8153 The word must also be brought to the people of the world....

April 17, 1962: Book 86

The whole of creation is probably a mystery to the human being who lives only in the world and rarely or never directs his thoughts into the spiritual realm. He regards everything around him as the products of a force of nature, about which, however, he himself gives no thought and therefore cannot be mentally enlightened either.... He lives in the world, and for him the world means everything.... Nor does he seek to penetrate the secrets of creation, its purpose or the cause of its emergence.... And these people also gain nothing from their earthly life, they are merely parasites because they claim and seek to exploit everything in the world for themselves and their physical comfort and are once called away without having achieved any advantage for their soul. And it is also difficult to preach the gospel to them, to introduce them to the commandments of love or to encourage them to live a spiritual life next to their earthly life. And yet, an attempt shall be made to present the great responsibility of their soul to such people as well.... They shall be informed of their long course of development beforehand, even if they don't believe these ideas. And they should be made aware of the fate of a new banishment which they will not escape if they do not change their way of life.... Much is already gained if those people are developed a picture of what lies behind them and what they have to expect again in the case of the last failure on this earth.... for even if they don't believe such ideas the thought of it will nevertheless worry them at times and cause them to think further. Then they will also start to look at the works of creation around them with different eyes and seek to get behind the secrets of creation.... And then they can also be given a small light which they now have to let shine in free will, since they are by no means forced to change their thoughts. And this attempt shall be made again and again to inform worldly people of the cause and origin of the works of creation, because hours will also come for these people where they are thoughtful and give space to such thoughts which will be answered by luminous forces.... as long as they devote themselves to those thoughts. And anyone who is in possession of truth himself, who has penetrated the mystery of creation, should seize every opportunity where he can speak, where he can pass on the truth and introduce fellow human beings to spiritual knowledge. For God also guides His own, who want to serve Him, to those who still oppose Him, who are still under the control of the one to whom the world belongs.... And He lights a little light which can chase away the darkness of the night, if the resistance of the light is not so great that its glow fades and is deprived of its luminosity.... For resistance will not be forcibly broken on the part of God, but all help will be given to him who strives towards the light.... Often the desire for light will no longer be found, yet you should not tire of carrying a light into the darkness, for you will always recognize it where it is possible, and you yourselves will be filled with great joy if you succeed in making your fellow human beings, who are still in the midst of the world, think.... if you can draw their attention to the great danger and they just listen to you.... For every day is significant for every person when he turns away from the world and lets his thoughts wander into the spiritual kingdom. Although the human being determines the time himself through his free will, nothing should be left undone where he can be helped into the right direction of his will, for it concerns the soul's fate after the death of the body, which corresponds to that will in earthly life. The world will pass away, and often enough people will also be confronted with the transience of earthly goods.... And time and again individuals will be found who detach themselves from the world when they are truthfully informed about everything and their thoughts now take the direction which leads to the right goal.... when they are turned towards the spiritual kingdom and are now also truthfully answered from there.... which always means spiritual gain for the human being because he has now escaped the great danger of new banishment....

Amen
