Spiritual chaos …. World conflagration …. Messiah …. The forerunner of the Lord ….

B.D. 0801 from March 9th 1939, taken from Book No. 17

And it will come to pass in the world as precisely as it is written, that no stone will remain on the other, for in these days the world will experience a complete breakdown of everything that has been preserved for thousands of years. All traditions will be opposed; it will mean incomparable chaos in a spiritual as well as in an earthly respect …. People will no longer be able to differentiate to what extent their opinions are right or wrong. They will allow themselves to be driven beyond all bounds, and in the end it will be a spiritual waste-land. The most incongruous rumours will emerge regarding the second coming of the Messiah, and a huge world conflagration will throw humanity into extreme adversity and despair.

Yet this crisis can most certainly be controlled by indisputable faith in Jesus Christ, the divine Redeemer. The path of anyone who has chosen Him as a leader through earthly life will bypass all distress and, protected by His love, the earthly valley with all its horrors will only vaguely touch him, yet the adversity will be indescribably great for all who do not carry the divine Saviour within their hearts, and the suffering on earth will appear unbearable for him, he will torture himself with all kinds of physical and spiritual problems.

And into this chaos a light will shine, giving everyone standing in this light much comfort and hope …. In these days a bearer of spiritual truth will arise amongst you. He will proclaim the Word and fill people with much hope, he will be a powerful speaker before the Lord and announce His second coming and, permeated by love for humanity, eagerly preach the Word which the Lord Himself had taught on earth …. And he will be a forerunner of the Lord. Yet his hour will come even though people will try to stop him accomplishing his mission. The world will show an interest in his fate on earth, some of the world will recognise his assignment and working as God’s will …. yet the majority who live in utter spiritual darkness will demand his death.

And during this time the earth will rumble and the Lord God will warn and admonish humanity with a stern voice to turn around and consider the salvation of their souls, and the suffering on earth will be extensive and is intended to show you humans that the hour of Judgment is close. You ought to look within yourselves and remember the Lord Who proclaimed this time to you in Word and Scripture ….

Amen

Spiritual feeding …. truth …. revelation ….

B.D. 0802 from March 9th 1939, taken from Book No. 17

Accept the spiritual feeding as the greatest gift of grace from the divine saviour and make yourselves worthy of this grace. And whoever has been given the office of being a mediator, who is allowed to receive these graces in order to pass them on to people on earth …. who fulfils this office with joyful giving …. his spirit will be restlessly active and gain insight into all creation. He will be introduced to the divine creator by Himself in living contact, and everything that was veiled before his eyes until now will, as it were, emerge as a clear bright image before his spiritual eye, and the human being will be knowledgeable and recognize the pure truth. And thus a new time will also have to …. A revelation will soon become known which the lord also gave to people for this purpose, so that they will recognize any intervention of a divine being. Whoever now recognizes the truthfulness of His words in a state of compulsion and derives the benefit from it by affirming himself and fulfilling all the requirements of His word has likewise been seized by the power of the divine spirit. He is now without any doubt …. it is no longer difficult for him to believe …. his heart turns to his fellow human beings in love, and from that hour his spiritual treasures increase ….

Amen

Freedom of the spirit …. otherworldly auxiliaries to earthly activity ….

B.D. 0803 from March 10th 1939, taken from Book No. 17

Lift up your spirit and let it rapture itself from the earth and you will hear the language of the almighty creator. Experiencing a visible sign of His omnipotence opens the way for you, for your faith will be strengthened and through profound faith you can now also grasp the works of the creator which are not visible to you. It is therefore a tremendously important task to grant the spirit in you unhindered freedom to rise into the realm of divine activity. Admittedly, the outer cover of the spirit is not able to do the same, which is why a separation of spirit and body has to precede, which is only feasible when auxiliary forces are at the body’s disposal which have a determining influence on its activity when the spirit of the same swings itself upwards. This is to be understood in such a way that, as it were, all actions which the body now carries out require a certain driving force and this driving force is precisely the working of the helpful spiritual forces. This activity cannot be felt by the human being in any other way than that he is spiritually active at the same time and also fully fulfils his earthly task …. He will be able to receive and give at the same time, he will be strengthened mentally and physically unhindered, since eager spiritual striving need not result in a reduction of physical activity if the latter is trustingly handed over to helpful beings. It is always and only the human being’s will that he, if he is receptive, is considered in every way. Anyone who is continuously active for the shaping of his soul remains in constant communion with good spiritual strength, it is at his disposal at all times if he desires to use it. If the human being has recognized this and willingly entrusted himself into the care of his spiritual friends, he need not fear a failure of the strength he needs for earthly life and earthly activity. Divinely, the human being is never asked to do more than he is able to do, and there are always unlimited resources at his disposal. Anyone who in this faith makes use of all these means for the full development of his spirit is also relieved of all burdens of earthly life …. he now still walks on earth, as it were, but has already stripped himself of all fetters if he seeks the supernatural in lively spiritual activity and is able to mentally separate himself from earth with full will. Such an entry into higher spheres makes the earthly state immensely easier for him and brings the soul the necessary maturity in a far shorter time …. and thus the human being should cultivate spiritual life within himself with full will, he should not allow himself to be deterred by the earthly task set for him …. he should always remain aware of the fact that countless beings are willing to help him fulfil it if their help is consciously requested. For only in this way can the soul be granted assistance, and all spiritual strength is always ready to provide it with this assistance ….

Amen

Essence of the Godhead …. fathoming-wanting …. indifference ….

B.D. 0804 from March 10th 1939, taken from Book No. 17

The essence of the deity is unfathomable to people as long as they dwell on earth, for an infinitely wise spirit hides behind the concept of God …. a being Which is incomprehensible to the human being and yet is in closest contact with him again. Only the state of perfection of the human being or his soul enables it to penetrate the greatest problem and solve it. Even then not yet in the most exhaustive way, but then explicably revealing the most sublime divine being to a being of light. But the human being on earth is never able to come closer to the solution of this question …. a limit is set, as it were, which cannot be exceeded in earthly life, and when the human being begins to sense the greatness of the deity it is only the reflection of Him Who can never ever be recognized in all greatness and sublimity. And thus all striving for truth concerning the divine creator Himself would have to be completely futile on earth, since this question can never be completely resolved. However, a desire to fathom the eternal deity will be pleasing to the father in heaven because it presupposes a desire for Him and thus also an acknowledgement of this deity as the creator of all things and the beginning of all being. A complete indifference towards this question will also exclude faith in the deity, and such people will only reach that state of light in an inconceivably long time …. after endless long struggles and suffering in the beyond, yet on earth they are still very far away from asking spiritual questions, and the question of divinity in particular will only force itself upon him when a certain degree of maturity has been reached and the soul frequently rises into spiritual regions. However, as long as the human being is still too attached to matter the soul will be held in bonds, it will neither seek enlightenment about the highest being nor strive to spiritually unite with this being, and therefore the soul’s state is still a very desolate one, it has not yet recognized its origin and remains wandering and lightless as long as it does not enter the spiritual bridge which points it into regions of light ….

New creations …. change of forms …. cover and substance of souls ….

B.D. 0805 from March 11th 1939, taken from Book No. 17

It is a law from eternity that the spirit of God embodies itself in all creatures, that therefore nothing exists which does not contain the divine spark, and therefore the whole universe with all creations is spirit of God and therefore cannot be transient, which is why a perpetual regeneration in nature is the same law, which is comprehensively clarified with the imperishability of all spiritual which animates nature. Therefore, even if a perpetual change of the external form takes place, the animating element of this form always remains, because otherwise the whole of creation could not exist, but where the spirit from God does not want to indwell a thing, it would have to cease to be. It is indisputable that the spirit of God is also at work there, when new formations of all kinds become noticeable …. where, so to speak, the most marvellous new creations arise out of nothing, which, however, are already conditioned in themselves and spring from an old form that is apparently close to dying. One can constantly observe in nature that all changes of form always occur when everything that exists is already in a state that visibly shows a dying off …. And from this dying off everything that comes is born to life. The awakening to new life always results in the slow death of the old, and this is therefore already proof that the spiritual strength only leaves the outer shell in order to continue its progress in a new shell, and this usually in a completely different form, so that a permanent higher development of the spiritual entity is connected with it and thus the outer form only serves this purpose. The state of maturity of the being can already be recognized by the nature of the form, for the tinier the external form is, the more undeveloped is also the soul-substance animating it …. In larger living beings innumerable such soul-particles unite again and thus strive upwards together. And thus it can be seen how necessary the recurring transformation and resurrection in nature is for the progress of all spiritual beings, and how all coming into being and passing away is and must remain a law arranged according to plan by the creator, precisely in order to guarantee the higher development of all spiritual entities and at the same time to allow the work of creation to exist and to constantly enliven it ….

Spirit bearer …. purpose of all created things …. growth of plants ….

B.D. 0806 from March 12th 1939, taken from Book No. 17

Everything created has the primary purpose of serving as a spirit carrier but at the same time also contributes to the preservation of the whole, for one is, as it were, created for the other and necessary for the existence of the latter. No thing in creation was created completely without purpose, rather, it will always mean a complement in such a way that either one draws the vitality from the other or the work of creation corresponds to other needs but has some purpose for the benefit or preservation of the various creatures. It is only to be observed that all spiritual, which enlivens this creation, is not touched by the outer purpose of the form enveloping it, that therefore all spiritual is active in itself completely irrespective of earthly activity, while the outer form always contributes to the perfection of another form and therefore remains equally active in the earthly sense. What is taken from the earth for the growth of the plant is, so to speak, always the outer cover of some soul substance, which is now taken up into the plant world, where it brings about a new form for the same purpose, while the spiritual substance always takes up residence again in the new form, increases through the soul substance taken from the previous form and thus shapes itself into ever greater beings, which likewise have their purposeful destiny in the whole of creation ….

Long-distance effect of thoughts ….

B.D. 0807 from March 12th 1939, taken from Book No. 17

The human being is most likely to recognize a supersensible power in the distant effect of thoughts, for then he must see all human intervention eliminated and admit that something is at work which he would otherwise want to deny. But if something obviously comes to light which thoroughly shakes the other will to deny …. if a person is mentally influenced to carry out something which does not correspond to his own will at all, then the proof is given that another power makes use of the human being’s will in order to express itself. This, too, is often denied and people try to explain it by saying that the human being’s weakness of will is a pathological condition which is used by the strong-willed partner. Even this explanation, however, does not rule out the fact that one person can still have a mental effect on the other, but is rather a confirmation of it …. for both the weak as well as the strong-willed person stand as completely separate individual beings, seen purely externally, in creation, which, however, does not rule out the fact that one power can determine them to be active in some way, and that this power, if it is required to a great extent, can also be imparted. Every thought is spiritual strength, it can therefore be requested, received and passed on …. and this could be used far more on earth from person to person if love were inherent in people and a certain state of spiritual maturity eliminated the misuse of this strength. But where this strength is used in spiritual maturity the thought life of a fellow human being can be strongly influenced already on earth …. Recognizing this, great attention has to be paid to the transmission of thoughts, for this is evidence of the working of a strength which, seen humanly or earthly, one would like to deny ….

Fellowship on earth and in the hereafter for the salvation of erring souls ….

B.D. 0808 from March 12th 1939, taken from Book No. 17

This is the creator’s will that a community forms on earth as well as in the beyond which is willing to serve Him and thus is active in the lord’s will for the salvation of erring souls. Anyone who is of service to Him has the task to devote himself wholeheartedly to the lord, for only then can he accept the lord’s will, then also act accordingly and be active as a helper in the community of spiritual striving. All demands placed upon him only concern the salvation of the soul. Anyone who is able to eliminate earthly desire and earthly worries will certainly be suitable to administer his office as a mediator of gifts from above. He can receive spiritual goods, absorb them and also pass them on and will be an industrious worker in the vineyard of the lord. And the lord needs many such labourers, for time is pressing. The more you are active the more threads will be spun from the beyond to earth and an unbreakable bond will be woven which connects all willing earthly children with the spiritual strength …. The bridge is built from earth to the hereafter, on which the earth children reach the father unhindered, if they only desire Him. And because this has become indispensable, because people on earth will urgently need the lord very soon, the spiritual cooperation of the good spiritual power on this side and on the other side is an equally urgent necessity, for otherwise humanity would be at the mercy of the raging of the enemy power without salvation and without help if the same precautions were not taken on the part of the creator to offer resistance to the evil activity and to build a wall which shall be impregnable to the enemy. Everyone who is spiritually active and willing to enlighten and preach the gospel to people on earth contributes to the building of this wall …. As a fighter for Christ he will defend the wall, he will help to fortify it and he will try to gain victory over everything that is spiritually hostile to him. And this will increase the power of the multitudes of God’s fighters …. the more they will unite in order to live solely for the aim of bringing souls to the divine saviour and to wrest them from the opposing power, the greater will be their success, for their power also lies in the unity of God’s fighters on earth …. they have the divine lord and saviour Himself as their leader and He lead them through all dangers to victory …. He shapes them according to His will, He gives them strength and power, and thus equipped, success must be certain, for everything that fights for God is based on love …. And love must and will always triumph over evil …. The violence of hatred will be of no avail against the power of love. And anyone on earth who desires to be accepted into the community of those who faithfully serve the lord can certainly expect the greatest help from spiritual friends who, with the same love and willingness to serve, endeavour to increase the army of God’s fighters on earth and continually offer Him their help. And thus the willing servants will also have much success, all good forces of heaven and earth will work together and their work will only be aimed at one aim, the winning of erring souls for eternal life ….

Amen

God's protection to the fighters for His word ….

B.D. 0809 from March 13th 1939, taken from Book No. 17

Anyone who follows Me on earth is worthy of My love, and his whole life takes place in the security of My love. Whatever suffering and sorrow touches him is only a sign of My steadfast love …. it is the means to bring his heart even closer to Me, for then he will take refuge in Me in all adversity and tribulation. Behold, My own are strong in spirit, they know no weakness in faith, they stand firm and allow nothing to make them waver. And so you too, My child, shall stand in faith and become a firm support for Me on earth. Only when the heart has completely accepted My truths can faith no longer be shaken. Anyone who lives in faith also keeps My commandments …. Anyone who keeps My commandments is again in love …. Anyone who is permeated by love feels My spirit within himself, for I Myself am with him in love …. and anyone who has My spirit is inevitably and eternally devoted to Me and thus can no longer waver or be in the slightest doubt …. And his courage will grow accordingly, for he will be able to defend everything …. He will be able to proclaim My word, for he has profound faith in Me and My love. He will be strong in spirit and this will also enable him to fulfil his office on earth, for as My disciple and servant My support will always be granted to him. The burden of the body will no longer press him and therefore the body will no longer suffer to the extent it seems. For I strengthen the soul so that it does not pay attention to the suffering and only ever remembers the lord and His suffering on earth. This gives the soul strength in excess, and if the human being is granted hardship for the sake of people, his spiritual state will help to reduce all suffering, and he who carries Me in his heart will always be assured of My help. And so take note of the following: Anyone who gives himself to Me in order to be My helper in the hard struggle for souls can also always know that he is protected by Me; for My might is so great that I can avert every suffering, and I also know everything that oppresses you …. I want to help you to become strong in spirit, yet if you recognize My love for you every doubt will also fall …. then you will stand in the midst of the battle, yet with strength and courage, and fight for Me and My name, for My word …. And My love will bless you and support you so that you will always be able to resist all hostilities which certainly threaten you from outside but which cannot touch your heart and therefore can never make you waver. For My love accompanies you from time to time, and in this love you will go through life well protected ….

Bearer of the word …. search for the truth …. training stations …. researcher ….

B.D. 0810 from March 14th 1939, taken from Book No. 17

All forces unite for the great work on earth, and no strength may remain unused if My word is to be conveyed to people on earth in all purity and truthfulness. Therefore, anyone who desires to live in truth should not focus on the external world; he should constantly listen inwards, present his questions to the creator of heaven and earth, be right with himself, always research with God-directed thinking in all love of truth …. and all doubt will fade away, the whole of life will become explainable to him as a training station and he will fetch all wisdom from God Himself, Who will not withhold it from him. Only in this way alone is it possible to recognize the meaning and purpose of life …. only in this way is it possible to see the highest and most perfect being in the eternal deity, and only in this way is it possible to banish all wrong ideas and self-constructed concepts from the heart and only accept that which truly originated from God, as the eternal truth Himself. If this path is marked out for you and you have the will to do what is right, it will be easy for you, for I am with everyone who wants to find Me. Thus it is only too obvious that neither wise researchers nor systematically trained teachers on earth can give a clear, truthful picture of creation and God’s essence as long as they have not yet penetrated the truth themselves, and that on the path via Me. Whom I Myself cannot instruct by consciously turning his will towards Me will always pass by the pure truth and will never ever be able to advocate the infallibility of his wisdom. And thus My love gives you humans proof again that you can always be bearers of My word if it is in your will. The search for truth has always been peculiar to people, only the path has not always been the same …. Anyone who considers himself the starting point of all wisdom, anyone who tries to penetrate unfamiliar territory by virtue of his ego, his research can never lead to the right aim …. for I Myself don’t want to be ignored when it comes to fathoming My creation …. I am the lord of everything you see …. and it is therefore understandable that anyone who wants to enter My kingdom in spirit must also come to Me ….Then I Myself will open the gates for him and grant him full insight, and he will never be able to go astray but stand in profound truth …. Whoever, however, wants to bypass Me will walk blindly despite all efforts to find light. You, who are all My living creations, can only be what I have intended for you in union with Me, for if My strength is to permeate you then you may not flee from Me and avoid Me. And your earthly life is truly an escape from Me. The separation from your creator is what makes earthly life so difficult for you, and until you find your way back to Him your suffering will truly not diminish …. And thus the call from above comes to you again and again and yet you don’t hear it …. you remain in the abyss, although the path to ascent is marked out for you and shown to be so easily passable …. And you revile and ridicule the one Who courts you with all love, patience and mercy ….

Amen

Faith – protective wall …. divine sermon ….

B.D. 0811 from March 14th 1939, taken from Book No. 17

And you should hear the voice of the most high and be aware that there is no other path to the father than to keep His commandments and practice love. And if you obey Him you will also be devoted to Him in love …. Then His will will be fulfilled by you and you will be in His grace. In the time of adversity which afflicts the earth you have the right support, for you know one Who is concerned for you and protects you from all dangers. For if you believe firmly and without doubt, this faith is your protective wall against all dangers of body and soul. Only someone who has such a deep faith that nothing can shake it will also be spared all danger, for he trustingly gives his life to the heavenly father and is therefore in good hands, for the father does not abandon His own.

And so today a visible sign of divine love shall be given to you, for you shall receive the word of divine preaching:

You shall build a sanctuary for your lord and saviour, you shall erect an altar for Him in your heart, you shall prepare a dwelling place to receive the divine redeemer therein …. you shall do everything to purify your heart so that He alone may dwell therein and remain with you for all eternity …. “So behold, you My children on earth, how I, your saviour, woo your love …. you are My creatures from eternity, you are spirit of My spirit, destined to create and animate like Me …. But your senses are for matter …. your longing is earthly good, honor and fame and you forget that you are My beings and turn to darkness …. Detach yourselves from the world, then you will recognize what is worth desiring …. First if you give up the world you will receive in far greater measure, for I prepare heavenly imperishable goods for you, I want to shape your life in eternity into unspeakable happiness …. I want to give you everything if only you willingly give up the world for My sake. Don’t hide from Me …. seek Me so that I can let Myself be found and use your free will to follow Me, for the eternal home is with Me …. and true happiness …. true peace can only be found with Me Who is willing to give you everything and can give your heart eternal peace. And if you have found Me I will protect you from all attacks and temptations of the enemy …. But you must give your will to Me and let Me rule and reign in your heart, and you will be unspeakably happy now and also for eternity ….

Amen

Protection of the saviour …. togetherness …. living God-connectedness ….

B.D. 0812 from March 15th 1939, taken from Book No. 17

To know that they are under the protection of the saviour in hours of need is the most beautiful consolation of all believers. His love embraces His own, and the soul finds peace in the security of this love. Whoever consciously places himself under His protection will experience the miracle of divine togetherness …. he will feel most clearly that he no longer walks his life’s path alone, but that the lord and saviour is his constant companion. People are inclined to deny and reject such a miracle because only their own will can prove it to them; but a child of God who has already found the path to the father will be able to feel the truth of these words in himself and stand in the midst of the miracle, ridiculed and scorned by his fellow human beings, yet unspeakably happy, unaware of them …. And the covenant with eternal love will deepen, and the earth child will never want to escape from this covenant …. it will desire divine love in time and eternity, which is the fulfilment of its deepest longing. It is possible for everyone to stand at the bridge to the beyond and the path will always be shown to them, yet how seldom this grace is received, how little use is made of the opportunity, and how much more difficult the path to the eternal home is for the human being as a result. With utmost patience the lord tries to awaken the human being’s desire for spiritual food …. He gives him the opportunity in every way to establish a connection with the heavenly father …. through suffering and worry, through spiritual exchange with more mature earthly people, through imparting spiritual messages …. through miracles of creation of every kind. Again and again people are touched by problems for the solution of which they only need to ask for God’s help and precisely through prayer the connection with Him is established. But the human being believes he can solve all questions without divine help and is therefore often still completely off the right path and will never find it on his own. And the beings in the beyond who are willing to help so rarely hear the call for assistance and yet would so gladly grant it to all erring people who misjudge the right path. They want to give but no-one desires to receive; they want to assist but people don’t desire help; they want to instruct but people don’t know hunger and thirst for spiritual refreshment and have no need to increase their spiritual knowledge either. The living bond with their creator would shape them into God-like beings, yet they prefer a life on earth in alienation and separation from the creator to this bond and don’t consider the immense blessing which arises from it. The few earthly children, however, to whom the lord gives His word because they are willing and ready to receive for love of Him, are, as it were, constantly under His protection …. They are visibly protected from harm and need not fear the dangers of body and soul as long as they fully entrust themselves to the divine saviour. For they have grasped the purpose of life and strive to fully meet the requirements …. they use their strength to serve the eternal deity, they want to assist their fellow human beings and likewise favourably influence their thoughts, they want to do what God requires of them and thus also actively support the word of God, the name of the lord …. they want to overcome all resistance in order to free the soul from all worldly desires, and finally they want nothing more than to give love and receive love. And thus the living union with God must first and foremost lead to spiritual maturity and shape the soul as it is denied to do from eternity …. into the image of God …. and to bridge the separation from the father in order to finally be united with Him for all eternity ….

Amen

Self-redemption of the soul …. striving for union ….

B.D. 0813 from March 16th 1939, taken from Book No. 17

The soul redeems itself, which longs for spiritual nourishment. The awareness of its departure from God causes the desire for spiritual nourishment to arise and grow ever stronger, for it feels within itself its belonging to God and an indomitable longing. Being united in the state of light and being able to be in closest communion with the divine saviour lets it strive for spiritual maturity with all its strength, and it consciously and in a short time separates itself from all matter and only ever strives for pure-spiritual contact and exchange of thoughts with the friends in the beyond, and its effort will also soon be successful because so much support is now offered to it, and it is instructed and satiated with food and drink from the heavens and thus remains in constant contact with spiritual strength. The soul is now anxious to utilize everything it has absorbed in order to attain the state of maturity as soon as possible, and therefore also consciously turns to the right source of spiritual knowledge …. to the divine father Himself, and if the nourishment originates from Him, the earthly child will already be able to free itself from every material bond in a short time. It will fetch refreshment ever more often and not miss any opportunity which could earn it the saviour’s presence, and thus it is always and at all times willing to exchange life on earth for life in the beyond, always in the belief and hope that it will thereby put an end to the separation from the father and be eternally united with Him. A soul which endeavours to redeem itself by gladly and willingly renouncing all pleasures of the world and remaining completely active in love will already make contact with the divine creator Himself in the foreseeable future; it will, as it were, be seized by the spiritual strength which tries to influence on earth what does not exactly show itself reluctantly. The more willingly the human being approaches the efforts of these givers of strength the more obviously the overall effect on the human soul can be recognized, and if the human being asks for the strength to let the will become active and at the same time be at the service of neighbourly love …. the soul will find full satisfaction in spiritual work and be willing to give up its stay on earth at any time in order to be able to be completely absorbed in spiritual striving in the beyond, freed from its previous fetters, and to serve the divine lord and master in humility and love. Once this desire has awakened in the soul, the earth and all worldly pleasures will be completely disregarded and its mind will only turn to the divine creator and strive ceaselessly for final unification with the heavenly father ….

Mental influencing of the spiritual in matter ….

B.D. 0814 from March 17th 1939, taken from Book No. 17

Observe creation in its design, see its versatility which is expressed in the varied formation of form, and then try to imagine all images which present themselves to the eye spiritually enlivened …. consider everything you see not as dead matter, but only ever see the spiritual entity through it …. and you will soon grow so intimately together with everything that comes before your eyes, you will sense life in everything and be intent on nurturing this life, and thus contribute to the increase of the spiritual in all matter through the meaningful uniting of creations that are related in essence. I.e., anyone who sees nothing as coincidence but recognizes God’s will and omnipotence in everything will bring about a transformation of the outer form. But this again presupposes a firm belief in the development of spiritual beings in every form. Just as the human being, by virtue of his will to shape, has it in his own hands to let the most incredible creations come into being on earth, it must also be possible for him to connect every work of creation with his spiritual task and to likewise impart spiritual strength to the spiritual beings hidden in it through mental transmission, and this strength must express itself again in such a way that all external form remains in constant activity and thus fulfils its earthly task in the shortest possible time and then also devotes itself to new activity again in new shaping ….

Explanation to book 17 No. 0814 …. effects of strife for the soul ….

B.D. 0815 from March 18th 1939, taken from Book No. 17

People demand justice and don’t have the right standard for their own actions, and if every person were willing to take the feeling of justice into account all disputes and quarrels would soon be resolved, but people often consider themselves more entitled to demand consideration for themselves but to deny it to their fellow human beings, and thus the latter provokes their fellow human being’s displeasure and peace is considerably disturbed. And this results in people becoming hostile towards each other again, that they reduce the love within themselves and build a wall between themselves, and such a state will never contribute to the soul’s advancement, rather, it will be forced into a kind of standstill, it will lose itself in thoughts which are completely useless and worthless and thus deprive the soul of precious time of work which would be conducive to its advancement. When you humans thus consider the effect of an argument, it will have to be your serious endeavour to avoid all such hostilities and rather take an injustice upon yourselves than cause far greater harm to the soul by endeavouring to settle a dispute. You use your willpower on completely unimportant questions and their solution and don’t consider that you don’t derive the slightest advantage for the soul from a favourable outcome of an argument either, and this should always prevent you from debating useless matters, after all, they only cause harmful effects for the soul. To leave all rules of such questions to God is far more reasonable and leads to far greater success.

(And now listen to the voice of the heart and take up a closer explanation about the communication incomprehensible to you, which concerns the mental influencing of the banished spiritual in creation …. As it is obvious and understandable to you, the creation, i.e. everything visible to you, nevertheless only serves the purpose of granting stay to the spiritual, and thus every thing is spiritually enlivened. This applies to everything that is visible to you. So now the spirit bearer is exposed to the human will to shape …. thus all matter, which so to speak serves the human being again as material to be reshaped in his hand …. the human being for his part now has the possibility to also influence the spiritual power, which is inherent in matter …. and he can so to speak influence this spiritual power so that it can finish its course of development more quickly and leave this very form. Hence it must be the human being’s endeavour to recognize the banished spiritual in all matter, to assist this spiritual and, if possible, to ensure that a permanent change and utilization of matter releases all spiritual within it …. that the human being, as it were, contributes to shortening the lifespan of matter in unchanged form …. that he must realize that nothing in the universe retains its form for a long time and that a constant change of external form helps the spiritual entity to ascend. Anyone who looks at everything in this sense and is willing to help by seeing shells of spiritual substance in all works of creation and is therefore active himself in order to permanently reshape these shells, and this in full awareness of assisting the spiritual entities, his task is only thereby properly fulfilled, after all, he is not only active for himself and his spiritual well-being but at the same time for the helpless entities which are not yet able to liberate themselves consciously, whose path is then considerably shortened. For if the human being believes that all creation is and remains a spirit bearer, he will also be aware of the fact that he, as a likewise spirit bearer, must find a connection with the spiritual entity by subjecting the external form to frequent change and that everything which comes into being under the human being’s hands is, as it were, always permitted by God’s will to form a new external form which is again entitled to receive the spiritual substance within itself. Only the will of man is needed for this. And only the belief that all creation is spiritually enlivened, as well as all striving for love which is meant for the release of spiritual substance, is an auxiliary factor for these beings which cannot be valued highly enough. And every work you tackle in this awareness will also carry God’s blessing within it; for all His spiritual co-workers are active for the beings’ redemption, both on earth as well as in the beyond ….

Amen

Transformation of the outer forms …. change of the spiritual ….

B.D. 0816 from March 19th 1939, taken from Book No. 17

Just as a constant transformation of all forms takes place on earth, just as nothing constantly remains in the same form, so all spiritual beings sheltering in form must also experience the same transformation which, although it is not visible to the human eye, is clearly recognizable in the spiritual world. The spiritual beings very soon notice when such a spiritual transformation upwards takes place and use every opportunity to promote this higher development by lovingly taking care of the spiritual being striving upwards. Again, it can only be explained that all spirit bearers on earth, i.e. all matter and all living beings, always show spiritual progress when they allow themselves to be mentally influenced by higher spiritual strength, for then a united, thus strengthened spiritual strength is active and as such has correspondingly greater success to record. Wherever a spirit bearer is favourably influenced he must strive upwards, and everything striving upwards unites again, as it were, and contributes to the increase of spiritual strength …. A substance which is enlarged in such a way must understandably also have a form externally adapted to it, which is why every transformation of the spirit also necessitates the transformation of the external form. And thus, to a certain extent, it is clearly recognizable in all works of creation to what extent the spiritual substance is inherent in them, for the outer form will also be correspondingly larger and more perfect the more developed its soul, i.e. everything spiritual in it, is. It is now also understandable to the human being why the body, i.e. the human being’s fleshly body, has many similarities with the already fairly developed animal bodies, for the soul is already so far formed in the latter that it only needs to unite with the substances it lacks in order to be able to fully meet the demands which are demanded of it for embodiment as a human being, which is why the human being’s external form also unites, as it were, everything which has been taken from every form it has passed through so far. It is not possible for the human being on earth to comprehend this, for there are countless entities or soul particles which have formed themselves into a whole during their stay on earth …. but the human being does not possess the ability to intellectually think through all stages of his development, nor does he have the capacity to comprehend the versatility and creative ability of a human soul …. He will certainly be able to be convinced with good will that the soul has attained human form through endless transformation, but he will never be able to grasp this spiritual miracle in all its greatness and sublimity as long as he remains on earth ….

Amen

Active will …. freedom of will ….

B.D. 0817 from March 19th 1939, taken from Book No. 17

Every thought directed into the spiritual requires the human being’s full will and is therefore the human being’s will which has become active, irrespective of whether the activity expresses itself mentally or in the exercise of works of love, which likewise first require the human being’s thinking. The human being always has to turn to everything spiritual of his own free will by means of the willpower at his disposal. This willpower expresses itself in every action which is then carried out, and if every action is determined by love, the willpower will become ever stronger, especially if it is requested consciously and faithfully. Then all resistance must also be overcome, the human being must also overcome himself, for he becomes strong in spirit the more his will becomes active in him. The human being directs his gaze upwards, he finds contact with the spiritual world, this imparts spiritual strength to him which in turn strengthens his will and allows him to become active, and thus the human being himself contributes to the integration into divine order, if only he has the will to acknowledge such at all …. that he occupies himself with spiritual things is always a concession of his belonging to God, he demands back to desires to that which is his origin from eternity …. he will …. And his will is the basic condition to reach his aim. When the will has become active in the human being, then there is no longer an obstacle, for God has provided him with enough helpers which a willing earth child will now use in order to successfully pass the battle on earth. For it has passed the test, it has used its freedom of will in the right way by consciously turning towards the father in heaven ….

Amen

God's work of education …. spiritual inertia …. purpose of sufferings ….

B.D. 0818 from March 20th 1939, taken from Book No. 17

You, who still live on earth, are approaching a time which will be unspeakably painful for you and you will have to assert yourselves in the face of all the hardship you are destined to experience. What the creator of heaven and earth allows is only ever a means by which He wants to spare His living creations the spiritual suffering one day, which will have far more painful effects in the beyond and which the human being can avert if he humbly accepts the suffering on earth and emerges from it purified and matured in soul. Man in his short-sightedness, which is the result of faithlessness, cannot comprehend the work of education of the heavenly father. He grumbles and complains and is not infrequently inclined to deny an eternal deity altogether because the work of Him seems incomprehensible to him. And he does not recognize the love and patience of his creator Who has to choose this path because His loving admonitions and words from above are not listened to, and time has become ever more serious, the human being ever more sluggish in his spiritual work and only ever concerned with fulfilling earthly duties, regardless of how this fulfilment of duty affects the soul. Now the spiritual world must also be extremely active and must in turn give people on earth evidence of its activity in and around it. For man no longer finds the connection to his creator. A tremendous shaking of his principles of life must first force man to think again about his ‘self ‘, his origin and his end. In a completely calm time there is only a greater danger of living in spiritual inertia, but where the human being is forced to carry burdens of whatever kind he ultimately asks himself what meaning underlies his whole life and which path he could take in order to be relieved of earthly worries and suffering. And then he will certainly timidly grasp the father’s hand which is lovingly offered to him and which first wants to snatch him from the spiritual hardship of the soul. This purpose is the only reason for all the coming time of suffering ….

Completion of spiritual …. maturity state …. protection ….

B.D. 0819 from March 20th 1939, taken from Book No. 17

Everything spiritual must complete itself …. It must, so to speak, be brought to the highest development and grow to a degree of maturity in which it is worthy to unite with the eternal deity. In order to understand this, the human being must have already reached a certain spiritual level …. he must have penetrated spiritual truths and must have learned to understand the human being’s development, his task and his aim to such an extent that he now begins to sense what God has destined His creatures to do from eternity. He will now want to give the spiritual substance within him maturity with full zeal and of his own accord; he will work constantly on himself in order to place his spirit into that state of perfection …. But he will now also have to struggle with increased resistance, because precisely the existence of such a struggle is extraordinarily beneficial for the soul. Victory over temptations of all kinds, asserting oneself in all temptations and last but not least surrendering to all trials is an ascent from step to step in order to reach perfection. And the soul has to fight this battle all on its own, no other spiritual being can ever relieve it of the task or fulfil it for it, but it can only ever help with assistance if this assistance is consciously requested. Thus no soul can achieve a degree of maturity through protection which it does not deserve; instead, it must be fully active and completely fulfil the task set for it if it is then also to receive the reward which is set for such striving …. eternal beatitude in union with the divine father. Thus the spiritual entity in the human being, the soul, has certainly been burdened with the greatest responsibility but it also has to expect the greatest reward …. it has to do all the work in order to receive unspeakably glorious things in return, and it is undoubtedly exposed to great dangers in earthly life, yet the bestowals of grace help to reduce and overcome these dangers so that the soul can very well fulfil the task given to it, if it is of serious will and able to imagine the incomparable beatitude …. but otherwise it is offered no opportunity to enter the eternal kingdom of peace, and it is the father’s eternal decision that He wants to form His living creations into God-like beings which shall one day rule the universe with Him and in His will and continuously enjoy the highest beatitude ….

Amen

Danger of becoming lukewarm …. regression …. extreme struggle of the soul ….

B.D. 0820 from March 21st 1939, taken from Book No. 17

It is a long way to perfection. Once the soul has asserted itself in resistance to the power striving for its downfall and has recognized its exit from God, it certainly remains in the permanent care of its spiritual friends who stand helpfully by its side, but its striving for perfection must find the driving force within itself, its will must remain active, as it were, without interruption in order to reach perfection. Every deviation from the right path, every sluggishness and carelessness must be made up for by double devotion and work on oneself and cannot be replaced by external strength or help. With its own will the soul achieves everything, without its will nothing …. Therefore no standstill may occur in the desire to reach the height, for a standstill is tantamount to a decline. A person whose soul is no longer active for its eternal salvation will certainly turn to the world again just to have some kind of activity and re-establish the connection with matter instead of separating from it, which is his actual task. And thus the danger of regression is always far greater than that of standstill, for the latter only lasts a short time, and then the human being again pursues his spiritual work, or he distances himself from it, which everyone should anxiously endeavour to prevent. For the opportunity of a step backwards is immediately taken advantage of by the bad forces which always lie in wait for him and for their part affect such a soul with all the means at their disposal. And the struggle begins anew and demands the fullest power of resistance and readiness for action. Every soul should therefore only ever take care that it does not tire in its striving upwards, it should daily assure itself of divine grace through constant prayer and in every adversity and in the danger of becoming lukewarm trustingly turn to the father in heaven for help. This already presupposes the earth child’s will, and as soon as the will becomes active precisely through prayer, the soul remains in constant work on itself, and the danger of regression is eliminated. Its struggle has already lasted an inconceivably long time, and even if great demands are placed on the soul in earthly life, the soul should nevertheless wrestle tirelessly precisely now in order to pass the final test and to be able to leave its state of compulsion and, as a free light being, to behold all God’s glories and to find eternal happiness in union with the supreme being. And therefore it should consciously renounce that which still connects it with the world and matter, even though its body still dwells on earth …. but the soul can hurry ahead into the realms of supreme bliss if only it continues to let its will become active and prevents or fights against any slackening of spiritual striving ….

Amen

God is love ….

B.D. 0821 from March 21st 1939, taken from Book No. 17

Remain faithful to the ancient teaching which admonishes you to love God above all things and your neighbour as yourself. And so listen: Nothing in the world will be able to destroy the word of God, for it is given by Himself and thus endures for all eternity …. And this word of His teaches you to live in love, and if you comply with this commandment you will enter the kingdom of heaven. And thus you must also acknowledge the one Who is love Itself from eternity, Who sacrificed Himself for people out of immense love in order to redeem them from the deepest guilt of sin. And anyone who lives in love follows Him …. and people want to deny the son of God because love no longer dwells in their hearts, for anyone who loves has the divine saviour within himself and his heart will joyfully affirm Him …. and in this affirming joy of life he cannot help but also love his neighbour, for love, which is God Himself, fills his heart with such power that everything that comes into contact with Him is seized by it. Love is the greatest of miracles …. It redeemed humanity from death, It brought all creation to life, It brings temporal and eternal joy …. It is life and strength …. longing and fulfilment …. It is the epitome of everything divine and connects heaven and earth with each other …. And if you humans live in love you will become perfect, just as the father in heaven is perfect, for everything is rooted in love, It originates from God and leads back to God again …. for God is the eternal love Himself ….

God’s word as protection against all adversities …. power of faith ….

B.D. 0822 from March 22nd 1939, taken from Book No. 17

As the world attunes itself to My teaching, so will the events take place which are destined for earth. My teaching contains everything the earthly children were given to do, and if they make an effort to comply with My commandments their fate on earth will also be a bearable one; yet anyone who denies Me and My word has to fulfil his task in a different way …. he has to find the same path through suffering and difficult days so that he acknowledges his creator and judge in Me …. he also has to accept My word in a roundabout way, and this path will be more difficult and more thorny but it can also lead to the aim. How easy earthly life would be for you if only you would always pay attention to the voice from above which announces itself in you. And what suffering you could keep away from yourselves by fulfilling My commandments, which I convey to people again and again in all purity. The more intimately you accept My word the more you will also accept the strength from Me, and you will be armed to face all earthly suffering …. Consider this, if you desire to reject My word as a human word, you thereby take away the strongest protection against all adversities of life. Anyone who does not acknowledge Me and does not carry My word within himself …. anyone who does not honour Me and does so by obeying My word, cannot be granted protection by Me in severe adversity, for he rejects Me and does not see in Me the one Who can help him …. I am always ready for My children on earth and will not let any call in vain, yet if they reject My help …. if they do not recognize in Me the almighty of heaven and earth …. if they lack faith in My love and My omnipotence …. how can I then bring them help? All your strength lies in deep faith, but without faith you are weak, helpless creatures. Whoever has My word and lives according to it also stands in deepest faith and is thus strong against all hostilities that come from outside. He will not feel the suffering of earth like that and will also never be without help, for he has Me and lives according to My word ….

It is indisputably proven that the world has dealt sufficiently with the problem of a detachment from Me and that thereby unspeakable suffering has already come upon humanity, for the whole earth has become a source of fire, so to speak, and the same battle against My teaching rages everywhere. People don’t know how to distinguish between My teaching and the statutes of men …. their battle is directed at one and extends to the other …. they want to destroy everything and destroy faith in Me as the redeemer of the world and in My word, which I have taught at all times ….

Father words …. God’s word refreshment from the heavens ….

B.D. 0823 from March 22nd 1939, taken from Book No. 17

Love for you has moved Me to send you My word again and again, and thus you stand in great grace and pay no attention to it. I am your God from eternity, I am your creator, your father and at the same time also the redeemer for you who became man …. And anyone who recognizes this and believes in Me is cared for on earth by My love until his end. I know My own and My own know Me …. and well to those who see their saviour and redeemer in Me, who have My word and can build themselves up on it. What is a person’s life on earth without this faith; how forsaken does he feel in great distress of heart, for he walks his difficult earthly path without hope of help and only becomes more aware of his loneliness when he has to go through suffering and affliction. Then I will always bring My word close to him, I will show him the right path with love and care …. And now I will again give people on earth the advice to seek contact with the one Who holds all fate in His hands …. But who hears My words, who pays attention to the signs, who gives Me the honour and longs for My love …. There are only a few who fully grasp the meaning of life, and these few shall be My helpers on earth, servants through whom I want to work and guides who shall fight for My name. Mankind wants to renounce Me and does not see the disaster which this plan entails …. it thinks it knows and yet is unspeakably wrong …. it thinks it is progressive and always goes back. And that is why I am active everywhere and announce My word to those who seek connection with Me in faith in Me, and I see their hearts, which are ready to receive, and give them constant thought, so that whoever is in trouble and wants to recognize should lift himself up at this word received from above, so that he who desires such shall fetch wisdom from it. The refreshment from heaven shall flow to people on earth in such abundance that it will truly suffice to revive the spiritually weak and give them strength for their life on earth. For only My word will protect people in greatest adversity, only in My word can true salvation be found, and only in the word can the father be recognized, for His word is always the same …. it is love, truth and life …. it is the word I Myself ….

Climbing the mountains …. striving for spiritual height ….

B.D. 0824 from March 23rd 1939, taken from Book No. 17

Behold, if you aspire to climb the mountains, you must not lack strength of purpose, for everything that is high up must, as it were, be climbed. A sluggish man cannot easily reach his aim, for he must apply double strength in order to look down with double satisfaction and bless the path he has travelled which has led him to the heights. Spiritual striving must also be regarded in this way. It is likewise a perpetual desire to climb to the summit, which is spiritual perfection. The tireless wanderer ascends the heights with certainty, if he does not allow himself to be distracted by the toils and efforts which the path brings him. His gaze is directed upwards, he spares no effort and strives only towards the aim. If the walk on earth takes place in the same way, if the human being with his gaze turned upwards also takes every effort and strain upon himself, if he does not let himself be distracted by the momentary pleasures of the world but sends his soul ahead into the upper regions and uses all his will to reach the spiritual height, he will one day be able to look back with satisfaction on his earthly path, and he will never regret what he has sacrificed to reach this aim, to stand in the light and be relieved of all suffering. Anyone who stands on top of the mountain and feels free from all earthly burdens, who believes to be closer to his lord and creator, as it were, who can now let his gaze wander over endless vast regions and behold everything in its splendour and beauty, will be able to roughly imagine the spiritual freedom in which the soul can behold everything that exists around it after having completed its ascent, how it feels free from all earthly heaviness and, standing in the light of the divine sun of grace, may enjoy unspeakable delights. And even if the ascent is arduous, the reward is so incomparably glorious that it outweighs a thousandfold all the sufferings and renunciations that preceded it ….

Goings-on of the underworld …. stubborn deniers of God ….

B.D. 0825 from March 23rd 1939, taken from Book No. 17

Words of love continue to come to you and well-meaning beings unite to make you receptive and prepare you to receive the teachings from above.

And thus you will also hear an extremely important teaching today which shall give you information about the goings-on of the underworld, by which is to be understood everything that rebels against the good spiritual beings and strives to work against them. These beings particularly avoid all opportunities which could serve them for higher development, and their constant intention is to draw what is not yet in dark night into their spell and thus to increase the flock of those who turn away from God. Thus it seems as if the number of dark beings is increasing immeasurably, since earth and its inhabitants are resisting the good spirits’ efforts and are increasingly turning away from God. However, there is also a limit to this dark power where its strength can no longer have an effect, and this is always the case when spiritually mature beings take care of people in a particularly loving way, so that equally strong good forces oppose the efforts of the evil forces and their effects on people can be felt, even if they are not entirely successful, but they nevertheless put a stop to the evil activity. Thus there is a particularly fierce battle between the good and the bad spiritual beings in the present time of spiritual adversity, but the power of love outweighs that of hatred. And this is a blessing for the erring souls …. Thus a person who becomes weak in spirit due to a certain lack of knowledge will be particularly lovingly protected by his spiritual friends, and it will not be easy work for the adversary to draw him into his circle of influence, in contrast, the persistent God-denier …. who has had countless opportunities of acquiring knowledge of spiritual truths will be in greatest danger, for the dark power will seize him with all cunning and seek to even strengthen his will of rejection and to deprive him of all understanding for spiritual truths in order to gain a firmer hold on him. And therefore it will be considerably easier for an earthly person who is not particularly knowledgeable to attain God and realization than for an arrogant representative of God’s deniers who is convinced of his knowledge yet disregards God’s commandments …. The enemy tries to get hold of him, and then the good spiritual world will also be powerless, for such a person voluntarily places himself under the overlordship of evil and thus does not give the helpful spiritual forces permission to take care of him, and without the human being’s intervention through his will an attempt at salvation cannot be carried out, and thus this person has to bear his spiritual hardship alone …. He either has to try to free himself from the enemy’s fetters or he will be a hopeless slave to him until time immemorial ….

Amen

Hour of death …. without preparation …. agony of passing away ….

B.D. 0826 from March 24th 1939, taken from Book No. 17

In the middle of life, man begins to think about questions relating to his bodily end. During this time, he is haunted by thoughts of a sudden end …. he tries to avoid them at first, and yet he will always listen to them. It is like a constant urging to keep these questions in mind, it is like a continuous admonition to remember his end and to take a stand on it. Every moment the spiritual power uses to remind the human being of this, and it is truly only beneficial for the soul to pay attention to such thoughts. An unnoticed moment can already bring existence on earth to an end, and no-one has the power to prolong his own life on earth by one hour when the time of his passing has come. And therefore everyone should be prepared to give up earthly life at any time in order to enter the eternal kingdom. He should consciously concern himself with his continuation of life after death, he should adjust his earthly life such that it is completely in harmony with his earthly task and thus is only a time of preparation for the actual life in the beyond. If he constantly checks himself as to whether his earthly life corresponds to the divine commandments, if he makes it his business to serve the creator of heaven and earth …. if he always seeks contact with Him and thus consciously prepares himself and works on his soul, then the thought of death will not frighten him, he will find it rather pleasant and learn to regard the hour of death as the hour of liberation from the body shackles. People, on the other hand, who fearfully ward off every thought of it or who let the admonitions pass by completely indifferent, will indeed sometimes have an easy earthly life because they will not bother themselves with anything that could shake them out of their calm; they will live straight into the day without any sense of responsibility …. They will also never impose any restrictions on themselves for the sake of a possible continuation of life …. they will reject everything that is held up to them as a task in life …. yet with the approach of death they will fall into a dreadful restlessness and then get to taste all the horrors of it in full, if they have not previously been made accessible to other thoughts through a long time of suffering. The hour of death will not be welcome to them, they still cling to earthly life with all the fibres of their being and do not desire to exchange it for another because they are not prepared for it in the slightest. But the hour of separation comes for all, and often unforeseen. An unprepared person feels all the agonies of passing away, and his end is truly not enviable. And yet, every person has it in his own hands to make this hour an hour of salvation if he always lives his earthly life in such a way that he need not fear the responsibility …. that he can return his life to the father in heaven at any hour with the childlike trust of finding His mercy and His love, because this earthly life was lived in constant contact with Him ….

Amen

Time of judgement near …. concept of time …. present ….

B.D. 0827 from March 24th 1939, taken from Book No. 17

“The song of praise of those who serve Me resounds without ceasing, and the hosts of heaven join in, and they praise and extol Me ….” Time hurries on earth, but measured against eternity, the course of man’s life on earth is equal to a moment, it means, as it were, in earthly life an event in the long run, when an event is spoken of in the future, and it does not particularly touch man because it seems to him an eternity before such a previously announced event occurs. Now such a concept is not easy to make comprehensible in any other way and a prediction of an event cannot be given in terms of day and hour because this would not be beneficial to man in any way on the one hand and on the other hand mankind itself also determines the time of such an event through its own will or its lack of faith, which is the cause of the event occurring. Thus many years often pass in apparent tranquillity so that people lull themselves into security and never believe in world-shaking events, for they only ever pay attention to such events which have their cause in earthly disputes. And therefore it may seem unbelievable to them that the eternal deity should make Itself known in such a way that a judgment will come upon the whole of humanity and have such a dreadful effect. Humanity rejects such a prospective judgment or believes that the time has not yet come because it completely lacks the very concept of time and the human being cannot relate the time in which he himself lives …. the present …. cannot be related to announced future and therefore everything remote is understandable to him as always remote and this concept of time seems more acceptable to him. If the people of the present time could grasp how close this time of judgement is, they would never live their lives so calmly …. but would be seized by fear and despair to know that this time is so near. And again the lord has mercy on the children of the earth, and He would like to call out to them all that they may prepare themselves for this time. The hour of the righteous has come, for he will find his way through the spiritual chaos, he will also await the lord and the Judgment will not take him by surprise …. But all the rest of you who think the time is still far away, your spiritual sleep will be followed by a dreadful awakening …. you do not consider that you cannot escape the horrors of this time …. you do not consider your powerlessness in the face of the unleashed elements …. and you think even less about it, what can bring you salvation from every adversity …. for you do not remember the lord …. And you will be completely helpless in that hour, afflicted by fear and anxiety and abandoned to the forces of nature without faith in God ….The time is near when the will of humanity will consciously turn away from Him, and thus the time is near of which it is written that the earth will bow before the almighty and that fire will fall from heaven and that those who ignore their creator will tremble …. For what the lord has said will be fulfilled to the last letter.

Amen

Depressions …. suffering is the father’s love ….

B.D. 0828 from March 25th 1939, taken from Book No. 17

An indescribable longing will awaken in you if you strive for perfection and think of the delights of heaven. And this desire will contribute towards removing the soul’s fetters, for the desire for the world and earthly pleasures will decrease to the same extent, the desire for earthly possessions will dwindle and only that which signifies happiness for the soul will be desired. And if you are in this state all depression will also disappear, for all worldly things will no longer affect you, the soul will become free and disregard the body, and then nothing will be able to weigh it down which causes it pain in a less perfect state. And so accept this comfort and only work undaunted on yourself, then you will also overcome such hours where the pressure of earth still weighs too heavily on you. The father in heaven knows about the hardships of His children, and yet they cannot stay away completely; they should spur on what is tired and purify what is not yet clean. Keeping this in mind, every day will bring you its blessings, and you will come ever closer to the state of liberation. So often the soul lets itself drift, it sways to and fro and is not yet firm in itself, and then it needs such depressions to strengthen it and to stir up the desire for its creator. When it has overcome such moods, then it will again be light and clear within itself, and it lives with double concern for its liberation.

It sometimes remains incomprehensible to people how God’s fatherly love often expresses itself in a way that touches people painfully, they cannot find an explanation for it because they are unable to judge what unspeakable misery their fate would be if only beautiful and joyful things always awaited them on earth and that this misery would be far more painful than the earth’s suffering. The father’s infinite love is only ever willing to give and has never wanted people to suffer …. as long as they do not violate divine order, every suffering would stay away from them and they would only ever feel God’s kindness and love. But if their own will impels them to violate divine order and thus they would have to endure unspeakable suffering in the beyond, because God has to be a just judge after all and cannot deny people’s sense of justice out of love for them, He will try to convince people of their wrong thoughts and actions while they are still on earth …. He will try to influence them favourably and make them compliant with divine will, and this in every way …. through His word, which makes His will known …. through admonitions and constant references to the suffering and misfortune of fellow human beings and precisely through suffering which affects the human being himself …. but which can only be called minimal compared to the suffering which awaits the incorrigible human being in the beyond. Man on earth is not receptive to the exceedingly great love oft he lord …. The love of the world has taken such hold of him that he, blinded by its splendour and shine, does not recognize the warm, mild light of divine love …. for the adversary fights with violent means. He seeks to awaken the love of splendour and magnificence in the human being, and if the human heart succumbs to this love it will no longer feel the breath of divine love. And if the father in heaven still wants to bring Himself to people’s remembrance, He can only do so through suffering …. for it is in suffering that people are most likely to find their way back to Him, and suffering can then become an unexpected blessing, where otherwise the love of the divine saviour on earth is not respected ….

Amen

Coming event …. transformation of earthly life ….

B.D. 0829 from March 26th 1939, taken from Book No. 17

And those who work in silence are blessed before the lord …. of whom you can be certain that He will approach you in every form, that He will come to you at all times and help you carry what is troubling you. And whoever carries Him in his heart will also feel Him and completely surrender to His strength. Let the heart speak: Your hour has not yet come, for everything wants its time, and deep faith wants to be won. He Who has loved you since eternity also directs your steps towards unification and wants to shape you into His image …. He wants your stay on earth to be a blessing for you, and therefore life has to bring you obstacles which require your full strength to overcome. All wisdom from above would be useless without your active will of self-liberation. And it is very important that your will does not slacken, for not one day has been given to you in vain, every day is to be used for the soul. If the human being lacks the impetus, if his will is weakened and he does not pay attention to the dangers which result from spiritual sluggishness, he will slacken and not complete the path to ascent. Thus the day with its resistances must stimulate the human being to be restlessly active, and he must not fear them but face them with full faith and trust in the help from above, then his spirit will grow stronger and no day will have been lived in vain. And you must succeed in banishing all anxious, doubting and oppressive thoughts from your heart and look up to the lord of heaven and earth in all spiritual freedom ….

And now your spiritual friends give you a message concerning the forthcoming event which will cause you terror and excitement in the very near future: The time has undoubtedly come which requires intervention from above, and it is of utmost importance that you learn what influx of spiritual strength will be passed on to people in order to prepare them for this event. For one thing is particularly necessary today that the human being recognizes the direct influence of higher power in everything that happens. After all, it is only a matter of the spiritual maturing of people living on earth, and for this purpose the earthly course of events must fit in such that the development of the spirit can be taken into account. When the world becomes suspicious of events which undoubtedly come from other than the human side, when a complete transformation of earthly life has to follow as a result …. when a time begins which can be called a completely new one, then the spiritual attitude also has to undergo a change, for the human being has enough reason to think about the most diverse problems, and this is the ultimate purpose of all events, that they stimulate the human being to let his spirit become active, for only now can the work of the spiritual beings begin once the human being has made contact with them through willingly giving in and inserting his thoughts in the direction of thought taken by his spiritual friends. This time will be so exciting and burden all minds, yet anyone who is able to look with spiritual eyes will also understand the purpose and meaning of all events, for nothing happens without God’s will ….

Amen

Time of drought …. rocks …. little fountain …. word from above ….

B.D. 0830 from March 26th 1939, taken from Book No. 17

You shall hear the voice from above which warns you to be an example of those who betray the lord. Behold, it costs infinite effort to establish a connection from the beyond to people on earth, and such a bridge is unspeakably beneficial so that the gulf can be crossed. If the lord Himself condescends to show you earthly children the way, then nothing more is required than the human being’s strong will to show himself worthy of this grace, and he will hear the lord’s words at all times. If now people’s resistance cannot be broken and they remain in defence despite all hardship of the soul, this, however, is no reason to take a stand on everything which the intellect cannot grasp, and thus everyone must struggle for the realization of truth; he must try to imagine himself in complete blindness and now trustingly let himself be guided by the divine lord and master. The greatest danger is to want to judge everything according to a pattern …. Which spirit can possibly guide a person into truth? …. But only the spirit from God …. And he will stand in truth who consciously surrenders himself to the eternal deity …. who submits his will to the divine will and who deeply and humbly begs for God’s grace. The one who receives the word is truly not striving for the splendour and magnificence of the world …. nor does he strive for spiritual recognition …. he only wants to serve God and people by conveying to them the truths he has received from God. Does this not already show how unspeakably mistaken the person is who doubts the outcome of this word? The strict rejection of the divine word lies like a stone before the door of the heart …. for people create an obstacle for themselves by blocking the clear source of knowledge and disregarding the strength-giving refreshment. The time will come when there will be great drought on earth, when only here and there a spring will seep and humanity will be close to dying of thirst. And when the lord wants to control the nameless misery of this time by letting fresh drink flow from the rocks and opening little fountains which shall refresh His children with living water, then do not waste these springs but thank the lord Who wants to save you from adversity and misery. The transmissions from above are purest, purest truth, recognizable to the earthly child who sincerely asks God for enlightenment and trusts Him for the answer. If the answer is already given to oneself, all error is encouraged and people then lead themselves onto the wrong path. Yet the lord protects those who fulfil His will and persevere in love for Him, for many labourers are needed in His vineyard ….

Amen

Matter as spirit carrier …. will to create …. dissolve …. compose ….

B.D. 0831 from March 27th 1939, taken from Book No. 17

Everything on earth serves the spiritual development of the human being. Nothing is visible to the human eye that was not created for this purpose …. All spirit from God animates matter, and again only so that it may one day become free from it and create and shape the same out of itself. Thus, for example, the form, which is in itself insubstantial, is only in connection with the spiritual what you are able to see it as and what is only then visible when the spirit has taken up residence in it. For all external form also consists of substance taken from the spiritual. Simply nothing can exist that is not spiritually enlivened, and a constant change of external form only has the purpose of uniting the different spiritual substance until a complete whole, the human soul, is formed. And this whole must then mature within itself and strive towards perfection. Thus earthly life is, so to speak, the station of formation of the spirit …. it is in the same proportion as the earthly activity of the human being is a constant reshaping of everything that is again accessible to the human being as matter …. since it continuously contributes to the human being’s revival and thus constantly supplies the soul’s external form, the human body, with vital substances, and all spiritual substances in the air are, as it were, absorbed by the body in order to then unite with the soul, so that the human soul is likewise increased. All form in itself is increased by the very supply from outside which conditions its life …. but so-called dead matter is increased by the human being’s will to shape, which again puts together the most diverse spiritual carriers and thus creates a whole from them again. Thus, either a great spiritual power can become active through the joining together of matter or spiritual power can be released through the dissolving or crushing of matter, which then again seeks its abode in another external form, and through joining together likewise in increased power. Therefore every matter has some purpose in the earthly sense, for if it were left completely unused the spiritual substance in it would have no possibility to mature in this external form ….

Vacuum ….

B.D. 0832 from March 28th 1939, taken from Book No. 17

Thus, outside the earth is a vacuum, the determination of it is, to capture the spiritual beings, so that they demand back for the shape, they want to escape, and therefore have to be in the immediate vicinity of earth. This space is a separation from all, that still remains in the matter and of the matter itself …. and the spiritual realm out-of-matter and will already therefore externally isolate the earth completely in the space of all creation, that is indeed the same way as the earth is alive, but is moving in completely different laws of compulsion, as they are understandable for the inhabitants of the earth. Therefore it is impossible in any way to overcome this vacuum of human hand and to make it passable through inventions of any kind, because whose task is taken spiritually, to roll back all from the earth outgoing to earth again …. but taken earthly this space would not save the necessary fluid for human life, which is indispensable for the body of people. An attempt to conquer the limit drawn by God’s will will inevitably also mean the earthly end of the attempter, because everything can remain living, beings and matter, as long as it is in the area of such a life and matter sheltering earth, but outside this the conditional elements of life are missing, out again wise thoughtful welfare by the creator for everything spiritual, that seeks to escape his destiny and would prolong his way of purification just endlessly. The air-void dominant spiritual world is in a certain state of maturity, in which it resides with the function for such defence of all earthly things. The farther the beings develop themselves, the more responsible richer is its task, but this is always based on the welfare of the take care of beings and therefore is achieved with zeal and love. But never the man as such will succeed, to get a usable area, which completely contradicts the nature of the earth and therefore also does not offer the slightest possibility of life, and all research of this area will stay unsucccessful, respectively will result in the physical end of the researchers ….

Arrogance …. faith paired with sharpness of mind ….

B.D. 0833 from March 28th 1939, taken from Book No. 17

Unspeakable misery is caused by people’s lack of faith, and even if the heavenly father in His mercy would like to control the misery through obvious evidence of divine activity which is intended to make it easier for people to believe …. it is a futile effort on the part of people who are imbued with their value. The lord enters every person’s life in so many different ways …. again and again they are given the opportunity to enter into a childlike relationship with Him …. And if people would let their hearts speak more and listen less to what their intellect advises them, humanity would truly be better off and its faith would be far deeper than it is now. Man is not to be taught who seeks to explain and dissect everything intellectually. Intellect without faith is to be valued at zero, faith alone will be pleasing to the father in heaven, but faith coupled with intellectual acuity is beneficial for the human being beyond all expectation, for only now will the right light shine for him, only now will he stand at the source of all wisdom, and his heart will widen in the realization of what abundance of spiritual goods is now offered to him and how successfully he can now use his intellectual acuity, which is inseparably connected with profound faith. Therefore, the source of wisdom must be constantly drawn from, for a spring which is opened for humanity to refresh itself will not run dry unless it rejects everything and does not appreciate the refreshment and strengthening offered to it. The greatest error and also the grossest offence against divine order is people’s self-conceit …. for truly the lever cannot be easily applied there. He who is small and thinks himself great also loses all appreciation of the value of truthfulness …. He who is not thirsty for truth in himself will also never be able to judge and will not be able to distinguish truth from lies, if it is offered to people as a spiritual good. Whoever wants to assert himself and his reputation first and foremost is not at all interested in fathoming the truth …. more is the truth inconvenient for him, since it first demands self-knowledge and the human being would have to descend from the high pedestal he has ascended himself …. And thus only the one who respects truth as the highest virtue can stand in the light, for pure truth can only be received by a truth-hungry person, and this with deepest humility of heart …. God’s grace does not approach arrogance, yet anyone who lives in humility is always and forever in God’s grace …. And thus the human being must first recognize himself, and this realization must make him aware of his own nothingness, then the human being will humbly bow before his creator and the divine grace will not be withheld from him, which helps him to stand in the right light ….

Amen

Rhythm …. natural phenomena ….

B.D. 0834 from March 29th 1939, taken from Book No. 17

The strangest phenomena repeat themselves in the same rhythm, and divine activity is already evident in them, which has made this uniformity a law of nature. If everything in the life of creatures, in nature and its phenomena, were a disorderly, arbitrary expression of spiritual power, then unbelievable chaos would soon be the result and the existence of individual creations would very easily be called into question, for only in the regulated activity of the spiritual powers influencing nature lies the security for the existence of creation. Precisely this regularity of all natural processes is a factor which must be taken into account and which conspicuously reveals a lawgiver Whose wisdom and omnipotence must be supreme in order to be able to guide the whole of creation with such regularity. And that further these laws of nature have remained unchanged since their existence, that the development of living beings always takes place in an unchanged form, that likewise the human being always and constantly remains in existence in all bodily functions, and this since the beginning of creation …. is indisputably proof of an unfathomable perfection of power and should therefore, with some thought, already put the human being into a state of faith, for to guide the entire universe in an always constant order is truly something which should not leave the human being in doubt that there must also be a ruler of the universe, to Whose will everything created is subject without exception. And the belief in this also gives rise to a feeling of reverence and love towards this controller of the universe …. The earth with all its natural phenomena is already a miracle to the thinking human being …. but how endlessly versatile is the whole of creation and how precisely the phenomena which are absolutely necessary for the existence of the whole take place in it and can be recognized again and again in the same rhythm ….

Divine love …. anode …. contact ….

B.D. 0835 from March 29th 1939, taken from Book No. 17

The sea of divine love pours out over all creatures. And whoever believes himself to be lonely does not respect this love, which replaces a thousandfold what he gives away or misses. For God’s love includes everything, protection and care and constant accompaniment on all paths. Those who enjoy divine love can never feel lonely, for in the connection with the lord, which everyone is able to establish himself, the human child is already relieved of loneliness, and to find constant protection and shelter outweighs all earthly happiness, for divine love with its eternal fire outshines all earthly splendour a thousand fold, for a light emanates from this love which is incomparably blissful for the one who stands in this light. The living contact with the divine lord is like an uninterrupted line to the anode, and the human being remains in constant benefit of divine love as long as he himself keeps in contact. Therefore no human being on earth is so pitiful despite all kinds of tribulations, for he always has the one advantage of being able to provide himself with comfort and help, happiness and joy through the connection with the divine saviour, Who in His infinite love takes care of every being, deservedly and undeservedly, yet always giving love in such abundance that the abundance of love could already give the earthly child unlimited bliss on earth if it were consciously received. Yet the human being has no idea of the strength of divine love …. he lacks all understanding for the divine creator’s comprehensive all-love, he only knows the term ‘love’ in a temporal sense which, however, is predominantly a desiring love and rarely only a giving love. And so the feeling of happiness is also developed in man far more in the love of possession than in renunciation and giving. But whoever wants to know true love in its deepest happiness must first renounce all love of possessions, only then can he feel divine love as the most delicious thing his heart can receive. To practice love oneself is the first and last commandment …. and the human being redeems himself through love, he becomes free and now feels the delights of love which the saviour Himself bestows upon him …. which is delicious and unlimited, which contains all the delights of heaven within itself …. which is as pure as gold and which enraptures every creature with the brightest rapture …. which cannot be replaced anywhere or by anything, which is the highest, the eternal bliss …. and yet is available to everyone again who only longs for the saviour’s love ….

Amen

Adaptability …. activity urge …. awakening the spirit of God ….

B.D. 0836 from March 30th 1939, taken from Book No. 17

All spirit from God has the ability to adapt itself and is therefore also able to work differently in every form which surrounds it, i.e., the activity of the spirit always corresponds to the task which the respective form has to fulfil on earth. Consequently, the spirit bearer, the external form, also has to carry out a constantly changing activity in order to serve the spiritual within itself and to fulfil the living conditions of the individual beings which are intended in creation. Although similar activity can often be observed in the various small living beings, the spiritual being from God brings a certain order into every activity, and this is also its spiritual activity in particular, so that precisely this order is established and maintained in the overall creation, whereas without it an incomparable confusion and arbitrary utilization of strength would only result in an indescribable chaos in creation. The different living beings’ urge to be active is not always equally strong, because the spiritual power animating them is also of different strength and therefore the same active ability is also not inherent in the beings as long as the spiritual substance is not in the same proportion to each other. Only the human being has a completely identically shaped soul in his external form, which is only different again in itself precisely because of the human being’s spiritual maturity, which again is only a result of the awakening of the divine spark, the spirit of God in the human being. Spiritual substance is everything that animates matter and therefore forms the soul of the human being after a long journey of innumerable soul particles through innumerable embodiments …. The spirit of God, however, is first placed in the now fully developed soul and must now be awakened by the will of the human being, i.e. through one’s own conscious cooperation, and completely unite with the soul …. This is the human being’s spiritual task on earth, which is completely separate from earthly activity, for the latter has been entrusted to people on earth in so many different ways, whereas spiritual activity, the awakening of the divine spirit, is every person’s destiny and is also completely independent of earthly activity, or rather, every earthly activity provides the same opportunity to mature and unite with the dormant spirit of God within it. Thus spiritual maturity can never be made dependent on the earthly task, but every human being can contribute to his inner development in every situation of life and thus also be responsible for it ….

Amen
