Overcoming of matter in free will.
10. August 1948. B.D. NR. 4402.
Whether you let matter rule you or you make yourselves free of it, is alone your free will. Even if matter is taken from you through my will, this still does not mean the severing from it on your part, it only can lead to it. Because you must give up every desire of the heart towards it; you must remain completely untouched or make an effort to no longer feel the thoughts towards matter as painful, but be also able to think full of equanimity about lost goods, only then you have overcome matter. But you must also not seek to win back the lost full of eagerness and forget your actual purpose of life about it. You are certainly not refused to work earthly and to utilize your earthly work; you are to be active and make use of it for useful things, therefore you are to help it and the spiritual in it to get ascent development, but never is your striving for it allowed to put aside the spiritual striving or make it completely impossible. Because then you are still standing under the spell of matter; then it rules you, and in eternal times you do not get away from it. Because it will also pursue you into eternity; also after the death of the body you will still desire it with all senses and have to lead an agonizing life in the hereafter, because the desire for matter fills you all the time and you are now controlled by pretence goods, what means a state of torment for you; you will never see the desire granted and lose the state of torment not sooner until you yourselves miss out the desire to possess earthly goods. The becoming free of matter on earth is so worth striving for, because it allows an entry completely free from care into the spiritual kingdom, because in the same measure as you hand out earthly goods, therefore lose yourselves from it in the heart, you receive spiritual goods, which are far more valuable and make your entry into the opposite kingdom to a state of happiness. And I want to help you to it by me taking from you what you would hardly give voluntarily; I want to free you from matter, but it is always your free will, and you can always also abuse it and again eagerly strive for increase or winning back that what has gone lost for you. Then my will has been in vain, and matter controls you. But what you do not achieve on earth, will still cause you far greater difficulties in the spiritual kingdom, but you must overcome them once, if you want to become happy, it can just last eternal times, because in the spiritual kingdom such means of help are not at your disposal as on earth, and a quite strong will belongs to it, which you rarely will muster in the spiritual kingdom, why you do not rule matter, but matter rules you and makes you unable for ascent development, if help is not granted to you through prayer out of a loving hearts. Amen. B.D. NR. 4402.
