2552 Activity of the beings in the beyond.... transmission of knowledge....

November 15, 1942: Book 33

The spiritual eye recognizes the processes in the spiritual kingdom and can therefore also see the beings' activity, that is, it can gain an overview of the activity of those beings which extends both to earth as well as to the creations outside of earth. Yet only rarely does the human being on earth have the ability to see with spiritual eyes because this requires a high degree of maturity. And this is why people usually have a completely wrong idea of the beyond, of the kingdom which is outside of earth and which receives the souls of those who have ended their earthly life. And because their knowledge is inadequate they form a wrong idea, for the knowledgeable person realizes that the spiritual kingdom also makes demands on its inhabitants, only the activity is different from that on earth. And as soon as he would be able to see spiritually he would also be able to recognize the nature of the activity and explain to his fellow human beings what the activity of the beings in the beyond consists of. But divine love nevertheless wants to inform people of it, it wants to impart knowledge to them which is intended to contribute towards eager activity of love on earth. For this activity in the beyond is likewise an extremely busy activity of love. The spiritual kingdom harbours more or less God-connected and God-distant beings which live a life full of light or without light in eternity.... they are beings who constantly enjoy bliss or lead a pitiful life in agonizing poverty. And the spiritual being full of light tries to change the latter state in order to likewise lead the beings of darkness to the state of happiness. And this endeavour requires an extremely lively activity, a constant work of love in untiring patience and perseverance. An activity like on earth is out of the question, because the spiritual kingdom is not a material world, it is only a world of thoughts and wishes, it is a spiritual world where nothing physical, visible or tangible exists, but everything is only present in the thought world of the being and the thought is again the epitome of the love power from God flowing towards the being. It is a rich knowledge possessed by beings whose fullness of light testifies to their union with God. And this knowledge also constitutes the being's state of happiness, for through knowledge everything is bright, light and clear. The state of darkness is therefore a state of ignorance, which depresses the being inconceivably, so that the light-filled being takes pity on it and wants to help the being of darkness. On earth the loving human being alleviates his fellow human being's hardship with earthly gifts, in the beyond such gifts are no longer possible, and thus only spiritual gifts can be offered to the being in need, which suffers due to its lack of knowledge. Thus only a mental transfer can take place, and this is the activity of the beings in the beyond, that they try to increase the thought material of the beings without light and direct it into such channels that this thought material corresponds to truth. And this can only happen through perpetual teaching, through a transfer of that which gives joy to the giving being itself.... through a passing on of divine strength to the completely powerless beings which desire strength....

Amen
