8135 Reception of the pure truth requires preconditions....

March 25, 1962: Book 86

I only ever endeavour to convey the pure truth to you. Yet you will often notice that the views of My own also differ from each other.... the views of those who strive towards Me, who want to belong to My own and who also unite with Me through prayer and prayer of love. But sometimes they also hold on to what they have taken over from others as truth but which cannot claim to be truth. The human being has to completely free himself from adopted spiritual knowledge and request the pure truth from Me Myself. Then he will think correctly, then he will only be encouraged in it, but he will also receive clarification where he still errs.... And again and again it has to be emphasized that the desire for truth is the first condition to stand in truth. Time and again the human being should account for whether this desire is inherent in him, and time and again he should examine the starting point of what spiritual knowledge he possesses.... And where this desire for truth is serious there will also always be the same truth which has taken its origin from Me. And this truth can only be imparted to you humans through the working of the spirit, which is why you should all make an effort to bring love within yourselves to highest development, so that My spirit can work directly in you. And then you should let yourselves be gifted by Me, put aside every preconceived opinion and only ever accept what I send to you.... You should only ever listen to what My spirit imparts to you. And you are also guaranteed to live in truth, you will eliminate every error yourselves because then you will also recognize it as error as soon as My spirit is at work.... But how few people know about this process, how few people know that the purest truth is accessible to them if only they live according to My will, that is, if they fulfil the prerequisites which require the 'working of My spirit'.... People try to gain possession of the truth intellectually, through diligent study, and they only acquire human knowledge which will never give them the certainty that it is pure truth.... But I show you the path to reach this truth. But you can never exclude Me in the process, for I, as the eternal truth, have also reserved it for Myself to convey the truth to you humans if you fulfil the conditions I have attached to the supply of pure truth: that you shape yourselves through love such that you enable the 'working of My spirit' within you.... Then I Myself will be able to convey the truth to you, and I will also do so because it is necessary that you live in truth. But most of you humans are not willing to surrender the spiritual knowledge you possess, because everyone believes to be instructed in the truth and does not want to part with it. And therefore you often set barriers yourselves which I will not break through due to free will.... But this also hinders the reception of pure truth, which requires a desire for truth and is therefore also connected with the complete surrender of what spiritual possessions the human being has.... Yet he will be all the happier when he is instructed by Me Myself and receives the spiritual knowledge again, but which he can and will now represent with conviction as pure truth. And such spiritual knowledge, which originated directly from Me, will always agree, and then you humans will also be convinced of its truth, because I Myself will give you the inner certainty through the spirit which you need in order to be able to represent the truth to your fellow human beings. But since you humans know little about such spiritual activity within you, you only ever use your intellect for help, and this will produce many different results.... You will all assume that you think correctly but you will have no inner certainty and be unable to provide evidence for it. And this is why time and again divisions will arise, this is why many different opinions are held and humanity walks along in ignorance or adopts wrong ideas when it concerns spiritual territory which cannot be fathomed in any other way than through My influence on the human being's thoughts.... through enlightenment of the spirit, which requires a life of love and conscious contact with Me. You humans could always move into truth as soon as you only make contact with the giver of truth, as soon as you seriously desire the truth from Me Myself....

Amen
