Lightlessness ....

B.D. No. 2404 July 11th 1942

It is a state of complete lack of light in which humanity walks as long as it is not in the truth. People themselves do not feel this during their earthly life because it offers them enough things which appear desirable to them. But if they leave earthly life without first having gained realization, i.e. without having recognized the truth, then their fate is the darkest environment, and this is an extremely agonizing state which requires great effort in order to be changed into a state of light. God's care therefore constantly applies to His creatures so that they may still reach the light .... to knowledge .... and He wants to have this spread on earth through people who receive His emanation, His spirit, without resistance. He communicates Himself to them and thus turns them into light bearers, who in turn can now also spread the light .... distribute it to the people who walk in lightlessness. They must therefore become knowledgeable themselves in order to be able to pass on knowledge, they must be instructed in the truth in order to be able to teach the truth again. And this truth is imparted to them by the spirit from God .... It descends upon people and fills their hungry hearts. Every person capable of love takes part in this instruction, for he will accept without reluctance everything that is now conveyed to him by those bearers of light, yet it is imperative that loving activity precedes it before the divine word, which is truth, can become effective in those who receive it. And therefore the truth can only take hold where a life of love is lived, whereas people who ignore this remain in the same ignorance and darkness of spirit ....
