8655 Voluntary transformation of the creature into a child....

October 25, 1963: Book 91

I will not give you up for ever, and that means that you will certainly return to Me once, because My love belongs to you, which never ever lets go of that what has come out of it. Once therefore you reach the aim, the last unification with Me and once I also reach My aim, which I have set for Myself with the creation of beings: that you have voluntarily changed yourselves out of My creatures to My children.... that you have become gods, which I could not create Myself, which the free will of the being itself had to form to it, i.e.., the beings had to remain in perfection although they could also assume an inverted nature.... or they had to voluntarily change themselves out of the inverted nature back to their original nature.... So the being could still turn away from Me so far, I however did not let it fall, I did not leave it to its self-chosen fate, but I pursued it with My love and created all possibilities to bring the being on its way back, which means as much as that I took over its guidance from the deep to the height and for the time being eliminated My opponent, who was to blame for the turning away of the spiritual from Me, that he could no longer exert influence on the beings, which once had followed him voluntarily. And I have often explained to you that this happened through the binding of all dissolved particles in matter, in the most diverse creations in the universe.... And as soon as this banishment of the spiritual has taken place, the way of return is entered and now leads upwards. All that is bound in creation is now still belonging to the adversary, and that is why it can also be said: The material creation is the kingdom of My opponent. Nevertheless the power over this bound spiritual is withdrawn from him, and he cannot hinder it in its ascent development, until it once is so far matured that it must cover the last stage as man, but is then again at the mercy of the power of My opponent. I must leave this freedom to it because you voluntarily chose him as your lord when you were to decide for Me or for him.... But again My love also pursues you during the whole earth life, because now we both fight for the soul of man, which is the once fallen original being, which is to return again completely to Me. He spends all his influence to determine man to acts of unkindness, while I again and again seek to stimulate him to a love life and also present its effect to him.... But man decides himself, and he cannot be forced from any side to it. But he has a father, Who loves His child, and therefore I will again and again reveal Myself to man, so that he learns to recognize Me and My nature and returns My love. Because then he certainly also turns away from My opponent, and then the return to the father has taken place, because love binds us together indissolubly. But then also the return into the spiritual kingdom must take place, because this kingdom is the only existing one, while earth as well as all visible creation is only an illusory world, which only exists for the still immature spiritual, which because of its immaturity cannot enter into the kingdom of light. into the only-existing world, and as long as the soul (also) still imagines itself in earthly material surroundings, {even} when it {the soul} has left the earthly body, until it has changed to love. Because this can also still happen in the hereafter as long as the gates to the spiritual kingdom are not closed. But the time is coming, and it is very close, when also this possibility will no longer be, to make up for in the kingdom on the other side what was neglected on earth.... The time is coming when the gates to eternity are closed for all souls, which still had the favour to be allowed to live until the end of this earth and to free themselves from the power of your (their) enemy. For by then a cleansing will have already taken place, a separation will have taken place from the goats and the sheep.... I will fetch the ones who are Mine to Me into a kingdom of peace, and they will be allowed to leave the earth in a living body because I have determined them to be the tribe of the new human race on the new earth.... But what does not belong to Mine, that will irrevocably go towards the new banishment, because for this spiritual there is no longer possibility in the kingdom on the other side to mature there further. It has reached such a low that also in the hereafter only a sinking could take place, which in the end would have to again lead to a new banishment. I also know about the state of the soul of all men before the end, and also hell is emptied, which holds so completely hardened souls that also these are banished anew in hard matter, because with them no ascent possibility is to be seen, but they once also have to again start the way back to Me, if the aim is to be reached. Every person, every once fallen soul, can know that it is loved by Me and is never left to itself. I also know what is useful for every single soul, but I leave it free will, and according to this also (its) fate will be decided when the end of this earth has come, because I do not tolerate a standstill in development, and that is why I also put an end to the work of My opponent, as soon as he seeks to stop the upward development. Then the end of a redemption period has come, and a new one has to start again, the order has to be restored in which all creatures have to move if they once want to reach the aim.... to the complete unification with Me...._>Amen
