What is spiritual knowledge ....
Truth ....

To push people's thinking into a different direction against their will would be completely useless for their souls. They must strive to change out of their innermost impulse, only then will a change of thinking also take place, and only then is the truth to be conveyed to them so that they can examine it themselves, i.e. take a stand on it and, with a serious will, also recognise it as truth. It is a false assumption that a person's intellect cannot join the pure truth and that the person therefore cannot be held responsible because he is endowed by God with the gift of intellect which makes it impossible for him to accept the truth ....

As long as the human being uses this gift correctly, i.e. he uses it in order to understand the truth, he will not be held responsible.i.e. he uses it in order to come close to the eternal divine, he will also have the ability to distinguish between good and evil with his intellectual thinking, and as soon as he now affirms good and denies evil, he will also affirm pure truth because it is from God, just as he will deny error and lies as the work of God's adversary. And the recognition of truth as such and of error is also to be regarded as affirmation and denial ..... The man who wants the good will also intellectually recognise as good that which has its origin in God.

But if his will resists a serious examination, or if he is prejudiced against spiritual knowledge imparted to him, then also the feeling for good and evil is still weakly developed in him, and then he also resists accepting the truth. He also does not stimulate his intellectual thinking because he does not seriously take a stand but rejects it because he does not want to accept it. And then he cannot be instructed or changed in his rejection .... his will turns against it, and this decides. He is not yet mature for the truth, otherwise he would desire it and hold on to it if it is offered to him. For the desiring one also recognises it for what it is. The one who desires the truth also desires God at the same time, no matter how he imagines the eternal Deity. He recognises Her and turns to Her through his desire, for God and Truth are one.

But he who denies God also denies the truth, he who does not seek God also does not seek the truth, and thus he will never penetrate spiritual knowledge because it does not exist for him. There is a knowledge which eclipses all earthly knowledge, even if it cannot be proven, for knowledge is everything that gives enlightenment, be it in an earthly or spiritual sense. Earthly knowledge is enlightenment about earthly questions, spiritual knowledge is enlightenment about questions which touch the spiritual realm, only that the former can be proven, whereas there is no proof for the latter as long as the human being stays on earth. (16.10.1944) Nevertheless, it is a knowledge, a wealth of thought, which must be valued higher than earthly knowledge .... spiritual knowledge is just as gained as earthly knowledge, because intellectual activity must first have set in before thought material conveyed from within or without becomes the human being's property, for thinking about it absolutely belongs to the latter.

If it has not become conviction it cannot be called knowledge. But then it makes a person happy because it enlightens, because it pulls away the veil from things that were previously hidden from him. And a person can call himself knowledgeable if he has solved questions and the result fully satisfies him, but only if he has found the result with the assistance of the divine spirit .... by appealing to God for enlightenment and right thinking. For even the wrong thinker can be convinced of the truth of that which was imparted to him in error. But if he has not called upon the eternal Deity for enlightenment of his thinking, then he never has the guarantee of being in right knowledge, i.e. in truth. For God alone is the giver of truth, because He Himself is truth ....

God does not depart from His conditions under which He distributes truth ..... But the first condition is the recognition of Himself. Whoever does not recognise God, whoever denies Him, his thinking cannot be right, because he is under the spell of the one who pulls against the truth. And until he turns to the Giver of truth in prayer so that He will guide him into the right knowledge, his thinking will remain wrong and produce results which completely contradict the truth. And it will not be right with him, for God's adversary likewise fights with sharp weapons since he strives to suppress the truth and to completely blind people's thinking. And he will succeed where faith in God is lacking, where a Being Which is loving, wise and omnipotent is not recognised, for God's adversary has great power over those people ....

Amen
