4732 Unit of the soul with the spirit....

September 4, 1949: Book 54

Take care that your soul matures so that the spirit within you can unite with it, that is, so that it can make itself understood and influence it according to My will. And your soul will then mature if you make an effort to live in love, thus to do everything that is good, if you fight against your faults and weaknesses, if you strive to become perfect. The will alone is enough for the spirit to become active in you insofar as it informs the soul what it should do.... so that the soul thus sensitively strives for what is My will. The higher the soul's degree of maturity, the more comprehensible the spirit's expressions will be to it. The human being's thinking, feeling and wanting will be turned towards the spiritual, i.e. the human being will be more concerned with his inner life, with the higher development of his soul's state than with earthly thoughts. And all this is the working of the spirit in the human being which exerts its influence on the soul which has now united with it and allows itself to be drawn upwards. For the spirit in the human being is My share and consequently can only lead to Me, it seeks unification with the father-spirit which, however, only takes place when the soul is ready for it, when the human being, through a life of love, breaks through the barriers which previously separated him from Me. The soul, the thinking, feeling and willing in the human being must take the direction towards Me without compulsion, then it awakens the spirit spark in itself to life. And now start its activity and never without success.... Once you humans have achieved this, the spirit in you will no longer rest, it will again and again try to persuade the soul to listen to it.... i.e. the human being will no longer walk thoughtlessly but will seriously consider his fate after death, he will reflect on his purpose of earthly life, he will desire to know the truth and look for opportunities where it is offered to him.... His senses will be spiritually directed.... And this is what you should strive for first, that you grant the spiritual spark within you power over you, which again can only happen through serious will for perfection. As your will is, so is its working.... If the will is turned towards Me then it will certainly lead you towards Me, and you will feel it in the direction of your thoughts which increasingly concern themselves with the spiritual, because this benefits the soul, thus it willingly listens to the spirit. If you all try to reach this state, that the spirit can express itself in you, then you will have made great progress in your development. For as soon as the soul hands itself over to the influence of the spiritual substance every guarantee for its ascent development is given, then that which is My share will draw you to Me, then you will unite with Me and you will have fulfilled your task of earthly life once the union with Me has taken place....

Amen
