Refutation of the doctrine of re-embodiment ....
Justice ....

A bright light is given to you if you have the will to let it shine .... A time of confusion also confuses people's thinking, their ability to think becomes weaker and they can no longer recognise spiritual truths as such, which is why a constant supply of them is necessary and this requires people who are willing to receive them, through whom spiritual knowledge can be conveyed to the seekers. Such instruction can take place in various ways, it can supplement knowledge which already exists, it can be offered as completely new knowledge if the human being had previously thought wrongly, but it can also clarify an area as a refutation of wrong teachings about which people are still unclear.

But the prerequisite is always that God-dedicated forces impart the spiritual thought material to the human being who, as a receptacle of the divine spirit, declares himself willing to serve God by spreading the truth. And this prerequisite is given as soon as heartfelt prayer for the supply of pure truth precedes every spiritual instruction .... All good spiritual forces only have one goal .... to unite the embodied spiritual beings on earth with God, i.e. to help them to do so. However, spiritual unification only exists in the state of light, i.e. in the state of realisation, which is the result of a life of love.

To reach this state, the human being is given earthly life in which he can develop his abilities, which are only weakly developed at the beginning of his embodiment but, depending on his will, can experience an ascending or also descending development. His course of life gives him every opportunity for this development, but it does not depend on more or less developed gifts of intellect but solely on the will for good, on the attitude towards God and thus the activity of love .... the striving for union with God through good works .... Only through this can the human being reach such a high level of spiritual development that he enters a stage of light already on earth, i.e., that he attains realisation ....

then the alignment with God has already taken place, and this state secures the human being's soul entry into the kingdom of light at his death, into spheres where it can participate in Christ's work of redemption, where it is able to help other souls back to wisdom, to light, by teaching love and thus being active in redemption. This degree of perfection can therefore easily be achieved by people who only have the will to do good and establish the connection with God through heartfelt prayer ....

The fact that people have different faculties of perception, that they are more or less intelligent, is by no means decisive for this will to do good. For the spiritual spark in the human being is brought to awakening through love. But love is born in the heart, and it can be exceedingly active in a person whose intellectual activity is considerably behind that of another person. And even where the light, the realisation of truth, does not become extraordinarily apparent during earthly life, the soul can be flooded with light on entering the kingdom of the beyond, i.e. knowledge can come to it in a flash and an abundance of knowledge can enable it to be eagerly active in love in the beyond.

And therefore the concerns that a less developed intellectual thinking could impair the soul's maturing are invalid, that therefore every soul must once be offered the opportunity to make use of advanced physical abilities in order to attain increased maturity on earth. Such souls can indeed have an extremely beneficial effect on earth insofar as they place their extraordinary intellectual abilities at the service of their fellow human beings in order to impart spiritual knowledge to them and thereby stimulate them to increased activity of love.

The soul should be given the opportunity to use its less developed intellectual abilities in order to achieve increased maturity on earth.

But a person can also develop love to the highest degree without special stimulation, and this person will indisputably attain the highest maturity. But his thinking can be completely uncomplicated, it need not reveal any higher wisdom, and yet his thinking and actions are guided by good spiritual forces which consider him according to his perceptive faculty and constantly impel him to increase his activity of love in order to achieve his union with God. For love is the first thing, wisdom is only born from it, and this wisdom is the soul's share as soon as it enters the spiritual kingdom.

But love can be fully developed by a unique embodiment on earth, because love can be practised in every situation of life, in every fate of life, in every physical and spiritual condition, because this only requires that the divine spark in the human being is ignited and kindled into the highest flame, and this can be done by the most primitive human being in thought if only he has the will to be good. But the knowledge of good and evil is in him, because both forces, good and evil, fight for his soul and therefore his thinking is influenced by both spiritual forces and the forces which his free will turns towards have the victory over him.

But how his will decides depends to a certain extent on his faith, on his attitude towards God and towards Christ's work of redemption, as soon as he has knowledge of it. Jesus Christ died on the cross for the weak who were not able of themselves to muster the will for good. But no one thins himself to be strong .... Although he has high spiritual abilities he nevertheless requires the blessings of the act of Salvation, the strong will purchased by Jesus Christ, in order to mature into a being of light during his earthly life .... And this is why Jesus Christ created the compensation, so that all can become blissfully happy who are of good will ....

(13.8.1944) Humanity is indeed very backward in its spiritual development, and it pays no attention to any possibilities of progress. This is an unmistakable process of development which, however, has its cause in the free will of man and for which he must also answer. Consequently, man cannot expect any benefit for something that has occurred through his own fault. But it would be a benefit if he could make up for the development he missed or neglected through his own fault in a renewed embodiment on earth. For he did not use his free will in the right way, but he was capable of doing so in every situation of life due to Christ's act of Salvation, Who broke His adversary's supremacy over people's will through His death on the cross.

There is therefore no justification for an imperfect soul's repeated life on earth which could be based on divine justice, for as soon as the human being has failed despite the granting of grace, he cannot claim any repetition of an embodiment on earth in order to attain the same degree of maturity as a person of good will can achieve during his life on earth, but he must then cover the far more difficult ascent in the beyond as just compensation for his wrong will.

People certainly have different insights, different knowledge and different earthly abilities, and this often leads them to the erroneous view that the maturing of the soul takes place according to these abilities. But then it is disregarded that only the activity of love is decisive, thus only the activity of love promotes the upward development. But love can be practised by every human being, because only the human being's will is necessary for this, it is an instinct of the heart, which is in no way connected with (dependent on?) a certain degree of knowledge or a particularly developed intellectual activity. That the cooling of love understandably also results in reduced knowledge is indisputable, and that is why the dark spiritual state also appears especially, because it is the consequence of unkindness, for which the soul therefore has to answer ....

(14.8.1944) Higher development can only be spoken of when the soul has united with the spirit, when it therefore practices love and thereby awakens the spiritual spark in itself to life, which now remains in constant activity, i.e. stimulates the soul to perpetual activity of love. Consequently, without love activity a standstill of development or even a decline in the case of obvious lack of love is to be recorded. However, the same measure of grace is available to every human being and the same opportunities are given to him for the maturing of the soul. If he does not make use of them and also leaves the graces unnoticed that they cannot take effect in him, then he must also accept the consequences according to divine justice, i.e., in the hereafter he must himself cope with the state he got into through his own fault, i.e. deservedly ....

It would then be an injustice, so to speak, if he, who has not utilised the great grace of embodiment for the salvation of his soul, were once again offered the same opportunity to make up for what he has neglected .... This would be an injustice to those who made full use of their earthly life by disregarding their body, by renouncing and constantly abstaining from the pleasures of the world. Deeper knowledge is not absolutely necessary but loving activity is, and that is why even the most ignorant person can develop upwards if only he is lovingly active, for knowledge will then come to him as soon as he needs it for his fellow human beings or he enters the spiritual kingdom. For then he can delight the souls in the beyond with his knowledge, which is then imparted to him in a flash, so that he can work in love again as a bearer of light in the spiritual kingdom ....

Amen
