8912 Question: blood transfusion....

January 14, 1965: Book 93

This is a special question which you want to have answered.... And I must give you this answer so that you understand it, that you do not get the wrong idea, because it is about the rescue of human life. The endeavour of a man will always be to rescue the other out of a trouble, and what therefore has neighbourly love as prerequisite, cannot be approved of otherwise. Often a human life depends on it, and what is now done to rescue this one will also be blessed by Me. Then also My wisdom will know to prevent it that the soul is burdened with immature substances.... And the human being can be reassured that his further course of development will be endangered by this.... But the danger exists that a man is still more hindered to work on his soul through blood transfusion of still completely immature substances, if he was already worldly orientated before, and he is then additionally burdened through such transfusion.... but also reversed he can now go to the soul work with increased will, and in both cases then also My wisdom speaks with, because the former can just as well take the way to Me through his suffering, and he can now bring the soul substances to maturity. He only has to muster an increased will, what is possible for every spiritual striving man, because he can take his way to Me and is to intimately ask Me that I may bless this blood transfusion, so that it does not do him harm. As long as it is about the rescue of human life, as long as I do not end the life of a man Myself, also such means are allowed, which are to save the man out of neighbourly love from a premature end.... And if it is now My will that life should be preserved, then he will escape with his life.... But in the other case even the most effective antidotes are of no use (nothing = ed).... if life is to be ended by Me.... If every man could establish the bond with Me before that he approaches Me Myself for My blessing, then he could apply everything without hesitation, he would take no harm to his soul, but still contribute to the purification of the substances, which additionally burden him.... And since you now know that you should also help the body to spiritualization, since you know that also everything that belongs to the body is also belonging to a fallen original spirit, which still wants to embody itself, and you therefore help this and it has an all the easier earth course, then it is just only up to the spiritual attitude of man to therefore strive for the spiritualization of body and soul.... Who does not have this attitude towards the purpose of earth life, for him it is trivial whether and how many unspiritual substances in him wait for redemption, and for him the knowledge about it is worthless.... if only he does not lose his life, which is always only turned towards the world...._>Amen
