversary's follower only turns his gaze towards the world which is his kingdom. And thus My own will again and again direct their thoughts heavenwards, their conversations will be far more spiritual in content than touching earthly interests, their whole conduct of life will be spiritually oriented, i.e., they will always endeavour to fulfil My will. But only a few live a spiritually oriented life.... The majority of people allow themselves to be captivated by the world and its demands, and their thoughts constantly revolve around earthly aims, and the path back to Me, to the father's house, is not taken by them for a long time yet, but this is why the thought of death also frightens them, just as they also repel spiritual thoughts when they are touched by such. And this is My adversary's influence which affects people wherever and however it can, for it depends on the human being alone whether his influence will penetrate. And although words don't achieve much with these people, again and again they should nevertheless try to direct their eyes towards the kingdom they will one day have to enter.... They should often be reminded of their death and of the soul's continued life after death, even if they don't want to believe in it.... For no human being passes this cliff, every human being is destined for the end of his bodily life whether he is warned beforehand or not, but such admonitions and warnings can cause a quiet restlessness in him, and that alone is a certain advantage, a possibility to occupy oneself temporarily with the spiritual kingdom in thought after all. His eyes must be directed towards the spiritual kingdom if only a small spiritual success is to be achieved, for the earthly world is My adversary's kingdom and he will not let go of people who only move within his kingdom. But he already loses influence if the human being temporarily enters areas which are not his kingdom, for then beings will come to meet him in the spiritual realm and try to influence him.... which, however, is impossible with pure worldly people who do not allow those spiritual beings access precisely because of their addiction to the world. But anyone who consciously strives towards the spiritual kingdom, who is aware of his earthly task and does everything to fulfil it, has already established the bond with the spiritual world which helps him.... He has also established the bond with Me, otherwise the desire for the spiritual kingdom would not have awakened in him.... For I also draw everyone who has directed his gaze spiritually, I then have the right to wrest him from My adversary, because the human being's free will can determine itself and this free will has therefore turned towards Me. And it will also certainly reach its aim, it will return to its father's house, it will feel itself as My child and call to Me in all trustfulness for help on its earthly path, for the supply of strength and light.... He will see his aim clearly before his eyes and unswervingly pursue it.... And this is My promise that I will meet every one of My children and bring him home to his father's house, that I will prepare a blissful life for him in strength and glory, in light and freedom....

Amen
