Bliss of the soul in receiving the divine word ....

No earthly joy equals the bliss which the reception of the divine Word means for the soul, although the body, the human being's intellect, has no share in the blissful sensation. But the reception of the divine Word is always connected with the soul's dwelling in spiritual spheres where the body cannot follow and therefore also remains untouched by the impressions. But the soul is flooded with strength and light and strengthens itself in the short time of its stay in the spiritual kingdom.

It is, so to speak, removed from the heaviness of earth but connected to the body to such an extent that it can transfer itself back to earth at any time, which is why the state of receiving spiritual announcements is always a conscious one, because the body is waiting for what the soul will announce to it from its impressions in the spiritual kingdom, which are always conveyed to the intellect in the form of instructions. But the body will never receive the soul's entire spiritual wealth, for the soul sees much which it cannot describe in words and therefore also cannot reproduce comprehensibly, but which nevertheless remains to it as a spiritual treasure which it will be able to lift after its entrance into the spiritual kingdom.

What it imparts to the intellect is significant for the duration of earthly life and contributes to ascent development, and therefore it should also be passed on to fellow human beings. The short time of receiving spiritual knowledge through the voice of the spirit is immensely profitable for the soul, and areas open up to it which it has never known before and which are also inaccessible to the human being's intellect. It receives rays of light everywhere, thus knowledge remains with it even if it has left those areas.

Whether it can, however, also take the knowledge to earth, i.e. also impart it to the body, that the human being as such takes cognisance of hitherto unknown things, depends on the will of the person, how far he also seeks to penetrate the truth intellectually. After a connection with the spiritual kingdom the soul will always communicate itself to the body, but to what extent the communication takes place is determined by the human being himself through his will.

It can therefore cause bliss for its soul through its willingness to receive spiritual goods, although the soul's communications to the body are not of the depth and extent that they also make the human being intellectually happy, yet the soul communicates differently but is always strengthened through a connection with the spiritual kingdom, and its desire for spiritual nourishment will always increase, which is why the person who accepts the divine Word will never cease to attain spiritual connections, for the soul will always hunger more and more for the food that suits it and will no longer be satisfied with what the world can offer it once it has received from the spiritual kingdom, which makes it infinitely more happy.

Sometimes, therefore, the soul withdraws into itself, i.e., i.e., the body knows little of its spiritual successes, yet it will never be left entirely without knowledge, which increases the more the intellect also demands enlightenment ....

Amen
