5463 The will determines the thoughts.... Responsibility....

August 17, 1952: Book 60

Thoughts are born out of the human being's will, for the spiritual forces in the beyond can work as his will is and convey their thought currents to the human being.... Thoughts are always expressions of those forces which are accepted where the human being's will corresponds to that of the spiritual transmitter.... Thus the spiritual forces intervene in the organic activity as soon as the human being himself forms thoughts.... and the content of these thoughts is the spiritual knowledge possessed by the spiritual forces. And thus the human being's thinking is, as it were, stimulated by these spiritual forces, but they cannot forcibly influence the human being's thinking, instead, the spiritual forces become active in accordance with the good or evil directed will, so that it is therefore up to the human being himself which spiritual information he mentally accepts, whether it affects him from the kingdom of light or from the kingdom of darkness, whether it is truth or error, for he himself also determines the beings which impart their mental information to him through his direction of will. The will determines thinking.... Thus the human being is responsible for his thinking. And therefore there is only one way to be relieved of responsibility.... if the human being trustingly hands himself over to God and the beings of the world of light so that his will and thoughts will be directed correctly.... Then the human being need not fear misguided thoughts, then he will be guided and led into right thinking, then beings of light will take responsibility and they will truly only exert the influence on the human being which promotes good and right thoughts. He need not fear anything if he commends himself to the Heavenly Father before every decision, before every thought activity which requires right thinking, if he asks all good beings for protection and help. Then his thinking will be right, because then the beings of darkness will not be able to gain access, then they will not be able to cause confusion in any area whatsoever. A good will turned towards God protects the human being from erroneous thinking. But you humans nevertheless have hours when your thoughts, that is, your will, are turned towards the world again, and God's adversary uses this to invalidate what good beings have conveyed to you. Then doubt sets in and the opposing forces immediately take effect. The desire for the world can hand you over to these opposing forces, for the bond with God, with the World of Light, is loosened by every thought which is still directed towards the world, by every desire which does not have spiritual goals. This is why every person should observe how far he is still earthly minded, he should loosen every earthly bond as far as possible in decisive questions, he should unreservedly devote himself to the spiritual world of light and he will then always be certain of being cared for by it, he will speak and think as is right before God and also feel the inner steadfastness as soon as he represents the thoughts which were imparted to him in this connection....

Amen
