7633 Distress and help of souls in the hereafter....
June 26, 1960: Book 80
You are offered everything that is helpful for the maturing of the souls. For you only stay on this earth for the purpose that the soul matures, that it spiritualizes itself, that it becomes able to enter the kingdom of light when it departs from this earth. And the time of your earthly life has been granted to you for this maturing, or it is also the last time of your embodiment on earth, when your soul as a human being still has the possibility to become free of all external form and to be able to enter eternity as a free spirit. For it can also leave its body and still be bound, it cannot yet have regained its spiritual freedom if it has not properly evaluated earthly life. But then it is also deprived of the possibility of ever becoming free in the kingdom of the beyond through its own strength, for it no longer possesses this strength because it loses its vitality upon the death of the body and could not take over spiritual strength because it failed to acquire it on earth. And then such a soul is in a bad way, for it is dependent on the help of the beings of light or on loving intercession, yet in such a way that its will remains free and is rarely directed differently than it was on earth.... that the beings of light experience rejection, just as on earth every person experienced rejection who wanted to instruct the soul in a favourable way. And then only intercession remains for the soul.... And it can praise itself happily when good thoughts follow it into the spiritual kingdom, when loving fellow human beings take care of it and intercede with God for such poor souls.... For they will experience the strength of love which comes to them through this prayer, and the strength of love is often able to change the soul's thinking, the strength of love is able to give it a small light which illuminates its long path in the kingdom of the beyond. But the souls which have acquired little love on earth are in a bad way.... which are followed by few good thoughts and are still too immature to order their thoughts themselves and to ask for help.... The souls may in no way be forced to change their will, they can only be influenced and must now voluntarily surrender themselves to this influence, then their state can slowly experience an improvement, and then they will also show themselves to be more open to the light beings' efforts and accept their teachings. This is why it can often take eternal times until a soul awakens from its night, until it longs for light and strives towards the light when it temporarily shines upon it. For God does not leave a soul in its misery forever, yet He always leaves it the freedom of will, otherwise there would truly no longer be an unredeemed soul on earth and also in the kingdom of the beyond. For the soul must have found redemption through Jesus Christ.... And if it does not find this on earth it has to seek and find Him in the spiritual kingdom. And this often requires long instructions until it has found faith in the divine redeemer and calls upon Him for help.... But then its redemption is also assured, then it will inexorably take the path of ascent in the spiritual kingdom, for then it will have handed itself over to the One Who died on the cross in order to redeem people.... But the time of the earthly change as a human being is intended to bring redemption to the soul. It shall find Jesus Christ in earthly life as a human being, it shall hand over its guilt to Him while still on earth and sincerely appeal to Him to release it from all guilt for the sake of His blood, which He paid as the purchase price for all souls that once fell and once walk across earth to test their will in order to gain the last maturity of soul. And it can consider itself fortunate if it has found the divine redeemer Jesus Christ before the death of its body.... Then it will truly be able to enter the kingdom of the beyond redeemed, then no darkness will surround it, it will no longer need to endure suffering and torment, it will be free from every bondage and allowed to be blissfully happy in light and strength in the spiritual kingdom, in the kingdom of light, which only redeemed souls are allowed to enter and which is truly the right home of every soul, for which it should long and do everything on earth in order to be able to enter this home again when its life on earth is over. Then it will be and remain blissfully happy, then it will have properly evaluated earthly life.... then it will have become free from every bondage, and it will be blissfully happy in this freedom...._>Amen
