Existence of God. Wise men of the world. Heart and Intellect.
15. January 1949 B.D. NR. 4541.
The wise man of the world finds it often difficult believing in a divinity, because his intellect is obliged to draw other conclusions through knowledge, but which is not completely in accordance with truth. Already one erroneous opinion about the development of the earth leads to wrong ideas, and then it is difficult, to accept an eternal creator, a being, which should certainly be recognizable through its expression of power, however mostly does not want to be recognized. Science seeks to prove everything. Where this is not possible for it, it does not really admit its incompetence, but it simply does not acknowledge what is inaccessible to its research. And therefore it builds up on a wrong view, and in the end the way to the eternal divinity is so difficult to find, even so the will for it is there. All research should start to make the existence of God clear, which indeed cannot be proven, but is believed full of inner conviction. Then every research will go quickly and successfully. But to first reach this convinced faith, man must, despite the sharpness of the intellect, eliminate latter and devote himself to the feelings of the heart; he must leave all science aside and like a child let himself be instructed from the inside, i.e. accept as truth, what he imagines or wishes according to feeling. He must as it were dream with open eyes. Then he will always have a divinity in mind, which directs and steers everything and of which he knows that it carries him. The most inner wish of a man is and remains a strong power over him; only the intellect of the world seeks to suffocate this wish, because also he speaks to the intellect who wants to push away a divinity, but who cannot reach the heart of man and for that reason seeks to influence the intellect of man the harder. Through the heart God expresses himself; through the intellect his opponent when the heart is not stronger and draws the intellect on its side. Then it is also possible to recognize God intellectually, and then heart and intellect strive towards the eternal divinity; then also science will build up on another foundation; it will draw other conclusions, which are truly no wrong conclusions, because as soon as a research takes its start with the belief in a divinity, it will not remain without success and also come close to truth, no matter on which field it starts. Then science and faith will no longer stand in opposition to each other, but only complement each other, and only then knowledge is free of error, when it harmonises with faith in God as omnipotent, wise and loving being, which understands everything, what was, is and will remain until all eternity. Amen. B.D. NR. 4541.
