WHY IS MEMORY OF FORMER LIFE TAKEN
AWAY FROM MAN?
If you would contemplate your life on earth as the last chapter of a
developmental process which took endless time, you could cover the
final short stretch in a great hurry and you would not spare any trouble
to successfully finish the upwards development from this short life on
earth.
But, as you lack the memory of your former life and as you know only
with certainty this short passage on earth, you do not develop a special
zeal -- you are quite indifferent to that which lies before you. You do
not waste much thought about what you may expect after your life on
earth. But you have to go through life without memory of your former
life, so that you are not determined in your wants, thoughts and
actions. But if you could just look back a little, you would be terrified
and unable to live. Driven by this greatest fear, you would be willing
to do anything asked of you, if only you could be spared from that
terrible fate and be liberated from every materiel form.
1 do indeed have the power to influence you to a certain way of life
suitable to My will were 1 to allow you to take a glance to your past.
But My Love for you is greater, and for it to procure for you an
unlimited happiness, a compulsion of the will must be eliminated.
Because to be permitted this eternal bliss you have to live in entirely
free will in such a way that it corresponds to My will -- i.e. the eternal
order.
Understand that it is a work of My mercy and of My Love that 1
removed the memory of your former life from you -- on the one hand,
to spare you the knowledge of a vanquished life on earth, and, on the
other hand, to let you partake of a joy that is unlimited. But 1 did not
leave you without knowledge, even if that knowledge cannot be
proven. You heard consequently about your former state, but it did not
burden you uncommonly because you had overcome it.
But knowledge could encourage you also to greater spiritual
endeavors which, however, are always done in the most complete
freedom of will, and therefore brings blessings to you. And therefore I
can only again say to you. Decline nothing, but consider everything
that exposes to you the purpose and aim of your earthly life, and also
submit such knowledge to your contemplation which can then inform
you about your "pre-embodiment".
Reflect upon all this, and always live your earthly life so that you can
justify it to yourself, and therefore you need not fear a justification of
yourself before Me. But believe that your earthly existence is not
purposeless; that its purpose is contrary to the sole preservation and
satisfaction of the body, which is perishable and whose life-length you
cannot yourself decide.
And if you are not willing to accept additional knowledge, if you do
not wish to accept what is “approvable”, hold fast at least to the
“Word of God” – for, as soon as you listen to it in faithful seriousness,
a small light will be kindled within you,; many things that also cannot
be proven will then be open to your understanding and appear
believable!
Search only for a single form, whether it be in thought or through your
will, by which you can establish connection with the spiritual realm,
that you may send to your Creator, along with your works of love. The
latter is definitely a ligature with Myself Thus you will discover
secrets which will be unveiled to you, so that you may be helped to
successfully pass the last short walk of your development. But do not
walk with indifference, and do not permit your whole thinking to be
guided by corporal wishes, for I have surrounded you with many
things to inspire you to think.
Marvels of every kind are surrounding you that are the products of My
Love and of My might, and they should prove Myself also to you. So
search for the ligature with the One Who reveals Himself to you in the
creation, then will you be saved from the terrible situation of having to
pass again through all those creations, and you will be freed from the
form and can enter the blissful realm of the spirits where you will live
in freedom, light and force in eternal bliss.
AMEN
